Chapter 328
Pease Harbor Magic Materials Wholesale Market.
There are all kinds of magic materials here, both expensive and cheap.
Cheng Yu walked into a magic materials store and asked the clerk, "Friend, do you have the three magic materials of Purple Fire Leaf, God Blood Flower, and Ghost Grass?"
"Yes, how many do you want?"
The clerk smiled and answered. The prices of the three magic materials were not cheap, and this might be a big deal.
"One hundred and seventy purple fire leaves, three hundred God Blood Flowers, and three hundred and ten ghost grasses."
The magic materials Cheng Yu bought were just enough to prepare ten alchemy potions.
"This... so much?"
The clerk was surprised.
"Is it enough?"
Cheng Yu thought the store didn't have enough stock.
"Enough, enough, absolutely enough."
The clerk was very happy and entered the warehouse as quickly as possible to get the three magic materials for Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu leaned against the counter and waited.
Twenty minutes later, the clerk counted the three kinds of magic materials, put them in several large bags, and carried the large bags to the store outside, "Sir, the purple fire leaf is two gold coins per piece, the ghost grass is six gold coins per plant, and the God Blood Flower is twenty gold coins per plant."
Silver Phoenix asked, "Wait, isn't the God Blood Flower ten gold coins per plant?"
I bought the God Blood Flower last time I came to Pease Harbor, and Silver Phoenix remembered the price of the God Blood Flower.
"Sorry, the price of the God Blood Flower has increased recently." The clerk apologized.
"Increase so much?" Silver Phoenix was a little skeptical.
From ten gold coins per plant to twenty gold coins per plant, the increase is as high as 100%.
The clerk was humble, "Miss, you can go to other stores to ask, all stores sell the God Blood Flower for twenty gold coins per plant."
"Twenty gold coins is twenty gold coins."
Cheng Yu said straightforwardly, without doubting the clerk's words.
The merchants in the magic material wholesale market are in a competitive relationship. If one sells it at a higher price, it will definitely not be sold.
"A total of 8,200 gold coins." said the clerk.
Cheng Yu paid the clerk 8,200 gold coins and put several large bags of magic materials into the system warehouse.
The three walked out of the magic material store.
"Damn it~ The price of the God Blood Flower has increased so much."
Xilufanni raised her eyebrows and stamped her feet in anger.
Originally, 5,200 gold coins could have bought this batch of magic herbs, but now it cost 8,200 gold coins.
The three returned to Bailu Island, and Xilufanni began to pre-process the magic materials.
Alchemy and cooking have similarities. Cooking requires pre-processing of ingredients first, such as blanching, using cooking wine to remove fishy smells, etc.; alchemy also requires pre-processing of alchemy materials, such as using extracts to extract fat-soluble substances in plants and using alkaline neutralizers to remove natural oxalic acid in magic materials.
Cheng Yu did not understand alchemy, but felt that alchemy and chemistry had something in common.
Sitting in front of the stone table, one hand supported his head, and the other hand extended an index finger, gathering magic power on the fingertips, and the magic power formed a small magic circle pattern on the fingertips.
"Master Cheng Yu, what kind of magic is this?"
Ivennie next to him saw the magic circle pattern on Cheng Yu's fingertips and saw at a glance that this was not plant magic, nor was it common basic magic.
"Insect magic."
After Cheng Yu defeated the insect magician Gene, he took Gene's space storage bag and got a lot of insect magic from the space storage bag.
Insect magic is basically summoning magic, summoning various insects to fight for themselves.
Cheng Yu was free, so he learned the blasting firefly magic.
When he fought with Gene before, he saw Gene use this magic, which was quite powerful.
With his extremely high magic talent, Cheng Yu found the way to the blasting firefly magic in just a few days.
"Exploding Firefly!"
Cheng Yu pointed his index finger at the sky, and a translucent red firefly was summoned from the magic circle. Its wings fluttered at a high frequency, and it flew at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult to catch its trajectory.
Cheng Yu used his mind to control the red firefly, which flew around him.
His eyes locked onto a passing bird in the sky, and the Exploding Firefly rushed towards the bird, attached itself to it, and exploded with a bang, creating a huge fireball in the air.
The Exploding Firefly can track the enemy, and the power of a single explosion is average.
However, it can be summoned in large numbers, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Cheng Yu is a beginner, not particularly skilled, and his magic power is limited, so the number of Exploding Fireflies he summoned is not large.
"Hehe, it's quite fun."
Although Cheng Yu has great power, he is more impressive when using magic attacks.
"Master Cheng Yu, I think it's not good for you to learn too many kinds of magic." Ivennie persuaded Cheng Yu.
Under normal circumstances, magicians will specialize in a series of magic. Some magicians specialize in fire magic, some specialize in lightning magic, and some specialize in healing magic.
Because the underlying logic of the same series of magicThere are common points between the two series. If you specialize in a series of magic, you will learn it more efficiently and release more powerful magic.
Ivennie specializes in plant magic. As long as it is plant magic, she can master it in a very short time.
"It's okay, I'll just play with it."
Cheng Yu has learned freezing magic, fire control magic, fly slapping magic, vine magic, and insect magic. He mainly pursues style. He does not pursue lethality.
"Okay."
Ivennie also knows that Cheng Yu's strongest combat power does not come from magic.
Cheng Yu learns insect magic, and time passes by.
"It's done!"
More than three hours later, Silufenni has processed the magic materials and can start preparing alchemical potions.
Cheng Yu, Melinda, and Ivennie came to Silufenni. On the table in front of Silufenni, there are a lot of bottles and jars filled with colorful potions.
Bubbles are coming out of the alchemical furnace next to the table.
Silufannie picked up the bottles and jars and added potions to the alchemy furnace.
A strange smell filled the air.
These alchemy materials cost more than 8,000 gold coins and were very valuable. Cheng Yu and the other two watched Silufannie prepare the alchemy potion nervously, and their hearts were hanging.
These quantities can be used to prepare a total of ten blood strengthening potions, even if only one is successful.
The first time, failed.
The second time, failed.
The third time, failed.
The fourth time, failed.
…
The tenth time, failed.
All ten alchemy attempts failed.
Eight thousand two hundred gold coins were wasted, and Cheng Yu's hanging heart finally died.
"Sorry, master, I'm just a beginner, this alchemy potion is a bit complicated."
Silufannie accidentally burned more than 8,000 gold coins of Cheng Yu, and apologized to Cheng Yu like a child who had made a mistake.
"It's okay."
Cheng Yu's smile revealed his poverty. No matter how rich he was, he couldn't afford to play like this.
However, this also shows that alchemy is indeed a technical job.
Just like in the movie "Breaking Bad", with the same ice-making method, the ice made by professional chemists is purer and more addictive than the ice made by amateur gangsters.
