Chapter Seventy-Six: The Minor Friar
The pattern in the Immortal Ding Pavilion is not small, but it is filled with all kinds of precious medicinal materials, no wonder Chen Rui didn't even see a single treasure of medicinal materials in the Treasure Pavilion. Quickly glanced at it, most of the medicinal materials here are treasures that are more than 100 years old, and there is a ginseng tree that looks good, but unfortunately it is only 800 years old, Chen Rui has no choice but to look for it slowly.
The function of the Spirit Exterminating Stone is not only to disturb the spiritual power, but also to reduce the cultivator's supernatural powers, for example, Chen Rui's current spiritual sense can only open a range of five meters, which is a full two-thirds less than under normal circumstances. Fortunately, the medicinal materials here are organized in an orderly manner, and it is not difficult for Chen Rui to find them, but it may take more than twice as much time.
"This is..."Chen Rui saw several bottles of pills in the cabinet on one wall, and when he opened them, he was very familiar with this pill. It is a "Qi Transformation Pill" that monks will take during the spiritual induction period, which is specially used by disciples who are not very qualified in the spiritual root, and is an elixir prepared to prevent monks from being unable to transform their spiritual energy.
Chen Rui is the qualification of the Heavenly Spirit Root, so he naturally doesn't need these pills, but this kind of pill is in the Wonderful Medicine Valley, and it is an introductory pill that Xia Qifu asked his disciples to use to practice their hands, and he has been exposed to a lot of this kind of knowledge.
"Could it be that Dai Xia Hu is a cultivator of the Spiritual Channeling Period, and his qualifications are not too good?" Chen Rui speculated based on the quality of these elixirs, and then he opened another drawer of the cabinet. It was actually also a "Qi Transformation Pill", Chen Rui wondered, even if it was a monk in the Spiritual Attraction Period, he didn't need so many "Qi Transformation Pills", because the cabinet on this wall was full of the "Qi Transformation Pill", which was enough for twenty monks in the Spiritual Attraction Period.
Chen Rui took a few steps forward, and his spiritual sense just shrouded the top of the cabinet in front of him. "Strange, how can there be so many books in this medicine cabinet?" With curiosity, Chen Rui opened the cabinet.
"On October 1st, the 'Qi Transformation Pill' was refined for the first time, and only one out of ten could be used, which was a good start. ”
"On October 8, the second furnace of 'Huaqi Pill' was refined, and two out of ten could be used, and it seems that the heat is very important. ”
"On October 20, the third furnace of 'Huaqi Dan' was released, and none of the pills could be used. It would have been refined better, but unfortunately the year of the medicinal herb was false and failed."
......
"On the ninth day of the second month, a lot of money has been spent, and I have already mastered the key to refining the 'Qi Transformation Pill', and I will start the next step of refining the 'Zhuyan Pill' tomorrow. ”
Chen Rui quickly flipped through the book in his hand, and it turned out to be the diary of Dai Xiahu about the "Qi Transformation Pill". Judging from the above records, the last time he refined the "Qi Transformation Pill" was a month ago, which happened to coincide with the date he left the city, which also means that the Lingzhi was still in this Immortal Ding Pavilion.
Putting Dai Xiahu's diary back in its place, Chen Rui flipped through other books, which were all records of the sources of some medicinal materials, and they were of no great use.
"Meow~" A milky cry startled Chen Rui, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a half-sized kitten. was staring at Chen Rui's side with wide eyes, and a lot of saliva flowed out of its mouth, and it kept sniffing around.
Chen Rui almost laughed out loud when he saw the kitten like this, it turned out that he had just opened the medicine bottle containing the "Qi Transformation Pill", and the aroma of the pill attracted the kitten. "Shh~" Chen Rui didn't care whether the kitten understood it or not, and directly made a silent gesture, if the kitten jumped on the cabinet and knocked over some medicine bottles, it would not be good. The kitten ignored Chen Rui, jumped directly, and landed on the cabinet next to the stairs, where Chen Rui had just discovered the "Qi Pill".
The next situation made Chen Rui stunned, only to see the kitten stretch out his claws, open the drawer with ease, and run out with a bite of a bottle of elixir. Seeing this situation, where would Chen Rui let it run around, and directly dodged to grab the porcelain bottle in the kitten's mouth. Chen Rui's speed was very fast, and the kitten was still in mid-air, so he arrived, reached out and directly grabbed the porcelain bottle from the kitten's mouth.
"Meow!" the kitten roared with dissatisfaction when he found that the porcelain vase had been snatched away by the bold human in front of him. Chen Rui didn't notice how this small body made such a loud noise, and just as he was about to drive the kitten away, a voice full of anger came.
"I almost forgot, my spiritual power is exhausted, the magic circle has no effect, that damn kitten is stealing again! Look at me if I don't clean you up today!" The person who said this had a very good timbre, but he was on fire, and his tone was out of line, and it was speculated that his age should be about the same age as Chen Rui, twenty-three or four years old.
Chen Rui didn't expect that there were still people in this Immortal Ding Pavilion, so he hurriedly dodged and hid behind a cabinet, secretly scolding the man in his heart for the inaccuracy of the information provided.
The young man upstairs walked quickly, didn't even light the lamp, and ran directly to the hall on this floor. He looked around and found one of the kitten's tails on the inside of the stairs. He pretended not to see it, and slowly approached the kitten, trying to catch him off guard. However, the kitten's body was nimble, and it flashed under the young man's crotch, and the young man continued to chase, and the kitten continued to run. Chen Rui stood behind the cabinet and suddenly felt a chill under his feet, it turned out that there was a vent in this place. He suddenly felt bad, this hole is probably the place where the kitten came in, he is hiding here now, if the kitten is forced to hurry, he will definitely want to go out of this hole, and then he will have nowhere to hide.
Just as Chen Rui was praying, the kitten ran straight in front of Chen Rui as if it was retaliating.
"I'll sue you!" Chen Rui scolded secretly, and seeing that it was impossible to hide anymore, he walked straight out.
The young man saw the kitten running to a dead end, so he quickly ran to that side, but before he could reach the ground, a man in blue came out. The young man opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Are you the cat that became?!"
Chen Rui was stunned by the young man's sudden question, but he still forcibly suppressed the smile in his heart, flashed directly to the young man's side, took out a dagger and put it on the young man's neck: "Don't speak, otherwise my knife won't have eyes!"
The coldness of the body made the young man react, the man in blue in front of him was a robber who broke into the house, and he immediately said: "Your Excellency, don't be excited, you are the master of this Immortal Ding Pavilion, Dai Xiahu, as long as Your Excellency puts down the knife in your hand, I can promise you whatever you want." ”
This news is too exciting, Chen Rui didn't expect that the reckless young man in front of him was the old man Dai who didn't see the tail, which was too far from the image in his heart. The young man has delicate eyebrows, fair skin, and is very handsome, but there is always a childishness between his eyebrows, like a reader sitting on a high desk.
"Are you really the owner of this Dai Mansion, Dai Xiahu?" Chen Rui still didn't believe the young man's words.
"If I lie to you, the sky will thunder!" the young man swore.
"Since you are Dai Xiahu, it will be easy to do, I want to ask you for a thing, I heard that Your Excellency went out a month ago, and you were forced to do such an inappropriate act because of time, and I hope Brother Dai will forgive me." Chen Rui put away the dagger and apologized very sincerely.
Dai Xiahu saw that Chen Rui consciously withdrew his hand, and his words were full of strong apologies, so he said: "Your Excellency is also a cultivator, otherwise it would be impossible not to be greedy for the things in the Treasure Pavilion and run here." Moreover, although the people in my secret sentinel are not the top masters, it is impossible for ordinary thieves to approach this Immortal Ding Pavilion as silently as Your Excellency. ”
Chen Rui nodded in acquiescence.
Next, Dai Xiahu invited Chen Rui to the second floor, and the two sat opposite each other.
"I don't know what Brother Tai is talking about, so it makes Your Excellency so interested, say it, as long as I can help Dai, I will naturally help you. "Dai Xiahu is very polite and arrogant.
However, in Chen Rui's opinion, Dai Xiahu's arrogance is just a rookie who has just entered the path of cultivating the truth, and he doesn't even know the cruelty of the cultivation realm in theory. But Dai Xiahu's attitude also made Chen Rui quite satisfied, and Chen Rui did not hide it: "I heard that Brother Dai bought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum last month, and for some reasons, he urgently needed this thing, so he recklessly entered Your Excellency's treasure land..."
Chen Rui explained his intentions, and Dai Xiahu frowned after hearing this, looking very embarrassed, which made Chen Rui's heart sink, and hurriedly added: "Brother Dai, don't panic, I just use the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum as a medicine primer, not too much, one corner is enough." ”
"Alas~" Dai Xiahu sighed again after hearing this, shook his head and said: "I'm really sorry Brother Tai, I think Your Excellency also knows, although I am a monk, but I mainly focus on Dan Dao, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum has already been used by me to practice making 'Zhuyan Dan', and I really can't do anything." If I ask someone to ask and find it for my brother, it is estimated that there may still be this thing hidden in some big families. ”
Chen Rui was a little depressed after hearing this, his face was not very good-looking, and he went around such a big circle, but in the end he still found nothing, which is really unacceptable.
Dai Xiahu is a monk who has just stepped into the cultivation realm for three years, and he knows very little about the cultivation realm, and he is a Dan cultivator, so he is even more ignorant of the world. Relying on the big business of his family, all the medicinal materials that Dai Xiahu needed to refine the pill were purchased, and he had never encountered such trouble as Chen Rui. However, as Dai Xiahu's cultivation improved, the level of the elixir he refined became higher and higher, and even if he had thousands of family fortunes, it was difficult to buy the materials in them, so he planned to befriend Chen Rui so that he could learn about the affairs of the cultivation realm.
"Brother Chen, although I don't know what pill you need to refine, but according to my years of experience in alchemy, what can be used as a medicine primer can be replaced by something else, can your medicine primer only use that thousand-year-old Lingzhi?"
I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Chen Rui was reminded by Dai Xiahu's question, and it was clearly said in the decoction that he could also use the thousand-year-old snow lotus and the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu as a medicine primer, and he forgot about it in a hurry. Chen Rui suddenly realized: "By the way, you can also use the two flavors of snow lotus and He Shou Wu, but they must be thousands of years old." ”
"Haha. Dai Xiahu laughed, "Brother Chen said earlier, although I have used up the thousand-year-old Lingzhi, I still have a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and since I don't need it in the unilateral refining process, I have been leaving it here, so I will go and bring it to Brother Chen." After Dai Xiahu finished speaking, he got up, not waiting for Chen Rui to say anything.
Looking at the young monk in front of him, Chen Rui remembered the days before he had just been instilled with the knowledge of the cultivation realm, and like Dai Xiahu, he looked at the world too simply, thinking that everyone was an immortal Buddha. In order to repay this person's gift, Chen Rui planned to teach this young monk a lesson, as a senior, although he was also a rookie in cultivation.
