This system is so brutal

Chapter 112 not doing business
Seeing the sword suspended in the air, Lu Chen swallowed his saliva, this thing will not have the same nature as the Chixia Sword, it must be sent by Yun Xianxian to monitor him.

Lu Chen tried to communicate with it, so he said: "Big...Brother, I can protect myself, you go back."

The sword was floating in the air, and its body was bouncing up and down, ignoring what he said.

Seeing that he was too soft, Lu Chen immediately got tough. He took out the Qingfeng Sword and said viciously: "If you dare to follow me, I will cut you in two!"

Hearing this, the sword got angry and immediately raised its blade, pointing the sword tip at Lu Chen's head, as if to say: If you have the ability, try it!
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen immediately withdrew the Qingfeng Sword, and then said with a smile: "Brother, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding...don't mess around, just follow if you want."

Having said that, Lu Chen turned around and left.

As he walked, he glanced at the sword beside him with his eyes.

He had to find a way to get rid of the sword. If he kept following him, Yun Xianxian would know what he did.

At this time, Su Yaoyao said: "It's okay to let this Jade Spirit Sword follow, it won't affect you, so don't worry about it."

Hearing Su Yaoyao's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid that my secret will be discovered by the elder sister."

Su Yaoyao said lightly: "I'm afraid your elder sister is not interested in your secrets. She sent a sword to protect you at most just to perfunctory Gongliang Yuxuan."

"However, if you think it's inconvenient to move around like this, you can store it in the space crystal."

Hearing what Su Yaoyao said, Lu Chen came to his senses.

Yes, you can put this sword into the space crystal, so that it can't monitor itself.

Lu Chen stopped, then turned his head and said to Bi Lingjian with a playful smile: "Brother, are you tired from floating around like this, why don't you go into the space crystal to rest for a while?"

"And we are in this world. If you keep floating, you will scare the children and leave a bad impression on people in this world."

"Big sister is so kind and gentle, she definitely doesn't want you to scare people in the world."

"Besides, a peerless sword like yours shouldn't be exposed all the time, so that it loses its sense of mystery. Generally, gods like you appear on the stage at the most critical moment, so as to highlight your mighty strength. You Say it?"

"If I am in danger, I will definitely release you. Don't worry."

After listening to Lu Chen's words, Bi Lingjian felt that it made sense, and then it fell from the air, and the tip of the sword was directly inserted into the mud. It seemed that he agreed to Lu Chen's proposal to put it into the space crystal.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen quickly took out the space crystal and put it in.

After putting it in, Lu Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, this guy has no IQ, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen immediately changed his appearance, and then drove the carriage to a place called Dongyi City in the east.

Dongyi City is a relatively prosperous city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there is an endless stream of businessmen and tourists. On the main road leading to Dongyi City, people coming and going during the day are almost uninterrupted.

The reason why Lu Chen came here is precisely because it is prosperous here, where he can buy a lot of medicinal materials for refining elixir.

And this place is relatively safer. The city owner of this city is not an ordinary person, and demon cultivators generally dare not make trouble in this city.

After Lu Chen arrived outside Dongyi City, he found someone to sell the carriage. He had no feelings for the horse at all.

Although before leaving, the horse showed an aggrieved expression, calling Lu Chen a heartless person, Lu Chen still walked towards the city gate without looking back.

Lu Chen knew that this horse would not be happy if he followed him. He is a man who likes to be alone.

After entering the city, he first found a hotel to stay, and then considered other things.

Pills are not only popular in the world of immortal cultivators, but also in the mortal world.

Ordinary elixirs can keep women youthful and look young and beautiful all the time, while elixirs of a slightly higher grade can help ordinary people live a long life.

Lu Chen was thinking about what kind of elixir would be better to refine. Now on the Tianyu system interface, there are three icons of elixir, and these elixirs are all 2000 crystal coins.

Yangyan Pill and Zengshou Pill, these two kinds of elixirs are the most popular in the world. The refining difficulty of these two kinds of elixirs is not particularly difficult, and ordinary alchemists can refine them, so the competition is still fierce, but The medicinal materials of these two elixirs are not particularly expensive, and the cost is relatively low. He can refine a large amount at the same time.

Compared with the previous two elixirs, the Spirit-Building Pill is not so popular. Cultivation of immortals requires qualifications. The vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people without spiritual roots. Even if they are given the Spirit-Building Pill, they Foundation building is also not possible.

The refining of the Spirit Building Pill requires more medicinal materials, and is more expensive, and the cost is relatively high, but it is precisely because of this that the Spirit Building Pill is sold more expensive.

Lu Chen was a little confused, he didn't know which kind of elixir should be tested first.

He was a loner with no connections and no experience, so he definitely wanted to experiment first.

Lu Chen moved the system interface aside, then looked at Su Yaoyao who was sitting opposite him and said, "Yaoyao, please give me some advice."

When Su Yaoyao puts on the clothes of Tianyu Mall, she can become a projection and leave Lu Chen's sea of ​​consciousness. Now she exists in a state of projection.

She sat on the opposite side of Lu Chen, with her elbows on the table, her head in her hands, and she quietly watched Lu Chen's frowning and tangled up.

Seeing Lu Chen asking herself, she raised her head, and said: "The game is so smooth, how come it can't work when it comes to reality, you can figure it out yourself, I don't care about it."

Su Yaoyao is going to let Lu Chen do it by himself, let him toss and exercise his little brain.

"Uh, okay."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Guest officer, your meal is ready."

Su Yaoyao's projection immediately disappeared, and Lu Chen said: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and a group of waiters carrying dishes came in from the outside. The dishes instantly filled the entire large round table.

Seeing this scene, the waiter said, "Guest officer, are you alone?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"This……"

The guy looked at the dishes on the table, hesitant to speak.

"Then tell us after you finish eating."

"it is good."

Immediately after the buddy was about to go out, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, so he immediately called out: "Wait a minute, I'll ask you something."

After hearing what he said, the guy turned around and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask."

"Is there a place that sells pills in Dongyi City?"

"There are several, I don't know what kind of medicine you need, sir?"

"I don't buy pills, I want to sell pills." Lu Chen said.

"Sell?" The man was stunned when he heard this word, and then said excitedly, "Are you an alchemist?"

Lu Chen nodded.

The clerk continued: "Several major families in the city are recruiting alchemists. As long as you go to any one, they will treat you very well. They will sell your elixir for you, and you don't need to sell the alchemy yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a while.

If he went to these families, wouldn't he become a part-time worker with them, which he wouldn't do.

"Is there no place in the city where you can buy pills separately?"

The man shook his head and said, "The business of pills is basically monopolized by several big families."

"I see."

"Next, this is your reward, remember not to reveal my identity. While talking, Lu Chen took out a silver ingot and threw it at the guy.

The guy quickly caught it, and quickly bent down to thank him.

"Thank you, guest officer. Thank you, guest officer. I will never tell anyone who you are. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

"Okay, you go out first."

After speaking, the man left the house.

After seeing him leave, Su Yaoyao appeared opposite Lu Chen again.

Lu Chen thought about it, since there is no place to buy pills, how about opening one by himself?
It's just that he doesn't seem to have any start-up capital at this early stage. He basically has spirit stones, but spirit stones are only the currency in the world of cultivating immortals, and people in the world don't need such things.

However, several big families will definitely use it. Generally, big families have trade relations with immortal cultivators, but I don't know if they are willing to exchange spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen started to eat, eat the most, fill his stomach first and then think about other things.

……

After the guy who talked to Lu Chen went out, he went straight to the front desk, walked up to the innkeeper, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, the guest who just came here seems to be an alchemist."

When the innkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "How do you know?"

The man replied: "He said it himself, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, and he told me not to tell others."

"Whether it's true or not, you should hurry up and tell Master Zishu."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

……

After Lu Chen finished his meal, he continued to plan his own business plan.

Although she was not doing her job properly, Su Yaoyao didn't seem to have any plans to intervene.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the door was opened, and the guy from before led a sweaty young man into the room.

"This is?"

The guy immediately said: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, I accidentally missed your identity. After this young man heard that you are an alchemist, he said that he must meet you."

amount……

Lu Chen took another look at the young man. He was wearing silk and a white jade belt around his waist. He looked like a son of a wealthy family.

The young master immediately introduced himself and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the third young master of the Zishu family. My name is Zishu Jingfu. Judging by your appearance, you should be an immortal alchemist, right?"

There are also two types of alchemists. One is ordinary alchemists, that is, those who rely on manual control of the furnace to make alchemy. This type of alchemist can only refine ordinary pills, such as nourishing pills and the like.

There is also a type of immortal alchemist, that is, an alchemist who knows some spells. This type of alchemist can control the furnace fire through magic. This type of alchemist can refine more types of elixirs, and the alchemy rate is also extremely high.

Lu Chen didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "What's the matter with you?"

Zishu Jingfu quickly said: "It's like this, our family is going to deliver a batch of beauty pills to the palace recently, but the alchemists in our family collectively left for other families, resulting in our family having no alchemists now. There is no way to deliver the beauty pills on time."

"We want to ask the immortals to help us refine these beauty pills. Please rest assured that the immortals will definitely be rewarded generously."

Seeing that the son was sweating profusely, he must have been anxious when he came here just now.

Lu Chen thought for a while and asked: "I'm a little curious, why do your alchemists collectively quit?"

On Earth, most employees change jobs, either because other companies give them too good treatment when poaching them, or because the company's conditions are too poor.

Lu Chen really wanted to know which type this Zishu Jingfu's family belonged to.

If it's the first one, he can still think about it. After all, he needs contacts if he wants to open a shop, but if the alchemists leave collectively because of their family's exploitation of the alchemists, then he will definitely not help them.

He didn't want to be a free wage earner.

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Zishu Jingfu knew something was wrong, and he just said it in a hurry.

Now their family is on the verge of life and death, just like the fish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board. If it weren't for this, those alchemists would not collectively rebel and go to unite with other families, just to take advantage of the opportunity.

Now that he said that, isn't this person the same as other alchemists?
Despite this concern, Zishu Jingfu answered Lu Chen's question immediately.

"The other big families promised those alchemists that if something happened to our family, they would split half of the assets they gave up."

"How many elixirs are in this batch?" Lu Chen asked.

"1500 pills."

"So much?" Lu Chen rubbed his chin, thinking that these batches of beauty pills were probably for the ladies in the harem.

Lu Chen then asked: "What will happen if you don't hand in the pill on time?"

After Zishu Jingfu heard this, beads of sweat grew on his face, and now he was very afraid that this person would take advantage of the situation to rob him.

"If it is not delivered on time, our family's assets are likely to be seized by the national teacher, and all the land will be transferred to several other big families."

Lu Chen said speechlessly: "Then why did you take this business in the first place? Aren't you seeking death?"

Zishu Jingfu didn't say a word. It is true that their family was too greedy, so they fell into this trap dug by others.

Just when Lu Chen didn't know whether he should help or not, the system prompt sounded.

System task: Help others (help the Zishu family to refine the elixir)
Mission Difficulty: Two Stars
Task reward: 500 crystal coins
Seeing this system task, Lu Chen's brain paused.

Su Yaoyao really knows how to find loopholes, this place can send out a task.

However, the task reward of 500 crystal coins just subsidizes part of the money he bought for the elixir, which is equivalent to that he only needs to spend 1500 crystal coins to buy the beauty pill.

"Okay, I can help you, but I want benefits." Lu Chen said.

Hearing this, Zishu Jingfu was stunned.

Sure enough, is the lion going to open his mouth?
"First tell me how much you want. The amount is too big and I can't decide. I have to go back and ask the head of the family."

Lu Chen compared three fingers.

"I want so much!"

Zishu Jingfu guessed, "Three hundred?"

After Lu Chen heard this number, he said angrily: "What? You just want to send me away for three hundred. Do you think I am a beggar?"

Zishu Jingfu hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, Immortal, what about the three thousand?"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment. 3000 taels of silver should be enough for him to open a shop in Dongyi City. Maybe there will be something to do with the auction house.

"Okay, three thousand is three thousand, just treat me as a favor."

Zishu Jingfu said: "I don't know which fairy sect the immortal belongs to. When the time comes, we will send the gold to you directly."

"Gold?" Lu Chen paused.

Zishu Jingfu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

After Lu Chen came to his senses, he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go, I'll help you make elixirs now."

As Lu Chen said, he patted Zishu Jingfu on the shoulder and walked out the door.

"Helping others is a traditional virtue, and it should be done. Talking about money hurts feelings..."
