The Venerable Monster Tamer

Chapter 22: Economic Crisis in Shujiadao, Alchemy Class

It read: "Child Tiger Chu Yun: At only 13 years old, he rescued his adoptive father Zhuxing Tiger Shu Tianhao, killed the disabled wolf, and got the Zuixue Dao to be on the list."

To be on the hero list, one must have at least one big monster. Only after Chu Yun obtained the Drunken Snow Knife of the Great Demon Soldier was he eligible to be on this list.

And the title of "juvenile tiger" is due to this.

The Hero List is very competitive, and there are often newcomers on the list, gaining fame. From time to time, old people disappear and their reputations are ruined. Just like Can Lang, who used to be on the handsome list, was beheaded by Chu Yun, and his name disappeared naturally. And Shu Tianhao, because he handed over the Zuixue Dao, his subordinates don't have the strength of a big monster. The name of the stars and fierce tigers does not exist on the hero list.

It is a great honor for the demon masters to be on the list. Chu Yun's ranking, even though it was only the second-to-last on the worst list, still aroused strong jealousy among the scholars. After all, being on the list is not easy.

Although Chu Yun didn't care about these fake names, he was also concentrating on investigating carefully at the moment. There is no doubt that these lists are all strong. Most of the rankings are close to the facts and have great reference significance.

After a while, he turned his gaze to check the information about Shujiadao in the vine leaves. This information is not on the main vine, but on the vine leaves of the branch vines of the branch vines.

"Shujia Island's army was damaged after the battle with Can Lang. The new navy was truly reorganized, the nearby pirates disappeared, and the army's prestige flourished."

"Shu Tianhao, the owner of Shu Family Island, assigned his two sons to Zhuya Island and Sun Island, and appointed them as island owners."

"The number of merchant ships on Ningjia Island sailing to Shujia Island has decreased significantly. The number of Ningjia shops on Shujia Island is also decreasing."

...

Chu Yun looked at it with a heavy heart: "Zhuya Island and Sun Island are both village-level islands. Dad sent Shu Da and Shu Er there, obviously meaning exile. It seems that he is clearing the way for me The Shu Family Island has been cleaned up and left to me to take charge in the future. But building a navy requires a lot of money. The Ning family’s deliberate reduction of trade will definitely lead to a reduction in tax revenue. This is to show my father’s face.”

Thinking of what Ning Yiyi said to him yesterday, Chu Yun came to a realization: "It seems that this is the method of Ningjiadao. They stopped trading, although they were the ones who suffered the most damage. But they have a solid foundation and are completely It can afford it. On the other hand, our Shujia Island can’t afford it, and the navy is still the basic force to guard the island. Once the navy can’t be formed, I’m afraid the pirates will become active again.”

Thinking about it, I couldn't help feeling indignation in my heart. Not only for Ningjiadao, but also for feeling that his strength is too small.

Although he saw the means, there was no way to solve it. The other party's means belonged to Yang Conspiracy. In practice, it is helpless and powerless.

To solve this conspiracy, conspiracies and tricks will not work. Submitting and giving in is even more out of consideration. The most thorough solution to relieve anger is to fight back fiercely with one's own strength.

However, Shujiadao's economy has always been a huge disadvantage. This is a problem left over from history. If we want to solve it, we can only rely on huge opportunities.

Chu Yun thought of the disease caused by jasper kelp. All in all, the time until the outbreak of the epidemic is coming soon. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shujia Island laid a large-scale salt field, and then seized the entire salt transportation trade market of the Zhuxing Islands. At that time, are you afraid of the economic isolation of Ningjia Island?

However, to achieve this, there are still many difficulties. Without the support of a reliable ally, the huge benefits will only attract a group of greedy and hungry wolves if the salt field is forcibly laid.

"Tiange Academy is the most ideal ally, but let Tiange Academy, which has always been neutral, be involved in the dispute over the archipelago. This task is even more difficult than recruiting Yan Que!"

Chu Yun smiled bitterly, unable to think of a feasible solution for a while. Seeing that the time for class was approaching, he hurried to the school without even having time to carry out his original plan of exploring the seeds of the Huanzhuan Pill Tree.

The first class is alchemy class. The teacher who attended the class was Baimei Danshi.

"Drug pills are an extremely important field in the practice of demon masters. When pills are refined, they can be given to monsters to treat injuries or bless their states. They can also be eaten by humans to heal the body or improve physical fitness, etc. However, , It is three-point poisonous medicine, and most of the pills refined are still used by monsters. Demon masters often use them, and the harm outweighs the benefits."

Baimei alchemist explained the importance of the elixir, spread it out, and talked about it eloquently.

"There are various methods of refining alchemy. There are fire refining method, water refining method, earth refining method, starlight refining method, heaven and earth flood furnace refining method, etc. There are alchemy wells among monster soldiers, which can be refined by water. There are firefox among monster beasts, which can Fire refining. There are pregnant pill lotus in the monster plant, which can be refined with wood. Monster soldiers, monster beasts, and monster plants can all make alchemy..."

"Today's talk is about using fire to refine blood qi pills. You are all optimistic about my technique." Then, Baimei alchemist used a demon soldier pill furnace to conduct fire refining on the spot.

His fingers moved frequently, pinching into various handprints, like the shadow of a flower, like a stream of light. The flames under the alchemy furnace constantly change color with the handprints. The cyan flame is restrained, the red flame is normal, and the purple flame is violent.

Chu Yun's eyes widened, feeling that there was some mystery in it, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

After refining, nearly a hundred blood energy pills flew out from the pill furnace. They are all plump and round, and they are many times better than the ones that Chu Yun found from the pirate spies.

At this moment, Master Baimei asked the scholars what they thought and doubted.

Many scholars raised questions, and he answered them one by one.

When it was Chu Yun's turn, I didn't want Chu Yun to say directly: "Alchemist, I basically don't understand your alchemy technique!"

There was a sudden silence in the school, and everyone looked at Chu Yun with strange eyes.

Baimei alchemist's eyes also froze, and then he thought of the root knot, and laughed: "There has never been a freshman like you who has the capital to choose alchemy courses in the first class. It's normal not to understand. That's it, after class you Stay here, and I will teach you these handprints alone. Now we will conduct an in-class assessment to refine the blood qi pill. Whoever has the best medicine appearance will be rewarded with credits."

There was a buzzing sound in the school, and the scholars communicated in low voices, whispering to each other.

"Baimei alchemist gave Chu Yun a small treatment, which is really enviable. Why didn't I have this kind of treatment back then?" Some people envied.

"Chu Yun doesn't even know the basic alchemy handprints, so he came to learn alchemy. It's really the style of a childish tiger..." Someone sighed.

"I guess I chose alchemy because I saw the production tasks in the Miscellaneous Hall, which rewarded higher credits. I heard that he even took the bag-making class. Hehe, it's good for him. There are hundreds of basic handprints for alchemy. Let's see what he can learn." Some people gloated.

"Chu Yun, you are so reckless. You actually chose alchemy for the first course. You haven't even learned how to walk, but you want to run away. As an old student, your senior, I, Ma Youcai, have to mention you. I need a mouthful of food." Eat, shit will be pulled in lumps."

An old student sitting next to Chu Yun had a sallow, horse face. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Chu Yun, and lectured him in a mocking tone.
