This time, Zu Zhenhui and his younger brother Zu Zhenlin came to Yingxue City to trade with the Yao family, and now the transaction is complete, and the Yao family has returned home because of urgency, and there is no need to gather to eat, entertain, and contact feelings as before. The two of them don't need to get up early, as for the rest of the trivial chores to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper here has been operating the shop for nearly ten years, meticulous, never big mistakes, no harmless small mistakes, and no one will find faults. So Zhenhui handed over the rest of the transaction to the shopkeeper, and he and his younger brother slept soundly.

On the third pole of the day, Zu Zhenhui and Zu Zhenlin got up, cleaned up, ate some food, filled their stomachs, and set off for Nancheng, the shopkeeper wanted to send some people to follow, so that there was something to take care of, Zhenhui refused, now the city is the safest, if they don't lose their minds, they have to protect the two brothers, show their attitude, at least on the surface.

Nancheng District is noticeably more lively, with vendor stalls abounding and the smell is enticing and mouthwatering. However, there are also foul-smelling and disgusting snacks, Zu Zhenlin smelled it and left quickly, and he was very puzzled why there were still many people buying it.

Zu Zhenhui saw it and explained: "It's stinky tofu, and I don't know what's delicious, but the people they like to eat it say it's delicious, and I haven't tried it." Would you like it? ”

Zu Zhenlin waved his hand, "Forget it, I still don't want to try it, I can't stand it when I smell it, if I eat it, I will spit out the breakfast again, what a shame." ”

Zu Zhenhui bought two strings of sugar gourds, the hawthorn was round and red, and it was wrapped in bright sugar coating, and he only needed three words, "Try this, sweet and sour." Actually, I would like to transplant a few hawthorn trees in our home, so that we can cook and eat them ourselves. Our family lives deep in the snow, and it's so inconvenient. ”

Zu Zhenlin ate one, and it was indeed as the eldest brother said, sweet and sour.

Nancheng District, Taobao Fence, is a place surrounded by fences and mud walls, which is very simple, with messy vendors and no planning.

Zu Zhenlin followed his eldest brother into it, aimlessly, casually looking. Some vendors shouted about the magic of their products, which also attracted a large crowd of people, but very few bought them. There are also some who are silent, just guarding their own stalls, pretending to be mysterious, but there are no people.

Zu Zhenlin followed his eldest brother and walked slowly, and found that in front of some of the stalls, there were many people, and there were obviously more people than other vendors.

Zu Zhenlin pointed to those vendors and asked, "Did those vendors have any treasures, so that some people are willing to pay?"

Zu Zhenhui nodded, "Yes, and more than once, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming forward." But most of them are more than worth the loss. ”

Sometimes, out of curiosity, the two of them would stop in front of the vendors, pick up nameless books and rummage through them, or check out the broken elixir. Zu Zhenlin's performance amused Zu Zhenlin, especially those who pretended to be deep, obviously breathing heavily when they picked up their things, staring at them with slightly open eyes.

The two of them stopped and went, and they didn't buy anything, but Zu Zhenlin bought some fun things, which had no practical value.

Zu Zhenhui stopped in front of a vendor with a large number of people, and looked at the transactions inside, "I spent a lot of money to buy things twice in the Taobao column, and all of them were gone, and they were here once, but I didn't expect that the things I bought last time had not been sold out." ”

Zu Zhenlin looked at what the eldest brother said, the size was like a quail egg, the surface was pure white, and there were flashes of light and shadow from time to time, "What is this, it also exudes aura, it should be a good thing, why don't you buy it?"

Zu Zhenhui sighed, "This is the elixir, but it is sealed in the danyu, so it has aura, in fact, no one knows how the elixir is." I didn't know it at first, I thought it was a good thing, so I bought it, and it cost me five hundred inferior spirit stones, but unfortunately all the medicinal properties were lost, and it was useless at all. ”

I have seen in the family's books about pills that some alchemy masters, after refining the top pills, if they do not take them immediately, but store them for a period of time, they will intercept part of the spirit stones, and seal the pills in it, because the spirit stones and jade look the same, so the spirit stones used to store the pills are called danyu. Of course, the residual medicinal effect of the elixir depends on the level of the spirit stone, the higher the level, the less medicinal properties the elixir dissipates, and the top-grade spirit stone can be stored for thousands of years.

Zu Zhenlin observed curiously, very interested.

Zu Zhenlin asked, "What is the effect of this elixir? Someone should have bought it or even eaten it, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so attractive." ”

"Yes, it is rumored that a wild cultivator and his companions are looking at things here, maybe it is too shabby, the hawker mocked a few words, that person was not popular, so he spent all the spirit stones on his body, and I heard that it was only a few dozen spirit stones. The peddler said that people slapped their swollen faces and filled them with fat, but Ye Xiu was angry, and he didn't leave, so he took out the pill in front of him, a total of three, and lived up to his expectations, and prescribed a intact pill in the third. At that time, it shook the Taobao column, overflowing with medicinal fragrance, refreshing and attracting onlookers. That Ye Xiu has earned face, but it has also caused trouble, how can this elixir be ordinary with such a vision? How can it not attract people's attention and make people greedy? Ye Xiu has never paid attention to morality, only attaches importance to profits, kills people and grabs treasures, for them, it is not strange that people drink water. That Ye Xiu was also wise, swallowed the pill on the spot, and sat on the ground to refine. Do you know? It took three full days for that wild cultivator to absorb it completely, and the realm was fully revealed, climbing all the way, ascending two realms in a row, from the Qi Fusion Realm to the peak of the Liquid Transformation Realm, which was the result of others who had practiced diligently for several years or even decades. He also accepted it when he saw it, and immediately left to consolidate the realm, so as not to ascend too quickly and fall into the hidden danger of a weak foundation. When the peddler saw this scene, his intestines were full of remorse, and he couldn't refuse in the face of the swarming buyers, but he raised the price to a medium spirit stone, which was equivalent to a thousand inferior spirit stones, an increase of a hundred times. However, in front of the pearl jade, there are always people who think that they are also favored by God, and their luck is off the charts, and those who are rich buy it, and the result can be imagined, no longer there is a pearl and jade, it is all rubble, and no one cares. This peddler also has some skills, but he did not lose his treasure and died, but still set up a stall safely. ”

"Big brother, aren't you just one of those people who tried their luck, did you miss?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

Zu Zhenhui argued: "Am I not? At that time, I had the same idea as when you first saw the pill, thinking that it was a good thing, and I didn't understand it at all. It wasn't until I finished buying it that I learned what was going on. No one was willing to spend a lot of money on bets anymore, and the hawker only lowered the price to three hundred inferior spirit stones, and I regretted it at that time. A year has passed, and there are still three left, and now no one is willing to buy them anymore. ”

"Since this elixir is so powerful, why don't the vendors keep it for themselves?" Zu Zhenlin wondered.

"It should be that the vendor has taken out the pills before, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and all of them were wasted, so he sold them so cheaply at the beginning. Even if the Ye Xiu in the back opened the treasure, he continued to sell it, but the price was raised. Zu Zhenhui replied.

Zu Zhenlin agreed with the eldest brother's statement, and looked at the old man in front of him, the old man was tall, slightly hunchbacked, and his temples were white. At this time, he had finished paying the spirit stones, and was ready to peel off the pill jade and take out the pill. The onlookers were more expectant than the old man.

Zu Zhenlin also wanted to see what it was like, but he accidentally found that there was a dilapidated book without a cover under the pill, the pattern on the book was complicated, the dots and lines were messy, and it looked like a formation book, but it was too complicated, not like the formation book at home.

The ancestral family has a large collection of books, and there are many sweat cows. Almost all of them are books about practice, classified according to medicine, qi, beasts, bodies, and arrays, and the importance is also arranged in this order, of course, these are for Zu Zhenlin, for some reason, Zhenlin has been required to read all the books since he was a child, but his brothers don't need to, just concentrate on practicing the exercises, fortunately Zhenlin still likes to read, otherwise he would have been flooded by the sea of books, but there are also times when he is upset and irritable, so he finds his father at that time, and asks noisily why his brothers don't need to read so many books, and he has to go to the study building. My father always said that when I grew up, I would tell the answer. Zhenlin still hasn't gotten an answer, and he has a feeling of being deceived, feeling that his father is just comforting him so that he can go to school again. From the beginning of his sensibility, Zhen Lin had a question about the study, why the medicine is in the first place, shouldn't the practitioner give priority to the exercises, and practice the aura? Even if the elixir can boost the realm and enhance the strength, it can only be an auxiliary, and the practitioner must not rely on external objects, otherwise it will be like a castle in the air, which looks gorgeous, but has no foundation, and it will be destroyed when touched. However, my father was also ambiguous and couldn't give a confirmed answer, only saying that it was the legacy of his ancestors. Zhenlin actually likes formation books very much, the formation is magical, just by placing the spirit stones according to the rules, you can play a strange effect, if it is an offensive and defensive formation, if the spirit stones are enough, the strength can even surpass that of his father and uncle. But my father said that he was putting the cart before the horse, and the formation was enough as long as he understood it, and he didn't need to study it deeply. When facing the enemy, you still have to pay attention to fist and foot moves, who will give you time, go to the spirit stone, make the formation, wait for you to do it, and then throw yourself into the net. After Zhenlin thought about it, he also agreed with his father's statement, but his interest in the formation was still undiminished, and his biggest wish was that one day, he would be able to put out a large array to protect the mountain, comparable to the family's formation, it is said that this large array can defend against the attack of the strongest rebirth realm master, but legend has it that Zhenlin has not seen the operation of the large array. The operation of the formation consumes spirit stones, the stronger the array, the more it consumes, if the family array is running, it is estimated that the father can be in pain for a month. Zhenlin is now mainly focusing on pills and exercises, and of course he will also understand formations. Came to the Taobao column, browsed and flipped through the books in these three aspects, but unfortunately I didn't see anything new, almost all of them were covered in the family library, and now I finally found something new, I was a little moved, but I thought of the eldest brother's advice, and I didn't rush to ask.

The old man peeled off the danyu, revealing that the pill wrapped inside was already dull and had no fragrance. The onlookers were a little disappointed and couldn't see the strange image, but after that, they gloated, although they didn't say anything sarcastic, but their expressions were obviously that the old man was stupid and had a lot of money.

The old man didn't care about the gains and losses of the spirit stone, and the three fingers of his right hand pressed the pill into powder, and then left.

When the crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, they gradually dispersed. Zu Zhenlin came to the stall, pretending to be careless, looking through books, herbs and miscellaneous items.

The boss sits in a chair, drinks tea, and is indifferent, probably because he has seen too many people who just look at it and don't buy it.

"Why, if you want to try your luck too, then buy it, anyway, hundreds of spirit stones are nothing to me, and there are more than these red envelopes for the New Year. Zhenhui whispered.

"Big brother, aren't you bad at money? Why do you want me to pay? Zu Zhenlin retorted.

Zu Zhenhui smiled: "I haven't tried it yet, my luck is not good, it can only depend on you." ”

While Zu Zhenlin was talking, he kept paying attention to the books under the pill, and found that it was indeed a formation, and he had never seen it, judging from the complexity of the formation on the first page, it was absolutely precious, and it should not be a few hundred inferior spirit stones that could be bought.

Zu Zhenlin picked up the two pills, and then took some herbs and books, "Boss, how many spirit stones do these things cost?"

The peddler glanced at it, "One thousand and one hundred inferior spirit stones." ”

Zu Zhenlin took out a thousand spirit stones from the storage ring, picked up the broken book, and wrapped the small objects in it, "Boss, forget about a thousand, how about it?"

The peddler looked at it and took the money.

Zu Zhenlin handed over a pill to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother was not polite, put it away, and then the two continued to shop.
