With the help of Long Fushi, the two of them naturally got high scores in the exam easily. Fei Danqing also kept his promise. As long as the disciples who passed the exam, the credits they received would far exceed the cost of borrowing books.
Seeing that he had regained a lot of "hard-earned money", his face was as bright as a flower. With these funds, Qingyun's life in Zhijing Cave can be considered as starting.
Things have changed in the blink of an eye, and a few months have passed, and the seasons in Zhijing Cave have also changed from cool autumn to severe winter. Because Hua Yumian was banned and Feng Yuexian ran away, their wedding was temporarily postponed and postponed.
Although he still did not have the opportunity to enter the concubine's back courtyard of Xingzhi Palace, Qingyun also seized all the time to eagerly study all kinds of knowledge related to spiritual materials, including various alchemy techniques.
In order to be able to help Qingyun in Zhijing Cave, Long Fushi grew very fast, and it didn't take long for his alchemy attainments to keep pace with Qingyun.
She even used her original method of "reducing efficiency and increasing production" to refine the elixir several times.
However, as Mr. Fei said at the beginning, using this ingenious method can indeed greatly increase the output, but after the effect is weakened, the value of the elixir itself will also plummet.
After taking into account the costs, the profit they can make is minimal.
But Mr. Fei seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago. The large amount of low-level spiritual materials produced by Wangjiacun perfectly filled the loopholes they currently lacked.
As long as Qingyun didn't have classes, he took Long Fushi to soak in the medicine fields in Wangjiacun, and selected the most effective elixirs based on the cultivation knowledge he had learned.
Later, he almost risked violating the ban and taught everything he learned in class to Long Fu Shi, so that she and he could become a "virtuous couple" in alchemy.
Of course, the one who deserves the greatest credit for this is the village chief Wang Youzhi, because his elder brother basically puts all the chores on his shoulders, and the young man himself comfortably becomes a hands-off shopkeeper, so that he can free up So much time to tinker.
Mr. Fei once said that he could handle the spiritual materials in the fields of Wangjia Village by himself, but after weighing the matter, Qingyun still followed Long Fushi's suggestion and tried his best to use these spiritual materials for elixir making.
You may be able to make a profit by reselling, but such squandering will definitely greatly improve your alchemy level. In this way, the immediate losses and future gains will seem insignificant, not to mention that the elixirs you refine can also be the same as those of the sect. in exchange for credits.
Originally, the young man was still thinking about the reward that Mr. Fei promised to write poems to Long. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he didn't get anything. He was too embarrassed to go to Mr. Fei alone to ask for it. Later, he learned about it when he heard about Long Fu's poems. .
It turned out that the so-called "reward" was handed out the next day, and it was his jade medal that had been enhanced!
"I agreed to give it to you, but why did it change to giving it to me?"
The young man didn't understand Mr. Fei's intention, but Long Fushi's beautiful eyes blinked and said:
"I think it might be because of my status. If I were rewarded with a small follower, the sect would probably be able to talk, and it might also attract unnecessary attention and trouble."
"Hey, you're in big trouble then."
Smiling indifferently, Long Fushi's eyes were as tender as water:
"It doesn't matter, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
Although Qingyun has not found any other functions besides communication, the phrase "no difference between each other" in Long Fu's poem really made the young master feel sweet in his heart for several days.
Next, Wang Youzhi also reminded Qingyun that Yan Fei Lao also left a message, saying that if he had any extra elixirs for refining, he could contact Chongguan who used to work at Xuming Tower and sell them to him. There is a good price.
"By the way, Chongguan, I almost forgot about this kid."
Qingyun patted his forehead and finally remembered the kind-hearted cultivator from back then.
After returning to Xuming Tower, the young master found that the person sitting in the hall had actually changed. After asking around for a while, he found out that Chongguan had completed his work and returned to Yuquan Cave.
"I didn't know about the communication function before, and I didn't leave any contact information. Yuquan Cave is so big, where can I find it?"
Fortunately, Qingyun was lucky. Chongguan didn't run around after returning to Yuquan Cave. He just studied and practiced honestly, so he easily found Chongguan in the disciple dormitory of Yuquan Cave.
Seeing that it was Qingyun who came to visit, Chongguan was surprised at first, and then an expression of extreme joy bloomed on his young face, as if he had met his long-lost brothers, which made the disciples of the nearby Yuquan Cave puzzled.
"What kind of illness does Chongguan have? Why are you so polite to a good-for-nothing from Jiangyundong?"
"God knows, I guess it's because I've been working in Xuming Tower for a long time, and the layout has become smaller."
The harsh discussion continued, and both of them could hear it, but Chongguan didn't pay attention at all. He took Qingyun's hand and dragged him into the room, which also made the young man feel a little moved in his heart.
After all, after living for a period of time, he clearly understood what kind of identity and status the disciples of Jiangyundong had in the entire Zhijing Cave.
Even the disciples who were born in Jiangyundong, were promoted to the two palaces through their own efforts, or were transferred to other caves to study, were not considered outstanding figures in the eyes of local monks.
This was Qingyun's first time visiting the disciple dormitories of other caves. Looking around, he found that the rooms in Yuquan Cave were not as spacious as those in Jiangyun Cave, and the furniture inside was also very old.
"The hardware facilities are really a bit like treating everyone equally."
The young master laughed at himself nonsensically, of course, this may also have something to do with the display racks of various spiritual materials placed in Chongguan's house.
"Brother Qingyun, long time no see!"
Arrangements were made to sit down enthusiastically, and Chongguan quickly boiled water and made tea.
"Brother Chong, there is no need to be so polite. Today I..."
"Oh~ It's all my fault. Last time we agreed to talk about it some other time. But after I came back, I was busy reporting on work and studying for exams. I put it off again and again. Brother, I have to make amends. Today Please have a nice drink."
The young master was interrupted by Chong Guan before he finished speaking. Just as he was about to speak again, new tea was served, which made him quite flattered.
Youdao is polite to many people, so it's not strange to be treated so politely. Qingyun couldn't say much. After Chongguan formally sat down and exchanged greetings with each other, he officially got to the point:
"Brother Chong, we have a long time to drink. There are many opportunities. I came here today to ask about something."
"Haha, but it doesn't matter. Brother, I know everything and can't say anything."
Chongguan smiled heartily.
He was originally in his mid-twenties, with handsome features and a slim figure. He had an elegance similar to Qingyun, but now that he has left his position, he looks even more generous and heroic.
"It's like this. After I entered school, my hands were itching unbearably. I happened to have recently practiced some low-level elixirs and wanted to sell them. I heard that Mr. Fei said that Brother Chong can arrange the acquisition. I don't know..."
Hearing this, Chongguan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qingyun for a long while before saying with a wry smile:
"Brother Qingyun, you...hey, no, blame me, blame me!
"What's wrong, Brother Chong?"
The young man asked without knowing why.
"It's okay, no problem, just keep it with me!"
"Brother Chong, please speak directly if you have anything to say. If it is difficult to handle, I will never embarrass brother Chong."
Qingyun doesn't want to owe favors casually.
"It's not difficult to handle, it's not difficult to handle, haha."
Chongguan smiled again, filled Qingyun's cup of tea and then explained.
It turns out that this kid completed the recruitment work at the end of Qingyun's first semester and returned to Yuquan Cave to study again. Now he is no longer on duty. If he is still in Xuming Building, he will definitely be able to give Qingyun the most affordable price.
But now that I have left my post...
But in the subsequent conversation, Chongguan still patted his chest and gave Qingyun a guarantee.
He said that whether it was handed over to the sect or through other means, he would definitely sell all the elixirs and would never let the young master suffer any loss, which made Qingyun quite embarrassed.
But when Qingyun took out a handful of black Naqi Pills from his arms like a treasure, the expression on Chongguan's face was extremely wonderful.
"This is...Naqi pill?"
"Ha...haha...it's the Naqi Pill."
Qingyun is also a little embarrassed. The simplest elixir he practices most currently is the simplest elixir. Of course, there are also slightly higher-end ones like Shengji Powder and Shenfu Decoction. He is still studying with Long Fushi how to " Reduce efficiency and increase production.”
But the premise is that you also have to look at the selling price, because if it is too low, it is better to keep it for yourself.
"Brother Qingyun, this Naqi pill..."
"The spiritual energy is not strong, is it?"
Looking at Chong Guan's strange eyes, a trace of embarrassed blush flashed across the young man's face.
"Yes, and the appearance... haha... is indeed a bit... not good."
The honest Chong Guan searched hard, and he couldn't find a more euphemistic adjective in his stomach that was not full of ink.
"Haha, it's like this. Some of the younger brothers are not very familiar with it. After trying it for the first time, they made some inferior elixirs. Although the effectiveness may not be satisfactory, the advantage is the large quantity. As for the price, it is all up to Brother Chong. "
The meaning of what I said is very obvious. You help me watch the sale, and you decide how much commission you get.
Ji Qian Chongguan did not reply immediately. He only said that Brother Qingyun left a few pills for him to study and then go to Jiangyun Cave to gather in a few days.
In response, Qingyun naturally smiled and agreed, then took out his reddish-brown jade identity card and asked Chongguan:
"My younger brother has just upgraded the authority of the jade medal recently. Brother Lao Chong left a mark on the jade medal, so you don't have to come all the way to Jiangyun Cave. You can just send a message to me directly."
"What? Can you be summoned?"
Chong Guan was greatly shocked by this.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"No...it's nothing. Mr. Fei also opened this for you?"
"Well, that's right."
Qingyun lowered his head with the shyness of a young man, while Chongguan's eyes became more profound.
Later, during the conversation with him, Qingyun learned that Mr. Fei had already taken away the Blood Toad Heart-protecting Pill that he had handed over to the sect for "examination."
"To be honest, my alchemy talent doesn't need to be compared to poetry. No wonder this old man takes good care of me."
At this point, Qingyun finally understood why Fei Danqing always looked at him differently.
