Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 228 Looking for Alchemist
Every now and then, Yu Xian deeply feels the difficulty of starting a business, and feels more and more the importance of talents.

If he had a team of alchemists under his control and had such a large amount of funds, even if he was serious about doing pill business, he might be able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.

Too bad he didn't.

If you don't have enough output, you can only find OEM.

Yu Xian found a long-term partner—Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

He has been able to refine so many Five Elements Yuan Pills in these years, and the hunting efficiency of the Datong Association alone is naturally far from enough.

Then only buy from the market.

And there is only one channel on the market that can stably provide high-level demon pills, and that is the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Only the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and other giant forces that span multiple domains can provide a large number of high-level demon pills.

High-level demon pills can not only be used to refine heretic golden pills, but also to refine some spiritual pills that assist golden pill monks in their cultivation.

After all, Luo Han, a quasi-third-level alchemist, could use the second-level demon alchemy to make alchemy, so there is no reason why other people can't do it.

Therefore, the demand for high-level demon pills in the market has always been very strong.

As far as Yu Xian knows, Wangshu Fucheng alone used to consume more than a dozen third-tier demon pills every year, and it has steadily increased in recent years because of him.

And these demon pills must not all be collected from Jinpeng's demon veins, it can even be said to be very few.

Otherwise, according to this consumption rate, Jinpeng Yaohuang would have become a bare-bones commander long ago, and he would not have called on Mingyue Tiancheng to ask for an explanation for the disappearance of less than twenty demon kings.

Moreover, the relationship between the Qinghuang Yaozun to which the Jinpeng demon vein belongs and the Nine Suns Immortal Sect is quite good.

Therefore, this part of the Wanyao Mountain Range guarded by the Qinghuang Yaozun is also known as the Qinghuang Yaoyu, and the intensity of the war between the two races is not too high.

It's just that due to a certain agreement, a beast horde must be launched every once in a while, but when everyone finishes their work, what should they do?

But this is not the case for some other large domains.

In some large domains, the war between human monks and monster races has been in a state of intense heat all year round.

Both sides are regarded as mortal enemies, and there is no need to launch any beast tide. Almost every moment, there are Jindan real people from the human race and demon kings from the monster race who fall in the war.

There are more demon kings who have fallen, so naturally there will be more demon pills.

This is the meaning of the existence of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, to sell low-priced goods at high prices to those who need them more.

For other monks, even with the strength of Nascent Soul, they would not be able to do such a cross-domain business.

……

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is a giant that spans multiple domains, but its branch in Fucheng is just a small shop on the second floor.

The goods displayed in the store are extremely scarce, and there are not many people outside, so it looks quite deserted.

But only those who are knowledgeable know that the annual turnover of such a small shop is hardly lower than tens of millions of Lingshi.

Yu Xian was welcomed into the VIP room as the president of the Datong Association, and was personally received by the head of the chamber of commerce branch.

Even though he killed Lin Zhanlong, the four-way walking Lin Zhanlong of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce when he was in Shangyang City, but the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce didn't know - the blood curse on his body had disappeared, so he pretended nothing happened.

So the two sides have been working together happily.

"President Bai, you've heard about the great name for a long time, and when I saw you today, you really have an extraordinary temperament. I don't know if your Excellency is here, what advice can you give?"

The branch manager of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is an old man with white hair and a childlike face. His name is Yan Lai. He has a golden core cultivation base, his eyes are clear, and his whole body exudes a calm and peaceful temperament.

In layman's terms, it is the temperament of salted fish.

As the branch manager of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to worry about poor business.

There is no way, the supply channels are too powerful and high-end, and it has almost become an exclusive business.

He has always been begged for his share by others, and not when he begged for others—except when the turnover is too low.

As a commercial organization, it is waste if it cannot make money for the organization.

Therefore, he still gave enough respect to Yu Xian, a big customer who frequently ordered millions of orders.

Yu Xian smiled lightly: "Director Yan, I'm here to send you a big order. I want to order twenty golden pills from heretics."

A heretic Golden Elixir has 200 million spirit stones, and 4000 are only [-] million. The spirit stones in his hand are more than enough.

What's more, the Datong Association is receiving money every day, but the expenditure is only about one-tenth of the daily income.

"This?"

Yan Lai was a little embarrassed.

When Yu Xian saw this, he thought it was an embarrassment because he couldn't get the goods out, so he said very reasonablely:
"Director Yan, I can pay a deposit first, and settle the final payment with you after the goods arrive."

Yan Lai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "President Bai, you are embarrassing this old man, if you want twenty third-order demon pills, it won't take long before this old man can get them from the branch headquarters for you.

But if you want the golden elixir of heretics, you don't know when it will be. "

Yu Xian wondered, "What's the difference between the two?"

Yan Lai pondered for a moment, then said: "Miss Zhao has also bought a lot of demon pills from this old man over the years, so it is inconvenient for me to say anything about the guests, but President Bai and Miss Zhao are a family, so I'll let you know by the way.

The old man boldly speculates that Chairman Bai should also be able to refine heretic golden pills, right? "

"good."

Yu Xian nodded lightly.

Others can play haha ​​to fool the past, but in the face of suppliers of raw materials, this kind of thing can't be concealed at all.

Yan Lai nodded, looking as expected.

"Since Guild President Bai can also refine the outsider golden elixir, you should know that the refining cost of the outsider alchemy is quite high. The raw materials alone require millions of spiritual stones, plus the labor cost of the alchemist, the transportation cost of the chamber of commerce, the storage cost of the warehouse, and so on.

According to the current market price, even if a heretic golden elixir is successfully sold, it will only make a profit of [-]% or even lose money.

The reason why Wanbao Chamber of Commerce sells heretical golden pills is only for the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce and to attract some popularity.

In fact, there is no money to be made on the golden elixir of heretics.

Therefore, in normal times, we will not sell outsider golden elixir.

What's more, President Bai requires such a large amount at one time. Unless he agrees to increase the price, the chamber of commerce will definitely not be able to transfer the shipment. "

Yu Xian: "..."

Retail is the market price, and the price will be increased for large orders. This is the first time he has heard of such a business.

But after hearing Yan Lai's explanation, he woke up with a start.

I have always calculated the five element elixir according to the cost price of raw materials, and I have always been a prostitute in terms of manpower, but in fact, refining heretic elixir is a thankless task for everyone except those monks who are in urgent need.

"Then why not raise the price?"

Yu Xian asked.

Yan Lai glanced at Yu Xian, and said: "The raw material cost of the outsider alchemy is quite high, but the difficulty of refining is lower than that of ordinary third-level alchemists, even quasi-third-level alchemists can get started.

The price is a bit higher, so people naturally go to the alchemist to help refine it, instead of coming to our chamber of commerce to buy the finished product.

In addition, this alchemy is basically tasteless, monks who can form alchemy don't need it, and monks who can't form alchemy don't have that spirit stone.

Even if we raise the price, few people will buy it.

In fact, the old man has always been very curious about the fact that President Bai spent a lot of money just to help a group of hopeless old monks break through the realm of fake pills. "

Yu Xian said with a serious face: "The beast horde has struck, and many monks and people have been displaced. I help those old monks in order to be able to contribute to the troubled times.

They received my favor and joined Palace Master Chu's demon-eliminating army. I believe that Wangshu Mansion will be the first to eliminate the demon disaster in a short time. "

Yan Lai didn't believe it was just for this reason, not to mention that when Miss Zhao bought the demon pill from him, the beast horde hadn't come yet.

But it's inconvenient for him to ask more about the privacy of the guests, and it's already a bit of bad manners to mention it just now.

He thought for a while, then suddenly said:
"If President Bai really needs a lot of heretic golden elixir for this reason, I can introduce someone to you."

Yu Xian didn't take it seriously, but he wouldn't return his kindness either.

"I would also like Director Yan to introduce one or two."

"The man's name is Qiu En, and he is an old alchemist who lives in seclusion here. If he hadn't come to the chamber of commerce to ask for medicine, this old man would never have known him..."

Yan Lai took out a piece of jade slip, attached it with his consciousness, and recorded a message.

"This is a letter of introduction written by the old man for President Bai. President Bai can just show it when he sees someone."

Yu Xian took the jade slips, penetrated with his spiritual sense, and had a clear view of the information.

"There are such strange people in Fucheng?"

He put away the jade slips and bowed to Yanlai.

"If you can get help from this person, Bai owes the old gentleman a favor."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Yan Lai caressed his beard and smiled, watched Yu Xian leave, and by the way accepted the large order of fifty demon pills that Yu Xian had placed on the spot.

On the Heretic Golden Core, the Chamber of Commerce can't make much money, but on the Demon Core, they can earn a lot.

With just this one order, save some money, and the next two years' turnover will be considered complete.

This is also the reason why he took the initiative to make friends with Yu Xian.

After all, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has branches in every prefecture.

If he is not happy with Yu Xian, he will be patted on his ass, and he will travel a thousand miles, and the result will be the same if he buys it at a branch elsewhere.

……

There are always some good people in this world who have no interests involved, but simply want to do their part to help others.

And Qiu En introduced by Director Yan is such a person.

No one knows his origin, other people only know that he is a doctor with a strange temper. If he is pleasing to the eye, he will help treat him without giving money, and if he is not pleasing to the eye, he will not kill him.

There are eight hundred people who have been rescued by him, if not one thousand.

But because of his strange temper, he often lost money for medical treatment, and the family was never rich.

In Director Yan's introduction, on the bright side, Qiu En is a medical practitioner who knows the art of Qihuang, and his cultivation base is neither high nor low, and he is in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

In fact, he is a third-rank alchemist who hides his secrets. Since his cultivation is only at the foundation establishment level, he has never dared to expose it.

His clinic can be maintained until now, all thanks to his secret alchemy subsidy.

Director Yan was able to know this because Qiu En did not hesitate to expose his true identity in order to ask for medicine to win his trust.

Obviously, he overestimated the integrity of a businessman.

In the face of considerable benefits, it was still sold lightly.

clang clang! !
Yu Xian stood in front of a small courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, and knocked on the door.

It can be seen that being poor is really poor, and a basic defensive circle was set up in the entire courtyard, which is powerful enough to block even a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and it is more used as a warning.

"Who?"

A plain-faced girl in plain clothes opened the courtyard door.

Standing at the door, Yu Xian handed the jade slip given by Director Yan to the girl.

"You are Dr. Qiu's adopted daughter Yourong, right? I'm here to find Dr. Qiu, please give him this jade slip, he will know right away."

Yu Xian already knew the girl's identity from Director Yan's introduction.

Qiu Yourong, Qiu En's adopted daughter, was another person involved in Qiu En's begging for medicine to save his life.

The girl saw Yu Xian's noble temperament that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, as well as his "ordinary" face, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and took the jade slip in a panic.

"You... you wait a minute."

Soon.

An old man with disheveled hair and unkempt appearance grabbed the jade slip and walked out with a determined expression. It was Qiu En.

"You come in with me."

"You Rong, you stay outside, I have something to talk to him about."

The bad old man walked into the room on his own without taking a second look at Yu Xian.

"Close the door."

The bad old man's attitude is quite tough.

As soon as Yu Xian thought about it, the door closed, and he stood at the door, the light dimmed, like a ruthless demon king.

"What should come will always come."

The bad old man sighed, looked at Yu Xian and said:

"No matter what you want me to do, you must not hurt You Rong, otherwise I would rather die with You Rong."

Yu Xian: "..."

He was stunned for a while before he asked, "Doctor Qiu, have you made a mistake? I was introduced by Director Yan, and my purpose must have been clearly stated in the jade slip."

The bad old man snorted coldly: "The things written in the jade slips are so false, to save the world? Hehe, how can I believe that there are such good people in the world?
Tell me, what is your real purpose?What price did Director Yan sell me for? "

Yu Xian couldn't help laughing.

"In this world, you are allowed to be a good person, and others are not allowed to be good people?"

The bad old man retorted: "Who says I am a good person? I have practiced for nearly a hundred years, but I have never met a good person. There are only fake good people who are incapable of making mistakes in this world."

Yu Xian nodded in agreement and said, "That's true."

"Then let's not talk nonsense, I want you to make alchemy for me, I will provide the materials and the alchemy room, and you are only in charge of alchemy.

I will give you a reward of one hundred thousand spirit stones for each furnace of pills, on the condition that you are not allowed to make useless pills, because you can't afford it. "

The old man's face darkened: "How can there be such an overbearing condition, which alchemist can guarantee [-]% alchemy?"

"Coincidentally, I have two under my command."

Yu Xian thought of Luo Han and Wu Patriarch.

One is feeling sorry for her husband and not daring to take it lightly, the other is purely afraid of death, so she concentrates all her attention and has a stable success rate.

"I can make alchemy for you, and I don't need the spirit stone, but I can only make one batch of alchemy at most. Otherwise, you can kill me."

The bad old man had a big temper, and said with a stiff neck.

Yu Xian laughed: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

The bad old man snorted coldly: "Everyone is mortal, it's just death sooner or later."

"Yourong is young and beautiful, and she hasn't experienced the beauty of life yet. Are you willing to let her die with you?"

Yu Xian was threatening.

The bad old man's voice was decisive: "I saved her life, and I have allowed her to live for ten years. Now even if she dies, it is considered a profit."

Yu Xian tapped his eyebrows depressedly.

"How did things get to this point, forget it, if you don't want to make alchemy for me, I won't force you.

Director Yan, I will also help you talk about Xiang, so that he will not leak your news again. "

Seeing what Qiu En wanted to say, Yu Xian waved his hand to interrupt.

"I have hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every minute, and I don't have the heart to argue with you here. You don't believe my sincerity, and I can't force you to believe it.

And the reason why I am so polite to you is not to be a corporal. To be honest, you don't have the qualifications.

Purely a personal appreciation for you.

Although you say you are not a good person, you are a good person if you do good deeds regardless of your deeds. "

Yu Xian pushed open the door, looked at the girl looking here, nodded to her, and then walked out decisively.

It is naturally impossible for him to give up such a good leek.

It's just that the bad old man's temper is indeed very strange, and the usual methods may not be able to handle it.

His consciousness swept over the girl who was still watching on tiptoe behind him, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

If you really don't care, you won't emphasize it in the first place.

in the courtyard.

Qiu En looked at his adopted daughter suspiciously.

"You Rong, everyone has left, what are you looking at? Did he secretly say something to you just now?

Let me tell you, this kind of person looks polite, but in fact, he doesn't treat people as human beings at all.

When you are useful to him, he will smile at you, and when you are useless, even if you kneel down in front of him, he will not take a second look.

They are cold blooded.

I'm talking to you, do you remember? "

The girl came back to her senses, a little annoyed and said:

"Listen, I keep saying how bad the people outside are, and I haven't seen anyone bullying me? Dad, you just like to think wildly."

But the words that Yu Xian said when he left echoed in her mind.

"Yourong, are you interested in seeing the outside world?"

The words were plain and ordinary, but there was a magical power that lingered in her mind.
