"What?" Cuicui staggered in fright, thinking she had heard wrongly?
"Young Master, do you know that each person can only take one of these Qi Gathering Powder and Pulse Breaking Pill, and they are not for food." Cuicui reminded, wondering if Kong Mufeng had some misunderstanding.
But Kong Mufeng chuckled and said, "It's okay, we have a lot of family members."
"This..." Cuicui was so frightened. "Sir, are you playing tricks on a little girl?"
"Why am I playing tricks on you? If you want to play tricks on me, you're still playing tricks on me. Just prepare for me."
"Then... I'll ask our shopkeeper, there aren't so many here at the moment." After Cuicui said that, she went upstairs.
Kong Mufeng waited for a while and saw Cuicui walking down with a middle-aged, fat man in rich clothes.
The man happily patted his belly with a paper fan and came to Kong Mufeng.
"Young Master Kong, right? I am Wan Rendan, the shopkeeper of Danxiang Pavilion. I am honored to meet you."
"It turns out to be Shopkeeper Wan, whom I have admired for a long time." Kong Mufeng also bowed politely.
"I heard that Mr. Kong wants to purchase a large number of elixirs?" Shopkeeper Wan asked, don't be fooling yourself.
Kong Mufeng affirmed: "Yes, how long will it take for the treasure land to be assembled?"
But Shopkeeper Wan used his fan half way, leaned in front of Kong Mufeng and asked softly: "May I ask if Mr. Kong has an army or a force?"
Kong Mufeng also nodded without hesitation: "To tell you the truth, that's exactly what happened. I wonder if the shopkeeper can get these pills together?"
Shopkeeper Wan shook his head and said: "Our Danxiang Pavilion has always been famous for its fine and rare products, but we have never prepared so many goods. But I can give you a direction."
"Oh? There are still people in this world who give business to their colleagues?" This is a very interesting thing. Kong Mufeng only heard that his colleagues are enemies, but he has never heard of such a generous person.
Shopkeeper Wan also laughed and said: "I can't make any money from you, so why not just be a favor? We are all friends."
Kong Mufeng chuckled and said, "Then please give me some advice from the shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Wan brought Kong Mufeng to the door and pointed to the street: "Go along this street until you reach the end, turn left and then go to the end. That's it."
"Okay, thank you very much."
After Kong Mufeng thanked them, he led a group of people out of Danxiang Pavilion and followed the path pointed by Shopkeeper Wan to the end.
There are few people at the end, which makes it a bit deserted. This area is already considered a relatively out-of-the-way place.
Kong Mufeng looked to the alley on the left, and a dark and dilapidated alley appeared in front of him.
This small alley was damp and dim, and it looked a little older. The people coming and going didn't look like rich people, and it was out of place in the bustling city.
"This is a place for the poorer people in Yiwu City to trade, so it's suitable for you." Nalan Wangshi covered his mouth and smiled, thinking in his heart that he deserved it.
"Damn it, that shopkeeper cheated on us, does he look down on us? Think we can't afford it?" Xiao Hong was furious in an instant, rolling up her sleeves and looking like she was about to fight.
Yuwen Haofan looked at Yuan Haoke and said coldly: "Red Manzi."
"Who the hell are you scolding? I won't mess with you, but you're here to mess with me?" Yuan Haoke looked like he was fighting again when he heard this. He released all his breath and faced Yu Wen Haofan tit for tat.
"Okay, are you two done?" Kong Mufeng separated the two of them one by one.
Kong Mufeng said nothing and led everyone towards the store the shopkeeper mentioned.
"No, do you still trust that shopkeeper?" Lu Dagun also said in surprise.
"There's no need for him to lie to us. Let's go and have a look."
Kong Mufeng walked all the way, getting more and more remote, and came to a small door curtain at the end.
There is no photo on the small door, just a small flag with the words "Elixir" written on it.
The flag and the flag are also worn, old and dirty, but it seems to fit the style of this store very well.
The shop is only about three meters wide, and the old wooden door is still ajar, as if it is not open for business.
squeak……
Kong Mufeng pushed open the door and walked in. A strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine hit his face, and there were round little pill-like things all over the table and floor.
"Are these pills?" Kong Mufeng was shocked. The pills in Danxiang Pavilion were carefully placed in boxes and the boxes were placed on the shelves.
It's good here. There are a bunch of pills like pebbles that are free of charge. They are piled randomly all over the floor. They are all red, black, green and any color.
Kong Mufeng searched around and followed the broken wooden stairs to the second floor. The furnishings on the second floor were even simpler.
There was a bed, a table, a black alchemy furnace, and piles of medicinal materials.
There was a dirty old man with a white beard sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, lighting a fire and looking at the furnace.
"Senior." Kong Mufeng stood at the door and called softly. The old man didn't seem to hear him. He looked at the elixir furnace while playing with the medicinal materials.
Kong Mufeng saw this and stopped disturbing him. He just stood outside the door and quietly watched the old man refining elixirs there.
"This old man opened such a small store and still pretended to be a master here." Yuan Haoke was indignant. Just as he was about to rush in, he was stopped by Kong Mufeng.
The four masters and disciples plus two elders and Nalan Wangshi were standing outside the door. After a while, Kong Mufeng observed carefully beside the old man.
This alchemy is not like what Kong Mufeng imagined, where a seasoned Taoist guarded the alchemy furnace, used six dings of divine fire, threw in a pile of broken copper and iron, and tinkered with the elixir of immortality.
This old man did it in great detail. The alchemy furnace is just an auxiliary tool. Before this, there is grinding, blending, and experimentation, and finally the embryo of the elixir is put into the furnace for firing.
After about three hours, the old man finally took out a box of pills from the alchemy furnace.
Kong Mufeng was shocked. There were estimated to be seventy or eighty pills in this furnace, and they were dripping in piles on the ground.
The old man picked up a yellow elixir from the ground, cleaned it, and put it into a storage ring.
After picking seven or eight pills in total, the old man put the other pills in a bag and left them on the ground.
"Hey, why is there someone here?" The old man looked up and saw Kong Mufeng standing here.
Kong Mufeng resisted the urge to beat him and said with a smile: "Senior, I came here specifically to purchase the elixir."
The old man licked his nostrils and said, "Admired? Whose name do you admire? Okay, tell me what kind of elixir to buy."
"This junior wants to purchase one thousand Qi Gathering Powders and five hundred Pulse Breaking Pills."
The old man was not too surprised when he heard this number, but said: "One price, one thousand gold coins for Gathering Qi and Dispersing."
Kong Mufeng's jaw dropped. Shouldn't a store like this be cheaper? Why is it so expensive?
"Is it so expensive? I'll think about it."
The old man rolled his eyes at Kong Mufeng and said, "A thousand yuan per catty is too expensive for you, so what kind of elixir do you want to buy?"
"One...one pound?" Kong Mufeng had learned a lot, and the elixir was still sold by the pound.
"Yeah, if you think it's expensive, get out and don't get in my way." The old man scolded him rudely.
"I want it, I want it." Kong Mufeng knew that he was making a lot of money this time. There were more than ten pills per pound, and on average, one hundred gold coins at most. This was much cheaper than Danxiang Pavilion.
"Okay, you can put the elixirs you want, and we'll calculate the money with me then." The old man gave Kong Mufeng several large frames and asked him to put the elixirs in them.
Kong Mufeng once wondered whether he was buying elixirs or collecting mountain products.
"The other prices are: Pulse-breaking Pill is 8,000 yuan per catty and Marrow Cleansing Pill is 20,000 yuan per catty."
Kong Mufeng was confused when he heard it. This was definitely the wholesale price. It seemed that the shopkeeper had recommended the right place to him.
