Chapter 6 Short of Money
Chapter 6: Shortage of money ()
Concentration is above nine layers!
After the mentors announced the results, the entire 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 purchased it on the market. The concentration of honey above nine layers means that it was really collected from the mountains, and it was definitely not purchased on the market to get away with it.
The ironclad fact proves that Li Sen did not cheat!
The faces of a few people who despise Li Sen's faces suddenly turned red. Li Sen's grades have far surpassed them. Not only did Li Sen not cheat, but the scholarships were also due to their excellent grades. In history, scholarships were not determined, and they were all fraudsters who were falsified. However, the scholarships were not determined later, which represented absolute excellence. This situation had not happened in the entire Kalan Star Martial Arts Academy for three years!
The tutors did not pay too much attention to the students' surprise. After collecting the multi-foot mutant bee honey provided by Li Sen, they went to the next position and continued their test.
After the mentor left, Li Sen turned to Roldor and said, "Fatty, thank you."
"You have a relationship with me, why do you thank me?" The fat man was slightly stunned and suddenly laughed again, "Li Sen, this is the first time I heard you thank you to others. Hahaha, I have changed my mind. I must accept your thanks."
Looking at Raldo's proud look, Li Sen smiled slightly and said nothing. His life experiences made Li Sen understand that it is necessary to cherish people who are kind to him.
The night was as cool as water. When the night came, Li Sen had already returned to his dormitory, sat cross-legged on the bed beside the window, and began to accumulate star power.
In the void, a faint purple star glowed, and used it to Li Sen's body in the form of a cyclone. After several cycles around Li Sen's body, it slowly merged into Li Sen's body.
The Heaven-Swallowing Art has completed an evolution, and Li Sen clearly felt that the speed of his current star power gathering is more than twice as fast as before!
As the repeated accumulation of star power was achieved, Li Sen felt that his strength was gradually increasing steadily.
The next day, Li Sen's scholarship was evaluated, with 1,500 gold coins!
The scholarship is very high, but because Li Sen had already given people a shocking feeling yesterday, the 1,500 gold coins did not surprise many people. Most of the students who can study at Kalan Star Martial Arts Academy are either rich or noble. Although they need money, 1,500 gold coins are not enough to make them jealous.
However, this amount of money has completely different meanings for Li Sen.
"Lucky little guy, now you have money to afford those raw materials." When Li Sen took the money, the voice of the old alchemist suddenly rang in his heart, "Advisor, I asked you to keep that yellow core. It seems that it is an extremely correct decision now, right?"
"Yes, teacher." Li Sen answered very agreeably after hearing the old alchemist's words, and had deeper expectations for his ability to improve faster.
All day long, Li Sen passed by in a hurry. Li Sen, who seemed a little abnormal, didn't know that his beautiful eyes would often comment on him.
As night fell, Li Sen hurried out of the school and headed towards the market.
There are many large department stores in Carol City, but the prices are relatively expensive and the prices are rigid, and there is no room for negotiation at all. Li Sen did not intend to go in at the beginning.
Walking around the market stall, Li Sen, with the help of the powerful spiritual power of the alchemy medicine, quickly bought the herbs, fruits, and nectar he needed. Nearly a thousand gold coins had not yet been heated up, and in a blink of an eye, they were spent cleanly. Li Sen suddenly felt that he was too short of money.
"Walk thirty steps to the left, go to an alchemy stall and 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 rang in Li Sen's mind.
After hearing this, Li Sen immediately came to a stall according to the words of the old alchemist.
There are many things on the stalls, most of which are alchemy tools, followed by rough-made swords, and finally some simple hemostatic herbs.
On the Star Martial Continent, not everyone can become an alchemist, and not everyone can afford the alchemist elixirs, so most star warriors will use some alchemy tools to make some herbs for themselves.
There is a market where there is demand, so alchemy tools are not rare.
"What do you want to buy?" The stall owner said politely to Li Sen, "The things I have here are very good, the prices are absolutely the lowest in the entire market, guaranteed..."
"I plan to buy a few alchemy tools to go back and practice." Li Sen said, interrupting the stall owner's self-promotion, "Boss, I know a little bit more about how much the thing is worth. Don't shout too much before asking me to bargain with you, otherwise everyone will be boring."
"Young Master, don't worry, we always want to repeat customers in our business, and the price will definitely be affordable." The stall owner said with a smile, "You bought it and think it is affordable. If you have any needs to continue to buy it in the future, or introduce me to a few more customers, that's fine."
Li Sen smiled and began to choose things.
The students who study at Kalan Star Martial Arts Academy have been exposed to alchemy, and they will prepare a set of alchemy equipment for themselves to learn some basic alchemy. This time, Li Sen bought a set of alchemy tools and seemed unconventional, so he didn't have to worry about exposing anything.
When the stall owner saw Li Sen buy a set of alchemy equipment, he immediately introduced Li Sen more enthusiastically to him.
Li Sen didn't believe the stall owner's words. He only selected a set of alchemy equipment based on the comments of the old alchemist. Finally, he accidentally collected a small black cylinder that the old alchemist asked him to clean up and threw it into the alchemist cauldron.
"Wait, young master, the price of this tube is relatively high." The stall owner said, "It requires two hundred gold coins, and I don't know what it has. But the young master will choose it, and it is obviously a good idea to recognize the goods. This cost is quite high. Although I haven't sold it, the price I bought is very high. You can't let me lose, right?"
"You can buy this price." The old alchemist said, "It will be very useful for your cultivation in the future."
"How many in total?" Li Sen asked with a calm expression, but he put down the entire set of alchemy equipment. It seemed that the other party had shouted high prices, so he was about to turn around and leave.
"Two hundred and fifty gold." The stall owner saw Li Sen's attitude, thought for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "This is definitely the most affordable price. This time I am just trying to attract customers, so I won't make any money. If this thing was not kept and it would take up the cost, I wouldn't be willing to take action at a loss."
After hearing this, Li Sen smiled slightly. Although he knew that the other party was nonsense, the price was not difficult to accept, so he gave the other party three 100 gold crystal cards very readily.
Seeing this, the stall owner quickly found fifty gold coins and gave them to Li Sen.
After collecting the gold coins, Li Sen walked towards the alchemy department store, where only there was a pure and pure core.
Beauty economy works in any era.
At the gate of the Alchemy Department Store, two beautiful girls stood. When someone passed by, they would bow and salute and make a pleasant voice.
After placing the items at the counter, Li Sen went straight to the kernel area.
In the kernel area, Li Sen quickly bought three tier-level cores according to the instructions of the old alchemy, namely red, red and orange. With the three cores, Li Sen did not hesitate and turned to the counter to settle the settlement.
"A total of 251 gold coins." When the old man who checked out the data, Li Sen put two crystal cards with a denomination of 100 gold coins and a bag containing fifty gold coins on the table.
After rummaging over his pocket, Li Sen took out nine more silver coins. He was a little surprised to find that there was a silver coins missing in his hand!
"Not enough money?" The old man at the counter was obviously an experienced person. He knew what was going on when he saw Li Sen's expression.
"Yes." Li Sen said, "I..."
"Then I'm sorry, the transaction failed." The old man interrupted Li Sen and said, "As a moral businessman, I kindly remind you that if you don't buy it today, the price of these cores will increase tomorrow. Of course, you can also buy it alone, but there is no discount if you buy it alone. A red core of 80 gold coins, and an orange core of 150 gold coins."
"I only have one silver coin," Li Sen said, "Can you owe it first, can you send it to you tomorrow?"
"Sorry, even a copper coin is not enough. Our business has no credit." The old man said, "Okay, put the things down, go back and prepare the money before you come, but it's faster. If you haven't arrived yet, I'll put these kernels back on the sales shelf before we close the door."
When Li Sen heard such inhumane words, he was immediately embarrassed. Now that he was asked to rush back, there was no time left.
After looking around, Li Sen suddenly saw a familiar person beside him.
"Qin Wa." When Li Sen saw that person, his mood suddenly fluctuated and he shouted to the other party.
"Li Sen? Are you here? Buy the kernel?" Qin Wa quickly turned around and walked over, and a delicate face appeared in front of Li Sen. The double eyelids under the long eyelashes blinked, looking particularly beautiful and charming.
"Yes." Li Sen smiled awkwardly, "Qin Wa, I have something I want to ask you for help?"
"Well, okay." Qin Wa said, "What's the matter?" At this time, Qin Wa was a little cheering, but at the same time she was also a little complaining. She followed Li Sen for most of the day, and this wood actually waited until now to notice her. It was really hurting the self-esteem of the eldest lady of the Qin family...
"This... can I borrow a silver coin?" Li Sen spoke, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I want to buy the kernel, but the money is not enough, and I'm missing a silver coin."
"Oh?" Qin Wa heard this and smiled slightly. She came to the old man, took out a golden sign, shook it in front of the old man, and then said, "Butler, he is my classmate. I want to help him purchase the kernel. Please discount it according to the gold card. How much does it cost now?"
When the old man saw the sign, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly stood up, bowed to Qin Wa, and said, "It turns out that the eldest lady is here, but the eldest lady has spoken. Then this transaction can only charge the cost price, he only needs to pay 200 gold coins."
After hearing the old man's words, Li Sen realized that this business was run by the Qin family...
On the street, a tall noble lady walked side by side with the young and handsome young master, which attracted many commentary eyes. People looked at the two with calm expressions and were curious whether they were lovers or when they happened to be together. The two were very close and had the same steps, clearly knowing each other, but they were like strangers, without talking to each other, which seemed very strange.
"Qin Wa, thank you." Li Sen said at the school gate, "If it weren't for you today, maybe I..."
"Haha, no thanks." Qin Wa smiled and said, "If you still want to buy a kernel in the future, you can call me."
"This...thank you," Li Sen said with a smile, looking a little hesitant.
When Qin Wa heard this, she smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else.
At the school gate, the two of them stood quietly.
After a little 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 old alchemy man came out of the divine world. He smiled and said to Li Sen: "Advisor, this little girl is interesting to you. As long as you spend some thoughts and enter the Qin family as an alchemist, I think that cores and precious herbs are not a problem."
"Teacher, you should just prepare nutrient solution for me." Li Sen immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Besides, relying on a woman to make a living is not what I want. Although I don't mean to despise women, I can't accept this kind of life in my heart."
The old alchemist was slightly stunned after hearing Li Sen's words, and then laughed: "I had this temper back then, but in the end I ended up being alone... Forget it, I won't talk about the past. Since you don't have this mind, then learn some alchemy knowledge first."
When Li Sen heard this, he knew that the matter was coming, and immediately took up a serious attitude.
"Fragrant fruit is one of the most common essential items for alchemy. Many women also like to use fragrant fruit to change their body odor. The fundamental reason is that fragrant fruit has strong penetration." The old alchemist took out a fragrant fruit and opened his mouth to explain. "However, fragrant fruit is not only strong penetration, because it has extremely mild medicinal properties and basically does not conflict with any medicine. Therefore, alchemists often use it when refining alchemy. Many pills have aroma because they are actually using fragrant fruit."
In the Xingwu Continent, the alchemy industry has always been shrouded in a mysterious halo.
People are curious, and Li Sen has always been very curious about alchemy. Now, the magical veil of alchemy has gradually been untied under the explanation of the old alchemy. Li Sen discovered that alchemy actually has so many truths.
"Nine-Legged Orchids can strengthen flesh, muscles and bones, but their penetration is not good, so they need to use the penetration of incense fruit to enter the body." The old alchemist said, "However, after entering the body, the Nine-Legged Orchids will consume people's essence and blood, so they need to use the core of the demon to make up for the loss of the essence and blood of the human body. This is why I asked you to buy the core. The honey of the hundred flowers is sweet and nourishing, and the human body can directly absorb the molasses. After grinding the core of the demon into powder, mixing the honey of the hundred flowers can make use of the core powder to the greatest extent..."
After more experience, Li Sen's essential understanding of many principles naturally has many advantages that his peers do not have.
Alchemy requires many principles in medicine. As soon as the old alchemist mentioned it, Li Sen understood that with the old alchemist's explanation, Li Sen gradually understood many things that need to be considered in alchemist, and at the same time, he also understood why the old alchemist bought medicinal materials for him like this.
When the old alchemist was explaining, he saw Li Sen's expression of enlightenment from time to time, and a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face: With such understanding, it will be much easier to learn alchemy next.
"When strengthening the body, the more herbs, the better. The more skilled alchemist, the simpler the medicine you use." The old alchemist spoke, then walked to the three cores that Li Sen bought, took out a red core, and continued to say to Li Sen: "Many alchemists do not understand the properties of medicine, and ended up refining a bunch of medicines that are not irrelevant. For example, the department store you went to today, the medicines of many elixirs in conflict. Although they are effective after taking them, they have such a big side effect on the people who take them. Those elixirs can be completely classified as garbage failed products."
Li Sen listened quietly. When the old alchemist belittled and despised the pills refined by other alchemists, he did not follow suit, but listened carefully to what should be paid attention to, and had no disrespect to other alchemists.
The old alchemist was paying attention to Li Sen. Seeing that Li Sen's expression was still serious, without any superiority or contempt, he felt even more satisfied. Then he picked up a red core, and a pale flame rose up in his palm, and slowly burned it.
The red core was burned by the old alchemist, and the core itself looked intact and looked extremely magical.
Not long after, the old alchemist took back the soul fire in his hand, and then he divided the core into two halves, half throwing it 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 wise alchemist, but he is also a very wise lecturer. Li Sen can easily understand many alchemist principles from his words. By the time of night, Li Sen had basically understood many alchemist principles. After dinner, Li Sen took the nectar prepared by the old alchemist, and jumped into the prepared potion bucket.
It hurts so much!
Li Sen just entered the medicine barrel and immediately took a breath of air conditioning. He felt as if he had been stabbed by needles on his body, and he wanted to jump out of the water immediately.
"Don't stand up." The soul of the old alchemist suddenly floated in front of Li Sen. "Once you leave the water surface, the effect of the medicine will become weaker. Be patient, you must hold it back. If you don't want to live in humiliation, you must definitely bear this pain."
"Yes, teacher." Li Sen spoke, his mouth as if it was leaking, his voice seemed a little distorted. The pain made his eyes burst out with blood, and his veins burst out on his neck, and his handsome face seemed a little distorted.
