Five Elements Sacred Secret

"As for the reward, we can negotiate it. But how can you guarantee the quality of the pills?" Shi Shanqi asked after understanding.

"Don't worry about this. We get what you pay for." Mu Xiaofeng replied.

Now the two of them have already started negotiating the price, and every word they say is for their own benefit. Mu Xiaofeng also naturally understands this principle, and he also talks about the benefits.

"Well, you name a price." Mu Xiaofeng said again.

After hearing what Mu Xiaofeng said, Shi Shanqi fell into deep thought. It was useless to keep arguing. In this situation, his side would be at a disadvantage.

"How about this, 10% of the value of a pill?" Shi Shanqi said after thinking for a while.

"It seems that the boss is not sincere at all." Mu Xiaofeng pretended to stand up and leave.

"Friend Yi, don't be anxious. Aren't we still discussing it?" Shi Shanqi said hurriedly.

"Can we talk?" Mu Xiaofeng asked out of curiosity. After asking, he said, "Then, Boss Shi, can you tell me more?"

"15%? How about 20%?" Shi Shanqi said halfway, then changed his mind when he saw Mu Xiaofeng's face looked strange.

"Let's put it this way, Boss Shi, let's not beat around the bush. I know the cost of the pills very well, 35% of each pill, and you guys provide the spiritual herbs, and then find a courtyard with better spiritual energy. Of course, the most important thing is that I can come and go freely."

Mu Xiaofeng stated his requirements, and his psychological price was 30%. But he had to say it was higher, but if he said 40%, it would seem that he was not sincere. Generally speaking, the cost of a pill is usually 15%, so it is more reasonable for him to take 30% and the Dan Pavilion to take 50%, and he doesn't have to pay any cost.

Regarding the cost, based on the fifth-level pill, the average pill master has about six or seven pills, and the average cost of each pill is about one thousand. However, a furnace of pills can be bought at the Dan Pavilion for 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones.

After hearing Mu Xiaofeng's offer, Shi Shanqi fell into deep thought again. Shi Shanqi was naturally thinking about his own costs and his own interests.

"Then what is the rate of one furnace for Brother Yi?" Shi Shanqi asked after thinking about it.

"Usually six or seven, but of these six or seven, we can guarantee that 90% are of this quality." Mu Xiaofeng replied without thinking. This was something he had thought of in advance. When doing business, one must ask about the success rate. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge loss if one out of ten furnaces of pills could only produce one of this quality?

"Okay, I agree to Fellow Daoist Yi's conditions."

What surprised Mu Xiaofeng was that Shi Shanqi didn't bargain again.

Of course, this is also Mu Xiaofeng’s misunderstanding. The success rate of an average alchemist is indeed about six or seven pills, but the quality of the pills cannot be guaranteed in this case.

"Okay, nice to work with."

Mu Xiaofeng stood up and said.

"Then Fellow Daoist Yi, can you introduce me to the alchemist?" Shi Shanqi said as if he was relieved.

"Haha, boss, I mean we have a pleasant cooperation."

Mu Xiaofeng said with a slight smile.

"Brother Daoist Yi, you are not joking, right?" Shi Shanqi's face darkened when he heard Mu Xiaofeng's words.

Mu Xiaofeng looks very young now, and he has reached the Xuandan realm. He can also refine pills of this quality. Shi Shanqi doesn't believe anything he says.

"Friend Daoist Yi, are you here to make fun of me?" There was already a hint of coldness in Shi Shanqi's voice.

"Master Shi, how can I believe it?" Mu Xiaofeng asked helplessly as he looked at Shi Shanqi's changes.

"Brother Daoist Yi, are you really not joking? How can a fourth-rank alchemist at such a young age be able to refine pills of this quality?" Shi Shanqi looked at Mu Xiaofeng and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he asked.

"Haha, Boss Shi, you are wrong about one thing. He is not a fourth-level alchemist." Mu Xiaofeng said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Shanqi showed an understanding expression on his face, but his face froze before he could say anything.

"I am a fifth-level alchemist."

When Mu Xiaofeng said this, Shi Shanqi opened his eyes wide and mouth.

"Are you serious?" After a long while, the genius from Shishan finally managed to utter a word.

"It's genuine, don't worry, I'm in charge." Mu Xiaofeng said easily.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but Fellow Daoist Yi, Master Yi is really too surprising. A genius alchemist like Master Yi should be the beloved disciple of some alchemy sect and should not appear here."

Although Shi Shanqi believed what Mu Xiaofeng said, there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Master Shi, you're too polite. I'd better find a good place to live. I just arrived in Heluo City." Mu Xiaofeng reminded.

"Of course, of course. This is as it should be. If Master Yi Dan had made it clear earlier, I would have agreed a long time ago."

Mu Xiaofeng naturally knew that this was just a polite remark, as every businessman is profit-seeking.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Shanqi said, "If Master Yi Dan doesn't mind, there is an empty yard in my Nuo Si Dan Pavilion. The spiritual energy is pretty good."

"Okay." Mu Xiaofeng did not hesitate. He was still of great use to the Nuoshidan Pavilion, so the Nuoshidan Pavilion would not do anything to him.

"May I ask Master Yi Dan what fifth-level elixirs can be refined?"

"As long as it's level five, there shouldn't be any problem. Even some simple level six pills can be refined, but the success rate and quality aren't very good." Mu Xiaofeng said this so that in the future he could propose refining level six pills when there's a chance. This opportunity doesn't come often.

"Ah? Master Yi Dan can also refine sixth-grade pills?" Shi Shanqi asked in disbelief.

"Not yet, but I'll be able to do it later." Mu Xiaofeng replied.

"That's okay. I still have some sixth-grade spiritual herbs in my Nuoshidan Pavilion. But... Master Yi, do you think the chances of becoming a sixth-grade alchemist are high?" Shi Shanqi asked again.

"I guess it's quite big." Mu Xiaofeng said with a slight smile. Although he was sure that he would advance in the future, it was impossible for him now.

"Then let's do this. If Master Yi refines twenty furnaces of fifth-grade elixirs, I will give Master Yi a furnace of sixth-grade spiritual herbs for free. If other Master Yi needs spiritual herbs from Nuo Si Dan Pavilion, they can all be discounted by 50%."

Shi Shanqi did this to win over Mu Xiaofeng first. It was not a loss to give away one furnace of sixth-grade spiritual herbs for the profit of twenty furnaces of fifth-grade elixirs. Spiritual herbs were only valuable when they were turned into elixirs. Anything else was nonsense. If Mu Xiaofeng could refine a sixth-grade elixir of that quality, it would be even more useful to Nuoshi Dan Pavilion.

"Then thank you, Boss Shi." This is exactly the effect Mu Xiaofeng wanted.

"It's okay. I'll take Master Yi Dan to my residence. Let's rest today. I'll send someone to deliver the fifth-level spiritual herbs tomorrow." Shi Shanqi said.

"fair enough."

Shi Shanqi led Mu Xiaofeng to a large yard and then left.

After Mu Xiaofeng entered, he found that the yard was quite large and full of spiritual energy. There were also rockeries and water in the yard, a stone table, and a clump of green bamboo. Although it was not a spiritual plant, it made the yard full of vitality.
