Hearing what Murong Xiuming said, Huai Cao Shi's eyebrows relaxed a little, "I was a little worried that Mr. Murong wouldn't understand what I meant just now. It seems that I'm worrying too much."
Murong Xiuming's lazy sitting posture changed slightly, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed and he said: "Uncle, I'm a little embarrassed about my nephew."
Nowadays, the things that can be used for price in Wanhua Valley are cultivating medicine and refining elixirs. However, according to the poem of Huai Cao, Huaifeng flower is indispensable for both of them.
Murong Xiuming judged that Huaifenghua's current situation must be a bit bad.
He just showed his concern and said: "When it comes to saving people in Tiannan, if you, uncle, are not good at it, how can we help?"
Murong Xiu Ming was quite able to put himself in someone's shoes now. After finishing speaking, he looked thoughtful, really thinking that his family might have some incredible life-saving treasure that he didn't know yet.
Huai Caoshi tilted his head slightly and looked at the corridor leading to the right from the main room, which showed several damaged rooms.
Half a cup of tea later, the afternoon sunlight tilted a little more, and the light pillar formed by the gathering of fine dust elongated, slowly climbing up from the corridor floor to the wall on the other side.
The bright yellow spot is like a mirror.
"There seems to be a saying about using the past as a mirror and human beings as the environment..." Huai Cao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course she chose this house on purpose, not because she was trying to make things worse for people like Murong Xiu Ming, but she felt that if the destroyed areas in the Valley of Flowers were not dead, they would probably roar angrily at these intruders.
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
Staring at the clean and bright sunshine, Huai Cao Shi's eyes began to sting, and then she remembered that from being caught by Murong Xing as bait to today's negotiation, it seemed that it was just a cup of tea in the trance of the sun.
In fact, it’s almost ten days already.
She hasn't been able to close her eyes in the past ten years. It's better these days because she has something to do. As long as she has free time, those who have passed away, regrets, and guilt will torture her endlessly.
Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao looked at each other after reading the poem about Huai Cao, with lingering sadness in their eyes.
Huaifenghua has not yet awakened, relying on the rare calming incense to maintain a ray of vitality. In the past three days, they and Huai Caoshi tried many methods but failed to work. Until the day of negotiation was approaching, Huai Caoshi suddenly thought of a method that might be useful.
"I wonder...how are they doing?"
Jiang Shangxiu said kindly, and her poem on Huaicao immediately matched the calm atmosphere of an iceberg. She looked at Chen Qing who was facing her and said: "I heard from my junior sister that part of the Wanhua Dan given to you by Wanhua Valley every year is used for other purposes. .”
Chen Qing's eyes flashed, and he remained silent without speaking. Murong Xiu Ming, on the other hand, asked in confusion: "What does Uncle Master want to say? If this matter is related to saving Master Uncle Huai Fenghua, then please explain it more clearly."
Huai Fenghua smiled at Murong Xiu Ming for the first time and said, "Okay, I want a piece of the earth spiritual root."
"Earth spirit root?" The sudden light in the depths of Murong Xiuming's eyes was instantly annihilated. When he repeated these three words, he deliberately prolonged his tone and looked at the other two people with a puzzled look on his face. It seemed that he himself was also I don’t know what the earth spirit root is.
Huai Cao Shi didn't give them a chance to perform, and sneered: "I heard before that Hidden Valley is very good at controlling people's hearts. Later I found out that Hidden Valley has a prescription called "Jie Dao Dan"."
Huai Cao Shi deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "You should be familiar with this Tao Pill."
When Huaifenghua took Wanhua Valley to join Hidden Valley, Huaicao Shi had just taken Bai Jiahe and his brother and sister to hide in Tibet in the various states of the dynasty. These things were all recently told by Huaifenghua to her senior sister Huaicao Shi.
Jiang Shangxiu smiled bitterly and said: "The previous Jie Dao Pill is not as useful as it has been in recent years. It seems that Master Huai Gu has guessed it?"
The Huai Guzhu he mentioned was naturally Huai Feng Hua instead of Huai Cao Shi.
Chen Qing said at this time: "When Huaifenghua joined Hidden Valley, Zhang Lu wanted her to take the Jie Dao Pill, but the owner of the valley stopped her. Later, the quality of the Jie Dao Pill we got was greatly different from the previous one. There is improvement.”
Huai Cao Shi said bluntly: "Junior sister said that the Wan Hua Dan that Wan Hua Valley gave to Hidden Valley over the years was mixed with some secret method by you and became the Jie Dao Dan. She got one from Chen Zhuo and later figured out I know the approximate ingredients in this recipe.”
"Is there any earth spirit root among them?" Murong Xiuming said for Huai Cao Shi.
"Yes. I just want a little earth spirit root, which can also be said to be the earth spirit essence." Huai Caoshi nodded and said.
Murong Xiuming raised the corners of his mouth and said: "This is just Uncle Huai's guess. You must know that the earth spirit root is extremely rare, and it is already the most cherished kind of earth treasure level spiritual material."
Chen Qing frowned slightly and glanced at the guy who thought he had dealt with it appropriately.
Huai Caoshi's eyes were bright and he chuckled: "Oh? I didn't expect Master Murong to know so clearly and also know the different levels of spiritual materials?"
The materials for alchemy are generally divided into two categories, one is various medicinal materials that can be seen in ordinary prescriptions in the world, and the other is spiritual materials that contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and are more suitable for monks.
The spiritual materials among them are divided into five levels due to their different rarities: ordinary spiritual materials, fine spiritual materials, rare spiritual materials, earthly treasure-level spiritual materials, and heavenly-level spiritual materials. Among them, even if the heavenly materials and earthly treasures are Even if you are an alchemist, you may not be able to see it in person, but Murong Xiu Ming seems to be too familiar with it.
There was a hint of annoyance in Murong Xiu Ming's eyebrows. He realized that he had gone too far after being criticized by Huai Cao Shi. However, he regained his composure in just a moment and explained slowly: "My nephew is just an image master." I have great admiration for a fairy like Senior Sister Ning who practices medicine to save the world, so naturally I want to get to know her."
The more Murong Xiu Ming talked, the more he admired his quick wit. He looked at Ning Chu with a gentle and gentle look, and sighed: "The people in the past looked at the house as a bird, and what my nephew thought at the beginning was that if he met Senior Sister Ning, he could save her with elixirs." The human fairy in white can also find a way to talk to each other."
Ning Chu frowned her slender eyebrows and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Murong, why do you need to hide it?"
Huai Cao Shi said: "The root of the earth spirit is the earth treasure spiritual material formed underground for hundreds or even thousands of years by the aura of the earth. It cannot be nurtured in a Feng Shui-shaped resort without abundant aura. I happen to know the master of the Hidden Valley. The feng shui of the retreat place is good.”
"Stop talking." Seeing that both Chen Qing and Jiang Shangxiu were listening attentively, Murong Xiu Ming interrupted Huai Cao Shi coldly.
"It seems that Mr. Murong has finally admitted it?" Huai Cao Shi looked at the depressed Murong Xiu Ming and said with a faint smile: "How is it? I only need this small piece of spiritual root."
Huai Cao Shi stretched out her jade-white palm, folded her three fingers into her palm, and separated her thumb and index finger by two inches.
Murong Xiu Mingfeng narrowed his eyes into a straight line and snorted coldly: "Uncle Master, you really dare to speak. Even though I only heard about it from my adoptive father, I also know that such a piece of earth spiritual root is enough to refine a hundred Dao-Jie Dao Pills. not to mention……"
Murong Xiuming suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and immediately shut up.
"What's more?" This time it was Chen Qing who spoke.
Murong Xiuming sneered and said: "The earth spirit root belongs to my Murong family. This is something that everyone at the top of Hidden Valley knows and acquiesces in. Why is the third elder still so curious?"
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled, showing no aggression, but in his heart he was already thinking about the possibility of what Huicao Shi said.
Regarding the Earth Spirit Root, he asked Murong Xing. Murong Xing did not say much about family secrets. He just admitted that he did not know where the Earth Spirit Root was because it was a secret that every head of the Murong family could master.
If you want to become the head of the Murong family, you have to become the head of the Hidden Valley.
It was only after following Murong Xing that Chen Qing learned that hundreds of years ago, Hidden Valley was just the name of a subordinate force of the Murong family, and the Murong family could establish itself in the entire continent with their surname.
The earth spirit root seems to be related to the rise of the surname Murong. Every generation of valley owners will always use seclusion as an excuse after a certain period of time, and the ruins will be silenced from then on.
The thought of standing on the top of the continent flashed through his mind. Chen Qing originally planned to remain silent, but suddenly he asked, "Has Zhang Lu taken you to the retreat place of the Valley Master?"
Jiang Shangxiu also turned his attention to Murong Xiuming, and seemed to be curious about Murong Xiuming's answer.
"That's enough! Third Elder, please don't go too far."
Murong Xiu Ming moved his butt uncomfortably, sat upright and looked at Huai Cao Shi, who had a joking look on his face, and said: "Uncle, there is no need to talk about the earth spirit root anymore. If Huaifeng Hua, uncle must use the earth spirit root." Only then can we be treated, so please forgive me and accept the change."
Huai Cao Shi frowned slightly and said, "You can go back and discuss with Zhang Lu before making a decision."
"No." Murong Xiu Ming shook his head and said, "If this is the case, I think I can make this decision for my adoptive father first."
Ning Chu pinched the blood-stained letter on his sleeve, and after his eyes struggled for a while, he looked at Murong Xiuming and gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you agree to this, not only will what my uncle said just now count, but I will also marry you." .”
"No!"
"Senior sister!" Zhang Shaoyao, who was next to Ning Chu, hurriedly pulled Ning Chu's sleeves, raised her haggard little face, her eyes full of pleading, and said in a thin voice: "You are not the one who wrote that letter. Received yet?"
When Zhang Shaoyao was cleaning Mu Qing's injuries, he found a letter written to Ning Chu. This was the happiest thing for the two sisters in these days.
"Achu, I have the final say here, don't mess around."
Huai Cao Shi said in a cold and hard tone that could not tolerate objection.
Murong Xiu Ming's face showed a trace of regret that the good things in the world had slipped away from his eyes, but he still shook his head and refused: "Uncle, let's change the conditions."
Huai Cao Shi also shook his head and said: "My junior sister has reached a stage where she relies on calming incense to maintain a ray of vitality. The earth spirit root has the function of nourishing the soul and replenishing vitality."
Huai Caoshi's voice was very calm, but everyone sitting there could feel the suppressed emotions behind that calmness.
Murong Xiu Ming's voice was much softer, "But the effect of the Dao Dao Pill is obviously opposite. This proves that the earth spirit root does not seem to have the effect that the master uncle said, right?"
Huai Caoshi's eyes were as bright as icebergs, "Are you questioning my level of medication?"
If she hadn't left Tiannan with Murong Xing, she might have been the current owner of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. After all, she was the senior sister of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
"Over the years since Ten Thousand Flowers Valley joined Hidden Valley, if Hidden Valley has protected Thousand Flowers Valley from being coveted by other forces, then I think Thousand Flowers Valley's rewards are also sufficient."
"The reason why Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is in this situation is because you guys want more."
"Don't forget, it was you who injured my junior sister!"
Huai Cao Shi's hair on the temples fluttered slightly, the atmosphere in the room plummeted, and you could hear a needle drop.
