Chapter 149 Meeting Xiang Zuo again
"Yulang, where is your velvet rat?"
"Huh?" Su Yulang, who was busy burying the Void Spirit Stone in the flowerpot, was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips, lowered his head and continued to be himself. He replied: "Sold."
"Huh? Sold? Don't you like it very much?" Su Ziyi felt strange when he heard what he said.
"I really liked it at first." Su Yulang sighed like a little adult: "But I didn't expect it to eat so much, and it also secretly bites our spiritual grass!" He put on a look on his face. Gritting his teeth: "If I hadn't discovered it earlier, it would have eaten that loose moon grass!" "
When I got angry, I sold it directly. Anyway, the monster shop on West Street also sells it. This, the price is not bad, so I sold it."
"Pfft--" Su Zi Yidun felt a little bit dumbfounded after hearing what the child said. But in fact, when I think about it, a loose moon grass is nothing. If they want to raise it, their family can afford it. Su Yulang's approach lacks the innocence of a child and has more maturity that makes people feel distressed. But it was useless to think so much at this point. He smiled at Su Yulang and said, "Is there anything else Yulang wants? Father bought it for you as a reward for your recent progress in cultivation." "Really
? Is that so?" Su Yulang didn't expect such a good thing to happen at all, and his bright eyes suddenly curved into crescent moons.
"Then I want a new whip." As if worried that Su Ziyi would regret it, Su Yulang said hurriedly: "The other day I saw a beautiful soft whip in the shop next to the Monster Shop. I really want it." Then, he puffed up his cheeks again, looking a little disappointed: "But the snow velvet mouse was only sold for one hundred taels of silver, but the whip cost three hundred taels. The total of all my pocket money is still not enough." Finally, he He sighed sadly.
Are you exchanging pets for whips?
Although Su Yulang had a sad look on his face, his rolling eyes told people that he was in high spirits. Su Ziyi didn't point it out, just smiled: "Okay, okay, you see how big the difference is, I will help you make up for it." It happened that he was short of some important medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs in his pharmacy, and he would go out for a walk later. good.
Therefore, after lunch, the Su family members went directly to the West City without opening the shop or going to the gym to learn whips.
Compared to the East City, the atmosphere in the West City is heavier, and there are more aristocratic families on the streets. Su Ziyi and Bian Qing each held one of Su Yulang's hands and walked silently down the street. When they saw Su Yulang's somewhat uneasy eyes, they gave each other a reassuring smile before straightening up and continuing to walk forward.
The store Su Yulang was talking about was actually the property of aristocratic family, so compared to ordinary stores, this store was not affected by the atmosphere on the street. When the clerk saw the Su family walking in, he came over with a smile: "Hello, gentlemen, how can I help you?" After hearing this, Su Ziyi turned his eyes to the front.
This slightly bent shop assistant didn't even need to use his spiritual sense to detect that he was an ordinary person.
Lowering his head, Su Ziyi shook Su Yulang's hand and motioned for Su Yulang to speak. After having his parents by his side, Su Yulang suddenly felt confident and said in a crisp voice: "I want to buy a whip." Although he did not directly say that he wanted that whip, his eyes were already looking towards the counter uncontrollably. passed.
How could the store clerk not see such a straightforward instruction? After seeing clearly where the little boy was looking, the smile on his face became more sincere, and he led the three people of the Su family towards the direction of the whip. As he walked away, he kept livening up the atmosphere: "Well, young master, you have come to the right place. The weapons in our store are not only the most comprehensive in the town, but the quality is definitely the best." "If you
are If you want to buy a whip, you might as well try this one." With that said, the store clerk gave Su Yulang the whip that Su Yulang had been thinking about.
This is a fiery red eight-method whip, the length of which is exactly the same as the one Su Yulang is used to. The whip head made of black iron-colored metal looks heavy, but it is very easy to hold in the hand, and it is not burdensome at all. The long fiery red whip body is tightly wrapped by clusters of red ropes, which looks both powerful and tough.
Su Yulang input a trace of spiritual power into it, and immediately a layer of invisible flames enveloped the entire whip, making the air around the whip become a little unreal.
Seeing this, Su Ziyi and Bian Qing on the side stepped back. The shop assistant, who didn't expect that the little Shuang'er in front of him was actually a cultivator, was also shocked and stepped back. In an instant, Su Yulang was vacated. A big chunk. Seeing this, Su Yulang immediately picked up the whip, flicking it and picking it up. Although the moves seemed very simple, the strength attached to the whip should not be underestimated.
After Su Yulang finished his trick, he held the whip tightly in his hand and looked at his father with blinking eyes, and the longing in his eyes almost jumped out. Seeing this, Su Ziyi could only shake his head in amusement, and then asked the shop assistant who was a little dazed: "How much does this whip cost?" As he said that, his eyes also glanced at the other whips.
When Su Ziyi asked this question, the store clerk immediately came back to his senses. He thought that even the little Shuang'er in front of him was a cultivator, so these two adults must be too. So he immediately put away his surprise and said dryly: "Three hundred taels of silver." Worried that the other party would think it was expensive, he quickly added a few words: "This whip looks simple, but the whip is actually made of It is made of sixteen scarlet ferocious tendons, and the red whip skin on the outside is also made of fire cloud beast and red ferocious hair, so the price is really not expensive." After hearing what he said, Su Zi felt
relieved He nodded and felt that the price was not expensive. But at the same time, I also know that although the material of this whip is good, it should only be made by ordinary craftsmen. If it is made by a cultivator, the price will definitely increase several times.
However, for Su Yulang now, it is enough.
So he immediately asked the store clerk to wrap up the things. At the same time, he turned his head and said to Bian Qing: "Do you have anything you want? I remember that the whip body of the whip you used is also quite worn." Bian Qing He is a diligent person. In addition to going to the gym to study with Liu Suiying, he also insists on practicing whipping for two hours every day, so it didn't take long for the whip, which was made of ordinary materials, to become damaged.
"Me?" Although Su Ziyi's words made Bian Qing feel sweet, he also had other considerations, so there was hesitation on his face.
"Well, I haven't given you anything for so long, so I'll make up for it today." After saying that, he tilted his head and said to the shop assistant holding the wooden box: "What good things do you have in your shop?" Do you want a whip? If you have one, take it out and take a look." Seeing that Su Ziyi had said this, Bian Qing stopped being coy and secretly hid Su Ziyi's kindness towards him in his heart like a treasure. .
"Hey, ok, ok, please wait a moment, sir." The shop clerk didn't expect that the man in front of him was so generous. He immediately smiled and handed the wrapped whip to Su Yulang's hand, and immediately walked out of the counter. I found a few Shiquan whips and introduced them in detail. Although these perfect whips are not necessarily the best, in terms of materials, they are the same as Su Yulang's one, they are all made from certain parts of the monster beast.
Bian Qing couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the store clerk's introduction. He took the initiative to touch the soft whips. After trying them one by one, he chose a green leather soft whip rolled from green horn tendons. The material required It's a grade higher than Su Yulang's one, so the price is a lot more expensive, so I just asked for a thousand taels.
But Su Ziyi's expression didn't change at all. He directly counted out 1,300 taels from the 1,500 taels of silver notes he sold to the monster beast yesterday, and bought back both whips. Seeing the extremely rare look of the two holding the whip, I felt very happy.
After finishing shopping, Su Ziyi saw that there was nothing else to do, so he took the people to go to the medicine store. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he bumped into a group of people who were just trying to get in. People on both sides braked simultaneously, and when they looked up, they found that the person opposite was actually an acquaintance of theirs!
"Brother Su!"
"Butler Xiang!"
Su Ziyi didn't expect to meet Xiang Zuo here. After carefully observing Xiang Zuo, he found that in addition to the surprise on his face, there was also a trace of difficulty hidden in his eyes. The fear of being noticed. This made him find it interesting. Based on the past between him and Xiang Zuo, they might have the joy of reunion, or the secret joy of catching themselves again, but there should be no fear.
fear.
What on earth did he do, or what happened to Xiang Zuo, that caused the other party to have such strange emotions?
Su Ziyi didn't ask, and when he saw that there was no desire to seek out his secrets in the other person's eyes, he let go of his worries. He smiled cheerfully towards Zuo, as if he was extremely happy to see his old friend: "I heard from Butler Xiang that you also had Xiang's property in Qixia Town. I was thinking about when I could see you again? I didn't expect this. It's not too late."
At this time, Xiang Zuo had put away all his surprises, and the expression on his face was as perfect as before, but when he saw Su Ziyi's face, the experience that night still made him feel... He was trembling a little. Like Su Ziyi, he had a friendly and kind face: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Brother Su." His eyes turned around Bian Qing
and Su Yulang, and he deepened the curvature of the corners of his mouth and asked : "Brother Su, are you bringing your husband and children out to buy weapons? This store is owned by Xiang Mansion. If you need it, you can come to me directly and I will ask the shopkeeper to give you a more favorable price. After all, I was here Shuiyun Town, we have taken more care of you."
Su Ziyi didn't expect that they would stumble into the Xiang family's property, but when he heard Xiang Zuo say this, he also knew that the other party probably didn't have the idea. Come on him. So he thought that the friendship between him and Xiang Fu might be able to continue.
"Thank you very much, Butler Xiang." Su Ziyi accepted without any excuse.
"By the way, is Little Brother Su still refining elixirs now?" After what happened that day, the group of them no longer dared to make plans for Su Ziyi. Instead, they thought of the golden elixir period behind Su Ziyi. After that, he still thought about getting closer to Su Ziyi. After all, it was a golden elixir, a golden elixir that none of the Xiang family had.
"Yes." Su Ziyi reported the address of his alchemy shop and invited Xiang Zuo to come over and sit down.
"That's okay, I'll remember it." Xiang Zuo said, then he remembered something, and explained it earnestly: "This time, old doctor Wu also came to Qixia Town with him. He missed you so much, you Go and see him when you have time." After that, he also told the address of Dr. Wu's yard. After Su Ziyi made sure that he remembered it and promised to visit him in a few days, they left.
After the Su family and the others were out of sight, the smile on Xiang Zuo's mouth dropped slightly, and he became a little helpless.
After they were far away, Bian Qing felt relieved. He was still a little worried and approached Su Ziyi and asked softly: "Is nothing going to happen if I show up to Butler Xiang here?" Su Ziyi shook his head. , also lowering his voice, told him in detail what he had just observed, making Bian Qing completely relieved.
Afterwards, they went to the medicine store to buy the herbs and spiritual herbs they wanted to buy, and had a dinner outside before walking towards home under the lights along the street.
What they didn't expect was that before they even reached the door of their store, a strong smell of blood hit their noses.
"Who?" Subconsciously, Su Ziyi pulled Su Yulang and Bian Qing behind him, frowning at the black shadow at the door of his store, and his spiritual power quietly gathered in his hands. After Su Ziyi's voice passed through, the black shadow finally moved and walked under the light, allowing Su Ziyi to see the opponent's face clearly, and at the same time put away the offensive in his hands.
"Doctor Xu, what's the matter with you here?"
Yes, that's right, the black figure that shrank in front of the Sujia Danfang was the one who bought the prescriptions of Sanyu Ling and Zhixue Powder from Su Ziyi. Doctor Xu. He did not come alone. There were two people behind him. Both of them were men, but one of them was seriously injured and his breath was weak. He could only continue to stand with the support of the other man.
Su Ziyi had also seen this injured man. He was the man who accompanied Dr. Xu to the Alchemy Shop that day to buy prescriptions.
Doctor Xu and others had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he heard Su Ziyi's voice, he immediately started to move. Unexpectedly, his numb feet almost caused him to stumble. After he stood firm, he quickly He gave a big salute to Su Ziyi, with an urgent tone and a sincere plea: "Senior, please, please save the juniors in our gym!"
Chapter 150 Wang Xi’s incident
The man named Wang almost had only one breath left.
He didn't know what happened to him, so Su Ziyi didn't rush to rescue him. Instead, he opened the store door and led them in, and then asked what was going on.
After listening to Dr. Xu's narration, Su Ziyi couldn't help but look at the man named Wang with some sympathy.
This incident was also caused by the trouble left by Wang Xi.
Although the man surnamed Wang and Wang Xi are not very close, they are from the same family branch for several generations. However, as time goes by and the number of people in the branch grows, the blood relationship between them becomes more and more distant. By now he is almost like a stranger. Just because they were both warriors, the two of them were somewhat familiar with each other, but they were only casual acquaintances.
I just didn't expect that Wang Xi got Sanyu Ling and Zhixue San from Su Ziyi a while ago. These two drugs have miraculous effects and are also very attractive to the man surnamed Wang, so there was no hesitation at that time, and the man I found Wang Xi and further inquired about where these two drugs were produced.
What happened next is what Su Ziyi knew.
But what I didn't expect was that just at this moment, when their Zhengyang Martial Arts School was fully preparing to stock up on Sanyu Ling and Zhixue Powder, the martial arts including Wang Xi were tricked by the aristocratic families headed by the Yang family. It couldn't be more miserable. After Wang Xi's desperate revenge, the family also followed the clues and found the man named Wang, and took him away without any explanation. After beating him severely and asking no questions, he threw him back like garbage.
And this severe beating almost killed him.
The light of the candlelight shone on Dr. Xu's old face. The wrinkled face looked haggard. After saying these things, he raised his head and said dryly: "That's it." He was afraid. Su Ziyi refused to lend a helping hand, and hurriedly added: "Wang Shui is a good, honest and reliable boy. I have watched him grow up, so I beg you, senior, save him." At the end of the sentence, , that thick nasal voice made it clear how uncomfortable he was.
"Husband?" At this time, Bian Qing, who had been standing silently beside him, tugged at Su Ziyi. Su Ziyi tilted his head, and suddenly he frowned and came over to ask in a low voice: "This matter will not involve us. Go?" Although Wang Xi was pitiful, Bian Qing was extremely repelled when he thought that their peaceful life would be broken because of him.
"It's okay." Su Ziyi patted the other party's hand reassuringly.
They are cultivators, different from warriors, so even if the family investigates, they will only know that there are only a few transactions between them and Wang Xi. This is really not a reason for the family to take action against them. And even if people from the aristocratic family come, he can still pick them out.
He turned back to look at the aqua regia lying on the ground. At this time, Wang Shui's black and yellow face was already pale, and a thick layer of death was heavy on his face. Seeing this, Su Ziyi was silent for a moment, then raised his eyelids and said to Doctor Xu: "I have something here There is a kind of elixir called Heart-Protecting Pill, which can protect the heart of people who are dying."
After hearing Su Ziyi's words, Dr. Xu was immediately overjoyed and wanted to ask for the medicine without thinking.
But before he could open his mouth, Su Ziyi took the lead and interrupted him: "Let's talk about it first, I only have a few heart-protecting pills here, and because most of them are precious spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs, I sell one pill for you." The price is two thousand five hundred taels." He stretched out two fingers to indicate a two: "This price is not because I just sit down and raise the price, but because I need so much. Even if you come to buy it on weekdays, I will still offer this price. "
This price is a bit expensive for ordinary people. You should think it through before deciding whether to buy it or not. Once we sell it, we will no longer accept returns." Two thousand five
hundred Two?
When he heard the price, the man standing next to Wang Xi was stunned. He still remembered that Dr. Xu spent four thousand taels to buy two prescriptions from this alchemy shop last time, but that one could be turned into real money. But now, one pill costs two thousand five hundred taels? Once you eat it, it’s gone. Is this really necessary?
Before the man even noticed it, his eyes looking at Wang Shui lying on the ground had become a little cold.
Although Su Ziyi noticed this kind of thing, he didn't point it out. He only fixed his gaze on Dr. Xu who was in distress, and looked at his back that bent down immediately after hearing the price he reported. He was a little bored and lost his mind, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I bought it!"
After the candlelight flickered a few times, Dr. Xu, who had always had a stiff face, responded directly with his neck red and gritted his teeth. And his response was far beyond the other man's expectation. The man looked at Doctor Xu in disbelief and said in horror: "Doctor Xu!" That was not two taels of silver, nor was it two hundred and fifty taels! But two thousand five hundred taels! This is the kind of wealth that ordinary warriors like them would take more than ten years to earn!
But Dr. Xu had made up his mind. Without waiting for him to continue, he counted out a few banknotes from his purse, handed them to Su Ziyi's hand with trembling hands, and said sadly: " Here is one thousand five hundred taels. Senior, please save Wang Shui first. I will go back and get the remaining one thousand taels later. I will not miss a tael." After saying this, his waist became more and more bent. got up.
The man stared at the banknote in Doctor Xu's hand, as if this could stop the transaction, but Su Ziyi took the banknote without changing his eyes and handed it to Bian Qing beside him. He nodded towards him. Bian Qing understood what he meant, went behind the counter, and took out a cyan porcelain bottle with a small "heart" engraved on it. He carefully opened the stopper on it, and after making sure that he had not taken the wrong pill, Then he stood up, walked to Su Ziyi, and handed the elixir to Dr. Xu.
As soon as the elixir was obtained, a refreshing fragrance penetrated directly into Dr. Xu's nostrils. He looked at the elixir in his hand extremely complicatedly, blinked in pain, and then with very fast movements, he stuffed the elixir into Wang Shui's mouth, while at the same time outputting spiritual energy with his right hand, leading the elixir. Enter the opponent's body and quickly dissolve the medicinal power.
Immediately, Wang Shui's complexion recovered a lot at an extremely fast speed, and his breathing became clearer at the same time.
After seeing that the heart-protecting pill was really useful, Dr. Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Shui Wang with relief, then stood up and bowed to Su Ziyi: "Thank you, senior." Su Ziyi only said He nodded slightly, but when his eyes caught sight of the face of the man who was staring at Wang Shui with a look of resentment, the corner of his mouth could not help but turn up in a sarcastic way.
"I'll go back and get the banknote. Please wait a moment, senior." Dr. Xu rubbed his face with his hands. Doctor Xu felt tired. He didn't dare to think about what kind of criticism he would encounter after returning to the gym. .
"It's okay. You can send it over tomorrow or in a few days. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Su Ziyi glanced at the aqua regia on the ground. Although the Heart Protecting Pill had preserved his heart veins, other methods were still needed to cure it: "It would be better for you to send him to the hospital for treatment first. If you waste time, you might have some sequelae." Hearing what Su Ziyi said, Doctor Xu suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and he walked toward Su Ziyi again.
A big gift, and after saying a few words of thanks, he and the man carried the aqua regia away. But as he walked in front, his back became more and more stooped, as if he couldn't wait for the day when he could straighten up.
This sad atmosphere spread to everyone in the Su family. Su Yulang couldn't help but move closer to Su Ziyi, pressing her cheek against his arm, while Bian Qing also put a hand on Su Ziyi's shoulder. In this regard, Su Ziyi didn't say anything, but after Dr. Xu and others left, he stood up and closed the store door.
In this world, everyone has suffering.
He had no right to interfere with these sufferings.
Although this episode affected the mood of the family, after one night, the three of them put the matter behind them as if they had made an appointment. Su Ziyi went into the pharmacy and concocted several potions for himself. After soaking several times, the hidden wounds caused by the Thunder Beast were gradually eliminated.
After all these hidden injuries were removed, Su Ziyi turned his attention to the body of the Thunder Beast in the storage bag.
The Sky Thunder Beast is a mid-level third-level monster, which is very helpful for him who is currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He has made some progress in his cultivation due to actual combat and elixirs, and he may be able to take a further step forward by relying on this sky thunder beast. But before he can do anything, he needs to solve other problems first.
Because it was afternoon, Bian Qing and Su Yulang both went to the gym, so Su Ziyi was the only one in the whole store.
Su Ziyi sat behind the counter, holding a book and reading it slowly. This was a book he got from the thin old man's storage bag. It talked about some weird cultivation methods. Although there was nothing substantial, it was It was an eye-opener for Su Ziyi.
Just when he was praising the cultivators in the north who could use the ingenuity of the weapon refining to break away from the constraints of cultivation and fly into the sky, a group of people wearing moon-white robes filed in from the door. All of them were bright-eyed and full of energy, and there was a hint of arrogance in their brows that they could not hide no matter how hard they tried. Seven or eight of them walked up to the counter without even saying hello.
After noticing that they had the aura of cultivators, Su Ziyi lazily raised his head. After a quick glance, he found that the highest cultivation level among them was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. He suddenly had no idea and lowered his head to continue looking. own book.
However, when opening a shop and doing business, no matter what the intention of the visitor is, he must always greet him: "What elixir do you need?" When
Su Ziyi glanced over, the group of children from the aristocratic family felt a pressure and immediately realized that they were sitting in the shop. The young man behind the counter who is about the same age as me is much better than the rest of my group! Their expressions suddenly changed, and the arrogance on their faces completely disappeared, replaced by solemn expressions. Even though Su Ziyi lazily entertained them, he did not show any anger.
The smart ones among them even began to wonder whose family the young man in front of them was a descendant of. After thinking for a long time, there was no familiar image in their memory that could match him, so they had to give up. The young man with the highest cultivation among them was the first to react. He stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Su Ziyi and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, senior. We are from the Xiong family. We are not here to buy elixirs today, but to ask for help." You asked me something."
After the young man finished speaking, those who followed him immediately wiped away the solemnity on their faces, and they all raised their heads and chests as if they were not proud.
Yes, they are cultivators of the Xiong family, why should they be humble to a casual cultivator whose origins are unknown?
The support behind them gave them great courage. The more daring ones even began to look at the entire store with a critical eye. However, they found that some of the elixirs placed on the wooden shelves behind the counter were difficult for them to obtain. After reading the exquisite product, his expression suddenly changed again.
"Oh, it's not about buying elixirs." He had thought about the arrival of the aristocratic family after he sold the heart-protecting elixir to Dr. Xu, so he didn't feel any panic in his heart: "If you have anything to do, just ask. To make a long story short, Don't waste the time of both parties, I still have to do business." When he said this, he didn't even raise his head, looking like he didn't take the other person to heart either.
His tone made the young man choke, but he still cooperated with them anyway, so let's not worry about it for the time being.
"It's like this..." The young man recounted what Wang Xi had done one by one, focusing on the fact that Wang Xi had purchased elixirs several times in Su's Alchemy Shop and that Su Ziyi had sold elixirs to Wang Shui that day. He lowered his tone and said: "Although it is too much and offensive, if you know about Wang Xi's removal, senior, I hope you can tell us, but my Xiong family will definitely have a generous gift for you." At this time, Su Ziyi raised his head and looked at the other party.
This young man looked to be in his thirties. He was thin but not pathologically thin. His chin seemed to have been sharpened, which made his whole face look a little small. However, his eyes were surprisingly bright. Su Ziyi didn't have any objections to people's appearance. He just put down the book in his hand and said calmly: "You also know that I sell elixirs here, so it is normal for them to come to me to buy medicines, but in the final analysis, I have nothing to do with them. It's just a business relationship. One person gives money and another medicine, and then all the relationships are understood."
"So, how do I know where that person has gone? Besides, he is an ordinary person, and I am a practitioner. Or, why should I get involved with them? The aqua regia you mentioned, I did sell him the elixir, the heart-protecting elixir, for 2,500 taels, and I have paid both money and goods, and now it has nothing to do with it."
"So, do you have anything else to ask?"
