Chapter 15: Spirit Stones
Zheng Qingsong didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he sat until the dawn of the day.
"Zheng boy, what are you doing? scared me to death. Zheng Qingsong has not slept since he woke up, and has been looking down to think about last night's dream, when he heard the voice of Qianjiaozi and looked up, it turned out that Qianjiaozi and Wang Peng were waking up and getting dressed, and looked at the sky outside that had turned white, indicating that their day's work was about to start today.
"I said, Zheng boy, you didn't make any movement when you got up early in the morning, leaning against the wall and not talking, are you trying to scare my old man to death?"
"Oh, it's okay, I just woke up, and when I saw that you weren't awake, I thought about not waking you up, I was very tired from this workday, and I slept a little longer, so I leaned against the wall for a while. Zheng Qingsong replied indifferently.
At this time, Wang Peng's clothes were already dressed, and when he heard Zheng Qingsong's words, he said: "Lao Zheng, don't say that yesterday's wine is really good wine, after drinking and sleeping this night, my current energy is called abundant, and I will get two pots back tonight!"
Zheng Qingsong replied casually: "Okay." The men walked out of the room, each taking the tools of his work and walking towards the place where he worked.
"Is this a dream or is it true?" Zheng Qingsong was still thinking about it when he arrived at the place of work.
picked up the bamboo basket and put it on his back, "Oops!" There was a sore pain in his back, and Zheng Qingsong, who was in pain, grinned, "This must not be a dream, otherwise why do you have pain all over your body, it must be the self that Xu Fu beat last night." But I'm dreaming, even if I am beaten, I will be beaten consciously, how can my body seem to have been beaten?" Zheng Qingsong couldn't figure it out.
Zheng Qingsong, who was carrying two large bamboo baskets of medicine residues, had just arrived at the entrance of the town when he saw Liu Laosan waiting for him at the entrance of the town, "You are waiting for me here, do you have something?"
"Senior brother, can you make up a basket of medicinal residues today? Steward Han of the Wantong Medicinal Hall of Qi Kingdom came over, he heard that we can get the medicinal residues of the spirit grass, so he rushed over overnight, and he just arrived in the morning, he wants to take away a batch of medicinal residues today. Liu Laosan saw Zheng Qingsong approaching, and hurriedly leaned into his ear and said.
"Didn't you say that there is a bamboo basket in seven days, why did you just finish talking yesterday and came here today?" Zheng Qingsong looked at Liu Laosan suspiciously, "Senior brother doesn't know, these spiritual grass residues are very sought-after in the secular world, there are a total of so few immortal cultivation sects within a radius of ten thousand miles, but there are many countries in the secular world, and they are in short supply at all, so this Han steward heard that we can give them some, so they can live in peace, didn't they rush over overnight last night." ”
Glancing at Zheng Qingsong's face, he was afraid that Zheng Qingsong would be embarrassed and continued: "If the senior brother is embarrassed, you can give him less first, or let him wait in the town for some time, after all, there will be one less bamboo basket of medicine residue at once, so as not to be discovered by the sect steward." ”
"Then you lead the way, let's go meet this Han steward," Zheng Qingsong said.
"Okay, senior brother, give me the bamboo basket on your back, it's the small courtyard not far ahead. Liu Laosan heard Zheng Qingsong say that he was also happy to lead the way in front of him, after all, he also had a share of the medicine residue. As he spoke, he took the bamboo basket on Zheng Qingsong's back and carried it on his body, and pointed to a courtyard not far in front of him.
When he arrived at the door of the courtyard, Liu Laosan knocked on the door three times, two long and one short, "I said how can you be so careful with the connection of the underground party?" Zheng Qingsong looked at Liu Laosan's appearance and was a little speechless, and thought to himself, isn't it just some broken medicine slag?
"Senior brother, if you are not careful, after all, we belong to an underground transaction, in case the deacon of the sect finds out that the two of us will die, there was a senior brother from the outside of the mountain who stole the dregs of the Danfang and was found by the deacon, and directly abolished the dantian and expelled him from the sect, and the end was miserable. Liu Laosan looked scared.
"It's so dangerous, are you still doing it?" Zheng Qingsong's heart suddenly burst, although he didn't know what it meant to abolish the dantian, but it was conceivable that it was definitely not a good thing, and it seemed that he would really have to be careful in the future. I thought that no one should pay attention to the fact that there were so many slags, but it didn't seem to be as simple as I thought.
"Wealth and danger, like our miscellaneous disciples almost have no cultivation qualifications, we will only give us the first level of qi cultivation after we have done a year of miscellaneous labor, if we do not have a sense of qi within three years and reach the bottom of the qi refining period, we will have to be miscellaneous disciples forever, or return to the mundane world to be an ordinary person, but the mundane world is so easy to mix? If there is no money, it will be even worse to live in the mundane.
If you look at my age, senior brother, you should know that I have no chance to become an outer disciple again, let alone an inner disciple. Since that's the case, I, Liu Laosan, might as well take some risks, get some money, and return to the mundane world to be a rich man. Liu Laosan had an expression of becoming a benevolent if he didn't succeed, and in the end, he became excited, and his voice became much louder.
Feelings, Liu Laosan is a gambler's character, watching Liu Laosan speak louder and louder, Zheng Qingsong was speechless for a while, he is not afraid of people hearing it now.
While the two were talking, there was a squeak, and a gap in the door opened, revealing only one eye to look out, and saw that it was Liu Laosan, who was inside, so he opened the door and let the two in.
This person looked like a middle-aged man, with a tuft of beard on his chin, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he looked left and right outside the door and saw that no one immediately closed the door, so he turned back to Liu Laosan and said, "Third brother, you are here, let me wait, this is the immortal master, right?"
"Yes, this is the senior brother of our sect, this transaction can only be concluded thanks to the senior brother, otherwise these dregs would not have been able to get it at all. Liu Laosan changed his groveling in front of Zheng Qingsong, straightened his waist, and said with an arrogant face.
The villain Han Yuchuan has seen the Immortal Master. This Han steward hurriedly saluted.
Zheng Qingsong was not polite, and accepted the gift of Han Steward with peace of mind, although he had not been in this world for a long time, Zheng Qingsong knew the rules of this world, that is, the strong are respected, and the status of immortal cultivators is much higher than that of mortals, although he has not yet done any cultivation.
"Okay, Manager Han, don't be so polite, let's talk about business, after all, I don't have much time to stay here. After Steward Han got up, Zheng Qingsong said directly.
"Yes, Immortal Master, I don't know how much medicine residue the Immortal Master can give me this time? I hope that the Immortal Master can give me more, preferably a bamboo basket. Steward Han also said happily when he saw Zheng Qingsong say this.
"Senior brother, isn't there too much half a bamboo basket, after all, it's ....." Liu Laosan didn't say anything further halfway through speaking, Zheng Qingsong glanced at Liu Laosan, meaning to rest assured that it's okay.
"Steward Han, if I give you a bamboo basket this time, what price can you offer?" Hearing Zheng Qingsong's words, Liu Laosan's face changed, "Senior brother!" Steward Han said with a smile: "The price of a bamboo basket is eight spirit stones on the market, and if it is higher, there are nine spirit stones, but if the immortal master can give me a basket, how about I can get ten spirit stones?"
Zheng Qingsong heard Liu Laosan call that he knew that he was worried that he would be found by the deacon if he gave too much at one time, but Zheng Qingsong ignored him, and after listening to the price of Steward Han, he turned around and looked at Liu Laosan with inquiring eyes, Liu Laosan nodded, meaning that the price was very reasonable, Zheng Qingsong saw Liu Laosan nodding and turned back to Steward Han and said: "In that case, then give you a bamboo basket, No! Liu Laosan gave him a bamboo basket." ”
Seeing that Zheng Qingsong ignored his insistence, Liu Laosan wanted to say something but closed his mouth again, obediently took down the bamboo basket on his back according to Zheng Qingsong's intentions, and said to Steward Han: "You go and get something that holds the dregs." ”
Steward Han hurriedly went into the house and took out a cloth bag, "Third brother, just pour it here." ”
Looking at the smile of Steward Han, Zheng Qingsong guessed that this old boy seemed to make a lot of money, and after the transaction was completed, Liu Laosan put away the spirit stone and walked out of the small courtyard with Zheng Qingsong.
"Senior brother, this is too dangerous! Give so much at once, if the deacon of the sect finds out, we will be finished. As soon as he got out of the small courtyard, Liu Laosan said a little anxiously.
"Don't worry, there are not as many medicinal residues in the Danfang as you think, and they are still increasing every day, no one knows about the lack of a basket. Zheng Qingsong said indifferently, and Liu Laosan didn't say anything when he heard Zheng Qingsong say this, but he thought to himself: "This senior brother is not bold but quite old, I still make a few clean profits and run away, if I get into trouble with him for a long time, sooner or later." ”
"Senior brother, this is the spirit stone this time. Liu Laosan put the spirit stone in Zheng Qingsong's hand, Zheng Qingsong looked at the milky white stone in his hand, and it was warm and emitted white fluorescence, it turned out that this was the spirit stone, Zheng Qingsong said in his heart. After looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything famous, and took out three pieces from his hand and handed them to Liu Laosan, "Here, this is your share." ”
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, Liu Laosan rubbed his hands happily, and kept saying, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
