Chapter 418: Taiyuan City (Part 2)
The visitor was an old man of about sixty years old, with messy hair and unkempt hair. He was wearing a single-layer black straight body with open chest and wearing chassis shoes on his feet. He was inappropriate, had long beards and was not tall. He was about to reach Su Fu's shoulders and had a pair of eyes that looked like copper bells. Even if he looked at you calmly, he would feel stared at.
When Su Fuzheng was stunned, his arm was clenched by the old man and ran forward.
Hua Yin hurriedly chased after him and said to the old man with anger: "Old man Huo, the person named Su also wants to help me carry things. Where are you going to pull him?"
The old man walked quickly and glared at her: "You are not big or small, your lady will call me old."
His eyes were originally like copper bells, and they were even more terrifying when they glared.
Hua Yin was not afraid at all and curled her lips disdainfully: "With your appearance, do you look like an elder? Tell me where you want to take him."
This old man is the Huo Lao, the parents of Su Fumu. The deputy director of Tiangongfang station here. He is a very famous alchemist. He has an impatient and hot temper and is ignorant. Most people in the city don’t like to interact with him, because his straightforward and hot temper is very easy to offend people. However, he has to admit that his skill in alchemy is indeed great.
An ordinary alchemist can only refine the Yuan Pill in a furnace of Tianzi Dan, but he can only refine about 200 pieces, but he can refine more than 400 pieces, and they are all top-grade. He will never waste any medicinal materials. His understanding of the path of alchemy and the precise control of the alchemy fire have reached the realm of transformation. Such a person is the person that major clans are rushing to seek, but for some reason they hide in Taiyuan City and do not come out.
There are currently four small sects in Taiyuan City who jointly manage it. All four small sects have paid a great price to strive for him to become an alchemist of this sect, but they are all directly rejected.
Four sects occupy the southeast, west and northeast of Taiyuan City, each with a regional workshop, all with Linglong Pavilion and Tiangongfang. In addition, there are some small businesses with little strength. Unlike their own sects, small sects and major sects, they all have to participate in the production of talismans, carving of talismans, training rare materials into semi-finished products, etc., in order to meet the needs of major markets, thus forming a complete industrial chain. Otherwise, the small veins they occupy will not be enough for them to practice.
Therefore, the four essentials of cultivation are: wealth, companion, law, earth, and wealth.
Old Huo was tolerant of the little girl, so he responded lightly: "I originally wanted to go to Tiangong Mountain to find this boy. Today, Zhang Hen's immortal old man wanted to compete with me for the trial pill. How could I be afraid of him? But none of the medicine children around me worked."
When Hua Yin heard this, she immediately said with great interest: "So you want Su Fu to replace your medicine boys?"
Su Fu naturally knew the meaning of the medicine boy, that is, he was an alchemist assistant. Of course, this was not something that ordinary monks could do.
First of all, you need to have the ability to be unafraid of the alchemist's power of alchemy fire, and secondly, you need to have a deep understanding of medicinal materials. For example, when an alchemist calls out the name of medicinal materials, the medicinal child must react very quickly and take the corresponding medicinal materials to the alchemist.
Not only that, even the amount cannot be wrong, otherwise the whole furnace of elixir will turn into waste products.
There are many alchemy masters in the real world, but an excellent medicine boy is extremely difficult to find. Any monk with good qualifications and high-quality character will not invest too much effort in the other party, so as not to delay his own practice.
A skilled alchemist will naturally not use medicine children, and will be able to handle multiple complicated processes by himself. However, if it is a high-level elixir, it will inevitably require medicine children's assistance.
On the one hand, the alchemist's own cultivation is not high, just like Huo Lao, who has devoted himself to the path of alchemy for his whole life, and his own cultivation is not only condensing the orifices. On the other hand, it is alchemist. Alchemist is a must-have item for alchemists. Unlike the fire refiners who refine fire, alchemist is used to heat the alchemist. It is just that all fire, namely fire-based magic tricks and fire magic powers can be used.
Fire refining is the heart fire, which can be sent or received by the heart, which can be big or small, and does not harm the creatures. The fire is hot and violent, and it is extremely difficult to control. If you are not careful, you will hurt others and yourself. Therefore, ordinary alchemists will train multiple medicine children. One can choose the best to inherit the robe and mantle, and the other is that the medicine children can help refining alchemy, and they are also half of the disciples, and they can be used at will on weekdays.
Just because Su Fu knew this inner path, he felt embarrassed and said, "Old Huo, with his shallow understanding of the alchemy, he may not be able to defeat this. Moreover, the alchemy fire is manic and has no cultivation at all. How can he block its power?"
Old Huo said impatiently: "I said you can do it, but if you don't, don't talk nonsense. If you win that old man, start tomorrow, I will give you two white jade wages a day."
Hua Yin smiled happily: "Su Fuchen, then you must win. If there are two white jades a day, you don't have to hunt monsters and have some spare time. Finally, there is no need for the lady to worry about you anymore."
Su Fu smiled bitterly. Although he was used to his current identity, he never thought that one day he would be busy with one or two white jades.
If this is time and fate, then from the Cloud City in the Nine-level Heaven, falling into the abyss underground, and even if it fails to crush him, what else can he suffer?
Su Fu naturally didn't know that fate had changed quietly in the choice, and disasters came so quickly that he felt like he was dreaming now.
Not long after, the three of them came to the market in the west of the city. They said it was a market, but in fact they were just a market that was inseparable from ordinary people. There were dense stalls and shops next to the road, and many of them read: Xuji Pharmacy, Taiyuan Restaurant, Fude Inn, Laolin Leather. Many of these words were opened by casual cultivators.
When you enter the market, there is a trembling noise. The past monks are all in a hurry and buy the needed elixirs, medicines, talismans, etc., and they go out of the city in groups to hunt monsters. Most of the cultivators in the city make a living by hunting monsters and digging rare materials.
Su Fu has been here for nearly half a year and is familiar with many casual cultivators. Then some casual cultivators greeted him one by one, and he responded with a smile.
Huo always was impatient, but he ignored their greetings and pulled Su Fu to the store.
Tiangongfang has strongholds in every market in the city. The stronghold in Xicheng is a unique existence. A small shop on the street has no signs and only sells elixirs. It only opens at the Shen time and closes on time on time. It is outdated. Even so, the business in the store is still extremely hot, because the elixirs produced by Huo Lao only costs 80% of the market price, which is 20% higher than the elixirs sold in other stores.
Therefore, Su Fu is the servant who sells elixirs for Huo Lao and plays an important role in the market. Some casual cultivators want to curry favor with him. Just don’t make things difficult for Su Fu when selling elixirs.
Of course, Su Fu has never made things difficult for anyone, and will not accept anyone's spiritual jade, which is well-known.
At this time, when we arrived outside the store, we saw a lot of people gathered at the door. One of them saw them coming with sharp eyes and laughed: "Look, Mr. Huo is here with his medicine boy. Today we can open our eyes!"
