The reason why alchemists can enjoy such treatment is naturally related to their rarity and practicality. To become an alchemist, the conditions are extremely harsh.
First of all, the attribute of the alchemist must be fire. Secondly, the fire body must also be mixed with a trace of wood energy to act as a catalyst for alchemy.
You must know that the attributes of the human body in the Douqi Continent depend on their souls. A soul will always have only one attribute and it is impossible to have other attributes mixed.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for a body to have two different attributes of strength.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Among hundreds of millions of people, there will always be some mutant souls, and those with mutant souls have the potential to become an alchemist.
However, having a soul with fire and wood attributes alone still cannot make you a real alchemist.
Because another necessary condition for an alchemist is also indispensable, that is: the perception of the soul is also called the soul shaping power.
Under these harsh conditions, people who are qualified to become alchemists are of course rare.
With fewer alchemists, those magical pills are naturally rare. Scarcity makes things valuable, which is why the alchemist has such a noble and even somewhat abnormal status.
Like Hai Bodong and Tianhuo Zunzhe in the original novel, they went through life and death countless times to ask Xiao Yan to make medicine. In the end, Xiao Yan delivered the pills and they had to thank him and owe him a favor.
This shows how high the status of alchemists is!
The next day.
"Lin Feng, you are finally here. Now go to the back door to help load the goods." In the business, the shopkeeper saw Lin Feng coming and hurriedly called him, looking a little anxious.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Seeing the shopkeeper's look, Lin Feng was also a little curious, so he asked, "Shopkeeper, why are you so anxious?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper put his hands behind his back, raised his head proudly, and showed off, "You were not here yesterday, of course you don't know. Shopkeeper, when I went to Zhenbei City yesterday, I met a first-class alchemist in Wanhua Tower. I found out about the master's hobbies, gritted my teeth, and spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a snake girl and sent it over."
At this point, the shopkeeper thought of the charming and seductive snake girl yesterday, and a trace of heat and reluctance flashed in his eyes, and then was filled with excitement.
Clapping his hands, he said excitedly, "After receiving the snake girl, Master Liu Xi has agreed that not only will he hand over the medicinal materials needed for his future alchemy to our company, but also that the master will sell 20% of the medicine he refines every month to us."
The shopkeeper thought of the endless huge profits in the future, and couldn't help but start to imagine the happy life in the future.
Hearing this, Lin Feng already understood why the shopkeeper was so happy today.
The business he worked for was one of the best in Wutan City, with a net profit of several thousand gold coins each month. If he could get a first-grade alchemist, the profit would probably double.
Wait, Liu Xi?
Lin Feng thought about it. Isn't this the alchemist who helped the Jialie family and the Xiao family in the original book?
He remembered that Liu Xi was also a disciple of a third-grade alchemist, so his family property should be quite rich.
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
"By the way, I was so happy today that I almost forgot. Go and help now. If you delay me from delivering the herbs to Master Liu Xi, I will make you suffer." The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that Lin Feng was still here and shouted.
"I'll go now." Lin Feng replied, and then ran towards the back door.
Zhenbei City.
Lin Feng followed the freight team of the merchant company to Liu Xi's residence. After unloading all the medicinal materials with everyone, he ran to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to resign."
"Resign?" Hearing Lin Feng's words, the shopkeeper was stunned and asked, "When?"
Lin Feng replied, "Today."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned and said, "Today? So urgent?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. After his indirect inquiries for a month, he had learned about Liu Xi's life trajectory from the shopkeeper.
Now is a good time to realize his plan. If he misses this time, he will have to wait for a few more months.
"Okay." The shopkeeper didn't care too much about a porter. He took out a few gold coins and said, "This is your salary for this period of time." "
Thank you, shopkeeper." Lin Feng took the gold coins and left the place with a huge cloth bag on his back.
After walking a distance, Lin Feng quickly turned around and ran out of the city .
He ran a few miles along the main road and found a suitable tree in the woods next to him and climbed up in a few steps.
Holding a 100-jin black powder pack in his hand, Lin Feng carefully hid on a big tree, patiently waiting for the target to arrive.
His target this time was Liu Xi!
Since Lin Feng learned about Liu Xi's information from the shopkeeper a month ago, he was entangled for a while and decided to take a risk and began to plan to kill Liu Xi.
If successful, he would not only get advanced skills, but also various items needed to learn alchemy.
Later, after some indirect inquiries, he learned about Liu Xi's life trajectory from the shopkeeper.
It was learned that Teacher Liu Xi lived in another city not far from Zhenbei City. The reason why Liu Xi came to Zhenbei City was to avoid his teacher's supervision.
However, Liu Xi would go to see his teacher once every once in a while, and today was the day when Liu Xi went to see his teacher.
Although he knew Liu Xi's schedule, Lin Feng's cultivation of the tenth stage of fighting power was obviously not as good as Liu Xi, not to mention that he had several fighters guarding him. Therefore, Lin Feng played the advantage of being a time traveler, and after a while, he made a black powder explosive pack!
Although it is difficult to kill a fighter with this thing head-on, it is still very likely to kill with a sneak attack.
After Lin Feng waited for a while, four strong men supporting a young man in white slowly appeared in his sight.
The young man in white, who was in the lead, looked about 20 years old and quite handsome, but the obscenity that flashed from time to time in his eyes destroyed this appearance.
At this time, the young man's face was full of impatience. Obviously, his daily sexual life in Zhenbei City made him not want to see his teacher.
Seeing everyone approaching, Lin Feng's eyes flashed a little crazy.
After traveling through time once, he just wanted to make himself live better, but the Douqi Continent was too cruel. If he couldn't become stronger, he could only be bullied!
When the few people came not far from the tree, they quickly lit the fuse on it with a fire stick, threw it down, and then quickly hugged the tree trunk and hid behind it.
He had tested the burning time of the fuse, and it was less than two seconds. In addition, these fighters did not know what the explosive pack was, so they were unlikely to dodge it.
"Huh?"
"Who is it?!"
The people below saw something suddenly flying towards them from above, and shouted loudly, instinctively picking up their weapons to block it.
Two of the strong men even drew their weapons and stabbed in the direction of the explosive pack.
At the moment when the explosive pack was about to touch the weapons of the people, a dazzling light was emitted, and then everyone only heard a loud "bang", and the cloth bag exploded above their heads.
A large number of broken iron pieces in the cloth bag were also rushed to the surroundings by the hot air flow, and many branches of the trees in the surrounding forest were cut off one after another, and more were immersed in the bodies of Liu Xi and others.
Several people below were also knocked several meters away by the impact of the explosion, and two unlucky guys were even directly blown into several pieces.
As the explosion fell, a large number of pieces of meat and internal organs fell to the ground along with the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees.
After a while, seeing that there was no movement below, Lin Feng's hands and feet became weak, and he trembled down the tree. Looking at the debris on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His action this time could be described as a failure or death, but seeing the limbs on the ground, Lin Feng suddenly felt a little nauseous.
But he also knew that the people around him would definitely come here after hearing the noise, so he suppressed his nausea and groped in the broken meat.
"Hey, there's something."
Looking at the ring that was taken from Liu Xi's finger, Lin Feng grinned. The property of a first-class alchemist was a huge sum of money for him now.
However, he didn't have the time to count it carefully now, so he continued to search after putting it away.
Not long after, Lin Feng had a few more scrolls and gold coin cards in his hands, and looking at the gold coins scattered on the ground, there were probably about a few thousand.
"Forget it, let's leave here quickly. With such a loud noise, others must be on their way."
Picking up the things he had just seized, Lin Feng casually picked up a piece of rag to wipe the blood on it, ran to the woods, led out the horse that had been prepared long ago, and quickly rode away from here.
A few hours later, Lin Feng came to a cave and decided to practice here before going on his way. Otherwise, if he encountered robbers or bandits, he would not be able to deal with them without practicing martial arts.
He took out the ring he got from Liu Xi, and his soul perception slowly penetrated into the ring in his palm. After a moment, a touch of unconcealable joy surged on his face.
Liu Xi's collection in the ring is extremely rich, with martial arts fighting skills, prescriptions, medicine tripods, gold coins, elixirs, and medicinal materials that he urgently needs now.
"No wonder the ancients said that killing and arson will bring you a golden belt. It's true!" Looking at the ring in his palm, he sighed.
He took out a scroll and read the small words on it: "Intermediate Xuan-level skills, Red Fire Art!"
Then he picked up several other scrolls. Except for a low-level Xuan-level fighting skill, Red Fire Palm, the others were prescriptions for first- and second-grade elixirs.
Seeing the fighting skills, Lin Feng was a little disappointed. He originally thought that the fighting skills would be intermediate Xuan-level like the skills, but he didn't expect it to be a low-level Xuan-level scroll. It seems that Liu Xi doesn't like fighting.
However, this volume of fighting skills and skills are matched. When they are used, they should be stronger than ordinary fighting skills of the same level.
After a while, Lin Feng counted the harvest and curiously picked up a gold coin card to take a look. This was the first time he saw a bank card on the Douqi Continent.
The gold coin card is similar to the savings card of Blue Star. There is a number of 100,000 on it. It seems that it should be the balance in the card.
Putting away the card, Lin Feng picked up the volume of intermediate Xuan-level skills and began to practice.
Everyone, if you have seen it, can you give a comment?
