Chapter 32: Bai Jing
The two of them set up a carriage and headed towards Xiyue Tower. Back in Xiyue Building, the two were bored eating snacks in the private room and looking at the scenery outside the window.
Chen Yuhan said: "I didn't expect you to be so rich. How many people are going to be pitted by this? ”
Zhu Pingfan leaned lazily on the chair and said, "I want you to take care of it, eat your snacks, the master is thinking about how to get more golden tickets." ”
Chen Yuhan thought for a while and said, "Ordinary, I think the richest one should be the City Lord's Mansion, or the Eastern Business Alliance." ”
Zhu Pingfan glanced at Chen Yuhan and said, "The master still wants to live a few more days, the power of the Eastern Business Alliance is too huge." And the city lords of the City Lord's Mansion are all disciples of the inner sect. Unless you're crazy, it's no different from looking for death to pit them for their money. ”
"The family and the Hong family were not as strong that year, why did you want to fight their idea?"
"It's not that there is no way, of course the persimmon has to be pinched softly. The Hong family and the Nian family are definitely not as strong as the City Lord's Mansion or the Eastern Business Alliance. And we didn't kill the three young people of the Nian family, the Nian family knew that we were a dead end. ”
"So what are your plans? ”
"What, what the plan. Go and play. The master is not thinking about how to get a golden ticket from the Hong family and the Nian family. Don't bother me. After that, Zhu Pingfan ignored Chen Yuhan, turned around and left the private room, and returned to his room to rest. And Chen Yuhan continued to eat dim sum and watch the scenery in the private room alone.
Seven days later, in the morning, Da Zhuang excitedly ran to Zhu Pingfan's room. Woke up Pingfan, who was still sleeping, and said, "Pingfan, I have already entered the fourth layer of the Body Refining Realm, and now I am in the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm." How awesome it is. ”
Pingfan was also very happy because of Da Zhuang's advancement, so he didn't have the patience to wake himself up, but smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work." Are those spirit jades enough for you to continue practicing? ”
"I've only used a dozen pieces of spirit jade, and the remaining spirit jade is enough for me to use for a long time. ”
"So those spirit jades are enough for you to use for a while, and the master is still worried that they are not enough. Moreover, some time ago, the master exchanged all the extra things in the carriage and the silver tickets he took from you for gold tickets. As he spoke, he took out a stack of golden tickets and threw them to Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang took the silver ticket and looked at it, then put away the silver ticket and said: "Ordinary, I found that practicing is very expensive, I used more than a dozen pieces of spirit jade in five days, and a piece of spirit jade costs 10,000 taels of gold." These more than 800,000 taels of gold, if they are used for cultivation for a few days, they will be gone. ”
"Da Zhuang, I'm also thinking about this, so we have to find a way to get more spirit jade or golden tickets. And it's a long way to go to the Divine Fist Gate, if we don't have the strength or even the ability to protect ourselves. ”
Da Zhuang pondered for a long time and said, "Then when will we do it?" ”
"Don't worry, the master has been wandering around East Stone City in the past few days and has learned a lot about the situation. The master already has a preliminary idea. We continue to wait. Da Zhuang, you continue to cultivate, if I need you to do something, I will tell you in advance. ”
Da Zhuang nodded and turned around to leave Zhu Pingfan's room, and then prepared a lot of dry food and continued to return to his room to cultivate.
After Da Zhuang left, Zhu Pingfan sat back on the bed, holding the recipe of green bamboo wine in his hand and fell into deep thought.
At noon, Chen Yuhan came to the door of Zhu Pingfan's room and knocked on the door skillfully, shouting: "Get up and eat, the sun is drying your buttocks." ”
Zhu Pingfan said helplessly: "What are you yelling, the door is not closed, come in." ”
Chen Yuhan walked into Zhu Pingfan's room in surprise and said, "Hey, why aren't you sleeping today." ”
Zhu Pingfan didn't bother to explain, glanced at Chen Yuhan and said, "Let's go, go eat." Then go out and run errands. ”
Chen Yuhan nodded obediently, and then the two left Xiyue Building after eating and came to the Bai Family Wine Shop. The Bai family liquor store has been closed for a long time. Zhu Pingfan and the others walked to the door of the Bai family's wine shop to call the door, and Bai Jing opened the door of the wine shop for a long time. Zhu Pingfan looked at the haggard Bai Jing and said, "I have something to do with you, go in and talk about it." After that, Zhu Pingfan and Chen Yuhan walked into the wine shop, and after Bai Jing closed the door, he followed Zhu Pingfan and the others to a table and chair in the hall. After the three of them sat down, Zhu Pingfan said: "I have looked at the formula of the green bamboo wine for several days and found some problems, this time I want to ask you some questions about the formula of this wine." ”
Bai Jing thought for a while and said, "Ask directly what you want to ask, and I will tell you everything I know." ”
Zhu Pingfan also thought about it and said: "Why does this wine recipe need spirit stones when brewing, and there are several herbs in it that are particularly expensive, I went to the pharmacy a few days ago to inquire about these herbs, evergreen grass, Juling grass, dilang root, These three herbs can only be used by monks, as for the price is ridiculously expensive, a single evergreen grass only ten years old will cost four million taels of gold, and the spirit grass is even more expensive, the same ten years will require fifteen million taels of gold, the root of the land is a legendary medicinal material for Dongshi City, only recorded in books, and the pharmacy shopkeeper said that if there is really a sale of 50 million taels of gold, there will be monks who spend money to buy it. It is also mentioned in the wine recipe that the longer the age of the herbs, the better. If it's a hundred-year-old evergreen, it's hard for me to imagine how much gold is needed. ”
Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "These mothers you mentioned have also inquired in major pharmacies, as you said, even the most ordinary white lotus seeds need 50,000 taels of gold for ten years." So my mother used medicinal materials similar to these medicines to make wine, of course, like the three herbs you said, my mother didn't use them when she made wine. Moreover, it is not necessary to use those herbs when making green bamboo wine, but the method of making wine. You asked me why I used spirit stones, and you must know the price of spirit stones better than me. And my mother and I can't afford to use spirit stones, so we can only use spirit jade instead. When making wine, you need to place seven pieces of spiritual jade next to the green bamboo according to the rules, I don't know why you do this, but in the end, there will always be two or three jars of green bamboo wine that are completely green, and the two or three jars of green green bamboo wine are fine green bamboo wine. And the boutique Qingzhu wine Nian family is willing to buy it from us at the price of five pieces of spiritual jade. And the improved Qingzhu wine recipe cost less than a thousand taels of silver in addition to the seven pieces of spirit jade. ”
Zhu Pingfan thought while listening to Bai Jing's explanation, and after being silent for a long time, Zhu Pingfan said, "What are your plans for the future?" ”
Bai Jing thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I'm used to doing business in East Stone City with my mother. Now that my mother is gone, I'm so confused by myself. I want to take revenge, it was Hong Jun who let his entourage kill my mother. ”
Zhu Pingfan nodded and said: "The experience of the master is similar to yours, the master is a rich merchant in Bianhai City, the port was robbed by a big family, and the whole family was slaughtered." Xiao Ye and his brother Da Zhuang fled to East Stone City. Isn't it about the same, isn't it very similar. Fate has wood. ”
Bai Jing suddenly felt speechless for a while, and wanted to comfort Zhu Pingfan, but felt that it would be weird to comfort the other party. Bai Jing stared at Zhu Pingfan and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Pingfan continued: "White girl, since we are so fateful, we have the goal of killing Hong Jun together. It's better to form an alliance. Xiao Ye, Da Zhuang and this Chen Yuhan girl are going to go to the Eastern Capital City together, and then join the sect to cultivate a real thing, you see that you yourself are not interesting in the East Stone City, it is better to form an alliance with us and go to the Eastern Capital City to find the sect to cultivate the truth. ”
Bai Jing pointed at herself and said, "Can I do it?" And now I just want to get revenge on Hong Jun. I don't think much about the future now. ”
Zhu Pingfan walked in front of Bai Jing, stared at Bai Jing's eyes and said seriously: "I said you can do it, as for Hong Jun's matter, I said that I would help you kill him, but now the time has not come." And we're not going to leave now, we're going to leave for the East Capital after we've settled all the things in East Rock City. You see if it's reliable or not. Do you have this alliance or not? ”
Bai Jing's brain was thinking quickly, and she felt that what Zhu Pingfan said was very reasonable, but she always felt that this person was not very reliable. Just looked at Zhu Pingfan like this.
Zhu Pingfan sighed and said: "Forget it, since the white girl looks down on the master, let's treat the master as if the master didn't say anything, and the alliance will be stopped." After speaking, Zhu Pingfan dragged Chen Yuhan to the gate.
