Chapter 221: Negotiation
Qin Wen was in front of him a full room, the area of the room was not small, but in front of them there was only a narrow passage to enter and exit, a tall old man was sitting almost naked by the windowsill, but there was only a strip of cloth around the lower body, the temperature in the room was lower than outside, if you don't use the vitality to resist, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as cold to the bone.
To Qin Wen and Erhu's surprise, this old man was basically thin like a skeleton, his body was almost covered with skin and bones, and his skin was so transparent that he could almost see the color of the bones inside, and the green tendons spread on his body, and his body was like a transparent human body, with almost no expression on his face, and his two eyes were extraordinarily big, but the blankness in his eyes made Qin Wen and the others not know if he could still see it.
After seeing Qin Wen, the old man recognized it slightly, and gently turned his head to Qin Wen and said, "It should be you, the little guy, who was talking outside, just now, you little monk who has just entered the realm of Xuanshi can actually see the cause of my illness, let's say, which alchemy sect are you from the Ziyun Mountain Range?"
Qin Wen shook his head and said: "Senior, my Danshu was all learned by myself, and I didn't enter the sect of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, but I can see a thing or two of my senior's injuries, if I diagnose it, maybe I can refine an elixir for my predecessor that can heal my injuries." ”
The old man's expression was not moved in the slightest, but his tone became slightly colder: "Just rely on you as a small Xuan-level Dan Master? Even if you start learning Dan Dao from your mother's womb, it is impossible to cure my illness, say, are you sent by someone else to assassinate me, just say a few words to gain my trust first, and then refine a furnace of poison pill for me." and murdered my life. ”
The temperature of the room dropped a few degrees with the old man's words, even if the second tiger was running his vitality, he also felt the cold pressing, although this old man was injured, but his momentum was not weak at all, if it wasn't for Qin Wen's side. The second tiger was almost on the verge of fleeing.
However, seeing that Qin Wen's expression still did not change at all, Erhu also secretly felt ashamed, so he calmed down first, and then tried his best to straighten his waist and make a fearless expression.
Qin Wen was not frightened by the old man's momentum, but said lightly: "If the seniors don't believe it, then forget it, we can leave now, anyway, the deal has already been done." Let's take what we need, and you can continue to refine your furnace that will delay your life for a few days at most." ”
After hearing this, the old man's eyes slowly turned, and he said coldly: "You have already come in, am I here for you to leave as soon as you say? As he spoke, he secretly increased his momentum by a few percent.
Qin Wen didn't make the slightest movement at all, and said in a flat tone: "The Danfang is mine, and it is you who need to be healed." Is this your attitude towards Dan?"
The old man's face suddenly appeared a strange pink, and then he laughed twice. Although he didn't want to laugh, it shocked Qin Wen and the two of them to be impetuous, Erhu almost squatted on the ground, Qin Wen was no better, and he tried his best to stabilize his legs, so as not to be shocked by the old man's laughter.
At this time, the old man slowly stretched out his right hand. grabbed Qin Wen's shirt like lightning, brought Qin Wen to him, and said coldly, "Do you want to say it?"
Seeing that Qin Wen was caught by the old man, Erhu's face also changed greatly, and he immediately took out the flying sword from his storage bag. Then he stepped forward and said, "Hurry up and let go of my Brother Qin, or I will fight with you." As he spoke, he was about to stab at the old man.
Qin Wen hurriedly stopped at this time: "Second Tiger, don't be reckless, I'll talk to my seniors again." ”
The old man said in a gloomy tone: "Otherwise, you can tell me the Dan Fang that makes me credible, or you two don't want to go out of my room, is there anything else to talk about?" ”
A faint smile appeared on Qin Wen's face and said: "This injury of yours should have been hundreds of years, although you can still operate your vitality now, but the pain of a fixed time every day will also make you feel that life is better than death, with your cultivation, you will definitely not just do it for more than a hundred years, and you will also find many Dan masters, they should be helpless against your injuries, you will think of learning alchemy by yourself, I guess these things are right?"
The old man didn't answer, he kept staring at Qin Wen with his eyes, Qin Wen felt that the hand that grabbed his shirt was slightly loosened, so he continued to speak: "I don't dare to say that no one in this world can heal your injuries, but I am sure that only I have this certainty now, and you are now inseparable from this cold array that you have maintained for a hundred years, presumably there will not be too many Dan masters who come here to seek medicine." ”
The old man's complexion at this time had gradually returned to a transparent state, and he said in a gloomy tone: "How do you know that I don't dare to kill you, anyway, I've been here for hundreds of years, even if I boil it again, it doesn't matter to me, killing the two of you now is as simple as killing two ants." ”
Qin Wen sighed slightly and said: "The ants are still sparing their lives, you can have such a great perseverance to sustain these hundreds of years, which shows that you still have hope for healing your injuries, but I can tell you clearly, according to the elixirs you just said, at most, it can only reduce your pain a little, and there is no help for the injury, and there will be a tendency to continue to worsen." ”
At this time, the old man let go of his hand that grabbed Qin Wen's clothes, and his tone became a little softer: "Why did you want to save me?
Qin Wen looked at the old man's tall and thin body, he could suffer under such an injury for hundreds of years, and now he is still above the spirit disciple monk, if he is healed, maybe he will reach what realm, Qin Wen thought for a while and said: "We meet today just because it is just a coincidence, I am a Dan master, I like to say a few more words about internal injuries, this time the senior sold me the pill I need, it can be regarded as fate to let you get rid of the injury." ”
"For the sake of fart, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil. The old man suddenly said loudly: "My ancient soul has never owed anyone a favor in my life, if you want to heal me, first say what you want, after I give it to you, let's clear it later, lest Lao Tzu look at you unpleasantly and want to kill you again." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "Senior Gu, since you said so, I will put forward a condition for you, if this condition does not work, we can change another one." ”
Gu Soul said a little impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't grind and chirp like a girl, although my Gu Soul is not a good person, but I always have to act like a man." ”
Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "I want to ask the ancient seniors to be the offerings of my Qin Mansion after their injuries are healed, and in the future, except for when my Qin Mansion is in crisis, you can go anywhere at will at any time, and our Qin Mansion can also take all the pills used in your cultivation, what do you think?"
The ancient soul's eyes that hadn't moved for a long time narrowed slightly, and then he looked at Qin Wen and said, "This condition sounds pretty good, but where is your Qin Mansion?"
Qin Wen nodded slightly and said: "This Qin Mansion is in the Expulsion City, my name is Qin Wen, there are only a few helpers of the Xuanshi Realm by my side, this family master is me for the time being, and I am ready to make the Qin Mansion the No. 1 Mansion in the Expulsion City in the future." ”
Gu Soul's eyes stared at Qin Wen for a long time and said: "Good boy, you have courage, I should accept your conditions, but I also have a condition, if you can't heal my injuries, I will twist off your head and put it over there as a price for not fulfilling your promise." ”
Qin Wen and Erhu looked along his fingers, only to see that in a corner of the room, there was a separate wooden table, and the table was full of human heads and skeletons, and Erhu said with some surprise: "These are the Dan masters who have treated you?"
Gu Soul said in an affirmative tone: "These are a large part, they have all given me conditions, but in the end, they have not fulfilled their promises, so they will become a member of this wooden table, the boy surnamed Qin, I hope you can become my family master in the future, instead of adding another skeleton to this wooden table." ”
Erhu was about to ask Qin Wen to refuse at this time, but before his words could be spoken, he was stopped by Qin Wen waving his hand, Qin Wen said affirmatively: "This senior can rest assured, I am ten percent sure that you can heal your injury, but the senior will also keep his promise in the future." ”
At this time, the ancient soul said angrily: "Boy, you have flattened me, Lao Tzu has always said one and two is two since he was a child, and he has never repented, isn't it just an offering? ”
Listening to the words of the ancient soul, Qin Wen nodded, and then asked, "When was the senior injured, who was injured, and where, I need to know these things." ”
The ancient soul also knew that these problems would be helpful for healing in the future, so he didn't hesitate to speak: "I was injured five hundred years ago, it was an autumn, I and three friends were in an ancient city in Moxi to divide a nest of mountain bandits' spiritual objects, at that time my cultivation was the highest level of spiritual scholars, and the three of them were all spiritual disciples. ”
"This thing was finally given to me, and the three of them were a little dissatisfied, and when I was drinking at night, I put a magic ice powder in my wine bag, and at that time I didn't have such a deep understanding of potions, and after they were on their way, they forced the medicine to kill two of them, and the last one fled in a hurry, but I was also seriously injured, so I fell into such a disease.
