The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 371
After dealing with Duan Zheng Zhi, Ling Han naturally did not need to change his appearance anymore. Accompanied by the wobble of the carriage, he traveled far to his destination. When he reached the Extreme Yang City, his cultivation had reached the mid-period of the third layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, but the bad news was that he had used up all of the Origin Crystals, so right now he is really poor.
The cultivation of Guang Yuan had also fallen back to the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Level, and after a period of time of over a month spent on cultivation, he had just broken through to the second layer, he had just broken through to the second layer, which was not much different from Can Ye. Even if the two Origin Crystals were to endlessly rest or sleep, they would only be able to supply two Origin Crystals within a month, and they would only be Single Origin Star Crystals.
How sad!
Ling Han sighed. When he entered Extreme Yang City, he handed the last Origin Crystal over to him as a registration fee to enter the city. Registration only needs to be done once, and in the future, it does not need to pay an additional fee for the next entry.
In order to save money, he did not even let Liu Yu Tong and the others out.
Now, the first step was not to find the two main ingredients left for the Restore Spirit Pill, but rather to earn money first. Without money, could he be planning to steal? Even if he wanted to, he should have the ability to do so first.
The Extreme Yang City was the commercial center of the entire northern region. This was a very lively place, and there were two colossal forces here: The Alchemist Society and the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. The headquarters of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was still called the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, but the place where the Alchemist Society was located was called the "North Pill Palace Hall". It occupied nearly one-tenth of the total area of the entire city. There were many martial artists and alchemists living inside. There was also a gigantic medicinal farm that provided ingredients for the daily potions of alchemists.
It was said that this medicinal farm had an enormous Spirit Gathering Array on it, which allowed the Spiritual Qi within to become extremely dense and accelerate the growth of the Spirit Grass. In order to maintain the circulation of this Spirit Gathering Array, the number of Origin Crystals consumed each day was enormous. It was likely that even the Winter Moon Sect would shiver at this sky-high figure.
In terms of wealth, there were two major parties that were at the top of the hierarchy in the northern region: The Alchemist Society and the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Only these two great parties could burn Origin Crystals like that.
When Ling Han heard that, he could not help but feel his hands itching. He was eager to enter this medicinal field in the Northern Pill Palace Hall and took out a few stalks from each type of Spirit Grass to be transplanted into the Black Tower to refine his medicinal field. Only in the Black Tower could it be called a real field of medicine!
His mind wanders too far. The priority now is to make money, make money!
Ling Han planned to open a shop to sell alchemy pills, along with a restaurant, to gather Origin Crystals non-stop for him.
. . . Auctioning a high-level alchemy pill would indeed obtain a high price, but the problem was, the less something happened, the greater the value. If he pulled too much, their prices would naturally drop. Furthermore, the number of Origin Crystals Ling Han needed was an astronomical figure. No matter how much, he would not complain about having too much.
Thus, not only did he need to occasionally produce some high-level alchemy pills to obtain Origin Crystals like crazy, though, he also had to ensure a steady stream of low-level alchemy pills to continue obtaining Origin Crystals for him.
Everything is difficult at first and a lack of money can cost even the greatest hero. Ling Han did not even have a single Origin Crystal, so he could only start all over again.
He first harvested ginseng from inside the Black Tower, and went to the pharmacy to sell it. But the result is that these pharmacies offer very low prices for them. He was so angry that he went to another pharmacy, but the results were the same.
When they saw that he was an outsider and that his cultivation level was only at the Spiritual Ocean Tier, they naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to commit murder.
In Desolate North, the Spiritual Ocean Tier could be considered as one of the intermediate power ranks, but in Extreme Yang City, only Tier Pedestal Spirits could be overcome as elites, but in Extreme Yang City, only Tier Pedestal Spirits could be overcome as elites, whereas those at the Blossom Flower Tier would be able to gain real respect.
There's nothing to do. Who asked Extreme Yang City to be the commercial center of the entire northern region? There were many elite Blossom Flower Level martial artists, and if one only looked at this city, they might even think that the Blossom Flower Level was too easy to break through.
After changing several pharmacies, the results were more or less the same. Ling Han could only bear the pain and sell ginseng at a cheap price. One should understand that this ginseng has been growing for almost two months, and it is almost three hundred years old.
"You'll all regret this!" Ling Han noted this. In the future, he would definitely open a branch beside every apothecary, and take all of their business!
. . . Ling Han was also sometimes very childish.
Liu Yu Tong was assigned to the restaurant, while Li Si Chan was in charge of the pharmacy.

The restaurant was called "Forget Not", meaning that if a person ate it once, he would not forget the taste and would come again and again. Meanwhile, the apothecary was called the "Alchemist King Pavilion" —with Ling Han's skills, this was definitely not an exaggeration, but rather that he indeed had the ability to deserve this name.
Since he wanted to earn money, he naturally had to make his brand known. However, even though they had been open for two days, neither of the two stores had gone well in business.
In the restaurant, Ling Han had taken out some vegetables, fruits, and dried meat from inside the Black Tower. By the way, there are many available, but these ingredients are only used in some high-end foods, and the bill has to be settled in Origin Crystals for them.
But for a newly opened shop, only a few ordinary people would come to buy new items. The food these people chose was the most ordinary, and their bills were repaid in gold and silver. These people could not afford high-end food, so how could he possibly obtain Origin Crystals?
The pharmacy is in the same situation. Although the name "Alchemist King Pavilion" sounded very grand, it was also a joke material for the majority. Moreover, no one dared to take alchemy pills at random — before there was an excellent reputation for the company, who would come to buy alchemy pills? It was impossible even if the price was cheaper than average.
Furthermore, Ling Han did not wish to capture a niche in the market by fomenting price competition; how could an alchemy pill concocted by an Alchemist Emperor be sold for such a low price?
Could it be that he could only choose to reveal his status as an earth-class alchemist?
Ling Han shook his head. The claws of the Thousand Corpse Sect had extended to the Silent North and Winter Moon, so there was no guarantee that there were no spies or branches of the Thousand Corpse Sect here. Ling Han ruined the plan that the Thousand Corpse Sect had implemented over the years in the Falling Moon Gorge — if he revealed his status, it would be very easy for them to find him.

If he were to reveal his status and if the Thousand Corpse Sect had spies here, they would definitely come and make trouble for him. Killing him should have been impossible, but they could have disrupted his business, and this was also something he did not want to see happen.
He changed his strategy, and asked the restaurant to bring out delicious food that was only available for a short time, and all of these foods were made from vegetables grown inside the Black Tower. They are free to sample.
After just two days, the restaurant business suddenly exploded to a shocking level.
As word of mouth spread, more and more people came, and there was no shortage of extremely powerful martial artists among them. Moreover, as long as they tasted that precious food, it was naturally impossible for them to forget about it. Thus, they willingly took out a large amount of Origin Crystals to spend on food.
This delicious food is very expensive. One vegetable dish would require one Origin Crystal, and meat dishes were even more expensive as they required ten Origin Crystals. And Ling Han had yet to take out the demon beast meat he had bought inside the Black Tower, and the price for a dish made from this could increase tenfold.
However, demonic beasts were extremely rare, so Ling Han planned to leave their flesh only to his own people, and had no plans to take it out for sale.
Now that the restaurant business had improved, Ling Han guided this flow of customers to the pharmacy. In this way, the pharmaceutical business is also increasing. Moreover, the alchemy pills in the apothecary were mostly made by Li Si Chan, but the alchemy pills with the highest grades came from Ling Han's hands. Once they used this pill, everyone praised its effectiveness.
In just over ten days, the two companies had started to continuously produce Origin Crystals for Ling Han — the number was very impressive. However, astronomical wealth has always attracted greedy eyes. Ling Han had no supporters and had just come to this city but earned a lot of money, how could he not attract the envy of others?
A young man came to the restaurant, and asked for half of their profits.
