Chapter 825 Guest Alchemist
Qingyang pondered: "What Miss Liu said is also a good idea, but we are used to being free and unorganized and don't like to be restricted by others. What if we become someone else's guest alchemist but cannot complete the tasks assigned by the master?" Doesn’t it mean breaking one’s trust?”
Knowing what Qingyang was worried about, Liu Wei smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang is too worried. Alchemist Keqing is just a guest. How can the master have so many restrictions on the guest? You may be talking about the kind of master you are talking about. The alchemist who has been trained since childhood is set up many restrictions and rules because the master spent too much energy to train him. He is not willing to take advantage of others in vain. As for the guest alchemist recruited from outside, of course both parties can take advantage of it. You can come and go freely as you need. I don’t know what other places are like, at least I don’t have those rules in Wantong Pavilion.”
Qingyang has never been a guest alchemist, and he heard many things from hearsay. Now that he heard the other party's explanation, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He knew that the other party must have something to say, so he asked: "What's good about Miss Liu?" suggestion?"
Seeing that Qingyang seemed to be moving, Liu Wei said: "Isn't that a great suggestion? However, our Wantong Pavilion happens to be interested in recruiting Keqing Alchemist. For a quasi-Alchemy King like Qingyang Taoist Fellow, the conditions are extremely favorable. If Qingyang Taoist is If you are interested, you can listen to our conditions before making a decision.”
"I wonder what the conditions are?" Qingyang asked.
Liu Wei said: "Wantong Pavilion does not give extra remuneration to alchemists who are at the quasi-alchemy king level, but we will provide alchemists with 500 Qi Gathering Pill materials and 30 Yuan Juan Dan materials for free every year. The alchemist needs to pay two hundred Yuan Yang Pills and six Qi Gathering Pills. As long as the annual fixed tasks are completed, I, Wantong Pavilion, will not interfere with anything else. In other words, the materials saved are yours. You have to bear the responsibility for wasting materials.”
To hand over 500 Qi-Gathering Pill materials to get 200 Qi-Gathering Pills, you need to achieve a success rate of 40%, and to hand in 30 Yuan-Gathering Pill materials to get 6 Yuan-Gathering Pills, you need to have a 20% success rate. This is already quite harsh for a Quasi-Alchemy King, and there is no reward.
However, if the market prices of materials and elixirs are taken into account, Wantong Pavilion will suffer a slight loss, which is equivalent to Wantong Pavilion providing materials to help you improve your alchemy skills. If you are confident enough in your alchemy skills, you can use them to hone your alchemy skills. If you know that your alchemy skills are not good, you should not accept this kind of task reluctantly. It is better to be a foundation-building alchemy master honestly.
This condition seems to be tailor-made for Qingyang. His success rate in refining the Qi Gathering Pill is just over 40%, so completing the mission of Wantong Pavilion is not a problem, and his success rate in refining the Yuan Juan Pill is just over 20%. That is to say, after handing in the mission of Wantong Pavilion, there are still one or two Yuan Judan left, which is much better than the loss-making business of doing things behind closed doors. How can it be considered appropriate?
Qingyang was tempted and wanted to agree directly, but when he thought about it, the conditions didn't seem to be challenging. He didn't know what Wantong Pavilion's conditions were for King Dan, so he couldn't help but be curious, so Qingyang asked: "What if? What about being promoted to Alchemy King?"
Liu Wei smiled and said: "Dan King, we will provide 200 Qi-Gathering Pill materials and 200 Yuan-Gathering Pill materials every year. The alchemist needs to pay 60 Yuan-Gathering Pills according to the standards of the Dan King. As for the gathering pills, Qi Dan is the reward we give. In addition, if we have additional needs for alchemy, we will definitely give corresponding rewards, and both parties must be satisfied."
Qingyang quickly estimated in his mind that 200 Ju Yuan Dan materials were used to refine 60 Ju Yuan Dan. According to the market price, Wantong Pavilion would lose hundreds of spirit stones on the surface, but privately the materials were The purchase price will definitely be lower, but there will still be some profit.
As for the two hundred Yuan Ju Dan materials, it is the reward given to the Dan King. It is worth about seven or eight hundred spirit stones. This is a sky-high price for a Foundation Establishment monk. It is not a small price even for a Golden Dan monk. You know, Many foundation-building monks can't earn more than two to three hundred spirit stones after working hard for a year, but as long as the guest alchemist of Wantong Pavilion completes the task, the rest of the time is his own.
You don’t have to spend time collecting materials, and you don’t have to sell elixirs at low prices. What you save is your own, and there is no restriction on personal freedom. After all, the treatment of Wantong Pavilion Keqing Alchemist is still very good, as long as you have real talents. If you are motivated, nothing will be a problem.
As for the additional need for alchemy she mentioned, this is inevitable. As the top alchemist in charge of one side, the Alchemy King will definitely encounter this situation, just like the horizontal demon king refining the demon barrier elixir, but this There is extra remuneration for this kind of work, and the remuneration is usually not low. This kind of thing is discussed by both parties, and is not forced. There is no problem at all.
"I wonder how many Alchemy Kings there are in Wantong Pavilion now?" Qingyang asked.
Liu Wei didn't seem to expect that Qingyang would ask this question. He hesitated for a moment and said: "We, Wantong Pavilion, currently only have one Alchemy King. However, we have been affected by some things recently and have no time to make alchemy for the time being. But I will definitely There are as many as three quasi-Alchemy Kings in Tongge, and they all have very high talents, so they have a great chance of advancing to become true Alchemy Kings.”
This answer was beyond Qingyang's expectations, and he couldn't help but say: "Isn't Wantong Pavilion one of the top forces in Qingyan City? How can he be an Alchemy King? Can't make alchemy yet?"
Hearing Qingyang's words with a hint of contempt, Manager Sun was dissatisfied before Liu Wei could speak, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, do you know how much energy and resources it takes to cultivate a Dan King? In the entire Qingyan Island, the number of Dan Kings will not exceed five. Wantong Pavilion has one Dan King and three Quasi-Dan Kings, which is rare among the top forces."
After Manager Sun said this, Qingyang suddenly realized that not everyone has his talent, and not every alchemist has his favorable conditions. He was able to achieve his current achievements in a short period of time, which was completely the result of various conditions coming together by chance. I am afraid there is no second one in the world. Most of them are struggling at the bottom, bargaining with others for the price of materials, haggling with others for the fractions of pills, and fighting with others for a piece of spirit stone. Either the alchemy delays the breakthrough of cultivation, or the cultivation limits the improvement of alchemy, and finally ends with regret.
No wonder the status of the Pill King is so high among ordinary cultivators. This is also related to the scarcity of the number of Pill Kings. As for those who can leave their names in the Zhongsha Region, such as the Thousand Hand Pill King and the Ghost Hand Pill King, they are even rarer. One may not appear in hundreds of years.
The Pill King is almost the limit of ordinary alchemists. At least in the Jiuzhou Continent or the Zhongsha Region, no one has heard of the existence of a higher Nascent Soul Alchemist.
