The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 157
Ling Han only nodded at Xiao Ying before proceeding to the third floor of the palace, escorted by Yuanchu.
This was where a high-level alchemist would concoct an alchemy pill and rest.
"How about this? I'm not going to limit the number of people today. All of you can observe me making an alchemy pill, and I will only receive the observation fee of a million silver coins," Ling Han told Yuanchu.
"Pu," once again, the four Yuanchu disciples choked.
It was just observing the pill concoction process, and you wanted to collect the cost of a million silver coins. . . Are you trying to rob them?
Even Liu Yu Tong's lips twitched because of this. A million silver coins to observe him concocted a pill once. . Even if there were only ten people, Ling Han would be able to earn ten million coins for every time he allowed them to observe, even if there were only ten people, Ling Han would be able to earn ten million coins for every time he allowed them to observe, and observing it for ten times would allow him to earn a hundred million.
Hundred million!
The Liu clan was a large clan and had many businesses with their names, so their monthly income was definitely not just a hundred million coins. However, if you are talking about net income, then the amount is definitely not as much as a hundred million, and it is far below the huge amount of money.
The income of one person was able to match the income of the entire clan!
No wonder Ling Han was so confident that he could actually defeat the Chen Clan in financial terms. It was very easy for him to earn money.
But still, would Yuanchu really agree to such conditions?
"Very?" Yuanchu's eyes widened, a pleasant look of surprise on his face, "Just a million coins?"
Curse it!
Liu Yu Tong and his four disciples suddenly felt like they were about to faint. Yuanchu really thought a million coins were cheap!
That's natural. If he could successfully observe Ling Han's alchemy pill for a few more times, he could rise in rank. How can such benefits be measured in terms of money? Moreover, once he managed to rise to the next level, he would be able to concoct a high-level alchemy pill. Plus, when an alchemist advanced by one level, the price of the pills he could concoct would also soar to an entirely new level.
One could definitely say that every high-level alchemist was extremely wealthy, but the majority of alchemists were not hoarders of their wealth, and would instead use their immeasurable wealth to improve their abilities as an alchemist. But when an alchemist had reached the Black Level, who among them did not have the savings of several dozen?
A million means nothing to them!
Ling Han was also not a person who would attach great importance to monetary wealth. Money was a worldly item, and when one's abilities reached the Flower Blossoming Tier, mere money would not be able to afford the cultivation resources needed. In the Flower Blossoming Tier and beyond, one had to trade for the resources he needed with something his trading partner wanted.
Of course, money was still quite beneficial to him now. Otherwise, Ling Han would not have demanded 'observation fees'.
Yuanchu Yuan immediately went to summon another alchemist. Very quickly, the various Black Class alchemists all arrived one after another. However, there were a small number of Yellow Grade alchemists. There were only Li Si Chan, Qi Zhan Tai, and a few others, and the last to arrive was Fu Yuan Sheng.
"Old fu, you're on time. Help me raise money," Ling Han said, without any objection at all.
Hearing this, the four Yuanchu disciples completely fainted. It was Fu Yuan Sheng that he was talking about, one of the two great bosses of alchemy in the Rain Country, but in Ling Han's mouth, he had become Old Fu.
Meanwhile, Fu Yuan Sheng stepped forward, his expressions all smiling. It was his honor to be able to serve the Grandmaster Alchemist! Moreover, who among all these high ranking alchemists did not start from the apprentice position of an alchemist? They all started from doing odd jobs and helping a high-level alchemist, so it was nothing new to them.
Thus, no one underestimated Fu Yuan Sheng. On the other hand, they were all envious.
. . . To be able to serve the Grandmaster Alchemist, an enviable task!
Everyone happily paid the observation fee, while only Li Si Chan and Qi Zhan Tai were exempt from the payment. Black Grade alchemists really did not lack in wealth of money.
The Foundation Building Pill!
When they heard the words 'Foundation Building Pill' from Ling Han's mouth, all of them showed expressions of shock and astonishment.
There were many types of Black-level high-grade alchemy pills, and of course, the difficulty level in concocting different Black Grade high-tier pills varied greatly. There are four levels of difficulty and they are: Easy, Difficult, Very Difficult, and Practically Impossible. An alchemy pill that was installed to the level of a Practical Impossible was actually close to the level of an Earth Level alchemy pill. Thus, an alchemist who successfully concocted an alchemy pill in this category could almost certainly progress to become an earth grade alchemist.
Foundation Building Pill was one of the pills in the 'Practical Impossible' category'.
This kind of alchemy pill could help a Ocean Tier Spiritual alchemist build up his foundation to prepare for the construction of his Spiritual Base. It belonged to one of the rarest types of alchemy pills that could help a Spiritual Ocean Tier martial artist break through to a Spiritual Pedestal Tier. The reason why the Foundation Building Pill was considered close to the Earth Grade level was first because of the difficulty level in concocting such pills, and second because of the effects of the complete pill.
To a martial artist, the three types of alchemy pills were the most valuable to them. First, the type that would help them improve their cultivation; second, the type that would help them in understanding martial arts techniques; and third, the type that could help them break through to the next level. If one would rank these three types of pills based on their level of importance and value, then it was the reverse order. The most valuable, as well as the rarest, were the types of pills that would help a martial artist break through to the next level.
. . . The type of pill that would extend one's lifespan did not belong in this division because only natural treasures would have such an effect. If these natural treasures were concocted into an alchemy pill, the effect would be the opposite.
Everyone here had heard of the Pill Foundation, but no one was able to concoct successfully in a small place like the Rain Country, and this included the two great bosses of local alchemy as well. If this kind of alchemy pill could be mass-produced for sale, the large number of Tier Pedestal Tier elites that would appear in the Rain Country could be imagined.
This very likely reversed the balance of power in the Rain Country!
Even just thinking about it caused these people to shiver. A single alchemist. . has the ability to completely change the power structure of a country. That sounds like a fantasy.
"I need these ingredients," Ling Han told Fu Yuan Sheng. The reason why the Foundation Building Pill was so close to the Earth Grade level was because of the level of difficulty involved in concocting such a pill and its effects. However, there was not much difference between the ingredients required to concoct and the ingredients required to concoct another Black Grade high-tier pill, so the Heaven's Medicine Pavilion definitely had the necessary ingredients available.
And quite rightly, Fu Yuan Sheng immediately nodded, and waved his hand to order someone to take the materials Ling Han needed from their storage room.
"How much does it cost?" Ling Han asked, smiling.
"How can we accept Young Master Han's money?" Fu Yuan Sheng hurriedly waved his hand in rejection.
However Ling Han insisted and said, "You must accept!" Only if the Heaven Medicinal Pavilion received its payment, then the Pill KB Foundation would become his completely. What is the price of this small thing? A million? Two million? But for a complete pill. . even if auctioned ten million, it would be considered a bargain. It is guaranteed that a large number of people will struggle to buy it.
Fu Yuan Sheng could only smile sheepishly. He intended to take a complete pill to study. One had to understand that the success rate of pills that were close to Earth Grade level was extremely low. If the full number of pills that could be produced in a single furnace was ten, then it would be incredible if there was one complete pill that was successfully made. Two would be considered an achievement that defies logic.
The ingredients for Black Grade high-tier pills were still extremely expensive. The material value for a single furnace could be as high as three million, and if the furnace exploded during the concoction process, it would mean the waste of an entire three million coins. But if the pill was successfully concocted, the alchemist would be able to obtain not only his investment back, but also an enormous profit.
That was the value of a high tier alchemy pill, especially the rarer types of high tier alchemy pills.
Ling Han really did business without any capital. He came up empty-handed, and with the 'observation fee', he made eighteen million in one go. Now, he had only paid three million out of the eighteen million he had already earned. Moreover, with his abilities, what would a pill like that only approach the Earth Grade level? Even if he only managed to produce three pills. . just thinking about the value was quite frightening.
"Please take a good look, everyone. I'll start now," Ling Han said. Since everyone had paid to observe him, it was only his right to warn them beforehand.
They all opened their eyes as wide as possible. Not only would they be able to observe Grandmaster alchemy techniques, but they would also be able to witness the birth of a pill furnace close to Earth Grade!
Just the thought of it was enough to make them shiver in excitement!
Ling Han's expression gradually became very serious. He was never negligent in matters related to alchemy.
After taking a deep breath, he suddenly moved. Her movements suddenly turned smooth and very natural, filled with a unique kind of beauty that pleased the eyes. It was as if his movements were in line with some unknown natural law.
