In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 27: Business Comes to Him
Although the black market for this talent was illegal, it was unexpectedly orderly. It even has an exclusive management agency to handle all sorts of issues. Clearly, there was a large faction that supported this and it did not just appear.
The first thing Chu Yunfan did when he arrived at the talent black market was to go to the management agency, which was located in a skyscraper.
He paid 5,000 coins to apply for a kiosk on the talent black market. It was the smallest stall, and could be rented for 5,000 per day. As for what he was going to sell, the black market talent did not care. They didn't even ask about her background or name.
If they were to ask a question, perhaps they would scare many people and people would not dare to come. Although the black market of talent operates openly, it is a black market after all. Those who come to look for business are still illegal.
It operates just like all black markets. They will not ask about a person's background or what they will do. They just do what they should. Since it was a black market, of course, the dog-eating-dog situation was inevitable. One can only depend on oneself.
Chu Yunfan rented a small kiosk, and he put up ‘Cleaning all kinds of medicinal pills at a discount!’ on the digital screen in front of it.
He then sat with his legs crossed. He was cultivating while waiting for customers to come to him.
Although the stall he applied for was located in a rather remote area on the talent black market, the pedestrian traffic was quite high. There were many people who came to inquire about alchemy in the morning.
However, they soon lost interest once they heard that he only had an advanced alchemy apprentice license.
Chu Yunfan looked like a teenager, which was another reason no one believed him. Those medicinal pills would cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of coins, so no one was willing to take the risk.
Finally, a slender figure approached Chu Yunfan. He raised his head and saw a woman with a slim body in front of him. He looked to be around 20 years old and had very beautiful features. She wears proper makeup and a neat professional uniform.
“You are really arrogant to say that you can refine any kind of medicinal pill. Can you really do that?” His hesitation was clearly visible as it flashed across his face.
It sounded like he had met many alchemists. Normally, all alchemists on such a talented black market would make a list of all the medicinal pills they could refine so that it was convenient for the client to choose. Normally, no one had the courage to say that they could refine all kinds of medicinal pills.
“I wouldn't dare say that I can fix everything, but most common medicinal pills shouldn't be a problem for me!” Chu Yun Fan said.
The young lady was clearly more hesitant and asked, “Do you have an alchemist license?”
“Omong empty. Of course I don't have an alchemist license. Would I be on this black market if I had one? I will go to the regular talent market!”
Chu Yunfan became somewhat impatient. This woman seemed to be skeptical and seemed to ridicule him with her question.
“You ...” Chu Yunfan had triggered the young lady, but what he said next quickly calmed her down.
“Will I be here if I don't have the right tools or talent? Do you think I'm applying for a stall here with 5,000 coins per day just to waste your time? Chu Yun Fan said.
The woman thought about it and found it reasonable. Those who come to the black market are usually not good people. Some even plan to do something dangerous there. Nobody would be bored enough to propose to a kiosk just to waste people's time.
Although he was a little irritable, he was unwilling to give up on this client. Of all the potential clients that came in the morning, he was the only one who did not leave immediately. It seemed like he had a greater urgency than the others. Although he looked like a teenager who did not even have an alchemist license, he was unwilling to give up on the opportunity.
After considering, the woman said, “I am thinking of refining a number of Body Refining Pills!”
“Pil Body Purification? Why don't you go to the Alchemist Association alone?” Chu Yunfan asked somewhat doubtfully.
This woman is something else. The Body Refining Pill was an ordinary medicinal pill that was legally sold. It was not a controlled medicinal pill, so the fastest way to obtain it was to go to the Alchemist Association directly.
Moreover, he obviously did not eat it himself because he wanted to fix it. He definitely planned to sell it. Why did he come to the black market of talent to do legitimate business?
Although black market talent is usually superior in terms of price, there are all sorts of dangers there. No one dared to act recklessly in the market, but it would be a different story as soon as they left.
With the demand for the Body Refining Pill, profits were guaranteed even if one sought alchemists in the Alchemist Association to refine it. Fewer people would come to the black market of talent looking for alchemists without permission to do such work.
Usually, those who come to them want to refine some unapproved and unusual medicinal pills, or illegal drugs that are officially banned.
Although the excavation and restoration work of the Ancient Zenith Civilization was mostly done by the Federation government, in fact, there were many consortia, large corporations, large sects, and Saint Lands with their own reclamation teams. That was how many prescription drugs ended up on their hands. They will then be shared with interested parties through various channels.
Not all factions have the ability to train their own alchemists. In this case, the talent black market would be the best choice.
There were many illegal medicines that the Alchemy Emperor was familiar with in Chu Yunfan's memories. These drugs are illegal because they are not thoroughly researched or have excessive side effects on the human body.
“You don't need to know why I came to you. Let me ask you this, since you said that you can refine all kinds of medicinal pills, can you refine a Body Refining Pill or not? ask the woman.
“It's just a Body Purification Pill. Naturally, it will not be a problem at all!” Chu Yun Fan nodded. Although he hesitated, he decided to take the job in the end. He didn't care why he came to the black market.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to make a bucket of gold. Many of the things he planned would be much easier with money.
The thing that Chu Yunfan lacked the most right now was seed money. The path of cultivation in the future would be a process of spending a lot of money. It's just the beginning.
Since the woman said she wanted to purify a number of Body Refining Pills, the number would be high. He might be able to make the 400,000 coins he needed.
“By the way, I can't just trust you. You must first prove your abilities! ” the woman said seriously.
“Sure, it doesn't matter at all!”
