Chapter 17: Elixir Seeds
"This fellow Daoist, do you need to 'gather qi and disperse'? to ensure that the price is fair, there is no lower price than me in the entire market!"
As soon as Ning Lan walked into the market, a stall owner beckoned to him, he looked up and down, this stall owner was about twenty years old, cultivated in the middle of qi refining, wearing a cyan robe, embroidered with the word "moon" on his chest, and the other party spread a piece of cloth on the ground, on which there were a few small paper bags, which should be what the other party said in his mouth.

"What's the use of 'gathering qi and dispersing'?" Ning Lan asked, looking at this Yue Hua Sect disciple.
Li Yun's face was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he actually met a "Xiaobai", today he must fool around, no, it is to popularize common sense, he believes that this "Xiaobai" will definitely buy a few packs of "Gathering Qi Disperse" under the grateful.
But he was a little puzzled, the other party didn't even know how to cultivate to the middle stage of qi refining?
"Under Li Yun, he is a disciple of the Yuehua Sect, I don't know what faction his friend inherits?" Li Yun arched his hand and said, as a disciple of the Yuehua Sect, the largest sect in Qingmi Mountain, Li Yun was very proud, and Ning Lan didn't even know about 'gathering qi and dispersing', he had already been regarded by him as a poor cultivator, and he didn't know what kind of **** luck he had taken to cultivate to the middle stage of qi refining.
"It turned out to be the senior brother of the Yuehua Sect, in Xia Ning Xiaoxuan, a scattered cultivator!" Ning Lan also arched his hand, he was very puzzled in his heart, Wang Youliang cultivated in the middle of Qi refining, and the same is true for Li Yun, could it be that they also joined these factions?
Hearing that Ning Lan was a loose cultivator, Li Yun showed a sure look, he looked at Ning Lan and said, "Senior Brother Ning, this 'gathering qi and dispersing' is a good thing for us, eating some when cultivating can allow us to absorb the aura of heaven and earth more quickly, and get twice the result with half the effort!"
When Ning Lan heard this, isn't this the same effect as the "Qi Gathering Pill", how can he still come out with a Qi Gathering Pill?
"Senior Brother Li, the 'Qi Gathering Pill' is also effective!"
"Hey, have you ever heard of 'Gathering Qi Dispersion'?" Li Yun said in surprise, perhaps feeling that his tone was a little wrong, he continued: "The effect of 'Gathering Qi Pill' is better, but the price is not acceptable to ordinary people, and only those direct disciples of the sect can use it. ”
Ning Lan really didn't know this, if it was really as Li Yun said, then Wang Youliang still had a backer in Baihemen? Thinking of this, he secretly warned himself that after he went back, he would definitely check Wang Youliang's things well, and some of the obvious marks could not be used anymore no matter what.
According to Li Yun, the disciples of the big sect are not as beautiful as they seem, there are many disciples of the sect, and the competition is quite fierce, the disciples with good talent get more resources, and the disciples with average talent can only receive a little resources, which is not enough for cultivation at all, so they can only complete the tasks of the sect, or go to collect some elixirs in exchange for the corresponding resources to cultivate.
"Senior Brother Li, I don't have a spirit stone on me, I'm here to see the world today..."Ning Lan looked at Li Yundao with an apologetic face, he had the spirit stone, but he didn't want it to "gather qi and disperse".
"Hmph, you don't have a spirit stone, you don't want to get out of here!" Li Yun's face darkened, and after speaking, he continued to sit in front of the stall without looking at Ning Lan.
Ning Lan sneered, and then walked towards the stall inside, after inquiring about so many things, he didn't bother to bother with Li Yun, the other party was just a lowly pitiful worm in a big faction.
Li Yun's voice just now was not loud, and many stall owners around him glanced here, knowing that Ning Lan did not have a spirit stone, and these stall owners were too lazy to pay attention to him.
"This senior brother, how do you sell this elixir seed?" Ning Lan walked to a stall selling elixir, more than a dozen elixirs were placed there, and there were some seed-like things next to it, he looked at the stall owner and asked.
The stall owner was a man of about thirty, the other party's cultivation was higher than him, it was the late stage of qi refining, he glanced at Ning Lan with disdain, and then he was busy with other things.
Ning Lan smiled bitterly and continued to walk inside, there were so many stalls here, he didn't believe that no one paid attention to him.
After walking a few steps, he stopped in front of a stall, which was empty, but there was a blank piece of paper with "Elixir Seeds" written on it, and the stall owner was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the little girl looked average, but her eyes were exceptionally clear, seeing him stop in front of the stall, the little girl was a little timid, but finally mustered up the courage to say: "Big brother, do you want elixir seeds?"
"Well, where is your seed?" Ning Lan glanced at the little girl in surprise, not expecting that she would be a mortal without any cultivation.
"The seeds are at my house, if you want to buy them, you can go back with me to get them. The little girl also knew that her way of selling was a bit excessive, and her face was slightly red after speaking.
Ning Lan frowned slightly, he just wanted to buy some seeds, and how could he have time to go back to the little girl's home, so he shook his head and walked inside.
"Big brother..."The little girl's expression was a little gloomy when she saw Ning Lan leaving, and she didn't know what to think, she gritted her teeth and screamed again.
Seeing Ning Lan turn around, she said timidly: "A spirit stone here can only buy a hundred seeds, I can sell you one hundred and fifty, and there are all common elixir seeds, which are much more complete than here." ”
"Then why don't you bring the seeds here to sell them?" Ning Lan said angrily.
When the little girl heard this, there seemed to be a fog in her eyes, and she didn't know if she really wanted to sell the seeds, or if she felt wronged and wanted to find someone to talk to, so she told Ning Lan the reason.
"In this case, you wait for me here, and when I go to buy some 'Buttercup Spiritual Water', I will go back with you. Ning Lan looked at the little girl and said.
"Thank you, big brother, I also have 'Buttercup Spiritual Water' at home, if you don't want much, big brother, I can also sell it to you cheaply. ”
"Okay, then let's go to your house. ”
The little girl's face was overjoyed, she glanced at Ning Lan gratefully, and then quickly put away the stall on the ground and walked towards the outside of Fang City with Ning Lan.
This little girl's name is Zhao Yu'er, her grandfather is a loose cultivator, a few days ago he went to the mountains to collect medicine and was accidentally seriously injured by a demon beast, if there is no healing pill to heal I'm afraid he won't live long, but a pill needs thirty spirit stones, and her grandfather doesn't have so many spirit stones at all.
Zhao Yu'er's grandfather has often set up stalls in Qingmifang City over the years, and has a good relationship with a disciple of Lingxudong, she knows all these things, and knows the name of her grandfather's friend, so she secretly ran to Fang City to borrow some spirit stones from the other party, if she hadn't been rescued by a kind casual cultivator halfway, she would have fallen off the cliff, and I don't know which demon beast's belly she entered.
When she arrived at Fang City, this person also found it, but the other party said that she didn't have any spirit stones, Zhao Yu'er was very disappointed, but she thought that there were still many elixir seeds collected by her grandfather at home, so she begged bitterly, and finally the person let her set up a stall in Fang Market for free for a few days.
Zhao Yu'er was a little girl with limited strength, so she didn't walk fast, and she also knew that this delayed Ning Lan a lot of time, so she kept apologizing all the way.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yu'er's feet twisted, and she fell to the ground, rubbing her ankles in pain.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ning, let's go!" Seeing Ning Lan turn around, her brows furrowed slightly, Zhao Yu'er was about to cry, she gritted her teeth and wanted to get up, but she fell to the ground again.
"Nonsense! Don't you see what your feet are swollen into?" Ning Lan frowned, and after finishing speaking, he walked up to him, looking at Zhao Yu'er's swollen ankles, he didn't know what to do.
"Brother Ning, I'm fine, you can go, don't be angry, it's coming soon!" Zhao Yu'er was afraid that Ning Lan would be angry and leave, so she said with a crying voice.
"I'm not in a hurry, let's go slowly!" Ning Lan said, found a wooden stick and handed it to Zhao Yu'er, and then helped her to walk down the mountain.
I don't know if it hurts, or what, Zhao Yuer finally cried...
Originally, he could return to Zixian Mountain in one day, but it took him three days to get to Zhao Yu'er's house, but he was not dissatisfied.
Zhao Yu'er's home is at the foot of a remote mountain in the outermost part of Qingmi Mountain, where there are two thatched houses.
"Grandpa, I'm back!" Zhao Yu'er pushed open the door, her voice filled with joy, because she would soon be able to gather enough spirit stones to buy pills for her grandfather.
"Little Yu'er, what are you doing, grandpa is really worried to death!" A weak voice came from inside the room, and the words were reproachful.
Ning Lan walked into the house and saw that the room was extremely simple, only a bed, a table and chairs, and an old man with gray hair was lying on the bed, his face was sallow, his lips were pale without a trace of blood, and when he saw Ning Lan, he immediately showed a look of vigilance.
Zhao Yu'er told the old man the reason why he left in the past few days, the old man touched her head dotingly, and at the same time relaxed his vigilance, he looked at Ning Lan and said, "Thank you Xiaoyou for taking care of my stupid granddaughter along the way." ”
Ning Lan was polite, then looked at the old man and said, "Senior, I heard Zhao Yu'er say that you have elixir seeds and 'Buttercup Spiritual Water' here?"
"Yes, little fish, go and bring the seeds, and the bottle next to it. ”
Zhao Yu'er brought a small sack and a bottle more than five inches high, the sack contained a lot of elixir seeds, each species was wrapped separately in yellow paper, with the name of the elixir written on it, Ning Lan roughly counted, there were more than fifty kinds in total.
"Elixir seeds are not worth much, I have been keeping them all these years, since you need it, just watch it and take it. ”
Ning Lan opened a paper bag of "Green Qi Flower", there were more than a dozen seeds in it, these seeds looked extremely ordinary, but there was a faint aura in them carefully, he opened a few more packets and took a look, how many or few of these seeds were, but he only needed ten kinds of seeds, even if there was only one of each.
Selecting ten different elixir seeds and putting them into the storage bag together with the "Buttercup Spiritual Water", Ning Lan took out fifteen spirit stones and handed them to Zhao Yu'er, and when he came back, he also knew that there were eleven spirit stones left to buy the elixir, so he gave four more just in case.
"Xiaoyou, take the spirit stone quickly, you can send Xiao Yu'er back Old man, I am very grateful, how can I ask for your spirit stone again!" The old man saw Ning Lan take out the spirit stone, and hurriedly spoke.
"Grandpa, what should I do if you don't have a spirit stone?" Zhao Yu'er said hurriedly.
"Even if the injury is cured, grandpa, I don't have a few years to live, what does it matter if this treatment is not cured, quickly return the spirit stone to Ning Xiaoyou!"
"Grandpa..."
Seeing her grandfather's resolute attitude, Zhao Yu'er cried again, but handed the spirit stone to Ning Lan.
