"Hahahaha, it's us, a group of uninvited guests, that disturbed the purity of the Gu family's alchemy. Please forgive me, forgive me!" Elder Yuehai said with his hands.
Gu Meng smiled when he heard this and said, "No, no, my father was very happy when he learned that Elder Yuehai was here. He very much hoped that Elder Yuehai could give him some advice."
"How do I have this qualification? Your father is a man of outstanding talent. Even when I was at my peak, I was far from your father's current level. What's more, my method of alchemy has been abandoned for many years. How can I have the qualifications now? Give your father some advice. I am here just to observe how the seventh-grade elixir is refined."
"Okay, don't stand here talking at the door. Come in quickly." Gu Feng urged with a smile, while pulling Gu Zhen back, "Come on, let's go and count how many medicinal materials are left in the warehouse. And the elixir."
Guzhen's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. He looked back at the figure under the tower behind him and sighed, "No need to check, I have already checked them all in the morning. At that time, there were a total of thirty high-quality Iron Bone Powder. Fifteen parts are medium and ten parts are low. As for the material of iron bone powder, there are only fifty parts left. I estimate that they have been used completely now, and the finished iron bone powder is very small. It is estimated that the total No more than thirty servings.”
Now that they had walked a little further, Guzhen put on a worried expression.
It was just because of the outsiders' presence that it was difficult for him to tell the Gu family's predicament now. Now that the outsiders were not around, he also expressed his worries.
Although Gu Zhen was at odds with Gu Yu, he was still loyal to the Gu family and did not want to see the Gu family being oppressed by the Xue family.
At this moment, Gu Feng was also very worried about the current situation of the Gu family. In fact, he had been psychologically prepared for the Gu family to lose this competition a long time ago, so he had long been prepared to take the Gu family to evacuate Fulong City. , but although my preparations are good, the most important thing is whether I can convince the Gu family to evacuate.
"I think the Gu family should prepare to evacuate Fulong City!" Gu Feng said after hesitating for a while.
"Oh? Have you really thought about it?" Gu Zhen looked very surprised. Because he has been advocating this idea, but both Gu Yu and Gu Meng are firmly opposed, both want to restore the decline of the Gu family and revive the glory of the past. As for Gu Feng, he has always been on Gu Meng's side.
Therefore, Guzhen was very surprised when he heard what Gufeng said, and he was also wondering why Gufeng had such a big change before and after.
"Rather than saying that I have thought about it now, it is better to say that I have guessed this ending a long time ago. Alas, there is no way to save it!
Now the Gu family has truly reached the end of its rope. The Xue family has completely blocked the medicinal materials market. Even if we have money, we can't buy medicinal materials.
Unexpected! Unexpected! The Gu family, which had been so glorious in the past, would actually be defeated by this mere 100 pieces of iron bone powder in the end.
How ridiculous, what a pity! It's time to leave, and those seemingly sincere partners in the past, and those big families who were good friends with us, are all sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers, waiting for us to counterattack on the verge of death and fight to the death with the Xue family. It's time to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. "
Gu Feng's words hit the nail on the head and analyzed the difficulties faced by the Gu family today.
Guzhen was also silent at this moment. Now it is precisely because the Gu family is weaker than the Xue family that they are trapped everywhere and cannot lift their head up under the pressure of the Xue family.
Trapped in one place, trapped everywhere.
Tomorrow at noon is the time for Bingshan to inspect the finished products of the two iron bone powder refiners, and it is also the time for him to announce who will be responsible for supplying the elixirs that Bingshan's army will need for future marches and battles.
This business is enough to make any family leap over the dragon gate overnight. It can be said that no family in Fulong City can resist the temptation.
However, despite this, the Gu family still missed this opportunity to turn around.
"That's all, time is destiny. If this ancient jade doesn't refine this rubbish elixir and doesn't waste a lot of resources, we might still have some chances!" Gu Zhen clenched his fists and said bitterly.
"Alas, what our Gu family lacks at this time is not money, but those alchemists and medicinal materials for refining iron bone powder. Although he does consume a lot of resources to refine these seventh-grade elixirs, these are not enough for the Gu family. , it’s also a drop in the bucket…”
"A drop in the bucket? I'm afraid you are blind. Do you know that just for his inability to refine the elixir, almost hundreds of thousands of silver taels are consumed every year. With this money, I can train ten low-level alchemists for the Gu family. come out!"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, I have already made a plan. When the results of the competition come out at noon tomorrow, we will start migrating with the Gu family." Gu Feng said.
"Then... how have you considered the matter I discussed with you before?" Gu Zhen asked.
"We can't get involved in this kind of thing. Instead of asking me for my opinion here, you might as well ask her directly. If she is willing, then she is willing. If she is not willing, there is nothing I can do." Gu Feng spread his hands and said: He looked helpless.
Although from the bottom of his heart, Gu Feng also hopes that Gu Meng can stay in the Gu family, but he does not want to interfere too much in this important matter of marriage, and although the son in Guzhen seems to be extremely talented and a rare talent, he has a bad mind. This made Gu Feng not want to say anything nice to help Gu Shi.
"That's all. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I won't interfere any more. Let's go. Now that you agree with the Gu family to withdraw from Fulong City, then Miss Gu Meng and Patriarch Gu Yu will no longer be stubborn. I’ve seen it. It’s better to leave, so that you don’t have to suffer from the Xue family’s cowardice in Fulong City. Let’s go discuss the evacuation matter.”
The ancient town slowly left one after another, their backs gradually submerged under the curtain of night.
As for the black tower.
Gu Mengzheng led everyone through the slightly narrow passage with a smile on his face.
Although the passage is narrow, the air is extremely fresh, and there is a strong herbal fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Both sides of the passage are covered with a strange blue vine, with green flowers blooming on the vines. In each flower is a flawless white glass ball-like object, emitting bright light and illuminating it. Lighting the way forward for everyone.
Jiang Xianfeng was amazed when he saw such a magical thing, and asked curiously, "What is this? How come it is so wonderful?"
Before Gu Meng could answer his question, Elder Yuehai stroked his beard and explained with a smile, "This is called the deep-sea coral vine. Don't listen to its name and think that it can only survive in the deep sea. In fact, it can only survive in the deep sea. It can survive not only in the deep sea, but also on land. This is because its vitality is extremely tenacious. However, the medicinal value of this herb is very low, and it is rarely used in the refining of elixirs.
As far as I know, among the elixirs, only the first-grade elixir Qingxin Wuyu Pill and the fourth-grade unpopular elixir Hongyue Yingyan Pill require the use of its roots and the fruits of its flowers respectively.
So it seems that its main purpose is to be used in warriors' caves for lighting. "
"I see, I understand! Thank you, elder, for clearing up the confusion!" Jiang Xianfeng said with a smile and nodded.
Elder Yuehai stroked his beard and gave a confident smile, then turned to Gu Meng and asked, "Miss Gu Meng, am I right?"
Gu Meng praised, "Of course! There is nothing wrong with what Elder Yuehai said. He is worthy of being known as Fulong City's Bai Xiaosheng!"
"Hahahahahaha, it's just a false name! It can't be taken seriously!" Yue Hai said modestly.
boom
At this moment, a loud sound came from the back of the team, as if someone had been slapped, causing everyone to look back.
At the end of the team was Yiniao leading the pig demon. At this time, the pig demon was leaning against the wall of the passage with his head lowered.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Yiniao scratched his head and said, "Nothing's wrong, it's just that a mosquito flew on me just now, and I slapped it to death!"
"Oh, that's it..."
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved and continued to move forward.
However, Gu Meng did become a little confused. Logically speaking, the black tower was rarely opened on weekdays, and where did the mosquitoes come from in this cold winter weather.
The more Gu Meng thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything else that could happen to this person and the pig.
Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head with a strange expression on her face, looking at Yiniao and the pig demon.
The pig demon's huge body was still pressed against the wall, and Yiniao put one hand on the pig demon's head, with an ugly smile on his face.
"Hey... Hey, Gu Meng... Why don't Miss Gu Meng leave? Keep... keep walking!" Yidiao stuttered.
Gu Meng said with a strange expression, "Although this deep-sea coral vine is a third-grade medicinal herb, generally no one will eat it because its taste... is really hard to swallow, and it is also slightly toxic, eh ...Try not to eat this!"
"Yes, yes, although this deep-sea coral vine is a third-grade medicinal herb, it is easy to
It grows in cultivation, but few people grow it and eat it. I remember the description of its taste in ancient books is as follows: extremely bitter, extremely smelly, and extremely sticky. Do not eat it unless you have to...
I don’t think even one person can eat this thing. Speaking of this, I remembered that some warriors swore that they would like to take this deep-sea coral vine, saying, if I do something, just let me go. Eat deep-sea coral vines!
Hahahahahaha, let me tell you, I heard that this stuff tastes worse than dried shit!
By the way, speaking of which, why are you suddenly talking about this? "
Elder Yuehai asked Gu Meng in confusion. Gu Meng withdrew his gaze from Yiniao and Pig Demon, shook his head at Elder Yuehai, and said, "I just suddenly remembered this matter, so I just said it by the way. Mouth, nothing’s wrong!”
After saying that, Gu Meng quickened his pace slightly and continued to lead everyone deeper.
Everyone looked back at Yiniao and Pig Demon in confusion.
Yiniao still had that ugly smile, and the pig demon still lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing.
"Why are you two hanging around behind there?" Liao Meng asked curiously.
"No...nothing to do!" Yi Niao said.
Although everyone still had some doubts in their hearts, they were too lazy to pay attention to them, and stepped up their pace and continued to follow Gu Meng forward.
Seeing that everyone was starting to leave, Yiniao started walking with the pig demon. He saw that where the pig demon had previously blocked the place with his body, the deep-sea coral vines had gnawed a large gap...
As for the reason why the pig demon lowered its head, it was also because its face was full of sadness.
The sunken eye sockets were full of bloodshot eyes, the blackened face was shocking, there was already a circle of white foam on the mouth, and the dark hair had already flowed into a pool on the ground.
Yiniao kicked the pig demon in the butt and sent a message to it fiercely, "I let you eat, I let you eat. Now you're fine. You've eaten such a good baby. You'll feel happy in your heart and your stomach will feel better!" "
"I...how did I know that this thing is inedible...this...this...it's not all my fault!"
The pig demon suddenly felt aggrieved, and he could only break his teeth and swallow the pain in his heart.
At this moment, its stomach is full of turmoil, and it can't believe the fart at the moment. It's afraid that it won't be able to hold it back later, and it will explode here.
puff……
The pig demon held his hind legs between his legs, held it in for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally hesitantly and tremblingly let out a long and graceful fart...
"Fortunately, it's really... it's a fart! I still... made the right bet!" The pig demon said weakly, "I... I might really be unable to hold it in anymore..."
"Meow! Then you have to hold it in for me!" Yi Niao hurriedly said.
The next moment, the pig demon's fart quickly spread in the passage, and the smell, like a piece of shit being poured into his nose, ignited in Yiniao's heart, which made him immediately start running, rushing away from everyone along the way. .
"Hey! Yiniao! Why are you running? Are you being chased by a ghost?"
"You guys bumped into me! Why are you running here? You must be stunned!"
…………
Everyone didn't understand why, but the next moment, the pig demon also spread his hooves and started running, also stunk by his own fart.
After running for a certain distance, Yiniao finally couldn't smell the smell anymore, so he stopped and breathed in fresh air.
"You...you guys, hurry up...run! This thing...farted...a fart..." Yitiao said intermittently while panting to calm down.
Less than three breaths had passed, and the pig demon had just run up to Yiniao. Before he could stop, everyone was running behind him.
"You...what the hell is going on...what smells so smelly!" Jiang Xianfeng covered his nose, the expression on his face was distorted. He had to say that the smell he smelled just now was definitely his. The smelliest smell I've ever had.
Jiang Zhiyuan also frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with the smell just now.
Gu Meng, who was supporting Elder Yuehai, fixed his evil eyes firmly on Yinia.
Yi Niao's eyes flickered, not daring to make contact with everyone's angry eyes.
However, unable to withstand the questioning of everyone, Yiniao quickly sold the pig demon.
"This... is the fart that the pig just farted!"
But his explanation was not understood by everyone...
