Ten trillion

After hearing Meng Die's words, Zhang Feng's face was particularly surprised.

Because he had never thought that such characters as alchemists would still exist in today's society!

In the pre-Qin period, alchemists were still very common.

After all, at that time, the overall level of medical care was not very developed, so if people were sick or injured, they would generally choose to boil traditional Chinese medicine or take pills to treat them.

At that time, the main function of pills was to cure diseases and save lives, and a few of them were used to strengthen the body.

But Zhang Feng didn't expect that martial artists would also take pills!

"Are there still many alchemists?"

Zhang Feng turned his head to look at Meng Die and asked softly at Meng Die.

"Not much more ......"

Meng Die gently shook her head, and then continued: "In fact, the profession of alchemist is about to disappear, after all, alchemy is very complicated to learn, and there is also the fact that now ordinary people do not need pills at all, only martial artists need pills, alchemists who can refine the pills that martial artists need are not common, and my grandfather has long since stopped refining pills ......".

"So that's how it is ......"

Zhang Feng looked at Meng Die and nodded lightly, not saying anything more.

"Young Master Zhang, I think that Yu Ruyan's purchase of so many precious herbs should also have something to do with alchemists, and I suspect that Yu Ruyan should have known some powerful alchemists, which is why she bought so many precious herbs ......"

Meng Die whispered at Zhang Feng.

"Alchemist?"

Zhang Feng's eyes flashed with a strange look.

"Young Master Zhang, I also think that this possibility is very high, our martial artists still have a great demand for pills, if any big family can have an alchemist and produce pills in large quantities, then any single pill could be worth tens of millions of dollars, these costs of medicinal materials are nothing in front of the alchemist ......."

Long Chao, who has not been very talkative, also said softly.

After hearing the words of Long Chao and Meng Die, Zhang Feng instantly understood what was going on.

He then said in a low voice, "You two are saying that Yu Ruyan has found a powerful alchemist, and that is why she is buying large quantities of herbs, but in fact, the purpose is to set up a production line so that the alchemist can refine large quantities of pills and make profits from them, right?"

"That's right, Young Master Zhang I think that's what should happen, otherwise Yu Ruyan couldn't have spent so much money on herbs!"

Meng Die nodded gently.

"I didn't know there was such a way to make money. ......"

Zhang Feng smiled faintly.

"The highest cost of refining a pill is a few million, but the price at which a pill is sold is at least tens of millions of dollars, so this profit is directly multiplied several times, if anyone is able to master this market, it is unimaginable ......"

Long Chao looked at Zhang Feng and said.

"......"

When Zhang Feng heard this, his eyes flashed with a strange look.

If Zhang Feng was able to grasp this market, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

But helplessly, Zhang Feng didn't even know any alchemists, nor did he have the skills!

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do this, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do this.

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, I came over this time mainly to look for those medicinal herbs that Ye Jieqiu needs, although the medicinal herbs are still missing a lot, but these ordinary medicinal herbs can be sent to Fang Zhihua to help me find, the main thing is still the medicinal herbs inside the Hongcai Cave, that is the most critical ......".

Zhang Feng said in a low voice.

Meng Die was stunned after hearing Zhang Feng's words, then hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhang, I asked the people here about the Hongcai Cave, but they all said that the Hongcai Cave is very dangerous ......".

"If it wasn't dangerous, Ye wouldn't have let me come over!"

Zhang Feng replied indifferently.

Meng Die looked up and down at Zhang Feng, and then said softly, "Young Master Zhang, since you insist on going there, then I won't advise you, I know a person, he is the only one in the entire Pill King Valley who has been to the Hongcai Cave and returned alive, he should know the exact location of the Hongcai Cave, so if you want to go to the Hongcai Cave, we can ask that person to lead the way, after all, if there is someone who knows the way, we can make it a lot easier ......".

"Okay, let's just have that guy lead the way ......"

Zhang Feng lightly nodded his head.

"But ......"

Meng Die looked up at Zhang Feng, and the expression on her face looked a little difficult.

"But what?"

Zhang Feng frowned and asked.

"But this person's personality is rather odd, and if we want this person to lead the way, we might have to have a good chat with him ......"

Meng Die said slowly.

"This kind of thing isn't simple, if he doesn't agree to show us the way, I'll just beat him up ......."

Long Chao said expressionlessly.

"This kind of thing can't be rough, after all, he is the only person in the entire Pill King Valley who knows the location of the Hongcave, if we offend this person, then things will be troublesome, so it's better to have a good chat with him, if the other party has any demands, just try to satisfy him ......"

Zhang Feng said softly to Long Chao.

Zhang Feng also knew that Long Chao was well-intentioned, but he was too simple-minded and always preferred to use force to solve problems.

In today's society, not every problem can be solved by force.

"Then young master Zhang I'll take you to meet with that person?"

Meng Die asked softly at Zhang Feng.

"OK ......"

Zhang Feng nodded lightly, and then walked directly towards the outside of the manor.

After leaving the manor, Meng Die led Zhang Feng around the Pill King Valley and finally stopped in front of an ancient building.

The door of the building was open, and Zhang Feng could clearly see a middle-aged man sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard, resting.

The middle-aged man was a bit ugly-looking, and was wearing a black training uniform that gave him the impression of being an out-of-this-world person.

"Uncle Zhou ......"

As soon as Meng Die entered the courtyard, she smiled and shouted at the location of the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man saw Meng Die come in, he couldn't help but frown, then said with a smile, "So it's Miss Meng Die, come in quickly ......".

Meng Die hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhang Feng, and then led Zhang Feng Longchao and the two of them towards the middle-aged man's position.

After arriving in front of the middle-aged man, Meng Die opened her mouth and wanted to introduce Zhang Feng's identity.

But before Meng Die could speak, the middle-aged man took the initiative to ask at Zhang Feng, "You guys are going to the Hongcai Cave, right?"

After Zhang Feng heard the middle-aged man's words, he froze in place with a very shocked expression on his face.

Because he couldn't figure out how the middle-aged man knew the purpose of his visit!
