I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 646: The Rules of the Suzhou Alchemist

Yes, I just know some names.

Many institutions in Xia Country have set up research groups dedicated to studying various aspects of Suzhou, among which alchemy and elixirs are also a key focus. However, elixirs are more rare than magical instruments, and there are too few samples available for research.

Finished elixirs are rare. Apart from the official teams that will hand over the finished elixirs they find while exploring the secret realm (for a fee), and the official departments that will make them public after research, a large number of civilian hunting teams may not hand over the elixirs they accidentally obtain in the secret realm.

This situation made those research institutions that have been tasked with acquisitions for many years very angry. Those people didn't even know what the effects of the pills they got were, but they held on to them tightly and treated them like treasures!

Although I am very angry, there is nothing I can do.

So up to now, I only roughly know the names of some elixirs, and through reasoning and experiments, I have learned the uses of a few of them.

However, it is very difficult to analyze the materials and methods of refining elixirs. Almost no accurate conclusions have been reached, and no one on Blue Star can use scientific methods to make elixirs.

Due to these reasons, the research on alchemy progressed slowly. Even the Jiang family could not replicate the Suzhou elixir. Apart from continuing to make the pills that had been passed down from generation to generation in their family, all products involving Suzhou medicinal materials were almost all in the form of medicines.

This time Jiang Qi Zhang asked Su Mo to act as a matchmaker, which is also the association's usual practice.

In the past, when there was a need, such as needing a certain magical weapon or needing to solve a formation problem, they would go to the academy and ask the local cultivators of Suzhou for help.

Wen Song would occasionally receive large orders to refine some kind of magical weapon, Liu Moxi would occasionally be invited to go out for support, and even Xiao Yu would occasionally receive tasks for open classes.

At this time, Xu Li and other college leaders would not obstruct.

No matter which teacher goes to earn extra money, they will bring students to help them and they can get a share of the profits.

So after Yuan Qi was investigated, people from here and there came to the association's top management to lobby them, wanting the association to negotiate with the academy. They wanted to trade elixirs with Yuan Qi, and it would be even better if Yuan Qi could come out and communicate with everyone.

Many people came to him one after another, and all the news came to Jiang Qizhan.

However, the association had already assessed Yuan Qi's situation and concluded that Yuan Qi should not be provoked easily. In addition, he was Su Mo's publicly acknowledged teacher, so Xia Guo could not be aggressive in its attitude towards Yuan Qi.

The top leaders of the association held a meeting to discuss and made various guesses about Yuan Qi and Su Mo's attitudes. In the end, they decided that they could not miss this opportunity to obtain Suzhou's magical elixir.

I decided to talk to Su Mo and ask her to act as a bridge, so that Yuan Qi can establish cooperation with Xia State in a happy mood.

As the president, Jiang Qizhang was willing to mediate, but he just didn't have a good opportunity to speak up.

Today, Su Mo took the initiative to ask the association to help collect materials. Isn’t this a good opportunity?

After Jiang Qi Zhang finished speaking, he waited for Su Mo's answer.

Su Mo did not give the answer Jiang Qi Zhang wanted.

"It's not impossible to communicate, but it's probably not possible now."

"My teacher's arrival on Blue Star was also his first time encountering another world. He was very curious about the various materials on Blue Star and was always in seclusion researching. He went to a secret realm with me a while ago and then went into seclusion again after returning."

Jiang Qizhang "..."

"It doesn't matter. We can wait until he comes out of quarantine."

Su Mo remained silent.

"The president wants to buy pills from him, right?"

Jiang Qi Zhang hesitated slightly and nodded.

"Yes, Xiaguo wants to study the Suzhou elixir and indeed wants to purchase a batch from Teacher Yuanqi, but it would be even better if they could spare some time to exchange ideas. We can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we can also share Blue Star's experience."

"I'll bring up the matter of communication after he comes out of seclusion. President, you can make a list of what elixirs you want to purchase and I'll take a look at it first." Su Mo suggested.

"President, you may not know that when you hire an alchemist from Suzhou, in addition to paying for the alchemy, you also have to provide the materials needed to refine the purchased pills. At least the main materials must be provided."

After hearing himself say this, Jiang Qi Zhang was stunned.

Su Mo added, "I hope the president can understand that it is impossible for an alchemist to have all the ingredients, so the seller needs to prepare the materials himself."

"Is that so? But Xiao Su, you just said you would take a look first, which means you know what materials are needed?" Jiang Qi Zhang suppressed his excitement and asked.

Why didn’t they think of asking Xiao Su directly?

Yes, Xiao Su is obviously the student of that alchemist. Even if her skills are not good, she must have learned the theoretical knowledge. They have really been misled by some rumors.

Su Mo nodded.

"I know some of the more common elixirs."

"Are limb regeneration pills and detoxification pills considered common?" Jiang Qi Zhang asked.

"Not counting."

Su Mo explained, "Detoxification pills aren't a panacea. You have to determine the right materials to use based on the actual situation. Limb regeneration pills not only require rare materials, but also have very high requirements for the alchemist."

"Doesn't Xia Country have very good prosthetic technology?"

She remembered that this was a technology developed and expanded by Yan Shu's daughter-in-law's family. Zhou Wei's mother had surgery many years ago, and both her hands were fitted with prosthetic limbs, and there was no problem until now. It seemed that the Zhang family had mastered this technology quite well.

"I was just asking casually." Jiang Qi Zhang didn't explain much.

"Then let me do as you said and compile a list. You can find out which ones Teacher Yuanqi can refine and tell me. Also, tell me what materials are needed."

"Yeah." Su Mo agreed.

"Xiao Su, you took Yuexi City away. Do you want to place it on a small planet in the future?" Jiang Qizhan spoke first this time.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

"President, Yuexi City has already paid me my compensation. I don't need to report how it's handled, right?"

Jiang Qizhang sighed and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking."

Su Mo nodded suspiciously and said, "Yes, I plan to take it to a small planet to use as a base."

This can save a lot of upfront construction costs.

Jiang Qizhang nodded, then asked, "Where is the monster you took away?"

"It will go together. Bu Lingling is a native of Yuexi City." Su Mo said.

"Look at that monster. Can Bu Lingling be loaned to the authorities to cooperate with some research projects?" Jiang Qi Zhang stated his purpose.

He really took on a lot of pressure this time.

What Su Mo took away was a complete city, and it was the kind with a large defensive formation. You know, Laurel City, the only city built by humans on the moon, was able to stand safely on the moon just by using a large defensive formation taken from a city in Suzhou.
