Chapter Fifty-Seven: Winning Talents
The down-and-out man said: "Daoyou is really good eyesight, these few things of mine are all good things, you look at this bone, this material, this luster, it is obviously the leg bone of a demon beast above the fourth order, and this bead, non-gold, non-silver, non-copper and non-iron, it is a good thing at first glance." ”
"Then what are these two jade slips?" asked Xu Huaiyi. In fact, Xu Huaiyi is more interested in things like jade slips.
"These two ......," the man was a little embarrassed, "are just two recipes." ”
"Recipe?" Xu Huaiyi was a little interested.
"Yes," mentioning the recipe, this person was interested, "Daoyou, you may not know, speaking of this recipe, it's like a pill, the pill is to refine the essence of herbs and trees, and the same is true for this recipe, after a series of concoctions, frying, cooking, frying, stewing, boiling, boiling, boiling...... As long as the ingredients are good, the spiritual power contained in a dish is no worse than a second-order elixir!"
Now Xu Huaiyi is really interested. Because Xu Huaiyi had never seen this kind of recipe before. You must know that the mortal realm and the cultivation realm are actually similar in terms of eating, and even surpassing. Because after the monk reached the Ning Yuan Realm, he did not have much need for ordinary food, and after reaching the Purple Mansion Stage, he should reduce his appetite.
Even in the mundane world, cooking is just steaming, and there are no other tricks. Even if they are monks in the Qi cultivation period, except for the meat of the Spirit Valley Demon Beast, most of them rely on the Bigu Dan for maintenance.
"If this thing is so useful, then you are still so down-and, how did you come up with the idea of delving into it?"
The man smiled, and when he saw that Xu Huaiyi was willing to speak, he just thought that Xu Huaiyi had taken a fancy to the things on his stall, and said: "Actually, before I cultivated immortals, I liked to make some strange practices, and I was also greedy, and I didn't forget to eat when I cultivated, so I just pondered when I had nothing to do." It's a pity that no one thinks it's a thing...... Hey, Daoyou, what do you like? This bone? Or this bead?"
Xu Huaiyi sneered, and said in a secret voice: "Daoist friends, don't think I'm easy to deceive, your bead is clearly an ordinary piece of black jade, and a few traces of aura may have entered the grade because of the long time, so it is estimated that your bone is not a genuine product, sprinkled with powder, right?"
"......" The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Since Daoyou have seen it, please don't say it, is it okay?"
Xu Huaiyi smiled gently, leaned his face to the man, and said, "Of course you can, but why? Give me a reason." ”
The man opened his mouth and did not speak.
Xu Huaiyi changed his words and asked, "But what I care more about is that you just said that as long as the ingredients are good enough, a dish can be compared to a second-order elixir, but is it true?"
"What do you have to do with it!" the man did not lift his head.
"Isn't it a loose cultivator?" Xu Huaiyi continued to ask.
The man didn't answer, just packed up his stall and prepared to leave.
Xu Huaiyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Fellow Daoist misunderstood, I really don't like the goods on your stall, but I saw you, if you are a casual cultivator, then you might as well do it with me!"
"With you?" the man sneered, "Which force lacks an Elder Keqing?" Lao Tzu is not rare!" After speaking, he was about to leave.
Xu Huaiyi's family received an invitation to go up the mountain to participate in the puja, and the trade fair at the foot of the mountain was open to anyone, so there was a loose practice.
Xu Huaiyi stopped him again, and Shi Li apologized: "Daoyou, I was reckless before, I didn't hide it from Daoyou, I was a member of the Xu family in Yaoguang Mountain, Beiyu Mansion, and when I saw that Daoyou had such cooking skills, I wanted to recruit Daoyou to be a restaurant chef, I don't know what to do with friendship?"
The man seemed to be a little moved, and after a while, he said: "In Xia He Yan, Nanchuan Mansion is a loose cultivator, I don't know why you want to recruit me?
Xu Huaiyi nodded, "That's natural, I guess Daoyou is also down recently, so he will do this deception, right?"
He Yan sighed and said: "Alas, I have no choice but to do it, to be honest, I have been a guest in many family sects in Nanchuan Mansion before Xia, and I think that Yu Lu is too low, in addition to supporting my family, it is not enough to study some recipes." So now there are only formulas comparable to first-order elixirs. ”
Xu Huaiyi's eyes were already shining, and he clapped his palms and laughed: "Enough, enough! Daoyou is like this, I really want to open a restaurant, Daoyou, you are in charge, how about the three achievements of the restaurant's profit as a Daoyou's money?"
He Yan was still a little worried, "Fellow Daoist, I won't tell you, I also told others before, but unfortunately people don't care at all, aren't you afraid of losing money after this toss?"
Xu Huaiyi seemed to be full of confidence, "It doesn't matter if you really lose money, even if you lose money, you can get 10,000 spirit stones a year." It's just that Daoyou has to follow me to Beiyu Mansion. ”
He Yan saw that Xu Huaiyi had made up his mind, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, Nanchuan Mansion and Sendai Mansion are not far apart, so I will go back and bring my family and return home with you!"
Xu Huaiyi naturally agreed, "Okay, three days later, I will still be waiting for Daoist friends at the foot of Feiyun Mountain." ”
After sending He Yan away, Xu Huaiyi continued to wander around the stall. In fact, theoretically speaking, it is unlikely that Xu Huaiyi will buy technical books, because in these books, there are not only the comprehension of the fire, technique, spiritual power input, and divine mind control of the predecessors when refining, but also some refining know-how, but also some common Danfang, array diagrams and the like.
Xu Huaiyi walked around for a long time and didn't see any such books for sale. I think it's all like a treasure and it's hidden. I didn't find the book, but I came across a pill seller.
Xu Huaiyi walked past the pill stall, originally wanting to see if there was any pill that he could use now. As a result, the stall owner said mysteriously: "Daoyou, do you need something good?"
"What is it?" Xu Huaiyi said curiously when he saw that he was mysterious.
The stall owner looked around and said, "Fourth-order elixir, how is it?"
Xu Huaiyi looked the stall owner up and down, but it was only the sixth layer of Ning Yuan, at most it could be a third-order high-grade alchemist, and he also said, "I don't know where you got the fourth-order pill?"
The stall owner smiled secretly and said, "Of course, it is not my turn to sell the fourth-order elixir, but my master is a fourth-order alchemist, and sometimes if he doesn't control it well, he will refine some half-finished pills, and I can often get some when I clean my master's alchemy room." ”
"So all the defective products you bought here?" Xu Huaiyi was a little displeased.
"Oh, don't say it's so ugly, in fact, this semi-finished pill is just not effective enough, and the others are no different from the finished product. ”
Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you have a fourth-order low-grade Tongqi Pill?"
"Yes, yes. The stall owner rummaged through the storage bag, "Well, this Tongqi Pill already has seventy percent of the medicinal power of the finished product, and eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones." ”
Xu Huaiyi was taken aback, "Eight thousand, do you want so much for this business?"
"You can't say that, you must know that the fourth-order pill is more than 10,000 spirit stones per pill, and the market price of the Tongqi Pill is 15,000, which is nearly half cheaper for me!"
"Seven thousand!"
"Don't fool me, eight thousand is already the lowest price. ”
Xu Huaiyi sneered: "You know, all alchemists will not tolerate their waste pills appearing on the market, if I publicize it......"
"Okay, okay, seven thousand five, no matter how young Lao Tzu is, I won't do it!"
"Deal!"
