Chapter 28 Asking for It in the Name of Learning

Chapter 28 Begging in the name of learning

"I wonder...what does Fellow Daoist Xiao want with these seeds? According to my Baicao Sect's experience, since they cannot germinate within a hundred years, there may not be any movement even in another hundred years. They should be seeds that have lost their vitality." Jiang Fan asked.

"It's nothing." Xiao Hua said with a smile: "Senior, you should know that I, Shang Huaming, only have one medicinal plant disciple, this junior. I usually refer to the classics by myself, and I, Shang Huaming, are no better than Baicao Sect, with many medicinal fields and spiritual Damn it, so if you learn too much, it will be done behind closed doors, so if the juniors want to see more and learn more, if it is inconvenient for the seniors, then forget it..."

"Haha, so that's it." Jiang Fan said, stroking his palms: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xiao to actually like to delve into spiritual herbs. Although these disciples of my Baicao Sect, even though they are better than others, they are better than Dao Dao. Although they offered a lot of friendly conditions, they didn’t even bother to study the spiritual herbs. They only liked to practice mental methods. Once they reached the third level of Qi Refining, they would never go to the medicine garden again. It was really... it was helpless since Fellow Daoist Xiao had such a desire. How can I not fulfill my desire to learn?”

Then he turned to the disciple on the second level of Qi Refining and said: "Go, take all the seeds that should be disposed of. In addition, select some spiritual herbs that are not forbidden to be spread by our Baicao Sect. Pick a few seeds and take them." come over"

Xiao Hua was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you young sect master. In fact, if those dead and incomplete seeds in your sect are useless, it would be good to take them and let the juniors learn from them..."

Although Xiao Hua's words seemed a bit unsatisfactory, they were not inconsistent with his statement that he wanted to understand the spiritual grass classics. Jiang Fan frowned slightly, thinking about those dead seeds. Even the elders of Baicao Sect felt that they were of no use. He was sad What other big waves can Hua Ming make? So he smiled at the corner of his mouth, winked at the disciple, and waved his hand to let him go.

The disciple understood that Jiang Fan's eyes told him not to take his words seriously. He only brought some seeds from Baicaomen who didn't know how many years ago or damaged seeds. As long as they had a little bit of origin, even if they were impossible to germinate, Yes, and absolutely cannot be given to Xiao Hua

When the disciple went down, Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, young master, for making it possible."

"Haha, you're welcome, it's just a seed to be thrown away, no thanks," Jiang Fan waved his hand.

Afterwards, Xiao Hua stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to Jiang Fan, and said: "This junior, the first priority for coming here is to thank Baicao Sect for keeping in mind the alliance between our two factions and passing on the important message. I, Shang Hua Ming, this is the instruction from the headmaster before he leaves. Since I cannot meet Master Jiang, please send the young sect leader my gratitude to Shang Huaming."

"Okay" Jiang Fan saw this, stood up hurriedly, helped Xiao Hua up and said: "Shang Hua Ming and our Baicao Sect are already in alliance. If something happens to Shang Hua Ming, our Baicao Sect will also be in limbo. Helping Shang Hua Ming is helping me, Baicao." Door,

Master Xiao is really polite."

After saying that, Xiao Hua was asked to take a seat.

Xiao Hua cleared his throat, put the prepared jade bottle from his arms on the table, and said with a smile: "Thank you Master Jiang, the next thing is the second thing the master asked me to come over. Please take a look at this, Young Master." Several jade bottles.”

"Oh?" Jiang Fan was still warm. With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle fell into his hands. When he opened it and looked at it, his face showed extreme confusion. He looked up at Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this... photo What does Yuan Guo mean?”

Seeing that Jiang Fan's expression was normal and not as surprised as he expected, Xiao Hua secretly thought that this was not a good thing. He was afraid that the Photo Yuan Fruit might not be so precious in other people's eyes. When Jiang Fan asked about it, he had no choice but to put on a smiley face and said: : "Senior, what do you think of the quality of this Photo Yuan Fruit...?"

"It's not bad." Jiang Fan didn't understand what he meant, and he took the other ones over and looked at them one by one, and nodded slightly: "These photoyuan fruits are all nearly thirty years old, they are quite useful, barely. It can refine the Yuan-Pui Dan. I don’t know what Daoyou Xiao wanted to do with these Yuan-Pui Guo..."

"It's like this. The head of my family asked this junior to bring these Photographic Yuan Fruits. He wanted to exchange these Photographic Yuan Fruits for some Zhewu Grass from Baicao Sect. I wonder... what do seniors think?" Xiao Hua replied in a weak tone. .

"This..." When Jiang Fan heard "Zhewucao", he understood in his heart, and immediately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, saying: "On weekdays, if you exchange the Yuanyuan Fruit for Zhewucao, of course it is possible, Fellow Daoist Xiao Even if you don’t come to Baicaomen, you can go to Yishi, but it’s a pity..."

Xiao Hua was shocked and blurted out: "What's the pity?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I believe fellow Taoist Xiao also knows that I just went to Yishi a few days ago and met a senior brother from your sect in Yishi. Most of the Zhewucao from my Baicao Sect is sold in Yishi with other Fellow Taoist exchanged spiritual stones or spiritual herbs..."

"Most of it?" Xiao Hua asked anxiously: "Where is the rest?"

"The rest will naturally be used by our Baicao Sect to make elixirs ourselves," Jiang Fan said.

"Ah???" Xiao Hua looked anxious. Not only him, but also Xiao Yuehong probably didn't expect this level.

"Hehe, actually... Fellow Daoist Xiao, your sect just wants a few Yuan-Pui Yuan Dan, in order to increase the skills of your senior brothers and Fairy Xiao. If this is the case, I would like to ask my sect leader to give your sect a few pills. Just take the Peiyuan Pill, why bother?" Jiang Fan had a smile on his face, as if he was Shang Hua Ming's supreme savior.

Xiao Hua was happy at first and wanted to nod, but then he realized: "This guy... wants to make a good deal with Shang Hua Ming, well, more than that? If I, Shang Hua Ming, can't refine enough Peiyuan Pill, Not only can the cultivation level of the senior fellow apprentices not be improved, but I am afraid that they will still be restrained by the Baicao Sect. Besides, a few Yuan-Pui Yuan Pills may be enough for the senior fellow apprentices. I am afraid that I will have to fetch water from a bamboo basket. "

After thinking about it, Xiao Hua showed embarrassment on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, and I would like to thank you on behalf of my family leader. However, when I came, the leader had already made it clear that I, Shang Hua Mingruo, would like to ask for a few Yuan-Building Pills. The Baicao Sect will definitely agree because of the alliance between the two factions. However, in this way, it will appear that I, the Shang Hua Ming sect, have just formed an alliance with the Baicao Sect and will take advantage of the Baicao Sect. , which is really inappropriate; secondly, the two factions will have to come and go frequently from now on. As the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If there is any deal after this, it will be hard to say. So, please just ask Baicaomen to make a suitable exchange according to Yishi’s practice.”

"That's it~" Jiang Fan said with a smile: "The two factions have already formed an alliance. I didn't expect that Master Xiao would be so... out of touch."

Then he frowned: "But... the Zhewucao in my Baicaomen... is really very few."

He stood up, paced back and forth in the guest hall, sighed, and gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, since it is what Head Xiao wants, I will try my best to refine the Peiyuan Pill from Baicao Sect. "Shang Hua Mingba"

With a smile on his face, Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, junior. I will definitely report the young master's kindness to my family leader when I go back."

"Don't be too busy thanking me, Fellow Daoist Xiao..." Jiang Fan quickly stopped him, patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a transmission talisman, said a few words in it, and with a boost of magic, the transmission talisman flew out of the reception hall. .

Seeing Xiao Hua's strangeness, Jiang Fan explained: "To be honest with you Daoist Xiao, my Baicao Sect is refining the Yuan Pei Dan these days. I don't know how much of the Zhewu Grass is left."

Xiao Hua's heart suddenly became troubled.

After a moment, a red light flew over and stopped in front of Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan did not avoid Xiao Hua, grabbed it, squeezed it casually, and a slightly older voice sounded: "Young Master, there are still ten pieces of Zhewucao left." According to your wishes, we have stopped refining the Peiyuan Dan, and I have sent someone to deliver the Zhewu grass to you."

"Ten?" Xiao Hua frowned slightly, not sure whether these ten Zhewu grasses could be used by Xiao Yuehong.

"Oh, sure enough" Jiang Fan spread his hands and shook his head: "It's still too late, Fellow Daoist Xiao, the remaining ten trees are not enough to exchange for these Shenyuan Fruits from your sect."

Xiao Hua was very disappointed, but what could he do? I had no choice but to say: "Let's count as many as we can. It's better than not having one at all."

"Let's see, Fellow Daoist Xiao, these Zhe Wucao are given to Shang Huaming by my Baicao Sect. I won't accept these Sheyuan Guo from Baicao Sect." Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"No, senior should watch and take away the suitable Yuanyuan Fruit. Since the head of my family has given the order, senior should not make it difficult for this junior." Xiao Hua shook his head and refused.

"Well, since Master Xiao has given orders, I won't be polite." As he said that, Jiang Fan picked up two of the jade bottles and put them into his storage bag.

At this time, the disciple who had just left the second level of Qi Refining came back with a small storage bag in his hand. He took out several jade boxes and placed them in front of Jiang Fan. He said, "This is what Elder Lan ordered the disciple to bring. Zhewucao."

Then he took out two small bags from the storage bag, handed them over, and said: "These are what the young sect master just ordered his disciples to get. One contains dried seeds and those that have not germinated, and the other contains It’s a defective seed.”

"Well, give these two bags to Fellow Daoist Xiao," Jiang Fan ordered his disciple without checking them.

Xiao Hua took the two small bags and opened them. Sure enough, one of them contained some abnormally dry seeds, covered with dust, and some had dirt standing on them. The other bag was filled with damaged seeds.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, these are ten Zhewu grasses. Check them out." Jiang Fan waved his hand, and several jade boxes flew to the table in front of Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua put down two bags and opened a jade box. Inside the jade box, he saw two trees about one foot long with sword-shaped grass blades. The edges of the grass blades were deeply serrated, and there were red and black threads on the leaves. The fine lines are everywhere, which is the full-year Zhewu grass.

"Well, that's right, Young Master Xie." Xiao Hua looked at several other jade boxes, all of which were full-year Zhewucao, and said to Jiang Fan with a smile.

"Please take these remaining Photo Yuan Fruits back, Fellow Daoist Xiao." Jiang Fan was about to wave, when Xiao Hua's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Wait a minute..."
