Chapter 17
At this time, a heroic voice sounded from outside: "Why did I open the middle door? It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming."

"Great, Hall Master is back." Duo Master Luo was beaming with joy.

While talking, a thin old man with a tall figure, white hair and a childlike face, came in. Behind this old man was a man and a woman, both of whom looked less than 20 years old. The man was handsome and carried a sword on his back. , the woman is beautiful, holding a stick of dust, like a servant boy, but also like a disciple.

"Zhu Yuheng at Xia Yushu Gate." The old man gave Xie Xiaoyu a slap in the face.

"I'm Xie Xiaoyu, as for your background... don't worry about it." Xie Xiaoyu sighed.

He sighed not only because of the grievance in his heart, but also because this old man made him feel difficult.

The old man did not put on airs as the head of the sect, but he reasoned as a member of the same sect. He would definitely invite him to have a discussion next time, but he still couldn't shirk it.

He shirked, not just not giving Zhongyitang face, but also not giving Yushumen face, the old man can definitely use Shimen's humiliation as an excuse to attack him.

So he didn't mention Shimen.In other words, it means that he doesn't want to mention the past, and he has nothing to talk about. It's all about sad things.If the other party tried to force him to speak again, it would be unreasonable, and it would be adding salt to the wound.

The old man didn't expect his wonderful move to be dispelled so easily, his heart sank slightly, but he didn't show it on his face, instead he said more gently: "Since you and I are both members of the sect, we can It's fate to meet in Tianbaozhou, I wonder what you want to buy?"

"This little brother wants to buy a prescription for nourishing the meridians and protecting the meridians." Tie Zui opened his mouth and said first.

"In this way, your Excellency has some research on alchemy." The old man asked with a smile.

"A friend of mine knows a thing or two about alchemy. This is a dead horse as a living horse doctor. It is too difficult to get ready-made elixir in Tianbao Prefecture." Xie Xiaoyu still used the same rhetoric.

Regardless of whether these words can deceive others, at least there are no flaws.

"That's no problem." The old man was not sure whether Xie Xiaoyu's words were true or not, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, it was easy to find out whether it was true or not.

"Open the inner vault." The old man ordered.

"Isn't that appropriate? Neiku Zhongdi, if an outsider like me knows the details, it's not good. Anyway, what I want is that simple. If there is such a prescription, just give it to me. By the way, I will give it to you." I also want to buy a pill cauldron, some talisman paper and a talisman pen, it doesn’t need to be very good, as long as it can be used.” Xie Xiaoyu is not stupid, he doesn’t want to accept such unnecessary favors at all.He came here just to do business, to clear money and goods, and to be neither debited nor owed.

The old man couldn't insist any longer, so he had to agree.

The things were brought quickly, a piece of crumpled paper was filled with words, and next to it was a gleaming silver cauldron, the size of a bucket, covered with tadpole runes on the surface.

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, but he shook his head immediately: "This alchemy cauldron is so good, my friend can't use it, and he dare not use it. He is guilty of using biscuits! He is not like me as a sword cultivator. Although he is taller than me, but he really has to fight, he is not as good as me."

Even the words such as the crime of Huai Bi have been uttered, and the old man understands that if he insists on giving this favor, he will be suspected of having ulterior motives. His mouth is in the name of loyalty, and he still cares about his reputation.

As if punching cotton, the old man felt that there was nowhere to use his strength. The other party looked very young, but he was an old man. In desperation, he had no choice but to order: "Take all the danding Come out and let the little brother choose by himself."

Xie Xiaoyu did not refuse this time.

Dan Ding has nothing to do with the safety of a gang, and it doesn't matter if it is known by outsiders. No one can make a fuss about it.

Soon the cauldrons were moved out one by one, all of them were small ones that could be taken with you. There was no need to take out the big cauldrons that weighed ten thousand catties and needed more than a dozen people to carry them.

Xie Xiaoyu had already secretly used the "Dafa of Observing the Heaven and Penetrating the Cave", and his eyes were full of divine light, and his gaze swept back and forth among the cauldrons.

The alchemy cauldrons that were put out were good and bad. Among them, three cauldron furnaces belonged to the same grade as the silver cauldron just now, and there were as many as five or six furnaces that were slightly worse, and there were even more first-class furnaces. Most of them belonged to this grade.

He was about to pick a suitable one out of them, when he accidentally swept across a fist-sized alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace is covered with mottled green patina, there is no halo around the furnace wall, and there is no spiritual energy steaming inside the furnace. The mottled rust can be vaguely seen that there are many small spots on the furnace wall, like stars scattered all over the furnace body, and there are very thin line segments connecting them in the middle.

His heart trembled, and a paragraph of words flashed through his mind immediately.

"Ancient alchemy, the method comes from heaven and earth, and the furnace is the same as human beings. It has meridians, veins, orifices, and acupuncture points..."

The alchemy furnace in front of me completely fits those descriptions. The dots on the surface are acupoints, the connections in the middle are veins, and the nine openings at the bottom are nine orifices.

If a person has nine orifices, he must have extraordinary talent, and if a furnace has nine orifices, it may not be easy.

Not all things from ancient times are good. At that time, everything was just in its infancy, very simple and rough, far less refined and diverse than it is now, but one thing is certain, the things that can survive to this day will definitely not be bad.

The people of the ancient times had no one to educate them, and they could only take the heaven and the earth as their teachers.They observe the movement of the stars, understand the acupoints of the human body, watch the rushing rivers, and understand the circulation of blood vessels.At that time, it was the same for making utensils. The meridians and acupoints were created after imitating the human body, and then injected with the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and let them evolve by themselves.

In doing so, it was possible in the ancient times, when there were very few monks, but resources were everywhere, and any grass on the side of the road is now a treasure of heaven and earth.

However, even though the resources were unimaginably rich, the success rate of making utensils was still very low at that time. Out of 99 utensils, [-] were stillborn, and only one was successful.

The success of this one is incredible.

The way of nourishing and accumulating nature is no longer a magic weapon, but a magic weapon, and it is not the kind of magic weapon researched by later generations of monks.

"I want it." Xie Xiaoyu brought the alchemy stove over.

Everyone was a little surprised, and a few people even showed hesitation on their faces. Everyone thought that even if he didn't get the best, he would at least want a middle-to-lower cauldron. They didn't expect to get such a thing that was almost trash .

"Everyone has his own aspirations." The old man sighed.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't explain this time, so he was happy.

The alchemy stove was already in hand, and the rest of the things were very simple. Soon the girl next to the old man brought two boxes, one big and one small, and a pen.

Both boxes are made of agarwood, one of them is half a foot long and one inch wide. When the lid is opened, there are many talisman papers neatly stacked inside. Each talisman paper is bright yellow in color with a waxy glow on the front. In the hand, it feels soft and supple, which is definitely top grade.The other one is smaller, and inside it is an ointment mixed with cinnabar, animal blood and other ingredients, which is also top grade.

The talisman brush on the side is made of Xiangfei bamboo, and the bottom is made of fine bristles. Although it is only of medium grade, it is still a good item.

This time Xie Xiaoyu did not refuse.

"For monks like us, it would be rough to take out silver. I'll take this as a bargain." Xie Xiaoyu took out a small cloth bag from his inner pocket, opened it, and dumped it on the table.

A thumb-sized pearly black gold bead rolled out and rolled around on the table.

"Anti-drug elixir." The doctor is a man of knowledge.

"This seems to be a bit too much." Luo Duozhu looked like he wanted to reach out but hesitated.

The anti-drug pill cannot avoid the poison in the water and soil, but it can filter out the poison in the air. It is definitely a good thing in Tianbao Prefecture.

"It's nothing, everyone must have it, and you don't need to stay in the city. People who need to go to the inland to find a living can't afford this thing. To put it bluntly, it's just a chicken rib." Xie Xiaoyu didn't raise his price. On the contrary, he deliberately belittled a bit, and if he didn't tell him, he was telling the truth.

When he was in Zhongtu, he knew that he was going to Tianbaozhou, so he prepared some anti-drugs, and even a prescription for detoxification, but after he came, he found that the anti-drugs were not very useful, only a few This came in handy the next time I went down the mine.

Having said that, the value of the anti-drug elixir lies there, and the elixir is extremely precious in Tianbao Prefecture, so it is more than enough to exchange for those few things.
