C15 (2/2)

”Wh-were you the ones who refined them?” The old man was defeated as his hands trembled.

”Yeah, I've been busy for two days and I've finally made it. Please count it out.” Zhen Yinjian wiped his sweat, pretending to be simple and honest.

”You, why are you using a vegetable basket?” The old man let out a few words from his throat as his chest heaved up and down.

”This thing is easy to make. I've only made a big bowl out of all the herbs. There's no need to use bottles or jars to make it.” Zhen Yinjian scratched his head and laughed.

”A bowl?” Looking at the weight of the pills in the basket, there were at least a hundred of them. Then based on the price of 200 taels of silver for each pill, that would be 200,000 taels of silver!

Thinking of this, the old man actually became agitated and fainted.

The three servants walked out after finishing their work. Seeing the unconscious Tong Manager on the ground, their expressions changed greatly. They felt that they had hurried to help him up.

”Shopkeeper, what happened to you?” A quick-witted fellow patted the old man's face before he woke up.

”Count, count how many pills are in the basket.” Tong Manager got up and said while clenching his teeth.

He was, after all, the manager of the apricot leaf in Peace City, and he could not deny things that he had already done. This 200,000 silver was something he could afford by clenching his teeth.

”The shopkeeper has a total of 121 pills.” The waiters counted the number of Spring-Returning Pill one by one. They were all surprised by the number.

The Spring-Returning Pill might not be a precious pill, but it was still the first time there were so many of them.

The Goateed Old Man cracked open the abacus and calculated, then came out with a number that made his heart tremble.

”One hundred and twenty-one pills. According to the price of one pill for two thousand silver, it's two hundred and forty-two thousand silver.”

”Then I'll be grateful, Tong Manager.” Zhen Yinjian sat at the table while smiling. The customers coming and going saw the scene in front of them and were all amazed.

No one had ever seen so many medicinal pills being filled up like a brick in a vegetable basket. Moreover, they could tell at a glance that this was a Spring Restoration Pill. After all, the position of the apricot leaf was between nobles and cultivators, so the price of this pill was naturally not cheap.

”This is the Dragon Fang's banknote, two hundred and forty-two thousand taels. Take it.” The old man gritted his teeth as he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary kid would be able to refine so many Spring-Returning Pills? One had to know that every month, the sales of the Spring Restoration Pills in Peace City was even half of the amount refined by this kid.

Even low tier pill refiners who were usually happy to concoct such low-tier pills would not be able to concoct this much in a month. Including the fact that refining was a waste, the amount of money spent was an enormous amount.

Spring Restoration Pills were not difficult to concoct. Most low tier pill refiners only had a success rate of sixty to seventy percent. What was even more terrifying was that the Tong Manager had already noticed that this batch of pellets was all above mid quality, there were even a few high quality ones, the quality itself was not low.

One had to know that middle and high tier pill refiners did not know how to concoct this kind of pill, and low tier pill refiners also had very few mid tier pills. Most of them were low tier pills.

Although low-grade medicinal pills had their effects, there were still quite a few dregs. As for mid-grade and even high-grade medicinal pills, the dregs were much lower. This herb dregs actually contained a pill poison, and it was called a medicine with three parts poison. For those who were severely ill and physically weak, the effects of the pill's poison on their bodies were not small nor small. It would affect their health.

Furthermore, the higher one's status was, the more value they had for their lives. The lower the requirement for medicinal dregs was, the better it was. They valued it greatly. For high-grade pills, the medicinal dregs and poison content was very low. Normally, the effects on a mortal's body would be minimal.

Zhen Yinjian being able to refine a high quality Spring-Returning Pill and being able to refine it in such a short period of time made him extremely shocked.

”Is this kid really a genius alchemist?”

Ever since he made the bet with Zhen Yinjian, he had secretly sent people to investigate, and knew that this boy was from the Zhen Mansion's side branch family, and was rather well-liked in the past few days. Moreover, not long ago, he bought an《 Elementary Reading of the Alchemy Dao》 that wasn't even in the Alchemy Book, and then he bought an extremely trashy pill furnace and a batch of herbs in the city square. He was actually concocting pills in his room these days!

When he thought about how he could concoct such a high quality Spring-Returning Pill without having to receive guidance from anyone just because of such lousy equipment and low-leveled theories, he was greatly taken aback.

All the signs filled him with curiosity about this young man.

”Little brother is truly talented. You are indeed a rare genius in the dao of alchemy. It is this old man who broke his promise.” This little old man will apologize to you. ” With that, the Tong Manager made a face at him. This old fellow really can take it.

”Just a small matter, not worth mentioning. ”Old mister, I still have something to show you. Please help me to assess how much I can sell it for!”

”What is it?” The Goat Breathing Old Man looked at Zhen Yinjian with eyes full of doubt.
