Chapter 277 [(*^▽^*)]
Because Yangchuan Town, like Xingguang Town, is a place where monks gather, many big cities have direct access to these two places to get teleportation arrays.
Ming Fanxing found the location of the teleportation array in Hongye City and asked how long it would take to teleport to Yangchuan Town.
"Yangchuan Town? Are you going there to die again? Wait, you will be able to leave soon. Go there to hand in the spirit stone."
Ming Fanxing nodded. Although he was wearing a mask, there were many monks wearing masks in Han Gu Continent, and everyone was used to it.
After he found the place to hand in the spirit stone, he took a teleportation talisman and returned to the vicinity of the teleportation array. He didn't have to wait long before everyone gathered.
It must be said that there are indeed many monks heading to Yangchuan Town. Even at night, there are still so many people who need to be teleported there.
"Everyone is gathered, start the teleportation now."
Everyone stood quietly, and the teleportation array slowly lit up. The sky-high light slowly covered them, and everyone's figure disappeared in the teleportation array.
Ming Fanxing, who was shopping in Hongye City at this time, suddenly paused, and then continued to ask the shopkeeper in front of him, "What about this?"
"Sir, you have a good eye. This thing is extremely precious. Our store has spent a lot of effort to get it..." The shopkeeper
was bragging, but Ming Fanxing didn't listen at all. He was just recalling the feeling just now. Sure enough, when one of the clones used the teleportation array, the other one would also feel it.
"...So, we offer one hundred second-grade, third-grade cleansing marrow pills for this item. What do you think, sir?"
Ming Fanxing came back to his senses, "Eighty."
The shopkeeper, "Oh my, that's not possible. This item..."
Ming Fanxing haggled with the shopkeeper and thought it was quite fun. In the end, he paid ninety pills to get the item. In fact, he could have just thrown a hundred pills over.
It's just...bargaining like this is more like life, and...it can prevent the shopkeeper from thinking that he is being taken advantage of.
Ming Fanxing walked out of the store and looked at the sky. He found that it was late at night, but most places in Hongye City were still brightly lit, and lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, as if it were daytime.
"Master, are all the ingredients ready?"
Shuang Baiyu calculated, "Let's go back."
Ming Fanxing did not walk around anymore after he responded, but returned to the store.
As expected, the store was still open even at night, and he found Shangguan Yangjiu in the store, "Shangguan Senior Brother."
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Oh, Junior Brother... are back?"
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Yes, I just came to Hongye City and haven't seen the situation in the city yet. This time I'm out of retreat, just take a walk to relax."
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Yes, I'm in a good mood, and I'll be more motivated to make pills."
Ming Fanxing had given most of the pills to Shangguan Yangjiu before, and he didn't sell them all, but exchanged them for a lot of spiritual herbs for making pills.
Of course, there are both first- and second-level ones. At this time, Ming Fanxing is more focused on refining second-level pills. He only refines some first-level pills occasionally when he needs to mediate.
Most of them are exchanged for medicinal materials for refining pills, but for the rest, he still exchanges them for spiritual stones. Although the purchase price in the store is cheap, there are many advantages.
He can sell them in large quantities to Shangguan Yangjiu without worrying about other things. If he takes them to sell outside, he will be targeted on the first day.
Shangguan Yangjiu looked at so many pills and smiled.
He sighed more than once that it turned out that to manage a store in such a prosperous city, you need a second-level or third-grade alchemist to take charge.
Otherwise, there will not be enough pills to sell, and it will not be enough to sell them in limited quantities.
Ming Fanxing asked as he walked, "There are quite a few people who come to buy pills at night."
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Ah... there are indeed quite a few, but there is no stock, there is nothing I can do."
Ming Fanxing, "Huh? Didn't I just give a batch to my senior brother?"
Shangguan Yangjiu laughed, "We can't take them all out at once, we have to do it slowly."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "That's true."
He didn't notice that Shangguan Yangjiu looked at Ming Fanxing with some special meaning.
In fact, he had already deduced from the number of foundation-building pills that Ming Fanxing refined the third-grade foundation-building pills, and it was definitely not as simple as one or two pills per furnace.
Can it also be a constant two pills? Occasionally three pills?
He had given Ming Fanxing a total of fifty spiritual herbs for refining foundation-building pills.
After he came out of retreat, he gave it to him. Later, he met the people from the Hua family and the Fang family respectively. When they left, they were all happy, obviously they got what they wanted.
What do the people from these two families want most? Isn't it the third-grade foundation-building pill? After all, Ming Fanxing can't refine the third-grade pill now!
These two people took away at least ten pills in total!
In addition to the large number of second-grade and third-grade marrow cleansing pills and spirit-gathering pills that Ming Fanxing took out before, it took more than a year.
In such a short time, refining so many third-grade pills, under the premise that the refining time cannot be shortened, the only explanation is that the success rate of the third-grade pill is relatively high.
At this level, it is probably comparable to some golden elixir stage pill cultivators. He was right. Ming Fanxing is really very capable.
However... although Shangguan Yangjiu realized this, he had no intention of publicizing it.
Ming Fanxing himself never mentioned this matter, which meant that he definitely wanted to keep a low profile, and this was also good for Shangguan Yangjiu.
Although this medicine shop belonged to the Alchemist Association and he was only responsible for management, the more medicines sold in the store, the more profit he would make.
As a cultivator, who could refuse spirit stones?
Ming Fanxing did not say goodbye to Shangguan Yangjiu directly and go into seclusion, but on a sudden impulse he took a look at the many spirit plants for sale in the store.
He took away all the highest-grade young spirit plants, of course paying for them with spirit stones.
Of course, most of these spiritual plants are the main or auxiliary medicines needed to refine the second-level elixir. They can be bought in many places, but the ones sold in the Alchemist Association's shop are older.
Anyway, Ming Fanxing didn't want to suffer a loss, but he didn't find any new spiritual plants that he had never seen before.
Ming Fanxing asked, "Senior Brother Shangguan, are there no spiritual plants for refining third-level elixirs?"
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Yes, there are, but I don't need it this time, so I didn't take it out. After all, this is something you need to consider after you advance to the Golden Core stage."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "You are right, but I seem a little anxious."
After all, in the eyes of others, whether he can advance to the Golden Core stage in this lifetime is still a question. It is too early to set his sights on the spiritual plants for refining third-level elixirs.
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Haha, it's no problem, it's good to be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more motivated you are. I hope that you can advance to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible and become a third-level alchemist."
Ming Fanxing said modestly, "Senior brother, you are too kind."
"Junior brother is only in the initial stage of foundation building now. It is not so easy to reach the Golden Core stage. There are so many people with extraordinary talents in this world, but only a few can enter the Golden Core stage. I don't know if I..."
Shangguan Yangjiu patted his shoulder, "Junior brother is too modest. I don't know about others, but you can definitely do it!"
Ming Fanxing was a little surprised, "Senior brother is so confident in me?"
Shangguan Yangjiu smiled and said nothing. In fact, Ming Fanxing also had absolute self-confidence in his heart, but this kind of confidence naturally could not be shown.
Just kidding, if he can't advance to the Golden Core stage with such an opportunity, then no one else can!
Then Ming Fanxing suddenly mentioned something.
"Brother Shangguan, if... there is an auction in Hongye City, remember to notify me. I am very interested in the auction."
When buying some spiritual materials in the store before, a shopkeeper mentioned the auction. Some of the best things basically only appear in the auction.
Many chambers of commerce will compete, and the ones that appear in the auction are the best of the best, which are absolutely not available in their small shops.
Although Ming Fanxing arranged Taiyin to be outside, he might encounter some unexpected good things.
But it must be said that anything that can appear at the auction must be good stuff, even if it is a little more expensive, he can accept it. Anyway,
he has a lot of elixirs, especially those for refining first- and second-level elixirs, including the spiritual plants needed for refining foundation-building pills, all of which have been planted and mature and can be picked.
In other words, even if he does not exchange medicinal materials with Shangguan Yangjiu, he can refine them continuously.
In addition to the foundation-building pill, the three main medicines needed to refine the foundation-building pill cannot be picked unlimitedly now, and can only be picked once every period of time.
Therefore, Ming Fanxing searched for enough young plants of the three main medicines needed to refine the foundation-building pill as much as possible, just so that he would not have to worry about spiritual medicinal materials in the future.
In fact, even if you buy enough young plants, you still need to wait for a few years, after all, ten times the acceleration is not omnipotent.
During this time, he still needs to rely on using pills to exchange with Shangguan Yangjiu in the store.
But it doesn't matter. He has become more and more proficient in refining foundation-building pills recently. I believe that after a few dozen more times, the probability of producing three third-grade pills in each furnace will reach 40 to 50 percent.
These days are getting more and more promising.
Shangguan Yangjiu, "Auctions, this is naturally no problem, but there are quite a few chambers of commerce involved in Hongye City. Should all the auctions notify you, or..."
Ming Fanxing shook his head, "Whether these auctions have good things, I think Senior Brother Shangguan must have news, I only go to auctions with really good things."
"As for the others? Forget it, it interrupts my retreat and wastes my time."
Shangguan Yangjiu was a little embarrassed, "That's not necessarily true. Every time these chambers of commerce hold an auction, they will take out one or two good things, and then take some other things to make up the number."
Ming Fanxing touched his chin, "That's a problem..."
Shangguan Yangjiu, "How about this, if you trust me, let me judge whether I should notify you, how about it?"
Ming Fanxing naturally had no objection, "Then I'll trouble you."
Shangguan Yangjiu must have been in Hongye City for a long time, and he is in charge of an entire store. His communication skills must be very strong. Let him judge, it won't be wrong.
