After Zhang Yuqing and Wei Ping left, Liu Yu and shopkeeper Tian came to a wing room and sat down. The maid brought a fragrance of tea. They chatted.
"By the way, you said you were looking for an old man for something? I don't know what it was?" they talked for a while, and the old man asked with a smile.
"That's right! I've got spiritual materials and strange shapes. I've asked many people, but they don't know what it is. I'd like to ask you for help!" Liu Yu put down her tea cup and replied.
"Oh! Please take it out and let me see it!" the old man said curiously.
"That's it." Liu Yu took out the "blood spotted black taro" and handed it to the old man.
The old man carefully looked at the "black pimple" on his hand, gently touched the dark markings on the skin of the "black pimple", and said with a smile: "this thing is called" blood spot black taro ", which grows in a kind of three grade toxic soil called" red spot stinky mud ". It is really very rare. If he hadn't been lucky to have seen it once when he was in Zhongzhou, he would have been really difficult for little friends."
"It's called" blood spot black taro ". I don't know what's the use of it?" Liu Yu asked suddenly.
"This item contains highly toxic. It is said that it is used in some secret recipes. Although it is very rare, it has little medicinal value. If you want to sell it, our shop can buy 2000 low-level spirit stones." the old man said calmly.
"It's novel. I'd like to keep it in my hand. Thank you for your help!" Liu Yu said with a laugh. It seems that what Tian Qi said is true. Liu Yu can't help looking forward to the result of Tian Qi's retreat and "foundation building".
"You're welcome, little friend! This is the rules of our store and what the old man should do." the old man replied politely. Baixinglin has always helped store VIPs identify and identify all kinds of spiritual materials for free.
Liu Yu took a sip of tea and then said, "I have another thing to ask you!"
"What's the matter?" the old man replied directly.
Liu Yu said, "it's said that your shop has always been engaged in" alchemy ". I don't know whether it's true or false?"
"That's right. In addition to helping VIP customers identify and identify medicinal materials for free, we also provide" alchemy "service, but we need to charge a corresponding fee, depending on the specific situation." the old man replied with a smile.
"Can" broken heart pill "be refined?" Liu Yu asked directly. Now the two main drugs "broken empty grass" and "Seven Star Flower" in Liu Yu's hand to refine "broken heart pill" have been collected. How to refine it has become a troublesome problem.
The old man smiled confidently and said, "of course, don't say" broken heart pill ". As long as the guests bring their own spiritual materials, even if the seven elixirs taken during the golden pill period, our store also provides" alchemy "service."
"If you have enough holy materials for alchemy, please ask the" alchemist "in the store to refine a" heart breaking pill ". How many holy stones do you have to pay?" Liu Yu asked hurriedly with a bright eye.
"Xiaoyou should know that" alchemy "has certain risks. Even a high-level alchemist with excellent alchemy techniques can't guarantee 100% of" one furnace of alchemy ", there may be failure." the old man drank a cup of green tea and said slowly.
"These are clear!" Liu Yu frowned and nodded.
The old man continued with a smile: "our" alchemy "therefore launched two kinds of" alchemy "services. One is that the guests bear their own risk and only need to pay a little fee. The other is that our store bears all the risk. Even if the spiritual material" alchemy "provided by the guests fails, our store will supplement the spiritual material and then refine the pill until the" finished product pill "is refined, but the fee..."
"If you want to refine a" heart breaking pill ", how do you charge for the second way of" alchemy "? Liu Yu interrupted the old man and couldn't wait to say.
The old man looked at Liu Yu and said, "ten thousand low-level spirit stones, and another 200000 points need to be consumed in our store."
"If the points are not enough, can you add more spirit stones?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
The old man didn't answer directly, but asked, "as we all know," alchemy "," drawing symbol "and" refining tool "are one and very profound. Among the three skills," alchemy "has the lowest threshold, followed by" drawing symbol ", and" refining tool "is the most difficult to master. But among the three skills," alchemy "is the most difficult to master. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Liu Yu shook her head and replied.
Liu Yu understood what the old man said earlier that the threshold of "alchemy" is indeed the lowest among the three skills. There are almost no skills in the refining methods of some low-level pills. Several kinds of spiritual materials are crushed and put into the "alchemy furnace", the flame is melted into a "mixture", and the finished pills are obtained after cooling and forming.
Some elixirs don't even need to be put into the "alchemy furnace". They can be crushed into powder and mixed in a certain proportion. For example, the golden elixir "Jinyuan powder" or crushed into powder and added with a specific "spiritual liquid" to mix evenly, such as the "clear wood liquid" taken by Liu Yu at the beginning of practicing Qi.
However, Liu Yu could not understand what the old man said later. "Drawing symbols" and "refining tools" not only had certain requirements for cultivation and spiritual knowledge, but also the techniques were obviously more cumbersome, which would be more difficult to master.
The old man smiled and said: "although the process of" alchemy "is not complex, each link needs to be subtle and have rich pharmacological cognition. Moreover, the selection of materials, proportion, technique, heat and other aspects are full of contingency. Each link directly affects the success or failure and quality of" alchemy ", which is better than" drawing symbols "and" refining tools " It needs more practice and practice, and the failure rate is the highest among the three skills. Sometimes it even needs some luck to refine a furnace of good pills. "
"Therefore, the second option provided by our store bears all the risks, especially when refining high-grade elixir. Once it fails, it will bring huge losses to the store. This option is a special benefit for our VIP, and the points are insufficient, so it can not be replaced by Lingshi. I hope Taoist friends can understand."
"Your store is so bold that it deserves to be the first medicine store in Dongyuan. I admire it!" Liu Yu said with an arch hand. Ordinary pharmacies dare not make such promises. "Alchemy" is inherently risky. How can it guarantee 100% success.
But I have to say that this "hundred apricot forest" is really a good means. 200000 points can mean that at least 200000 low-level spirit stones should be consumed in "hundred apricot forest" in advance. The threshold is not low, but it is also very tempting.
The old man asked half jokingly, "why did you suddenly ask these questions? Do you want to refine" heart breaking pill "
Liu Yu gave a careless look and replied, "I'm only practicing Qi for eight levels now. I'm just curious for a moment. You don't need to care."
The old man took a deep look at Liu Yu and said, "if Taoist friends want to refine this pill in the future, they can come to our medicine store. All branches of our medicine store provide this service."
"I hope so! The spiritual materials needed for this" heart breaking pill "are so expensive. It's another question whether we can get together!" Liu Yu said sadly.
After chatting for a while, Liu Yu left. The imperial sword was high in the air, blowing a cool breeze, and his mood suddenly became a lot easier. This trip not only determined the authenticity of "blood spot black taro", but also found a safe way to refine "broken heart pill". The doubts pressed on Liu Yu's heart immediately dissipated.
Although the second option provided by "baixinglin" is harsh, it is not difficult for Liu Yu. Because the points of "qianmuling" in Liu Yu's hand have reached an amazing 180000.
About half of them are from Liu Yu's own shopping and consumption in "baixinglin", and the rest are the points accumulated by his fellow disciples who asked him to help "buy" various miraculous drugs.
