Long Jiu explained: "I have prepared all the materials for alchemy according to that secret recipe, and the pill I refined does have the effect of rejuvenation. It's obvious what I look like now, but to talk about immortality is probably an exaggeration, and I feel like I'm always missing something. ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "I remember that the old ghost predecessor once said that immortality is a technique against the sky, so although you have refined the Immortality Pill, if I want to be truly immortal, it should be more than just taking a few pills, I am afraid there are other factors, as the so-called time, place and people, all of them are indispensable." ”

"Haha, the three brothers Wen are right! In fact, I am not uncommon to live forever, I have lived to this age, I am tired of life, and I have long looked down on life and death. ”

"In that case, then why do you still want to eat the Immortal Pill, Ninth Master?" I asked rhetorically.

Long Jiu glanced at me and replied, "I won't hide it from you, the reason why I took this elixir of immortality was mainly because of curiosity, and on the other hand, it was also to help the chief test the medicine. ”

"So, Ninth Master, you still decided to hand over this recipe to that chief?" Wen Qingshan asked rhetorically.

"Nope! I thought about it for a long time, and the old ghost was right, this secret recipe is a secret recipe against the sky, and if it spreads, it will be unpredictable. That's why I didn't give it to the chief. It's just ......" Long Jiu paused when he said this.

Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "It's just what?" ”

Long Jiu smiled: "Nothing! He then changed his words and said, "By the way, Brother Wen asked me on the phone if I had those herbs, and I also want to ask Brother Wen, what do you want these herbs for?" ”

Wen Qingshan replied: "It's not a secret, it's a prescription, specifying these medicinal materials. ”

"What's the prescription?" Long Jiu asked.

Wen Qingshan pointed at me and said, "Shi Yu's uncle has cancer, advanced stomach cancer, an old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed a prescription, I don't know if it works, but the matter has come to this, we can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, try it." ”

Long Jiu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Since it is an emergency in the rivers and lakes, I will give these medicinal herbs to the two of you." ”

I didn't expect Long Jiu to agree so readily, I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked: "Then I'll be here to thank Jiu Ye for my uncle." ”

However, as soon as I finished speaking, Long Jiu waved his hand and said, "Don't thank you first, I can give you the medicinal herbs, but I still have one condition." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, and turned my head to look at Wen Qingshan, but Wen Qingshan's face was calm, as if he had already expected that Long Jiu would put forward conditions, he smiled slightly, and said: "The ninth master is a businessman, naturally he will not do loss-making transactions, if you have any requirements, you might as well say it and take a look." ”

"Hehe, the conditions are simple, as long as the two of you show me the prescription! I gave away the herbs. ”

Because the secret recipe for alchemy was in my hands after all, Wen Qingshan couldn't agree, so he turned his head and asked me, "Shi Yu, what do you see?" ”

In my heart, I don't want to pass on the secret recipe, after all, it is a secret recipe passed down by the predecessors of the demon hunters. I was hesitating in my heart, and Long Jiu said again: "In addition, I will give you a newly developed anti-cancer drug from abroad, which is currently unavailable on the market." Although it may not be possible to completely cure Uncle Shi Yu's cancer, at least it can stabilize his condition, delay his life, and buy a little more time, what do you think? ”

Long Jiu's words simply went to my heart, what we are most worried about at the moment is that Zhai Bo's condition is unstable, once the attack occurs, I am afraid that we have found all the medicinal materials and refined the resurrection pill, but I am afraid that we will not be able to return to the sky. So, for now, controlling his condition is more important than anything else. So when I heard Long Jiu say this, I immediately agreed to his request: "Okay! Then it's decided. ”

"Haha! It's refreshing! Long Jiu immediately turned his head to the fat-headed man standing aside and said, "Ah Leopard, go and get the things." ”

The fat-headed man nodded, turned and went into the back room. After a while, he walked out of the back room with four flat wooden boxes of various sizes and dark red appearances.

The fat-headed man lined up the wooden boxes on the coffee table, Long Jiu spread his hands, and said to me and Wen Qingshan with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, I have already prepared things for the two of you, and the two of you will inspect the goods a priori." ”

I couldn't wait to open the largest wooden box, and saw a ginseng inside, the main stem of this ginseng was about two fingers thick, and the roots were densely covered, and at first glance, it looked like a human beard.

"Hundred-year-old ginseng!" I blurted out.

Long Jiu nodded and said, "This ginseng is harvested from Changbai Mountain, and the ginseng age is at least one hundred and fifty years old. ”

I opened another wooden box, and saw a lotus flower as warm as white jade inside.

"This is the Tianshan Ice Lotus?" I asked, looking up.

"Exactly! This Tianshan Ice Lotus is not easy to obtain, and it is only available in extremely cold places. ”

Long Jiu said, helping me open the other two wooden boxes, which contained the Poria Cocos and the Purple Gold Dendrobium, respectively, and they were all of the best products that were not damaged at all.

I excitedly put away the wooden box and thanked me repeatedly, but Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Everything is here, what about the prescription?" ”

"Hehe, I'll write to you now!" As I spoke, I took out a pen and paper from my backpack and was about to write, but Long Jiu stopped me and said, "Wait! I want to see the prescription handwritten by the old Chinese medicine doctor. ”

Where did I get any handwritten prescriptions, so I had to say: "Ninth Master, you don't know, the recipe was dictated by the old Chinese medicine doctor, and it was not written down." ”

Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Then please take me to meet the old Chinese medicine doctor." ”

I saw that Long Jiu had to find out the true origin of this prescription, and I felt that it was difficult to continue to hide it from him, and after hesitating for a while, I had to tell him the truth: "Ninth Master, let me tell you the truth, in fact, this recipe is the same as the elixir of immortality, both from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and they are both engraved on the stone wall, so I just kept it in my heart, and there is no handwritten prescription." ”

After listening to me, Long Jiu didn't show how surprised he was, on the contrary, his face was calm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Actually, when Brother Wen called me and asked about the four rare medicinal materials, I guessed that this was an alchemy recipe, and I also guessed that this recipe came from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. ”

Wen Qingshan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let the Ninth Master laugh, but how do you know about the Ninth Master?" ”

"Hehe, because the fire pill sand is clearly one of the materials for alchemy, since you asked me about this fire pill sand, I guessed that you want to make alchemy, and among the few rare medicinal materials you asked me, the hundred-year-old mountain participating in the Tianshan Ice Lotus is also the material needed to refine the elixir of immortality, so I was thinking, you may have found more than one secret recipe in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang."

"The Ninth Master is really thoughtful."

"Hehe, then ask Shi Yu to write down this secret recipe."

I nodded, picked up my pen and began to write. I have already memorized the secret recipe for refining the Divine Pill, and it didn't take long for me to finish writing, I handed the written secret recipe to Long Jiu, he held the secret recipe and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where are you going to get this Dragon Yin Sand?" ”

Wen Qingshan and I glanced at each other, shook our heads and said, "Don't say where to get it, we haven't even figured out what the Dragon Yin Sand is." ”

"Hehe, then I'll send you another piece of information for free, according to ancient books, the so-called dragon sand is actually not related to dragons, but a kind of prehistoric giant tortoise secretion."

"Prehistoric giant tortoises!?" Wen Qingshan and I were both stunned.

Long Jiu nodded and said, "This prehistoric giant tortoise is actually the legendary Xuanwu giant tortoise, its size is very large, and when it surfaces, it looks like a small mountain from a distance. ”

After listening to what Long Jiu said, I immediately despaired, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Xuanwu giant tortoise should have been extinct a long time ago, now where can I go to find Longyin Sand!" ”

Who knew that Long Jiu said: "That's not necessarily! Although this basalt giant tortoise is very rare, it has always had traces of it from ancient times to the present. It's just that the places where basalt giant tortoises are found are often cold lakes located deep underground. ”

As soon as Long Jiu's words fell, Wen Qingshan suddenly spoke: "Wait, Ninth Master, you said that this Xuanwu giant tortoise often haunts the cold lakes underground?" ”

Long Jiu nodded: "I think that's why it's called Xuanwu." ”

Wen Qingshan frowned and muttered for a while, then turned his head and said, "Shi Yu, maybe we have seen this Xuanwu giant tortoise before. ”

I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Wen, when did we see a giant turtle as big as a mountain!?" ”

Wen Qingshan said, "Do you remember that there is a secret passage leading to the depths of the earth in that evil stone tomb? ”

I immediately nodded and said, "Of course I do!" There's a big underground lake down there, but I don't remember any giant tortoises there, but there's a huge monkey. ”

"That's right, there's a huge mandrill in there! But do you remember what scared the mandrill away? ”

Hearing Wen Qingshan say this, I immediately understood what he meant, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss Wen, do you mean that it is the Xuanwu giant turtle that sets off huge waves in the water!?" ”

"I think it's very likely, if you think about it, there was a round body of water on the surface of the lake with a diameter of about seven or eight meters that suddenly trembled violently, and I said it could be a crocodile, but the crocodile should be in the shape of a long strip, and the turtle body is round, and in addition, a giant footprint similar to that left by a crocodile was found on the shore. The turtle and the crocodile are both reptiles, and the footprints are very similar, so it is very likely that the footprints were actually left by the basalt giant tortoise. ”
