059 Harvest

Dugu Muyou picked up a square box made of black stone from the table, pushed it forward, and said with a blank face, "Look at this before you talk about it. If you can't understand it, come to your elders."

The young man surnamed Yuan glanced at the black stone box suspiciously and saw that the old god Dugumu was there, looking like a bamboo in his chest, and he couldn't help shaking a little. There will be a sparseness in Baimi. Is there really something wrong with what is in this box?

The young man surnamed Yuan stretched out his hand to reach the square box. The black stone was cold and the lid of the box was heavy. He opened the box with a force in his hand.

There is a lotus-like plant lying in the square box, but it is relatively ugly. It is all black, and only the center of the flower shows a transparent green color. This "lotus" is called Bixin Wulian.

The young man surnamed Yuan looked back and forth carefully, but never found any problems.

Dugumuyou didn't seem to understand his expression, so he said, "Let's go to your elders to identify it. A spiritual material shop, you won't even dare to identify it."

The young man surnamed Yuan hesitated for a moment. The elders were very busy. If they were disturbed, it might leave a bad impression on them and affect their future. But the girl in front of him looks very confident. If this business is done, it will also be of great benefit to him. If he successfully sells materials, he can get a certain percentage of commission.

Thinking about this, the young man surnamed Yuan no longer hesitated, put away the box on the table and went upstairs to find the elder.

Dugumu picked up the teacup and had to say that the tea provided in this shop was not bad. After taking a sip, I recalled the bitter and sweet taste. Before long, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps.

There is a pinch of gray-white beard on his chin, and an old man who looks about 50 or 60 years old came in. I guess it's the elder in this shop. Behind him was the young man surnamed Yuan, holding the big wooden box before him.

The old man Baixu smiled at Dugumu, and then ordered the young man surnamed Yuan, "Put down the box and you can go."

The young man surnamed Yuan retreated obediently. Dugu Muyou looked at the old man and asked, "Is that black lotus really fake?"

The old man with white beard nodded with a smile and sat down opposite Dugu Muyou. He took out the black stone box from the big wooden box and opened it.

"The old man introduced himself first, so that your surname is Guan, and his name is often there. He is the elder in the shop. This Wulian is indeed fake, but the reputation of Zhengnan Lingcai Shop is real, and our store never sells fakes. In fact, it was the old man who deliberately replaced the real black lotus with this fake black lotus.

Dugumu was stunned for a moment. What did this old man want to do? Why do you deliberately take out fake goods? I'm afraid he has something else to say, right?

Sure enough, the old man Bai Xu continued to speak without waiting for Du Gumu to speak.

"The whole body of Bixin black lotus is black, and only the heart of the flower is green. Generally, it is not wrong to remember these two points, but in fact, it only knows one and does not know the other. The biggest key lies in the silk in the heart of the lotus. If the color of the silk is black, the black lotus has no effect. If it is green, it is a qualified black lotus. The silk in the old man's hand is black, which is obviously a fake. The girl is easy to see.

"What on earth do you want to do? Just say it."

"The old man went straight to the topic. Does the girl want to refine the elixir?"

Dugumuyou's hand holding the teacup paused slightly and was shocked, but it did not show it on his face. The formula of Butian elixir is precious, and few people know it, but the white-bearded old man broke it and didn't know what his intention was.

Dugu Muyou made a doubtful expression, "Bian Dan? Why do you ask? I also bought this material for others, but I don't know the purpose.

The old man with white beard looks happy.

"Old man guesses that these things are not for the girl's own use, but the person who asked you to buy materials must want to refine the elixir. To be honest, I was lucky enough to get a formula for tonic elixir, so I had a better understanding of the materials needed. On the list presented by the girl, the 22 materials were all needed to refine the tonic elixir, so the old man said so. The reason why I exchanged fake Wulian for real Wulian is also to consider the girl. If you can't even identify Wulian, there will be no condition to refine the tonic elixir.

"Even if you say so, so what? If you have real Bixin Wulian, take it out. I want all these 15 materials.

"Girl, wait, I have something to ask." The old man with white beard took out a box the size of a palm from his sleeve. "Actually, I still have the sixteenth material here."

Dugumu was originally interested, but now he is interested. The materials for refining Tiandan are complex, and one more can be collected.

There is a small piece of dead branch-like thing lying in the box, and the skin is wrinkled. In addition to the strong aura it emits to indicate its identity, it is easy to be recognized as a dead branch.

Dugumu took the "dead branch" to the front of his nose and smelled a pungent smell, but the smell was inexplicably mixed with a sweet and greasy smell, which was very strange.

"This is... Longzhigen."

The old man with white beard showed his appreciation, "The girl is really well-informed. Yes, this is the rare Longzhi root, which is another flavor material for refining Tiandan."

Dugumuyou put Long Zhigen back into the box and asked with a smile, "What do you want to do with me?"

She didn't believe that the old man suddenly took out such a thing and planned to sell it to her, otherwise there would be no such a claim that she had something to ask for.

The old man with white beard looks gloomy.

"The old cultivation realm has stayed in the three-color stage of the heavenly immortal master for more than ten years. If it drag on, I'm afraid there will be no chance to break through in this life. So I want to ask the girl to help introduce him. When the old man sees the man who is going to refine the tonic elixir, he will exchange this dragon root for three tonic pills with him.

"Three tonic pills?"

"Hey, it's not insatiable. You know, this Longzhi root is really hard to find. Except for my part, I don't know if the whole Jinnan is there. If the alchemy is skillful, this part is enough to refine ten tonic elixir.

The old man with a white beard and a calm face seemed to be very confident in this deal.

Dugu Muyou thought for a moment and said, "Three is too many, two. If you don't agree, don't talk about it. The rest of the materials for refining Tiandan are also very difficult to find, and this is not the only material that is precious.

The old man looked at the box in his hand, touched his beard for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Two, just two! But..." He looked at Dugu Muyou suspiciously, "Do you count what you said? If the alchemist disagrees..."

Dugumu grinned and winked at the old man, "Don't worry, because I'm the pharmacist."

"Ah?"

The old man with white beard jumped up from his seat in shock, and the chair behind him was brought up by his movements and fell to the ground with a loud noise. Since he got old, he has been slow to speak and do things, and even his mood swings have eased a lot, and he has never lost his composure like this.

But Guan Chang has no time to care about these now. He pointed to Mu You with trembling fingers, "It turns out that you... are playing with the old man!"

His face turned red, and he seemed to be angry.

Dugumuyou did not dare to neglect. He was afraid that he would be too angry, so he would break the jar and not make this deal with her. So where can she find materials? Hurry up and explain.

"I'm really going to refine Tiandan, and I'm not kidding you." Dugumu thought for a while and then said, "At the latest one month, I can be promoted to a seventh-order alchemist. When the materials are ready, I will start to refine the tonic elixir."

Guan Chang set up the chair without saying a word, sat down again, and then stared at Dugumu, his eyes full of distrust. A little girl who is only a teenager still wants to refine Tiandan. Is there something wrong with her brain?

Dugumu was helpless. She also knew that it was difficult to convince the old man, so she simply stopped explaining.

"Please don't sell this section of Longzhigen, at least wait for me for another month. If I still can't refine the tonic elixir a month later, it won't be too late for you to sell it."

After a long time, the eyes of the old man with white beard moved away.

"It's only a month. Anyway, I'm not short of money. Just think I'm crazy. Let me believe you this time."

The old man's voice is shriveling, obviously he has no hope.

Dugu Muyou didn't care and pointed to the materials on the table, "I want these. Let's pay the bill."

Guan Chang called the young man surnamed Yuan and Du Gu Muyou to settle the material money. Dugu Muyou carefully checked again and confirmed that all the materials were authentic, including the Bixin Wulian, and then paid for it.

It's time to leave. Before leaving, Dugu Muyou said to Guan Chang, "My surname is Dugu, my name is Muyou, and I am the ninth in my family. At the latest one month, I will come here to find you again. I will be taboo in the Times and ask the elder to meet me."

"Hmm." The old man with white beard answered with little interest, and he suddenly widened his eyes, "Huh? Are you the... Miss Jiu?"

"That's right."

The old man with white beard showed a shocked expression and seemed to have no hope of getting Bu Tiandan. Finally, he waved his hand and went up to the third floor.

Leave Zhengnan Lingcai Shop, but Dugu Muyou did not plan to go back. She got into a shop next to her and asked if there were any materials she needed.

This time she learned to be a little obedient and did not hand out the material list directly. Instead, buy a bunch of ordinary materials first, and then interspersed with the materials you need, which is not easy to attract the attention of others. Although Long Zhigen was found, Dugumuyou didn't want to meet the second Guan Chang, otherwise everyone in the city knew that she was going to refine the Tiandan, so what?

I visited all the material shops in Tiancai Dibao Lane. Regardless of the size, Dugumu Youquan did not let go. After such a toss, she finally found two other materials. Zhengnan Lingcai Shop is worthy of being the largest shop. All the way, other rare materials are not as rare as them.

In this way, Dugumuyou already has 17 materials on hand. In addition, the old man has Longzhi root, and she is bound to get the Tianfeng Shengguo, which is rewarded for trial. Nineteen materials have gathered, and Dugumuyou has some more confidence in refining the tonic elixir.

Unconsciously, it was dusk, and the sky was gorgeous. Dugumu walked leisurely on her way back. She gained a lot today, and she was in a good mood.

There are more people on the street than when she came, and most of them came out to relax. Some brought their families and some invited their friends to accompany them. They relieved the fatigue of the day and enjoyed this rare leisure time.

Huh? So fragrant..."

A seductive fragrance of food floated from nowhere. Dugumu suddenly felt a little hungry. Looking around, she immediately found the source of the fragrance.

A towering restaurant, spacious and above the gate for ten people to enter and exit at the same time, the gilded plaque is hung high, on which is engraved with three big words: the rare restaurant.
