Chapter 25 Gold Recovery
This book mainly introduces the basic principles of some arcane potions and also records some basic prescriptions.
Arcane potions are called potions, but after reading this book, Fang Yu felt that potions are actually a variation of spells.
According to the explanation in this book, the effects of the potion do not come from the raw materials themselves.
Essentially, arcane potions are made by combining different raw materials and using certain refining methods to confine the corresponding magic network energy, thereby causing a corresponding impact on the potion user.
Therefore, many raw materials whose original medicinal efficacy and final effect have nothing to do with each other are the main ingredients of certain medicines.
For example, the first-ring healing potion mentioned in the book can fully restore the health of ordinary people and extraordinary people below level 3.
But its main ingredient is Silver Moon Grass. If Silver Moon Grass is only used as a herbal medicine, the only effect of this herb is to help sleep, and it can slightly improve the sleep condition of some users.
It is not the medicinal ingredients of Silver Moon Grass that actually have the therapeutic effect.
In the process of refining potions, the material Silvermoon Grass is more like a spellcasting material.
The ultimate therapeutic effect is achieved because the combination of these herbs conforms to the Magic Network's definition of "healing". Under the control of spells and magic power, the Magic Network solidifies the "healing" effect into this potion.
The more Fang Yu read this book on potions, the more disappointed he became. This was mainly because he had never heard of the ingredients used in the low-level potions recorded in it.
Merina roots, shadow mushrooms, wind vines, yellow ning grass, Boss stone powder...what the hell are these?
Fang Yu flipped through a few more pages. He couldn't find any relevant information online about most of the raw materials used in the wisdom potion, the healing potion, or even the so-called climbing potion that could increase climbing speed.
This book was rented for free.
A good cook cannot cook without rice.
"Huh? These two potions are interesting. These ingredients... let me check." Fang Yu was about to give up, but when he saw the last two prescriptions, his eyes lit up.
"Frangipani... I wonder if it's the same as the one on Blue Star..."
"Got it! It really looks like it!"
"Yuzu! Yuzu!"
Fang Yu called out to Professor Jorz, who had been very quiet.
"Come here and take a look. Is this the frangipani mentioned in this book?"
"Grapefruit!?"
Fang Yu called out a few times, but still didn't hear any response from Professor Joelz, and couldn't help but frown.
It seems that this guy only cares about eating and not about being beaten.
Just a few hours after the punishment, the ball started to rise again.
Fang Yu stood up angrily and went to the living room.
As I reached the door to the living room, I saw a blinding red light coming out of Professor Jorz's sphere, and a stream of white gas rushed out of the hole on the top of the sphere, making it look like it was about to explode.
Fang Yu was shocked.
Is there something wrong with Professor Jorz?
Can't be so unlucky?
Just when I was about to ask it a question, the ball froze?
"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"
"This damned Buddha!"
"Why are you targeting my little bone?!"
"Ah! I'm so unfortunate! If my master were still a level 17 arcane mage, he would definitely be able to give this hateful guy an 'eternal cage' so that he can never bully my little bone again! But now my master is just an apprentice, wuwuwu~"
Damn! Brainless fans are the most hateful.

"It's indeed a purity of two nines. Do you want to pledge it or do you want us to buy it back directly?"
The jewelry appraiser from Jie Xin Pawn Shop was holding an appraisal report and speaking in a very polite tone.
The next day, Fang Yu asked his counselor for a day off, which was rare.
Last night he asked Xu Lesheng for the contact information of a pawn shop, planning to sell the gold coins that were the change from the Lorin Tower vending machine early this morning.
It is easy to buy gold but difficult to sell it. Gold shops generally only recycle gold jewelry of their own brand, and banks only recycle physical gold bars they issue.
However, there are too many tricks in small gold recycling shops, and you can be cheated if you are not careful.
Therefore, for Fang Yu, the best way to recycle gold at present is the pawnshop.
Although the recycling price of a pawn shop is slightly lower than that of a gold shop, the procedures are simpler and there are not so many troubles.
"Just recycle it." Fang Yu signed the recycling contract.
These 458 gold pieces weigh a total of 4,812 grams.
To Fang Yu's surprise, the gold coin was almost pure gold.
You should know that pure gold is very soft and can easily wear out if used as currency and not stored properly.
In addition, dynasties generally experience inflation in their later years, and the gold content of official coins will gradually decrease, with the lowest being only 8k (30% gold content).
Therefore, in the history of Blue Star, many so-called gold coins are not truly pure gold, and only about 85% of them have good credit.
But the purity of this gold brown is over 99%, which is similar to the purity of the gold Aurelius and gold Solitus issued by Diocletian and Constantine I.
The recycling price that Jie Xin gave Fang Yu for this batch of gold coins was 238 per gram, which was ten yuan lower than that of other gold shops.
4,812 grams of gold, 1.145 million yuan. Less than half an hour after signing the contract, Fang Yu received a text message notification from the bank.
This time when selling gold, Fang Yu didn't meet any beautiful young owner of the pawnshop, nor did he get any chance to show off and get slapped in the face. He felt quite regretful.
Less than five kilograms of gold may sound like a lot, but for most pawnshops, they always come across a few customers a year who buy back more than ten or twenty kilograms of gold at a time.
The largest amount this assessor had ever seen was 120 kilograms, which was divided into 6 suitcases and hauled by car.
This is especially true when gold prices are rising and when the stock market is plummeting.
"It's a pleasure working with you. By the way, this gold coin looks quite exquisite. Where was it issued? Any information on it?"
The appraisal assessor pushed his black-framed glasses and asked politely.
This gold coin is very beautifully made. It is obvious at first glance that it is not an ancient currency with rough workmanship made by injection molding. I just don’t know if it is a commemorative coin.
"A friend helped me make these board game props, but now he's quitting the game." Fang Yu turned off the text message notifications on his phone. "I might have to sell some of them later."
The appraiser's eyes lit up. "Great, we'll get used to it the next time. The next time we buy it back, we can raise the price a few dollars based on the current price."
Pawn shops actually like gold the most because it has little risk and circulates quickly.
Pawnshops generally sell gold at a lower price than gold shops. Some people specialize in this business. They buy gold jewelry from pawnshops and then take it to gold shops through their own channels to launder it. It is not a problem to make a profit of several thousand yuan a day.
"You young people are incredible. You even need solid gold props for your board games."
The assessor, who was in his thirties, couldn't help but sigh.
"If that's the case, we'll melt it down. The gold bars will be easier to sell."
Fang Yu smiled, waved his hand, said hello to the pawnshop manager introduced by Xu Lesheng, and then left Jie Xin.
By the way, today is already Tuesday. If nothing unexpected happens, someone from Chaoyue should contact me today, right?
