Chapter 28 Panacea
Xiao Lin only had less than two hundred low-grade spiritual stones in his possession. Although he was very interested in this third Wind Cicada Blade, he had no choice but to give up because the price was too much beyond his budget.
"I want this seven-edged magic weapon." After thinking about it, Xiao Lin reluctantly gave up the Wind Chan Blade and chose the mid-level magic weapon. Even if he only chose this mid-level magic weapon, It also caused Xiao Lin's newly accumulated net worth to drop to zero in an instant, which made him feel heartache.
But after thinking about the large area of spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers in his spirit wood space, he felt relieved. As long as he could improve his cultivation level, magic weapons would naturally not be a problem.
When the woman heard this, she immediately took a cloth bag from Xiao Lin's hand with joy, opened it and looked at it for a while, then put it away with satisfaction. Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw the storage bag hanging on the woman's waist. Twitched.
"I would like to ask, in the entire Wuyin Immortal City, do you know where there is a prescription for selling spiritual elixirs?" After thinking about it, Xiao Lin asked. He had been shopping in the market in the east of the city for a long time, and he saw the spiritual elixir. Some people have sold it, but he has never seen any elixirs for sale. He also asked some monks who set up stalls, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Either they didn't know, or they were hesitant to say anything. appearance.
When the woman heard this, she was slightly startled, and then said in surprise: "Is this little brother still an alchemist?"
"I'm just very interested in alchemy. I happened to have obtained two spiritual herbs recently and want to study the art of alchemy." Xiao Lin said casually.
"I see, but I still want to remind my little brother that the alchemist's rice is not delicious. You must know that beginners have to invest a lot of resources. The probability of failure in the early stage of alchemy can be described as terrifying. Ten furnaces The elixir may not be available in a furnace. I have met many cultivators who think they are rich. Many of them are even descendants of great cultivator families. They dream of becoming an alchemy master one day, but within half a year, they all If you go bankrupt or return to poverty, you should think twice.”
"I just want to do some research, but I may not have refined it myself, and I know the recipe for the elixir. Fortunately, I can be targeted when collecting spiritual herbs and elixirs in the Tianlu Mountains." Xiao Lin said with a slight smile.
"Well, that makes sense. However, except for two or three main ingredients for refining elixirs, the rest are not difficult to find. In fact, it is not difficult for little brother to find the elixir recipe. It is not far from our Spiritual Forging Building. , two streets away, there is a Yaowangpu store, where you can buy some elixir recipes, but most of them are low-level elixir recipes. If you want to buy high-level Qi refining or even foundation-building stage It is more difficult to find elixir recipes that are suitable for all. Apart from Dancao Mountain among the five major sects, there are probably only a few trading houses specializing in elixirs in Xueling Immortal City.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded. He had heard that Snow Ridge Fairy City was located in the north of the Tianlu Mountains, bordering the Wanli Snowfield. To join the five major sects, the cave where the Purple Spirit Flowers that need to be picked is located. In the midst of thousands of miles of snow.
However, for the current Xiao Lin, he has no intention of picking purple spirit flowers. In his opinion, he must at least wait until he can reach the late stage of Qi refining before he can enter the cave, and he doesn't know what this means. It’s a matter of year and month.
"However, if the little brother can really refine the elixir, our Spiritual Forging Building is willing to pay a high price to buy it." As if she had thought of something, the woman suddenly said.
"Oh? Don't you specialize in magic weapons? Why do you want elixirs?" Xiao Lin had a look of surprise on his face.
"Haha, we do specialize in the sale of magic weapons, but we are also monks. As long as we are monks, there will be no shortage of spiritual elixirs. The scarcity of elixirs is not only due to the depletion of the main medicinal materials, but more importantly The number of alchemists is also very small, which also leads to the situation that elixirs are always in a priceless market. As long as elixirs flow into the market, they are basically sold out immediately, regardless of whether the little brother will try to make elixirs by himself. , but as long as there are finished elixirs, our Lingduo House is willing to purchase them at a price that is 20% higher than the market price."
"That's it." Xiao Lin nodded. In Chengdongfang City, Xiao Lin had seen someone selling the Spiritual Pill. Indeed, a crowd of people gathered around him as soon as he took it out. Even for the Spiritual Pill, the atmosphere became very tense. Nervous, if it weren't for the patrolling city guards in Chengdongfang City, those people would probably fight over the ownership of the elixir.
After leaving the Spiritual Forging Building, Xiao Lin followed what the woman said. After crossing two streets, he saw a relatively ordinary shop at a glance. There are countless such shops in Wuyin Immortal City, and this Yao Wang Shop's But the business seemed to be surprisingly good. People were coming and going, and many monks were coming in and out. Most of the monks who came out had a look of satisfaction on their faces. This surprised Xiao Lin. He strolled into this medicine king's shop. shop.
As soon as he entered the shop, he was hit by a strong smell of herbal medicine. Xiao Lin walked in casually and saw a counter at the end of the shop. Behind the counter were jade boxes placed one after another. At first glance, It was no different from the herbal medicine shop he saw in the village, but the box containing the medicine here was not an ordinary wooden box, but a jade box. Most of the elixirs used by cultivators contained spiritual energy, although the thinness of the spiritual energy was different. , but the reason why elixirs work quickly is mostly due to the aura contained in them. Ordinary wooden boxes cannot prevent the dissipation of aura, so most elixirs and herbs are contained in jade bottles and jade boxes.
After looking around for a while, Xiao Lin saw that most of the cultivators who came in were buying some spiritual medicines for treating internal injuries, detoxification, and bone repair. This is not difficult to understand. For the large number of low-level casual cultivators in Wuyin Xiancheng, most of their spiritual stones come from the Tianlu Mountains. Whether it is collecting spiritual herbs and flowers, looking for rare minerals, or hunting monsters, there are great risks. Especially when encountering some powerful monsters, it is inevitable to get injured and poisoned after a big battle. This has led to many such medicine shops in Wuyin Xiancheng, and most of them are doing very good business.
After looking for half an hour, Xiao Lin did not see the pill formula or spiritual pill he wanted, and he couldn't help frowning.
"My fellow Taoist, you have been looking here for a long time. Didn't you find the pill you want? I wonder what pill you want?" A voice came from the side. Xiao Lin turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a tuft of goatee, who looked a bit like a doctor.
Seeing Xiao Lin looking at him with a frown, the man smiled and said, "I am the manager here. My name is Gu Zhidan. People who are familiar with me will call me Doctor Gu."
"So it's Brother Gu. I'm Xiao Lin. I want to buy some recipes for elixirs. I wonder..." Xiao Lin whispered to Doctor Gu in front of him.
Doctor Gu was slightly stunned, and then said to Xiao Lin, "So that's the case. Then please come with me to the private room at the back to discuss in detail."
Following Doctor Gu, after passing through a long corridor, we saw several houses. These houses were built side by side. In front of them was a large lotus pond. Several colorful lotus flowers stretched their heads, as if competing for beauty.
Xiao Lin was naturally in no mood to appreciate the scenery of the pavilion forest here, but followed Doctor Gu into a room. After sitting down, Doctor Gu poured Xiao Lin a cup of tea and said, "Our Medicine King Shop has never sold pill recipes, but I don't know who instructed you to come here."
Xiao Lin's face was calm, but he was complaining in his heart. It seemed that the woman had some relationship with the Medicine King Shop, otherwise Doctor Gu would not insist that he was instructed by someone.
But he had already come here. Xiao Lin thought about it for a moment and didn't find anything wrong. He briefly told the story of how he was instructed by a woman in her thirties when he was looking at the magic weapon in the Lingduan Tower.
Doctor Gu listened quietly, then smiled and said, "That woman is my wife, her surname is Xu and her name is Lin. It is indeed as she said. The recipe of the elixir is usually a secret of the major forces. Even our Yaowang Shop has only mastered the refining methods of a few low-level elixirs, but it is never easily passed on. The reason why it is not passed on is not that these elixir recipes are precious. After all, for the current cultivation world, what is lacking is not the elixir recipe, but the main medicine for refining elixirs. For example, the Huichun flower used to refine Huiyuan Dan has not yet disappeared in the Tianlu Mountains, but it is There are not many of them now. Nowadays, except for the five major sects that are still cultivating them artificially and using them to refine elixirs to give to their disciples, few casual cultivators outside will cultivate them.
"After all, the cultivation time of spiritual herbs is often more than ten years, and the better spiritual herbs need decades to reach the medicinal age. If you spend so much time, even if you can refine spiritual medicine, it is probably not as practical as practicing in seclusion. However, since you are introduced by my wife, I can naturally take care of you, but I don’t know what kind of recipe you need."
After listening to Doctor Gu quietly, Xiao Lin thanked him and said, "I wonder if your pharmacy has the recipes for the Lingdan and Huilingdan? "
Hearing this, Doctor Gu nodded and said, "Both of these elixirs are used by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. The Lingling Pill can assist in cultivation and improve the cultivator's cultivation, while the Huiling Pill can restore at least 50% of the cultivator's mana in a short period of time. They are indeed more practical elixirs. If you need a higher-level elixir formula, our Medicine King Shop does not have it, but if it is just the recipes for Lingling Pill and Huiyuan Pill, we still have them."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face. He didn't have much hope at first, but just wanted to try his luck. He didn't expect that the Medicine King Shop actually had the recipes for these two elixirs.
"But I don't know how to sell the recipes for these two elixirs?" Xiao Lin asked hurriedly. He was determined to get the recipes for these two elixirs. If the spirit stones were not enough, he would even take some risks to sell some Lingwu grass.
Doctor Gu looked at Xiao Lin meaningfully and smiled, "As long as you can agree to one condition, I will give you the recipes for these two elixirs."
