The next day, Chen Dong went to see Deacon Huang again.
On the mountain behind the outer gate of Qingyun Temple, there is a stone-tiled house, which is the place of confinement. Disciples who have made mistakes are detained here.
Deacon Huang was still in solitary confinement, and Chen Dong could only talk to him through the door.
"Deacon Huang, I'm going out for training, so I came over to say something to you."
"Okay, be careful out there. Maybe when you come back, I will come out too."
After bidding farewell to Deacon Huang, Chen Dong left Qingyun Temple.
In fact, he has a lot of experience. He is unfamiliar with the place here, and he is afraid that if he accidentally takes the wrong path, he will never come back to Qingyun Temple!
All he can think about right now is make money!
The further you go, the more spiritual stones you will consume. Now, let alone upgrading to a level, even upgrading to a small level will consume a huge amount of energy!
He now doesn't have any spiritual stones, and his upgrade has become very slow. Refining medicine is obviously a breakthrough point.
After coming to this world for more than a month, he has gradually mastered the operating rules here.
In fact, the only currencies produced by the government were silver coins and gold coins, and ordinary people also used this kind of money.
The so-called spirit stones are excavated from spirit stone mines. Of course, the quantity of these spirit stone mines is not large. They are monopolized by some sects and big families, and the mining quantity is limited, so they become very precious things.
Because there are so many cultivators in this continent, almost everyone needs spirit stones, so spirit stones have become hard currency.
Just like gold on earth, gold is not a serious currency, but it can be exchanged for money at any time.
It's just that it's more direct in this world. Some shops that sell cultivation resources only accept spiritual stones.
Now that he has mastered the method of refining medicine, Chen Dong is ready to do something big.
This time, Chen Dong did not go to a small city. After all, the capacity of a small city is limited. Previously, he could barely accept ten Xiongshe Pills in Jiangnan Pavilion in Xinyang City.
Chen Dong arrived at Shangdu City, the largest city in Zhongyuan County.
Shangdu City is the county seat of Zhongyuan County. The city owners are all at higher psychic levels, and there are countless rich and powerful families in the city.
There is also a commercial capital on the earth, and it is also the provincial capital of the Central Plains. This shows the degree of care of Yanzu. He really regarded this as the "Scorching Summer Continent" to build it.
In Shangdu City, there are many psychic-level people. However, flying is prohibited in the city, and it cannot be seen from the outside, unless people take the initiative to spread their aura.
Chen Dong knew that he was nothing here, so he kept a low profile from the beginning, not intending to provoke anyone and just making money with peace of mind.
As usual, he found Jiangnan Pavilion.
Jiangnan Pavilion is very good, it has everything.
He was already an old member of Jiangnan Pavilion, one who was registered at the backstage of Jiangnan Pavilion. After the waiter confirmed his identity, he immediately received him warmly.
"Sir, what do you want to buy this time?" the waiter said cheerfully.
"I want to sell something this time." Chen Dong took out a few bear snake pills.
If you want to make medicine, you must first buy medicinal materials.
This is not the case on Earth. Chen Dong waved his arms and countless families and sects helped him find medicinal materials.
The medicinal materials related to the elixir are of course very expensive. The gold coins in the storage ring are not enough to make them, so you must first exchange them for some spiritual stones.
The waiter's eyes really lit up: "Xiong Shewan, a high-level elixir!"
The waiter took the Xiong She Wan and looked over it over and over, obviously checking the quality.
"How?" Chen Dong asked.
"The quality is good." The waiter said, "But it's not from the Alchemist's Guild, right? It's more like the work of a barefoot alchemist."
A barefoot alchemist is an alchemist who has not joined a union.
Chen Dong nodded: "It can be used as well."
"It can be used." The waiter said: "But as you know, sir, many people only recognize the products of the Alchemist Guild and think that they have guaranteed quality. People don't dare to use the products made by the Barefoot Alchemist.
Come on, it's a bit difficult to take action... I hope you understand, after all, it is a healing and life-saving thing, no one dares to take it lightly."
Chen Dong knew that this was just a way for the other party to lower the price, so he said directly: "Just tell me how much it's worth!"
The waiter chuckled: "One seven hundred spirit stones, we'll take as many as you have."
The Seven Hundred Spiritual Stones are okay, the price is the same as in Xinyang City.
After all, we are doing business, so the buying and selling prices are of course different.
"Okay, here are a hundred." Chen Dong took out a small porcelain vase.
"One hundred?!" The waiter's eyes widened.
"Why, you can't accept it?"
"Hey, one hundred pills is too many. I can't make the decision. I have to ask our shopkeeper for instructions."
"Go ahead."
The waiter turned around and left, leaving Chen Dong wandering around.
The Jiangnan Pavilion in the county town is different. Not only is the place larger and more spacious, but the things sold are also higher-end. All kinds of things are high-end, and occasionally you can see some top-quality ones.
Looking at these things, Chen Dong felt a little itchy, but he didn't have the money yet, so he could only feast his eyes first.
After a while, the waiter came back.
"Sir, we can accept one hundred Xiong She Pills, but the price will be lower. One five hundred spirit stones, what do you think?"
Chen Dong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
This businessman is so good at lowering prices that he can only sell five hundred spirit stones for high-end elixirs!
But there is no other way. What he lacks most now is spiritual stones. Just lower the price. It would be good if he can get rid of it.
One hundred bear snake pills were handed over to the other party, and fifty thousand spiritual stones were obtained.
Looking at these 50,000 spirit stones, Chen Dong felt a little dumbfounded. This was not enough for him to rise to a small realm.
But there is no other way. Among the pills he refined on earth, only Xiong Shewan is worth a little bit.
There are spiritual stones here, and there is no need for energy-gathering elixirs; there is abundant spiritual energy here, and masters, grandmasters, and grandmasters rarely encounter bottlenecks, and the price of Peiyuan Pills and Ambergris Pills is not high.
Now, hurry up and make the medicine!
Chen Dong used the 50,000 spirit stones to buy a bunch of medicinal materials and left. He rented a small yard in the city and started his own medicine refining process.
In this world, elixirs that increase speed, strength, and defense are the most popular, and almost everyone can use them.
Before at Qingyun Temple, Chen Dong memorized many prescriptions, but he had never practiced them, so he started experimenting with intermediate elixirs.
Intermediate elixirs should not be difficult for Chen Dong, the top alchemist on earth.
With a "hoo" sound, Chen Dong used his inner strength to ignite the fire, and then put in the medicinal materials one by one.
But what Chen Dong didn't expect was that even refining an intermediate-level elixir was a bit difficult for him. In the end, he had to use another internal force to get this accelerated mid-level elixir.
It was refined.
"What's going on?"
Chen Dong was very surprised.
On Earth, the only top elixir that allows him to use two internal forces to refine medicine is the "Nine Heavens and Nine Earths Great Return Pill"!
In this world, any mid-level elixir requires two streams of internal energy?
Chen Dong doesn't think that all those alchemists have two internal powers!
Chen Dong suddenly remembered that at Qingyun Temple, Nangong Yue, the president of the Zhongyuan County branch of the Alchemist Guild, once said that he "had no mental power and could not even make the most common low-level pills."
Chen Dong still doesn't know what "mental power" is.
But I guess it must be related to the alchemists. Once they have spiritual power, they can refine various levels of elixirs.
Moreover, spiritual power obviously has levels, otherwise everyone would be able to be a high-level alchemist or a top-level alchemist.
Because Chen Dong has two internal forces, he can skip the "mental power" step.
"It's good. God still treats me well."
Chen Dong was satisfied and continued to refine the elixir, which was still at the intermediate level as before.
Acceleration, strength, defense...
Several of all kinds came.
After all, this is the first time, and a week has passed since I finished refining so many elixirs.
Chen Dong took these elixirs to Jiangnan Pavilion and exchanged them for 100,000 spirit stones.
In one week, 50,000 yuan turns into 100,000 yuan, which is not bad.
Chen Dong changed some medicinal materials and returned to the small courtyard to start refining high-level elixirs.
High-level elixirs are naturally more difficult to refine. Fortunately, Chen Dong had two internal forces and successfully conquered them.
Moreover, Chen Dong discovered that when refining high-level elixirs, there are actually requirements for the level of another internal force. Even if the level is lower, the refining may not be successful!
The control of fire and internal strength are so important.
It seems that upgrading another internal force before was a wise choice.
Another week later, one hundred thousand became two hundred thousand.
Chen Dong continued to return to the small courtyard to refine the elixir.
The more medicinal materials, the more time is consumed.
Half a month later, when he returned to Jiangnan Pavilion again and placed dozens of high-level elixirs in front of Waiter, Waiter's expression finally became solemn and complicated.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go ask the shopkeeper for instructions."
The waiter turned around and left.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly and rich clothes came out.
——Of course, in this world, he looks like a middle-aged man, maybe over a hundred years old. Who knows if the shopkeeper is a monk?
Chen Dong was too embarrassed to detect others, which seemed very rude.
The shopkeeper came to Chen Dong and said respectfully: "Sir, please come to the inner hall to talk."
The elixir Chen Dong brought this time was worth at least 400,000 spirit stones.
It is normal for the other party to be cautious.
Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Dong followed the shopkeeper to the inner hall.
After sitting down, the waiter served tea again.
"My surname is Zhao, and I am the shopkeeper of Jiangnange Shangducheng branch. May I ask your surname?" the shopkeeper asked politely.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, my name is Chen Dong."
"Mr. Chen..." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded: "You... are a barefoot alchemist?"
Every time Chen Dong buys medicinal materials, he will bring a bunch of pills a few days later. Even a fool can see what's going on!
"Yes." Chen Dong nodded. He did not join the Alchemist Guild. He asked again: "What, is there something wrong with the medicine I made?"
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately shook his head: "There's no problem. I've checked it carefully and it's no worse than the Alchemist's Guild... It's just that we can't continue to accept Mr. Chen's batch of elixirs."
