Chapter 11: I'm going to be Mayor of the Town
Li Zunbao thought for a while, "I am in the Immortal Sect, I can't wait for the Quenching Pill once a month, I really have to buy it from this guy, but this is too expensive! ”
With a smile, he handed over ten gold bars and said to Zhang Mouse: "Senior brother, 10,000 taels of one, I'll buy one first this month, but I think if we can also refine this elixir, then won't we send it?"
Zhang Mouse greedily put away the gold bar and nodded: "Well, a gold bar is worth 1,000 taels of silver, and ten are exactly 10,000 taels of silver, I will bring you a quenching pill in two days, don't think about refining medicine, ordinary medicine tripods can't refine immortal medicine at all, only the kind of medicine tripod forged by heaven and earth treasure can be refined, just one medicine tripod is a priceless treasure, although the materials for refining the quenching pill are not very expensive, but no one teaches you how to refine the pill, it is also in vain." ”
Li Zunbao was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect alchemy to be so complicated, although he had a medicine tripod, but he couldn't refine the pill, wouldn't it be in vain? ”
Zhang Mouse looked at Li Zunbao helplessly and said: "The third elder is the elder of our Immortal Sect who is specially responsible for alchemy, but only indoor disciples have the opportunity to learn it, so don't think about it for our disciples outside the sect." ”
Li Zunbao was also speechless for a moment, and then the disciple who guarded the door walked in with a set of clothes and a book, and walked over when he saw Li Zunbao.
The disciple handed the things in his hand to Li Zunbao and said, "At this time, the clothes and cultivation handcopies issued to you by the Xianmen Sect will be the day when the pill will be issued in two days, and you will receive the pill when you are ready for 500 taels." After speaking, he stood there and looked at Li Zunbao with a smile and did not speak.
Li Zunbao hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the disciples, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I have something I want to know, let's come over and talk about it." After speaking, he pulled the disciple who guarded the door and walked out of the room, found a place where no one was around, and stopped.
Li Zunbao whispered: "Senior brother, I want to learn alchemy, I wonder if senior brother can find some alchemy books for junior brother?"
When the disciple at the gate heard this, he hurriedly approached Li Zunbao and said: "This alchemy is all practiced by the indoor disciples with the three elders, but there is no such book, but I can help you find a few hand-copied copies in the hands of the indoor disciples, you see if it will work." ”
Li Zunbao hurriedly took out a gold bar and stuffed it into the hands of the disciples, and said with a smile, "Then bother the senior brother, this is a reward, not a tribute, you accept it first." ”
When the disciple saw that it was a gold bar, his eyes instantly widened, he glanced around, hurriedly stuffed it in his pocket, and whispered: "Okay, don't worry about this matter, I'll bring you a copy here tomorrow, I'll leave first." ”
Li Zunbao looked at the disciples guarding the gate and thought, "This immortal sect really spends money like running water, and in less than a day, he actually spent almost all the money in his pocket, it seems that he wants to go back to the cottage and get some more money." ”
Li Zunbao came to Hongyun Restaurant, inquired about Yanrong'er's residence from the boss, pushed open the door and found that Yanrong'er was in a daze in the house, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Broken flowers, quickly, follow me back to the village." ”
Yan Rong'er asked inexplicably, "What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Zunbao pulled the broken flowers out of the restaurant and said as he walked: "Today is the first day I have become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I need to go back and get something." ”
The two of them went out of the town and got on the carriage and went back to the cottage, when Li Zunbao and Yan Rong'er returned to the cottage, they were stunned, and when they went out in the morning, the cottage was still poor, and everyone in the cottage was wearing new clothes, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and everything were running around. And there were obviously a few more people who didn't know each other, and a group of people building houses there.
Li Zunbao saw Friday, who was holding a big pot of stew next to him, and hurriedly walked up and asked, "Friday, what's going on?"
Friday was opening the meat pot and stirring it with a stick, when he heard Li Zunbao speak, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The big boss, the blind man and Zhao Er are back, they have bought a lot of things, and they have brought a group of people back, and they are arranging a cottage to build a house over there." ”
Li Zunbao looked up and saw that in the crowd building a house over there, the blind man was directing over there, turned his head and said to Yanrong'er: "Broken flowers, it's too messy outside, you put the things you bought home first, and I'll go back later." ”
"Well, okay. ”
Yan Rong'er nodded after hearing this, took the things she bought, and walked towards Li Zunbao's thatched house.
Li Zunbao looked at Yanrong'er's background and thought, "It would be great if I really married a daughter-in-law like this." ”
The blind man was directing people to work, and when he saw Li Zunbao coming over, he hurriedly said: "Big boss, you are back, you see that I have started to build a building according to what you said, and there are still some merchants in the town whose goods have been prepared in the past two days, so I will go over and pull it." ”
Li Zunbao understood immediately after listening, it turned out that this was the case, but he didn't expect that the efficiency of the blind people was not low, and he had just gone out for less than a day, and the cottage began to be lively.
Li Zunbao smiled and patted the blind man on the shoulder and said, "Yes, it's quite efficient, you can get busy first, I still have something to do." With that, he walked to the cellar.
Li Zunbao came to the cellar and saw that half of the boxes had been used up today, and there were seventeen and a half boxes of gold bars, and the remaining two boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings were not moved, and he thought, "I can't run back every time I need money." It seems that it is necessary to buy a house in Qingshan Town, Yanrong'er is not suitable for a woman to stay in the cottage for a long time, not necessarily one day someone will leak her mouth, it will be a bad thing. ”
Li Zunbao was just about to walk out of the cellar when he saw Zhao Er walk in.
Zhao Er looked at the big boss and hurriedly said: "Big boss, I heard that you are back, I just looked for you for a long time and didn't find it, I heard that someone saw you enter the cellar, so I hurried over." ”
Li Zunbao asked strangely, "Hmm, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Zhao Er glanced left and right, took out a black package, opened it with his hand, and gave it to Li Zunbao.
Li Zunbao fixed his eyes, isn't this the corrupt official's incumbent clerk, and asked strangely: "What are you doing with this, isn't this the incumbent clerk of Qingshan Town?"
Zhao Er looked at Li Zunbao and said: "Big boss, I inquired, there has been no new mayor after the death of the previous mayor of Qingshan Town, this time the new mayor was transferred from a far away place, everyone doesn't know it, this is what I found from the dead corrupt official, I thought it was a treasure at the time, and later I found out that it was this." ”
Li Zunbao put the paperwork back in the package, walked back and forth in the cellar for two steps, and thought, "This Qingshan Town is really good, and with this paperwork, maybe I can try to be the mayor of the town." ”
Li Zunbao walked up to Zhao Er and said: "Zhao Er, you take the money, go to Qingshan Town to buy a big mansion with a hidden point, and then pull these gold treasures or something into the house, send someone to guard it for me, and when the time comes, just go to the Xianmen Sect to find me, after all this is done, let's go to Qingshan Town to be the mayor." ”
