"I don't mind, but the inn is full right now." Yang Di spread his hands and smiled.
This is not a lie. In fact, even before they arrived, the inn in Black Dragon City was almost full. These are extraordinary times, and the number of ghosts and monsters coming to Black Dragon City is greater than before.
They can have a place to live thanks to you, that girl Jiang Tingting, who prepared it in advance. Otherwise, they would have to live in the open like many people who come to the city now.
"It doesn't matter. There are a few ruins around. I can just find a nest anywhere, little old man." The old man looked very carefree and didn't mind that.
"Okay." Yang Di naturally would not object.
Today's Black Dragon City is too old, and some of the ancient buildings in the city have long since collapsed and dilapidated. They are even shabbier than the earth-tile houses in Yang Di's previous home. They are difficult to protect from wind and rain, and no one takes care of them.
In a place like that, if it were in the outside world, even homeless people would not dare to live there. It would be common if they woke up and were buried.
But the master in front of him obviously doesn't care about this. This is in line with the demeanor of an expert outside the world. He doesn't care about that kind of food, clothing, housing and transportation at all.
After making an agreement, Old Man Chao continued to set up a stall here, while Yang Di and the others continued shopping and would meet at the inn in the evening.
At the end of the day, Yang Di and the others were like grocery buyers, purchasing a large number of various things needed for cultivation.
After buying his own needs, Yang Di took out a purchase list prepared by Ye Shenyu, took the girl and the others to scan the goods, and the elixirs flowed like water.
Fortunately, he was prepared in advance and did not use the bargaining chip of Yang Di's main plan.
Everywhere I went, the merchants who were doing business with the monks were very polite, smiling like a chrysanthemum hanging on their faces.
This master is indeed a master of alchemy, with a very strong purchasing power. He is a big fat sheep in the eyes of shop owners. Wherever Yang Di and the others go, they are always treated with hospitality.
Previously, some people with ulterior motives tried to call on the monks in the city to jointly resist someone's elixir.
That received a response from a large number of people, but when the trading event began, the expected scene of being ostracized and targeted did not appear. Many shop owners, stall owners, and even eagerly expected someone to come.
In fact, discerning people have already noticed that those who responded to the call before were all legendary poor monks. They wanted to use this kind of action to buy more pills with their tight pockets, so they followed suit.
But this trick was very difficult to use among rich monks, especially merchants. At that time, they reacted indifferently. Now that the trading event has begun, they have turned a deaf ear to it and ignored it at all. They don't want this master to come to do business.
Some even stopped people on the street to solicit business after getting the news.
No matter what kind of business they are doing, businessmen are only motivated by profit. That kind of behavior is obviously incompatible with money and is self-defeating. It is also reasonable.
In the evening, Yang Di returned home with a full load and fled back to the inn in a bit of embarrassment.
After his identity was exposed before, as expected, wherever he went, he was surrounded by people, just like a rare giant panda.
Sometimes, it even directly causes street congestion. This scene is beautiful, but it is actually quite frustrating.
"Giggle!"
Seeing someone sitting down and pouring tea, Jiang Tingting smiled broadly, as if she had expected this outcome.
"Don't be complacent. If I had known, I would have taken you shopping." Yang Di said with a black face. No wonder this girl said before that she wanted to meet friends in this ancient city alone. It turned out that she had already guessed that he would make the scene chaotic, so
Reject companionship.
"If you feel that you can't stand it, you can teach me the alchemy skills. Although you are very young, I don't feel forced to call you master." Jiang Tingting said half-jokingly.
Jiang Fu on the side, and veteran Jiang Huangfei upstairs who was resting with his eyes closed, all had small expectations. Although they knew it was impossible, they still had wild imaginations.
An alchemist needs a strong soul, but just as it happens, the jewel of their family is considered to have a very powerful soul as soon as he makes a move.
If this young man is willing to teach, then it is really possible that another alchemist will appear. In that case, the entire Jiang family, young and old, will be blessed.
"I think it's better to forget it. Your fiancé and I are sworn enemies. This is a way of raising the stakes." Naturally, Yang Di didn't take it seriously and couldn't agree, so he joked.
"He is him and I am me." Jiang Tingting smiled faintly. In her words, when she mentioned Ji Yifeng, there was obviously not much affection.
Jiang Fu and Jiang Huangfei upstairs could only smile bitterly. This marriage was indeed a little too reckless at first.
However, the Jiang family did not expect that this girl, who was not yet born at that time, would later have such amazing talents and physique.
At that time, Ji Yifeng of the Ji family, although young, had already emerged. Many people thought he was a potential junior, but they never expected that Ji Yifeng would not be as outstanding as everyone expected, but his character and will were not as outstanding as everyone expected.
It was also quite disappointing to the top management of the Jiang family...
"I received three copies of the Precious Blood of Alien Beasts today. My dear, please take a look at the chips I gave you. Are they suitable?"
Old Man Guixi came over and handed a list to Yang Di for reading. Yang Di had gone out before, but the purchase of precious blood had not stopped, so Old Man Guixi and Mr. Yi were left to guard here.
These two elders have been with Yang Di for so long, and they are familiar with his prices and elixir reserves, as well as the elixirs that can be refined at present, so it is not difficult to take charge of this matter.
Yang Di just glanced at it briefly, nodded and said with a smile: "It's very appropriate. I'll inform them later to trade. If they need to be refined separately, let's also agree on a time."
"Okay." Mr. Yi went out and contacted those people. Before, they had only negotiated the deal, but the transaction had not yet been formalized.
Not long after, the bad old man who ran the street stall during the day also came in, took a few glances, and sat down at Yang Di's table.
Jiang Fu and Jiang Tingting were both a little serious. The old man was plainly dressed and even a little dirty, but he was by no means an ordinary person.
As monks, they naturally would not judge people by their appearance, so Jiang Fu told his waiters to entertain them well and not to neglect them.
At this time, dinner was about to begin, and the dishes from the kitchen were served one after another.
In this isolated place, everyone ate a lot of strange "game". In fact, they were exotic animals hunted from deep overseas.
Although this kind of behavior is quite risky and the casualty rate is extremely high, there are still monks and natives engaged in this business.
After the prey is brought back, the blood, bones, and fur are all of great use to the monks, and a lot of the meat on the body is also delicacies, and most of them still have spirituality left. When cooked with a few elixirs, it is the delicacy of the monks.
Dishes.
Of course, this thing is also quite expensive.
"Wow! Colorful elk, porcupine, saber-toothed tiger, are these all rare and exotic animals?" Ning Yunzhu looked at the menu and drooled. She had eaten too much of all kinds of expensive delicacies, but this legendary
This was the first time I saw something on the dining table.
"It's not a rare treasure, it can only be regarded as a low-level exotic beast. It's too powerful a target to be hunted down." Jiang Fu said with a smile.
Nowadays, those beasts have retreated into the depths of the sea and only appear occasionally. Sometimes a group of people may go out and return empty-handed.
"These dishes, as well as the accommodation fees for these few days, please don't run away when you leave." Jiang Tingting said with a serious smile.
"Aren't you a treat, Miss?" Yang Di was speechless.
"What a beautiful thought, even we ourselves would not always eat so well, and someone is a wealthy person, how dare he take advantage of it?" Jiang Tingting rolled her eyes.
Yang Di's face turned dark. No wonder the tables of the nearby monks living in the hotel only had one or two exotic animal dishes at most, and some didn't have them at all. But they had dozens of dishes on half the table.
After a long time of fussing, the wool is still coming from the sheep. That girl was so rude. She definitely ordered so many on purpose.
"Eat, eat, sell me here to wash dishes later." Yang Di also joked, although it was a bit dark, but he would not fall out because of it.
"As a fellow Taoist, if I ask you to stay and wash dishes, our building will probably be demolished." Shopkeeper Jiang Fu teased.
"Haha!" Everyone laughed.
During the dinner, Yang Di and the bad old man didn't talk about the bone.
In fact, it's not a secret. With the influence of the Jiang family here, you can find out what someone does during the day with just a little inquiry.
To be honest, even Jiang Tingting and the others are very curious about that black bone right now.
After the meal, the bad old man was not careful and took it out again for everyone to observe and analyze.
But the result was still the same. Neither Jiang Tingting nor Jiang Huangfei, the elder of the Jiang family, could recognize what it was.
After the people dispersed, the old man also left. Before leaving, he left the bone temporarily for Yang Di to study. In fact, the old man spent the night in a nearby ruins and was very good at it.
At night, Yang Di stayed in the room and began to study the bone very carefully. The thing was so dark that from the outline, it was impossible to tell which part of it came from a strange beast.
Under the guidance of Yi Qilu Ancestor, Yang Di tried many methods, but there was no response.
Later, some Yiqi furnaces who were unhappy even suggested that Yang Di put them in the purple gold furnace and refine them with the innate true fire.
To be honest, Yang Di had this idea a long time ago. As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire. What kind of moth is it? If it is refined with real fire in a treasure furnace, its original shape should be revealed.
But Yang Di was a little hesitant and said: "Then the bad old man won't fight with me later, right?"
After all, this thing is not his yet, and if it is damaged, compensation is a trivial matter. Whether he is happy with it or not is the key.
"Stupid! The old man knew that you were an alchemist and kept the bones. How could he not have expected that you would do this? This was obviously his tacit approval." Yi Qilu said angrily.
"That's right." Yang Di thought about the same truth. The old man was so clever, and he must have expected that ordinary methods would be useless, so he hoped that he, a master of alchemy, would try the method of an alchemist.
"But does he know that I carry the Innate True Fire? In addition, can this thing really withstand being calcined by the Innate True Fire?" After thinking about it, Yang Di was still a little worried.
Regarding these two questions, it was obvious that even Yi Qilu didn't know how to respond, leaving him to choose on his own.
"Forget it, if it's really broken, it's probably not a good thing. I'll just let the old man kill it later."
Yang Di took a deep breath and took out the purple gold furnace. He felt itchy and uncomfortable if he didn't understand this thing.
