Chapter 42 Making money
Sell the grass and get the elixir back?
In the dark market, Chen Fei changed his appearance again, came to a stall, and asked tentatively.
"Yes, twenty-five ounces." The stall owner glanced at Chen Fei and said lazily.
So expensive.
Chen Fei was a little surprised and said that Chen Fei investigated it two days ago. At that time, it was still twenty-two yuan per piece. Unexpectedly, it has skyrocketed again now.
Before the rebels came, the market price of Cao Huan Dan was actually only twelve taels per pill.
"Don't be too expensive. You know the current situation in Pingyin County. Most of the pills have been handed over. It's not easy to have a little left."
Seeing that Chen Fei ran away without finishing asking, the stall owner cheered up a little and explained.
Thats the truth.
Chen Fei nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Then you collect the grass and return the elixir?"
You want to sell?
The stall owner was originally lying on a chair, but now he sat upright, looked at Chen Fei and said: "How is the quality? Forget it, the quality is not important, how much can you provide every day? The quantity is large, and the price is easy to say."
Twenty or thirty pills a day is still guaranteed.
"Okay! If you can guarantee this quantity, I will give you this price for each pill."
The stall owner made a gesture. Chen Fei looked at it, shook his head slightly and said, "You sold twenty-five taels, but you only received fifteen taels. It's too little."
Fifteen taels is a lot, and we have to bear a lot. The stall owner laughed.
Sure, then Ill think about it.
Chen Fei didn't say much, smiled, and planned to turn around and leave.
Hey, dont leave, the price is negotiable.
Seeing that Chen Fei was about to leave, the stall owner quickly stopped Chen Fei. Now all the alchemists in Pingyin County are working hard to refine elixirs, and there are very few who can live outside.
If you can purchase an additional twenty or thirty grass-returning elixirs every day, it will definitely be considered a great achievement.
Chen Fei stopped and looked at the stall owner without saying a word.
You tell me a price. Seeing Chen Fei staring at him, the stall owner said helplessly.
Twenty-three taels, maybe.
This price is too high. The stall owner shook his head like a rattle.
"The price of elixirs changes every few days. Maybe you will make a profit in a few days."
"There is nothing that keeps rising, and very few people can afford to buy it for twenty-five taels. I collected it mainly and handed it over to the owner's house, just in case."
Then how much did you say?
Sixteen taels, this price is quite suitable
Chen Fei and the stall owner bargained for a while, and finally set the purchase price at twenty taels.
Chen Fei looked a little pity on the surface, but deep down he was already happy. Before the rebels came, Chen Fei sold herbs to repay the pills, but each pill cost only eight taels, and he had to buy the medicinal materials himself.
Now that the Zhao family provides the medicinal materials, the price of Cao Huan Dan has skyrocketed. Doing all the math, Chen Fei is making a huge profit.
According to Chen Fei's current Dzogchen Cao Huan Dan refining method, he can sell about twenty-five pills on the dark market every day, and the profit for that day is 500 taels of silver.
Compared with the past, this is a big step forward.
Look at the elixirs, there are about a hundred in total.
Chen Fei took out the medicine bottle from the package. The stall owner didn't dare to neglect it. Although he said he didn't care about the quality just now, if it can be better, it will definitely be more perfect.
As the cork of the bottle was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted out. The stall owner poured out one carefully and looked at the smooth and round surface of Cao Huan Dan, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
At this level of grass-returning elixir, at this price, it is not a loss. When the time comes, the owner will have to praise him for his good taste!
"You keep the money." The stall owner checked the amount to make sure there was no problem. He quickly counted the coins and placed them in front of Chen Fei.
Two thousand taels of silver, the weight was quite heavy, and the counter made a muffled sound when pressed against it.
Transactions in the dark market are always delivered in cash, and banknotes are rarely used. Nowadays, no one dares to use banknotes because of the rebels.
Chen Fei carried the parcel of silver behind his back, looked at the stall owner, and asked, "Do you want the Qingling Pill?"
You still have the Light Spirit Pill!
The stall owners eyes couldnt help but widen. This was such a surprise. The market price of Qingling Pill in the past was fifteen taels, but now it has soared.
Hence, there are very few warriors nowadays who can use Qingling Pill to practice. Even those who are in the bone-forging realm only use grass-returning pills.
But among the rebels, the demand for the Light Elixir is still very strong. Sometimes if there are enough Light Spirit Pills, some additional Grass Return Pills and Qi Blood Pills can be exempted.
I know how to refine it, but my technique is mediocre and the amount of elixir produced is not much. If you can trust me, you can prepare the medicinal materials and we will divide the account according to proportion.
Chen Fei has almost used up some of the ingredients for the Light Spirit Pill that he had prepared before. Nowadays, medicinal materials cannot be purchased in Pingyin County, and Chi Defeng cannot find any refugees to pick them.
Chen Fei could only look at these vendors. After all, many of these people were from aristocratic families in Pingyin County.
One piece of medicinal materials will produce a light elixir, this is the bottom line.
The stall owner looked at Chen Fei, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about we provide the medicinal materials, exchange them for a light elixir, and give you three taels of silver for your hard work?"
Its a little less, maybe six taels, I like this number. Chen Fei said with a smile.
Sure, Ill make you my friend.
The stall owner thought about it and agreed. Mainly there are only a few alchemists in Pingyin County who can refine the Light Spirit Pill. Now even if you want to cultivate it, it is already too late, because the medicinal materials are too tight and cannot be wasted.
Exchanging a portion of medicinal materials for a light elixir is not a loss. In the past, this would have been insanely profitable. But now the value of medicinal materials has skyrocketed, which can only be said to be pretty good.
Ill give you three supplies of medicinal materials first, and Ill come back to you tomorrow.
Okay, wait a moment.
The stall owner went to the back hall, notified the staff to get the medicinal materials, and reported the matter at the same time.
After burning the incense, the medicinal materials came into Chen Fei's hands. Chen Fei identified the medicinal materials and found that there were no problems. He handed them over to the stall owner and left the dark market.
Halfway through, Chen Fei recharged all the money into the panel, and he couldn't help but feel a light behind his back.
Little Tail did not appear, which was a bit beyond Chen Fei's expectation. It seemed that the aristocratic family behind the stall owner really wanted to cooperate with Chen Fei. In other words, it was only the first day, so they were not in a hurry and wanted to see it again.
After carefully walking around Pingyin County for a few times, Chen Fei returned to his rented courtyard.
Rather than refining the elixir immediately, Chen Fei took out a secret book after resting for a while.
Guiyuan Bow Method.
A secret book on bow techniques. Chen Fei bought a total of three such secret books from Chi Defeng. If he wanted them again, they were gone.
There are not many warriors who use bows and arrows, and there are even fewer that have spread abroad. Among the military, there are more people who use bows and arrows, but the secrets there are more difficult to appear outside.
Chen Fei wanted to practice bow skills, not because he felt that his sword skills were weak, but simply because he wanted to increase his ability to fight enemies, especially the long-range method of injuring enemies.
In fact, practicing hidden weapons is not bad, but the distance of hidden weapons is too short. Chen Fei is now successful in movement skills, and in the foreseeable future, Chen Fei's investment in movement skills will definitely not be low.
Hence, within a short distance, Chen Fei can completely make up for it with his own body skills. On the contrary, when the distance is too far or the enemy is too strong, Chen Fei is unwilling to step forward to engage in a close combat. At this time, bows and arrows come in handy.
The other reason that prompted Chen Fei to practice bow skills was that Chen Fei had recently practiced all the skills in his hands to the level of Dzogchen.
The time for internal strength cultivation is fixed, and it is impossible for Chen Fei to refine the elixir all day long, not to mention that there are not so many medicinal materials. Even if there were, Chen Fei would not keep refining it.
Making money makes people happy, and panels also require silver. But this is all for the purpose of improving his strength. Chen Fei cannot put the cart before the horse, so after doing other things well, Chen Fei must keep his strength from stagnating.
Building proficiency and watching his strength become stronger little by little has become a part of Chen Fei's life now, and he can't stop it at all.
