Chapter Twenty-Three: The Order of the Flowers
Xu Yichen walked out of the inn and took a horse from the post station to the east of Qilin Gate, and casually asked some roadside merchants to get the address of the geranium medicine store, and went directly.
In front of the gate of the geranium medicine store, the house is an ancient wooden house, at first glance it gives people a feeling of being a scholarly door, and a strong fragrance enters the nose when you walk into the house.
Looking around, I found a series of finely carved medicine cabinets, the medicine cabinet is reddish-brown, Xu Yichen remembered the introduction in the Dan Medicine Encyclopedia, this is one of the top ten famous trees: Huanghuali wood!
"The whole house is made of rosewood, no wonder it is so natural and fragrant, it actually covers up the unpleasant smell of medicinal herbs in the house......" Xu Yichen looked around, and was amazed in his heart, "Sure enough, it is rich!" ”
"What medicinal herbs do you want to buy, this guest officer?" A handsome young man dressed plainly saw Xu Yichen looking around and came to inquire.
Xu Yichen came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed, and pointed to the medicine cabinet in front of him: "Excuse me, what is the highest grade of your medicinal materials?" ”
The young man looked Xu Yichen's clothes up and down, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't show disdain, and still replied politely: "This outer hall is a grade one to six grade medicinal materials, if you want to find higher quality medicinal materials, you need to go to the inner hall......
"But ......," said the boy, and the boy paused.
Xu Yichen smiled slightly: "But it's okay to say it!" ”
"These seven medicinal materials are extremely precious, each one is priceless, and you have to pay a deposit to enter the inner hall."
"Deposit? How much? Xu Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"I'm very sorry, in order to avoid irrelevant people from entering it to absorb medicine under the guise of buying medicine, I have to make this regulation, I hope you ......will forgive me," the young man politely explained to Xu Yichen, and replied: "I need a gold dollar!" ”
"A gold yuan ......," the corners of Xu Yichen's mouth twitched. The gold dollar is made by smelting 10,000 catties of gold. One gold dollar is equal to 10,000 gold ingots, and one gold ingot is equal to 10,000 gold coins...... Xu Yichen thought he was rich at first, but in this comparison, he was simply poor......
Xu Yichen weighed the moment and said to the young man: "Can Yuan Dan be exchanged for gold yuan?" ”
The young man shook his head: "A spirit bead is about a gold coin, and a Yuan Dan is about a gold ingot, and if a gold yuan is exchanged for a Yuan Dan, it will cost tens of thousands, to say the least, and in this Qilin Gate, people who can use gold yuan will generally not lack Yuan Dan, and it is difficult to exchange." ”
Xu Yichen took a deep breath and asked again, "What about Xuanzhu?" ”
The young man's eyes lit up: "Do you have Xuanzhu?" Xu Yichen didn't answer positively, because the young man's answer he already knew that Xuanzhu could be exchanged for gold dollars, so he continued to ask: "How many gold dollars can a Xuanzhu be exchanged for?" ”
"One hundred!" The boy cocked up a finger.
Xu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he "blackmailed" the Yuan family. Xu Yichen still has seven Xuanzhu left, so he can still be regarded as a wealthy man with thousands of dollars in his pocket, but Xu Yichen will not sell it unless he has to......
He asked the young man, "What if you have ten catties of six medicinal materials here?" ”
"Ten pounds?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and the first time he saw people buying medicinal materials in catties, he roughly calculated and replied: "It's almost a hundred gold dollars!" ”
"Good! I'll give me a Xuanzhu, and I'll give me ten catties of each medicinal herb! Xu Yichen learned from the encyclopedia of pills that most of those seven-grade pills were based on six-grade medicinal materials, and then refined with rare seven-grade medicinal materials. Xu Yichen naturally used these six medicinal materials when he bought them.
"You're an alchemist?" The boy asked.
Xu Yichen smiled, and with a movement of his wrist, a Xuanzhu was placed in the palm of his hand and handed to the young man: "You go to get the medicine, and take me to the inner hall by the way!" ”
"Wait a minute!" The young man happily took Xuanzhu, hugged his fist at Xu Yichen in response, and then turned around and walked to the counter, whispering a few words to the shopkeeper over there.
The shopkeeper was full of surprise when he talked to the young man, and he immediately came to Xu Yichen in person: "This young man, the medicinal materials are being classified and preserved for you according to the medicinal properties, you can wait with me in the inner hall and choose higher quality medicinal materials!" ”
Xu Yichen looked at this shopkeeper with a sophisticated appearance, and he even had the cultivation of a ninth-order spirit master. Following the shopkeeper through a long corridor about 100 zhang long, Xu Yichen came to a wooden house with winding paths. Xu Yichen saw that there was still a ninth-order spirit master guarding outside the door, and under the spirit exploration technique, Xu Yichen felt that there was still a Venerable guarding in this inner hall!
Stepping into the wooden house, the shopkeeper also looked at Xu Yichen and asked, "I don't know what seven-grade medicinal materials the young man wants to buy?" ”
In the Encyclopedia of Pills, the refining methods and materials of almost all the seven grades and below the seven grades are recorded. Xu Yichen took a fancy to the seven-pin forbidden medicine, and there was also a medicine, which was also a seven-pin pill, called the Pulse Protection Pill!
A month later, the selection of the Qilin Gate must be full of crises, and in the face of unknown dangers, Xu Yichen needs to use the seven-grade forbidden medicine to transition the crisis at a critical time. However, the Pulse Protector Pill can effectively avoid the damage to the spiritual veins caused by the backlash of banned drugs above the fifth grade. The pain is still bearable, and if it damages its cultivation, it will outweigh the losses, so Xu Yichen still has to refine the Pulse Protection Pill.
The seven-grade forbidden medicine requires 10,000 yuan of pill to provide basic spiritual power, plus six-grade herbs: three taels and four coins of magic flame grass, and four taels and seven coins of bitter wood ginseng, which can be bought in the front hall of the sunflower medicine store, and to refine these seven-grade forbidden medicines, one of the seven-grade medicinal materials is also needed: cediran.
In addition to the above-mentioned basic Yuan Dan and six-grade medicinal materials, an extremely precious seven-grade herb is also needed: Blood Lingzhi, and more importantly, to refine the Pulse Protector Pill that can fight against the seven-grade forbidden medicine, you need to use an eight-grade medicinal material: Cordyceps!
"I want two plants of cediran, one plant of cordyceps, and one plant of blood reishi!" Xu Yichen said.
The shopkeeper was obviously shocked: "Cediran? That's a highly poisonous medicine! ”
"It's okay, do you have any sunflower medicine in this shop?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for half a minute, and then said: "There is a West Dilan, it is worth ten gold yuan, but I can't sell you directly......"
"How can I make a purchase?" Xu Yichen asked the shopkeeper. The high-grade pill is really not a stall, it is not so easy to refine, its materials are all rare, this Xidilan ten gold yuan a plant, not to mention the ridiculously expensive, you can't buy it directly. ”
The shopkeeper coughed lightly: "This is a medicinal material, you need to go to my Tianhua Medicine Store manager, Murong Family, and obtain the Tianhua Order to buy it from me." ”
"The Geranflower Medicine Store was opened by the Murong family?" Xu Yichen asked.
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed: "No, Tianhua Medicine Store is the same as the Qilin Auction House, it is the two major trading houses in Qilin City, both of which are opened by the Qilin Palace, but its general affairs are handled by the two families!" ”
Xu Yichen saw that the cediranium could not be obtained for the time being, so he asked, "What about Cordyceps?" ”
"Cordyceps sinensis is an eight-grade medicinal material, it is hard to find, and before picking, the owner is not inferior to the power of the seventh-order spirit master's cultivation, even if there is a master to obtain it, few people will sell it directly to the medicine store, you can go to the Qilin Auction House, maybe someone will auction ......"
"Blood Lingzhi won't be and won't be there!" Xu Yichen asked again, and after working for a long time, he didn't get any of the medicinal materials he wanted, and he was a little disappointed.
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly: "Shaoxia, the seven medicinal materials you are looking for are all extremely cherished things, and they are not hidden...... Not really! ”
Xu Yichen's mouth twitched!
"However, I can tell you, where to ......find the blood lingzhi" The shopkeeper saw that although Xu Yichen was dressed ordinarily, he had such a big hand, and he had already guessed that Xu Yichen was a well-hidden alchemist, and he also planned to have a good relationship with Xu Yichen, maybe in the future, there would be some pills placed here for consignment, and they would also be able to get a lot of benefits.
"Where?" Xu Yichen's eyes lit up, he could get it himself, and he didn't spend a penny, so why not? In this way, it is exactly what he wants.
"Lingzhi generally grows in areas with abundant spiritual energy, but the place where blood Lingzhi grows must be the secret realm and spiritual land of the flame spiritual power."
Xu Yichen saw that he had received a useful information, and it was not in vain, so he hugged his fists and thanked the shopkeeper. At the same time, the young man just now came in and reported: "Shopkeeper Li, the medicinal materials are ready." ”
Xu Yichen walked out of the door and saw at least more than 1,000 wooden boxes stacked neatly, and after a closer look, the wooden structure of each wooden box was different.
"Sure enough, it is professional, and I know that different wooden boxes are used to store them according to different medicinal properties." Xu Yichen smiled inwardly, waved his big hand, and his spiritual power burst out, only to see a green dragon shadow appear, and then dissipate in an instant, and the wooden box all over the ground disappeared!
"Farewell!" Xu Yichen got what he needed and strode away from the Tianhua Medicine Store, leaving the two stunned behind.
"Is this the young alchemist who made the Yuan family plant a big heel two days ago?" The shopkeeper saw Xu Yichen walking away before he suddenly remembered to ask.
The young man lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "What you say, judging from the appearance and characteristics of the rumors, is quite similar!" ”
"Then don't hurry up and report to the second lady!" The shopkeeper was startled and immediately said to the young man.
Looking at the direction of Xu Yichen's departure, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and muttered silently: "If he can really bring down the Yuan family, let alone Xidilan, even if he gives me the treasure of medicine: Tianhua, it is not impossible to give it to him!" ”
Xu Yichen walked out of the Tianhua Medicine Store, planning to go to the Qilin Auction House to sell some treasures in exchange for a little gold yuan. After coming out, Xu Yichen realized how poor he was, and that Xuanzhu was the "delicious" of the Breathless Spirit, and he didn't want to mortgage it into gold yuan.
At that moment, a commotion came from the side of the city gate. Xu Yichen turned his head to see that a group of strong men with tall horses and horses, carrying axes, hammers, broadswords and other weapons, rode heavily armed war horses all the way into the city.
On top of the warhorse, the armor was dyed red, and the blood stained the broken blade, as if to show off what a cruel battle it had experienced.
Civilians along the way were terrified of this group of people and dodged one after another!
