Chapter 144: Trying the Medicine to Resist the Spirit Stone
About half a month later, Leng Xiao rushed to Cold Wind City.
Xu Yi and General Shen didn't know where they went, and they didn't pay much attention to Leng Xiao, and they had already parted ways.
This cold wind city is really big, Leng Xiao hurriedly walked inward, and the pedestrians in the city came and went, looking prosperous. He grabbed an old man and asked, "Old man, dare to ask where the Chinese medicine shop in the city is?"
The old man was also a very particular person, and immediately asked: "Dare to ask Xiaoyou whether it is a mortal medicine or a magic medicine?"
Leng Xiao couldn't help but answer: "Elixir." ”
When the old man heard this, he immediately pointed in a direction, but suddenly withdrew his hand, patted his head, and said: "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the old man here for a while. ”
Leng Xiao couldn't help nodding, after about a stick of incense, the old man came in a hurry, his steps were fast, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he looked extremely tough.
Seeing that he was carrying two packs of things in his hand, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, Leng Xiao's heart suddenly dawned, it turned out that he was holding a random person on the side of the street, and it was actually the main owner he was looking for.
The old man seems to be dressed ordinarily and looks extremely poor, but he has a foundation building and cultivation, and he is obviously not an ordinary person.
As he walked, he smiled and said to Leng Xiao: "Don't blame Xiaoyou, if you talk about medicine in this cold wind city, there are dozens of them, but none of them can compare to the medicinal materials of the old man's family, it's not that the old man brags, don't care about all the elixirs, but if the little friend can call the name, the old man will definitely be able to find it in the shop!"
Leng Xiao couldn't help but smile and asked: "Since the old man's pharmacy has all kinds of elixirs, why did you have to ask more questions before?"
The old man coughed dryly, he was vague and changed the topic, but in his heart he secretly said, how much money is only worth for medicine? If Leng Xiao came for ordinary medicine, how could he talk nonsense with Leng Xiao?
"I wonder what kind of elixir Xiaoyou wants to buy?"
Leng Xiao immediately reported three kinds of elixirs, and when the old man heard the first two, he frowned slightly, just because these two elixirs were extremely ordinary medicines and were not worth a few dollars.
But when Leng Xiao said the third elixir, the old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright color, and he patted Leng Xiao's shoulder again and again, looking extremely enthusiastic, and at the end, he confirmed: "Xiaoyou really wants the Cold Spring Fruit?"
"Really. ”
Seeing Leng Xiao nodded, the old man was already about to smile in his heart, this cold spring fruit is not widely used, it is only used to refine some elixirs that are biased towards yin and cold, but it can also be regarded as valuable, just because this cold spring fruit only has a chance to be born in the land of extreme yin, it belongs to the kind of elixir that is expensive, has a narrow purpose, and has been put on the table for several years without anyone caring about it.
At this moment, when the old man saw Leng Xiao, it was as if he had seen his relatives, and when he saw Leng Xiao, he couldn't help but shush and ask for warmth.
Suddenly, his eyes swept back and forth on Leng Xiao and Yao Xinyu, as if he said unintentionally: "Although this cold spring fruit is not a valuable thing, it also needs three hundred and twenty-one spirit stones. ”
"The three-flavor elixir will receive a total of 400 spirit stones from the little friend!"
As soon as his voice fell, he was observing Leng Xiao's actions, and saw that Leng Xiao's face remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly: "Those are the four spirit crystals." ”
The old man was skeptical, but Leng Xiao actually wanted to settle the bill with spirit crystals, which made him happy in his heart, thinking that he had met a big customer.
Although this Cold Wind City is not small, there are not many people who can buy elixir, and this is not a mortal, if you have a headache and brain fever, you have to go to the doctor for medicine.
As soon as the old man asked, Leng Xiao suddenly reacted after walking a few more steps, he was still wearing a woman's outfit at the moment!
It's just that this long shirt is stained with mud, and no one notices it for a while. And his own clothes and spirit crystals were all left in the Spirit Bird Valley.
As soon as he thought of this, Leng Xiao couldn't help asking: "Old man, I don't know if I can take credit?"
"No problem, Xiaoyou can take credit casually...... What, on credit, you want to pay on credit?" The old man was smiling, like a spring breeze, but when he heard these two words, his face suddenly changed.
I saw him suddenly stop, and scolded Leng Xiao angrily: "You bastard, are you ridiculing the old man? If you don't have money, you are pretending to be a rich man, get out, don't come to the old man's eyes again!"
Leng Xiao's face couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness, but he saw that the old man was carrying two bags of medicinal herbs, turned around and disappeared, and threw him halfway on.
Leng Xiao couldn't help sighing, it was really a penny that was difficult for a hero.
At this moment, I saw the old man carrying two bags of medicinal herbs and walking back quickly, standing still in front of Leng Xiao.
I only heard him look at Leng Xiao and say, "Boy, do you really want to buy medicine?"
Leng Xiao nodded slightly.
The old man couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "The old man sees that you are sincere, you have to take this elixir away, you just need to do the old man a small favor!"
After the matter of Fang Cai, Leng Xiao already knew that this old man clearly recognized money and did not recognize people, how could there be anything cheap, this busy must not be easy!
Despite this, Leng Xiao didn't hesitate much and agreed. The old man immediately laughed three times and said, "Okay, the old man appreciates a stupid man like you!"
Leng Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had heard something, and the old man didn't explain, so he just forgot about it. Leng Xiao is only for medicine, so naturally he doesn't account for more.
It took about half an hour for the two to arrive at a pharmacy, and as the old man said, the road was far away. It is said that this pharmacy is extremely inconsistent with the old man, the old man is dirty, sloppy, and the clothes are extremely old, and they have faded after washing.
But this pharmacy is indeed extremely spacious and tidy.
The two of them walked to the door of the pharmacy, and a girl walked out of the shop, this girl was extremely beautiful, a pair of big eyes flowed on Leng Xiao's face for a moment, he knew the old man's temperament, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, how long has it been since you went out, is it to bring back a big customer?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately took a sip: "What a big customer, a shabby customer, still wants to take credit!"
As he spoke, he suddenly took a few more glances at Leng Xiao, Leng Xiao's body was blocked by Yao Xinyu before, and the hem of his clothes was muddy, and he didn't look at it much, only then did he suddenly find a clue, and couldn't help but say disdainfully: "I actually wore a woman's outfit! Being a man can be as poor as you, the old man is the first time I have seen you, what use do you say." ”
"That's it, it's good luck for you to be able to meet the old man! Jia'er, take this kid to test the medicine!"
He first gave an order to the girl, and then said to Leng Xiao: "Boy, you only need to try a thousand herbs, and the old man can give these three herbs as gifts." ”
When Jia'er heard this, she motioned for Leng Xiao to follow her, and seeing that Leng Xiao was always holding Yao Xinyu, she couldn't help but say, "Son, why don't you put this girl down first." ”
Leng Xiao shook his head slightly, not thinking about putting Yao Xinyu down.
Who knew that the old man suddenly lost his temper, stepped in front of Leng Xiao, and then pulled Yao Xinyu's arm, just waiting for the moment to touch, the old man was about to say something, but at this moment he suddenly frowned: "Why is this girl's arm so cold?"
The old man is a foundation building monk, Leng Xiao couldn't stop him at all, only to see the old man's finger put on Yao Xinyu's wrist in an instant, and immediately changed his face, and drove Leng Xiao away again and again: "You are a murderer, you dare to bring a dead person into the old man's shop, it's really unlucky! Get out, the old man doesn't need you to test the medicine, you give the old man a roll!"
However, Leng Xiao's feet seemed to be rooted, motionless, the old man was going to use his aura, Jia'er hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse, since grandpa has promised others, you should talk about it!"
She smiled at Leng Xiao: "Son, please come with the concubine." ”
Leng Xiao immediately hugged Yao Xinyu and followed, the old man's eyes rolled, and he hummed two hot breaths from his nose, and he also followed quickly.
The three of them walked to a room full of medicine shelves filled with various elixirs.
Without waiting for Jia'er to make a move, the old man quickly took out a medicinal herb from the shelf and threw it to Jia'er.
Jia'er hurriedly caught it, and when she saw the medicinal herb, her face changed, and she said: "Grandpa, this elixir is born with ghost poisonous grass, it may be highly poisonous, so it is not appropriate to try it rashly!"
The old man immediately sneered: "Those peaceful medicines can be tried by the old man himself, and what do you want this kid to do!"
The world is big, and there are always some elixirs that are inexplicably born in a specific environment, or have mutations, so the properties of the medicine are unknown, so people have to try the medicine.
Seeing that Jia'er was still about to argue, Leng Xiao had already twisted a small piece from the elixir blade and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jia'er was busy trying to stop it, but it was too late. The old man hurriedly scolded: "I'm still stunned, don't record it quickly!"
Jia'er hurriedly raised the brush and waited for Leng Xiao to say how she felt.
I saw that after Leng Xiao took the elixir, his face was always calm, and he said slowly: "My tongue is a little numb, my body is cold, I sweat profusely, and I am slightly stiff......
The old man also walked to the edge of Leng Xiao, probed Leng Xiao's pulse, always paid attention to the changes, and interjected a sentence or two from time to time.
At the end, the old man probed Leng Xiao's pulse, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Boy, in front of the doctor, don't endure the disease!"
When Leng Xiao heard this, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out, and his face was already a little black. The old man immediately stuffed a pill into his mouth, and he didn't know what quality it was.
As soon as this elixir entered the abdomen, Leng Xiao suddenly felt hot all over his body, and he felt a lot more comfortable, and all the toxins were dissolved.
In this way, the old man really tried a thousand elixirs for Leng Xiao, and he refused to do anything, during the trial period, Leng Xiao almost died several times, but fortunately, the old man observed Leng Xiao's physical changes at all times, which was considered to be in danger.
The matter of testing drugs is a lot of accidents, and if you are not careful, you will be killed.
The old man also spoke his mind, and gave the three-flavor elixir to Leng Xiao as promised. Just as Leng Xiao got up and wanted to leave, the old man suddenly said, "Boy, you used to be a monk?"
