The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 438: Strange Alchemist

Looking down from the sky, Nanxin City is full of tall buildings, wide roads, and covers a vast area. Tang Yan couldn't help but sigh: "This place is really big, several times the size of Nanhuang City."

Gao Jinsong explained with a smile: "This is the most prosperous city in the Southern Wasteland. How can it be compared to the Southern Wasteland City? Let's go down and take a look."

There was a special place for fostering spirit beasts outside the city. After Tang Yan paid the silver and sent Liu Yunpeng to foster care, the two of them headed into the city.

Only after entering the city did I truly feel the congestion.

"Great Elder, where will the exchange conference be held?" Tang Yan looked around and asked casually.

"The location of each conference has never changed. It is in Wanbao Garden." The Great Elder explained: "Wanbao Garden is a little east of the city center. It is a very large place."

"Is there a person with low strength who has good things on him but gets robbed?" Tang Yan asked curiously.

Gao Jinsong waved his hands and said, “How is this possible? The exchange conference was held by the Mo family in Nanxin City.

Although the strength of the Mohist family is not as strong as the top ten families, it is not much weaker.

The supervisors of this organization are even more powerful than the king-level experts, so there won’t be any troublemakers easily.”

King-level master!

Tang Yan was shocked. It seemed that the Mohist school really had some background.

"Why did they organize this?" Tang Yan asked.

"There are two reasons. First, it can maintain the Mo family's fame and popularity, which is beneficial to the family's development. Second, it makes money."

Gao Jinsong did not feel annoyed by Tang Yan's various questions. Instead, he really enjoyed answering Tang Yan's questions.

Ever since he met Tang Yan, Gao Jinsong has been deeply impressed by the strength and wisdom Tang Yan demonstrated.

Now that a man as talented as Brother Tang, who is both civil and military, actually wants to ask him questions, the Great Elder felt a little proud.

With this mentality, the Great Elder sometimes would not finish explaining a problem in one breath.

Tang Yan had no choice but to ask again: "How to make money?"

Gao Jinsong was very satisfied with Tang Yan's spirit of asking questions without hesitation. He continued to answer with great joy: "Do you think anyone can enter Wanbao Garden? It's not enough to just have rare treasures or silver. You have to pay the entrance fee."

Having said this, Gao Jinsong stopped again.

Tang Yan couldn't help but have a few black lines on his forehead. He continued to pretend to be studious with a dark face: "How much silver?"

"One million taels!" Gao Jinsong couldn't help but feel a little pain when he said this.

"Fuck, so many?" Tang Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Does everyone have to pay?"

Gao Jinsong nodded and said, "Everyone has to pay. If some wealthy families want to bring guards and followers, it will cost several million taels of silver. For a grand event like the Exchange Conference, there must be tens of thousands of people."

Tang Yan couldn't help but gasp. Calculated based on 10,000 people, 1 million taels of silver per person, that would be a direct income of 10 billion taels of silver!

Organizing an event can achieve multiple goals at once. The Mohists really have a business mind.

However, Tang Yan did not complain too much. After all, no one put a knife to his neck to force him to come, and the money was paid voluntarily by everyone.

The conference would not start for a few days, so the two found an inn to settle down.

The Great Elder had been to Nanxin City several times, but he was not in the mood to wander around.

Tang Yan was not in a hurry to practice, and wandered around the city alone.

I didn't deliberately go to Wanbao Garden, but chose the opposite direction and headed west.

After walking for half an hour and visiting two weapon shops, he still didn't see a whip that satisfied him. Tang Yan decided to try his luck at the exchange conference in a few days.

Just as Tang Yan was about to go back, he glanced around and saw a medicine shop.

"Fandanpu!"

Looking at such a simple name, Tang Yan smiled and had no intention of going in.

However, the sudden quarrel inside attracted Tang Yan's attention.

"Old Sun, I advise you to leave here quickly and not disrupt the medicine market in Nanxin City!" An unpleasant voice came.

Then, another old-fashioned voice responded: "What do you mean by disrupting the market? My pills are just so cheap, so what?"

"Old Sun, look at this Wanqing Pill, you only sold it for 80,000 taels of silver, which is 20,000 less than the market price.

There are so many pills, and the price is lower than the market price. Isn't this unreasonable? "The voice that was looking for trouble came again.

"Let me do the math. Under normal circumstances, the cost of the medicinal materials you need to refine Wanqing Pills would be upwards of ten thousand taels of silver.

And the cost of the medicinal materials for refining this elixir is only seven thousand taels of silver.

Low cost, low selling price, what's the problem?" The arrogant voice came again.

Tang Yan, who was originally planning to leave, stopped at this moment.

He was very familiar with Wanqing Pill, a third-level pill, whose specific function was to refine the body and temper the flesh.

If you refine the elixir normally, the minimum cost of the medicinal materials would be ten thousand taels of silver.

If you want to reduce the cost of medicinal materials, there is only one way, that is to replace expensive medicinal materials with cheaper ones.

However, it is very difficult to use this method. Not only does it have to have similar medicinal effects, but it also has to be compatible with other types of medicinal properties.

There are also extremely strict requirements on the quantity.

In short, if you want to succeed, you not only need extremely rich experience in alchemy, but also thousands of experiments.

Listening to the conversation just now, it seems that this old man Sun not only reduced the cost of Wanqing Pill, but also saved the cost of other pills?

This old man Sun seems to be no simple person!

I can do this method myself, but I have the experience of a ninth-level alchemist.

It is unbelievable that there are people in this world who can do this.

Tang Yan was not in a hurry to go in, but continued to listen to the conversation inside.

"Old Sun, your medicine shop is not big, why don't you sell the recipes of these medicines to us? Yuandan Sect can offer 20 billion taels of silver. How do you think?

Then you can move to another place and still open your medicine shop." The voice that was originally looking for trouble suddenly softened.

"No sale!" Old Sun refused bluntly, and then said impatiently: "Get out quickly, don't delay my business today."

"I say, Old Sun, how can you be so ungrateful?

You are just a third-level alchemist, and you are still alone. Even if you don't eat or drink for your entire life, how long will it take you to earn 20 billion taels of silver?

I'll just give you the money and you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life. Why do you have to keep the recipe? Besides, what's the point of having the recipe?"

"Who said that my pill formula is useless? I will recruit some disciples in a few days, and then this pill formula will be of great use." Old Sun still remained unmoved by the other party's lobbying.

Tang Yan sighed inwardly. After going through so many twists and turns in his relationship, he still fell in love with the other person's pill recipe.

From what that person said, this old man Sun was just a third-level alchemist and didn't have any apprentices. When he said he wanted to take in an apprentice, his tone was definitely angry.

It would take a long time for such a person to earn 20 billion taels of silver. What's the point of him keeping this recipe?

For a moment, Tang Yan was extremely confused.
