Chapter 29: Cultivation Is Really Too Expensive......
After a rough explanation from the stall owner, Li Xiang finally understood the reason.
It turned out that this guy's daughter-in-law was suffering from a strange disease.
It's completely normal during the day, but at night it becomes a demon...... When she sobered up, I asked her, but she was at a loss and couldn't think of anything.
"I suspect she's got something dirty......"
Li Xiang asked lightly, "Really?" So why do you think I can solve it? ”
The stall owner smiled flatteringly: "I saw you drink so lightly before, and that guy obediently came back to pay the money, so I guessed that you must be an alien." ”
"Even if it is, why should I help you?"
"I can give you a real He Shou Wu ......"
Hearing this, Li Xiang's eyebrows moved: "How many years?" ”
"It's definitely more than a hundred years, and the shape is not as good as what you have on the table."
Li Xiang subconsciously glanced at the so-called He Shou Wu on the stall: "Hearing is false, let me see and understand first, and then ......"
At this time, the stall owner was a little embarrassed.
In fact, he had found a few people before, but the result was either a liar, or he had no ball skills, and he couldn't cure his daughter-in-law, and the He Shou Wu was almost snatched away.
Therefore, he was somewhat weak in his heart.
"Goodbye!"
Seeing that the stall owner didn't squeak, Li Xiang turned around and left.
"Wait...... I promise you! ”
The stall owner gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
Then, he quickly closed the stall and took Li Xiang to a dilapidated courtyard in a remote alley to the west of the market.
"Huh? Stunned, he ...... Who is he? ”
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a woman in the courtyard who was choosing vegetables stood up and asked suspiciously while wiping her hands on her waist.
"Xiaolan, he is...... A stranger, come and help you see a doctor. ”
"I ......"
Xiaolan frowned.
"I know you've always been reluctant to face it, but Xiaolan, if you continue like this, maybe one day ......"
Speaking of this, the second stunned couldn't help sighing, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
At this time, Li Xiang couldn't help but release his divine sense to check it...... The brow couldn't help but be faint.
Xiaolan is indeed not sick, but for some reason, he still faintly feels that something is wrong.
"Second stunned, what kind of symptoms is she?"
"It's really weird to say......"
The second closed his eyes in a daze, as if recalling.
"About two months ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and found that Xiaolan was not there. At that time, I thought she was going to the thatched house, and I didn't care.
But after a while, I didn't come back, and I didn't feel at ease, so I went to the hospital to look for her......"
When he said this, Er's stunned face turned pale, and he seemed to have palpitations.
"As a result, I found out ...... Discover her...... Lying on the ground, in the ...... Eat a ......"
"Don't say it!"
Xiaolan couldn't help but scream.
The second stunned sighed: "Xiaolan, don't be stubborn, if you don't explain the situation clearly, how can you solve your problem from the root?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but cover her face and cry softly.
The second stunned stepped forward and whispered a few words of comfort, and then walked back to continue talking......
It turned out that he was shocked to find that Xiaolan was actually eating one...... Rats, eating mouths full of blood.
When he subconsciously let out an exclamation, Xiaolan glanced over, and her eyes turned out to be green and faint, almost fainting from the second stunned.
The next day, he hurried to find a so-called master...... As a result, there is no use for eggs.
Later, I couldn't force it, so I tied up my daughter-in-law at night.
I don't know, I can't solve the problem. Because Xiaolan struggled so badly, the rope was almost stuck in the flesh and still desperately trying to break free......
Hearing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but ask: "You mean to say that she is like this almost every night?" ”
"Yes, fortunately, the scope of activities is not large, and I have never been out of the yard, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Also, at dawn, it's normal again.
So, I guess she's got something dirty......"
"It's possible."
Li Xiang nodded thoughtfully.
"Hero, you...... Is there a way? ”
"It shouldn't be a big problem, but we have to look at the specific situation to find out."
Hearing this, the second stunned hesitated for a while, and his heart was crossed: "I'll show you Shouwu first......"
After a while, he walked out of the house with a homespun bag in his hand.
When I uncovered it, it was indeed a He Shou Wu.
However, this guy is a bit of a braggadocio and says something that must be more than a hundred years old. In Li Xiang's eyes, I'm afraid it's almost hot.
In terms of condition, it is considered to be medium and slightly above.
Fortunately, the rhizome is relatively complete, and it is estimated that it can be worth four or five hundred taels.
"Hero, how's it going?" The second stunned asked expectantly.
"Okay......"
Although Li Xiang still doesn't know the reason, he has the confidence to solve Xiaolan's abnormal problem.
He has already used his divine sense to investigate, and he can almost rule out the possibility of evil magic, so the only possibility is: a little demon and a little ghost.
Isn't that a matter of hand-to-hand capture?
Of course, ideas are ideas, and the specific situation can only be determined after careful investigation.
"Okay, He Shou Wu, you put it away first, I'll go to the medicinal herb market first, and come back at night, so as not to startle the snake.
Also, you don't have to do anything, just do what you have to do as you did in the past......"
"Uh-huh......"
The husband and wife nodded.
Subsequently, Li Xiang came to the medicinal materials market again, walked around a lot, and after roughly understanding the market, he began to purchase one after another.
The main ones are the relatively rare Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and black musk deer, the most expensive of which is Snow Lotus.
After all, most of the snow lotus originates from the area of the Western Regions Snow Mountain, which is not only scarce, but also has a long distance, and there are few stores in the entire medicinal material market.
Three thousand taels of silver, more than two thousand seven hundred taels were spent, and the medicinal materials bought were all not too old.
If the year is high, the price starts at a thousand taels of silver...... The point is, if you have silver, you may not be able to buy it, it depends on luck.
Walking out of the market, Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh that cultivation was really too much money.
It is no wonder that some cultivators are desperate to seek refuge in the powerful and desperately search for materials in the name of alchemy......
After dark, Li Xiang came to Erzhu's house again, and left after a few words.
In fact, he didn't really leave, but quietly hid on the roof on the other side, and did his best to restrain his breath, and at the same time released his divine sense to envelop the entire courtyard.
In this way, if a little demon ghost is admitted to the hospital, its whereabouts can be locked as soon as possible.
Time is slowly slipping away......
By midnight, there was finally movement.
However, the movement did not come from the outside world, but in the room where the two stunned couples were.
Through the feedback of his divine sense, Li Xiang already understood...... It's indeed a demon, to be precise, it's the soul of a little demon at work.
Li Xiang didn't do it in time until Xiaolan came out of the room...... In fact, he crawled out, his hands on the ground, his movements were strangely agile, his eyes were green and faint, and he looked extremely weird and terrifying.
"Reverse animal!"
After a while, Li Xiang suddenly jumped down, his palm print knotted, and a ray of golden light enveloped Xiaolan......
