But Brian White, with nothing but a battered old pot, could actually refine large quantities of elixirs. With this skill alone, even those master alchemists would be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Soon, Andy Warren was once again summoned up the mountain, then loaded with a small bag of elixirs, and headed straight for Qingshui Town.

Although elixirs are rare, they are the favorite things of wealthy families.

If those wealthy families manage to purchase even a single elixir, they have to show it off among their friends and relatives.

Being able to buy an elixir is something to be proud of.

A single elixir can cost as little as a dozen taels, or as much as a hundred taels, and sometimes even a thousand taels of silver might not be enough to buy one.

Originally, Logan Warren wanted Brian White to go in person, but was worried that people from the Shanxing Sect might show up suddenly, so he entrusted Andy Warren with the task.

Although Andy Warren was from the village at the foot of the mountain, his character was beyond reproach; otherwise, Logan Warren wouldn’t have trusted him to handle the sale.

Moreover, Andy Warren was considered a clever person in the village. Whenever the village entrusted him to purchase goods, he had never made a mistake.

The next day, Andy Warren returned with a thousand taels of silver. Judging by his beaming face, it was clear that this business trip had gone extremely well.

It was more than just smooth—he was carrying over a hundred elixirs: fifty first-grade Minor Spirit Elixirs, thirty second-grade Blood Replenishing Elixirs, and twenty third-grade Heart-Nourishing Elixirs. There are only six medical halls and pharmacies in Qingshui Town, and the shopkeepers there nearly knelt down, begging Andy Warren to sell to them.

Andy Warren had never shown off like this in his life. Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are only about a hundred wealthy households in Qingshui Town; they might not be able to consume them all.

But there are plenty of martial artists passing through Qingshui Town, and more than a dozen sects in the surrounding area. If he could sell to them, it would be more than just a small profit.

So the shopkeepers of these medical halls and pharmacies all tried their hardest, almost recognizing Andy Warren as their own son.

The Minor Spirit Elixirs sold for eight taels each, the Blood Replenishing Elixirs for twenty taels each, and the Heart-Nourishing Elixirs for as much as fifty taels each, bringing in a direct income of two thousand taels.

At first, Brian White was worried that Andy Warren, who had never seen so much money in his life, might run off with the funds.

But when Andy Warren placed the full two thousand taels in front of Brian White without a single tael missing, Brian White swallowed his words.

Brian White didn’t hesitate and directly gave Andy Warren a hundred taels as a service fee.

Andy Warren was much happier holding that hundred taels than when he brought out the two thousand taels.

After all, this was money he had earned himself. In his whole life, he had never made so much money.

“Andy Warren, from now on, you’ll be the agent for our Wuliang Sect.”

“What’s an agent?” Andy Warren looked at Brian White in confusion.

“It means you’ll be in charge of selling things for us and taking a commission. For example, with these elixirs, you get a ten percent cut. The better price you get, the higher your earnings.”

Andy Warren’s eyes widened. He was an honest man, but also very shrewd and capable. With a quick turn of his mind, he immediately realized how much profit there was to be made.

“Do you know what sects are nearby?”

“I do, I do! I know all the sects near Qingshui Town.” Andy Warren immediately perked up, eager to show off his knowledge in front of Brian White: “Thirty li south of Qingshui Town are the Five Elements Sect and the White Crane Sect. Another eighty li further south is the Azure Dragon Sect. To the north is…”

Andy Warren rattled off more than a dozen sects in one breath, both large and small. Some of them were even several times bigger than the Shanxing Sect.

Brian White took out a brocade box from his pocket, which contained twenty fourth-grade Spirit Accumulation Elixirs, handed it to Andy Warren, and instructed, “Now go to the sects you think are the biggest and give a few to each one.”

After two days of refining, Brian White’s alchemy skill had already reached level 3, which meant that for elixirs up to the sixth grade, the success rate was 100%. However, for those above the sixth grade, the success rate would decrease.

As for that battered old pot, combined with ordinary flames, the success rate only increased by 2%.

So for now, Brian White didn’t plan to refine elixirs above the sixth grade. At least for now, for the sects near Qingshui Town, elixirs up to the sixth grade were more than enough to meet their needs.

Even if he offered elixirs above the sixth grade, they wouldn’t be able to handle them—unless he took them to Qingzhou City.

“Give them away?” Logan Warren protested, “These are fourth-grade Spirit Accumulation Elixirs! Taking one is worth half a month of cultivation. Even if you sold them for five hundred taels each, I’d say that’s cheap, and you actually want to give them away? Are you crazy?”

Andy Warren didn’t know what a Spirit Accumulation Elixir was, but he understood what fourth grade meant. What’s fourth grade?

None of the medical halls or pharmacies in Qingshui Town had ever seen a fourth-grade elixir, which was enough to show how precious they were.

Besides, Logan Warren himself said that even five hundred taels for one was too little, so you could imagine how valuable they were.

He was holding elixirs worth ten thousand taels of silver!

A ten percent cut would be a thousand taels, and yet they were just going to give them away for nothing?

“You two, if you want to do big business, you have to look at the bigger picture. What’s twenty fourth-grade elixirs, anyway?”

Actually, Brian White wasn’t generous enough to give them away for nothing, but he understood very well the importance of branding.
