Although he didn't know what level of elixir this Time-Returning Pill was, he could tell from the materials alone that this Time-Returning Pill required at least an earth-grade holy-level alchemist to refine it.
But Shang Gukong actually said that Qin Chen wanted to refine the elixir himself. How could this be possible?
"Yes, this elixir was indeed refined by me personally."
Qin Chen admitted openly, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "But not now, because I haven't found all the materials yet, and I still lack some necessary preparations for refining the Time Rejuvenation Pill.
I will not start refining until everything is ready. This preparation will take some time..." "I'm telling you."
The ancient medicine master suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Chen's intention was obviously to wait until he broke through to become an earth-level saint-level alchemist before refining it. However, it was so difficult to break through to become an earth-level saint-level alchemist.
A hundred years or a thousand years, could Shang Gukong still have time to wait?
Unexpectedly, Qin Chen's next words surprised him.
"This preparation time will probably take a month or two!"
Qin Chen said casually.
A month or two?
The ancient medicine master was shocked. Qin Chen said it would take some time. He thought it would be a thousand years or thousands of years. Who knew it would only take a month or two.
Damn it! He couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
He didn't realize that Qin Chen was bragging, because this kind of thing can't be bragged, and the truth will be revealed in a month or two.
"Hahaha, master of ancient medicine, why don't you come and see Mr. Chen?"
Seeing the stunned expression of the ancient medicine master, Shang Gukong laughed.
"Ancient medicine, I have seen Mr. Chen."
The ancient medicine master immediately saluted respectfully.
"well."
Qin Chen helped the ancient medicine master up, and he finally took the first step in Cangxuan City.
The next step is how to develop Chendi Pavilion.
The first thing Qin Chen did was to understand the alchemy forces in Cangxuan City and become familiar with the elixirs in the heaven.
To be honest, although Qin Chen is confident in his alchemy skills, he is not as good as the ancient medicine master in many elixirs and materials. After all, he does not know much about the elixirs in the heaven.
In the past, there were not many books on this subject in the Ancient Zhong Sect, but in this ancient medicine hall, there is naturally no shortage of information on this subject.
After learning that Qin Chen needed to read all the classics on elixirs, the ancient medicine master didn't know why Qin Chen wanted to know these basic things, but he still decisively took out all the classics he had collected.
Even the ancient alchemy skills he obtained from the mysterious ruins were not hidden.
This is not something particularly remarkable, something that cannot be shown to others. If the alchemy master can cultivate it by casually flipping through the classics and looking at the alchemy techniques, then there will not be only a few saint-level alchemists in the heaven. Ancient medicine
It has been at least tens of thousands of years since the master obtained this classic, and what he has mastered is still only scratching the surface of this ancient classic.
This kind of secret book is just rubbish in the eyes of people who are ignorant and have no talent in alchemy. Only those top alchemy masters will regard it as a treasure.
After taking out so many classics, the ancient medicine master then began to introduce to Qin Chen the situation of alchemy in Cangxuan City.
In Cangxuan City, the alchemy forces are not complicated, but very simple. The strongest alchemy force is a force called Shanyao Pavilion. This Shanyao Pavilion is extraordinary. Its influence is spread across many places in Yunzhou.
The city, Shanyao Pavilion in Cangxuan City is just one of its branches.
The master of the Good Medicine Pavilion in Cangxuan City is a powerful person at the Earth level, and he is also an alchemist of the Earth grade. He has a distinguished status. Although he is only an alchemist in the early stage of the Earth grade, he is already second to none in Cangxuan City.
character.
Shanyao Pavilion only does big business, and his clients include several top forces in the City Lord's Mansion and Cangxuan City. One family alone takes up half of Cangxuan City's alchemy business, accounting for about 50%.
In addition to Shanyao Pavilion, there are many alchemy forces left in Cangxuan City, such as Gufangzhai, Sihailou, Guyaotang, etc., there are no less than a dozen of them, among which Gufangzhai belongs to the first line.
He has several earth-level powerhouses, even a mid-level earth-level master, and several alchemy masters at the mortal saint level, which are extremely terrifying.
Ancient medicine halls, etc., belong to the second tier.
The competition between the first and second lines is extremely fierce, and forces often rise and fall.
As the ancient medicine master explained, Qin Chen gradually understood the distribution of forces in Cangxuan City, but there was one thing that Qin Chen didn't understand.
"If Shanyao Pavilion is so powerful, why does it only occupy 50% of the alchemy business in Cangxuan City? If he is willing, he can probably swallow up 80% of the entire elixir market in Cangxuan City, right?"
In any industry or field, there is an 80/20 rule. The top 20% of forces account for 80% of the profits of the entire market. The same is true for the elixir market.
With the strength of Shanyao Pavilion, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is enough to annex the entire alchemy power of Cangxuan City and occupy 80% of the market, but now, it is only 50%.
"Haha, Young Master Chen, you don't know something. The reason why Shanyao Pavilion only has 40% share is because of the control of the City Lord's Mansion. Cangxuan City is the territory of the Ao family. Naturally, a transcendent force is not allowed to exist. In the City Lord's Mansion,
Under the control of the government, Shanyao Pavilion can only occupy 40% of the share. Otherwise, if Shanyao Pavilion controls the entire alchemy market in Cangxuan City, wouldn’t it be able to strangle the throat of the City Lord’s Mansion?”
"Understood."
When the ancient medicine master said this, Qin Chen understood.
"By the way, when we came in before, we heard people from Gu Fang Zhai saying that Gu Medicine Hall owed them something. What happened?"
"well."
The ancient medicine master sighed, "This is all because I want to refine the ancient Yiqi Pill."
"Young Master Chen, you also know that there are two ways for a master of alchemy to improve his alchemy cultivation. One is through breakthrough cultivation, and the other is through natural soul power. Both of these aspects can improve the alchemy master's strength."
"But I have been stuck at the peak of the Mortal Saint Realm for many years, and I have been unable to break through the Earth Saint and refine the five secrets. However, I saw the record of the Ancient One Qi Pill in the ancient secret books. This is a pill that can condense the saint essence of a warrior.
Medicine, to a certain extent, is enough to enhance a warrior’s soul power, making it easier for the warrior to break through to the Earth Saint realm.”
"It's just that the refining of this kind of elixir is very troublesome, and the materials are extremely rare. I have been collecting materials over the years, and there are two special materials that cannot be collected at all."
"I don't know where Gu Fangzhai got the news. He actually sent these two materials. He just made an agreement with me and asked me to return three Ancient One Qi Pills to him in return within three years.
If there is no ancient Yiqi Pill by then, I will use my ancient medicine hall as a mortgage."
