Chapter 565 is hard to accept!
Wei Hong walked around among the rows of stalls and was very happy to see them.
After a while, he suddenly stopped in front of a stall selling spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs and various materials.
The stall had just left two customers, so it wasn't too crowded at the moment.
After Wei Hong walked over, he first looked around, then pointed at a small crystal clear flower with a hint of blue placed in the jade box and asked: "Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this blue flower? "
The reason why he was able to recognize this spiritual flower at a glance was because he mentioned it when he and Ding Xue exchanged alchemy techniques before, and one of the elixir recipes Ding Xue exchanged with him needed to use the blue flower as the main ingredient, so Wei Hong planned to ask about the price.
The stall owner of this stall is a handsome monk who looks to be around thirty years old. This man is quite handsome and always has a kind smile. When faced with Wei Hong's inquiry, he immediately smiled and replied: "See you." Fellow Taoist, this blue flower costs sixty spirit stones."
"Sixty spiritual stones?"
Wei Hong frowned slightly when he heard this.
The price is not cheap, even a bit expensive.
You must know that refining a kind of elixir requires at least six or seven kinds of materials, and more than ten or even dozens of materials are needed. Moreover, no alchemist can guarantee that the elixir he refines will be successfully released in one go. Therefore, alchemy involves considerable risks.
And this single blue flower costs 60 spirit stones. So if he wants to refine the Jade Huang Pill in his hand, he will need at least one or two hundred spirit stones just to buy the materials. It's like one or two hundred spirit stones were wasted directly.
This is actually the reason why there are so few alchemists, because the initial investment is too large. Just to practice, you need to consume a lot of spiritual stones and resources, and it may not be possible to upgrade the alchemy level, so without the support of strong forces, It is very difficult to become a high-level alchemist.
Of course, among the vast number of casual cultivators, there may be many Qi-training monks who can become first- and middle-low-level alchemists with their talent and hard work, but there are very few who can become first-level high-level alchemists and above. Wei Hong only knows Ding Xue. .
Therefore, the price of this blue flower is still a bit difficult for Wei Hong to accept.
The handsome young monk seemed to see Wei Hong's hesitation, so he smiled and said: "If fellow Taoist really wants it, I can take away the fifty-six quick spirit stones!"
This person reduced four spiritual stones as soon as he opened his mouth, which surprised Wei Hong.
He looked up at the stall owner and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll take a look again."
At this time, he picked up a piece of silver monster skin and asked: "What kind of monster skin is this? How much does it cost?"
"A friendly eye!" The handsome stall owner replied with a smile: "This is the fur of a first-grade silver fox. It sells for eighty spiritual stones each."
When Wei Hong heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
According to the past prices in Qingyun Shanfang Market, a first-grade high-grade monster skin usually cost around fifty spirit stones, and the premium would not exceed 10%. However, the fur of the silver fox in front of me costs eighty spirit stones. Zhang, this is more than half the price of the demon beast skin in Qingyunshanfang City.
"No wonder the talismans here are much more expensive. It turns out that the raw materials are more expensive!"
Wei Hong understood clearly and figured out the key immediately.
Then he asked about the prices of several other materials and came to the conclusion that they were not much different.
At this time, the handsome young stall owner suddenly smiled and asked: "This fellow Taoist must have just arrived in Xiancheng not long ago, right?" "To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, I am indeed a newbie here, and I hope you will understand if there are any troubles. "
Wei Hong admitted with a smile.
Because he knows very well that his current behavior of wandering around and only asking but not buying, any discerning person can tell that he is not familiar with the situation in this city. Such a person must have just arrived in Cangshan Fairy City, so this He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so Wei Hong simply admitted it openly.
Unexpectedly, the young stall owner waved his hands cheerfully and said with a smile: "Haha, what's the trouble? It's my honor that fellow Taoist is willing to patronize my stall. By the way, I'm Yang Huan. I don't know what I call you." ?”
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Yang, I'm Wei Hong!"
Wei Hong hurriedly reported his family name, and used his real name.
He thought that no one here except Ding Xue knew who he was, and it didn't matter what his identity was.
He naturally wished for Yang Huan's interest in chatting with him. He could learn more about the fairy city from Yang Huan's mouth. This was one of his purposes.
Yang Huan was quite enthusiastic. He asked: "Fellow Taoist, is he an alchemist? I saw that you were asking about this blue flower at the beginning."
"That's right!" Wei Hong nodded, and then replied: "It's just that he can refine several low- and middle-grade elixirs, which is not worth mentioning."
"Haha, this is not bad. Fellow Taoist, don't underestimate yourself!" Yang Huan laughed.
Now that he was talking about this, Wei Hong immediately asked, "Fellow Taoist Yang, Wei is new here and doesn't know much about this city. If I want a job, could you give some advice to Taoist Yang?"
"This idea of Fellow Daoist Wei is not surprising. In fact, it is also the idea of most casual cultivators who have just arrived in Cangshan Fairy City. After all, living in a fairy city is not easy. How can you support yourself and maintain your practice without any income, right? "
Yang Huan expressed his understanding, and then asked: "It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to find a job that suits you and pays well in this Cangshan Fairy City. Do you want to find a job in alchemy, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Wei Hong's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately nodded and said: "It is of course possible to make alchemy."
A flash of understanding flashed in Yang Huan's eyes, and then he introduced: "Since Taoist Fellow Wei wants to find a job in alchemy, I suggest that Fellow Taoist you can go to the alchemy workshop, or some large chambers of commerce, elixir shops, etc., these places It is possible to recruit alchemists, but the treatment may not be the same."
Obviously, if you want to find a job in alchemy, the several ways Yang Huan just introduced should be the most common and the ones chosen by the most people.
When Wei Hong heard this, he fell into thinking.
Yang Huan saw that Wei Hong didn't seem to like the above places, so he smiled and said: "Of course, if fellow Taoist Wei is very confident in his alchemy skills, he can also try to make alchemy by himself. In this way, there is no need to Judging from people’s faces, it requires a lot of investment.”
"Make elixirs yourself?"
Wei Hong's eyes lit up at first, then he frowned slightly.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this idea, but he didn't make a rash decision before he understood the market conditions and various situations in Fairy City.
When I heard Yang Huan's suggestion, my mind suddenly became alive again.
