Chapter 5: The Purple Pupa

After the dark and thin middle-aged man walked into the room, he heard the sound of the courtyard door closing outside, so he turned around and walked into the inner room.

The interior was dim, all the windows were completely blocked by black paper, the middle-aged man surnamed Ruan carefully groped for a dark compartment under the table, and after pressing the spring buckle, the flat table top gradually collapsed to both sides, and another black table top rose up inside.

There are more than a dozen small jade lamps on the table, each lamp is covered with a crystal clear chalcedony lampshade, emitting a faint variety of light, the middle-aged man picked up a lamp that emits purple light, played carefully for a while, and then slowly entered the vitality of the dantian into the lamp.

The hazy light in the purple lamp gradually brightened, and the purple light faintly shone brightly, illuminating the entire desktop clearly, and a fleshy white worm also appeared in the lampshade, squirming in the purple light.

The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief, gradually withdrew his vitality, put down the lamp and said to himself: "Can you get up again?" Could it be that it is time for the purple chrysalis to hibernate, no, in the past, the purple chrysalis only hibernate for ten years, and it has only been three years, why did he suddenly have a repetition?"

The middle-aged man pressed the spring buckle in the dark grid again, and the desktop with the lamp slowly sank inside, and the flat table was restored in front of him, and the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Medicine Valley? ”

"Qin Luan, this stupid man, if that Qinglong Holy Furnace was as easy to take as he said, I would have taken it out a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that there was a drop of blood from the Qin family's children in the Qin family's ancestral hall, and there were five old immortals, I would have taken Qin Wen away a long time ago, and then used the Three Holy Bloodthirsty Dafa every day, and after a year, I would be able to cut off the bloodline spiritual root connected to him and the Qinglong Holy Furnace. ”

"If I get the Qinglong Holy Furnace, I can go back to the altar directly, and at least it is a protector in front of the temple, and at that time, I will be good at rectifying Yuanlu's slut, because I was drunk and said a few more words, and I was punished to this place without the slightest foundation to preach, but I also want to xiexie her, if it weren't for her, how could I touch the holy weapon left in the sect." The middle-aged man thought with a hideous face.

Suddenly, his complexion changed again, "It's better to go and investigate at night." As soon as this idea came to mind, he was immediately vetoed, and said with hatred in his mouth: "There is also an old dog named Qin Lu by Qin Wen's side, although he is a Xuantu lower level, but the six senses are very sensitive, the last time he put a purple chrysalis in his body, he was almost discovered by the old dog, so let's wait, anyway, there is nothing abnormal about the purple chrysalis, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man relaxed and reclined on the back of the chair behind him, his eyes exuding a cold light.

After lunch, Qin Wen sat at the desk in a daze, now he has forced the Gu worm into the dantian, there will be no problem in a short time, today he went to the medicine valley and improved a prescription, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with the alchemy offering for the family, the next thing he has to do is to buy some medicinal materials and come back, first let the Gu worm enter a dormant state, so that even the person who manipulates the Gu worm will not find anything abnormal.

Then he asked the old man of the Medicine Valley to help him refine a simplified marrow cleansing pill, and after taking the pill, he could absorb the absorbed essence from the Gu worm's body, and then let his dantian and meridians recover as quickly as possible, and try to improve his realm, so that he could have the ability to protect himself after the Gu worm died.

However, Qin Wen didn't have a clue who had the Gu worm in his body now, but what he knew was that as long as he didn't leave the Qin Manor before the Gu worm died, this person should not come to deal with him with great fanfare, and he also had a rough idea of how to deal with the Gu worm.

Thinking of this, he got up and called Qin Lu and asked, "Where do you usually buy medicine?"

Qin Lu knew that since Qin Wen was awake last time, he was very concerned about the matter of elixir, so he replied in detail: "There are several pharmacies in the bazaar in the south courtyard of our manor, all of which are opened by people in the clan, and the price is one percent lower than that outside, and there is a market in Yinxia Mountain fifty miles away from our manor, there are more pharmacies there, and there are some retail investors who often go up the mountain, and the medicines are similar to ours here, if you buy fresh ones, you have to go to the market under Yinxia Mountain." ”

In Qin Wen's memory, the Qin family controlled a radius of several hundred miles outside this manor, so he asked, "Isn't that Yinxia Mountain within the scope of our Qin family?

Qin Lu explained: "The market under the mountain existed many years ago, and now it is managed by our Qin family, but there are more merchants coming and going there, and it is inconvenient for them to come to the manor, young master, you forgot, when you were young, I often took you there to play." ”

Qin Wen thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Then you can accompany me to the pharmacy in the South Courtyard to have a look, I want to buy some medicinal herbs and come back." ”

Qin Lu agreed, returned to the room with the silver, and followed Qin Wen out of the courtyard gate.

There are not many people in the market in the south courtyard, and the people who come and go are basically the clansmen of the Qin family, Qin Wen walked into a pharmacy at will, and the shopkeeper saw Qin Lu behind him, so he hurriedly greeted: "Master Lu, you are here, are you looking for Mr. Wang who is sitting in the hall today? Or do you want to grab medicine according to the old prescription?"

Qin Lu pointed at Qin Wen and said, "This is my young master, I will accompany him out today to have a look." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Qin Wen in amazement, and then said with some hesitation: "This is Young Master Wen, I went to see you with Mr. Wang two months ago, and my complexion is much better." ”

Qin Wen listened to the shopkeeper's exquisite words, and said with a slight smile: "I'll buy some medicine today, by the way, do you sell pills here?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly pointed to the backyard and said: "Why don't you sell it, it's all in the backyard, it is personally refined by the left worship of the Medicine Valley, and they are all pills of the innate realm, which are suitable for you, young master." ”

"What about the Xuan-level ones?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young Master Wen, you are laughing again, the Xuan-level pills are all stored in our Qin family's Dan room, and no one sells them on this street." ”

Qin Wen also smiled, reached out and took out a brush in front of the counter of Kurogi, dipped it in ink, wrote on a thin piece of paper the several medicinal materials needed, and asked, "Do you have any of these here?"

The shopkeeper took the fine paper, looked at it carefully, and said, "Yes, young master, how much do you want?"

"Three taels of each," as soon as he said this, Qin Wen suddenly thought of something about the cultivation of the exercises, if he cultivated the Nine Turns of the Flame Yang Technique in the future, he also had certain requirements for the body, and he also had some prescriptions to enhance physical cultivation, so he immediately picked up the pen and added a few flavors to the back: "These are also available." ”

The medicines written by Qin Wen are all basic drugs seen in the book, and ordinary pharmacies should always have them, and after reading them, the shopkeeper pointed to a medicinal herb with some embarrassment and said: "Except for this red frost silk, there are others." ”

Qin Wen took a look at it, this Red Frost Silk was the medicinal material that he would use to deal with the Gu people in the future, so he asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know where this medicinal material is?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said: "This kind of medicinal material is refining Xuan-level intermediate medicinal materials, even if it is estimated that there is no market in Yinxia Mountain, in our vicinity, Luming City must have it, and there is also the private collection of the Danfang of each family." Do you want any more?"

Qin Wen thought about it, since there is no one here, he can only find a way in the future, but other medicinal materials are still needed, and his body will cultivate in the future to reach the realm of innate perfection, and it is indispensable to use these medicinal materials, so he said casually: "The medicinal materials added in the back are half a catty each, and they will not be enough in the future, so I will buy them." ”

After the shopkeeper handed the prescription to the guy below, he carefully calculated it twice on the abacus and said, "Young Master Wen, it's a total of fifty taels of silver, and I'll ask the guy to wrap it for you." ”

Qin Wen looked at Qin Lu, Qin Lu took out a folded silver ticket from his waist with some trembling and said, "This is fifty taels." ”

Qin Lu carried the medicinal materials in the pharmacy shopkeeper's courteous greeting, Qin Wen and the others left the pharmacy, and after walking through the two shops, Qin Lu said to Qin Wen with some embarrassment: "Young master, the fifty taels just now are a little silver taels for us, and we can't borrow any more money in the account, I can still think of some ways to eat, but I may not be able to buy medicine again." ”

Qin Wen also knew that in the three years since he got sick, Qin Lu had basically maintained it carefully, and now he should really be at the end of his rope, but he is no longer the original Qin Wen, he has never been worried about these in his previous life, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will find a way." ”

After returning to his courtyard, Qin Wen asked Qin Lu to fry the medicine that made Gu worms dormant, and then found a large wooden barrel for bathing, brushed the wooden barrel clean by himself, and put it in the courtyard to dry.

Then he went into the house and mixed the medicinal materials used in physical cultivation, while thinking about how to earn some silver taels to subsidize the family, now he has no trace of vitality, alchemy can not be counted on, if he sells the pill prescription, first, others will not trust him, and secondly, it may attract the attention of people with a heart, which should be fatal to Qin Wen, who has not yet the ability to protect himself.

However, he still has the path of Medicine Valley, as long as the old man can refine the Xuan-level low-grade Guyuan Dan after nine days, it must not be a problem for him to get some silver taels from him.

After thinking about this, Qin Wen didn't take this matter to heart, and concentrated on mixing medicinal materials.

Nine days passed in a flash, Qin Wen drank the decoction of medicinal soup every day, and the Gu worms in the dantian gradually became less active, basically entering a dormant period, every day Qin Wen also tried to cultivate for a week, and some vitality was also stored in the dantian, but it was only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Just after breakfast, Qin Wen calculated that it was time to leave the pill, and was just about to go to the medicine valley to have a look, when he heard a crisp voice outside the door: "Old man, may I ask if Young Master Qin Wen lives here?"

Qin Wen heard Qin Lu's incoherent voice and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my young master Wen is inside, I'll take you in." ”

While speaking, Qin Lu led the boy named Xiaoxi into the room with a flushed face with excitement, and when he saw Qin Wen, Xiaoxi said with a restrained face: "Young Master Wen, the pill has just been baked, and my master invites you to go to the Medicine Valley." ”

Qin Wen looked at Xiaoxi's demeanor and knew that this time he must have succeeded in refining the pill, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, I also have something to find your master." ”
