Chapter 128: Single-Leaf Ice Arrow Grass
An Ji is indeed the largest pharmacy in Yongning City.
From the outside, a magnificent five-story building, the plaque at the door is engraved with two bronzing characters - An Ji.
Walking into the hall on the first floor, I can see that there are two-person high medicine cabinet shelves in front of the front, left and right side of the wall, which are lined up very closely, and there is no gap at all. Roughly calculated, there are hundreds of herbs on one wall alone, and there must be at least a thousand on three walls.
This was only the hall on the first floor, and there were four floors above, although she hadn't seen it, but presumably the herbs were no less than those on the first floor.
The pharmacy was very lively, more than a dozen guys were receiving bustling guests, and the five shopkeepers behind the large counter in front of them were even more crackling and busy dialing the abacus to settle the accounts and settle the bills.
No one cared about the leaves, so she had to walk around by herself first.
In addition to the medicine cabinet on three sides, there are several half-person-high display shelves in the center of the hall, on which are placed with jade boxes and glass lids of precious herbs, the leaves are dazzling, there are thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, 10,000-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old Bodha flower, nine-tailed dragon deuce flower, etc.
Not to mention anything else, this dragon deuce flower is the main medicine for refining Taiyi Golden Essence Pill, and it will be picked by people when it grows to one to three tails, and it will take at least five hundred years to grow to nine tails. Most monks don't have such good patience, and they usually pick it up on the spot, otherwise, even if the first person is willing to wait, it doesn't mean that the people behind won't be the first. Moreover, it is uncertain whether a monk will live for 500 years, who would be willing to commit such a fool's errand?
After looking at it for a short time, finally a guy noticed the leaf.
The other party had just finished entertaining the two guests, and immediately walked towards Ye Zi, and said with a warm smile: "This girl has good eyesight, these spiritual herbs are all the treasures of our Anji's townhouse!" ”
Ye Zi smiled noncommittally, his eyes no longer lingered on the herbs, but looked at the entire hall, and asked as if unintentionally:
"I was ordered by the Dan Master to go out to buy a batch of cold herbs. You An Kee is the largest pharmacy in the entire Yongning City. I don't know if there is a good introduction? ”
When the guy heard this, he said that he had come to big business, and his face suddenly bloomed into a flower, and he replied again and again: "Yes." Yes, there is! How about a girl, please come with me to the back and have a cup of tea? ”
Ye Zi nodded, following the lead of the buddy. Go to the private room behind the pharmacy.
The private room of An Kee Pharmacy is slightly different from that of Guangjulou, but it is like a Dan room, and even has a stove, could it be that someone bought herbs on the spot and refined them on the spot?
Ye Zi speculated quietly, took a sip of the tea offered by the guy, and then said, "You can first introduce all the cold herbs in the pharmacy." ”
"Okay!" Seeing that the leaves were so refreshing, the guy immediately introduced them straight to the point.
There are ten kinds of cold herbs in An Kee Pharmacy: Nine Star Seeds, Three-Leaf Ice Arrow Grass, Snow Silkworm, Frost Spirit Grass, and so on......
After listening to the guy's introduction, Ye Zi was not very satisfied, compared to the cold crystal, the cold nature of these herbs was too weak. It is impossible to replace the cold power of the cold crystal.
Ye Zi twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Nothing else?" ”
The guy was stunned, shook his head and said, "Girl, these are the best cold herbs, why don't you tell me, what kind of pill are you using to refine it, and I'll think about it again?" ”
"My Dan master has been researching and refining some new pills recently, I can't say the specifics, he only told me to buy cold herbs." The leaf-like replied as if embarrassed.
"Then who is your Danshi?"
"The surname is Yun, his name is Yun Zhenren, and he is currently discussing alchemy with other alchemists in the medicine building of Baicao Hall."
Hear the words. The guy asked strangely, "There is still a shortage of herbs in Baicaotang?" ”
One-third of Anji's herbs are from Baicaotang, and it stands to reason that Baicaotang is a thousand-year-old medicine valley, and the herbs in it should be more complete. How did you come to On Kee Pharmacy to purchase?
Ye Zi smiled at the other party, "This cold herb is different from ordinary herbs, it needs to grow in an extremely cold place, and the environment of this Star Moon Valley is not suitable, so this herb is very scarce." ”
The guy suddenly realized, "Hey! That's right. But I just introduced to you this little one, these are all the cold herbs in our entire pharmacy. If you can't even look at it, the little one will ......" Speaking of this, his face was very embarrassed.
Ye Zi nodded understandingly, "As far as I know, after the coldness of the Ice Arrow Grass accumulates to a certain extent, the three leaves will merge into one leaf, how many leaves is the Ice Arrow Grass in your pharmacy?" ”
The man gave a thumbs up to the leaf and complimented, "The girl is really insightful. Originally, our pharmacy only had three leaves.,But ...... Yesterday, a team of loose cultivators came over and sent out a batch of goods, and I quietly glanced at it, and there happened to be a single-leaved Ice Arrow Grass inside. ”
"Oh? Can you give me a look? ”
Ye Zi's heart moved, if there was a single-leaf Ice Arrow Grass, it could barely withstand the coldness of the cold crystal.
"Okay! Girl, wait......"
The man ran to the pharmacy manager's tent with a cigarette and called with a smile: "The chief manager! ”
The chief manager of An Ji was a middle-aged man with a round body, fat head and big ears, and when he heard the voice of the man, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at it obliquely.
"What's the matter?"
The guy came up to him with a smile on his face, "Chief, yesterday I saw a single-leaf ice arrow grass in the warehouse, hehe, I happened to be a big customer today......
The chief manager sneered disapprovingly, "Big customer? In the eyes of your kid, if you have milk, you are a mother, and everyone is a big customer! ”
"Oh, Lord Steward, this little one didn't lie to you! She is a medicine boy under the seat of the real Dan Master of Baicaotang, and she is here to purchase herbs. ”
The chief manager frowned slightly, "Oh? Seriously? ”
The guy nodded busily and said seriously: "Naturally." I don't dare to lie to anyone, Lord Steward! ”
The chief manager looked at the guy inquiringly for a long time, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and he immediately became embarrassed.
When the guy saw his appearance, he was puzzled, "Chief? ”
"The city lord ordered that you are not allowed to sell the Cold Spirit Pill, nor are you allowed to sell the herbs related to the Cold Spirit Pill, this single-leaf ice arrow grass is worthy of the medicinal properties of the Cold Crystal, what if something goes wrong?" The chief manager muttered worriedly.
Hearing this, the bottom of the man's heart suddenly sank. If he can make this business, his salary this month can be doubled, and he can't let this fat slip away like this!
Having made up his mind, the guy hurriedly relieved: "Oh, Lord Steward, you are anxious for the pharmacy, which really makes the little one admire." But. In a small way, it's not as complicated as you might think. ”
The chief manager glared at him angrily and scolded: "You know a fart! ”
Nong Ji smiled, and continued to persuade nonchalantly: "This city lord's order is to target that kid from the Fan family. Think about it. Although this single-leaf ice arrow grass is as cold as a cold crystal, it is not a cold crystal after all. The prescription of this alchemy is fixed, and this auxiliary medicine may be replaced by other herbs, but can this main medicine also be replaced casually? I don't know if the outside boundary is small, but Dongchuan is a piece of land. I haven't heard of any alchemist who has such a skill, so are you too worried? ”
When the chief manager heard this, he also felt that the other party's words were reasonable, so he patted his brain in a good mood and scolded with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite well-informed with this head." ”
"Hehe, it's all the big manager who trains the little ones well on weekdays, otherwise how can the little ones understand this?" The guy continued to slap his beard.
The chief manager raised his fat head in high spirits, got up and swaggered to the small warehouse behind him, picked out an elbow-length jade box, walked out and handed it to the man.
"Take it. Since it is a big customer. You greet me carefully, otherwise, see if I don't pick your skin! He admonished with some unease.
The man carefully took the jade box with both hands, "The big manager can rest assured, the little one understands." ”
"Go ahead!"
Ye Zi looked at the cold aura emitted by the glass-like ice arrow leaves in the jade box, which immediately lowered the temperature in the entire private room by a few points, and couldn't help but secretly marvel.
Sure enough, it's an ice arrow grass that can be compared to cold crystals!
The price quoted by the guy was neither high nor low, just within the range that Ye Zi could afford, but she still bargained. In the end, he bought this Ice Arrow Grass for the price of five hundred spirit stones.
Since arriving at the Hundred Grass Hall, there has never been a shortage of spirit stones on the leaves. There were so many herbs in the space that she couldn't use them up, and even the Qiankun bag she had bought to store the herbs was full.
She had no choice but to take advantage of the break. Quietly go to nearby Linyong City and Treading Water City to sell some and exchange them for spirit stones. As for why she didn't come to Yongning City, it was because Yongning City was too close to Baicaotang, and if the people of Baicaotang accidentally found out that she was selling a large number of herbs and suspected that she was stealing the medicinal materials of Baicaotang, then she would be dumb and eat yellow lotus. There is bitterness that cannot be spoken.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Ye Zi bought some other cold herbs that did not exist in her space, and planned to have the opportunity to cultivate a piece of cold land by herself to grow these herbs.
After Ye Zi left, a young man who was not good-looking quietly followed her.
Ye Zi cultivated the spirit response technique, and the young man's clumsy tracking was noticed by her immediately. She thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and stepped into a moderately decorated inn.
"Welcome girl to this inn, do you need to eat or stay?" Seeing that Ye Zi's bearing was extraordinary, and his cultivation was not low, the innkeeper greeted him enthusiastically.
Ye Zi looked at the lobby of the inn and replied casually: "Find me a better cave." ”
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper was busy responding, and then asked, "How long will the girl stay?" ”
Ye Zi paused slightly, so he was embarrassed: "I just went into the city to purchase items, and I have to leave when the purchases are complete, as soon as possible, as soon as a few days, as many as a few days, you see......"
The shopkeeper was exquisite, and immediately realized, "Okay, I understand." The girl pays two spirit stones first, one is a deposit, and the other is the room fee, and stays for a day, okay? ”
Ye Zi responded happily, "Okay." ”
Immediately, the shopkeeper assigned Xiao Er to lead Ye Zi to the cave mansion, and after Xiao Er left, she hurriedly took out her soul protection array and put it on the cloth, and flashed into the jade pendant space.
Everything in the space is the same as before, the lattice-like medicinal fields are full of greenery, and all kinds of herbs grow neatly and green.
Xiao Bai lay lazily on the edge of the pond in the small bamboo pavilion that the leaves had built for it.
On the other side of the bamboo pavilion, next to the bamboo forest where the leaves were originally planted, a small single-story bamboo building has been built.
The bottom of the whole bamboo building is made of thick spotted bamboo, which is about 20 inches high above the ground. In front of the bamboo building is a small staircase made of bamboo poles, and when you walk up the stairs, there is a horizontal bamboo corridor.
The bamboo corridor connects the three rooms. There is a hut on the left and right, and in the middle is a very bright couch and living room.
Ye Zi walked straight into the hut on the left side of the bamboo building, where there were several bamboo platforms with Qiankun bags of different sizes on them.
She picked up one of the Qiankun bags, took out a few medicinal herbs from it, and then turned around and walked out of the hut, entering the hut on the right side of the bamboo corridor.
The house was relatively empty, with only a large wooden terrace and nothing else. Ye Zi took out the Hidden Dragon Pill Furnace, and placed the various medicinal materials for refining the Cold Spirit Pill on the wooden platform in turn.
Fortunately, the wooden platform is large enough, and there are a total of thirty-five kinds of herbs for refining the Cold Spirit Pill, which fills two-thirds of the wooden platform.
"Well, it looks like we'll need to add another wooden platform."
Ye Zi muttered quietly, Xiao Bai also walked in with her, rubbed her head against her thighs, and lay quietly on the side, watching her busy.
After cleaning the Dan furnace, drying it, and carefully sifting the medicinal herbs, she finally took out the Ice Arrow Grass in the jade box and carefully cut a small piece with a jade blade.
Ice arrow grass is as thick as a thumb and is about half a foot tall. If it is used to refine the cold elixir, it can be divided into ten parts.
Hope it succeeds!
Ye Zi prayed silently in his heart, and then slowly placed a cluster of flames under the Dan furnace, and after adjusting the flame to a moderate size, he officially began alchemy.
Half an hour later, the first twenty auxiliary medicinal materials perfectly fused into a boiling medicinal liquid, it was time to add the main medicine Ice Arrow Grass, Ye took out a Qi Nourishing Pill and took it, and after replenishing the aura in the body, he picked up the cut Ice Arrow Grass with jade tongs and threw it into the Dan furnace.
"Poof!"
The hot bubbling potion exploded with a "poof" at the moment when the Ice Arrow Grass was put in, and the splashed liquid spilled all over the entire Dan furnace. (To be continued.) )
