"What do you want?" asked Lady Jiang.

Xia Gui secretly observed Lord Jiang's expression, and saw that in addition to surprise, there was no disgust in Lord Jiang's expression for the time being. Maybe now is the right time to try to make that request.

Xia Gui hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "I need a Qi Condensing Pill." ”

Most of the slaves didn't know what the Condensation Pill was. Therefore, after Xia Gui said the Qi Condensing Pill, they still had a numb and dazed expression.

However, the people who had heard of the Qi Condensing Pill were in an uproar and looked at each other.

Especially Nine and Master Jiang, their brows furrowed incredibly. Xia Gui's words seemed to have great magic, and the eyes of the insiders suddenly focused on it.

Qi Condensing Pill, this is something that only noble cultivators can enjoy.

Most of the slaves in this mountain villa have not cultivated at all, and they will not know about the existence of this elixir.

Anyone who knew about the Qi Condensing Pill could understand what an incredible request Xia Gui had made.

Why does this little slave in front of him know this? Lord Jiang looked at Xia Gui carefully. But seeing that this young man lowered his head and showed a very humble appearance, the difference from other slaves was that although his clothes were shabby, they were not dirty, and his face was delicate, his skin was fair and clean, and his temperament looked very much like that of a nobleman.

"Do you know what the Qi Condensation Pill is and how much it is worth?"

Xia Gui said slowly: "The Qi Condensing Pill is an elixir that assists in cultivation, and the market price is thirty taels of silver. However, in spring and autumn, due to the surplus of raw materials, the market price of Ning Qi Dan fluctuated slightly, and it only took twenty-five taels. ”

No. 9 raised his eyebrows, "So you know everything! Since you know that the Qi Condensing Pill is such a precious thing, how dare you be so greedy?"

Xia Gui hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "My lord, if I remember correctly, the third option is thirty taels of silver." When I chose the Qi Condensing Pill, it was actually equivalent to choosing the third item. That shouldn't be a problem. ”

No. 9 was robbed by Xia Gui, as if he had swallowed an egg raw, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"How do you know this?" Lord Jiang became interested and stared at Xia Gui curiously.

Xia Guimian said nonsense without changing his color: "The little one used to work in the medicinal herb shop, and he sold a lot of Qi Condensing Pills with his master, so the price and use of this kind of basic pill have not been forgotten. ”

"But you little slave, what is the purpose of this Qi Condensing Pill?" asked Nine.

Xia Gui knew that No. 9 would have this question, and he had already thought of the answer to the question.

I saw Xia Gui calmly facing No. 9's questioning, humbly bowed his head, and replied: "My lord, I have just come to the villa not long ago, and many of the rules are not clear, which makes the adults laugh." A few days ago, I went to the Library Pavilion to look through the information, and found that the strength of the beasts in our Hundred Beast Garden is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Dripping Water Realm. Usually they are kept in cages and are not dangerous during feeding, but once the task becomes special...... For example, this mission, if there are no means, let alone complete this task, I'm afraid there is no means to protect yourself, and now it may be a corpse lying in front of adults.

"So, I want to empower myself, not only to complete the task, but also to have a selfish heart. I'm afraid of death, and I wish I could live a little longer. ”

After speaking, Xia Gui put on a very sincere look. It can be said that his words were said from the bottom of his heart, and many slaves nodded their heads again and again.

Master Jiang looked at Xia Gui quietly, this slave was very skillful in conversation. He first showed weakness in order to gain the empathy of his superiors, and then showed the reason, which made his reason real and sufficient.

No slave, in front of himself, could justifiably make such a request.

"Have you figured it out?" Master Jiang said in a stern tone, "This Qi Condensing Pill doesn't have much effect on you, it can be said to be a knife used to kill chickens." If you insist on wanting a Qi Condensing Pill, then the other rewards are gone. ”

The Qi Condensing Pill is indeed very valuable, but it does not have much effect on such a slave.

The gap between slaves and nobles is not in a pill, but in the endless resource gap brought about by the gap in their status. These resources could be a large number of advanced cultivation exercises, a large number of martial arts, a large number of other elixirs. This is a long-term supply benefit brought by status, and it cannot be compensated for by a single Qi Condensing Pill.

At most, this slave swallows the Qi Condensing Pill, and if he is lucky, he can hit the next cultivation node, and that's it. And raising a cultivation node will not bring him any qualitative changes. He is still a slave, and he still has to complete tasks that do not match his strength.

Therefore, in Lord Jiang's opinion, Xia Gui's request was simply a waste of an opportunity.

Xia Gui lowered his head, without the slightest intention of withdrawing this idea, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Hui, I have thought clearly. ”

Lord Jiang looked at Xia Gui sideways, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he actually smiled.

Faced with the temptation of those three options, this slave actually chose a Qi Condensing Pill, which is definitely not something that ordinary slaves can do. This gave him the feeling that this slave must not be an ordinary slave if he did not have a very clear mind.

He wanted to know what kind of "surprise" the slave would bring to him next if he satisfied the slave.

Master Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you now." ”

With Lord Jiang's approval, Xia Gui, who was sweating profusely, was stunned, and the others were also shocked and looked up at Lord Jiang one after another. A little slave who has just entered the villa can get the approval of Master Jiang and obtain a Qi Condensing Pill, which is somewhat enviable.

Master Jiang slowly took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it.

In the middle of the box, a black elixir flowing with a faint silver light lay quietly, exuding a strong true qi. On the surface of the elixir, there seemed to be a few traces of mist lingering on the surface of the elixir, rotating extremely slowly. Anyone who has a little bit of cultivation can feel a faint true qi diffusing from the surroundings of this wooden box, and this true qi makes the air around the wooden box fluctuate, becoming more and more distinctive.

"Master Jiang, do you really give it to him?" Nine twitched his lips and questioned unconvinced.

Hearing this, Lord Jiang looked over with two sharp eyes.

For him, this Qi Condensing Pill is the same for everyone.

Nine's lips moved, trying to say something, but eventually swallowed back.

His eyes were staring straight at the wooden box, like staring at a plate of fat elbows. It's a pity that this fat big elbow was finally handed over to Xia Gui.

Holding the cold wooden box in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed across the corners of Xia Gui's mouth, even he himself did not expect that Lord Jiang would approve this special case.

Carefully putting the Qi Condensing Pill into his arms, he could even feel the continuous flow of aura fluctuations of the Qi Condensing Pill. The feeling was so familiar that he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Thank you, thank you. Xia Gui's voice trembled and bowed in thanks.

At this moment, Xia Gui had to fully express the excitement in his heart. As a little slave who could barely touch the Qi Condensing Pill, if he behaved too calmly, this attitude would attract suspicion.

Master Jiang laughed a few times, "Don't thank me, you earned it yourself." Remember today's reward, this is the rule of Jiuhou Villa, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. ”
