The "Eternal Life Magic Hand" branch sells alchemy furnaces, various finished pills, nutrient solutions and various rare medicinal materials.
Lan Zhi walked into the pavilion and was greeted by a pretty woman in a pink dress. She smiled and asked, "Sir, what would you like to buy?"
Lan Zhi replied, "Alchemy furnace."
"Please come this way, sir." The woman led the way and took Lan Zhi to the second floor. There was incense burning upstairs, but the fragrance was faint.
There was no counter in the room, but there were cylindrical bases with alchemy furnaces of different sizes placed on them.
The largest one is two meters high and stands in the middle, making it easy to see at a glance.
The smallest alchemy furnace is very small, only the size of a human palm, and is located in the corner.
The name, grade, material, advantages and disadvantages of the corresponding alchemy furnace are written on each base to facilitate customers' selection.
Lan Zhi walked around and took a fancy to the most compact alchemy furnace.
"Young Master, you have excellent taste. You chose the most expensive one right away!" The pink-dressed woman's eyes flashed with delight as she introduced, "This alchemy furnace is a growth-oriented spiritual artifact called the Ruyi Ding. After the contract is signed, the Ruyi Ding can freely expand or shrink according to the alchemist's wishes."
"A spiritual tool with growth potential?" Lan Zhi chose it because it was made of good material and was resistant to burning. The temperature of the earth flame was much higher than that of ordinary flames. If she bought an alchemy furnace of poor quality, the furnace would be burned and she would not be able to refine medicine at all. However, this "growth potential" sounded very impressive.
The woman in the pink skirt said, "A growth-type spiritual weapon is exactly what it says. If you find good materials in the future and ask an alchemist to smelt it, you can upgrade the grade of this spiritual weapon... but it's currently only a white-grade spiritual weapon."
"White-grade spiritual weapon?" Lan Zhi was confused. Aren't spiritual weapons divided into seven grades: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple?
Where did the White Steps come from?
Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the woman in the pink dress. She said, "The meaning of the white level is that it is currently between spiritual weapons and non-spiritual weapons..."
The meaning of non-spiritual weapons is easy to understand. For example, ordinary tables, chairs, and benches cannot be contracted. They are just ordinary furniture and have no special abilities. These are "non-spiritual weapons."
Spiritual weapons can be contracted by people and have certain effects and special abilities.
For example, if a normal alchemy furnace is a spiritual weapon, the alchemist can form a closed space in the furnace to allow the medicinal materials to be mixed and blended more thoroughly, or have the ability to adjust the temperature, which can not only improve the success rate of alchemy, but also make the refined pills more perfect, etc.
This Ruyi Ding currently only has two functions: enlargement and reduction.
The only advantage is portability.
Apart from that, it is of no help in alchemy.
Although the Ruyi Ding has the potential to grow, the materials needed for its growth are very expensive, and it needs to be smelted by a weaponsmith, which is another considerable expense... With this money, it is enough to buy a good alchemy furnace again, so why waste this time and energy?
If it is a sword with growth potential, it will attract sword practitioners to scramble for it, because the sword can grow with people and become stronger together, and a sword will become more tacit after being used for a long time. Sword practitioners are also willing to spend precious materials to improve the grade of the sword.
But the alchemy furnace has growth potential... which is pretty useless.
In addition, the current Ruyi Ding is of no help in alchemy, but its price is more expensive than that of a red-grade spiritual weapon.
Good quality and low price, it is also nothing.
No matter how rich the alchemist is, he would not be willing to spend money on such a "junk product".
But then again, if it was a red-grade alchemy furnace, it would not be able to withstand the burning of the Earth Tribulation Flame. However, the introduction of this Ruyi Ding records the words "not afraid of any flame", which shows that there is a reason for its high price.
"Any spiritual weapon with growth potential is not cheap..." The pink-dressed woman glanced at Lan Zhi and said, "This Ruyi Ding is priced at 50,000 Heavenly Spirit Stones."
"Fifty thousand... Heavenly Spirit Stones!"
Spirit stones are divided into two qualities: heavenly and earthly. One heavenly spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred earthly spirit stones. Spirit stones are the common currency of the entire continent, but in a country like Da Rui, which is relatively small and weak, spirit stones are a scarce resource. The entire country has only one spirit vein, which is occupied by the royal family. If a family has a spirit stone, they will use it for cultivation and will not use it for trading.
The spirit stones in Lan Zhi's hand were given by Shangguan Jianxing...
How many thousand spirit stones did he give her? Lan Zhi didn't count, but it was definitely less than ten thousand, and even further away from fifty thousand...
This price is really expensive...
I can't afford it at all.
The woman in the pink skirt saw Lan Zhi silent and knew that Lan Zhi definitely did not have so much money. She couldn't help feeling disappointed. She thought she could sell the Ruyi Ding today. The Ruyi Ding had been on display for a long time and no one had bought it. If it couldn't be sold, she could only send it to the headquarters of Xuanhuang Kingdom, where there were many rich people and it would be easier to sell.
The Eternal Master opened a branch here, and its target customers are wealthy alchemists passing by and the royal family of the Great Rui Kingdom. The royal family has spiritual veins and can afford it.
This was Lan Zhi's first time here. She thought her banknotes would be enough, but she didn't expect them to want spirit stones...
The woman in the pink dress noticed the customer's financial difficulties and said sympathetically, "Sir, do you think the Ruyi Cauldron doesn't suit your taste?"
Business people are different. They don't say the customer can't afford it, but rather that the cauldron is not good enough. The woman in the pink skirt turned around and introduced the alchemy furnace next to her. "Please look, sir, this red-grade alchemy furnace next to you can improve the alchemist's control of temperature. It is very suitable for alchemy apprentices. This alchemy furnace only costs 700 Earth Spirit Stones..."
Seven hundred Earth Spirit Stones were equivalent to seven Heavenly Spirit Stones. Lan Zhi could afford this because Shangguan Jianxing had given her only Heavenly Spirit Stones. However, this alchemy furnace couldn't withstand the Earth Flame and would melt...
Seeing that Lan Zhi still didn't say anything, the woman in the pink skirt walked over to another alchemy furnace and said, "Sir, this non-spiritual alchemy furnace next to me only costs five hundred taels of silver. It's the most cost-effective one..."
In other words, this is the cheapest.
Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "...Do you accept barter here?"
"That... is fine, but we only accept medicinal materials, finished pills and alchemy furnaces, nothing else." The woman in the pink dress always had a friendly smile on her face.
Lan Zhi flipped her hand and took out a...dried fish?
"Poison is considered a medicinal herb, right? I wonder if you would accept it?"
The woman in the pink skirt lowered her head and looked at the dried fish with a bloated belly. A strange look flashed across her face, and she nodded and said, "I'll take the poison too, but..."
"What kind of medicinal material is this fish?"
