Wei Xi looked at Wei An suspiciously, and his look made Wei An blush.
"I'm just short of medicinal materials to get some emergency supplies. I'm a businessman and I value integrity!"
Wei Xi spread his hands and began to clean up the big hole that Wei An missed, and continued to catch the thief who stole her medicinal materials.
"Little Junior Sister!" Wei An shouted after her, while Wei Xi hugged the pine branch and continued to perfect the trap.
"I think it might be a small animal in the mountains. I'll catch it tonight, otherwise every loss of a snow radish will delay my inventory of hot-selling elixirs."
Wei Xi didn't care whether he was his senior brother or not, he just nodded in agreement.
"It is recorded in the "Hundred Plant Records" that the orchid in northern Xinjiang likes to eat snow radish, and the orchid is small in size and cannot eat much."
Senior Brother Wei snapped his fingers to summon the little sparks he carried with him, and leaned down to inspect the crime scene in the medicine field.
"How many days have you lost this amount of medicine in a row?"
Wei Xi thought for a while and made a five.
"Five days. Judging from the number of snow radishes lost, they should be a pair of orchids hatching eggs. No wonder the appetite has increased greatly."
Wei An squatted down and squinted his eyes, "Look! Let's follow these paw prints and look for them."
Wei Xi hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, there were a row of paw prints in the brown soil, which could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
The paw prints disappeared into the low shrubs.
"According to the habits of the orchid bird," Wei An pointed out to Wei Xi, "it should have made a nest in the bush. Search carefully and send the young couple to the Bird Department."
Wei Xi would not send these two thieves to the Bird Department to eat and drink. She would only take these two birds back to the dormitory for herself and Qin Feng as a midnight snack.
Wei Xi didn't even listen to Wei An's nagging about the orchid bird being very ferocious when hatching eggs. If you catch this kind of bird during the day, it may turn into snow. Be careful. She was immersed in the fantasy of eating a thief. A sad smile appeared on his face.
The male hair thief was disturbed. Seeing its crest standing up, Wei Xi finally understood why Zhao Dazui looked so funny with bird feathers in his hair.
The male orchid bird was full of fighting spirit and rushed toward Wei Xi's face like a blue meteor.
The enemy refused to hide, and Lanque made a mistake. It had never thought of this kind of attack, but it was too late to brake. Its claws cut a wound in the middle of Wei Xi's nose, but it was also knocked dizzy.
Wei Xi endured the pain and grabbed the thief, along with his accomplice who was hatching the eggs with narrowed eyes. The couple screamed in horror in Wei Xi's left and right hands, while Wei Xi noted the nose bleeding in the couple's mind. On the thief.
Wei An took out a bird cage from the Qiankun bag, but Wei Xi did not put the bird in it.
Wei An could no longer pretend to be under Wei Xi's scrutinizing gaze, so he took out two high-grade spiritual stones.
"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other. Junior sister, can you give me the orchid bird this time?"
Wei Xi still refused, and raised her chin towards the snow radish field. Wei An nodded resignedly, "I will tell Master that I picked the snow radish, and I will not pick it again in the future."
Only then did Wei Xi feel satisfied. When she saw these two birds, she realized something was wrong. How could two such small birds eat so much? It would be too much for them to eat just one of them. Wei Xi thought in the blink of an eye. Got through everything.
First of all, this mission is very strange. Why did Master Chu Xian grow so many snow radishes, and why did he plant them in the pine forest? You must know that there is no shortage of qualified open space in Yizhangyuan.
Secondly, Wei Xi asked Qin Feng what the market price of snow radish was, and Qin Feng said that she had seen it with her father in the army. It was a very common medicine. Soldiers used it to treat frostbite, and the price was the lowest among elixirs. The spiritual stones used to hire Wei Xi to grow snow radish are enough for Master Chu to buy snow radish.
Finally, Brother Wei, who loves money as much as his life, is here in the middle of the night to help her catch medicine-stealing birds. Wouldn't it be nice for him to go back and make elixirs during this time?
Unless, this snow radish is grown to be a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.
Master Chu Xian probably planted snow radish to attract the orchid bird, which was probably used to make elixirs.
According to the information Wei Xi heard when he went to the cafeteria to pick up food, an elder from the Heaven and Earth Sect had previously placed a large order for Master Chu Xian, asking her to practice an elixir that could hide her figure, named Lanxidan.
And the elusive Tiandi Sect's invitation to the Northern Xinjiang Sect probably reminded Master Chu Xian of this business, and even the timing was right.
Wei Xi boldly assumed that the pair of thieves in his hands were the raw materials for Lanxidan. Master Chu Xian, who grew snow radish during the day and took a beauty nap at night, sent his apprentice to catch the orchid bird. Wei An loves money, so wouldn't it be normal to take some snow radish and make elixirs?
"Children these days are getting smarter and smarter."
Wei An handed the spirit stone to Wei Xi, who was wiping her hands with snow - when Wei Xi stuffed the birds in, one of them splashed bird poop on her hand, "I don't know how you guessed it."
Wei Xi put the spirit stone away, thinking that something good had happened to her. She didn't expect Wei An to give her the market price. After all, she had taken advantage.
"Seriously, you are quite smart. Do you want to learn alchemy from us?"
Wei An covered the bird cage with a cage cloth and put the cage and bird into the Qiankun bag.
Master Chu Xian resisted Master Han. When the new disciples went to observe various departments, the elixir department was closed. Brother Wei doesn't know the details of Wei Xi.
Wei Xi took out the cowhide roll, and then Wei An realized that she was not favored by all the departments of the Qingcheng Sect.
The so-called talent in the world of cultivating immortals actually looks at two aspects, one is Qi and the other is bones.
The Qi Mansion is where the essence of heaven and earth is absorbed, and the Root Bone is the channel for transmitting Qi into Dharma.
The Immortal Destiny Stone measures the Qi Palace. People with Qi Palace are people with Immortal Destiny. They can use the essence of heaven and earth for their own use.
But the root bones have to be touched out. Monks of Foundation Establishment and above will input a gentle magic energy into the subject being tested, and feel the movement of this magic energy in the root bones, and then they will know which path is suitable for the person being tested. .
Wei Xi's innate qualifications for the Qi Palace are extremely poor, but with the Qi Palace she can join the Immortal Sect. But Wei Xi's fundamentals, in the words of that annoying guy from Queniao Si, are "those who are impeded by the road and lack quality, and who want to enter the path of immortality".
Wei An sighed after learning the whole story. He touched Wei Xi's head and said, "Little junior sister, don't be discouraged. Since you are destined to be immortal, don't be afraid of leaving. Sometimes a person's character and wisdom are more rare than talent. If you only focus on talent when cultivating immortals, it wouldn’t be called competing with heaven.”
"But you really have to consider buying elixirs from me. After all, your journey to immortality is very long."
Wei An looked at Wei Xi's angry look and left with a smile.
An angry Wei Xi stood there, squinting as she watched Wei An's figure disappear into the night.
At this time, most of the monks in the Qingcheng Sect were already asleep, but Wei Xi was not sleepy at all. She still has a mess to clean up. Wei Xi backfilled the trap she had dug and cleared away flammable materials such as pine branches. It was almost dawn when she was done.
After packing the tools, Wei Xi was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep. Passing by the place where she captured the pair of thieves, she heard a small voice - she was mute, as if to compensate, her hearing was sharper than ordinary people.
Wei Xi opened the bushes and saw the noise maker in the grass.
Under the pieces of blue fluff left by the thief was the orchid's nest, which contained two light blue eggs with white snowflakes on them. The two eggs are close together, nestled safely in the nest made of snow.
Wei Xi saw that one of the smaller shells had a small crack at the middle, and the crack in one place was gradually widening. Now Wei Xi's thought was that it was lucky that she caught the pair of thieves, and she could make some money after the two chicks hatched.
A lonely bird leg stuck out from the middle of the gap. A similar leg had made a cut on the bridge of Wei Xi's nose not long ago, and then the baby bird got out.
The bird was very ugly when it was born, and it was still covered with egg liquid. Wei Xi was worried that the bird would freeze to death, but unexpectedly the little cub struggled to land on another egg. Wei Xi didn't know the habits of the orchid bird. Just as she was wondering, the cub began to peck at its brother's shell.
Wei Xi thought it would be faster this way, so he allowed Lan Que to save his brother.
But things were not what Wei Xi expected. The orchid bird gave its unborn brother a bite on its thin neck. It was at this time that Wei Xi saw that the little beast's tongue was covered with barbs.
Wei Xi quickly separated the two birds, but it was too late. The bird murdered its brother within half a quarter of an hour after it broke out of its shell.
The little beast still cupped Wei Xi's hand. Wei Xi wanted to see what the little beast could do. She moved her hand away, and the little bird screamed and pounced on her brother's corpse.
Wei Xi's eyes darkened: Is this the price she paid for letting Birds go?
