Chapter 297: Master, I want to learn alchemy
Time has come to September, running past the middle of the month, and it’s time to go shopping at Zhishen Valley.
In the past few days, Qin Ran was urgently teaching Yan Yi how to make a purchasing plan.
"Each level of cultivation must be separated. What pills are needed by Foundation Establishment monks, what pills are needed by Golden Pill monks, what pills are needed by Nascent Soul monks... These need to be calculated separately.
"A new table must be drawn up each month for the monthly payments for the outer disciples, the monthly payments for the inner disciples, and the monthly payments for the direct disciples.
"The low-grade, medium-grade, and top-grade elixirs of each kind of elixir also need to be separated, because the gap between each grade is huge, and the price gap is also very large."
He has already taught Yan Yi step by step how to make purchasing plans and forms.
"The market price of each elixir needs to be investigated clearly in advance, the medicinal materials required for each elixir must also be clear, and the price of each medicinal material must also be clear. Only in this way can we know how much Zhishengu earns on each elixir. How many spiritual stones have he bought from us; we can also bargain with Zhishengu in a targeted manner..."
Qin Ran taught him very carefully, almost following the financial statements from his previous life.
This is very painful for Yan Yi. On the one hand, he has not taken over this position for a long time, and he has not yet figured out which elixirs are important and which elixirs are less important. As for the ingredients of the elixirs and the prices of the elixirs, he His eyes darkened and he didn't understand at all.
On the other hand, he had just taken over mathematics and could barely figure out Arabic numerals these days. Now Kieran wants him to draw tables and use tables to make statistics, which is really a bit overwhelming.
Qin Ran originally wanted to teach bar graphs, line graphs, etc., but he saw that Yan Yi was about to collapse, so he had to stop.
He patted Yan Yi on the shoulder and comforted: "There are still a few days left. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do it slowly."
"Yes." Yan Yi responded with a grimace.
Although Qin Ran said this, what Yan Yi heard was: There are only a few days left, hurry up and do it, be serious, it's too late!
He couldn't help but become more nervous.
Seeing this, Qin Ran shook his head, stood up and left.
But before he could walk back to his seat, he suddenly remembered something and went back to Yan Yi's desk. With a serious tone, he asked: "I haven't asked you yet. How about the purchase at Zhishen Valley on September 20th?" do you want to go?"
"Ah?" Yan Yi was stunned. He had already taken over this position. Didn't he want to go by default? Feng Feiyan went there every time before, until she couldn't go anymore.
"Are you going?" he replied uncertainly.
"I won't hide it from you. To tell you the truth, procurement is actually very dangerous..." Qin Ran said, "It's life-threatening."
"Are robbers rampant now?" Yan Yi asked. You just killed Feng Feiyan, but you still want to continue robbing?
"No, the danger lies elsewhere." Qin Ran said.
Yan Yi smartly stopped asking. He knew that there was something inside, and it also involved the reason why Qin Ran eliminated the original group of people in the Medicine Palm Hall. It was not something he should interfere with.
He thought for a long time and said: "You are not afraid of danger, Chief, what should I be afraid of?"
"Haha..." Qin Ran smiled and shook his head, "It's different.
"It's your choice to go or not to go. I won't force you. You don't have to answer now. Think about it carefully..."
For those whom he recognized, Kieran was extremely patient and kind.
Hearing this, Yan Yi nodded silently.
Qin Ran returned to his seat, took out his books, and started making a purchase plan. Naturally, Yan Yi, a novice, would not be able to make a purchase plan. This time he still had to make a plan himself.
He was making plans and counting spirit stones, and the more he calculated, the more heartache he felt; the more he continued with the plan, the more he discovered how much a sect like Zhishengu could earn spirit stones.
For example, a Qi Gathering Pill requires about twenty spirit stones, but a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill can buy twenty spirit stones. If the Qi Gathering Pill is successfully refined, it can produce seven Eight Qi Gathering Pills.
...This is just a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill.
He was counting, but his heart ached, and he suddenly stopped writing. He sat down in his seat and asked the four deacons and disciples in the hall: "Do you four have any intention of refining elixirs?"
For these outer disciples, having a technique and a few pills is all it takes to practice. As for what path of cultivation they should take, it depends on what techniques they can acquire.
Therefore, most of the outer sects are sword cultivators and Qi cultivators, because these two professions have the lowest starting point and require the least resources.
There are few professions such as Talisman Master, Alchemist, and Formation Master that are extremely resource hungry.
Among them, especially the alchemist. Although this profession is a necessity in the cultivation world, but! The resources required to train an alchemist are massive.
The reason why Daojianmen Danfeng declined was not unrelated to the fact that it could not compete with Zhishen Valley for resources.
To sum up, becoming an alchemist is something that these outer disciples dare not even think about. Then, now Qin Ran asked them if they wanted to learn alchemy...
Who doesn’t want to learn alchemy? !
Especially Zhou Fu!
This was what she was waiting for. She wanted to join the Medicine Palm Hall at all costs just to be able to become Qin Ran's disciple and learn alchemy.
So when Qin Ran said these words, she immediately said: "Sir, I want to learn alchemy!"
As soon as she spoke, the medicine hall became quiet, and no one said anything.
Qin Ran looked at her, this "grandma" with a beautiful face.
In fact, Zhou Fu's appearance is quite good. In the world of monks, she is considered to be of average appearance. But compared to Qin Ran, he is too old...
Of course, age is never a big deal in the cultivation world.
"What is your cultivation level?" Qin Ran asked.
"Late stage of foundation building."
Qin Ran nodded. Foundation building can refine a series of urgently needed elixirs such as foundation building pills, Qi gathering pills, and fasting pills, which are worth cultivating.
"In addition to medicinal materials, have you learned to refine pills before?" Qin Ran asked again. The previous test questions mainly tested medicinal materials.
"I can prepare some simple medicines for healing diseases and injuries by myself."
That means you have never refined pills. Qin Ran understood. He asked again: "Do you understand pharmacology?"
Zhou Fu hesitated and shook her head.
Qin Ran took out a simple pharmacology book from his Qiankun bag, threw it to her, and said:
"After I come back from Zhishen Valley, I will examine you. If you pass, I will teach you the art of alchemy."
Zhou Fu took the book, and was so happy that she wanted to bow down and call him master, but she had some shame, so she just clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"What about you?"
Wu Yan and Zheng Jue were silent, neither saying they were willing nor unwilling.
Who doesn't want to learn alchemy?
But they were afraid that there was a trick, which meant that Zhou Fu would go first and they would wait and see.
Yan Yi stood up and saluted, saying, "I will listen to the arrangements of the Master."
Qin Ran looked at Wu Yan and Zheng Jue, with a smile on his face, and didn't say much, just said, "You two can talk about it later!"
He also said to Yan Yi, "You should make a good purchase plan first, and don't worry about other things."
The three of them saluted and said yes.
