After getting the Yuanyang grass, Gu Zuo started refining the elixir in the secret cave on the top of the mountain. The Huaixian Pavilion was about to open, so he had to hurry up and come up with the main product.

The first thing to refine is Wuwei Dihuang Pills. Gu Zuo can make one batch of this high-end elixir from Huaixian Pavilion a day, and get about six pills per batch. The cost of each pill of herbal medicine is about 500 Wen, so he can prescribe it for himself.

Excluding the labor cost of 500 yuan per pill, the total cost is consistent.

Gu Zuo refined it for six days and finally succeeded in refining thirty-six pills. There are five healing elixirs of the same type on the market in Heishan County. The most expensive ones are the Eighteen Grass Pills of the Yunmeng Sect and the Shenying Pill of the Kuocang Sect.

They are all eight guans, and the cheapest one is the ebony elixir from Wancaoyuan in Heishanzhao, which costs five guan. Gu Zuo plans to price it at five guan to test the waters first without disturbing the market.

Next is the essence-preserving pill. This kind of elixir is easier to refine. Gu Zuo opened three furnaces a day, and each furnace can guarantee nine pills. The success rate is 90%, which is about twenty-seven pills. Gu Zuo refined it in one go.

In fifteen days, I got 400 pills.

There is currently no elixir of this type on the market. This is to fill a gap in the market, and it will not have any impact on other elixirs. It is equivalent to adding a layer to the outside of the cake. Of course, there is no mature pricing model, so I asked Ding Jiugu:

"What's the price of our sperm-preserving pills? Will Jiu Gu buy it?"

Ding Jiugu thought for a while and said: "Five hundred coins? Six hundred coins?"

Gu Zuo looked at her hesitant expression and decided to set the price at three hundred cash, which would net him two hundred cash per pill.

Gu Zuo estimated that the amount of the elixir was almost enough in the first three months of opening. If all were sold, the total income would reach 300 guan, making a net profit of more than 200 guan.

If you only sell half of it, you can still make a net profit of 100 yuan, which is enough!

In fact, for Gu Zuo himself, it is not cost-effective to refine the essence-preserving pills. The Wuwei Dihuang Pills took six days and netted more than 140 yuan. The essence-preserving pills took 15 days but only netted eight dollars.

Ten Guan. Therefore, he planned to hand over the Baojing Pills to others to refine, and refine the Five Dihuang Pills himself every month or every three months to ensure the training time - provided that the sales were smooth.

Who should I hand over to refine the Essence Pills? Gu Zuo decided to open a shop and recruit disciples!

There is only one kind of spiritual grass in the Baojing Pill, which can be refined by monks in the early stage of Qi refining. Using Soul Searching True Qi to cast the Miaosu Danjing, even if it cannot achieve its own high efficiency, as long as it reaches one-third, it can squeeze ten ten pills a month.

In five days, you can make a net profit of 25 to 30 guan. If you use 5 guan as salary, you will still have at least 20 guan in net income for yourself. Tsk tsk, not bad!

Wu Guan's monthly salary, even in the Yunmeng Sect, is actually quite high. The only difference is that the apprentices he recruits are not mainly for cultivation, but mainly for making money through alchemy.

Of course, in addition to apprentices, you can also recruit one or two casual cultivators, mainly to do things and add to the appearance. After all, a Taoist temple listed in the "Tianxia Sect Book" has only one monk, which is still very embarrassing to say.

.

But Gu Zuo is now faced with a problem. He has not reached the foundation building level and cannot see the talent of people's cultivation. Suppose a young man wants to join the Huaixian Pavilion. Gu Zuo doesn't know if he has the talent to eat this bowl of rice. The only way

, that is, pass the Soul Searching Technique to the young man and try it for a few days. But this method is too difficult to operate.

First, you have to spend time explaining the Soul Searching Technique, and then instruct the opponent to absorb the spirit stones. This process is difficult to complete in seven or eight days. No matter how simple and easy to learn the Soul Searching Technique, he spent a long time in advance to slowly figure it out.

Yes, if you take the exercises and start practicing, you are not a monk, you are a god.

Secondly, if the other party is not suitable for practice - this is a high probability event, what should we do next? Erase the Soul Searching Technique from the other party's mind? This is really impossible.

In addition, if you want to recruit casual cultivators, Gu Zuo can feel the other party's true energy, but cannot tell the other party's level from the intensity of the true energy. Different cultivation levels represent different salaries, so he cannot say that he is a foundation builder.

, the price is really based on foundation building, right?

Gu Zuo's solution was to find someone to borrow a magic weapon.

Zhong Shenjun did not expect that Gu Zuo would come to him to borrow a magic weapon. Generally speaking, most monks will wait until they have reached the foundation level before they start accepting disciples. Even if there are a few who accept disciples in advance, there are people who are above the foundation level behind them.

The seniors of the sect helped to support him, and it was really rare for him to be in a situation like Gu Zuo's.

Of course, Gu Zuo would not tell Zhong Canjun that the purpose of his apprenticeship was not to pass on his skills but to make money. He only said that his family was in a special situation and he needed to "pass on the family lineage" as soon as possible.

Having already talked about this, Zhong Canjun couldn't ask too deeply, so he smiled and asked: "Do you want me to help you borrow something from the Law Department?"

Gu Zuo said helplessly: "I definitely can't borrow magical weapons from the big sects like Luofu Sect and Qingcheng Sect. Other small sects rarely have such expensive magical weapons. I've heard before that the various states and counties have their own magic weapons."

For a magic weapon that can detect the cultivation level of a criminal, I can only ask the army to help."

"Do you want to borrow Fa Si's set?"

"There is no other way. Something is better than nothing. If I know a sect that has this thing and is willing to borrow it, I would certainly be happy to join the army, even if I have to pay some money."

"Well...it really doesn't exist, so whatever, I'll go and run it for you."

When a household secretary joins the army and borrows something from someone in the same yamen, no matter what it is, the success rate is much higher than that of outsiders. Zhong Canjun actually borrowed the thing, but he can't get it yet.

"Chen Mazi is not in the Justice Department and has gone out to do some business. The chief of the Law Department said that the problem is not big, but it only requires Chen Mazi's consent. Don't worry, he hasn't traveled far. I'll tell him when he comes back and I won't refute it.

For the sake of my face, I will send someone to take you to Gengjin Mountain when the time comes."

"Why are you embarrassed? Zhong Shenjun will send someone to inform you, and I will just come and get it myself."

"If I have time to send someone to inform you, I might as well send it to you directly. By the way, can you use that set of magic tools?"

"How can I use it? I've only heard about it before and never seen it before. I need to ask Zhong Junjun to send someone who knows how to use it to give us some guidance."

After the matter was done, Gu Zuo thanked Zhong Canjun and said goodbye: "Then I will go back first. Welcome Canjun to come to Gengjin Mountain as a guest when you have time. Finally, I would like to ask if the Huaixian Pavilion is recruiting people. Can it be done at the Baibi in front of our county governor's house?

Write a notice on it? I can pay for it.”

Zhong Shenjun said: "No need. At the end of every year, it is the time for the sects near Yuanhe River to look for people. Except for Hongfu Temple, Lotus Leaf Cave, Guchi Villa, Xianglumen, Hanshan Sect, and Wanhe Valley, this is the time.

To recruit people, you put the sect’s sign and recruitment notice at the intersection, and people will naturally go up the mountain to take the exam. Today is November 25th, so prepare first. As far as I know, it starts on the first day of December.

."

Gu Zuo raised his hand and said, "Thank you Zhong Canjun. Let's join in the fun at Huaixian Pavilion and recruit people together."

Zhong Shenjun looked at Gu Zuo and said: "I know your past. It's not easy to maintain Huaixian Pavilion until now. As long as you work hard, Heishan Zhaohui will be your home!"

Gu Zuo was stunned and couldn't say a word, so he bowed to the end.

After leaving Husi's door, Gu Zuo waved his fist: "You have to work hard!"
Chapter completed!
