Lin Zhen watched from the side as Thomas prepared the potion.
Thomas had already agreed with Lin Zhen that if Lin Zhen needed a mentor, he would be Lin Zhen's mentor.
In Thomas's opinion, Lin Zhen was a genius in alchemy. If he was carefully nurtured, he would definitely shine brightly in the future.
Thomas wasn't making pills, but potions.
Pills were actually a general term. Other than the Golden Pill, there were also potions, powders, granules, and many others.
"Look carefully, this is Dragon Blood Potion. After drinking it, it will increase your strength and toughen your skin. Moreover, it has a natural deterrent effect on demonic beasts like snakes and insects."
Lin Zhen immediately focused on listening to Thomas's explanation. In this aspect, Xu Xingyao had also dabbled in, but his level wasn't high.
About twenty minutes later, the potion was ready. Xu Xingyao suddenly said, "Lin Zhen, inject your cold aura!"
Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a cold aura of negative 150 degrees Celsius appeared in his hand.
"There's no need to be so low. 70 degrees Celsius will do."
The cold aura was lowered and injected into the Dragon Blood Potion.
He thought that the blood would immediately solidify, but he didn't expect it to solidify slowly. In the end, it didn't turn into ice, but something similar to jelly.
"It's done! With this refrigeration technique, the Dragon Blood Potion can be placed on the shelves for sale. Do you understand now? "
Lin Zhen nodded. He already knew how to make this potion.
"Alright, sit down. You came here as a reward from the Dimensional Universe Corporation. Moreover, you and I are fated. If you don't mind, follow me in alchemy in the future. I guarantee that you will become a guild elder within twenty years!"
A guild elder was a Grade 5 alchemist, an existence even more respected than a World King. For Thomas to make such a promise to Lin Zhen, it was enough to show how much importance he attached to Lin Zhen.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher!" Lin Zhen immediately bowed to Thomas.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you are a teacher or not. The most important thing is that you have the ability to survive here."
Thomas said sternly, "The Alchemist Guild will not provide you with medicinal ingredients for free. Even if it's me, I will have to buy them at a 30% discount. Your consumption of pills will definitely not be small. If you can't sell your pills, then your life will be tough. Even if you have a billion in your hands, it will be used up in no time."
"Teacher, don't worry. This shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Zhen's Elemental Gathering Powder dispelled the fire poison. Given enough time, it would definitely succeed in the market.
"En, you go first. If you want to sell pills, it's best to buy a shop in advance. You can talk to the front desk."
Lin Zhen nodded and added their dimensional universe numbers to each other before leaving his courtyard.
Returning to the main building, Lin Zhen first found the lady at the front desk and asked her to help him purchase a shop.
If there were some goods that were rarely traded in the dimensional universe, then it should be pills.
Because the ingredients of pills were too complicated and difficult to understand, if it wasn't a shop that was well known, most people wouldn't dare to buy it. Even if they bought it, it might be a fake. Moreover, there was no way to reason with these things.
For example, the Elemental Gathering Powder definitely had the ingredients to increase one's strength. However, it wasn't certain by how much. After all, in the dimensional universe, one wouldn't be able to distinguish the ingredients of a pill.
Even if one were to seek compensation, it would be a bullsh * t lawsuit. The seller would say that there was a problem with one's physique, or that there was no way to prove how much one had improved.
Therefore, the biggest transaction for pills was still within the shop.
The lady at the front desk, Suzanne, was very happy to serve Lin Zhen. Because in her opinion, Lin Zhen was the same as her, belonging to the category of young people.
Alchemists were mostly old antiques. Suzanne felt that she was old after interacting with them every day.
She was 700 years old this year, and Lin Zhen was 1000 years old. How young were the two of them …
Lin Zhen found his own alchemy room on the third floor.
This kind of deacon-level alchemy room had the same specifications. Inside, there was a pill furnace, a medicine cabinet, a blower, and so on. It was fully equipped.
However, the pill furnace didn't look as good as the one he used.
Lin Feng stayed in the room. When he saw Lin Zhen replace the pill furnace, he immediately asked for the eliminated pill furnace.
"Boss, I want to refine pills too. Let me use this."
"Use it as you wish. Followers have human rights too."
"I'm not a follower. I'm a World King!"
"Level 1."
“.....。”
*****
Lin Zhen patiently stayed in the Alchemist Guild. Suzanna's work efficiency was very fast. On the fifth day, Lin Zhen found a house. It was a prime location, and he only needed 10 million to get it. Thus, the large amount of pills he had in his hands could be listed on the market.
The shop was named Ice Fire Divine Pill by Lin Zhen. The important attribute of no fire poison was marked on it.
Moreover, on every pill, there was Lin Zhen's exclusive logo, a flame above a frozen air.
Poison and side effects troubled every user. Lin Zhen believed that his pills would definitely occupy the market very quickly.
The 50 million in his hand was all used to buy medicine. Lin Zhen began to work without sleep. His alchemy skills became more and more skillful. Every day, large amounts of Elemental Gathering Powder and Hundred Flower Pills were refined from his hands.
During this period, Lin Zhen didn't think about anything. He didn't even look at the goods in the Dimensional Universe. He wanted to earn money as fast as possible.
Lin Feng also temporarily left the guild to help Lin Zhen manage the shop. He really became a follower.
Things went as Lin Zhen expected. On the first day of the shop's opening, more than 50 bottles of pills were sold. This was already very impressive for a newly opened shop without any foundation.
The price of each bottle of Elemental Gathering Powder was 100,000. After deducting the cost of Lin Zhen's alchemy, each bottle could earn 70,000!
On the first day, he earned more than three million!
But this was just the beginning. The sales climbed all the way to the peak. On the tenth day, the sales had reached 400 bottles!
Even if Lin Zhen was crazily refining pills, the supply still couldn't meet the demand.
In addition, there was also the sales of Hundred Flower Pills, which could bring about 6 million to Lin Zhen every day.
In desperation, Lin Zhen had to start limiting the supply to 200 bottles a day. Even so, he didn't have much time to do other things. He could only refine a little more than 200 bottles a day.
The sales of Elemental Gathering Powder and Hundred Flower Pills could bring about 20 million to Lin Zhen every day.
These days lasted for two whole months!
The news of Ice Fire Divine Pill and an alchemist who was proficient in both ice and fire spread. But two months later, Lin Zhen's shop also had some trouble.
Because around him, six pill shops had opened at the same time.
"Ice Fire Immortal Pill, Ice Fire Holy Pill, Ice Fire Divine Medicine, Ice Fire Dual Spirit Pill …"
The names were similar, and in many of the medicine shops, there were actually Lin Zhen's pills for sale!
Among these pills, there were often a few of Lin Zhen's pills mixed with other medicines.
The other medicines had a characteristic, which was that they also had ice and fire characteristics, but they were not very successful in dispelling the poison. The quality of the pills was uneven, which immediately caused the reputation of the Ice Fire Divine Pill to be somewhat bad.
This meant that there was another alchemist who was proficient in both ice and fire at the same time who was going against Lin Zhen.
Moreover, ordinary customers could not buy authentic Ice Fire Divine Pills at all. This was because there were some bad martial artists blocking the entrance of Lin Zhen's medicine shop every day. As long as the pills arrived, they would immediately take them all and then brazenly sell them at other pill shops.
This way, the other shops would all lose money. Lin Zhen was still making money, but the number of people buying Ice Fire Divine Pills was getting fewer and fewer.
Lin Zhen had just earned two months of stable money when he was attacked by others.
Lin Zhen already had 1.2 billion in his hands. Originally, he wanted to earn a year and a half before leaving to find Feng Qingluan. However, he did not expect to be cut off.
"Boss, I went to the other shops, but they said that they were all acting under orders. If you want to change the situation, then go talk to their boss. Otherwise, this kind of day will continue until no one buys Ice Fire Divine Pills anymore."
"Who is their boss?"
"It's the person I told you about before, Gu Yunting."
Lin Zhen nodded, packed up his things, and stopped refining pills for the time being.
He was going to find Thomas and ask about this Gu Yunting.
After arriving at Thomas's courtyard and seeing him, Lin Zhen told him about the recent events.
Thomas was silent for a long time before saying, "Lin Zhen, Gu Yunting's power is very strong. He can monopolize 40% of the pill market in Xianle County. You can guess how much power is behind this person. If it doesn't work, you can take the pills back to the Alchemist Guild. The guild will sell them for you. This way, there won't be a disturbance in the market."
"Doesn't the guild have a way to deal with him? Isn't he a member of the Alchemist Guild? "
Thomas smiled bitterly, "He used to be. He used to be not only a member of the guild, but also the guild's president. Strictly speaking, he was my senior brother."
"We used to learn alchemy under the same teacher. Gu Yunting also had the best aptitude. Later on, he also became the president. However, because he practiced dark alchemy, he was removed from the list by the teacher. There was no way for him to be the president, so the current president took over. However, Gu Yunting's strength is very strong, and his connections are also very strong. With the support of others, he actually made a name for himself."
"I'm sure that the other person who is proficient in ice and fire is him. He would rather spend a lot of money to drive you out of the pill market. Lin Zhen, you can't win against him. Even official methods won't work. We've already tried many times."
Lin Zhen nodded, "I understand. Then I won't go through the guild."
After saying that, Lin Zhen walked out of Thomas's room. When he walked out, Lin Zhen suddenly turned around and asked Thomas, "Then what if Gu Yunting suddenly dies?"
