It couldn't be helped, who asked him to not have enough money, and he also needed to save money to buy some forging materials. Du Feng could only come out of the bookstore with regret.
Of course, this was also because the cultivation technique books he wanted to buy were too expensive, because he did not fancy those cheap ones. It was better to eat a mouthful of the best than a basket of rotten apricots, those sloppy and ordinary cultivation techniques were indeed meaningless to him. If not for seeing such a peculiar cultivation technique book like the Ten Fingers Sword Art, he actually did not want to buy it.
The remaining money still needed to buy forging materials and pills, so he really had to use it sparingly.
The reason why Du Feng was so embarrassed was because he had been in the mountains for a few years. In these few years, he could only hunt Otherworldly Demons and did not have any other income. The Black Blood obtained from hunting Otherworldly Demons was also used to cultivate the Black Fruit, so there was basically nothing left. Even the elixirs that he had stored up previously were eaten up cleanly.
Tsk tsk tsk … The taste of being poor is not good, Du Feng did not even dare to buy more forging materials this time. It was obvious that it was a good material, he could not be willful and buy it. He could only buy a portion of it first and try it out. Increasing the amount of Blood Breaking Flying Sword was better than not increasing it at all.
After doing these two things, it was time to go to the pharmacy. At this moment, Du Feng was feeling a little nervous, because he did not know if the pills in Sword Dragon City were the same as the ones in Lian Long City. They were also differentiated according to the active ingredients, he did not know if it was possible to fuse two low-grade pills into a high-grade pill.
If it was possible, he could obviously save a lot of money. But if it was not possible, he would have to spend a lot of money. Now that he wished he could break a God's Stone into a flower, Du Feng was really reluctant to buy expensive pills.
Eh, interesting, too interesting!
Du Feng walked to the entrance of the pharmacy, and before he entered, he saw a very interesting announcement. This pharmacy was actually recruiting alchemists, and the treatment was good, but there was a condition, and that was to have the badge of the Alchemist Guild, to put it bluntly, they had to be certified, not anyone could impersonate.
Forget it, let's go in and see the quality of their pills first. Frankly speaking, he was a little tempted. After all, he was short of money now. For the sake of the Dragon Emperor, he had been hiding for a long time. Moreover, the things in Sword Dragon City were indeed expensive.
Right now, Sword Dragon City does not allow private fights, nor does it allow robbery, so no one will come to find trouble with him. With no one finding fault with him, Du Feng would not be able to retaliate. It was equivalent to losing a large portion of his income.
What should I do? Should I go and work as an Alchemist, or should I refine some pills and sell them to earn some money? Ever since Du Feng left the God Realm, he had not done such a thing. After thinking about it, he decided to check out the quality of the pills here first. Even if he wanted to go, they might not necessarily want it.
Fortunately, as an Alchemist himself, he understood it at a glance. Although the pills here were different from those in Lianlong City and were suitable for cultivators above the Fifth Transformation of the Divine Emperor realm, the principle was the same. Through his special method, he could extract the active ingredients of low-grade pills and then fuse them into high-grade pills.
"Shop assistant, I have a question. Are you looking for Alchemists here?"
Du Feng couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked when he was paying the bill.
Because Du Feng had bought quite a lot of pills, the shop assistant replied, "Yes, you are looking for Alchemy. Have you passed the assessment? If not, our shop will not accept you."
"Where do I take the assessment? I have just arrived and do not know the situation."
Since he was a foreign student, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was normal that he did not know. The shop assistant did not reject this matter and told him the address of the Alchemist Union. After Du Feng got the address, he took the pills and was about to leave when he was stopped by the shop assistant.
"Wait, are you going there just like that?"
When the shop assistant said that, Du Feng was confused. Didn't you tell me that I could take the assessment? Why did you change your mind?
"You need to have a visitation card, otherwise, they will not let you in."
"Alright, so that was the case. But Du Feng was a newcomer from the outside. How could he get a visitation card?
"How about this, if you buy more pills, our shop can give you one. You can go and try it out. If you can't pass, don't blame us."
It seemed like this shop assistant was still promoting his own pills. As long as Du Feng bought enough, he would give him a visitation card. Furthermore, he said that he would not guarantee that he would pass. Whether he could pass or not would depend on his own ability. If he passed, he could come to their shop to apply to be an Alchemist. If he couldn't pass, then he would not even have the qualifications to apply for a job.
This really put Du Feng in a difficult position. Because after he bought the Ten Finger Sword Technique and the forging materials, he did not have much money left. Originally, he wanted to save a little for a rainy day. But now, the shop assistant said that he must buy enough before he could give him a visitation card. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the Alchemist Union.
A penny stumps a hero. Even when Du Feng was in the lower realm, he was not in such a predicament. At that time, if he did not have money, he could just sell some pills and talismans. If he really could not, he could forge some weapons to sell.
"Oh, right. Does your shop accept pills?"
Du Feng suddenly thought of something. Anyway, they were recruiting Alchemists. Why don't I go back later and fuse some high grade pills to buy back this shop. He would make use of the price difference between high grade and low grade pills to earn a small sum of money first.
"Why? You still have pills to sell to us? If you really have those, then we will definitely buy them."
When the shop assistant heard this, he became excited and directly threw a price list to Du Feng. On it was the purchase price of various pills. The price was slightly lower than the retail price. In fact, it was the purchase price of the major pharmacies. It was because they felt that purchasing was too troublesome and the price kept rising that they wanted to recruit their own Alchemist.
Du Feng took a look at the pills on the price list. Frankly speaking, he only recognized one type at the moment, which was the one he just bought. But it did not matter. There was still a price difference between the low grade, middle grade and high grade pills. Although it was lower than the retail price, it was still a profit.
"Alright, then I will look for you later."
Du Feng did not want the visitation card anymore. He took the pills that he bought and left. What he liked the most was to earn this kind of difference in price. He would use the other party's pills to fuse and then sell it to them later. Originally, he was afraid that he would offend his peers by selling pills in Sword Dragon City. Since their shop was buying them back, it would be for the best.
"Aiya, Brother Du brought back good stuff again."
Seeing Du Feng enter the shop, the Dragon Emperor became excited. Because he would buy a lot of things every time he went to a new place.
