Chapter 105: Two kinds of elixirs are high and low
The two members of the Liu family are indeed quite capable, especially Liu Wu, who started to work, and Ding Jiugu immediately got rid of the trivial things in life and went to Montenegro County to find a carpenter.
Gu Zuo summoned Liu Wu to Shangshanping and asked him to level out a half-acre piece of land behind the cliff: "The plough must be five inches, the soil must be fine, and the interval is half a foot for ridges." ”
Liu Wu asked: "Is the hall owner preparing to cultivate the elixir?" I know, the hall owner can rest assured, I have done this work in other people's homes before. ”
Gu Zuo watched Liu Wu work for a while, and confirmed that he was a good hand, so he entered the hut with confidence and continued his practice. After absorbing a spirit stone in two days, the carpenter master invited by Ding Jiugu followed her up the mountain.
After another two days, the old master took all seven of his apprentices up the mountain, ate and lived in the main hall of the lower mountain flat, cut wood from the nearby mountains, and dragged them to the main hall to make all kinds of furniture, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of sawing wood all day long.
Ding Jiugu has run a lot, and she has become familiar with many things, and her efficiency is very fast. After another three days, a team of 20 masons climbed Gengjin Mountain and began to build two courtyards. These two suites are located on both sides of the main hall, and the foundation has been laid by the Wangwu faction, which is very convenient to repair.
Because Gengjin Mountain is far away from the city, the transportation of green bricks and red tiles is more troublesome, Ding Jiugu also spent a lot of time to hire someone to drive the board car and transport more than ten bricks and tiles.
After Liu Wu finished plowing half an acre of land, Gu Zuo expressed his satisfaction, and transferred one from the carpenter to make bamboo fences around this half acre of land, Gu Zuo's only requirement is that it must be strong and thick.
Gu Zuo went down the mountain, made some purchases in the major pharmacies in the county town of Montenegro, purchased more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and then returned to the mountain. He went into the refuge cave at the top of the mountain and began his alchemy experiment with the alchemy technique of the "Miao Su Dan Sutra".
Taking alchemy as the first step to start is what he has thought of a long time ago, and the product he is going to take out is the "Wuwei Dihuang Pill" that has a good effect on the damage of the Five Elements Dao Technique, the name is somewhat deceptive, and can put a layer of confusion on the prescription.
Among the eighteen medicinal materials needed for the eighteen herbs, three are elixirs, so the medicinal properties of the elixir are very strong, and at the same time they are also very expensive, and one elixir is worth six to eight times, and it is difficult for anyone to afford it. Gu Zuo used Sou Ling True Qi to refine the Five Flavor Dihuang Pill, the prescription did not change, what changed was the time of refining and the success rate of opening the furnace.
Based on the search for spiritual true qi, using the Miao Su Dan method to refine the prescription of Yunmeng Sect, the effect is surprisingly good. The foundation building deacon of the Yunmeng Sect can successfully refine a furnace of eighteen herb pills in three days, with only three grains, but Gu Zuo can open three furnaces in a row in three days, and each furnace can get six grains! Even if the difference in cultivation is not counted, the labor cost is only one-sixth of that of the Yunmeng Sect, which is where his confidence lies in opening the alchemy.
But through these two months of on-the-ground travel, Gu Zuo found that there was no healing pill suitable for ordinary boxers such as Ding Jiugu and Liu Wu, and even the Cheng Dart Head and Zhou Dart Head of the Nantuo Dart Bureau, it was difficult for them to afford the expensive Eighteen Herb Pills and other elixirs, so he planned to refine a new elixir, which was actually a simplified version of the Wuwei Dihuang Pill.
Gu Zuo has been thinking about this question all this time, and he is also consulting information. Thanks to his two months of hard study in Dinghu Gate, a large number of spiritual herbs were recorded in the storage wrench, and after careful comparison, he decided to remove two of the three spiritual herbs and replace the other one with the cheaper Yuanyang grass on the market. This kind of Yuanyang Grass is the spirit grass that was discovered by the Yuan Dao Elder three years ago and helps to improve the essence of the essence.
In fact, what Gu Zuo wanted to use was not the benefits of Yuanyang Grass to improve the essence element, the main purpose of adding this elixir was to add spiritual power. Compared with other elixirs, the spiritual power of Yuanyang Grass is relatively pure or harmless, and there are fewer toxic side effects - this is also the reason why it can add a lot of elixirs, adding spiritual power, the new elixir should be able to have the healing effect of Wuwei Dihuang Pill 20%.
The medicinal effect is less for many monks, but it is just right for the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who are active in southern Xinjiang, even for those who build foundations and refine qi, it is better than nothing. The elixir that Gu Zuo plans to refine, the target market is these people, although the potency has decreased, the price has also dropped significantly, so that ordinary people can afford it.
Gu Zuo's hope is to turn this new elixir into a healing jelly bean that can be eaten in his mouth anytime and anywhere, and the eighteen herb pills are sold for six times, and I only sell them consistently, okay? If not, then half a pill, or even three hundred pills! His ultimate goal is not to sell three or five grains, but to sell thirty, fifty, or even hundreds of pills!
A month later, after several batches of refining, Gu Zuo completed his experiment. Similar to what was expected, since only one spirit grass was used as the main ingredient, the time for refining the pill was greatly reduced. At the same time, Sou Ling True Qi continued to hold high the signboard of "universal and easy to travel", which not only greatly increased the refining power, but also maintained the excellent advantage of being able to rotate in a continuous manner without the need to adjust and rest.
As a result, the cost of medicinal materials has been reduced by two-thirds, and the cost of labor has been reduced by more than ninety.
Gu Zuo took the first furnace of "jelly beans" he refined, and tried it on Ding Jiugu and Liu Wu (the picture here is slightly bloody, not suitable for children), after two days of observation, it not only has a healing effect, but also has a refreshing effect, especially after Liu Wu tried it, Liu Sister-in-law was more satisfied.
The trial is complete!
After careful consideration, combined with the needs of the market, Gu Zuo plans to name it as Baojing Pill, as a low-end product, and Wuwei Dihuang Pill as a high-end product, which is compatible with high and low to meet the needs of different people.
Taking a step closer to his own entrepreneurial road, Gu Zuo told Ding Jiugu to grasp the construction progress of the Huaixian Pavilion, and he himself went down to Gengjin Mountain.
The place Gu Zuo was going to was Wenjiang, two hundred and sixty miles southwest of Montenegro County. This time, Gu Zuo hired a foundation building monk to guide the way through Yaxing. Although it was only two hundred and sixty miles, the asking price of this foundation building monk still reached three spirit stones, which was quite expensive, but considering that the other party was risking his risk to lead the way, Gu Zuo still agreed.
Without stopping along the way, after traveling for two days and one night, Gu Zuo came to the Pingtai Lingzhi Villa in the upper reaches of the Wenjiang River.
The original Taoist went out and was not in the villa, but his master in the villa had been instructed to know about Gu Zuo, so he immediately asked Gu Zuo to stay: "The eldest brother took the brothers of the Zhao family to the south to see Zhuang Dashao, maybe he will be able to come back in three or two days." ”
That night, Gu Zuo stayed in the villa, although the original Taoist chief was not there, the master was very enthusiastic, and called a group of stewards in the villa over to accompany Gu Zuo to drink.
Gu Zuo's qi suddenly felt a bunch of true qi piercing into the sea, these dozen or so turned out to be all monks, no wonder the original Taoist said on the road that day that he had a lot of people under him, and there were not enough magic weapons.
