Before Huey sells the potion, he borrowed five gold wit from Clarice to buy himself a pretty good-looking outfit.
The shop in front of me, in terms of interior decoration, is not much different from other shops, the goods cabinet made of fragrant wood, the worker will scrub it with water every day to keep it fragrant. The potion cabinet is filled with potions with the price, function, maker, and precautions to be taken when using them, and the walls are covered with various swords, some of which have been filled with magic, while others still retain their most basic functions. Rows of sharp halberds were inserted next to the innermost walls, and seven or eight pieces of armor were placed in a row at the entrance of the inner hall, each with a completely different style and charm.
After entering the shop, Xiu Yi saw a young man in front of him.
He said to Hue and Clarice in a respectful tone, "Welcome to the shop, what services do you need?"
Xiu Yi said casually: "I'm just here to see, if there is anything you need, I will naturally tell you." ”
Clarice was a little surprised at Huey's attitude at the moment, didn't he come in to sell potions, but this woman was not stupid, she withdrew her surprised look, lowered her head and said nothing.
Xiu Yi wandered around, and after observing his surroundings, he paid special attention to the potion counter.
The prices of the potions at the counter were inconsistent, some of them could take more than a dozen gold vetts to buy, while others only needed a few silver vetts. And most of them are disposable drugs, and the whole bottle must be drunk to work.
In addition to the different reasons in terms of cost, the most important reason is that they are also different in grade and function.
The elixir of Fengming Da 6 is generally divided into five grades: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, fine grade and top grade.
Most of the potions sold in Dafan shops are in the range of inferior to high-grade, after all, ordinary people don't need high-end goods. Boutique products are only available in a few pharmacies.
As for the top products, in fact, if you don't consider Purgatory Island, looking at the entire Big 6, you can't find a few alchemists who can make it. If there is one in the shop, it is all put up as a treasure of the town store.
Even Neil, who was killed by Xiu Yi in the first place, may only be an apprentice on Purgatory Island, and if he walks out of this island, he will immediately become a top alchemist in potions.
This is mainly because many alchemists simply do not have access to those top-level materials, and they can't practice them without theory, so how can they achieve anything?
Walking to a boutique potion counter, Xiu Yi took out a bottle of berserk potion, looked at the color and gloss of the potion, and then uncorked it and sniffed it.
The graying old man in the shop froze slightly after seeing Xiuyi's skillful movements.
The guy next to him walked up and was about to introduce the bottle of medicine to Xiu Yi, who had already said: "A good potion, it can last at least half an hour after use, and the weakness afterwards is not too strong, and the duration is relatively short." ”
The guy admired: "This customer is really amazing, this is the specialty of the potion made in our shop." ”
"But alas, it doesn't do much better than other berserk potions in terms of increasing the amount of rage, right? ”
The man froze and looked at the old man in the distance.
The old man walked over.
He looked at Xiu Yi very carefully, "It seems that you are a guest with excellent eyesight, and you are right, the berserk potions we have made here are not better at amplifying the effect. But I'm sure that considering how long it lasts, and how much weaker it is greatly reduced, this bottle definitely deserves its premium rating. The price is definitely reasonable. ”
"That's just your opinion. Huey replied.
The old man frowned with some displeasure: "This guest, the Berserk Elixir achieves a short-term lifting effect by stimulating the potential within the human body. Being able to minimize its side effects while having the same boosting effect has always been the pursuit of every berserk potion maker. Of the furious potions I know so far, there's hardly anything more effective than this one. ”
Xiu Yi raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. This action fell in the eyes of the old man, implying disdain.
Xiu Yi speaks softly and elegantly, his pronunciation is very clear, and his speech is not fast, giving people a sense of stability. This is the standard behavior pattern of the aristocratic boy, and judging from his demeanor, this young man has a good etiquette upbringing, although his tone is a little louder, but it is not annoying, so the old man will bother to explain.
His actions at this moment made the old man slightly unhappy, and he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "Then do you have any advice for this guest? I mean listen to you, you have a better potion than this?"
Perhaps it was the young man's peculiar arrogance that played a role, and the old man's agitation had a noticeable effect, and the noble young man immediately said, "Oh, yes, I have a few potions here, I think you may be able to take a look." ”
Clarice, who was watching from the sidelines, somewhat understood Huey's intentions.
Sure enough, the next moment, when Xiu Yi took out the potion and gave it to the old man, the old man's attention was immediately attracted by the three bottles of potion.
The three flasks are "Berserk Elixir", "Exemption Potion", and "Healing Potion".
Judging from the clarity and transparency of the potion, it is clear that these three bottles are all superlative elixirs. However, it is not entirely certain from this aspect alone.
The old man said firmly, "I want to test." ”
"No problem. "Xiu Yi doesn't care.
Naturally, the inspection of the pharmacy cannot be like an alchemist refining a bottle and taking a sip, if that is the case, the pharmacy will not have to do business, and will have to open a coffee shop instead.
The fellow quickly took out a few test stones and dropped a drop-off of the potion from each of the three bottles on the white stones. The test stone will give a special color and brightness according to the corresponding medicinal effect.
As Xiu Yi had expected, the three test stones shone brightly at the same time, shocking everyone at once, even the nobleman and samurai who were choosing weapons and armor on the side were attracted to attention.
Even the most idiot and layman can see from this dazzling degree that these three bottles of potions are extraordinary.
"Yes...... It's top-notch......" The guy said dumbfounded, his hand shaking, and he almost dropped the bottle of potion in his hand.
The old man looked at Xiu Yi in disbelief, and then at the potions, he thought for a moment and said, "I want to test again!"
For top-of-the-line drugs, it is normal for pharmacies to use a variety of methods to test them to re-establish their value.
Xiu Yi shook his hands indifferently and let them toss, himself leisurely looking at the nearby goods. I took out bottle after bottle of potion very casually to admire, analyze their medicinal properties, and make comparisons.
The results of the re-examination only further confirmed that the value of these agents is indeed very expensive. After the old man had used all the test methods, he finally confirmed: "These are indeed three top-grade potions, and the side effects of your berserk potion are lower than ours, but the berserk effect is more obvious...... Guest, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, your potion is much better than ours. ”
From this sentence, it is obvious that the demeanor and bearing of an old businessman do not deliberately slander each other for the sake of their own reputation, but recognize the value of the other party's medicine.
In fact, all those who can have top-level potions are not ordinary people, and the old man's obedience is completely deserved.
Xiu Yi said indifferently, "So how much do you think my potion is worth?"
The old man immediately replied: "This bottle of berserk potion can be used twice and is worth seven hundred gold vit, this bottle of spell exemption potion can only be used once and is worth four hundred gold vit, and as for this bottle of healing potion, it can be used ten times and is worth one thousand gold vit." ”
An exclamation sounded in the pharmacy.
Clarice covered her lips with her small hands and looked at Huey in disbelief.
Although she was fully aware of what a stupid mistake she had made after seeing Huey's previous performance, she still didn't expect that these three bottles of potions could be sold for the price of two thousand one hundred gold vit.
It's unimaginable.
Clarice felt the urge to regret it to the point of wanting to kill herself. Damn, when did I become so stupid?
The expression on her face was so sad that Xiu Yi wanted to laugh, and the joy of the plot of revenge rose in her heart.
When Xiu Yi took back the three bottles of potion, he could clearly see the corners of the old man's mouth twitch slightly.
Obviously, top-notch potions are not so easy to come by, and if you can have it, you will undoubtedly add more luster to your own shop. It's just that the old man's heart was hesitant, because he also noticed that the names of the producers on the three bottles of potions had been torn off.
This means that the teenager in front of him does not plan to announce who the producer is.
There is no way to know who made the potion, which is extremely disadvantageous for the shop. This is most likely an indication that the agent is from an improper source. Of course, it is not impossible for shops to buy this drug, but they will keep the price extremely low. However, for top-of-the-line medicines, lowering the purchase price is undoubtedly equivalent to driving people away.
Huey didn't seem to care what the old man thought.
After turning the potion counter, he went to the wall of the shop again, and looked at the magic swords.
Swords and armor with magic have long been a favorite of samurai.
They can make heavy armor light, or they can make ordinary longswords extremely sharp. However, enchanting weapons has always been a major problem for alchemists.
This dilemma is mainly reflected in the aspect of cost control.
Samurai, unlike magicians, are always at the forefront of the charge, and while striking at the enemy, they also suffer the fate of being hit by the enemy. Whether it's weapons or armor, they can be easily damaged in battle.
Enchanted weapons are not a symbol of invincibility, they only have an absolute advantage against normal weapons, but in front of similar products, the effects of both sides will be negated. Therefore, an enchanted armor that costs a lot of effort and high cost to make is likely to be chopped by the enemy in a single battle, and the damage caused will be extremely large.
Even if damage is not taken into account, this type of weapon has a lot of advantages just from the perspective of enchantment.
Metal is inherently resistant to magic, and it is difficult to use armor made of fine metal to wield its full utility, even with the most sophisticated magic circles. This kind of circle is very easy to be destroyed by external attacks, and it is likely that an ordinary attack will cause the enchantment to fail.
Therefore, the use of magic weapons is a love-hate attitude for the entire Fengming Big 6.
A samurai who doesn't have a magic weapon will definitely suffer a lot against a samurai with a magic weapon, but if everyone uses this kind of weapon, the result is likely to be a lose-lose situation. Unless it's someone who really has too much money to spend, samurai always choose their magic weapons as carefully as possible.
The aristocratic middle-aged man and the samurai in front of him were obviously hesitant in this regard.
They had been standing there for a long time, until Xiui came over and picked up one of the heavy swords to take a closer look.
When he saw Xiu Yi lightly pick up the heavy sword, the eyes of the samurai next to him were extremely surprised.
