Chapter Forty-Nine: Profiteers?
Rajah?
This matter even involves a prince?
Li Changqing frowned and looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously.
Seeing that Zhang Yu continued to explain.
"We, the immortal cultivators, will only go out except for the ones like today, and we are not allowed to go out without permission on weekdays, and we all have to cultivate in one palace."
"Therefore, it is even more unlikely that I have anything to do with this so-called Ni Youbin."
After listening to Zhang Yu's explanation, Li Changqing's face softened a lot, and even Lin Xiaowen was no longer so hostile to him.
"I was ordered to arrest you, and I was also entrusted by the prince, and he only told me that there were loose cultivators on this street who were making trouble in Lin'an City, and even caused deaths, so I came here."
Li Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, he had believed Zhang Yu's words nine times out of ten, if nothing else, then the person behind Ni Youbin should be the prince.
And if Zhang Yu's words are true, I am afraid that the behavior of those immortal cultivators who bully men and women is also false, and even the rumors deliberately spread by some people, the purpose of which is to hide people's eyes and ears!
"Do you know what that prince's name is?"
Li Changqing asked Zhang Yu with a calm face.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was also annoyed because he was played by a mortal, thinking that he was also an immortal cultivator, and it was unforgivable to be played by a mortal!
"This prince is now the royal relative of Emperor Song, named Zhao Kangshun, although he retired to the government and the opposition, but because of the identity of the prince, his status among mortals is quite high."
Zhao Kangshun......
Li Changqing silently wrote down the name in his heart, and after a while, he seemed to think of something.
"That's right, Zhang ...... Big brother, you are also in the late stage of the Qi Induction Realm, and you are also a leader in casual cultivation, why do you want to be such an unfree immortal cultivator? ”
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Xiaoyou, you don't know, my heavenly capital is stupid, when I first joined the Lin'an City Immortal Cultivation Law Enforcement Team, I was already 30 years old, but I only have the strength of the middle stage of qi induction, if there is no opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no chance to break through in this life." ”
"And after joining the Immortal Cultivation Law Enforcement Team, just the pills I knocked every day made it take me only half a year to improve to the late stage of Qi Induction! And most of the other immortal cultivators chose to join because of Song Guo's strong support for immortal cultivators. ”
Only then did Li Changqing understand why Zhang Yu was unhappy while still staying in the Immortal Cultivation Law Enforcement Team.
"Xiaoyou, although the fault is not on you this time, but after all, two people died, and someone still needs to go back to the palace to explain."
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
Then Zhang Yu looked at Li Changqing and then at Lin Xiaowen, his eyes were full of confusion.
"Just let me go."
After listening to Zhang Yu's explanation, Lin Xiaowen didn't have much hostility towards him, but she was still grieved by her mother's death, and her tone was full of coldness.
Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "If it weren't for the fact that I came to Ancheng this time because I wanted to carry out the mission of the sect, I would have gone with you." ”
"I can only bother Miss Lin for a while."
Li Changqing looked apologetic and thanked him.
"Hmm."
Lin Xiaowen just responded lightly.
Seeing this, Li Changqing didn't speak for a long time, and finally could only turn into a long sigh, and then said, "The festival mourns and changes." ”
As soon as she heard this, Lin Xiaowen's eyes turned significantly redder, and she almost cried again.
Li Changqing is gone after all, no matter what, he is just a passerby in Lin Xiaowen's life, although he also feels a little sorry for Lin Xiaowen, but he can't help her.
Not long after Li Changqing left the Water Moon Tower, he saw Qin Xian and other Qingyun Sect disciples.
"Senior Brother Li!"
What swept away the gloom in Li Changqing's heart was the smile of Qin Xian who greeted him.
Looking at the three children who returned with a full load but didn't even see a trace of the shadow of nightshade grass, Li Changqing smiled helplessly.
As if seeing the sadness in Li Changqing's heart, Lin Yuxi, who was the most delicate among the three children, opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Brother Li, I see that your face is not very good, did it happen during the time when they were separated just now?" ”
Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this eleven or twelve-year-old child to understand his mind so well, and then said with a wry smile what happened in Shuiyue Tower just now.
……
"Damn! What a bullshit prince that! It's so hateful! ”
"Miss Lin is too pitiful......"
Ma Hongxuan clenched his fists angrily, while Qin Xian sympathized with Lin Xiaowen.
Li Changqing just smiled and didn't explain anything.
"It's not easy for us to ask about mortal matters, but fortunately it's fine."
Listening to Li Changqing's words, the three children all looked at him with strange expressions.
Li Changqing just coughed twice and said in an unquestionable tone, "Let's go, let's go buy nightshade grass quickly!" ”
"Hmm."
Qin Xian and the others were tired of playing, so they came to Li Changqing, and after Li Changqing's reminder, they remembered that the main task this time was to buy nightshade grass.
The so-called nightshade grass is the main material for refining and refining the intestines, and the refining of the intestines is the latest elixir developed by Lingdanfeng, which can achieve the effect of improving the cultivation of the qi induction realm, but unfortunately it is only effective in the early stage of qi induction.
Even so, it was a great surprise for the Qingyun Sect, just the team that bought the nightshade grass sent out three teams, and Li Changqing's team was just one of them.
Nightshade grass is not considered a fairy elixir, but it is also not common, and it is also an extremely precious medicinal material among mortals, and it is expensive and extremely difficult to find.
Therefore, Li Changqing and the others searched for several streets, and only then did they find nightshade grass in a place called Wanyaotang.
"Senior brother, look! Nightshade grass! ”
Qin Xian's eyes were the brightest, and at a glance he saw the name of the nightshade grass that had been placed in the cabinet by the owner of the medicine hall.
Li Changqing also looked over in surprise, and said with the same ecstasy, "Sure enough, it's nightshade grass." ”
"Do you all want to buy nightshade?"
Seeing Li Changqing and the others excitedly approaching the nightshade grass, a slender middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks walked over with a smile.
"How do you sell a pound of nightshade grass?"
Ma Hongxuan couldn't bear it, and asked with glowing eyes.
The middle-aged man's smile widened, and he stretched out five fingers.
"Five taels of silver a pound?"
Li Changqing was taken aback, the price given by the sect was thirty taels per catty, and five taels and one catty was too cheap.
"Hehe," the middle-aged man's smile immediately froze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said happily, "The guest said and laughed, five taels and one piece." ”
"Five taels and one piece? Why don't you grab it! ”
Li Changqing almost didn't catch his breath, there are at least a few hundred catties of nightshade grass, if it is calculated like this, wouldn't a catty cost five or six hundred taels of silver?
Seeing the exaggerated expressions of Li Changqing and others, the middle-aged man's expression became more and more ugly, and he snorted coldly.
"It's always been this price in the store, love it or not!"
