Chapter 339 Pricing of Pills
Chapter 339 Pill Pricing
He Yuanying naturally doesn't need such a copycat version of Danfang, this kind of imitation that does not enter the stream can't get into her eyes, and naturally can't arouse her any interest!
The introduction of the other pills in the shop is quite decent, although he has some exaggerations about the efficacy of the pills, but it is also well-founded, not too outrageous!
As for He Yuanying's several pills that do not have a pill, they are actually the cheapest and weaker economic pills in the same kind of pills, and there is nothing worthy of praise, and the pill classics of the general large sects are not included!
It's just noon, there are no customers in the store, and the shopkeeper is also drowsy.
Now I see a beautiful woman asking for advice from me, and I feel honored for a while, and my eyebrows are dancing with joy!
As soon as He Yuanying saw that the shopkeeper was talking about it, she was still confused during the inspection, so she didn't bother the second master at all, so she simply asked the shopkeeper about some other things!
He Yuanying found in many stores that the price of the same pill was not the same, and there were even several prices for the same pill.
It wasn't until He Yuanying occasionally discovered the Huanglong Pill that she was very familiar with, this kind of pill can be said to be the first pill to be successfully refined with ground fire when she stepped into the Dan Dao during the Qi refining period, and she was very impressed!
Seeing the Huanglong Dan refined by others, she also felt very kind, so she asked the shopkeeper to take two kinds of Huanglong Dan with different prices, and after careful comparison, she found out that there was an abnormality!
It seems that the quality of Huanglongdan is higher at a low price, while the quality is lower at a high price, and this difference is very obvious, which makes He Yuanying quite puzzled!
But the price was clearly marked by the store, and it was placed here, He Yuanying wondered in his heart, could it be that they had another standard for the grade identification of the pill?
Or is that low-quality Huanglong Pill refined with special medicinal materials or methods, and has other effects that are not known to the public?
He Yuanying didn't want to bring up this matter on the spot, so it was easy for the shopkeeper and the owner to misunderstand, but he just asked a few words, this low-quality and high-priced Huanglongdan is not special!
The current shopkeeper, although he is only an immortal cultivator in the late stage of qi refining, has been selling pills in this shop for more than ten years, and he is naturally very clear about the Tao here!
When He Yuanying asked him about the method of quality identification of pills, he said it well, and he also took out a good quality pill as an example and made a demonstration, which was exactly the same as the identification standard that He Yuanying knew!
Because he couldn't figure out the reason, He Yuanying asked directly: "In your stores, the price and quality of some pills do not match, what is the reason?"
Speaking of this problem, the shopkeeper was also full of complaints, because these high-priced and low-quality pills were not the goods they were willing to purchase, they were wholesaled together with other pills when the Shendanmen wholesaled the pills!
As for the price, it has been set by the Shendanmen a long time ago, and the store is not allowed to change it privately, for example, changing the price of the high-quality Huanglongdan to a little higher, or changing the low-quality one to a lower one, all of which challenge the authority of the Shendanmen and will be punished!
Those immortal cultivators who buy pills are not fools, the sales of these inferior and high-priced pills are very bad, and in the end, they have to be sold at a reduced price in disguise!
There is no way for these stores, and they often hold "buy one get one free" activities, and the gift is naturally this high-priced inferior pill!
There is the price of the Shendanmen, but the value of giving it away is very expensive, although the customer may not really get much benefit, but the heart is still very happy!
It turned out that within the scope of the management of the Divine Pill Gate, the price of these pills was uniformly set by the Dan Master Association of the Shen Dan Gate, and the standard of their pricing was not based on the quality of the pill, but according to the level of the alchemist refining the pill!
He Yuanying thought about it, there is really a certain reason for this, the higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the level of alchemy, the better the quality of the pill, and the effect is also very different, the price is a little higher, then it is naturally worth the money!
But since there is a high-level alchemist in the store, and the refined Huanglong Pill is not as good as the low-level, there must be something wrong!
Of course, there are also elixirs that alchemists are good at and are not good at, but the most basic Huanglong Pill is definitely not in this range!
He Yuanying turned to the shopkeeper and carefully inquired about the assessment and certification of the alchemist level, how it was operated!
Speaking of the alchemist level assessment and certification, this shopkeeper was suddenly energetic, because when he had just cultivated to the late stage of qi cultivation, he was also full of confidence, and he wanted to rely on his own efforts to build a successful foundation!
He also has a dream in his heart, that is, after the foundation is successfully built, he can become an alchemist, and when the resources are sufficient, he will find an opportunity to condense the golden pill!
While sparing no effort to obtain the Zhuji Dan, the shopkeeper also studied the knowledge of the pill diligently, and naturally inquired clearly about how to pass the assessment and certification of the alchemist!
But nine times out of ten, there are unsatisfactory people in the world, and the shopkeeper did not get the foundation building pill, because this foundation building period is not something that spirit stones can buy!
Naturally, he didn't succeed in building a foundation, and the divine consciousness of a cultivator in the Qi refining period could not be released, and his dream of becoming a Dan refiner had also come to naught!
But the efforts of the shopkeeper were not in vain, because he had a wealth of knowledge of pills, he found a job selling pills with a high salary and ease!
Remembering that he obtained the position of the shopkeeper with his rich knowledge of pills, he unconsciously straightened up his waist to show that he was also a shopkeeper with a certain technical content, and not everyone could do it!
The shopkeeper sorted out his thoughts for a while and began to tell what he knew about the alchemist assessment and certification!
It turned out that more than two hundred years ago, Ge Hong, the head of the Shendan Sect, advanced to the middle of the Yuan Infant Stage, and became the Great Master of the Dan Dao, naturally he was extremely strong, determined to innovate, and the sect also developed rapidly, and there were many talents in alchemy!
In order to standardize the pill market, several alchemy masters of the Shendanmen united and established the Dan Master Association to assess and certify the level of alchemists, with the original intention of making the Dan Dao develop in a more healthy and orderly manner!
In order to increase the enthusiasm of alchemists to participate in the assessment and certification, the Shendanmen also directly linked the level of the alchemist with the price of the refined pill, the higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the price of refining the same pill, and the more spirit stones you can get!
In order to allow the Dan Master to concentrate on alchemy, the Shen Dan Sect also purchased all kinds of pills refined by the alchemists at the approved price!
Originally, the Shendanmen accounted for seventy percent of the pill market, and in this way, it reached almost ninety percent, almost monopolizing the transaction of the entire pill market!
Those low-level alchemists, seeing that the pills they refined were the same as the same kind of pills refined by high-level alchemists, were almost the same in terms of quality and effect, and some even had better quality and effect, but the difference in price was nearly one percent!
