For cultivators, pills are not indispensable.

However, during the critical period of cultivation, the pill can often play a great role in boosting, and even have a long-term impact on the future cultivation path.

The opening up of other divine treasures each has a corresponding pill, this kind of pill has a high level, low yield, and a high realm for cultivators, so it is not in the consideration of civilians.

Let's just talk about practicing Qi Dan.

In addition to shortening the accumulation period of the Qi Awareness Period, this thing can also shorten the accumulation period of the Qi Awareness Period.

In the later stages, it also plays a rather important role, because for ordinary cultivators, it is very likely that there will be a shortage of true qi reserves.

It just so happens that the first time to refine the body, easy tendons, and forge bones is the time when the improvement is the greatest, if the true qi is insufficient at this time, it will really affect the whole life.

Therefore, for civilian cultivators, the most ideal situation is to have three Qi Cultivation Pills to spare when they rush to the realm.

But in this world, alchemists are scarce, even if the main medicine is very cheap, the Qi Cultivation Pill is ridiculously expensive, at least a few years' income of an ordinary family.

In the face of this situation, the commoners also have to enter the big family as retainers and pass on the cost to the big family.

If you can't squeeze it in, you will cook your own medicinal soup, or soak the medicine in wine.

Some extreme ones are even willing to be dannu for alchemists, giving them new pills to test in exchange for the supply of Qi Refining Pills.

Try to avoid situations where your true qi is insufficient.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of people in this Danfang street, not only buyers and sellers, but also all kinds of customers.

The carriage of the Ten Kings' Mansion swayed into a street in Danfang.

It soon attracted the attention of a part.

Somewhere on the second floor of Danfang.

"Huh? Zhao Ci's carriage? ”

When Zhao Yong saw the carriage, his whole eyelids jumped violently.

In the past few days, he has been immersed in work, and he has barely come out of the shadow of the sunset Tuo Xiangzi, and the place where the incident happened is in the aristocratic circle, so he didn't dare to spread the matter.

That's why he had the courage to go out again.

But I never thought about it.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ci's carriage, he felt that he had a tendency to be dragged back into the shadows.

His face was a little unpleasant: "What is this thing doing here?" ”

Side.

Zhu Yan thought for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness doesn't know anything!" His Royal Highness was busy going to see His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day, so I was busy and connected the Zhu family and the Feng family's steward.

I never thought that Zhao Ci would go to Fengjiadanfang with Feng Kucha in the evening, and he also wanted to break into the alchemy room, but they knew each other quite well, and they gave up after a few unsuccessful breaks! ”

Zhu is a queen and is now a relative.

The Feng family produced the crown princess and was a relative in the future.

However, according to the Dayu ancestral system, it is difficult for relatives to get too many additional benefits.

Therefore, the Feng Zhu family is now a princeling.

Zhao Yong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "Oh? He shouldn't want to start with the pill to accumulate merit, right? ”

Zhu Yan nodded: "It should be, but he should have given up now!" ”

Zhao Yong was in a good mood: "You did a good job, although there is a kind of meaning of killing chickens with a knife, but it is also a good thing for him to break his thoughts as soon as possible."

Speaking of which, my good brother is also pitiful, it has been seven days since the opening of the mansion, and there is even a father who sticks the emperor's list to help, but no one in Linge has gone to his mansion to apply for government officials, not even the waste of the Feng family.

This has just opened, and it has become the laughing stock of the entire Linge, and it is also the only one in the history of my Dayu, alas......"

He sighed fakely, but his expression management was already a little out of control.

The corners of his mouth are grinning, and his back molars are about to be exposed.

It's not that he's too angry.

But these days, the matter of Zhao Ci's opening of the mansion is really quite topical in Linge.

The laughing stock of the whole city is not an exaggeration at all.

Coupled with the grudges accumulated before, it was really difficult for him to burst into a smile.

Zhao Yong stood up: "This time he came to Danfang, he should have asked Concubine Jing for help, but Concubine Jing herself is difficult to protect, how can she support this stupid son?" Let's go down and see, maybe we can help my good brother." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Yan nodded and followed Zhao Yong downstairs.

These days, Zhao Yong has taken a lot of pills to protect his intestines, plus he has been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and he has investigated and recuperated all possible hidden diseases.

The embarrassing scene last time should not have happened.

……

"Da Da Da ......"

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a slightly dilapidated Danfang.

"Lee's Danfang."

Zhao Ci dismounted and glanced up, with indescribable disappointment in his eyes.

This Danfang is almost on the edge of Danfang Street.

It doesn't matter if the decoration is broken, but the door is really unacceptable.

Glancing at other Danfang, there is no need for small two to solicit customers at all, and they are all in the market one by one.

When you look at it again, the gap is too big.

Of course, the Li family is not among the seven meritorious families, even if it is placed in an ordinary family, it is not so conspicuous, but it is the mainstay of the Xiang Dan Society, and now the Xiang family's Danfang has not been fully completed, and this is the base camp of the Xiang Dan Society.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes and with a fat figure ran over and said diligently: "In Xia Li Fugui, I have seen His Highness!" ”

Li Fugui is the second-in-command of the Li family, and he is also in charge of Danfang's business.

He was enthusiastic.

At least much more enthusiastic than Gu Xiangzhu.

But also, Gu Xiangzhu didn't regard himself as a son, but others didn't know.

It's still going to be coaxed.

Zhao Ci arched his hand: "Shopkeeper Li!" Today I have something important to do, and I need to borrow the alchemist of your shop. ”

Li Fugui hurriedly said: "Niangniang has already explained, Your Highness is coming with me!" ”

said.

He respectfully took Zhao Ci into the store.

Then he commanded his subordinates: "Hurry up! Call out all the alchemists in Danfang and let His Highness choose. ”

After a while, the alchemists lined up in a row, about a dozen people.

One by one, they raised their heads and stood up straight.

Zhao Ci: "......"

He suddenly had the feeling of choosing a little girl in Shang K.

These people are in good spirits, their service attitude is also very good, and the response speed is ridiculously fast.

But it gave Zhao Ci an ominous premonition, that is, ...... The masters are all forced.

He had seen a lot of alchemists before, and although they also saluted when they saw him, they all looked more reserved.

These......

Putting aside the forced form, the alchemists of other families, except for alchemy, cultivate on their own every day, and they are very busy day and night.

These people seemed to be fishing at work, and suddenly saw the feeling of the leader coming to inspect.

Looking at the deserted business in Danfang, Zhao Ciquan understood.

He coughed lightly: "The Gongdan Conference is coming, aren't you all busy?" ”

"Not busy!"

Li Fugui explained: "The Gongdan Conference needs on-site alchemy to evaluate the production capacity of each family's pills.

Except for the secret method that Niangniang occasionally sends to refine the alchemy, which needs us to study it intensively, there is nothing else. ”

"But this business ......"

Zhao Ci looked puzzled: "Didn't you say that the supply of Qi Cultivation Pill is in short supply?" Although we can't compare to the pills, we don't have a single guest, right? ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed.

Li Fugui smiled: "Your Highness doesn't know, in terms of the quality of the pill, we are indeed worse than the pills, but the cost is not lower than them." There is no profit if the price is reduced, and our alchemists are unwilling. Those who can afford to buy Qi Cultivation Pill will not come to us to buy it. Dannu thinks about it, we won't develop a new Dan Fang.

Therefore, most of the Qi Refining Pills refined by our big families are internally digested, or exchanged resources with several well-connected families, and each recruited retainers for use.

Recently, it has become more and more difficult to continue, if it weren't for the mother's willingness to stand up and open up a way for everyone to live, we, Danfang, may have completely withdrawn from the Linge market a few months ago. ”

"Oh......"

Zhao Ci was stunned, he didn't expect the business of pills to be so cruel.

Li Fugui was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly promised: "But Your Highness can rest assured, as long as we can win the batch of Dan furnaces of the Zhuge family this time, we will definitely be able to win a place in the Gongdan Conference." ”

The voice did not fall.

A yin and yang voice sounded outside the door.

"Zhuge family's Dan furnace, but there are many people who want to compete for it, Shopkeeper Li is so confident that he can take down the Dan furnace?"
