Chapter 478: Spirit Pill Shop
Qin Di walked out of the Royal Library and wandered around Dayong City.
The most lively place in Dayong City is called "Qingye Street". This street is east-west and is the dividing line between the north and south urban areas. It is covered with various shops. It is rich in cultivating supplies, with people coming and going, and traffic.
At the east end of Qingye Street, close to the entrance of Xianyemen, it is the most prosperous and lively place, and it can be said that every inch of land is valuable. The street is 180 miles from east to west, and the more you go west, the more remote it goes west, not only the number of stores, but the number of customers is also greatly reduced. However, in this way, the shops in the west are relatively spacious and not as crowded as in the east.
Qin Di walked west for a long time and saw a "Pill Shop" with a transfer sign hanging at the door.
He stopped outside the store door and looked around, and found a spiritual herb shop across the street, which was convenient to buy spiritual herbs.
The Lingdan store has a door open, and there are no customers inside. There is only a gray-haired woman, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sitting in the store.
Qin Di walked in and looked and found that the elixirs in the store were basically sold out.
The gray-haired woman came up and asked, "Sir, what do you want?"
Qin Di asked: "I saw that signboard, so I came in quietly. Why did your store transfer?"
The woman sighed, showed a sad look and said, "My old man was originally a alchemist. He failed to survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation not long ago and lost people. I have a son who is a serious disciple of the Xianye Sect. He has a low status and cannot protect his family, so we have to leave Dayong City."
According to the rules here, a family must have a Nascent Soul monk or a Jindan real person with a skill to settle down in Dayong City. Since the old man died, the family will lose the qualification to stay in the capital.
Qin Di asked, "I want to take this store, but I don't have enough fairy stones in my hand. I wonder if there is a way to make a comeback?"
The woman said, "There is a solution. If you keep us and let us and the four of us be nominal clerks, you can slowly pay the transfer fee. This is my little grandson, who is only 12 years old this year and has the double spiritual roots of wood and fire. I want to send him to Xianyemen to see if he can be an apprentice in alchemy. To be honest, I don't want to leave Da Yongcheng. If I leave, the child will lose his chance."
Qin Di asked: "When will Xianyemen recruit disciples?"
"They open a sect every three years and there will be a chance in March next year."
"What kind of wood, fire and spiritual roots are this child?"
"His wood spirit root is relatively poor, and the fire spirit root is a third-grade. If he is lucky, he may be able to enter the Xianyemen Alchemy Hall."
"You said that a family of four is not your little grandson, who else can you?"
"My son is helping a Yuanying True Lord protect the spirit grass in Xianye Palace; his wife goes to another shop to work and barely earns some spiritual stones to make a living."
"What are the realm of both of them?"
"My son is the fifth level of Jindan, and his wife is the first level of Jindan."
"Since your husband is an alchemist, why don't you teach your son to refine alchemy?"
"Because my son mainly uses wood spirit roots, in the Immortal Leaf Sect, there are many experts with wood spirit roots, and he cannot get involved in alchemy with such qualifications. My old man, like my grandson, mainly uses fire spirit roots. Although he is not very skilled, he luckily became an alchemist."
Qin Di nodded, and he understood in his heart.
There are many ways to refine alchemy, with the lowest difficulty of fire refining. Other methods include water refining, wood refining, gold refining, and earth refining. Although Xianyemen is a sect mainly based on the wood system, it also recruits fire-based alchemy apprenticeships. It is estimated that Xianyemen lacks the fire-based Hedao True Lord, and there are no fire-based earth immortals, so they cannot carry forward the alchemy hall.
He said, "Okay, just as you said, call your daughter-in-law back, and I will ask you to be clerks. If both parties can get along, maybe I can help you raise this child in the future."
"Ah? If so, that would be great! Atai, hurry up and bow to the sir!"
After some understanding, Qin Di learned that the gray-haired woman was named "Zheng Jingtong", 600 years old this year, and is in the seventh level of the golden elixir; her son was named "Luo Jinggang", 280 years old this year; his wife was named "Zhang Min", 275 years old; his grandson was named "Luo Tai", and he was only 12 years old.
This store is quite large. There is a store in front, an alchemy room behind, and a place to store spiritual herbs. If it is transferred normally, 1,500 immortal stones are required.
There is a fire vein under the alchemy room, which was specially drawn by a master from the Xianye Sect. According to Zheng Jingtong, in order to attract this fire vein, the family paid 400 immortal stones!
Qin Di looked at the fire meridians and felt that it was not satisfactory. The earth fire was not pure enough and it was difficult to refine advanced elixirs.
However, before he ascended, he selected a middle-grade spiritual fire from Kunlun Palace, which could place the spiritual fire above the fire vein. With the help of the power of the fire vein, he could improve the level of the spiritual fire while refining elixirs.
There is also an alchemy furnace in the alchemy room, which is not a spiritual treasure, but a sixth-level spiritual weapon.
Qin Di lifted it off the fire vein and placed it in the corner of the alchemy room: "Don't sell this alchemy furnace, it's useful to keep it."
Zheng Jingtong nodded and said, "I dare not sell it. I spent a lot of fairy stones to buy a elixir. The elixir is different from other magical instruments and is very rare in the Dayong Kingdom."
Qin Di took out a seventh-level spiritual treasure elixir and placed it on the fire vein. This elixir was also obtained from Kunlun Palace.
Zheng Jingtong couldn't see through the level of the Dan Furnace. Seeing that it was red in color and had a simple appearance, she thought it was Qin Di's guy who was eating, so she couldn't help but feel respectful.
Qin Di opened his mouth and spit out the middle-grade spiritual fire of the heavenly level. The spiritual fire fell into the fire veins and jumped happily.
Qin Di casually said the names of more than 20 spiritual herbs, then took out a hundred immortal stones and asked Zheng Jingtong to buy them outside.
Zheng Jingtong said: "Sir, I have most of the spiritual herbs in my family. There is only one kind of spiritual herbs of the 5,000-year-old monster, and the inner elixir of the 2,000-year-old monster. I need to buy it outside and I can't use so many immortal stones."
Qin Di said: "Buy more and get it back for later."
It took only one hour for Zheng Jingtong to prepare the required materials.
Qin Di packed up the spiritual herbs and prepared to open the furnace to refine the alchemy.
Zheng Jingtong didn't dare to stay indoors, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Qin Di said: "If you want to see it, you can call Atai and watch it from the side."
Zheng Jingtong was very surprised: "Sir, when my old man was refining the alchemy, he didn't allow me to stay in the alchemy room. He said that women belong to Yin and would change the pure yang energy of the alchemy!"
Qin Di laughed and said, "He is talking nonsense! Since I asked you to be a clerk, I am not afraid of you staying to watch. If it were an outsider, I wouldn't let them in."
Zheng Jingtong was very grateful and quickly called her grandson Luo Tai in and stared at her.
