Chapter 108: Preparing to Accept Disciples
After the Yuanyang grass was in his hands, Gu Zuo began to refine the elixir in the secret cave on the top of the mountain, and the Huaixian Pavilion was about to open, so he had to hurry up and take out the main product.
The first thing to refine was the Five Flavor Rehmannia Pill. This kind of high-end elixir of Huaixian Pavilion, Gu Zuo can open one furnace a day, each furnace gets about six grains, and the cost of each herb is about 500 Wen, and he has prescribed himself a labor cost of 500 Wen per pill, and the added cost is consistent.
Gu Zuo refined it for six days, and finally succeeded in refining thirty-six pills, there are five kinds of healing elixirs of the same type on the market in Montenegro County, the most expensive is the Eighteen Grass Pill of Yunmeng Sect and the Shenying Pill of the Kucang Sect, both of which are eight guans, and the cheapest is the ebony elixir of the local Wancao Garden of the Black Mountain Zhao, and the price is five guan. Gu Zuo plans to set the price five times and test the water first without disrupting the market.
Next up are sperm preservation pills. This elixir is easier to refine, Gu Zuo opens three furnaces a day, each furnace can guarantee nine grains, and the success rate reaches ninety, which is about twenty-seven grains. Gu Zuo refined it for fifteen days in one breath and obtained four hundred grains.
There is no such type of elixir on the market for the time being, this is to fill the gap in the market, and it is unlikely to have an impact on other elixirs, which is equivalent to adding a layer to the cake, of course, there is no mature pricing model, so he asked Ding Jiugu: "Our sperm preservation pills, how much will Jiugu buy them?"
Ding Jiugu thought for a while and said, "Five hundred wen, six hundred wen?"
Gu Zuo looked at her hesitant expression, so he decided to set the price at three hundred wen, and each pill could net two hundred wen.
Gu Zuo estimated that the amount of elixir in the first three months of opening was almost the same, and if all of them were sold, the total income would reach 300 guan, and the net profit would be more than 200 guan.
If you only sell half of it, you can make a net profit of 100 yuan, which is enough!
In fact, for Gu Zuo himself, refining the Essence Preservation Pill is not cost-effective, the Wuwei Rehmannia Pill takes six days, and the net income is more than 140 times, and the Essence Preservation Pill takes 15 days, but it can only net 80 times. Therefore, he planned to hand over the Essence Preservation Pill to someone else to refine, and he would refine the Five Rehmannia Pills once a month or every three months to ensure the cultivation time—provided that the market was smooth.
Who will you give the sperm preservation pill to refine? Gu Zuo decided to open a hall to accept apprentices!
There is only one kind of spirit grass in the essence preservation pill, and the cultivator can refine it in the early stage of qi refining, and use the spirit true qi to perform the Miao Su Dan Sutra, even if he can't reach such a high efficiency, as long as it reaches one-third, and squeezes it for fifteen days a month, he can make a net profit of twenty-five to thirty yuan, and take out five yuan as a salary, and leave at least twenty yuan of net income for himself, tsk, not bad!
The Five Moons, even if they are placed in the Yunmeng Sect, are actually quite high, the only difference is that the apprentices they recruit are not mainly based on cultivation, but mainly on alchemy to make money.
Of course, in addition to apprentices, you can also recruit one or two casual cultivators, mainly to do things, and then fill the façade, after all, a Taoist hall listed in the "Book of Sects in the World", there is only one monk, and it is still very ashamed to say it.
But Gu Zuo is now facing a problem, he has not reached the foundation building, and he can't see people's cultivation talent. Suppose a teenager wants to worship the Huaixian Pavilion, Gu Zuo doesn't know if the other party has the talent to eat this bowl of rice, the only way is to pass on the spirit search recipe to the young man and try it for a few days. But this method is too difficult to operate.
First of all, you have to take the time to explain the spirit search technique, and then instruct the other party to absorb the spirit stone, this process is difficult to complete without seven or eight days. No matter how simple and easy to learn the spirit search recipe is, he also spent a long time in advance to figure it out slowly, and he began to practice with the exercises, that is not a monk, that is an immortal.
Secondly, if the other party is not suitable for cultivation, this is a high probability event, what should we do next? Erase the soul search recipe from the other person's mind? This really can't be done.
In addition, if you want to recruit scattered cultivators, Gu Zuo can feel the other party's true qi, but he can't tell the other party's realm from the intensity of his true qi, different cultivation behaviors represent different salaries, and the other party can't say that he is building a foundation, so he really pays according to the foundation, right?
Gu Zuo's solution is to find someone to borrow a magic weapon.
Zhong Senjun didn't expect Gu Zuo to come to him to borrow a magic weapon, generally speaking, most monks will wait until they have cultivated to the foundation before they start accepting disciples, even if there are a few who accept disciples in advance, there are also sect seniors above the foundation behind them to help support, such as Gu Zuo's situation, it is really rare.
Of course, Gu Zuo would not tell Zhong Senjun that the purpose of his apprenticeship was not to pass on his art, but to make money, but to say that his family was in a special situation and that he should hurry up to "pass on the ancestry".
Speaking of this, Zhong Senjun didn't want to ask too deeply, so he asked with a smile: "Don't you want me to help you borrow something from the Law Division?"
Gu Zuo said helplessly: "The big sects of the Luofu faction and the Qingcheng faction, I definitely can't borrow magic weapons, and other small sects rarely have this kind of expensive magic weapons. ”
"You want to borrow that set from the Fasi?"
"There's no way, it's better than nothing, if you know any sect that has this thing and is willing to borrow it, of course I can't do it, even if I give some money. ”
"This ...... Not really, or not, I'll give you a run. ”
A household division joins the army and borrows things from people from the same yamen, no matter what it is, the success rate is much greater than that of outsiders, Zhong Senjun really borrowed things, but he can't get it now.
"Chen Haozi is not in the Law Division, he went out to do errands, and the Dian Cao of the Law Department said that it was not a big problem, but it was necessary for Chen Haozi to agree. Don't worry, he didn't go far away, and when he comes back, I'll tell him, I won't refute my face, and I'll send someone to send you to Gengjin Mountain when the time comes. ”
"Where is it embarrassing, Zhong Senjun sent someone to inform me, and I will take it myself. ”
"If you have the time to send someone to inform you, it is better to send it to you directly. By the way, will you use that set of magic weapons?"
"Where can I use it, I've only heard about it before, and I've never seen it, and I have to bother Zhong to join the army, send someone who can use it, and guide us when the time comes. ”
After the matter was done, Gu Zuo thanked Zhong Senjun and said goodbye: "Then I will go back first, and welcome to join the army and come to Gengjin Mountain as a guest when you are free." Finally, I would like to ask, Huaixian Pavilion is recruiting, can you write a notice on the white bi at the gate of our county guard's mansion? I can pay. ”
Zhong Shenjun said: "No need, at the end of each year, it is the time for your sect near the Yuan River to find people, in addition to Hongfuguan, Lotus Leaf Cave, Guchi Villa, Xianglu Gate, Hanshan Sect, and Wanqi Valley are recruiting people at this time, you put the sign of the sect and the notice of recruiting people at the intersection, and naturally someone will go up the mountain to take the exam." Today is November 25th, you prepare first, as far as I know, it starts on the first day of December. ”
Gu Zuo arched his hand: "Thank you Zhong for joining the army, then we will have a lively time in the Huaixian Pavilion and recruit people together." ”
Zhong Senjun looked at Gu Zuo and said, "I have learned about your past, and it is not easy to hold up the Huaixian Pavilion until now." As long as you work hard, the Montenegrin edict will be your home!"
Gu Zuo was stunned, couldn't say a word, and bowed to the end.
Out of the door of the household division, Gu Zuo waved his fist: "You have to work hard!"
Zhong Senjun, who sent him out of the door, couldn't help but be infected, and subconsciously clenched his fists on the steps: "Work hard!"
