Chapter 259 Weird Pill Recipe
After entering the quiet room, the two of them sat down. Chi Lianying found a seat by herself, while Hong Ying and Wu Yan were quite conscious and stood still without moving.
Wushan gang leader Qiao Zhengyan called for five cups of high-grade spiritual tea. The two of them did not speak, each holding a golden ebony cup in their hands to taste the tea carefully.
Hong Ying and Wu Yan were not used to this weird atmosphere and were a little restless. Chi Lianying still had a rough look that was completely different from her graceful image. She sat on another tea table and began to take a nap.
Qiao Zhengyan saw that Lu Ping was neither humble nor arrogant, and that he was very diligent in cultivating his energy. He couldn't help but think highly of Lu Ping in his heart. He couldn't cultivate such magnanimity and pride unless he was a disciple of a big sect or a famous disciple.
Having made a decision in his heart, Qiao Zhengyan put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Hall Master Yu learned that the younger brother was purchasing the Millennium Spirit Grass, and was eager to inform me of the news, but he ignored the instructions of his brothers. This is a loss of etiquette in front of my little brother, so please don’t blame me."
Since it was the leader of the Wushan Gang who took action in person, Lu Ping's identity as the other party gave Lu Ping enough face. Naturally, Lu Ping also borrowed Po Xia Donkey and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, not worth mentioning."
Qiao Zhengyan saw that Lu Ping was not a jealous person, so he said again: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, I heard that the little brother is trying to buy the thousand-year-old spiritual grass from the shops in the nearby streets. I dare to ask whether the little brother's alchemy skills have reached the level of a quasi-master. ?”
Lu Ping did not answer Qiao Zhengyan's words, but asked very strangely: "This is also what is strange about this junior. As one of the largest cities in the East China Sea, Qianyuan City has many monks. At this time, the Northern League celebration is coming, and the Danhui Festival is coming." When it is about to begin, it is the moment when a large amount of cultivation resources are gathered, how come this junior has not even seen a thousand-year-old spiritual grass?"
Qiao Zhengyan knew that Lu Ping wanted to exchange information, and now it was Qiao Zhengyan who had something to ask for, so he explained: "I am afraid that my knowledge of the demand for elixirs in the cultivation world is not as profound as my little brother's experience. Apart from the scarcity of elixirs, In addition to the rarity of alchemists, the most important reason is the scarcity of spiritual grass. Needless to say, even if a big city like Qianyuan City can gather goods from all over the world, there will always be a shortage of spiritual grass. The supply exceeds the demand. If some large shops can barely sell the five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass in limited quantities due to the support of their own spiritual grass gardens, then the thousand-year-old spiritual grass in Qianyuan City will not be recommended by anyone familiar with it in the future. It won’t be sold on face value.”
Lu Ping immediately revealed that most of the monks who can use the Millennium Spiritual Grass are already high-level monks in the cultivation world and above the alchemy stage, or they are people like Lu Ping who have become quasi-masters in alchemy during the hemolytic stage. His status in the world of cultivation is not inferior to that of monks in the alchemy stage.
Such monks naturally have their privileges, and such private transactions are often a means of wooing and befriending high-level monks.
Qiao Zhengyan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "I wonder what kind of elixir my little brother is going to use the Millennium Spirit Grass to refine? Although our Wushan Gang is not a prominent force in Qianyuan City, but after hundreds of years of operation, This Qianyuan City is quite thin. I can recommend a few shops. I believe that with my recommendation, my little brother can buy some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, but I can’t get involved in how much."
Lu Ping's expression changed and he said solemnly: "In that case, I have the audacity to ask my senior to introduce me on my behalf, but I will not receive any reward for my merits. I wonder if there is anything that my senior can do for me?"
Qiao Zhengyan looked happy, but hesitant, as if he was a little worried, but he still handed a jade slip to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping looked at the jade slip, said "Huh" and said, "Inherited jade slip?"
Qiao Zhengyan said sternly: "Exactly, to be honest, little friend, Quanzi practiced too much in order to achieve the Alchemy Stage a few years ago. In his eagerness for success, he went crazy and injured his bloodline, which made his cultivation not only unable to progress further, but also slowed down. Slowly there is a tendency to lose power, and I am very anxious.
I sought medical advice everywhere, and all the alchemists concluded that Quanzi's injuries could not be recovered. I was also disheartened, but by chance I got this prescription. It was said that this elixir could cure the monks who were possessed by evil spirits. I was overjoyed and invited the alchemists in Qianyuan City to refine this elixir. However, these alchemists either said that the elixir could not be refined, or bluntly said that this elixir was full of fallacies. That makes no sense. However, I didn't give up, so I generously invited two alchemists who had some friendship with me to refine it. Even if the elixir turned out to be poison, the two alchemists were forced to try it out because of my kindness, but they were all poisoned. After the failure, Quanzi was also heartbroken. I really don't want to see Quanzi so depressed, so I have not given up looking for the alchemist all these years, hoping to refine this elixir. "
Lu Pingyuan was about to reach out and pick up the jade slip on the table, but after hearing this, he took his hand back and thought for a moment: "I wonder if there is a master of alchemy among the alchemists invited by the seniors?"
Qiao Zhengyan knew what Lu Ping had guessed, so he had no intention of hiding it. Instead, he sighed and said: "It is true that I asked two masters to see the elixir recipe, and even asked one person to refine it. They didn't say that they couldn't. Refining, it just means that the conditions for refining are extremely difficult, and there are almost no alchemists in the alchemy world who can meet such harsh conditions."
Lu Ping looked at Qiao Zhengyan with a half-smile and said, "Then how can the senior be so sure that the junior can refine this elixir that even the two masters have been unable to successfully refine?"
Qiao Zhengyan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Now I only have a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Once I know that an alchemy master appears in Qianyuan City, I will try my best to go and plead with him, but they will all bluntly say that this elixir prescription is nonsense. Or they say that they can't refine it. The little brother just takes the jade slips to check whether he can refine it or not. I introduced the shopkeepers of several shops to know the little brother. As far as I know, these shopkeepers have all the jade slips in their hands. There are many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the collection.”
Lu Ping smiled and no longer hesitated. He took the jade slip in his hand and carefully examined the contents inside with his spiritual consciousness.
After a long time, Lu Ping withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip, with a strange look on his face. Although Qiao Zhengyan had not had much hope for this, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Seeing Lu Ping pondering, he couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. color.
"The Lingshui Pregnancy Pulse Pill, it's quite interesting. It's no wonder that most alchemists scorn this pill recipe."
Looking at the eager look on Qiao Zhengyan's face, Lu Ping knew that no matter how advanced Qiao Zhengyan was, how old he was, or how well-educated he was, he was always a father. At this point, he was an all-powerful man. The leader of the gang was helpless.
"Maybe I can give it a try!" Lu Ping said with a smile.
