According to the propaganda of the Alchemist Guild, these privately made elixirs sold secretly on the market basically have problems of insufficient medicinal properties and too strong erysipelas. What’s more, eating dead people is not a rare thing.
As for the scammers who claim to be buying elixirs but are actually selling fake medicines, there are even more scammers. You can often hear news about some unlucky people being fooled.
These questions raised by the Alchemist Guild do exist. But it would be too much to say that all privately made elixirs are problematic.
The regular elixir recognized by the Alchemist Guild is so expensive that poor monks cannot afford it. The price of privately made elixirs is much more conscientious in comparison.
There are many types of elixirs, and they are not just those that assist in training and improve cultivation.
In fact, in the world of cultivation, those elixirs such as healing and detoxifying are the ones that consume the most.
Where there is demand, there is a market. No matter how overtly or covertly the alchemist guild suppresses it, privately produced elixirs will never be banned, and wild alchemists will always exist.
As soon as the young man approached Meng Zhang, Meng Zhang used his mind to read his thoughts.
Small sects such as Taiyi Sect also have demand for various types of elixirs. If you can spend less money and buy suitable elixirs, that would certainly be a good thing.
Hearing Meng Zhang say the words “privately made elixirs”, the young man smiled and said politely; “Your Excellency, you are the new head of the Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang, right? I am Shi Weiming, a mere one. Just a small businessman.”
“I wonder if Master Meng is interested in the goods below?”
This person’s cultivation level is similar to that of Meng Zhang, both in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Meng Zhang’s magical power cannot read his deep thoughts, but he can read many superficial thoughts.
No matter how small the Taiyi Sect is, it is still a sect. This person found out his information because he wanted to get Taiyi Sect as his patron.
“Of course I am interested in the goods, but I don’t know the quality and type of the goods?”
Meng Zhang did not go around in circles and went directly to the topic.
If ordinary people face someone who suddenly comes to sell door-to-door, they will probably be wary and distrustful.
But Meng Zhang, who is gifted with psychic powers, knew that the other party had no ill intentions and just wanted to do business.
“Actually, I have dealt with Taiyi Sect before. The previous leader was Taoist Master Xuanling, and we had several pleasant transactions.”
“As for the types of goods, we basically have all the common goods on the market. If you are not sure about the quality of the goods, you can inspect the goods in person.”
This young man named Shi Weiming had also inquired about the Taiyi Sect beforehand. After observing Meng Zhang for a while, he took the initiative to come to the door.
“These are two bottles of samples. You can take a look at them first.”
Taking the two bottles of elixirs handed over by Shi Weiming, Meng Zhang checked them carefully and found that they were indeed good elixirs.
One bottle is a qi-enhancing pill used by monks in the early stage of qi refining to break through bottlenecks, and the other bottle is a pulse-protecting pill used to treat meridians damage.
Whether it was Meng Zhang’s innate magical power, the Eye of Deception, or his knowledge of elixirs, they all told him that there was nothing wrong with the elixirs.
“If all the goods are of this quality and the price is right, I can buy a few bottles.”
Both parties were sincere in the transaction, and after some bargaining, the intention to trade was reached.
Shi Weiming provided Meng Zhang with the list of pills he could provide.
Meng Zhang chose the type and quantity of elixirs he needed.
The two parties agreed on the location of the transaction in Mingshafang City tomorrow night. When the time comes, pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
After the agreement was reached, Shi Weiming’s figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Meng Zhang reached this deal not only to obtain relatively cheap elixirs, but also to obtain a channel, preferably to establish a relationship with the alchemist behind Shi Weiming. You never know when you will have to ask the other party for help.
In fact, some far-sighted sects and families, even if they are unable to join the alchemist guild, will spend a lot of money to raise some alchemists. Even if you can only get in but not get out, it will be a loss-making business, no matter what.
In addition to supplying its own needs, the most important thing is to hope that at critical moments, it can not be choked by outsiders.
Meng Zhang also understands this truth, and he also hopes that Taiyi Sect can have its own alchemist. But this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
The current Taiyi Sect must first consider how to survive before having time to think about other things.
After leaving the ghost market, Meng Zhang bought several medicinal materials from some shops in the market that were not closed yet, and then returned to the hotel.
The guest room Meng Zhang chose was a small courtyard with a single family. Although the price is a bit expensive, it can maintain enough privacy.
Using the token issued by the hotel, he opened the ban on the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Meng Zhang walked around and checked it carefully.
Based on Meng Zhang’s knowledge of formations, although there are some backdoors to the protective restrictions in the small courtyard, they are not used to monitor the guests inside.
It seems that Lin Quanguan has done a good job in this regard. No wonder it has always had a good reputation.
Compared with the domineering nature of Shuangfeng Valley, the Taoist temple of Linquan Temple in Zhaoshuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com appears to be gentler in both style and policy, and is quite a bit as good as water.
There was no big problem with the ban in the small courtyard, so Meng Zhang felt relieved.
He returned to the room and first took out the Qianjunfeng he had just purchased.
This Qianjun Peak is a magic weapon that looks like a small mountain peak. It is seriously damaged. The top part of the peak has been completely lost, leaving only the lower half. Moreover, the remaining lower half was also covered in scars and looked like it was about to fall apart at any time.
Meng Zhang didn’t care about this, but carefully prepared the potion.
He purchased these medicinal materials from several different stores. As for the secret recipe, it comes from the harvest of the trial place.
After a lot of work, Meng Zhang prepared a pot of dark green potion.
Then, he smeared these potions on the surface of Qianjun Peak, injected Qi into it, and shook it gently.
After a while, the surface of Qianjun Peak began to peel off layer by layer.
Meng Zhang has always been very careful with his movements, as if he was afraid of hurting this magical weapon.
After about half an hour of hard work, Meng Zhangcai was finally done.
After all the outer shell of Qianjun Peak was peeled off, a pale golden metal ball was revealed inside. The surface of the metal mass was carved with a dense layer of runes. Many of these runes are missing and have obviously lost their effectiveness.
“Sure enough, there are treasures like Hundred Refined Gilts hidden inside.”
“I don’t know if this Qianjunfeng was made by the hammer refiner back then?”
This piece of Qianjunfeng was obviously quite old, and it was dug out of an unknown ruin. It was sold on a street stall in the ghost market, giving Meng Zhang a bargain.
