Chapter 14: Elixir Seeds
Chang'an City, where every inch of land is valuable, has suddenly become a dream for many people.
Owning a house in Chang'an City has become the goal of most young people in the Great Liang Dynasty.
Some young people even do not hesitate to go north to Chang'an City to work, in order to one day, they can get ahead in Chang'an City.
It's a pity that there are not many opportunities to get ahead, and without the help of nobles, your life can only be done nothing.
It's okay to dream once in a while, but if you dream too much, you will lose it.
The possibility of a poor disciple wanting to turn over is very small.
Fortunately, the imperial examination has become the best way for the children of poor families to realize their ideals in life.
But in recent years, the water of the imperial examination has also been muddyed, and the black-box operation has become an unspoken rule that everyone knows.
His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang intended to rectify it, but was obstructed by the joint efforts of Liu Xiang and Changgong.
However, with the establishment of Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor Chen Guangze made up his mind to rectify it!
In the imperial court of Chang'an, there are "four tyrants", in addition to Liu Xiang and Changgong, there are two others.
One of them is Sun Shanghe, the commander of the forbidden army.
The other person is Wu Xiangwei Town, who has glorious titles such as "Martial God" and "Military God"!
Sun Shanghe was Chen Guangze's confidant, which was known to the entire imperial court.
And Wu Xiangweizhen's attitude has always been unclear.
Half of the military power of the Great Liang Dynasty was in the hands of Wei Zhen.
Half of the first tiger talisman that can mobilize troops from all over the country is in the hands of Emperor Chen Guangze of Great Liang, and the other half is in the hands of Wei Zhen.
Perhaps it was the existence of the tiger charm that made many people believe that Wei Zhen was on Chen Guangze's side.
Chen Guangze knew that if he wanted to rectify the imperial examination, then the support of Sun Shanghe and Wei Zhen was indispensable.
Sun Shanghe said that the main thing is this Wei Town, and ideological work still needs to be done.
On the fifteenth of next month, Wei Zhen will return from inspecting the military situation, and when the time comes, Chen Guangze plans to take him for a good chat.
And at this time, within the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren had been living here for a week, and during this week, they were basically familiar with everything in the Sword Sect.
However, it is a pity that they have not been able to meet Lu Jiu, and they still want to pass through Lu Jiu and worship Yu Bailing as a teacher.
"Now the land price of Chang'an, a radius of an inch of such a place, it costs a tael of gold!
Bao Duomu sat opposite Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren, and the spittle he said flew sideways.
During this time, except for the deacon's senior brother Bai Yingzhuo, the person who had the best relationship with the two was this "Sword Sect Bao Inquiring" Bao Duomu.
This Senior Brother Bao is like having a pair of clairvoyance and tailwind ears, and there seems to be nothing in the world that he doesn't know!
I thought that a house in Yunhe Town would cost a hundred taels of silver, which would already be a sky-high price!"
"Now, when I hear the price, I know what it means to sit in the sky. Zhang Xiaoluo sighed.
The outside world is still very different from what he imagined.
If he hadn't succeeded in worshipping the Sword Sect, maybe eating would have been a problem!
"Senior Brother Bao, we want to go to the Medicine Pavilion, is there any way to do this?"
A week has passed, and they are going to sow the elixir.
Newly entered disciples, within half a year, do not need to pay the maintenance fee of the Mixed Yuan World.
But after half a year, you have to pay a maintenance fee.
Every month, the minimum payment is 10 gold!
This is a very high price, and most people will use elixir to offset it.
And the reason why the Sword Sect is priced so high is actually because it is also in the intention of letting the disciples plant elixir.
In the eyes of the monks, elixir is much more valuable than gold!
Moreover, new disciples who enter the sect can receive ten elixir seeds for free, and if they want to receive them later, they have to exchange them for contribution points.
As for the contribution value, it is nothing more than a price system set by the Sword Sect.
If you want to get a contributor, it's easy to go down the mountain to kill demons, and give a certain amount of contribution value according to the strength of the demon you kill.
In addition, disciples who have made great contributions to the Sword Sect can also receive a certain amount of contribution points.
For example, in the Great Sect Competition, if you defeat the disciples of other sects, you can get contribution points.
"Get the elixir seeds?" Bao Duomu thought for a moment, as if preparing a word.
Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren did not urge Bao Duomu.
After a long time, Bao Duomu took a deep breath, and it seemed that he was about to speak.
"For newcomers, if you want to harvest enough valuable elixir within half a year, I suggest that you choose five Dragon's Heart Grass seeds, plus five Roosterscomb Seeds. ”
"These two elixirs are the easiest to grow and mature quickly, usually once every three months or so. ”
"If you're lucky, you'll be able to harvest twice when you arrive in half a year!" Bao Duomu said.
"Dragon's Heart Grass and Rooster's Crown?" Zhang Xiaoluo silently wrote down the names of the two elixirs.
"Are there any special elixir seeds?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.
"Yes, but you can't get it, senior brother, I know what you have in mind. Bao Duomu winked at the two of them.
Zhang Xiaoluo's thoughts, he saw through at a glance.
Zhang Xiaoluo should want to receive a few seeds of high-grade elixir for free, anyway, the first ten are free, and if you don't receive it, you won't receive it.
But it's a pity that the seeds of high-grade elixirs are all above the third floor of the Medicine Pavilion, and only the seeds of the third layer and below can be collected for free.
After listening to Bao Duo's explanation, Zhang Xiaoluo was suddenly a little lost.
"However, if you want to try your luck, you can choose to receive the seed of a lucky flower. Bao Duomu said.
"Lucky flower?" Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren glanced at each other, what kind of flower is this?
"Well, when the lucky flower is ripe, it will bear fruit, and the fruit will bear different effects. ”
"If you're lucky, you will bear the spirit fruit against the sky, and you will be developed!"
"There's a certain gambling element in this, so we call it the lucky flower. Whether you can be lucky or not depends on the will of God. Bao Duomu explained with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoluo's eyes turned, he felt that he could get one and try his luck.
What if, it is developed?
Anyway, it's free, and it's a small gamble.
In the afternoon of the same day, they went to the Sword Sect Medicine Pavilion.
In the medicine pavilion, not only elixir seeds are stored, but also various finished elixirs.
The Medicine Pavilion and the Dan Pavilion next to it are one, and the pills refined by the Dan Pavilion are all raw materials taken from the Medicine Pavilion.
The two of them entered the medicine pavilion, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance came to their faces, burrowed into the person's nostrils, and entered the body through the trachea.
The medicinal smell here makes people feel refreshed.
Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren suddenly felt a little more energetic, and some of the little fatigue on their bodies dissipated.
"Senior, let's pick up the seeds. ”
Zhang Xiaoluo saw an old man in gray not far away, who was sorting out the elixir, thinking that he was the manager here.
"Go find it yourself, just pick it up and register with me." The old man in gray didn't even look at the two of them, just waved his hand.
Although the old man in gray didn't look at the two, Zhang Xiaoluo felt that the etiquette should still be sufficient.
After thanking him, he turned to leave to look for the elixir seed.
The two popular elixirs of dragon heart grass and cockscomb are very common, so Zhang Xiaoluo and they quickly found them.
The two of them opened the drawer and took out eight dragon's heart grass seeds and eight cockscomb seeds, each of which was divided into four seeds.
In addition, the two plan to try their luck by taking two lucky flowers each.
Lucky Flower is also easy to find as a "hot seller" here.
In this way, the two took four dragon's heart grass seeds, four cockscomb seeds, and two lucky flower seeds.
"Senior, we have obtained the elixir seed. Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren came to the old man in gray.
"Lucky flower, little one who loves to gamble. ”
The old man in gray said with a smile.
When the old man in gray's hand touched Zhang Xiaoluo's hand, he suddenly became uncalm, and the smile on his face instantly converged, replaced by a faint trace of anger.
The old man in gray registered the two of them, and then issued an eviction order.
Zhang Xiaoluo walked out of the medicine pavilion, looked at Qin Ren, and said, "Don't you think that this senior's mood seems to have changed somewhat?"
"I noticed it. Qin Ren nodded.
Just as Qin Ren's words fell, a figure suddenly flashed beside the two of them, and it was so fast that people's eyes were confused.
"It seems to be, the gray-clothed senior just now?" Zhang Xiaoluo blinked.
"Like, it's fast. Qin Ren said.
In the main hall of the Sword Sect, Yu Qianhua, the head of the sect, was meditating with his eyes closed, and the ten elders of the Sword Sect beside him surrounded him.
At their level of cultivation and state of mind, meditation has become their daily routine.
It is difficult to attract anything other than to break through to a higher realm.
"Yu Qianhua!"
There was a loud shout at the door, and the ten elders of the Sword Sect opened their eyes and looked at the door.
When they saw that the person who came was an old man in gray, they all looked at Yu Qianhua, waiting for him to make the decision.
And Yu Qianhua, as if he knew that the old man in gray would come, still sat there calmly, and didn't seem to intend to pay attention to the old man in gray.
"Why do you want to recruit a robber?" said the old man in gray with an angry expression.
"Senior brother, aren't you the best at divination?
"When disaster comes, who can be spared? This is not necessarily a chance. Yu Qianhua slowly opened his eyes and then said.
The old man in gray was silent, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and then opened his eyes again.
The anger on his face retreated a little, but he still said, "It's a bit risky." ”
"Wealth and danger are sought, and they are born after death!"
"It's better to live in a mess, it's better to let go happily. Yu Qianhua said.
The old man in gray stopped saying a word, and turned away silently.
Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren had already returned to their residences at this time, and were preparing to sow elixir.
When they went down to work in the field, the old man in gray appeared out of thin air, startling the two of them.
"Seniors. The two saluted.
"Take this seed, try it, plant it. The old man in gray threw out a turquoise seed.
That kind of seed was different from ordinary elixir seeds, and it exuded an emerald green light all around it, like a piece of green jade.
This look, it's a high-grade elixir seed!
The old man in gray actually gave them such a big gift?
The two were about to look up and ask, but the old man in gray had long since disappeared.
Yu Qianhua stood at the door of the main hall of the Sword Sect, looked at the direction where Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren were, stroked his beard, and nodded with a smile.
Yu Qianhua's senior brother, the old man in gray, gave Zhang Xiaoluo the seed they gave was a seed that should be destroyed!
It's also interesting that the person who should be robbed is matched with the seed of the robbery.
