Chapter Eighty-Six: Cutting off the Ye family's wealth
For a whole day, Ye Dong was concentrating on refining the pills in the room, and the three medicinal materials had been completely used up by him, in exchange for a full sixteen first-grade Qi Replenishing Pills.
Smelling the refreshing fragrance and looking at the sixteen Qi Replenishing Pills, Ye Dong's heart was really full of pride and excitement, if these sixteen Qi Replenishing Pills were to be sold, even if one could only be sold for one thousand taels of silver, it would be sixteen thousand taels of silver, which was comparable to the total income of all the businesses of the entire Ye family for a year and a half.
Now, Ye Dong was finally able to realize the most direct benefit of being an alchemist, that is, it was too convenient and fast to make money, and the three medicinal materials cost less than ten taels of silver in total, and now the value had increased by more than a thousand times!
But this is also him, firstly, his potential and qualifications in refining medicine are really good, and secondly, as Yao Shan said, he has enough blood prison to make all alchemists envy to death, if it is replaced by someone else, even if it is a third-grade alchemist like Yao Shan, he does not dare to guarantee that he can refine the best pill every time.
The low-grade pills are okay, the success rate is very large, and with the continuous improvement of the pill level, the success rate is getting smaller and smaller, not to mention the extreme waiting, it is good to be able to refine it successfully.
The value gap between the top grade and the other upper, middle and lower grades is huge, after all, refining the ultimate elixir, in addition to the strength of the alchemist, there is also a very important luck component in it, and the existence of the blood of the sea of blood is equivalent to ensuring Ye Dong's luck.
In addition to these, Ye Dong also discovered that in fact, the process of refining the elixir is also the process of cultivation, and the aspects of cultivation are also all-round, involving aura, spiritual sense, flames, etc., it can be said that refining medicine and cultivation will not only not conflict, but can complement each other and complement each other.
Yao Shan affirmed Ye Dong's idea, because in addition to a geek like Ye Dong, alchemy requires full dedication, and there is no extra time to concentrate on cultivation, but the cultivation realm of the alchemist can also be continuously improved, which is the process of refining medicine, and it is actually the process of cultivation.
After putting away the Qi Replenishing Pill, Ye Dong looked at Yao Shan with eagerness and said, "Old Yao, can I refine the Second Grade Pill now?"
The muscles on Yao Shan's face twitched obviously, shook his head and said: "Young master, don't be too anxious, the Qi Replenishing Pill is just the most ordinary pill, and there are also some refining techniques that are more complicated in the first-grade pill, and after you really master it completely, then consider refining the second-grade pill, so let's do it, I will give you a few more pills, and then try it yourself when you have nothing to do, and I will come to check it after a while, as long as you are qualified, I will teach you to refine the second-grade pill." ”
When Yao Shan said this, Ye Dong also admitted that he was a little too anxious, he had just successfully refined the most ordinary pill, and he actually wanted to refine the second-grade pill, and he couldn't become a fat man in one bite, Ye Dong still understood.
For Yao Shan's words, Ye Dong also agreed, anyway, refining medicine can also be cultivated, and the refined medicine can also be sold for money, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
In addition, Ye Dong also wanted to buy a dust weapon sword for himself, firstly, to cultivate the "Proud Fire Sword Technique", and secondly, he also understood a lot about the benefits of the dust weapon, especially when he went to the Yama Palace in the future, he needed a dust weapon for self-defense.
The price of dust is high, and Ye Dong also knows it, so he doesn't have any plans for dust devices above the second grade, and he is content to have a first-grade dust device.
According to the several pills given by Yao Shan, Ye Dong went to buy all the medicinal materials he needed the next day, and held a bunch of them in large and small bags.
Although the Ye family was puzzled by Ye Dong's behavior, the old man had already instructed that in the Ye family, what Ye Dong wanted to do, even if the entire Ye family was demolished, no one was allowed to interfere, so they were strange and strange, so naturally they would not say anything.
Seven days later, Ye Dong looked at the six white jade bottles in front of him, which contained his harvest over the past few days, including the Qi Replenishing Pill, six kinds of first-grade pills, a total of one hundred, all of them were first-grade and extremely high-grade!
Ye Dong has really become a lot smarter because of the opening of the Shenting Acupoint, although several other pills were specially selected by Yao Shan and are specially suitable for newcomers to improve their alchemy skills, but in Ye Dong's opinion, they can be mastered after one or two attempts at most.
Seeing this scene, even the barbarian had to admit that Ye Dong was really a natural alchemist, and Yao Shan was also seriously considering teaching Ye Dong the second grade of the pill.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Yunyao City, sell all these pills, and then see if there is a suitable dust collector. ”
According to Yao Shan's estimate, this hundred pills can be sold for at least 100,000 taels of silver, although it is not possible to buy a second-grade dust vessel, but it is more than enough to buy a first-grade one.
After refining the medicine for seven consecutive days, even if Ye Dong was full of spiritual energy, he felt a little tired at the moment, and after sending Yao Shan and the others back to the blood prison, he packed up his things and pushed the door and walked out.
He hadn't seen his grandfather for more than twenty days in a row, and he should go and say hello.
As soon as he arrived outside his grandfather's study, before he could push the door, Ye Dong heard his third uncle's voice coming from inside, which made Ye Dong stop pushing the door, and wondered in his heart, the third uncle was not managing the Ye family's business in Autumn Leaves Town, and would only come back at the end of each month, and now it was only the middle of the month, why did he come back?
Ye Yunteng's voice sounded: "Dad, the Wang family suddenly stopped doing business with us, this is too big a blow for us!"
After a period of silence, Ye Yuanjun's voice also sounded: "Didn't the Wang family explain the reason?"
"I said it, but as soon as I heard it, I knew that Lu Dao was an excuse, and I guess it was probably because they had a better choice, so they didn't want to do business with our Ye family. ”
From the conversation between the two elders, Ye Dong had already heard some eyebrows, although he didn't know anything about the business done by his family, but he finally knew that his Ye family always had three kinds of business, the first was to reclaim the surrounding fertile land and sell some crops; second, the Ye family would enter the periphery of the Tianduan Forest every once in a while to hunt, and the prey they caught would naturally be sold as commodities.
But the money earned from these two businesses was a small amount, and the third type of business that really made money was the salt and metal that came in from a family called the Wang family, and then sold them.
As the old saying goes, the people of Li do not benefit from the mountains and seas!
It means that the common people can't be allowed to rely on the mountains and the sea!
There are metal deposits in the mountains, the sea can refine sea salt, metal can not only make agricultural tools, but also make sharp weapons, salt is needed by all ordinary people, even cultivators, therefore, in order to prevent the people from rebelling and disagreeing, any power will strictly control these two things.
Autumn Leaf Town, and even the entire Yifeng City, there is no sea around it, although it is close to the mountains, but in the depths of the Tianduan Mountain Range, even the masters of the Ten Spiritual Seals dare not enter at will, let alone look for metal ores in the mountains, therefore, the Ye family can come in These two commodities are indeed very popular with the common people, and they have also become the main source of economic income for the Ye family.
Now, the Wang family suddenly stopped doing business with the Ye family, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to cutting off the Ye family's financial route!
