Chapter 4 The most expensive thing on the continent is the pill formula.
Chapter 4 The most expensive thing on the continent is the pill formula.
Chu Feng said calmly, "What I'm about to say is not convenient to reveal in public. Are you sure you want me to say it here?"
When trading with Danlou, it's natural to reveal some pill formulas.
Each of these elixir formulas is extremely precious. No one is willing to reveal them publicly.
"You're nothing but trash, you have no strength whatsoever, yet you dare to play tricks on me at my Pill Pavilion!" the man in the long robe shouted angrily, trying to attack as he did so.
With just one word from Wu Heng, he would tear Chu Feng to shreds!
"Bang!" To everyone's surprise, Wu Heng kicked the man away without hesitation.
How much power does a kick from someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining have? This person was sent flying directly outside the Pill Tower, crashing to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Wu Heng coldly said, "Do you think I'm blind? A guest needs to meet with me for a transaction, and you actually try to stop him? This is utterly lawless! From today onwards, you two get out of the Pill Pavilion! If you dare to step into the Pill Pavilion even half a step, you will be executed without mercy!"
Wu Heng is an old monster who has lived for a very long time. What doesn't he understand? What can't he see through?
Although Chu Feng had no cultivation, he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. Not only was he not afraid of his imposing aura, but he also spoke slowly and deliberately, indicating that this person had something to rely on.
This person dared to make a big move, so he must know that Danlou wouldn't make things difficult for him. Why would Danlou let him cause such a scene and then turn a blind eye? He must have some leverage.
The servants usually act like bullies, relying on their master's power, but he just hasn't had time to deal with them. If they really infringe on Danlou's interests, he will absolutely not tolerate it.
Besides, he's already out, and this guy is still shouting on the side. It's simply deceiving his superiors and tarnishing the reputation of Danlou. Are all the people in the hall blind?
Chu Feng nodded secretly. This person was reasonable enough and could distinguish right from wrong. If that was the case, then they could do business with him. If this person was like the others, then it would be a one-off deal.
"Someone, clean up the area! You come with me." Wu Heng glanced at Chu Feng, then gave instructions in a certain direction before turning and going upstairs.
With no excitement to be seen, the crowd in the hall dispersed. Chu Feng ignored them and followed Wu Heng up to the third floor.
Ordinary guests are received by servants or managers, but important clients, such as heads of households, are personally received by the head of Danlou.
If word got out that Wu Heng personally received Chu Feng, it would definitely surprise everyone.
"You can tell me what you want to say. If you dare to play me, you know the consequences."
After sitting down in the armchair, Wu Heng didn't invite Chu Feng to sit down. He was just a young punk, yet he dared to talk about some big deal. If he couldn't give a clear explanation, he wouldn't be leaving today.
Chu Feng straightened his clothes before calmly taking out a piece of paper and handing it over: "Master Wu is really in a hurry. Take a look at this first."
After saying that, Chu Feng sat down opposite Wu Heng and closed his eyes to rest.
"Marrow Nourishing Pill!" Wu Heng was so shocked by just one glance that he stood up!
"Where did you get your recipe for the Marrow Nourishing Pill?" Wu Heng quickly went to the door and closed it.
The Marrow Nourishing Pill is a pill that can solve the foundation of a cultivator. Although its grade is only second grade, it has long been lost. Wu Heng has lived to such an old age and has only heard of the Marrow Nourishing Liquid. He has never heard of where to buy the Marrow Nourishing Pill!
What is most important in a monk's life?
Of course, it's about the foundation! Without a strong foundation, no matter how many resources you have, you can't cultivate to a high level!
Just like building a house, if the foundation is not solid, the house will collapse after it reaches a certain height!
However, with the Marrow Nourishing Pill, things are different. The Marrow Nourishing Pill can solve the problem of unstable foundations for all cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage!
With enough marrow-nourishing pills, one can solidify their foundation and reach higher levels!
If word of this elixir were to get out, it would definitely cause a bloodbath!
At this moment, Wu Heng was even considering killing Chu Feng!
"Master Wu, do you intend to silence me?"
Chu Feng didn't even raise his head before coldly asking.
Wu Heng stared intently at Chu Feng without even raising his head, yet he knew that if he wanted to silence him, this man must be a monster in mind.
Chu Feng opened his eyes and said leisurely, "I am unwell and cannot cultivate. My master went to find spiritual herbs for me. Before he left, he gave me a few pill formulas and told me to exchange some things to recuperate first."
If Master Wu were to consider silencing someone for a mere pill formula, that would be a very unwise move.
Wu Heng clenched and unclenched his fists several times before finally suppressing his thoughts. Sure enough, this person had come prepared.
Since it was Chu Feng's master who provided the pill formula, even if he silences Chu Feng, the matter will still leak out, and it might even ruin the reputation of the Pill Tower.
Are alchemists easy to mess with? Especially someone who can produce the formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill?
Wu Heng finally managed to calm himself down. He had decided that whatever Chu Feng asked for, he would agree to it. With the recipe for the Marrow Nourishing Pill, even if he wanted to enter the Pill Tower, it wouldn't be impossible!
In a daze, Wu Heng seemed to see countless resources beckoning to him.
Chu Feng stretched out his hand and waved it, saying calmly, "Master Wu, you're so surprised by a mere formula for a Marrow Nourishing Pill?"
Wu Heng's private room was decorated extremely luxuriously, with several kinds of Light Spirit Fruit on the table. This guy really knows how to enjoy himself. Chu Feng took two without hesitation and stuffed them into his mouth.
A surge of rich spiritual energy exploded within Chu Feng's abdomen, then flowed to his limbs and bones. Unfortunately, his meridians were blocked and broken in many places, and most of the spiritual energy was absorbed by the Primordial Devouring Heaven Scripture.
"Young friend Chu, how would you like to trade this Marrow Cleansing Pill?" A look of surprise flashed in Wu Heng's eyes.
Wu Heng decided that he would personally go to the prefectural city in a few days to meet with the master of the Danlou Pavilion and report what had happened there.
The Tianwu Continent has five major domains. Each domain's domain lord governs ten kingdoms. Each kingdom has ten prefecture cities. Each prefecture city governs ten county cities. Each county city governs ten county towns.
Julu City is just a county town; above it is the prefectural city, and above the prefectural city is the county town. With the Marrow Nourishing Pill, Wu Heng will also have the opportunity to go to the Pill Tower in the county town. If things go well, it's not impossible for him to get into the Pill Tower in the future.
The formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill was Wu Heng's stepping stone. Although the formula was only of the second grade, it was a lost formula with immense value. If handled properly, it could make him extremely wealthy.
Chu Feng tapped the table with his finger and said, "I don't think you can refine this Marrow Nourishing Pill, but you can try to refine it first. I have a list here. I need a thousand of each kind of spiritual herb. Give me ten thousand low-grade spirit stones first."
Furthermore, the formula for this Marrow Cleansing Pill can be given to you, but it will be through a cooperative arrangement, not a buyout.
Wu Heng glanced at the receipt and immediately jumped up: "What!? You're asking for the moon! Ten thousand spirit stones! You should know that in a small place like Julu City, even your Su family's annual income wouldn't exceed three thousand spirit stones!"
The dozen or so spiritual herbs on your list are all level two spiritual herbs. Each level two spiritual herb is worth more than five hundred gold coins, and some even exceed one thousand gold coins.
All these materials you have will cost at least 30 million gold coins. It takes 10,000 gold coins to exchange for one low-grade spirit stone, which means you will need at least 13,000 low-grade spirit stones!
"And even so, you still just sold the pill formula directly to my Pill Pavilion!"
Wu Heng was so angry that his beard trembled. Exchanging gold coins for spirit stones was already a discount. By all accounts, Chu Feng was simply going too far.
If it weren't for his fear of Chu Feng's alchemist master, he would have wanted to kill Chu Feng outright!
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Master Wu, you're in business. How much profit can you make after your pill shop promotes the formula for the Marrow Cleansing Pill to the entire continent?"
Besides, Julu City is just a tiny place. How much profit can a prefecture city, county city, imperial city, or even a regional city possibly generate?
"I only asked for this little bit, and you're getting all excited? My master is a fifth-grade alchemist; this Marrow Nourishing Pill is just an appetizer! You'd better think it over!"
Chu Feng patiently persuaded him; he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, how could Wu Heng possibly outmaneuver him?
Of course, Chu Feng wasn't lying; the Marrow Nourishing Pill was indeed just an appetizer.
If he wants to cultivate, he needs to constantly seek resources, and the Pill Tower is a good partner.
Wu Heng's expression was uncertain. After a long pause, he solemnly said, "If Young Friend Chu's master can come up with some good pill formulas, then we can talk. I wonder when Young Friend Long's master will return?"
With the Pill Tower covering the entire continent, promoting the Marrow Nourishing Pill would be a piece of cake. The profits are indeed terrifyingly large, and Wu Heng is simply trying to maximize his profits.
Chu Feng was right. None of the people here could refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, because in the entire Pill Tower branch, only Wu Heng and the deputy tower master Jiang Ping'an were second-grade alchemists, while Hu Liren was only a first-grade alchemist.
If Chu Feng's master is willing to help refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, then this condition is quite worthwhile.
Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "Lord Wu, my master is a fifth-grade alchemist. He doesn't have time to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill for you. However, I can refine some for you in ten days. So, you won't lose out on this offer at all."
Wu Heng jumped up in surprise again: "You refine pills? Are you kidding me? You don't even have the cultivation level of Qi Refining, how can you refine pills?"
Chu Feng started bluffing again: "Do you know why my master took me as his disciple? It's because my soul power is strong, and I'm naturally suited for alchemy. Otherwise, where can a fifth-grade alchemist not find a disciple?"
Wu Heng stared at Chu Feng for several moments before asking doubtfully, "Your soul power is strong?"
Chu Feng said, "Of course. Although I haven't reached the Qi Refining stage yet, under my master's guidance, I can already refine ordinary first-grade pills."
Having strong soul power is indeed beneficial for alchemy, because the key to alchemy lies in whether the soul power is sufficient. Whether it is controlling fire, purifying medicinal materials, or the subsequent processes of melting, pulling, and separating the pills, all require soul power.
Of course, one cannot refine pills if one's strength is too weak. Chu Feng is able to refine low-grade pills of only the first rank because he possesses the remnant soul of a Martial Emperor.
Otherwise, is Brother Chu really a useless piece of trash?
