Chapter 43: Chapter 45: Attempting Alchemy
"Young Master Yan, the Miteer family is not lacking in sincerity. It's just that Di-Rank Dou Techniques are indeed difficult to find, and the Mu family has already learned of our intentions, secretly causing us trouble."
Ya Fei said with an apologetic expression, "Your initial request was for a year's time, but now there's suddenly a change of mind. The family can only let me bring these two Dou Techniques first.
However, rest assured, the family is already looking for other channels to Chu Yun, even Mulan and Luo Yan Empire, and should find suitable Dou Techniques before the end of the year."
"No need!"
Yan Qingshan glanced briefly at these two Dou Techniques, and a flash of light passed through his eyes, "I'll take both of these Dou Techniques, as well as these three cultivation techniques. How much is the total in gold coins?"
"What!"
Ya Fei looked surprised, so surprised that she stood up from her seat. Originally, she came with the intention of offending someone, because the two Di-Rank Dou Techniques sent by the family were really hard to put into words.
Their power was strong, but the difficulty of mastering them far exceeded other Dou Techniques of the same rank. Wasn't that kind of thing cheating people?
Who knew that in the end there would be an unexpected turn of events, and Yan Qingshan would actually take everything, which made her a bit dazed and hard to believe.
"You heard right, I'll take everything. How much is the total in gold coins?"
Yan Qingshan nodded again to confirm, and Ya Fei came to her senses, extending her slender hand to gesture, "Five million. The family's intention is that if you take everything, it will be four million gold coins.
These three Xuan High-Rank Dou Qi Methods, besides the Wind Rolling Technique, the other two are too esoteric, and it would be difficult to sell more than five hundred thousand even at auction.
As for the two Di-Rank Dou Techniques, the base price of an Di-Rank Dou Technique is one million. These five items total four million gold coins."
"Four million gold coins, wouldn't that mean your Miteer family would lose money!"
Yan Qingshan touched his chin. Xuan High-Rank Dou Qi Method with matching techniques are worth more than a million, and Di-Rank Dou Techniques, a million is just the base price.
Although Ya Fei's words made some sense, the Miteer family had spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the past half year. To take four million, they might not lose, but there wouldn't be much profit either.
"Forget it, let me see how much these things are worth, and take them all as payment!"
The storage ring on Yan Qingshan's hand turned, and a large box containing many treasures appeared, occupying a large area in the hall.
Ya Fei and Gu Ni stepped forward to open the box, and the light of gems and treasures shone on their faces. These were the valuable items that Yan Qingshan had taken from the cliff cave treasury, and there were too many valuable items inside.
"This..."
After Ya Fei and Gu Ni took a quick look, they turned to look at each other in shock. They had already guessed that Yan Qingshan would be generous, but they didn't expect him to be this generous.
Ya Fei restrained herself and turned her head, saying to Yan Qingshan, "Young Master Yan, these items are very valuable. Plus the deposit you gave earlier, even after deducting the five Dou Qi Method and Dou Techniques, there's still a difference of nearly ten million gold coins..."
"Ten million gold coins, there's still that much!"
Yan Qingshan didn't expect that the owner of the treasure room was so wealthy, but thinking about it, it wasn't strange for a Dou Emperor expert to have such wealth.
After all, Dou Emperor was already the absolute top level of the Jia Ma Empire. Controlling an empire, a wealth of ten million gold coins was not strange.
"Then, consider this as my long-term investment in the Miteer Auction House. Help me find and collect pill recipes, notes, and precious herbs related to alchemists..."
Yan Qingshan touched his chin and made a decision. He now had the Peach Blossom Flame.
Although he couldn't cultivate fire-attribute Dou Qi and Dou Techniques, refining herbs shouldn't be a problem. His main attribute was wood, and his spiritual perception far exceeded ordinary people. It seemed that the three basic elements of an alchemist were not a problem.
Moreover, since getting the Mo family alchemist's notes, he had many ideas, and he could take this time to try them out.
"Alright!"
Although Ya Fei was confused, she didn't say much, using her storage ring to collect the box of treasures given by Yan Qingshan, and left Qingshan Town with Gu Ni.
…
In the small valley of the Magical Beast Mountains, Yan Qingshan and the others lived a quiet cultivation life.
In recent days, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Ling had completed the cultivation of Nine Segment Dou Disciple and became Dou practitioners.
Now, they were trying to cultivate and master the three Xuan High-Rank Dou Qi Method and Dou Techniques that Yan Qingshan had brought back, along with Xue Lan.
It had to be said that top-tier talent was truly terrifying. From Dou Disciple to Dou practitioner, Xue Lan took more than ten years to succeed. Yan Qingshan, not including the days before transmigration, also spent more than half a year to succeed.
Qing Ling and Xiao Yi Xian were even more terrifying. Because learning medical knowledge took a lot of time, Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation was not very fast before, similar to the original Yan Qingshan, but after opening the Woeful Poison Body, she completed Yan Qingshan's half-year hard work in less than a month.
And Qing Ling was even more terrifying. Before Yan Qingshan went to the Tager Desert, she even had trouble meeting her basic needs.
However, in less than a year since Yan Qingshan met her, she had completed the transformation from zero to Dou practitioner. How terrifying!
During this period, the three girls cultivated diligently. The Xuan High-Rank cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques that Yan Qingshan had obtained at a high price, they didn't want to disappoint his good intentions.
Dou Qi Methods were easy to learn, but Dou Techniques were difficult to master. Dou Techniques required time to master, so during this period, they basically didn't go out.
Although Yan Qingshan lost someone to take care of him, he wasn't so weak. Coincidentally, this valley was full of precious herbs, and he also had the intention to try alchemy.
In the canyon, there was a small mountain cave on a rock wall six or seven meters above the ground. After Yan Qingshan cleaned this mountain cave, he made it his alchemy place.
The medicine cauldron that had been used for the Lion Heart Baptism was placed in a suitable position in the cave, and Yan Qingshan sat cross-legged on the rock, with the precious herbs that had been prepared around him.
He concentrated his mind to run Dou Qi, and the cyan-black Dou Qi swirled in the Dantian. The dormant Peach Blossom Flame seed suddenly surged, and a pinkish glow appeared on Yan Qingshan's face.
A pink flame separated from his body and entered the medicine cauldron, burning fiercely.
Yan Qingshan controlled the Peach Blossom Flame to warm the cauldron, his eyes sweeping over the neatly placed herbs around him, and the steps that he had simulated for a long time flashed through his mind.
Two light blue herbs with spiritual aura were taken in his hand, and then put into the medicine cauldron one by one.
Yan Qingshan carefully controlled the Peach Blossom Flame. After most of the Green Spiritual Grass herbs were dried, they gradually turned into a pool of spiritual liquid. Then, Yan Qingshan took a pitch-black Nether Grass herb with a touch of strange color from the side.
The Nether Grass herb was put into the medicine cauldron by Yan Qingshan, and slowly condensed into liquid under the influence of the Peach Blossom Flame.
Just as the two medicinal liquids began to mix, with a hissing sound, the Peach Blossom Flame rose and extinguished, and the spiritual liquid instantly turned into a pool of black foam.
"Failed. Alchemy is indeed difficult!"
Yan Qingshan shook his head as he looked at the failed medicinal liquid. He was already prepared to fail. If it was so easy to succeed, how could alchemists be the most respected profession on the continent!
