Since the classification of cauldron furnaces is the same as that of flames, in addition to being convenient for differentiation, it naturally also has a certain basis.
The heaven-level cauldron is made of materials from all over the heavens;
Spirit-level cauldrons are made from materials containing something from spirit beasts, such as spirit beast bone powder;
Earth-level cauldrons are made from rare materials mined underground, such as Earth-level steel;
Xuan-level cauldrons are basically made from the most common and common materials, such as gold, silver, copper and iron.
Although there are four levels of distinction, the cauldrons used by most alchemists and weapon refiners are at the Xuan level.
There are relatively few people at the Earth level, and as for those at the Spirit level, they are even rarer, and even if they exist, they are only of the first to third grades at most.
Cauldrons of the fourth level and above at the spiritual level have only appeared in legends. As for the heaven-level cauldrons, they have not even appeared in legends. They only exist in the imagination of practitioners, because the Nine Heavens itself is a
legend.
The waiter is naturally very discerning. As soon as he heard Yao Shan's words, he knew that the guest was already unhappy and thought what he said was too loud, so he quickly said with a smile: "You are always joking, there is no one in the world."
Every shop can have a fourth-level cauldron, and the best cauldron in our store is the Xuan-level fifth-level cauldron."
"Fifth level Xuan level!" Yao Shan frowned, obviously this level cauldron was not what he wanted.
However, Ye Dong on the side could not help but touch the money bag in his arms.
As the young master of the Ye family, Ye Dong has a fixed pocket money on weekdays, one tael of silver a month, and he has almost no expenses, so he has saved all his pocket money over the years, plus red envelopes from his elders during the Chinese New Year.
There are about two hundred taels in total.
If he adds his grandpa's one hundred taels of silver that he is not planning to use, then the money he carries is three hundred taels.
At this time, he couldn't help it anymore and coughed: "Man, how much do you sell a fifth-grade Xuan-level cauldron?"
"If you pay in cash, it will be cheaper. If you pay in cash, it will be a little more expensive. Of course, if you have a spiritual crystal, it will be even cheaper!"
The banknote needs to be exchanged at a bank, and the bank will charge a handling fee, so paying with a banknote will inevitably be more expensive, and spiritual crystals can actually be regarded as a common currency among practitioners.
“How much is cheaper and how much is more expensive?”
"Cash silver, 10,000 taels, banknotes, 11,000 taels, and spiritual crystal stones. The natural quantity will be different depending on the grade."
Ye Dong almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Although he expected that a fifth-grade Xuan-level cauldron would be very expensive, he really didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive!
Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for the entire Ye family to live comfortably for two years. However, here, it is only enough to buy a fifth-grade Xuan-level cauldron!
Although the price is indeed a bit high, it is not outrageous. Whether it is an alchemist or a weapon refiner, it can be said that everything they use is valuable.
This is one of the reasons why the number of alchemists and weapon refiners is so rare!
If you want to train an alchemist or an alchemist, not to mention other things, just the financial investment basically requires more than hundreds of thousands of silver taels. Although a cauldron may only cost 10,000, but refining medicine and refining
The furnace often explodes during the process of making the furnace. After the furnace is fried, the furnace is basically written off and needs to be replaced. Therefore, ordinary people, such as the Ye family, and even the three major families combined, do not have such strong financial resources.
.
But if it can really be cultivated, then this investment is nothing.
A third-grade dust vessel can be sold for millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver, and similarly, a good elixir is also worth so much money.
But now Ye Dong only had three hundred taels of silver, so he quickly and quietly pulled Yao Shan's sleeve, hoping that he would not be impulsive and buy that fifth-grade Xuan-level cauldron!
Yao Shan didn't even think that Ye Dong was worried about money now. He felt Ye Dong's pull and thought that Ye Dong was willing to get this Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron, so he nodded with a little helplessness and said: "Okay,
Since you only have the fifth grade Xuan level, you can make do with it, but let me take a look at this cauldron first."
Ye Dong almost spurted out another mouthful of blood, but before he could speak, the waiter had already said with a smile: "Okay, you two, please come with me!"
After he finished speaking, he led the way. When he walked to the wall, he touched his hand somewhere and heard a "clicking" sound of mechanical operation. It turned out that there was a secret room in this room.
An open door appeared on the wall, and the clerk stood at the door, smiling at the two of them: "You two, the Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldron is considered a valuable thing, so we have to be careful."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Dong hurriedly whispered to Yao Shan: "Mr. Yao, I don't have that much money!"
Yao Shan was slightly startled and said, "Then how much money do you have?"
"Three, three hundred taels!"
Hearing this, Yao Shan's brows knitted together, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "Have you bought the medicinal materials I asked you to buy?"
“I bought it and it’s on me!”
"Well, I understand, let's take a look at the cauldron first!"
Yao Shan could not blame Ye Dong. Ye Dong had not even entered the mortal realm, so how could he know the price of a good cauldron that an alchemist needs?
After telling the truth, Ye Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that Yao Shan still wanted to see the cauldron, just to find an excuse not to, so he followed Yao Shan in with confidence.
In the secret room.
The area of the secret room is not large. There are two long tables inside, and a cauldron is placed on each table. Compared with the cauldrons outside, which are mostly two or three meters high, these two are much smaller.
, are only half a man tall.
Both cauldrons are blue. The one on the left is of ordinary shape, with three legs and two ears. Several pine cranes are carved on the cauldron. The one on the right has a more peculiar shape, with two legs and two ears. The mouth of the cauldron is extremely small. Look carefully.
Go, it turned out to be a snake head with a wide mouth, and the snake head was made lifelike.
Ye Dong couldn't tell the quality of the cauldron, so he could only look at the appearance of the cauldron, and naturally he was partial to the snake cauldron.
"We have two Xuan-level fifth-grade cauldrons. Take your time, you two, and I'll go get you a cup of tea!"
The man nodded and walked out. Because the cauldron was huge in size and the secret room was completely sealed, with only one door in and out, he didn't have to worry about the two men stealing the cauldron.
However, after the clerk came to the lobby, he did not actually make tea. Instead, he whispered to a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind the counter: "Brother, they two seem to be buying Xuan Level 5."
Ping Yaoding, and their looks are very unfamiliar, they are definitely not from the three cities under our Luoying Sect, do you want to inform the inner disciples?"
The middle-aged man touched his chin and said: "Using a fifth-grade Xuan-grade medicine cauldron, you are at least a second-grade alchemist. How can you let such an important person go? I must inform the inner disciples and find a way to hold them back.
