Chapter 454 I make money by refining pills
Today she has to go to the old place to make medicine and make money. This trip to the brothel alone cost Chu Yuan 500 spirit coins. If she doesn't make money quickly, she and Xiaoshou will be homeless.
But of course not now, she had to find a place to fill her stomach first. The little beast was full just by eating spirit stones, but she, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, had to rely on grains to maintain her vital signs.
After leaving Ningxiang Pavilion, Chu Yuan randomly found a wonton stall on the roadside. In the original owner's memory, every time she passed by here when begging, she would be deeply attracted by the aroma of wontons.
I fantasize that one day I will have enough money, come here, order two big bowls of wontons, buy a shortbread, and have a big meal.
What a simple idea! Chu Yuan decided to fulfill her wish: "Boss, give me two bowls of wontons with more chili, and a crispy pancake with meat."
While waiting for the wontons to be served, Chu Yuan pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip at the neighboring table.
Diner A: "Hey, did you hear that the last disciple of the master of Wei Rui Sword Pavilion died yesterday?"
Diner B: "Ah, is this true? Who is so bold as to be an enemy of Wei Rui Sword Pavilion? Everyone in this world knows that the Sword Pavilion Master loves this new disciple the most."
Diner A: "Of course it's true. The news has spread all over Yunding City. Weirui Sword Pavilion has issued a joint investigation order to all major sects and immortal cultivation families. They are determined to find the murderer who killed their disciples at all costs."
Diner C: "Yes, yes, I've heard that too. It is said that anyone who provides clues can go to the local sect to claim the bounty. Once confirmed, they will be given this amount of spirit coins." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a five.
When the bounty was mentioned, the diners at the next table were also attracted: "Five hundred?"
Diner C shook his head: "It's fifty thousand!"
"I'm a good boy."
After listening to this series of conversations, the vendor brought up the wontons and meat-filled pancakes that Chu Yuan ordered. She stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon and continued to listen to the conversation between the people.
Diner A sighed and said, "It's a pity that I slept very soundly at home last night. I really don't know if there is anything unusual outside. Otherwise, these five thousand spirit coins might be mine. Why would I need to eat at this small stall?"
Diner C laughed at his high aspirations, "You? Even a figure like the Sword Pavilion Master can't find the real murderer. If you run into him, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your life."
Diner B nodded in agreement: "Brother, you are right. For ordinary people like us, saving our lives is the most important thing."
From then on, their conversation ended, and Chu Yuan began to concentrate on enjoying the food in front of him.
I have to say that the original owner's obsession over the years was not in vain. The wontons on this stall are fresh and fragrant, and the shortbread also tastes great, worthy of the craftsmanship of more than ten years.
Chu Yuan placed three spirit coins on the table and stood up and left. These scattered spirit coins were what she found in the storage bags of the heroine and her companions last night. They must have the lingering aura of their owner.
This clue worth 50,000 yuan will be left to someone who is destined to find it.
Chu Yuan has already changed back to his original appearance, and is preparing to go back to his old place to set up a stall and make pills.
"Wow, so many people?" It's only been dawn, why is there already a long queue here?
"Master, you are finally here. We are all here to ask you to help us make pills." The first person in the line was an old man with a long sword in his hand ready to go, as if he would fight to the death with anyone who dared to take his place.
"I already said yesterday that I only refine two furnaces of pills every day. What are you all doing here?"
This question left everyone speechless. Of course they came here to make pills, but no matter whether they had been waiting here last night or had not left yesterday, they could not get a spot compared to the two who had lined up ahead of them as soon as they arrived. So they could only stay here and try their luck.
One was a sword cultivator, the other a physical cultivator, and it seemed like they had a good relationship. They joined forces to grab Chu Yuan's spot in alchemy today.
"What kind of elixir are you going to make?"
The old sword cultivator stepped forward and said, "Both of us are here for the third-grade foundation-building pill. May I ask how many spirit coins will you need to make the pill?"
Foundation Building Pill? Chu Yuan was very familiar with this kind of pill. He could even make it with his eyes closed.
However, the Foundation Establishment Pill has special effects, and its price in the market has remained high. So although it is not difficult for her to get it, the price cannot be too low.
"Ten thousand spirit coins."
The sword cultivator offered the spiritual card and medicinal materials with both hands: "Master, please make this pill for me."
Chu Yuan paused for a moment and did not take it. Instead, he said to the people queuing behind him, "Is there anyone else who wants to make a foundation-building pill like this fellow Taoist?"
Foundation Building Pills were already in short supply, so naturally many people came here specifically for this purpose. Then several people in the crowd responded: "I, I am also here to ask you, Master, to refine Foundation Building Pills."
Chu Yuan waved his hand and took out a wooden table: "Pay first, then make the elixir. Put all your herbs here."
No one knew what Chu Yuan meant, but they could only follow his instructions. At the same time, they secretly guessed that maybe the master was in a good mood today and was going to refine a few more batches of pills.
After counting the medicinal materials handed over by these people and confirming that there were no omissions, Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion that had been prepared in advance, ready to start refining the elixir.
As soon as she thought about it, all the herbs on the table were thrown into the alchemy furnace at the same time and turned into medicinal juice.
"This..." Although everyone had some guesses in their hearts, they did not dare to say it out loud. With their limited knowledge, they had never heard of anyone being able to refine several pills at the same time, just like Master Tianyuan, who had never done this before.
But the medicinal herbs that he had collected with so much effort were already in the cauldron. If any of their actions disturbed the master and caused an accident, that would be terrible.
So they could only wait.
The reason why Chu Yuan did this was, of course, because she had confidence in her alchemy skills. With so many people coming today, if she really followed the rule of two furnaces a day, it would take a long time to finish the alchemy.
She would not stay in Yunding City for long, but with so many customers waiting here, Chu Yuan could not ignore them, so she simply started mass production. After all, what she was refining was the Foundation Establishment Pill.
As long as the elixir comes from her hand, the quality will definitely not be low no matter if you compare it with anyone else's.
Moreover, each pill has her unique spiritual mark, which cannot be faked, so there is no need to worry about being impersonated or framed.
As everyone anxiously waited, this batch of foundation-building pills was ready!
