Chapter 84: Alchemy
Lu Yu and his party of four returned to the warehouse of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce in Yuanjiang Market.
After Lu Yu used the power of Red Lotus to thoroughly clean up Yu Wanli's accumulated injuries, his mental state improved a lot.
"When I first met you, I felt that you were definitely not an ordinary person. I didn't expect that after such a short time, this thought has come true!"
"I was able to escape this time, thanks to you for your help. I thank you for your kindness!"
Yu Wanli was excited and suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Yu.
"Thank you, benefactor!" Yu Rongzhou also knelt down.
"Please stand up quickly, both of you."
Lu Yu waved his hand lightly, and a stream of energy swept out, and immediately lifted the two of them up gently.
"President Yu, although we have known each other for a short time, we have a deep friendship. President Yu has helped me a lot in the past. What I did today is what I should do. You two don't have to be so polite!"
After a pause, Lu Yu said, "I wonder what President Yu plans to do next?"
Yu Wanli lowered his head and sighed.
"Our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce has been competing with the Jingnan Chamber of Commerce for many years. This incident can be said to have hit us in the vitals."
"But fortunately, our distribution network and procurement channels are still there, and the foundation of the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce is still there. For now, we can only stand firm first and then work slowly."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder how many pills Cuizhu Peak provided to the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce every month in the past?"
Yu Wanli was startled, raised his head, and looked at Lu Yu in surprise.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "To be honest with President Yu, I have recently learned the art of alchemy. My Senior Brother Fang is also an expert in alchemy. We came to Yuanjiang Market today to sell pills."
"Alchemy is not a difficult task for us, but purchasing materials is too complicated and time-consuming. If we can cooperate with President Yu, it will be a win-win situation."
Yu Wanli's body was shocked, and excitement surged on his face.
He never thought that Lu Yu, who used to need him to provide him with pills, could not only make pills by himself, but also supply him in return.
"If that's the case, it's great! If this can be accomplished, then you will be the great benefactor of our entire Wanhe Chamber of Commerce!"
"However, the number of pills required by our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce is not low. In the past, Cuizhu Peak provided us with 200,000 basic pills every month. Pills above the basic level will be provided depending on the situation, so they can be temporarily excluded..."
"I don't know if you can provide us with so many. If not, you can reduce it. The key is to let us stabilize our position first."
Lu Yu turned his head to look at Fang Qian and asked, "Brother Fang, can we take on this number at Yudie?"
Fang Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"We have few people at Yudie Peak, and there are not many disciples who refine pills. If we gather the strength of all the disciples, we can only reach one-tenth of this number in a month!"
One-tenth, that's too little...
But think about it, Cuizhu Peak has a scale of several thousand people after all, and Yudie Peak has only more than 200 people. In this comparison, it is actually very good.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and asked, "If I have high-level elixirs, can I exchange them for basic elixirs?"
Yu Wanli said, "You are joking, sir. High-level elixirs are extremely difficult to obtain. All the peaks are eager to get them, but basic elixirs can be refined by ordinary disciples. If someone is willing to exchange high-level elixirs for basic elixirs, all the peaks will be eager to get them!"
Lu Yu couldn't help laughing.
"In this case, this business of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce will be taken over by our Yudie Peak!"
"It may be difficult to reach a sufficient supply in the first few months, but I will give you high-level elixirs and let you exchange them for low-level elixirs to ensure that the supply chain of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce will not be broken first."
"In the future, the material channels of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce will be exclusively supplied to our Yudie Peak. I will send someone to inform you later about what is needed."
Lu Yu took out the Qiankun bag again, reached out and took out all the elixirs he had won from Zhang Biao before, and arranged them one by one.
"These are all seventh- and eighth-grade pills. How many of them can be exchanged for enough basic pills for a month's supply?"
Yu Wanli and his son stared at the pills in Lu Yu's hand at the same time, staring at them, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
They had never seen so many high-level pills appear at the same time in their lives, and they appeared in one person's hand.
"One... one is enough!"
Yu Wanli said with trembling lips.
Lu Yu picked one out and handed it to Yu Wanli.
After thinking about it, he was a little worried, so he took out two golden talismans from the Qiankun bag and handed them to him. These two golden talismans were asked from Yang Chudie when he went to the Jianquan of Tianquan Peak to scout the site.
"If anyone covets this thing, you can use these two golden talismans to deal with him." Lu Yu explained.
Yu Wanli took the golden talisman, his body trembled, and suddenly knelt down again.
"My lord, you have such great trust in me. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you in the future, without hesitation!"
"Please rest assured, as long as I am alive, the elixir is there. Even if I lose my life, I will definitely ensure the safety of the elixir!"
Lu Yu helped him up again and said, "President Yu, you are too polite. But if you are really in danger, I hope you can prioritize your own safety. If the elixir is gone, you can make it again. If you are gone, then who should I find to cooperate with me?"
The few of them continued to discuss some details of the cooperation.
It was getting dark, and the crowds of Yuanjiang Market outside the warehouse had gradually dissipated.
Lu Yu and Fang Qian stood up and said goodbye, left Yuanjiang Market, and set off on their return journey.
On the shuttle boat returning to Qinghe Ferry, the breeze blew and the waves stopped the flying boat.
Fang Qian couldn't help asking, "Brother Lu, why are you so persistent in promoting the cooperation between Wanhe Chamber of Commerce and Yudie Peak?"
Lu Yu asked with a smile, "Why, isn't this a good thing?"
Fang Qian replied, "This is indeed a good thing. Yudie Peak has been weak for many years. If this thing is accomplished, it will indeed greatly improve the overall strength of Yudie Peak..."
"But, our Yudie Peak is too weak. How can we succeed in this matter? How sure are we to do this? Brother Lu can't always use high-level elixirs as subsidies, right?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I have a plan for this matter, which can be started from two aspects."
"On the one hand, it is to train our Yudie Peak disciples to make elixirs. After returning this time, I will go to Uncle Yang to advise that Yudie Peak will make elixir making the first industry in the future. For the time being, Brother Fang will take charge and teach our Yudie Peak disciples the art of alchemy."
"On the other hand, it is to poach people, and poach disciples who are good at alchemy from other peaks to our Yudie Peak."
"Poach people?"
Fang Qian couldn't help but be confused.
As a disciple who is proficient in alchemy, he knows the thoughts of these alchemy disciples.
In fact, every disciple who is proficient in alchemy is very proud.
Can the small temple of Yudie Peak accommodate these masters who are proficient in alchemy?
Lu Yu took out the black pill from the Qiankun bag and held it in his hand.
"This pill is called Wuhua Lianxin Pill. It is a brand-new healing pill that has never been seen in the world. You have also seen the process of my refining it. The materials it needs are not very precious, but its effectiveness has been verified during the pill battle."
"If I promise the method of refining this pill as a condition, do you think there will be disciples willing to change their sects and join our Yudie Peak?"
Fang Qian's heart was pounding.
He knew the answer to this question very well.
This is more than yes? This is simply too much!
I am afraid that the entire Dali Sword Sect will hear the news and move, and the gate of Yudie Peak will be crowded with people!
But Fang Qian soon thought of a very critical question, and immediately calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
"But what if someone left immediately after learning it? Or did other peaks send spies specifically for this method?"
Lu Yu smiled lightly, and his eyes revealed an indescribable mystery.
"Who told you that I only have this Wuhua Lianxin Pill?"
Fang Qian's body shook violently, and he looked stunned.
Through the smile on Lu Yu's face, he seemed to see the future of Yudie Peak, which would be a holy place for alchemy comparable to Baoding Peak!
His heart was suddenly hot.
