One emperor

Chapter 69
Since the grade division of the cauldron furnace is the same as that of the flame, besides the convenience of distinguishing, there is naturally a certain basis.

The heavenly cauldron is made of materials from the heavens above;

A spirit-level cauldron is made from something from spirit beasts among the materials, such as spirit beast bone meal;
Earth-level cauldrons are refined from some rare materials mined underground, such as earth element steel;

Xuan-level cauldron furnaces are basically refined from some of the most common and common materials, such as gold, silver, copper and iron.

Although there are four levels of distinction, the cauldron furnaces used by most alchemists and weapon refiners are also of the Xuan level.

Earth-level ones are relatively rare, and as for spirit-level ones, they are extremely rare, and even if there are, they are at most one to three ranks.

Cauldron furnaces of spirit level four and above have only appeared in legends, and as for heaven-level cauldron furnaces, they have not even appeared in legends, and only exist in the imagination of practitioners, because the Nine Heavens itself is a legend.

The man is naturally very discerning. As soon as he heard Yao Shan's words, he knew that the guest was not happy. He felt that what he said was too big, so he quickly said with a smile: "You are always joking, there is no one in the world. A shop can have a fourth-grade cauldron furnace, and the best cauldron furnace in our shop is the Xuan-grade fifth-grade cauldron furnace."

"Mysterious fifth grade!" Yao Shan frowned, obviously the cauldron of this grade was not what he wanted.

However, Ye Dong on the side couldn't help touching the money bag in his arms.

Ye Dong, as the young master of the Ye family, has fixed pocket money on weekdays, one tael a month, and he has almost no expenses, so the pocket money over the years has been saved, plus the red envelopes from the elders during the New Year, There are about 200 taels in total.

If adding the one hundred taels of silver from his grandfather that he didn't intend to use, then the money he carried was 300 taels.

At this time, he couldn't bear it any longer, coughed and said, "Man, how much do you sell for a Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron furnace?"

"If you pay in cash, it will be cheaper. If you pay in cash, it will be a little more expensive. Of course, if you have spirit crystals, it will be even cheaper!"

The bank note needs to be exchanged at the bank, and the bank will charge a handling fee, so it must be more expensive to pay with bank notes, and spirit spar is actually a common currency among practitioners.

"How much is cheap, and how much is expensive?"

"Current silver, 1 taels, bank notes 1000 taels, and Lingjing stones, depending on the grade, the natural quantity is also different."

Ye Dong almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Although he expected that the Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron would be very expensive, he really didn't expect that it would be so ridiculously expensive!
1 taels of silver is enough for the entire Ye family to live comfortably for two years, but here, it is only enough to buy a Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron furnace!

Although the price is indeed a bit high, it is not outrageous. Whether it is a pharmacist or a craftsman, it can be said that everything they use is of great value.

This is also one of the reasons why there are so few alchemists and weapon refiners!

If you want to train a pharmacist or a craftsman, not to mention anything else, just the investment in money basically needs hundreds of thousands of silver taels. During the process of making the utensils, there are often situations where the furnace is fried. After the furnace is fried, the furnace is basically reimbursed and needs to be replaced. Therefore, ordinary people, like the Ye family, or even the three major families combined, do not have such strong financial resources. .

But if it can really be cultivated, then this investment is nothing.

A third-grade dustware can be sold for millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver, and similarly, a good medicine pill is also worth so much money.

But now Ye Dong only has 300 taels of silver on him, so he hastily and quietly tugged Yao Shan's sleeve, telling him not to be impulsive and buy that Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron furnace!

Yao Shan never thought that Ye Dong was worried about money now, felt Ye Dong's tugging, and thought that Ye Dong was willing to want this mysterious fifth-grade cauldron furnace, so he nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, Since you only have the fifth grade of Xuan level, then you can make do with it, but let me take a look at this cauldron first."

Ye Dong almost spat out another mouthful of blood, but before he could speak, the man smiled and said, "Okay, please come with me, both of you!"

After finishing speaking, he led the way. When he walked to the wall, he touched somewhere, and heard a "click" sound of mechanical operation. It turned out that there was a secret room in this room.

There was an open door on the wall, and the man stood at the door, smiling at the two of them, "Both of you, the fifth-grade Xuan-level cauldron is considered a valuable item, so we have to be careful."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Dong hastily whispered to Yao Shan, "Old Yao, I don't have that much money with me!"

Yao Shan was slightly startled and said, "Then how much money do you have?"

"Three, 300 taels!"

Hearing this sentence, Yao Shan's brows were all knit together, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "Have you bought the medicinal materials I asked you to buy?"

"I bought it, it's on my body!"

"Well, I see, let's take a look at the cauldron first!"

Yao Shan couldn't blame Ye Dong, Ye Dong didn't even step into the world, so how could he know the price of a good cauldron that a pharmacist needs!

After telling the truth, Ye Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he also thought that Yao Shan still wanted to go to see the cauldron furnace, but he just wanted to find an excuse not to, so he followed Yao Shan and entered with confidence. In the secret room.

The size of the secret room is not large, there are two long tables inside, and a cauldron is placed on each table. Compared with the cauldrons outside which are mostly two or three meters high, these two are much smaller , are only half the height of a person.

The two cauldron furnaces are both blue in color. The one on the left is ordinary in shape, with three legs and two ears, and several pine cranes are carved on the body of the tripod, while the one on the right has a strange shape, two legs and two ears, and the mouth of the tripod is very small. Look closely. Go, it turned out to be a snake head with its mouth wide open, and the snake head was made lifelike.

Ye Dong couldn't tell whether the cauldron was good or bad, so he could only look at the appearance of the cauldron, so he naturally preferred the snake cauldron.

"We have two Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron furnaces, take a look at them slowly, I'll pour you a cup of tea!"

The man nodded and walked out, because the cauldron was huge, and the secret room was completely sealed, with only one door in and out, so he didn't have to worry that the two people would steal the cauldron.

However, when the waiter came to the lobby, he didn't really make tea, but whispered to a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind the counter: "Brother, the two of them seem to want to buy Xuan-level five The medicine tasting cauldron, and they look very strange, they must not be from the three cities under our Luoyingzong's jurisdiction, should you inform the inner sect brother?"

The middle-aged man stroked his chin and said, "Using a mysterious fifth-grade medicine cauldron, at least a second-grade pharmacist, how can such an important person be let go, you must inform the senior brother of the inner sect, you find a way to hold them back, I will notify!"
