Chapter 41: The Rare Elixir

Li Xuanji and Jin Ning were stunned as they looked at the pill boxes and treasure chests that covered the entire courtyard in front of them. I couldn't speak for a long time.

Ever since handing over the medicine list of the elixir to Ling Zhanye, Li Xuanji has been hiding in the General's Mansion, using some elixir to condition Ling Cangyue's body, hoping to adjust Ling Cangyue to the best state. And Jin Ning has been hiding from penance because of the people coming and going in the General's Mansion, and it is not very convenient to enter and exit. Li Xuanji's cultivation has surpassed her by a lot, which makes her very dissatisfied.

Until today, Ling Zhanye informed Li Xuanji that the elixir was almost ready, and he wanted to ask Li Xuanji to check it.

When Li Xuanji and Jin Ning walked into this courtyard, they were stunned by the boxes containing elixirs that filled the courtyard!

I'm a good girl!

The entire yard is covered with hundreds of large and small boxes. The lid of each box was opened, revealing the elixir inside. Hundreds of rare elixirs were colorful under the sun, exuding a faint treasure light, which simply blinded Li Xuanji's eyes. The medicinal fragrance of various elixirs filled the entire courtyard, and even just smelling it could make people feel a hundred times more refreshed.

It's only been three days! In three days, hundreds of rare elixirs that are hard to buy with money have been prepared, and many of them have actually been overloaded. What happened in the past three days? I feel like I'm missing something.

Jin Ning was speechless when he looked at the elixirs all over the yard.

The General's Mansion is really worthy of being the first general's mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The speed at which the elixir was raised was unheard of! Moreover, most of the elixirs were delivered to the door for free by various nobles and merchants! In terms of this kind of influence and mobilization ability, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, apart from the imperial family, it was probably the first.

There are also several long tables in front of the courtyard, on which are placed several jade boxes. The jade boxes are all carved from rare cold jadeite, revealing a trace of coldness. This is a kind of treasure jade used to preserve elixirs, which works well and is expensive. Then this box must contain the most precious elixir.

Li Xuanji stepped forward and opened them one by one, and the rare elixirs were displayed in front of Li Xuanji.

The intermittent keel flower covered with crystal thorns is as thick as a child's arm; the crane orchid with leaves like a crane has been blued like a sapphire carving; and the green as an emerald Dao robbery bamboo, about a foot high, has grown nine stalks......

Sure enough, they are all priceless!

Mrs. Ling and Ling Cangyue, who came later, looked at the elixirs that filled the courtyard, and there were smiles on their faces. With the elixir comes hope, and it is a big step towards success.

Li Xuanji glanced at the elixirs all over the yard, secretly counted them in his heart, and gradually frowned.

"Uncle Ling, it's still not enough!"

Hearing Li Xuanji's words, Mrs. Ling and Ling Cangyue both looked at Li Xuanji in shock.

"It's still not enough? There are already so many, how can it still be enough? There are only more than 100 kinds of elixirs on the medicine list. ”

Only Ling Zhanye, who had been silent all along, nodded after hearing Li Xuanji's words.

"It's really not enough! There are more than a dozen of the most important rare elixirs!"

When Madam Ling heard that the elixir was really lacking, she couldn't help but get anxious: "How can there be so many precious elixirs? Isn't it that the nobles and merchants of the entire Pingyang City have come to deliver the elixir? And you have already gone to Your Majesty to ask for the elixir." What other herbs can't be scraped together?"

Ling Zhanye shook his head, "These dozen or so elixirs are too precious, all of them are priceless treasures, and any one of them is worth a general's mansion." Even those high-ranking officials and nobles in Pingyang City can rarely afford it. The day before yesterday, the crape myrtle villa in the south of the city had already sent someone to send two kinds of elixir, and I also went to ask Your Majesty for elixirs, and Your Majesty also allowed me to enter the medicine library to select, but I only found five. There are still more than a dozen missing!"

"How so? How can there only be five in the royal treasury?"

Ling Zhanye paused and shook his head again. "I don't know. It stands to reason that the royal treasury should be able to gather all the elixirs. But I don't know why, it seems that all the high-grade elixirs in the treasure house have been swept away many years ago. The five that have been obtained so far are only stocks in recent years. ”

"What can I do then? Without these dozen or so most important elixirs, how could Yue'er rebuild the spiritual veins?" Lady Ling's eyes filled with tears.

Ling Cangyue saw Ling Zhanye's embarrassed appearance, looked at her mother's sad tears, sighed, hugged her and said, "Mother, father." Since you can't raise the elixir no matter what, it doesn't matter if you don't build this spiritual vein!"

"Yue'er...... It's my father's incompetence! Not only will your cultivation be wasted, but you won't even be able to heal your injuries......"

Ling Zhanye was probably the first time he felt his incompetence like this, and his face was full of pain and helplessness.

Jin Ning looked at the three members of the Ling family, pulled the corner of Li Xuanji's clothes in a low voice, and looked at him expectantly. "Uncle Junior, you must have a way, right?"

Li Xuanji looked at the elixir all over the yard, estimated it, and had a bottom in his heart.

"That...... Uncle Ling, in fact, the elixir is almost the same now. I can make up the rest. ”

"You?" Ling Zhanye heard Li Xuanji's words, and asked with doubts: "There are still more than ten rare elixirs on the medicine list you gave, how can you get them together?"

Li Xuanji didn't speak, but put down the cloth bag he was carrying on his back. Then he took out one jade box after another from it and placed it on the table. He took out a full ten jade boxes before he stopped.

Ling Zhanye looked at the ten small jade boxes on the table, and suddenly realized something in his heart. Walking briskly to the table, he carefully opened one of the jade boxes. A bright red orchid like a phoenix came into view, and the tender leaves swayed slightly, as if a flame was burning.

"Millennial Fire Phoenix Orchid?!"

Ling Zhanye excitedly opened a jade box again. In the jade box was a swarthy doll. The 'doll' has sound hands and feet, eyebrows and smiles, and is cute. The whole body is smooth and smooth, as if carved from black jade. If you look closely, it is not the black jade, but the roots of the plant.

"Two thousand years of He Shou Wu!"

Ling Zhanye was excited, and opened all the jade boxes one after another, and the strange elixirs were displayed in front of several people.

The nine-leaf ginseng king that is as beautiful as topaz, the fire lingzhi that is as bright as crystal, and the round and full yellow reincarnation spirit fruit...... There's even a thousand-colored flower!

"These are all ......," Ling Zhanye felt that he couldn't speak very neatly.

"Oh, these are all picked up on the way here, Uncle Ling doesn't have to care. Now that the elixir is almost complete, I think we can arrange Miss Ling's pulse building next. Li Xuanji said lightly.

Ling Zhanye: "......"

Hearing Li Xuanji's words, Ling Zhanye, a great master, almost didn't bite off his tongue.

What do you mean by picking them on the road? What do you mean by not caring about them? Are these rare elixirs good or not, every one of them can cause a huge sensation in the imperial city, and every value can top a general's mansion! And this is not one plant, but ten plants in one go! What is the concept of ten rare elixirs? This is a quantity that is not even in the imperial medicine storehouse! Can this be picked by the roadside? Are you all the way from the Forest of Gods and Demons? Don't care? Who can not care? Even His Majesty would be shocked if he stood here, right?

Ling Zhanye calmed down the turmoil in his heart, wanting to calm himself down.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and asked, "Each of these medicines is a priceless treasure, and I am afraid that you can exchange it for whatever you want in Pingyang City." Even if you use it for cultivation, you can make your strength grow by leaps and bounds, and you will have no worries for a hundred years. Are you really willing to take it all out, and you will never regret it?"

Li Xuanji looked at Ling Zhanye and secretly admired it in his heart. If someone else had encountered such a good thing, he would have agreed to it a long time ago, but he still had to ask himself repeatedly if he regretted it. It is worthy of being the first person in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be upright.

"What is there to regret about this? The elixir is supposed to be used to cure diseases and save people, so why should we exchange it for fame and fortune? The ancestors of the sect have been trained, and we must not covet glory, wealth, fame, and fortune. In practice, why should people care about these things outside of their bodies? Moreover, even if you use these elixirs to cultivate, the cultivation you get will not be solid after all, and it will ruin your own good future. ”

Ling Zhanye looked at Li Xuanji with a complicated expression. These words were really just the words of a twelve-year-old boy? Compared to myself, it seems that I lived in vain when I was young.

"Okay, Uncle Ling, nephew of Xuanji, has written it down. In the future, the general's mansion will be regarded as his own home, and if there is any need, just ask. Uncle Ling will definitely do his best to help you. ”

Ling Cangyue looked at Li Xuanji, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly smiled after a long time. "Brother Xuanji, sister, thank you. ”

Mrs. Ling looked at Li Xuanji with a face full of love, and couldn't help but step forward and hold him in her arms. rubbed Li Xuanji's long hair with his face.

Li Xuanji touched the half-empty cloth bag, felt Mrs. Ling's motherly heart, and suddenly felt that this should be what he wanted the most!

With the elixir provided by Li Xuanji, the matter of building a pulse for Ling Cangyue was half completed. All that remains is to make intensive arrangements for the preparation of the pulse, the location of the pulse, the preparation of objects, and various safety matters.

"Xuanji nephew, can you tell me how long it will take to build this vein? Gongsun Yuanjia once said that with the ability of his master elders, it will take ten years to step by step. And Shangguan Lengyun's request was also to bring Yue'er back to the Great Departure Dynasty for ten years. Ling Zhanye asked.

When Li Xuanji heard this question, his face became much more solemn. After thinking for a long time, he replied, "If it is with my master's ability, I believe that he will definitely be able to complete the task of rebuilding the spiritual veins in three days. Even if it's slow, it only takes five days. Although he taught me, I never tried. I can't guess how long it will take. I think that even if it goes well, it will take several times longer than him, and if it is slow, I am afraid it will take more than a month. ”

Ling Zhanye's face was shocked when he heard this.

What a great figure Li Xuanji's master should be! It takes ten years for other spiritual masters to work, but it only takes him three days! Even if he teaches an apprentice, it only takes one month. I am afraid that it will be a lifelong regret to not be able to make friends with such a person in this life!

When Ling Zhanye was still stunned, Steward Nian had already walked over.

"Sir, everything is ready. It's time to go!"
