(Ask for collections!Ask for recommended votes!)
After being full of wine and food, Li Lingxu and the others began to head towards the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Now at the door of the branch of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, there are two rows of guards wearing silver and white armor.
"What should I do?" the second master asked.
Li Lingxu also knew that after the inn, the matter of the Fenglin thief in the city had already spread, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, as the opponent, had to take strict precautions at this moment, and said: "It's okay, I'll go in by myself, there is Lao Er's master waiting here for a while." ”
The second master also meant this, nodded immediately, and gave the purse on his waist to Li Lingxu.
Li Lingxu really didn't have any money, so he took the purse, weighed it, shook the folding fan, and strode towards the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Several guards didn't pay too much attention to Li Lingxu, thinking that his appearance didn't look too much like the maple forest thief.
As soon as Li Lingxu walked into the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he ushered in a girl with a delicate face, bent down and saluted, and asked in that sweet voice: "Childe, do you want to buy things or sell things?"
Li Ling raised his eyebrows, shook the folding fan, and said, "I'll buy medicinal herbs, lead the way!"
The girl smiled slightly, pointed her right hand to the side, and said, "Childe, please follow me." ”
Following the girl all the way, after walking a long way, Li Lingxu came to the medicinal herb area.
"The business of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is really big. ”
Li Lingxu couldn't help but sigh, along the way, as long as it is needed, almost all the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will sell it, and the area is extremely broad.
The girl stood in front and said, "Childe, this is the medicinal herb area, I will help you get any medicinal materials you need." ”
Li Lingxu saw that the medicinal materials were all on the shelves, all of which were contained in jade boxes, and he didn't plan to look for them one by one, so he reported the names of the medicinal materials he needed.
"Give me a hundred-year-old snake bone flower. ”
"Well, two hundred years of blue and white fruit here. ”
"I also want a hundred years of blood-stemmed grass. ”
......
The girl couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard the names of these medicinal materials that Li Lingxu said, and said, "Childe, we don't have ...... the two-hundred-year-old blue and white fruit you want."
Li Ling folded his fan, knocked on his head, and said, "Then get the oldest blue and white fruit." ”
The girl waited for Li Lingxu to finish speaking, and then looked for medicinal materials on the shelves, Rao is girl is familiar with the layout of the entire Chamber of Commerce, and she can't completely remember the medicinal materials in the entire medicinal material area, and it took a long time to find all the medicinal materials that Li Lingxu needs.
The girl stacked the seven jade boxes together, hugged them to her chest, and said to Li Lingxu: "Childe, settle the bill here." ”
Li Lingxu nodded and followed, and soon came to the counter.
"Uncle, can you give me a few more silver coins? It took me a month to find these herbs in the mountains. ”
In front of the counter, a big man in a coarse linen robe was carrying a bamboo basket on his back at the moment, and said to a middle-aged man with sharp-eared monkey gills in front of the counter.
"Get out of the way, the business that our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce does, the prices are all clear and real, don't you know?" The middle-aged man shouted angrily, and the big man was frightened and took a few steps back and bumped into Li Lingxu.
"Right...... Sorry...... I ......" The big man felt that he had bumped into someone, turned around and saw Li Lingxu, and saw Li Lingxu's dress, and couldn't help but hurriedly apologize.
Li Lingxu smiled slightly, helped the big man, and said, "It's okay." ”
The girl also frowned slightly, then looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Steward Zhang, this is the medicinal herb that this son purchased." ”
Hearing this, the steward looked at the medicinal materials that Li Lingxu needed, and had a slight calculation in his heart, and his originally angry face disappeared in an instant, revealing a flattering smile, and said to Li Lingxu: "Childe, these medicinal materials need a total of fifty-three gold coins. Nian Zai's first time here, I will be in charge of collecting fifty gold coins from you. ”
So expensive? Li Lingxu thought that these medicinal materials were the lowest year medicinal materials, and they could actually ask for fifty gold coins.
One gold coin is equivalent to a month's food and drink for an ordinary person, which is considered a sky-high price.
Li Ling muttered in his heart, glanced at the big man's bamboo basket, and found that it was also filled with medicinal materials, including some of the medicinal materials he needed, and asked, "Big brother, do you want to sell this medicinal material?"
The big man glanced down at the steward, looked at the warning gaze of the steward Zhang, couldn't help but be a little scared, and said, "No...... Don't sell ......"
Li Lingxu also knew that this person was afraid of the retaliation of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, so he didn't embarrass him at the moment, so he immediately took out fifty gold coins from his purse, bought the medicinal materials, put the jade box into the storage bag he carried, turned around and strode away.
I could still vaguely hear a few shouts and curses coming from the counter, as well as the sound of the big man admitting his mistake without falling.
Li Lingxu shook his head, this Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is really disgusting.
The second master was sitting in a teahouse, and when he saw Li Lingxu coming, he asked, "How is it?"
Li Lingxu nodded and said, "I bought it, but the price is a little expensive, fifty gold coins." ”
The second master was taken aback, although there were a lot of gold coins brought here, but these fifty gold coins had already exceeded his expectations, and said: "Is it so expensive? I heard that some people collect medicine and sell it to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and it is only a few dozen silver coins per plant, which is really greedy." ”
Li Lingxu nodded helplessly, and an idea popped up in his mind, and said, "If you go to contact those villagers who collect medicines, collect medicinal materials, and sell them yourself, won't you hurt the lifeblood of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce more than you robbed?"
The second master was shocked when he heard this, and felt that this statement was reasonable, and said: "This is a good idea, but I'm afraid that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will not let us succeed easily, and besides, we can't build a shop in the city, and we can't sell it at all." But if it's Brother Li, you'......"
Li Lingxu actually has such thoughts, but he is now poor and white, and he doesn't seem to be able to buy the money to buy a shop in the town to do business, so he can't help but say: "This matter is not urgent, the most important thing is to treat scholars at present." ”
When the second master heard this, he was also worried about the scholar's injury, so he didn't say more.
After doing this, Li Lingxu and the others also decided to return to the mountain immediately, and they didn't know how the scholar was doing now.
In the wooden building, Li Lingxu was sitting cross-legged, adjusting his state, and Xiaoyun was also transformed into a phantom, quietly waiting for Li Lingxu to breathe.
Li Lingxu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and the spirit of the whole person reached a peak.
Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction: "Let's start." ”
Li Lingxu bowed slightly, stepped out of bed, looked at the dozen or so medicinal herbs on the table, and felt a little nervous in his heart, and a trace of expectation.
Xiao Yun looked at Li Lingxu getting ready, and said: "Alchemy, pay attention to the power of the divine soul, and also your control, the subtle control of the pill determines the success or failure of your alchemy. ”
"I see that your divine soul is quite powerful, more than several times stronger than those who don't cultivate divine souls, you are simply a natural alchemist. ”
"In ancient times, there was a great power who specialized in cultivating the divine soul, and in the end, he was also one of the strongest people in the world, and he divided the divine soul into three realms. ”
"The first layer is the subtlety, the perception is subtle, and the person who can reach this realm already has the initial potential to become a Danshi. ”
"There are also three levels of subtlety, the peak of the early and middle stages. I see that you are now at the pinnacle of subtlety, and you can refine the three-grade pill. ”
Due to the fusion of Li Lingxu's soul from another world into this body, it also caused his soul to be much stronger than others.
As far as Li Lingxu knows, there is no method of cultivating the soul in this world, but at this time, listening to what Xiaoyun said, it seems that there is a cultivation method of the soul, but Xiaoyun did not teach him, which means that Xiaoyun does not have this method.
Everything in the world has a soul, and whether it is strong or not is destined from the moment of birth, of course, there are some genius treasures that nourish the soul, which can improve the strength of the soul the day after tomorrow, but it is just a legend.
Li Lingxu couldn't help but scratch his head when he received this compliment, he was a little embarrassed, he knew that this body had the divine souls of two people, although he was dominant, but the strength of the divine souls had increased a lot.
Xiao Yun looked at Li Lingxu without complacency, and said with a smile: "However, this is just basic, like this lowest-grade hundred-year-old medicinal material, there is only one grade of the pill refined. It's not too hard. ”
Li Lingxu's face was solemn, and he quietly listened to Xiaoyun explain the precautions for alchemy, as well as the experience of some predecessors.
Compared with the elixir catalogue, Xiaoyun seems to have said some more things that are not recorded in the catalogue.
It took more than half a day for Li Lingxu to completely digest this knowledge, but it is one thing to understand it, and it is another thing to do it.
Although I know that there are only three steps to refining the elixir below the three grades, the first one is to condense the medicinal liquid.
Condensing the liquid medicine is to urge the spiritual fire to pass the medicinal materials through the high temperature of the flame, and remove the impurities in the medicinal materials, leaving only the essence of the medicinal materials.
Spiritual fire is a kind of fire exclusive to qi refiners, using their own origin aura as fuel and igniting with the mind of the divine soul, not only alchemy, but even the refining weapon is also very useful to the enemy.
When Li Ling heard this, his eyes closed slightly, and he guided his aura to his fingertips, and then urged his soul and mind.
Burst~
Li Lingxu's fingertips instantly ignited a cluster of flames, and the color of the flames was not ordinary red, but purple.
Li Lingxu's forehead began to sweat a little, not because he couldn't support it, but because he was nervous.
Picked up a piece of medicinal herbs and began to quench the medicinal liquid.
It took half an hour, and the hundred-year-old blood stem grass had been burned into a drop of blood-red liquid by the spiritual fire, which looked like a drop of blood.
Li Ling didn't care about being happy, so he brought the jade box containing the medicinal herbs and placed this drop of medicinal liquid in it, but the medicinal liquid seemed to be quenched by the spiritual fire and had a special state, condensing but not dispersing.
Quenching the medicinal liquid sounded very simple, but when Li Lingxu did it, he realized how difficult it was.
Although his own realm has reached the middle stage of Tianyuan, he is one point stronger than ordinary innate masters, but the aura in his body is not endless.
Just after refining six medicinal materials, Li Lingxu felt that his aura was about to run out.
Xiaoyun's phantom was sitting on the bed at the moment, playing with some strange things, and said casually: "Rest for a while and recover your aura." ”
Li Lingxu also stopped the idea of refining, and the aura in his body was not enough for him to refine the next medicinal material, and began to sit cross-legged on the bed, absorbing the weak aura between heaven and earth.
Xiao Yun saw that the aura here was inferior to that of the Lingyun Sect, so he said, "Little brother, I will pass on to you a set of methods for arranging the Spirit Gathering Array to help you quickly absorb the spiritual energy." ”
Li Lingxu was overjoyed, and hurriedly listened to Xiaoyun talk about the method of arranging the formation.
However, after listening, Li Lingxu became listless: "This Spirit Gathering Array still needs spirit stones as array eyes?"
Xiao Yun patted his head, the aura here is so thin, presumably the spirit stone is also very lacking, so he said: "You can also replace it with others, you can also use this token." ”
Li Lingxu didn't hesitate at the moment, and used the long sword in the storage bag to carve a wonderful pattern on the ground, which was crooked and twisted, and it looked weird.
However, when Li Ling's virtual carving was completed, he threw the token engraved with Ling Yun into the eye of the array, and in just a moment, the aura of the Zhou Yu space seemed to be pulled and surged towards the big array.
Li Lingxu's face was overjoyed, and he didn't hesitate, hurriedly sat down in the big array, and began to recover.
And it seems that most of the people in the entire Fenglin Village have no sense of such a rapid flow of aura, and this part of the people is a part of the people with ordinary qualifications who cannot become qi refiners.
As night fell, Li Lingxu woke up from his meditative state, feeling the abundant aura in his body, and it seemed that his cultivation had taken another step forward, and he couldn't imagine that the aura consumed would be replenished again, and there would be such a miraculous effect.
Xiao Yun played for a while, feeling bored, and at this moment he also returned to the token, and Li Lingxu began to refine the remaining medicinal materials again.
It wasn't until a touch of fish belly white was gradually revealed in the sky that Li Lingxu quenched all these medicinal materials into medicinal liquid.
