Chapter 16: The Afterhand

The sky had already darkened, the lights in the main hall were brilliant, and the matter of refining Yan Dan had been discussed, and everyone was also immersed in the excitement of Ding Yan Dan's huge profits.

Especially Han Duan, he thought in his heart that if according to what Qian San said, if there was a Dingyan Pill every day, the twenty high-grade spirit stones would fall into his hands, and there would be eight pieces, a number that he couldn't think of before.

At the beginning, he sold a few Dingyan pills to female monks, but they were only slightly higher than the Xuan-level medium-grade pills on the market, and the six pills had not yet been sold to a high-grade spirit stone, and they also attracted the covetousness of other monks, and they were finally deceived to the Du family manor.

He couldn't help but think that after he got the spirit stone, he would be able to buy more elixirs for him to refine the elixir, plus the relationship with Qin Wen was getting closer and closer during this time, basically he had any questions to ask Qin Wen, and Qin Wen was always answered, which also made him full of confidence in his future cultivation.

Qin Wen saw that Lao Gao's face was slightly tired at this time, so he got up and said to Xiang Hao: "It's not early, let's negotiate things, let's go back first, if the money manager is ready, just go to my courtyard to find Han Duan at any time." ”

Xiang Hao nodded and said: "That's good, but everything in the past few days is mainly based on the competition on the Double Tiger Stage, and after the Jiao family's affairs are over, let's specifically operate the matter of Dingyan Dan." ”

At this time, Qin Wen also told Lao Gao a few words to take the pill on time, and then walked out of Lao Gao's courtyard.

Looking at Qin Wen's departing back, Xiang Hao then remembered what Lao Gao had just stopped him from persuading Qin Wen, so he asked in a low voice: "Lao Gao, although this Qin Feng is extremely talented in alchemy, after all, he is still a Xuantu middle-level monk, which is too dangerous to compete with a Xuanshi stage monk on the Shuanghu Platform." ”

Lao Gao also understood that Xiang Hao was asking himself about his attitude on the matter of Qin Wen just now, so he thought about it a little and said: "This Qin is also a newcomer to the capital, if the young master takes the lead for him in this matter, he will inevitably be ridiculed in the future, I see that he himself understands this truth just now, I think no matter how the young master persuades him, it is estimated that he has already made up his mind to go to the meeting." ”

"Another point, I see that Qin Xianfeng's expression is confident, and he must not have no chance of winning in his heart, so I asked the young master not to persuade him. ”

Xiang Hao frowned at this time and said: "What is reputation? This is a matter of life and death, and besides, the government has invited him to make a relatively good offering over the years, in case there are three long and two short, it is estimated that half of the matter of Dingyan Dan discussed today will be in the soup." ”

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "I have also thought about this and prepared, we still have Long Xiangwei's token in our hands, and on the day of the competition, the young master will invite Master Zeng again, and in case of emergency, the competition can be terminated at any time in the name of Long Xiangwei." ”

Xiang Hao was a little hesitant, he muttered in a low voice: "This is the hole card that my father left me Zuihou, I only used it once when I got the medicine for you in Luming City, and it is far away from the capital, and it will not be noticed, but once Lord Zeng shows up in Shuanghutai, that Xiang Kuang will definitely know the relationship between us at the first time." ”

Lao Gao groaned for a while and said: "The relationship between Lord Zeng and us, Xiang Kuang will know sooner or later, Qin worship is the hope of the young master to build a mansion in the future, if the young master suppresses the matter of Shuanghutai this time, then he may not be able to stay in the capital if he loses face, if he is allowed to compete, in case he misses, this loss will be too great." ”

"I think it's safer to invite Lord Zeng to go, and besides, with the token of Long Xiangwei, when Lord Zeng is not a last resort, he can let his subordinates come forward. ”

Qian San also spoke at this time: "Yes, young master, I think what the senior executives said is also reasonable, although this Qin worship has not been in the mansion for a few days, but the monk surnamed Ao next to him also has the cultivation of the Xuanshi period, this time Han Danshi can refine the Yan Dan, and it will be the help of the mansion in the future, this time we also want Qin to see the attitude of the mansion, don't let him chill the mansion." ”

Lao Gao thought for a while and said: "Speaking of the matter of Dingyan Dan, if Han Duan can really refine this elixir, then we can have the income of twelve high-grade spirit stones every day, which is three hundred and sixty yuan a month, and in addition to all the expenses, even if it is sixty yuan, we can still get three hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”

"With these spirit stones, the young master will be much more generous in the hands of the capital in the future, and the powerful and the father-in-law in the palace will need spirit stones to have a good relationship, and the young master can also prepare for the selection. ”

Xiang Hao thought for a while with a solemn face, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, tomorrow Qian San will ask Master Zeng out for me, and we will meet at the orchid restaurant next to Shuanghu Terrace, and then book a private room on the second floor near Shuanghu Terrace, which is ready for us to watch the battle in the private room five days later." ”

Qian San nodded and agreed, the two things had been decided, and Xiang Hao also left Lao Gao's courtyard with Qian San.

At this time, Qin Wen and the four of them also returned to Longyun Pavilion, and after entering the attic, they saw that Shuang'er was still familiar with the method of preparing elixir, and the four of them sat down in the main hall, Han Duan said with some worry at this time: "Teacher, I was in the courtyard of the senior executive just now, and it is not convenient for me to say that it is indeed a bit risky for you to go to the Shuanghu Platform this time." ”

"We are new to the capital, and we don't know what kind of cultivation this Jiao Peng is, in case there is a mistake, it will be troublesome, it is better for me to replace the teacher, there are also places for this kind of monk competition in other big cities, and it is also within the regulations to be replaced by worship or apprentices. ”

Qin Wen shook his head and said: "You are a Dan Master, there is still a difference between you and a monk in terms of force, my cultivation has the skill of physical cultivation, and it is not a problem to deal with a monk who is lower than a Xuan Scholar, besides, it is precisely because we have just arrived in the capital that I have to play in person." ”

"As long as I win this time, the Jiao family will not pull down their faces and ask a high-level monk to deal with me again, even if he asks a high-level monk to make a battle post, it is reasonable for me to refuse, and once you or Ao Yu fight, they will lose, and they will continue to entangle. ”

Hearing Qin Wen's explanation, Han Duan and Ao Yu at the table were silent, they also knew the truth of what Qin Wen said, and they also understood that they could no longer convince Qin Wen.

Qin Wen also thought of Han Duan's refining of the Yan Pill at this time, so he spoke: "Han Duan, I will not stop you from refining the pill for the Duan Wangfu this time, first, you can also exercise your control over the refining of the pill, and second, you can also earn a part of the spirit stone." ”

"However, you must also know that refining this elixir is only an expedient measure, you still have to put your mind more on cultivation, I see that when you are refining the pill in the manor, the rules are much stricter, don't relax in the future, if you don't understand something, you can always ask me." ”

Seeing Han Duan's respectful nodding in agreement, Qin Wen thought for a moment and said, "Although this Dingyan Pill has not yet started refining, it may occupy a lot of your cultivation time in the future, you have to think about this problem, you can find a reliable person alone to help you refine the pill." ”

Han Duan hesitated for a moment and said: "This reliable person is a little difficult to find, even if he accepts apprentices, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be betrayed for profit in the future, and if there are really so many spirit stones as Qian Guan said, I am afraid that the Danfang and refining methods will leak out in the future." ”

Qin Wen looked at Han Duan at this time, shook his head and said, "Now your vision and pattern are still too small, this is also the shackles of your Dan Dao cultivation, what is the Dingyan Dan in your heart?"

"Although it may temporarily bring you valuable spirit stones, these spirit stones can indeed help you cultivate, but in the final analysis, it is just a Xuan-level mid-grade elixir, you have now touched the refining threshold of the Xuan-level high-grade elixir, and you have not been able to really let go of the medium-grade elixir in your heart. ”

"In the future, how will you refine the Xuan-level high-grade elixir? There are also spirit levels, and there are higher-level elixirs, if you can't let go of it in your heart, keep your vision long-term, and only stare at the present, then you will always only be a slave of the elixir, not that you come to refine the elixir, but gradually lose your cultivation heart in the elixir. ”

After listening to this Qin Wen's question, Han Duan seemed to be moving forward in the fog, when he was suddenly pulled behind him, and when he looked back, he realized that he had taken the wrong path, recalling his goal when he first entered the monk's threshold, he couldn't help but feel a burst of shame in his heart, so he got up and bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Lu Mo had been listening to what Qin Wen said at this time, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Wen a few more times, these words definitely didn't seem to come from the mouth of a young man in the Xuan disciple stage, it should be said by a high-level monk who had this kind of experience, could it be that he, like himself, had also practiced some kind of reciprocating skill, and returned from a high-level monk to a low-level Xuantu stage?

Just when he was thinking nonsense in his heart, Ao Yu, who usually didn't talk much, spoke: "Brother Qin, Han Duan, I have a good candidate who can ask him to help refine the Yan Pill, but I don't know if he has ever refined the pill." ”

Qin Wen was stunned, and for a while he didn't remember that Ao Yu knew other Dan masters, so he asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Ao Yu pointed at Lu Mo at this time and said, "I think it is better to let Han Duan accept disciples to help him refine the pill now, it is better to let Lu Mo try it, although it may be worse when he first started refining, but it is better than a person who has just cultivated." ”

When Han Duan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lu Mo, Lu Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he originally wanted to take advantage of Qin Wen's cultivation in the capital to improve his cultivation, if he could break through the spirit level, he would be able to get rid of the poison of ink in his body.

He hesitated for a moment, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "This, this, I have never refined a Xuan-level mid-grade pill before. ”

Han Duan also smiled at him and said, "That's no problem, I can teach you slowly." ”
