Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726 Change The Recipe
Ye Liuyun could only explain to Li Yuanyang the importance of cultivating the Divine Soul.
The truth was, Li Yuanyang was not unaware, but most martial practitioners struggled to afford even the pills for refining Qi and refining the body, let alone have the resources to cultivate the Divine Soul. He was worried that even if Ye Liuyun could refine the soul-condensing pills, there would be no market for them.
If it was just for his own cultivation, he thought spending ten thousand Divine Crystals was not worth it.
"It’s just ten thousand Alora Crystals, can’t you manage that?"
Ye Liuyun argued, feeling frustrated with Li Yuanyang’s stance.
"How is it not a problem? Do you know how much I can earn in a year? With so many people in the mansion waiting to be fed and clothed, ten thousand Alora Crystals would almost cover everyone’s expenses for a year!" Li Yuanyang retorted.
"Are the people in this God Realm so lacking in ambition? A city lord acting like a waste! A pill master, acting shamelessly!" Ye Liuyun sighed heavily, feeling frustrated.
Thinking that Ye Liuyun had compromised, Li Yuanyang was about to buy the other two pill recipes.
Little did he know, Ye Liuyun said, "If you don’t buy the soul-condensing pill recipe, I won’t refine the other two types of pills!"
"You..." Li Yuanyang was about to burst out in anger but restrained himself, thinking about his reliance on Ye Liuyun in the future.
At this moment, the shop assistant interjected, "Pill masters need a strong Divine Soul to refine pills! Perhaps this young master values the soul-condensing pill recipe for this reason?"
Ye Liuyun gratefully glanced at the shop assistant, silently thanking her for providing a reasonable excuse.
Li Yuanyang, hearing this, thought that Ye Liuyun genuinely had this in mind.
Thinking Ye Liuyun truly had this in mind, Li Yuanyang considered that if Ye Liuyun’s strength increased, he could refine better pills, earning him more money. From this perspective, the investment seemed worthwhile.
In the end, under Ye Liuyun’s insistence, he spent thirty thousand Alora Crystals to purchase the three most basic pill recipes. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
After receiving the pill recipes, Ye Liuyun quickly memorized the contents before handing them over to Li Yuanyang for safekeeping.
"Just a glance and it’s worth ten thousand Alora Crystals?" Li Yuanyang was a bit unconvinced.
The shop assistant, afraid of him changing his mind, quickly said, "Once the customer has viewed the pill recipe, the transaction is considered complete!"
Martial practitioners had good memories. Even if they couldn’t memorize things as effortlessly as Ye Liuyun, they could easily remember pill recipes.
Once the pill recipe was handed over, it was considered sold.
Li Yuanyang knew this. He also asked the shop assistant, "Do you buy back these pill recipes?"
The shop assistant smiled awkwardly, "If it’s a pill recipe we don’t have, we will buy it. But if it’s one we already have, of course, we won’t buy it again."
Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly and urged Li Yuanyang, "Alright, let’s hurry and buy the medicinal ingredients so we can go back to refining pills."
However, another dispute arose between Ye Liuyun and Li Yuanyang when buying the medicinal ingredients.
Ye Liuyun wanted to buy enough ingredients for a thousand doses of each pill recipe, while Li Yuanyang planned to only buy enough for a few dozen doses.
"You haven’t even tried it, how do you know you can refine the pills? Buy a few less first to try, and if they turn out, I’ll have someone buy more!" Li Yuanyang advised.
In fact, Ye Liuyun knew he could refine the pills as soon as he saw the pill recipes and the method.
The only difficulty might be the temperature of the flames, which might be slightly off. However, even if it was off, he could adjust the amount of various materials and improve the refining method to achieve the level of a second-grade pill.
So he suggested that Li Yuanyang buy more.
The shop assistant took advantage of the situation to sell more. "My lord, buying a thousand doses at once will get you a discount! Overall, it’s quite a significant difference!"
This piqued Li Yuanyang’s interest. After calculating, he realized he was saving over three hundred Alora Crystals.
"Well then, let’s buy enough for a thousand doses!" Li Yuanyang finally agreed.
"Okay, I’ll prepare the medicinal ingredients!" The shop assistant smiled and agreed. She was going to earn quite a bit in commission today.
"Wait a moment, let me adjust the proportions!" Ye Liuyun asked for paper and pen from the shop assistant and rewrote the amounts of each ingredient.
"You’re going to change the proportions without even trying? What if you mess it up? It would be a waste of ingredients," Li Yuanyang worried that Ye Liuyun might not understand the situation and mess things up. If the pills couldn’t be refined, it would waste the ingredients.
"I’m confident!" Ye Liuyun stated assertively.
Although the second-grade pill recipes had completely different materials from the first-grade ones, the pharmacology was the same. With his previous experience, Ye Liuyun could analyze and determine the best ratios for refining better pills.
Li Yuanyang, who didn’t understand pill refining, had nothing to say. He just felt that spending thirty thousand Alora Crystals was even more unworthy. He had only glanced at them and now had to rewrite everything himself. Making money in this trade was too easy.
He wanted to ask Mr. Liu to help him check if Ye Liuyun’s changes were correct, but he guessed Mr. Liu wouldn’t even look at him now, so he had to listen to Ye Liuyun.
The shop assistant didn’t mind. Since the differences were not significant, she prepared the medicinal ingredients according to Ye Liuyun’s proportions.
After preparing the ingredients, Ye Liuyun checked them and stored them properly.
Li Yuanyang then paid over seven thousand Alora Crystals, completing their major purchase.
"A total of thirty-seven thousand Alora Crystals! Don’t make me lose money!" Li Yuanyang muttered as soon as they left, worried that Ye Liuyun wouldn’t be able to refine the pills.
As soon as they left, Mr. Liu asked the shop assistant to bring Ye Liuyun’s ingredient proportions for him to check.
Although he had ignored Ye Liuyun, his Divine Sense had been paying attention to them.
"Just a martial practitioner from the mortal realm, pretending to be a pill refiner! Truly ignorant of his place in the world," he explained to the elder he was chatting with.
However, when the shop assistant brought Ye Liuyun’s ingredient proportions to him, his expression turned serious.
"This kid knows pill refining! The ingredient proportions are practically perfect!"
As a second-grade pill master himself, he had to refine basic pills like these every month to sell to the association.
The proportions Ye Liuyun adjusted were indeed the most optimal, identical to those he used in his own pill refining.
However, Ye Liuyun had adjusted the pill recipes before even starting to refine them, while he had spent many years experimenting and refining them himself!
The face of Mr. Liu turned pale, and at this moment, he didn’t know what to say. He was astounded by Ye Liuyun’s proficiency, and at the same time, he slightly regretted missing out on a pill master like Ye Liuyun!
He asked the sales assistant, "Did he just write this himself? You didn’t get it wrong?"
The sales assistant replied, "Absolutely not, you can see from the handwriting that it was written not long ago, and it’s still wet."
