Jining thought that this time he mainly wanted to try how to refine Bigu Dan, so he purchased some medicinal materials for Bigu Dan such as Polygonatum and Atractylodes from the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to help him buy a medicine cauldron. When the shopkeeper saw that Jining agreed so readily, he was extremely happy and quickly asked the waiters below to prepare what Jining needed.
However, the shopkeeper's eyes were dazzled when he saw a pile of medicinal materials suddenly appeared in front of this young man in ordinary clothes. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he dared not speak.
This shopkeeper must also be a well-informed person, and he has already guessed that the young man in front of him is unusual, which makes him feel scared! He didn't dare to leave, so he could only cautiously accompany Jining to chat in the side hall.
Soon the shopkeeper's whole body was soaked with sweat, and it didn't take long for the shop assistant to pack up the medicinal materials and medicinal cauldrons needed by Jining such as Polygonatum, Atractylodes and other Bigu Dan into a big package and bring them in.
The shopkeeper quickly handed over these things and the settlement of almost one hundred taels of gold to Jining. Jining was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could exchange these medicinal materials for so many yellow and white things. I can't help but think that with the methods of immortal cultivators, it seems that in the mortal world, the glory and wealth that ordinary people pursue throughout their lives are within easy reach for immortal cultivators!
After the shopkeeper handed the things to Jining, he quickly sent Jining out of the Huichun Hall. What Jining didn't know was that the shopkeeper fell seriously ill and was bedridden after Jining left. It took him more than half a year to recover. Many people asked the shopkeeper what serious illness he had, but he kept silent!
After Jining got the medicinal materials, he stayed in the inn. Jining grinds the main medicinal materials of Bigu Dan such as Polygonatum, ginseng, Poria and other medicinal materials into powder, and then boils other medicinal materials for preparing Bigu Dan into a thick concoction in a medicinal cauldron, and then mixes the powdered Polygonatum, ginseng, Poria and other medicinal materials. Glue it with those thick concoctions, and then use your spiritual consciousness to control the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron to form an elixir.
About a quarter of an hour later, the refreshing fragrance of ginseng, polygonatum and other medicinal materials came from the medicine cauldron. Then Jining used spiritual consciousness and object control to guide the already-formed Bigu Pill in the medicine cauldron to a small white pill in his hand. Inside the porcelain bottle.
Jining smelled the refreshing aroma of the elixir in the small white porcelain bottle and seemed a little excited. He did not expect that making the Bigu Pill was so smooth. After refining several batches of the Bigu Dan, only one batch of the elixir failed. After more than half a month of refining, he now has twenty or thirty Bigu Pills in his body. I just don’t know how effective it is yet!
Perhaps it was because the refining of the Bigu Pill went so smoothly during this period that Jining felt much better. Now it happens to be autumn, the weather is suitable, and the store clerk said that there is a place with good scenery outside the city, so Jining planned to go and have a look today, so he walked in the direction the clerk said, and unknowingly he wandered to a place ten meters outside the city. There are still five or six miles away from the place the innkeeper said.
Jining has sparsely built these dilapidated thatched huts along the official road outside the city. They should be built as habitats for some poor people. It seems that although Chen Guonai is a wealthy country, there are still many poor people!
There is a simple tea shed on the roadside of the official road. At the door of the tea shed stands a tall flagpole with the word "tea" written on it. There are a few simple wooden tables and stools in the tea shed. There is a stove standing at the door. The charcoal fire inside was emitting blue flames, and a large copper teapot placed on the stove was emitting a trace of hot steam.
At this time, there were already many passing vendors in the tea shed, stopping to drink tea. Jining saw something interesting about this tea shed, so he walked in and asked for a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts.
The tea used here should be ordinary inferior tea, and the tea brewed does not taste good. Jining enjoys these days very much. Although the tea tastes average, Jining does not care and drinks it leisurely.
Seeing that the time was almost noon, I planned to go to the place mentioned by the waiter and then return to the inn in the city. He stood up to pay the bill and threw a piece of loose silver to the waiter. The waiter said with a bitter face: "Sir, our shop is a small business. The price of a pot of tea is ten copper coins, plus the plate of peanuts, it is fifteen copper coins. If you have more than one or two silver coins, the shop will give you change." Don’t open it!”
Jining felt a little dumb after hearing this. He also remembered that he used to worry about a few pennies in the small town of Hekou. Unexpectedly, he didn't care about a few taels of silver now. Not only did he lament in his heart that the cultivators and ordinary people were no longer the same. A world away.
After thinking of this, Jining waved his hand to the store clerk and said not to look for it. The extra money was given to the clerk. After hearing this, the clerk was so excited that he thanked him profusely!
At this moment, Jining's spiritual sense sensed that several idle men in the tea shed looked greedy at the money Jining gave to the waiter, and they followed him quietly shortly after Jining left. Jining felt a little funny in his heart and didn't care as he walked towards the scenic spots mentioned by the waiter. When he walked out for two or three miles, he saw a few rogues squatting on the roadside. When they saw Jining approaching, their faces were full of smiles. A sly smile. At this time, two of the gangsters slowly approached Jining, and the others surrounded Jining from different directions.
At this time, one of the gangsters pointed at Jining and shouted angrily: "Give me back the money, don't deny it, he just saw you pick up the money I lost." Someone on the side nodded quickly and said: "Yes, that's right. "Then several gangsters squatting on the roadside also gathered around. "Brother, it's not easy for others. If you pick up someone else's silver, you still have to pay it back." "Yes, if you return it to others, they will also thank you!" You said something and I started to help.
Pedestrians passing by walked away after seeing it, fearing that they would be implicated. Jining guessed that it was the money he had just given to the tea shed boy that made these gangsters jealous and provoked blackmail and robbery from these gangsters.
It seemed that these gangsters were doing a lot of evil in the local area, and they planned to teach the gangsters a lesson, so they asked with a smile: "How many silver taels did this guest lose?" The gangster murmured for a long time and said: " I lost fifty taels of silver." The words of several gangsters stopped for a moment, and they thought about how you are so shameless and dare to blackmail fifty taels of silver, but they thought of losing a big piece of silver to a tea shed man in Jining. Not even blinking. Then the eyes became hot and closed tighter, for fear that the fat meat in hand would fly away.
Jining chuckled: "Guys, I did pick up money and something just now, but it's not silver, it's a bank note, which seems to be a thousand taels of silver!"
When several gangsters heard about one thousand taels of silver, one of them almost lost his balance and sat on the ground as if he was struck by lightning. Fortunately, he grabbed the shoulder of his accomplice next to him. Seeing that he almost made a fool of himself, such a shameless person turned pale. red.
The scoundrel who said he lost his money froze when he heard this. He didn't react for a long time. After a while, he shouted with a face deformed by excitement: "Yes, yes, I am a thousand taels of silver notes." After hearing the huge sum of one thousand taels of silver, the rogue could no longer hold back and was ready to rush in and grab it. These scoundrels thought that after grabbing it, they could get more than a hundred taels of snowflake silver, which would allow them to live happily for a few years. I think of the way Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao in Yiheyuan looked at me. How dare you look down on me if you are as white as snowflakes and silver? Thinking of this made these rogues go a little crazy.
Jining secretly used his spiritual power to teach these rogues a lesson, but his spiritual sense found that the middle-aged Taoist priest he had just met in the tea shed was not far from him, and he seemed to be ready to help. At that time, Jining used his spiritual consciousness to scan the middle-aged Taoist priest in the tea shed. He saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest had no spiritual power. However, this Taoist had a slim figure and a long green beard, but he seemed to have an immortal air. Jining thought he was an ordinary person but didn't take it seriously.
However, seeing that the middle-aged Taoist priest wanted to help, Jining put away his spiritual power and saw how things would develop.
I saw the middle-aged Taoist priest leaping over and rushing over. With a flick of his sleeves, a wave of air rushed towards the group of gangsters. The gangsters surrounding Jining almost flipped over and rolled on the ground. Far away, extremely embarrassed.
Seeing how this middle-aged Taoist priest beat the crap out of these thugs with just one move, he seemed to be a master of martial arts. "Although I'm an outsider, I can't tolerate a bunch of gangsters like you here to blackmail and rob me. I won't let you get out of here!" the middle-aged Taoist priest shouted at these gangsters.
When a few rogues realized that they were in trouble, they ran away without caring about anything else. When Jining saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest had helped him out, Jining went up to thank him. The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said very politely: "I was in the tea shed just now, and I saw that the young man was so generous and gave so much money to the tea shed clerk. Doesn't the young brother not know the taboo of not revealing one's wealth when traveling in the world? Like you in the tea shed It would be strange not to encounter rogue gangsters who come to blackmail and rob me! So I saw that my brother is also a kind-hearted person, so I also wanted to help him! "
After hearing this, Jining smiled and bowed in thanks. The middle-aged Taoist priest seemed to have a special sense of fate with Jining. He mentioned that about five or six miles away from here, there was a mountain named Yunjin. Sit down and talk.
The place he mentioned happened to be the place the innkeeper mentioned. However, Jining was surprised that this Taoist priest was obviously an ordinary person, but he seemed to feel something strange about him.
However, seeing that the other party was just an ordinary person, Jining didn't take it to heart and nodded in response: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for taking the initiative to relieve me of my crisis. Xiaosheng is deeply grateful! Now there is no reason why Xiaosheng should not go when Taoist priest invites me. , it looks like we are going to cause a lot of trouble." The middle-aged Taoist priest was in a good mood when he saw that Jining agreed to go to his Taoist temple together.
Then the middle-aged Taoist priest introduced his name as Sun Sheng, and then took Jining in the direction of Yunjing Mountain.
