The next morning.
Zhao Qing had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the Alchemy Hall.
There was a knock on the courtyard door.
Feeling those two familiar scents, he calmly stepped forward to open the door.
Creaking...
The dilapidated wooden door protested, and the figures of Wang Teng and Lu Zheng appeared in front of them.
Zhao Qing was a little confused.
How did these two people get together?
He hadn't seen Wang Teng for some days since he left Wang Jiao's place last time.
Wang Teng smiled and cupped his hands: "Junior brother Zhao entered the Alchemy Hall without even saying a word to the senior brother. Let's celebrate in the kitchen."
Zhao Qing glanced at Lu Zheng and returned Wang Teng's greeting.
"Senior brother, you are too polite. You are just being taken away temporarily to contribute to the sect. Why celebrate?"
Wang Shuyue walked out of the bedroom, bowed slightly to the two of them, put the teapot and cups on the table and returned to the room.
Wang Teng smiled and said: "That won't work. The Alchemy Hall is the foundation of the sect..."
"Eh!"
"Senior Brother Zhao doesn't like publicity, no need to mention it again!"
Lu Zheng spoke and walked into the courtyard.
Then he turned around and looked at Wang Teng: "Why are you standing there? Come sit here."
Zhao...Senior Brother Zhao?
The corner of Wang Teng's mouth twitched and he saluted: "Senior Brother Lu is here, he must have something important to do, so Wang will not disturb you."
He looked at Zhao Qing again: "Senior Brother Zhao, Wang Teng will come back in the evening."
As Zhao Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Zheng again. Nodding and saying: "Okay."
After sending Wang Teng away, he closed the courtyard door.
Then he turned around to pour tea and smiled at Lu Zheng.
"Junior Brother Lu is acting like this, isn't he deliberately humiliating Wang Teng?"
Lu Zheng shook his head: "Don't mention that, I just came to the kitchen to find you and let him lead the way."
Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly.
With Senior Brother Pei Jin protecting me, I can only walk sideways...
In the past two days, he has learned that Senior Brother Pei Jin has a very high status in the entire Danxia Sect.
In the middle stage of foundation building, one person is responsible for most of the affairs of the entire alchemy hall.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Dantang talks about everything.
Zhao Qing nodded slightly and waited for the other party to continue speaking.
Lu Zheng glanced at the tea cup and said, "Senior Brother Pei Jin reminded me that Lu Zheng is here to ask Senior Brother Zhao for some pills to study."
Ask for elixirs and study them?
no problem.
Without saying a word, Zhao Qing took out the only four Qi Gathering Pills left on his body.
Lu Zheng took it and observed it carefully, with a puzzled expression on his face, and then ate one directly and thought about it carefully for a moment.
"It's really extraordinary. It's almost the same as the Qi Gathering Pill I refined!"
Zhao Qing said with a smile: "Junior Brother Lu is extremely talented, Zhao cannot compare with him."
Lu Zheng waved his hand: "Eh? Don't mention that."
"Senior brother, do you only have these Qi Gathering Pills in your hand?"
Zhao Qing met Lu Zheng's puzzled eyes and said with a wry smile: "I used it all to redeem my contribution yesterday."
"Ahem! Poof..."
Lu Zheng couldn't help but spit out a sip of tea. He approached Zhao Qing with a strange look on his face.
"Senior brother, you can't exchange elixirs for contribution!"
"Are the things in the Dharma Hall affordable for people?"
Zhao Qing smiled and said: "The things in the Dharma Hall are indeed expensive. I only discovered that yesterday."
Lu Zheng sat back down and looked at Zhao Qing.
"There's something I have to tell my senior brother."
"We took the elixir materials from Caofang and refined the elixirs. You can submit some...keep some."
He thought for a while and then said: "In this way, senior brother, in addition to submitting contributions, all the Qi Gathering Pills you refine in the future will be handed over to me!"
Handle it for you?
Zhao Qing made a plan in his mind. It turned out that he was waiting for me here.
He thought carefully, what could Lu Zheng do with his Qi Gathering Pill?
The courtyard fell into silence for a moment.
After a while, Zhao Qing picked up the tea cup and sipped lightly: "I also want to use my contribution to exchange a skill from the Dharma Hall..."
Lu Zheng interrupted directly: "What kind of technique, I'll do it!"
That's great.
Zhao Qing smiled: "That technique is not very suitable, so let's not mention it. Now I am looking at a book of techniques called Netherworld Technique."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, silently noted it down, and then said, "I'm going to the Caofang to get the elixir materials. Senior brother, will you come with me?"
Going to Caofang with Lu Zheng?
Could it be that you want to corrupt me! ?
Zhao Qing stood up and said, "I happen to be fine too, let's talk while walking."
He greeted his wife and the two left the yard together.
The kitchen and thatched cottage are not too far apart and can be reached quickly.
The two of them walked side by side, and when they passed a deserted path, Lu Zhengcai got down to business.
"Brother, I have an idea."
finally come!
Zhao Qing said calmly: "What's your idea?"
"It's like this. The city was not very stable in the past few months, and many alchemy shops were closed."
"Our Zidan Pavilion has naturally been affected to some extent. Without the support of the amount of pills, it is no longer possible to control the price of pills in the city."
Zhao Qing nodded, and then asked: "Control the price of pills in the city?"
Lu Zheng nodded.
"Danxia City is our sect's own place, so naturally we have the final say on the price of Danxia."
"But right now we don't have that many alchemists, so we can only be led by others."
"I discussed it with Yihan. From now on, senior brother, your elixirs should be sold directly in the Zidan Pavilion. The elixir pavilion and senior brother will be 50/50."
Five to five!
Zhao Qing's heart sank.
What is 50-50?
A forged magic pill, eighteen spiritual stones in the Dan Pavilion, my eighteen spiritual stones?
So I’m not losing blood?
He asked doubtfully: "Fifty-five?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "For example, a treasure flower costs ten spirit stones, five for senior brother, and five for Dan Pavilion."
Zhao Qing frowned, isn't this blackmailing me?
Just listen to the young junior brother add in the ear: "The Dancai Sect is coming..."
Zhao Qing was greatly shocked.
Can you still play like this?
He turned around and looked at Lu Zheng, what does Dancai Sect mean?
Could Lu Zhengneng say such words? The figure of the foundation-building senior brother appeared in his mind.
He is truly worthy of being a talkative person in Dantang!
"What does Senior Brother Pei mean?" he asked.
Lu Zheng smiled and said: "I, Lu Zheng, can't get the elixir material. Senior brother can just use it in the elixir hall!"
Zhao Qing thought for a moment.
If you buy the elixir for nothing, you can get eighteen spiritual stones for one forged divine elixir.
If you buy the elixir yourself... the cost of ten spiritual stones will be sold for thirty-five spiritual stones. Discounting the elixir loss by 30%, I got more than ten spirit stones.
There is actually not much difference between the two options.
He sighed secretly, and suddenly realized that since he walked out of the kitchen that day, he could no longer get out of the car.
At the moment, I can only agree first, and then I can plan it secretly. At least I will have Pei Jin to cover me, and he will also give me a message jade and a lot of pills.
He turned around and walked towards Caofang, saying sternly: "Junior brother, there is no need to say more. I, Zhao Qing, will buy the elixirs myself. Zidan Pavilion is my own shop, I will send the elixirs there."
Lu Zhengzheng smiled: "That's fine. Cuifang in the south of the city sells alchemy materials. I will go with my senior brother next time."
"I will let Yihan pay attention to the Netherworld Technique. If you need anything else, senior brother, you can contact Yihan directly."
The two of them walked to Dancaofang.
Lu Zheng smiled and said: "There are several junior sisters in Caofang who are good at singing and dancing. I will bring my senior brothers to meet them."
Zhao Qing was heartbroken.
No wonder everyone said that Dantang is good. He took things from Caofang and slept with Caofang’s girls. He was really unworthy of a man!
It's time.
No. 9 Courtyard A of Dancaofang.
Gu Qinghuan finished dancing and stepped aside.
Zhao Qing put down the spirit wine in his hand: "How many years has Junior Sister Gu been in the sect?"
The woman's appearance was beautiful and refined, and she was very gentle. She bowed and said, "It's been two years."
Lu Zheng said with a smile: "A few days ago, the Alchemy Hall summoned the Caofang handymen to give them homework. Junior Sister Gu is well aware of the properties of various medicinal herbs."
"Even Senior Brother Pei is amazed. What Senior Brother Pei means is that Junior Sister Gu has extraordinary talent. It would be best if you are willing to stay by your side and teach her."
"If Senior Brother Zhao doesn't have this intention, Junior Sister Gu will probably go to Dan Pavilion to keep Yihan company."
Zhao Qing looked at the young junior brother next to him, and saw that his expression was solemn, which was very different from before.
Keep company with Xie Yihan? It seems that this Gu Qinghuan has two brushes...
Zhao Qing turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly, Lu Zheng shook his head slightly.
I have never eaten Bliss Pill!
He thought for a moment and decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea to contact him first.
After all, in Dancaofang, finding a serious female cultivator is not much easier than being promoted to an outer sect.
Not to mention it was Pei Jin’s intention.
Xie Yihan's rescue that day flashed through Zhao Qing's mind... Let's not talk about the character of Senior Brother Pei Jin, but he definitely has a high standard.
He thought about it and didn't shy away from Lu Zheng. Two elixir materials for forging the divine elixir were taken out from the storage ring.
"Junior sister Gu, take a look?"
"Calamus, young grass with horizontal rhizomes, slightly flattened, branched, yellowish-brown, fragrant."
"The adult grass has a bright green texture, the inflorescence stems are diagonal, the leaves are sword-shaped, and the base is pleated and disordered."
"The prosperous Kou is called Kou. It is also called Jiancao. Its leaves are fragrant and its rhizomes are used as medicine."
"Its pungent nature and bitter taste are often used in combination with Aracenia to nourish the five internal organs, open the nine orifices, refresh the mind and improve intelligence..."
Zhao Qing's face was moved, and he directly put away another medicinal ingredient and said: "Tomorrow, in Room 80 of the Alchemy Hall, I will pass on some elixir recipes to you."
He couldn't help but be surprised.
This guy surnamed Gu's understanding of the properties of medicine is no worse than that of using a cheat himself.
If there were no problems with her, she would be able to turn into a humanoid money printing machine with a little guidance... not to mention that she also had superb alchemy skills.
He looked thoughtful and asked: "What kind of spiritual root do you have?"
Gu Qinghuan bowed and saluted. "Qing Huan would like to thank Senior Brother Zhao for his cultivation. The disciple's qualifications are relatively poor, and he only has three lines of miscellaneous spiritual roots."
"Which three series?"
"Water, wood, and fire."
Zhao Qing suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart.
I have only been in Alchemy Hall for a few days...
Spiritual stones, women, fame and fortune are all coming!
Is this a series of tricks?
This makes me, a handyman who has worked hard for twenty years, how to stick to the bottom line! ?
It’s over… I seem to have been corrupted!
