Fifty-fifty?

Sounds good.

Chu Tianxiu smashed his mouth and pondered for a while.

But is he the kind of person who covets money? He wept at the palace banquet, crying to offer the elixir to fulfill his filial piety for the Empress Dowager Shen, just to get the 50,000 taels of silver?

Soon, Chu Tianxiu showed an extremely determined look and shook his head.

No!

He didn't ask for fifty thousand taels of silver.

"What, fifty-fifty, still not satisfied?"

Li naturally saw that Xiao Duhou actually refused, and immediately became furious, slapped the stone table and got up, and said: "Xiao Duhou, although you have made great efforts and taken a huge risk, but Poor Dao has also taken a risk of life and death, okay!"

Without the presence of Poor Dao, how could you have fooled so much silver?

The poor road retreats the last step, six or four points! Less than 40,000 taels of silver, poor and poor. You can refine this elixir as much as you like, and the poor Dao wants to go to the palace to surrender, so he said that I can't refine this elixir, please be smart. ”

"Deal!"

Chu Tianxiu instantly showed a bright smile, grasped the old fairy's excited hand with emotion, and said vigorously: "The old fairy is really happy, my little faint marquis is very satisfied with the share of June Fourth, and I like to deal with a cheerful person like you the most."

is not like those Jinling tycoons, so rich, but so stingy, the one who picks the door is going to die, and the debt collection is chased to the family. I don't like dealing with them the most. ”

"Uh..."

Xiao Duhou's face changed so quickly that Li Tiantian Old Immortal couldn't react a little, and was stunned on the spot.

But Li naturally felt the sincerity of Chu Tianxiu's vigorous grip with both hands.

"Little Marquis, Poor Dao is also a person who is a governor! As long as the conditions are negotiated, there is nothing that cannot be solved. ”

Old Immortal Li also smiled, and his tone softened greatly.

Although the big and the little marquis and him, the old god, the two joined forces to pit 100,000 taels of silver from the hands of the prince and grandson, and they did a little unkind.

But the royal descendants have their own money, and there are countless fiefs, fiefs, and fields, and they are not short of this bit of silver.

The little dusk marquis came early and asked him for silver, how good! He was also able to sleep two more days and get a good night's sleep.

Knowing what Xiao Duhou wanted to do, he had a bottom in his heart and was much more down-to-earth. After dividing the silver, he and Xiao Duhou are Taoist friends in the same ditch.

Over the years, he just had to enjoy the luxurious life of Jinling City with peace of mind.

Maybe in the past two years, Xiao Duhou can introduce some "business" and fool some silver.

As for the future, when he finally enjoyed a few years of Qingfu in Jinling City and arranged the way to escape, he donated money and fled... Flee to the countryside and spend the rest of your life.

He's seventy or eighty, he's enjoyed it, and he's not at a loss.

"If there is such a big business in the future, then look for a poor road! The ability of the poor road is all on this. ”

"It's a small meaning, there are many wealthy families in Jinling, wrap it up on me! Sixty-four points, say okay! ”

Chu Tianxiu patted his chest and said.

"No problem!"

Li said naturally.

Chun Yuchun was drinking a little wine next to him, looking at his nose and nose, and he couldn't hear what others said.

The little dusk marquis and the old god stick, with their ability to form a group to fool, take the silver earned by their lives.

Nor is he jealous.

Each has its own pursuit, each has its own way of living.

"The money is settled. Let's talk about the Immortal Pill again, the Dan still has to be refined! Take out some money from your 40,000 taels of silver to buy alchemy materials. ”

Chu Tianxiu said.

The old Taoist priest Li Tiantian was holding up the cup, and with a "poof" sound, he squirted out the tea, and almost fainted.

Why?

If you take 60,000 taels of silver and don't give up, you still have to force this way to alchemy?

"You took away 60,000 taels of silver, and I only had 40,000 taels of silver. Why do you have to take silver to buy materials for alchemy, why don't you hang yourself! ”

Lee, naturally, couldn't believe it.

"Don't deceive the little marquis who doesn't understand. Refining a broken pill, where do you need 40,000 taels of silver, who is the old fairy fooling? ”

Chu Tianxiu was disdainful.

Since ancient times, ninety percent of the cost of refining elixir has been eaten by Taoist priests. If one percent can be used in alchemy, it is the conscience of heaven and earth.

Chu Tianxiu sat down on a stone chair next to him and said, "You have to do a full set of plays!" Otherwise, if it is exposed in the palace, you and I will not be able to live a good day. No matter what, you have to refine a pill to come out and make a difference! ”

"There seems to be some truth to that.... However, the elixir of immortality refined by the poor Dao, the rich and noble people ate it... Looks like they're going to die faster! ”

Li naturally shook his head.

He has experience in this area and doesn't dare to mess around at all.

If Empress Dowager Shen eats the Immortal Pill and dies, he is afraid that he will be chased and killed by the soldiers of Dachu if he escapes to the ends of the earth.

He might as well not practice.

"Then you refine the elixir of immortality!"

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

"Poor Dao, don't I know what I'm capable of? I can refine it, and I still need you to say it. ”

Li was naturally annoyed.

Chu Tianxiu smiled and said, "Old immortal, if you don't refine, how can you know that you can't refine it?" The day before yesterday, you didn't know that you would suddenly have tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Maybe if you refine more, you will suddenly refine a good elixir, even if it is not an immortal pill, Yishou Dan, Dabu Dan, Wufa Dan or something, it's okay.

Maybe you can still be fooled by you, and the Queen Mother will be satisfied and will not pursue you! You don't have to flee to the mountains, you can stay in Jinling City to recuperate. ”

“...？”

Li was naturally puzzled.

How else can it be done?

He was somewhat persuaded by Chu Tianxiu's three-inch incorruptible tongue.

But he couldn't figure out what Xiao Duhou wanted to do in his alchemy.

Xiao Duhou was actually more confident than him, an old alchemist.

"The old immortal must have had experience in alchemy before, give me your pill recipe, I'll help you take a look, and give me some guidance! Maybe this refinement will be done. ”

Chu Tianxiu crossed Erlang's legs and said.

"You know alchemy?"

Li was naturally deeply skeptical.

"Of course! This little marquis is a thousand-year-old family heirloom, and he has known alchemy since the ancestor King Chu. In the Yan Kingdom back then, alchemy was the craziest. The king of Chu also specially sent someone to ask for detailed advice, do you think I know much?! ”

Chu Tianxiu said.

“...”

Li naturally choked up suddenly.

Not to mention.

Xiao Duhou may know more alchemy than him.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the alchemists of the Yan Kingdom were the earliest group of alchemy alchemists, who spent their lives refining elixirs for King Yan and the ancestors of the alchemy world.

Since the beginning of the Yan Kingdom, the princes of various countries have fallen in love with alchemy and have been pursuing elixir hard.

The alchemists of later generations are the grandchildren of those alchemists.

Of course, Li naturally had some pill recipes in his hand, all of which were all kinds of alchemy recipes that the Taoist priests of Xuanwu Temple had painstakingly collected and accumulated, and there were quite a few of them.

It's just that he doesn't know what the origin of these Dan recipes is and who made it up.

Although it is claimed to be the secret recipe of the elixir, it is actually not very valuable.

The main thing is the various materials of alchemy.... The process of opening the furnace for alchemy consumes materials and manpower.

Li naturally wanted to understand this, but he was moved.

He immediately summoned the temple to fetch the dozens of copies of various Danfang and treasure boxes that he had painstakingly collected.

Take out the bronze key, open the treasure box, and ask the little dusk to take a look.

Chu Tianxiu took these Dan recipes and selected them carefully.

There are two types of mainstream alchemy in ancient times, fire alchemy and water alchemy.

Water alchemy.

He remembered that there was a great achievement in the ancient Chinese water alchemy, which was to refine tofu. Since then, the Chinese people have their favorite soybean milk, water tofu, and various fancy tofu dishes for breakfast.

I have to praise that the brains of the ancients are big.

Fire alchemy is to heat all kinds of metals. Repeatedly calcining, refining, broiling, melting, steaming, flying, volting, etc.

The favorite alchemy material is dansha, which is red mercury sulfide.

As soon as the dansha is heated, it decomposes into a round and flowing mercury. Put mercury and sulfur together, and it quickly turns into black mercury sulfide. After a little heating, it becomes dansha again.

The ancients were very obsessed with mercury.

This thing is amazing, it can be refined with all kinds of metals, and then the Taoist priest was pleasantly surprised to find that he could "turn stones into gold" and create fake gold and silver.

These ancient alchemy Taoists are a group of Taoists who deeply love chemistry and fraud.

Of course, Chu Tianxiu was not interested in the highly poisonous mercury, so he picked out a few Danfangs.

These few points of Danfang have a common feature, there are sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, dried soap and other good things.

Of course, there are other miscellaneous ingredients.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, alchemy is your own little life, and you keep taking risks.

Let Immortal Li play slowly... I hope he won't be killed by the Dan furnace.

It would have been great if Old Immortal Li and his alchemy disciples had "accidentally" experimented with the "fried pill" one day and were ecstatic to present it to the emperor.

If they are stupid and can't figure it out, they don't hesitate to give a little hint and guidance.

"The other Dan recipes are all fake, and later generations forged them to cheat the silver!

These three Dan recipes are ancient recipes, which come from the true recipes handed down from the Spring and Autumn Yan Kingdom. You follow these three, mix them together, and try a few more times! Maybe you're developed? ”

Chu Tianxiu disdained the other dozens of Dan Fang, leaving three copies and said.

"The ancient recipe of Yan Kingdom is actually such a good baby?!"

Li naturally touched his head, and the hand holding the Danfang was trembling slightly, surprised.

Xiao Duhou said this very confidently, from the thousand-year-old princely royal family, he may really recognize the origin of the ancient recipe.

For the first time, he felt as if he really had the hope of refining the elixir.
