Han Changming nodded and asked about the situation of other alchemists, and Han Dekun answered truthfully.
Because of Han Changming's arrival, the house was given to him to live in.
The room was not big and simply furnished with a wooden bed and a green futon.
There are fire-proof runes engraved on the walls, so you can make pills with confidence.
Han Changming slapped his storage bag, and a palm-sized purple alchemy furnace flew out and landed in front of him.
He took out dozens of red-glowing command flags and three red-glowing jade plates, which were the tools for setting up the second-level, inferior-grade fire-gathering formation.
The fire gathering formation has thirty-six formation flags and three formation plates. There is one main formation plate and two secondary formation plates. Each formation plate has several grooves for placing spirit stones.
He inserted the formation flag into the corresponding position, buried the formation plate, put the spirit gathering stone into the groove of the main formation plate, buried the main formation plate under the alchemy furnace, and cast a spell into the main formation plate.
With a muffled "puff" sound, a large red flame appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the Zi Yang Furnace.
This was the first time Han Changming used a second-level alchemy furnace to make medicine. He did not dare to be careless. After preheating, he threw the spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace one by one and added spiritual water.
In fact, the effect of refining pills with Qianyang True Flame would be better, but Han Changming was not used to using the second-level Ziyang Furnace to refine pills. He planned to use the formation to refine pills first, and then use Qianyang True Flame to refine pills after he was familiar with the Ziyang Furnace.
The flames gathered by the fire formation are of relatively high temperature and very stable.
A quarter of an hour later, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Zi Yang furnace. Han Changming cast a spell into the main array disk, and the flame went out.
He opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, walked closer and saw twelve light green pills inside. He picked up two pills, examined them carefully, and put them in his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a pure spiritual energy that spread throughout his body.
He quickly sat down cross-legged and used his internal energy to refine the spiritual energy.
Han Changming nodded with satisfaction. The effect of the Yinghuo Array was better than he had imagined. He wondered what the effect of the Qianyang True Flame would be.
Three days passed quickly.
That evening, Han Changming walked out of the house with a faint smile on his face.
The efficiency of alchemy by formation is very high, and the spirit stone can provide mana. He only needs to use his spiritual sense to observe the situation of the spiritual medicine in the alchemy furnace, and the efficiency of alchemy is increased by more than two times.
If Han Changming used the Qianyang True Flame to refine the elixir, his efficiency would not be so high.
In addition to refining pills, Han Changming also refined a batch of first-level talismans. The spiritual water produced by the Taiyi Hualing Gourd has a bonus for both talisman making and alchemy, and the quality of the refined talismans and pills is also relatively good.
Han Changming came outside and Han Dekun was talking to Han Daochun.
"Changming, I have made an appointment with several alchemists to have tea and chat in Qingzhuxuan. If you are free, come and join us!" Han Daochun said with a smile.
Han Changming nodded, took out a green storage bag, handed it to Han Dekun, and said, "Second uncle, there are some first-level talismans and Qi-refining pills in here. I plan to launch a new preferential policy. One bottle of Qi-refining pills costs thirty spirit stones. If you buy two bottles of Qi-refining pills, you will get a free earth wall talisman. If you buy ten bottles of Qi-refining pills, you will get a free continuous fireball talisman. First come, first served."
A dirt wall talisman costs four spirit stones, and a continuous fireball talisman costs twenty spirit stones.
Other medicine stores also have preferential policies: one Qi Refining Pill costs three spirit stones, buy two bottles of Qi Refining Pills and get one free, buy five bottles and get three free. Of course, this is just a policy launched by small stores to attract customers to buy pills, and medicine stores with better business do not need to do this.
"Changming, this discount is too much!" Han Dekun said with a frown.
The preferential policies launched by Han Changming offer more profits than other stores.
"It's okay, this is just the beginning. When business picks up, we can introduce new discounts. Our business is not good now, so let's increase sales first."
Han Changming was confident that he could make a breakthrough. He had taken Qi-refining pills from other pharmacies, and most of them were not as good as the ones he made. He made small profits but quick turnover, and it would not be too late to change the policy after he accumulated a group of repeat customers.
"Let me see the Qi-refining pill made by Changming." Han Daochun ordered.
Han Dekun quickly took out a porcelain bottle and poured out several green pills from it.
Han Daochun examined it carefully and found that both the color and appearance were excellent. He took a Qi-refining pill and his eyes lit up.
"Changming, the Qi Refining Pills you made are pretty good, better than most of the Qi Refining Pills on the market."
Han Changming smiled and said, "I feel relieved with what Tenth Uncle said. I hope I can make a name for myself. By the way, Tenth Uncle, didn't you say you would take me to see some alchemists? Let's get going! I'll leave the elixirs and talismans to Second Uncle."
"Uncle Shi, Changming, leave the store's affairs to me." Han Dekun patted his chest and agreed.
The quality of the pills is good, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Qingzhuxuan is the largest teahouse in Qingbiefang City. Many monks come to Qingzhuxuan to drink tea and chat.
In a private room on the third floor, three men and one woman were chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, how is the business of your Qingdan Hall? The market has been bad recently. We only sell ten bottles of pills a day."
An old man in a red robe who was over fifty years old looked at an old man in a white robe with white hair and beard and asked.
The old man in white robe shook his head and said, "Ten bottles? Fellow Daoist Lin, you should be content! We can't even sell eight bottles of pills a day. To be honest, all the customers have been snatched away by Qiandan Tower. I think we can unite and unify the prices. Don't lower the prices against each other. We are all small businesses and it's not easy."
Xiaodan Pharmacy cannot compete with Dadan Pharmacy, so it can only lower prices or introduce preferential policies to attract customers.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, that being said, the pills we sell are not better than those sold at Qiandan Tower. If the prices are similar, why don't customers go to Qiandan Tower to buy pills?" A beautiful woman in her early thirties in a blue dress said with a frown.
The pills from Qiandan Building are of the best quality. The pills from other pill shops are mostly inferior to those from Qiandan Building. If they want to survive, they must lower their prices and compare prices from different stores. Casual cultivators are not fools.
"Madam Song, a price reduction is inevitable, but let's unite and unify the price so as not to give our customers an advantage. Otherwise, if you reduce the price by one spirit stone today, I will reduce it by two spirit stones tomorrow. It's not easy for everyone, so why make things difficult for our colleagues?" The old man in white robe sighed.
There was a knock on the door from outside, and a man's voice suddenly sounded: "Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Qian, we are here."
"Friend Han, we are old acquaintances. Please push the door and come in! There's no need to be so formal." The red-robed old man said with a smile.
The door opened and Han Daochun and Han Changming walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Qian, this is my great-nephew Han Changming." Han Daochun pointed at Han Changming and introduced him.
Seeing Han Changming, the monks present stood up and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Han."
