Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Terrifying Expenses, Trip to Wanlu County_1

Translator: 549690339

Wanlu County was massive, several tens of times larger than Changhe Town.

There were also a large number of martial artists.

Just entering the city, Ye Fan came across several strong individuals who seemed to be at the peak of Body Forging.

Truly, a change in scenery turned the big shots into ordinary people.

Ye Fan didn’t feel dispirited by this. The resources in the county were more abundant, which would allow him to grow stronger faster.

Ye Fan first went to the Duobao Pavilion to see if there was any way to find prescriptions or elixirs.

The introductory study of Alchemy recorded that the Limit-Breaking Elixir could forcefully break through the peak of Body Forging to the Postnatal Realm.

However, the Limit-Breaking Elixir was expensive, costing tens of thousands of silver per piece, and it was hard to find.

For Ye Fan, it would be best if he could buy it directly.

If he really couldn’t buy it, it would be good to buy the prescription for the Limit-Breaking Elixir.

In the Duobao Pavilion, Ye Fan was warmly received after presenting his token to the host.

“Alchemist Ye, I heard Wanlu County has a new alchemist, but I didn’t expect you to be so young.”

Qian Bao, the shopkeeper of the Wanlu County branch of Duobao Pavilion, was very warm.

As a Postnatal Realm expert, there were few in the entire Wanlu County who could make Qian Bao so enthusiastic about them.

“What brings Alchemist Ye here?”

“I want to buy two Limit-Breaking Elixirs. Do you have them?”

“Limit-Breaking Elixirs?” Qian Bao’s expression faltered: “We only have low-quality Limit-Breaking Elixirs.”

Hearing this, Ye Fan knew that he wouldn’t be able to buy it.

A low-quality Limit-Breaking Elixir could certainly transform Body Forging peak martial artists into the Postnatal Realm.

But it would also drain all their potential and they wouldn’t be able to make any more breakthroughs.

Ye Fan would naturally not be willing to accept such a result

He required at least a mid-grade Limit-Breaking Elixir, so he could continue training after the breakthrough.

After listening to Qian Bao’s description, Ye Fan had a deeper understanding of the rarity of the Limit-Breaking Elixir.

In all of Wanlu Town, the only alchemist who could create the Limit-Breaking Elixir was Tang Jijun.

Moreover, Tang Jijun was already in his eighties and his vitality was not what it used to be.

Producing ten Limit-Breaking Elixirs in a year was considered quite good.

In the past six months, there have only been three, each sold at a high price.

“Since there are no Limit-Breaking Elixirs, can I possibly buy the prescription for the Limit-Breaking Elixir, as well as a Pill Furnace?”

“We don’t have the prescription, but there is a source you can try.

Alchemist Tang, in order to leave some assets for his descendants, can be paid to provide some prescriptions.”

“As for the Pill Furnace, they can only be created by Cast Iron Manor in Wanlu Town.”

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Qian.” Ye Fan thanked him with a bow. He had obtained the information he wanted and considered the day productive.

It seemed it wouldn’t be easy to accomplish these tasks in a short time.

Ye Fan thought for a while and decided to go visit Tang Jijun first to see if he could learn the technique to produce the Limit-Breaking Elixir.

With the Limit-Breaking Elixir, the Ye Family would have a means of earning a living in Wanlu County in the future.

“Shopkeeper, could you please prepare some ingredients for the Limit-Breaking Elixir for me?”

The materials for the Limit-Breaking Elixir were quite expensive due to its rarity.

Many of the materials needed to be gathered from Fu City.

Leaving a deposit of a thousand silver, Ye Fan headed towards the address Qian Bao gave him for Tang Jijun.

Tang Jijun resided in the most prosperous area of Wanlu County.

Wanlu County was divided into four cities: East, South, West, and North. The East City was the most bustling, mainly inhabited by officials, the wealthy, and powerful martial artists.

The South City was the most chaotic, with many gangs.

West City was where ordinary people lived, with many merchants.

North City was considered a slum.

Ye Fan passed through the South, West, and North cities and finally arrived in the East City.

Seeing the large properties of East City, Ye Fan suddenly had an idea.

Should the Ye Family purchase a property in East City?

He just wasn’t sure how expensive properties in the East City were.

“Long-term mission, Clan Territory II: Grand Mansion (Incomplete). Purchase a mansion in the East City of Wanlu County to complete.”

Damn it, Ye Fan’s eyes lit up instantly.

Must buy, definitely must buy, even if it’s expensive.

Initially, it was just an idea, but now it was a certainty.

For Ye Fan, the rewards from the System were the most important.

Ye Fan admitted that his abilities were average. The development of the Ye Family to its current state owed a large part to the System’s rewards.

Maybe this time’s reward could solve the problem of the Ye Family’s qualifications.

Ye Fan first found a property broker to find out the price of the East City’s properties.

A four-sided courtyard cost about 50,000 silver.

That price was definitely terrifying.

Ten silvers could support a peasant family for a year.

Fifty thousand silver could support five thousand peasant families for a year, and that would only get you a house.

The Ye Family couldn’t afford to spend that much for the time being.

“Brother Tongzi, could we perhaps negotiate to buy a smaller house first?”

“The clan territory purchased by the host must meet the needs of the Ye’s Family; otherwise, you will not be able to complete the task.”

Well, it seems that the fifty thousand silver must be spent after all.

Leaving the property agency, Ye Fan finally found Tang Jijun.

“Master Tang, I wish to learn the method to create the Limit-Breaking Elixir from you. I wonder how much silver that will cost.”

Ye Fan got straight to the point and made his intentions clear.

“You’re an alchemist?” Tang Jijun sat up straight.

“Correct.” Ye Fan extended his hand and moved it continuously. This was the Thousand Dispersing Hands method, the only alchemy technique in the rudimentary Alchemy Dao.

Seeing Ye Fan’s technique, Tang Jijun didn’t doubt him.

No one but an alchemist would study such a technique.

Our Wanlu County is just a small county with few alchemists. If you are willing to learn, naturally you can.” Tang Jijun’s tone changed: “However, there is a price to learning. For ten thousand silver, I will teach you how to create the Limit-Breaking Elixir.”

Ten thousand. Ye Fan had to admit that alchemists were extravagantly wealthy.

The price of learning a single elixir prescription was equivalent to the entire wealth of many peak Body Forging and even some Postnatal Realm martial artists.

In total, Ye Fan had brought just over ten thousand silver in banknotes with him when he set out.

After leaving a deposit of a thousand silver at the Duobao Pavilion, what was left was barely enough for the cost of learning the Limit-Breaking Elixir.

The Limit-Breaking Elixir, with Extreme Sun Grass as the main ingredient and combined with Vein-Protection Grass among other herbs, had to be refined for ten days using a special technique to fuse the medicinal properties before it could be ready.

In terms of difficulty, the Limit-Breaking Elixir was considered mid to high level among Postnatal Realm elixirs.

Otherwise, there would not only be one person, Tang Jijun, who could create it in Wanlu County.

“Once I’ve been paid, I will naturally teach you well. However, whether you can learn it or not is not something I can determine,” Tang Jijun said.

Ye Fan nodded his head to signify he understood.

As for whether he could learn it, Ye Fan didn’t worry too much.

With his Alchemy Dao Tier 1 insights, learning a Postnatal Realm Elixir was quite easy.

School flew by for both the eager learner and the willing teacher.

Ye Fan didn’t return to Changhe Town. Instead, he simply paid a little and had someone from the Duobao Pavilion to go to Changhe Town to inform his family that he was in Wanlu County studying.
