Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Pharmacist

Liu Hao saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he said to the old man: "Grandpa, let this brother come to our house to take shelter from the rain!"

The old man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our house is in front, Engong should come with us!"

Luo Yan thought about it, he didn't have any good places to go now, and he could also inquire about the situation here by the way when he went to his house, so he took the bamboo basket and followed them.

As he walked, he observed the situation around him, and found that the people here seemed to be good at alchemy, and there were rudimentary Dan furnaces everywhere.

After walking for a while, they saw three caves under a stone wall from a distance, and the old man led them to one of them.

This cave is relatively simple, and there is a pile of charcoal fire in it, and the old man motioned for the two of them to change their clothes and bake them.

After Luo Yan changed his clothes, he sat by the fire and chatted with the two of them.

It turned out that the old man was an alchemist, named Liu Qingxuan, who could practice first-grade pills and second-grade pills, and every year he took the pills he refined to the market, sold them to the pharmacists who came to buy them, and then went to buy his own necessities.

Liu Hao watched his grandfather work hard, and only secretly ran out to the mountain to collect medicine today.

I heard Liu Qingxuan say that most of the people on Henggu Island make a living by refining medicine, and there are many alchemists like him on the island, and there are also many first-class Danfang markets for sale, which is no secret here.

The next day, after the rain passed, Grandpa Liu Hao started alchemy in a stone room next to him.

The old man saw that Luo Yan knew Ling Cao very well, not only was he a little impressed, but he was also happy to help him.

Who wouldn't want to use volunteers who don't need to be paid?

Liu Qingxuan's furnace of elixir was refined very smoothly, and fifteen first-grade pills were prescribed seven days later.

He was very happy, and after a day of rest, he began to refine the second furnace again, this time he asked Liu Hao to practice, and directly asked Luo Yan to be his assistant, Luo Yan naturally would not refuse.

Although Tianlingmen also refines medicine, but he was dedicated to cultivation at that time, and he didn't really learn how to alchemy, so he was full of theories, and now that he has the opportunity, he can just follow the old man to learn the precautions.

During the refining process, he carefully paid attention to every step of Liu Qingxuan.

In this way, the old man refined eight furnaces of first-grade pills in a row, and a total of one hundred pills were prescribed, just enough to fill one bottle.

Holding the pill, Grandpa Liu Hao smiled, and pulled Luo Yan to drink a few cups of home-brewed rice wine.

The next day, he cleaned up the stone chamber and prepared to start refining the second-grade pill, but unfortunately, when the furnace was opened half a month later, a few burnt pills were poured out.

Liu Qingxuan was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Refining this second-level elixir, I only have half of the success rate, and I don't want to be embarrassed by the first furnace this time." ”

Luo Yan also smiled and said: "Otherwise, let's try again, do you see if you can replace the auxiliary material Tianxing Grass with Chiba Grass, they have the same medicinal effect, Tianxing Herb is explosive, and it is demanding on the control of the fire, and the Chiba herb is mild, and the fire Hou is easier to control." ”

Grandpa Liu Hao was right to think about it, so he adopted his suggestion.

Another half a month passed, and Liu Qingxuan prescribed a furnace of second-grade pills, with eleven pills. Extremely excited, he barely rested, and refined another furnace, and after opening the furnace, it was twelve grains.

The old man felt that the improved Dan Fang was really good, and he was excited to refine nine furnaces in a row, and all of them were successful, and then the second-level Dan was also filled with a bottle.

Now count the days, and the pharmacists who buy the pills are coming soon.

On this day, after Liu Qingxuan prescribed another furnace of second-grade elixir, he suddenly asked Luo Yan: "You are not from Henggu Island, are you?"

Luo Yan replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from your predecessors, I am a casual cultivator who has traveled abroad, and I am here to prepare to return to the Zhongming Continent by the way." ”

The old man looked at Luo Yan and was silent for a moment before saying, "There is only one way to leave Henggu Island, and that is to take the flying boat of the medicine merchants, but you need to pay an expensive fee. ”

Knowing that there was a way to leave, Luo Yan also seemed very happy, and he inquired in detail about the situation of the pharmacist.

Liu Qingxuan didn't hide it, and told him everything he knew.

Liu Hao heard that Luo Yan was leaving, and he was a little reluctant, in the past half a year, under Luo Yan's guidance, his cultivation had been promoted to the second level of qi training.

Luo Yan comforted him for a while, took out the ground-level long sword he got in Lost Soul City, gave it to him, and then began to help the old man refine the elixir.

After another half a month, the medicine merchant they had been waiting for finally arrived, and the island's bazaar was opened.

Liu Qingxuan packed up his belongings, arranged for Liu Hao to look after the house, and rushed down the mountain with Luo Yan.

Along the way, Luo Yan saw many people rushing to the market with their belongings, most of them were in the foundation building period, and occasionally he could see a monk in the Yudan period, all of whom were surrounded by people like stars holding the moon.

The market was spread out on both sides of a wide road, and Liu Qingxuan also squeezed into the crowd, chose a fairly smooth place, and put down his backpack.

After a while, several people in brocade robes came over, and the old man handed over the bottle containing the elixir.

After the other party inspected, the purchase price was quoted, one bottle of first-grade pills was ten spirit stones, and one bottle of second-grade pills was twenty spirit stones.

Grandpa Liu Hao happily took out all the pills in his backpack and sold them to these people.

Luo Yan looked at the people next to him, and the transaction price of some pills was lower than this.

He was a little speechless, if these pills were placed in the Thundering Continent, one first-level pill would be a spirit stone, and a second-level pill would cost at least ten spirit stones, and it was still priceless, and there was no market for it, and it could be bought for twenty spirit stones here, it was really a huge profit!

The old man didn't know what was going on in his mind, but told him that if he wanted to take the flying boat, he had to follow the road all the way to the end and try his luck in the red courtyard.

Luo Yan thanked the old man and got up to say goodbye.

Before he left, Liu Qingxuan whispered again: "In the past, there were also people who followed these outsiders to leave, but after that, there was no news, if you are willing to stay, the simple stone mansion on the mountain can barely live in people." ”

Luo Yan thanked the old man again for his kindness and walked towards the end of the road.

At about a cup of tea, he saw from a distance that there was a tall red building on the side of the road, a bit like a Taoist temple, with the vermilion gate open, and people coming and going, many of them wearing the same brocade robes as the people who bought medicinal herbs.

Luo Yan followed the flow of people and walked in, and was soon stopped by a young monk in a brocade robe.

The other party said expressionlessly: "Those who sell medicine, go to the market outside." ”

Luo Yan clenched his fists and said, "I didn't come here to sell medicine, but I heard that your chamber of commerce has a ferry ticket for sale, so I want to come and buy one." ”

When the young man heard this, he looked at him and led him to a side hall, where an old man in a brocade robe received him.
