Chapter 662 Times have changed
Not long after Wei Yuan returned to Qingming, a fairy boat from Taichu Miyamoto Mountain arrived.
The fairy boat is loaded with tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials and dozens of herb seedlings. Although they are not precious varieties, these auxiliary materials are needed in many basic cast elixirs. In addition, a few hundred kilograms of main medicine is just enough to refine 30,000 Peiyuan Pills.
Zhidan Sanren naturally saw Wei Yuan’s thoughts, so he gave all the medicinal herbs and seedlings, and the number was huge.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, Wei Yuan was overjoyed and immediately found the old Taoist Chuhe and Xu Henshui. While receiving the medicinal materials, he discussed Qingming's future alchemy cause.
It’s okay to talk about medicinal materials, but the biggest business of Jianmu Palace is actually growing medicine.
Most of the medicine gardens in Taichu Palace are in the hands of Jianmu Hall. The monks in Taichu Palace can only take medicine from the Confucian Temple, and if they want to sell medicine, they can only buy medicinal materials from the Confucian Temple.
Therefore, over the repeated tug-of-war of thousands of years, the price difference between elixirs and medicinal materials has formed a balance. The view of fortune eats big bones, and the Jianmu Palace eats smaller bones.
These ordinary medicinal materials used for casting naturally have little environmental requirements and can basically be planted in a piece of spiritual fields. After taking a look at the old Taoist Chuhe, Qingming can now open 5,000 acres of spiritual fields.
Under Qingming's power of Jianmu Shengxuan, ordinary spiritual fields can also have an outside growth rate of eight times. These medicinal materials can mature in just one year.
Now the Human Fireworks have completed the optimization of Peiyuan Dan Pill Recipe, as well as the redesign of the refining process and the planning of the pharmacy.
It is initially estimated that after all the 5,000 acres of medicinal fields are fully planted, the addition of new medicinal materials in the next year can produce 600,000 Qingming version of Peiyuan Dan, which is enough for 50,000 muscular realm casting cultivators in one year.
The medicinal materials sent by Taichu Palace are enough to refine 300,000 Qingming version of the Yuan Pei Pill.
The effect of the Qingming version of Peiyuan Pill is only one-tenth of the original version, and even Wei Yuan was embarrassed to call it Peiyuan Pill. Xu Henshui suggested calling it Xiao Peiyuan Pill, but Wei Yuan still felt a little disgusted with his conscience. Finally, he imitated the style of Daoji Feijian and changed it to Peiyuan Pill.
This is the internal name of Qingming, and it is still collectively called Peiyuan Dan to the outside world.
Wei Yuan is planning to build a medicine shop, which will specialize in the sale of Qingming elixirs in the future.
Everyone discussed the name of this medicine shop for a long time, and finally the old Taoist Chuhe said, "In my opinion, it's better to call it Yiwen Medicine Shopping."
"What is this? Will you only sell one patterned spirit pill in the future?" Xu Henshui was a little surprised. He did not dare to have such a big tone in the Confucianism.
"Of course not. We sell all kinds of elixirs. Haha, you don't know. It's a habit that the name of the medicine shop and elixirs are connected together, such as Jishixing Angong Pills. When others mention our elixirs, they are talking about Yishi Peiyuan Pills!"
Xu Henshui was shocked: "This, isn't this a lie?"
"How can you cheat? We really call it Yiwen Medicine! The name is just a gimmick. Let's go to the crowd first." Old Taoist Chuhe explained with a smile.
Wei Yuan also thought it made sense. As long as a person comes, he doesn't want to run away. He immediately said, "This name is good! That's it."
Wei Yuan was thunderous and decisive, and everyone began to implement it as soon as they dispersed. The first elixir of Yiwen Medicine Store was built not far from Xu Henshui's Dan Temple. This place is full of spiritual energy, and Xu Henshui can come to guide him from time to time in the future.
The Danfang is quite large, covering an area of dozens of acres. After drawing the boundary, Yu Zhizhuo arrived with thousands of Daoji monks, working hard and built four alchemy halls that were fifty-foot long and five-foot high in one go.
Then hundreds of monks brought thousands of cast-in-body transporters to transport countless strange equipment, and Yu Zhizhuo personally supervised the placement of these equipment.
At first, only Xu Henshui watched it alone, but then the alchemists from his alchemy temple discovered that they had transported in alchemy equipment, not to mention that they had seen it, they had never even heard of it. Moreover, these equipment are just as complicated as it is, and they can't understand it at all. Where do you need these things to refine alchemy?
The alchemists were all curious. After finishing their routine alchemy every day, they came to the construction site here to watch the fun.
Xu Henshui just looked quietly, often standing for several hours, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Thousands of Daoji worked together, and the construction of the Danfang was naturally progressing rapidly. In just half a month, a brand new Danfang had already been lifted up.
After the frame of the Danfang was built, and seeing the four long and huge Dan Halls and the square medicinal herb making hall in front, Xu Henshui always felt that his Dan looked like a small farmyard.
These elixir halls have a rigid appearance without any interest, but they are better than big and long enough, which is not comparable to those of Xu Henshui's two-story buildings.
More than ten days later, all the equipment was installed and tested for another three days, and all of them were running correctly. So Wei Yuan arrived and started the furnace to refine the alchemy.
As usual, Wei Yuan had to say a few words before opening the furnace. So thousands of monks sat in a row below and listened quietly to the main speaker of the world.
Facing so many high-level audiences, Wei Yuan was also very energetic and threw the speeches written by the fireworks in the world aside, improvised, starting from the ordinary farmyard where he was born, and talking all the way to how he endured hunger and how he was bullied when he was a child. It was finally difficult to seize the first-line opportunity and enter the Taichu Palace.
Now in Qingming, as long as you work hard, no matter your background, everyone will have the opportunity to make a name for themselves!
Wei Yuan was so moved that he almost told him that "dare to call the sun and the moon to change the new sky." Fortunately, he stopped the cliff.
When he finished speaking, someone in the audience shouted: It’s time to eat!
So with a huh, thousands of monks disappeared in place.
Wei Yuan on the stage was a little messy, and he had not said the "last two sentences".
Yu Zhizhuo said apologetically: "Mr. I'm sorry! The project progress exceeded expectations and the quality is good, so I'll give you some extra meals. Today's food is a bit good."
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go and work hard."
At this time, the medicinal materials hall had started construction in advance and was busy. Hundreds of cast monks were scattered in hundreds of work areas and were processing medicinal materials. A sign stood next to each work area, which stated which medicinal materials to be processed in this work area and what are the steps.
There are no more than three steps in most work areas, most of which have only one step, cut into slices, or soak in wine and dry them. The cast monks work mechanically like puppets, and they don’t need to do anything else here, let alone think about it.
Xu Henshui was standing in an alchemy hall, watching quietly.
The hall does not look like a elixir room, and the elixir furnace is even more strange. It is no longer an elegant and ancient round or square, but a long one, and there are many grids inside, which looks like a trough of a cow and a horse.
Xu Henshui didn't know why she had this idea.
At this time, many Daoji monks walked into the Danfang. They all looked expressionless and turned a blind eye to Xu Henshui. Xu Henshui knew that these were Wei Yuan’s Daoji warriors, and he didn’t speak at the moment, so he watched quietly.
Then a bell rang and the alchemy began.
Several monks came in with pre-treated medicinal materials. The medicinal materials have been distributed and put in small boxes. Each box can be poured into a grid of the alchemy furnace.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of grids were filled with medicinal materials. Dozens of Daoji warriors next to the alchemy furnace began to ignite the fire, melting the medicinal materials with Dao Fire, and each Daoji was responsible for a grid. There were ten other Daoji, who had different Daoji powers in their five elements, so they wandered back and forth, and they would replenish fires to which grid was unbalanced.
The five Daoji warriors patrolled back and forth, inspecting the furnace temperature and elixir fire of the entire furnace every half of the incense stick, and making up for it on the spot if there is an imbalance.
Wei Yuan hurried over and glanced into the hall. His spiritual sense looked at the condition of the alchemy liquid in the furnace. He was very satisfied, so he greeted Xu Henshui and left again.
The refining of Peiyuan Pill is not complicated at all, it takes about half a day. Wei Yuan's alchemy method takes longer, and it only takes one day.
Xu Henshui watched quietly all day.
Finally, the furnace of elixir was in full swing. Xu Henshui was about to remind him to collect the elixir when he saw ten monks hurried in, and then the elixir furnace was turned on, and countless elixirs were floating in the air and collected by the monks. The whole process was very silky.
Xu Henshui reached out to take a few Peiyuan Xiaodans and took a closer look. The three elixirs were full, the elixirs were even, and the medicinal properties were soft. The most rare thing was that the three were almost exactly the same, and it was difficult for Xu Henshui to distinguish the differences.
There are dozens of elixirs produced in each grid. This hall has produced more than 800 small elixirs produced in one furnace. The other three halls should be similar. Xu Henshui even wondered if the number of elixirs produced in each hall is exactly the same.
After all, this medicine shop alone has more than 3,000 small peanuts per day, and 100,000 pills per month, which can be used by 100,000 people in practice. The medicinal materials sent by Taichu Palace this time are not enough for this elixir shop to use for four months.
But Xu Henshui knew that when did Peiyuan Dan usually need so much? These medicinal materials have basically cleaned up the medicine warehouse of Taichu Palace.
At this time, the monks began to clean the alchemy furnace, transported the waste residue and put it in a new furnace of medicinal materials. They were extremely skilled in mechanical movements, and they did not need to rest or pay for immortal silver, and they never made mistakes.
Looking at the orderly hall, Xu Henshui suddenly felt that the hall was coming towards him and then smashed himself to pieces.
So he knew that times have really changed.
