Chapter 67: Then to Mount Tai

Gently extinguishing the charcoal fire and smelling the aroma from the Dan furnace, Cheng Yanjin was in high spirits, and couldn't wait to step forward and lift the lid of the Dan furnace. Looking at the three milky white pills lying quietly in the Dan furnace, Cheng Yanjin didn't realize that the lid of the Dan furnace in his hand was mercilessly burning his left hand, and his right hand reached into the Dan furnace, Cheng Yanjin gently took out the three Heavenly King Baoxin Pills.

According to the annotations on the "Summary of Alchemy", if you follow the steps written above, you can at least refine five Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pills. It's a pity that Cheng Yanjin was not originally an alchemist, and he was already very happy to be able to refine this elixir.

As for why only three finished pills were refined, instead of the lowest five finished pills mentioned in the book, it was because there were mistakes in the process of operation, or when he began to prepare for alchemy, he did not strictly follow the requirements of the "Summary of Alchemy" to fast, clean the crown, kneel and hold the medicine furnace, face the south and pray to the Great Dao Tianzun, and select a good day and auspicious day, build an altar to burn a talisman seal, and insert a sword and ancient mirror in the furnace.

What is the reason why Cheng Biting Jin doesn't care so much, anyway, with these three Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pills, Hou Junji's life will be saved for the time being, and he will have time to go out and find the other medicinal materials needed to refine the Nine Transformations Soul Pill.

Instructed a few salt gang disciples outside the valley to guard the exit well, and Cheng Yanjin took the pill and went to the city. Watching Hou Junji eat it, Cheng Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief. took out a few gold bars, turned his head and threw them to the old man next to him, "Thank you brother for taking care of me these days, but this person is not awake, but he still has to stay with you for a while, so it will trouble the old brother a lot!" ”

Lao Langzhong repeatedly admitted, "There is no problem, you can stay as long as you want!" The few gold bars that Cheng Biting Jin gave him were enough to cover his income for several years, and he wished that this person would stay here all the time, and he would not have to work as hard as before to make a living.

When he returned home and went to his mother to say goodbye, Cheng Yanjin returned to his house with a tired face. As soon as she entered the door, the servant woman Yang thoughtfully walked up with a hot towel and put a face on Cheng Yanjin, and the warm feeling suddenly made Cheng Yanjin feel extremely comfortable.

Lying on the bed and enjoying Yang's considerate service, Cheng Yanjin admired in his heart that the old lady had finally done a good thing for herself. This Yang family was personally selected for him by Cheng Yanjin's mother. Originally, his mother found him a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old handsome girls to serve him, but Cheng Yanjin said that he didn't want anything, and in desperation, his wife had to find him an older woman to serve him.

This Yang family is a foreigner, who fled here alone and was taken in by Cheng Yanjin's mother. His mother was really distressed when she saw that Cheng Yanjin was often running around, so she sent this very good Yang family to Cheng Yanjin, so that her son could be more comfortable at home.

Like the women who came to serve Cheng Yanjin before, this Yang family was also put to bed by Cheng Yanjin. Although she is older than the previous women, her appearance is still beautiful, and she is also more considerate than those young women, so this Yang family has been by Cheng Yanjin's side for more than a year and has not been replaced by Cheng Yanjin, which is really something that has never happened since Cheng Yanjin became the leader of the Salt Gang.

After staying in the gentle township for more than ten days, Cheng Yanjin said goodbye to his mother and took several brothers from the Salt Gang to drive a carriage to Mount Tai. The brothers he brought with him this time have all cultivated their internal strength and stepped into the martial arts, and this time he brought them out because he needed to summon them this time, and secondly, he also hoped that these people would have a long experience and see the world.

At the foot of Mount Tai, a group of seven people came to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and settled the carriage. This farmer was originally a wind chime arranged by the Salt Gang here, and since the last time Cheng Yanjin went to Mount Tai, he arranged for this person to settle here, in order to be able to get some news of the market on the mountain in time.

He took out a few heavy packages from the carriage, carried one on his back, and then Cheng Yanjin led them towards the mountain. Walking smoothly into the crypt, Cheng Yanjin looked around, didn't see Xu Yuanlang, and was a little disappointed, at this time a sharp-eyed guy ran over, "Welcome senior, I don't know what Brother Dao needs?" Younger generations can serve on their behalf! ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at this guy's clothes, and immediately understood that this was also the leading disciple of the 'Stability and Unity' Alliance, so he asked, "If you want to issue a task to find medicinal materials, where do you need to go to handle it?" ”

The leading disciple said respectfully: "Brother Dao, please here!" As he spoke, he bent down and walked in front to lead the way for Cheng Biting Jin.

This time he came here, Cheng Yanjin used his true face, anyway, he had already found out last time, the probability of a character like You Niaoti coming to this market is as low as walking to pick up silver, so he doesn't have to hide anything, and this time he also brought his brothers, how could he be embarrassed in front of them.

The leading disciple originally saw that Cheng Yanjin was not very old, so he didn't think so, after all, he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he knew that the older the alchemist and the qi refiner were, the deeper the cultivation, unless a young man in his twenties like Cheng Yanjin was talented, how high could his martial arts cultivation be!

It was only when Cheng Yanjin said that he was going to release the task that the disciple was a little shocked. The handling fee required to issue a task is extremely expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford, so only those alchemists who have deep pockets and are in urgent need of some kind of medicinal materials will issue a task. Cheng Yanjin in front of him looks like he is not much different in age, but he can have such a heroic spirit, and he doesn't know which sect's disciple he is.

Following behind the disciples, Cheng Yanjin came to the place where the task was issued, and couldn't help laughing. The disciple led him into the only restaurant in the cave market.

Ignoring the guests who were drinking on the first floor, the leading disciple in front of him directly took Cheng Yanjin upstairs, came to the old shopkeeper who was leaning against the counter to check the account books, bowed respectfully to the old man, and said to the leading disciple, "Uncle Wu Tian, this Daoist brother wants to issue a task?" ”

The old man raised his head, looked Cheng Yanjin and the others up and down, the look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then nodded to the leading disciple and said, "You go down first," and stretched out his finger to Cheng Yanjin and the others, "Several, please take a seat!" ”

Cheng Yanjin handed the package in his hand to the subordinates next to him, and then sat down with a grin, and the six subordinates were accustomed to standing behind him. Looking at this posture, Wu Tian smiled at Cheng Yanjin, "I don't know what kind of task Your Excellency needs to issue?" ”

"I want to buy some medicinal herbs below, this is the list, please take a look at the seniors!" Looking at the list of medicinal materials handed over by Cheng Yanjin, Wu Tian's face changed slightly, and he raised his head and said to Cheng Yanjin, "Your Excellency, these medicinal materials are all high-grade elixirs, and the price is expensive, and they may not be able to receive them, just release the task, and the task will charge a tael of gold for every day it hangs, Your Excellency?" ”

Before Wu Tian finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin said magnificently, "It's okay, the seniors just need to release the task, as for the handling fee, the juniors can pay a month in advance!" Saying that, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, and one of his subordinates standing behind him strode forward, came to the ground in front of the counter and put down the burden in his hand, and then gently untied it, and suddenly a dazzling yellow light illuminated the entire house.

When Wu Tian took a closer look, he was suddenly startled, and it turned out that what was in the burden was all gold bars and gold bricks. Looking at the six packages on the backs of the five people behind Cheng Biting Jin, Wu Tian's pupils suddenly constricted, if these packages were like this, how much gold would they have? What is the origin of this person in front of you? Looking at his dress, he doesn't look like a relative of the emperor, could it be that a certain anti-king is coming?

It's no wonder that Wu Tian thinks like this, in this chaotic world, in addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, only those anti-thief leaders who rebel and claim the throne can take it out. Although it is said that those top gangs and martial arts families in the rivers and lakes can also take out this gold, but the people who come here to trade are all pills, and only those nouveau riche who participate in the worldly hegemony will use the gold to buy and sell items.

Cheng Yanjin didn't know that Wu Tian was arranging him in his heart, and seeing the package open, Cheng Yanjin said to Wu Tian, "Senior, in addition to paying enough for a month, the junior also wants to exchange for some inferior Guiyuan Jindan to buy something here!" ”

"Oh? I don't know how much Guiyuan Jindan you want? ”

Looking at Wu Tian's smiling expression, Cheng Yanjin said proudly, "The junior intends to exchange for two hundred Guiyuan Golden Pills, I don't know if the seniors have enough pills here?" ”

Wu Tian was taken aback, good guy, it is really the handiwork of the nouveau riche, it is really big enough, you must know that two hundred Guiyuan Golden Pills are exchanged for gold, but it is 20,000 taels, such a large amount is rarely seen. However, the alliance is most welcome to this kind of person, and the profit from trading with them once is equivalent to a month's income of the alliance.

Wu Tian opened the account book on the counter and inquired about it, and then raised his head and said to Cheng Yanjin, "Two hundred Guiyuan Golden Pills are a bit too much, and they need to be transferred from the warehouse, Your Excellency, how about you wait a while?" ”

Cheng bit Jin's heart, he exchanged for two hundred Guiyuan Golden Pills at a time, although he had some intention of showing off, but he also had the intention of testing the strength of this 'stability and unity' alliance. This alliance occupies this feng shui treasure and makes a lot of money, he has long been greedy, and he has always had the intention to control this money-making business in his hands, so he sang the one just now.

As soon as he heard this Wu Tian say that the two hundred pills would be brought soon, Cheng Yanjin was suddenly a little jealous of the strength of this alliance, as we all know, the refining of pills is not an easy job, Cheng Yanjin himself can barely be regarded as a half-baked alchemist, naturally knows the difficulties, and this alliance can come up with so many pills at once, obviously the background is very rich, for such a powerful alliance, Cheng Yanjin naturally can't do it casually, the province will set himself on fire, and kill himself.

In exchange for two hundred Guiyuan gold pills, there were only a few hundred catties of gold left in the gold that came out this time, Cheng Biting Jin carried the gold behind him, took the lead down to the second floor, and went straight out of the restaurant. Standing at the door of the restaurant, Cheng Yanjin turned his head to the six subordinates behind him and said, "Go!" Go to work, Lao Tzu go shopping, which gets things done and goes back with a lot of rewards! ”

Seeing that the six people walked to the bustling place of the bazaar in three groups, opened the banner in his hand and held it high, Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the entrance of the auction house in the underground secret room. The three banners behind him read, "High price acquisition of Mingkai night flowers, blood coral, drunken begonia roots, clear bones, yin and yang grass, Baise flowers, absolutely high prices, some hurry up, don't be afraid that I don't have money, I'm afraid you don't have goods!" ”

This piece was inspired by the martial arts monks who set up stalls in this bazaar, and he went back to meditate for a few days to write, the six medicinal materials on it are the medicinal materials used in the preparation of the Nine Turning Soul Pills, he wrote these medicinal materials in full, but he was not afraid of being guessed by others The formula of the pill, not to mention that the formula was not fully written, that is, it was written completely, without three years and five years of hard work, others did not want to successfully refine the pill.
