Think of danger so you seek peace, worry about retreat so you can advance.
Before, I didn't understand why Yan Ziqi approached a little person like me, but now it seemed that there was no ill intention. As a top spiritual alchemist, under his protection, at least for the time being, you don't have to worry about powerful beings taking action against you.
Whether it was the Sky Demon Sword or the captured Xuan Ming Black Armor, there should be many jealous people. With Yan Ziqi's intimidation, they should not attack in Qingcheng.
Back at the inn, Zhuge Qiu is still immersed in the sea of books. The first test is about to take place. This is the moment for a poor scholar to change his destiny.
"Brother Zhuge, I remember I heard you say that there will also be a competition between spiritual masters, and then we will go to the imperial capital to compete." As lunch was approaching, seeing Zhuge Qiu put down his book, Ling Han asked, "Is there a competition among spiritual masters from all over the continent?"
Zhuge Qiu took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Mu, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'm hungry."
Ling Han was speechless. He still had to support a scholar, so he said calmly, "Let's go downstairs and have a drink."
Zhuge Qiu perked up and followed him downstairs. He shouted from the private seats, "Boy, please do as usual."
"Young hero, do you want to try the fresh monkey wine that the inn just got?" The waiter asked, knowing that Ling Han liked to spend a lot of money to drink good wine.
"Oh? Come and try a pot!" Ling Han felt fresh when he heard the monkey wine.
Zhuge Qiu said carefully: "Actually, the martial arts test is the most important thing. After all, spiritual masters are the mainstream in the mainland."
While the waiter was getting a drink, Zhuge Qiu explained: "It can be said that the literary test is for selecting talents for the empire, while the martial arts test is not only for selecting talents, but also for young spiritual masters from various countries to compete for the sake of the country. Win glory and show off your empire."
A competition within the empire is held every five years, and a competition between spiritual masters from all countries in the continent is held every four years, that is, twenty years. It is said that it was an unprecedented event, with generous rewards, and an opportunity for many young spiritual masters to become famous all over the world.
Soon, the waiter brought a yellow gourd as big as two palms and said: "This wine was obtained by a few mercenaries from the ape colony in the mountains and sold to our inn."
"Quickly pour a bowl and have a try!" The ape is a monster in the grassland. In autumn, he collects fruits and finds hollow trees to store them. The essence is dripped and fermented for a whole winter without spoilage to make monkey wine.
The waiter said shyly: "Young hero must have heard of this wine. It is worth a lot of money..."
Ling Han touched the ring and blushed. He had been staying in the hotel for a few days, eating and drinking all day long. The money provided by Zhang Quan had long since gone to the bottom. Su Su had made ten thousand taels of gold from a bet, but he hadn't taken any of it. I'm afraid he had to pay I can’t afford this hard-to-find monkey wine.
Seeing Ling Han's silence, Zhuge Qiu was stunned and thought to himself, isn't this Brother Mu's style?
At this time, Ling Han saw a fat man coming into the inn, Du Fei!
Ling Han was overjoyed and said, "Master Du, come up quickly and I'll treat you to a drink!"
Du Fei shook his head, looked around and saw Ling Han sitting in the private seat. He also showed a happy smile and said: "Ah, Mu Ye! Let me tell you, Mu Ye must stay in the best inn in Jincheng. Finally, It’s not in vain!”
Du Fei swayed over and Ling Han gave him a bear hug, then grabbed the waiter's yellow gourd and filled two bowls of wine. The aroma was fragrant and refreshing. Seeing Zhuge Qiu also pushing the bowl over, Ling Han gave him a look. Wouldn't it affect his reading?
Zhuge Qiu looked at the monkey wine and licked his lips. Ling Han pursed his lips and poured it over for him. The three of them didn't speak. After touching the bowls, they took a small sip and held it in their mouths to taste it carefully.
"Good wine!" Du Feifei said first: "Much better than the Du Kang collected by Zhang Quan!"
Zhuge Qiu nodded, "Sure enough, the best in the world!"
Ling Han tasted the wine and stared at Du Fei with a half-smile but said, "Does it taste good?"
“Delicious!”
"Then pay."
"..."
Du Fei was puzzled and asked: "How did you know that I came with my son?" Then he smacked his lips and said: "Why is this so expensive? Can I still return it?"
Ling Han laughed and asked, "Why, bring money to purchase?"
Du Fei didn't answer and looked at Zhuge Qiu aside. Ling Han slapped his head and said, "I tasted good wine, but I forgot to introduce it."
Zhuge Qiu stood up first and clasped his fists and said: "The next scholar, Zhuge Qiu, was in danger on the way to take the exam. Fortunately, Brother Mu saved him."
Du Fei struggled to stand up with a puffy stomach and clasped his fists: "Du Fei, people in the world call him Master Du! Since he is a friend of Master Mu, he is also a friend of my Master Du. Come and drink together."
After sitting down, Du Fei said sternly in a low voice: "Guangfeng Village is starting to prepare for action. I came here today to help the brothers purchase a batch of healing elixirs and to ask for your help."
Then he turned into a bitter melon face and said: "I brought three thousand taels, and this is half left..."
Ling Han smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "As long as I'm here, you won't have to worry about losing a thousand pieces of gold!" After thinking about it carefully, this jug of wine is worth a thousand pieces of gold for only two kilograms? ! It’s so expensive!
"When will the action be taken?" Ling Han knew that Kuangfeng Village was going to be moved to the vicinity of Jincheng, and he guessed that there might be a shopping spree.
Du Fei said: "After I find you, I can take action at any time."
"Okay, leave the elixir matter to me."
The war was about to begin, so Ling Han did not take Du Fei to spend the day and night, and he was tired from the journey, so he let him rest at the inn and came to Xingman Garden alone.
In order to prevent Du Fei from seeing his magic power and to meet Qin Susu, he secretly refined the elixir in her boudoir.
One is Jinchuang Powder and the other is Qi-Building Pill, both of which are low-grade elixirs. It just so happens that the ring contains all the necessary elixirs.
The elixir is included in the back of the ancient book and should be more effective than the elixirs circulating in the market. After all, it is placed together with the magic book.
Sacrifice the red flame cauldron, blood clover, golden peony herb, licorice grass, kapok root... one by one, control and put them into the cauldron for refining. It is completed quickly with familiarity and the failure rate is not high. It is refined by a middle-grade spiritual alchemist. The low-grade elixir can be said to be handy.
The essence of several kinds of spiritual herbs is condensed into fist-sized pills, which are divided into small particles with essence and put into porcelain bottles.
It took about two hours to collect 30 large bottles of each of the two elixirs. Each bottle contains fifty pea-sized pills. Among them, the Jinchuang Powder only needs to be crushed and sprinkled on the wound. The Qi-Building Pill can be taken internally to quickly restore energy. And it has the effect of replenishing blood.
The two most common elixirs in the world are essential for spiritual masters.
Spirit stones are only used for cultivation. They are absorbed and converted into essence to impact the meridians. The essence cannot be quickly restored, so Qi-replenishing pills are needed to restore combat power during battle.
When Ling Han brought this batch of elixirs back to the inn, Du Fei was stunned and exclaimed: "There are so many, where did you get so much money?"
Suddenly thinking that Ling Han seemed to be a spiritual alchemist, he felt relieved and said: "Did you refine all these? I thought you went to collect spiritual herbs, but I didn't expect that you brought back ready-made products."
"How about it, is it enough?" Ling Han said proudly.
"Enough, of course it's enough!" Du Fei rolled his eyes, hugged Ling Han and said, "I think we can just open a shop to sell the elixir. If you refine it and I sell it, why are you acting like bandits?"
Yes, you can make a lot of money selling elixirs. Just look at Yan Ziqi and Yi Bin.
"There are less than ten spiritual masters in Kuangfeng Village, and the rest are ordinary people." Du Fei took three bottles each and seriously asked: "In the evening three days later, meet outside Qingcheng!"
"Okay!" Ling Han nodded sincerely in agreement.
This is the so-called emergency rescue. A person's power is always limited. Only by joining a group to keep warm can a large area of the sky be illuminated.
