Chapter 167 The waste of fairy spirits 28
Three days later, the finished products came out of the two small furnaces. Basically, only one or two out of ten were discarded, and the rest were all sent to the Taoist temple shop at the foot of the mountain for sale.
The sales were quite good, and they were sold out in no time. It happened to be the beginning of each month, and the money came out immediately. But it was not enough for one crystal, so Xining asked for the money and gave it to the Taoist in order to settle the bill.
With two taels of silver in his hand, the Taoist immediately beamed. Ordinary people might need to work for two taels of silver for a whole month, but now they only had three nights of watching the fire and got so much money.
He asked cautiously: "Do you still practice?"
Because cultivators all seem to be aloof from the world, they regard themselves as aloof, and disdain the smell of copper all over their body.
Xining nodded: "Okay, continue!"
The Taoist touched the two taels of real gold and silver in his sleeve with his fingers, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "I can see up to five furnaces!"
Oh? Xi Ning's eyes lit up, glowing like gold. He immediately ran to Uncle Zhao and asked for two more minimum alchemy furnaces, and opened the five together!
For a moment, Xi Ning's exclusive small room was steaming with steam, and the door had to be opened. If it weren't for the severe winter, it would be like an oven.
When the elixirs from the four small alchemy furnaces came out and were sent to the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, the middle furnace was also finished, and this time there were three pills.
Three pills is basically guaranteed capital, with a slight loss.
If it were before, I would have felt so distressed, but now I just rush to the pharmacy to prepare ingredients. I have money now and can afford to lose!
Two months later, Xining took the medicine and went to the main hall to find Palace Chief Liu. At the door, she heard someone impeaching her.
"I didn't learn well at a young age, so I was refining inferior and low-grade elixirs every day."
"That's right, one month's supply of firewood is equivalent to the side hall."
"Master, you have to take care of her. You can't let her do anything nonsense anymore."
Then I heard Palace Chief Liu calling from inside: "That's Xi Ning outside the door, right? Come in."
The cultivators had keen senses and were discovered. Xining then walked in!
The two senior brothers were sitting around Chief Liu Gong, who came here was not a good person.
"Master!" Holding the bowl in both hands, he handed it over respectfully: "Master, please take a look at the newly refined Continuation Pill."
Palace Chief Liu took the bowl and said, "Oh, I made seven this time."
"The quality is also good." He picked up one and looked at it. After putting it down, he remembered something: "I remember that you also made the Continuation Pill in the last batch, and six of them have been produced."
"Yes, Master remembered it correctly." Xining chuckled: "I could have made other ones, but I thought that the Continuation Pill was more popular, so I could make it more solid by making it one more time."
One of the senior brothers sneered coldly: "It's true that you can sell it for more money, right?"
Xi Ning said nothing, he was right, it was just to sell more money!
However, Palace Chief Liu seemed not to have heard anything, and asked Youyou: "In the past two months, it seems that you have never stopped. You have made a total of eight furnaces of elixirs, discarded one furnace, and how much has been produced in the seven furnaces?"
Xining took out a small notebook: "Two batches of Hemostatic Pills, a total of 15 pills. Because the Continuation Pill was just made, one batch was scrapped, and there are four more batches. The first two batches have a total of 5 pills, and the last two batches have a total of 13 pills, making a total of 18 pills.
.”
Liu Gongchang stroked his beard: "Then the Continuation Pill will make a small profit, and the Hemostatic Pill will definitely make a profit."
"Yes, master." Xining pretended to be honest and smiled: "The next step is bone-extending pills. This is a bit difficult to make. It may take two or three furnaces to be scrapped. It should take at most two months to make it."
Liu Gongchang narrowed his eyes and nodded: "I am afraid of losing confidence in making alchemy, and I am afraid of spoiling the medicinal materials. Aren't you afraid of losing money while refining?"
Xining replied: "No, the pills in my other furnaces are enough to make up for the loss."
"Let me take a look at the other furnaces." Palace Chief Liu seemed to be a little curious.
Xining took a bag from his waist and handed it over.
Palace Chief Liu opened it and saw a small bag full: "There are so many!"
Xi Ning replied: "I am now using the larger furnace to refine one type of elixir, this time Xiaoshi Pills. The smaller furnace No. 2 can refine fifteen pills at a time, and this time a total of fifty-seven pills were produced in the four furnaces.
.”
Out of sixty pills, only three were used up, which is considered a high yield.
A senior fellow student was not happy: "With so many Xiaoshi pills, will it be possible to sell them in time?"
Another laughed: "Is it possible that the people who come here are full and need Xiaoshi pills to relieve flatulence?"
"It's not that it's too late to sell, it's that it's not enough to sell." Xi Ning responded: "Because the ten kinds of elixirs are refined in turn, a three-day cycle, plus the dispensing time, it is basically a month and three to five days. I have more than fifty at a time here.
There are four alchemists in Tianshi Palace who are also refining this
Some medicine, but they only use a small stove. Four people can only get out forty pieces at most at a time, which adds up to ninety pieces. It doesn’t take a month, and the ninety pieces are sold out in half a month at most. I plan to upgrade it again.
After level one, use the No. 3 small furnace to try to make twenty pieces in one furnace!"
The other party snorted coldly: "In the future, Tianshi Palace can be used as a pharmacy, specializing in selling medicines."
"Tianshi Palace originally sells medicine. Is it possible, senior brother, that the medicine you make doesn't cost money?" Xining blinked: "If you don't need money, give it all to me, I want it all."
I suddenly choked. From ancient times to the present, no one dared to say that refining elixirs was just for making money. Even dignitaries from the mountains said they were "asking for medicine" when they came to buy medicine.
Palace Chief Liu asked deliberately: "Xining, are you so short of money?"
"Short of money, so short of money!" Xining nodded fiercely: "The herbs for making medicine, the firewood for burning, and the moonlight for Taoist workers on the night shift, none of them will be settled and deducted before the end of the month? The new alchemy medicine has a lot of waste products, and it is impossible to make ends meet.
Once the furnace is scrapped, the monthly silver for that month will be supplemented. But now I am firing on all cylinders and refining elixirs non-stop, relying on not being afraid of scrapping."
Liu Gongzhang said leisurely: "You can practice again next month if you're done with it. It still takes a long time. Why are you so anxious?"
Xining also responded truthfully: "My senior brother Han Xuan will go to the Immortal Mansion to practice in four months. He hopes that I can give him enough pills, so I will give him the necessary pills for a second-level alchemist within half a year."
Refined all the ten most commonly prepared elixirs."
He rolled his eyes and said with compliments: "Let the people in other palaces know that all the disciples taught by Tianshi Palace are conscientious and have achieved success in their studies!"
Palace Chief Liu immediately laughed heartily and returned all the pills to her: "Go ahead and do whatever you want."
"Thank you, Master!" Xining went out with a bowl in one hand and a bag of elixirs in the other.
I heard the dissatisfaction of the two senior brothers inside who complained: "Master, that's it?"
Palace Chief Liu still said gently and leisurely: "She is doing this for the Tianshi Palace. In the past two months, her share in the palace alone has been more than the two of you combined. As a teacher, I need to refine Tianlong Crystal Essence Pills.
Refining this pill requires crystal stones, how about your two beloved disciples donate some?"
As soon as they heard this, the two of them burst into tears.
Xi Ning was secretly amused. No matter how talented Liu Gongzhang was, he still lived a good life. This master was right!
The Tianshi Palace did not mention her being greedy for money. There were even two low-level alchemists with poor qualifications who always abandoned their furnaces and added another furnace to refine ordinary low-grade elixirs.
