Su Hexiang was walking on the street. She had not yet walked on the streets of Shengnan Country in Xuanwu Continent!
The street was really bustling with many small stalls and vendors. Among them, she saw one vendor that was the most conspicuous!
Because there were customers at the stall next to hers, and there were some people standing there, but that stall was surprisingly quiet.
Su Hexiang walked over.
That was an old woman with wrinkles all over her face selling stones!
This pile of stones looks ordinary, and no clues can be found even with spiritual power.
But Su Hexiang felt that these stones were not simple.
Especially the inconspicuous one, the ugliest one.
"Old woman, how much is this stone?"
She pointed to the ugliest stone.
"Twenty spirit crystals, no bargaining." The old woman's hoarse voice suddenly made her feel cold.
The man at the stall next to him couldn't stand it any longer: "These stones look useless, yet you're selling them so expensively. An average family only gets one or two spirit crystals for a meal!"
"Girl, I advise you to just give it a look. It's not worth it!"
Su Hexiang took out twenty spirit crystals from the Yuansheng bracelet and handed them to the old woman: "Old woman, I want them."
When the people around saw Su Hexiang buy the stone directly, they kept silent. She must be the daughter of a wealthy family, but she actually spent money on something she didn't need.
When Su Hexiang left, the old woman with wrinkles on her face looked up at her with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Su Hexiang found out about the Shengnan branch of the Alchemist Guild.
She walked into the spacious and majestic building of the Alchemist Guild, which was magnificent and filled with the strong aroma of herbs.
"Miss, are you here to do the medicine business or the herbal medicine business?"
A man in a blue-gray coat greeted her with a smile when he saw her come in.
I guess this is the shopkeeper here.
The Alchemist Guild can provide services such as alchemist grading exams, buying and selling elixirs, buying and selling herbs, etc.
"I'm here to buy some herbs."
She is not an alchemist. In the 21st century, she is a pharmacist. Alchemists make pills, and pharmacists make medicines. The two are different, but closely related!
Su Hexiang observed the layout here. It was similar to the arrangement of Chinese medicinal herbs in the 21st century, with the names of the corresponding herbs marked on each small cabinet.
However, these cabinets should be operated by some kind of formation. When each cabinet is opened, the amount of medicinal materials taken out can obviously reach several carts!
"I don't know what your name is, Miss?"
She made one up casually: "Chongxiang."
Su Hexiang squinted his eyes and looked at the names of all the medicinal herbs written on the cabinet. This was definitely not all of them.
After the memories of her two lives overlapped, she discovered that the herbs used in the medicines of the 21st century and the pills of this continent were similar.
"Give me one hundred of each of the herbs needed for the common first to fourth-level elixirs here."
When the shopkeeper heard about this big order, his eyes as big as green beans widened.
"Miss Chongxiang, if you don't mind, I'll take you to the inner room for a cup of tea. I'll have the guys pack it for you right now."
"Trouble."
The shopkeeper led Su Hexiang to the inner room. After passing through a long corridor, the inner room was filled with a strong fragrance.
This is the incense lit in the inner room. The shopkeeper said it is good for the young master's illness, but he didn't say what the illness is.
She sniffed it and realized that the young master must have been ill since childhood, and this incense could slow down the onset of the disease.
A guy who looked smart brought over a cup of tea.
"Miss Chongxiang, drink the Maoling tea first. I'll have them prepare the herbs for you."
The shopkeeper said this respectfully to Su Hexiang and left the inner room.
She tasted the Mao Ling tea. This Mao Ling tea was different from ordinary spiritual tea. It contained extremely rich spiritual energy and had many benefits for practitioners!
There was always something in the air that made her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell where it was!
In the next room, a man in red clothes with narrow eyes was half lying on a couch made of thousand-year-old mahogany.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of Styrax...
If Su Hexiang could see through this wall, she could look this man in the eye!
He looked in that direction, not knowing whether he was looking at her or the ginkgo leaf hairpin on her head.
The Alchemist Guild was very quick. In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had packed a storage ring and handed it to Su Hexiang.
"Miss Zhong, we have placed all these herbs in this storage ring. May I ask if you are an alchemist?"
"No, I'm not." Su Hexiang thought, I'm just a pharmacist, she doesn't even know how to make pills!
Refining elixirs requires one more step than refining medicine, which is to condense the essence into a pill!
At this time, the shopkeeper came over from the next room with his signature smile: "Miss Chong, our young master wants to give you a gift."
The shopkeeper gave everyone else a look and asked them to leave.
He took out a book...
"No reward without merit. I believe your young master has conditions, right?"
She glanced at the cover of the book and noticed it was extremely old, with four large characters written in a flamboyant style: "Alchemy Book"!
To be honest, she was moved!
This book has an extremely strong sense of familiarity with her!
"Yes, Miss Zhong is really smart. The young master said that if Miss Zhong can refine the elixir, 50% of it must be sold at the Alchemist Guild! Private sales are not allowed!"
"Oh? Then why does he think I can definitely make pills?"
Su Hexiang narrowed her eyes, as if trying to see through this person.
"The Young Master said that everything is fate, Miss Zhong, don't worry. If Miss Zhong can't refine the elixir, then just return this book."
"Really?" She accepted the book. "Then why doesn't your young master come here in person?"
Su Hexiang's eyes drifted vaguely to the next room.
The shopkeeper seemed to have seen it and shook his body: "The young master is not feeling well and cannot see guests. Miss Zhong, if you need anything, please let me know."
"We'll give Miss Zhong a 50% discount on these 100 herbs, which works out to 500 Spirit Crystals. I believe Miss Zhong understands."
50% off?
This is one hundred herbs! Take them, of course I have to!
"good!"
Seeing that Su Hexiang agreed readily, the shopkeeper took her to hand over the spirit crystal.
She left the Alchemist Guild, walked around outside and then went back.
…
When she arrived at the yard, she simply satisfied her stomach and went back to her room, telling Xiaolu that no one could come in without her permission.
She returned to her room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the "Book of Alchemy" from the Phoenix Jade!
She flipped through the book, which had extremely detailed explanations, thousands of recipes for elixirs, even down to the specific steps and the appropriate fire size!
She discovered that there were some elixirs that she had never heard of!
She couldn't help but want to make the elixir immediately! She already had the herbs, but she seemed to have forgotten one thing!
The first page of the alchemy book is: If you want to refine pills, first of all, you need an alchemy furnace!
