Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 154 Alchemist Price List

Even if the pharmacist's apprentice and alchemist are included, it can reach a scale of one hundred people, which is still very strong.

"How much do you charge for this? Also, what kind of elixir can you refine for me?"

Qin Niu must understand it clearly before deciding whether to ask someone to make elixirs.

"The charge is based on the type of elixir you need to refine, as well as the size and grade of the elixir. Some elixirs have many impurities and need to be added with a variety of auxiliary materials to quench the impurities. The cost will be expensive. But even if It’s just that the tempering price of ordinary beast elixirs is not cheap. If you have this intention, I will ask an elixir boy to come over and discuss it with you in detail."

The clerk's job is reception work, and he may have some knowledge about herbs and elixirs.

"It's work."

Qin Niu said to the guy.

Not long after, the man invited a Dan boy in a white gown to come over.

Pharmacists and alchemists actually have different focuses.

Pharmacists are good at planting, harvesting, identifying, and processing medicinal herbs. They are even better at compatibility of medicinal herbs.

The alchemist is good at mixing medicinal materials and auxiliary materials to make pills.

It can be understood that pharmacists do basic work, while alchemists do more advanced technical work.

Many powerful alchemists are also medicine masters.

This is also the origin of the title Alchemist.

If you are only proficient in alchemy or medicine, you are not qualified to be called an alchemist.

But they can only be called pharmacists or alchemists.

Also, the status of an alchemist is higher than that of a pharmacist, and his income is also higher than that of a pharmacist.

The alchemist can enhance the effect of an herbal medicine by adding auxiliary materials, tempering and other techniques.The control of fire during alchemy is one of the core skills of an alchemist.

Pharmacists study the characteristics of medicinal herbs and have no ability to improve the efficacy of medicinal herbs.

For example, eating a medicinal herb can promote a person's cultivation level from the first level to the second level as a mortal.At the same time, during the process of taking the medicine, the medicinal herbs will cause people to feel extremely painful due to their certain toxicity.

However, after tempering by the alchemist and adding auxiliary materials, this herb can be made non-toxic.It can even promote people from the first level of mortals to the third level, or even higher.

This is the ability of the alchemist.

The medicine apprentice who received Qin Niu last time was wearing a gray gown.And this Dantong was wearing a white gown with an eye-catching golden furnace cauldron pattern embroidered on the chest.

Just the clothes are one level higher than that of a drug disciple.

His expression was even slightly arrogant.

Those who didn’t know better thought that this boy was working as an alchemy boy for the Supreme Lord.

"Excuse me, do you want to temper the beast elixir?"

"Correct!"

"The starting price is ten taels of silver. It is possible that the tempering will fail. Are you sure you want to temper it?"

Dantong's words were a little cold.

The starting price for just tempering a beast elixir is ten taels of silver, which is really not that expensive.It only costs three taels of silver to buy a body tempering pill.

"Why is the price of tempering the beast elixir so much more expensive than buying one elixir?"

Qin Niu frowned.

He didn't like Dantong's arrogance that was engraved in his bones.

He spoke very coldly and in a routine manner.

"Our cheapest elixir is the detoxification elixir, which costs one tael of silver each. For cultivation elixirs, the cheapest is the body tempering elixir, which costs three taels of silver each. But these two elixirs are refined after being tempered with the beast elixir. The elixirs produced are completely incomparable. Let’s put it this way, even if it is the worst animal elixir, as long as it is successfully tempered, the elixir produced will be worth at least a hundred taels of silver.”

Dantong seemed to sense that Qin Niu was a layman, so he explained a few more words.

"Is there such a big difference?"

Qin Niu secretly smacked his tongue.

You get what you pay for, and all good things are expensive.

No wonder the starting price for tempering beast elixirs is only ten taels of silver. "No matter how many body tempering pills you take, you can be promoted to the tenth level of a mortal at most. But if you take one of the pills tempered by the beast pill, you can break through a big realm and be directly promoted to the acquired realm."

Dantong should often receive country bumpkin like Qin Niu.

So I gave him the simplest example.

Qin Niu relied on the ancient banyan tree and drank wolf blood, energy blood, pig king blood, and the meat of various wild beasts, and practiced hard every day, and then he broke through to the first level of the acquired world.

I didn't expect that such a difficult thing could be accomplished with an elixir tempered by an animal elixir.

He finally understood why monks considered money the most important thing.

As long as you have money, you can completely ignore talent and hard work.

A pill can achieve overtaking in corners.

"How high is the failure rate for tempering beast elixirs?"

Qin Niu was already very moved.

He is currently at the first level of the Acquired Heaven Realm. If he wants to advance to the next smaller realm, he needs at least 1000 points of energy.

This means that the difficulty of cultivation has increased more than ten times.

Cultivation is inherently a process of accumulation.

Thick and thin.

The Pig King Pill on his body is about the size of a soybean. If it is tempered into a pill and taken, his cultivation will definitely take a big step forward.

Monks are meant to compete with God for their fate.

What we compete for is opportunity and every inch of time.

Taking a big step at once can save years or even decades of hard work, which means that he has decades more training time than other monks to reach a higher realm.

No matter what, it's worth letting him try.

"The success rate varies. The prices of the alchemists here are clearly marked. If you are willing to let me refine it, I can only charge one tael of silver." When Dantong said this, his tone finally became a little calmer. Human touch.

Is it just possible?
In order to save the refining fee of nine taels of silver, Qin Niu gave such a precious Pig King Pill to a novice to refine it?

If the refining fails, wouldn’t it be like crying to death?
"Let me take a look at your alchemist price list first!"

Qin Niu decided to understand the price trend first.

"Here, the price list is hanging there! The higher the alchemy master is, the more expensive the price will be, and you will have to wait in line. If you leave it to me to temper it, I can help you start the alchemy furnace today."

This guy can see that Qin Niu is a bumpkin, and he desperately wants to get the opportunity to temper the beast elixir from Qin Niu.

Because tempering beast elixirs can make great progress for any elixir boy in his alchemy skills.

Qin Niu raised his eyes and looked at the price list.

The chief alchemist's refining fee is the most expensive, starting at 50 taels of silver.The success rate of ordinary elixirs is over 95%, and the success rate of tempering animal elixirs is 30%.

This success rate is really not that low!

Qin Niu continued to look down.

The success rates of the three gold medal alchemists in tempering the beast elixir are 25%, 23%, and 21% respectively.

The success rate of tempering the beast elixirs of the seven silver medal masters is even lower, with the strongest being 20% ​​and the weakest being only 11%.

As for ordinary alchemists, the success rate is less than ten percent.

Dantong?The success rate is estimated to be less than 1%.

"I want your chief alchemist to temper it for me. Please ask him to come out and have a chat!"

Qin Niu decided to talk first.

For such a big matter, the more detailed the question, the better.

"The chief alchemist no longer accepts orders for ordinary beast elixirs due to too many orders. Can you let me see your beast elixirs first?"

Dantong was disappointed not to get the job.
