Chapter 73 War Letter
"Did you write it wrong?" Ning Pingan said in disbelief.
You should know that Zheng Yuan's Qingling Yulu Pills claim to increase the chance of breakthrough by ten percent, which has already surprised people and is highly popular.
This thirty percent is simply incredible.
There are pills that can increase the probability of level breaking within the realm of warriors by 30%.
But those elixirs are all at least advanced, and the medicinal materials they consume are very precious, and the cost is frighteningly high. Usually only the children of top aristocratic families can afford to use them.
As for a small town like Xichuan City, don’t even think about it.
But now, the medicinal ingredients of Lin Mu's Yuan-Buying Transformation Pill are very common, and the cost is about the same as ordinary low-level pills.
It can be said that Lin Mu used the cost of low-grade elixirs to create civilian elixirs that have the effects of high-grade elixirs.
"Is that correct? I will go to the alchemy room to refine a batch now. You will know after testing it."
Lin Mu didn't take it seriously either.
His fundamental purpose in providing this prescription was that he also wanted these elixirs.
For the orphans Lin Yun adopted, he wanted them to enjoy the treatment of those children from martial arts families since they were young, and to build a solid foundation for them.
Entering the alchemy room, Lin Mu was able to refine the elixir smoothly based on his experience last time.
Because Wu Qingyun's alchemy memory was integrated in his mind, he acted like a master.
Even Mr. Xu, who liked to argue with Lin Mu, became silent and watched Lin Mu refining the pill attentively.
Ning Ping'an, who was already keen on refining elixirs, was even more shocked and fascinated by it.
Although shocked, Ning Pingan was not surprised.
As early as when Lin Mu refined the pill-level elixir, he regarded Lin Mu as a senior expert with white hair and white beard, and believed that he must be a real alchemy master.
Now that Lin Mu showed his alchemy skills, he admired Lin Mu even more.
Lin Mu ignored the surrounding atmosphere. When he was immersed in alchemy, his expression was particularly focused.
As a small person, he does not have the wealth background of those children of big forces. No matter what he wants, he has to get it with his own hands.
Pills are an indispensable necessity for warriors. He does not have the financial resources to buy them, so he can only refine them himself.
At the same time, after becoming an alchemist, he can also convert elixirs into financial resources to exchange for other needed items, such as spiritual stones, martial arts, weapons, etc.
What's more, alchemy itself is a way that should not be underestimated.
Wu Qingyun relied on the method of alchemy to reach the point of Broken Void.
In today's world, there are also many pure alchemists who possess powerful power and can control the wind and rain.
This time the elixir refining took less time than refining the health elixir, and it was completed in half a quarter of an hour.
The last time was Lin Mu's first contact with alchemy, so he was naturally a little unfamiliar and wasted a lot of time.
"Shopkeeper, it's up to you to turn on the stove." Lin Mu smiled slightly.
"Me? Can I do it?" Lin Xiaowan asked nervously. Although she was the shopkeeper of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion, she had never been exposed to alchemy.
"The elixir has been prepared, it's just a matter of starting the furnace." Lin Mu said calmly.
At that moment, it was decided that Lin Xiaowan would start the fire. Mr. Xu and Ning Ping'an both stared at her hands closely.
Lin Xiaowan had been the shopkeeper for a short time, and he was much more decisive. He quickly opened the medicine cauldron without much hesitation.
The light fragrance hits your nose, and what's even more shocking is that there are ten green pills in the medicine cauldron.
"Ten pills, 100% chance of becoming a pill!" Mr. Xu and Ning Ping'an's eyes almost bulged out.
A furnace of elixirs requires ten ingredients, and Lin Mu actually refined ten elixirs.
Lin Mu moved very quickly and picked up the medicine bottle that had been prepared. His hands were like phantoms and he put all ten pills into the medicine bottle.
At this time, Mr. Xu contacted the last scene and suddenly remembered an even more incredible possibility.
"Here's a pill for you to identify." Lin Mu took out a pill without him asking.
Mr. Xu couldn't wait to observe the result of his quick eyesight and quick hands.
The truth was just as he had guessed. In the middle of the pill, a subtle dark blue undulating line stood out.
"Danwen." Ning Ping'an looked solemn, with sincere admiration in his eyes.
The lower the level of the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine the elixir pattern.
He had been refining elixirs in the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion for two months, and he had only refined elixir patterns once due to an accidental outburst of character.
But look at the black-robed senior, he has elixir marks every time he makes a move.
"Other pills?" Mr. Xu turned his eyes to the medicine bottle in Lin Mu's hand.
Lin Mu knew that the old man would not give up until he figured it out, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to show his value.
The bottle cap was opened, and nine pill-level elixirs of the same color suddenly came into view.
"Hiss!" Ning Pingan took a breath, his eyes no longer showed admiration, but enthusiasm.
In the past, he knew that Lin Mu had refined pill-level elixirs, but he didn't know that he had refined them all at once. Now that he saw it, he was simply astonished.
"Seeing you refining elixirs, I really feel that other alchemists are useless." Mr. Xu said with emotion, "Refining elixirs with elixir patterns turns out to be just an ordinary level for you."
If Lin Mu had refined nine elixirs last time, he would have thought it was luck, but now he would no longer think so.
Ning Ping'an secretly smiled bitterly after hearing this. Other alchemists all regarded the alchemy pattern as an honor, but it was better for the black-robed senior to have the alchemy pattern casually.
"Based on the ability of seniors to easily refine the elixir pattern, there is no need to test the efficacy of the elixir." Ning Ping'an said sincerely.
"You still have to check it carefully afterwards."
Lin Mu waved his hand, "I will keep one of these ten pills, and leave the other nine here. You can use them for research and auction."
Now that he is the boss, he no longer has to worry about Yaoge.
To copy the elixir from the Immortal Gourd, he only needs one as a sample, and the other nine are of little value to him.
"Seriously?" Mr. Xu was very excited. He didn't expect Lin Mu to be so generous.
Lin Mu was too lazy to answer this question and said calmly: "Pack a hundred copies of the medicinal materials for the Bu Yuan Zhuan Ling Dan for me. There are also these medicinal materials, star flower, cold blood ginseng, three-color mushroom, magic heart vine, tiger bone, dragon Zhicao, Fengyunhua... try to get me a hundred copies, no less than ten."
"Senior, what do you want?" Ning Ping'an asked curiously and respectfully.
"When dealing with people, I think we should be clear about grievances and grudges. If people respect me an inch, I will respect others a foot. If someone bullies me, I will repay them a foot."
Lin Mu said with a cold light in his eyes, "Ruyi Medicine Pavilion is so aggressive, how can we let them go so easily? Since we want to compete, we must defeat them all at once."
Ning Ping'an's young man's blood was also aroused, and he excitedly asked: "What are you going to do, senior?"
"Leave the rest to me. Your first priority now is to refine the Replenishing Energy and Transformation Pill. Other than that, you should go and write a letter of challenge to Mr. Ruyi Yao."
"A letter of challenge?" Now both Mr. Xu and Lin Xiaowan were interested.
"Yes, tell Ruyi Medicine Pavilion and see you at the Autumn Leaf Store in seven days."
Lin Mu's voice was calm, "Everything depends on the sales volume of the elixir."
"This..." Ning Ping'an hesitated, "Senior, I have absolutely no doubt about your alchemy skills, but Qingling Yulu Pill has almost dominated the market in the past month."
"Also, Alchemist Zheng Yuan's reputation is extremely stable in Xichuan City. He has been famous for more than ten years. It is a bit difficult to compare sales with them."
After hearing this, Mr. Xu and Lin Xiaowan did not refute.
Ruyi Medicine Pavilion accounts for at least 80% of the elixir market in Xichuan City.
The last time the health elixir was able to surpass Ruyi Yao Pavilion in auction price, it was just a surprise, but in terms of total sales, it was still far behind some of Yi Yao Pavilion's classic elixirs.
But this time, Qingling Yulu Pills have been selling like crazy for a month. In terms of sales volume, it can be classified as a classic elixir. None of the people present thought that it was a wise choice to compete with Ruyi Medicine Pavilion for sales.
"I have my own way." Lin Mu said calmly.
In terms of reputation and fame, he is far behind Zheng Yuan, but he also has a huge advantage, that is, the memories passed down by Wu Qingyun in his mind are something Zheng Yuan does not have.
In those memories, there were many magical things in the "Earth World". Lin Mu felt that if those things were applied to this world, they would have extraordinary effects.
"Do you know anyone with business talent in Xichuan City?" Lin Mu asked.
Mr. Xu and Ning Ping'an didn't know Lin Mu's plans, but the other party was also the owner of the Medicine Pavilion, so they couldn't dissuade him after he made a decision.
"A person with business talent?" Mr. Xu thought, "There is indeed one."
"Could it be that Mr. Xu is talking about Tang Xixi?" Ning Ping'an said with a smile.
"Tang Xixi?" Lin Mu said with surprise.
"Senior, I'm afraid I don't know. Originally, my Ning family chose Tang Xixi as the shopkeeper of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion. However, she was not interested in this traditional industry, so she recommended shopkeeper Lin."
Ning Ping'an explained.
"Make an appointment with her for me, and I will come to Fengchi Medicine Pavilion tomorrow morning." Lin Mu couldn't help but think of the scene where Tang Xixi trained Ye Fengwu until she became furious. This little witch might really have business acumen.
Before leaving, Lin Mu did not forget about business and took away all the dividends from the Health Pill some time ago.
When he received the dividend, he was really shocked. In two months, the health pill actually sold 3,000 copies, totaling 300,000 gold coins.
Pills are different from other commodities. Few people use them in each city. For example, Xichuan City has a population of 200,000, but only 10,000 people can afford to buy pills.
Therefore, the sales volume of health-preserving pills is definitely a big number.
According to the contract originally signed, Lin Mu had the right to withdraw 180,000 gold coins from it.
However, he only wanted 30,000 gold coins, and he exchanged the other gold coins for a medicine cauldron worth 50,000 gold coins and ten spiritual stones.
After leaving the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion, Lin Mu went straight to Lin Yun's foster home.
With Lin Yun's horrified eyes, he gave the other party 20,000 gold coins, leaving only 10,000 for himself.
Afterwards, Lin Mu left everything to Lin Yun to take care of, while he chose a room and began to refine elixirs behind closed doors.
Of course, there is no need for him to do it himself in refining the Yuan-Buying Transformation Pill.
He kept throwing the medicinal materials into the Immortal Refining Gourd and waited leisurely for the elixir to come out.
Just like last time, the elixirs refined by the Immortal Gourd were all of the elixir level, and twelve pills were released at one time.
Now that he has become a warrior, his true energy is durable and the number of times he uses the Immortal Refining Gourd has also increased.
The elixir comes out of the furnace every half a quarter of an hour, and it only takes two and a half hours until all the ingredients are used up.
And in his hand, he already had one hundred and twenty pill-level pills to replenish the energy and transform the spirit.
These elixirs are suitable for warriors to take, and have little effect on him as a warrior.
Opening the door, he immediately called Lin Yun.
"Take these pills, practice them yourself, and divide them into the children below according to the situation." Lin Mu handed all ten pill bottles to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was completely stunned when he saw these pills.
Ten medicine bottles, one hundred and twenty pills, all of which are pill-level pills.
Nowadays, he is no longer the martial artist he used to be. These days, he often runs in the market in order to buy things for his children.
He has learned that even if the elixir-level elixir is not of high quality, if it is auctioned, each pill is worth at least a thousand gold coins.
It means that now he has a wealth of at least 100,000 gold coins in his hands.
"The Lin family's choice to abandon you is probably their biggest mistake. If one day they find out what you are capable of, I will regret it so much that my intestines will turn green." Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.
