Chapter 29 Purple Silver Refining Furnace
"Conditions?" Xiao Lin calmed down instantly after hearing this. As long as there are conditions, it might not be so easy to complete.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, because I see that you are cautious and resolute in your eyes. I think you are a hard-working person. Gu only hopes that you can help me hunt a one-horned python and take out its gallbladder and give it to me."
"One-horned python?" Hearing this, Xiao Lin sneered and said, "The one-horned python is a mortal-level mid-level monster. Generally, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining is not its opponent. You asked me to hunt the one-horned python, not to ask me to commit suicide?"
Gu Langzhong's face turned pale instantly. After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, my daughter went to the Tianlu Mountains for training a year ago, but accidentally encountered an adult one-horned python. After a fight, although my daughter escaped by chance, she was poisoned by the snake. Until now, she is still lying in bed, waking and sleeping. , my wife and I are only at the third level of Qi Refining. It is extremely difficult to reach the middle level of Qi Refining in this life. So my wife asked you to come to me when she saw that Xiao Daoyou needed the recipe. "
Xiao Lin's expression eased slightly, and he said, "I am only at the third level of Qi Refining, not much different from you and your wife. I will never accept such a suicide by hunting a unicorn python. Please change the conditions."
Xiao Lin had carefully studied the types and strengths of the monsters around Wuyin Xiancheng. This unicorn python was just a kind of monster he knew. The strength of the unicorn python was definitely in the top ten among the ordinary middle-level monsters. Hunting a unicorn python with his current strength was no different from suicide. Although he was eager to get the recipes of the Lingdan and Huiyuandan, he would not exchange his life for it.
"Now, Daoist friend's cultivation is indeed on par with my husband and I, but Daoist friend looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. As long as he practices hard, he may be able to improve again. In addition, my husband and I have no extra savings except these pill recipes, so we are leaving ourselves a glimmer of hope. As long as Daoist friend Xiao can obtain snake gall within three years, this deal will be final."
These words made Xiao Lin hesitate. If he practiced magic hard within three years and then used the newly purchased Seven Blades Slash to kill an adult unicorn python, it might not be impossible. Besides, if he really couldn't do it, he could just find someone to form a team. At most, he wouldn't have to pay for the unicorn python's refining materials. He estimated that the reason these two people chose him was probably because he bought the Seven Blades Slash, which made the woman confident in her own strength.
Although the recipes of the Lingling Pill and Huiyuan Pill are precious to him, they are nothing to Doctor Gu in front of him. After all, even if he has the recipes, it is useless to refine the elixir without spiritual herbs. If he can use these two recipes to exchange for his daughter's life, it will be very cost-effective.
"If you can get the snake gall of the unicorn python within three years, I can agree, but I also have a condition, that is, you must give me the recipe first. If I can't get the snake gall within three years, I will also compensate you with the corresponding spiritual stones to make up for it." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin said slowly.
"Deal." To Xiao Lin's surprise, Doctor Gu actually agreed to it. Xiao Lin had to smile bitterly. It seems that Doctor Gu made up his mind from the beginning. After all, for them, one more promise means one more hope. Xiao Lin is even sure that there are more monks who trade with Doctor Gu and his wife than just himself.
However, for Xiao Lin, it didn't matter how many people Doctor Gu and his wife traded with. Anyway, he got the recipes of the Zhuo Ling Dan and Hui Yuan Dan, and finally achieved the purpose of coming here.
After taking the two green jade slips from Doctor Gu, Xiao Lin left the Yaowang Shop. After returning to the inn room, he took out the jade slips, held them in his hands, and carefully read the methods of refining Zhuo Ling Dan and Hui Yuan Dan.
A day later, Xiao Lin left the inn and went to the market in the east of the city again. The main medicinal materials for refining Zhuo Ling Dan and Hui Yuan Dan are Ling Wu Cao and Hui Chun Hua. Xiao Lin already knew it, and confirmed it again through the recipe given by Doctor Gu. There are also many auxiliary medicinal materials needed to refine these two spiritual pills. Each spiritual pill requires seven or eight kinds, some of which can be planted through the spiritual wood space, while the smoked wood bark, spiritual cicada shell, etc., are not herbs and cannot be planted. Fortunately, these things are not rare spiritual materials, and you can see a lot of them in the market in the east of the city.
After walking around the market for more than half an hour, Xiao Lin stopped in front of a young man who was setting up a stall. On the young man's stall, there was a rusty alchemy furnace. Xiao Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances. The alchemy furnace should be made of copper, but the surface was covered with verdigris, and even one of the three legs was missing a little, which looked a bit uneven.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help shaking his head and was about to leave.
"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the alchemy furnace? I have another ancestral alchemy furnace that I haven't put out. If you are interested, I can ask my family to send it to you." The young man had excellent eyesight and saw that Xiao Lin was very interested in the alchemy furnace on his stall. Seeing that Xiao Lin was about to leave, he hurriedly said.
"If the time is not too long, I can wait for a while." Xiao Lin said calmly.
"Of course, of course. We'll be there in a moment." As he spoke, the young man took out a yellow talisman from his arms and folded it into a triangle. He shook it lightly, and the talisman immediately burned. A lifelike mini crane jumped out of the flames, flapped its wings, and flew away.
Xiao Lin knew that this was a talisman called a sound transmission talisman, which was a very common low-level spell and nothing special. After a while, Xiao Lin saw from a distance a little girl of about 14 or 15 years old with a pigtail holding a silver alchemy furnace the size of a human head and jumping over.
"Brother, I brought the alchemy furnace to you. Is there really anyone who wants to buy it?" The little girl put the alchemy furnace next to the copper alchemy furnace. When the two were compared, the good and the bad were clear.
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask my mother to bring it here?"
"My mother went to Tongxia Mountain to dig ore early in the morning, and she went with my father. I was the only one left at home. If I don't come to bring it to you, no one will come." The little girl was angry, as if she didn't want to come, but her two big eyes were rolling around, and she looked curious about the surroundings.
The young man smiled helplessly. Obviously, he had no way to deal with his sister. He turned to Xiao Lin and said, "This alchemy furnace was handed down from my ancestors. My grandfather was an alchemist in Dancao Mountain. However, since my grandfather passed away, there has been no alchemist in our Gu family. This purple silver alchemy furnace has never been useful. If you like it, you may sell it to you."
Xiao Lin looked at the silver alchemy furnace carefully. What surprised him was that he couldn't tell the material of the alchemy furnace. The surface looked silver, but it was obviously not silver. However, this was not surprising. Silver was not suitable for making utensils such as alchemy furnaces. It was only suitable for making some decorative items. In the world of cultivation, it didn't have any great use.
"The silver outside is refined silver. It is not only very strong, but also has excellent thermal conductivity. This is a top-grade alchemy furnace. If there is no one in our Gu family who makes alchemy, I would not sell it."
Nodding, if it is really refined silver, then it makes sense. Refined silver is not pure silver, but the essence extracted from silver, mixed with more than a dozen rare metals, which is much harder than ordinary silverware and more resistant to high temperatures.
It is obvious that Xiao Lin is very satisfied with this alchemy furnace. He asked calmly: "I don't know how many spirit stones will you sell this alchemy furnace for?"
"If you really want it, one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones." After thinking for a while, the young man said.
Xiao Lin shook his head lightly, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"I dare say that there is absolutely no second alchemy furnace in this city east market. If you want it, I can give you a pill recipe." Seeing Xiao Lin's hesitation, the young man said hurriedly.
Xiao Lin's heart moved, and he looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise: "Can I take a look?"
"Wait a minute." The young man showed a happy expression on his face. Since Xiao Lin wanted to see it, it was obvious that he was still interested in his alchemy furnace. He took a cup of tea from a wooden box behind him and finally took out a pale white jade slip and handed it to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took it and slowly closed his eyes.
"Great Rejuvenation Pill?" Xiao Lin opened his eyes after a while and returned the jade slip to the young man again.
"I want this purple silver furnace. One hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones are no problem, but I don't have that many spirit stones."
Seeing the disappointment on the young man's face, Xiao Lin smiled faintly. He took out a jade box from the cloth bag on his waist, handed it to the young man casually, and said: "How about I exchange five such jade boxes with you?"
Xiao Lin did not say what was in the jade box, because many people around were watching, and several people were pointing at the purple silver furnace. Xiao Lin did not want to attract too much attention.
The young man gently opened a corner of the jade box and quickly closed it, with a surprised expression on his face: "Daoyou, you mean there are four more?"
"Yes, I wonder if it can match this purple silver furnace?" Xiao Lin replied lightly.
"Yes, yes, I have taken advantage of you a little bit. How about this? I have a notebook of my grandfather's experience when he was refining pills. I will give it to you." The young man took out a yellowed book from the wooden box with joy and handed it to Xiao Lin together with the pale white jade slip.
Xiao Lin showed a little surprise on his face. This young man was quite honest. He placed a twenty-year-old Lingwu grass in his jade box. The twenty-year-old Lingwu grass was fully mature. Basically, it would not increase the age of the medicine if it grew longer. This was determined by the characteristics of the spiritual grass itself.
In this market, a twenty-year-old Lingwu grass can be sold for at least thirty low-grade spirit stones. Five of them can naturally be worth the price of one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones of this purple silver furnace. What's more important is that twenty-year-old Lingwu grass is simply in short supply. Even if you add a few more low-grade spirit stones, there will definitely be someone who will buy it.
