Chapter 354: Alchemy
Following
Wu Meng came to the mine to inspect the circle, and then sat at the door of the mine to prepare to read a book while waiting for the miners to hand over the mine. That's her day's work, it's boring and tight.
Although there is no oil and water in this mine, the people who are assigned here are all low in cultivation and have no skills. is also over forty-five years old, and his strength is less than others, and he can only wait for death if he doesn't mine well, so Wu Meng doesn't have to supervise it, it's still worry-free.
Besides, the housekeeper had already made work arrangements when she supervised the work before, which made her even more worry-free.
"Master Bai, you're here!" the miners had already arrived, and Wu Meng had already arrived, and they all smiled and greeted each other.
"Well, take your stuff and go down. Wu Meng nodded, she had already read their information last night, they were all honest people, and those who were not honest would not stay here, so they had already found a chance to leave.
"Hey!" the miner replied and went down the mine with his tools.
"Master Bai, I heard some movement from you last night, but what happened?" said a fifty-year-old monk with gray hair and several folds on his face.
"It's nothing, it's just a rat demon in the house. Wu Meng smiled.
Although they are all honest people who have seen the market, they immediately became nervous when they heard Wu Meng say this.
"Don't worry, this rat demon won't find you. Wu Meng reassured.
Everyone was a little relieved, but there were one or two gossips who thought of inquiring about the rat demon, but when they saw Wu Meng's expression of not wanting to speak, they just shut up, carried the tools and went down the mine with them.
No one disturbed Wu Meng to read and read, and soon it was noon, and the housekeeper reminded Wu Meng in time that it was time for lunch.
"Master Bai, the rice has been brought over, so I'll put it here for you, and I'll come back to get the rice bucket after noon. "The person who brought the food was a woman in her forties and fifties, her family lived nearby, she was one of the women invited by the Danqi Sect to cook for the miners, and I heard that her man was also in the mine, but not in the mine cave of Wumeng.
"Well, it's hard work. Wu Meng stood up, walked to the three rice buckets and checked them, and signed the booklet brought by the woman and handed it back to the woman. Go to the edge of the mine and ring the bell.
This is a bell and a spiritual weapon, as long as it is a product, its role is only to transmit sound. As soon as the bell rang, all the miners in the cave knew. In less than a quarter of an hour, the miners came out one after another.
When the miners saw the three rice buckets on the ground, they didn't need Wu Meng's orders, so they began to load the rice in an orderly manner. This is also a credit to the housekeeper.
Seeing that everyone began to eat, Wu Meng couldn't help but start secreting saliva, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a bag of dried meat and gnawed it. Well, it tastes good.
After lunch, the miners had a half-hour break, and the miners sat around in twos and threes chatting without knowing what to do, and Wu Meng continued to read the book.
"White is in charge. At this time, a hesitant voice sounded, Wu Meng looked up, it was a man in his fifties, at this moment he had a somewhat strange smile on his face, why was it strange, just because this man had a serious square face, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff. It's not that it's not inappropriate to laugh.
"What's the matter?" said Wu Meng.
"That, I heard that Master Bai came from the Dandian of the Zongmen and was an alchemist. The fifty-year-old man hesitated.
"Hmm!" Wu Meng nodded.
"I collected a few medicinal materials for the Qi Nourishing Pill a few days ago, and I want you to refine them, I don't know if you can do it, I still understand the rules of the Dan masters, three medicinal materials and one pill. The man said with a blushing face.
"Qi Nourishing Pill?" Wu Meng was stunned when he heard this, when was the last time he refined the Spirit Cultivation Pill? It seems that when he first learned alchemy, it had been seven or eight years. "This is the most ordinary pill, right? Why don't you just buy it?" "How troublesome is it to collect spirit grass to refine?" This kind of first-grade pill should only be willing to be refined by those first-grade pill masters, right?
"This bottle of inferior Qi Nourishing Pill costs five spirit stones, and I only have five spirit stones after collecting five points of medicinal materials, so we miners may not be able to earn two spirit stones a day. So I thought it might be more cost-effective to buy some medicinal herbs to refine the pill. The man counted with his fingers, but in a blink of an eye, the man had a bitter face.
"Who knew that I had collected the medicinal materials and went to the town to find Dan masters to refine them, but those Dan masters were disgusted with the fact that the remuneration was too small and they were unwilling to help me refine them. I didn't give up and asked a few more Dan Masters, and those Dan Masters said that unless I was paid more than ten spirit stones, if I had 10 spirit stones, I wouldn't have to go to great lengths to collect these medicinal materials. ”
Wu Meng nodded when he heard this, I see. The income of miners is indeed quite low, generally 60 spirit stones a month, and 30 spirit stones a month for an older person is too much. Of course, if there is no one in the family to cultivate immortals, this income is already good, after all, mortals generally trade in gold, silver or spirit beads. But once someone cultivates immortals, these sixty spirit stones can only be stuffed between their teeth.
Seeing Wu Meng nodding, the man suddenly felt hopeful, with an expectant smile on his face, "My little grandson's spiritual root is good, eat more elixirs to raise his cultivation, and maybe he can enter the sect as a handyman or something in the future." You don't have to work as hard as I do, and you don't have to work so hard. ”
Wu Meng glanced at the man again, hey, no matter what world you are in, parents always think about planning for their children.
"Originally, I also thought about selling the medicinal herbs and going directly to buy the pills. However, a few days ago, I heard that Master Bai was also a Danshi, so I thought about trying again. Please don't blame Master Bai!" The man became nervous again at the end.
"It's okay, it's okay to ask me to help you refine the pill, the rules are still according to the market, three medicinal materials and one pill. As for the extra reward, it's a pill and a spirit stone. Wu Meng said, although he can help him for free, but there are two of them, and he is not a virgin.
The man was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little disappointed, but he thought that those Dan masters before also asked him to take out an extra 10 spirit stones to help with alchemy. Is it very rare for Bai to ask for a pill and a spirit stone.
I just happened to collect six points of medicinal materials, that is, I want to have two more spirit stones, which is acceptable, but I will be tired in the past few days.
"Okay, Master Bai, I'll give you the medicinal herbs. The man said happily after figuring it out. Waving his hand, he took out a large bag from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Wu Meng.
Wu Meng frowned when he saw this, these spirit grasses were a little bad, and the spiritual energy had also lost a little.
"Master Bai, are you okay with these medicinal herbs?" the man hurriedly asked when he saw Wu Meng frowning.
"It's a bit too bad, and the quality of the refining may be a little poor. Although she is confident in her alchemy level, this preventive injection still needs to be given in advance.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Master Bai can refine the Oxygen Pill. The man laughed, and then reluctantly touched out two lower-grade spirit stones. "Master Bai, this is a spirit stone. ”
"No, wait until I refine the elixir and give me the spirit stone. Wu Meng shook his head and waved his hand to put the bag of spirit grass into the companion space.
"Then, I'll thank Master Bai first. The man smiled even more.
