Godly Immortality: Start with the Butcher and add some Immortality!
Chapter 565: Hard to accept!
Chapter 565: Hard to accept!
Wei Hong walked around the rows of stalls, enjoying the sights so much.
After a while, he suddenly stopped in front of a stall selling magical flowers, herbs and various materials.
Two customers had just left this stall, so it wasn't too crowded at this moment.
Wei Hong walked over and looked around, then pointed at a small, crystal-clear flower with a hint of blue placed in a jade box and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how much is this blue flower?"
The reason why he could recognize this spiritual flower at a glance was because he had mentioned it before when he was discussing alchemy with Ding Xue, and one of the pill recipes that Ding Xue exchanged with him required the use of blue Ying flower as the main ingredient, so Wei Hong planned to ask about the price.
The stall owner was a handsome monk who looked to be about 30 years old. He was handsome and had a kind smile on his face. When Wei Hong asked, he immediately smiled and replied, "Hello, fellow Taoist. This blue flower costs sixty spirit stones."
"Sixty spiritual stones?"
Wei Hong frowned slightly when he heard this.
This price is not cheap, and is even a bit expensive.
You know, refining an elixir requires at least six or seven kinds of materials, and sometimes more than ten or even dozens of kinds. Moreover, no alchemist can guarantee that the elixir he refines will be successful in one go, so refining an elixir involves considerable risks.
And this single blue flower costs sixty spirit stones. If he wants to refine the Yuhuang Pill in his hand, he will need at least one or two hundred spirit stones just to buy the materials. If the whole furnace is wasted, it would be like wasting one or two hundred spirit stones.
This is actually the reason why alchemists are rare, because the initial investment is too huge. Just practicing requires consuming a huge amount of spirit stones and resources, and it is not necessarily possible to improve the level of alchemy. Therefore, without the support of strong forces, it is very difficult to become a high-level alchemist.
Of course, among the vast number of independent cultivators, there may be many Qi training cultivators who can become first-level middle and lower-grade alchemists with their talent and hard work, but there are very few who can become first-level upper-grade alchemists or above. Wei Hong only knows Ding Xue.
Therefore, the price of this blue flower was still a little difficult for Wei Hong to accept.
The handsome young monk seemed to see Wei Hong's hesitation, so he smiled and said, "If you really want it, you can take it away for 56 spirit stones!"
This person reduced the price by four spirit stones right after he opened his mouth, which surprised Wei Hong.
He looked up at the stall owner and said calmly, "No hurry, I'll take a look."
At this time, he picked up a piece of silvery monster fur and asked, "What kind of monster fur is this? How much is it for?"
"Fellow Daoist, you have good taste!" The handsome stall owner smiled and replied, "This is the fur of a first-grade, top-grade silver fox. I sell it for eighty spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
According to the previous prices in the Qingyun Mountain Market, a first-grade high-quality monster skin usually costs about fifty spirit stones, and the premium would not exceed 10%. However, the silver fox skin in front of him costs eighty spirit stones, which is more than half more expensive than the monster skin in the Qingyun Mountain Market.
"No wonder the talismans here are so expensive, it turns out the raw materials are more expensive!"
Wei Hong understood and figured out the key immediately.
He then asked about the prices of several other materials and concluded that they were not much different.
At this time, the handsome young stall owner suddenly smiled and asked: "This Taoist friend should have just arrived in the Immortal City not long ago, right?" "To be honest with you, Taoist friend, I am indeed a newcomer. I hope you will forgive me for any trouble I have caused you."
Wei Hong admitted it with a smile.
Because he knew very well that his behavior of wandering around and asking but not buying anything could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye that he was not familiar with the situation in this city. Such a person must have just arrived in the Cangshan Fairy City not long ago. Therefore, he could not hide it even if he wanted to, so Wei Hong simply admitted it openly.
Unexpectedly, the young stall owner waved his hands and laughed cheerfully: "Haha, why bother you? It's an honor for me that you patronize my stall. By the way, my name is Yang Huan, what's your name?"
"So it's Brother Yang, I'm Wei Hong!"
Wei Hong hurriedly introduced himself, using his real name.
He thought that no one here knew who he was except Ding Xue, so it didn't matter what identity he used.
He was naturally more than happy to see Yang Huan interested in chatting with him. This was a good opportunity for him to learn more about the Fairy City from Yang Huan, which was one of his purposes.
Yang Huan was quite enthusiastic. He asked, "Are you an alchemist? I noticed that the first thing you asked about was this blue flower."
"I guess so!" Wei Hong nodded, and then replied: "It's just that I can refine a few middle and low-grade elixirs, which is not worth mentioning."
"Haha, this is already pretty good. Fellow Daoist, please don't underestimate yourself!" Yang Huan laughed.
Since this is the case, Wei Hong immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang, I am new here and don't know much about this city. If I want a job, could you give me some pointers?"
"Fellow Daoist Wei's idea is not surprising. In fact, it is also the idea of most casual cultivators who have just arrived in Cangshan Immortal City. After all, it is not easy to live in an immortal city. Without some income, how can you support yourself and maintain your cultivation, right?"
Yang Huan expressed his understanding, and then asked: "It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to find a job that suits you and pays well in Cangshan Immortal City. Fellow Daoist Wei, do you want to find a job refining pills?"
Wei Hong was moved when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Of course I can make the elixir."
Yang Huan's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he introduced: "Since Fellow Daoist Wei wants to find a job refining pills, I suggest that you go to the alchemy workshop to ask, or some large chambers of commerce and alchemy shops, etc. These places may recruit alchemists, but the treatment may be different."
Obviously, if one wants to find a job refining medicine, the several ways just introduced by Yang Huan should be the most common and the most popular ones.
After hearing this, Wei Hong fell into deep thought.
Yang Huan saw that Wei Hong didn't seem to like the above places, so he smiled and said, "Of course, if Fellow Daoist Wei is very confident in his alchemy skills, you can also try to make the elixir yourself. In this way, you don't have to look at other people's faces, but you need to invest a little more money."
"Make elixirs yourself?"
Wei Hong's eyes lit up at first, but then he frowned slightly.
He had thought about this idea before, but he did not make a rash decision before understanding the market conditions and the various situations in the Immortal City.
Hearing Yang Huan's suggestion, his mind suddenly became active again.
