Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 6 Five times the profit

"eighteen……"

"Tu shopkeeper, why didn't you go to Goulan to listen to the music, and started singing at home?"

When Xu Mu stepped into the shop, he saw a black and thin middle-aged man, lying on a rocking chair, squinting his eyes, shaking his head and singing a ditty.

"So it's Alchemist Xu!"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, turned his head and stood up leisurely.

"There are some old tunes in the Goulan, I'm tired of listening to them, it's not as comfortable as humming them myself! What's the matter? Selling Bigu Pills again?"

"Ok!"

Xu Mu nodded, and took out five bottles of Bigu Pill that had been refined.

"Can't you save more and sell it again? It's so piecemeal every time!"

Shopkeeper Tu complained while picking up the elixir for inspection.

Although his shop is small, selling so many bottles at a time is really disgusting.

"I think so too! It's a pity that I'm so shy! Why don't you lend me some first?" Xu Mu laughed.

He is over fifty years old, but he won't blush with embarrassment because of such a little complaint.

"If you are willing to press the alchemy furnace to me, it is not a big deal to lend you dozens of spirit stones!"

"The alchemy furnace is not acceptable! That's the guy I eat!"

Xu Mu flatly refused.

He and the other party have been friends for more than ten years, and they know each other well, and they often joke about each other.

"Huh? Top grade!"

Shopkeeper Tu picked up one of the fluorescent pills, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that your alchemy has finally improved! There is hope for foundation building in the future!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Xu Mu scolded with a smile.

"Give me all the spirit stones and replace them with medicinal materials for refining Qi Gathering Pill!"

"Oh?"

Shopkeeper Tu looked up at Xu Mu, showing a hint of surprise.

"What, you still don't give up? Isn't it good to refine Bigu Pills honestly? You are now able to refine high-grade Bigu Pills. As long as you keep the quality stable, you will definitely earn more than before!" Shopkeeper Tu kindly reminded.

Before the elixir reaches a [-]% success rate, it is basically a waste of money.

As far as Xu Mu's current conditions are concerned, he is really not optimistic.

"Recently, I have had an epiphany. I feel that alchemy technology has improved a lot, and it might be successful! The profit of Bigu Dan is too low, so I have to fight for my wife and children!"

Xu Mu's words revealed part of the information, so give the other party a vaccination first.

"Just because you have a wife and children, you shouldn't take risks!"

Shopkeeper Tu reminded again.

Ever since he helped his father in the store, Xu Mu has been selling pills here. Although his father evaluated him as a rotten tree, he still doesn't want the other party to end up in a dead end after more than ten years of friendship.

"You just have to sell me, success or failure is just a matter of a few spirit stones!"

"It's up to you! Don't refine the useless pill when it's time, just let me sell it for you!"

Shopkeeper Tu put away the Bigu Pill, turned around and went into the back hall, after a while, he brought three medicines.

"The medicinal materials of Gathering Qi Pill are worth two spirit stones, and your medicine is only worth five spirit stones. The one less will be my gift to your daughter!"

"Thank you!"

Xu Mu thanked him sincerely.

The world is full of bad people, but occasionally there are a few good people.

Xu Mu put the medicinal materials in the storage bag, turned around and left the medicine shop, and walked towards the direction of the shanty town.

After buying the medicinal materials, he is now almost penniless.

Why don't you go home and stay in Fangshi to drink the northwest wind?

"I'm getting old, and I don't know how to be safe. Don't make it to the end. A wife who spends money is cheaper than others!"

Seeing the back of Xu Mu going away, Shopkeeper Tu complained, and continued to lie there humming his own ditty.

Although their family is not rich, they can live comfortably by guarding this shop.

Compared with Xu Mu, it is a heaven and a land.

……

There is a flying sword above the head, which turns into a meteor and flies by.

There are majestic spirit beasts roaring by the roadside!

People passing by are wearing gorgeous robes, dazzling.

Although it is only a small market, it has all the five internal organs. What is available in the world of cultivating immortals is available here.

unfortunately,

All of this has nothing to do with Xu Mu for the time being.

He walked through the crowd carefully, avoiding conflicts with monks he didn't know.

After leaving Fangshi, he used his light body technique and rushed home as fast as possible.

Sun Daocheng, who was standing guard at the entrance of the alley, didn't realize for a moment that Xu Mu had already passed by.

Bang bang!

"Ying'er! It's me!"

Ye Yingying looked out from the crack of the door, and after confirming that it was Xu Mu, she hurriedly opened the door with a relieved smile on her face.

Xu Mu walked in and closed the door.

"Sir, why are you so fast today?"

Ye Yingying asked in Xu Mu's arms.

"Of course it's because I miss you!"

Xu Mu, who was in a good mood, made a joke with Ye Yingying.

"Hmm! I miss you too!"

Ye Yingying looked at him with affection.

"..."

Cough!

Xu Mu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two got tired of it for a while, because Xu Mu didn't dare to go any further because he had just given birth, and asked Ye Yingying to go back to the bedroom to rest, while he went into the utility room, preparing to refine Qi Gathering Pill.

"Whether you can live a good life in the future depends entirely on today!"

Xu Mu prayed silently in his heart.

Put the alchemy furnace in place, take out the medicinal materials, and Xu Mu checked everything.

Purple Orchid Leaf Grass, Bone Washing Flower, Black Leaf Lotus, Snake Saliva Fruit, Juling Grass...

After checking it over and over twice, Xu Mu finally felt relieved.

He is really shy in his pocket, and once the refinement fails, he will probably feel distressed for a long time.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on it, recalling the refining process over and over again to make sure nothing went wrong.

puff!
With a flick of the finger, the flames burn.

Xu Mu concentrated on it.

The medicinal materials were put in one by one in order.

Under Xu Mu's control, the flames continuously revolved around the alchemy furnace, forming a vortex of flames.

Because of being overly nervous, Xu Mu's spiritual power was consumed very quickly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the room was also steaming.

It's October now, the weather has long been cool, but in Xu Mu's room, it's like midsummer.

"When I have money in the future, I have to buy an insulated robe, which is really uncomfortable!"

Although it is controlled by the fire control technique, the temperature of the body surface will not rise indefinitely, but being roasted by the fire like this is really uncomfortable.

And isolating the temperature itself also consumes energy.

If he had a magic robe, it would be easier for him to make alchemy.

However, the cheapest magic robe also needs a middle-grade spirit stone, which is the same price as his alchemy furnace, which is not affordable for him yet.

With the passage of time, the medicinal materials in the pill furnace have been completely fused.

After Xu Mu used the formula to extract the impurities, the properties of the medicine began to precipitate, and the medicine liquid began to fuse and coagulate.

hum!
The moment the elixir took shape, the runes on the elixir furnace suddenly lit up.

"rise!"

Xu Mu's method flew up, and the next moment, the furnace lid was opened, and eleven round, green pills flew out of it and landed in Xu Mu's palm.

"Eleven! Ten are high-grade, and only one is middle-grade!"

Xu Mu's excited hands trembled slightly, and he took a few deep breaths before calming down.

These days are like a dream to him.

From the beginning life was hopeless and could only accept fate, until the birth of her daughter, the system suddenly awakened, and her strength was reborn.

Everything is like a dream!
Make him feel unreal!

I was afraid that I would wake up the next day with nothing, and I couldn't bear to see my wife's exhausted appearance.

until this moment,
Holding the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand, that real feeling finally made him settle down.

Everything is imaginary, only what is held in the hand is real.

In fact, at his master level of Qi Gathering Pill, it is natural for him to succeed in refining, but it would be strange if he failed in refining.

He was only so nervous because he took it too seriously.

He put ten of them into the bottle, left one in his mouth, swallowed it, and began to close his eyes to restore the spiritual power in his body.

The Qi Gathering Pill entered the abdomen, and immediately turned into medicine and spread to the whole body.

Xu Mu felt as if his body was soaked in cool spring water, creating a kind of transparency from the inside out.

The Perfect Level Spiritual Flame Art was running, and the surrounding spiritual energy, like migratory birds returning to their nests, poured into his body one after another.

"The absorption speed of spiritual energy has increased by more than [-]%! No wonder Qi Gathering Pill is so popular!"

Xu Mu was both surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the effect of the elixir is so strong.

Fortunately, this medicine was refined by him.

An hour later, the spiritual power in Xu Mu's body was fully recovered, and he even had a little bit of effort, which was worth the two or three days of hard work he had done before.

"It's true, it's good to take medicine for a while, but it's always good to take medicine all the time!"

Opening the system to check, the cultivation base has indeed increased a little.

He has been in the system for so many days, this is the first time his cultivation base has improved.

If he took the elixir every day in the future, he felt that he would be able to break through the fourth level of Qi training in two or three months.

Of course, in addition to Qi Gathering Pill, there are also reasons for the improvement of skills.

This improvement speed was more than ten times faster than before.

"Do you want to raise the Lingyan Jue to a higher level?"

At the thought of being promoted to the fourth level of Qi training, Xu Mu suddenly couldn't wait.

But think about it, forget it for the time being!
His primary purpose is not to improve his cultivation, but to get rid of poverty and become rich.

With the master-level fire control technique, he does not need to rely on improving his cultivation to increase his strength for the time being.

Next, Xu Mu made persistent efforts to refine the other two medicinal materials into Qi Gathering Pill.

In the end, a total of 34 Qi Gathering Pills were harvested, including 29 high-grade pills, four medium-grade pills, and one top-grade pill.

After collecting all the pills and instructing his wife, Xu Mu left the house again.

This time, he didn't meet Sun Daocheng, and he didn't know if he was absent or had given up.

After arriving in Fangshi, Xu Mu didn't go to the shopkeeper's Saussurea pharmacy, but instead went to the largest pharmacy in Fangshi, the Song family pharmacy selling energy-gathering pills.

It's not that he's ungrateful, but also that his alchemy skills have improved too fast, if Shopkeeper Tu has any tricks, the little friendship between the two of them may be broken up.

You can only repay the other party in another form if you have the opportunity in the future.

"This fellow Taoist doesn't know what you want to buy?"

A tall and slender maid in a blue Taoist robe, with a beauty mole in the corner of her eye, greeted her with a smile on her mouth.

Although Xu Mu's attire was full of the shabbiness of a low-level monk, the woman still received him warmly.

Not because she's high quality, just because it's her job.

"I want to sell Qi Gathering Pills! I don't know if you accept them here?" Xu Mu asked.

Although I have lived here for decades, this is the first time I have come to the Song Family Pharmacy.

Even if the low-grade bigu pills he refined in the past were accepted by others, he would be ashamed to sell them.

"Of course! I wonder how much you want to sell?"

Hearing that Xu Mu was going to sell Qi Gathering Pill, the woman's eyes lit up slightly.

Gathering Qi Pill is a very sought-after elixir, and the supply is basically in short supply. If she can buy a large amount, there will be a lot of rewards in the store.

"Thirty grains!"

"Thirty grains?"

The woman's face was slightly stiff.

That's all?
In the past, she also received alchemists who came to sell medicines. For first-level pills like Qi Ju Pills, at least a few hundred pills were sold each time, and most of them were thousands of pills.

She even met tens of thousands of people a few times!
Dozens of grains...

It really is!
"Do you want to test the pill?"

Xu Mu seemed unable to see the embarrassment in the other party's expression, and asked calmly.

"When, of course!"

The woman's face returned to normal.

Although thirty grains is a bit small, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Besides, a maid of hers has no right to drive people away.

"plz follow me!"

After receiving Xu Mu to the compartment in the back hall, the woman turned and left.

Not long after, a bald old man followed the woman in.

"You want to sell pills? Take them out!"

The bald old man was visibly impatient.

But due to the rules in the store, I had to take over.

Xu Muquan pretended not to see it.

He took out the three bottles of pills and handed them over.

At first, the bald old man didn't pay much attention to it, until he saw the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill, his expression became a little more serious.

He took it under his nose and smelled it, then scraped off some powder and tasted it, his expression suddenly became different.

"You made this elixir?"

He looked at Xu Mu, not sure.

Judging from the color and taste of the elixirs, these Qi Gathering Pills were all just refined.

This is very likely to show that the other party is an alchemist, rather than changing hands from other people.

Although Xu Mu in front of him is a bit old, he can refine the best Qi Gathering Pill, and the ability to refine Qi Gathering Pill has at least reached the level of perfection.

This is not easy at all!

This shows that the opponent has the ability to refine high-grade Qi Gathering Pills in large quantities!
Although their Song family has stronger second-tier alchemists, there are not many who can refine a large number of high-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

"it's me!"

Xu Mu nodded.

There's nothing to hide about this stuff.

In the future, he will sell it in large quantities, even if he wants to hide it, he can't hide it.

The reason why he came to the Song family drugstore to sell it was because the other party's backstage was powerful, and his things were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party, and they were not worth caring about.

Seeing Xu Mu's affirmative answer, the bald old man was silent for a while and said: "If you are willing to sign a contract with our pharmacy and sell us Qi Ju Dan in a fixed amount every month, I can buy your elixir at [-]% of the market price." !"

After all, they also want to make money, and it is impossible to buy them at market prices.

"[-]% of the time, I agree!" Xu Mu said.

The supply of Qi Gathering Pills is in short supply, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them, and the refining process is entirely done by him alone, and the other party does nothing and takes [-]% for nothing.

So the price is not low!
Of course, he can also take it to the market and sell it by himself, but because there is no store as an endorsement, the buyer and the seller cannot trust each other, which will be very troublesome.

Xu Mu had his wife in his heart, so he really didn't dare to waste time on this kind of thing.

"Impossible! Unless you pass the assessment and join our pharmacy!"

The bald old man flatly rejected Xu Mu's price.

"let it go!"

Xu Mu shook his head.

The reason for his refusal was not only that the price offered by the other party did not satisfy him, but also because he did not want to be bound by the contract.

He doesn't intend to refine Qi Gathering Pill for a lifetime.

In the end, the bald old man bought his batch of pills at [-]% of the market price.

And promised that he is welcome to sign the contract at any time.

Xu Mu agreed casually.

Although it was only 27% of the market, the [-] Qi Gathering Pills allowed Xu Mu to harvest [-] low-grade spirit stones.

Ordinary middle-grade energy-gathering pills are one piece at a time, while Xu Mu's is top-grade, which is [-] times that of middle-grade, and [-] times that of top-grade, and finally rounded up to a whole number.

After deducting the cost of the six spirit stones, he made a net profit of 21 yuan this time.

If you count the three eaten halfway and the one left on your body, the overall profit is as high as five times.

"Alchemists are really making money!"

At this moment, Xu Mu finally felt that alchemy was good!
