Chapter 834 The hen that lays golden eggs? It's just a hot potato
"Sir, the first batch..." the financial officer reported to Lu Xingshi that the armor and swords that had been sold before were exchanged for gold and silver coins and placed in the treasury.
Lu Xingshi was like a glutton, devouring food with big mouthfuls.
In fact, these foods are not very delicious, but the conditions are really limited, and Lu Xingshi doesn't care about taste and taste, but about nutrition.
He began to practice breathing and meditation methods. Whether it is physical growth or spiritual growth, it cannot be born out of thin air. It requires a large amount of nutrients to be supplemented.
Correspondingly, he can also realize how difficult it is to practice during the low period of extraordinary life.
At present, he has not condensed extraordinary seeds. They are all in the apprenticeship stage. In addition, his qualifications are not bad. According to his calculations, he is at least at the top level.
Lu Xingshi suspected that the glory entry was not only related to the Shield of the Earth King, but also the wizard qualifications, and the knight entry not only represented that the Langton family was a knight family, but also represented the knight qualifications.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi was still a genius at the beginning. However, even so, his progress in breathing and meditation methods was still as slow as a snail.
He has also investigated the reason. It is not his problem, but the world's problem.
To put it simply, the external environment does not support its rapid growth, and the ecological resources are not enough to sustain it.
A high-level magic technique will naturally not adapt to low-level magic as time goes by.
Just like the Shield of the Earth King, its power was definitely not low in the era of high demons, but now, it can only be reduced to a symbol of the Langton family.
When he thought of this, Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused. Fortunately, the Shield of the Earth King was not in the treasure house. The essence of the earth element on it belonged to a demigod. If he had to take it off and use it, he would probably be in a big loss.
"Well, I understand. How is the perfume I gave you before?" Lu Xingshi asked.
Perfume is an extremely popular daily necessities among the nobles. Many nobles are engaged in this trade, but it is not that easy to make a best-selling perfume.
Lu Xingshi's idea is very simple. He only plans to make niche products.
Although there is a possibility of being targeted, under his control, the benefits will definitely be sufficient.
"Sir, your Black Thorn has been finished, but the territory cannot produce it on a large scale. My suggestion is to sell this perfume formula directly to the royal family, which can be exchanged for at least one thousand gold coins." The financial officer said.
Lu Xingshi touched his chin: "If it's less, there's no problem if it's worth one hundred thousand."
What he said was an understatement. If you were doing serious business, this would be a golden mountain.
Unfortunately, in the kingdom, merchants are just tools to earn gold coins for the nobles, and how much they can earn depends on the title and strength of the nobles.
"But sir, we can't save even one hundred thousand. We will only attract the eyes of greedy people." The financial officer said.
"What you said makes sense." Lu Xingshi touched his chin. He was thinking about one thing, that is, whether he could directly change to something he wanted.
"If I exchange this formula for the Shield of the Earth King and some things I need for my knight training, what do you think is the probability of success?" Lu Xingshi asked.
It can be seen from the design drawing that the Shield of the Earth King can only be used by those who have practiced the "Earth Element Breathing Method", and at least they must have condensed the seeds of life.
Now there are only three knights in the entire kingdom who have condensed the seeds of life, and they are not practicing the "Earth Elemental Breathing Method".
So in fact, for the royal family, the Shield of the Earth King is just a decoration that symbolizes power, and it is definitely worth exchanging it for actual benefits.
The probability of him coming back is not low, and then getting some of the materials he needs as research supplies is not low either.
The royal family must have earth element essence, but they will definitely not give it to them, they will only give other materials.
He didn't mind, because there was already a channel for the earth element essence, no, there was even a purified version.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work. The most I can do is exchange for the Shield of the Earth King." The financial officer understood how greedy the royal family was.
"Then add a perfume formula and change some materials. I plan to make it into a potion that improves physical fitness." Lu Xingshi didn't care about the perfume formula at all.
This thing is a hen that can lay golden eggs, but only if he can keep them.
Since you can't keep it, you might as well just replace the hen with what you need.
When he successfully gathers extraordinary seeds and becomes the fourth great knight of the kingdom, will he be afraid that he will be short of money?
"This... the success rate is not low, but the royal family is very greedy, maybe..." The financial officer hesitated to finish.
However, Lu Xingshi heard the other party's voice-over, which was that after giving it to him, he would probably intercept it halfway and then snatch it back.
"Take ten spearmen, three archers and one cavalry to protect you." Lu Xingshi arranged bodyguards for him without hesitation.
It takes a lot of time to get from the Black Territory to the Royal Capital.
"Then take ten gold coins and one hundred silver coins as travel expenses. Don't save me, but ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers." Lu Xingshi approved the money directly without waiting for the other party to ask for funds.
In the Black Earth Territory, what Lu Xingshi gave was a lot of money.
Not to mention too much, many residents only earn about ten silver coins a year, which is converted into copper coins rather than actual silver coins.
"Sir, it's too much, I just need..." Upon hearing this, the financial officer quickly declined.
After all, they have been loyal to the Langton family for generations, so Lu Xingshi was naturally given priority.
"I only look at the results." Lu Xingshi interrupted the other party.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain something. Otherwise, you will just think about it with nothing. How can such a good thing happen?
"Yes, I will definitely fulfill your instructions!" The financial officer gritted his teeth and agreed. Lu Xingshi believed in him so much that he could only do his best, otherwise what else could he do.
"Go get ready and leave for the royal capital tomorrow." Lu Xingshi gave the order directly.
Naturally, the financial officer had no objection.
Lu Xingshi, after taking care of some official duties in the territory in his hands, began to continue the artificial experiment of earth element essence.
As for training, he had already practiced the breathing method to strengthen his body in the morning, and the meditation method was done before going to bed.
Both the physical body and the spirit have their own limits, so cultivation does not mean practicing hard, otherwise not only will there be no cultivation effect, but you will also hurt yourself.
So after achieving the best effect, Lu Xingshi stopped.
It's not his fault, and he has no way to solve it.
So in his free time, Lu Xingshi began to work on the artificial plan of earth element essence.
With the help of previous alchemy and damaged finished products, Lu Xingshi quickly created an essence of earth element.
But the quality is really disappointing.
If the purified earth element essence is of perfect quality, the quality in his hands is not even considered inferior quality, it can only be said to be inferior quality.
Fortunately, there is a solution, as long as you keep purifying it.
However, this requires a large amount of soil and rocks as raw materials.
Yes, the low-quality earth element essence in his hand was actually extracted from a large amount of soil.
During the purification process, a large amount of soil and rocks need to be added as materials, which is equivalent to secondary refining.
"Twenty thousand small earth element essences of perfect quality..." Lu Xingshi estimated that the quantity would be quite a lot.
There is definitely enough soil in the Black Earth Territory, but the lack of so much soil will definitely cause panic. Therefore, if Lu Xingshi wants to create 20,000 standard units of perfect quality small earth element essence, it will definitely not be allowed in and around the Black Earth Territory. carried out.
"This is just a small earth element essence, there are more to come..."
In fact, Lu Xingshi also knew that it was not his problem. The original earth element purification essence used was not earth, but the real extraordinary biological earth element, so in fact, two people can purify it to perfect quality.
There is no need to be like Lu Xingshi, who has to work hard to find dirt and rocks.
He is simply using more to accumulate quality, but there is nothing he can do about it, the environment is like this.
"Let's condense the extraordinary source first."
Not only is the essence of the earth element needed to condense life seeds, but also the essence of the earth element is needed to condense the soul seeds.
If it is the original wizard, then it is definitely not necessary. You only need the "Earth Element Meditation Method" because it can absorb elemental particles floating in the air.
However, now, there are very few elemental particles, so elemental essence can only be used as a supplement.
This method is generally used by wizards with insufficient qualifications but sufficient financial resources to assist in condensing soul seeds.
As for those with insufficient qualifications and financial resources, of course they will be stuck as apprentices for the rest of their lives.
Lu Xingshi's qualifications are sufficient, but the environment is not supportive.
"Take a look recently to see if any short-sighted person will jump out to oppose me."
"At that time, I will go to his territory and directly refine 20,000 copies of small earth element essence. It will be a purified version."
"Make sure he has trouble sleeping and eating."
Since it is a matter of benefiting oneself at the expense of others, one must choose someone with a grudge to take revenge.
You can't really just find a place.
"We need to continue to improve it. There are still some flaws in the artificial ones." Lu Xingshi looked at the inferior earth element essence in his hand. There are still many shortcomings in the artificial technology.
Mainly due to poverty.
Poverty is Lu Xingshi's shortcoming, not theirs.
"The other thing is to find a way to cultivate some extraordinary plants artificially. Otherwise, if we just go one step at a time, it may take thirty to fifty years to gather extraordinary seeds."
"I have a lot of time, but I can't waste it like this."
"It's not like the school of immortality..." Lu Xingshi was planning the follow-up plan in his mind.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that the kingdom was too stable and without enough chaos, he really couldn't obtain enough benefits.
Only by creating chaos, whether it is a foreign war or an internal rebellion, can create a lot of opportunities.
On the contrary, the current class system is a stagnant pool, and it is not that easy to climb up and obtain sufficient profit resources.
