Going upstairs, Wu Bei ordered a few dishes that Tao Ruxue and Xian'er liked to eat. He had good ears and heard everyone's conversations in the whole building. He had nothing to do, so he used this to inquire about some information and learn about the imperial capital.
Condition.
At this time, several monks in another private room were discussing the auction of elixirs at the Alchemy Association.
"Brother Lan, I heard that a batch of era pills will be auctioned at this auction?"
"Yes. However, because the elixir of the era was refined by the alchemists of the previous era, it is of high quality, but it may not be suitable for us, so buying this elixir requires luck."
"The elixirs of this era are said to come from a certain era where the level of alchemy was extremely high, which is called the Era of Medicine. The elixirs of the Medicine Era are naturally no small matter."
"What's the use of that? Even if this elixir is given to you for free, would you dare to take it?"
The man: "Although I dare not eat it, I can use it for research."
"Forget it. The principles of alchemy in different eras are different. Besides, you are not an alchemist, so what can you research?"
After hearing these words, Wu Bei became interested. There was actually a pill from the previous era!
He listened for a while and then decided to go there tonight to have a look.
After playing for a day and eating enough, Xian'er went home to sleep obediently. Wu Bei asked Tao Ruxue to accompany her daughter, and then took Liu Zhimou to the Alchemy Association.
The tickets for the Alchemy Association were quite expensive. Liu Zhimou spent a lot of money and asked an acquaintance in the imperial capital to get them.
After entering with the ticket, Wu Bei saw many elixir exhibition halls. An alchemy force contracted an exhibition hall to display some of its own elixirs.
The first exhibition hall was very large, with hundreds of kinds of elixirs displayed in it. But at a glance, Wu Bei saw nothing special, and the quality was quite average. His best elixir was just barely up to par.
King grade. The same elixir, if refined by him, can easily reach the legendary level.
Liu Zhimou also shook his head slightly and said: "Sir, the elixirs of this family are too ordinary and they lack skilled alchemists."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "But their exhibition hall is very big."
Liu Zhimou: "What's the use of a large exhibition hall? Exhibition halls like this one placed at the entrance are usually contracted by small forces. The exhibition halls of the truly powerful alchemy sects are all inside."
Wu Bei asked: "Lao Liu, who is hosting this alchemy meeting?"
Liu Zhimou: "A group of alchemy sects have joined forces with major forces to organize this. Their purpose is nothing more than to control the elixir market and create a monopoly business.
Wu Bei: "As a five-star alchemy master, did you also cooperate with them?"
Liu Zhimou nodded: "As an alchemist, it's hard not to interact with them. Most of the elixirs I refined at the beginning were sold by them, but I didn't sell many myself. Young Master, they will definitely look for them in the future.
you."
Wu Bei: "They have formed an interest group. If we don't cooperate with them, I'm afraid life will not be easy."
Liu Zhimou: "Back then, the villain really couldn't compete with them, but the young master is different. You are powerful and a first-grade Dan King. You can completely suppress this group of people. If nothing else, once the name of Dan King is revealed, everyone will be able to suppress it."
All the superpowers want to win over the young master."
Wu Bei: "If we can cooperate happily, that's fine. But if they bully us, then there's no need to be polite to them."
While he was talking, a smaller stall appeared in front of him. The stall owner placed a large number of expired elixirs. Some of them had loose structure, some had a strange smell, and some had changed color. These expired elixirs were all put away.
In a special glass bottle.
People come and go, but few stop to take a look. Expired elixirs are of little value to them.
Wu Bei stood still. Although these elixirs had expired, they still had some beneficial medicinal properties. If these medicinal properties were recovered, they could be used to refine new elixirs.
He asked: "Boss, how do you sell these expired elixirs?"
The stall owner was a young monk. He smiled and said, "I'll give it to you."
Wu Bei took a quick look and found that there were more than a thousand expired elixirs. They came from different periods, some were ordinary elixirs, and some were very precious elixirs.
He said: "One million Dao coins per catty."
Buy by the kilogram? The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "The total amount of all the elixirs does not exceed thirty kilograms."
Liu Zhimou: "Boss, my son bought it as fertilizer, and the price is quite high. If you don't want to, forget it."
The stall owner knew very well that it would be difficult to sell the expired elixir, so he gritted his teeth and said, "One million pounds per catty, I'll give it to you!"
In the end, after weighing, all the elixirs totaled only more than twenty kilograms, and Wu Bei paid 25,000,000 Tao coins.
After buying the expired elixirs, Liu Zhimou finally couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are these elixirs still valuable?"
In his opinion, these expired elixirs have at most some research value, but they are also dispensable.
Wu Bei: "Yes. I can extract some of its medicinal properties. It's just that it's more troublesome."
Liu Zhimou: "It is indeed difficult to directly extract medicinal properties. These medicinal properties have undergone some changes and have been integrated with other medicinal properties, making it difficult to separate."
Wu Bei: "It is indeed difficult. But if you use the right method, you can still extract a lot of medicinal properties. You are like this one."
He took out an elixir that was broken into many parts. The broken elixir shone like jade pieces.
"This elixir contains a rare medicinal property. I have always wanted this medicinal property. Now that I have it, I can refine it and use it to refine extraordinary elixirs."
Liu Zhimou smiled and said: "Sir, it seems that only a few of these thousands of expired pills are valuable."
Wu Bei nodded: "No more than ten. The rest can only be thrown away after buying them."
After buying the expired elixir, a circle of people suddenly gathered in front of him, as if they were watching the excitement. Liu Zhimou also gathered around, looked at it for a few times, then came back and said: "Sir, there is an alchemist who has an attack of erysipelas."
Every alchemist will be infected with some erysipelas more or less throughout his life. After the alchemist refines the elixir, he usually takes it himself to experience the power of the medicine. Over time, if he takes too many elixirs, it will accumulate in the body.
Toxin. When the number of toxins reaches a certain value, it will explode.
For example, the alchemist in front of me encountered an outbreak of erysipelas. Generally speaking, the alchemists who experienced an outbreak of erysipelas were well-known alchemists with higher levels of alchemy and more elixirs produced.
This alchemist was surrounded by colorful smoke at this moment. The smoke came out of every pore of his body. He was in great pain and let out inhuman screams.
People around him just watched, because no one could help relieve his pain.
Wu Bei suddenly came over, stretched out his hand and patted the alchemist on the shoulder, which relieved his pain a lot.
