I forced the master to be the leader

Chapter 2 The matter of buying a pill furnace is covered by the disciples
Back in the alchemy room in the north courtyard, the ore elder had already tidied himself up from top to bottom.

The topknot on the top of the master's head was also put back into place, and the vitality of the "Lord of the First Peak" of Xiaodan Peak has recovered a bit.

Jiang Daqiao handed over the materials that Master wanted to buy and the remaining silver taels from the baggage to the ore elder.

"Master, this time you told me to go to the county to find someone to repair the alchemy furnace, and I will report to you one by one!"

"Yes yes yes, look at your master's memory... Can this pill furnace be repaired?"

As soon as the alchemy furnace was mentioned, the ore elder heaved a long sigh, got up and walked to the front of the furnace.

This is a five-foot-high alchemy furnace with three-legged animal ears.

The body of the furnace is engraved with complex patterns of good birds, auspicious animals, and it is difficult to find a thin crack on the bronze furnace tire without careful inspection.

This crack was caused by the sudden explosion of the chamber when the master and apprentice were refining alchemy last month.

It is worth mentioning that alchemy is a long-standing traditional advantage of Xiaodanfeng, and "Xiaodanfeng" is named after it.

According to Jiang Daqiao's knowledge, although the Xiaodan Peak is a small peak in the outer gate, the scale and output of the self-built small alchemy room are far inferior to the big alchemy furnace in Tiejianmen.

But the elixir refined by Xiaodanfeng is known to all Qi refiners who have eaten it...

The appearance is a little rough, but the effect is very unique, especially the vitality pill refined by the ore elders...

It is also loved by the gas refiners who have eaten it.

Although Xiaodan Peak is declining day by day, grass has grown on the path outside the courtyard, but occasionally a few elders from the inner sect come to visit Xiaodan Peak.

These guests are of course not looking for the peak master here to discuss matters, but to ask for a few pills to go back.

Jiang Daqiao guessed that Xiao Danfeng has not been expelled from the sect so far, probably...

A large part of the reason is due to the elixir refined by the ore elders.

However, recently, there have been a series of accidents at Xiaodan Peak, and this good-looking pill furnace suddenly exploded.

That's why the ore elder had no choice but to send Jiang Daqiao down the mountain to find the smith who repaired the alchemy furnace.

"When this disciple came to the county town this time, he asked someone to find a loose cultivator. He has repaired swords and swords for three generations and helped others repair alchemy furnaces. But people said,

After the alchemy furnace is repaired, it is always different from the new furnace. If the fire is not properly controlled when refining alchemy in the future, there is still a risk of explosion. "

The ore elder sighed:

"Hey, what should I do? I heard from your master that this pill furnace has been passed down to him for the fourth generation.

It has been fine all the time, why did it blow up the furnace when it was in the hands of Wei Shi? "

"Master, don't worry, this disciple actually has a better idea than cultivating the alchemy furnace..."

"Hmm...what's the idea?"

The ore elder raised his head to look at his disciple, and there was a gleam of light in his cloudy eyes.

"This disciple went to the county town, and specifically went to the Southern Boundary Trading Company to find someone to inquire about, and the Xuan-level pill furnace does have this kind of congenital defect.

Once the fire is not well controlled, the bomb will explode, so now on the Nantu continent,

But all alchemists with a little bit of strength set up earth-level alchemy furnaces..."

"Earth-level alchemy furnace is naturally good, and I know it as a teacher. The problem is that our small alchemy peak is already tight.
Where can I take out such a large sum of money to buy an earth-level alchemy furnace? "

Elder Miner stroked his beard and sighed again. He had seen the earth-level alchemy furnace mentioned by Jiang Daqiao in the alchemy room of the Zongmen.

You don’t even need a bellows when making alchemy, good guy, the firepower is really big and stable...

The most powerful thing is that when using an earth-level alchemy furnace to make alchemy, the alchemist can use spiritual power to automatically control the temperature of the fire. There are very few cases of "blurred alchemy" and "gasified alchemy". .

But this kind of earth-level alchemy furnace has one biggest shortcoming...

expensive.

The market price of a genuine prefecture-level alchemy furnace is at least 1 taels of silver.

Jiang Daqiao said: "Master, I paid a special visit to the big shopkeeper of the Nanjie Commercial Bank. If we buy the earth-level alchemy furnace in the name of Tiejianmen, he will allow us to pay in installments."

The ore elder was stunned: "Pay the silver in installments?"

"That's right, I've negotiated with the big shopkeeper. An earth-level alchemy furnace costs 2000 taels of silver.

We only need to pay 2000 taels for the first payment, and the remaining 1 taels can be paid on credit, and will be paid in ten installments within two years.

In addition, the big shopkeeper also offered to offer that the elixir refined by our Xiao Danfeng can also be sold on consignment in the Nanjie Commercial Bank, and the money obtained from selling the elixir can be used to offset the debt.

This method can be said to give us Xiaodanfeng a lot of face! "

"If you divide it into ten lots...each one will only cost 1000 taels, which is a good thing,"

The ore elder murmured while calculating,

"The problem is that the first 2000 taels of silver, we Xiaodanfeng can't get it out."

Jiang Daqiao's head suddenly became dizzy: "Master, how much silver do we have in Little Pill Peak?"

"Hmm..." The ore elder pondered for a while, "There are... probably less than 500 taels."

The master said less than 500 taels, so according to his understanding of his master, at most he can come up with 200 taels of silver.

Hey, here I have to mention one of my master's shortcoming...seriously lacks financial concepts, and doesn't know how to live within my means.

A good vitality pill can sell for more than 100 taels of silver, and a batch of ten pills can be produced in one furnace. Jiang Daqiao thinks that Xiaodanfeng's finances are not so tight.

Moreover, in addition to selling pills, Elder Ore also developed a lot of side jobs in order to supplement "Feng", such as divination, healing, exorcising ghosts... all kinds of income must add up to a lot.

But every time when faced with the need to purchase some assets and training materials for Xiao Danfeng, my master always said that money was tight.

Every time he went down the mountain to the market town, apart from bringing back some food and wine, the ore elder didn't see him bringing back a teacher's wife.

I really don't know what my master did with the money.

Seeing the helplessness of the ore elder, Jiang Daqiao said:
"Master, don't worry, the disciple has already figured out how to buy the earth-level alchemy furnace!"

The ore elder's eyes lit up again: "Really? What can I do?"

"I also met a noble person in the county this time. I went to ask him for help. It may be difficult to deal with too much money, but it is definitely not a problem to ask him to transfer 3000 taels of silver temporarily.

Master, please choose an auspicious day, let's go to the county town to carry the stove together! "

"That's...so good!
Daqiao, Master really didn’t misunderstand you. From now on, Master will definitely treat you as one of his own and cultivate you well. "

"Thank you Master!"

Jiang Daqiao handed over his hand to thank Master, feeling a groan in his heart...

If Senior Brother Jin Qiao was still around, Master wouldn't have said that.

Wasn't it because Senior Brother Jin Qiao left that he discovered that I, Jiang Daqiao, was excellent?
You must know that Senior Brother Jinqiao is the outstanding disciple that the ore elder said to be "well cultivated".

And my status among the masters is almost that of a runner doing odd jobs...

Commonly known as "handyman disciple".

It's sad to think about my own master, the outstanding disciples he cultivated with all his heart have left Xiaodan Peak one by one.

In this extremely dangerous world of martial arts...

Loyalty, probably nonexistent.

When a disciple finds that the master has no more skills to teach him, he will leave him and find someone more powerful to learn from him elsewhere.

"Take care of yourself as your own person", obviously the master's words were perfunctory, and of course Jiang Daqiao didn't tell the truth to the master...

Naturally, he would not let the ore elders know that adding an earth-level alchemy furnace to Xiao Danfeng was not only helping the master in alchemy, but also out of his own selfishness.

He learned from an alchemist's notes that the earth-level alchemy furnace can be used to refine "Dark Fragrance No. [-]".

"Dark Fragrance No. [-]" not only has a nice name, but also has a very elegant and pleasant fragrance, but it is a kind of poison that kills people invisible.

Secretly refining "Dark Fragrance No. [-]" is a small plan among many sub-plans in Jiang Daqiao's implementation of "Project Fudan".

As for the real reason for the explosion of the alchemy furnace, he will not let the ore elders know...

That night, the three masters and apprentices practiced alchemy, and Jiang Daqiao was in charge of pulling the bellows...

While his master and brother were not paying attention, he secretly added some ingredients into the furnace, and then created this "alchemy furnace accidentally exploded" incident.
