In the eyes of Master Gao of the blacksmith shop, the object painted by Li Wenxuan was a strange alchemy furnace. He happened to leave a finished alchemy furnace cancelled by a Taoist temple on Longhu Mountain here. Master Gao, who wanted to dispose of this one thing that was staying here and occupying a place, recommended it to the Xiucai Gong in front of him.

There are ready-made goods, there is no need to wait for a long time, and he walked directly to Li Wenxuan next to the alchemy furnace, and took a closer look. I found that the front and back of the furnace in front of me were engraved with the same function as the thing I wanted, so I didn't insist on what I had drawn, and then casually asked about the price.

Master Gao, who didn't plan to extort bamboo and didn't plan to extort it, had the greatest wish to be able to sell it, so he offered a fair price of six hundred taels of silver, after all, the entire alchemy furnace was highly processed, took a long time, was taller than an adult man's height, covered an area of half a meter, and was made of a large amount of bronze and iron.

Although Li Wenxuan and Master Gao had some bargaining, there was no result. Master Gao, who did not give in a penny, insisted on asking for six hundred taels of silver, and the confidence came from the fact that there is Longhu Mountain located here, and there are many Taoist temples on the mountain, so he does not worry that it will rot in his hands and cannot be sold.

Li Wenxuan, who patted the alchemy furnace, heard the echo of "bang bang bang", so he made a big move. After taking out six hundred taels of silver tickets and ten taels of cash, he did not regret buying the alchemy furnace in front of him and the three items he customized. Master Gao, who counted the money clearly, didn't say anything more, and simply asked Li Wenxuan's address, promising to deliver the goods to his home.

Li Wenxuan, who finished his work at the blacksmith shop, did not go home, and then went to the medicinal herb shop to purchase a large number of various medicinal materials, and then went to the silversmith shop to book the next set of milli needles in full. In the past, the needles were made of stainless steel, but in this life, they are made of silver or gold. Even if you are not shy in your pocket, you will not customize the gold needle, after all, the effect of the silver needle can also test the poison.

Li Wenxuan, who had been busy for nearly a day, bought futons, dust and other items. He had made a real big purchase, and he had already spent the thousand taels of silver in his pocket. The next thing he planned to do was to sell all his fields for silver, after all, the amount of medicinal materials he bought was not only small, but also the lack of such valuable medicinal materials as ginseng and lingzhi.

Li Wenxuan, who made up his mind on the road, did not think about the consequences. Having prepared for the worst, he decided that even if his plan was not successful, he would not be unable to survive to the point of starvation. After all, he could rely on the medicinal materials he had hoarded and the medical skills he was good at, and there would be no problem in supporting himself and Zhao Tian'er.

Half a pillar of incense passed, and Li Wenxuan, who returned home, saw that his house was no longer as close to the original wall, and he felt a sense of home in his heart. Zhao Tian'er, who didn't know why he would buy the alchemy furnace, had to deliberately put this valuable gadget priced at six hundred taels of silver in an empty room. Anyway, this home is already less crowded and more rooms, so I don't have to worry about having no place to put it.

Li Wenxuan, who was sitting on the chair, showed a lot of fatigue on his face, and he was relieved that there was finally a chair to sit on at home. He shook his sleeves twice, didn't forget to take out the only twelve taels of silver left in it and put it on the table, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Tian'er, you put away this silver quickly, otherwise I will spend no money to buy rice." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who had gradually become sensible, approached his side, really didn't want to believe a fact, and said in surprise: "You won't spend the thousand taels of silver you brought out of the city to this point!" ”

Li Wenxuan, who nodded, said with a wry smile: "I also plan to sell all our family's land and property for silver flowers." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who has always been very obedient, heard him say this, and she was very anxious in her heart. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still decisively pulled off the gold hairpin he had just bought on his head, and objected: "You can't do this, after all, it is an ancestral property." It's better to return this hairpin. Actually, I don't like to wear this thing either. ”

"You still keep it, and then you can talk about it when you can't open the pot." Li Wenxuan, who had made up his mind, looked at her and said sincerely: "Even if I return your golden hairpin, I will still sell the land." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who didn't understand at all, blinked at him with big eyes, and in her heart she already felt that his temperament had changed greatly since he came back to life. No matter what she did or what she said, she found that Li Wenxuan was becoming more and more incomprehensible and decisive, not as gentle as in the past, focusing on his career and not asking about the world.

Zhao Tian'er, who put the golden hairpin back on, still decided to keep it by herself temporarily, if it was like what he said, she could really sell her life. Without much persuasion, she still can't forget her identity as Li Wenxuan's maid. Even if he has already called his wife outside, she is happy in her heart at most, and she does not have too many delusions.

Zhao Tian'er, who collected the twelve taels of broken silver on the table, knew in her heart that if the two of them lived at home, then these silver coins were enough to ensure that there were fish and meat for a year. Zhao Tian'er, who poured tea for Li Wenxuan again, then turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After drinking water and quenching his thirst, Li Wenxuan stood up and left the main hall to sort out the things he had purchased. Naturally, a futon he bought back was thrown away not far from the alchemy furnace, and the medicinal materials he bought back had been recognized since he was a child, but there was no place to put them, so he planned to go to the furniture store tomorrow to buy a shelf for placing medicinal materials, and then go to the good tooth man to sell all the fields outside the city.

Before Zhao Tian'er called him to eat, Li Wenxuan had been studying the alchemy furnace. One side of this thing can be placed in dry wood or coal to make a fire, and the middle of the furnace can be used to add various materials for refining various elixirs. Li Wenxuan, who understands the way of traditional Chinese medicine, understands very well in his heart that the elixir refined by the ancient Taoists is actually a form of Chinese patent medicine. It's just that at that time, the awareness level of the vast majority of Daoists was effective, and the addition of a large amount of various metals to the Chao Dan medicine would cause people to have problems swallowing it. In fact, metal can also be used in medicinal materials to cure diseases, but the amount and ratio of additives need to be strictly controlled.

Li Wenxuan, who was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, is no stranger to making Chinese patent medicines, after all, there are always secret recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. As for the process of making secret recipes independently, it is the production of proprietary Chinese medicines. The alchemy furnace in front of him can be regarded as the most rudimentary form of the boiler in later generations. Li Wenxuan, who walked out of the room, smiled knowingly, and decided to nominate his studio as an alchemy room by himself after eating, and by the way, he would find a carpenter master tomorrow to make another plaque to hang up.

Zhao Tian'er, who had set up the meal in the flower hall, waited until he sat down, and Li Wenxuan saw that she still hadn't completely let go, and said seriously: "Now, you and I are a family, so there is no need to be so restrained." If you want, you can call me brother. If you don't treat me as an outsider, just call me anything. Even if you call me a pig's head, I won't be angry. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who nodded with a smile, thought in the other direction in her heart and said, "I don't dare to call you a pig's head!" That's scolding you. Tian'er didn't want to beg for a fight. ”

The name of the pig's head in later generations is not a curse, but has existed as a term of endearment for a long time, which made Li Wenxuan laugh and said: "You are sensible and well-behaved, I am afraid that it will be too late for you to hurt you, but I am reluctant to beat you." ”

Zhao Tian'er, whose buttocks left the round stool, leaned forward slightly, her hands were gently skirted, her heart had already soaked in honey, and she said with shame: "That's there." You'll make people happy. I'm not sensible, and I'm not well-behaved enough. ”

Li Wenxuan, who suddenly felt that teasing the little girl was fun, had already seen her girlish feelings and innocence towards herself, and couldn't help but want to tease further: "If you think you're stupid and not cute, then it's like that." Still, I like it. ”

Zhao Tian'er's fair face was covered with a layer of red, and she turned around and sat down slowly, lowering her head slightly. Biting her lower lip gently, she began to rub the corners of her clothes again, without saying a word.

Li Wenxuan, who noticed her delicate appearance, would not feel hungry without eating, so he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Tian'er, you have also grown up." Tonight, I'll ask you to warm my bed. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tian'er's whole person seemed to be ignited, her face and ears were already as red as the burning clouds in the sky, she covered her little face with her hands, shook her head and said angrily: "I hate you." ”

Li Wenxuan, who held her chin with her left hand, saw that she had never experienced personnel and was thin-skinned, completely different from the girls of later generations. If you talk and laugh like this with a girl you know well in the 21st century, you will never provoke the other party to be red and embarrassed. Most of them will nod their heads with a smile on their faces, and say with a flattering look, okay, I'll be waiting for you in bed tonight!

Li Wenxuan, who was restrained, no longer continued to tease Zhao Tian'er, lest she be shy and unable to get off the stage, so he picked up his rice bowl and ate. Seeing that he was not speaking, she put down her hands that were covering her face. Her face was still flushed, but it didn't stop her from picking up the chopsticks on the table and putting food in his bowl.

Li Wenxuan truly realized in the dark that "the blessings and misfortunes are relied on, and the blessings and misfortunes are lurking". Although he died in a car accident in his previous life, it is not bad to travel here. A girl like Zhao Tianer may be on the verge of extinction in modern times. It was a blessing that he was able to meet him.

Zhao Tian'er, who saw that he was eating well, was satisfied, and casually asked about the alchemy furnace and other things that Li Wenxuan had bought: "Do you really plan to cultivate the Dao alchemy?" ”

"Hmm. I told you a long time ago that there was an immortal who said that I was related to him. Li Wenxuan, who was kind-hearted, made up a white lie and said: "He is willing to accept me as a closed disciple, so there is no reason why I am unwilling." The things I bought back were all bought by him dictately. ”
