Chapter 23 Cai Mingyuan
It was getting dark, Ning Lan stood at the door of an inn, he quietly glanced at a hidden place behind him, sneered, and then strode into the inn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The shopkeeper, a guest room. Ning Lan walked to the counter, took out a spirit stone and threw it on the table.
"It turned out to be an immortal master, quickly take the immortal master to the 'Tianzi No. 1' room. As soon as the shopkeeper saw the spirit stone, he immediately said to the guy, there are often some foreign cultivators in his shop, and they use the spirit stone as room money without gold and silver, so he is very excited, after all, this spirit stone is enough to exchange for a lot of gold and silver.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ran quickly and walked upstairs with Ning Lan.
"Master Immortal, this is the best room in the store, please come in, if you have any orders, just shout. When he got to the door of the room, the young man spoke, and then left cautiously.
Ning Lan entered the room, it was really good, the decoration was extremely high-end, and after he closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed, his face became extremely gloomy.
Since he left Wanqifang, it didn't take long for him to notice that someone was following him, and the other party was refining qi in the middle of the middle of cultivation, although he was extremely careful, but he still did not escape his perception, no need to think that it must be Li Zihao who sent someone, after all, he had some trouble with Li Zihao in this Jiyu City.
"In the middle of Qi refining, you thought you were going to eat the master?" Ning Lan sneered, and then stopped thinking about the person who was stalking, the other party would let him follow him all the time if he wanted to, anyway, he didn't plan to leave Jiyu City for the time being.
Thinking of the matter of the Dan furnace, Ning Lan frowned deeply, and his face was full of helplessness, today he wandered around for a day, except for the Dan furnace in Wanqifang, there are only two Dan furnaces in the entire Jiyu City, including those stalls at the end of the street, and they are also two low-grade treasures, which do not meet the standards of the system at all, but he also heard a news, and it was precisely because of this news that he decided to stay in Jiyu City for a few more days.
In addition to the Lin family, there are four major Xiuzhen families in Jiyu City, among which the Cai family is the strongest, originally the Cai family was the weakest among the four families, but there was a highly talented alchemist, and the Cai family patriarch also had courage, and he actually spent a lot of money to buy a superb treasure alchemist for this genius alchemist despite the opposition of the elders in the clan, and this genius alchemist did not disappoint the patriarch, he relied on the best treasure pill furnace to make the alchemy success rate reach sixty percent.
With a steady stream of pills, the strength of the Cai family has been greatly improved, and the excess pills have also sold a lot of spirit stones, which naturally makes the other three families unbalanced and provoke trouble everywhere, the Cai family patriarch relies on the means of pills and spirit stones to gather a lot of loose cultivation, which makes the strength of the family more than double in an instant, and directly surpasses the other three, making the other three dare not act, and has also become the head of the four major families.
Of course, what Ning Lan is interested in is the Cai family's best treasure Dan furnace, I heard that the Cai family's best treasure Dan furnace is cast of copper fine, about seven feet high, weighing three thousand catties, and the treasure is not comparable to the spirit weapon, can not change the size, so it is inconvenient to carry, he estimates that the Dan furnace must be placed in a room of the Cai family.
"Find a way to go to Cai's house to see, if that Dan furnace can't meet the standards of the system, then there will be some play. Ning Lan muttered, and then began to cultivate, because the inn was not safe, so he did not devote himself to cultivation, but retained a trace of vigilance, once there was something disturbing, he could wake up instantly.
There was nothing to do all night, and Ning Lan opened his eyes early the next morning, he left the inn and walked straight towards the south of the city, the Cai family was in the south of the city, the other three were in the other three directions, and the Lin family lived in the city.
About half an hour, Ning Lan arrived in the south of the city, the courtyard of the Cai family is very large, covering an area of several acres, so it is easy to find, he just walked to the door of Cai's house, there was an interesting scene, a man in his thirties was blasted out of the Cai family, the other party was in the late stage of Qi refining, his face was angry, there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and he was holding an elixir in his hand.
"Get out, you actually dare to come to the Cai family to cheat, if it weren't for the kindness of my young master, I would have broken your dog's leg!" A man who looked like a steward walked out of Cai's house, he pointed at the man and scolded, Ning Lan found that he couldn't see through the cultivation of this housekeeper, which couldn't help but make him shocked, a steward actually had a foundation building period or even a higher cultivation.
"Your young master said that he wanted the Seven Star Flower, I brought the Seven Star Flower, you don't know it yourself, and you actually said that my Seven Star Flower is fake, what a Cai family, and the behavior is really admirable. ”
"Hmph, Seven Star Flower, Seven Leaves and Seven Stars, do you have seven leaves in this flower? Can you have seven stars? Get out, I'll break your dog's leg if your tongue is dry!" The steward looked angry and wanted to make a move on the man, but he glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and finally held back his anger and said, although he said it to the man, it was obviously explained to the onlookers, and Ning Lan also happened to be in the crowd of onlookers.
He carefully looked at the elixir in the man's hand, there was only a bare leaf, the leaves were black and there were mottled white spots on it, but this unsightly elixir contained a rich aura, he looked at the root of the elixir and immediately revealed the color of the elixir, the root of the elixir that was tightly held by the man had seven black grass grains the size of mung beans.
"I'm the Seven Star Flower!" the man insisted that he was the Seven Star Flower.
"Okay, just as you are a seven-star flower, but what my young master wants is a seven-star flower with seven leaves and seven stars, not you, you better go." After speaking, the steward wanted to walk towards the house, but was stopped by the man.
The man glared at the other party angrily, and said unrelentingly: "I'll leave like this when I was injured?"
"How are you doing?" said the steward smirked angrily and walked straight towards the man.
"Either buy me or kill me. The man said firmly.
"Everyone saw it, it was this kid who was bent on death, how could I not fulfill him!" After speaking, the housekeeper of the Cai family used his spiritual power and slapped it towards the man's heavenly spirit cover, who knew that the man didn't hide, just looked at the other party quietly.
"Wait!"
With a loud shout, the Cai family steward immediately stopped, there were many people here, and it was really difficult for him to kill the man, otherwise it would damage the reputation of the Cai family, of course, if there was no loud shout, he would never stop in order to take care of his face.
The Cai family steward and the man both looked for prestige, and when they saw Yu Hao, the former frowned, and the latter was puzzled.
It was naturally Ning Lan who stopped him, he saw that the two of them were looking at him, so he stood up generously, nodded kindly to the man, and then looked at the steward of the Cai family and said, "This senior, that Taoist friend's is indeed the Seven Star Flower." ”
"Hehe, it seems that you are his accomplice, did you expect that I would not dare to kill the two of you?" said the Cai family steward with a raised brow.
"Senior, I'm just talking about things, if the Cai family is really so domineering, then I have nothing to say. Ning Lan shrugged his shoulders and said, he also knew the ins and outs of the matter by listening to the whispers of the onlookers just now, so he felt that this was an opportunity, maybe he could enter the Cai family and take a look at the superb treasure Dan furnace.
It turned out that the young master of the Cai family, that is, the genius alchemist, wanted to refine an elixir but was short of the elixir of the Seven Star Flower, although the Seven Star Flower was just an ordinary elixir, but it had disappeared for many years, and some people even said that it was extinct, and the young master of the Cai family had no choice but to let out the rumors, as long as anyone could take out a Seven Star Flower, he would give whoever had the best treasure, so there was this scene now.
"Do you know what the Seven Star Flower is, but it looks like his elixir?" the steward snorted.
When Ning Lan was about to speak, a handsome man in his twenties walked out of Cai's house, wearing a feather crown and a brocade robe, and his demeanor was full of spirit, he looked at the man holding the seven-star flower and Ning Lan, frowned slightly, looked at the steward and said, "Why is he still here?"
"Young Master..."The steward muttered a few words in the other party's ear in a low voice, and at this time, Ning Lan also knew the identity of this person from the mouths of the onlookers, the young master of the Cai family, the genius alchemist Cai Mingyuan.
After Cai Mingyuan listened, he looked Ning Lan up and down, and said gently: "This Daoist friend should not be an accomplice with him, but I'm curious why Daoist friend insists that this person is holding the Seven Star Flower in his hand?"
Cai Mingyuan has a good attitude, at least a lot stronger than the steward, Ning Lan is also comfortable when he hears it, he looked at Cai Mingyuan and said: "Seven Star Flowers, one leaf grows one leaf every ten years, one leaf produces stars in twenty years, one leaf and one star in thirty years, and it takes two hundred and ten years to grow to seven leaves and seven stars, am I right?"
"Yes, although I have heard a lot of Seven Star Flowers, it is really rare to know as much as Daoyou. Cai Mingyuan glanced at Ning Lan in surprise, and then said: "But the elixir in his hand is not a little different from the Seven Star Flower, why did Daoyou say that it is also a Seven Star Flower." ”
Ning Lan felt more and more comfortable in her heart, although this Cai Mingyuan was the young master of the Cai family and a genius alchemist, but the other party was gentle and elegant, far from the sense of conceit that could not be defeated and domineering, nor did he have the kind of arrogant and domineering young master.
"That Daoist friend is indeed a seven-star flower in his hand, once the seven-star flower grows seven-leaf and seven-star flowers, if no one picks them, a seven-star grass grain will be condensed every fifty years, and at the same time, it will also be one leaf and one star, and the medicinal power of that seven-star grass grain is even stronger than a seven-star flower with seven leaves and seven stars, and what that Daoist friend has in his hand is a seven-star flower that is more than five hundred and sixty years old!"
As soon as Ning Lan's words came out, the audience was shocked, the Great Western Regions lacked aura, and ordinary elixirs could only be picked up for a hundred years, and it was rare to be able to grow to two or three hundred years, let alone five hundred years, even Cai Mingyuan couldn't speak, he carefully looked at the seven-star flower in the man's hand, and couldn't help but believe Ning Lan's words.
"It's Mingyuan who is shallow in learning, and Daoyou's knowledge of Dancao really makes Mingyuan admire. Cai Mingyuan said sincerely, he is a genius alchemist, and he knows a lot of knowledge about elixir and spirit grass, but he doesn't know that there are seven star flowers and seven star grass grains, so he admires Ning Lan very much.
"The Seven Star Flower has disappeared for many years, and it is normal for Daoists not to know. Ning Lan said modestly.
At this time, Cai Mingyuan walked up to the man holding the seven-star flower and said apologetically: "It's Mingyuan's clumsiness, don't blame you for offending Daoyou, this bottle of 'Snow Melt Pill' should be Mingyuan's apology to Daoyou." ”
"What? It's actually 'Snow Melt Pill'!"
"Yes, the healing elixir of the foundation building period and the golden pill stage, each one will cost ten thousand spirit stones. ”
“...”
The onlookers were all surprised when they heard Xue Rongdan, and even the man with the seven-star flower in his hand was slightly moved.
