Once had the energy to watch the task in the middle of the night, Lin Dong was much calmer this time, and quickly adjusted his mentality, discarded the distractions in his mind, and entered a state of concentration.

Unlike the last time I waited for an upgrade mission in the middle of the night, the last time was the last guest of the day. And this time it was the first guest of the next day, so there was no need to calculate the time, as long as it was past midnight, the first guest to enter the door was the target.

10 weeks, 20 weeks, 30 weeks...... Time passed, Lin Dong was immersed in cultivation, and just as he was getting carried away, a knock on the door finally sounded.

When I opened my eyes and looked up at the paper window, it was white, and the light in the lobby also had a tendency to vaguely cover the oil lamp, obviously it was already early in the morning, and it was not far from the opening time of the inn.

Lin Dong got up, straightened his somewhat messy robe, came to the door, and took off a piece of the door panel.

Outside the door, stood a young man dressed as a retinue and carrying a burden.

Looking up at Lin Dong's clothes, the young man was a little puzzled: "Are you an inn?" ”

"It's an inn!" Lin Dong knew that the young man was puzzled that he was not dressed like a man, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of my inn, the guest officer, is it to stay or eat?" ”

The young man suddenly explained, and after explaining the accommodation, he did not enter the door, but shouted behind him: "Master, the door has been opened." ”

Lin Dong couldn't help but remove the door panel again, only to find that there was still a carriage parked at the door.

In the carriage, an old man over fifty years old, with a white beard and a blue satin shirt, lifted the curtain and walked down with the support of the young man.

Lin Dong hurriedly smiled, turned sideways a little, and stared at the threshold.

"Shopkeeper Lin, please call a guy to help settle the carriage and prepare some forage." The young man spoke.

"The inn hasn't opened yet, the two of you will come in first, and the carriage will be bolted outside the door for a while, and there will be a guy coming soon." Lin Dong apologized: "If you neglect something, please forgive me." ”

The old man nodded, and the young man didn't say much, helping the old man to walk slowly to the door.

"Master, be careful!"

In front of the threshold, under the reminder of the young man, the old man raised his right foot and stepped into the inn under Lin Dong's scorching gaze.

The mission goal is out.

Seeing that everything was taken care of by the young man, Lin Dong couldn't help but look at him and asked, "What do you call the two?" ”

"It's okay for the shopkeeper Lin to call me Zhang Shun, this is my master, surnamed Liu." The youth explained.

"Master Liu, Brother Zhang, it's not too early, do you want to have breakfast first and then arrange accommodation?" Lin Dong asked.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at Master Liu.

Master Liu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Let's arrange accommodation first! My lord has been tired all night in order to keep the green dream blooming, and he will eat it after waking up. Zhang Shun untied the money bag on his body, took out a tael of silver from it and handed it to Lin Dong: "One upper room and one lower room, it should only live for one day." ”

"Okay, please wait a moment."

It's only been a day, and I undoubtedly have to get the task out as soon as possible. Fortunately, the master and servant don't look like people who are difficult to talk to, if it is not some secret, it should not be too difficult.

Lin Dong came to the counter, took out pen and ink and account books, pondered for a moment, and took advantage of the registration time to ask like a family chatter: "Just now Brother Zhang said that Master Liu kept watch for a night of green dreams, you won't enter the city in the middle of the night, right?" By then, the gates must have been closed. ”

"It is true that I entered the city in the middle of the night, and my lord can't stand the cold, so he can only go into the city to stay." Zhang Shun casually explained: "The closing of the city gate is not a big deal, and you can open the door with two taels of silver." ”

"Can you spend money to have the guards open the door secretly?" Lin Dong was stunned.

"Hmmm! Shopkeeper Lin should rarely be discharged from the hospital, right? Zhang Shun is obviously also a talkative person, and he couldn't help laughing: "My lord and I often go back and forth to major prefectures and counties, and it is common to enter the city in the middle of the night. After that, nine times out of ten, it was successful, but there was something different in terms of silver. Shopkeeper Lin definitely couldn't guess that the most expensive was not the county seat, but the county seat. In the county seat, only one tael of silver is enough, and two taels of silver in the government city is enough, but the county town needs five taels of silver. ”

"It may be that there are very few dignitaries and nobles in other places in the county, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the officials in the county town are already bold and fat in Beppu City, so when they encounter a fish, they dare to open their mouths." Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Hey, why didn't I think of that?" Zhang Shun patted his head and couldn't help but praise: "It's still the shopkeeper Lin who is smart, and he heard the reason as soon as he heard it." ”

Master Liu also nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Lin Dong's judgment.

A good start is half the battle, seeing that the two of them were not wary of themselves, Lin Dong no longer used the registration to delay the time, and after closing the registered account book, he said: "Later, the two of you, I'll go and get off the carriage first and then take you upstairs?" ”

The master and servant are not only easy to talk to, but also very stylish. Seeing that Lin Dong was only one person, it would inevitably cause misunderstanding, so he immediately followed Lin Dong to the door and exposed himself to his sight as much as possible.

Although Lin Dong didn't care if the two of them would make something bad at the counter, this move still made Lin Dong feel good.

While tying the reins firmly to the pillar in front of the door, Lin Dong looked up at the two of them pretending to be bored, and asked casually, "Does Master Liu come to Autumn Wind City for business or to visit friends?" ”

"Look at the flowers!" Master Liu replied with a smile.

"Looking at the flowers?" Lin Dong was stunned, hesitated for a moment, but chose to be silent.

"Shopkeeper Lin should think that my master deliberately perfunctory you, right?" Zhang Shun said with a smile: "My lord did come to Autumn Wind City to see the flowers. ”

"It can't be Qingmenghua, right?" Lin Dong said in surprise.

Master Liu nodded lightly.

Zhang Shun opened his mouth to explain for him: "My lord usually likes flowers and animals very much, and he used to be busy with business, but in recent years, because he was unwell, he handed over the business to the eldest young master. It is difficult to raise flowers, plants, birds and beasts at home because of climate, soil and other reasons, so my lord decided to visit all over the Han country to watch exotic flowers and plants and all kinds of birds and animals, and it has been several years now. ”

"Master Liu is so interested!" Lin Dong couldn't help but extend his thumbs up to Master Liu, this is to enjoy life. Touring the mountains and rivers, watching flowers and birds, it couldn't be more comfortable.

"I'm old, and I don't know how many years I have left to live." Master Liu shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Until now, I have only walked more than a dozen counties, and I have only walked a long way, and I don't know how many places I can visit in this life." I knew that our Great Han Kingdom was so big, and strange flowers, plants, birds, and beasts could be seen everywhere, and I should have left twenty years ago. ”

"That's what the lord said." Zhang Shun shook his head again and again and said: "You have a long life of 100 years, and you only have a little bit of asthma, maybe you will meet somewhere one day and be cured by a miracle doctor, and it will definitely not be a problem to live for another thirty or fifty years." When the time comes, are you still afraid that you won't be able to finish the Han Kingdom? ”

"If you really want to live that long, when the time comes, you should be in a hurry." Master Liu couldn't help but smile and said: "Accompany me, an old man, to visit the Han Kingdom for decades, and the young men of your generation are all taking their grandchildren." ”

Zhang Shun smiled a little embarrassedly.

On the side, Lin Dong was smiling bitterly, he understood that this old man Liu's troubles were afraid that he would not be able to see all kinds of exotic flowers and plants and birds and beasts in his lifetime.

What will you do to accomplish this task?

Take the old man to visit the Han Kingdom? Don't even think about it for decades.

Or, to cure the old man's asthma? But is it that simple? But an alchemist can be called a miracle doctor in the eyes of secular people, and an asthma is just a serious illness in the eyes of an alchemist, although it cannot be cured, it is more than enough to control it for one hundred and eighty years with pills.

If it really wants to be so simple, it is enough to find Yun Lan to refine a few furnaces of elixirs for asthma later, and the materials required for this minor illness are undoubtedly low-level spiritual materials, which can be completed in a day or two.

The problem is that the last upgrade task was completed in a few days. According to Lin Dong's understanding of the boss of the inn system, this upgrade task, if it is only a month, don't even think about it.

But if it's not so simple, then it's the previous one, and it will take decades to complete the task by visiting all the exotic flowers and plants, birds and beasts in the Great Han Kingdom...... It's far too much.

Helpless, I can't think through it, and the reins are tied so hard that even if you encounter a thief, you will never be able to untie it in half an hour. Lin Dong straightened his body, walked in with the two, and asked, "Does Master Liu suffer from asthma?" ”

"That's right! My grandfather had this problem for a long time. Zhang Shun nodded and said, "It's getting more and more serious now, and you have to talk more leisurely." ”

"There's a miracle doctor living in our inn, or ...... Let me ask you for you? Lin Dong asked.

"Miracle Doctor?"

The eyes of the two of them lit up, and Zhang Shun hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Lin, is there really a miracle doctor living in your inn?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, and said with a burning voice: "He is an elder of a medicine refining sect in our Autumn Wind Mansion, and he usually likes to come to the Autumn Wind Mansion to purchase spiritual materials in person, and every time he comes, he stays in our inn. ”

"Great!" Zhang Shun hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Lin, can you take us to visit the old man's house now?" ”

Master Liu nodded without hesitation.

Lin Dong said with a sad face: "It's still early, and the divine doctor also likes to be clean, saying that he wants to cultivate quietly and not allow others to disturb him." I'm afraid I'll have to ask first. ”

The master and servant ignored each other, Master Liu just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, Zhang Shun took out a silver ingot of five taels from the burden in line with the idea of trying his luck, and rushed to Lin Dong with a look on his face, stuffed it into his hand, and said: "Then there is the shopkeeper of Laurin, if it can really cure my master's asthma, my master must have a lot of thanks." ”

Lin Dong smiled and stuffed the silver back into Zhang Shun's hand, shook his head and said: "It's just a gesture, the divine doctor just doesn't like to be disturbed, and after he really promised to treat people, he will not charge for medical treatment, and even the silver for medicinal materials is not needed." If I accept your money even with a show of my hand, I can't justify it. ”

"That's good!" Zhang Shun was overjoyed, and the silver in his hand kept pushing towards Lin Dong.

Master Liu was also happy, and his decades of business career made him suspect that the other party wanted to cheat money at the first time about Lin Dong's words, but this behavior, although it could not completely erase the possible surname of wanting to welcome and refuse, was already seventy or eighty percent credible.

Stuffing the silver back, Lin Dong said with a little displeasure on his face: "If Brother Zhang really wants to give a thank you gift, it will smash the reputation of our Lin Ji Inn." If Brother Zhang wants to do this, you can go out later to inquire about the reputation of our Lin Ji Inn, and then make a decision. ”

"This ......"

Lin Dong's words completely eliminated the doubts of Zhang Shun's master and servant, and both of them were ecstatic, at this moment, they were already eager to stuff a silver ticket to Lin Dong to ensure that he could convince the divine doctor with all his heart.

"Let's go! I'll take you to the guest room first. Lin Dong smiled and walked into the lobby.

The two ignored each other, and Zhang Shun hurriedly helped Master Liu to follow.

After taking the two of them to the accommodation building, arranging the room, they went to the kitchen to get two pots of boiling water and sent them over, and when Lin Dong drove the carriage outside the inn to the stable in the front yard, and then returned to the lobby, a group of guys had already gathered in the lobby, and Ma Chun was arranging to open the door.

After explaining the matter of Master Liu's master and servant, Lin Dong returned to the backyard to cultivate.

In just a hundred weeks, Lin Dong ended his cultivation and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and when he came out again, Yun Lan was slowly seated on the stone bench.

As soon as he told Yun Lan about Master Liu, not long after eating breakfast, Lin Dong had an extra list of more than a dozen low-level spiritual materials in his hand.

At noon, Zhang Shun asked the guy, and Lin Dong asked the guy to send the guy away on the grounds that the divine doctor had agreed and was refining.

It took about half an hour for Zhang Shun to go upstairs, and the materials had been collected, and it only took half an hour for the two furnaces to total more than 230 Qingyu Pills to be baked.

With a bag and more than a dozen porcelain vases, Lin Dong went straight to the accommodation building.

As soon as he went up the stairs on the third floor, Lin Dong saw Zhang Shun standing outside Master Liu's door at a glance.

"Shopkeeper Lin?" Looking at the porcelain vase exposed in the baggage in Lin Dong's hand, Zhang Shun was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to ask him indiscriminately, lest he guess wrong, not only cause embarrassment, but also make Lin Dong unhappy because of his impatience.

Lin Dong shook the burden in his hand towards Zhang Shun and said with a smile: "The divine doctor has been refined. ”

"Really?" Zhang Shun suddenly smiled, and couldn't help but raise his slap and slam the door.

"Who!" Inside, a vague question was heard.

"Sir, it's me." Zhang Shun hurriedly replied: "The divine doctor has promised to help refine the pill, and now that the refining has been completed, Shopkeeper Lin has sent the pill." ”

"Please wait, shopkeeper Lin, I'll come."

Inside, there was a sound of Suosuo, and in a moment, the door creaked open, and Master Liu's clothes were messy and he couldn't help but welcome Lin Dong into the room.

Opening the baggage, Lin Dong took out the small porcelain bottles one by one, and when the last one was opened, he uncorked the bottle and handed it to Master Liu, and said: "Master Liu try one, this pill is called Qingyu Dan, there are two hundred and thirty-five in total." The divine doctor said that the materials on hand are sufficient, and one more furnace will be refined on a whim, and one can ensure that you will not have any symptoms of asthma for a month, as long as it is stored in a cool place, it is enough to ensure that Master Liu will not have to worry about asthma for twenty years. ”

"Eh!" Master Liu nodded repeatedly, took the small porcelain vase with both hands, and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

It took a long time to pour out a dark red pill, and with a wave of his hand, the Qing Cough Pill entered his throat, and was swallowed heavily by Master Liu into his stomach.

Zhang Shun hurriedly handed over the tea and water, and in just a moment, Master Liu's nervous expression was suddenly soothed, and it was replaced by indescribable joy.

"It works, it works, I can feel it, I'm okay with a lap now, it works......"

The master and servant smiled and thanked each other, and for a while they wanted to go to the divine doctor to thank them, and then they wanted to stuff silver tickets to Lin Dong, but Lin Dong found reasons to refuse one by one, with a faint smile on his face, but he was secretly sighing in his heart.

The system prompt did not ring! This undoubtedly means, as expected, that just curing Master Liu's asthma is a bit simple.

The upgrade task takes two or three months to complete, and Lin Dong has long been mentally prepared for this. But he couldn't figure out how to accomplish this task.

You don't really want to take Master Liu to visit the Han Kingdom, right? There are no large zoos or botanical gardens in this world, and no matter what, the system will not be able to come up with an upgrade task that will take decades to complete.

Lin Dong's heart moved, zoo, botanical garden? Or an amusement park? Or even a three-in-one? With careful planning and consideration, in addition to the gymnasium, the soft power to attract guests should be strengthened.

"Great, I have cured my asthma, how can I live for five or six more years, not to mention visiting the Great Han Kingdom, and then running twenty or thirty counties, there will definitely be no problem."

Lin Dong was thinking about attracting guests, and Master Liu muttered to himself excitedly, attracting his attention, and also making the things he was entangled in his heart suddenly clear, and he almost slapped himself on the head.

That's right, the condition for the completion of this task is indeed to let Master Liu have enough life to fulfill his wish. It's just that it's not enough to cure asthma, in this world, ordinary people can live a long life at fifty, and sixty years old is already considered a long life, even if Master Liu usually takes good care of it, it is almost about seventy.

The lifespan of more than ten years is not enough to run all over the entire Han Kingdom.

You have to live longer.

If you want to prolong your life, there are many ways in this world, and the most effective one is cultivation.

As long as you can break through the smart period, it is not difficult to extend your life for more than ten years. Again, just count some elixirs that nourish the body, Yun Lan should know a lot of refining methods, how can he collect some low-grade elixir materials in two or three months.

Coupled with the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, a signature dish that can enhance physical fitness, there is a problem when you are over 100 years old, and it should not be difficult to be 90.

Immediately, Lin Dong put aside the things that attracted the guests for the time being and said what he thought. Of course, it is still a shield to ask the divine doctor.

This time, Lin Dong did not hide the so-called divine doctor, but invited an elder of the Gu Huan Sect who stayed in the inn to come out.

The result of the meeting was undoubtedly that the divine doctor and Master Liu had a very happy conversation, and the two gradually became inseparable friends, and the divine doctor was willing to refine the pill for Master Liu and teach him to practice without accepting a penny.

With the assistance of the elder of the Gu Huan Sect, not to mention the reward for wasting two months of time on this elder, he wanted to let Master Liu break through to the heart stage, with his talent and age, the blue fruit, the Wanhong fruit, and the golden armor snake inner pill are naturally indispensable, plus the pills that warm the body and the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves...... Lin Dong roughly calculated, the cost alone was no less than 30,000 taels of silver.

Fortunately, as long as he can complete the upgrade task and spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, Lin Dong also thinks it is cost-effective.

What should be done has been done, and for the rest, Lin Dong only needs to wait slowly for the system prompt after the upgrade task is completed.
