When Li Shuidao came to the market, there was a huge crowd and the vendors were shouting about their products.
"They are selling jade. High-grade spiritual jade. Come and take a look at it. It is brightly colored and full of spiritual energy!"
"Newly forged sword, cut with one blow and blood will flow!" the vendors shouted one after another.
Li Shuidao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the recipe for Purple Poison Powder came to mind.
Purple Poison Powder Pill Recipe: Periwinkle 1, 2, 4 qian; Bitter Snake Gan, 1 2 2 qian; Toad gallbladder, 1 2 2 qian; Sanxiancao, 1 2, 4 qian.
Put the periwinkle, toad gall, and bitter snake root into a grinder and grind them into powder. Wash the three immortal grasses and chop them into fine powder. Then mix them evenly with the previous grass powder and stir-fry at low temperature for a while. When the incense stick is burned, the medicinal material turns dark purple, which is Zitu Powder.
Every disciple of the Li family has learned this elixir and is required to recite it. It can be said that it is known to everyone.
Li Shuidao naturally also memorized it, but he did not memorize it by rote, but relied on understanding to incorporate the elixir prescription into the system of the balance of yin and yang and the interdependence of the five elements.
Toad gall belongs to water, bitter snake sweet belongs to fire, periwinkle belongs to wood, and the medicinal properties of three immortal grasses are determined by the medicinal properties of water, fire and wood.
"Everything in the world tends to be in balance between yin and yang, and the five elements are in harmony. The three poisons of water, fire, and wood are anchored by the three immortal grasses. The five elements are mismatched and the yin and yang are confused. This is the toxicology and pharmacology of Zitu San." He thought silently in his heart, Eyes slightly closed.
Theoretically, except for Sanxiancao, all other medicinal herbs in the purple poison powder can be substituted.
It is almost impossible to collect all the spiritual materials for refining Purple Poison Powder at market stalls. After all, there are too many people who know the recipe for Purple Poison Powder, and it is not necessary to refine such a primary elixir. What a trick.
Everyone is collecting at a high price, long-term collection of periwinkle, toad gallbladder, bitter snake sweet, and three immortal grasses.
Among them, the rarest one is Kushengan, and the price is also the highest.
Next is periwinkle. Although there are many kinds of this spiritual herb, it can be used in many elixirs, so it is not common on the market. As long as the price is not outrageous, it will be taken away almost as soon as it appears.
The most you can buy in the market are toad gallbladder and three immortal grasses.
Apart from being used in Purple Du Powder, Sanxiancao can hardly be used in other elixirs, so it is easy to appear on the market.
After walking around the crowded market for a moment, Li Shuidao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Sanxiancao!
The condition is quite good.
"How to sell this three immortal grasses?" Li Shuidao asked.
"The first-level spiritual grass and the three immortal grass are worth twenty jade each." the dealer said loudly.
Li Shuidao frowned.
One plant of Three Immortals can only refine three copies of Purple Du Powder at most. Twenty jade coins is too expensive. It is better to go directly to Baicaotang to buy the finished Purple Du Powder.
The price must be negotiated, at least ten jade per plant is reasonable.
"It costs five jade per plant, what do you think?" Li Shuidao returned the money and prepared to polish it with the stall owner, then took ten jade away.
"Ten jade per plant! I want all the three immortal grasses here." A young man in a green shirt came over, bought all the three immortal grasses without any explanation, and then walked away.
Li Shuidao: "..."
Seeing Li Shuidao's expression of despair, the stall owner smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you must act decisively when you encounter something really good, otherwise you will miss it and regret it too late."
"What you said is true." Li Shuidao said politely, clasping his fists.
"You can teach me." The stall owner took out a handful of spiritual herbs from the storage bag. These spiritual herbs were all dry. It was obvious that they had been picked for a long time and were not well preserved. The spiritual energy was seriously lost.
"The quality of these three immortal grasses is not very good, or I can sell them to you cheaply." The stall owner did not expect these poor-quality spiritual grasses to fetch a good price, but he did not want to waste it, so he simply asked road.
Li Shuidao's eyes lit up, Sanxiancao only determines the medicinal properties, not necessarily full of spiritual energy.
I saw him pretending to be embarrassed and said: "These spiritual grasses have dried up, and the spiritual energy has been seriously lost. I don't know if they can be used. Sir, please give me a price." Li Shuidao asked the price.
When the boss saw this boy, he was kind to him and reported the number with a smile: "Take all the twenty jade coins."
Li Shuidao nodded, then counted twenty jade coins from the cloth bag on his waist and handed it to the stall owner.
After the two of them completed the transaction, Li Shuidao turned around and left to go elsewhere.
"How can I sell these three rootless ice plants?" Li Shuidao knelt down and asked.
"Eighty jade coins!" The stall owner said the price.
"Too expensive!" Li Shuidao shook his head and refused.
"I'm sorry then!" The stall owner spread his hands as if he didn't care.
Li Shuidao shook his head. He still had a hundred jade coins left in his hand. If he spent too much here, it wouldn't be enough to buy the things later, so he decisively turned around and left.
"Wait-" At this time, the stall owner stopped him.
"Are you willing to pay less?"
"Definitely...can you give me a price?"
"Thirty jade." Li Shuidao quoted a price he thought was appropriate based on what he could afford.
"Deal!" The stall owner agreed happily.
Then, Li Shuidao took out thirty jade coins from his arms, placed it on the stall, and left.
Then Li Shuidao spent thirty-five jade to buy a few fire thistles, and finally only the wood-type spiritual grass was left.
Among the wood-based spiritual herbs, the most suitable one is periwinkle. Its medicinal properties are neutral and neutral, and it is most suitable for reconciling yin and yang. Otherwise, the conflict between the medicinal properties of rootless ice grass and fire thistle is too severe, and it may explode on the spot.
But although periwinkle is common, it is used in many elixirs, so whenever it appears, it will be snatched away as soon as possible.
Li Shuidao was walking in the market, looking at the stalls all over the street, thinking about finding a medicine that could replace periwinkle. After searching for a long time, no useful clues were found, and suddenly a noise was heard.
"You liar! The Eternal Spring Pills you sold me are useless pills." A person shouted to the crowd.
Eternal Spring Pill!
This elixir is used to prolong life for monks below the Rongling realm. The main ingredient of this elixir is periwinkle.
The waste elixir is not a fake elixir, it is just useless after being refined.
Although the Eternal Spring Pill is a first-level elixir, it is not easy to refine, and it is said that the rate of elixir formation is extremely low.
Therefore, whether one can successfully practice Changchun Dan is also a sign of judging whether a monk is a first-level alchemist.
This stall owner must be practicing alchemy, but his character is not good enough, so he sells the waste elixirs he refined as good elixirs.
Li Shuidao made a guess and knew the approximate reason.
The shamelessness of the goateeed stall owner was far beyond Li Shuidao's expectation. He said with an angry face: "Where are you from? Why are you so unreasonable? I have always been a childlike child!"
"Do you dare to say that you didn't sell this elixir to me?"
"No! How can you prove that you bought it from me? I don't even know you. You are talking shit and framing people. You clearly want to blackmail people!" Although the stall owner is thin, he is very powerful when he curses people. Full of momentum.
"I'm so angry! This is intolerable. If you can't bear it, I'll kill you!" The customer took action in anger!
"stop!"
"Let's see who dares to take action!"
Sudden.
A monk with a silver hook hanging from his waist rushed out.
Silver hook!
The emblem of the Silver Hook Guard of the Law Enforcement Hall.
One second the man was just an ordinary tourist, and the next second he hung out his silver hook to reveal his identity.
The monks of the Wu Du Sect Law Enforcement Hall have always been hiding in the market. As long as someone makes trouble, they will immediately take action to punish the culprits and maintain order.
But the customer was furious at this time and completely lost his mind. Even in the face of the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall, he didn't know how to stop.
"Presumptuous!" the monk from the Law Enforcement Hall shouted sternly: "I'm going to capture you without mercy!"
