"Little brother, can you take a moment to speak!" The old man frowned and looked at the noisy people around him, and said in a low voice.
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said to Ye Yun on the side: "Senior brother, go back as soon as you go. Junior sister and senior brother Xiao will look at the stall for now."
"Go, senior brother! Be careful, don't be fooled by this old man!" Ye Yun came closer and whispered. She didn't like this old man from the beginning.
Liu Yu chuckled and replied: "I know!"
"Little brother, let's go sit at the "Xianyun Teahouse" next door." The old man looked very happy when Liu Yu agreed and said cheerfully.
"You always lead the way!" Liu Yu replied politely. To be honest, Liu Yu was very curious about what the black bump was.
"Hey! Why are you leaving?"
"That's it! That's it!"
"Mr. Tian, what are you..."
"I'm afraid that thing is not "Black Potato"!"
…
The old man led Liu Yu to separate the crowd, and when they walked out, the onlookers suddenly became confused and said, some of them had already realized that the black bump was not simple. As Mr. Tian and Liu Yu walked further and further away, the onlookers They also quickly dispersed.
The story of Mr. Tian who was frustrated in picking up leaks and fell in love with the mysterious "black bump" soon spread, adding some legend to Mr. Tian.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat!" The old man led Liu Yu to a two-story teahouse, climbed up to an exquisite elegant room on the second floor, and greeted him warmly.
Then he said to the young man who was following behind him: "Little Chengzi! Hurry up and put the pot of "Xianyun Yehe" in the pot, I have a distinguished guest!"
"Okay! Just sit down! Just come!" The smart-looking young man in a soap-colored short shirt replied respectfully, and then slipped downstairs.
"We are destined to meet each other, old Tian Qi, I wonder which famous family this little friend is from?" Tian Qi handed over his hand and began to introduce himself.
"I, Huang Shengzong Liu Yu, am an ordinary cultivator and not a descendant of an aristocratic family!" Liu Yu replied politely, cupping his fists.
"It turns out that he is a high disciple of Huang Shengzong, Tian is disrespectful!" Tian Qi said in compliment.
"Tian Lao is too polite. I don't want to be a high disciple, just an ordinary disciple!" Liu Yu said humbly. Although Tian Qi is a casual cultivator, his cultivation level is still above him, and Liu Yu can't afford to be pretentious.
At this time, the clever boy walked slowly into the private room carrying a steaming purple clay pot, quickly set up the tea set, and said with a face of joy: "Mr. Tian, you want the "Xianyun Yehe"! And my mother. Please try the newly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake yesterday!"
"Little Chengzi, I would like to say hello to your father-in-law on behalf of the old man! Go and do your work! You are not required to serve me here!" Tian Qi said cheerfully.
He often comes to this teahouse and is very familiar with his partners and the shopkeeper. When he gets tired from shopping around the stalls, he will come here to rest and ask for a pot of tea. As he gets older, his energy is not as good as before. In the past few years, he never took a break. , it takes a whole day to visit.
"Mr. Tian, Xiao Chengzi will step back first. If you need anything, please say hello!" The young man said to Tian Qi very respectfully, and then took the wooden case out of the private room and closed the door.
"This little brother respects you so much! Is he your descendant?" Seeing this scene, Liu Yu asked casually. It can be seen from the conversation and expressions between the two that the relationship between the two seems to be extraordinary, not just ordinary. Regular customer relationship.
"The year before last, his mother suffered from a serious illness. The old man found out and saved his mother's life. The little guy now knows how to be grateful. Come and try this osmanthus cake. His mother's craftsmanship is good!" Tian Qi said calmly.
"Tian Lao Renyi, I admire you!" Liu Yu said with cupped hands.
"We, as cultivators, should act with a clear conscience. It is not worth mentioning what we have done." Tian Qi said with a smile.
But it was not as easy as Tian Qi said. The young man's mother was a mortal and suffered from serious illnesses. The young man worked in this teahouse and took the opportunity to beg some customers. Although some well-meaning people came to take a look, they all said in the end Nothing can be done.
Because his mother is terminally ill, she can only be cured by taking a high-quality healing elixir. However, a high-quality healing elixir costs at least a thousand low-level spiritual stones. This is not a small sum of money. It costs a lot to go to this teahouse. As a casual cultivator, naturally there is nothing I can do to help.
In the end, Tian Qi spent 1,200 low-level spiritual stones to buy a "Yan Yuan Dan" and saved his mother's life. After that, the young man was naturally grateful to Tian Qi and always respected him as if he was his own relative. .
"This tea is called "Xianyun Yehe". It is secretly made from the unique spiritual tea "Yunhe" deep in the Black and White Mountains. It has a light and sweet fragrance. It is the store's signature. I don't know if it suits your taste!" Tian Qi stood up and gave Liu Yu Pour a glass and say enthusiastically.
"Sweet and moisturizing, fragrant, great tea!" Liu Yu took a sip, her teeth and cheeks fragrant, and she praised sincerely.
"As long as you like it, little friend, have a few more cups!" Tian Qi put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"There are large and sparse Ling tea leaves deep in the Black and White Mountains, shaped like a flying crane, with layers of clouds and mist moistening the tea fragrance. It is called "Yunhe" and is a second-grade Ling tea. Mr. Tian, I have spent a lot of money on you!" Liu Yu savored the sweet Ling tea. Tea, tea contains a lot of pure spiritual energy and has a pleasant aroma.
Liu Yu had heard about this tea before, and it was not cheap. Liu Yu guessed that this tea would cost at least five hundred low-level spiritual stones to drink.
"Treating friends with tea is one of the great blessings in life, so why bother talking about it?" Tian Qi said brightly.
"Tian Lao is open-minded. I have learned from you. I will drink tea instead of wine and punish myself with one cup." Liu Yu drank the tea in one gulp and cupped his hands.
"My little friend has a straightforward temperament, and he doesn't mince words. The "black potato" in my hand is indeed unusual. This thing is called "blood-spotted black taro", and it is a very special thousand-year-old "black potato"." Tian Qi Qing took a sip of fragrant tea and said bluntly.
""Blood-spotted black taro"! What is this?" Liu Yu couldn't help but put down the tea cup and asked curiously.
"Old man said before that the "Black Mountain Taro" can only reach a thousand years if it grows in a land with fertile soil. This "Blood-spotted Black Taro" is even more special. It is grown from a species of "Black Mountain Taro" named Among the third-grade poisonous soil called "red-spotted smelly mud", it has been corroded by poisonous mud for thousands of years, and its skin has shed dark spots, which is a "different species" that has survived tenaciously." Tian Qi said eloquently.
"Born in poisonous soil, there are such strange things in the world?" Liu Yu was extremely surprised after hearing this and couldn't help but say.
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. Within the universe, Tao gives rise to all things." Tian Qi sighed leisurely.
Liu Yu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, calmed down his thoughts, and then asked: "What is the effect of this "blood-spotted black taro"?"
"Although this thing is extremely rare, it is just a variant of the 'Black Potato'. Not only does it have average medicinal power, it also contains highly toxic substances. Anyone who eats it by mistake will be in danger of life." The old man said truthfully.
Liu Yu couldn't help frowning and asked hesitantly: "I'm sorry for being rude, but since this "blood-spotted black taro" contains highly toxic substances, why do you insist on buying and selling it?"
"Although this "blood-spotted black taro" is highly poisonous, the old man accidentally found a secret recipe, and this substance is one of the main medicines. To others, the "blood-spotted black taro" is a deadly poison, but to the old man it has great consequences. If you want to use it, please help me and sell it to the old man." The old man said in a sincere tone.
Without waiting for Liu Yu to speak, he continued: "I am willing to pay 6,000 low-level spiritual stones to buy this "Blood-spotted Black Taro". Because I took the "Broken Sky Grass" yesterday, these 6,000 low-level spiritual stones have already been purchased. These are all the spiritual stones that the old man can come up with at this time. If you still feel that something is wrong, I will make a price, and the old man will be able to collect them within a few days!"
Liu Yu was full of doubts at this time and was not in a hurry to reply. She wondered whether what the old man said about "blood-spotted black taro" was true or not. Is this black bump the "blood-spotted black taro"?
Until now, these are just the old man's words. Although this old man does not seem to be a treacherous person, this old man's nickname is "Tian Yiyan" and he hangs around Wuhu Square all year round, which can't help but make people wary.
