Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 450

Time passes day by day.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhong has been in office for three years.

In half a month, it was time to submit the task.

In the past two years, he has just completed the task, that is, submitting [-] bottles of qi refining period pills.

After stepping on the line, the political achievements are naturally guaranteed.

However, Lu Zhong is not in a hurry about this, including this submission.

After all, his purpose has never been for political achievements.

Right now, by rebuilding the alchemy workshop, in this short period of three years, the avatars have mastered the entire alchemy process and the construction method of each part.

You only need to wait for the spirit reactor to be bought, and you can build Lu Zhong's own alchemy workshop in the small cave in the mountains and rivers.

The research on the automatic alchemy factory can also be carried out at the same time.

Compared with the benefits that the above projects can bring, some political achievements are naturally not valued by Lu Zhong.

However, his calmness made the third secretary of the Qingnang Executive Government feel uneasy.

"I really don't understand. Could it be that this young man who is in power just wants to come here and wait for death? He doesn't want to take back his power, and he doesn't want to seize the control of the elixir garden. He just wants to guarantee the completion of the task every year." Wu Boyun He sighed, expressing that he couldn't understand Lu Zhong's actions at all.

"I think he must be planning something." Ning Daohe expressed his opinion.

Things are so abnormal, and if you think about it, you know there must be something wrong.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out where it was.

So, Ning Daohe had no choice but to look at Yang Bingyan and asked:
"Yang Situ, what clues do you see?"

"No." Yang Bingyan shook her head.

Regarding Lu Zhong's actions, she has been collecting information.

But no matter how you look at it, this person's movements are very normal, and there is no fault at all.

plan?

nonexistent.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Bingyan felt strongly uneasy.

"In my opinion, try to test it out."

"Test, how to test?"

Wu Boyun raised his head, wanting to hear Yang Bingyan's tentative method.

On the other side, Ning Daohe also cast an interested look.

"Throw out the bait, as long as Lu Zhizheng has an idea, he will definitely take action." Yang Bingyan paused before continuing: "Not long ago, there were three elixir gardens in the west, which fell into the hands of the son of Changchun. It has not yet been taken back by the Qingsangwei. It can be used as a bait to see if this law enforcement is really as he has shown, and he is really here to eat and die."

In Yang Bingyan's view, as long as Lu Zhong is aggressive, he will definitely win the three elixir gardens.

"Three elixir gardens, aren't they too many?" Wu Boyun frowned.

It's not that he's greedy, but that every elixir garden is a divided cake, and it's quite troublesome for him to balance the interests of all parties.

"Hmph, if you don't use heavy bait, how can you test out the effect?" Yang Bingyan said displeased.

"I think it's three seats."

Ning Daohe expressed his opinion.

Then he said that regarding the reconciliation of the interests of all parties, he would do his part to let Wu Boyun come into contact with doubts.

Soon, the news about the Spirit Medicine Garden was released.

However, things developed far beyond the expectations of the three.

Lu Zhong didn't move at all.

Now, they really had to believe that this guy really came here to eat and wait.

But according to the information collected by the third division, how can someone who can cultivate to the late stage of transforming gods like this and collect high-level spiritual objects wantonly be a mediocre person?

Temptation, again and again, again and again.

Without breaking through the bottom line, the three have not been able to find satisfactory results.As a result, they had to temporarily believe that Lu Zhong was a bastard.

So gradually, the name of "green bag bastard" began to spread like wildfire in the green bag area.

The Tuhuang Palace has no objection to this. After all, Lu Zhong can complete the tasks according to the amount every year, and he can already be regarded as a qualified ruler.

The person involved has been retreating and has not expressed his attitude.

Time flies, and it is the tenth year in a blink of an eye.

On this day, in the small cave of mountains and rivers.

Lu Zhong looked at the factory-like building in front of him, with a smile on his face.

The building in front of him looks rough and simple on the surface, but it is an experimental alchemy factory built by him on the basis of the alchemy workshop, combined with the experience of his previous life, adding the secret formation and the reverse formation.

Theoretically, as long as raw materials are put into it, the finished pill can be refined.

But this is only theory.

For now, the factory is just a show.

Whether you can refine the pill as you like in theory, you still need to verify it before you can get the answer.

Without hesitation, he flicked out the formula.

Suddenly, the factory roared into operation.

Under the control of the avatar, batches of elixir were poured into the feeding port.

There is no need for an alchemist to process, all the elixir is transformed into the pure medicine aura through the transformation of the secret array of good fortune, and then it is input into the spirit splitting reactor through a special sealed pipeline.

The automatic fusion and transformation started, and the medicine spirit energy began to react.

Soon, Yuan Dan rolled out of the reactor.

Yuan Dan passed the track, and quickly rolled into the spiritual injection room in the sealed high-pressure spiritual environment.

This step is also performed automatically.

After the original pill was infused with spirit, the spiritual energy contained in it increased a lot.

After the spirit injection was completed, the spirit injection masters who had been prepared for a long time, waited for the original pill to roll out of the spirit injection room, and immediately typed out a series of formulas to divide it into pills.

The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water.

In terms of efficiency, it is more than twice as fast as an alchemy workshop.

However, Lu Zhong was not very satisfied with this.

The current alchemy factory is essentially no different from the alchemy factory.

At best, it is just the processing and purification steps of the elixir, and it becomes processed by the secret array of good fortune.

Neither assembly line nor automatic alchemy.

"It seems that there is still room for improvement."

Lu Zhongmo thought.

Even if it is such an experimental factory, a semi-finished product that makes him unsatisfied everywhere, in terms of alchemy efficiency, it can still beat the alchemy workshop by a block.

And this is the product of the combination of the spirit separation reactor and the secret array of good fortune.

Looking at the bottles of pills being produced from the production line, Lu Zhong began to estimate the cost.

As far as the current situation is concerned, due to stagnant research, the efficiency of the Creation Secret Formation has been kept at [-]%, so the cost of materials is destined to be much higher than the traditional alchemy method, let alone compared with the large-scale alchemy method.

Although there are disadvantages, there are also advantages.

Although the efficiency of the creation secret array is low, it does not require human maintenance at all.

Therefore, the cost of the entire treatment and purification steps is close to that of the traditional alchemy method.

"The total cost is half of the traditional alchemy method, but [-]% higher than the scale alchemy method."

Lu Zhong was not satisfied with this result.

However, it is enough.

If the refined pill is sold, even if it is calculated based on [-]% of the market price, there will be a [-]% profit.If calculated according to the real cost, as long as Lu Zhong removes the loss of the factory, the rest is a net profit.

After all, the manpower and materials in Shanhe Xiaodongtian do not cost money.

"Very good, finally opened up a source of income!"

Lu Zhong was very excited about this.

Since he entered the spirit world, he has always been unable to enter and exit. Occasionally, he seized a small amount. Although the amount seems to be large, it is only a drop in the bucket for the expensive cultivation in the long run.

It's impossible not to feel worried when I see my pockets getting thinner.

Now that it is finally resolved, how can people not be excited?

But soon, Lu Zhong calmed down.

Because of the distribution channel of the pill, he still hasn't solved it yet.

It was also when he became a young man in power that Lu Zhongcai knew that it was unrealistic to submit the pill to the Tuhuang Palace in exchange for political achievements.It is difficult for him to explain the source of the elixir without fully controlling the Qingsang domain.

If it is sold directly into spirit stones, it is necessary to find a force that can stably consume large quantities of pills.

The production efficiency of the alchemy factory, even in the experimental stage, is only higher than that of the alchemy factory.With such a huge production capacity, it is doomed to be difficult to find an ideal partner.

"It seems that we have to inquire about the news."

Lu Zhong thought to himself.

Before that, we could only reduce the production capacity of the alchemy factory to avoid excessive inventory backlog.

The days passed by.

The green sac area is relatively calm.

Regarding the evil forces in the domain, Lu Zhong turned a blind eye when he did not control the Qing Nangwei, as long as they did not threaten the two alchemy workshops he controlled, he would ignore them.

After all, it was only the interests of the natives that were damaged, so naturally Ning Sima should be responsible for handling it.

At the end of the year, it's time to submit tasks.

Lu Zhong, as always, no more than no less.

The elders of the Earth Palace who came to count the numbers did not have the slightest temper for this.

In the past 20 years, Hunzi's ruling has never changed.

It's really a salted fish.

After the handover, the elders of the Tuhuang Palace thought for a while, and kindly reminded: "Lu is in power, and the next year will be No. 20. According to the regulations, the amount of tasks next time will increase by [-]%. I hope you can do it." Get ready."

He said this because he was afraid that this guy would just goof around and not be able to complete the task.

"Thank you, Elder Li, for reminding me."

Lu Zhong smiled slightly, not worried about it.

Sending this one away, this time he did not return to the quiet room to continue his cultivation as usual.

After changing his appearance, he turned around and came to the northwest of Qingnang Xiancheng.

Lu Zhong got off the animal cart, looked at the bustling and noisy streets, felt the long-lost atmosphere of fireworks, and then walked into a restaurant on the side of the road without looking back.

I asked for a good private room and ordered a table of delicious food.

After that, he poured the drink alone and waited quietly.

What he has to wait for now is the elder of the Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce.

The Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce, a well-known large-scale chamber of commerce in the Qingnang Region, has opened shops all over the Qingnang Region. It is said that it has radiated to several nearby areas recently. There are monks in the fusion stage sitting in the town, and its strength must not be underestimated.

In fact, only this kind of partner can eat the production capacity of the alchemy factory.

After a while, there were footsteps outside.

Lu Zhong stood up, just in time to see a lady in palace attire appearing at the door.

The visitor came with six maids, and the ostentation was not small at all. The lady glanced at the dishes on the table, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but she did not show it.

As a qualified chamber of commerce elder, it can be said that it is a necessary quality to face customers with a pleasant face.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two got down to business.

"Your Excellency, the friend Cheng introduced by you? My concubine is Zong Yueru of the Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce, and she is currently serving as an elder. Since you said that you have a batch of good goods to sell, why don't you take them out now and tell me to take a closer look?"

The lady said calmly.

Before coming, she didn't report the slightest hope for this trip, and she had to find time to travel just to deal with favors.Regarding what "Chen Dong" said, that a large number of pills were sold, I think it is just an exaggeration.

If you are exhausted, there will be thousands of bottles.

But soon, Elder Zong changed his mind.

"Please see."

I saw Lu Zhong lightly put a storage ring on the table.

Seeing that it was a storage ring, Elder Zong's expression changed slightly, and he finally became serious.It can be loaded with a storage ring, and the amount of goods inside is not small.

Still, it doesn't feel like much.

I just slightly raised my expectations and set it to around [-] bottles.

Although the Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce is not a cross-border chamber of commerce, it is also a force with business in seven large and small domains. It handles tens of thousands of pills every day, so [-] bottles of pills are really not a lot to her.

However, when she opened it, she was so startled that she couldn't close her mouth.

I saw that the storage ring, which was hundreds of feet square, was full of pill bottles.

Packed in a wooden box, horizontally and vertically, neatly placed.

One count, a total of 20 boxes, [-] bottles of first-order pills.

Based on a bottle of fifty spirit stones, the value of the goods is 1000 million spirit stones.

With so many elixirs, a traditional [-]-person alchemy workshop would have to produce them without sleep for three years before it could be assembled.Even if the alchemy workshop adopts the large-scale alchemy method and the alchemy efficiency is greatly improved, it will take a year to produce it on the scale of a hundred people.

Thinking of this, Elder Zong made a special inspection.

Through the identification of the remaining fragrance of the pill and the degree of fire dryness, she found that all the pills were produced within half a year.

"Hiss!" Elder Zong took a deep breath.

She couldn't help but began to guess the identity of "Chen Dong".

Right now, in the Qingnang area, only Qingnang is in charge of such production capacity.

However, according to Elder Zong's knowledge, the alchemy workshop under Qingnang's administration currently has no production capacity, but no raw materials for alchemy. Therefore, it has been doing sub-processing all year round in exchange for a meager processing fee.

It is simply impossible to sell so many pills.

Besides, she knew it clearly.

For high-ranking monks, instead of selling the elixir for spiritual stones, it is better to hand it over to the Earth Palace in exchange for political achievements.

And political achievements can be exchanged for many treasures.

These treasures are usually difficult to buy directly with spirit stones.Even if you can buy it occasionally, it basically appears at auctions, and you often have to bear a very high premium.

Therefore, due to emotion and reason, it is impossible for Lu Zhizheng to sell the elixir and exchange it for spirit stones.

"So, who is this?"

Zong Yueru thought so in her heart, but she had a smile on her face.

"Chen Daoyou, the shot is really extraordinary."

"I think the quality of these pills is very good. According to the price you proposed, fifty spirit stones per bottle, all of them will be purchased by the Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce."

"This is the spiritual deed. If there is no problem, please sign it here."

Lu Zhong checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed the spirit deed.

Once the contract is reached, the money and the goods will soon be settled.

Before leaving, Zong Yueru handed out a dozen messenger symbols and said sincerely:

"Chen Daoyou, if there are still such benefits in the future, feel free to contact the concubine. No matter how many there are, the concubine will guarantee a preferential price to buy them."

"If there are any more, I will consider them."

Lu Zhong said so, but he didn't intend to continue to make deals with the Shuofeng Chamber of Commerce in a short time.

There is no other reason, it is so conspicuous.

He reckoned that after today's transaction is completed, there will definitely be many forces who will turn their attention to this. If they continue to attract attention, they will easily cause unnecessary trouble.

For the sake of caution, it is appropriate to ship again after a period of time.
