The First Saint of Alchemy
Chapter 9: Identifying Medicine by Scent
When Tang Yan quoted the price, the shop was briefly quiet.
Everyone looked at Tang Yan. This kid was extremely frivolous from the beginning. I don’t know which second-generation ancestor came to Miao Dan Fang to make trouble! However, Miao Dan Fang has a respected status and extraordinary strength. This playboy may have kicked the iron plate.
Three thousand taels of silver... When this price came out of Tang Yan's mouth, Ge Ming thought he was hallucinating.
A feeling of a cat being played by a mouse came to Ge Ming spontaneously, and he almost went berserk. He slammed the table and roared: "Boy, what do you think my Miaodanfang is? You are acting wild here!"
"Master Ge, what do you mean?" Tang Yan looked at Ge Meng in fear: "Don't scare me. I will pay you back if you ask for a high price. Why are you acting wild here?"
"Can you buy a second-grade elixir with three thousand taels of silver? Such a low price is an insult to the elixir sold by my Miaodanfang. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'm afraid the door of this Miaodanfang will not be so easy to open!"
Hearing Ge Ming's threatening words, Tang Yan sneered: "Master Ge, this elixir is made from a furnace."
"I said before that it was just refined not long ago."
"I mean, this furnace only produced these three usable elixirs!" Tang Yan said lightly.
Master Ge, who was originally full of anger, shrank his pupils when he heard Tang Yan's words, and his heart was full of disbelief.
The place where he made elixirs was absolutely closed, and he was alone. How did this young man know? After thinking it over, the only interaction between me and this young man was a few words of conversation, when this young man sniffed the mouth of the bottle.
Could it be that by sniffing the mouth of the bottle, I could tell that I had refined a furnace of useless pills and only saved three?
Suppressing this absurd thought in his heart, Ge Ming pretended to be calm and said: "Isn't it normal for one furnace to produce three second-level middle-grade pills? Do you think that second-level middle-grade pills are sugar beans that can be made casually?"
"The aroma of the pill is too strong, mixed with a little bit of burnt smell. It is obviously the last step of the pill, and the fire is slow to stop. There are two choices at this time. One is to continue to make the pill, but there is a 99% chance of failure. The other way is to discard some materials and protect the pill. In this way, the number of pills will be reduced, and the efficacy will also be affected by uneven heating. Master Ge chose the second one."
"It is rumored that Master Ge is a second-level high-grade alchemist, such a noble identity. If I refine such a pill, if I buy it for 100,000 taels of silver, Master Ge will be uneasy because he is kind-hearted, and it may become a demon in his future practice of alchemy. It's better for me to just offer a low price!" Tang Yan spoke with reason and evidence.
The people around him all fell into a dream, not knowing whether it was true or not. This kid guessed so many things just by smell?
Ge Ming's heart was already in turmoil, for no other reason than that the guess of this young man in front of him was not wrong at all!
Seeing Tang Yan's confident look, Ge Ming's heart moved, and he tried to ask: "I am already a second-level high-grade alchemist. How could I make a mistake in controlling the fire when refining a mid-grade elixir?"
"Normally, Master Ge must be able to refine a mid-grade elixir easily. There are only two possible reasons for the failure. The first is that Master Ge is in poor physical condition and cannot concentrate on refining this elixir. The second is the problem of the elixir furnace."
"And Master Ge is in good condition now, so I guess there should be something wrong with the elixir furnace. Master Ge recently changed the elixir furnace, right?" After saying that, Tang Yan kept silent.
At this moment, Ge Ming's eyes were already dull. He asked a question casually, but was guessed by this young man again? He dared to be sure that no one would spy on him when he was refining medicine.
And he changed the elixir furnace last night, and even the shop assistant didn't know.
This young man, with such a meticulous mind and such a powerful young man, actually had his Dantian destroyed? Wait, his Dantian was destroyed, could it be that this young man wanted to ask for a pill to repair his Dantian?
According to his own experience, the pill that can restore the destroyed Dantian must be at least level six. Moreover, this kind of pill is relatively niche and extremely difficult to refine. Its value may be comparable to that of a level seven pill.
There is probably no level six alchemist in the entire Miaodanfang, right?
This young man's wish is doomed to fail.
No wonder I didn't feel the fluctuation of true energy from this young man.
"My friend has a keen eye, and I admire you. I will give you these three pills without taking a penny, just as a good deed." Ge Ming sighed and handed the porcelain bottle to Tang Yan again.
The people around looked at the porcelain bottle with eager eyes. This young man, with just a few simple words, can get three level two middle-grade pills for free?
"In that case, I thank Mr. Ge." Tang Yan bowed his hands to thank him, and put the porcelain bottle in his arms, without any impoliteness.
"My friend, you came here this time. I guess you want the elixir to repair your dantian. I'm really sorry, I'm afraid it's hard to find." Ge Ming smiled bitterly.
Tang Yan was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Ge, I came here this time for another request, I want to discuss a business."
"Oh?" Ge Ming looked at Tang Yan in confusion, thinking that this boy is extraordinary, and it should not be a small business, so he stretched out his hand: "Please talk to the cabinet."
Let Xiao Cui wait outside, Tang Yan and Ge Ming walked into the house one after another.
When they came to a room inside, a waiter poured tea and brought it up. Ge Ming smiled and asked: "I don't know your name yet."
"Boy Tang Yan."
Ge Ming was stunned after hearing this. Tang Yan? Isn't that the famous playboy of the Tang family? Then he thought, there are so many people in the world, and there are still only a few with the same name and surname? He should be a young master from another family. He smiled and said, "I wonder what business you want to discuss with me, brother Tang?"
"I want to borrow the alchemy furnace." Tang Yan directly stated his purpose.
"Borrow the alchemy furnace? How?" Ge Ming became more and more curious.
"I'll borrow the furnace for two hours. I can refine it inside Miao Dan Fang without moving the furnace. I need to refine a pot of elixir. I hope Mr. Ge can be flexible."
After pondering for a while, Ge Ming said: "Refine elixir, you need soul power, perception and true qi support. Your dantian is destroyed, and the furnace is probably useless."
"Don't worry about these. The elixir I refine is not of high grade, and the requirements for my own conditions are not that high."
"Two hours..." Ge Ming held his chin and thought for a while, then made a decision: "I can agree to this, but since this is a business, what benefits can my Miao Dan Fang get?"
Tang Yan quickly calculated in his mind. This time he wanted to refine a first-grade middle-grade Chu Ling Dan, which was milder and easier to absorb than Ju Qi Dan. Among the first-grade elixirs, there is probably no more suitable for Yuan-level warriors than Chu Ling Dan.
But what should he use as a reward? Is it Chu Ling Dan? If this kind of medicine is taken out, will Miao Dan Fang covet his recipe?
He raised his head suddenly, and found a faint red light in Ge Ming's eyes. Tang Yan frowned, he was very familiar with this red light, and instantly had an idea in his mind: "After refining the pill, I will give it to you. If Mr. Ge is not satisfied with the reward I give you, you can deduct all the pills I refine."
