Chapter 44: The Pill Pavilion
Not only was the shopkeeper surprised, but Zhou Xiaobao behind Li Fugui was also surprised, Li Fugui was only able to refine the second-grade spirit pill in the early stage of Qi training, what kind of demon is this.
Li Fugui hurriedly said: "This is given by the family teacher, and the kid does not have the ability to refine this kind of elixir. ”
The shopkeeper was relieved at this time, and said slowly: "Even if it is not refined by Daoyou, I'm afraid that Daoyou's alchemy level is not ordinary, and he is really a young talent." ”
The surprise in Zhou Xiaobao's heart has not disappeared, Li Fugui told him at the beginning that Li Fugui is just a casual cultivator, and there is no teacher at all, and he saw with his own eyes that a magic weapon in Li Fugui's body flew away, which contained Li Fugui's entire net worth. What he took out now was just something that Li Fugui hadn't taken a fancy to before.
Zhou Xiaobao felt a trace of joy in his heart, feeling that it was not so unacceptable that he had become Li Fugui's slave, maybe this was still his own opportunity, thinking of this, Zhou Xiaobao was more respectful to Li Fugui.
Li Fugui said: "I wonder if the shopkeeper can help me change to spirit grass?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said: "My elixir workshop is also opened by an alchemist senior, since Daoyou is also a fellow Daoist, the old man will be in charge once, and he will be exchanged for Daoyou, I don't know what kind of spiritual grass you need?"
"Ka Ye Lan, Spirit Vanilla ......"
Li Fugui reported six or seven kinds of spirit grasses, which were all spirit grasses needed to refine the spirit pill, replenish the spirit pill, and other spiritual herbs needed to increase and cultivate into the spirit pill.
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and called a woman in palace clothes to tell her to fetch the spirit grass, while the shopkeeper himself continued to talk with Li Fugui, wanting to find out more about Li Fugui's origin.
Although Li Fugui is young, he is not stupid, he constantly plays Tai Chi with the shopkeeper, and does not reveal the slightest information about his origins, even if it is the imaginary master, he does not mention it again.
After a while, the woman in the palace dress came in with a tray, respectfully placed it on the coffee table, and then withdrew.
Li Fugui looked at the spiritual grass in the tray, but there were only a dozen beads, Li Fugui's face was gloomy, and he looked at the shopkeeper without the slightest emotion.
The shopkeeper's back was numb when Li Fugui saw it, and said with a smile: "As for the spirit grass, I can only give so much to the Daoist, and I will make up for the five hundred spirit stones, what do the Daoists think?"
As he spoke, he took out the spirit stone and put it on the coffee table.
Li Fugui thought for a while, although it was much worse than expected, but he still put it away, arched his hand to the shopkeeper, and said, "Thank you." ”
After saying that, he was ready to turn around and leave.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Li Fugui and said, "If you need spiritual grass next time, you can come to my spiritual pill workshop to continue to exchange it." ”
Li Fugui didn't look back, and left the store with Zhou Xiaobao.
Zhou Xiaobao scolded in a low voice behind him: "Sure enough, there are no treacherous businessmen, none of the businessmen in the world are things, and the businessmen among the monks are not things." ”
Li Fugui patted Zhou Xiaobao on the shoulder and said, "If you are new here, you can suffer a little loss, you go and inquire, if you want to make a face here, how many spirit stones do you need." ”
Zhou Xiaobao looked at Li Fugui puzzled, with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Fugui looked at the street and said: "We may have to stay here for a while longer, since we will be cheated when we sell it to the shop, then we will sell it ourselves, and when we get what I want, we will leave." ”
Although Zhou Xiaobao didn't know what Li Fugui was looking for, he still nodded, took Li Fugui to an inn first, and then went out to find out the news.
In the evening, Li Fugui, who was meditating and breathing in the room, was awakened by a knock on the door and said, "Come in." ”
Zhou Xiaobao walked in in a dusty manner, picked up the teapot on the table and sent it to his mouth, and took a big sip of tea, and then said: "Inquire clearly, renting an attic requires two hundred spirit stones a month, but it must be paid for three months at one time." I also heard that there is a shop to be transferred, only 500 spirit stones, you can rent it for two months, there are all kinds of things, it is more suitable for us, and there is no need for any formalities, just sign a contract with the owner. ”
Li Fugui nodded, he was still quite satisfied with Zhou Xiaobao's handling of this matter, took out a pill of Spiritual Enhancement Pill and threw it to Zhou Xiaobao and said, "Do things for me with peace of mind, the benefits are indispensable to yours." ”
Zhou Xiaobao hurriedly caught the elixir, swallowed his saliva, carefully put it away, knelt on the ground and said, "Xiaobao, you must do your best to share the worries of your master." ”
Li Fugui helped him up and said, "I am a relatively easy-going person, I don't like these rigid etiquette, as long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you as a slave." ”
Zhou Xiaobao didn't even dare to say it.
......
The next day, Li Fugui stood in front of the attic he rented, although it was a little old, but the location was okay, coincidentally, this shop also sold pills before, and even more coincidentally, this shop was facing the elixir workshop.
Li Fugui smiled, turned to look at the Lingdan Fang that had just pitted him yesterday, looked at the gloomy face of the shopkeeper of the Lingdan Fang, arched his hand, and turned around and entered his shop.
The attic is divided into two floors, and the things inside are all ready-made, even the plaque at the door is ready-made, which reads Danyao Pavilion. The things inside are also very complete, but there are too many shelves, Li Fugui doesn't have so many pills to sell, so he told Zhou Xiaobao to leave two shelves, and the rest will be moved to the utility room.
On the second floor, it was elegantly furnished, with a reception room and a room for cultivation, which was very much in line with Li Fugui's wishes. After looking at the second floor, Li Fugui came to the backyard, where there was nothing but a thatched house and a well.
Zhou Xiaobao was busy for two hours under the command of Li Fugui, and finally finished cleaning the attic, Li Fugui took out more than 30 pills, put them in porcelain bottles, and put them on the shelves.
explained to Zhou Xiaobao which pills they were one by one, and asked him to act as a cabinet sister.
......
Two days passed, and Li Fugui refined all the spirit herbs in his hands into pills, and took the spirit enhancement pill with starling, and practiced for nine Great Zhou Days, before stopping.
Li Fugui didn't go downstairs in the past two days, it was Zhou Xiaobao who was taking care of business downstairs, and Li Fugui, who woke up, looked at the starling who was still breathing, and put two elixirs next to him, and then walked down the attic.
Looking at the unpopular store, Li Fugui sighed slightly, it seems that not a single pill has been sold in the past two days.
Zhou Xiaobao was standing listlessly behind the counter, and when he saw Li Fugui coming down, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a bitter face: "Master, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that no one comes to the door at all." ”
Li Fugui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Call me Gongzi in the future, I don't like the title of master." ”
Zhou Xiaobao hurriedly said yes, in fact, he didn't want to call Li Fugui master, although he was Li Fugui's slave, but it was still a little awkward to call him master.
Li Fugui came to the door and looked, the cultivators on the street in twos and threes, and then looked at several palace beauties standing at the door of the Lingdan Fang. Raised his hand to summon Zhou Xiaobao and asked, "Have you found the difference between us and the Spirit Pill Workshop?"
Zhou Xiaobao looked at the palace beauties opposite and said, "I found out, son, do we also want to get a few beauties to attract customers?"
Li Fugui looked at Zhou Xiaobao with a wicked smile and said, "How can you have so much money to hire people, if you wear women's clothes, do you think you can compare the other ones." ”
Zhou Xiaobao looked at Li Fugui in horror, clasped his hands on his chest, and said, "Son, I'm a pure master, if this is going to be spread, how can I mess up." ”
Li Fugui laughed and said, "Why have you become so unhumorous, don't worry, it's just a joke, I don't want you to wear women's clothes." ”
Zhou Xiaobao put down his hands and let out a long breath, if Li Fugui forcibly let him wear women's clothes, he really had no choice.
Li Fugui looked at the door and said: "Go, go outside and shout, just say that the spirit grass is exchanged for the spirit pill, which is one layer cheaper than the market price, and you can use the ancient books of the age to exchange for the spirit pill, the quality of the spirit pill is high-level, and it is definitely worth the money." ”
Zhou Xiaobao knew that Li Fugui was serious this time, so he had no choice but to walk out of the store, stand at the door and start shouting.
Not to mention, this shouting really attracted the attention of many people, but it was not the content of the shouting that attracted the attention of others, but Zhou Xiaobao's cultivation in the later stage of Qi training, and he actually became a doorman, which made the monks on the street look sideways.
The two monks in the early stage of Qi cultivation walked to the door, arched their hands and asked, "This senior, is it really one level cheaper than the market price?"
Zhou Xiaobao leaned against the door frame, tilted his head and said, "That can still be fake." ”
Li Fugui was angry, kicked Zhou Xiaobao's buttocks, and said viciously: "If you dare to treat yourself as an uncle again, I will castrate you, let you wear palace clothes, and dance on the street, believe it or not." ”
Zhou Xiaobao hurriedly put on a smiling face, arched his hand at the two monks in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and said, "Come, please two inside, it's definitely worth the money." ”
The two monks walked into the shop with an embarrassed face, looked at the pills on the shelf, and one monk said, "Senior, how many spirit stones are in the Qi Benefiting Pill?"
Zhou Xiaobao hurriedly took out a Qi Benefiting Pill, put it on the tray, and said: "This Daoist, you see, the color of this Qi Benefiting Pill, this mellow texture, and a proper second-grade pill, the market price is eight hundred lower grade spirit stones, and we only need seven hundred and twenty grade spirit stones here, how about it." ”
Another monk asked, "I have a few spirit grasses here, seniors can help see if they can change one." ”
As he spoke, the monk took out five spiritual grasses.
Li Fugui saw clearly, although these spirit grasses were all garbage spirit grasses, but the value was also above eight hundred spirit stones, and asked suspiciously: "Fellow Daoist, the value of these spirit grasses is more than eight hundred spirit stones, why don't you sell them and use spirit stones to buy Qi Pills?"
The monk smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist may have just come to Tianshui City. ”
Li Fugui nodded.
"The shops that buy spirit grass here are all black-hearted shops, and my spirit grass can sell five hundred spirit stones where they are, which is considered good. If you want a higher price, you have to go to the outside Nobo market and sell it yourself. But it's too dangerous there, our cultivation is low, if we are targeted, not only will the spirit grass not be able to keep it, but I'm afraid that my life will be in danger. ”
Li Fugui nodded understandingly, and said, "Xiaobao, take him a Qi Benefiting Pill, and give him another hundred lower grade spirit stones, we won't make black money." ”
