Chapter 150 Ingredients
"Isn't this a pharmacy? How can a psychedelic drug like cream powder be sold?"
In front of a building with yellow beams and red tiles, which looked quite ancient, Ulu couldn't help asking, looking at the heralds engraved on the beams.
The herald consists of a glass flask with a thin mouth and round bottom and herbs inserted into it. It is the unified herald of the Pharmacists' Guild. Most pharmacies in the world are registered under the name of the Pharmacists' Guild.
This pharmacy called "Jingzheng Pharmacy" is obviously no exception, but can psychedelic drugs be sold publicly in the pharmacy?
Upon hearing this, Catherine replied awkwardly: "The people who sell frost powder seem to have some relationship with the Dzi beads of the British Empire, but even so, of course they cannot be sold publicly. After entering, you must first find one of the clerks with fish bone marks on his left face, and then pretend to buy a 'frost powder' that can cure frost damage. If you are an acquaintance and take out the corresponding amount, you can buy 'frost powder'. Otherwise, you can only buy ordinary 'frost powder'. At the beginning, I had to come with Alva to buy it. But now I am a regular customer, that is, an acquaintance, so..."
Ulu nodded, and understood a little bit. He also knew that "frost powder" was a kind of medicine powder that cost only a few copper coins, and the selling price was probably not too expensive. In contrast, "frost powder" requires ten silver coins to buy a pack. From the amount of coins taken out by the customer, it can be easily seen which kind of medicine powder he wanted to buy.
"Let me borrow a gold coin first. There is a rule when buying frosted powder. You can buy up to ten packs at a time." Catherine opened her mouth and said again. Before she finished speaking, a blush appeared on her face. It was obvious that borrowing money from Ulu made her feel embarrassed.
Ulu smiled and took out a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into Catherine's hand. Since he knew the amount of the gold card, he didn't take the money seriously.
Catherine was stunned, then a hint of shame appeared. She picked out a gold coin from her hand, then stuffed the remaining gold coins back into Ulu's hand. Then she glared at Ulu, then turned around and entered the Gongzheng Pharmacy.
Ulu touched the tip of his nose. He soon realized that his actions were a bit frivolous. He couldn't apologize and had to keep up quickly.
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, his eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of medicinal materials. Most of the places in the pharmacy were filled with dense medicinal materials. Only in the glass cabinet in the middle could there be some finished medicines and powders.
The scarcity of these finished potions seems to tell the sadness of the alchemist.
In the era when alchemists were not yet declining, such pharmacies must be filled with various finished potions, and they will never be like the current pharmacies, with only a few scattered species. Nowadays, the so-called pharmacies branched from alchemists will only prepare some long-standing potions according to the formula, and even more of them are some banned secret recipes, such as psychedelic drugs, poppy poisons.
The reason why this pharmacy is filled with dense medicinal materials is actually just to support the storefront. Otherwise, there would be only one glass cabinet in the huge pharmacy. Wouldn’t it be quite ugly? Pharmacists also need to be shameless.
Catherine was very skillful in talking to one of the clerks, and Ulu took this opportunity to study the medicinal materials used as decorations. It was said that they could appear in the pharmacy at Yale Theological Seminary, but there were also some rare existences among these medicinal materials.
When Ulu thought that the medicinal materials needed to prepare antidotes containing cream powder might also be found here, he couldn't help but become serious.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and his eyes were staring at the medicinal materials that had been ground into earthy yellow powder. It was of course difficult to identify the type of medicinal materials from this powder alone, but there was a label next to it, with "Stone Yellow Powder" written very scribbled on it.
Shihuang is a medicinal material that looks very similar to ginseng. It also grows in the soil, but it is buried deeper than ginseng, making it harder to find. The stone yellow commonly used by pharmacists are artificially cultivated, and the stone yellow powder here should be no exception. However, this is enough. Shihuang is not a very precious medicinal material. There is little difference between artificial cultivation and natural growth. It can be used as a ingredient for "Qianyuan Liquid"!
Uruk brought the large number of seven-star rotten corpse leaves and the only nine-star rotten corpse leaves found from the underground of Fugalasha City. Of course, the green mother flowers that were accidentally found on the oasis did not fall.
Green mother flowers belong to wood and stone yellow and earth belong to earth, can all serve as ingredients for "Qianyuan Liquid".
After looking at Catherine's direction, she saw that she was still in the trade, Ulu first recorded the place where the stone yellow powder was placed, and then continued to search. The appearance of the stone yellow powder reminded him of the configuration of "Seven Yuan Liquid". He had promised Renee that he would distribute the configured "Seven Yuan Liquid" to them for part of it.
Moreover, this "Seven Yuan Liquid" also has an effect on him. Although the Divine Assistant cannot use this to stimulate spiritual power, it is still possible to use it to suffocate the body. Divine power is the source, the meridians are the channels, and the body is the container. The strength of the body will definitely be beneficial to cultivating divine power. If it can be configured as soon as possible, it may also allow Catherine to break through the current bottleneck faster.
As for the "Jiuyuan Liquid" that is a step further, Ulu never thought that it could be configured. "Seven Yuan Liquid" requires ingredients of seven attributes, and "Jiuyuan Liquid" requires ingredients of nine attributes. It is only a difference of two yuan, but it is very different. The two additional ingredients of the attributes are not so easy to find.
After a while, Ulu found a medicinal material called "Turusagra". The leaves of this "Turusagra" are as shaped like fire and are all red. They usually grow at the foot of a volcano. In addition to the harsh growth environment, they are not precious medicinal materials.
In fact, in the configuration of "Qianyuan Liquid", except for the Seven-Star Rotten Corpse Leaves as the main ingredient, you can use less precious medicinal materials to configure.
As long as the requirements are slightly reduced, he can almost find seven ingredients with different attributes in this prescription, including mulberry lotus, which is also wood-attributed as green mother flowers.
After thinking about it, he selected seven better medicinal materials from it and walked towards another clerk who seemed very leisurely in the prescription.
"Can the medicinal materials you have here sell?" Ulu asked straight to the point.
"Sell it, as long as you can afford it, you can sell it." The clerk rolled his eyelids and replied perfunctorily.
In fact, his attitude is normal. There are three clerks in this prescription, among which he and another clerk take turns to take charge of the shift. Only the clerk who is currently trading with Catherine is a permanent resident.
He never asked the clerk what he sold, and he was too lazy to ask, because this is Yale Theological Seminary, and there are divine servants who can use magic skills everywhere. Even if they have any disabilities, no one would think that this pharmacy would come here to buy medicine. Except for some daily needs, most of them come to buy banned drugs. Just like the beautiful girl with long legs, he could see it almost two or three times a week, but unfortunately he never walked towards him.
In other words, if you stay here, you will basically have no things to do, and you don’t even have a person to chat with, so you can’t help but become lazy.
But now he is truly the first customer of this month.
"Okay, get me some stone yellow powder, turquoise grass, mulberry lotus, wind pudding, soft water orchid, ice chrysanthemum, poisonous sunflower..."
A series of medicinal herbs were reported from Ulu, and the clerk was stunned. He had a faint impression of the names of medicinal herbs, but he only remembered two or three of them clearly. However, the people in front of him seemed to know them all?
"Wait, I'll bring it right away." The clerk seemed to be in a sudden interest, took out an iron plate divided into many squares from the counter, walked out in a few steps, and walked around the counters that contained medicinal materials, starting to look for the medicinal materials ordered by Ulu.
Ulu stood aside and watched the clerk rummaging around, but it took him a long time to find a medicinal material. He finally couldn't help it, so he simply walked to the clerk and pointed out the positions of the medicinal material one by one.
"One gold coin." pointed at the large bags of medicinal materials on the counter, and the clerk said.
Ulu rolled her eyelids. Combined with her experience just now, he had every reason to believe that the clerk had no idea how much these medicinal materials were worth, so he bargained casually: "Fifty silver coins."
"Okay, there are only fifty silver coins!" But the clerk had no intention of bargaining at all, so he directly finalized the price.
Ulu took out a gold coin and handed it to him, and said expressionlessly: "Let me fifty silver coins."
However, the clerk took out fifty silver coins from the cash counter and returned them to Ulu without even saying a word of nonsense.
Ulu put away the silver coins and saw that Catherine had completed the transaction. She stood at the door waiting for him. He didn't say much, picked up the bag of medicinal materials and prepared to leave the pharmacy.
"Hey, can you wait?" the clerk shouted again as Ulu turned around.
"Is there anything wrong?" Ulu turned around and asked. In fact, he was a little curious about the clerk's strange behavior.
"May I ask, are you a pharmacist?" the clerk asked carefully.
Ulu looked up and down and found that he was in his early twenties and seemed to be a student from Yale Theological Seminary, so he replied casually: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clerk immediately asked, "Is that an alchemist?"
Ulu was stunned, thought for a while and replied: "Yes."
