Chapter 8: The Unfathomable Old Man
Ling Yue didn't know that Lin Yi wanted to kill himself, even if he knew it, he laughed it off, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
At this time, he was sitting at a bus stop waiting for the bus to the city center.
He decided that he still had to buy some medicinal herbs, the effect of the foundation building spiritual liquid was to increase the strength of the body and dredge the meridians, and it didn't have much effect on cultivation.
It didn't take long for Ling Yue to come to the city center and find a Chinese medicine store called "Hongyaotang".
Pushing open the finger-thick glass door, a cool breeze hits.
A young woman in a purple cheongsam was looking at a book behind the counter and felt that there was an extra person at the door, the cheongsam woman glanced at it, and then set her eyes on the book again.
"Catch medicine or see a doctor?"
The cheongsam woman looked very casual, and her speech was even more casual, no matter what, Ling Yue was also a guest!
Ling Yue didn't pay much attention to it, and went straight to the counter, only then did he see the face of the cheongsam woman clearly, although it was not as good as Su Yue's disaster for the country and the people, but it could be regarded as a beauty.
The standard melon seed face, a pair of red phoenix eyes seem to be shocking, and the figure is concave and convex, which looks even more hot and attractive against the backdrop of the cheongsam.
The snow-white long legs loom from the cheongsam, which is more ** and charming.
Ling Yue put the prescription prepared in advance on the counter and said, "That's all!"
The cheongsam woman glanced at the prescription and said indifferently: "You want seventeen kinds of medicinal materials, but there are only fourteen kinds in my store now, we don't have Fu Ling Fruit and Forging Body Grass, and we haven't even heard of it, and the last few snow lotus seeds are also sold out." ”
Ling Yue frowned when he heard the words of the cheongsam woman, he had already tried his best to lower the level of medicinal materials, but he still couldn't make it up.
There are even some medicinal herbs that they have never heard of, Fu Ling Fruit and Forging Body Grass can be seen everywhere in the fairy world, but they did not expect that it is difficult to find them on the earth.
Just as Ling Yue was hesitating to ask again, there was a coughing sound from the door next to him, and then the door was pushed open.
"Ahem...... Fu Ling Fruit, Forging Body Grass, young man, what are you doing it for?"
An old man with gray hair, a rickety body, and a cane walked out of the door, he was dressed in a Tang costume, his face was wrinkled, but his eyes were very bright, and they were not as yellow as other old men in their twilight years.
The moment the old man appeared, Ling Yue's eyes narrowed, and a sense of crisis came to his heart.
This old man is very strong!
This was Ling Yue's first feeling, so he walked closer to the door imperceptibly and stayed away from the old man.
"Grandpa, are you well? Just come out for a walk?" the cheongsam woman said angrily when she saw the old man.
"Don't get in the way!" The old man shook his head, signaling that he was fine, then looked at Ling Yue's vigilant appearance, smiled, and said, "Young man, don't be too nervous, answer my question just now, cough cough cough ......"
After speaking, the old man coughed violently again, looking as if he was really an old man with a sixtieth birthday.
But even so, Ling Yue still didn't take it lightly, and said, "The junior is not in good health, so come and buy some medicinal herbs to regulate your body." ”
The old man nodded, and said thoughtfully: "You are indeed not in good health, you look very strong, but there is a dead air in your body, you should really take care of it." ”
Hearing this, Ling Yue was even more vigilant, he didn't expect this old man's eyes to be so sharp, and he could see his physical condition at a glance.
"Young man, take it easy, the old decay won't do anything to you, and I can even buy you the Fu Ling Fruit. The old man said with a smile.
When Ling Yue heard this, he fell silent, how much can he believe what this old man said?
"Conditions?"
He is not a rookie, he has lived for more than 3,000 years, and how many ups and downs he has experienced, how can he relax his vigilance because of a few words from the old man.
And there is no free lunch in the world, he doesn't believe that the old man will help him for no reason.
"Hehe, you just have to tell me where this recipe came from. The old man laughed.
When Ling Yue heard this, he was silent for a while, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "This is something I accidentally discovered from the family library pavilion, and it records that the medicinal effect strengthens the body and dredges the meridians, so I came to buy the medicine and plan to give it a try." ”
Ling Yue knew very well that if he told the old man that it was a prescription written by himself, he was very sure that the old man would do it to himself, and forced himself to ask if there were any other prescriptions.
So when he answered, he also added "family", which vaguely showed that he was not alone, which made the old man have some scruples.
There are some Xiuzhen families in the Immortal Realm, presumably there should be similar existence on the earth, and he is very sure of this, because the old man has already proved this just now.
The old man will be very old next year, but his qi and blood are very sufficient, which shows that the old man may be similar to the existence of a cultivator, otherwise it is impossible to violate the laws of nature.
The second is the cheongsam woman who has been reading a book from beginning to end, the old man has not appeared Ling Yue has not noticed that the aura on the cheongsam woman is somewhat different from that of ordinary people, and her every breath is very orderly.
And she is called the old man's grandfather, which means that these two people are from the same family, so it is not difficult to deduce.
Sure enough, hearing Ling Yue's words, the old man pondered for a while, and said to the cheongsam woman: "Yunlan, go grab the medicine, and Fu Lingguo go to grandpa's room to get it." ”
The cheongsam woman's name was Qin Yunlan, and when she heard the old man's words, she reluctantly put down the book.
Ruo glanced at Ling Yue meaningfully, then nodded and turned to leave, thinking that he was going to get medicinal herbs.
After Qin Yunlan left, only Ling Yue's old man was left in the entire store, and the two of them were silent and looked at each other.
Suddenly, the old man raised his crutches and slashed at Ling Yue with a single blow.
There was a gap of five or six meters between the two people, and a one-meter crutch could not hit Ling Yue at all.
However, Ling Yue would not be stupid enough to think that the old man could not reach himself, and the moment the old man made a move, a qi blade flew towards him.
In a hurry, Ling Yue had no choice but to dodge the qi blade sideways.
Bang dang!
The glass door behind Ling Yue suddenly shattered, and there were shards of glass on the ground.
Energetic?!
Ling Yue looked at the old man coldly and said, "Old man, what do you mean?"
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, don't be angry, if you can dodge my blow, it means that you are also an ancient martial artist, and at least you are also a great achiever of internal strength, tell me! Which ancient martial arts family are you from?"
Ling Yue's face was expressionless, but there were slight waves in his heart.
"Ancient Martial Artist, is it a cultivator of this world?"
Seeing Ling Yue pondering, the old man didn't force it, smiled, and stopped talking, he knew that some hidden families were not allowed to mention their own family to outsiders, so he didn't expect Ling Yue to answer him.
It didn't take long for Qin Yunlan to come over with a box that had already been packed and handed it to Ling Yue at the old man's motion.
Ling Yue held the box, there were obviously more medicinal materials in it. glanced at the old man, thoughtful, and immediately understood.
The old man was showing kindness to himself.
Coming to the cashier, Ling Yue took out the 200,000 bank card that Lin Tianyi gave him and settled the bill on the credit card machine.
No more, no less, just two hundred thousand, as if he knew that Ling Yue would have so much money.
He knew that this was the old man's intention, and there were definitely more than 200,000 medicinal materials in his hands.
After thinking about it, Ling Yue still took out a bottle of diluted Zhuji Spirit Liquid from his backpack and put it on the cash register.
"I don't like to owe favors, this bottle of medicine should be enough to make up for the difference in the price of medicinal herbs. ”
After speaking, Ling Yue turned around and walked out of the store, but as soon as he stepped out, the old man's voice came again.
"The forging grass is not old, but if the young man is interested, he can go to the Bishui Heavenly Palace, where there will be an auction tonight, and there should be forging grass. ”
As soon as the words fell, a sound broke through the air, and a red invitation flew in.
Ling Yue didn't turn around, he raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, and the invitation was clamped.
"Thank you!"
The old man stroked his white beard, smiled, and said, "Yunlan, in the future, he will come to buy medicinal herbs." ”
Qin Yunlan was taken aback and said, "Grandpa, isn't this appropriate? ”
The old man said: "Believe grandpa, this is an investment, and it is an investment that will not lose money." ”
"Why are you so sure?" said Qin Yunlan.
"I think he is only in his early twenties, but he is already at the peak of his internal strength, and he will reach the artistic conception in a few days, the artistic conception martial artist of twenty-one and twelve, you don't know what it means, right?" the old man said.
Qin Yunlan heard her grandfather say that the young man just now was at the peak of her internal strength, her pupils shrank, and her face showed a look of disbelief, but this was said by her grandfather, so she couldn't help but believe it.
But how is this possible? A martial artist in his early twenties has not appeared for hundreds of years, and his father, uncle, and uncle, none of them broke through to the artistic conception in middle age.
It was she who had just reached it not long ago, and she was already twenty-eight years old, even so, she was recognized by the elders in the family as a rare genius in a hundred years.
Now that there is a martial artist who is younger than her, how talented must he be? She knows her grandfather's plan, this kind of person is either the core of a certain hidden family or sect, or there is a famous teacher behind him.
But no matter which one it is, it is worthy of her Qin family's friendship.
"Okay, grandpa, I got it. ”
The old man nodded, and then his gaze fell on the glass bottle that Ling Yue placed on the cash register.
Intrigued, he walked slowly to the cash register, picked up the glass bottle, pulled the stopper off, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he was speechless in shock.
