Wu Bei nodded slightly, and those people immediately waved. A luxury carriage came not far away. The officer and soldier leading the team said, "Please get in, sir. This carriage will take you to where you want to go."
Wu Bei: "Thank you very much."
Being thanked by the alchemist, the leader was very excited and bowed repeatedly.
After getting on the carriage, Ji Ruochen exhaled softly and whispered: "Sir, I haven't been to the ninth-level city yet."
There are only a few dozen ninth-level cities in this world, and each one is far apart. Those who can live in ninth-level cities are the best among human beings!
Wu Bei: "How much do you know about the ninth-level city?"
Ji Ruochen: "The residents in the ninth-level city are divided into three classes. The upper-class people are the owners of the ninth-level city. They have houses and industries. They have high cultivation levels and only account for 10% of the residents. The middle-class people are the relatives of the upper-class people. Friends and accompanying servants accounted for 20 to 30%. The last category of lower-class people were mostly handymen who came from outside the city. They had no chance to enter the city, but after being carefully selected, they were able to work in the city and do some work. A job that superior people are not willing to do."
"But even the low-class people in the ninth-level city have an income a hundred times that of the residents of the small town! For example, ordinary people in Nanyue City only have three to five guan per month. And one hundred guan can be exchanged for one gold baht. Like the handymen in Tianji City, their monthly salary is three to five gold baht, which is three to five hundred guan. This income is a hundred times that of ordinary people in Nanyue City!"
Finally, the carriage entered the city, and Wu Bei was surprised to find that the men and women in Tianji City were all neatly dressed, the men were tall and heroic, and the women were beautiful and dignified.
"It seems that these handymen are indeed one of a thousand." He said.
The carriage drove to an inn, and Wu Bei saw that it was quite good, so he stopped here.
Entering the inn, the boss saw that he was an alchemist and immediately came out to greet him. He said respectfully: "Sir Alchemist, it is an honor for our shop that you can come to our shop! Please come!"
Wu Bei nodded: "Give me an upper room."
"Okay, I'll prepare the best room for you, please wait a moment." The boss said quickly.
Wu Bei asked him: "I only have money in hand, can I exchange it for gold baht here?"
The boss smiled and said: "Of course. One hundred guan can be exchanged for one gold baht."
Wu Bei nodded: "Then exchange it for 20,000 gold baht first."
The boss quickly said: "The store doesn't have that much gold baht, but I can go to the bank to exchange it on your behalf."
Wu Bei: "Thank you."
He handed the boss two million dollars and asked him to change it. After a while, he moved into the upper room. The upper room had a separate yard and was very quiet. Of course, the room rate was also the most expensive, costing 100 yuan a night. gold baht.
A place like an inn is well-informed, and the news that the 19th-level alchemist came to stay here quickly spread. Not long after, Ji Ruochen came in and said, "Sir, there is a wealthy businessman outside who wants to see you, and he would like to ask you to refine an alchemy for him. Plant elixirs."
"What kind of elixir?" Wu Bei asked.
Ji Ruochen: "For the fifteenth-level elixir, the other party is willing to pay 100,000 gold baht as reward."
Wu Bei asked: "On the market, if you hire an eighteenth-level or nineteenth-level alchemist to make alchemy, how much would it cost?"
Ji Ruochen actually understood this quite well and said: "Sir, an eighteenth-level alchemist cannot refine elixirs below fifteenth level. In the same way, a nineteenth-level alchemist generally cannot refine sixteen-level elixirs." Pills below level."
Wu Bei understood the reason. Refining low-end elixirs would not be a challenge for alchemists. He said, "Then just refuse."
Ji Ruochen: "There is another person, please refine the seventeenth level elixir, and the reward is 300,000 gold baht."
Hearing that there were 300,000 yuan, Wu Bei was a little moved and said, "Bring him in."
Ji Ruochen went out to invite someone, and soon a tall and thin man came in. He bowed deeply to Wu Bei. Wu Bei got straight to the point and said, "Bring me the elixir recipe."
The man handed over the prescription with both hands. Wu Bei glanced at it and asked, "Are you ready with all the medicinal ingredients?"
The other party nodded quickly: "Everything is ready! It can be refined in three furnaces!"
Wu Bei: "You can get two pills."
The other party was overjoyed. Generally speaking, alchemists would only give one pill. He
.
He quickly said: "Thank you, sir!"
After the man retired, Wu Bei began to make alchemy. He wanted to use this alchemy to build his reputation. After all, if he wanted to gain a foothold in a ninth-level city, he had to be rich and famous. And with fame, money would also be needed. Here it comes.
He refined seventeenth-level elixirs in the first furnace, and produced four elixirs, all of which were top-grade!
When the man got the elixir, he was shaking with excitement. In his expectation, as long as he could get the intermediate elixir, he would be thankful. Unexpectedly, Wu Bei would directly give him the high-grade elixir!
After sending away the man who had thanked him so much, Ji Ruochen invited a second man, who wanted to refine an eighteenth-level elixir.
Wu Bei still quickly made a furnace, and it was also of the highest quality.
But after that, he stopped seeing people and asked Ji Ruochen to go out and announce a rule: he would only make two furnaces of elixirs every day.
The news that the 19th-level alchemist could easily refine the 18th-level high-grade elixir spread like the wind in Tianji City. Countless people came to the inn, all wanting to see Wu Bei. But the 19th-level alchemist, Not everyone can see it.
It wasn't until Ji Ruochen came in and said that the head of the Chen family, one of the five major families in Tianji City, wanted to see him, that Wu Bei allowed him to come in.
The master of the Chen family has a very advanced level of cultivation. He has already surpassed the eighteenth realm, but he doesn’t know whether it is the twentieth or the thirtieth realm!
Although the Chen family's majors were highly advanced, they were still very respectful to Wu Bei and said, "Your Excellency, Master Alchemist, I am Chen Yuandao, and I have come to pay you a special visit!"
Wu Bei nodded: "My surname is Li. If the head of the Chen family has something to say, it doesn't matter."
Chen Yuandao immediately said: "My father has reached a critical point in his cultivation and needs a twenty-level elixir. I wonder if Master Li can refine it?"
As he said this, he took out a prescription. After Wu Bei read it, he felt that he was about 70% sure, so he said, "It can be done once. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
"Don't dare! No matter whether it is successful or not, my Chen family is extremely grateful!"
The other party left behind medicinal materials that could be used to refine at least five furnaces of elixirs, and then left.
Wu Bei was not in a hurry and continued to extract the scattered Qinglong Star Power. As the Star Power became stronger and stronger, his extraction speed also became faster.
By late at night, more than one-fifth of the Qinglong Star Power in his body had been restored!
He opened his eyes, called Ji Ruochen and asked, "Is there a Demonic Cave nearby?"
He knew that there was more than one Demonic Cave in the world, but he didn't know much about the nearby ones.
Ji Ruochen said: "There is a Demonic Cave outside the city, but this Demonic Cave is too dangerous and no one has entered it for more than three hundred years."
"Oh, how dangerous is it?"
Ji Ruochen: "There are seventy-six Demonic Caves in the world, among which three are the most dangerous. This Demonic Cave ranks among the three most dangerous!"
Wu Bei smiled and said: "The most dangerous thing should also be the most valuable. You wait at the inn while I go to the Demon Cave!"
