Chapter 241 Whereabouts of the Elixir
Thinking of this, the stall owner quickly reached out to stop Qin Tian and said in a hurry:
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist. If you really want this furnace, I can sell it to you at a low price!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian paused and said without comment:
"If the price is low enough, I don't mind buying it back to study it! I just don't know how much you are going to pay?"
Because he was wearing a mask, his specific expression could not be seen, but the stall owner's tone revealed a trace of guilt as he said:
"After all, this furnace is of spiritual quality, how much It still has some research value, how about 30,000 spirit stones? "
However, Qin Tian did not change his expression when he heard this, and stretched out two fingers directly, and said in a cold tone:
"20,000 low-grade spirit stones! One more spirit stone, and I will turn around and leave!"
After this, seeing Qin Tian's firm attitude, the stall owner really gave in, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and agreed:
"Okay! 20,000 is 20,000!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian took out 20,000 low-grade spirit stones without saying a word, and then put the broken alchemy furnace on the stall into his pocket.
Then he pretended to be indifferent and looked at other items on the stall.
After a long while, Qin Tian turned around and left without interest.
The stall owner did not suspect anything, but what he did not notice was that when Qin Tian turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes...
After the episode of buying the alchemy furnace, Qin Tian began to search for traces of spiritual medicine on various stalls.
Unconsciously, another cup of tea had passed.
Just when Qin Tian thought he was going to return disappointed again, Lu Yao's slightly excited voice came from the stall not far away.
After receiving the voice, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he hurriedly walked towards Lu Yao.
In just a moment, he had arrived at a pavilion.
I saw a cultivator wearing a ghost mask and a black robe covering his whole body, who was at least in the middle stage of foundation building, sitting cross-legged behind a stall.
And on the stall, there were many exquisite jade boxes, and the rare spiritual medicines with abundant spiritual energy inside were dazzling.
Perhaps attracted by the spiritual medicine, many monks gathered beside the stall at this moment, and Lu Yao and Tao Ran were also among them.
Seeing this, Qin Tian did not hesitate at all, and hurried forward to search among the jade boxes on the ground!
In just a blink of an eye, he found a vine with three green leaves in the corner of the stall. It was the "three-leaf dry vine" that he had searched for in vain!
And looking at the appearance of the spiritual medicine and the richness of the spiritual energy it exudes, it is probably 800 years old! Compared with the age required by the "Wuji Pill" recipe, it is much higher, and it is more than enough to be used as an auxiliary medicine!
Unfortunately, there was no trace of "Zhixuecao" on the stall!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian hurriedly asked the stall owner:
"May I ask fellow Taoist, how much do you want for this 800-year-old "three-leaf withered vine"?"
The stall owner on the opposite side raised his head curiously and said in a hoarse voice:
"Although this spiritual medicine is a niche, it is extremely rare in the Endless Demon Sea. The one that can reach 800 years old is even more extinct. I am not charging you 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian pondered for a moment and wanted to bargain.
But who knew that the stall owner on the opposite side suddenly waved his hand and shouted in a cold tone:
"The spiritual medicine I sell is of high quality and old enough, so I will never bargain!"
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian knew that this person must have seen something and deliberately raised the price.
However, due to his eagerness to buy spiritual medicine and his recent surge in wealth, Qin Tian stopped talking nonsense and took out 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones and neatly stacked them next to the stall.
Then he reached out and put away the jade box containing the "Three-leaf Withered Vine".
After doing all this, Qin Tian was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned around and asked the stall owner with anger:
"May I ask fellow Taoist, is there any stock of this "Three-leaf Withered Vine"? If there is, I am willing to buy it at the same price! In short, I will never let fellow Taoist suffer a loss!"
Hearing this, the stall owner looked at Qin Tian in surprise, and then smiled bitterly and said:
"This spiritual medicine is so rare that it is lucky to find one. How can I have stock in my hands!"
Seeing this, Qin Tian finally shook his head in disappointment, and immediately turned around and left with Tao Ran.
After another half an hour, after visiting almost all the stalls in the courtyard, they still did not find any trace of the "blood ganoderma".
In desperation, Qin Tian and the other two could only exit the "underground black market" and slowly walk towards the residential area.
However, not long after they walked, a middle-aged monk in a yellow robe came towards them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Tan Hao, the centurion of the garrison army, whom they met outside the east gate of Kanghai City that day!
At the same time, since Qin Tian and the others removed the disguises that covered their faces after leaving the "underground black market", Tan Hao also recognized the three people.
Seeing this situation, due to his identity as a garrison soldier in Kanghai City, Qin Tian had to step forward and greet him:
"Tan Daoyou, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Hao on the opposite side hurriedly returned the greeting, but when his eyes swept across the "underground black market" not far away, he couldn't help but ask:
"Qin Daoyou came to Kanghai City, is it to buy some treasure?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, and immediately told the truth about the elixir without concealing it, and even took out a jade slip with "Zhixuecao" painted on it.
However, what was unexpected was that after Tan Hao took the jade slip and took a look at it, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face showed a look of thinking.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then he suddenly reacted and asked with a hint of urgency:
"Does Fellow Taoist Tan know the whereabouts of this elixir?"
After hearing this, Tan Hao from the opposite side pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"To be honest, Tan has never heard of the name "Zhixuecao", but Tan actually saw a very similar elixir painted on the jade slip on a desert island. Yes, as for whether it is "Zhixuecao", I can't guarantee it!"
However, when Qin Tian heard this, his face showed great joy, and he quickly raised his hands and said:
"Whether it is yes or not, you will know after you go and take a look! I hope fellow Taoist Tan will tell you the location of the island, and Qin will definitely give you a generous gift!"
But as soon as he said this, Tan Hao's face darkened and he shouted angrily:
"What does Fellow Daoist Qin mean by this? Is Mr. Tan a robber? Don't mention this again in the future! Besides, there are powerful monsters on that deserted island. It is not easy to get the elixir!"
