Chapter 123: Opening a Grocery Store

Time always passes by inadvertently, and five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xu Feng's alchemy skills have made great progress.

Now one furnace of elixirs can basically produce three pills, and each pill is of qualified quality.

His alchemy talent impressed Boss Liang.

He claimed that if Xu Feng could learn alchemy from him earlier, he would have become a first-class top-grade alchemist by now.

However, while refining the elixir, he did not forget to draw the talisman. The foundation-building opportunity mentioned by the old shopkeeper has been lingering in his mind and lingering.

However, the result of being distracted is that his alchemy experience value has not increased too fast in recent times. Now it has just reached 150, and it is still a long way from a breakthrough.

In the alchemy room, Xu Feng pinched his hands and hit the alchemy furnace with several spells. Blue flames gushed out from the spiritual charcoal. He controlled the fire and preheated the alchemy furnace first.

Then he threw the three spiritual herbs for refining the Bigu Pill into the pill furnace one by one, and then released his spiritual consciousness to refine and purify the essence of the spiritual herbs bit by bit.

Half an hour later, he opened the lid of the furnace, and the fragrance immediately filled the air. Three high-quality Bigu Pills were lying at the bottom of the furnace.

Although he had experienced similar scenes many times, he couldn't help but feel happy every time he saw it.

He took out the three pills, checked them carefully, and after confirming that there were no quality problems, he put them away.

Now the pills he refined have begun to be sold to the outside world.

However, he was not doing this, but gave it all to Liang Wan'er.

It happened that she was selling all the pills refined by Liang Lao, so she just sold them together. Don't say, it's really popular.

Although a Bigu Pill is worth less than two spiritual stones, and there is basically nothing left after deducting the money for purchasing raw materials, he is still very happy.

After refining a furnace of pills, he did not strike while the iron is hot, but took out a green jade slip and began to record his experience just now.

This is a method that Mr. Liang taught him. After each time he finished refining the elixir, he would make a summary, analyze the shortcomings, and correct them in the next time he refined the elixir. This would help him avoid detours and improve his elixir refining skills faster.

After remembering the mistakes and experience this time, Xu Feng raised his head and began to look at the elixir refining furnace in front of him.

This elixir refining furnace is not the one that Mr. Liang had before, but the one he bought specifically for 600 spirit stones.

This elixir refining furnace is fiery red, with three legs and four ears. It is called the Four Elephants Red Iron Furnace. The furnace body is covered with mysterious inscriptions. The whole body is made of the first-class top refining material red iron supplemented by other spiritual materials, and is ranked as the first-class middle grade.

As for why he bought another one, it was because Mr. Liang had been preparing for several months and had decided to refine the Soul-Nourishing Pill to fulfill the last wish left by his master.

So Xu Feng could only go around most of the market accompanied by Mr. Liang and the three women, and finally got this Four Elephants Red Iron Furnace.

After buying the alchemy furnace, he put it directly in his room. Fortunately, it was big enough to be used as a bedroom, an alchemy room, and a talisman making room. It was a perfect three-in-one room.

Remembering that he still had things to do today, Xu Feng stared at the alchemy furnace for a while and walked out of the room.

He came to the east wing and did not knock on the door, but sent a message inside.

Old Liang was making alchemy next door. If he knocked on the door, he might disturb him.

"Wan'er, are you there?"

As soon as he finished sending the message, Liang Wan'er's head popped out of the door. As soon as she saw him, a smile immediately appeared on her cheeks.

"Brother Xu, come in and sit down!"

"No, the weather is good today. I'll teach you how to grow wind spirit grass. Haven't you been clamoring to learn? Today is a good opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Liang Wan'er was immediately excited. If Xu Feng hadn't reminded her that her father was still making alchemy, she would probably shout excitedly.

Next, Xu Feng spent half a day teaching Liang Wan'er how to select good spiritual medicine seeds and how to grow seedlings.

These are not too difficult. Under his patient guidance, Liang Wan'er did a good job.

However, the difficulty of cultivating seedlings lies in the care, such as ventilation, light, watering, etc. These require patience and cannot be learned in a short time.

Near the evening, Luo Xinran and Xu Tinglan came back hand in hand.

The elixir shop where Xu Tinglan worked had not seen any improvement in business, so the boss finally decided to close the shop. In this way, she faced the risk of unemployment.

After hearing that Luo Xinran and Xu Feng planned to open a shop selling spiritual medicine, she volunteered to serve as a shop assistant.

Xu Feng naturally could not refuse. Now the relationship between the two was heating up rapidly. Seeing this situation, Luo Xinran did not want to be a bad guy. Besides, the two had known each other for a long time, so she agreed.

However, after hearing about their plan, Mr. Liang suggested that they should not only open a shop selling spirit wine, but also open a grocery store, mainly selling spirit wine, and also sell some spirit pills and talismans.

After careful consideration, everyone accepted this suggestion. Since they were opening a store, they had to engage in diversified operations.

Xu Tinglan's previous boss went bankrupt because he only sold pills and nothing else.

Although it cannot be said that this is the only reason, it does explain some problems.

These days, Xu Tinglan and Luo Xinran, the two girls, go out early and come back late every day, just to choose a location for the store.

"Are you back?"

Xu Feng saw the two people return and walked out of the garden, and asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm so tired. I've been running all day, and my legs are almost broken."

Xu Tinglan sat on the stone bench and began to complain.

Although Luo Xinran didn't say anything, Xu Feng knew that she was also very tired by looking at her tired face.

So he hurriedly poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then handed them both out. The two sat and rested for a while, and then they felt relieved.

"Brother Xu, Sister Luo, Sister Xu, you sit down and chat first, I'm going to cook."

Seeing that the three of them were going to talk about business, Liang Wan'er took the initiative to take on the task of cooking.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Wan'er. Sister is really too tired today, otherwise I will help you."

Luo Xinran smiled at Liang Wan'er apologetically. In the past, the three of them took turns to cook.

Because they were busy selecting sites these days, all this matter fell on Liang Wan'er, so she felt a little sorry.

"You don't have to be so polite, Sister Luo. Brother Xu said that we are all family."

After that, she went to cook, leaving the two girls with strange looks and Xu Feng who was a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, Xinran, Tinglan, how was your day? Is there anything that particularly suits your taste?"
