He took out the badge that symbolized Eve's status as an apprentice and handed it to Nelson.
"Go to the city and find a few reputable chambers of commerce. Have them deliver the equipment according to the basic price we agreed on before. As for payment, have them deliver everything to my workshop behind the tower. After I inspect and confirm everything is in order, I will settle the payment on the spot."
He paused, then emphasized, "Everything else can be the basic model, but for the crucible, choose the largest size possible, one that can support the production of multiple batches of potion at once."
Nelson accepted the badge with both hands and carefully put it away: "Yes, sir! I'll take care of it right away."
Watching Nelson's departing figure, Li Ang sat down in a chair. Rodney handed him a cup of herbal tea at just the right temperature. Li Ang took it, sipped it slowly, and waited for the results of the purchase.
Nelson was very efficient; he returned in less than half a day, his face beaming with pride at having completed his mission: "Sir, the goods have all been ordered. Three merchant guilds have accepted the orders, and they are now waiting at the foot of the tower with their goods."
"Okay, let's go take a look." Li Ang stood up and led Nelson and Rodney to the open space behind the tower.
From afar, Li Ang saw three large freight wagons, drawn by six-legged horses, parked on the open ground, fully loaded.
Beside the carriage stood three well-dressed, middle-aged men who looked like merchants. They were looking into the tower with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. Behind them stood more than ten strong men dressed in matching short shirts who looked like porters.
Upon seeing Li Ang and his group approach, the three chamber of commerce leaders immediately greeted them with beaming smiles.
"Lord Li Ang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"I have long admired Lord Li Ang. He is a young man of great talent and ability. It is an honor to meet you today."
"Thank you for choosing our chamber of commerce. We will do our utmost to serve you."
The three of them rushed to express their compliments and gratitude.
It seems these people have all done their homework, knowing that the young man before them is not only Eve Chloe's disciple...
He is also a genius apothecary who won the Silver Cauldron Tournament. Getting in touch with him would be of great benefit to their merchant guild, which mainly deals in potion facilities.
"You're too kind, everyone." Li Ang nodded slightly, interrupting their pleasantries. "Let's take a look at the items first."
"Of course, of course, please, sir!" The three quickly stepped aside to lead the way.
Li Ang first walked toward the carriage storing crucible-like utensils. The person in charge signaled the porters to open the cargo hold, where several items were securely fixed with soft, shock-absorbing material.
The most eye-catching item was an enormous transparent crystal crucible, which was even larger than the high-end one in Eve's workshop.
The crucible is crystal clear and reflects a dazzling light in the sunlight. It is obviously made of high-quality white crystal. Next to it are six standard-sized glass crucibles, a high-quality magic furnace, and several ordinary magic furnaces.
Li Ang focused his attention and lines of information appeared before his eyes.
【Large Composite Crystal Crucible (Binding Available)】, 【Standard Glass Crucible (Binding Available)】, 【Precision Temperature Control Magic Heat Furnace (Binding Available)】——.
After looking around, Li Ang didn't find any problems, so he nodded and said to the person in charge, "The items are good. How much is the price?"
The manager beamed, "My lord, this set of items is worth at least six thousand gold coins according to the market price. However, since you are a disciple of Master Eve and our merchant guild has always been supported by the Chloe family, how can we calculate it at the market price? We will naturally give you the cost price, which is four thousand gold coins. We only hope that if you have any further needs in the future, my lord, you will consider our merchant guild."
Li Ang remained noncommittal and then inspected the other two truckloads of goods in turn.
The vehicle was loaded with various types of medicine cabinets, Eternal Frost Rune cabinets, Dragon Breath temperature chambers, material processing tables, main units and piping components of ventilation and purification systems, etc.
The other vehicle contained some auxiliary equipment, a large number of basic glassware, measuring tools, grinding tools, and so on.
The quality of all items met or even slightly exceeded the expectations of the basic model, clearly showing that the Chamber of Commerce had put a lot of effort into preparing the goods and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"Okay, we'll go with the price you mentioned." After confirming everything was correct, Li Ang made the decision immediately.
The first shop quoted 4,000 gold coins for crucibles, the second quoted 20,000 gold coins for various cabinet equipment, and the third quoted 3,000 gold coins for auxiliary equipment. All three claimed that this was a friendly price for Li Ang's cost.
Li Ang took out the crystal card given to him by Meiya. Upon seeing this, the three managers immediately took out a palm-sized square crystal plate from their pockets.
Seeing that Li Ang seemed to be using it for the first time, one of them immediately explained respectfully, "Sir, you just need to hold the card and inject a wisp of spiritual energy into it. This card is valid in all major merchants within the alliance."
As instructed, Li Ang lightly touched the crystal card with his finger and injected a trace of spiritual power into it. The surface of the card flashed with light, and the crystal plates in the hands of the three managers also lit up, displaying the words "Transaction confirmed, amount transferred".
"Thank you for your patronage, sir!" The three bowed in unison, their smiles growing even brighter. Although the profit from this deal was not as high as that of a normal transaction, the opportunity to establish a connection with Li Ang was of greater value to them.
"Alright, move the things inside and arrange them according to my instructions." Li Ang put away the crystal card and pointed to his floating workshop.
"Yes, sir." The three stewards immediately turned around and called to the porters behind them, "Alright, get moving! Be careful not to damage the master's things."
The porters quickly began unloading the goods. When they followed Li Ang into the square stone workshop, they were puzzled by the neatly stacked stones on one side of the workshop.
What truly unnerved them were the two towering metal golems, each three meters tall, with six mechanical arms and crimson compound eyes, standing quietly in the corner.
They stood silently, radiating an invisible sense of oppression that made these ordinary porters afraid to even breathe.
Li Ang directed from the side: "Place the giant crucible in the reserved area in the very center of the workshop, install the precision temperature-controlled magic furnace below it, arrange the six standard crucibles on the smaller magic furnaces on both sides, place various medicine cabinets and constant temperature chambers against the wall to form a material storage area, arrange the processing tables around the crucibles, and make sure the ventilation equipment vents are as high as possible, and put the auxiliary tools in a special tool cabinet—"
Under Li Ang's command, the originally empty stone chamber was gradually filled with various equipment. Although it was still somewhat simple compared to Eve's luxurious top-level workshop, it had all the basic functions it needed.
Looking at the workshop gradually taking shape, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Li Ang's eyes. Next, he would bind these devices and then use the system to upgrade them step by step, creating a magic potion production base that was entirely his own and had excellent performance.
