"The giant door slowly opened by itself!"
"As soon as the door opened, a magnificent hall appeared in front of me. As soon as I saw the giant door opened, I hurried in and walked in. Guess what I saw?"
Liangchen suddenly stopped and asked with a horrified expression.
"What did you see?" Qiu Xinmeng was frightened by his startled tone and became very nervous.
"There was an old man with white hair and beard sitting in the middle of the hall! The old man pointed his finger and I was arrested on the spot!
The old man said with an angry face,
'I have been in seclusion here for nearly a thousand years, refining elixirs, and have not been reborn in the world for nearly a thousand years. I just came out of seclusion in the past few days. It is fate that you can find my mansion. But you smashed and chopped in front of my door for several days and nights. If I hadn't happened to be out of seclusion and disturbed my alchemy, what kind of crime would you have deserved? '
I quickly begged for mercy, saying I didn't mean to offend.
The old man with white beard said again,
'Even if you are destined, I will give you three great opportunities. Are you willing? '
When I heard about the great opportunity, of course I quickly nodded and said yes.
The old man with the white beard went on to say,
'In order to punish you for your offense, of course you have to take considerable risks. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your luck! Have you thought about it? '
I worked so hard to get here, how could I give up so easily? Even saying, 'Think about it, think about it! '
The old man with a white beard stroked his snow-white beard and said,
'It's easy to say, but it's hard to say. I ask you a question. If you can answer it, I will give you an elixir! '" Liangchen said.
"Elixir of transformation! It is said that taking one pill below the golden elixir can directly advance to the first level?"
Qiu Xinmeng seemed to have heard of this elixir, and interrupted Liangchen's words in surprise.
"Yes! When I heard it was an elixir, I was so excited that I quickly thanked you.
The old man with a white beard said, "Don't thank me yet. Whether you can get the elixir depends on yourself." If you answer all three questions, I will give you three. Of course, if you can't answer the question, you have to take a San Gong Pill. '" Liangchen continued.
"San Gong Pill, what is that?" Qiu Xinmeng asked again as if she had never heard of this kind of pill.
"Of course the San Gong Pill is for dispersing Kung Fu! It's a poison that will dissipate all the magic power and drop you to a lower level if you eat it!" Liangchen looked like he didn't even know this.
"I was so fascinated by the elixir that I couldn't ask anything else. I quickly said, then you can ask!"
The old man with a white beard took out a golden scale and a mutton-fat jade bottle, then poured out eight shining silver elixirs from the jade bottle and said,
'The eight elixirs weigh one tael, and one of them is a slightly heavier fake pill. The scale can only be used twice. How to find fake elixirs? I'll give you half an hour. '
After the old man finished speaking, he stopped talking. "Liangchen said.
"We found a fake elixir among the eight elixirs. Have you found it?" Qiu Xinmeng asked nervously.
"It's a pity that I'm too stupid to think that it takes at least three times to pick out the fake elixir. I asked the old man, it takes at least three times, how can it be done twice?
The old man with a white beard said, 'First divide the eight elixirs into two parts, one with two pills and the other with six pills.
Then when weighing for the first time, divide the six into two parts, three on each side. If they are flat, the remaining two will be one true and one false.
If one side is high and the other is low, then there is a falsehood in high school.
Take out two of the three tallest ones and weigh them a second time. If they are even, the remaining ones are false.
If one is high and the other is low, high is false. '
While demonstrating, the old man found the fake elixir and gave it to me, asking me to take it!
I was helpless, but had no power to resist, so I had no choice but to submit. I felt a cramp in my Dantian, and my state dropped from foundation building to the late stage of Qi training. "Liangchen said with a painful expression, holding his stomach.
"Ah!" Qiu Xinmeng said softly, covering her mouth.
"I'm not willing to give in! So I asked the old man to ask the second question.
The old man took out five more golden elixirs and said,
'There are now a total of twelve golden elixirs, and there is still a fake elixir among them, and I don't know whether this fake elixir is light or heavy. You are asked to use the scale three times, how do you find out the fake elixir? '"
Liangchen scratched his head and said.
"Have you answered yet?" Qiu Xinmeng asked nervously.
"Of course not! I can't even answer the eight questions just now, let alone these twelve!" Liangchen said.
"What should we do?" Qiu Xinmeng asked.
"What else can I do! I took another San Gong Pill! After taking it, my state has dropped to the middle stage of Qi training.
The old man with the white beard asked, "Do you want to answer the third one?" '
I thought to myself, that's it, I didn't care about the last question anymore, so I let him continue asking.
The old man put all eleven golden elixirs into mutton-fat jade bottles, then took out four identical jade bottles and said,
'One of the five bottles is full of fake elixirs, and the fake elixirs are 10% heavier than the real elixirs. The scale can only be used once to find the bottle of fake elixir. Give you half an hour! '"
Liangchen spoke slowly.
"It can only be used once? How to find out!?" Qiu Xin dreamed for a while. This question was too difficult and she had no clue.
"Oh, I was thinking too hard and couldn't think of a way. Finally, the time has come.
The old man with white beard said,
'Put these five bottles of elixirs in a row, take one pill from the first bottle, two pills from the second bottle, three pills from the third bottle, four pills from the fourth bottle, and five pills from the fifth bottle. Weigh them together on this scale.
I told you before that this elixir weighs one tael each, so if these fifteen pills are all real elixirs, they should weigh one pound and five taels.
The fake elixir is 10% heavier than the real elixir, so if the first bottle is a fake elixir, it will cost five taels and one pound per catty.
If the second bottle is a fake elixir, it will cost five liang and two cents per catty.
The third bottle is fake, so it costs 50,000 yuan per catty.
The fourth bottle is fake, costing 50,000 yuan per catty.
The fifth bottle is fake, so it costs five taels and five cents per catty.
You see, this is five hundred and two cents per pound, so the third bottle is a fake elixir! '
The old man said as he took out the bottle in the middle of the five bottles. "Liangchen said slowly.
"Ah! It can really be done." Qiu Xinmeng thought about it, and it really made sense.
"The old man took one of the fake pills out of the bottle and gave it to me, so I had to take another San Gong pill.
Alas~ I have dropped to the early stage of Qi training. So now you know the reason why my level is so low! "
Liangchen seemed to be still immersed in memories, looking very sad.
"Is it true?" Qiu Xinmeng said dubiously.
"So don't yell at me from now on. You can say that I was once in a higher realm than you. When you see me, you have to call me senior." Old God Liangchen looked like a senior.
"You want me to call you senior? Wishful thinking! Fire Snake Curse!" Qiu Xinmeng bit her silver teeth, pinched the spell in her hand, and wanted to teach Liangchen a lesson.
"Help! I can't afford to offend her! This woman will change her attitude no matter what..." Liangchen quickly sped up and ran away.
...
In this way, I help in the shop on weekdays, hunt monsters with Qiu Xinmeng at night, rest for two or three days every other day, and go to Zhihuo Workshop to refine weapons on a good day.
Happy time always flies by, and three months have passed in a flash.
As time goes by, the two people's cooperation becomes more and more tacit, and the materials they collect every day should be able to sell about two or three hundred spirit gold.
Although he didn't fight as much as when he cooperated with Meng Qianshan before, it was still a considerable income.
And there is also news that makes Liangchen happy. Because he often goes to the Zhihuo Workshop to refine weapons, he has become increasingly familiar with the shopkeeper of the Fire Shop, and the shopkeeper gave him half the price.
The low-grade earth fire only charges fifty gold for a whole day, and only twenty-five gold for one night.
This really excited him!
On the other hand, Liangchen's weapon refining skills are becoming more and more proficient. Six or seven swords can be used to make one, and the swords can also be sold for some spiritual gold.
In addition, he was making money from hunting and killing monsters every day, and he felt that he was back to the days when he had too much money to spend.
But this time he understood that no matter how much money he spent, it was not much in the bottomless pit of weapon refining!
Moreover, after these few months of fighting monsters, Qiu Xinmeng's level has improved rapidly, and it seems that she is about to advance to the foundation building stage.
At that time, it is unknown whether she will return to her master's door to practice hard like Sheng Qianshan, or whether she will continue to be with him.
Once she leaves, he will have to consider the source of the spiritual gold again.
Therefore, he cherishes the time spent refining each time more and more, and strives for excellence to the best of his ability!
