"Uh...... Actually, I just want to nourish the Qi Pill. ”

Shen Shi looked honest, but when he looked up, Zhong Qinglu looked disapplieving, and he didn't have the slightest look of belief, so he had to sigh and said, "In the Qingyu Ji Dantang shop, a Qi Nourishing Pill is sold for ten spirit crystals, which is too expensive, I originally wanted to ask if it could be cheaper from your side." ”

Zhong Qinglu thought back to what happened last night, nodded slowly, and thought that he had come for this last night, but then sneered and said, "That's weird, obviously a Qi Nourishing Pill can sell ten spirit crystals, why should I sell you cheaply, I don't have such a good relationship with you." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said, "If you refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, if you don't take it yourself, Dantang will buy it back, and one will only give you the price of five spirit crystals?"

Zhong Qinglu raised his head, his face showed a little surprise, and said, "You actually know this." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Actually, this is not a confidential matter, just go to the Qingyuji shop and say that I have a Qi Nourishing Pill and want to exchange for some spirit crystals, so they naturally said it." ”

Zhong Qinglu pursed her lips, looking like she accepted Shen Shi's statement, but then shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe that you don't know that there will often be failures in alchemy, and it still doesn't make sense for you to give me the spirit crystal for alchemy." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a little longer this time, and then slowly spoke: "If I say that I am optimistic about you and have a good relationship with the possible Great Alchemist in the future in advance, do you believe it or not?"

Zhong Qing showed up and did not change his color, and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I actually only thought of this matter temporarily, and I went to look for you before, really just to buy some Qi Nourishing Pills cheaply." I've been hunting demons on Demon Island these days, but my path is too shallow, and my spiritual power is only enough for me to use three water archery techniques, and then it will take me six hours to recover my spiritual power, and I can't do anything in one day. But if there is a Qi Nourishing Pill, it only takes two hours for me to recover, so that I can hunt demons again once or twice a day, and the harvest will definitely increase. ”

Zhong Qinglu's face changed slightly, and for the first time, his expression when he looked at Shen Shi was a little more solemn, and he said slowly: "No wonder I saw you condense the water arrow just now...... You're only at the middle level of Qi Refining Realm now, and you dare to go to the Demon Island to hunt demons? If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Red Board's mission!"

Shen Shi looked at the night, nodded, and said, "Yesterday was the first time I went to Demon Island to hunt demons, and the harvest was two iron-armored armadillo bone armors, exchanged for four spirit crystals, if there is a Qi Nourishing Pill, this income should be at least doubled." He glanced at Zhong Qinglu, only to see that she was already concentrating at the moment, her eyes were flashing, and she was obviously thinking about something, under the moonlight, he suddenly felt that although this girl had slightly fat cheeks, she seemed to look good.

"I've inquired, refining a furnace of Qi Nourishing Pill requires four kinds of spiritual materials, and it costs about ten spirit crystals to purchase it, if you don't consider the failure of refining, the Dantang shop is equivalent to selling it at five times the price, which is really profitable. After saying that, he looked very envious.

Zhong Qinglu snorted and said, "Okay, even if I admit that you have a point and am willing to cooperate with you, have you thought about it, what if you buy spiritual materials for my spirit crystal, but after refining it?"

Shen Shi was silent for a while, and said: "If you fail, you will naturally lose all your money, but if you succeed once, it will be five times the profit." I think it's worth a gamble. ”

Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt a little angry, and frowned: "What to bet on, you have thought clearly, this bet is not on yourself, it is ...... on me" Her voice suddenly lowered, feeling that the meaning of what she said was a little weird, and her cheeks were slightly red.

However, Shen Shi didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Yes, I also know that this seems a bit ridiculous, and it is indeed your alchemy ability, ability, and even ...... Your luck. It's just that have you ever thought that if this is a gamble between the two of us, in fact, the chances of us winning will continue to grow. ”

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and said, "What?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Every time you refine the elixir, will you become more proficient? Every time I go to the Demon Island, will I be more familiar with the demon beasts? Ten days and a half months, three and a half years, will the two of us have to improve our Taoism? Will the two of us do things better gradually?" He said leisurely with a little yearning, " Maybe one day in the future, you will finally fully master the alchemy technique of Qi Nourishing Pill, and you will refine it every time, and I will harvest more in one day on that demon island, come back and exchange it for spirit crystals, and then buy more spiritual materials for you to refine, and you will ...... after refining it."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it......" Zhong Qinglu shook her head violently, but at this moment, her eyes were shining, and her whole person's expression seemed to be different from before, obviously tempting.

Shen Shi smiled: "How?"

Zhong Qinglu gritted her teeth and said, "Of course you said it sounded good, if things really want to be like this, I am naturally willing, but without you, I can ...... myself."

"You can't. Shen Shi said lightly.

Zhong Qinglu sank his face this time and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "Alchemy costs too much, especially at the beginning of learning, you alone have to cultivate and buy spiritual materials, and the probability of failure is still high, just make a mistake once, I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months or even more to gather the spiritual materials needed for the next alchemy, am I right?"

Zhong Qinglu stopped talking.

Shen Shi looked at her and said, "If it goes on for such a long time, no matter how talented you are, you can only waste your life under the restrictions of this spirit crystal." The reason why so few of the senior brothers in the Lingxiao Sect Dan Hall could become alchemists, even after they arrived at the Ning Yuan Realm, was because they had wasted a lot of time on this from the very beginning. Do you want to be like them?"

Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath, this time he really re-examined the person in front of him with a new look, and after a long time, his face was solemn, and he said word by word: "Why did you choose me?"

Shen Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "There are several reasons, the first ...... I disturbed your alchemy last night, and I also caused you to break the Dan furnace. ”

Zhong Qinglu snorted and glared at him.

Shen Shi laughed dryly and said, "Second, although this method was thought of by me temporarily, within the sect, none of the many senior brothers in the Dan Hall who have achieved a little success in alchemy will pay attention to me, and among the rookie disciples, you are the first to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill." If I don't choose you, will I go find the other shit?"

Zhong Qinglu laughed out loud, but then immediately made a straight face, raised his head slightly, and said coldly: "What nonsense, those are all fellow disciples, they just don't practice alchemy as many times as I do, maybe in the future, how many people will achieve far better than me in alchemy!"

Shen Shi shook his head with a smile, and then after being silent for a moment, he said: "Finally, there is one more point, it is actually ......" The look on his face suddenly became a little strange, as if he was nostalgic for something, Zhong Qinglu saw that he suddenly interrupted his words, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is it?"

Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, "My father is a businessman, do you know?"

Zhong Qinglu shook his head blankly, Shen Shi smiled, his voice was a little nostalgic, and said: "My father told me before that the most important thing in doing business is vision, you can see what others can't see, and if you catch it in advance, you will be able to make a lot of money in the future." ”

Zhong Qinglu thought for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "Do you mean that if you catch me, you will be able to make a lot of money in the future?"

Shen Shi smiled, shook his head, and then slowly walked in front of Zhong Qinglu, looking at him, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be so bright that the moonlight seemed to be reflected in his eyes, Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt a little inexplicably nervous, subconsciously took half a step back, and then listened to the young man in front of him say slowly:

"Whether you will achieve something in alchemy in the future, no one can say, but now you are just starting out, but it is the most difficult and most needy time for you to help you, I think, this should be the time when others can't see it, I think you can gamble." What about you, do you want to gamble with me?"

Zhong Qinglu didn't dare to look directly into Shen Shi's bright eyes for a moment, as if his gaze was too dazzling and dazzling, and it hurt her. But after a while, she stubbornly raised her head, stared at Shen Shi, and said loudly:

"What don't I dare, isn't it all the spirit crystals you sent anyway!"

Shen Shi smiled, nodded, and then stretched out his palm to Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qinglu glanced at his palm and said, "What are you doing?"

"High five!"

Zhong Qinglu sneered, glared at him, and said, "Who wants to touch hands with you stinky man!"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, embarrassed, smiled and slowly retracted his hand, and suddenly heard Zhong Qinglu over there say, "Stretch out your hand." ”

"Huh?" Shen Shi's hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't know why, and he couldn't understand what this strange-tempered girl meant for a while. I saw Zhong Qinglu suddenly stretch out his palm, but he slapped the back of his hand hard.

"Oh?" Shen Shi was startled, the back of his hand ached faintly, and he was stunned, "What are you doing?"

"High-five, that's it. ”

"Okay......"

※※※

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the silent beach in the dead of night, elongating two slender shadows.

In this quiet night, in the night breeze of the waves, it seemed that only the words of the two of them were echoing faintly, drifting around like light smoke, and finally dissipating into the endless night sky. I don't know if many years from now, will anyone remember this night and remember the original agreement, eh...... Well, the original business.

Who will really remember the words of his youth for a lifetime, and who really knows?

said some basic things in the future, in fact, most of them were Shen Shi saying, Zhong Qinglu listened most of the time, such as Shen Shi giving him a spirit crystal that was enough to buy alchemy spirit materials within a few days, how many qi nourishing pills he would give him after refining, etc., Zhong Qinglu listened carefully, but it didn't seem to be particularly clear in his mind, anyway, as long as he remembered that he just had to do alchemy.

After saying these trivia, seeing that it was not early, the two turned around and walked in the direction of the cave.

Stepping on the sand of the beach, making a thin sound, Zhong Qinglu suddenly had a feeling that was not very real, he was originally in a depressed mood when he came out tonight and came to the beach to relax, how could he have such an agreement inexplicably when he went back?

But the conditions he put forward ...... It's really good, every word seems to pinch my pulse, and I can't help but not agree.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhong Qinglu suddenly heard Shen Shi beside him ask, "Senior Sister Zhong, how much spirit crystal is your Dan furnace worth last night?"

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Shen Shi to suddenly ask about this, but he still replied: "Two hundred spirit crystals, the Dan furnace is the most expensive, even if I am the smallest." ”

Shen Shi looked at it and seemed to think about it, and said, "But I think that so many spirit crystals, with your income in the Dan Hall, plus you have to buy spiritual materials to refine your own pills on weekdays, it seems that it is not enough to buy such an expensive Dan furnace?"

Zhong Qinglu said disapprehantly: "It's not enough, so I borrowed half from others." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is so rich?"

Zhong Qinglu shrugged with a smile, it seemed that after this night of talking, the relationship between her and Shen Shi was faintly close, and even this kind of small action naturally sat out, and said with a smile: "I don't know anyone else very well, it's my cousin Qingzhu." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then was silent. The two walked side by side, Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that the shadow in front of him had somehow covered a small piece of beach sand, shrouding it in darkness.

It's dark and dark, as if you can't see it at all.

(It's tiring to stay up late to watch the ball, is it better today...... PS: Somehow, I always think that this year's Brazilian team looks like a dick, does anyone feel the same way?)
