Chapter 33: The Greed for Money
After Qing Lao took Ye Haoran to turn left and right for a long time, he came to the door of the alchemy room set up by the Qingyu Commercial Bank, which had been separated from the building of the Qingyu Commercial Bank and was a place where rockeries gathered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe alchemy room is not located in the rockery above the ground. Instead, it is under a rockery, and each alchemy room is carved into the rock underground. And when Ye Haoran came here, he obviously felt the rise in temperature, and couldn't help frowning and said secretly: "Could it be that there is also a source of fire in the center of the earth under the ground here?"
Qing Lao seemed to see Ye Haoran's doubts, so he said with a smile: "Ye Daoyou don't need to be surprised, there is such a high temperature here, not because there is a fire in the center of the earth that naturally gathers in the ground, but because the predecessors of our Qingyu Trading House have collected the fire from the center of the earth from a place where volcanoes gather, with their supreme cultivation. And placed it in this place hundreds of feet underground, and then worked together with several seniors of our Qingyu Trading House to set up a fire-gathering formation, so that it could be dispersed to every alchemy room underground for people to use for alchemy. ”
Ye Haoran said with admiration: "Qingyu Commercial Bank has such a big stroke, which is really admirable. ”
Ye Daoyou praised it. Although Qing Lao said this, the smug look on his face was obvious.
Then he took out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Haoran and said: "There are two elixirs you need to refine here, a total of two, the time is two days, as long as you successfully refine one, you will be considered to have passed." ”
Ye Haoran took the storage bag and said, "Do your best." ”
"Okay, then I'll take you to the alchemy room. As he spoke, Qing Lao invited Ye Haoran to walk towards the door of the alchemy room.
"I'm tired. ”
Ye Haoran also showed a respectful look and bowed to the old man. Then he followed him into the door of the alchemy room.
As soon as he entered the gate, Ye Haoran saw a stone staircase from top to bottom, and a faint white light was emitting from below.
Along the way, Ye Haoran found that the layout of each alchemy room here was very similar to the alchemy room he had in the Spirit Pill Hall in Danzhen before, but Ye Haoran naturally didn't know why.
Qing Lao took Ye Haoran to stop in front of an alchemy room where no one was shown on the stone door, and handed Ye Haoran a golden token and said, "Ye Daoyou will refine it in this alchemy room." Two days later, I'm here to hear from you. ”
Ye Haoran picked up the golden token and looked at it, and felt that it should be the same thing as the red jade token of the Spirit Pill Palace, which was used to control the formation in the alchemy room.
Then he bowed respectfully to the old man, and then pushed open the stone door and walked in.
The furnishings in the alchemy room were extremely simple, and there was nothing left except for a one-person-high alchemy copper furnace in the center and a night pearl on the wall for lighting.
The fire in the center of the earth in the Dan furnace was pale yellow, and it was not as hot as the red flame that Ye Haoran had seen in the Spirit Pill Hall.
Ye Haoran sat cross-legged in front of the Dan furnace, and the pale yellow flame swayed, so that Ye Haoran's figure was also attached with a faint yellow. Then he leaned the golden token on his forehead, opened the protective formation of this alchemy room, and then used his divine sense to probe, and found that there was nothing suspicious, so he poured out the contents of the storage bag given by the old man.
"Ping Pong ......"
There was a crisp sound of the jade bottle hitting the ground, followed by a large pair of colorful elixirs falling to the ground, exuding a fragrant medicinal fragrance.
Ye Haoran looked at the elixirs placed on the ground and secretly marveled, there were more than twenty kinds of elixirs, and each of them was very valuable.
Ye Haoran roughly calculated the value of these elixirs, and found that the value of each elixir was also around two thousand lower-grade spirit stones. There are two copies in total, which means that there are more than 4,000 lower-level spirit stones piled here.
At this time, the corners of Ye Haoran's mouth curled slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this is also a beautiful difference." ”
Ye Haoran said this, naturally there is a reason for him. In the past four years, Ye Haoran has been very good at refining elixirs, and most of the problems are at the time of Ning Dan. So he thought he could embezzle a little.
Then Ye Haoran sat cross-legged, and after throwing out the distracting thoughts in his heart, he took out the pill that Qing Lao gave himself and showed it to him, and then began to control the flame in the alchemy furnace, and put in an elixir to start refining.
......
A day later, Ye Haoran's surroundings were already filled with all kinds of large and small jade bottles, and among them was Ye Haoran refining all the elixir essences in one copy. And the remaining elixir that had not been refined was naturally put into his storage bag by Ye Haoran.
But this was not the time to go out, in order not to make the old man suspicious, Ye Haoran took the remaining day to begin to recover his vitality that had almost dried up due to refining the elixir.
Another day later, Ye Haoran had already recovered to his peak, but he pretended to be about to run out of vitality, and even his cheeks, which had become ruddy, were controlled by him and turned pale.
After that, he put all the jade bottles on the ground into the storage bag that Qing Lao gave him, then got up and pretended to be extremely weak, opened the formation, pushed open the stone door and walked out.
At this time, Qing Lao had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and as soon as he saw Ye Haoran coming out, he stepped forward in surprise.
But as soon as he approached Ye Haoran's side, Ye Haoran pretended to be weak under his feet, he hurriedly held Ye Haoran up, and asked with a look of disappointment, "Did you fail?"
Ye Haoran showed a confident smile and said: "Forgive me, after spending two copies of the elixir, it is finally refined, only because it is very small in the lower cultivation, so the vitality is lost, it will be like this." ”
Ye Haoran pretended to be weak as he said, and at the same time took out the storage bag that had been filled with the elixir essence and put it in the palm of Qing Lao's hand.
Qing Lao put away the storage bag with a happy expression, and took out a pill from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to Ye Haoran and said: "Ye Daoyou has worked hard, this is the first-level high-grade Huiyuan Pill refined by our own alchemist of the Qingyu Commercial Bank, take the next one, and you can quickly recover your peak if you have cultivated it during the foundation building period." ”
Ye Haoran still had an extremely weak expression, took the Hui Yuan Dan and said respectfully: "Then thank you for your elixir." ”
Qing Lao showed a righteous and stern expression and said: "Ye Daoyou is too modest, you do things for my Qingyu Commercial Bank, how can you treat you badly, don't say it yet, I'll take you to the guest room to recuperate first." ”
Although Ye Haoran pretended to be weak, he was very satisfied with the hospitality of this Qingyu Trading House in his heart, so he respectfully said as if he were obedient: "Then there is Lao Qing's senior." ”
......
There is a gorgeously decorated palace behind the rockery, and Ye Haoran is resting in the guest room specially arranged by the Qingyu Commercial House in this palace at this time.
This is only one of the surprises, the second is that Qing Lao told Ye Haoran that the Qingyu Trading House had news about the whereabouts of the "Arrogant Beast", and promised that after Dancheng, he would hand it over to him.
The young man who left from Ye Haoran's resting place galloped all the way to the upper floors of the main hall of the Qingyu Commercial Bank. The decoration on this floor is more ornate than the one underneath, but it looks like a large hall. But it's mainly pink, and at first glance it's a place where a woman stays, and it's very quiet.
At the top of the main hall sat two women with good figures, and one person sitting in the middle seat was dressed in red gauze, with a jade hairpin on his head, and his face was like jade, and a thousand green silk hung down his shoulders, which looked like a long charm. On his side, a person dressed in black and wearing a black veil on his face, although he could not see his face clearly, he did not lose his graceful color. On the wall behind them, a rune carved from a green jade merchant house covered the entire wide wall, looking very ancient
Qing Lao respectfully stepped forward and bowed to the woman sitting in the middle of the room, and said, "Meet the master, I have already done what you have explained, and I will start alchemy in three days." ”
The woman in the red gauze smiled slightly, and her appearance was captivating. Then she said in a voice like a silver bell: "The old man has worked hard, so let's wait for three days to start." ”
