That night, Xia Gui was full of anticipation and came to a no-man's land in the back mountain.

At this moment, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the vast earth, and on a big dark stone in the distance, there are two vague figures. Xia Gui walked in to take a look, but saw that it was Ah Rong and Ah Biao sisters and brothers. They arrived early and were sitting on the big rocks, leisurely waiting for the summer to return.

"Brother Turtle!" Ah Biao greeted Xia Gui.

Hearing the word "Brother Turtle", Xia Gui's face also darkened slightly, and he knew that this title must have been spread by Zhang Yun and Liu Xian.

"It's so early. Xia Gui beckoned to him.

"Brother Turtle, sit here. Ah Biao patted an empty seat next to him.

Xia Gui smiled, and then jumped up, and his figure landed lightly on the big stone like a big black bird, sitting side by side with his sister and brother.

At this time, Ah Biao sat quietly beside Xia Gui, and a powerful soul power was exuding from his body. It can be felt that this powerful soul power is at least beyond the form realm.

Although Ah Biao's soul power is very strong, he can't control it at all, nor will he use his soul power to attack, let alone know what a soul needle is and what a soul ray is. For the vast soul power on his body, he probably used it to do some soul sensing when refining pills.

Soul induction plays a vital role in alchemy, forging and even formations. And a genius and outstanding alchemist always needs a strong soul power to support him.

"Brother Turtle, you have done my sister a great favor, we are very affectionate, and my sister ordered me to thank me and you. ”

Ah Biao smiled mysteriously, took out a small porcelain bottle from his coat pocket, and handed it to Xia Gui.

Xia Gui glanced into the porcelain vase, and his eyes were shocked.

A drop of golden viscous liquid rolled in the porcelain vase, like a piece of gold that had just been cast into a liquid state, shining golden and flowing gently.

This is a bottle of soul essence that has never been diluted in a very concentrated way! This bottle of soul essence is a little thicker than the best bottle I saw in the stone house that day. This is a soul essence page that is truly from Ah Biao's hand, undiluted and mixed with water, and it is very valuable!

Such a drop of soul essence, let alone put it in this Jiuhou Villa, even if it is placed in the Southern Wilderness Palace, it is also a coveted treasure!

Visually, the concentration of this bottle of soul essence has probably reached 90%!

Xia Gui looked at Ah Biao, but saw that the latter nodded at him, and then said softly: "This drop of essence was refined by me and given to you." I believe it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. ”

Seeing such a bottle of soul essence, Xia Gui's face was also full of shock.

You must know that the concentration of the soul essence liquid that Boudan asked him to collect is 100 feet, that is, 99%, and at the moment, this bottle of soul essence is quite close to Boudin's requirements.

Seeing that Xia Gui was stunned and didn't take the soul essence immediately, Ah Biao also said a little dazedly: "Brother Turtle, what's wrong? Is this concentration not high enough?"

"High, high!" Xia Gui nodded again and again, "But I still want to ask, how high can you refine?"

Ah Biao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Turtle, I just try my best to refine every time, you have to ask how high it can be, in fact, it also depends on the material." If you give me more Lingluo perilla, the concentration should be able to increase a bit!"

"Can you reach Baizu?" Xia Gui asked.

Ah Biao thought for a while, "With my current strength, I can't refine a hundred-foot concentration of essence at one time. It is not possible unless you use nine bottles of essence with a concentration of more than 95% and then concentrate it further. ”

He looked at Xia Gui and emphasized again, "What I said is that it is possible." Even if you have nine bottles of 95% essence, there is still a possibility of failure in the process of concentrating. You know, every one percent increase in concentration is very difficult. ”

Although Ah Biao didn't pack the ticket, this answer full of possibilities still lifted Xia Gui's spirit.

Ah Biao said to himself: "This bottle of 90% concentration essence uses about a hundred Lingluo perilla. If you want to refine 95% concentration, it is estimated that you will need more than 5,000 Lingluo perilla plants. And nine bottles of 95% essence need 45,000 Lingluo perillas, deducting the problems that may arise in the middle, and in order to cope with the wind, 1,000 plants need to be reserved. Therefore, the entire refining process requires about 50,000 Lingluo perilla. ”

50,000 Lingluo perilla!

Xia Gui's eyes immediately appeared in front of the scene of Lingluo Shiso swaying in the wind.

Fifty thousand Lingluo perilla plants, this is not a small number.

The previous cultivation was only a few hundred Lingluo perilla, and it had already occupied a small mountain pass, so fifty thousand Lingluo perilla plants would probably fill a large valley.

"Brother Turtle, a bottle of hundred-legged soul essence is equivalent to the seed fee and planting fee of 50,000 Lingluo perilla, and the refining process is extremely complicated, and it is estimated that it will take a month to complete the refining. After manpower, material resources, and financial resources are invested, it is possible to give birth to such a bottle of soul essence. All of them add up, and they may be worth thousands of taels of silver. ”

Don't look at Ah Biao, who is usually a little naïve, but when it comes to the alchemy industry he loves, he suddenly becomes clear and gushing.

If this bottle of hundred-foot soul essence appeared in any small tribe, I am afraid it would cause a sensation.

Xia Gui nodded, "I know its value. If you can refine a hundred feet of soul essence, you have the qualifications to become a fifth-order alchemist. Therefore, for the assessment of a fifth-order alchemist, you need to pay two thousand taels of silver, which is fair. ”

Hearing the title of "fifth-order alchemist", Ah Biao's eyes flickered, and it seemed to arouse his reverie.

"Ah Biao, you're a fourth-order alchemist now, right? But maybe your strength is more than that. Actually, you don't know if you already have the ability of a fifth-order alchemist, right?" Xia Gui said.

Ah Biao's eyes showed a look of regret, "Yes, I can't afford such a silver tael, and no one is willing to give me this opportunity to try ......"

He secretly glanced at Ah Rong, and then at Xia Gui, "Maybe that Lord Gu Li from the northern base is willing to give me such an opportunity......"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Rong already glared at him very vigilantly, and then said, "Ah Gui, what do you mean by this! Lord Gu Li is a dangerous person, and my brother is very simple, and he doesn't want to deal with him!"

When Ah Biao was talking about the fifth-order alchemist, his eyes were full of stars, shining, and full of endless yearning. However, under Ah Rong's stern gaze, the stars in his eyes were all shattered.

He lowered his head and said yes in a loud voice, from that little alchemist full of longing, to an honest cowardly slave.

Ah Rong raised her head and looked directly at Xia Gui, "Ah Gui, my brother is a timid and afraid person, I just want him to be a little slave." I hope you don't evoke any reverie that is beyond his capabilities. ”

Faced with Ah Rong's fierce answer, Xia Gui was also a little surprised.

This Ah Biao is obviously a little genius who loves alchemy, and his sister will actually thwart his wish for alchemy.

Xia Gui hurriedly explained: "Sister Rong, I have no intention of instigating him to go to the northern base. I mean, besides Gu Li, there are other people who can also provide such conditions for Ah Biao. You also know that Ah Biao is an alchemy genius, if he leaves here and goes to any tribe outside to show his extraordinary alchemy talent, he will definitely become a respected alchemist. ”

"At that time, you were no longer slaves, and there were even masters who took the initiative to protect you. Every pill that Ah Biao refines may gain supreme value, and after the transaction, you can exchange it for new clothes, a big house, and you can live in peace and stability......

"But you know, we can't get out. Ah Rong's eyes were full of vigilance, interrupting Xia Gui's words.

"Even if we go out, the outside world may be even more cruel. Therefore, you will not mention this matter again in the future. ”

By the time he said the last sentence, Ah Rong's tone had become a little harsh.

This was the first time Xia Gui had seen this gentle-looking young lady, with long hair on the left side covering half of her cheeks, looking at herself with such a vigilant and stern gaze, and saying such a warning to herself.

It is said that a woman is as gentle as water, but this gentle eldest sister showed her sharp teeth in the face of Xia Gui's "ulterior motives" words.

Xia Gui peeked at Ah Biao, but saw that the latter lowered his head and was silent, and there seemed to be unwillingness in his eyes.

It's just that Ah Rong's momentum is obviously stronger than a head, and when she stared at Ah Biao coldly, this submissive young man had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said, "Yes, Brother Turtle." My sister and I are doing well now, and we don't plan to think about it so far, thank you very much. ”

Xia Gui was stunned, and felt more and more strange in his heart.

This Ah Biao is extremely talented, and his heart is full of desire for the cause of alchemy, and he is also deeply dissatisfied and unwilling to live in his current life.

However, his sister is an extremely rigid and fearful person. She didn't want her brother to take risks, and she didn't even have the courage to leave Jiuhou Villa.

Even if it hinders her brother's development, she would rather stay in this ghost place where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

"Sister Rong, you're wrong. I dare to pack a ticket, the outside world will definitely be better than here, at least there will be no tragedy like Baozi. Xia Guiyi said in a straight voice, "If you want your brother to be safe, you should think more about how to get out of here." ”

"Don't you understand what I said before?" Ah Rong stared at Xia Gui with a torch in her eyes.

Xia Gui was stunned, and wanted to say something, but found that Ah Biao's right elbow gently poked him, and at the same time gave him a look, as if to dissuade Xia Gui and ask him not to say any more.

From Ah Biao's meaningful gaze, Xia Gui also understood that there must be a hidden meaning in this matter.

There must be a deeper reason why Ah Rong rejects the outside world so much, but she doesn't understand it yet.

Ah Rong yawned uninterestedly, "It's late, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep." ”

Xia Gui stood up, hugged his fists, and said along with her words: "It's late at night, and I won't bother." Thank you for the essence of your souls. ”

Xia Gui took the soul essence into his arms.

Such a valuable thing must be well collected.

The moonlight shone on Xia Gui's body, and he was walking towards the grass hut without hurrying.

I met Ah Rong Ah Biao tonight, and I wanted to invite Ah Biao to come to alchemy for myself, but unfortunately, this topic was not even opened, and Ah Rong was savagely terminated.

Of course, he was not completely without gains.

At least he knew that in this mountain villa, there was someone who had the ability to refine a hundred foot soul essence, and this person was Ah Biao, who had a good relationship with him at present.

Ah Biao is full of interest and longing for alchemy, and it is only fitting that this matter is left to him. But his eccentric and old-fashioned sister is a troublesome guy.

Is this woman so afraid of the outside world because she has been hurt?

Xia Gui walked out of the two miles, and just as he was about to return to the grass hut, there was a rustling sound behind him, and then he heard Ah Biao's voice, "Brother Turtle, Brother Turtle!"

Xia Gui turned around a little unexpectedly, but when he saw a figure behind him, he leaned his back slightly, looking at himself carefully, his eyes were full of hesitation, and the person who came was Ah Biao.

"Brother Turtle, my sister doesn't allow me to do alchemy, but ...... I'd like to give it a try. You must have a way to get me ...... Try the refining of the hundred-foot soul essence, right?"
