Shen Yueniang's attitude made Wu Sheng feel uncomfortable, and he was also thinking in his heart, could he have offended her? It shouldn't be, this is the first time they have met, right? Or, maybe she has this temperament to begin with?
It's hard to guess a woman's mind, and he didn't have time to guess. His purpose was to learn the refining method of the Longevity Pill, to see if he could master this rare craft, and to prepare "eating food" for his extremely hungry Qi Hai. "It doesn't matter much whether Shen Yueniang has a good or bad opinion of him.
Well, Wu Sheng still admitted in his heart that this girl looked quite attractive, but after rolling his eyes, he basically stopped thinking about it. He was not a person who puts a hot face on a cold butt.
Jin Wuhuan also saw a clue, and asked his wife doubtfully: "Yue Niang doesn't like Brother Wu? Brother Wu is a talented person, handsome, almost as good as me, and in terms of character..."
Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him: "Is your husband very handsome? It's hard to say how I look, but the way my husband walks is impressive."
Jin Wuhuan quickly stopped jumping and changed his steps twice: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me."
Mrs. Shen then had no choice but to explain: "Yue Niang is someone who can't hide her thoughts. She puts her likes and dislikes directly into her heart. She doesn't say bad words to her. She has already restrained herself. She is not willing to bring strangers with her."
Jin Wuhuan hurriedly asked: "You didn't reveal Brother Wu's identity, did you?"
Madam Shen said: "Of course not, that's why Yueniang is even more displeased. I don't blame Yueniang, I'm afraid no one else would be happy."
Privately refining and taking longevity elixirs are strictly forbidden by Jixia Academy. It would definitely be a taboo to bring a stranger into the process. If Jin Wuhuan hadn't vowed to do so, it would have been impossible for Wu Sheng to expose the informer, and he couldn't do it without him if he wanted to make elixirs. , Yueniang will definitely not agree.
Jin Wuhuan was helpless, but it was difficult to mention this to Wu Sheng. If he said it, he would inevitably have the intention of driving him away, so he could only speak vaguely and blame it on Yueniang's temperament.
From Jieshou Mountain to Pingyu, the four of them hurried on their way and walked for a whole day before finally arriving.
Pingyu is a small city under the jurisdiction of Cai State. The wanted notice of Wu Sheng from Chu State was not seen at the city gate. Although the unreliable portrait on the notice would be useless if hung, the pressure on Wu Sheng's head was still there. Greatly reduced.
As for the reward from Jixia Academy, it is only circulated in the cultivation world, and Wu Sheng has not seen it so far.
This feels good.
A small town with less than a thousand households, it was just a cross street. Although the Shen family was destroyed, its heritage was still there. It was considered the largest clan in Pingyu, and its spacious house occupied a quarter of Pingyu City.
With the passing of her father, Mrs. Shen's branch had already been separated, but according to the genealogy, Jin Wuhuan still enjoyed the treatment of an uncle and lived in a double courtyard in the southeast.
Mrs. Shen slowly walked around the courtyard for a long time, stroking a laurel tree in the corner of the courtyard, sat back on the stone bench in the corridor, and said softly: "I haven't been back for a long time..."
Jin Wuhuan took his wife's hand and sat with her for a long time, relatively speechless.
Wu Sheng found a room to settle down, took a look around, and asked Jin Wuhuan: "Look at the rules of this house, the Shen family is quite impressive, why do you need me to pay for it?"
Jin Wuhuan said: "It's big on the outside but weak on the inside. It's just an appearance. Marquis Cai didn't allow the Shen family to manage the fields, mountains, forests, and rivers. They sat there for thirty years. In fact, they were already in trouble. They could barely maintain their dignity. At that time, my father-in-law prayed for longevity. Dan, the Shen clan tried its best to help, hoping to become a high-level cultivator in the realm of refining gods, but the longevity pill was refined, and the life span was also increased. However, the retreat did not break through, and people left. It was a waste of time. There were huge complaints among the clan, so my wife ran away angrily. Now that she is back, she actually means to make amends."
Wu Sheng nodded, that's it, and asked: "How much gold is needed to refine the longevity pill?"
Jin Wuhuan subconsciously looked around and told Wu Sheng: "Our people say that the longevity pill is good, but here, there is no such thing as the longevity pill. What we need to refine is the Qingling Pill, which can calm the mind and help people overcome difficulties. Only
That’s all.”
Wu Sheng smiled: "I understand."
Jin Wuhuan said: "Refining a Green Spirit Pill requires two main herbs and thirteen auxiliary herbs. Each preparation costs about six or seven thousand coins. When refining, three ingredients can produce one pill.
Even if you have excellent luck, you often have to prepare five or six copies to be sure. One pill can cost as little as 20,000 yuan and as much as 30,000 or 40,000 yuan."
This is enough money for ten years of living expenses for an ordinary family of five. If converted into magical artifacts, it can be used as dozens of low-grade magical artifacts, more than a dozen medium-grade magical artifacts, or two to three high-grade magical artifacts.
No wonder Jin Wuhuan went bankrupt and came here with four pieces of gold to refine a longevity pill, but he was still far from it.
The bounty offered by the State of Chu and Jixia Academy for the assassin Wu Sheng was a total of twenty yi gold, equivalent to 20,000 yuan. Even a so-called "Qingling Pill" was not enough.
But as long as a cultivator in the realm of refining gods emerges, the expenses will be guaranteed. If one can cultivate in the realm of returning to the virtual world, it will be a huge profit. Therefore, the world is flocking to this, but it is a pity that the longevity elixir is controlled by Jixiaxue.
In the hands of the palace, the number of elixirs produced every year is limited, and you cannot buy it with money alone. Whether you give it to someone or not depends on the face of Jixia Academy.
Wu Sheng judged with a villain's mind and became more and more certain that the reason why Jixia Academy dealt with Mu Taoist had a lot to do with this.
Although the cost of money is high, in Wu Sheng's view, it is not a big deal. After it is made, it will be doubled and the longevity pill market will be promising!
But Jin Wuhuan once again undermined his confidence: "How can it be that easy? The two main herbs, Turmeric Ganoderma and Evergreen Green Feather, are rare in the world, and they are both elixirs that are prohibited from harvesting by Jixia Academy.
All countries have to turn over whatever they produce. It is not easy to find them, and there are huge risks. Even if you are lucky enough to refine one or two, they are kept for the emergencies of your family or close relatives. How can you sell them?
"
Well, Wu Sheng had nothing to say, so he had to suppress his eagerness to take the pill and see how to refine the pill first.
"When will you start making alchemy?"
"The Shen family has collected two main ingredients and is now purchasing the remaining auxiliary ingredients. There are three auxiliary ingredients among them. My wife has already gone out to buy them. Just wait a few days."
The elixir was extremely precious, so Jin Wuhuan would certainly have some reservations. Three of the key auxiliary medicines among the thirteen flavors would not be told to Mrs. Shen, and only Mrs. Shen was asked to find them. Mrs. Shen would not be stupid enough to tell anyone.
tribesmen.
As for Wu Sheng and Jin Wuhuan, there is no need to hide it. The friendship between the two is a matter of life and death, so is there any need to hide it?
"Brother Wu, to be honest, I was not sure when I came to Pingyu to make elixirs. Although I made elixirs with my teacher at that time, I only remembered the amounts of two main ingredients. I never knew how much the rest of the auxiliary ingredients were. Please ask me this time.
When Brother Wu comes over, you and I need to go over the details together."
Wu Sheng thought for a while and asked: "Analysis of Longevity Pill...Okay, Qingling Pill, what are your regulations?"
Thank you for the twilight candy, the rogue Dazzling for the large reward, and kowtow! Thank you Brother Hei, for listening to your jokes, Taoist Priest Tianming, Cloudman, Shu Chibuyan, and Xin Xitang for the reward. Thank you fellow Taoists for your monthly tickets and recommended votes.
