Su Chen bought the alchemy jade slip, as well as three low-level alchemy prescriptions, and went to the night market to find a few seeds of spiritual herbs such as Linglu grass, Lingzhi grass, and Qingfeng Lingcao, and went back to try planting.

The only thing missing now is that alchemy needs an alchemy workshop, with an alchemy furnace and an open space so as not to be disturbed.

Su Chen planned to find a place where he could refine the pill in Chaoge Immortal City.

He found Old Master Lu, who was familiar with Chaoge Immortal City and had many ways.

Old Master Lu was taken aback when he heard that Su Chen wanted to learn alchemy, and he was very surprised.

"In the alchemy industry, the threshold is extremely high. Chaoge Immortal City is known as the Eight Hundred Immortal Cultivation Families, but only the ten major families and dozens of wealthy families can really cultivate alchemists and alchemists, and they can do it.

Each furnace of elixir consumes dozens or even hundreds of elixirs of spirit stones. Refining and scrapping a furnace of elixir directly caused a loss, and ordinary monks couldn't withstand such losses at all.

Those small cultivator families have a thin financial foundation and too high a risk, and most of them dare not touch this industry. Usually run a Lingtian farm, plant some spiritual valleys, and accumulate financial resources. As for casual cultivation, not to mention, all the savings put into it are not enough to fill this hole.

Brother Su, you used to be a rice seller, didn't your business be very good, and you also earned a lot of spirit stones!"

Old Master Lu hurriedly persuaded.

"Master, I just want to learn it, and I won't go to alchemy at will. ”

Su Chen said with a smile.

Of course, he knew that the risk of alchemy was high, and spending money was like running water, which was far higher than the risk of farming in Lingtian.

It's just that he doesn't want to be a rice dealer who pounds the Spirit Valley for the rest of his life and earns a spirit stone for one or two grains.

He has a spiritual mountain and grows his own herbs. With this condition, you must always learn a more advanced craft. Not to mention whether the marrow cleansing pill can be refined, even if it can't be refined, it is very cost-effective to learn an alchemy technique.

"If you just want to be an alchemy apprentice in the alchemy workshop, help the alchemy craftsmen, and earn some spirit stones every month. As long as you don't make your own alchemy, there is not much risk.

In this way, I know an old friend who is from the Xiao Xiuxian family. He opened a small alchemy workshop. I'll show you!"

Old Master Lu thought that Su Chen just wanted to learn the craft of making money, not alchemy. He thought about it for a moment, and thought of a way.

The immortal cultivators and wealthy families also have large alchemy workshops, but they only recruit people from within the family and do not accept apprentices from outsiders.

Only a small alchemy workshop, occasionally short of manpower, will recruit a few apprentices who are currently doing miscellaneous work.

Lu Fuzi and Su Chen were coming to a small alley in Chaoge Immortal City.

In the alley where you can see blue brick glazed tile houses everywhere, there is a small alchemy workshop, but it has been suspended.

However, I saw that a middle-aged owner of this alchemy workshop was full of sadness, dismissed several apprentices and handymen, and closed the alchemy workshop.

Anyone who looks at it will know that this small alchemy workshop can't survive, and it is bankrupt.

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you..."

Lu Fuzi was surprised.

He knew that this owner of Li Fang had apprenticed to an old alchemist in his early years, and after ten years of study, he was ready to build an alchemy workshop on his own and enter the alchemy industry.

This small alchemy workshop has only been open for half a year, but it is closed down and cannot be operated.

"Alas, Brother Lu, I still haven't learned this alchemy. I really can't run a business, so I'm going to close it and rent out the workshop. Switch to a small business.

I knew that I should have listened to your advice ten years ago and not learn any alchemy. Now the family's savings are empty, and there are only a dozen acres of thin spiritual land left, which can barely support one or two, so as not to run out of food. ”

The Li alchemy craftsman with a sad look couldn't help but sigh when he saw Old Master Lu.

He is the head of this little immortal cultivation family.

Their family has cultivated immortals for three generations and has accumulated some capital. For the long-term consideration of the family, he learned alchemy, and planned to fight for the future.

He was too confident, and he had achieved a little success in alchemy, so he opened an alchemy workshop, wanting to lead him, a small immortal cultivator, to a more prosperous and powerful plan.

opened this small alchemy workshop and invested one or two thousand spirit stones. In the past six months, the losses have been serious, and the Cheng Dan rate is too low, and if you invest 1,000 and lose 500, you can't earn back your capital at all.

"Brother Li, accumulate more spirit stones, and come back in a few years! ”

Lu Fuzi couldn't help sighing and comforting a few words.

Chaoge Immortal City is known as having eight hundred immortal cultivation families. In order to achieve the condition of 'Immortal Cultivator Family', Immortal Cultivators must be born within three generations. If the generation is broken, they will be deprived of the title of the Immortal Cultivation Family.

The Little Cultivator Immortal Family, in fact, is in a slightly better situation than those scattered cultivators.

But as long as there are children of a loser in a generation, or if there is a slight carelessness in management, it will decline, and the family will easily disintegrate.

Every year, there are dozens of more than ten small immortal cultivation families, and they withdraw from the ranks of the eight hundred immortal cultivation families.

Of course, there are also new immortal cultivation families emerging and entering the ranks of the eight hundred families of Chaoge.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel deep sympathy.

He looked at this small alchemy workshop, although the courtyard was small, but it was a quiet detached house.

Alchemy furnaces, firewood rooms, wells and other facilities are readily available.

In this courtyard, there is also a miniature "partition" formation, which can shield the breath of the inner and outer worlds. In case of being spied on, and disturbed by the gods of the outside world.

Moreover, this place is in Chaoge City, which is much safer than outside the city, and it is not easy to be disturbed and have accidents when alchemy.

"Master Li, how much is the rent of your alchemy workshop?"

Su Chen couldn't help asking.

"One spirit stone a day, thirty a month, is not expensive. Although this workshop is small, it is quite suitable to be used as a warehouse. ”

Li Fang Master glanced at Su Chen, he was a newcomer to the school.

Of course, he didn't think that Su Chen wanted to do alchemy, but only that Su Chen wanted to rent this place, do business, and hoard goods. On this day, the price of a spirit stone is equivalent to the price of renting an inn in Chaoge Immortal City.

He rented out the alchemy workshop, and he could get back thirty spirit stones in a month, and he could also make up for his family.

"Success, then rent this workshop!"

Su Chen said immediately.

He paid the rent, and the owner of the Li workshop gave the key to the gate, and saw that the workshop was rented to Su Chen.

"Brother Su, the matter is done. If there is anything you need help with, brother, I'll go and get busy first. ”

Old Master Lu didn't think much about it, and left.

This alchemy workshop has closed down, and Su Chen will definitely not be able to learn any alchemy. There's nothing wrong with renting a warehouse, doing business, and the like.

He also knew that Su Chen's business in Linggu had been doing well for most of the past six months, and his family could eat Linggu almost every day, and even made some spiritual herbs for sale.

...

Su Chen rented this small alchemy workshop and closed the door so as not to be disturbed by outsiders. The miniature formation that shields the outside world from prying eyes only needs to put a spirit stone on the formation disk to activate.

He took out a soldier bean and sprinkled it into a soldier.

"Poof~!"

Conjure up a white lotus wrestler, clean up the small courtyard, chop wood, light a fire, clean up slag, carry water, and do all kinds of handyman work.

Alchemy requires charcoal burning, and it requires a lot of low-grade spiritual wood.

Wu Qiaofu often cut spiritual wood in the deep mountains, and then sent the spiritual wood to Chaoge Immortal City and sold it to various workshops. But he didn't come to Chaoge for a long time, and he lacked old customers. He is not good at words, and every time he sells spirit wood, he has a headache.

Su Chen directly bought the charcoal spirit wood cut by Wu Qiaofu.

Wu Qiaofu no longer had to worry about selling spirit wood, so he cut down the spirit wood and sent it to this alchemy workshop.

Su Chen has White Lotus Lux to do chores, and he doesn't need to do small things by himself.

He only needed to concentrate on the heat, open the furnace wholeheartedly, and refine the elixir.

Start with the lowest first-order lower grade "Linglu Dan".

If you want to study alchemy, you must naturally have a batch of elixirs in your hand first.

Like the market price of Linglu Grass, it requires three spirit stones per plant. If you grow Linglu grass by yourself, the cost is very low, and one spirit stone is enough.

Refining into the lowest level of the first-order spirit pill such as the "Spirit Lu Pill" is also used by immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period to cultivate the spirit pill, and it is sold for ten spirit stones at a market price.

Linglu grass is grown by Su Chen himself, and the cost is extremely low. After refining a furnace and losing a few spirit stones, I don't feel distressed. And only one furnace in ten furnaces can earn back the capital.

Replaced by other alchemists, with such a low rate of becoming a pill, he would have vomited blood a long time ago, and he didn't dare to do it.

Because of the low cost, Su Chen could withstand an alchemy failure rate of more than three times.

With his rich experience in alchemy, his alchemy skills slowly improved, and he gradually refined more and more genuine elixirs, even if it was only a twenty percent success rate, he could earn up to double the profit.

This huge cost advantage is beyond the reach of other alchemists.

...

Fang Owner Li rented this alchemy workshop to Su Chen, thinking that Su Chen was just using it to stock up on goods, so he rarely asked.

Occasionally, he passed by this alchemy workshop, but from outside the courtyard, he unexpectedly found that fireworks had risen from the Dan furnace in the small courtyard, and the fire flickered, as if the furnace was open.

A small isolation formation was opened in the alchemy workshop, and it was impossible to use divine thoughts to probe the situation. I saw the fire, but I couldn't see more.

"This kid, can't he be alchemy, right?"

Li Fangzhu looked at it a few times and was taken aback.

Soon, he showed a deep look of sympathy and pity.

In these years, newcomers are scattered, but they really don't know how thick the sky is!

His little immortal cultivator family, many years of alchemy apprentices, have lost a mess, the alchemy workshop has decayed, and there is almost no capital to turn over.

Su Chen, such a newcomer to the loose cultivator, even dared to touch alchemy!

I'm afraid that if I rent it for a month or two, I will have to get out of the way.

However, Fang Owner Li will not say anything.

Anyway, it's also a rent of thirty spirit stones a month.

This small alchemy workshop is difficult to rent out, and those families and powerful families have long had their own large-scale alchemy workshops. Other small Xiuxian families may not be willing to rent his workshop, so they can only live out as a warehouse.

"Newcomers don't suffer if they don't suffer, they don't know the difficulty of alchemy!"

Fang Master Li shook his head and left.

In this flash, more than half a year has passed.

He came once a month to ask Su Chen to collect rent.

Su Chen's face was indeed gray, but at that time, the dust from the alchemy and charcoal burning, and even the fryer, made charcoal ash all over his body.

Fang Master Li was puzzled, he had waited for so long, but he never saw Su Chen's dusty face and leave, what was Su Chen tinkering with.
