In the main hall.
Li Shuidao was silent for a long time, and then said with a serious face: "We can take this business, but if the alchemy fails, we can only pay you 10,000 spiritual stones."
The woman raised her eyebrows and said with a bit of displeasure: "Ten thousand spirit stones are fine, but I have to watch you refine the elixir."
Li Shuidao shook his head resolutely: "I'm sorry, my alchemy process cannot be watched by outsiders."
"Hmph! That won't work. I'll give you materials worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. If you don't refine the elixir and just swallow the materials, and you pay me ten thousand spiritual stones, wouldn't you earn one hundred thousand spiritual stones in vain!" the woman said coldly. .
Li Shuidao clasped his fists: "We at Miaodanfang open our doors to do business, relying on credibility. If the girl can't trust us, then it's okay not to accept the business."
"No answer!?" A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes.
Feeling the woman's threat, Tuoba Wan'er stood up nervously and scolded: "Fellow Taoist! This is Xiantu City, don't make any mistakes."
Li Shuidao looked at the woman in plain clothes without sadness or joy, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hahahaha..." The woman in plain clothes laughed loudly, and then said with cold eyes: "Okay! I believe you for now! If you dare to play tricks, I will put you in a dilemma of life and death."
Li Shuidao cupped his fists and said, "Senior, please rest assured that Li will go all out to refine the resurrection pill."
"Okay, deal!"
After the two parties reached an agreement, a man outside the door brought a tray with two volumes of documents on it.
"What is this?" The woman in plain clothes looked a little strange.
"This is a contract, written in black and white, in duplicate..." Li Shuidao explained gently, "If you take this contract in seven days, you can come to me to get the elixir."
Li Shuidao signed his name on the contract and drew the deposit.
"Do I also want to sign it?" the woman in plain clothes asked with a frown.
Li Shuidao smiled and said, "You have to sign. Besides, if you don't sign, we will take your treasure and won't give you the elixir, and you won't even be able to produce evidence."
"Try it!" The woman in plain clothes glared at her, her eyes full of threats.
Li Shuidao just laughed and did not refute.
The woman in plain clothes was silent for a moment, then finally picked up a pen and wrote her name on the contract: Sang Xue.
Li Shuidao winked at Tuoba Wan'er, who shook her head. Apparently she didn't recognize Sang Xue either.
Sang Xue put down her pen, took a deep look at Li Shuidao, then turned and left.
Her voice echoed in the hall: "I will come back in seven days. If you can't come up with the resurrection pill, hum! Wei Qiankun can't save you two!"
Sang Xue left...
She signed the contract but didn't take it.
Contracts written in black and white are just psychological comfort for the weak.
A truly strong person doesn't need this kind of thing at all.
Li Shuidao sighed softly and said: "It seems that we are really in big trouble this time. If we had known, we would have promised him to compensate him one hundred thousand spiritual stones."
Tuoba Wan'er frowned and asked in confusion: "Who is this Sang Xue? From what she said, if we can't refine the resurrection pill on time, will we be killed?"
"It's hard to say..." Li Shuidao's expression looked quite smart. At this moment, he was holding the most precious Phoenix Tears in his hand. This treasure was indeed worth a lot of money.
"I'm going to ask who this Sang Xue is." Tuoba Wan'er said.
Li Shuidao nodded and said, "That's all we have to do. But before that, let's put away these spiritual materials."
Tuoba Wan'er nodded, and with a wave of her hand, there was a ripple in the space. All the spiritual materials that were placed in the hall just now disappeared and entered Tuoba Wan'er's ruin realm.
Then, Tuoba Wan'er flashed and galloped towards the city lord's palace.
Li Shuidao stayed in Miaodanfang and continued to study the elixir.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
"Sang Xue?" Venerable Qianyuan Wei Qiankun heard these two words and fell into long memories.
After a long time...
Then he asked: "How do you know this name?"
"To be honest, brother, a guest came to Miaodanfang today..." Tuoba Wan'er told the truth about today's events.
After Wei Qiankun heard this, he sighed and said, "Then you should refine the elixir carefully. Sang Xue is one of the two Formless True Lords of the Yunmang Sword Sect. The Spiritual Sword True Lord Sang Xue is a master of swordsmanship. You can’t afford to offend anyone.”
"It turns out to be True Lord Wuxiang. No wonder he is so arrogant. Thank you Brother Wei for telling me. I know what to do." Tuoba Wan'er frowned deeply and said goodbye with a solemn expression.
When Tuoba Wan'er left, a woman in plain clothes walked out of the darkness, it was Sang Xue, the True Lord of Spirit Sword.
Her elegant figure is like a fairy under the moon, exuding unique charm in the night.
"Wei Qiankun, you should have made some progress in practicing the Holy Qiankun Kung Fu over the years." Sang Xue looked at him with a hint of challenge.
Wei Qiankun smiled indifferently and shook his head slightly: "Wei has encountered a bottleneck, and his cultivation has stopped growing for a long time... The Lord of Spirit Sword does not need to beat around the bush like this, just say what you have to say."
A smile appeared on the lips of the Lord Spirit Sword: "You also know that I asked your men to help me refine an elixir."
Wei Qiankun nodded slightly: "True Lord, I have no worries, they will never dare to mess around."
"Hmph! Of course I know this." Lord Spirit Sword narrowed his eyes and said: "A few years ago, there was an alchemy master in our sect named Yao Shengjian. In all likelihood, this person died in the hands of a man named Li Shuidao. in human hands.”
"Could it be Master Li of Miaodanfang?" Wei Qiankun frowned.
"That's him!" Lord Spirit Sword said with determination.
"You want to kill him?" Wei Qiankun asked with a frown.
"I have no interest in embarrassing a junior, not to mention that he is still your subordinate. If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face." Lord Spirit Sword said calmly.
Wei Qiankun nodded and said: "Then thank you Zhenjun for the next thin noodles."
Just listen to the Lord Spirit Sword continue to say: "After the fall of the Medicine Saint Sword, the Medicine Master Spirit Fire on his body was lost. If Li Shuidao took the Medicine Master Spirit Fire, I will force him to hand it over. After all, it is the property of our sect. Do you have any objection?"
Wei Qiankun frowned: "The two of them are refining elixirs, and no one is allowed to observe them."
"Then please, Fellow Daoist Wei, please use the Universe Mirror to let me take a look." Lord Spirit Sword said with a smile.
Wei Qiankun was silent for a moment and then said, "What if I don't allow it?"
Lord Spirit Sword sneered: "Then I can only spar with you."
Wei Qiankun shook his head helplessly.
…
The entire Xiantu City is connected by a secret formation, and this formation is under the control of Wei Qiankun.
In a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, a huge Universe Mirror hung in mid-air, emitting a faint brilliance.
Lord Lingjian and Venerable Qianyuan Wei Qiankun walked into the secret room slowly. They each chose a seat and sat down cross-legged.
The position where they sit is exactly the yin and yang fish eye of the Bagua Diagram, as if it is the core of the entire formation.
Wei Qiankun gently raised his finger, and the light on the Qiankun Mirror suddenly became distorted, and a scene in an alchemy room appeared on the screen.
This alchemy room is the alchemy room of Miaodanfang, located in an independent building on the west side of Xiantu City.
At this time, Li Shuidao and Tuoba Wan'er were entering the alchemy room.
Tuoba Wan'er raised her hand and waved, and a whole batch of alchemy materials appeared on the wooden table in the alchemy room.
The two of them examined the materials and discussed how to deal with them based on the properties of the medicine.
On the Universe Mirror, the picture clearly showed everything in the alchemy room.
I saw the fire burning in the center of the alchemy room, providing a steady stream of heat for the alchemy.
Through the Qiankun Mirror, Wei Qiankun and Lord Lingjian began to spy on the entire process of Li Shuidao and Tuoba Wan'er refining the resurrection pill.
In the alchemy room, Li Shuidao and Tuoba Wan'er skillfully handled the medicinal materials in their hands...
They roasted the honeysuckle in the fire. Honeysuckle gradually turns brown under high temperatures and emits a unique aroma.
Then, they grind the roasted honeysuckle into powder and dry it to make it lose moisture and become more pure...
Honeysuckle is only the lowest level medicinal material. The next step is to deal with dragon scale fruit and star luozhi. These two medicinal materials are much more troublesome.
However, both of them are extremely clever in their methods and can handle them with ease...
After going through a series of complicated steps, it seems that all the materials are ready...
In front of the alchemy furnace, Li Shuidao stood quietly with his hands behind his back. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Tuoba Wan'er knelt in front of him obediently and opened her little cherry mouth...
At this time, Lord Spirit Sword and Wei Qiankun were peering through the Universe Mirror. They exchanged complicated looks with each other, both looking a little confused...
"He...what are they doing?" Lord Spirit Sword couldn't help but ask softly, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
Wei Qiankun frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Perhaps he is preparing an alchemy material?"
"What alchemy materials?" Lord Spirit Sword asked curiously.
"The Resurrection Pill requires tremendous vitality, and men's essence is also the source of vitality. Perhaps Li Shuidao wants to use his own essence as medicine." Wei Qiankun explained, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
After all, only a truly enlightened alchemy master can temporarily change the elixir formula.
Upon hearing this, Lord Spirit Sword's eyes flashed with surprise. She looked at Li Shuidao and Tuoba Wan'er's actions with disbelief on her face.
What happened next made her even more surprised.
I saw Tuoba Wan'er changing her posture, from kneeling to lying down. She put her hands on the ground, raised her head slightly, and her eyes were blurred...
Lord Spirit Sword's little mouth opened, her eyes were opened today. She glanced at Wei Qiankun beside her, only to find that the old thief had already left.
"This old thief actually ran away..." True Lord Spirit Sword muttered to himself.
She tried to calm herself down.
Just think of it as watching two dogs biting each other and two pigs humping each other.
I have been practicing for hundreds of years, and I have never seen anything like this! ?
is not it……
Lord Spirit Sword licked his tongue and watched with relish. (End of chapter)
