Martial Way of the Heavens

After thinking about it, Empress Wu sent someone to notify Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo to come and talk. After receiving the notification, Zhou Yuanshuo and Qin Chu set off in the beast cart.

"Qin Chu, some officials probably accused us of high prices. When you needed an explanation, you pointed out that the ingredients of the beauty pill are expensive. Are there any ingredients in it that others don't understand? If so, just say "Incomparable" Rare. As for other elixirs, I took them into consideration when pricing them. Although they are too high, they are not banned," Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu.

"Let me think about it... there is indeed a very rare material in the beauty elixir, called Qingchaguo. Qingchaguo is relatively useless and is not needed in ordinary elixirs. It can be used when refining detoxification pills. It has a strong detoxification effect. "The beauty pill can make women's skin better, including detoxification. I collected this material before, but I can't buy it now. It's not in circulation at all." Qin Chu thought for a moment and said, he was right. , there is indeed none on the market, because the tea fruit was brought by him from the Qiwu World, and it was used as a material for refining detoxifying pills.

"That's enough. When they ask about it later, you can just say that although the grade of this tea fruit is not high, it is not available on the market. It will be gone if you consume it. Things are rare and valuable. This makes sense." Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu, He knew that Queen Wu would protect Qin Chu, but she also needed a reason, even if it was not a sufficient reason.

Zhou Yuanshuo's beast cart stopped outside the palace hall. The palace hall was the core of the Zhou Dynasty, and no one's beast cart could approach it.

Entering the palace hall, Qin Chu felt what a majestic atmosphere it was.

Looking up, the ceiling of the main hall is a bit blurry. I can only see the twinkling stars decorated with gems and dragon pillars. Dozens of people can't even hug them. People walking in the main hall look extremely small.

When he reached the end of the hall, Qin Chu saw Empress Wu sitting at the main seat, wearing a golden mountain and river geography skirt and a phoenix crown, with several officials standing below.

"You are a black-hearted businessman, you are disrupting the order of our Great Zhou Dynasty. How dare you come here?" Seeing Qin Chu, an official reached out and pointed at Qin Chu.

Being accused and scolded, Qin Chu became angry. He clasped his fists at the Queen and said, "I have met Your Majesty the Queen. Before I was convicted by the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, I was innocent. In the case of innocence, others If you scold me, can I kill someone?”

The hall became cold, because Qin Chu released a strong murderous intention. He was really angry. Before Empress Wu could say anything, someone was scolding him like a fool.

"Liu Shilang, you'd better restrain yourself. This is the palace hall. Do you think it's your home? In the Zhou Dynasty, if you are provoked for no reason, the murderer is not guilty. You should understand this! Qin Chu, you should also be less tempered. This is It's the palace hall." Queen Wu first reprimanded the old official, and then stopped Qin Chu. She could see that Qin Chu was really angry.

After bowing to Queen Wu, Zhou Yuanshuo stretched out his hand to pull Qin Chu and stood aside.

At this time, several officials stood together, Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo stood together.

After several officials looked at Zhou Yuanshuo, they looked away, looking a little vain.

"Qin Chu, you opened the Pill Pavilion. This is a legitimate business. We in the Great Zhou Dynasty encourage it, but the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty needs to be stable. In order to maintain stability, some excessive behaviors, such as excessive prices, are not allowed. This is Mr. Li, the Right Chancellor of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He is in charge of the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has something to ask you." Empress Wu pointed at the old man standing at the head of the officials.

The old man bowed to Queen Wu, and then looked at Qin Chu, "I have a few questions to ask. First of all, I would like to share my own views. If you have any questions, then the Alchemy Pavilion will be closed, even if it is The industry that cooperates with Prince Shuo; if there is no problem, I would like to apologize for today’s questioning.”

"Master Li, please speak." Seeing that the right minister's attitude was okay, Qin Chu's attitude softened a lot.

"According to the level of elixirs, normally for seventh-level elixirs, the cost of a batch of elixirs is less than 5,000 top-quality spiritual stones, so we will calculate it based on 5,000. The cost of a batch of elixirs is between six and ten. Between them, we calculate based on six pills, the cost of one pill is about one thousand top-grade spiritual stones. This price is a mid-grade pill. The price of top-grade pills is doubled to two thousand, and the price of top-grade pills is tripled. That is It’s around 6,000. The price shouldn’t exceed 10,000 including the cost of shops and personnel. But in your top-quality elixir pavilion, each of the seventh-level elixirs is priced at 10,000 top-quality spiritual stones. Let’s not talk about these for now, let’s just talk about beauty. Pill, that beauty pill has reached 30,000 top-grade spiritual stones. This is not overqualified, it is really overqualified," Li Youxiang said.

"Don't quibble. We calculated it with the alchemist and made sure that the amount was accurate before reporting it to Right Minister Li." Liu Shilang spoke again.

"Shut up. This is a place where you can make remarks at will? Did the Queen ask you to speak?" Zhou Yuanshuo had a fierce look in his eyes, and he could see that Liu Shilang was somewhat targeting Qin Chu.

"Anyone who disrupts order again will be dragged out!" Empress Wu frowned, and as she waved her arms, a golden armored guard entered the hall.

After Liu Shilang shut up, Qin Chu first clasped his fists at Empress Wu, and then looked at Li Youxiang, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, is more accurate. The elixirs in the Supreme Elixir Pavilion, Your Excellency, mainly question the beauty." Dan, let me talk about the situation of the beauty pill. The beauty pill is an ancient elixir, and it is true that it is a seventh-level elixir. However, one of the raw materials is extremely rare and is not circulated in the market. In other words, the beauty pill is used up. One pill is one less, so you can’t use ordinary seventh-level elixirs to price them. Things are more valuable when they are rare, which is also in line with the rules of the market.”

"There are no rare materials circulating in the market... Things are more valuable when they are rare. If this is the case, then I have no problem." Li Youxiang did not ask too many questions.

At this time, Liu Shilang stood up and hugged Queen Wu.

"Liu Shilang can speak now." Looking at Liu Shilang, Queen Wu's eyes were full of displeasure. Right Minister Li has no problem, so you still want to jump?

"You can't just say it's rare just because it's rare. Then tomorrow every elixir pavilion will say that their materials are rare, and our Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos. If you say it's rare, then you have to provide evidence." Liu Shilang looked at Qin Chu.

"I can prove it, but the formula of the beauty pill is a secret, and the materials are also secret. Liu Shilang can watch it if he wants? Then if someone else refines the beauty pill tomorrow, is it because you, Liu Shilang, read the materials?" Qin Chu began to fight back.

"I am an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I work for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I check your materials. This is within the rules." Liu Shilang looked at Qin Chu coldly. Now he is an official and Qin Chu is a citizen.
