Chapter 565 Hard to accept!

Wei Hong walked around the rows of stalls, enjoying the sight.

After a while, he suddenly stopped in front of a stall selling spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs and various materials.

Two customers had just left this stall, so it was not crowded at this time.

After Wei Hong walked over, he looked around first, then pointed to a crystal clear flower with a hint of blue placed in a jade box and asked: "Fellow Daoist, how much is this blue flower?"

The reason why he could recognize this spiritual flower at a glance was because he had mentioned it when he was discussing alchemy with Ding Xue before, and one of the pill recipes that Ding Xue exchanged with him required the blue flower as the main material, so Wei Hong planned to ask the price.

The stall owner was a handsome monk who looked about 30 years old. He was quite handsome and always had a kind smile. Facing Wei Hong's inquiry, he immediately smiled and replied: "Hello, fellow Daoist, this blue flower is priced at 60 spiritual stones."

"60 spiritual stones?"

Wei Hong frowned slightly when he heard this.

This price is not cheap, and it is even a bit expensive.

You know, refining a pill requires at least six or seven kinds of materials, and more than ten or even dozens of materials. Moreover, no alchemist can guarantee that the pill he refines will be successfully produced in one go, so alchemy has a lot of risks.

And this blue flower alone costs sixty spirit stones. If he wants to refine the jade pill in his hand, he needs at least one or two hundred spirit stones just to buy materials. If one furnace is ruined, it means that one or two hundred spirit stones are directly wasted.

This is actually the reason why alchemists are rare, because the initial investment is too large. Just to practice, it takes a lot of spirit stones and resources, and it is not necessarily possible to improve the level of alchemy. Therefore, it is very difficult to become a high-level alchemist without the support of a strong force.

Of course, among the vast number of casual cultivators, there may be many Qi training cultivators who can become first-level middle and lower-grade alchemists with their talent and hard work, but there are very few who can become first-level upper-grade alchemists. Wei Hong only knows Ding Xue.

Therefore, the price of this blue flower is still a little difficult for Wei Hong to accept.

The handsome young cultivator seemed to see Wei Hong's hesitation, so he smiled and said: "If you really want it, you can take it away for 56 spirit stones!"

This person reduced four spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth, which surprised Wei Hong.

He looked up at the stall owner and said lightly: "No hurry, I'll take a look."

At this time, he picked up a silver monster fur and asked: "What kind of monster fur is this? How much is the price?"

"You have good eyes!" The handsome stall owner smiled and replied: "This is the fur of the first-level upper-grade silver fox, selling for 80 spirit stones."

Hearing this, Wei Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

According to the prices in the Qingyun Mountain Market in the past, the first-grade high-quality monster skin is generally around 50 spirit stones, and the premium will not exceed 10%, but the fur of the silver fox in front of me costs 80 spirit stones, which is more than half more expensive than the monster skin in the Qingyun Mountain Market.

"No wonder the talismans here are much more expensive, it turns out that the raw materials are more expensive!"

Wei Hong understood and figured out the key.

Then he asked about the prices of several other materials and concluded that they were not much different.

At this time, the handsome young stall owner suddenly smiled and asked: "This Taoist friend should have just arrived in the Immortal City not long ago?"

"To be honest with you, I am indeed a newcomer, and I hope you will forgive me for any trouble I have caused."

Wei Hong admitted it with a smile.

Because he knew very well that his current behavior of wandering around and asking questions without buying anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not familiar with the situation in this city. Such a person must have just arrived in Cangshan Fairy City not long ago, so he could not hide it even if he wanted to, so Wei Hong simply admitted it openly.

But he did not expect that the young stall owner would wave his hand and laugh cheerfully: "Haha, what's the trouble, Taoist friend is willing to patronize my stall, it is my honor, by the way, I am Yang Huan, what is your name?"

"So it's Taoist friend Yang, I am Wei Hong!"

Wei Hong hurriedly introduced himself, and used his real name.

He thought that except Ding Xue, no one here knew who he was, so it didn't matter what identity he used.

As for Yang Huan's interest in chatting with him, he naturally wanted it, just in time to learn more about the fairy city from Yang Huan, which was one of his purposes.

Yang Huan was quite enthusiastic. He asked, "Are you an alchemist? I saw that you asked about this blue flower at the beginning."

"I guess so!" Wei Hong nodded, and then replied, "I can only refine a few middle and low-grade elixirs, which is not worth mentioning."

"Haha, this is already good, Daoist, don't underestimate yourself!" Yang Huan laughed.

Since it came to this, Wei Hong immediately asked, "Daoyou Yang, I am a newcomer and don't know much about this city. If I want a job, I wonder if Daoyou Yang can give me some advice?"

"Daoyou Wei's idea is not surprising. In fact, it is also the idea of ​​most casual cultivators who have just arrived in Cangshan Xiancheng. After all, it is not easy to live in the Xiancheng. How can you support yourself without some income, and how can you maintain your cultivation, right?"

Yang Huan expressed his understanding, and then asked: "It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to find a job that suits you and pays well in Cangshan Fairy City. Fellow Daoist Wei, do you want to find a job refining pills?"

Wei Hong's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately nodded and said: "Of course, refining pills is possible."

Yang Huan's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he introduced: "Since Fellow Daoist Wei wants to find a job refining pills, then I suggest that you go to the alchemy workshop to ask, or some large chambers of commerce and pill shops, etc. These places may recruit alchemists, but the treatment may be different."

Obviously, if you want to find a job refining pills, the several ways Yang Huan just introduced should be the most common and most popular ones.

Wei Hong heard this, but fell into thought.

Seeing that Wei Hong didn't seem to like the above places, Yang Huan smiled and said, "Of course, if you are very confident in your alchemy skills, you can also try to make the alchemy yourself. In this way, you don't have to look at other people's faces, but you need to invest a lot of money."

"Make the alchemy yourself?"

Wei Hong's eyes lit up at first, but then he frowned.

It's not that he hadn't thought about this idea, but he didn't make a rash decision before he understood the market situation and the various situations in the fairy city.

At this time, hearing Yang Huan's suggestion, his mind suddenly became active again.
