Volume 1 Mortal Hidden Immortals Chapter 18 Small Jar
After breaking up with Qian Baocai, Nangong Xiao was not in a hurry to go home, but walked into a silk village under the name of Qian Mansion and asked for a silk robe to change into. On the one hand, it is to hide people's eyes, after all, I am going to play, not to be a laborer, and it is too suspicious to wear a coarse cloth short clothes. On the other hand, it is also to test whether the token given by Qian Baocai works. As a result, the role of the token was greatly unexpected by itself.
The guy at the counter saw Nangong Xiao who was dressed poorly, and his attitude was contemptuous at first, but when he saw the token, he directly kowtowed to make amends, respectfully invited him into the private room, and presented the best Qiluo tea and a plate of seasonal fruits in Lucheng, and was served by a beautiful waiter.
Such a warm reception made Nangong Xiao a little uncomfortable, but because of his ice face, he didn't show any embarrassed expression. Before he could sit on the sandalwood chair, the shopkeeper of the silk village rushed out of the door panting, and only entered the private room after getting Nangong Xiao's consent, his demeanor and movements were very restrained. It gives people the illusion that Nangong Xiao is the one in power here, and the shopkeeper is the miscellaneous person.
It seems that this token is not as simple as a free coupon, but a Shang Fang sword, this money treasure is really worthy of himself, and he is willing to put in such a big effort to win himself over. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
The rest of everything went very smoothly, after Nangong Xiao explained that he wanted a robe, the shopkeeper hurriedly found the best tailor in the village to tailor it for him, and made two sets in less than an hour, and helped him design a few sets for him to prepare for the future. Nangong Xiao is not ambiguous, he is not cheap, he does not take advantage of it, and he accepts it all. However, he refused the request sent by the shopkeeper to his house, after all, it was better not to reveal his identity, and to maintain his mysterious properties to seek more benefits for himself.
When Nangong Xiaojin was wrapped in brocade clothes and returned to his small courtyard, Xiao Cui, Su Liu, Zhao Er, and Steward Liu in the courtyard put down their work and greeted him. Sister Xiaocui asked even more coldly, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and asked him why he didn't write a letter for so long. Nangong Xiao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, this kind of feeling of being cared for has not been felt for a long time, although he didn't say anything, he already regarded Sister Xiaocui as his own sister in his heart.
I told everyone about my experience, of course, the part of collecting medicine and saving money and treasure was covered up, and I only talked about going to Guangliao City, and made up some content, so that it was true or false, and everyone couldn't hear anything wrong. And Nangong Xiao gave them the local products he bought in Guangliao City as a gift, and everyone was surprised, and they naturally believed Nangong Xiao's experience.
After sending Zhao Er and the others away, Nangong Xiao returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, and swept it again with his divine sense, after making sure that there was no one else, he took out a package from the bamboo basket and opened it, which was full of spiritual grass and a few wooden boxes collected by himself, as for the other tools for collecting medicine, and the huge bear skin and sharp fangs of the demon bear were too conspicuous, they had already been buried by themselves in a place outside the city, and they would be taken later.
Looking at these spirit grasses, Nangong Xiao didn't show any joy, because there was only one mature spirit grass among them, and the others were all seedlings. How much can this tree improve his cultivation, he is not optimistic, after all, the higher the cultivation realm, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and just one plant will not play a role. In addition, when the seedlings mature and it is a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, then one's cultivation will be intermittent, which is too slow. But what worries him the most is whether there will be any side effects after taking it, and that weird spirit grass has left some psychological shadows on himself. If you are unlucky and eat a spirit grass, and then you lack any ability, it will be more than worth the loss.
Nangong Xiao stared at this pile of spirit grass for a long time and didn't have any idea, so he simply lay on the bed on all fours, closing his eyes and recuperating. Suddenly, he sat up and took out the mysterious little jar from the cupboard.
This small jar is quite mysterious, and the last time it had no effect either by physical methods or by pouring mana, it shows how extraordinary it is. Now that I'm upset by the matter of the spirit grass, I might be able to change my mood by studying it.
Nangong Xiao played with it, but no matter how you look at it, there is nothing surprising about the small pot, the earthy yellow color of the ordinary clay pot is like a jar for crickets, and the color of the general wine jar is better than it. But it's so hard that it can't be opened. Why don't you go straight to the evil knife? It's not proper, if this is a legendary magic weapon, wouldn't it be a pity to cut it.
So he reached out and tried to pull the plug off the canister. Last time, he was only cultivating at the first level of Qi, but now that he has reached the fourth layer, maybe it will be done? Then see what's inside.
As soon as he thought of it, Nangong Xiao injected force into his palm and tried to pull out the plug again. This time it went well, the plug was twisted a few times, and it was easily pulled out.
Nangong Xiao looked at the jar, and there were five milky white pills lying quietly inside, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, which actually made his Zhou Tian faintly start to run on its own. He hurriedly plugged the plug to prevent the effect of the medicine from draining. This is really the elixir that Li Hua talked about, this ancestor of the Li family is really thoughtful about future generations, but unfortunately there are a little less, only five.
For a while, he was silent when he caressed the small jar, and after half a ring, Nangong Xiao opened the jar again, took out a pill, opened his mouth and swallowed it, and then meditated and refined it on the bed.
Countless thoughts flashed through his heart just now, but he vetoed them one by one, and finally decided to refine these pills first. In any case, even if they don't take it, they won't be able to lay eggs and give birth. It's better to use it to quickly improve your cultivation first, and maybe there will be a solution when you go to the next level of cultivation.
This meditation is a day and a night, during which no one disturbs except for the food delivered by Sister Xiaocui. However, the effect was very significant, Nangong Xiao felt that taking this pill had saved him five or six years of hard work, and his cultivation had also reached the peak of the fourth layer of Qi cultivation. Under his joy, he refined the remaining four one by one, and five days later, Nangong Xiao who was meditating gently snorted, and a small whirlwind blew around him, causing the tables, chairs and benches to stagger, and the rice paper on the desk to blow everywhere.
Nangong Xiao opened his eyes, he was not surprised by everything in the room, he checked himself with his divine sense, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally reached the fifth layer of qi training. Originally, after taking three pills, he couldn't break through the four-layer bottleneck for a long time, and he felt a little uneasy, so he made a desperate bet and took the remaining two pills at the same time. As a result, the majestic aura almost broke his meridian pulse, and it took three days to finally break through to the fifth layer under the condition of struggling to exert his medicinal properties. But at this point, Nangong Xiao didn't want to do this again.
