Chapter 200: Strange Old Man
After learning the news of the apprenticeship, Lin Yi couldn't sleep at night, he had no taste for food, and he kept thinking about how to enter Yuncang Gate.
The body involuntarily left Xia's house, and unconsciously came to the store he opened.
"Fuck off, your name is Hanako, this is not the place for you. The shouting and scolding of a small guy came from the store, and it also pulled Lin Yi back to reality from his thoughts.
Lin Yi looked at the scene in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I've been a walking dead these days!"
Looking at the plaque of Yi Bao Lou, he calculated carefully, "Today is the day when I come here to see if there is a transaction that needs to be made." ”
Just as he was about to go inside, the little man took a wooden stick and drove an old man in ragged clothes out of the door, and the old man tripped over the threshold and fell outside the door.
Seeing this, Lin Yi stepped forward quickly, grabbed the wooden stick, and said coldly: "Stop!"
The little guy was still angry, and he didn't notice that someone was holding his wooden stick and exerting all the strength of his body, but he didn't break free of Lin Yi's palm.
"Who the ......" The little guy was about to scold, looked up, quickly held his voice, let go of the wooden stick, and stood aside respectfully, "Landlord, you're here!"
Lin Yi threw the wooden stick in his hand aside, bent down, picked up his old friend on the ground, turned to look at the little guy, and looked unhappy, "What's the situation?"
The little guy pointed to the old man, and his mouth was like a river, and he was spitting about the situation just now.
It turned out that this old man came to Yi Baolou to exchange for a fifth-level spiritual material rootless spirit wood, which was a necessary thing for refining the Soul Returning Pill.
The little man looked at the tattered head, there must be no corresponding objects, and the old man was entertaining himself, so he drove him out with a wooden stick.
Lin Yi looked the old man up and down, his clothes were ragged, and there was a slight sour smell all over his body, but how could a person who knew the fifth-level spiritual material be so downcast?
Lin Yi said to the little guy, "Take a closer look at our couplet, everyone who comes is a guest, hurry up and apologize to this old gentleman." ”
The little guy was slightly stunned, and he was all kinds of resistance in his heart, but this was his boss's order. Forced to helpless, he arched his hand to the old man and said, "I'm sorry!"
The old man hurriedly bent over, and kept saying, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
"Okay, let's make a cup of tea!" Lin Yi waved his hand at the little guy, and the little guy quickly turned around and left like an amnesty.
Looking at the back of the little guy who left, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This service attitude is a big problem, the class concept is too strong, which is not conducive to the development of Yi Baolou, it seems that I have trained them well." ”
"Old gentleman, please inside!" Lin Yi made a gesture of please.
The old man looked at Lin Yi, his eyes flashed, and then he pretended to be cowardly, "I can't help it, I can't help it!"
"Those who come to Yibaolou are all God, no matter whether they are poor or rich, as long as there is a need, we will serve them well!" After speaking, Lin Yi took the old man into Yibaolou.
When they came to the trading place, Lin Yi and the old man sat opposite each other, and the little guy also gave spiritual tea and spiritual fruit according to the highest specifications.
The old man sniffed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then returned to his original state, hurriedly stood up, and said to Lin Yi: "It's all spiritual things, how can this be made, the old decay doesn't have this blessing!"
After coming in, although Lin Yi showed a big grin, he was paying attention to the old man's movements all the time, and seeing the old man's sitting down, Lin Yi had already concluded that this old man was not simple. After seeing the old man sniffing and concluding that it was a spiritual creature, he was extremely sure in his heart that this old man must have a lot of background.
When he observed the corners of the old man's mouth rising, Lin Yi slowly became a little wary, and pondered, "This old man must not be a real beggar, a real beggar, it is impossible for the sour taste to be so weak." If it's not a beggar, then what does this person want to do here, to make trouble, or to really ask for something?"
"This is the treatment that the old gentleman deserves, the people below don't know the rules and neglect the old gentleman, this can be regarded as making amends to the old gentleman!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"That's... That... I really drank it. The old man looked at Lin Yi and said in a hurry.
Lin Yi smiled and made a gesture of please.
I saw the old man pick up the saucer with his left hand, hold the tea lid with his right hand, gently scrape the tea leaves to the side, the tea lid is tilted, slowly bring the teacup to his mouth, and then slowly inhale the tea soup into his mouth.
The whole process is smooth and elegant, and there is no collision and friction between the saucer and the tea bowl and the tea lid, and there is no screeching sound, which is not what a beggar should have.
"Good tea, good tea, good tea!" the old man was full of praise.
Lin Yi answered, "Oh, the old gentleman also understands tea?"
When the tea soup stays between the mouthpiece, you can feel the tea soup penetrate the teeth, infiltrate the gums, and send the sweet jin back to the tongue from the root of the tongue, full of aroma, the nectar "shengjin", which makes people feel refreshed, overflowing with liquid, and lasts for a long time without dispersing thirst. ”
"Connoisseur, the old gentleman's outfit doesn't match the old gentleman's conversation. Lin Yi said tentatively.
The old man was like a child, who was grabbed by an adult by the pigtails, and quickly explained: "I used to be a child of a family, but how could the family have declined to get to where I am today. ”
Lin Yi looked at the old man and did not continue to ask, he knew that the old man's explanation was just an old man's cover-up.
"Just now, I heard from the little guy, do you want a rootless spirit tree?" Lin Yi asked.
"Yes!"
"I wonder what the old gentleman is for?"
"Help!"
"Making the Soul Rejuvenation Pill?"
"How do you know about the Soul Returning Pill?"
"Not only do I know the Soul Returning Pill, but I also know that the other materials are all elixirs and spiritual materials above level five, refining this elixir can cost tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, looking at the old man's dress, it doesn't look like there are so many medium-grade spirit stones. ”
"I don't bother you with this, son, I have my own way, I don't know if you have this rootless spirit wood in Yibaolou. I've traveled a lot, but I don't have any of them!"
Lin Yi looked at the old man with a smile and replied categorically, "Yes! I don't know what you exchanged for?"
"Can you make an offer?"
"1 medium amount of fifth-level spiritual materials, or 2 times the fourth-level spiritual materials, or other equivalent objects are fine!"
"Oh, the bid is fair!" After the old man finished speaking, he took out a box from his arms, put it in front of Lin Yi, slowly opened the lid, and a mellow pill appeared in front of Lin Yi, and the fragrance of the pill came to his nose.
Lin Yi carefully saw 5 Dan lines looming on the pill, "Fifth-order pill?"
"No injury pill, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured!" the old man explained.
Lin Yi communicated with the old man from his mind, then took out a box from the Naxu Ring, handed it over, slowly opened the lid of the box, and a wooden piece with the length of a middle finger was lying in the box.
Seeing what was in front of him, the old man stood up suddenly, stretched out his hands excitedly, picked up the wooden box, and repeated excitedly: "Rootless wood, rootless wood, I finally found the old man!"
Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, the old man closed the lid of the box, quickly hid it in his arms, and looked at Lin Yi vigilantly, "This is mine, you can't regret it!"
Looking at the old man's movements, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, "Don't regret it!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man turned around and ran out, disappearing, and a voice came from a distance, "Boy, you are very interesting, this time I owe you a favor!"
Lin Yi was ready to say that the old man had lost money, and he had taken advantage of it, and he could exchange it for something.
But Lao Tzu had disappeared, waved his hand helplessly, and after hearing the old man's words, he said with a smile: "Interesting!"
