Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Master of the Pill Pavilion
"It's not that my first holy hand is self-appointed, but it was announced to the world after the Dragon King consulted with the pavilion owner. "And you give me a review, I have to exchange some treasures that I don't need for my good things." The man changed his steadiness when he first saw him, and began to get a little excited.
"We have known each other since childhood, his father is the Reward and Punishment Department of the Palace Military Department, my father is the deputy governor of the inspection platform, he is four years older than me, we entered the Wang Zhu Yuan together, and after the honorable teacher, he stayed in the Wang Zhu Academy, and I majored in fire attribute exercises, and turned to practice pills, and came to the Dan Medicine Pavilion..."
Only then did Xi Xiao know that the two had a deep relationship.
"Five hundred years ago, I stepped into the Adverse Sea Realm, but he has been stagnant in the Deep Sea Nine Realms, and when he first entered the Wang Academy, I advised him not to cultivate the Defense Stream, and he never listened to my advice." The man's eyes began to darken.
"He's two thousand nine hundred and twenty-four years old, and the end is approaching." Tears glistened in the man's eyes.
"But what can I do? I specialize in refining gain-type pills, Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill, a top-grade high-grade pill that changes one's life against the sky, only the pavilion master can refine it in the West Sea, and the success rate is less than fifty percent, if he can't come up with something that makes him happy, it is impossible for him to exchange it with others. ”
The man knew Xi Xiao's intention, and directly said his thoughts.
"Holy Hand, what do you think of the quality of these herbs?"
Seeing that the Holy Hand was straight to the point, Xi Xiao completely dispelled his worries, and with a movement of his mind, he offered fifty medicinal herbs of different shapes from the space bag and filled the entire white jade table.
"Divine Dream Grass, Thoughtless Grass, Beast Heart Demon Flower, Rush Gu Flower.." The man's eyes lit up, and his eyes were firmly attracted to these herbs.
"Well, yes, they're all high-grade and mid-grade herbs, but..." The Holy Hand changed his words, "Although these herbs are enough to attract the curator, with the curator's temperament, he may not be able to agree to refine the Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill for you." ”
"There's no hurry.. Look again.." With a wave of his hand, Xi Xiao took out fifty high-grade herbs from the space bag and placed them on the ground on the side of the white jade table.
"Whew.." The Holy Hand gasped and marveled at Xi Xiao's generosity.
"There are even a few high-grade herbs. The Holy Hand exclaimed.
"It seems that your trip to the border has really gained a lot, enough is enough, you quickly put them away, and I will take you to see the curator. ”
The Holy Hand stood up eagerly, his face full of anticipation.
The two of them came to the entrance of the fourth courtyard one after the other, and saw two middle-aged men standing at the door, wearing black night clothes, who looked at them in a sturdy posture, both carrying golden scimitars in their hands.
Looking at the gate of the courtyard again, there is a gray prohibition, on which the lightning flows, from time to time they meet and collide, making bursts of crackling sounds.
"Deep Sea Ninefold Perfection Realm!" Xi Xiao was taken aback, and then looked at the dragon pattern looming behind the necks of the two of them, confirming that it must be the Dragon King's Guard.
The number of the Dragon King's guards is small, a total of sixteen people, all of whom are of dragon blood, and the cultivation level requirements must be above the Deep Sea Eight Realms, and the captain is a strong person against the sea.
The guards are also the most mysterious existence in the Dragon Palace, living together in the Dragon Palace, most people have never even seen the guards once in their lives, Xi Xiao has only seen it for the first time today, and it is in front of the attic of the owner of the Danyao Pavilion, you can imagine how much the Dragon King cares about the owner of the hall.
When the two guards saw the Holy Hand coming, their fierce gazes softened slightly.
"The two, the general of the Wuche Pavilion and the general of the Xiaocai Battalion of the border army, Xi Xiao, asked to see the owner of the pavilion and had important matters to discuss. The Holy Hand was also extremely polite.
"Wait a minute. The man standing on the left walked through the curfew and returned half an hour later.
"The hall master is invited!" The returning guard held two gray jade plaques and distributed them to the Holy Hand and Xi Xiao.
After receiving the jade card, the two of them were glowing gray at the same time.
"Let's go. The Holy Hand led Xi Xiao through the curfew with ease.
The two guards at the door followed suit.
Stepping into the door, Xi Xiao saw the attic in front of him and couldn't help but stop and watch carefully.
The attic is hollowed out by a tree root that is more than ten zhang high and more than thirty zhang thick, the bark is light purple, and the light green branches stretch out from the bark, and the top of the root is covered with clusters of lush branches of different colors, just like bringing a colorful hat to the root. A thin layer of blue mist shrouds the roots of the trees and flows slowly, making the scene extremely beautiful.
"Haha, everyone who is new to the city will be amazed by this beautiful scenery. The Holy Hand quipped.
Entering the first floor of the attic, the furnishings on all sides of the room are roughly the same as the room of the Holy Hand, all of which are full of local red cabinets, but there are more of them, and Xi Xiao roughly swept them, and there are more than a thousand.
The only difference is that in the middle of the room is not a furnace, but a medicine garden about the size of about three minutes, which is planted with hundreds of herbs of different colors, all of which are rotating in streamers.
Xi Xiao recognized half of the herbs in the medicine garden, most of them were high-grade and middle-grade, and a small part were high-grade and upper-grade.
A young man in a navy blue python robe squatted on the west side of the medicine garden, staring at a purple-red broad-leaved herb in front of him with a burning face, and a fruit with a red body and a longan shape had already grown from the herb.
"Dear Hate Fruit, Hate Fruit, how long will it take you to ripen." The young man picked up the white porcelain bottle in his hand, poured out three drops of milky white liquid and dripped it onto the fruit, which was instantly absorbed by the fruit.
"Seeing that this young squire is so obsessed, it shouldn't be low if he wants to come to the pill to cultivate." Looking at the thin figure in front of him, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, and a square face and thin lips, Xi Xiao speculated.
But the next scene made Xi Xiao dumbfounded.
I saw the Holy Hand walking quickly to the young man, and he called softly, "Pavilion master." ”
"He's the hall owner?!Shouldn't he be an old man with fairy wind bones?!"
According to word of mouth in the Dragon Palace, the owner of the Pill Pavilion has served two generations of Dragon Kings, and no one knows how many years he has survived, only that he has already broken free from the shackles of the 10,000-year life span of the Sea Realm, so Xi Xiao took it for granted that the appearance of the hall owner should be similar to the appearance of the honorific award.
But after thinking about it, Xi Xiao was also relieved, the Holy Hand, who was almost the same age as the Venerable Gift, was more than two thousand or four years old when he broke through the shallow deep sea realm, and it was supposed to be a sixtieth birthday, but now it seems that he is just a middle-aged man.
"The elixir is really mysterious.." Looking at the weak-crowned young man in front of him, Xi Xiao exclaimed.
The boy didn't respond, still staring at the herb in front of him, and his mouth was full of words.
On the other hand, the guards and the Holy Hand seemed to have long been accustomed to it, standing silently on the side.
After a stick of incense, the young man slowly moved his gaze to Xi Xiao and looked up and down.
"Little baby, what is the matter with the old man?" The young man's voice was consistent with his appearance, crisp with a hint of immaturity.
"I want to ask the hall master to cultivate a Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill on his behalf. "Xi Xiao made a gesture and explained the meaning of the future.
"I have instructed the Holy Hand not to disturb my alchemy in recent years, unless it is a matter of great urgency. The hall owner said lightly: "The Holy Hand also asked me for the Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill, isn't it all for the same person?"
"My master has been trapped in the Shallow Sea Nine Realms, and now it is two thousand nine hundred."
"I don't care about these, the Holy Hand can't take out anything that makes my heart move, in exchange for refining this pill, do you have it?" the hall master directly interrupted Xi Xiao and said with an indifferent expression.
"Look, owner. Xi Xiao waved his hand, and fifty high-grade mid-grade herbs were placed in front of him one after another.
On the way here, the Holy Hand told Xi Xiao to take out fifty herbs first, and if the Holy Hand disagreed, he would take out the remaining fifty plants, and also explained some other precautions, but he didn't say that the owner of the hall was a teenager...
"Not bad.." The hall owner paced over and took a closer look at the herbs.
"The rhizomes are full, the flowers and leaves are abundant, and they are all the best herbs of the same kind. ”
"But.." The curator changed his words, "I still want to refuse you." ”
"Why? First, the Dragon King ordered me to refine a batch of emergency pills. Curator Yu Guang swept over the two guards, and seeing that the two were still expressionless, he looked up at Xi Xiao slightly and continued: "What's more... Why are you taller than me?"
Xi Xiao was speechless.
"What kind of reason is this??! if it weren't for the fact that I would have wanted to strangle him. Xi Xiao slandered, but still kept smiling and said, "Curator, look at it again." ”
Xi Xiao waved his hand and offered out another fifty herbs.
"Tsk.. The little baby still has a trick left.." The owner turned his attention to the new herbs.
"This Maha flower is about to bear fruit, why don't you plant and take care of it?
The hall owner glanced at Xi Xiao with disdain, gently picked up a red yellow herb, walked to the medicine garden, sacrificed a golden flower shovel, dug out a small pit, planted the herb in, gently patted the soil with his hand, and then took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out a drop of white emulsion on the stamen.
Seeing this, Xi Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, "Pavilion Master Fu, do you see the matter of alchemy?"
"I have planted all the herbs, do I have to dig them out and return them to you?"
"You baby, you are so cunning at a young age, why don't you take out a hundred herbs at a time and trade them happily. The hall owner frowned slightly, and said with a displeased expression.
"Half a month later, I will ask someone to send you to your house. The hall owner paused, "Do you still have high-grade herbs?"
"There are still a lot of top-grade herbs, top-grade herbs.." Xi Xiao stopped his words and looked at the hall owner with a smile.
"Can you take it out for the old man to appreciate and appreciate. The owner of the hall said softly.
"I'm afraid.." Xi Xiao's face was embarrassed.
"Don't worry, the old man trades with people, and he has always been undeceived!"
"The owner of the pavilion is too worried, but he still has important things to do, and he hasn't thought about what to exchange with you. Xi Xiao lowered his posture as much as possible, "If I ask you one day, I will definitely come back to bother and bring out something that satisfies you." ”
"Okay. A hint of loss flashed in the pavilion master's eyes, "I'll wait for you, I have a better pill here than the Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill." ”
As soon as the words fell, the hall owner incorporated all the ninety-nine herbs on the ground into the space tips, turned around and walked towards the second floor.
The Holy Hand and Xi Xiao walked out of the attic and returned the gray jade plaque to the guards.
"I thank you on behalf of that old thing. The Holy Hand looked grateful, "To have a disciple like you, it seems that his choice to cultivate the Defense Flow in the first place was not wrong." ”
"Yes, honor me, like a master and a father. ”
Bidding farewell to the Holy Hand, Xi Xiao came to the first courtyard of the Dan Medicine Pavilion and entered the Dan Medicine General Affairs Office.
