Chapter 3: Past and Present Lives
"In other words, you won't give me the medicinal herbs today?" Chen Xingyu asked with the anger in his heart.
"It's not impossible, after all, our pharmacy is also in business, as long as you come up with the corresponding price, our pharmacy will naturally sell it to you, but I see that you are poor and sour, and you can't come up with any money."
"Then you say, how much do I want?"
"I'll do the math for you, two catties of green daisy, eight taels of agarwood, three ginseng plants, and four blood ginseng plants..." ”
"Pack it all for me." After speaking, Chen Xingyu took out a card and handed it to the shopkeeper. When he first came to the Liu family, the old man gave Chen Xingyu a 30 million card, but Chen Xingyu never thought that he would use this card one day, after all, there would be no expenses in the Liu family, so he didn't expect to use it today.
"Xiao Liu, don't rush to get him medicine first, who knows if the money in his card is really enough, wait until I finish swiping the card." The store manager questioned Chen Xingyu's card and stopped Xiao Liu's behavior of preparing to take the medicine.
Just when the store manager swiped the card, an old man ran in outside the door and ran to the counter with a lotus flower and asked eagerly.
"Little girl, how much can you see how much this herb is worth?"
"Uncle, you are just an ordinary lotus, not worth much." The little girl looked twice and said.
"No, if you take a closer look, this lotus flower will turn into seven colors as soon as it is late at night, and it will also affect the surrounding temperature, it is definitely not an ordinary lotus."
"Uncle, don't make fun of me, I've been selling medicine for so many years, and I have a certain understanding of medicinal materials, you're just an ordinary lotus."
"Little girl, I didn't lie to you, what I said is true."
"Uncle, it's still colorful, why don't you say that every petal of his flower can fulfill a wish?"
"Little girl, you can put it out at night and see it, it will really change color."
"Uncle, if you stop us from doing business like this again, I will call the police."
Chen Xingyu also heard what this uncle said next to him, and hearing this description reminded him of the introduction of this plant in his previous dream, the Colorful Cold Ice Lotus, which can be used as the main ingredient of the Soul Replenishing Pill.
"Uncle, can you show me?"
"Ah, boy, look at it."
Chen Xingyu watched it carefully for a while and confirmed that this lotus was the colorful cold ice lotus in his dream, and couldn't help but ask with joy in his heart: "Uncle, sell this lotus flower to me, you can tell me a price." ”
"Fifty thousand, young man, I also need this money urgently, fifty thousand can't be missing." Uncle cautiously quoted.
"No problem, you and I will go to the bank to withdraw money, I don't have enough cash on me."
"Eh, Chen Shao..."
"Xiao Chen, shut up and go over and pack medicinal herbs for him." Xiao Chen just wanted to remind Chen Xingyu not to be deceived by the old man in front of him, but was interrupted by the store manager.
"The person who hugged the thigh of the Liu family is different, 50,000 yuan said to take it, but I don't know how much of this money is earned by you as a waste?"
Chen Xingyu's attention was now immersed in the colorful ice lotus in his hand, and he didn't care what the store manager said.
"Chen Shao, the medicinal materials you want, or will they be sent to the old place for you?"
"Yes." After speaking, Chen Xingyu looked at the store manager, "Give me the card." ”
Looking at Chen Xingyu, who took the old man away, the store manager mocked to himself: "Isn't it just a waste that has gone through shit luck, a fool who can't even distinguish between medicinal herbs and ordinary plants, and thinks that he has picked up a treasure, ahh ”
"Thank you, young man, thank you so much."
"Uncle, there's no need to thank me, it's just that the money and goods are cleared, it's not early, and you still have so much money with you, go back early."
"I see, lad."
Chen Xingyu said goodbye to the old man and returned directly to Liu's house, but when he walked to the living room, he didn't see anyone, Chen Xingyu thought that Liu Wan'er followed Liu Ningxue out, and it was true, Liu Wan'er went out to help Liu Ningxue move back the things she had moved out before.
Back in his bedroom, Chen Xingyu started his own alchemy again, three furnaces failed in a row, but each furnace was improving, it was still a black paste before, and now the liquid medicine can be seen to have a large piece of emerald green.
However, he was always stuck on the last step of alchemy, and with such a long time of alchemy, Chen Xingyu gradually felt that he was always missing something in the last step of alchemy, so it would lead to never becoming a pill now.
Recalling the unilateral prescription in his mind, Chen Xingyu found that there were several pills that were effective even in the form of medicinal liquids, including the Soul Replenishing Pill, but it was not as effective as the pill-like medicine.
Knowing this, Chen Xingyu immediately took action, found out the medicinal materials for refining the Soul Replenishing Pill in his hand, calmed down his mood, and Chen Xingyu began to prepare to start alchemy.
Feeling the temperature of the Dan furnace, Chen Xingyu first put a few auxiliary materials into the Dan furnace, continued to burn for a while, and then took out the colorful cold ice lotus and tore off the two petals and threw them in, and the temperature of the Dan furnace dropped sharply after a while, Chen Xingyu was not surprised by this, he knew that this was the rhythm of successful refining.
The temperature of the Dan furnace plummeted, Chen Xingyu hurriedly turned up the fire, and the temperature of the Dan furnace rose again, and finally put in two lotus seeds of Tianxin bitter lotus, and after half an hour, Chen Xingyu directly turned off the fire, waiting for the temperature of the Dan furnace to decrease.
Looking at the emerald liquid in front of him, Chen Xingyu knew that he had succeeded, although he did not become a pill, but this liquid had the medicinal power of a soul tonifying pill.
Soul Replenishing Pill, which acts on the damage of the soul and completes the defects of the soul. Just as Chen Xingyu was about to show this thing to Liu Wan'er, he remembered how she was sneered at before.
Chen Xingyu, who showed her the liquid medicine before, thought that his elixir was successful, but showed it to Liu Wan'er to see that what Liu Wan'er criticized was nothing, so Chen Xingyu also specially found a small animal to try, but as expected, it basically had no effect.
Chen Xingyu gritted his teeth when he thought of this, drank all the liquid medicine in his hand, and tried the medicine by himself, if it was effective, he would refine a furnace for Liu Wan'er to see, if it didn't work, he wouldn't have to lose face.
After drinking it for a few minutes, there was no special reaction, Chen Xingyu, who thought that he had made a mistake again, thought back to the previous and confirmed which step went wrong, at this moment, a sleepiness came, and Chen Xingyu couldn't resist and went straight to sleep.
Chen Xingyu still experienced the dream he had been having before, but this time it was different, this time the dream was clearer and clearer, from birth to death, he had experienced it all over again, not even a single detail was missed, and the two memories merged with each other and complemented each other.
"Chen Xingyu, you waste is still sleeping, get me up." As soon as Liu Wan'er opened Chen Xingyu's bedroom door, she saw Chen Xingyu sleeping on the ground, and couldn't help but roar angrily.
Because she suffered a loss before, she didn't know that Chen Xingyu was at home, so this time Liu Wan'er walked to Chen Xingyu's bedroom to see if he was at home, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Chen Xingyu falling asleep on the ground.
Chen Xingyu sat up slowly, looking at Liu Wan'er at the door with cold eyes.
Liu Wan'er couldn't help but feel a chill when she was stared at by Chen Xingyu like this, Chen Xingyu's gaze when she looked at him was nothing more than joy, atmosphere, timidity, etc., but never like now, her eyes did not have a trace of emotion, as if she had seen through everything.
"What's the matter?"
"My sister is coming back later, and I have something to ask you to go down."
"Got it, you go out first."
Liu Wan'er didn't know how she got out, she felt that she had inexplicably obeyed Chen Xingyu's words, and now she reacted and gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Chen Xingyu, you waste, you dare to scare me, when my sister comes back, I will let you walk around without eating." ”
Chen Xingyu, who had recovered his memory, looked at the alchemy furnace next to him, and reopened the furnace with his previous obsession, and now Chen Xingyu, who has decades of experience in alchemy, is as easy as drinking water, and in the last step of alchemy, Chen Xingyu used his own unique technique to transform the liquid medicine into a pill, and a furnace of pill is completed.
Chen Xingyu, who had completed his obsession, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I finally lived up to the old man's expectations." ”
