Chapter 530 Monopoly

~~

Ye Chen pulled out the first book from the first column of the bookshelf, flipped through it, and glanced at the ten lines quickly. Those lines of words were reflected in Ye Chen's mind, as if they were engraved, and he remembered them very clearly.

With Ye Chen's current brain width, it is not difficult at all to write down these things.

In the past tens of thousands of years in the Tianyuan Continent, the art of alchemy has evolved to the extreme. After being perfected by countless alchemy masters, all kinds of new theories created are unimaginable by the pharmacists on the Eastern Continent. It is equivalent to a master pharmacist in the Eastern Continent.

After reading all these materials, it is not difficult to become a one-star pharmacist. It is said that Ming Yuan has been refining alchemy for decades, and he is only a one-star pharmacist. It can only be said that his aptitude is too dull.

These materials are all from the hands of masters and are their valuable experience.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, is there any reason why the art of alchemy cannot be achieved?

If Master Xuan Yi and Senior Brother Li Xu came over and read these alchemy books, it would probably be very easy to reach the level of a one-star pharmacist. After all, they all have profound alchemy skills.

In half an hour, Ye Chen had already read three finger-thick alchemy books, and firmly memorized the contents in his mind.

While Ye Chen was flipping through these alchemy books, Ming Yuan walked in from the outside. Seeing Ye Chen flipping through the alchemy books, he snorted coldly with disdain.

Seeing Ming Yuan coming in, Ye Chen put the alchemy book back to its original place, and sat back in front of the furnace.

"A burning fire, do you think you can become a one-star pharmacist by reading these alchemy books? It's a fool's dream!" Ming Yuan sarcastically said, "In Tianyuan Continent, how many people want to change from a low-level person to a high-ranking one?" Wait, do you think you can secretly learn alchemy by reading these alchemy books? You'd better get rid of this idea as soon as possible, you are a fire burner now, and you will still be a fire burner in the future, don't even think about turning over in this life!"

Ye Chen ignored Ming Yuan and concentrated on digesting everything he had just learned, as if it were a dog barking in his ears.

Seeing that Ye Chen was expressionless and silent, Ming Yuan was a little dissatisfied with a malicious look in his eyes and mocked: "If you want to become a one-star pharmacist, you need to have a star-soul fusion degree of at least 20, do you have it? I heard that you are You are from the Eastern Continent, with a star-soul fusion degree of 0, tsk tsk, the only person with a star-soul fusion degree of 0 for thousands of years, you didn't hit him head-on to death, and you have the thickest skin for thousands of years!"

After Mingyuan said a few words, seeing that Ye Chen hadn't responded, he also felt bored, so he didn't say anything more. Just now, the third material was refined into a first-grade original god pill. He was in a good mood, and felt that Ye Chen would be a firefighter. , Barely considered qualified, if it goes too far, it would be a pity that Ye Chen would really go head-on and kill him. After all, it is difficult to find a good fire boy.

Ming Yuan refined the elixir a few more times, and basically succeeded every three times, which made him quite excited, and the sarcasm towards Ye Chen was less. Every time he went out to deliver pills to Yaoshi Pavilion, Ye Chen would quickly flip through the pill books on the bookshelf and put them down before Ming Yuan came back.

At the end of the day, Ye Chen read more than a dozen books that were one finger thick.

The news that Ming Yuan successfully refined five first-grade elixir in a row quickly spread throughout the Pharmacist Pavilion, and the pharmacists in the Pharmacist Pavilion were amazed. Mingyuan's alchemy skills must not have suddenly made a breakthrough, right? .

Ming Yuan has a fiery temper, lacks patience, and average aptitude. The success rate of alchemy has always been ranked at the bottom of the entire Pharmacist Pavilion. think,

He suddenly exploded, and the success rate of alchemy suddenly became the highest among the one-star pharmacists in the Pharmacist Pavilion.

Generally, a one-star pharmacist would be exhausted if he could successfully refine two to three Primordial Divine Pills a day. The higher the success rate of alchemy, the less raw materials wasted.

Ming Yuan refined five first-grade primordial pills in one day, and this efficiency was enough to shock and envy all the pharmacists.

So Ming Yuan was very proud of himself in Yaoshi Pavilion, and even walked with a lot of pride.

In an inner hall of the Pharmacist's Pavilion, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting behind a large table, and several people standing in front of him were reporting today's work to him.

This old man is Jiang Tao, one of the many supervisors in the Pharmacist Pavilion, and there are seven one-star pharmacists under him, and Ming Yuan is one of them.

Seeing the brochure handed over from below, Jiang Tao's wrinkled old face flashed a little surprised, and said: "How did Mingyuan refine so many first-grade original god pills today?"

"I don't know. According to him, he has made a breakthrough in alchemy, so the success rate of alchemy is so high." One of them replied respectfully.

"Has he found the burning boy?" Jiang Tao asked. Mingyuan hadn't produced any pills for five or six days in a row because he couldn't find the burning boy, and the failure rate of refining pills was extremely high, which almost made him die. Yaoshi Pavilion lost money, and he was considering whether to fire Ming Yuan, but he didn't expect things to turn around suddenly, and Ming Yuan made him look a little different.

"Yes, a new one."

Jiang Tao nodded slightly, and said: "Maybe this fire-burning boy is more compatible with Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan has a hot temper, and it may not be very comfortable to work under him. Give that fire-burning boy more money, five shadow gold."

"Yes!" The people below nodded, showing a bit of envy. They can only get three shadow money every day, and a fire boy gets more money than them every day, but the supervisor Having said that, how dare they talk nonsense?

Satisfied, Ming Yuan returned to his alchemy room, glanced at Ye Chen and said, "That's all for today's work, you can go back, remember to come here on time tomorrow."

Ye Chen didn't respond, turned around and left the alchemy room.

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't show any respect to him, Ming Yuan snorted softly, but didn't say much. Firstly, Ye Chen's work was satisfactory to him, and secondly, he was in a good mood today, so he didn't care about Ye Chen. Humming a ditty, he turned and left.

Ye Chen walked to the room at the end of the Yaoshi Pavilion, which was the accounting room of the Yaoshi Pavilion.

A few old men were doing calculations there.

Ye Chen reported his name.

"You can get five shadow gold coins today." One of the old men looked down at the account book and said to Ye Chen.

"Five shadow gold coins, how come there are so many?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously. It wasn't that Ye Chen cared too much about the five shadow gold coins, but that he was a little surprised that he received more money than expected.

"Director Jiang Tao said it. If you have any questions, please ask Director Jiang Tao."

Ye Chen thought about it, maybe he did a better job today, so he paid out more. Five shadow gold is really too much for ordinary people, but Ye Chen didn't take it seriously at all. He came here The main purpose is not to earn the five shadow gold, but to learn the art of alchemy.

But since he had money to send, Ye Chen still wanted to take it. After taking five shadow golds, Ye Chen casually put them into the armguard space, turned and left.

Not far from Ye Chen, an old man stood tall, it was the supervisor named Jiang Tao, who happened to pass by here, saw Ye Chen receiving the money, and looked at Ye Chen's back thoughtfully. Ordinary people can only earn one or two shadow gold coins per day, but Ye Chen suddenly got a windfall, and he didn't even feel a little bit excited.

He had already found out Ye Chen's origin. Ye Chen was the one who was rumored to be from Dongchuan Continent with a degree of star-soul fusion of 0.

"As soon as he came, Ming Yuan's alchemy success rate increased to such a level, this young man is very interesting." Jiang Tao pondered for a moment, secretly thought.

After Ye Chen left the Pharmacist's Pavilion, he took out a piece of paper, on which were written the names of more than 60 kinds of exotic flowers and fruits, all of which were the raw materials for refining a first-grade elixir of origin. Ye Chen is going to find all these raw materials and refine an original pill by himself.

Ye Chen entered a pharmacy.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any of these five herbs?" Ye Chen asked, ready to search for them all.

"There are three of them."

"Well, three dollars each."

Ye Chen visited more than ten pharmacies in Yanyun Holy City, collected a total of 40 kinds of raw materials, and spent 50,000 to 60,000 shadow gold coins, but there are still more than 20 kinds of raw materials left. No more, I asked all over and there was no.

Ye Chen had no choice but to return to his residence.

Seeing Gu Lan and Lin Wan were there, Ye Chen handed over a piece of paper and asked, "Brother Gu Lan, do you know where I can find these herbs?"

Gu Lan glanced at the prescription that Ye Chen handed over, her expression froze slightly, she looked up at Ye Chen and said, "What are you looking for these medicinal materials for? These medicinal materials are very expensive, and they are prohibited from being traded."

"Prohibition of trading? Why?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"These medicinal materials are the raw materials for making a first-grade original elixir. They are regulated, and ordinary people can't buy them at all. If you want to buy these raw materials, you must at least be a copper lord."

"Nobility?" Ye Chen was a little puzzled.

"Yes, in our Tianyuan Continent, the Taoist Court will award different titles according to the contribution of individuals to the Tianyuan Continent." Seeing that Ye Chen didn't know, Gu Lan explained it to him in detail.

It turns out that the titles are divided into five levels: Bronze Honor, Silver Honor, Gold Honor, Purple Gold Lord, and Red Gold Lord. There are two ways to improve the title. One is to go to Tianyuan Ancient City to make military exploits, and the other is to contribute a certain amount of money Give it to the gods, and the gods will give you a knighthood. Moreover, the power of the God Dynasty is also limited, and can only confer the titles of Bronze, Silver and Gold. Among them, the Zijin Lord and Chijin Lord can only be conferred by the Taoist Court.

It is very difficult to obtain a knighthood. It is only possible to contribute at least 20 million shadow gold coins for the lowest bronze knighthood, let alone higher-level knighthoods.

In the entire Yanyun Holy City, there are only a few people who have won the title of Bronze Lord, and the only one who has won the Silver Lordship is the Lord Qi Yan.
