Chapter Eight: [Alchemy to earn money to support the family]

chapter eight
Lin Tao wandered aimlessly on the wide streets of Fanmeer City. The crowds around him were bustling. People wearing all kinds of costumes could be seen everywhere. Caravans, carriages, escorts, knights, monks and mercenaries, people from various professions.
The crowds mixed together, forming a beautiful scenery, and the prosperity of Fanmeer City was evident.
Although he has only been in this world for a day, and there are still many things that he needs to get familiar with, Lin Tao is not in the mood to do any of this at the moment. At present, he is faced with the biggest problem that the family cannot solve. After so many years, Lin Tao has
Most of the slightly valuable things have been sold off, and the rest are just rubbish. They can't be exchanged for a lot of money, and I don't know if others will want them. What's more, Lin Tao doesn't think it's an option to continue like this. He must
To find a way to make money.
This troubled Lin Tao. In his previous life, he was just a young Taoist priest in the foundation-building stage. He didn't bother with these things and had no experience in making money.
Are you selling your physical strength? Not to mention whether this body is qualified for such a job, Lin Tao is not willing to disgrace the reputation of the ancestors of the Lin family and smear the dead man's face. After all, he is still a baron.
After thinking about it, Lin Tao didn't have any better way, and sighed helplessly. No wonder it is said that even if the gods fall into the mortal world, they will be contaminated with vulgarity. It seems to be true, not to mention that he is a young Taoist priest in the foundation building stage.
If he had the ability to reach heaven and earth, he could make a living by relying on powerful Taoism. Even in this world, Lin Tao has no doubt about the power of Tao. After all, he has seen the power of Tao. It is a pity that he
Not to mention his meager skills, he came to this world with nothing. He only knew some rudimentary alchemy skills, so-so cooking skills, and half-assed Feng Shui Xianjing.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao patted his head with some joy, turned around and walked in the direction of Lin Mansion.
When Lin Tao returned to the house, Uncle Fu was still wondering why he came back after not having a moment to go out.
Lin Tao did not explain, but the excitement on his face made Uncle Fu a little confused, "Uncle Fu, go to your house and find some junk to sell, then find a medicine and buy it according to the name I wrote for you."
After saying that, he quickly took out the pen and paper. This was pitiful for Lin Tao. Although he knew how to write the characters in this world, he just didn't practice them. Coupled with his eagerness, he wrote crookedly and could barely recognize the characters.
"Master, you don't look like you are sick. Then is this medicine bought for you?" Fu Bo asked.
Lin Tao didn't know how to answer. Did he tell Fu Bo clearly that he needed these herbs to make elixirs? He was afraid that the other party was even more confused. "Fu Bo, time is of the essence. Don't ask first. Just buy them according to what I wrote."
Nodding, Uncle Fu had more and more doubts in his mind, but he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and follow Lin Tao's instructions.
"Although I don't know how to refine those great elixirs such as the Foundation Building Pill and the God-Returning Pill, and I can't afford to buy the materials, but I still don't know how to refine some detoxifying and beauty pills? Haha! I just don't know this.
Can the elixir be sold?"
While Uncle Fu went out to buy materials, Lin Tao packed up the alchemy tools. There was no alchemy furnace, so he used the dead potted plants in the courtyard as a substitute. Anyway, it was a furnace of the lowest-grade detoxification and beauty pills. It didn't matter what utensils were used.
Doesn't matter.
In about an hour, Uncle Fu had rushed back and brought back a lot of the medicinal materials Lin Tao needed.
Little did he know that when Uncle Fu went to the drugstore to buy medicine, the boss was surprised. After all, he usually grinds these medicinal materials into pills for sale, and no one has ever come to buy the medicinal materials.
This alchemy technique was not something that should exist in this world, so Lin Tao left Uncle Fu and prepared to refine it alone, lest the old man ask, and Lin Tao didn't know how to explain it.
Rhubarb, American ginseng, Qingyang ginseng, small red ginseng, Cistanche deserticola, Atractylodes macrocephala, and lotus leaf. Lin Tao lined up these medicinal materials, washed them with water, ground them finely, and finally made them into pill shapes, and threw them out of the furnace.
Then bake over slow fire.
The entire elixir refining process is not complicated, and the refining time of detoxifying and nourishing pills is also very short. In just two hours, a batch of good-quality elixirs appeared in front of Lin Tao. In addition to three waste elixirs,
There are seven good elixirs in total.
Carefully placing seven jade-white pills in a glass bottle, Lin Tao felt indescribably relaxed. Now that the pill has been successfully refined, he should consider how to sell it.
Lin Tao doesn't know how to make money in business, but he is not stupid. The secret that this elixir was made by himself cannot be leaked to outsiders.
The northwest part of Fanmeer City is the most prosperous area, because it is the commercial center of the entire Fanmeer City, with various stores. Of course, the most important reason is that it is the largest trading center in the entire Fanmeer City and even the Silang Empire.
Merchants from all over the world use this trading center to buy the items they want or sell their own items.
And in the very center of this trading center is a famous auction house, Luoken Auction House.
The Luoken Auction House was established about thirty years ago. Behind it, the Luo Family, the largest business family in Fanmere City, has always been managed. Even the name of the auction house is named after the ancestors of the Luo Family. As a mortal, the Luo Family
There are only a few families in Mir City and even the Silang Empire that have made great achievements in business, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Not to mention the extremely wealthy Luo family, which has tens of thousands of tough retired soldiers in the entire Silang Empire.
The Orbis Guard is the network of relationships that the Luo family has painstakingly cultivated for decades. It is no small matter, ranging from palace nobles, bureaucrats, ministers, city lords, to merchants and tycoons from all over the country. Who doesn't sell the Luo family's face? After all, they have money.
All things can go wrong, but the Luo family is not short of money.
With such a strong background and financial resources, coupled with careful management, it is not surprising that the Luoken Auction House is famous today.
At the Luoken Auction House, rare treasures from all over the Izumo Continent are sold, including many medicinal materials, spiritual beasts, weapons, etc. that have never been seen before or even cannot be named.
Lin Tao bought a silver-gray mask from a nearby vendor and put it on his face, and then walked into the Luoken auction house.
The reason why he did this was just that he didn't want to reveal his identity. Not to mention that this detoxification and beauty pill was a new thing in this world, but if his embarrassing identity was recognized by others, it would probably attract some resentment.
Necessary trouble.
Luoken Auction House has the most professional appraisers in the entire Izumo Continent. If a seller wants to sell some of his rare treasures through Luoken Auction House, the first step is to hand over the items to these appraisers for appraisal.
The value of the items, if they can't even pass their level, I'm afraid they won't be able to have a booth to participate in the weekly auction. These appraisers have worked at Luoken Auction House for many years and have seen all kinds of rare treasures.
They can't even count them, and ordinary things are really difficult for them to discern.
"Hello, sir, may I help you?" As soon as Lin Tao stepped into the threshold of the auction house, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt came over with a modest smile on his face.
They greeted Lin Tao politely, but did not feel any discomfort at all because of the silver-gray mask on Lin Tao's face. In their view, Lin Tao was just a person who did not want others to know his identity. He usually appeared at auctions.
There were quite a few people dressed like this, so he said he didn't find it strange at all.
Nodding, Lin Tao deliberately lowered his voice, "Well, I have some new things here that I would like to ask the appraisal masters from your auction house to help me identify them. If they are valuable, I want to find a buyer through the auction.
