Chapter 31 Alchemist Society
"…"
"In short, that's how things are. Xu Family Pill Shop is finished. These are the contracts you signed. I've also retrieved the copy that was kept in the Hall of Law Enforcement for you."
Nine pieces of waste paper were slapped onto the table by Wang Yu. Zhou Tao hesitated, wanting to speak, but what Wang Yu said was a bit too outrageous.
Just like that, just like that, the Pill Shop was sealed up?
Steward Xu is a Foundation Establishment Expert, didn't he have any reaction at all???
Luo Pinghu frowned and couldn't help but speak.
"Wang Yu, you make it sound easy. What about the details? And how did you get these contracts back?"
"I naturally have my own channels, you don't need to worry about it."
"You——"
Zhou Tao suddenly reached out to stop Luo Pinghu, and imperceptibly nodded his mouth. Only then did they realize that in just one night, the aura emanating from Wang Yu had already reached Qi Condensation Fourth Level.
Breakthrough?
But so what? Luo Pinghu didn't understand, nor did he intend to listen to Zhou Tao's instructions anymore. The reason the three of them had banded together before was to have Zhou Tao lead the conversation with the Pill Shop, which would be more convenient and give them more say.
Last night's gathering was an intent of cooperation. Wang Yu was also invited at the time, but he refused. Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Luo Pinghu spoke to take his leave.
"In that case, thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang, for retrieving the contract for me. Farewell."
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Wang Yu spoke again.
"Everyone has been in Cultivation at the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect until now, can you feel the difficulty of Cultivation?
"Without Resources, Cultivation Level progresses slowly, there is almost no possibility of Foundation Establishment, without Backing it is also difficult to move an inch, and you don't even have the Qualification for normal conversation."
"Pill Master Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Zhou Tao asked, and Wang Yu also answered with a smile.
"Opportunities are rare. It's not easy to gather the four of us Pill Refiners without any backing. Why not establish an Alchemist Society to sell Elixir Pills together and cooperate with those Official Elixir Shops."
"Heh——"
Luo Pinghu's tone contained both mockery of Wang Yu and helplessness towards his own situation. "It's easy to say, do you have Resources? Do you have Backing? Three stinky Pill Refiners, plus you, a one-armed hero, what do you rely on to cooperate with Pill Shops? You can't even meet a Foundation Establishment Steward."
His words were biased. Wang Yu, Luo Pinghu, and Huang Kai were indeed at the Lower Level, but Zhou Tao was different. Even if he had no Backing.
Qi Condensation Eighth Layer plus the Skill of a First Tier High-Grade Alchemist was enough for him to take a position in any Elixir Shop, but he came to Xu Family Pill Shop, which shows that he also had troubles.
Either he had offended someone, or he was squeezed out of his original Shop by colleagues, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this newly opened Shop. Inviting them to a Gathering yesterday showed that he was a person with Intentions.
Facing Luo Pinghu's sharp sarcasm, Wang Yu didn't care at all. He was just an Ordinary Cultivator who had been severely oppressed. Being able to learn Pill Refining Art must have taken a huge amount of effort.
Now that he had finally found a lucrative Job, it suddenly disappeared, so his Emotion was naturally not right. A slight prick and he would explode.
Zhou Tao was thoughtful, Luo Pinghu was Emotional, but Huang Kai, who had been silent all along, was valued by Wang Yu. His Personality was like the tenacious and unyielding type.
His Temperament was also very calm. Although he had not expressed his position, he had no intention of getting up and leaving.
The three had their own characteristics, and Wang Yu felt more confident in cooperating with them.
Silence for a moment.
Zhou Tao was the first to speak, "Tell me about your Confidence and Plan. If it's reasonable, I can join."
Wang Yu looked at Huang Kai when he heard this. This taciturn person also spoke, "My thoughts are similar to Brother Zhou's."
"What about you, Luo Pinghu, do you want to listen?"
This guy didn't speak, but he didn't leave either. With the three of them in this attitude, Wang Yu had even greater certainty in his heart. He reached into his Storage Bag and took out the Law Enforcement Token he had just obtained last night.
"Look, this is Wang's Confidence."
Hall of Law Enforcement, a place that countless Commoners in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect had dreamed of for a long time. Being able to join it meant that in the future there would be a chance to become the Sect's core, and one foot had stepped into the Elite Circle.
Wang Yu's origins were similar to theirs, and he was still one-armed. The three of them naturally wouldn't think that he had an extraordinary background. Yesterday he was still a hired Alchemist, but today he was completely different.
For people like them, there was only one way to become a Hall of Law Enforcement Cultivator – to be appreciated by a big shot!
Zhou Tao pondered in his heart, feeling that the sealing up of Xu Family Pill Shop was inseparable from Wang Yu. This was an Intuition, and he immediately made up his mind.
"I'll join."
"I'll join too."
"Brother Pinghu?"
"I…can I?"
"Of course." Wang Yu stepped forward and patted Luo Pinghu on the shoulder with a smile, comforting him, "It's okay, we are friends. Just a few words, no one takes it to heart."
Luo Pinghu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that the last friend who was patted on the shoulder by Wang Yu had his Corpse refined.
"Since you have agreed, then let me talk about the significance of this Alchemist Society and the convenience you can enjoy.
"In general, I will use my Status to supply the Elixir Pills refined by you Fellow Brothers to any Shop in the Reverse Blood Ten Wards."
Don't underestimate the significance of this operation.
Reverse Blood Ten Wards is a Sect internal industry, which is both a platform for cultivating disciples and a tool for collecting Spirit Stones. The business here is monopolized.
Any Elixir Shop in Reverse Blood Ten Wards that wants to have operating rights must have the Approval of the Pill Refining Hall. The relationships are Intricate, with various Network Competition. Shopfront Difficult, Qualification Difficult, and Channel Difficult!
The model of setting up a cloth stall on the roadside, setting up and leaving at will, is prohibited.
Even if neighbors know that you are an Alchemist and come to you to buy Elixir Pills, Private Selling is not allowed, Sect Rules prohibit it.
Therefore, selling Qualification is very important. Wang Yu gradually understood this matter after contacting the Pill Refining circle. He also had to thank the half year in the Herb Garden.
The second is the source of Spirit Herbs. Like Administrator Dantai's Herb Garden, she used the relationship of Cold Blood Peak to take it down, and can only trade Mature Spirit Herbs to the Pill Shops Subordinate to Cold Blood Peak.
Only a small portion of Spirit Herbs are traded between disciples.
Most of those with purchasing needs are also Pill Refiners. After they succeed in Pill Refining and master the most basic Pill Refining Art, they then enter various Pill Shops for Employment and become qualified Wage Earners.
If you want to have your own industry, you must at least reach the Foundation Establishment Stage to have Maneuvering Space.
Moreover, if you go to a proper Shop to Bulk Purchase Spirit Herbs, the price is too high and Unprofitable, and you also need to have your own Spirit Herb Channel.
Therefore, the first condition Wang Yu promised made the three of them very excited.
If you can sell Alchemy Pills yourself to make money, who would still want to be a Wage Earner!
Zhou Tao couldn't help but ask.
"How exactly will it work? What is the selling price? How much Profit can we get?"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet.
"The Spirit Herb purchase Channel and Elixir Pill selling Qualification will be left to me to solve. You only need to concentrate on Pill Refining. I guarantee it will be three times more than what you earned in the past, and only more, not less."
The three of them were naturally quite excited. Regardless of whether Wang Yu could do it or not, joining this Alchemist Society was definitely not a loss.
"Now, your first priority is to go to the Pill Refining Hall to get the Sect-recognized Alchemist Rank Certificate."
