Chapter 91
While the commotion was going on outside, Lin Qinghen, the person at the center of the storm, was still eating breakfast slowly at home.
He liked today's porridge, which was hot and should be eaten slowly. He occasionally said a few words to Yin Jiuxiao beside him. He looked very peaceful, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yunsi was sitting opposite him. Someone from Diemeng came to report what happened outside and was talking about it at the table. He listened and laughed.
"You are dumbfounded, right? You don't know what's going on!" He couldn't hide his smug look, and couldn't help but poke Lin Qinghen, "Lin Qinghen, you should thank me properly, right?"
Lin Qinghen glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Yes, haven't I thanked you several times before? Our Yunsi is the most powerful, and Diemeng is really lucky to have you."
Lin Qinghen always speaks nicely with a soft tone, and is particularly good at coaxing people. Although he has said this many times and this is not the first time he has heard it, Lin Yunsi's tail is still lifted up by his coaxing.
It was more satisfying to hear Lin Qinghen praise him than to hear anyone else praise him.
In fact, when Mu Jiu was called over by Lin Qinghen for the first time, seeing how flustered he was, Lin Yunsi wanted to tell him about this matter at that time, but was stopped by Lin Qinghen.
At that time, they did not regard the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce as a threat.
If Mu Jiu came to ask him during this period, Lin Qinghen would tell him the reason.
——It’s the base of the medicine.
This was really not Lin Qinghen's idea. Surprisingly, it was an idea proposed by Lin Yunsi.
In the past three months, Lin Qinghen did not waste his time. He gained a lot, but many things were not shown at the first time.
His own experiments failed repeatedly and he didn't come up with anything new, but after Lin Qinghen shared what he had researched, most of his gains were from others.
The power of one person is limited, but the power of the masses is unlimited. During this period of time, Lin Qinghen often only played the role of setting an example.
The two-color dogwood was discovered accidentally by the common people; the equipment refiners and those who were setting up scaffolds in the farmland who were planning to innovate were also unexpected gains; as for Lin Yunsi, the improved version of the medicinal base was a reward to him.
All yellow-grade elixirs require a medicinal base when they are refined. Lin Qinghen's system naturally needs it as well. He has used it many times and even diluted it himself when he was making hemostatic powder before, but he has never done it himself.
If one makes the medicine base by oneself, it will consume both spiritual energy and physical strength. Lin Qinghen lacks both spiritual energy and physical strength, so naturally he does not focus on this.
The medicinal base is not complicated and the price is quite cheap. The raw material is low-level spirit crystal, which is a very common mineral in the wild. It is condensed from the spiritual energy floating in the outside world, a bit like amber, and may condense anywhere. If spiritualists are willing to spend time and effort, they can even draw their own spiritual power to condense it.
After the low-level spirit crystals are ground up, they can be simply mixed to make the base of the medicine. As a pharmacist, Lin Yunsi had learned how to mix the base of the medicine when he was a child, but he no longer needed this thing after he was promoted to the Xuan level.
This time, Lin Qinghen began to frequently come into contact with yellow-grade things again, and the "medicinal base" reappeared in his field of vision.
A few months ago, Lin Qinghen taught him how to mix medicine, and he learned it seriously. After studying it for a long time, he finally got the hang of it and was able to make something that would satisfy Lin Qinghen.
But apart from this, Lin Yunsi's brain was also stimulated and he could draw inferences from one instance to another.
In Lin Qinghen's opinion, the most important thing in preparing the secret potion is the proportion, which is very difficult to control. Lin Yunsi indeed spends most of his time on this.
But from Lin Yunsi's perspective, Lin Qinghen's method of extracting raw materials was something he had never seen before. It was completely new in concept and very different from what his teachers taught him when he was a child and the methods commonly used in the spiritual world.
This was something Lin Qinghen came up with based on his experiences from two lifetimes. He had always done this and had often used it in research before. He had gotten used to it and didn't think it was anything special.
But Lin Yunsi discovered that what was extracted by this method was obviously purer and more effective, much better than the commonly used methods.
Compared to the secret medicine formula, this is also a huge gain for Lin Yunsi. After learning it, he felt itchy and always felt that the effectiveness of this technique should be more than that.
After all, Lin Qinghen was not a serious alchemist, and he had no real experience in alchemy, but Lin Yunsi knew that he had very deep feelings.
There are many impurities in the yellow-grade raw materials, so the reason why the medicinal base is used is, firstly, to help replenish spiritual power, and secondly, it is also an important aid for the alchemist, like a tool for the alchemist, helping them to remove the impurities of the raw materials during the alchemy period, and then let the useful things in the materials remain and condense together to form pills.
As a basic and intermediate material, the production method of drug base has not changed much, and no one has thought of making any changes to such a simple thing.
But after Lin Yunsi learned the new extraction technique, he tossed and turned for a long time and came up with some ideas.
Can the medicinal base also be applied in this way?
The principle that raw materials determine finished products has always been there, and no one has tried to shake it. But if the base of the medicine can undergo earth-shaking changes, can it stimulate the effectiveness of the raw materials to a greater extent? Will it also affect the quality of the pill?
He fed this idea back to Lin Qinghen, which surprised Lin Qinghen.
This is feasible. There is no harm in giving it a try. Just do it, and then Lin Qinghen did it himself.
About a month ago, he and Lin Yunsi changed the method of making the medicine base. The method of simply mixing the spirit crystals after grinding them was abandoned. Instead, they started to process the low-level spirit crystals first, sifting out the impurities inside, and then mixing them. Lin Yunsi, the alchemist, also gave him real-time feedback on his experience. After trying it several times, the result did not disappoint him.
A good intermediary material can be felt during the refining process. Even the alchemist will feel different and the process will be obviously smoother.
The feel of the pharmacist will naturally affect the pill, and the improved medicinal base will obviously have an impact on the quality of the pill, which better stimulates the effectiveness of the yellow-level materials.
In comparison, the improvement is about 10%.
However, if others refine it, they cannot break through the star level, and the quality of the pill is still restricted by the raw materials. The six-star Lingpo Pill that is given now is added by the 10% of Lin Qinghen's system.
In fact, Lin Qinghen had already got the result half a month ago.
His system was also updated accordingly. He no longer used the common medicinal base but an improved version. But it was at that time that he received news that Haihun City was trying to probe him.
Then Lin Qinghen quietly hid his six-star soul pill without releasing any information to the outside world. He squatted there with a wait-and-see mentality, waiting for others to fall into his trap.
In the past half month, all he had been selling for takeout was his previous inventory. According to his plan, the counter was sold out yesterday.
Lin Qinghen also came at this time on purpose. He watched coldly as the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce was tossing around those fancy tricks, and hoped that they would do it even harder, after all, the louder the sound, the harder the fall.
While others were making efforts, he was working secretly to make full preparations.
At the beginning, only he and Lin Yunsi knew the method of purifying the medicinal base, but the demand was so great that the two of them could not do it alone, so they had to teach it. However, they could not teach it casually, so they had to find someone they could trust.
This technique is not that technically demanding and is much simpler than preparing secret medicine. Lin Qinghen slightly improved it so that people with high spiritual power can make it in batches after learning it. Then he habitually invited Yu Yinyin, and the Wolf Clan captured Wei Lin to do the hard labor. The two Heavenly Ranks were indeed very efficient, and now Die Meng has enough medicine.
At this moment, Lin Qinghen didn't need to do anything but take out the things he had hidden.
The materials he purchased and gave away yesterday, as well as those just put on the counter today, including those provided to the Yin family, have all been replaced with new ones.
Lin Yunsi has always known that he was just watching the show, waiting for others to fall, but when he actually experienced it, he was so happy that he was flying.
He also played a part in this!
This is much more interesting than staying in the Lin family before! The world outside is exciting!
He had laughed enough there, and Mu Jiu, who came to his door late, realized what was going on.
His face flushed and his expression was excited, but he was interrupted by Lin Qinghen before he could say a few words.
"I know everything that's going on outside," Lin Qinghen said, "I told you before, calm down, the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce can't compete with us."
To be honest, he never intended to let the Tear City Alchemist Association collect the materials for the Soul Pill on a large scale.
Maximizing the benefits, if his system can be transferred, as the Alchemist Association on his side goes to refine the Soul Pill, the quality is naturally inferior to his, why bother? It's just a waste of materials.
The reason why Mu Jiu was needed was very simple. There were medicines that Lin Qinghen's system could not refine, and Diemeng did not have enough alchemists. It was unnecessary to let Lin Yunsi refine such medicines.
He was unable to make the healing pills and the Qi-replenishing pills made from the two-color dogwood that he later discovered.
When providing the secret medicine to the pharmacy's plantation, Lin Qinghen deliberately controlled the proportion and asked the pharmacy to grow Ruorong grass on a large scale. That was the material for the Seven Star Healing Pills, and this was the market that the Tear City Alchemist Association should pay attention to.
So he asked Mu Jiu to integrate the medicine store he had. This would take time. He thought that after the integration, it would be almost the harvest period of Ruorong grass, which would just be a supplement to Diemeng and fill the blank market he had.
He has no plans to tell the other party the method of making the medicinal base for the time being, but if there is sufficient reserve, he can provide it to the Tear City Alchemist Association in the future. After the materials for the healing pills are successfully produced, Mu Jiu will be able to take over, and there will be the same advantages, and everyone can make money.
As for whether to provide him with the medicine, Lin Qinghen had actually been keeping an eye on Mu Jiu's actions.
Lin Qinghen has been using the arrival of the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce as his own touchstone. He tested Mu Jiu, those who were not firm enough in the Alchemist Association, and even the people of the entire city.
The results generally satisfied him.
Honestly speaking, integrating the medicines of Tear City was a huge action, one that required determination and determination to turn the blade inward. Lin Qinghen deliberately did not tell him anything, but no matter how anxious and panicked Mu Jiu was, he still did as he asked.
He is obedient, which means he is one of us.
Lin Qinghen was satisfied. He would never treat his own people unfairly.
