Chapter 178: Alchemy, a Big Bang (Page 13)
As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, Liu Ruyan came up to Chen Yu, fanning herself and exhaling sweetly, "Master Chen, don't forget to bring me along for the next live broadcast."
When she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally covered half of her face with a fan, leaving only a pair of charming eyes exposed, which added a bit of mystery and temptation.
Chen Yu's gaze fell on her seductive eyes, and he felt itchy in his heart, but he said seriously: "Of course, Fairy Liu is so beautiful and charming. With you here, the popularity of the live broadcast room will definitely explode."
Shangguan Wan'er was unhappy when she heard this, and pouted: "Brother Chen Yu, you are biased!
Why do you only praise Sister Liu and not me? " As she spoke, she walked in front of Chen Yu, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she was going to settle a score.
Chen Yu looked at her angry expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, Wan'er is pretty and cute, okay?"
As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed Shangguan Wan'er's little head, like coaxing a child.
Shangguan Wan'er then smiled with satisfaction, revealing two cute dimples.
Lin Qingxue stood aside, watching them play quietly. Although there was no expression on her face, there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes.
She said, "Chen Yu, your live broadcast does have great potential, but the content needs to be richer.
It’s probably difficult to attract audiences for a long time just by relying on talent shows.”
Chen Yu put away his smile and thought seriously about Lin Qingxue's words. He knew that Lin Qingxue was right. If live streaming wanted to develop in the long term, it must have the ability to continuously output high-quality content.
"Qingxue is right," Chen Yu nodded, "I was just thinking about what to perform in the next live broadcast.
The audience will get tired of seeing things like shattering rocks with chests and flying with swords.”
He touched his chin, thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I got it!
Next time I live stream, I’ll perform alchemy!”
"Alchemy?" Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!
Alchemy is an essential skill for cultivators, so it will definitely attract a lot of viewers."
Shangguan Wan'er also clapped her hands excitedly: "Great, great, I want to watch Brother Chen Yu make the elixir!"
Although Luo Li didn't say anything, she nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Lin Qingxue looked at Chen Yu with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Are you sure you can refine the elixir?
I remember you didn't seem to have any experience in successfully refining it before."
She spoke hesitantly, as if she didn't quite believe in Chen Yu's alchemy skills.
Chen Yu was choked by Lin Qingxue's words and his face turned slightly red.
He had indeed never been able to refine the elixir, and his previous attempts had all ended in furnace explosions.
However, he was thick-skinned and this little embarrassment was nothing.
He coughed twice and pretended to be calm: "Ahem, that was all in the past!
My alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds, so refining pills shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"
As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, pretending to be confident.
Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Mr. Chen, you are just bragging. If you can really refine the elixir, I will... I will..." When she said this, she deliberately paused, her eyes moving, looking at Chen Yu with a smile.
"What about you?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
Liu Ruyan leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "I will pledge my love to you."
She spoke so softly that only Chen Yu could hear her.
Chen Yu's heart surged with excitement upon hearing this, and he almost lost control. He suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm: "It's a deal!"
Lin Qingxue looked at the two of them flirting with each other and felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
She simply reminded him lightly, "Alchemy is no joke. If you are not careful, the furnace will explode, and it may even endanger your life.
You'd better be careful." Chen Yu nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
He knew that Lin Qingxue cared about him, and his heart felt warm.
"Then let's start preparing now!" Shangguan Wan'er said impatiently.
Chen Yu looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, let's go buy some alchemy materials first."
As he spoke, he took out a list from his storage bag, which was densely filled with the names of various medicinal herbs.
This was the alchemy formula he had exchanged in the system mall before, called "Vajra Pills". It was said that taking it could increase strength and improve cultivation.
"So many medicinal herbs?" Liu Ruyan looked at the list and couldn't help but gasp. "This must cost a lot of money, right?"
Chen Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have money." As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist, looking very wealthy.
Lin Qingxue felt a little more at ease when she saw Chen Yu's confident look.
She knew that although Chen Yu seemed unreliable, he could still be trusted at critical moments.
"Then let's go." Lin Qingxue said.
So, the five of them left the valley together and went to the nearby market to purchase materials for alchemy.
The market town is located in a small town called Luoxia Town. The town is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery, and there is an endless stream of immortal cultivators coming and going.
Chen Yu and his group of five walked on the busy street, attracting a lot of attention.
After all, four beauties with different styles are a beautiful scenery wherever they go.
Chen Yu walked in front, holding a list in his hand, and checking the shops on the roadside from time to time.
Lin Qingxue walked beside Chen Yu, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, always paying attention to the situation around him.
Liu Ruyan followed behind Chen Yu, covering half of her face with a fan from time to time, and flirting with the male cultivators passing by, which attracted bursts of whistles.
Shangguan Wan'er was like a happy little bird, jumping and skipping among the crowd, full of curiosity about everything.
Luo Li followed silently at the end, without saying a word, as if she was not interested in anything around her.
"Mr. Chen, look at this shop. It seems to have the herbs you are looking for."
Liu Ruyan pointed to a shop called "Baicaotang" on the side of the road and said.
Chen Yu looked up and saw that the shop was not big, but it was decorated in an antique style. There was a plaque hanging at the door with three big characters "Baicaotang" written on it.
He walked over and carefully looked at the medicinal herbs displayed in the window, and found that there were indeed a few that he needed.
"Let's go in and take a look." Chen Yu said, pushing open the door of the shop.
The shop is not big, but it is filled with various medicinal herbs, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
An old man in a gray robe was sitting behind the counter, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it with great interest.
Chen Yu walked over and knocked on the counter gently: "Old sir, do you have these herbs here?"
He said, handing over the list.
The old man raised his head, glanced at Chen Yu, then looked at the list, and said slowly: "I have all these herbs here, but the price..."
"The price is negotiable." Chen Yu said with a smile, "As long as the quality of the herbs is good, the price is not a problem."
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My friend, you are straightforward!
That's easy. These herbs will cost a total of one hundred spirit stones."
"One hundred spirit stones?" Chen Yu was stunned. This price was too expensive!
"Why, do you think it's too expensive?" the old man asked with narrowed eyes.
"It's not that I think it's too expensive," Chen Yu explained, "but I don't have that many spirit stones on me. Can you... give me a discount?"
The old man shook his head and said, "My friend, these herbs are all top-grade goods, and the price is very fair.
If you really want to buy it, I can give you a 10% discount, 90 spirit stones, how about that? "
Chen Yu thought about it and decided that although ninety spirit stones were still a bit expensive, it was within his affordability.
He nodded. "Okay, deal."
As he spoke, he took out ninety spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.
The old man put away the spirit stone, packed up the herbs with a smile, and handed them to Chen Yu: "My friend, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Chen Yu took the herbs and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After leaving Baicaotang, Chen Yu looked at the list and found that a few medicinal herbs were still missing.
He continued walking up the street, looking for other pharmacies.
"Mr. Chen, look over there, there seems to be a newly opened store."
Liu Ruyan pointed to a luxuriously decorated store not far away and said.
Chen Yu looked in the direction of Liu Ruyan's finger. The shop had a spacious frontage and was magnificently decorated. A huge plaque hung at the door with three large gold-plated characters "Treasure Pavilion" written on it.
"Treasure Pavilion?" Chen Yu repeated, "The name sounds impressive."
"Let's go and take a look." Liu Ruyan suggested.
Chen Yu nodded and took the four girls to the Treasure Pavilion.
The door of the Treasure Pavilion was open, and the lights were on inside. People were coming and going, and it was very lively.
Chen Yu walked in and found that there were a wide variety of goods inside, including various magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans.
A gorgeously dressed young woman came forward with a professional smile on her face: "Dear guests, welcome to the Treasure Pavilion.
What can I do for you?
Chen Yu handed over the list: "I want to see if you have these herbs here."
The woman took the list, looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "We have all these herbs here.
However, some herbs are rare and may be slightly more expensive.”
"Price is not an issue," Chen Yu said. "As long as the quality of the herbs is good, that's all that matters."
The woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, dear customer. The quality of the products in our Treasure Pavilion is guaranteed."
As she spoke, she took out the herbs Chen Yu needed one by one and placed them on the counter.
Chen Yu took a look at the medicinal herbs and found that the quality was indeed good, even better than those from Baicaotang.
He nodded with satisfaction: "I want all these herbs.
How much is it in total?
The woman calculated and said, "A total of 150 spirit stones are needed."
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones?" Chen Yu was stunned. This price was half as expensive as Baicaotang!
The woman explained: "Dear guest, these medicinal herbs are rare and naturally more expensive.
Furthermore, our Treasure Pavilion's reputation is guaranteed, so you can absolutely rest assured when purchasing."
Chen Yu thought about it. Although the price was a bit high, he couldn't care less in order to refine high-quality pills.
He nodded. "Okay, deal."
As he spoke, he took out 150 spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.
The woman put away the spirit stone, packed up the herbs with a smile, and handed them to Chen Yu: "Dear guest, please keep them."
Chen Yu took the herbs and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Chen Yu took the heavy package of medicinal herbs from the woman in the Treasure Pavilion. The touch of it made him feel more at ease.
This was a treasure he had purchased with one hundred and fifty spirit stones. If he failed in refining the elixir, it would be a real pain.
He stuffed the package into the storage bag, turned to the four beauties behind him and said, "Okay, we've bought all the herbs, let's go back."
Liu Ruyan waved her fan, her charming eyes sweeping over the dazzling array of goods in the Treasure Pavilion, as if she still wanted to take a look: "Master Chen, don't you want to take another look?
There are so many treasures in here.”
