"Is there no other way than Immortal City?"
Ning Ke asked.
Xu Yuan pondered for a while before he said, "Hmm...... I do know a place that is quite good, but the success rate of alchemy will be much lower, and it cannot be guaranteed. ”
"Oh...... I understand! ”
Having said this, Ning Ke suddenly understood, and stared at Xu Yuan with beautiful eyes, "If you dare to say so much, it is all a foreshadowing that the probability of your alchemy failure is very high, let me be mentally prepared, right?" So to make a good excuse for your next alchemy failure, so I don't blame you? ”
Being seen through by Ning Ke, Xu Yuan was not embarrassed, "No, it's just that the probability of alchemy failure is really high, it's not that I can't do it, it's just that I haven't found the right place, so the medicinal materials consumed, you must not count it on my head." ”
"Moreover, we can't afford to buy a Dan furnace, and the difficulty of alchemy will increase, you should understand, right?"
Although Ning Ke doesn't understand alchemy, this point is undeniable.
The Dan furnace is too expensive, more expensive than some magic weapons.
Even if she spent her little coffer, she couldn't afford it.
"I didn't expect the alchemy journey to be so difficult, no wonder there has almost never been an alchemist in the casual cultivation......
Ning Ke couldn't help but think in his heart, very lost.
She also thought that if she obtained alchemy, she would change, and the immortal road in the future would be more open.
There are profits from the sale of pills, and it is even expected to build a foundation.
But now it seems that it is just his own pipe dream.
Seeing Ning Ke's lost appearance, Xu Yuan was a little touched, as if he saw his previous self, restrained his expression, and said: "Don't be frustrated, it's just that the probability of failure is lower, and it doesn't mean that it will definitely fail, I will do my best, I can't let Ning Xianzi waste money in vain, right?" ”
Ning Ke raised his head and met Xu Yuan's gaze, "Then how sure are you?" ”
Xu Yuan thought for a while, "Forty percent? ”
"Sancheng?"
"It's not certain, this thing, practice makes perfect, the more you practice, the more experience, the success rate will be greater."
"But how can I have so many spirit stones......" Ning Ke's face was slightly bitter.
Xu Yuan was speechless, this woman was too pessimistic.
Typical sentimentality.
But thinking about it, being at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, there are many things to see, and it is difficult to be optimistic.
At the beginning, as a traverser, how high-spirited he was, but in the end, the edges and corners were smoothed out by reality......
It's not easy.
After thinking about it, Xu Yuan asked, "Then do you want to continue?" ”
Xu Yuan was also unsure of the probability of his alchemy success.
But he felt that the probability of failure was on the high side.
It is even possible that if all the current medicinal materials are consumed, it may not be able to be successfully refined.
After all, his alchemy conditions were very poor, and he was still just getting started.
Failure means losing all your money.
Here in Xu Yuan, he still has a way out, and success or failure is actually acceptable.
It's a big deal to go back to the world, continue to live with your wife and concubine, and slowly improve your cultivation.
Although it will take a little longer, there is hope.
As for Ning Ke, once he fails, the immortal road may be cut off.
Despite this, Xu Yuan may be able to take advantage of the situation, and there is a high probability that he will be able to accept Ning Ke.
But Xu Yuan didn't want to do that.
I didn't get along with Ning Ke for a long time, but Xu Yuan felt that Ning Ke was pretty good.
Xu Yuan didn't want to see her cornered and forced to make a helpless choice.
When a person loses hope, it is like losing a soul.
Without a soul, what is the difference between being the walking dead?
That kind of Ning Ke is not the Ning Ke in his heart.
"Do you want to continue?"
Ning Ke was silent and did not speak.
She's thinking, too.
It's about her future, and she needs to think about it.
However, Xu Yuan was able to put the choice in her hands, which surprised her.
She was sure that if she were someone else, she was afraid that she would desperately persuade her to give her a chance.
But Xu Yuan didn't, giving her enough way out.
Gently brushing his hair and hanging it behind his ears, Ning Ke looked up at Xu Yuan and showed a smile, "Let me think about it first, are you hungry?" I'm going to do something first, after all, you've come from afar, and you're a guest. ”
Ordinary monks rarely practice the art of bigu, but they still have to eat, restore physical strength, and of course, more importantly, satisfy their appetite.
"Then it's troublesome."
Xu Yuan nodded.
"You sit down first, and I'll come when I go."
After speaking, Ning Ke turned around and walked into the kitchen on the side.
Looking at Ning Ke's departing back, Xu Yuan was a little confused.
Not to mention that this Ning Ke is beautiful, he is quite virtuous.
If you marry a wife, it's not bad.
The key is to know how to save money.
But Xu Yuan also knows that everything should not be rushed, and excellent hunters often appear in the form of prey.
Once your intentions are exposed, it's too easy to be cpued.
didn't wait long, Ning Ke went and returned, holding two bowls of steaming dishes in his hands.
"Sit down!"
Ning Ke put the dish on the table and beckoned.
A pot of rice, a few plates of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of nori soup.
Seeing these dishes, Xu Yuan was surprised.
A dignified immortal cultivator actually eats these?
How much of a slam is this?
Ning Ke explained: "Don't mind, I think sooner or later I will cultivate the art of opening the valley, so it is relatively light. ”
"And cultivation, it's not good to eat too much greasy omnivorous."
"Oh...... I thought you wouldn't want to eat it. ”
Xu Yuan nodded.
"Think I'm slamming the door?"
Ning Ke's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xu Yuan.
"No ......"
"That's right, I'm really reluctant, after all, a woman's family doesn't have any support in the world of cultivating immortals, what should I do after I spend a lot of money?"
"You are also a casual cultivator, you know that casual cultivation is not easy, if you want to break through, you can only save a little bit, otherwise this life will be like this, it will be difficult to make a profit."
"For example, you're a big man, and you don't even have a spirit stone on your body, what if something happens......"
Ning Ke talked about the matter of "slamming the door", and he couldn't stop.
Seeing that the topic was introduced to him, Xu Yuan was a little speechless.
This woman, is it intentional, or is her EQ too low?
Or is it an expression of dissatisfaction with oneself?
Ning Ke was unaware, "By the way, how old are you this year?" ”
Xu Yuan coughed lightly, "Cough, it's fifty years old......"
"By the way, it's all fifty, I don't have a single spirit stone, let's go out to buy things together, and I want to dig out the spirit stone, I don't know if you have noticed, today in the Fang Market, the eyes of those people?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, they're just afraid that they think you're my person, you just eat soft rice."
Ning Ke did not shy away from saying.
"I don't care what people say about me." Xu Yuan finally interjected.
Ning Ke pouted while eating, "I care, I'm also a woman, but I'm still an innocent girl." ”
"Hey, what do you mean, what's this expression? Am I not a girl? Am I old? ”
"No ......"
"It's better to be like this, and then say, I'm going to get married in the future, reputation is very important, and I'm too lazy to care, otherwise ......"
