Chapter 01: Lingbao Pavilion

Lingbao Pavilion, located in the north of Jiyang City, is a bit remote, surrounded by the manor houses of some wealthy merchants. When it was first built, it was built for the tranquility of this place. There is no shouting of small traders on the side of the attic, and there is no smell of all kinds of dirt, anyway, as long as the plaque carved with the words "Lingbao Pavilion" is hung out, no matter how remote it is, the spiritual masters will flock to it.

As a business with a great reputation in the Dacheng Empire and even in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, the elixir was its foundation. Finished elixirs of various grades, a large number of herbs of all kinds, as long as they can be named in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, most of them can be found in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

Elixir and herb, relatively speaking, elixir is the top priority of the Lingbao Pavilion. A business like the Lingbao Pavilion sells hundreds of elixirs every day, and it is obviously not possible to buy them from other elixir masters, so since the establishment of the Lingbao Pavilion, it has raised a large number of elixir masters.

Mo Xingtu is one of them. His strength is not too strong, he is in his forties and only has the cultivation of the four grades of the spirit transformation, but his talent in refining medicine is very good, and he is also ranked number one in the entire Spirit Treasure Pavilion, so he will be sent to sit in the Jiyang City branch.

For the elixir master of the Spirit Transformation Realm, being able to refine the four-grade elixir was already the limit. But Mo Xingtu surpassed his limits, two years ago, he had successfully refined two five-grade elixir "Golden Jade Gourd", each of which could make the spirit master improve his cultivation by one grade.

This incident caused a sensation in the Lingbao Pavilion at that time, and Mo Xingtu has always been proud of it. However, at this moment, this fourth-grade elixir master seemed very irritable.

"Failed again!"

In the alchemy room on the fourth floor of the Lingbao Pavilion, which was full of bottles and jars, Mo Xingtu's two eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like two small red spider webs. Cursing angrily, Mo Xingtu slapped the scorching medicine tripod in front of him into two with a single palm.

In the past two years, Mo Xingtu has always wanted to reproduce the glory of refining the "Golden Jade Gourd", preparing to refine another five-grade elixir "Fire Lotus Heart Flame Pill", but he has suffered failure again and again.

Last night, he felt that he had found the trick of refining the "Fire Lotus Heart Flame Pill", so he opened the Ding Refining Pill again. The first time, the fusion of medicinal power reached fifty percent and eight, but unfortunately it fell short at the last moment, and the beloved medicine tripod that had followed him for nearly ten years was damaged.

The fusion degree of fifty percent of the medicinal power made Mo Xingtu see the hope of success, and continued to refine with the spare medicine tripod. As a result, after eight consecutive failures overnight, the fusion degree of medicinal power was declining each time, and just this time it was even reduced to thirty percent, which made Mo Xingtu angry.

The eight medicinal herbs worth millions of gold coins were all turned into slag, which was nothing to the wealthy Lingbao Pavilion, as long as he refined a five-grade elixir, he could earn them all back, but the continuous decline in the fusion of medicinal power was a great blow to his confidence.

His eyes swept over the medicine pod that exploded when he tried it for the first time last night, and Mo Xingtu's heart twitched, it seemed that he couldn't refine medicine anymore in the near future. As a fourth-grade elixir master, Mo Xingtu knew very well that being impetuous, being impetuous, was a taboo when refining medicine, and he should have stopped when he failed for the second time last night.

"Hoo ......"

Mo Xingtu let out a long sullen breath, flicked his sleeves, rolled all the medicine pods and medicine residues on the table into the big trash can next to him, and then walked out of the room.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Lingbao Pavilion, first floor.

"What do you need?" After the counter, looking at the young man with a yellow and thin face, dressed in black, and with a shabby appearance, the beautiful maid of sixteen or seventeen years old said with a smile like a flower.

"I'm here to sell medicine. The man's voice was hoarse.

"Oh, what kind of medicine is it?" The beautiful maid's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, the Lingbao Pavilion both sold and received medicine, as long as the elixir was authentic, whether it was refined by herself or robbed, those who came would not refuse.

"Rejuvenating dew. ”

As he spoke, the man in black took out a small jade bottle from his arms.

It's just a good elixir! The beautiful maid was a little disappointed in her heart, but her face was still smiling, she took the jade bottle, pulled out the cork and sniffed it gently, and a slight surprise flashed in her eyes: "The fusion degree of medicinal power has actually reached ninety percent, which is very good, sixteen thousand gold coins, do you think it?"

"Good!"

The man in black nodded cheerfully.

The maid corked the bottle and said with a sweet smile: "Do you want gold coins or spirit cards?" Spirit cards, a kind of utensils made by spirit pattern masters, can be used to store gold coins, after it came out two thousand years ago, it quickly replaced the gold tickets commonly used in the mainland at that time, and has been used until now.

"Lingka. ”

"Guest, please wait. ”

The maid took out two small golden cards three fingers wide from the drawer, inserted them into the groove of the oval sphere on the counter in turn, and then quickly swiped her fingers in the lines in front of the first card, and after a while, the lines in front of the second card condensed into a number symbol of 16,000.

"Guest, please take it. The maid smiled and handed over the spirit card with both hands.

"Well, farewell. ”

"Guest, go slowly!"

The man in black picked up the spirit card and walked outside the store without delay.

"Sister Xiaoling, be happy, my sister has come to see you again. A crisp laugh like a yellow warbler came, and a tall and beautiful red figure appeared at the door of the Lingbao Pavilion, but it was a ten-year-old girl, and when she spoke, she had already run in in a hurry.

The man in black and the girl in red staggered past, and there was a subtle surprise in their eyes when they looked at the girl. The girl continued to run forward a few steps, and suddenly looked back at the back of the man in black, and her pretty and white round face was filled with doubt.

Seeing the girl in red, the maid shook her head helplessly: "Hong Aya, how many times have I said it, I am my sister, and you are my sister." ”

Hong Aya came back to her senses and ran to the counter with a smile: "Hehe, who told you to have a baby face." By the way, Sister Xiaoling, what was that person doing just now?"

"Sell medicines. ”

Xiao Ling snorted angrily, and suddenly shouted, "Master." ”

"Don't call someone else's master, call me sister. Red Aya raised her hand and pinched Xiao Ling's tender face.

"Uh-huh. ”

A cough came from behind him. Hong Aya let out an "oops", spit out her red and tender little tongue, turned to the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Uncle Mo, why did you come down? By the way, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to refine that kind of 'Fire Lotus Heart Flame Pill'? How many have you refined?"

"Don't mention it, it's all a failure. ”

The middle-aged man was Mo Xingtu, he shook his head dejectedly, turned to see the small jade bottle on the counter, and said, "Xiao Ling, what is this?"

"Master, this is the 'rejuvenation dew' that has just been harvested, and the fusion degree has reached ninety, I gave him 16,000 gold coins, and if you sell it, you can earn about 2,000. ”

"Ninety percent?"

Mo Xing Tuqi said, when he was refining the rejuvenation dew, the fusion degree of medicinal power was only between eighty percent and fifty to ninety, and he couldn't help but take the jade bottle over and take the cork off at the moment.

"This is ninety percent, it is clearly ...... Ten percent!" As soon as he heard it, Mo Xingtu's complexion changed greatly, and he tried his best to suppress his voice and shouted.

"Ten percent?"

Xiao Ling and Hong Aya were also stupid, looking at the little jade bottle with blank eyes.

Ten percent medicinal power fusion has always only existed in legends, but now it has really appeared in front of him, even if it is only the lowest grade of the elixir, it is enough to shock.

Mo Xingtu glanced left and right at the customers on the first floor, lowered his voice and asked urgently, "Did he refine it himself?"

"I ...... I didn't ask......"

"Oh, you girl is really, how can you not ask? Tell me, tell me, what is he like, where is he?"

"The man was in his twenties, his face was very thin, his skin was sallow, his voice was hoarse, he had a local accent in Jiyang City, he was dressed in black, and he was about half a head taller than Hongyan. ”

"Uncle Mo, he went out and turned right. ”

“......”

With a whoosh, Mo Xingtu rushed out with the jade bottle and roared, leaving only Xiao Ling and Hongya, who looked at each other, and a few customers who looked at each other in astonishment......

......
