Chapter 41 The Elixir Pavilion
The Fairy Spirit Wine Pavilion in Liquor currently only sells two kinds of spirit wine. One is secular spirits bought by Wang Hong, soaked in elixir, and stored in the space for a hundred years. Its cost is low, and its grade only reaches the first-grade low-grade, so it can be regarded as the lowest-end spirit wine. Half a catty per bottle, priced at 30 spirit stones.
The other is Lingmi wine made from Lingmi, which has been stored in space for ten years. The product rank is the middle rank of the first product. One or two per bottle, priced at twenty Lingshi.
Although the two kinds of spirit wines are not of high quality, they are affordable, and the number of immortal cultivators is a pyramid structure. Cultivators, of course, have a huge sales volume.
Since the opening of the Lingjiu Pavilion, the business has been booming, with a profit of 12,000 Lingshi in the first month. Equivalent to his previous year's profit.
Wang Hong left more than a dozen subordinates who set up stalls in Fangshi, leaving only a few stalls for purchasing spirit grass, and all the rest were withdrawn to brew spirit wine.
As for the acquisition of spiritual grass, it cannot be stopped. On the one hand, the sources of spiritual grass will be replenished, and the spiritual grass produced in the space will be mixed in, in an attempt to deceive the world. On the other hand, sometimes you can really receive rare spiritual herbs that Wang Hong doesn't even have.
After the spirit wine was stable, Wang Hong handed it over to Shouhou to take care of it. He started alchemy behind closed doors.
It is still Qi Gathering Pill, this time I have prepared a thousand spirit herbs. Except for the necessary practice of taking alchemy every day, Wang Hong spends the rest of his time refining alchemy.
This time, it took half a year to refine a thousand copies of spirit grass. At the same time, the rewards are huge.
The yield rate of Wang Hong's refining Qi Gathering Pill finally reached 40%. Each spirit grass is worth 20 spirit stones, and Qi Gathering Pill is worth 10 spirit stones each. A 20% rate of pills can only protect the capital, and 40% means that he can make a profit of 20 spirit stones for each batch of Qi Gathering Pills.
Moreover, Wang Hong also got a bottle, a total of eight middle-grade energy-gathering pills. Each kind of elixir can be divided into lower, middle, upper, and best grades.
The elixirs that are seen in daily life, those that do not indicate the grade, are all low-grade elixirs. Because of middle-grade and top-grade pills, only alchemists with superb alchemy skills will occasionally make one or two pills.
General alchemists keep them for their own use, and keep those they don’t need, and exchange some favorite items in private. Only a very small number of middle-grade medicinal pills will end up in the market.
Compared with low-grade Juqi Pills, the middle-grade Qi Ju Dan has fewer impurities, and the spiritual power it contains is larger and more refined. The efficacy is several times that of Xiapin Dan. It is also very helpful for monks to break through the bottleneck. If you can take it for a long time, there are many benefits.
After refining these elixirs, Wang Hong rested for a few days to relax his mind.
In the past six months, the business of Lingjiu Pavilion has been booming. Excluding various expenses, it can earn more than 10,000 Lingshi every month.
The tens of thousands of spiritual stones earned were all scattered into the space land by Wang Hong. If this continues, in another two or three months, the space land will reach three acres.
In the current space, the Qijudan material is planted on an acre of land. The original Linggu Lingmai were overcrowded due to the growth of the plants, so Wang Hong transplanted them all, occupying two parts of the land.
Wang Hong also planted some iron thorns, which were full of seeds. This kind of thorns bears seeds once every ten years, and can perform the wood-type spell entanglement.
The green peach planted by Wang Hong grew extremely slowly. It took nine years in the space to germinate. It has grown for decades and is only over a foot tall. There are some light white veins on the leaves.
In addition, the sealwort he planted the first time also began to mutate, and some golden spots grew on the original emerald green leaves. It's just beginning to change now, and I don't know what it will look like in the end. I am full of expectations for it.
After resting for a few days, Wang Hong started alchemy again. He didn't know what standards those sects should meet when recruiting alchemists, so he could only do his best.
But this time what he wants to refine is the Breaking Barrier Pill. The main drug of the Breaking Barrier Pill, red blood ginseng, is rare and unusual for others. A large area has grown in Wang Hong's space, and it is inconvenient to sell in large quantities, so it is just used for practicing. Anyway, this elixir, with his poor aptitude, should be useful in the future.
Next, Wang Hong spent more than half a year refining several first-order elixirs, each of which was refined into hundreds of furnaces, and the success rate reached 40%.
So far, Wang Hong has accumulated tens of thousands of first-order pills. I can't use so many pills for a while. Having a backlog in your hands is too much of a waste of resources.
If they are sold in elixir shops, the quantity is too large and it is easy to attract attention. It's better to open another medicine shop.
Opening a shop and doing business in the immortal world is very different from the secular world.
The secular world is rich in products, and what is sold are all common things. The items are very plentiful, and you need to work hard to attract business, and the competition is fierce.
The world of cultivating immortals is currently short of various resources. As long as there are spiritual objects, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them. The most intense competition among major merchants is the supply channel, the source of goods, and various resources.
So the competition in the secular world is downstream, which is a buyer's market. The competition in the world of cultivating immortals is upstream, which is a seller's market.
The spiritual objects needed during the Qi training period can barely be bought with spiritual stones in major shops. The spirits needed in the foundation building period became scarce, and the spirit pills taken by the foundation building monks could no longer be bought at any time like Qi Gathering Pills. And when it comes to the golden core stage, almost every kind of spiritual creature will cause disputes when it is born.
Lack of resources is the main reason for the scarcity of high-level monks.
To open a pill shop, the most important requirements are two aspects. One is to have a stable supply of spirit grass resources. The spiritual herbs needed for alchemy are several decades old, and the demand is huge. The pitifully few spiritual resources in the wild are simply not enough.
General medicine pill stores have their own medicine gardens, and some even establish stable supply relationships with some spirit herb suppliers.
On the other hand, there must be an alchemist in charge, and a pharmacy without an alchemist will not last long. It's just that the cost of training an alchemist is too high. The alchemist cultivated by the Xiuxian family has to serve their own family. Casual cultivators usually have difficulty in training resources. There are few people who can have a large number of spiritual herbs to practice like Wang Hong.
For example, Wanjia has a ten-acre elixir garden and its own alchemist. Only then can it support a pill shop in Qingxu City.
At present, Wang Hong's space has three acres of land, and the time has passed by thirty-two times. One hundred thousand spirit stones can increase the space by one mu of land, and for each additional mu of land, the speed of time will also double. It is no problem to supply a elixir.
As for the pills, anyway, if you practice alchemy, you have to refine a lot of pills. He felt that his 40% alchemy rate was still too low, and further practice was needed.
In addition, you only need to rent another shop, and renting a good shop is also a big expense.
Wang Hong has always wanted to buy a house in Qingxu City and a few pieces of spiritual fields. However, there are always not enough spirit stones, and in addition, they have earned a lot of spirit stones in the past few years, and the expenses of more than forty people are also a lot. There is also Space, the big head who eats spirit stones. Space is the foundation of all his development, so he can only focus on Space first.
He has been around for so many years, and he doesn't even have a few decent magic weapons. One is that there is no particularly suitable magic weapon, and the other is that there are really no extra spirit stones.
He wants to spend every spirit stone wisely and maximize its value.
Wang Hong called Zhao Ning over and handed over the matter to him. Zhao Ning is now at the first level of Qi training and rarely shows his face. This pill pavilion will be opened in the name of Zhao Ning.
Ten days later, a store named Zhao's Pill Pavilion opened. The main business is elixirs and spiritual herbs. The elixirs sold in the store are all first-order elixirs needed for the Qi training period.
Wang Hong didn’t tell anyone this time, he wanted to downplay the connection between this store and himself. Just be the boss behind the scenes.
As a monk with no background in Qi training, it is already amazing that he owns a spirit wine pavilion. If he owns another medicine pill pavilion, he will probably be targeted soon.
It is very dangerous to have huge wealth without corresponding strength.
