Chapter 28: The Scarce Demon Blood
Back on the first floor, Lu Jiu was about to ask the old man of the store for the address of Lingzhi Hall, and unexpectedly found that Yin Yue was still in the store, and he was still chatting with the old man.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Lu Jiu originally thought that Yin Yue would return directly to the Peony Building after leaving the third floor, after all, she ran out secretly, and the sooner she went back, the lower the chance of being discovered.
"We came out together, of course we have to go back together, you didn't sell Wong Tai Sin, are you going to help me raise it?"
Twisting the corners of his clothes with both hands, Yin Yue didn't know when the hat on his head had been taken off, but he simply tied a ponytail, tilted his head, fully exposed his delicate face, and asked cautiously.
"Ah......h
God is pitiful, Lu Jiu is going to go home and slaughter the weasel and bleed.
But now Yin Yue stood in front of her, and put on such a pitiful posture.
Even if Lu Jiu knew that the other party was waiting for these eight achievements to perform this scene, it was difficult to tell the truth now.
It's not because he pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but he still has to rely on others to come forward to buy a house!
"That's right, I thought about it carefully, it's too dangerous for you to raise this weasel, and I can suppress it, so I just keep it there, but I still live in an apartment, and it's really inconvenient to be normal, what I mentioned to you before ......"
"Please rest assured that before tomorrow night, the deed of your ancestral house will definitely be handed over to you. ”
It's not good to raise a monster Yinyue, but in terms of dealing with banks, her door is much wider than Lu Jiu's.
If your own affairs are successfully resolved, there is no need to continue to perform this play.
Knowing that Lu Jiu still had something to do in the future, Yin Yue also said goodbye and left bluntly.
Through the old man who watched the store, he learned that the address of Lingzhi Hall was not far from here, so Lu Jiu did not go home first to put down the bamboo cage, but went directly to carry the cage.
As Lu Jiu had guessed before, Lingzhi Hall was not a regular pharmacy.
In fact, the way it exists is very similar to Hu Sanniang's shop, which is also on the third floor, and it also needs to take an elevator.
This is obviously not a coincidence, it should be the rules of this kind of special shops in Qingdingcheng, and it is difficult for ordinary people who don't understand the rules to touch them, and they won't even hear about them.
It's just one thing to find Lingzhi Hall, and Lu Jiu's plan to buy demon blood is still not going well.
"Guest officer, this is the first time I've met someone who came to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs when I opened the store...... And I'm just a consignment office, and although I collect some demon blood from the demon hunter, only a small part of it is used for medicine. ”
The store manager behind the counter spread his hands and looked at Lu Jiu helplessly.
That's right, after a simple exchange, Lu Jiu found that Lingzhi Hall was not even a pharmacy, just like the store manager here said, it was just a consignment office.
Pharmacists with pharmaceutical capabilities in Qingding City will put finished pills, potions and other items on sale here, and the store manager here will be responsible for helping them find buyers, and similarly, they will also sell some medicinal materials part-time.
On the one hand, the material of demon blood itself is not applicable, and the properties of different demon blood are often completely different when making medicines, which makes not many people use demon blood to make medicines at all.
On the other hand, just like Hu Sanniang said, the demon veins are very taboo to ingest xenomorph demon blood, even if the dose is small, it will have a certain impact, and there are not many people who make it in the market.
Interestingly, when using drugs containing demon blood, ordinary people can bear it more effectively, but it is limited to some special medicines, such as the "Johnnegan" that the store manager tried to sell to Lu Jiu not long ago......
For example, the elixir that Lu Jiu got from the mourning crow, after asking the shopkeeper here, he learned that the demon blood in it itself was that of the gray feather crow, so that he could maximize the medicinal properties while ensuring that his body was not affected.
"I just need some demon blood for some experiments, and the price I give is definitely higher than those pharmacists, how?"
Although the battle in the Peony Tower last night lasted for a very short time, Lu Jiu, who had not received a drop of blood in the past two days, could already vaguely sense the discomfort in his body, and he needed to "replenish his blood" as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, what else can the store manager say?
Although he was a little puzzled that Lu Jiu actually wanted all the demon blood, he thought that he was making money anyway, so it didn't matter who he sold it to, he got up and walked into the inner room of the store, and after a while, he came out with a wooden box.
"This is the demon blood you sold?"
Lu Jiu looked at the six bottles of demon blood of different colors that were arranged in the form of palace grids in the box, and there were six bottles of demon blood of different colors labeled on the bottles, and it was roughly estimated that the amount of each bottle was only about 200 ml.
In his previous life, he could drink half a bottle of Nongfu Spring in one sip, and he also had 550 ml!
"Too much or less?"
The store manager subconsciously asked, and then noticed Lu Jiu's expression, and then said embarrassedly,
"Demon blood is not used in large quantities in the production process of various medicines, and this is enough for me to supply at least five pharmacists for half a month. ”
"These bottles..... That's a lot, but I probably need more, and you may not know that, like we do research, failure is the mother of success. ”
Compared to the only small half of the bottle left in his satchel, these six bottles are indeed a lot, enough for Lu Jiu to do some tests on himself.
However, because she agreed to Hu Sanniang to be her assistant, Lu Jiu was almost certain that she would encounter some danger in the next period of time.
Relying on his own recovery ability, he was confident that he would survive these dangers and get what he wanted, but the premise was that there must be enough demon blood to replenish it, otherwise Lu Jiu's current body would not be able to withstand a few injuries.
"You have a point, but that's all I have in stock...... Otherwise, this time you go back first, I know two professional demon hunting teams in Qingding City, the next time they come to deliver goods, I will drag someone to contact you in advance, and you will talk to them then?"
Although monsters are terrifying, they are also a shortcut to wealth in the eyes of some people.
The demon hunter is a profession that specializes in hunting demon beasts for profit, and its nature is probably a bit like the demon hunter in a card game that Lu Jiu played in his previous life, but the threshold for the demon hunter is lower, after all, the weapon technology in this era is very developed.
"Thank you very much...... I want all this demon blood, please help me pack it. ”
Through Hu Sanniang's words, Lu Jiu realized that his thirst for blood was not because he was a demon vein, since this was the case, he had reason to believe that this change was caused by the current state of his body that was different from ordinary people.
This also means that as long as you can figure out why your thirst for blood comes from and why you, a demon vein, can devour the xenomorph blood without being affected, you may be able to unlock the secret of your body's abnormality!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Jiu took out the bamboo tube from his satchel again, and Lu Jiu drank the blood when he woke up, according to his guess, it was the blood of the falcon that appeared in his hallucination, but it was not confirmed.
"I have some demon blood here, I want to know what kind of product it is, is it convenient for you to do a test?"
If you want to investigate this aspect, you naturally have to figure out what it came from.
"No problem, there is a detection device in the store, after all, I am a consignment point here, and the quality of the goods must be guaranteed, please wait a while, it will only take five minutes to have an approximate result." ”
After making a business, the shopkeeper was naturally happy to help with this, picked up the bamboo tube and entered the back room.
