Chapter Eighty-Seven: Uncle
There are a total of seven or eight kinds of medicines in Zhuji Dan, the most important of which is Cangming Grass. Other excipients can be replaced by exotic herbs with the same efficacy, but only the main drug is not available.
This is the most critical thing in alchemy, the so-called "excipients are different, and the main drugs are difficult to find" is such a truth.
Zhou Fan had been by the old man's side for a long time, and he deeply knew the importance of refining the main medicine in the elixir, so even if he had found some substitute auxiliary medicines, he did not dare to refine them rashly.
And now that Cangming grass can appear at the auction, no matter whether the matter is true or not, it is good news for Zhou Fan.
"By the way, Zheng Babiao has something to look for you. β
Dong Bo said: "He's in the hall." β
"Let's go. Get out first. β
Zhou Fan looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and it was still early in the evening, and now that the people from the Baji Gate found him, there should be something to say.
When I came to the hall, there were two people standing in the hall, one was Zheng Babiao in a brown robe, and the other was not Zheng Jun or Shi Chenfeng, but a girl who was seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl was wearing a yellow and white skirt and a pair of blue canvas shoes on her feet, with a delicate appearance and a pretty temperament, just like the girl next door.
"Mr. Zhou. Seeing Zhou Fan coming over, Zheng Babiao hurriedly greeted him and said, "How is Ling Zun?"
"I still need to take care of it, and during this time, the master of Lao Zheng has arranged manpower. Zhou Fan said.
"I have found the best servant to take care of Ling Zun, and Mr. Zhou can rest assured. Zheng Babiao nodded, and then pulled the girl on the side over. said: "This is my daughter, Zheng Hyunqing." β
"Hmm. Zhou Fan nodded at Zheng Hyunqing.
And when he looked at Zheng Hyunqing, the latter was also looking at him, and then pouted: "Dad, this is what you told me about our family's savior? I don't think he's much older than my brother, what can he do?"
"Nonsense, don't be rude!" Zheng Babiao's face changed, and he immediately scolded, then looked at Zhou Fan again, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Mr. Zhou, don't blame, the little girl has just come back from the field, and the etiquette is not good, I will teach you well." β
"I'm not going to meet a little girl. Zhou Fan said a word, then went straight to the point, and said, "Master Zheng came to me this time, specifically to talk about tonight's auction, right?"
"Yes. Zheng Babiao said: "This auction should be the last time the Alchemy Association will force the palace on our Baji Gate, we have to strengthen the manpower, so we can't participate for the time being, and I also have something to go out, so I called back the little girl, accompanied by her, and went to the auction with Mr. Zhou." β
"This girl is going with me?" Zhou Fan couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the use of her?"
"How are you talking!" Zheng Hyunqing also blew up and said, "I don't want to go with you yet!"
The girl seemed to be quiet, but in fact she couldn't get out of it, Zhou Fan ignored her, but continued to ask, "Where is Zheng Jun?"
"Zheng Jun, I arranged other things for him, and he has to deal with them. Zheng Babiao smiled awkwardly and said, "After all, this also has to be prepared with both hands, and it can't rely on Mr. Zhou alone, and the Ye family will also go to tonight's auction." β
"Understood. Zhou Fan said lightly: "The auction can naturally attract many wealthy families, and the Ye family, as the actual helmsman of several martial arts sects, will go to I don't expect it." β
It seems that because Zhou Fan and the Ye family have a bad relationship, Zheng Babiao has no hope pinning his hopes on Zhou Fan alone. However, if he said it so calmly, Zhou Fan would not have a gap in his heart.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou's identity as a person who went to the auction this time may have to condescend to our Bajimen. Zheng Babiao remembered something, and said in a deep voice: "This auction is provided by the Beijing auction, this auction has existed for hundreds of years, and there are many hidden backgrounds, so the identity of the visitors is very strict. We got an invitation letter for Mr. Zhou, but it could only represent our Bajimen. β
"It's fine. Zhou Fan said: "It just so happens that you are not ready to go, and I represent that you are not impossible to go to the Baji Gate." Just to go in what capacity?"
At this time, Zheng Hyunqing interjected: "Just let him be my servant." β
Zheng Babiao's face changed, and he said, "Don't be rude!" and hurriedly said: "It's me who can't discipline me, Mr. Zhou, the identity I arranged for you is the uncle of the little girl, you can replace me in the big and small matters of the Baji Gate." β
"Uncle?" Zheng Hyunqing's face sank, and she said anxiously: "Dad, how can he beat my uncle?
"Mr. Zhou's strength is transcendent, and my peers are also my high climbers, you are naturally the first generation! This is not a shame!" Saying that, without waiting for Zheng Hyunqing, who was puffing up, to speak again, Zheng Babiao said with a straight face: "You step back first." I still have important matters to discuss with Mr. Zhou. β
"Father, you bully people!" Zheng Xunqing was angry and said: "You called me back, I thought you wanted me to participate in the auction on behalf of the Baji Gate and give the Alchemy Association a little color, but the result was to make me the junior of this person!
After saying that, he left the hall in a rage.
"Miss Bajimen, her temper is really rushing. Zhou Fan smiled faintly.
Zheng Babiao was extremely embarrassed, and said: "Let Mr. Zhou laugh, at tonight's auction, I think my son Zheng Jun must have also told Mr. Zhou, and there will be the medicinal materials that Mr. Zhou needs." However, the Xuanming Grass is said to have the ability to stabilize cultivation, and many sects should covet it, Mr. Zhou represents our Baji Sect, and the primary purpose of tonight should be to deal with the Alchemy Association, so ......"
"Do you mean, let me not offend others easily?" Zhou Fan said lightly: "I can help you with the Eight Extremes, but I also want Xuanming Grass, I have a sense of proportion in this matter, and I don't need to say it anymore." β
"Well, okay. Zheng Babiao can be regarded as figuring out Zhou Fan's temper now, this is a soft and hard master, in fact, he didn't think he could get Zhou Fan's answer when he said those words just now.
"You haven't told me how to deal with the Alchemy Association. Zhou Fan said: "It's impossible for me to go and fight with them, right?"
"Of course not! The biggest pressure that the Alchemy Association is exerting on our Baji Gate now is that they have seized the market of our Baji Gate and sanctioned us economically. After all, although we are a martial arts sect, we are actually mainly based on medical Taoism, and alchemy and sales are the main business. Zheng Babiao said: "In this auction, the Alchemy Association will also send out pills, if the auctioneer accepts them, it will naturally not accept us, so that our situation will be even more precarious, and there will be no income." Being suppressed again, so many disciples in our sect can't eat, can't cultivate, and naturally it's not far from merging. β
Speaking of this, Zheng Babiao said: "Mr. Zhou has been taking care of Gao Tang these days, and I haven't stopped. A furnace of 'Divine Spirit Pill' was specially refined, and eight of them were formed, all of which were of high quality. β
"Divine Spirit Pill?A Rank Pill?" Zhou Fan's face was strange, and he said, "What's the use of that?"
Zheng Babiao coughed dryly and said, "I hope Mr. Zhou can help and hand over the eight pills to the auctioneer." If they can accept it, then we can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. I am confident that this elixir will be auctioned off. β
Taking a pint of pills to fight against the behemoth of the Alchemy Association, Zhou Fan didn't know whether to say that Zheng Babiao was naΓ―ve, or whether to say that he was sick and rushed to the doctor, and he relied on the money from the auction, how could he last long!
"I know what Mr. Zhou is thinking. Zheng Babiao also looked extremely embarrassed, and said: "But now the Alchemy Association is just persecuting us, and it has not completely torn our faces, and we are not good at using force, listen to my son Zheng Jun, Mr. Zhou is also the Holy Hand of Xinglin." Tang Peony's family is one of the constituent families of the Alchemy Association, and she herself is one of the directors of the Alchemy Association......"
When he heard this, Zhou Fan unceremoniously interrupted Zheng Babiao's words, and said lightly: "Master Zheng, I think there is any misunderstanding in it? First of all, I don't know Tang Shaoyao, and secondly, if Master Zheng just wants me to help with this level of relationship, I don't think the Alchemy Association is that stupid." Furthermore, even if the Divine Spirit Pill is accepted by the auction or even sold, how long do you think it can support the sect? Since the Alchemy Association wants to annex you, it must have made full certainty and planning, and it is impossible to let go so easily. β
Zheng Babiao smiled bitterly: "I understand the truth, but I don't know." β
"Since I help, then do it my way. Zhou Fan said lightly: "Don't worry, since I have watched your ancestral alchemy classics, I will not be unstable with you." It's just that I went to the auction on behalf of your Bajimen, this is your last chance, if you don't want to be annexed, don't meddle in my handling. β
When Zheng Babiao heard this, his face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." I listened to Mr. Zhou, anyway, sticking out his head and shrinking his head is also a knife. β
"That's very good. Zhou Fan finally smiled: "The auction starts, I'll come over again." β
After negotiating with Zheng Babiao, Zhou Fan also walked out of the main hall. Let Dong Bo go and prepare the car, he is going to walk around the capital and prepare for the evening auction. But it was not long after he came out of the yard. A fierce force swept towards him.
Zhou Fan snorted, then dodged sideways, dodging the attack of a long sword.
"Girls, what is not good to use, you have to dance with knives and guns. Zhou Fan looked at Zheng Hyunqing with an indifferent face.
Zheng Hyunqing didn't seem to expect Zhou Fan to dodge his blow. Standing in place and looking at him coldly, he snorted: "You bastard, what kind of ecstasy soup did you put on my father and my brother, and actually let you be my uncle!"
"I convince people with reason and walk the world with skills. Zhou Fan said proudly: "I am the same generation as your father, what kind of attitude is this attitude of yours as a junior facing your elders!"
"You!"
When she mentioned this Zheng Hyunqing, she was angry, thinking that she was up to her own decision to participate in the auction, but she didn't expect Zhou Fan, a strange man, to steal her limelight at once, and looking at her father Zheng Babiao's appearance, he was actually very respectful to him.
Why does this person represent their Baji Gate? and be her uncle!
Come to think of it. Zheng Hyunqing's eyes were cold, she scolded coquettishly, and rushed towards Zhou Fan again!
This time the long sword in her hand was merciless, bringing a whistling wind.
Zheng Hyunqing's attack, the sword light seemed to be able to tear through the space, and it directly killed Zhou Fan. Aggressive moves. She was originally a martial arts wizard in the family, and unlike Zheng Jun, she was not good at alchemy, but she had good kung fu in her hands, and her cultivation at a young age had already reached the early stage of the Xuan Rank!
But seeing this woman's style, Zhou Fan felt a surge of anger in his heart, if he was an ordinary person, he couldn't do two tricks in Zheng Hyunqing's hands, this move was fatal, it was simply ruthless!
Zhou Fan thought that Luo Yue was already the eldest lady's temper, but compared with this Zheng Hyunqing, he found that it was too much worse!
So after dodging the attack again, he stretched out two fingers and knocked out the long sword in her hand, and then kicked her legs, and Zheng Hyunqing, who lost her balance, fell towards Zhou Fan's body.
Originally, Zheng Hyunqing lost her center of gravity and let out an exclamation, but soon she "snorted", and her face turned red!
Because in the process of falling, Zhou Fan's hand just supported her chest!!
