Chapter 6: The Twin Handmaidens
He smiled at the clerk and nodded, and then walked directly to the counter where the elixir was sold, there were many kinds of elixirs here, and Lu Ling didn't know many things, but he could still understand it after reading the introduction.
Many things here are of high value, although they are only some ordinary medicines that are not in the product, and the price of these ordinary medicines ranges from tens of thousands of silver coins to hundreds of gold coins, and he could only look at them a year ago.
The annual income of an ordinary family is only about a dozen to dozens of gold coins, so practicing martial arts is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
Fortunately, the law used to practice martial arts in the early stage was widespread in the empire, and as long as ordinary people with this idea could go to the City Lord's Mansion to register and apply.
Walking along the counter, he finally saw what he wanted to buy, a blood-red plant, just three one-finger-wide leaves, and a small blue flower, a perfect grade general medicine bauhinia.
"I saw that the above introduced that the perfect grade general medicine Bauhinia flower, born on the top of the volcano, has been exposed to high temperature radiation for many years, contains eighty percent of the fire attribute energy, and is an adjuvant for refining the first-grade spirit pill Ziji Dan and Lieyang Pill, and the price is six hundred gold coins;"
Noticing that Lu Ling stopped, the clerk's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to buy this bauhinia?"
"Pack this bauhinia for me;" Lu Ling said directly.
"Okay guest officer, you wait a minute, it's fine;" said the clerk and hurried to pack his things, which he could hardly entertain such a big customer.
"By the way, how do you sell anemones;" Lu Ling asked again.
The water anemone that Lu Ling asked is a kind of dew collected on a plant called Yin pine in the place where the morning sun rises, and then uses this dew to combine with some general medicines with yin attribute energy The yin attribute water anemone refined by precious alchemists, is also a perfect level general medicine second only to the first-order elixir.
The reason why I wanted to buy these things was because Lu Ling saw in an ancient history book of his family, saying that it was a perfect-grade yin-attribute general medicine combined with bauhinia flowers, supplemented by several other medium-level and high-grade healing drugs with mild medicinal properties, which could effectively temper the efficacy of the martial arts body.
Those who succeed can exponentially accelerate the speed of the martial artist's qi and blood improvement in the early stage, and it is dedicated to ancient body refining cultivators, but if they can't survive the difficulties, the most serious consequence may be to lead to the destruction of the martial arts path.
His current situation is a bit urgent, and he must fight hard, otherwise his previous efforts may be wasted, so when he saw this content, he did not hesitate to write it down and decided to use it.
"Guest, yes, a bottle of water anemone is ten drops, and the price is three hundred gold coins, how many bottles can you take?" the clerk asked.
"Take two bottles and wrap them for me;" Although the price was very expensive, one bottle was almost enough, but I still took two bottles.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute;"
Soon, the clerk sent everything to Lu Ling, and when he saw the liquid as big as peanuts in the transparent bottle, his heart twitched uncontrollably, and he cursed secretly, "Black shop!"
I took a few lower-grade auxiliary healing medicines, paid the money, and walked towards Lu Mansion without looking back.
Lu Mansion, located in the northern edge of Lianshan Town, covers a vast area, pavilions and attics in the house, by the mountains and rivers, continuous, thousands of years of ancient trees as decoration can be seen everywhere, especially the plaque on the gate of the wide Lu Mansion, faintly also exudes a glimmer of light and only belongs to the top martial artists have a faint spiritual pressure, it seems quite imposing.
The main veins and branches of the Lu family have a combined population of thousands of people, and there are many strangers in and out of the Lu Mansion every day, mainly because the Lu family controls more than seventy percent of the mineral vein resources in Lianshan Town and the commercial contacts of the surrounding towns.
And Tang Bo's family, the Tang family, is in the center of the town and controls more than eighty percent of the inner city income in Lianshan Town.
Under the constraints of the imperial law, the city lord's mansion is absolutely not allowed to participate in the disputes of any local forces, so naturally they cannot own any property.
Participants without reason, regardless of whether the circumstances are serious, will be dismissed from their posts and sent to prison, and they will be imprisoned, and they will be beheaded all over the house, of course, this is only established when they are not threatened, so the presence of the city lord's mansion in each city is extremely low.
This makes the two major families deserving overlords in this small town of only 100,000 people, of course, they will not provoke the city lord's mansion.
As soon as Lu Ling came back, he walked towards his residence, and he was about to pass through the martial arts training ground of Lu Mansion on the way, and after a while, he heard a shout from the front, which was the younger generation of the Lu family boxing, and occasionally there would be family elders next to him to guide.
There are dozens of teenagers, but none of them have broken through the bloody realm like Lu Ling, and naturally many people recognize Lu Ling's arrival.
"Isn't that Lu Ling;"
"He hasn't come to practice martial arts with us more than a year ago, and he doesn't know what to do when he goes out, so he's going to the mountains again;"
"I'm afraid of being isolated, and if I have a good thing, I won't come;"
"Who knows what he's going to do, since he left shit luck a year ago and suddenly made so many gold coins, and then he seems to have changed as a person, running into the mountains from time to time;"
"Not really;"
"This kind of fool, thinking that such good things happen every day, runs into the mountains every once in a while;"
"Hmph, look at his poor and sour appearance, it's really a shame for our Lu family;"
"Alas, if I had so much money, I would have broken through the Blood Realm a long time ago;"
"Seeing that he is carrying a bag, he will not really gain anything;"
"It's a reward to carry a bag, I think I might have picked up some;"
Many people whispered and pointed at Lu Ling, and almost everyone thought Lu Ling was a fool.
Although others said this about him, for Lu Ling, who had long been accustomed to hearing him, there was no need to pay attention to it at all.
Suddenly, seeing more than a dozen movable wooden stakes in front of him, Lu Ling paused, suddenly became interested, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A soft "Shadowless Step;"
Immediately, a flying body came to the wooden stake and stopped and jumped, and stepped on the first wooden stake steadily, and the moment Lu Ling landed on the wooden stake, the wooden stake in front of him suddenly moved as if it came to life.
If you look closely, you can find that there is actually a certain law implied in this, but people who don't understand will only think that this is a random movement, but in fact, this is the essence of the shadowless step.
After stopping for less than a breath, he moved, although the frequency of the stake's movement was very fast, but Lu Ling was not affected at all, his easy footsteps were so fast that the others were dazzled, and sometimes it seemed that he was about to step on the air, but there was always a stake that moved to his feet.
The coherent movements are relaxed and freehand, without looking flustered at all, and the smooth pace of the clouds shows an indescribable chic.
In the end, Lu Ling didn't forget to do a backflip and landed perfectly on the ground on the other side, and he didn't look at the expressions of the people behind him, so he walked through the martial arts training ground towards his residence, and didn't forget to mutter.
"Well, I don't know if I can ask the elders and change the residence for me, I have to pass by here every time I go back, which makes everyone embarrassed, well, it seems that I have to ask, and I am also thinking about the harmony within the family;" Although the voice was not loud, it was just enough for everyone to hear.
A group of young boys and girls looked at this series of situations, stunned in place, their eyes just staring at Lu Ling who disappeared in the distance, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts.
"Wow, he looked so chic just now;"
A light female voice broke the silent air, this was a little girl of eight or nine years old, covering her immature cheeks and looking at the direction where Lu Ling disappeared, her eyes lit up and said.
"Joke, he~he~he's just~ just a fist embroidered leg, Feifei, don't be deceived by him, he's a waste who doesn't learn anything, fool;"
The little girl innocently looked at this guy and said in a milky voice: "Brother Zhimin, I saw you fall on it yesterday?"
The man's face turned red when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say, and the other people next to him also blushed, which was suffocating.
The man looked at the direction in which Lu Ling left, his heart was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to go up to him, he was not stupid, through the scene just now, he knew that Lu Ling was no longer something he could bully.
He scolded to himself: "Damn, what has this guy been through this year?"
At this moment, an elder walked over, about forty years old, with sharp edges and corners, a tall nose, cloudy eyes, a gray robe wrapped around his body, and a wine bottle in his hand.
shouted in a slightly lazy voice: "Ahem, okay, okay, don't make trouble, hurry up and practice;"
The shouting echoed in the martial arts training ground again, obviously louder than before, and this elder was Lu Fu, the second elder of the Lu family.
His chaotic eyes looked straight at the direction where Lu Ling disappeared, recalling the scene just now in his mind, then turned around, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, but the depths of his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking ...... heart.
Lu Ling returned to the residence, and when the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls saw Lu Ling coming back, they came over with a smile and said respectfully: "The slave has seen the young master;"
This is Lu Ling's twin maids, who look very similar, sister Qingling, sister Hongwei, nearly sixteen years old, a few months older than him, growing up together, they are maidservants and sisters.
Although the two girls are young, their beautiful faces are like hibiscus out of the water, showing a little red, looking extremely smart and delicate, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, Qiong nose, and red lips are all perfectly matched, and they are born with a charming posture.
This year, he turned over, and naturally he would not treat the two girls badly, and with his help, they also had the cultivation of the quenching realm at the level of martial arts.
He looked at Qingling Hongwei, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the chests of the two, and his mind involuntarily compared with his previous memories and thought, "I used to be just a pair of little beauties, but now I can barely say that they are a pair of standard big beauties;"
Of course, he didn't dare to say it.
waved his hand at the two women and said, "Okay, Qingling Hongwei, I want to take a bath, you go and prepare some hot water, and then there will be nothing to do, these two fish, bring them to you, deal with them yourself, and have a good meal;"
"Yes, young master;" the two women bowed slightly.
Meimu stared at the package that Lu Ling took out, which contained two fish wrapped in butter paper.
The two women have long been accustomed to this in their hearts, and they are still very happy every time, their martial arts practice process is still in the stage of quenching the body and quenching the muscles, and the herring fish is the best time for them, and such a delicacy can not be eaten in ordinary times, but in Lu Ling, it has been eaten several times.
