Do not die

Due to its unique structural characteristics, Nuanyun Valley has attracted many casual cultivators who are interested in alchemy and weapon refining to take root here.

Gradually, this place became the first choice for a large number of casual cultivators.

As the number of casual cultivators increases, Nuanyun Valley becomes more and more chaotic. At the same time, the prototypes of the forces that established the current order and structure of Nuanyun Valley also sprout in this environment.

And those forces that can survive to this day, without exception, all have professionals as the core of their souls.

There were also those who became famous for a while with strong combat power, but the characteristics of Nuanyun Valley determined that it would be difficult for one power to dominate.

Therefore, this kind of power fell just as quickly as it rose, becoming a short-lived embellishment in the history of Nuanyun Valley.

Its greatest value is that it is passed down from mouth to mouth as a negative example.

Such an atmosphere has created a special atmosphere in Nuanyun Valley, where professionals are respected more than anywhere else.

As long as you are a professional, you don't have to worry about being bullied or unfair, even if your cultivation and combat power are far inferior to others.

Because the entire professional group is its backing.

Even if different professionals belong to different forces, they all maintain a high degree of tacit understanding on this issue.

Although there is no so-called "professional alliance" in Nuanyun Valley, this atmosphere is real.

Therefore, if you can have a professional identity, there are many benefits.

Not to mention that the profession of pharmacist has a certain meaning of "benefiting others at the expense of oneself" in the common concept, and accordingly, it will receive more favor and care.

Meng Zhou thought about it in his mind, looked at Chu Zheng's expectant eyes, nodded and said, "I can give it a try."

Chu Zheng clapped his hands and said happily: "Okay, then...can I make some arrangements now?"

Meng Zhou nodded, but then reminded:

"Brother, you also know my situation. I am not a real pharmacist, so you have to make an agreement with them in advance. Don't have too high expectations of me. I can only do my best."

Chu Zheng nodded heavily and said:

"Don't worry, they are not so ungrateful. It is their fate that you can take action.

Those that are difficult to carry will be screened out by me, and they won't be an eyesore at all. "

Then, the two discussed some specific matters, and Meng Zhou didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

After leaving the courtyard, Meng Zhou went directly to Wang's Rice Shop.

When shop owner Wang Wei saw Meng Zhou appearing at the door, his eyes immediately lit up and he hurried over to greet him with a smile on his face.

The two went straight to the back room.

Wang Wei looked at the thick stack of cleaning charms Meng Zhou placed on the table, and was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.

After a while, he said: "How...how many do you have?"

Meng Zhou said: "One hundred and ninety."

Wang Wei swallowed his throat obviously, and then said: "I see that the specifications of these talisman papers are not exactly the same. Is this because some non-standard talisman materials are used?"

Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and said:

"What does it matter? As long as it doesn't affect the quality of the talisman, you still don't care what talisman material I use?"

Wang Wei quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't mean that, I'm just talking."

"Isn't it because the portion is too big for you to eat?" Meng Zhou asked directly.

When he asked this, Wang Wei became anxious and said quickly: "No, no, of course I can eat it!"

Then he said with a troubled face: "However, there is a problem."

"Say it." Meng Zhou said calmly.

Wang Wei said:

“Nuanyun Valley is a first-order spiritual vein, and the number and financial resources of the monks cannot be compared with those of second-order spiritual veins.

In addition, many forces in the valley have their own talisman makers, and most common talismans can be obtained through internal channels.

The number of talismans that can be digested through this market every day is very limited, not to mention that the 190 talismans you have are all cleansing talismans. It will take more than ten days to completely take advantage of them.

This is equivalent to me storing a lot of spiritual stones here, which is also a big burden for me. "

Meng Zhou asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Wang Wei said: "Can I pay 50% first, and then pay the remaining 50% after I sell them?"

Meng Zhou didn't hesitate at all and refused directly: "No."

Wang Wei said hurriedly: "It's only ten days at most. If nothing else, I still have such a big shop here. Are you still afraid that I will run away?"

Meng Zhou said: "Since you feel stressed, you can only eat 50%."

Wang Wei didn't seem to hear his suggestion at all, and kept talking about the objective facts and the pressure he had to bear unilaterally.

In the end, Meng Zhou also made a small concession.

The selling price dropped from 10% off the market price to 15% off the market price, and finally purchased 162 low-grade spiritual stones.

The deal is concluded and the spirit stone is obtained.

After leaving Wang's rice shop, Meng Zhou went to the True Talisman Hall again and spent fifty spiritual stones to buy one hundred first-level low-grade Talisman materials.

Originally, he had no intention of coming here to buy expensive talisman materials. Anyway, his success rate of making talismans was not affected by this.

But Wang Wei's words reminded him.

His efficiency in making talismans is far superior to that of other talisman makers. It is a bit exaggerated for one person to be able to make five, but three is more than enough. If he sells too many cleaning talismans in a short period of time, will the price of this talisman decline due to oversupply? He doesn't know, but this will definitely attract the attention of many forces.

Wang Wei, a rice shop owner, cannot handle this. In the end, all these pressures will be transferred to him.

He just wanted to make a lot of talismans to gain experience, improve his knowledge of talismans, and earn some spiritual stones to support his life.

Blowing a pool of spring water, this is not what he wants to see.

Therefore, Meng Zhou had new ideas in his mind.

The first is to learn more ways to draw talismans, and the second is to control the number and types of talismans used in the future.

While ensuring a balance of income and expenditure and being able to maintain normal practice, one cannot sell out too many talismans at once.

The standard talisman materials purchased at the True Talisman Hall were the consumables he used to trial-produce new talismans.

Then, Meng Zhou found the middle-aged monk in the square stall area. After communication, Meng Zhou knew that this man's surname was Wu Mingtong.

After hearing Meng Zhou's needs, he closed the stall directly and invited Meng Zhou to a teahouse to discuss it in detail.

At first, he did not respond directly to Meng Zhou's demand. At one moment, he said that his demand was too large and he could not raise it in a short time. At another moment, he said that the price of spiritual materials would be affected. Overtly and secretly, he wanted Meng Zhou to make a little more profit.

This time Meng Zhou didn't let go, and directly displayed his entire current net worth, including one hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones.

Seeing these cuties, Wu Tong shut up immediately.

Meng Zhou was left to sit alone in the teahouse for about a quarter of an hour. He put a package in front of Meng Zhou and said breathlessly: "Please click on it!"

Meng Zhou unpacked the package and took a rough inventory. Five hundred and forty talisman materials were neatly stacked.

What concerned Meng Zhou the most was that among the 540 talisman materials, there were at least 20 different specifications.

Meng Zhou thought to himself that he didn't know how many people he had to find this time to come up with this amount.

Meng Zhou put the five hundred and forty talismans into the storage bag, stood up and stuffed the spirit stone bag into the palm of the opponent's hand, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"

Wu Tong, who has yet to catch his breath, smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to earn some hard money... But I have agreed to come to me next time!"

"Well, I'll see you next time!"

After leaving the market, Meng Zhou went straight back to Zuowang Hall.

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Meng Zhou came to Chu Zheng's residence again.

In addition to Master Chu Zheng and Yu Peng, there is also an old woman with silver hair and good temperament in the courtyard.

Seeing her nodding and smiling at him, he could even slightly imagine her youthful demeanor.

After Chu Zheng's introduction, Meng Zhou knew that this person's name was Han Qingmei. He was also at the sixth level of Qi training and was about the same age as Chu Zheng. But from the outside, he looked ten or twenty years younger than him.

And she also has another identity, a first-level mid-level alchemist.

Meng Zhou's face was full of surprise, "The alchemist still wants to see a doctor like me, a half-baked pharmacist?"

Han Qingmei laughed when she heard this and said, "What do you think of an alchemist? Can you prevent all diseases, or can the elixir cure all diseases?"

Meng Zhou shook his head: "I still find it a bit incredible."

Han Qingmei said:

"Outsiders always have many misunderstandings about alchemists. They always think that we are omnipotent, as if there is nothing that cannot be solved by a pill.

In fact, it is not that mysterious. Let alone a first-level mid-level alchemist, even a second-level alchemist is just an alchemy craftsman who burns the furnace according to the recipe.

There may be a pill that can solve my problem, but it's not within my reach. "

Meng Zhou had quietly used the consultation technique, and through communicating with the other party, observing the other party's complexion and speaking and breathing, he could slowly determine the other party's hidden illness.

Finally, we came to a general conclusion: occupational disease.

Meng Zhou said: "Can I check it out?"

Han Qingmei said generously: "Of course, right here or go to the back room?"

Meng Zhou said: "It's right here, just give me your hand."

Meng Zhou held the opponent's wrist and inspected the spell. The warm magic spread silently through the opponent's body like water waves, flowing smoothly all the way. Finally, it encountered obstacles in his heart and lungs.

Combining the results gained from the consultation and inspection techniques, Meng Zhou thought for a while and said:

"I roughly know what's going on. There are two main reasons why you occasionally feel short of breath and a burning sensation in your heart.

One is because of your profession, and the other is the characteristics of Nuanyun Valley’s aura, but in the final analysis, it’s the environment..."

Han Qingmei nodded while listening, and finally asked: "Can it be cured?"

There was a look of anticipation on his face.

Meng Zhou apologized: "Sorry, I can't guarantee this."

Han Qingmei glanced at Chu Zheng beside her, remembered his previous explanation, and said hurriedly: "It's okay, just do whatever you want."

Meng Zhou nodded: "Okay."

Half an hour later, Han Qingmei said with a grateful face, "Mr. Zhou, thank you. After your treatment, I feel much better."

Meng Zhou waved his hand and said: "I have only temporarily alleviated your symptoms, and it is still far from a cure."

"That's not easy either."

Han Qingmei said that she already had some spiritual stones in her hand, which she wanted to pay for this time's diagnosis, but Meng Zhou refused and said, "Let's wait until the patient is completely cured."

Then, Meng Zhou made an appointment with her for the next diagnosis and treatment and left.

"Inquiry skill +20, inspection skill +20, treatment skill +20, I didn't expect to gain so much from one diagnosis and treatment." Meng Zhou was also very satisfied with the gains from this visit.
