CHAPTER XXXIII

The lost top elixir

——————————————

......

In front of the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce is the trading market of Qingyan City.

In addition to trading medicinal herbs, equipment, and other goods, there are also some places for people to stop.

Most of them are pubs.

It just so happened that Jiang Heng was a good wine person! In addition to the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce, he smelled the wine all the way to a nearby tavern.

"Your Excellency should be your first time in Qingyan City, right?"

The old alchemist who followed beside him asked.

Can he follow Jiang Heng out...... Obviously, he has seen that the identity of the person in front of him must be unusual. Especially when leaving, leaving three pills for auction, there was also a fourth-order demon beast crystal nucleus.

But...... When asked about the demon beast crystal nucleus.

Jiang Heng replied: "I just said that this crystal nucleus is not going to be sold!"

"Then ......" The middle-aged man was embarrassed to speak directly for Jiang Heng to take it back, so he had to squeak there in embarrassment.

Until Jiang Heng spoke again: "This crystal nucleus is not for sale, but it can be sent!"

"Send?" The middle-aged man was stunned: "To whom?"

"Do you have women here?"

The middle-aged man was stunned again: "There is ......"

Jiang Heng smiled: "Then give this crystal nucleus to the most beautiful one!"

That's it...... The crystal nucleus of a fourth-order demon beast was given to a beautiful woman she had never met.

......

For such a person, even an old man who is a second-grade alchemist has to wonder what the origin of this person around him is.

A fourth-order crystal nucleus was casually given to someone he had never met......

With such curiosity and doubts, the old man put down the shelf of the second-grade alchemist he usually carried, and came to this slightly vulgar tavern with Jiang Heng.

......

The two sat down in a window seat on the second floor.

I ordered two pots of the restaurant's signature wine.

Just when the old man was already a little impatient and wanted to ask the person in front of him about the origin.

"Under Jiang Heng!"

He took off his cloak and lifted the cloak, revealing a tattered garment.

Judging by his appearance, he turned out to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Although he was prepared, he was still surprised by the composure and calmness shown by the young man.

The person in front of him looked average, his skin was slightly dark, and his slightly raised toes could be seen at a glance that his right leg was injured, so he was holding a bamboo stick as a cane.

The only special thing is that pair of eyes...... An indescribable wildness and confidence were engraved in the depths of the pupils of those eyes. It should have been an unpleasant arrogance, but in this young man, it was so natural, as if he was born, and he didn't have that annoyance.

What's even more interesting is that this young man saw through his mind twice in a row.

The first time was the Chamber of Commerce, and when he was going to talk to him alone, he took the initiative to invite himself first. The second time was now, when he was about to ask his name, he took the initiative to explain it first.

Could it be that this young man in front of him knows how to read minds?

It's not easy......

The old man sighed slightly in his heart, and then replied: "Old man He Huanglou!"

"Luckily!"

"Same!"

Jiang Heng held the wine jug in one hand, and after filling each of the two glasses with wine, the corners of his lips gently wiped a trace of wine, and asked:

"Let's get straight to the point, what are you going to know from me?"

"It seems that Mr. Xiao really has the ability to observe words and feelings!" He Huanglou replied: "The old man is not hiding it anymore! Just now when I was appraising Mr. Xiao's elixir, I found some problems!"

Jiang Heng still sat there calmly: "Is the grade wrong?"

"No!" He Huanglou shook his head: "But too!"

A smile flashed across the corner of Jiang Heng's mouth: "Then you have to be sure, if the grade appraisal is high, it will be your Shicheng Chamber of Commerce that loses money!"

He Huanglou said affirmatively: "It's low!"

Jiang Heng said: "Then it seems that I lost ........"

"You don't lose, and I don't make money!" After He Huanglou finished saying this, he immediately secretly glanced at Jiang Heng's eyes, and found that his gaze was still as calm as ever. Secret Dao: This son is calm, and it is difficult to see his intentions from the outside......

In fact, He Huanglou didn't know that the reason why Jiang Heng was able to maintain his composure at this moment was because he couldn't understand what He Huanglou meant when he said it was low, and what it meant when it was high.

At this moment, he understands one thing, that is, it is not appropriate to say too much.

Instead of answering randomly, it is better to wait for the other person to speak.

I believe that at this moment, He Huanglou should be even more impatient than himself!

Sure enough, this half-hundred-year-old alchemist couldn't help but blurt out, "Those three pills of yours are not second-grade top-grade pills, but second-grade top-grade pills!"

"You may have misjudged!" Although Jiang Heng had not studied alchemy, he also knew the basic knowledge of alchemy, which mentioned that the level of elixir was divided into nine grades, and each grade had three grades. There is no such thing as a top-tier.

However, He Huanglou said very firmly: "The old man is absolutely not wrong! This is the top elixir in the lost grade......

After listening to the words of the Yellow Crane Tower, Jiang Heng slowly poured another glass of wine into his empty wine glass.

"So, the old man really wants to know which way your Excellency is going......"

He Huanglou's words were ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Heng: "Before answering you this, I want to hear why this top-grade pill was lost?"

"As an alchemist, you don't even know about this?"

He Huanglou looked at Jiang Heng suspiciously, Jiang Heng said, "I said it, I'm not an alchemist......

Seeing that Jiang Heng didn't look like he was talking fakely, He Huanglou hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "According to legend, hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even more ago, the alchemists of the human world suffered a great calamity......

......

The story told by He Huanglou is roughly as follows:

In the human world about hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a genius alchemist.

However, it is said that the guy did not even get into a grade, and the reason for this is not recorded in detail. It's just that in the story passed down by word of mouth, it is said that this alchemist has a strange character! Moreover, the method of refining the elixir is even more evil, which has been opposed by many traditional alchemists. For this reason, he has practiced the medicine path for many years, and he has not even passed the assessment of a first-grade alchemist.

Later, this person held a grudge against this, and in a fit of rage, he killed all the alchemists in the human world. Among them, there was also a genius who was known as surpassing the god of medicine at that time.

In this great tribulation, only one-twelfth of the alchemist lineage remains.

The famous top elixir of that year was almost lost..... In the hundreds of thousands of years of the later generations, although from time to time someone was able to raise the level of the pill to the top, the method was extremely strict and would never be passed on.

As a result, it is extremely difficult to find the top elixir in the grade......

Many alchemists who did not have a top-level pill refining method were embarrassed, and under the joint letter, after removing the original upper, middle and lower top four grades, the remaining upper, middle and lower three grades of pills.

......

That's the story!

After listening to this simple story, Jiang Heng was momentarily confused.

Then he sent a message to the old ghost: "This is the good thing you did back then? This is the reason why you hate alchemists?
