No matter how ugly the Dongzhan Master's grimace was, since he finally agreed to sell the fake lightning strike wood at a unit price of fifty yuan, it showed that he must have made a profit.
For Wu Sheng, both options of getting the refining formula and purchasing the finished product directly have their own pros and cons. The advantage of the former is that it will not get stuck, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Everything about refining fake lightning wood requires Wu Sheng. Come on your own. So far, the number of replacement materials has exceeded the fifteen in the original formula of Qingling Pill, reaching twenty-three. The search has not been completed yet. When all materials can be replaced, the number will probably be doubled.
Without a stable source of materials and no one to help him, it would be very difficult for Wu Sheng to do it by himself. Even if he could make it, the output would be extremely limited and would not be able to meet his cultivation needs.
Purchasing goods directly from Master Bamboo Shoots is equivalent to adding a helper. In addition to the fake lightning strike wood, you can also ask him to handle some materials on your behalf, which can save a lot of time and free up a lot of energy.
To put it bluntly, this is building a team.
After finalizing the Master of Winter Bamboo Shoots, Wu Sheng continued to work hard to fill in the blanks in the form. Every ten days, he went to the market on the shore of Lianpu, occasionally buying a spiritual material, and spent most of the time visualizing, looking for an alternative to refining elixirs. s material.
After two months of shopping like this, he became familiar with the various black shops in Lianpuji. Many black shopkeepers knew about Songzhu Yayuan and knew that there was a guy who called himself Songzhu layman who liked to visit the market and look at ware and utensils. I look at spiritual materials very carefully and slowly, and occasionally buy one or two.
Over the past two months, Wu Sheng continued to discover alternative materials. The blank items on the form gradually decreased, leaving only six. This meant that if he found materials containing these six colors, he could start making elixirs. According to experience , maybe contained in four or five spiritual materials. If you are lucky, you can find two spiritual materials and all of them can be replaced.
Master Dong Bamboo has successfully refined two pieces of lightning strike wood. Wu Sheng paid one hundred Wen for this. The output is a little lower, but Wu Sheng has not yet started construction, so he is not in a hurry.
What worried him was that the money that usually allowed him to eat and drink for one or two years had bottomed out in less than three months, and he was back to the days of worrying about money.
While I was thinking hard about ways to make money, someone came to my door. It was also the first time that a visitor came to Songzhu Yayuan.
Peach Blossom Girl knocked on the firewood door and said happily: "I have long said that I would come to Songzhu Yayuan to see Fellow Daoist Shen, but I never got around to it. Today I came uninvited. Don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist Shen... Oh, it's really a nice place." …”
Wu Sheng welcomed people in. Mr. Shi was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, and his father-in-law walked to the deep pool to watch the fish. The peach blossom girl was wandering around in various rooms, constantly praising Wu Sheng's good skills in building the house. Fortunately, the stone cave behind the main house was well hidden and Peach Blossom Girl didn't notice it for a while, otherwise Wu Sheng would have stopped her.
After visiting for a while, they finally gathered back in the courtyard. The four of them sat across from each other while Wu Sheng made tea for them.
He still didn't see Wei Sheng, so he asked casually: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Taoist friend Wei Sheng?"
The father-in-law of the Hoe He smiled "haha", while the peach blossom girl snorted, and Wu Sheng was startled: "I asked presumptuously."
Shi Laodaodao: "It doesn't matter, I was going to tell Xiaoyou Shen that Wei Sheng is dead."
Wu Sheng said "Ah": "Sorry..."
Boss Shi obviously had no intention of explaining, so he went straight to the point and said, "I came here today to ask my friend if I want to make a deal."
He was so sleepy that he bumped into the pillow. Wu Sheng was worried about not making any progress, so of course he was interested in it: "I'd like to hear the details."
Boss Shi muttered: "In Langshan, it is a rule not to ask about the origin of the other party, but for today's matter, I have to ask... Don't worry, I don't ask about anything else, just a few details, little friend Have you ever killed anyone? What level of cultivation have you killed?"
Three pairs of eyes were fixed on Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng fell silent, thinking quickly in his mind. After a moment, he replied: "I killed Xu San in Pengcheng."
As an assassin in the past, Wu Sheng had killed many people, but Xu San was one of the rare people to kill without accepting payment. No one knows who killed him so far, and it would not reveal Wu Sheng's identity if told. real identity.
Xu San is well-known in Huaishang, and is famous in Pengcheng for his body skills. His cultivation is not at the peak of Qi refining, but he is also a good player in the Qi refining realm. Wu Sheng told them that he killed Xu San, which is equivalent to showing his strength, not counting. Although he was flamboyant, it was enough to make most Qi refiners fearful. As long as they inquired about it, they would know Xu San's cultivation. If they wanted to take action against Wu Sheng, they would have to think carefully. This is also a way for him to protect himself.
Peach Blossom Girl immediately covered her mouth and shouted softly: "Xu San, the flying thief on the Huai River?"
Boss Shi and the father-in-law had obviously never heard of this person. Peach Blossom Lady explained to them: "He was a flower picker. He was killed on the bed when he committed a crime three years ago. I didn't expect that it was Taoist friend who did it. Even if Taoist friend Shen doesn't Let's start, I also planned to come to the door to get rid of this scourge."
Boss Shi asked her: "How?"
Peach Blossom nodded.
Mr. Shi nodded and said to Wu Sheng: "Take a batch of goods. After the work is completed, we will divide it. Are you willing?"
Wu Sheng knows the rules. He used to be like this when he was an assassin. When there is no promise, he only knows so much. Only when he agrees, will he tell everything. Sometimes, even when he gets to the bottom of the field, the employer will explain everything. The difficulty of a task is a bit like making a bet. Some are easy, and some are indeed difficult, but even if it is difficult, it cannot be too outrageous. Employers also have considerations about the difficulty of the task and the type of people they hire to complete it. Don't mess around randomly.
Boss Shi said "pick up a batch of goods", but he was actually a gangster. Wu Sheng could only smile bitterly after hearing this. Since the three of them came to invite him in person, it would be difficult to refuse. He had already let it out, saying that he had killed Xu. Third, it is no longer possible to change your words. If you refuse at this time, problems will arise.
"How to divide it?" Wu Sheng asked.
The father-in-law said: "Boss Shi will take four, I will take three, Peach Blossom Lady will take two, and the remaining one will be yours."
Peach Blossom Girl smiled and said: "Don't be too young. When I first joined, I was just like you, and so was Obi."
As a newcomer, Wu Sheng was mentally prepared for this, and with his ability, he was indeed not qualified to get more. During the few months he spent in Langshan, he also made insidious inquiries into the strength of the Blue Bridge quartet.
Boss Shi’s name is Shi Men, and he has reached the realm of refining gods. His father-in-law is at the peak of refining qi. Although Peach Blossom Girl is a little worse, her archery skills are very unique. The three of them are old people, and the information belongs to them. It’s normal to take more.
The question is, can I get my share with confidence? If you really want to fight, even if you have a golden rope in your hand, it will only be useful against enemies who have cultivated gold in the Five Elements. What will you do if you show your cowardice? Will it be a hindrance? Will he even be killed by the angry three people with a backhand?
"Why are you looking for me?" Wu Sheng asked.
This issue is important to him.
