Chapter 72 Sharpening Sword Pill
To the west of Jinshui River, five miles away from the town. In a bamboo forest, Zhang Ying built his own hut, burned bricks and tiles, built soil as the foundation, good wood as the beam, water as the channel, and decorated it with flowers and green trees, accompanying tigers and night owls.
I have to say that the ghost soldiers are still very useful. Under the command of Yiwu Jiuqi, this pastoral-style house was built soon. It was not far from the town, and it was also considered a quiet place.
The largest room was used as an alchemy room, and the alchemy furnace turned into a height of one person and was placed in the center. On the day the house was built, Zuo Guanyan and Tang Guanshui came to celebrate the housewarming. They all looked at the alchemy furnace with a knowing smile.
"Brother Zhang's alchemy furnace looks extraordinary at first glance." Tang Guanshui praised him unfamiliarly. He knew nothing about the alchemy furnace. He just praised him for his sake.
Zuo Guanyan was much more reserved, so he gave him a set of ten purple gold gourds. This purple gold gourd has nothing to do with the purple gold gourd of Taishang Laojun, but because this gourd is made of purple gold. The Ming and Qing Sword Sects produce gold in this land, and all kinds of gold products are available.
These gourds are extremely exquisitely made, even if they are placed in the house as decorations. However, these gourds are not for viewing. These gourds are used to hold elixirs.
After the three of them sat down, Tang Guanshui said directly: "Brother Zhang doesn't know when can you open the furnace to refine the alchemy?"
Zhang Ying was a little surprised. Is the two of them so obsessed with elixirs too much? He said: "I haven't refined herbs recently. I can only open the furnace after I have enough herbs."
Tang Guanshui then said, "I wonder if Brother Zhang can practice the 'Sword Lifting Pill'?"
"Sword Lining Pill? What kind of pill is this? I have never heard of it." Zhang Ying shook his head.
"Brother Zhang is not from my Jianzhou, so he naturally doesn't know much about this kind of elixir. This sword-refining pill is not for people to eat, but for magic weapon flying swords." Tang Guanshui said.
"Can you take pills even if you magic weapons?" Zhang Yingqi was shocked.
"How can I not get it? The flying sword magic weapon needs to be cultivated and strengthened with essence and blood, so I cannot take elixirs. It's just that it is not like humans when taking elixirs, it is refined." Tang Guanshui explained.
Zhang Ying nodded. He had never heard of this. When he was in the street market, he only paid attention to talisman making and alchemy was only started later, and he did not pay attention to collecting knowledge in this area. This is Zhang Ying's blind spot in knowledge.
"I have a recipe for sword sharpening pill here, and the materials can also be provided by us. I wonder if Brother Zhang can help me refine a sword sharpening pill?" Tang Guanshui said earnestly.
I have never practiced this thing, and I don’t know if it can be successful. Zhang Ying hesitated.
"Even if it fails, it's okay, just keep practicing." Tang Guanshui said. This is because there are few alchemists in Jianzhou, otherwise he really doesn't have to rely on Zhang Ying so earnestly. There are many sword cultivators in Jianzhou, all of whom are violent elements who go to output. Whether it is alchemy, talisman making or formations, they are not good at refining weapons. However, the exception is to refining weapons. A successful sword cultivator must be a successful weapon refining weapon.
Tang Guanshui said this, and Zhang Ying nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I can't refuse. I can give it a try."
Tang Guanshui was overjoyed and said, "My Guanqi sword is almost powerful, so I hope this batch of sword lining pills can increase their power." After that, he handed over a piece of paper: "This is the recipe for sword lining pills, and I will send the materials there later."
Zhang Ying opened the elixir recipe and took a closer look. After a moment, he knew it. The method of refining this sword-harvesting pill is no different from that of ordinary pills, except that the materials are mostly metal minerals, supplemented by some medicinal materials.
I thought there was something special, but it turned out to be that! Zhang Ying smiled and could practice this pill.
Tang Guanshui looked at Zhang Ying's clear smile and felt that this furnace of elixir was cured.
When Zuo Guanyan saw this, he couldn't help but say: "This kind of elixir for Fei Jian is extremely popular in Jianzhou. Those purple gold gourds are miraculous for storing this elixir. Not only will the elixir not fail due to the passage of time, it can also nourish the elixir."
Oh, it turns out it is a special container. These people give gifts to each other. Zhang Ying complained in his heart.
After chatting for a while, Tang Guanshui couldn't sit still, so he first proposed to leave. He thought he was going to prepare alchemy materials.
Only Zhang Ying and Zuo Guanyan were left in the room, so Zuo Guanyan spoke directly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang has finished this furnace of elixir, I may have something to ask for. I will ask for more help from Fellow Daoist Zhang at that time."
Zhang Ying nodded and said that this was not a problem. He also knew that Zuoguan Inkstone wanted to see how good he was in his alchemy and then make plans for the next step.
Not long after, Tang Guanshui came back with the sword light. He was carrying a package in his hand, which contained the materials for refining sword-refining pills.
Tang Guanshui handed the ingredients to Zhang Ying, and then asked: "I don't know how much the price of each furnace of Brother Zhang?"
This sentence stumped Zhang Ying. He had never charged for alchemy and didn't know the market. Zuo Guanyan was obviously a personal spirit. When he saw Zhang Ying's appearance, he guessed it. So he said: "The three-turn alchemist in Tongtian City has a furnace of elixirs of 1,000 Yuan Qi Pills. Of course, this is the price of ordinary elixirs, and it does not include materials or how much it is to form elixirs."
Zhang Ying understood as soon as he heard this, regardless of the success rate of processing this incoming material, the charge is 1,000 yuan Qi Pill. Even if the furnace elixir is useless, it will still be charged 1,000 yuan. No matter how much it is successful, it will be the customer. If it is to refine more than one turn, the price will be negotiable.
This alchemist is so easy to make money, it is a guaranteed income from drought and flood. I think Zhang Ying can only trade finished talismans, but there is no saying that talismans are processed in the materials...
Zhang Ying nodded in approval, but he said, "I don't need the Yuanqi Pill. You can give me the materials worth one thousand Yuanqi Pills, or find the materials I need to deduct."
This is Zhang Ying's usual practice in the street market. He does not lack the Yuanqi Pill, but what he lacks is the resources for cultivation.
Tang Guanshui was even happier when he heard this. He lacked the Yuanqi Pill, but he really did not lack the materials. If Zhang Ying only accepted the Yuanqi Pill, he would have to find a way to sell the materials in his hand. He could only go to Tongtian City thousands of miles away to take action. It would not only waste time, but also be suppressed by the unscrupulous merchants in Tongtian City. Now that Zhang Ying can accept the deduction of materials, that would be the best.
Tang Guanshui said: "This furnace of sword-litting pill material is worth more than 1,000 Yuan Qi Pill. Even if I have a thousand Yuan Qi Pill, I will send another one to deduct it."
Material deduction is not enough for any material. It is necessary to use the materials he refines the pills as a deduction. It is equivalent to allowing the alchemist to earn a pill. Regardless of whether the pill is useful to the alchemist or not, the alchemist can always sell it.
