Chapter 16 Tell Lao Mo, I want to eat fish!

"Yuhao, how much money do you have left on hand now?" Yao Lao suddenly asked in the sea of ​​spirit.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, calculated in his mind, and then replied: "Probably a little more than 10,000 gold soul coins. What's wrong, teacher?"

"Now you can take a preliminary try to learn the art of alchemy, but if you want to refine medicine, you must have materials, and you also need a medicine cauldron." Yao Lao said.

"I told you before that you were short of money. The teacher can help you solve it. What I mean is that you can sell the products you make. But first, you need to have enough money to buy materials and medicine cauldrons, and You must prepare at least twenty materials, after all, when learning alchemy, you must be prepared to fail."

Huo Yuhao nodded. In fact, he had already guessed some of what Yao Lao said.

After all, Emperor Yan initially gained some money and status in Novice Village by selling the elixirs he and Yao Lao refined. His current situation is no different from what he was at that time.

After refining the elixir and selling it, you get money, and the money is used to buy materials to refine the elixir. This is the business model of the alchemist's profit-making business model.

And if you want to find an alchemist to refine elixirs, it is absolutely impossible to provide only one set of materials. Generally, you need to provide three or even five sets of materials.

And if the refining of the medicine is successful once, all the remaining materials will belong to the refining pharmacist. If all the materials are used up but the refining of the medicine fails, the refining pharmacist will not bear any responsibility.

Making cakes on flat land and ensuring harvests during drought and floods are just such a business without capital for alchemists. But that's it, how many people want to ask alchemists to make medicine, but there is no such way!

But for Huo Yuhao now, the biggest problem he faces is the lack of start-up capital.

The 10,000 gold soul coins in his hand now seem to be quite a lot, but they are not enough to purchase the materials for alchemy and to cast a suitable medicine cauldron.

In addition to rare medicinal herbs, the materials Yao Lao used to make elixirs were the essence and blood of soul beasts that were over a hundred years old. Although this kind of thing is not so valuable that it has no market, the price is still extremely high.

In order to withstand the temperature of the flame generated by the soul power, and even the burning of animal fire and strange fire, the material of the medicinal cauldron must also be extremely high-temperature resistant rare metals.

If calculated carefully, the money he has on hand now is completely insufficient, and the gap is huge.

After all, his daily diet also costs a lot of money. He must not spend all the money to buy medicine refining materials and medicine cauldrons, thus affecting his own practice.

Yao Lao was also observing Huo Yuhao at this time. If Huo Yuhao asked him for help and asked him to refine something for sale first, he would not refuse. But this shows that Huo Yuhao has become dependent on him, and it will be very dangerous if this continues.

Although the flowers in the greenhouse grow very quickly, they cannot withstand wind and rain. Only by realizing self-improvement and self-reliance can we become a truly strong person in the future.

"How about asking someone to borrow some money first?" Huo Yuhao was also thinking about this question in his mind at this time. After all, he didn't want to ask Yao Lao for help for such a trivial matter.

"Wang Dong should not be short of money, but it's better for me to stay away from her now. She has the divine will of King Tang Shen in her body, and I don't dare to get entangled with her now."

"Ning Tian is the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, and he should be very rich. But we are not familiar with each other now, so she won't lend it to me, right?"

"If the deputy dean of the Soul Guidance Department has a lot of money, he will definitely lend it to me as long as I am willing to ask. But... forget it, the Shrek department has to repay the debt with my own body. It’s better not to cause trouble for yourself..."

Huo Yuhao thought of several people, but none of them seemed suitable.

"Big fish, where can I find a big fish to buy me some soul coins..."

While Huo Yuhao was deep in thought, a muscular man who looked a little thin seemed to have heard what he said and walked towards him excitedly.

"Brother, how do you know I caught a twenty-pound arowana today?"

Huo Yuhao was immediately confused when he heard this. He was obviously talking to himself here, and he didn't know this person either!

Who asked you exactly? Insidious fisherman!

"Hey, wait a minute, fish?!" Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, what a skill, you can catch such a big arowana?" Huo Yuhao patted the fisherman's arm and praised loudly.

"Ahem, this... I didn't catch this fish entirely by myself." The angler said, scratching his head honestly. "Today, my daughter accompanied me to catch fish, and she caught a 20-pound golden arowana on the first stroke. But she didn't have that much strength, so I still relied on me to pull the fish up."

When Huo Yuhao heard this, he looked with some pity at the golden arowana that was about one meter long on the trailer next to the fishing guy.

The veteran air force is not scary, but the newbies are most scared. What did you say you did to provoke her? Is it okay now? I was given a gift package as a newbie, right?

"Brother, what do you do?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I deliver fish to the college canteen. I am an ordinary merchant in Shrek City." The fisherman laughed. "Shrek's students are all noble soul masters. They don't dare to let you call me big brother or big brother. It will cost me my life. Just call me Lao Mo."

"Old Mo?!" Huo Yuhao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was in awe.

"Hello, Lao Mo, I am a freshman at Shrek Academy. My name is Gao Qi... No, my name is Huo Yuhao!" Huo Yuhao shook Lao Mo's rough right hand.

"Starting from today, I want to buy some fish from you, and ask you to help me buy some fresh meat from ten-year-old soul beasts, as well as some vegetables and the like. Everything will be purchased from you at three times the market price. What do you think about the purchase?"

"Three times the market price?!" Lao Mo said in disbelief. "No, no, no, this is too much. I can't earn as much as one of your children, so just give me some errand fees."

Huo Yuhao smiled gently and patted this simple and honest fisherman on the shoulder.

"It doesn't matter, just do as I say. When my business grows in the future, I will give you more money!"

Lao Mo declined several times, but still could not defeat Huo Yuhao and could only leave with a lot of gratitude.

The 20-pound golden arowana also belonged to Huo Yuhao, and was handed over to him along with other things in the evening.

Huo Yuhao gave Lao Mo a deposit of one thousand gold soul coins to purchase these things. Considering that he might not have time to go to Lao Mo to pick up the goods in person in the future, he also agreed with Lao Mo on a code for picking up the goods.

Tell Lao Mo, I want to eat fish!

Yao Lao was completely confused at this time. When he saw Lao Mo leaving, he quickly asked Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, what do you want to do?"

"Teacher, does alchemy require practicing the ability to control flames?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

"Yes, the soul's perception of the fire is the most important thing in refining medicine, but why do you ask this?" Yao Lao asked confused.

"It's nothing. I found a very clever way to practice my control over flames. You will know about it tonight."
