Shen Yueniang's attitude made Wu Sheng feel uncomfortable, and he was also thinking in his heart, could he have offended her? It shouldn’t be. This is the first time we’ve met, right? Or maybe she just has this temperament?
It is difficult to guess a woman's mind, and he has no time to guess. His purpose is to learn the refining method of the Longevity Pill, to see if he can master this rare craft, and to prepare "eating food" for his extremely hungry Qi Hai. "It doesn't matter much whether Shen Yueniang has a good or bad opinion of him.
Well, Wu Sheng still admitted in his heart that this girl looked quite attractive, but after rolling his eyes, he basically stopped thinking about it. He was not a person who put a hot face on a cold butt.
Jin Wuhuan also saw a hint of it and asked his wife doubtfully: "Yue Niang doesn't like Brother Wu? Brother Wu is a talented person, in terms of handsomeness, he almost doesn't belong to me, in terms of character..."
Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him: "Is your husband very handsome? It's hard to say how I look, but the way my husband walks is impressive."
Jin Wuhuan quickly stopped jumping and changed his steps twice: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me."
Mrs. Shen then had no choice but to explain: "Yue Niang is someone who can't hide her thoughts. She puts her likes and dislikes directly in her heart. She doesn't say bad words. She has already restrained herself. She is not willing to bring strangers with her."
Jin Wuhuan hurriedly asked: "You didn't reveal Brother Wu's identity, did you?"
Madam Shen said: "Of course not, that's why Yueniang is even more displeased. I don't blame Yueniang, I'm afraid no one else would be happy."
Privately refining and taking Longevity Pills are strictly forbidden by Jixia Academy. It would definitely be a taboo to bring a stranger into the process. If Jin Wuhuan hadn't sworn that it was impossible for Wu Sheng to expose the informant, and if he wanted to make elixirs without him, Yueniang would definitely not agree.
Jin Wuhuan was helpless, but it was difficult to mention this to Wu Sheng. If he said it, he would inevitably have the intention of driving him away, so he could only speak vaguely and blame it on Yueniang's temper.
From Jieshou Mountain to Pingyu, the four of them hurried on and walked for a whole day before finally arriving.
Pingyu is a small city under the jurisdiction of the Cai State. The Chu State's wanted notice for Wu Sheng was not seen at the city gate. Although the unreliable portrait on the notice would be useless if hung, the pressure on Wu Sheng's head was still there. Greatly reduced.
As for the reward from Jixia Academy, it is only circulated in the cultivation world, and Wu Sheng has not seen it so far.
This feels good.
It is a small town with less than a thousand households, just a cross street. Although the Shen family has been destroyed, its heritage is still there. It can be regarded as the largest clan in Pingyu. The spacious house occupies a quarter of Pingyu city.
With the death of her father, Mrs. Shen's branch had already been separated, but according to the genealogy, Jin Wuhuan still enjoyed the treatment of an uncle and lived in a double courtyard in the southeast.
Mrs. Shen slowly walked around the courtyard for a long time, stroking a laurel tree in the corner of the courtyard, sat back on the stone bench in the corridor, and said softly: "I haven't been back for a long time..."
Jin Wuhuan held his wife's hand and sat with her for a long time, relatively speechless.
Wu Sheng found a room to settle down, took a look around, and asked Jin Wuhuan: "Look at the rules of this house. The Shen family is quite impressive. Do you still need to pay for it?"
Jin Wuhuan said: "It's big on the outside but weak on the inside. It's just an appearance. Marquis Cai didn't allow Shen to manage the fields, mountains, forests, and rivers. So he sat there for thirty years. In fact, he was already unbearable and could barely maintain his dignity. At that time, my father-in-law asked for longevity. Dan, the Shen clan tried its best to help, hoping to become a high-level cultivator in the realm of refining gods, but the longevity pill was refined, and the life span was also increased. However, the retreat did not break through, and people left. It was a waste of time. There were huge complaints among the clan, so my wife ran away angrily. Now that she is back, she actually means to make amends."
Wu Sheng nodded, that's it, and asked: "How much gold is needed to refine the longevity pill?"
Jin Wuhuan subconsciously looked around and told Wu Sheng: "Our people say that the longevity pill is good, but here, there is no such thing as the longevity pill. What we need to refine is the Qingling Pill. It can calm the mind and help people break through the situation. Only That’s all.”
Wu Sheng smiled: "I understand."
Jin Wuhuan said: "Refining a Green Spirit Pill requires two main herbs and thirteen auxiliary herbs. Each preparation costs about six to seven thousand yuan. When refining, three ingredients can produce one Even if you have excellent luck, you often have to prepare five or six copies to be sure. A single pill can cost as little as 20,000 yuan and as much as 30,000 or 40,000 yuan."
This is enough money for ten years of living expenses for an ordinary family of five. If converted into magical artifacts, it can be used as dozens of low-grade magical artifacts, or more than a dozen medium-grade magical artifacts, or two to three high-grade magical artifacts.
No wonder Jin Wuhuan wanted to go bankrupt and came here with four pieces of gold to refine a longevity pill, but he was still far from it.
The bounty offered by the State of Chu and Jixia Academy for the assassin Wu Sheng was a total of twenty yi gold, equivalent to 20,000 yuan. Even a so-called "Qingling Pill" was not enough.
But as long as a monk in the realm of refining the gods emerges, the expenses will be guaranteed. If one can cultivate in the realm of returning to the virtual world, it will be a huge profit. Therefore, the world is flocking to this, but it is a pity that the longevity elixir is controlled by Jixiaxue. In the hands of the palace, the amount of elixirs produced each year is limited, and it cannot be bought with money alone. Whether to give it to someone or not depends on the face of Jixia Academy.
Wu Sheng judged with a villain's heart and became more and more certain that the reason why Jixia Academy dealt with Mu Taoist had a lot to do with this.
Although it costs a lot of money, in Wu Sheng's view, this is not a big deal. After it is made, it will be doubled and the longevity pill market will be promising!
But Jin Wuhuan once again hit his confidence: "How can it be that easy? The two main herbs, Turmeric Ganoderma and Evergreen Green Feather, are rare in the world, and they are both elixirs that are prohibited from harvesting by Jixia Academy. All countries must turn in whatever they produce. It is not easy to find them, and there are huge risks. Even if you are lucky enough to refine one or two, they are kept for the emergencies of your family or close relatives. How can you sell them? "
Well, Wu Sheng had nothing to say, so he had to suppress his eagerness to take the pill and see how to refine the pill first.
"When will you start making alchemy?"
"The Shen family has collected two main ingredients and is now purchasing the remaining auxiliary ingredients. Among them, my wife has already gone out to buy three auxiliary ingredients. Just wait a few days."
The elixir was extremely precious, so Jin Wuhuan would certainly have some reservations. He would not tell Mrs. Shen about the three key auxiliary medicines among the thirteen flavors. He only asked Mrs. Shen to find them. Mrs. Shen would naturally not be stupid enough to tell. tribesmen.
As for Wu Sheng and Jin Wuhuan, there is no need to hide it. The friendship between the two is a matter of life and death. Is there any need to hide it?
"Brother Wu, to be honest, I was not sure when I came to Pingyu to make elixirs. Even though I made elixirs with my teacher at that time, I only remembered the amounts of two main ingredients. I never knew how much the rest of the auxiliary ingredients were. Please ask me this time. When Brother Wu comes over, you and I need to go over the details together."
Wu Sheng thought for a while and asked: "Analysis of Longevity Pill...Okay, Qingling Pill, what are your regulations?"
