Chapter 231 I’m afraid you sick
Xuerong Dan is an upgraded version of Qi Yi Dan.
With the improvement of cultivation level, it is obvious that the second-grade elixir Qi-Yi Dan cannot meet the needs of cultivators. Therefore, smart alchemists changed the recipe and refining method of Qi-Yi Dan and developed the Qi-Yi Dan. Xuelong Dan is a fifth-grade high-level elixir that can also be used by late-stage practitioners.
The cost of Snow Melt Pill is not necessarily cheap, but it must be one of the pills that every foundation-building practitioner needs to prepare.
Therefore, even if it were not for this auction, Su Ziyi would put the refining of Xuerong Dan on the agenda as soon as possible. After all, the opening time of the Water Swamp Realm would be soon.
While Su Ziyi was busy refining the elixir, more and more people poured into Qixia Town.
These people come from all over the Yuan Kingdom, including casual cultivators and people from aristocratic families, but no matter who they are, after entering Qixia Town, they will walk around the town to see if there is anything worth buying.
During this visit, some people visited Sujiadanfang.
The location of Sujiadanfang is not good. Not only is it not in the West City, it is also located a few streets away from the main street. If someone hadn't gone there specifically, they wouldn't have discovered its existence. But before the auction started, there were too many idle people, so even if the Sujia Danfang was deserted on weekdays, there were still many guests at this time.
When most people first came in, they looked up and saw the shelves full of elixirs of many types. They immediately felt happy. But when they asked about the price, they found it was 20 to 30% higher than other shops, and they immediately thought of giving up. , turned around and left. Only a small number of people asked Bian Qing to take the elixir and put it on the counter to examine it carefully because they suspected that Sujia Danfang was cheating money.
And at this glance, someone who knows the goods will immediately see the clue.
Su Ziyi is already a fifth-grade alchemist. Even though he has not refined third-grade elixirs for a long time, the quality of the elixirs left in the store are at least top-grade. Not to mention the efficacy, they are just round and shiny. The appearance makes people like it. This is not to mention the third-grade elixirs that Su Ziyi refined during his recent training. They are all of the highest quality, so how could they be so cheap?
Without any hesitation, this group of people took out the money in their pockets and bought as many elixirs as possible.
What's more, after returning to his place of stay, he shared his discovery with those close to him, and immediately brought another group of guests to Sujiadanfang. The elixirs that Sujia Danfang planned to sell for half a year were all sold out in less than ten days. Bian Qing and Su Yulang had to temporarily close the store to stop the steady stream of cultivators who came to buy elixirs. them.
"This is the first time I have encountered such a situation." After closing the store door, Su Yulang patted his heart with his little hand and said with lingering fear: "I just said that the elixir refined by my father is so good, why are there so few customers? , It turns out that the previous customers were ignorant." He wrinkled his little nose, looking a bit cute.
"Your father didn't intend to make money from ordinary cultivators." Looking at his actions, Bian Qing shook his head with a smile: "Qixia Town has many powerful forces, and the number of alchemy workshops is quite large. Our alchemy workshop is also Your father is the only one who refines elixirs. No matter the power behind him or the quantity of elixirs, he can't compare with those shops, so he didn't plan to make a lot of money from this in the beginning." "Then why did my father open a shop?" Su Yulang was puzzled.
.
"Because we want to make money." Bian Qing looked at Su Yulang and became even more confused, and couldn't help but smile: "Your father is the only one who makes alchemy in our shop, so no matter how hard he works, he can't make too many people's money. On the contrary, he will offend aristocratic families or people. People from other forces. Therefore, from the beginning, opening the store in an inconspicuous corner will prevent a large amount of people from coming in, and at the same time ensure that the store has income to support its life." "Furthermore, your father's refining
Our family can't use up all the elixirs. Instead of just leaving them there and wasting them, we might as well sell them and get more money." "That's it." Once the shop was closed, the Su family was clean,
but But
some people who came here specially were rejected.
"I told you not to be in such a hurry before. It's fine now. Here we are. The doors are closed and we don't know if anyone is there." The speaker was a middle-aged man with a swollen belly. Judging from his oily facial skin and the belly that holds up his clothes, you can tell that he must be living a good life.
There were four or five people following behind him. Among them, a young man standing next to him looked somewhat similar to him, but his temperament was much better than that of the middle-aged man. When he heard the middle-aged man complain, he would even come forward to complain. He pulled the man's sleeve and whispered: "Father——" When he said this, he looked at the man standing next to him with his hands in his hands, looking very wary.
After receiving his son's warning, the middle-aged man immediately remembered that his elder brother had arranged the matter, and immediately put away all his arrogance and did not dare to say anything.
"There is no lock on the door. There must be someone inside. Someone, come up and knock on the door." Seeing his father restrained, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. With a handsome young man's face on his face, he gave orders to the boy behind him: "Be polite, the person inside is the Third Young Master."
"Yes." The boy responded obediently, then respectfully stepped forward and knocked on the door.
That's right, the people who came were none other than Su Linhuan and his eldest son Su Ziran, the son of Su Linhuan and his childhood sweetheart. Even though this eldest son's name was unfair and he was three years older than Su Ziyi's real eldest son, no one in the entire Su family dared to openly criticize his identity due to Su Linhuan's love for their mother and son.
But there are some things that others don’t say, and the person involved is not unreasonable.
At least, the person in front of me has it in his heart.
With his back straight and a smile on his face, no one noticed the flash of gloom in his eyes. They only felt that our young master was indeed very dignified. Standing there, people couldn't help but want to take another look. It's just that this indifferent gentleman's temperament was still a bit messed up after the boy knocked on the door several times but no one answered.
Su Linhuan was more impatient than everyone present.
Therefore, after the boy called the door to no avail, he immediately probed in with his spiritual consciousness.
This is quite rude behavior, and if it were to detect other practitioners, it would probably lead to a fight immediately. But Su Linhuan, relying on his status as Su Linyu's younger brother and Su Ziyi's father, didn't care at all, and just carelessly probed in with his spiritual consciousness.
Then, what he was given back was a sharp whip from Su Ziyi's consciousness.
"Hmph -" Suddenly, Su Linhuan's face turned pale, and he took a few steps back. If Su Ziran hadn't caught him with quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have fallen down like this.
"Father."
The sudden change caused a chaos among several people. The boy didn't even bother to call the door. He hurried over and was busy, for fear that if he was a step slow, Su Linhuan would take it as a vent. You know, Su Linyu's character is not good.
It must be a bad feeling to have one's consciousness twitched like that. Moreover, Su Linyu has been pampered for decades. Although he looks glamorous and does not look old on the outside, in fact, his inner strength is not very good. The typical gold and jade are ruined on the outside. When Su Ziyi does this, his whole body is seriously damaged. When he opened his mouth, a gush of blood flowed out, scaring the people next to him into panic again.
"You traitor!" With a mouthful of blood in his mouth, Su Linhuan roared in a hoarse voice, looking at the door of Su's store as if he was about to tear the wooden door apart.
"Hurry up and help the person back home to find the alchemist." Although Su Ziran was not top-notch in cultivation, he still had the sixth level of Qi Refining. At a glance, he knew that Su Linhuan was seriously injured, so he immediately ordered the servant to take the person back to the home. . However, before he left, he looked back at the door of Sujia Danfang, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.
After whipping someone's consciousness, Su Ziyi didn't take it to heart. He didn't even realize who he was whipping.
Because at this time, all his thoughts were focused on the few pills in the pill furnace.
A lot of time has passed since he decided to refine the longevity elixir. Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who had sold out all the elixirs at home, felt bored and asked Zhang Wu to go hunting in the Meteor Fairy Forest with them. Although it took a long time, the harvest was not small. At least after he spent four or five furnaces of elixirs, he successfully refined the Xuerong Dan.
As soon as the Xuerong Pill was refined by him, the success rate of the fifth-grade pill increased at a visible rate. By the time he had used up all the Snow Melting Pill materials in his hand, at least six out of ten furnaces of Snow Melting Pills had been successful.
With such success, he boldly reached out to the longevity pill. b★☆y★y
However, the Life Extension Pill was harder to refine than he thought. It was obviously a fifth-grade high-level elixir like the Xuerong Pill, but he had to waste seven ingredients in a row before he got what he has now. One furnace. Moreover, this pot of elixir was finally ready. Just when he was extremely focused, someone extremely rudely poked his consciousness in, disturbing him who was finishing the work. How could he not let it go? Su Ziyi is angry?
It can be said that just slapping the opponent with his spiritual consciousness is considered a mercy on his part.
Fortunately, the most critical part of this furnace of elixir has passed. Even if it was disturbed by others, under Su Ziyi's emergency rescue, it was successfully condensed into elixir. However, the quality of the elixir was not good, it was of inferior quality, and the quantity was low. Not many, just two. But even this was enough to make Su Ziyi relax, which had been tense for a while.
Finally succeeded.
Su Ziyi, who successfully refined the longevity elixir, did not rest there. Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated. While replenishing the spiritual power in his body, he carefully reviewed in his mind what he had just gained from refining the elixir. As for the person who disturbed him and was taught a lesson by him, he had long ago thrown him into the Java Kingdom without even thinking about it.
When Bian Qing and Su Yulang came back from the Fallen Fairy Forest, full of blood and dust, Su Ziyi finally came out of seclusion.
"Succeeded?" As soon as he got home, he saw Su Ziyi who was freshly washed and cooking slowly. Bian Qing guessed that Su Ziyi must have refined the longevity pill. Su Ziyi put down the spatula and nodded: "Well, we'll talk about this later. I've already boiled the hot water. You go and wash up first. We'll talk while eating later."
"Okay." How could Bian Qing say anything bad? He immediately threw the monster in his hand to the ground and took Su Yulang to the bathroom.
This time, Su Ziyi refined a total of eleven life-extending pills from fifteen materials, including six low-grade pills, four medium-grade pills, and only one medium-high-grade pill. Therefore, after thinking about it, Su Ziyi decided to give half of the low-grade and medium-grade elixirs to the Xiang Mansion to be used as a reward for the other party's collection of spiritual herbs this time, and the rest was sent to the auction house. .
"Wait a minute, I'm going out to find Dr. Wu and Granny Weng." Granny Weng still has three pieces of materials, and she might be able to get a few more by then: "You guys have been tired these days. , just rest at home first."
"Okay." Bian Qing also knew that there would be many things going on at home, so he responded without objection.
Regarding the fact that Su Ziyi could refine the longevity pill, although Old Doctor Wu and Granny Weng always felt that it would be a matter of time, they did not expect that it would happen so soon. Xiangzuo, who received the news from Old Doctor Wu, quickly took the five pills away from Su Ziyi and said a kind word to Su Ziyi when he left.
As for Granny Weng, she didn't let Su Ziyi take the spiritual grass back from her first and then refine it. She directly took one of Su Ziyi's existing longevity pills and offered three pieces of the spiritual grass as reward. But Su Ziyi was not so instigative, and directly gave the only middle-grade and top-grade pill to Granny Weng, and decided to go home and use the newly obtained spiritual grass to refine a better longevity pill.
That's it, except for a trip to the auction house to consign the elixir a few days later, everything seems to have been completed.
Unexpectedly, when he happily returned home with a pack of braised meat, he saw several people standing at the door of his house, like door gods, and their clothes were embroidered with the Su family's emblem.
In an instant, Su Ziyi's expression changed.
He didn't recognize these people, nor had he seen them before. He thought they were the children of the Su family who were not brought here by Su Linyu last time. But whether he had seen them or not, it didn't stop Su Ziyi from instinctively hating them. He walked to the door with a cold face, waved his hand, and used his spiritual power to push away all the people blocking the door. Then he ignored them, took out the key, and prepared to open the door and go in. He had gone out before. The store door was locked with a big lock.
As soon as he appeared, the others were caught off guard by his push. After finally regaining their balance, they saw Su Ziyi take out the key and open the door, and they immediately guessed Su Ziyi's identity. The young man at the head even shouted: "Wait a minute, third brother!"
His roar successfully made Su Ziyi turn around. After Su Ziyi realized that the other party was talking to him, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Third brother? Who are you calling?"
"Are you calling me? I'm afraid you are sick!"
Chapter 232 Send the elixir
"I'm afraid you're sick!"
"I -" Su Ziran choked and couldn't finish the words. After a while, he finally spat out the breath in his stomach and held on to his thoughts. Su Ziyi's robe was gone, and he said in a muffled voice: "Third brother, I am Su Ziran." His tone was very serious, but after he finished speaking, his lips were pursed tightly, looking very ashamed.
His appearance did not leave any trace in Su Ziyi's heart, because: "I don't know him."
With a wave of his sleeves, he shook the person away. Then he entered the door without looking at it, leaving everyone else outside. The moment he locked the door, he also said something to the outside: "You people from Su Mansion should not bother me anymore. I It has nothing to do with the Su Mansion anymore." After saying this, the door was closed with a bang, leaving a few people in the Su Mansion outside to take a breath.
Suddenly, the expressions of everyone outside were distorted.
...
As soon as the door closed, Su Ziyi's mood improved a lot. After taking a few steps back, he suddenly remembered who this Su Ziran was, and then the corners of his mouth turned up in a sarcastic manner, he shook his head and continued walking into the courtyard. He had never expected that the original owner's stepmother's child would look like this. Wouldn't the other person be uncomfortable looking at his face?
How could it not be possible?
Su Ziran, who was kicked out for the second time, was filled with hatred and wanted to bite Su Ziyi's bones and drink all of Su Ziyi's blood. However, no matter how many curses he cursed in his heart, it could not change the fact that Su Ziyi was much stronger than him. Even if he now occupies the identity of Su Ziyi's legitimate son and is the glorious young master of the Su family, he still has to lower his noble head when facing Su Ziyi.
So, how could he not hate it.
But it's useless even if he hates it.
Nowadays, looking at the entire younger generation of the Su family, no one can achieve Su Ziyi's achievements, and there are very few who can even achieve half of Su Ziyi's achievements. Therefore, even if Su Linyu didn't like Su Ziyi anymore, he would still be reluctant to abandon such an excellent bloodline of the Su family, unless Su Ziyi completely decided to become the enemy of the Su family.
And by then, the person sent by the Su Mansion to negotiate was definitely not him, but a knife that directly took people's lives.
Therefore, no matter how ugly Su Ziyi looked at him now, the emotion in Su Ziran's heart soon passed, and he even wished that Su Ziyi would act more arrogantly, so that someone would come to deal with him.
However, what he could think of, Su Ziyi could naturally think of.
"It seems that the Su family is not going to let us go." Standing in the courtyard, Su Ziyi frowned and said to Bian Qing: "I am not very afraid of the general Su family, and I am not very afraid of ordinary methods. I'm afraid they are still playing dirty tricks secretly." As a noble family, Su Mansion, even if there is no golden elixir in charge, there are still many practitioners in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and once you encounter such a person, even if he has It's hard to get anything good by means.
"We used to think that we could deepen our friendship with Xiang Mansion, but it seems that our thinking was too simple." Speaking of this matter, Su Ziyi felt unwilling to do so: "Now it seems that the other party will only do it because of Xiang Mansion's presence. On the surface, they won't do anything to us, but secretly, they can't say anything about it -" He still remembered the incident when the Yang Mansion in Qixia Town was filled with blood overnight and no one survived.
"Then what should we do?"
"We can only do what we planned before -" With that, Su Ziyi took Bian Qing to the study room, took out a scroll from the bookshelf and spread it on the desk. Bian Qing took a closer look and found that this was actually a map, and it was a very detailed map. From it, not only could they see Qixia Town, where they were located, but also the countries surrounding the Yuan Kingdom, but there was no internal map. It's just as clear as the Yuan Dynasty.
"Here-" Su Ziyi tapped his fingers on the map.
"Dai Guo." Bian Qing looked over and read out the two words above. He immediately understood Su Ziyi's plan, and Su Ziyi's plan was one of the plans they made when they were in Luoshan Village. , and he agreed at that time. Therefore, Bian Qing didn't have any tangle in his heart. He just raised his head and asked calmly: "Are you sure?" "
Yes." Su Ziyi was studying the map with his head lowered and did not look at Bian Qing: "I checked some information. , it turns out that going to Dai Country is easier than we thought." As he said that, his fingertips climbed to the narrow strip of Meteor Fairy Forest where Yuan Kingdom and Dai Kingdom intersected, and then his fingers went up along the direction of the narrow mountain range, and then With a sudden movement, he landed at a location: "Middle layer of the Fallen Immortal Forest, Qixia Town."
Suddenly, Bian Qing's eyes lit up.
With just one glance, Su Ziyi understood Bian Qing's heart, and he nodded with satisfaction: "I bought some books about Dai Guo outside before, and studied the situation there, and found that maybe It's better than the Yuan Kingdom." As he said that, he took some books from the bookshelf and handed them to Bian Qing.
"There are no aristocratic families in Dai State, but there are various large and small forces. These forces are large and small, and fierce conflicts often break out. Therefore, the folk customs of Dai State are also strong, but precisely because of the many conflicts, among the forces of Dai State, There is no existence like the Yuan Kingdom that lasts for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It is already remarkable to be able to guarantee that one's own power will not be destroyed within a thousand years." "It sounds a bit cruel, but this
is The place is actually the best place to train cultivators." Worried that Bian Qing was a little scared, Su Ziyi added after finishing the above paragraph.
"I know." Bian Qing is no longer the timid young man he was before. His expression did not change when he heard Su Ziyi's words.
"So, I decided to take advantage of this auction to store more things. Then when the Water Realm opens, we-" while speaking, his fingers kept moving on the map: "We will enter with great fanfare. Within the territory of Shui Ze. After the closure of Shui Ze Realm, we will directly use the cover of the miasma layer to reach the narrow mountain range and enter Dai Country." "At that time, we will create some traces in the territory of Shui Ze Land, making people mistakenly think that we have died in Shui Ze Land.
Within the territory, just get rid of the entanglement of those people." After saying that, he took his hand back and looked at Bian Qing: "Although the plan is still a bit rough, what do you think?" "Very good, let's do it
. ." How could Bian Qing have any objections to Su Ziyi's plan? It's just that he thought more carefully than Su Ziyi. Then he talked about several issues based on Su Ziyi's suggestions, filled in the loopholes in the plan one by one with Su Ziyi, and improved the entire plan.
"Then let's follow this plan." Finally, Su Ziyi said.
The days flew by quickly, and soon it was time to go to the auction house to deliver the elixir.
On the day when he went to deliver the longevity pills to Dr. Wu's Villa, Su Ziyi made an appointment with Xiangzuo to take him to the auction house on that day, which would save a lot of time and steps. However, when he followed Xiang Zuo into the auction house, he truly felt that the family really valued this auction.
The auction house is located on one of the most prosperous streets in the West City. It directly connects a five-story wooden building from top to bottom, turning it into a stadium-style auction site. Above the third floor are boxes of various sizes. You can directly see the bottom through the cover. The seats on the three floors below are also neatly arranged, forming a circle and clustering a high platform in the middle.
Although there was nothing on the high platform at the moment, Su Ziyi guessed that it should be the center of the entire auction.
The entire venue was surrounded by people from the aristocratic family, so Su Ziyi only had time to take a quick look before following Xiang Zuo. And just by looking at it, he could see how brightly the entire venue was decorated. The seats below the third floor were actually made of precious wood, which showed how much effort the family had put into this time.
This also made him rarely worry about whether the life-extending pill he refined was qualified enough to enter the auction house.
It's just that while he is so worried here, Xiang Zuo is completely different. While leading Su Ziyi forward, he also introduced to Su Ziyi: "The cultivators coming this time are not only cultivators from the surrounding towns, but also people from the aristocratic families in the capital." His expression showed. There is a faint sense of pride in him, but in fact he is just a member of the bottom class of the family.
"Although the fifth-grade elixir cannot be said to be rare, the life-extending elixir you refined, Brother Su, is also something that has a price but no market, so it will definitely fetch a good price at the auction this time." Xiang Zuo's words completely made Su Ziyi I felt relieved, and at the same time I knew that I should be able to make a decent amount of money this time, but it wouldn't be too much.
But, as long as it's enough.
Because of the advance plan, Su Ziyi did not make any disguise this time and followed Xiang Zuo to the auction house with his own face on his face. Such behavior seemed ordinary and normal, but Xiang Zuo was still keenly aware that something was wrong with Su Ziyi. However, he observed for a long time and didn't find anything. In the end, he had to give up because he was overthinking.
The scale of this auction was so large that it naturally attracted many people who wanted to send things here for auction, so there were several long queues in front of the appraiser's window. However, most of the people in these teams were disguised, and some even covered themselves in black cloaks and veils.
However, such a disguise is too inferior. A cultivator can see his face clearly with just one look with his spiritual sense. It is completely better than an existence without self-comfort. Fortunately, people who pretend like this basically don’t have anything good in their hands, so they are dismissed by the appraiser in just a few words.
With the guidance to the left, Su Ziyi didn't waste any time waiting in line and met with one of the elixir appraisers.
This is a middle-aged man with a pointed chin. His skin is sallow and turbid, and he has a sharp and mean look. He really doesn't look easy to get along with. But when he saw that the person coming was facing left, his cloudy pupils burst out with light, and all the muscles and skin on his face were mobilized instantly, turning him into a submissive villain in the blink of an eye. Su Ziyi's expression changed, which made Su Ziyi very interesting.
But Xiang Zuo frowned.
He shook his head: "Are you the only one here today? Where is your master?" As he spoke, it was obvious that Xiang Zuo disliked the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man was also a little confused by his squeeze. Embarrassed, a flash of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, but in the end he said honestly: "Rest in the back."
Xiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go and ask your master."
"But, my master said aside. Just let me bring you the things." The middle-aged man said dryly. It's not that he said this on purpose, but because they haven't been able to receive anything better from outsiders for a while, so in the end, capable people like his master simply ignored it. When it's over, leave everything directly to their disciples.
After all, they have been in the family for so many years, what good things have they not seen? I don’t think anything good will appear in the hands of the group of casual cultivators outside.
However, Xiang Zuo obviously didn't know what they were thinking.
As soon as he heard what the other party said, his eyebrows immediately furrowed, and then he glanced quickly at the middle-aged man, with some disdain in his tone: "Can you also identify fifth-grade high-level elixirs?" "What? "The middle-aged man's face changed drastically: "Fifth-grade high-level elixir?" His eyes were a little flustered, and he blinked fiercely to express his disbelief. It was not until he jumped from Xiang Zuo's body to Su Ziyi's body beside him that he recovered slightly. A little sense, but also a strong sense of disbelief.
Because, he sensed an aura of strength in Su Ziyi that was much higher than his own.
You know, although he is not as good as Xiang Zuo, he is still a practitioner at the third level of Qi refining. In addition, he can also refine elixirs, so he has always been serious about the casual cultivators outside. As a result, he didn't expect that the young man following Xiang Zuo exuded such strong pressure that his eyes hurt just by looking at him.
When did this casual cultivator become so powerful?
It's no wonder that he directly put all suspicion on Su Ziyi. As a member of Xiang Mansion, he was too familiar with Xiang Zuo.
The things that Xiang Mansion is willing to put up for auction have already been sent over, so there is definitely nothing that Xiang Zuo wants to send over, and even if it is sent, it will not be through this channel facing outsiders. As for Xiangzuo having treasures on his body? It would be more cost-effective to send it to the auction house than to give it directly to its owner. Therefore, after eliminating all doubts, the middle-aged man directly set his sights on Su Ziyi.
But he didn't expect that Su Ziyi, who looked inconspicuous, was so powerful that no one could underestimate him.
Suddenly, his entire expression changed, and he almost skipped to the back room to find his master.
