"Success!"
Eighteen hours later.
Five medicine furnaces were used to successfully refine fifty Shiquan Dabu Pills, with each furnace yielding ten pills!
Looking at the fifty Shiquan Dabu Pills in his hand, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel happy on his face.
“The Shiquan Dabu Pills now have the potential for large-scale commercial use!”
The cost of making a batch of Shiquan Dabu Pills is about thirty-one taels, less than thirty-two taels of silver. If we calculate based on shopkeeper Chen’s average of seven pills per batch, each Shiquan pill will cost more than thirty-two taels of silver. The cost of Dabu Pill should be more than 4 taels, almost 4 and a half taels, less than 5 taels.
Of course, if you insist on saying that the cost is five taels of silver, there is no big problem. Just round it up - four will not be counted, just count it as five.
Basic operation, don’t worry about it.
The Shiquan Dabu Pills, which cost five taels of silver, were priced at eighty taels. Even with the 10% discount that Shopkeeper Chen had said before, that was still seven taels of silver.
For warriors, this price is still too high.
Although the consumption of most warriors is not as high as that of Xu Yi, and one Shiquan Dabu Pill can cover their daily consumption, their daily consumption is only three taels of silver at most.
Seven taels of silver was enough for them to spend more than two days. This was really not a very worthwhile thing for warriors who were not in a hurry.
You know, cultivation is a very long-term thing. The consumption in one day is only more than four taels, which is nothing, but in a month? What about a year? What about ten years?
That's a very huge number.
This huge consumption is there, and the market for this tonic is destined to be very bleak.
But things are different now.
Xu Yi can produce ten pills in each furnace, and unlike Shopkeeper Chen, there are fluctuations. He refines it with the help of the Memory Palace, which can 100% guarantee that each furnace can produce ten pills.
Even if someone else starts refining it, as long as there are no problems with the corresponding processes, they can still achieve 100% success in producing ten pills per furnace.
This is the benefit of memory palace-style medicine refining, or modern industrial medicine refining.
The measurement is accurate to grams, the time is accurate to seconds, the temperature is accurate to single digits, etc. If all of these are achieved, it is really not difficult at all to achieve high standards for elixir creation.
Of course, there may be some problems when others try to refine it, but as long as some small props are added, the problem should not be big. Even if there is a problem, it will only change from ten to nine complete pills, and the probability is relatively high. Small, completely negligible.
As long as we can ensure that each furnace produces ten pills, the cost of a Shiquan Dabu Pill will be directly reduced to just over thirty taels. Such a cost can be priced at five taels or even four taels of silver!
The sales volume of five taels of silver may be a little uncertain, but one piece of four taels of silver can definitely attract a large number of warriors to buy it!
In this ancient world of martial arts, warriors with powerful force are the absolute wealthy class. As long as they can attract warriors from all over the world to compete to buy, even if a Shiquan Dabu Pill only earns less than a tael of silver, it can definitely accumulate to a huge amount. of wealth!
You know, this thing is a daily necessities! You have to eat one a day!
Even if an average of only 3,000 people come to buy Shiquan Dabu Pills every day, in a year, that will still be a profit of one million taels of silver. The annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty will only be a few million taels!
No wonder shopkeeper Chen doesn't want to sell this prescription.
If this Shiquan Dabu Pill can reduce the cost and attract a large number of warriors to buy it, it will be a golden mountain!
And it can still be supplied continuously. As long as there are warriors in this world, there is no need to worry about the gold mountain being hollowed out!
Who wouldn’t be greedy for such a golden mountain?
Of course, after this golden mountain is opened, can it belong to you...
I do not know.
Anyway, Xu Yi felt that, let alone a small drugstore shopkeeper like Shopkeeper Chen, even he, together with the Xu family and the Huashan Sect behind him, would never be able to protect this golden mountain!
"Pity."
Xu Yi shook his head regretfully.
It’s really uncomfortable to have a mountain of gold right in front of you but not be able to mine it.
"If you want to excavate this golden mountain, it is estimated that you have to integrate the forces of the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect."
This kind of Jinshan, with an expected annual income of at least one million taels of silver, is not the kind of super power equivalent to Shaolin, Wudang or the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, and it is impossible to keep it.
Even for such a super power, it is very difficult to keep such a golden mountain - at least it has to make some exchanges of interests with certain people to be more stable.
It's just a little more stable, but the subsequent troubles will definitely not be small.
But once it gets to that point, it's not that difficult to solve this 'little trouble'.
As for now...
Xu Yi probably couldn't solve even those 'little troubles'.
"never mind."
Xu Yi shook his head.
If you can’t mine it, you can’t mine it!
Anyway, this golden mountain is in his hands now. As long as he has enough strength, he can mine it whenever he wants.
"On the contrary, this Shiquan Dabu Pill... seems to have room for optimization and improvement!"
The optimization and improvements mentioned by Xu Yi include not only the refining time and the number of pills, but also the prescription of Shiquan Dabu Pill itself.
"According to this prescription, it should be possible to continue to strengthen the power of Shiquan Dabu Pills while reducing the corresponding consumption of medicinal materials!"
For example, the potency of the medicine can be doubled to the point where it can support his practice for one day and the ordinary warrior's practice for two days.
Another example is to control the consumption of each batch of medicinal materials and reduce the cost of a single Shiquan Dabu Pill to less than three taels, or even two taels of silver.
If it were Shopkeeper Chen, or even any other doctor in the world, it would be almost impossible to do this - it would require too many refinings, and it would be impossible to stop it even thousands of times!
Refining Shiquan Dabu Pill once requires thirty taels of silver, thousands of times, who can afford it?
But for Xu Yi, who has a memory palace, this is not too difficult.
As long as you control various variables every time, record the data results every time, and then start serious analysis and comparison, keep the good ones and eliminate the bad ones, and so on.
At most thirty times, Xu Yi is confident that he can optimize and improve it.
"If you could really double the power of Shiquan Dabu Pills and reduce the cost of a single Shiquan Dabu Pill to two taels of silver, then this thing would be equivalent to a money printing machine! You can make as much money as you want. Print whatever you want!"
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this beautiful 'money scene'.
But when he remembered that even if he built the 'money printing machine', it would never be available, he calmed down again.
