Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bronze Dragon's Head Furnace
readx; Li Zhe came to the second floor of the herb house under the guidance of the shopkeeper, compared with the simplicity of the first floor, the layout of the second floor can be described as elaborate and elegant. On the second floor www.biquge.info there are no shelves or counters on the second floor, and it is completely a reception room. The room is not big, about ten zhang square, the window is bright and clean, and it is not a problem. The most special thing is that the four walls of the room are painted with exquisite murals, and four pots of flowers and plants of different shapes are placed in the four corners, exuding a faint fragrance and refreshing people's hearts. When Li Zhe smelled it, he immediately felt refreshed and energetic, it was worthy of being a store specializing in pills and medicinal materials, and these four pots of flowers and herbs must also be precious medicinal materials, but Li Zhe didn't know it. In the center of the room is a sophisticated sandalwood table with four chairs next to it. The shopkeeper led Li Zhe to sit down at the table, and a young and beautiful female monk had already served fragrant tea. Such intimate service makes Li Zhe feel very comfortable.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My surname is Tang, and I am the shopkeeper of our store." I don't know what kind of elixir the guest wants to refine when he buys an alchemy furnace?" The shopkeeper Tang asked to understand Li Zhe's alchemy level, and then recommend the corresponding grade of alchemy furnace.
"I am quite interested in alchemy, and I am going to study it hard, so I want to buy an alchemy furnace and try to refine the elixir to see how talented I am in this area. Li Zhe put down the teacup in his hand and replied.
Shopkeeper Tang frowned when he heard this, and asked, "So, the guest officer hasn't refined the pill yet, right?" Li Zhe nodded.
Shopkeeper Tang shook his head secretly in his heart, he had received a few customers like Li Zhe before. Fledgling, I don't know how thick the sky is, I think I can do what I can't, and I daydream all day long to become an alchemy master and earn a lot of spirit stones. Alchemy is broad and profound, how can it be so easy to succeed, the last one is to consume net worth and gain nothing. Some of them were even so poor that they sold the alchemy furnace they bought from him back to him at less than half price.
Knowing that Li Zhe was a complete layman in alchemy, the shopkeeper Tang took out a storage bag and waved it at Li Zhe, and eight alchemy furnaces with different shapes appeared in front of Li Zhe. Staring at the eight alchemy furnaces in front of him, although Li Zhe was a layman in alchemy, he could also intuitively see that the workmanship of these eight alchemy furnaces was very ordinary, and it should not be a good thing, so he turned his inquiring eyes to the shopkeeper.
Seeing Li Zhe looking at him, the shopkeeper Tang immediately began to explain to Li Zhe: "Guest officer, as you can see, these eight alchemy furnaces are just ordinary goods at the level of low-grade magic weapons, with average workmanship and simple materials, and there is no bonus to the success rate of alchemy. The only advantage worth mentioning is that it is practical and cheap. According to the difference in quality, the price of each alchemy furnace ranges from 200 spirit stones to 300 spirit stones. Guest officer, please rest assured, these alchemy furnaces are more than enough to refine the elixir of the spirit cultivation pill. The guest officer should know that alchemy requires the use of flames to refine medicinal materials. Generally speaking, there are three ways to heat the fire: the first is to use the Flame Circle to provide the flame. This heating method has weak firepower, and the operation of the fire array is driven by spirit stones, which is higher than the latter two methods. The advantage is that the flame generated by the fire circle is less powerful, which is easier to control, and is suitable for beginners. The second is to place the alchemy furnace above the underground fire vein and heat it with the fire of the center of the earth. The advantage of this is that there is no cost, but the fire power of the center of the earth is furious, and the output is also unstable, which requires the alchemist's fire control skills to be higher. The third is to use the monk's own fire to heat it. Monks can only produce Dan Fire when they reach the Jindan stage, and it is obvious that only high-level alchemists above the Jindan stage can use this method. The advantage of Danhuo is that it is powerful and easy to control, after all, it is the monk's own origin fire. The disadvantage is that the use of Danhuo alchemy consumes mana, and if refining a high-grade pill that takes a long time, the alchemist may not be able to support it in the end. Each of the three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and alchemists can choose according to their needs. However, these eight alchemy furnaces are only low-grade magic weapons, and they can't resist the high temperature of the earth fire and the Dan fire, and they can only be heated by using the fire separation array, otherwise they will melt themselves, let alone alchemy. Buy any of the eight Dan furnaces, but also buy another piece of fire magic plate, the original price is fifty spirit stones, if you buy it with the alchemy furnace, our store can give a twenty percent discount, forty spirit stones. Lao Yu still recommends that the guest officer buy one of the eight, the guest officer is just used to try his hand, these are enough, and the price is not expensive, in case the guest officer really does not have the talent for alchemy, the loss is not too big. ”
The shopkeeper Tang didn't take out the high-priced alchemy furnace to sell it to Li Zhe, not that the shopkeeper Tang couldn't do business, nor did it mean that the shopkeeper was a good person, no business and no treachery, this is not nonsense. is so polite to Li Zhe, the main reason is that he can't figure out Li Zhe's bottom, they have an ancient tradition in this industry, they can't offend alchemists, and potential alchemists had better not offend. In case Li Zhe can succeed, there will be another good alchemist in the future, and it will not be another channel for purchases, so for those who buy the alchemy furnace, the shopkeeper Tang will be very polite.
Li Zhe thought about the words of the shopkeeper Tang, with his own conditions in all aspects, combined with Cangyan alchemy, it was impossible to fail completely, and the worst result was to refine the elixir without entering the product, so there was no need to consider the loss of the alchemy furnace if it was a complete failure. If you can succeed, you will definitely have to refine a large number of high-grade spirit pills, these low-grade magic weapon alchemy furnaces have limited fire resistance, and they will definitely be damaged if they are used continuously, so you don't need to consider buying them at all.
It's better to buy the best one within your ability, Li Zhe finally decided. Li Zhe made up his mind, shook his head at Shopkeeper Tang, and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Tang, these alchemy furnaces are not to my liking, please take some high-grade alchemy furnaces for me to choose." ”
When the shopkeeper Tang saw that Li Zhe was so strong, he couldn't see through Li Zhe's origin. Regarding Li Zhe's request, the shopkeeper Tang didn't say much, first took back the eight alchemy furnaces outside into the storage bag, took out a storage bag again, and placed the three high-grade alchemy furnaces inside in front of Li Zhe.
These three alchemy furnaces are exquisitely shaped and have a compelling aura, which is not at all comparable to the eight Dalu goods just now. Scanning the three alchemy furnaces, Li Zhe's gaze was gradually attracted by one of them.
This alchemy furnace is half a person tall, the size is moderate, the shape is simple, the ears are three legs, the whole body is glowing with cyan luster, and the fingertips are comfortable to the touch. A mighty dragon is engraved on the furnace body, the dragon body coils around the entire furnace body, and the dragon's head is located on the lid of the alchemy furnace, which is just the handle of the furnace lid. When the lid of the furnace and the body of the furnace are closed, it is combined into a complete dragon, and when you look at it head-on, you can see a pair of dragon eyes facing the dragon, and a wild air rushes towards you.
Seeing that Li Zhe liked this alchemy furnace, the shopkeeper Tang introduced Li Zhe at an untimely time: "The guest officer really has good eyesight, this alchemy furnace of the high-grade magic weapon is the best quality of the three alchemy furnaces, there is a name called 'Bronze Dragon Head Furnace', the materials of this alchemy furnace are very different from the low-grade alchemy furnace just now, and the high-grade bronze refining is selected, which can fully withstand the temperature of the earth fire, but after all, it is not a magic weapon level Dan furnace, and it still can't withstand the high temperature of the Dan fire." Another feature of this alchemy furnace is that it comes with a fire separation array, as long as you put spirit stones here, you can drive the fire separation array to run. This alchemy furnace has excellent sealing, which can completely prevent the leakage of medicinal power, and can also prevent impurities from entering the furnace, which has a great effect on improving the quality of the elixir, and also has a small bonus to the pill formation rate. "Looking along the fingers of the shopkeeper Tang, I found that there was a small hole on each of the three legs of the alchemy furnace.
Li Zhe circled around this bronze dragon head furnace a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he asked the shopkeeper Tang: "How many spirit stones does this bronze dragon head furnace sell?"
Shopkeeper Tang replied without thinking: "One thousand two hundred spirit stones." Li Zhe was silent when he heard Tang's offer.
Tang's shopkeeper's offer did not exceed Li Zhe's psychological price, and Li Zhe had already decided to buy it in his heart. Li Zhe is pretending to be a gesture now, just to put some pressure on the shopkeeper Tang to see if there is a chance to press the price again. Shopkeeper Tang is also an old fox, of course he understands that whoever speaks first now will be in a disadvantageous position, and he is also silent when he looks at Li Zhe.
After a stalemate for a while, how could Li Zhe be the opponent of the treacherous shopkeeper Tang, and finally couldn't hold back at first, and asked: "I don't know if the shopkeeper Tang can cut his love with a thousand spirit stones?"
Shopkeeper Tang had already figured out Li Zhe's hole cards, and said with an indifferent smile: "One thousand two hundred spirit stones, no two prices." ”
Count you ruthless, Li Zhe had to grit his teeth and say: "One thousand two hundred spirit stones will be one thousand two hundred spirit stones, but the shopkeeper Tang wants to give me the elixir recipe and ten furnaces of medicinal materials for refining the elixir." ”
Shopkeeper Tang thought for a while and replied: "I can only give you the most ordinary pill recipe for raising spirit pills, the Cheng Dan rate is only about fifty percent, if you want the secret pill recipe with a Cheng Dan rate of more than sixty percent, you have to add another spirit stone." ”
The lowest-level elixir of the Cultivation Pill has no secrets at all in ordinary pills, and it is basically worthless, while the secret pill recipe adds some personal experience of high-level alchemists, which is more refined and can increase the rate of becoming a pill, and the value is much higher. The so-called furnace of medicinal materials is the materials needed to refine a certain pill once, and it is generally prepared according to the weight of ten pills. The primary elixir of the Spiritual Pill is only five or six lower-grade spirit stones in one furnace. Li Zhe paid back half a sky-high price, and he returned fifty or sixty spirit stones.
Li Zhe replied briskly: "Ordinary Dan Fang is fine, there is no need for secret Dan Fang." "Li Zhe's Cangyan alchemy is essentially different from ordinary alchemy methods, and the Danfang is only used for reference, the difference between the ordinary Danfang and the secret Danfang is not very big for Li Zhe, at most, it is to let him take a little less detours.
Shopkeeper Tang shouted happily: "Deal." Li Zhe took out twelve medium-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper Tang happily ordered his subordinates to prepare medicinal materials and pills. After the two sides completed the settlement, Li Zhe did not stay long after achieving the purpose of this trip, and left Vanilla House directly, preparing to leave Fang City immediately.
