Chapter 37: Giving Back to the Family
Zhou Yang almost "escaped" out of the "Drunken Immortal Building" in embarrassment.
His glorious image, after learning that it was he who made crooked moves to make himself and others sacrifice his hue to generate income for the restaurant, was completely shattered in front of his sisters and sisters.
In fact, he also knew that if Zhou Yuanzhen and the others were unwilling, his crooked ideas would not be useful at all.
After all, although the family can let them work in the restaurant by assigning tasks, it is impossible to force them to sacrifice their hue to generate income for the family, which will not only make other families laugh, but also break the hearts of all clansmen.
The reason why Zhou Yuanzhen and the others are willing to follow his crooked ideas is not only because they can get a commission income, but also because their own consciousness is high enough, they know that the family's cultivation resources are not easy to come by, and they don't want to be a useless person to the family.
In order to help the family earn spirit stones, the male monks in the family need to follow the caravan to walk in the desert for several months, and need to fight with sand bandits and demon beasts.
Now that they only need to sacrifice a little bit of hue to help the family generate income, what reason do they have to refuse to do it?
As a family monk, you can not only enjoy the benefits of the family, but also share the responsibilities of the family.
If there was no family protection, if a low-qualified female cultivator like them wanted to survive in the immortal cultivation world, it would not be as simple as sacrificing a little hue like now!
However, although the truth is so, this kind of thing that makes the family female cultivators sacrifice their hue to generate income is not a glorious thing after all, and Zhou Yang, as a man, will always be a little ashamed and embarrassed when facing these sisters and sisters.
Compared with these brothers and sisters who silently pay for the family, he is a bit like a rice worm.
Although from a practical point of view, just the credit for his discovery of the "Haoyang Cave" and the Red Flame Iron Vein is greater than the combined credit of all the monks of the entire "Yuan" generation to the family.
"I didn't have a choice before, but now that I've come to Fang City, let me use my alchemy skills to repay the family!"
Zhou Yang walked on the road of Fang City, looking at the many immortal cultivators who came and went in Fang City, and secretly made some kind of determination in his heart.
The next day, the three guys of "Yuquan Building" all went out and went to the places with the largest flow of people in the market, and loudly chanted what Zhou Yang taught them.
"Come on, come on, all the Taoist friends have come over, [Yuquan Building] has been open for two hundred and thirty years, from now on, anyone who consumes more than three hundred spirit stones in Yuquan Building can get the opportunity to refine the second-order lower-grade magic weapon for free, and those who consume more than five hundred spirit stones can get a second-order medium-grade magic weapon refining opportunity for free, and those who consume one thousand spirit stones can get a second-order high-grade magic weapon refining opportunity for free, and after all magic weapons fail to refined, they will be compensated according to seventy percent of the original price. ”
"[Yuquan Building] has been open for two hundred and thirty years, and the price of all custom magic weapons business has been reduced by three percent, and all magic weapons below the third order have been refined. ”
After Zhou Yang's alchemy technique reached the second-order high-grade magic weapon, the success rate of refining the second-order high-grade magic weapon was about thirty percent, and the success rate of refining the second-order middle-grade magic weapon was more than sixty percent.
And the refining weapon is not as good as alchemy, if the refining fails, as long as the rescue is timely, the materials will not be completely damaged, but the grade will be reduced, which is also the confidence that he dares to take orders wantonly.
Furthermore, if a refiner wants to improve the level of alchemy and the success rate of refining, the most direct way is to refine more magic weapons, and the more magic weapons refined, the success rate will definitely increase.
Like Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, he is also a second-order high-grade alchemist, but his success rate in refining the second-order high-grade spirit pill is as high as fifty percent, surpassing most of the second-order alchemists in this "Jinshafang City".
The reason for this is because he has been a second-order high-grade alchemist for many years, and he has opened the furnace to refine the second-order elixir hundreds of times.
"Yuquanlou" also accepted the customization of magic weapons before, but it only accepted the customization of third-order lower-grade magic weapons, and every time after receiving an order, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was invited to refine it personally.
However, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan couldn't leave the family easily, and not everyone could take out the refining materials for third-order magic weapons, so on average, he might not be able to receive a single magic weapon customization business in ten years.
However, now it is different, now that Zhou Yang, a second-order high-grade refiner, has settled in the "Yuquan Building", those second-order magic weapon customization businesses that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan did not look down on and did not have time to refine can be completed by him.
His pricing is also very fair, for each successful refining of a magic weapon, he only charges a fee equivalent to 20% of the value of the magic weapon, which is not too attractive to those casual cultivators.
Taking a second-order high-grade magic weapon as an example, the purchase price of the store is at least five hundred grade spirit stones, but the value of the raw materials can reach one hundred grade spirit stones.
After many casual cultivators get the raw materials, because they don't know how to refine the weapon, they can only sell the materials to those shops at a low price, and then buy the magic weapon refined from the raw materials at five or ten times the price.
But now it's different, now as long as they take the materials and go to Zhou Yang to refine, even if they fail, they will only lose less than thirty lower grade spirit stones, and once they succeed, it will be equivalent to earning at least three hundred lower grade spirit stones!
Double the investment, 10 times the return!
Where can you find such a good thing?
For a time, the "Yuquan Building", which was originally not up or down in the Fang Market, suddenly became the most lively place in the Fang City, and many scattered cultivators who heard the news came to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
And after these people entered the store, they saw the store full of pills, magic weapons, and spirit runes, of course, some people couldn't help but buy some things they needed, which directly led to a significant increase in the sales of "Yuquan Building".
Zhou Yang played a trick at this time, when he asked those who came to customize the magic weapon to register, he deliberately ranked the refining order of the second-order high-grade magic weapon at the back, so that he could refine the second-order lower-grade magic weapon and the second-order middle-grade magic weapon first to improve the success rate of the refining weapon and minimize the loss after failure.
The "Yuquan Building" was full of customers, of course, it attracted the envy and dissatisfaction of the shopkeepers of other shops in the city, and there were many other family refiners waiting to see Zhou Yang's jokes.
In fact, the shops that are mainly engaged in the magic weapon business have always had this customized magic weapon service, but the general consensus is that you must not accept orders of the same grade as your own alchemy, and only half of the material cost will be returned at most if the refining fails, and fifty percent of the cost of purchasing the same magic weapon will be charged if the refining is successful.
Only by doing this can we ensure that we have a profit, otherwise we will be working for those casual cultivators for nothing.
Anyway, they have mastered the alchemy technique, and after the cultivators get the materials, whether they are reluctant or not, they can only sell them at a cheap price in the end.
Therefore, Zhou Yang's current approach, in the eyes of these refiners, must be to lose all his pants in the end, who does he think he is?
In fact, it was not only those refiners who thought like this, but also Zhou Xuanlin, who was still buying the spiritual objects needed for Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building celebration for his family in Fang City, when he heard about Zhou Yang's plan, he also thought so, and persuaded him to give up with the appearance of a person who had come over.
But after Zhou Yang calculated an account for him, he didn't say anything and went to do his own thing with peace of mind.
Zhou Yang didn't care what outsiders thought, after he got the interior, he went to the Chen family to rent a refining room in the earth fire cave opened up on Jinxia Mountain, and prepared to live here for a long time.
Anyway, he has explained everything to the "Yuquan Building", except for Zhou Ping, who will return to the family with Zhou Xuanlin, Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiong, who stay here, as long as they do what he explains, it is enough to maintain the normal operation of the "Yuquan Building", even if there is something that he needs to deal with, he can also use the transmission note to inform him.
As for the "Drunken Immortal Building", because the foundation building celebration on the family side also needs to entertain some distinguished guests, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan has already ordered Zhou Yuanchun and others to return to the family to help first, and the "Drunken Immortal Building" will be temporarily closed for a period of time.
Earth Fire is a high-temperature flame originating from underground magma, and its flame temperature is much higher than that of the foundation building true fire of the foundation building monk, and it does not need to consume the monk's mana when using it, so there is no need to worry about running out.
Because of these benefits, since the immortal cultivators discovered the wonderful use of earth fire, alchemists and refiners who cultivated below the Yuan Infant Stage have given up the true fire and switched to the earth fire when refining the pill refining weapon.
After all, alchemy and refining are both very energy-consuming things, and if you have to consume mana to maintain the true fire during refining, sometimes it is easy to fail to refine due to insufficient mana supply.
In particular, the refining time of some high-grade pills and magic weapons is extremely long, often several days or even dozens of days, and after such a long time, even the Jindan stage cultivators will have to consume a lot of vitality.
However, although the earth fire is good, it is not something that everyone can use.
First of all, it is necessary to draw the earth fire out from the ground, and it is necessary for the immortal cultivators above the Purple Mansion period to take action in person, and then it is also necessary to ask the third-order and above array mages to arrange a suppression array to suppress and block the violent and ferocious earth fire, and then ask the third-order and above refiners to refine special purification magic weapons to purify the poisonous fire and evil qi contained in the earth fire.
Without any of these links, it is impossible to turn cremation into practicality.
Therefore, although everyone knows the benefits of earth fire, the only ones who can really establish an earth fire room and use earth fire are those who have monks above the Purple Mansion stage and who are in charge.
If a monk from a small family like Zhou Yang wanted to use the Earth Fire Refiner for alchemy, he could only go to the Immortal Cultivator's Fang City like "Jinshafang City" to pay the spirit stones and rent the Earth Fire Room opened up by the Chen family.
The Chen family has built thirteen earth fire rooms in the ground fire cave of "Jinshafang City", and collects spirit stones according to the three levels of A, B and C, the only one that requires ten lower grade spirit stones a day to use, and the four grade B earth fire rooms are three lower grade spirit stones a day, and the remaining C-grade earth fire room only needs one lower grade spirit stone a day.
Zhou Yang only refined second-order magic weapons, and renting a C-level earth fire room was completely sufficient.
