A faint yellow light was projected in. Yang Ji walked into the yellow light, and his shadow was cast on the ground, making the old man grow taller. The octagonal building gave people a very quiet and gentle feeling, which was different from the bustle in the Wanguan Building.
The look is completely different.
"interesting."
Yang Ji looked around with interest.
This octagonal building is an extension of the Wanguan Building, but it is completely different from the Wanguan Building. From here, you can get a glimpse of another side of the Wanguan Building.
"The image of Wan Guan Tower is too large, mysterious, majestic, and full of rules. It is really a clever technique to supplement it with this humane octagonal tower."
"However, Wanguan Tower is indeed intentional. This place is actually not far away, but not many people know that this is a part of Wanguan Tower. Everyone thinks that Wanguan Tower happens once every three months, except for those three months
It doesn’t operate. Even Luo Shanghao probably doesn’t know about it.”
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Yang Ji also stored a hundred barrels of Saracen kerosene here, but the purpose of Yang Ji's visit this time was not the 100 barrels of Saracen kerosene, but the cockscomb bloodstone.
"Hahaha, Brother Yang, long time no see!"
While Yang Ji was waiting, a burst of familiar hearty laughter came. Yang Ji turned his head and saw a green door curtain not far away, and a figure walked out from behind the door curtain.
Wearing a long cyan robe, elegant style, a confident smile, and holding a folding fan in his hand, he was none other than Liu Xiyuan, who had met once in Wanguanlou.
Different from those in Wan Guan Tower, Liu Xiyuan was dressed in casual clothes at this time, which was in sharp contrast to the power in Wan Guan Tower. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he was just some wealthy and noble gentry with some influence in Taiyuanzhou Mansion.
"Brother Yang, it's really not easy to find traces of you in this continent!"
Liu Xiyuan waved his folding fan gently. He laughed and walked toward Yang Ji surrounded by two pretty maids.
"Brother Liu, you are so lucky."
Yang Ji looked at Liu Xiyuan and his eyes flashed.
"Hey, if Brother Yang is interested, why not give these two maids to Brother Yang?"
Liu Xiyuan shook his folding fan and said with a half-smile.
"A gentleman doesn't take away someone's love, so Brother Liu should keep it."
Yang Ji said calmly.
It's just a conversation, he doesn't have such a hobby.
"Haha, Brother Yang, are you here to collect the one hundred barrels of Saracen kerosene?"
Liu Xiyuan didn't force himself and said with a smile.
"That's not true."
Yang Ji shook his head:
"Brother Liu promised to help me get some cockscomb blood stones last time. Of course, they are the Double Ninth Stone you mentioned. I wonder what happened?"
"Haha, it turns out that's what happened. It's a trivial matter."
Liu Xiyuan looked at Yang Ji. His face was as expected, "Bring it up!"
Snap!
Liu Xiyuan clapped his hands twice, and soon two strong men came up carrying a silver plate.
"I don't know how much Brother Yang needs, so I took the initiative and got thirty kilograms of Double Ninth Stone for Yang Ji. There are eight Star Pills in total, what do you think?"
Liu Xiyuan said.
"Eight?"
Yang Ji's brows twitched and he was greatly surprised. He spent more than forty pieces on the iron tree demon core. He thought that the Double Ninth Stone would not be cheap, but he didn't expect that he only spent eight pieces.
"If Brother Yang thinks it's too much, we can talk to the businessman and ask him to lower the price."
Liu Xiyuan observed his words and thought that Yang Ji was too much.
"No, no need!"
Yang Ji quickly came back to his senses. Liu Xiyuan's words really surprised him. The Cockscomb Blood Stone was listed in the ancient "Alchemy Guide". It was as cheap as ordinary medicinal materials, but it could still be negotiated.
"Haha, brother Yang, don't feel embarrassed. We can do this for you."
Liu Xiyuan said.
Yang Ji just shook his head and glanced at Liu Xiyuan. At this moment, he had some ideas in his mind. However, they were not needed for the time being.
"Okay. Brother Yang, let's inspect the goods."
Liu Xiyuan turned his head and glanced at the strong man, and gave him a wink. The strong man understood and handed the silver tray to Yang Ji.
"call!"
Yang Ji didn't refuse. He held the handle of the tray lid and lifted it hard. A flash of red light came from under the silver lid.
Liu Xiyuan is right, the thing called the Double Ninth Stone in this era is indeed the cockscomb blood stone in the "Alchemy Illustrated Book".
Each of these Double Ninth Stones is like a chicken, but much larger than the chicken, and the shape is very regular.
"So hot!"
Yang Ji touched it with his hand and immediately felt a fiery heat coming out of his palm. These Double Ninth Stones contain the majestic Yang Qi, which is exactly what is needed for the Pure Demon Subduing Pill.
Some of the medicines in the Pure Demon Subduing Pill are extremely cold in nature and need to be neutralized by this medicine. Moreover, the cockscomb bloodstone itself is a rich material for the medicine, which can increase the effectiveness of the medicine.
"The last medicinal ingredients have finally been gathered together. Now, we can finally refine the pure demon-suppressing elixir."
Yang Ji felt relieved.
The matter of treating the young master of Dihuoshuo Village has been full of twists and turns, and has always been unsatisfactory. Now it has finally reached a point where it is almost complete.
As long as I have this cockscomb blood stone, I can settle this matter and let this matter come to an end.
"Brother Yang likes to make alchemy very much?"
A soft voice with a tentative tone suddenly came from the side.
Yang Ji was shocked. He turned around and saw Liu Xiyuan's peeping eyes. In an instant, Yang Ji felt a warning sign in his heart.
This person is spying on himself all the time.
Yang Ji knew that his addiction just now had aroused Liu Xiyuan's suspicion and allowed him to see a lot of clues. There were definitely not many people in Dan Dao, and even fewer in Taiyuanzhou Mansion.
As long as you are careful, you can definitely find out a lot of information by following this clue. At least, many people should know by now that I am making elixirs for the owner of Dihuoshan Villa.
"I occasionally dabble in it, but I'm not proficient in it. I just bought it for a friend."
Yang Ji said calmly.
"oh."
Liu Xiyuan withdrew his gaze, thoughtfully:
"Although the Double Ninth Stone has a strong yang energy, it is not unusual, and few people use this kind of thing to make elixirs in the alchemy world. If it weren't for Brother Yang, I really don't know that this kind of thing can make elixirs. I just don't know Brother Yang's
What kind of elixir does that friend use to make, so that I can learn more about it?"
Yang Ji felt a shiver in his heart. When he answered that he was buying for a friend, he was offending him again. This person who was beating around the bush was just trying to find out information about himself.
Fortunately, as long as he keeps his mouth shut and keeps his face low, no matter how treacherous, clever, or full of ideas the boss of Wan Guan Tower is, there is still nothing he can do without conclusive evidence.
Suspicion can only remain suspicion, and anyone may be the target of his suspicion.
"I don't know about this."
Yang Jidao.
"Haha, Brother Yang, don't be surprised. I asked one more question."
Liu Xiyuan immediately smiled, knowing that it had aroused Yang Ji's vigilance, so he laughed and did not ask any further questions.
"By the way, Brother Yang, I have sold the Iron Mother Cavalry last time for you. There are seven hundred Star Pills in total. After deducting the commission, there are 560 pills, all of which are on this card. The quantity is small.
It’s a bit off, Brother Yang, don’t blame me. If necessary, you can exchange it with us.”
Liu Xiyuan flicked his finger, and a silver card immediately shot towards Yang Ji like an arrow:
"The exchange is underground. As long as Yang Ji takes our card from Wanguan Tower, he can cash it in at any time."
"oh."
Yang Ji's eyes flashed. It seemed that Wan Guan Lou was a human being and elixirs were separated. Even if he was in charge, he didn't seem to have the right to mobilize Wan Guan Lou's elixirs.
"Okay, I know."
Yang Ji raised his palm and easily took the silver card in his hand.
The second Iron Mother Cavalry only sold 700 Star Pills. It was a bit regretful to say that. However, Yang Ji was not surprised. Things are rare and not everything can be sold at a sky-high price.
The first time the Iron Mother Cavalry was sold for such a high price was completely accidental. Not everyone can be like the people in the royal family and casually take out the Thousand Star Pills as they please.
"Brother Liu, thank you very much for this incident." Yang Ji accepted the card sincerely.
Although the guy in front of him inquired about his information from many sources, Yang Ji still had a good impression of him. Although he kept making small moves, this guy at least knew some boundaries and propriety.
And in some ways, it really works for me.
"Haha, why should you be so polite, Brother Yang? We are talking about business. We are not doing charity. We also received a lot of commission from this transaction. After all, we should be the ones thanking you."
Liu Xiyuan said. This was not a polite comment. Yang Ji was now his big client, and he didn't know how many people had died from envy. He himself also received a large commission from it because of the commission.
However, this has never been what Liu Xiyuan cared about. A steady flow of water is the way to go. If this relationship can be made into a steady stream of living water, that will be the greatest benefit.
He exchanged some pleasantries with Liu Xiyuan and agreed that if there was any value for rare things in the future, he would go to him. Yang Ji soon separated from Liu Xiyuan and walked underground.
Although the Octagonal Tower and the Wanguan Tower appear to be independent of each other, the underground has actually been dug out. Yang Ji was guided by the servants in the Octagonal Tower, wearing layers of curtains, and quickly entered the Octagonal Tower along a sloping downward walkway.
The ground floor of the building.
Although the above-ground part of the Octagonal Building seems to have few people, the underground part of the Octagonal Building is a different world. It is brightly lit, and a place similar to the Wanguanlou underground store is prosperous here.
Here, Yang Ji saw many people. There were the guards, servants, and maids from Wanguan Tower, as well as customers like himself. But there were far less manpower.
Yang Ji glanced at them and felt that they were mostly from aristocratic, distinguished, wealthy families, etc. Anyway, he didn't recognize any of them, so he didn't pay attention to them.
"Please get me three hundred Star Pills!"
Behind a narrow window sill, Yang Ji handed over the silver card Liu Xiyuan gave him.
Behind the blue roller curtain was an old man with a goatee and a goatee with a rigid expression, like a clay sculpture. When he heard that Yang Ji wanted to take three hundred pieces, his face rippled like wrinkles.
"OK, just a second."
The old man with a goatee took the silver card from Yang Ji and turned around. His voice was still indifferent, without any fluctuation. After a while, he disappeared inside. (To be continued...)
