Chapter 9 He’s about to explode, what a nonsense comment
When Cao Zhen walked into Baodingxuan, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Baodingxuan by virtue of his costume as a peak master.
When a boy saw that it was the Peak Master's costume, he quickly quickened his pace and bent forward to greet him. However, the fat shopkeeper next to him, who was eating melon seeds, stopped him with his hand and lectured: "When you see that it is the Peak Master's costume, do you move forward? Peak masters also have poor people! This is the one in front of me."
The boy quickly stopped. He knew that his shopkeeper Xu Qingfeng was also a disciple of the Baifeng Sect. The Baodingxuan was founded because this lineage's level of making alchemy furnaces was among the best in the sect.
When Cao Zhen heard Xu Qingfeng's voice, he couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper who was speaking. He couldn't even recognize the peak masters of the hundred peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, but this shopkeeper actually recognized him? Very dedicated! It must be that the portraits of the Peak Masters are all in his mind, right?
"Rent an alchemy furnace and refine a furnace of elixirs." Cao Zhen greeted the boy next to the shopkeeper, "The cheapest kind. Give me an alchemy room, which is also the cheapest."
The boy's eyes towards Xu Qingfeng added a bit of admiration, and Xu Qingfeng's face showed an astonished raised eyebrow. He thought that the Master of the Four Treasures Peak was just here to hang out, but he didn't expect that he would actually rent the alchemy furnace. .
Xu Qingfeng spat out the melon seed rinds in his mouth and said, "We pay first here. The worst alchemy furnace in Baodingxuan costs one or two spiritual stones a day, plus the ground and fire fee for the venue, and one or two deposits. It’s three taels a day. How many days do you plan to rent?”
"One day." Cao Zhen reached out to touch the one hundred taels of spiritual stones from Elder Tongdish in his sleeve.
"One day?" Xu Qingfeng forgot to spit out the melon seed peels in his mouth and looked at Cao Zhen like a fool. He said to himself that even the simplest spirit-gathering pill would take ten days to make. one day? Are you here to visit?
"Yes, one day! Change." Cao Zhen placed a hundred taels of spiritual stones in front of Xu Qingfeng.
One hundred taels? Xu Qingfeng looked at the spirit stone in front of him and wondered, did Cao Zhen sell his disciple? Where did he get so much money? Isn’t Sibaofeng too poor to open the pot?
The boy was already busy looking for ninety-seven taels of spirit stones to redeem. Although Xu Qingfeng looked down on a peak master who was weaker than himself, he still couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "What do you get for renting for a day?" use?"
"Alchemy." Cao Zhen took the ninety-eight taels of spirit stones that the boy had retrieved and said, "When I practice with my disciples, I have to cooperate with some elixirs, right?"
Xu Qingfeng's smile was very forced, and he sneered in his heart: Are you the only one who has the nerve to call yourself me? How much elixir can you make in one day? Do you want to poison your disciple? There are rumors outside that you are obsessed with it. I used to suspect that you deliberately released false news to confuse Xingyao Peak. Now it seems that you are really obsessed with it!
"My noble Peak Master, let's go this way." The servant was just a mortal, but he still maintained enough respect for Cao Zhen to lead the way.
Xu Qingfeng watched Cao Zhen walking towards the [Gui] Room Alchemy Furnace Room underground in the backyard, and quickly called another boy and said, "You guys take a good look at the store, I'll go to the gambling house and I'll be back in a while."
"Shopkeeper, are you going to a gambling house?" The boy was very surprised. This shopkeeper saves so much on weekdays that he can make water out of his hands with a stone. It is impossible to go to a financial place with any risks! what is it today?
"The fool who just came here is the peak master of the Four Treasures Peak." Xu Qingfeng felt that he was going to get rich and said in a good mood, "Although I knew that the two peaks were going to fight each other and that Cao Zhen was very bad, I always felt that In a battle of skills, it's hard to say who will win. But now that he's like this, why don't I bet all my fortune on Xingyao Peak to win?"
The boy was immediately moved: "Shopkeeper, is he really going to lose? Then I should buy some too?"
"Put your whole house on the line!" Xu Qingfeng said confidently, "No! I have to go back to Xiafengmen to find the master. I'll put all of my salary in Baodingxuan for one year on deposit!"
The boy still wanted to speak, but found that Xu Qingfeng had already left Baodingxuan quickly.
Cao Zhen didn't know that he had told the truth, but was misunderstood by Xu Qingfeng again. He followed the boy to the underground, and immediately smelled the scent of medicine coming from different rooms.
Room A is refining the Creation Pill? Cao Zhen frowned and shook his head: "I'm afraid this furnace elixir won't be perfected. Although the elixir recipe is correct, the firepower will be two points short of that will cause the medicinal fragrance to leak out too much. Finally, I can make a Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill. The effect is It’s a lot worse.”
The boy leading the way couldn't help but turn around and glance at Cao Zhen. He secretly found it funny. The shopkeepers had already said that this man was dying. He was still pretending to be a master of the peak?
Cao Zhen passed by Room A No. 2 and shook his head again: "The Hunyuan Yiqi Pill is a good thing, but if you refine it like this... I'm afraid you can pull out one in the last batch of pills, which is considered a masterful method of drawing pills. It's a pity that it's so good Many materials..."
The boy couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, but as he went along, after Cao Zhen reviewed more than a dozen alchemy rooms in succession, he found... something was wrong! This person can smell what elixir is being refined in the alchemy room just by relying on his nose! Didn't the shopkeeper say that if you guess three times out of ten with the scent of medicine, you will be a top master of alchemy?
In order to take care of its big customers, Baodingxuan would usually ask the customers what kind of elixir they were refining, so as to recommend more suitable earth fire and elixir furnaces, so the waiter knew that Cao Zhen had made no mistake along the way!
When Cao Zhen reached the last A-shaped room, he suddenly quickened his pace. He pushed the boy forward and urged: "Go faster."
The boy was also puzzled. He had been commenting on various alchemy rooms along the way. Why did he ignore the alchemy room of a big shot that the shopkeeper said he could not afford to offend?
"My noble peak master?" The boy couldn't help but ask, "Room 36, number A, why don't you comment on it?"
"He's about to explode. I'm a fool to judge him." Cao Zhen pushed the boy's back and urged him to move faster and said, "Is this how you make the Violent Fire Pill? Everyone in it will probably be blown to death. ! You should order a coffin for the people inside in advance."
When the boy heard this, the shock on his face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a sneer. He had read the information record about Room A No. 36. The person registered was for refining Mingxin Chaolu Pill. It seems that this person It’s not possible to get it right every time.
"My lord, please don't panic. This No. 36 room is made from the Mingxin Chaolu Pill." The boy quickly explained with a smile.
Cao Zhen smelled the scent of the medicine carefully again and determined that it was the same as the Wild Fire Violent Pill recorded in the three volumes of the Dadong Scripture. He immediately realized that the person who made the pill must have lied to Baodingxuan.
The Mingxin Morning Dew Pill is mild in nature, and even if it is useless after refining, it will be useless once the pill is made.
But the Violent Fire Pill is completely different! This elixir is like fire and can easily explode when refined. Baodingxuan should charge a high deposit, right? After all, if it explodes, the deposit will not be refunded.
The deposit for the Mingxin Chaolu Pill is obviously very low, but the deposit for the Violent Fire Pill is probably very high, right?
It’s better not to talk too much! Cao Zhen knew that anyone who could afford to rent such an expensive Jiazi account must be a person with high strength and status in the Baifeng Sect. Talking nonsense could easily cause trouble for himself.
The two of them passed through the alchemy rooms one by one and finally arrived at Room 72 of Guizihao.
Compared with the previous fine stone house, Cao Zhen began to understand why it was so cheap. Here was a hole dug in the earth, and a basic alchemy furnace made of black iron, immortal copper and stove fire stone was placed in it.
Once upon a time, there was such a basic alchemy furnace on the Four Treasures Peak. However, in recent years, for the development of the disciples, all the pawnable items on the Four Treasures Peak were sent to pawn shops.
After the boy left, Cao Zhen no longer lamented the current poverty of Sibaofeng. After closing the door, he activated the magic circle of the Danlufang to prevent others from disturbing him, and put all kinds of medicinal materials in the Danlufang. .
