After completing the practice, Li Yuan went to Alchemist He's residence.
Alchemist He has been around Yunyang Marketplace for a while.
Li Yuan knew Alchemist He was here when he met Wang De on the road before, but he never looked for it.
Alchemist He's courtyard has been closed for the past few days, and the restrictions on the outside of the courtyard wall have been turned to the highest level. Even the breath can't come out. It's obvious that Alchemy is in retreat and cannot be disturbed.
This morning, when Li Yuan went to Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area to replenish Spirit Herb, he passed by the street west of Fangshi and glanced in the direction of Alchemist He's yard from a distance.
The courtyard door is open.
The restricted spiritual power fluctuations have also dropped, from the previous fully closed state to daily low-intensity operation.
After Li Yuan bought Spirit Herb, he did not go back to the yard directly, but instead walked to the yard of Alchemist He.
The courtyard door was ajar, and there was someone guarding the door.
The ban on the inside of the courtyard wall is still in operation, and people without Token or pass certificates cannot enter.
The guard recognized Li Yuan. After Li Yuan said a few words to the guard, the guard turned around and went to report.
After a while, the restriction on the inside of the courtyard wall flashed, and the gap opened.
Li Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.
The yard has not changed much from the last time I came here. There are stone tables and benches, wooden boxes in the corner, and the aroma of medicine wafting from the door of the main house.
Alchemist He was sitting on the bamboo chair behind the stone table, with several animal skins with writing on them spread out in front of him, as if he was sorting something.
Seeing Li Yuan come in, Alchemist He put the animal skin aside and leaned back on the chair.
"Sit."
Li Yuan sat down on the stone bench.
No beating around the bush, just speak directly.
"Senior He, I would like to ask you to make a furnace of Origin Breaking Pill."
It is safer to break through Foundation Establishment with Origin Breaking Pill, and you can sell it for a big price even if you don't need it.
And what if there is Affix.
Alchemist He's eyes paused on Li Yuan.
Then he smiled.
"Origin Breaking Pill." He folded his hands and placed them on the table, "Do you have the materials?"
"Most of it is available. There are still two or three conventional main ingredients left, and we are gathering them together."
Alchemist He nodded and did not ask where the material came from.
"Origin Breaking Pill I have practiced it many times."
He lightly drew a line on the table with his fingertips.
"When one furnace is used, one to three coins will usually come out, mostly two. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will get three coins, and if you are not lucky, you will get one. In rare cases, even if the furnace is ruined, there will be no one."
He took his hand back and looked at Li Yuan.
"You provide the materials yourself, this is non-negotiable. Spirit Origin Fruit cherishes it so much that I can't provide it for you."
"If you have Spirit Origin Fruit, we can discuss it, but it's best if you provide it yourself. I don't always have it here."
Alchemist He After speaking, he raised his fingers and compared them one by one.
"There are three options in total."
"The first type. No matter how many coins are refined, I will take one and you will take the rest. No reward or hard work fee will be charged. I will not pay compensation if the refining is useless."
"This plan is the cheapest for you Spirit Stone, but it also carries the greatest risk. If only one coin comes out, that one belongs to me, and you get nothing. If two coins come out, you take one and I take one. If there are three coins, you get two."
"Second type. You give me a reward based on the market price. All the Medicinal Pill I refine are yours, no matter how many. The reward will not be refunded if the refinement is useless."
"The third type. If it is refined, you give me a large amount of Spirit Stone. If it is not refined, you don't need to give me Spirit Stone. I can even give you another Spirit Stone as compensation for the loss of materials."
"Of course, the more I make up, the more you have to give me."
He took back all three fingers, folded his hands and put them back on the table.
"There are three options, you can choose by yourself. Don't rush, go back and think it through before coming back."
Li Yuan went through it quickly in my mind.
The first option does not cost Spirit Stone but the work may be in vain. If only one is produced, that one belongs to Alchemist He, and you will be in vain. The cost of the materials will be all in vain.
The second option is safe but expensive. But no matter how many coins you get, it's all yours.
The third option is to pay a large amount if it succeeds, but if it fails, you can get Spirit Stone compensation. It seems to be beneficial to Li Yuan, but the reward is much more expensive than the second option.
Each option has its own pros and cons, depending on your judgment of the success rate of Alchemist He Alchemy and how much risk you can bear.
"I'll go back and think about it and accumulate materials." Li Yuan stood up.
Alchemist He nodded and said nothing more.
Li Yuan turned around and left the yard, the ban closing again behind him.
Walk back to the yard you rented along the original path.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, I saw a person waiting outside the door.
Shopkeeper Han.
Wearing that dark gray robe, holding a cloth bag in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Young Daoist Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Yuan opened the courtyard door and the two of them walked into the courtyard.
Shopkeeper Han sat down on the stone bench and placed the cloth bag on the table.
"What I mentioned last time is over at the shop."
He looked over at Li Yuan.
"Can the boy come over tomorrow to learn Talisman Making?"
Li Yuan thought for a while.
Alchemist He's affairs have not been decided yet, but it does not affect the daily arrangements. It only takes one or two hours a day to teach Shopkeeper Han's son Talisman Making, and the rest of the time Talisman Making practices as usual.
"Okay. Let him come over tomorrow morning."
Shopkeeper Han nodded with a smile and pushed the cloth bag on the table over.
"This is the first month's tuition."
The cloth bag was opened, and inside were dozens of pieces of Spirit Stone.
"In addition, starting from this month, the purchase price Ziyuan Trading Firm will give you will increase by half a percent."
The conditions are consistent with those previously negotiated. Li Yuan will put Spirit Stone away.
Shopkeeper Han stood up and was about to leave. When he got to the door, he turned back and said something.
"The boy's name is Han Qing. He has a bit of a boring temper, but he is quite serious about learning. Sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
Li Yuan closed the courtyard door and sat down at the table.
Lay down Talisman Paper, pick up Talisman Brush, and continue Talisman Making.
While drawing the symbols in my mind, I was thinking about the three plans given by Alchemist He.
We haven't gathered the materials yet, so don't make a decision in a hurry. Buy the remaining two or three main ingredients first.
The sky outside the window slowly darkened.
Li Yuan put down Talisman Brush, sat on the bed, and did the exercises cross-legged.
Spiritual Qi pours into the body, and spiritual power and Qi and Blood circulate alternately in the meridians.
Yunyang Marketplace outside the courtyard wall gradually became quiet. The noise caused by the news of the Yuanyang Sect recruiting disciples continued. Occasionally, the voices of Rogue Cultivator gathering and discussing in the distance could be heard, but it was much quieter than during the day.
Li Yuan Close your eyes, breathe evenly, and your spiritual power is circulating in your body over and over again.
