Chapter 272 [(*^▽^*)]
He spoke a little nervously, "It was the young master who asked me to come here to look for you, saying..."
Ming Fanxing waved his hands, "Of course I know, I came here for the Foundation Building Pill, right?"
It was only the Foundation Building Pill.
"As you said, it is indeed so, the young master said that any amount is fine, here is 50,000 five spirit stones per pill, this transaction..."
Ming Fanxing, "Did Fang Hai also say that if you meet someone from the Hua family this time, you don't have to avoid them."
"Yes, the young master did say so, after all, the young master and Miss Hua are engaged, so there is no need to hide too much."
Ming Fanxing nodded, and then took out six third-grade Foundation Building Pills to trade with him.
The transaction between him and Fang Haiyi must be measured, and it must not be more than that of the Hua family. After all, he had agreed with Hua Rong before, and now he can take out six pills.
Of course, he actually wanted more spirit stones.
After all, according to what Shangguan Yangjiu said, the third-grade foundation-building pills in the store are hard to get, and they are all first-come-first-served. Even if you queue up outside, you may not be able to get them.
This very reserved Qi Condensation cultivator happily took out the spirit stones.
However, he did not leave directly, but asked about the third-grade Soul Gathering Pill and the second-grade third-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. "I wonder if you have any stock?"
Ming Fanxing was a little confused. It was hard to buy the Foundation Building Pill, but even the second-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Soul Gathering Pill were out of stock?
The man was a little embarrassed, "It's true that some are not enough. If you have any in stock, the young master said that you can buy them all."
Ming Fanxing thought about it. He did have a lot of second-level third-grade pills in stock, which even Shangguan Yangjiu didn't know. It
was definitely not realistic to take them all out, so he took out 300 of each of the two kinds of pills.
In Han Gu Continent, the price of these two kinds of pills is about the same as in Shenwu Island. The price of the Cleansing Marrow Pill is 30 spirit stones each, and the price of the Gathering Spirit Pill is 50 spirit stones each.
After the two of them successfully traded, the man put away all the pills with a smile on his face, said goodbye to him respectfully, and then left.
Before he left, he bought some pills in the store outside to cover up, and did so to conceal his tracks.
Unlike Huayue, after all, Huayue left directly, so there must be someone outside to pick him up. He needed to do this, which meant Fang Haiyi actually sent him alone.
I don't know if he was careless or something else.
Ming Fanxing was about to go find Shangguan Yangjiu, but as soon as he went out, he found a strange man outside, Hu Yumeng, who he had met once.
He came so quickly?
He smiled when he saw Ming Fanxing, "Junior Brother Ming, I just received your reply and came to find you. You are really here, come with me."
Ming Fanxing was very surprised, "Why is Senior Brother Hu so anxious? Wasn't the gathering mentioned before a few days later?"
Hu Yumeng smiled, "It's normal that you don't know. It was originally scheduled for a few days later, but unfortunately, I have something urgent to do in a few days, so I can only advance it." "
If you can't make it, there's nothing you can do. You can only wait until next time. Those who can make it can go together."
Ming Fanxing roughly counted the things in his pocket and found that besides pills, the only thing he could take out was the third-grade foundation-building pill.
I guess these alchemists would not look down on the others.
And if these alchemists who participated in the gathering have elders in the Alchemist Association, then the third-grade foundation-building pill... For them, it is estimated that it is not something they need in particular.
Do I have to use the spiritual plants planted in the space?
These are even worse. As an alchemist in the Alchemist Association, how could there be a time when spiritual medicine is not enough?
He suddenly felt that he was really poor. He had no spiritual stones, no precious materials, no spiritual treasures, only elixirs.
But... this time was an alchemist gathering.
"Brother Hu, I have nothing, so I'm afraid I'll just go and take a look."
Hu Yumeng smiled and replied, "Brother, don't say that. I know you can refine the third-grade Foundation Building Pill. I gave some to Shangguan before. Now I think there is still some left, right?"
Ming Fanxing was very surprised, "Aren't all the alchemists at this gathering second-level and third-grade alchemists? Logically, there should be no shortage of Foundation Building Pills, but the probability of
success of third-grade pills is relatively small." Hu Yumeng was slightly stunned when he heard him say this, and then he reacted and couldn't help laughing, "Brother, you think the third-grade Foundation Building Pill is too simple!"
Ming Fanxing was really a little surprised, "Please tell me, brother."
Hu Yumeng cleared his throat, "I'll tell you."
"It is extremely rare to have the three main ingredients for refining Foundation Building Pills. Even in the Alchemist Association, every second-level and third-grade alchemist who wants these spiritual herbs needs to apply for them."
"These spiritual herbs are limited every year. All second-level and third-grade alchemists can apply for no more than ten free doses each year."
"If you want more than ten, you have to buy them out of your own pocket."
"But... third-grade Foundation Building Pills are expensive, and these spiritual herbs are not cheap either. Moreover, since the spiritual herbs are precious, there is a limit even if you buy them. Each alchemist can only purchase twenty doses a year." "
That adds up to a total of thirty doses. In addition, if you want more, you can only use the third-grade Foundation Building Pills you have refined yourself to exchange for spiritual herbs to refine the pills."
"Of course, if the alchemists can't buy it inside, they can buy it outside at a high price, but no one is willing to do that."
Ming Fanxing thought of the fifty spiritual herbs for refining foundation-building pills that Shangguan Yangjiu had sent to him directly before. It turned out that this was already a big deal.
However, it takes ten days to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills. A total of thirty free and paid ones, which adds up to three hundred days. The rest of the time can be used for other things. This is about right, right?
I didn't expect there is such a rule, but this rule doesn't seem to be useful to him? It is aimed at those second-level and third-level alchemists who can't steadily refine third-level foundation-building pills, right?
Hu Yumeng, "I heard that Junior Brother Ming passed the second-level third-grade assessment with the Foundation Establishment Pill. You are truly an amazing person! Many people want to meet you!"
"Of course, it would be even better if we could trade for the third-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
Ming Fanxing thought about it and did not deny it. "Most of them were given to Senior Brother Shangguan, but... I still have a few left on me. Let's take a look and exchange them if there is anything I need."
Hu Yumeng was very satisfied with his answer.
"Alas... Actually, many families have nephews and nieces who are not ambitious and cannot get the Foundation Building Pill. They don't even want to use the first and second grade Foundation Building Pills, so many of them are still stuck in the Qi Condensation Stage."
Ming Fanxing thought, it seems... whether or not one can refine the third grade Foundation Building Pill is indeed a watershed in the Alchemist Association.
This is probably why Shangguan Yangjiu was so anxious to get him here.
But it doesn't matter. He and Shangguan Yangjiu made a mutual choice, not forced. Why wouldn't they be willing to do something that is a win-win situation?
Ming Fanxing, "Brother Hu, even if I can't refine it, but... as an alchemist of the Alchemist Association, I should be able to buy it first, right?"
Why is there still a shortage of pills? For example, does he have a backer in the Alchemist Association? Maybe their elders can also refine the third grade Foundation Building Pill?
Hu Yumeng sighed and shook his head, "It's not up to us to decide. Most of the pills in the Alchemist Association must first satisfy the orders of the major sects, and the rest must be sent to stores in various cities to replenish the supply."
"It's okay to leave a few pills of other pills occasionally, but it's not so simple for the third-grade foundation-building pills. You also know what happened to the Alchemist Association recently." "
In the past, if I left a few third-grade foundation-building pills, there would be no problem, but now... the management is very strict, and even if I leave them, how can such a small amount of pills be enough for everyone?"
Ming Fanxing expressed his understanding, "I see."
It seems that the pot will still be thrown to the two Yuanying ancestors to stir up factional disputes.
However, if it is himself who is persecuted, he will not let it go.
Ming Fanxing followed Hu Yumeng out of another door and left the Alchemist Association branch. Of course, he said goodbye to Shangguan Yangjiu before leaving.
The two of them came to the street outside. Ming Fanxing looked at the busy streets with people coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh. He had been in Hongye City for so long but he still didn't know the specific situation of Hongye City.
He only took a few glances at the square when he was sent from the headquarters market last time. It seems that he is not so curious about new things.
But it doesn't matter. There will be more time in the future. There is no need to rush. Now Hu Yumeng's affairs are more urgent. But to be honest, Hongye City is indeed crowded.
You can see many disciples from Longxiao Valley and Linfeng Pavilion in the city.
The disciples of Linfeng Pavilion all have the same outer robe, which is embroidered with some green patterns. From a distance, it looks like a breeze is jumping on it, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Hu Yumeng, "It's here. This house is what I bought in Hongye City. Everyone is waiting inside. Follow me."
Ming Fanxing looked at the gate in front of him. There might be large houses where people live nearby. There are relatively few people around, and it looks a bit deserted.
He is not afraid that he will harm him. He has left a soul lamp at the headquarters of the Alchemist Association, and they are both alchemists of the Alchemist Association. There should be no conflict of interest between them.
Besides, this is Hongye City!
Ming Fanxing followed him to the door, and soon someone came out to greet him, "Master, you are back?!"
Hu Yumeng nodded, "Well, where are my friends? Are they all here?"
"They are all here, Master. They are all resting in Taoyuan at the back."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Ming Fanxing, and Ming Fanxing did not avoid it and accepted it.
Hu Yumeng joked, "Brother, come with me quickly. These people must be saying bad things about me. Look, I will go over quietly and listen. I guarantee I can scare them."
Ming Fanxing smiled and nodded, and followed him inside.
To be honest, he is still very surprised. It seems that Hu Yumeng had conflicts with Zhang Laodao before, but he actually made friends with himself, the person brought back by Zhang Laodao.
However...
looking at Hu Yumeng's attitude towards Zhang Laodao, it seems that he doesn't have that kind of deep hatred. Maybe he did that before just to vent his anger?
