"It's not much. The treatment fee is 70 gold, and the loss caused by the attempt to kidnap our senior brother totals 800 gold and 70 gold."
Xu Zhi'an spoke loudly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said these words, the young man's face turned red and he was angry, but he still wanted to worry about something and didn't speak.
The one-legged middle-aged man was also shocked when he heard this number. But looking at the young man's appearance, his heart sank again and said: "My nephew has offended you. I apologize deeply, but this number is too large. Can you Let my nephew come over first, and then we can sit down and discuss the debt issue."
The young man glanced at Xu Zhi'an and A Niu. Seeing that they had no expression, he tentatively walked forward. When he felt that he was not blocked, he put his mind back and walked quickly towards the middle-aged man.
The young man was actually overthinking it. Xu Zhi'an had no intention of restricting A Niu's freedom ever since he asked A Niu to untie him. The so-called eight hundred gold was just a preemptive bargaining move. In fact, the purpose was always the elixir and a few points. I'm just a little curious about the young man's purpose of tying himself up to save others.
After the young man walked up to the middle-aged man, he briefly told the cause and effect in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man sometimes frowned and was shocked. Finally, he raised his brows and looked at Xu Zhian's eyes a little more solemnly. It was obvious that he was Already knowing the identity of Xu Zhi'an as an immortal cultivator, he spoke solemnly: "Master Immortal, don't blame us for our rude behavior. The ginseng plant is still there, but a little has been used. If possible, we are willing to give Other compensation.”
Xu Zhi'an frowned. Miraculous medicines are different from ordinary medicinal materials. Ordinary people who eat them by mistake without using a specific method are equivalent to taking something highly poisonous. From what the middle-aged people said, they seem to have mastered this method and have paid the price. Zhu Xian couldn't help but become curious and said: "Hand over the remaining part first, and we will talk about compensation later."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man patted the blood-red spider gently with his palm. The spider seemed to understand what the middle-aged man meant. It moved its eight legs and walked to the room behind it. After a while, it ran back with a solid wooden box in its mouth. , the fur all over his body trembled, actually trying to please the middle-aged man like a puppy asking for credit.
The middle-aged man patted the spider again, and then the spider reluctantly walked towards Xu Zhi'an with the box in its mouth. When it came to Xu Zhi'an, several pairs of compound eyes were like dark pearls, staring at Xu Zhi'an curiously.
Xu Zhi'an found it interesting. This spider was huge and scary, but he didn't expect it to be somewhat spiritual. It seemed to have its own personality and mind. In many of its actions, it looked like a child.
After Xu Zhian reached out and took the wooden box, the spider still didn't leave. It wasn't until the middle-aged man coughed slightly that he reluctantly walked back. Xu Zhian laughed dumbly and didn't care about it. After opening the wooden box, The century-old blood ginseng plant was clearly there, but unfortunately there was only one main body left, and those branches and roots had indeed been used.
"The main body is still there, which is a great blessing among misfortunes. There is no need for compensation. There is still seventy yuan left for treatment. After the settlement, the accounts between you and me will be settled." Xu Zhi'an closed the wooden box and collected the blood ginseng. After I recovered, I was in a good mood, and wanted to end it there, but from the corner of my eye I saw A Niu's melancholy face, so I had to change my topic. A Niu was probably still thinking about the treatment fee, so he couldn't help but want to help his forehead.
The middle-aged man also breathed a long sigh of relief, then took out a money bag from his body, handed it to the spider, and the spider handed it over again.
Xu Zhi'an signaled to A Niu, and A Niu became happy. He took the money bag and opened it, only to find that there were scattered gold and silver inside, but no copper coins. He couldn't help but be stunned.
The middle-aged man opposite said: "The extra silver will be used as an apology to us. I hope the immortal master will not dislike it. I can't afford the eight hundred gold. This is all we have."
Xu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and wanted to refuse, but saw that A Niu's eyes widened when he saw the money and he had already put the money bag away. Seeing this, Xu Zhi'an sighed, hugged the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you very much! Next time you come back to Medicine Pavilion if you are injured or sick, I will decide not to charge you for medical treatment."
After saying that, he kicked A Niu and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man panicked at this moment and shouted quickly: "Master Immortal, wait a minute!"
Xu Zhian and A Niu stopped and had some doubts. Could it be that the other party regretted it and wanted to do something hard?
But seeing the middle-aged man limping, he hurriedly rushed forward, half-bowed towards Xu Zhi'an and A Niu, bowed down, and begged: "Master Immortal, stay here, there is a patient in the room, I hope Immortal Master Show mercy and save someone’s life.”
Before Xu Zhian could ask, the middle-aged man hurriedly added: "I can't take out the silver, but there are a few things that should be useful to the immortal master and can be used as rewards."
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Xu Zhi'an suddenly became interested.
The middle-aged man also has countless experiences and has an extraordinary ability to observe words and expressions. He only glanced at Xu Zhi'an's expression, and immediately took out a palm-sized piece of leather from his personal clothes, presented it to Xu Zhi'an, and said, "This thing was handed down by my Leng family ancestor. What came down is just that we are ignorant and have not been able to fully understand its contents. We can only speculate that it is an alchemy method related to the immortal family and should be useful to the immortal master."
Xu Zhi'an was shocked. He took the seemingly ordinary piece of leather and immediately felt a special temperature coming from it. After carefully observing it, he found that it was actually a piece of human skin. He suddenly felt horrified as his spiritual consciousness invaded this piece of leather. Zhang human skin, but found that there was a layer of white light protection on it, which could not be penetrated for a while. However, there was no doubt that this human skin was indeed related to the immortal cultivator. As soon as his consciousness touched this human skin, the surface of the human skin would Some small text was revealed, which was an alchemy method called "The Way of Humanity".
The middle-aged people on the side looked at Xu Zhian nervously, feeling uneasy. This human skin had been passed down in their family for hundreds of years, but no one could recognize it. Some people even suspected that it was just an ordinary animal skin, used by their ancestors. The thoughts left behind by deceiving future generations.
Xu Zhi'an looked through the pages attentively. After about a cup of tea, his face suddenly changed and his breathing became a little rapid. He nodded to the middle-aged man, put the human skin away calmly, and then said: " This thing is indeed of great use to me! Take me to see that patient."
The middle-aged man was immediately overjoyed. When he took out the human skin before, he was already prepared that the other party wouldn't want it. After all, it looked like just an ordinary animal skin. The reason why he took out this human skin was entirely because of the other party's identity as an immortal master. The shock made him think that the other party might be able to see some clues. Unexpectedly, the other party actually discovered something, and seemed to value it very much. He finally impressed the other party!
Thinking like this, the middle-aged man quickly led the way, bypassing the complicated-looking young man with the sword, and came to the room where the spider had entered before. There was a bed inside, and on the bed lay an old man with a sallow face and a thin body, sleeping deeply. The goatee attracts attention.
Xu Zhi'an frowned when he saw this situation, but when A Niu who was traveling with him saw the old man, he exclaimed: "Village Chief?!"
