"You mean, Fellow Daoist Ling went out to perform a mission?" Mo Juren, who returned to the 51st floor again, originally planned to meet with Ling Yuling. The purpose was naturally to ask about the cost of refining the Ten Thousand Soul Gourd and to pass it on. Unexpectedly, it came to nothing. The other party was not there.
"When can you come back?"
"I don't know about that. It's possible to encounter any situation when you go out on a mission, and you can't determine the time of return at all. If it goes well, maybe a few months. If it doesn't go well, it's normal to take a few years."
"A few years!" Mo Juren was speechless. A few months was a long time, let alone a few years.
"What about Miss Xiaoyun?"
"You mean Captain Ling's maid, naturally she also left with her."
"It's a coincidence that both of them are not here, isn't it?" Mo Juren pondered for a while, then took up the Escape Light again and flew directly to the 70th floor.
Originally, he didn't plan to come back. After all, Mr. Zhou suddenly turned against him last time and kicked him out mercilessly, which made the relationship between the two instantly become a little stiff.
However, after all, people were kind to him, so it was hard for him to hold grudges. If the other person really doesn't like him, just have less contact with him in the future.
As for the cost of refining magic weapons and many rare materials, this is a huge amount of money, and it must be returned to the other party no matter what.
Ling Yuling said it was because both parties were friends, and it was okay to owe him a favor. However, it was just a chance meeting with Mr. Zhou, and he couldn't just take someone else's things for free.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou entertained him warmly when he visited again. As for what happened last time, the other party seemed to have completely forgotten about it and didn't mention it a word.
"This old man doesn't really have a mental problem, does he?" The repeated changes in attitude made Mo Juren feel sad, and he couldn't help but be cautious when he looked at the other party. I was afraid that those words had irritated the other person. If I got angry again and drove him out mercilessly, it would be really embarrassing.
"For the sake of that girl Ling'er, forget about the cost of refining. As for the various spiritual materials added in the process, just give 100,000 spiritual stones." This time, Mr. Zhou did not fall out again, and directly reported a number. Not much, after all, more than a dozen rare spiritual materials, if purchased individually in the market, would cost far more than this. Moreover, the cost of refining is waived. The other party is the number one weapon refiner in Tianxing City and the master of the True Fire Palace. The price of this move is definitely high.
Mo Juren thought for a moment, then took out a storage bag and placed it on the table, then said:
"In that case, we will do as Mr. Zhou said and put the spirit stone here. Mo has other things to deal with, so I will leave for now."
"Let's go slowly." Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, just nodded and watched the other party leave. However, when he picked up the storage bag on the table and looked at it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly and said:
"This boy is quite generous. It seems that Junior Sister is right. The other party may not really have such thoughts. This is also a good thing. Not everyone can match the identity of Ling'er's child. If it is true If you get too close, there might be some twists and turns."
…
The forty-first floor of the Holy Mountain, in the secret room.
Han Li, who was practicing hard in seclusion, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Five years ago, he had gone into seclusion and started to practice the second stage of the third stage of the Heavy Yuan Gong. After the practice, he practiced day and night, striving to reach the late stage of foundation building, or even the peak.
During this period, the incarnation was left outside by him, firstly to protect him, and secondly, to ripen the elixir, take care of the spiritual insects, etc. According to his instructions, messages will not be sent to him easily unless there is something important.
However, just now, the other party directly sent a message that the master is here!
Ten years have passed since the separation. How could Master appear at this time? Did he not go back, or did he return from Tiannan again?
I couldn't figure it out for a while, but it didn't matter, I'd know if I asked him face to face. As for retreat, I'm still in the stage of practicing relaxation and re-cultivation anyway, so it doesn't hurt to stop for a while.
A moment later, in the yard.
After a moment of tidying up, Han Li immediately waved his arm, and the formation immediately opened a passage. The next moment, he saw a familiar figure slowly walking in.
"Master!" A smile suddenly appeared on Han Li's face and he took the initiative to greet him.
"What are you doing?" Mo Juren glanced at the other person and saw that he was only in the early stage of foundation building. He immediately understood in his heart that he should be practicing the third-turn heavy energy skill. However, he still showed a trace of doubt and took the initiative to ask.
"Master, don't worry. It's just a special skill that I practice. It's not a serious problem." Han Li knew that the other party would definitely ask this question. However, he might be shy about it, but Master didn't use it here.
Sure enough, Mo Juren did not continue to ask, but instead said: "Just know it yourself. If you really have any problems, don't hide it."
"Disciple knows." Han Li could feel the concern in the other person's tone, and his heart felt slightly warm. After they were seated one after another, they immediately asked about their doubts.
"This matter is difficult to explain in one sentence. In short, my teacher just returned from the sea half a month ago." Mo Juren did not hide anything, and then began to briefly describe it. The content was similar to Ling Yuling's.
"Trapped in one place for ten years!" After hearing the explanation, Han Li couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time, he felt a little sad. With the master's strength being trapped, it can be seen that it must be extremely dangerous.
That's right. If he didn't have the knowledge of formations from Fairy Bingso and Xin Ruyin, he wouldn't know how to get out of there until the year of the monkey. By then, everything would be too late.
"What about you, when did you come back?"
"After the disciple separated from his master, he stayed alone in the southern and western waters of Binglu Island for three years, and then came back." Han Li simply replied. As for the next two years, he spent two years ripening the elixir and cooperating with the demon The matter of Dan refining a large amount of elixirs was not mentioned.
After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, then he took off a storage bag from his waist, handed it to the front and said,
"By the way, the elixirs that Master asked his disciples to collect back then have been collected one after another over the years, and they are all here."
"Did you buy it?" Even though he knew the truth, the moment he took the storage bag, he still felt some uncontrollable joy in his heart. You know, those are a total of seventy or eighty strains of elixir that are three to four hundred years old, and they are of a designated type. Even Ling Yuling may not be able to do it.
But for Han Li, a son of destiny who owns the little green bottle, it would only take him a few years at most to grow these elixirs.
"Not bad." Mo Juren showed a satisfied smile on his face, then reached his waist with his palms, took off a storage bag, put it on the table and said,
"Look at this first."
"Master, why are you like this? There is no need to give spirit stones." Han Li immediately guessed what was in the bag and quickly refused. As a disciple, you should be filial to your master, so how can you collect spiritual stones? Besides, his elixir didn't cost much, so he couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
Furthermore, the master has always been extremely generous to him. Not to mention the past, just like the last time he accompanied the master to hunt monsters, he directly received half of the harvest, including demon pills, demon souls, and various demons. Animal materials and so on, it is definitely a huge sum of money. Its value far exceeds the elixir that I cultivated? How could he have the nerve to ask the other party to pay the spiritual stone?
"You take a look first, then I have something to say as a teacher." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and urged again.
"I..." Han Li was about to tell the difference, but when he saw his master's unquestionable gaze, he nodded helplessly, picked up the storage bag and started to check it out. I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I was stunned after reading it.
"This... so many?" There are more than a thousand mid-level spiritual stones in the storage bag, and a full hundreds of thousands of low-level spiritual stones. Such a huge number far exceeds the total price of those elixirs. .
Taking the situation in the market as an example, the price of a 300-400-year-old elixir is only a few hundred spirit stones, and 80 plants cost tens of thousands of yuan at most, which is quite different from 100,000 yuan. .
"Master, do you have any instructions?" Han Li was not stupid and quickly reacted.
"You're quite smart." Mo Juren nodded, a jade slip appeared in his hand again, he handed it over and continued,
"As a teacher, you know that the most indispensable thing is spiritual stones. However, there are some resources that spiritual stones cannot buy, or they cannot be purchased in a short time.
In Tiannan, Tianhua Tower will definitely continue to develop in the future, and more and more resources will be needed. It will inevitably be insufficient for the teacher to come and go in a hurry.
The monster materials are okay, but the key is the elixir, which is really a bit difficult.
Therefore, I came up with an idea to let you participate in it and become the elixir purchaser of Tianhua Building.
Anyway, you will stay in the Sea of Chaotic Stars for a long time. If you come across old elixirs, you will buy them as much as possible, and then you can sell them to your teacher. There is no limit to the quantity, and the price will definitely satisfy you. "
"Are we still collecting resources?" Looking at the jade slips in his hands, Han Li couldn't help but sigh. He finally figured out that the master asked him to help buy too many resources and was unwilling to accept them for free every time, so he changed the way to pay for the spiritual stones. If you continue to insist on not agreeing, I'm afraid you won't bother him again in the future.
Of course, I have to say that this method that Master came up with really made him very excited.
Does Han Li lack spiritual stones?
Naturally, there is no shortage. If there is a safe channel, he can continuously supply elixirs. Why would he need to venture to the open sea?
Unfortunately, this is obviously unrealistic. One or two plants are fine, but if there are too many, it will definitely arouse too much covetousness, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Even for monster materials, after returning last time, he secretly sold a small batch in the market and got some spirit stones. However, he was extremely cautious, for fear of arousing others' suspicion.
Therefore, even though he had more resources in his storage bag, he could only be careful and did not dare to be too showy.
However, it would be completely different if it were sold to the master, and he would have much less scruples. As long as it's not too outrageous, the other party will basically not ask anything. And the master's net worth is so huge, he doesn't look down on his little 'little money'.
At this time, Han Li undoubtedly wanted to agree immediately, but when he thought about doing business with his master in the future, the original pure master-disciple relationship would change, and some interest entanglements would be added, which made him feel a little awkward.
"You don't have to think too much, it's just a trivial matter." Mo Juren probably guessed what the other party was thinking and said with a smile,
"You will understand in the future that when a certain number of spiritual stones reaches a certain number, it is just a pure number and not that important. On the contrary, your own cultivation is the key. And the main reason why you are asked to purchase spiritual medicine for Tianhua Tower is Give me a helping hand and meet your own needs."
This was indeed a matter of mutual benefit, but Han Li was still very moved. At least in his opinion, paying the spiritual stones was only one aspect, and more importantly, it was the care that the master gave him again because he cared about him.
Master is not short of spiritual stones, what can’t be bought here in Tianxing City? Even if some things are scarce and cannot be purchased in a short period of time, those shops are not dead and can be reserved. As long as you pay a certain amount of spiritual stones and let those shops help collect them, I don't believe that no one is willing.
His only advantage here is probably that because of the relationship between master and apprentice, it is more secretive and safer, and will not cause too many unnecessary troubles.
Han Li didn't know yet that the other party had already completely opened up the channels of the Star Palace due to Ling Yuling's relationship, so safety and confidentiality were not a problem at all.
And his only advantage is in the magical medicine, which is irreplaceable.
He didn't think much about it, and then he took out a storage bag from his waist and said: "The disciple has really accumulated a batch of elixirs in his hands, and they are all thousands of years old. If you need them, you can put them all together." Take it back."
"These are more than 100,000 spirit stones!" Mo Juren checked briefly and then replied. Han Li is worthy of being the protagonist of cheating. He has probably been letting his avatars cultivate elixirs over the years, and he has accumulated an extremely large amount. There are fifty or sixty thousand-year-old elixirs in the storage bag alone. Even the normal price has already exceeded one hundred thousand. If it were auctioned, the price would be even higher.
"Just give back more and make up less. It won't be too late to give it to the disciples when you come next time." Han Li didn't pay too much attention. He had more elixirs than these, but he just didn't want to take out too many, lest the master would ask. Not easy to answer.
Moreover, he obtained 100,000 spirit stones at once, which was enough for him to use for a long time, and the need for spirit stones in his heart instantly became no longer urgent.
"That's okay." Mo Juren didn't dwell on the matter. He immediately put the storage bag away and continued,
"The jade slips list some old elixirs and some rare spiritual mines and spiritual materials. Don't be in a hurry, just collect them slowly. Ten years, twenty years, or thirty years, in short, I will wait until the next time I become a teacher. Just buy as much as you can when you come back.”
"Don't worry, Master, I'll leave this matter to my disciples." Han Li nodded confidently. He may have to retreat for a long time, and it's not certain when he will be released. However, this does not affect his cultivation of the elixir, which can be left to the incarnation of the outside guard.
After they finished talking about the business, the two began to chat. Han Li suddenly thought of something and suddenly said: "Master, do you still remember the gold-eating insect?"
"What's wrong?"
"Master, come with me!" Han Li smiled mysteriously and immediately stood up and walked towards the secret room. Mo Juren's heart moved, he vaguely thought of something, and he slowly followed up.
