Seemingly sensing Chen Feiyu's doubts, Fu Yuanfei explained: "Although Master Xie Rong is a third-grade alchemist, he once successfully refined fourth-grade elixirs, which made him famous.
This time Master Xie Rong can personally come to the Fu family to refine the 'Red Flame Golden Silkworm Pill', which is definitely an unexpected surprise."
"That's it." Chen Feiyu suddenly realized.
Master Xie Rong looked more and more proud, stroking the white goat's beard on his chin, and said arrogantly: "It's easy to talk, but the fourth-grade elixir is extraordinary. Even if I do it myself, it will not be easy to successfully refine it.
We have to agree in advance that you have to provide the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir. I will only refine it three times. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will charge a hard work fee of three million taels.
In addition, if the refining is successful, an additional five million taels will be charged."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xuezhen and Zhong Yuxin suddenly felt embarrassed. They had previously prepared a total of three million taels of silver for the prescription of "Red Flame Golden Silkworm Pill". Fortunately, Chen Feiyu spent money on the auction of the prescription, and they didn't get a penny.
out.
But if the refining is successful, Master Xie Rong will need to pay an additional five million taels of silver. How can they come up with so much money now?
And now the only ones who can help them with the money are the Fu family and Chen Feiyu.
Almost subconsciously, Zhong Yuxin walked up to Chen Feiyu and said hesitantly: "Feiyu, if the refining of the five million taels of silver is successful, can you please advance it first? Don't worry, I'll wait until I get back."
Man Yue Zong', how about we return the money to you?"
Chen Feiyu smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, but..."
Zhong Yuxin just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard the second half of Chen Feiyu's sentence, she suddenly became nervous again, and couldn't help but ask: "But what?"
In front of everyone, Chen Feiyu looked at Master Xie Rong and asked curiously: "May I ask Master Xie Rong, what is the success rate of successfully refining the 'Red Flame Golden Silkworm Pill'?"
"As I said before, the 'Red Flame Golden Silkworm Pill' is a fourth-grade pill, and there are many difficulties in refining it." Master Xie Rong pondered slightly, then suddenly stretched out three fingers and said, "Even I only have 30% of the pill.
The certainty.”
In fact, he was only 10% sure at most. The fourth-grade elixir he had successfully refined before was only achieved by chance. Even if he was asked to refine it again, he would not be able to successfully refine it again.
The reason why Master Xie Rong said he was 30% sure was simply because he was worried that Yu Xuezhen and others thought the 10% success rate was too low and would not let him refine it. Wouldn't that mean he would lose the opportunity to make money?
After all, masters are also human beings, and they also need to eat, drink, and have sex. The more opportunities to make money, the better.
Sure enough, Yu Xuezhen and others were so excited that they were able to refine a fourth-grade elixir at the level of a third-grade alchemist. They were still 30% sure, which was already very high for them. As expected of Master Xie Rong, he was really powerful.
Chen Feiyu frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "The success rate is only 30%, which is too low.
And under the premise that we personally prepare the medicinal materials, regardless of whether the refining is successful or not, Master Xie Rong can easily get three million taels of silver with just a move of his fingers. This money is too easy to make, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Master Xie Rong is a respected third-level alchemist, but now he is being openly ridiculed by Chen Feiyu. What if Master Xie Rong walks away in anger?
Sure enough, Master Xie Rong's face darkened and he said contemptuously: "He is indeed a country bumpkin from the secular world. He doesn't understand any rules and dares to interrupt randomly. It only makes people laugh."
"I really don't understand your rules, but I do know one thing." Chen Feiyu shook his head and smiled: "No matter how lofty the title of third-grade alchemist is, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a business now.
Since it is a business, the most important thing is a win-win situation. We will pay for your technology with the medicinal materials, and you will be responsible for refining the elixir. This is called 'paying for goods'.
Now you not only don’t guarantee success, but you also open your mouth, which is a bit too much. I don’t see the win-win situation at all. This is not how this business works.”
Zhong Yuxin was startled. Although she also felt that what Chen Feiyu said was reasonable, she was more worried that Master Xie Rong would be angered by Chen Feiyu. She quickly reached out to pull Chen Feiyu's sleeves and winked at Chen Feiyu.
Chen Feiyu turned a blind eye and looked at Master Xie Rong, as if he wanted an explanation.
Fu Feifei, Yu Xuezhen and others suddenly laughed bitterly. Chen Feiyu was still as unruly as ever, and he didn't even give Master Xie Rong any face. Now things were a bit difficult to handle.
Master Xie Rong's face became more and more gloomy. As a third-grade alchemist, he was respected by everyone no matter where he went. Who would have thought that today he would be looked down upon by a junior? How could he not be angry?
It's just that he is a respected elder. Even if he wins the quarrel with Chen Feiyu, it is just bullying the younger. Not only is there no honor, but it will cause a lot of laughter if word spreads.
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard from the side, attracting the attention of everyone present. The person who chuckled was none other than Master Xie Rong's apprentice, Ji Hongyuan.
Ji Hongyuan stood up, with a smile on his face, looked at Chen Feiyu and said disdainfully: "Since you said it's business, then we will follow the rules of business. I wonder if you know what 'unusual goods can live in'?"
"Of course I know." Chen Feiyu said lightly: "So what?"
"That's enough." Ji Hongyuan said contemptuously: "My mentor is a respected third-level alchemist. Currently, except for my master, no one among the people present can refine the 'Red Flame Golden Silkworm Pill'
', this is called a rare commodity.
Since it is a rare commodity, it is a seller's market. How to price it and how much it should be priced are all decided by my master. If you think it is not suitable, then just don't do the business. Are you right, master?"
"That's right." Master Xie Rong showed Ji Hongyuan an admiring look and said with a proud smile: "If you think the price is not appropriate, then we will say goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Yu Xue was really shocked, fearing that Master Xie Rong would really leave, so she quickly said: "Master Xie Rong, please forgive me, we did not mean this."
Master Xie Rong didn't really want to leave. He paused for a moment, looked at Chen Feiyu, and said with an air of dignity: "Really? I'm afraid some people mean something different from Snow Fairy."
Chen Feiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "If it is really a rare thing to live in, then I have nothing to say but admit defeat."
Master Xie Rong suddenly showed a proud look. This boy was really scared.
Ji Hongyuan smiled contemptuously and said: "Since you know you were wrong, then apologize to my master. Maybe my master will not leave as soon as he is in a good mood."
Zhong Yuxin and Yu Xuezhen were immediately embarrassed. With Chen Feiyu's unruly character, he would definitely not be willing to apologize, but what if he didn't apologize and Master Xie Rong left?
The master and apprentice looked at Chen Feiyu, hesitant and speechless.
"No, you have misunderstood what I meant." Chen Feiyu stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "What I mean is that you obviously haven't reached the level where you can live in rare treasures, because besides you, there are people here who can make elixirs."
Fu Feifei couldn't help but ask: "Who is it? Why don't I know?"
"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Chen Feiyu said with a smile: "That's me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Feiyu in shock.
