This system is so brutal

Chapter 113
Under the leadership of Zishu Jingfu, Lu Chen came to the Zishu family. The Zishu family had a big business and was very wealthy. Even the plaque on the door was made of gold and inlaid with many gems.

Lu Chen didn't really understand how rich the rich people in this world are, so he was more puzzled, why there was 3000 taels of gold for refining and batching pills.

"Your family is so rich, why can't you find an alchemist?" Lu Chen asked while walking.

Zishu Jingfu sighed, and then replied: "Alchemists themselves are rare. Our family has hired all the alchemists around us. No one is willing to make alchemy for us. They are not interested in gold. They need spirits." stone."

Hearing this, Lu Chen realized that ordinary alchemists may collect gold, but real alchemists must collect spirit stones. In the world of immortal cultivators, spirit stones are the currency for trading.

The ultimate goal of alchemists is to pursue immortality, so some of the medicinal materials they need for alchemy cannot be bought in the world, gold and silver are useless, and Lingshi can buy almost any medicinal materials in the world of immortality .

"Since you can afford 3000 taels of gold, why can't you keep those secular alchemists?" Lu Chen continued to ask.

3000 taels is by no means a small number, maybe this batch of nourishing pills is only worth 3000 taels of gold.

It was hard for Lu Chen to imagine what benefits the other big families gave those alchemists, making them give up the 3000 taels of gold who originally liked real gold and silver.

Zishu Jingfu sighed again.

"Alas, the benefits those families promised them are far greater than 3000 taels of gold."

"Our Zishu family belongs to an ordinary earthly family and rarely has contact with immortals, but the other big families are different. They not only have contacts with immortals, but also have many immortals in their families, especially the Dongfang family. Someone in their family is an elder of the Seven Star Sect."

Speaking of this, Zishu Jingfu glanced at Lu Chen, and then said, "You know the Seven Star Sect, right? It's the great immortal sect closest to our country."

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly, and then he smiled and said, "I've heard of it."

Zishu Jingfu went on to say:

"The benefits promised to alchemists by those families are basically what we don't have."

"You should know that not all alchemists like money, they care more about certain precious resources, and these resources can only be obtained by immortals."

"I see."

Lu Chen touched his chin. When he heard that there was a Dongfang family, he felt that things were getting interesting.

Led by Zishu Jingfu, Lu Chen quickly came to the meeting hall of Zishu's family, and happened to meet people from their family discussing this matter.

Seeing Zishu Jingfu bring a strange man to the meeting hall, the patriarch of the Zishu family asked doubtfully: "Jingfu, who is this?"

"This is the Immortal Alchemist. I met him at our family's inn."

Hearing the words Immortal Alchemist, the previously noisy hall instantly became quiet.

Ordinary alchemists are hard enough to hire by themselves, how did Zishu Jingfu invite immortal alchemists?

Soon someone jumped out to question Lu Chen's identity.

Zishu Jingfu's second brother, Zishu Yaoguang, mocked: "Third brother, where did you hire a charlatan? Our family is now at a critical juncture, so I don't have the heart to play with you."

"Zi Shu Yaoguang, do you still have the face to speak? If you hadn't gone to the queen to be courteous, how could our family have encountered this catastrophe? It's not all caused by you!" Zishu Yaoguang regarded him as the second brother, and even called him by his first name. It can be seen that the relationship between their brothers has already broken down.

Zishu Yaoguang suddenly became furious, and then roared: "What did you say!!! I caused it? If I didn't want to improve the family's status, would I have done this? You know how to make such nonsense all day long, Apart from doing nothing, it’s not all because of you that those alchemists left!!!”

It was about to escalate into a scolding war, when their patriarch stopped them.

"Don't talk about it, there are still guests, don't let the guests laugh."

After saying that, the clan leader stood up and came to Lu Chen, and then said, "Are you really an immortal?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "That's right."

At this time, Zishu Yaoguang continued to sarcastically say: "What do you mean? I think there is a high probability that he is a liar who wants to take advantage of the situation."

The patriarch was furious at this moment and yelled at him: "Shut up!"

What Zishu Jingfu said was not wrong, the family’s troubles this time were all caused by Zishu Yaoguang’s self-assessment, so the patriarch had long disliked him.

After being yelled at by the patriarch, Zishu Yaoguang stared at Lu Chen unconvinced, he wanted to see what tricks this charlatan was going to play.

The patriarch turned his head and continued to say to Lu Chen: "There is no way to teach, please forgive me."

Lu Chen said disapprovingly: "It's okay, I'm doing things with money anyway."

The patriarch glanced at Zishu Jingfu, and then continued: "I wonder what the reward Jingfu told the immortal was?"

Lu Chen compared three fingers.

"so much!"

When the patriarch saw the third-shift fingers, he gasped and couldn't help trembling when he spoke.

"Three... 3 taels..."

……

amount……

Lu Chen hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but think: Damn it, this family is so rich!If I had known, I would have ordered more!

Zishu Jingfu hurriedly said, "Patriarch, it's not 3 taels, it's 3000 taels."

Hearing what Zishu Jingfu said, the patriarch heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Zishu Jingfu added: "Gold."

As soon as these two words came out, the patriarch began to cough violently.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Zishu Yaoguang yelled again: "Are you crazy!!! Our batch of pill queens only give 4000 taels, you have to give 3000 taels to others!!!"

After hearing what they said, Lu Chen finally understood the market value of the beauty pill.

Basically, it's more than two taels of gold, and a beauty pill.

Fuck!It is simply a huge profit!
The patriarch ignored what Zishu Yaoguang said, but continued to ask: "Our batch of elixir will be delivered next month, can you finish it within a month?"

Lu Chen thought for a while, opened the Tianyu system interface, and looked at the release time of the Nourishing Pill.

Yangyan Pill is an ordinary elixir, so it doesn't take much time, one elixir only takes 1 minute.

1500 elixirs, that is, 1500 minutes, can basically be refined in 25 hours.

"It doesn't take a month, it can be completed in three days."

three days?

The hall suddenly fell silent, and it took a while for the patriarch to recover.

"Do you have other friends who are alchemists?" the patriarch asked.

Generally speaking, immortal alchemists have a very wide network of contacts, because the pills they refine are all for those immortal sects. In the world of cultivating immortals, alchemists are the most popular.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Zishu family guessed that Lu Chen could find other immortal alchemists to help.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's enough for me alone."

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, just bring the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, I will make the alchemy first, lest you call me a charlatan."

Hearing this, although the patriarch still couldn't believe that Lu Chen could finish it in three days, the other party directly proposed to make the pill first instead of asking for money first, which proved that he was not necessarily here to cheat money, and seeing his confident expression, It might not even be possible.

Anyway, it's already at this time, it's better to give it a go.

The patriarch immediately said: "Immortal, please come with me, I will take you to the alchemy room."

"it is good."

Led by the patriarch, Lu Chen came to the alchemy room.

The location of the alchemy room is very quiet, and the environment is also very beautiful. There are flowers, plants and trees, as well as a pool and a rockery. Originally, this place was used by the former alchemists, but after the alchemists left, the place became vacant.

After arriving at the alchemy room, Lu Chen looked at the big furnace in the middle of the hall. The furnace was three meters wide and two meters high.

Using the Tianyu system to make alchemy does not use a furnace, but the appearance still needs to be made so that people cannot tell the difference.

At this time, the patriarch ordered the servants: "Go, bring all the medicinal materials needed for alchemy."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the alchemy stove and said: "Immortal, how many people do you need to make alchemy, I will find you some who are more agile."

Lu Chen replied: "I don't like people around when I am refining alchemy, just put the container of the elixir aside, I will call you if there is anything."

This……

The patriarch paused, and then let the unimportant people leave the alchemy room first.

Soon, those people brought the medicinal materials to the alchemy room, and Lu Chen pretended to light the fire to let the stove preheat first.

"You can go out now. After the stove is preheated, I will prepare alchemy."

"Then trouble the fairy."

After finishing speaking, the patriarch led the others out of the house, and closed the door before leaving.

After everyone left, Lu Chen used the map of Tianyu to scan and check the people around him.

It was found that two people were peeping at the door, as if they wanted to see how he made alchemy.

Lu Chen immediately scolded: "Since you know that I am an immortal, don't you know that some immortals can easily sense that someone is peeping!"

After hearing this sentence, the two said quickly: "Let's go right away, right away."

After these two people left, Lu Chen walked to the place where the medicinal materials were piled and put all the medicinal materials into the Tianyu Alchemy Furnace.

At this time, Tianyu's alchemy furnace began to automatically mix the medicinal materials in proportion according to the alchemy formula, and then returned all the excess medicinal materials.

Immediately afterwards, the pill furnace started to work.

System prompt: Estimated time for alchemy is 30 hours, 25 minutes and 6 seconds

Obviously, with so many medicinal materials, there must be more than 1500 pills, so it will take a little longer than Lu Chen's estimated 25 hours.

At this time, another line of text popped up on the system interface.

System prompt: Do you want to use crystal coins to shorten the alchemy time?
Lu Chen immediately chose [No], he is not in a hurry now, there is no need to use the acceleration function, this is a waste of crystal coins.

After finishing all this, Lu Chen poured all the extra alchemy materials into the alchemy furnace.

For the next two days, he basically stayed in the alchemy room. Anyway, someone brought food when it was time to eat.

……

Lu Chen helps the Zishu family make elixirs, some are happy and some are sad.

The fact that Zi Shu's family hired an alchemist was quickly leaked out. Those families who were counting on trouble happening to Zi Shu's family must be extremely reluctant to see anyone helping them.

After finally having the opportunity to annex their assets, Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, which is not acceptable.

But at the same time, some people questioned whether Zishujia was bluffing. After all, no matter how powerful an alchemist is, it is difficult to refine 1500 pills in a month.

Unless he is an alchemist from the Immortal Sect, how can an alchemist from the Immortal Sect help an ordinary family in this world without benefiting from it?

The people in the Immortal Sect are not interested in money. What they want is spiritual stones. The Zishu family has almost no dealings with immortals, so where can they get spiritual stones?

Zuixinlou.

In the private room on the third floor.

"Who is this alchemist? Doesn't he know what will happen if he goes against the Dongfang family!" Dongfang Wang patted the table hard and said.

Zishu Yaoguang on the side picked up the wine glass, tasted the wine in the glass carefully, and then said lightly:
"Brother Wang, don't worry, I think he is a charlatan who doesn't know how to make alchemy at all."

"Brother Yaoguang, you have to monitor him carefully. If he really refines that batch of pills, then all our plans will be ruined, and you will still not be the head of the Zishu family. Yes." Dongfang Wang said.

Zishu Yaoguang said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, I will never let anyone take away my position as patriarch. Those old people should also abdicate."

"I want them to know that I am the only person who can revitalize the family."

Dongfang Wang smiled, then raised his wine glass and said, "Then let's congratulate Patriarch Yaoguang in advance for winning the position of Patriarch."

After saying that, several other families also raised their wine glasses.

"Come on, do it!"

When Zishu Yaoguang heard people calling him patriarch, he felt very happy.

He also became more determined.

The family must not be allowed to find a real alchemist, only in this way can he play a role at the most critical moment.

Thinking of this, Zishu Yaoguang asked: "By the way, have you prepared the batch of pills in your hand?"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to deliver on time in a month. The queen will blame me, and I won't be able to do business."

Dongfang Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yaoguang, don't worry, we have already asked the alchemist to start refining that batch of pills, and it is estimated that the refining will be completed in a few days."

"Then I'll be relieved." Zishu Yaoguang said with a smile.

Seeing Zi Shu Yaoguang's expression of having everything under control, Dongfang Wang could not help but think of two words in his heart.

idiot.

……

Not long ago, the Zishu family announced the successor to the position of patriarch. The patriarchs of the Zishu family are basically of the same bloodline, and there are three people in this lineage.

The older one went to join the army, the second one spent his days drinking and drinking, not doing his job, and only the third son-in-law, Jing Fu, was doing things for the family.

So the patriarch announced that the next patriarch would be Zishu Jingfu, which aroused Zishu Yaoguang's dissatisfaction, thinking that he was the most suitable person to be the patriarch.

So he colluded with people from other families, promising those families that he would give them various benefits when he became the patriarch, trying to put his family in crisis, and then he stood up at the most critical moment and forced his father to hand over the position of patriarch .

His idea is of course very good, but what he didn't expect is that the greed of the human heart is unlimited.

The other families obviously have the mentality of bringing down the Zishu family, and they have not yet started preparing the beauty pill.

……

Two days later, Lu Chen's elixir was refined.

After he put 1550 pills into the jar, he swallowed all the remaining pills.

After the pill was refined, he sent someone to call the patriarch.

When the people from Zishu's family heard that Lu Chen had really finished refining the elixir, they all ran to the alchemy room.

At this moment, a large group of people had gathered outside the alchemy room.

The patriarch excitedly took out a elixir from the jar, and then looked at it. It was indeed the beauty elixir, but he just didn't know how effective it would be.

Lu Chen said at this time: "After taking my beauty pill, it will be effective immediately. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to try it."

Hearing what he said, the patriarch picked up one and gave it to a maid beside him and said, "Try it."

The maid took the beauty pill with trembling hands. You know, one mouthful is worth two taels of gold. She has never been treated like this.

With excitement, the servant girl took the Nourishing Pill.

After a while, her face indeed became whiter and more childish.

There were heated discussions all around again.

It's unbelievable that this is true.

In the past, beauty pills took at least two days to take effect. They had never seen a pill that took effect immediately after taking it.

Lu Chen said: "The elixir has been refined, so is it time for me to be rewarded?"

The clan leader reacted at this time and immediately said to the people behind him: "Quick! Go and bring 3000 taels of gold!"

The Zishu clan leader has sensed how extraordinary Lu Chen is. A person like this must have a good relationship. Compared with an alchemist like this who can refine 1500 pills in two days, 3000 taels of gold is a small amount.

While the servants were carrying the gold, the clan leader asked flatteringly: "I don't know what the name of the immortal is? Can you tell me?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and replied:
"It's funny to the fairy gate, there are many ways..."
