Chapter 199: Trading, Complete Collection of Elixir Prescriptions?_2
```
"Although, I don't quite understand alchemy,"
"what I do know is that the elixir prescriptions recorded here are all extremely precious and rare."
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't even take them out."
"It's only because it's you, kid..."
As the Carefree Monk spoke, he watched Luo Changfeng with an expression that seemed to say he was doing him a favor.
"Take a look first?"
Luo Changfeng looked somewhat disbelievingly at the monk before him.
Then, the Carefree Monk directly opened the book.
He randomly flipped to a page with the formula for an elixir.
[Name: Explosive Blood Pill!]
[Grade: Depends on the quality of the ingredients and the alchemist's skill!]
[Effect: Once taken, the Qi-Blood Force within your body will increase by two to five times, but after about half an hour, the effect will fade!]
[Drawback: After the effect wears off, you will experience a period of weakness lasting for about a day!]
Luo Changfeng was momentarily stunned by the various pieces of information before him,
as well as the described elixir materials, crafting methods, and various instructions on ingredient proportions and precautions.
This is definitely great stuff.
The fact that the old monk could produce something as good as this was somewhat beyond Luo Changfeng's expectations.
"Fifty Qi-Blood Elixirs."
"This will be yours."
"How about it?"
The Carefree Monk closed the book in his hands,
then looked at Luo Changfeng with a smirk that seemed to say he had already won him over.
Indeed, the monk's thoughts were not mistaken.
Once he had taken out a book filled with numerous precious elixir prescriptions along with their crafting methods,
Luo Changfeng had lost all pretext to refuse.
Although, from the very beginning,
he had not thought to refuse the monk's request.
Still, refusing to refuse,
requesting some reward was always necessary.
Working for free was something Luo Changfeng would never do.
"Fifty is too many."
"This elixir is a bit special, the yield of elixirs from a single batch isn't as high as you think."
"Moreover, the success rate of crafting this kind of elixir is not high either."
"Under normal circumstances, if five elixirs can be extracted from ten batches of Qi-Blood Elixir, that's already considered quite good."
"So, fifty is a bit too many..."
Listening to Luo Changfeng, the Carefree Monk looked at his expression for a moment, then put forth another number: "If not fifty, then how about forty?"
Beneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng sipped his tea leisurely.
He didn't look at the Carefree Monk in front of him,
nor did he pay attention to him.
"Then how about, thirty?"
The monk asked tentatively in a low voice.
However, Luo Changfeng still did not reply, nor did he say anything.
"Twenty then."
"It can't go any lower..."
The Carefree Monk firmly settled on the quantity of twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs.
That look, that expression,
seemed to convey that the minimum quantity was indeed twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs.
Otherwise, if not...
I could continue to lower it.
"Since that's the case, then let it be twenty,"
"But there's something you might not be quite aware of."
"This Qi-Blood Elixir cannot be taken lightly."
"You see, there is a side effect."
"After taking the Qi-Blood Elixir, a special energy from within the pill will settle deep within the body."
"Normally, it wouldn't cause any issues."
"Moreover, this special energy will gradually dissipate over time."
"But if too many Qi-Blood Elixirs are consumed, and this mysterious energy accumulates to a certain degree,"
"then the consequences could be unimaginable..."
The Carefree Monk nodded in understanding.
It was normal for such an elixir to have some side effects.
If Luo Changfeng had claimed there were no side effects,
the monk would have had to give it some thought.
"Okay, I get it..."
The Carefree Monk silently nodded his head,
then placed the old-looking book from his hands directly in front of Luo Changfeng.
Without any ceremony, Luo Changfeng took the book into his hands,
flipped it open, and started to read it intently.
```
The more he looked, the more he could feel the extraordinariness of this book.
Indeed, one might even say,
that once this book, filled with numerous elixir prescriptions, came into his hands,
he could create endless wealth with the prescriptions contained within.
"Right."

"When will the elixir be ready?"
The Carefree Monk glanced at Luo Changfeng, who seemed somewhat entranced by the book in front of him.
He silently stood up, intending to leave the small courtyard.
However, he had only taken a few steps
when he seemed to remember something and abruptly walked back.
"The elixir?"
Luo Changfeng put down the book in his hands and glanced at the Carefree Monk beside him.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke softly, "In about three days, I should be able to produce these twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs..."
As his voice faded, the figure of the Carefree Monk gradually grew blurry.
Until he completely vanished within the small courtyard.
Once the Carefree Monk had left, Luo Changfeng under the Stone Pavilion,
turned his attention back to the invaluable book of elixir prescriptions.
"Hmm, not bad at all."
"This elixir is good."
"Eh..."
"This one seems pretty good too, doesn't it?"
"Damn, there's even an elixir that can extend one's lifespan?"
"Maybe I should try making it later?"
He thought about it.
After a while, Luo Changfeng shook his head.
Firstly, he didn't have all the materials for that elixir on him.
And just the twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs he had promised the Carefree Monk
seemed to already take up most of his time for the next three days.
It seemed he really couldn't squeeze out much time to study other elixirs.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now..."
Luo Changfeng read for about half an hour more.
Then, he placed the book into his storage ring.
"Next, it's time to start preparing to concoct the twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs that the Carefree Monk needs."
"The other materials are fine."
"It's just that Blood Nyctanthes herb..."
"The stock seems to have decreased quite severely lately, hasn't it?"
"Looks like I need to cultivate it for a while."
"I can't keep harvesting it so carelessly."
"If I mess up and wipe out the Blood Nyctanthes herb, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Musing to himself, Luo Changfeng quietly approached a Yellow Grade top-quality furnace cauldron.
A Yellow Grade top-quality Alchemy Furnace, he had obtained recently after spending a substantial amount of spirit stones at the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect.
Of course, if he was willing to spend a lot of time and effort,
he could have crafted it himself.
But given the current situation in the Da Feng Dynasty,
as the Ancestor of the Luo Family, the most important thing he needed to do was to increase his strength and cultivation as quickly as possible.
Only then could he more effectively handle whatever might happen next.
Thus, in such circumstances,
spending some spirit stones to save a lot of time and effort was definitely a lucrative deal.
...
In Qingshi City, at the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
within the courtyard of the Ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Changfeng had already begun the concoction of the twenty Qi-Blood Elixirs.
And in a room on the Luo Family Ancestral Land, where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,
Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family,
was also sitting quietly on the main seat in his room,
drinking tea while starting on the day's work.
[The New Emperor Feng Wumian is gradually increasing the number of armored soldiers on the border!]
[Feng Wuhen has subtle intentions of launching an attack against the Luo Family!]
[The Great Flame Dynasty has once again requested military support from the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, but this request was still rejected!]
[The Xu Family in Wan Shan Prefecture has gradually begun to relinquish control of its lands!]
[Inside White Lotus Prefecture, the White Brahma Temple, which was active for a time, has recently become somewhat quiet!]
Atop the main seat in the room,
as Luo Ping looked through the reports in his hands, he nodded in silence.
With the forceful involvement of the Great Flame Dynasty,
the balance within the Da Feng Dynasty was bound to undergo significant changes.
Moreover, now that the Great Flame Dynasty had chosen to cooperate with the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family,
the Luo Family within the Da Feng Dynasty would inevitably become the entity closely watched by countless eyes.
