Internet Cafe in a Xianxia World

Chapter 32 The Alchemy Furnace

At this time, in Tiandao Internet Cafe.

After that, Qin Feng and the others quickly finished their lunch.

After lunch, Song Ke'er began to list out the list of medicinal ingredients Qin Feng needed for re-refining pills.

Just as she finished saying the names of the three medicinal ingredients, Song Ke'er stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Feng put down his pen and asked.

Song Ke'er said, "That's all."

"Is that all? Do you only need three types of medicinal ingredients?"

Qin Feng was very confused and asked.

After all, any kind of medicinal pill, even if it were of the lowest grade, would require a motley collection of medicinal ingredients.

Song Ke'er shook her head and said, "Although refining pills requires a lot of medicinal ingredients, these wrongly refined pills already contain a lot of good ingredients. If you refine them again, you would only need three more ingredients. Just to be sure, Brother Feng, please repeat to me what these three medicinal ingredients are."

Qin Feng nodded his head understandingly.

Then, Qin Feng said, "Chinese wolfberry, angelica, and the tip of the Blue Ginseng tea leaves."

From his memories, Qin Feng knew that other than the tip of the Blue Ginseng tea leaves, the other medicinal ingredients were both very common and ordinary. As for the tip of the Blue Ginseng tea leaves, although it was rare, most of Tianyun City's medicine stores still had it.

After listening to Qin Feng's reply, Song Ke'er nodded earnestly.

"There's no need for a large number. Just one ounce for each would be enough."

Immediately, Song Ke'er added, "Also, I need an alchemy furnace. It doesn't need to be that good. I only need one of the lowest grade."

After listening to Song Ke'er's words, Qin Feng tidied up the table, turned around, and left.

Walking on the streets, Qin Feng unconsciously arrived at the medicine store from which he had bought curing medicinal ingredients for Song Jingzhou.

Compared to other medicine stores, this shop whose shopkeeper had been threatened by Chen Liuyun should be easier to make a deal with.

And the final result was just as Qin Feng had expected. The moment Qin Feng entered the shop, the shopkeeper almost fell to the ground. Then, he filled the prescription for Qin Feng with due diligence and charged Qin Feng for exactly the price these ingredients should be.

"Shopkeeper, I also want to buy an alchemy furnace."

Qin Feng put away the medicinal ingredients and said.

"An alchemy furnace?"

Hearing the item Qin Feng mentioned, the shopkeeper was so scared that his legs almost went weak.

Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't be like that Young Master Chen who came here a few days ago. I won't smash your alchemy furnace. I just want to buy an alchemy furnace from your shop."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the shopkeeper felt relieved.

But then, the shopkeeper stood straight and said, "An alchemy furnace is something that only alchemists can use, and the price far exceeds these spirit medicines. You should be clear about this, right?"

"Of course, I know the value of an alchemy furnace."

Qin Feng nodded and said bluntly, "I want the best alchemy furnace in your shop. I won't buy an inferior one."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the shopkeeper even thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Qin Feng, I sincerely advise you this time. It's better not to pretend to be rich. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed in public if I tell you its price." The shopkeeper said.

As he spoke, he glanced around the medicine store.

At this time, there were a few other guests present in the medicine shop.

After listening to the conversation between Qin Feng and the shopkeeper, the guests all looked over.

However, when they saw the unadorned attire that Qin Feng was in, they all revealed a ridiculing expression in their eyes.

Qin Feng turned a blind eye to this, and his expression did not change as he reached into his pocket.

When he took out his hand, there was already a special silver card in his hand.

This was what he asked from the System on his way here.

It was the first time that he felt the convenience brought by the System, for he got this card so easily.

When the shopkeeper saw Qin Feng place such a card on the counter, he was shocked.

"A silver card! This is..."

Not only the shopkeeper but the surrounding crowd were also shocked.

A medicine shop as such only had a net income of thirty to forty Spirit Stones per year. Excluding the expenses of clothing, accommodation, and transportation, the net profit that could be earned in a year was only about twenty Spirit Stones.

If the shopkeeper should fall ill or have an accident, he wouldn't have much money left.

However, one needed at least a hundred Spirit Stones' assets to own a silver card from Shangyuan Bank.

In the entire Tianyun City, more than sixty percent of the people didn't have a hundred Spirit Stones' assets.

Among them was this shopkeeper.

"An alchemy furnace."

After enjoying these incredulous gazes for a few seconds, Qin Feng called out to the shopkeeper.

His voice caused the shopkeeper to snap back to his senses and look at Qin Feng.

After a moment of hesitation, the shopkeeper rushed behind the hall. A few minutes later, he came out with a sandalwood box.

Inside the box was the alchemy furnace.

"This is the treasure of my store, but you have to think about it carefully. Although you have a silver card, this alchemy furnace is not a small deal."

The shopkeeper said after closing the lid of the wooden box.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Tell me, how much are these in total?"

In fact, Qin Feng knew it clearly. After all, he was in charge of medicine store business for a while.

For a common alchemy furnace, it would cost three to five Spirit Stones to make. At most, an alchemy furnace would be sold for a dozen to twenty Spirit Stones.

As for the value of this alchemy furnace in front of him, Qin Feng guessed that it should be around fifty to sixty Spirit Stones.

Now that Qin Feng had more than eight hundred Spirit Stones, he didn't worry.

The reason why he wanted to buy the best one in this shop was that he wanted to give it to Song Ke'er.

After all, if it had not been for Song Ke'er, Qin Feng would have eaten that poisonous pill ignorantly. Then, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Apart from that, since Song Ke'er was qualified to enter Herbal Cottage, the equipment she used should not be too shabby.

"Two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones."

The shopkeeper said immediately.

Hearing the price, Qin Feng almost bit his tongue.

"Why is there such an expensive item in your shop?"

Qin Feng asked doubtfully.

"This alchemy furnace has been in the store for more than fifty years. It was the work of a Forging Master that my father bought at the auction house when he was on a trip. At that time, it cost my father almost all his savings of more than three hundred Spirit Stones. I am selling it to you for two hundred and fifty Spirit Stone at a loss."

That was what the shopkeeper said back then.

At that time, the crowd all cast mocking looks.

"Look, just now you looked like you owned a lot of money, but now you are dispirited all of a sudden!"

"Well, the nouveau riche is just like that, scum."

Hearing the mockings, however, Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

While hesitating, Qin Feng reached out and opened the lid of the wooden box again.

However, when he carefully inspected it, he could faintly sense a trace of a rhythmic fluctuation of natural Spirit Energy.

Moreover, under the influence of this fluctuation, the natural Spirit Energy of the surrounding environment within half a meter also started to tremble slightly.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng opened the System's menu.

At this time, he found that in the "probe" column, there was a blank to click.

Out of interest, Qin Feng subconsciously clicked on the blank.

Instantly, a map that only Qin Feng could see appeared on top of the alchemy furnace.

"Third-grade alchemy furnace, forged from fourth-grade material 'Thrice Refined Copper'. The Forging Master of it was Qi Zhenyu, from Chu State. Recommended selling price: five hundred and one Spirit Stones."

Looking at the content on the card, Qin Feng's expression immediately became a bit flurried.

But soon after, he coughed lightly.

"I'll take this alchemy furnace."

As he spoke, Qin Feng pushed over the silver card on the counter towards the shopkeeper and closed the wooden box.

The shopkeeper was also stunned, but he did not say anything.

This alchemy furnace had been lying in his shop for more than fifty years. Of course, he would not miss such a good deal.

"Hahaha, two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones! Just to buy a piece of scrap metal that no one wants!"

"What a prodigal boy. He deserves it that his parents discarded him."

Immediately, the surrounding people began to jeer and ridicule Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng acted as if he did not hear it and simply ignored it.

However, when he heard them mention his parents, even though Qin Feng himself did not care, he still felt the change in his mood.

Soon, the shopkeeper happily drew two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones from Qin Feng's card.

When he returned the card to Qin Feng, he thought that he had earned a lot.

Qin Feng put back the card and looked at the wooden box that should be priced at five hundred and one Spirit Stones. He reached out and picked it up.

As he turned back, he left the shop under the mocking of the self-righteous crowd.

Soon, after turning a few corners, Qin Feng brought the medicinal ingredients and the alchemy furnace back to Tiandao Internet Cafe.

He went upstairs and placed the alchemy furnace, the medicinal ingredients, and the two types of medicinal pills in front of Song Ke'er.

After gently touching the alchemy furnace, however, a trace of doubt appeared on Song Ke'er's face.

"Brother Feng, where did this alchemy furnace come from?"

She asked.

Qin Feng replied, "Is there anything wrong with this alchemy furnace?"

Song Ke'er hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "Nothing. I just feel that it should be very expensive."

"No. No, it's not."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "The medicinal ingredients are ready. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Alright."

Song Ke'er nodded and picked up the tip of the Blue Ginseng tea leaves from the table.

With the help of Qin Feng, Song Ke'er pressed her hands on the tip of the alchemy furnace's lid and a streak of blood flowed down from her palm.

For a moment, this bloodstream seemed to have its own consciousness, forming a pattern on the surface of the alchemy furnace.

But when Song Ke'er raised her hand again, there was no wound on it at all.

Blaze!

Soon after, there was a flame in the alchemy furnace.

As the furnace flamed, Song Ke'er's breathing began to change.

Qin Feng had once heard that when alchemists refined pills, they used a special power that was different from Spirit Power. With alchemy furnaces as the medium, they could produce a fire to refine pills.

Seeing it today, Qin Feng felt that it was magical.
