Chapter 006 Lack of Money
Concentration more than nine layers!
After the tutors announced the results, the whole class suddenly fell into a dead silence. Although they had expected it, they still had some luck in their hearts, thinking that Li Sen might have bought it in the market. Honey with a concentration of more than nine layers means that it is really collected in the deep mountains, and it is definitely not bought in the market to muddle through.
The general facts prove that Li Sen did not cheat!
Several people who despised Li Sen's faces suddenly turned red, and Li Sen's achievements have far surpassed them. Not only did Li Sen not cheat, but his scholarship was to be determined because his grades were too excellent. In history, scholarships are to be determined, and they are all obtained by fake students at the beginning, but the later scholarships to be determined represents absolute excellence. This has not happened in the whole Kalan Star Martial Arts College for three years!
The tutors did not pay much attention to the surprise of the students. After receiving the multi-footed mutant bee honey provided by Li Sen, they went to the next place to continue their test.
After the tutor left, Li Sen turned to Roldo and said, "Fatty, thank you."
"You have a relationship with me. Thank you?" The fat man was slightly stunned and suddenly laughed again, "Li Sen, this is the first time I've heard you thank you. Hahaha, I've changed my mind. I must accept your thanks."
Looking at Roldo's proud look, Li Sen smiled and didn't say much. More life experiences than ordinary people made Li Sen understand that it was necessary to cherish people who are kind to him.
The night was as cool as water. When the night came, Li Sen had returned to his dormitory, sat by the window **, and began to accumulate star power.
In the void, the faint purple starlight shines and is used in the form of a cyclone to Li Sen's body. After swallowing a few cycles around Li Sen's body, it slowly integrates into Li Sen's body.
The swallowing sky has completed an evolution, and Li Sen obviously feels that the gathering speed of his star power is more than twice as fast as in the past!
In the repeated accumulation of star power, Li Sen felt that his strength was gradually and steadily improving.
The next day, Li Sen's scholarship was evaluated, 1,500 gold coins!
The scholarship is very high, but because Li Sen was very shocking yesterday, the 1,500 gold coins did not surprise many people. Most of the students who can study at Kalan Star Martial Arts College are either rich or expensive. Although they need money very much, 1,500 gold coins are not enough to make them jealous.
However, this money has a completely different meaning for Li Sen.
"Lucky little guy, now you have the money to buy those raw materials." When Li Sen took the money in his hand, the old alchemist's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Apprentice, I let you keep that yellow core. Now it seems to be an extremely correct decision, right?"
"Yes, teacher." Li Sen listened to the old alchemist's words and answered with great approval. He also had a deeper expectation for the acceleration of his strength.
For a whole day, Li Sen passed by in a hurry. Li Sen, who looked a little abnormal, did not know that a pair of beautiful eyes would often annotate him.
When night fell, Li Sen hurried out of the school and walked to the market.
In Carroll City, there are many large department stores, but the prices inside are relatively expensive and the price is relatively rigid. There is no room for negotiation at all. Li Sen did not plan to go in at the beginning.
Walking upstream from the market stall, with the help of the old and powerful spirit of the alchemy, Li Sen quickly bought the herbs, fruits, and nectar he needed. Nearly a thousand gold coins were not hot, and they were spent cleanly in a blink of an eye. Li Sen suddenly felt that he was really short of money.
"Walk 30 steps to the left and go to an alchemy booth to buy a set of alchemy equipment for your training, but there is a small black cylinder there. Remember to buy it." The voice of the old alchemist suddenly sounded in Li Sen's mind.
Li Sen listened and immediately came to a booth according to the words of the alchemist.
There are a lot of things in the booth, most of which are alchemy tools, followed by poorly made swords, and finally some simple hemostatic herbs.
In the Xingwu mainland, not everyone can become an alchemist, and not everyone can afford the elixir refined by the alchemist, so most star martial artists will use some alchemy tools to make some herbs for themselves.
If there is demand, there is a market, so alchemy tools are not rare.
"What do you want to buy, young master?" The stall owner politely said to Li Sen, "The things here are very good, and the price is definitely the lowest in the whole market, guaranteed..."
"I'm going to buy some alchemy tools to go back to practice." Li Sen said and interrupted the stall owner's boasting, "Boss, how much is the thing worth? I know more or less. Don't shout loudly and let me bargain with you, so that everyone will be boring."
"Don't worry, young master. We all want to be repeat customers when we do business, and the price will definitely be affordable." The stall owner said with a smile, "You bought it. You think it's affordable. If you need to continue to buy it from me in the future, or introduce me to a few more guests, that's fine."
Li Sen smiled and began to choose things.
Students studying in Kalan Star Martial Arts College have been more or less exposed to alchemy, and they will also prepare a set of alchemy equipment for themselves to learn some shallow alchemy. Li Sen bought a set of alchemy tools this time and didn't seem to be unique, so he didn't have to worry about revealing anything.
When the stall owner saw that Li Sen had purchased a set of alchemy equipment, he immediately introduced his own tools to Li Sen more enthusiastically.
Li Sen did not believe the stall owner's words. He only selected a set of alchemy equipment based on the comments of the alchemist, and finally inadvertently collected a small black cylinder that the alchemist asked him to clean up and threw it in the alchemy tripod.
"Wait, young master, the price of this tube is relatively high." The stall owner said, "It needs 200 gold coins, and I don't know what's in it. However, the young master will choose it, which is obviously familiar with the goods. The cost is relatively high. Although I haven't sold it, the price I bought is very high. You can't let me lose money, can you?
"You can buy it at this price." The old alchemist said, "It will be very useful for your cultivation in the future."
"How much in total?" Li Sen asked calmly, but he put down the whole set of alchemy equipment. It seemed that the other party's price was high, and he was about to turn around and leave.
"Two hundred and fifty gold." The stall owner looked at Li Sen's posture, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "This is definitely the most affordable price. This time it's purely to solicit customers, and I won't make money. If it weren't for the cost of this thing, I wouldn't be willing to take action at a loss.
Li Sen heard this and smiled. Although he knew that the other party was talking nonsense, the price was not difficult to accept, so he readily gave the other party three hundred gold crystal cards.
Seeing this, the stall owner quickly found 50 gold coins and gave them to Li Sen.
After receiving the gold coins, Li Sen walked to the alchemy department store, where there was a pure core of pure quality.
The beauty economy, no matter in which era, will work.
At the gate of the Alchemy Department Store, there are two beautiful girls standing like flowers. When someone passes by, they will bow and salute, making a pleasant and coquettish voice.
After depositing the items on the counter, Li Sen went straight to the kernel area.
In the kernel area, Li Sen quickly bought three segment-level kernels, which were red, red and orange, according to the instructions of the alchemist. With three cores, Li Sen did not hesitate and turned to the counter to settle.
"A total of two hundred and fifty-one gold coins." When the old man at the checkout reported the data, Li Sen put two crystal cards with a denomination of 100 gold coins and a bag containing 50 gold coins on the table.
After turning over his pocket, Li Sen took out nine more silver coins. He was a little surprised to find that there was a silver coin missing in his hand!
"Not enough money?" The old man at the counter was obviously an experienced man. He knew what had happened as soon as he saw Li Sen's expression.
"Yes." Li Sen said, "I..."
"So I'm sorry, the transaction failed." The old man interrupted Li Sen and said, "As an ethical businessman, I kindly remind you that if you don't buy it today, the price of these cores will rise tomorrow. Of course, you can also buy it alone, but there is no discount if you buy it alone. The red core is 80 gold coins, and the orange core is 150 gold coins.
"I'm only one silver coin." Li Sen said, "Can I owe it first? Can I send it to you tomorrow?"
"Sorry, even a copper coin doesn't work. Our firm doesn't have anything on credit." The old man said, "Okay, put the things down, go back and get the money ready, but it's faster. If you haven't arrived before we close the door, I'll put these cores back on the sales shelf.
Li Sen was suddenly a little embarrassed when he heard such inhuman words. Now it's too late for him to hurry back.
Looking around, Li Sen suddenly saw a familiar person around him.
"Qinwa." When Li Sen saw the man, his mood suddenly fluctuated a little and he stopped him.
"Li Sen? Are you here? Buy a kernel?" Qin Wei quickly turned around and walked over. A delicate face appeared in front of Li Sen. The eyelids under the long eyelashes blinked, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Yes." Li Sen smiled awkwardly and said, "Qinwa, I have something to ask you for a favor?"
"Well, okay." Qinwa said, "What's the matter?" At this time, Qinwa's heart was a little cheering, but at the same time, she complained. She followed Li Sen for most of the time, and the wood didn't notice her until now. It really hurt Miss Qin's self-esteem...
"This... can you lend me a silver coin?" Li Sen said with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "I want to buy a core, but I don't have enough money. I'm short of a silver coin."
"Oh?" Qinwa listened and smiled. She came to the old man, took out a golden sign, shook it in front of the old man, and then said, "Housekeeper, he is my classmate. I want to help him buy the kernel. Please discount according to the gold card. How much does it cost now?"
When the old man saw the sign, there was a trace of surprise on his face. He quickly stood up, bowed to Qinwa, and said, "It turned out that the young lady came, but the young lady has opened her mouth, so this transaction can only charge the cost price, and he only needs to pay 200 gold coins."
Li Sen listened to the old man's words and knew that this business was originally run by the Qin family...
On the street, a tall noble lady walked side by side with the young and handsome young master, attracting the attention of many people. People looked at the two people with calm looks and wondered whether they were lovers or happened to be walking together. The two walked very close and walked at the same pace. They clearly knew each other, but they were like strangers and did not talk to each other, which seemed very strange.
"Thank you, Qinwa." At the school gate, Li Sen said, "If it weren't for you today, maybe I would..."
"Ha ha, you're welcome." Qinwa said with a smile, "If you still want to buy the kernel in the future, you can call me."
"This... thank you very much." Li Sen said with a smile, looking a little hesitant.
Qinwa heard the words and smiled, but said nothing more.
At the school gate, the two of them stood quietly like this.
After an awkward silence, the two said goodbye to each other.
After returning to his dormitory, before Li Sen had time to sort out the items he bought today, the alchemist came out of the world of the alchemy. He smiled and said to Li Sen, "Apprentice, this little girl is interested in you. As long as you spend some time and enter the Qin family as an alchemist, what do I see the kernel and treasure? Expensive herbs are not a problem.
"Teacher, you'd better configure the nutrient solution for me." Hearing this, Li Sen immediately smiled bitterly and said, "What's more, it's not what I want to rely on a woman to eat. Although I don't mean to despise women, I can't accept this kind of life in my heart."
The old alchemist listened to Li Sen's words, was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "In those years, I had this temper, and finally ended up alone... Forget it, I won't talk about the past. Since you don't have this thought, let's learn some alchemy knowledge first."
When Li Sen heard the words and knew that the business was coming, he immediately picked up a serious attitude.
"Amuscented fruit is one of the most common essential items for alchemy. Many women also like to use smoked fruit to change their body taste. The fundamental reason is that the smoked fruit has strong permeability." The alchemist took out a smoked fruit and explained, "However, the characteristics of the smoked fruit are not only permeable, because its medicinal properties are extremely mild and basically do not conflict with any drugs, so it is often used by alchemists when they are alchemy. Many elixirs have aromas. In fact, they are because of the use of smoked fruit. "
In Xingwu mainland, the alchemy industry has always been shrouded in a mysterious aura.
Everyone is curious. Li Sen has always been curious about alchemy. Now the magical veil of alchemy is gradually untied under the explanation of the alchemist. Li Sen found that there were so many reasons for alchemy.
"Jiujielan can strengthen flesh and blood, muscles and bones, but its penetration is not good, so it needs the penetration of smoked fruit to enter the body." The alchemist said, "However, Jiujielan will consume people's blood sharply after entering the body, so it is necessary to use the magic kernel to make up for the loss of human blood. That's why I asked you to buy the kernel. Hundreds of nectar is fed with sweetness and nourishing, and the molasses can be directly absorbed by the human body. After grinding the demon core into powder, it is mixed with nectar to maximize the use of the kernel powder..."
With a lifetime of experience, Li Sen's essential understanding of many truths naturally has many advantages that his peers do not have.
There are many truths in alchemy. As soon as the alchemist old man mentioned it, Li Sen understood. With the explanation of the old alchemist, Li Sen gradually understood many things that need to be considered in alchemy. At the same time, he also understood why the alchemist bought medicinal materials for him like this.
When the old alchemist explained, he saw Li Sen's enlightened look from time to time, and suddenly a satisfied smile appeared on his face: With such understanding, it would be much easier to learn alchemy.
"When strengthening the body, the more herbs, the better. The more a smart alchemist, the easier it is to use." The old alchemist opened his mouth, and then walked to the three cores bought by Li Sen, took out a red core, and continued to say to Li Sen: "Many alchemists don't know the nature of medicine, but they have refined a bunch of drugs. For example, in the department store you went to today, many elixirs have conflicts in their medicinal properties. Although they are also effective, they have a lot of side effects on those who take them. Those elixirs can be completely classified as garbage failures.
Li Sen listened quietly. When the old alchemist belittled and despised the elixir made by other alchemists, he did not follow him, but listened carefully to what should be paid attention to, and there was no disrespect for other sorers.
The alchemist has been paying attention to Li Sen. Seeing that Li Sen's expression was still serious, and there was no sense of superiority and contempt, he was more satisfied. Then he picked up a red core, a pale white flame rose in his palm, and slowly burned it.
The red core emitted a trace of smoke under the burning of the alchemy old man, but the core itself looked intact and extremely magical.
Soon after, the alchemist took back the fire of the soul in his hand, and then he divided the core into two halves, half into the poured nectar, and the other half into a bucket that had already been filled with hot water...
*
The old alchemist is undoubtedly an extremely clever alchemist, but he is also a very smart lecturer. Li Sen can easily understand many alchemy truths from his words. By night, Li Sen has basically understood many alchemy truths. After dinner, after taking the nectar prepared by the alchemist, Li Sen jumped into the prepared potion bucket
It's hot and painful!
As soon as Li Sen entered the medicine barrel, he immediately took a breath of cold air. He only felt that his whole body seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and he couldn't wait to jump out of the water immediately.
"Don't stand up." The soul of the alchemist suddenly floated in front of Li Sen, "Once you leave the water, the effect of the medicine will weaken. Tolerate, you must resist. If you don't want to live under humiliation, you must endure this pain.
"Yes, teacher." Li Sen said, his mouth seemed to be leaking, and his voice seemed to be a little out of shape. The pain made his eyes burst out with a little blood, the blue veins on his neck burst out, and his handsome face also showed some distortions.
"Very good, so now you can start practicing the star formula." The alchemist said, "After the red core powder enters your body, it can not be retained for a long time, and it is more beneficial to refine the drug in time to improve your strength."
