Chapter 38: Quenching Pill
"It's over, it's over! It's really going to be over this time! β
After He Qing met Xu Ping, he kept muttering.
"What do you say? Why is it over again? β
"Xu Ping, don't you know? Today, the county government posted a notice that no one is allowed to flee the county seat, otherwise they will be executed if they are caught. β
"Wasn't martial law already in the city some time ago? No one is allowed to enter or leave the county! β
"It was then, but now is now, when the rebels have not captured Yongzhou City, some big families have left the county seat, and the county commander will open one eye and close one eye, but now no one will be allowed to leave the county seat."
"If you don't leave, don't leave!" Xu Ping is now used to it, and since the first day he came to the county seat, he has had an awareness of this, knowing that there is no way for them to escape.
There are also some people who can enter at will, but these people cannot be called human because they all have the word "immortal" on their heads. Even if the rebels come, they will be polite to them, dare not offend them, and there is nothing they can do about them.
And these immortals, in line with the idea of not interfering in mortal affairs, do not have any interest in mortal warfare.
Don't participate, don't block, don't meddle with any party.
"Senior Brother Xu, you came just in time, come and help, deal with these medicinal materials, and wait for the master to be useful."
As soon as Xu Ping arrived in the inner courtyard, he was pulled by Wei Tao to work as a helper, cleaning up impurities in medicinal materials, screening and slicing, etc.
"Master ready to refine diamond oil?"
Xu Ping quickly thought of this and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, the master collected a medicinal herb yesterday, and finally prepared all the medicinal materials for refining diamond oil."
"Great!" Xu Ping was very happy after hearing this, and he would have diamond oil to use in the future.
But......
How do you know the recipe and how to make it?
Xu Ping looked at the room full of Chinese medicinal materials, all of which were ordinary and could be bought on the market, refining diamond oil would never be these medicinal materials, there must be others.
It is estimated that some special medicinal materials are hidden by the museum owner, and others cannot see them, so they cannot know the secret of the formula of diamond oil.
Will you get the opportunity to guard the Dan Furnace?
Xu Ping thought about it and felt that it was difficult.
With so many people, how could it be his turn.
"Xu Ping, you come out for me!"
Just as he was dealing with the medicinal herbs, an inopportune voice sounded, Xu Ping didn't want to deal with her, but everyone present was looking at him, so he had to stand up.
Following Du Jia to a remote place, Du Jia asked, "What do you think, how much is the right amount?" β
"This ......" Xu Ping was speechless, how could he abandon his fiancΓ©e for some silver?
If outsiders know about it, they will definitely accuse him of being morally corrupt, shameless, inhumane, and unworthy of life......
It's really hard to be a human being! Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head.
"Changed your mind? How can you be like this, don't be delusional, I won't marry you, this is three thousand taels of silver, from now on we will cut it in two! β
Duggard dropped a few silver tickets and walked away in a huff.
Xu Ping sighed and put away the silver ticket, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, since Du Jia wants to pursue freedom, then give her freedom! It's just that the parents asked......
Thinking too much, he really thinks too much, how can his parents, who are immortal cultivators, care about him? He's just a mortal.
Returning to the room where the medicinal herbs were arranged, many people looked at him with a curious gaze when they saw him come back, wondering what was the matter with the daughter of the county magistrate looking for him?
Wei Tao asked, "Did you and Du Jia know each other before?" β
"I know each other, the older generation is familiar with it, but I don't know her very well, and I've only met a few times."
Familiar with the previous generation? After listening to it, everyone felt that the hidden information was so big! When they looked at Xu Ping again, their eyes were full of curiosity, envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Curiosity and envy are easy to explain, and jealousy will not be less, but someone hates him, why is that?
Xu Ping didn't understand, but he could feel it.
After processing the medicinal materials, Wei Tao quietly pulled him aside and said: "You are in trouble, I will tell you a secret thing, the fourth junior brother Su Yang likes Du Jia, the Su family is one of the four major families in Qi Nan City, and controls the supply of weapons in the county seat. During this time, Su Yang had been helping to refine weapons in the family, and he had no time to return to the martial arts hall. But if he comes back and finds out that you have a relationship with Duja, he will definitely trouble you. β
"Ah, I'm not familiar with her!"
Wei Tao didn't listen to his explanation, and continued: "Not only does the fourth junior brother like Du Jia, but there is another person you should pay attention to. β
"Who?" Xu Ping hurriedly asked.
"You can observe slowly in the future" Wei Tao left, leaving Xu Ping with another mystery, last time it was like this, and this time it was like this.
At this time, Xu Ping finally understood why someone hated him, probably treating him as a rival in love.
Is there any reason for this? His daughter-in-law is remembered by others, and she is not allowed to speak out, and if she speaks out, she will be beaten.
Seventh Senior Brother Liu En, Xu Ping remembered it for the time being.
For a whole day, Xu Ping did not leave the martial arts hall, watching Wei Tao send the sorted medicinal materials to the backyard, he wanted to help, but Wei Tao directly refused, so it was impossible for him to go to the backyard, and he lost the opportunity to guard the Dan furnace.
It would take a long time to refine the diamond oil, and Xu Ping did not continue to wait in the martial arts hall, but turned around and left.
When passing by the Xu Family Pill Workshop, Xu Ping turned directly in, wanting to see what kind of refining pills were inside.
Although Xu Ping didn't patronize him for a few months, the clerk of Xu Jia Dan Medicine still recognized him and invited him in very respectfully, for no other reason, one is that Xu Ping is a member of the Xu family, and the other is that Xu Danshi has taken special care of him.
Xu Ping asked, "Is there any elixir that you need to refine your body?" β
"Oh, it turns out that you are cultivating the Vajra Immortal Skill, and we don't have Vajra Oil here, but we have a Quenching Pill refined by immortal cultivators in our store, which is a refining pill for Wumen cultivators in ancient times, which is refined with the crystal nucleus of demon beasts, and the effect is surprisingly good for the martial arts cultivation of refining the body."
"What price?" Xu Ping was a little curious.
"Two spirit stones, one grain."
"Ahh Xu Ping was stunned after hearing this, such an expensive price, is the shopkeeper going to play him for fun?
The clerk was very satisfied when he saw Xu Ping's stunned appearance, and said with a smile: "Although the Quenching Pill is prepared for martial arts, the martial artist who refines the body can also take it, but the medicinal effect of the Quenching Pill is too violent, and the martial artist can't take it directly, he must soak it in water, otherwise he will explode and die directly, if he just drinks the water that has been soaked in the Quenching Pill, there will be no accident." β
"And one quenching pill can be soaked hundreds of times, which is much better than applying diamond oil every time you refine your body."
After hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but say angrily: "No matter how good you say, I don't have a spirit stone, it's not that I can't afford it." β
Having said that, Xu Ping was still moved by the shopkeeper, he still had a few spirit stones in his hand, anyway, it was useless in his hands, it could only be used as gold and silver, it was better to take it out and buy a quenching pill to try the effect.
