Ten years of salary were spent in one move. Gu Changsheng didn't feel bad, but felt that this trip to Lingyung Pavilion was very fruitful!
However, after purchasing this batch of things, although Gu Changsheng did not go bankrupt, he became impoverished again.
Although he still has more than thirty pieces of mid-level spiritual stones, they are consumables used for martial arts to supplement spiritual energy, and he will not spend them on low-level spiritual stones unless absolutely necessary.
After paying the bill, Gu Changsheng turned around and left, but saw a disciple hurriedly ran to him at the entrance of the corridor and said:
"Senior Gu, Elder Qu from our alchemy room would like to invite you to come and sit for a while. I wonder if you can give me a favor?"
"Lead the way." Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment and agreed.
Then, under the leadership of that disciple, Gu Changsheng went up to the fourth floor and entered an elegant tea room.
In front of the tea table, in addition to Qu Hanxue, who was sitting in the main seat, there was also a young man in blue sitting opposite, who was calmly picking up a cup of hot tea and sipping it carefully.
When this person saw Gu Changsheng walking in, he did not put down the cup in his hand, but just glanced at it with his peripheral vision.
"Elder Qu, Senior Gu is here!" As soon as the disciples in the alchemy room entered the room, they said respectfully to Qu Hanxue.
Gu Changsheng also glanced at the young man. He was in the early stage of foundation building. His appearance was neither handsome nor ordinary. He seemed to be an ordinary inner disciple of a certain ancestor.
It's just that this person had a cold expression and was rather arrogant in his behavior, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
So Gu Changsheng didn't put on a good face and sat down next to Qu Hanxue. He glanced at the fragrant tea in front of him calmly, showing no intention of drinking it.
Seeing Gu Changsheng's attitude, the young man just smiled and continued to sip the fragrant tea in his hand.
"Junior Brother Gu! This is Shen Wenrui, a disciple of the Ancestor of Fire Cloud Peak Chi Yan, and a master of elixir making." Qu Hanxue didn't care about the reactions of the two people, but introduced Gu Changsheng to Gu Changsheng enthusiastically, his face still expressionless.
With his elegant smile, one cannot see through his thoughts.
Both of them just nodded, indicating that they understood, and then returned to their state of ignoring each other.
"We monks who like to make alchemy will have some strange tempers. Please forgive me, Junior Brother Gu! I took the liberty to invite you here this time to talk to you about the channels for elixirs."
"I once heard Pavilion Master Pei say that Junior Brother Gu's family has branches in many places in the Tang Dynasty, and the elixir business is very big. I wonder if you can help Lingyun Pavilion find the elixirs it needs?"
Qu Hanxue showed a smile and said warmly.
Gu Changsheng's identity is no longer a secret in Jiuxiao Sect. The reason why he asked about the elixir today is because he behaved so arrogantly today.
Ordinary cultivating families will definitely not be able to obtain old elixirs, but cultivating families with a large amount of resources have many channels to exchange for these rare items.
Moreover, Gu Changsheng suddenly behaves like a nouveau riche, which really makes people wonder.
"In the past few decades, good old elixirs have become increasingly difficult to buy. Even if you spend a large amount of spiritual stones, you can't buy a thousand-year-old elixir. The masters in the sect are very interested in elixirs.
"
"I also hope that Junior Brother Gu can help me with this and find another big customer for your Gu family's elixir business!"
Qu Hanxue was very sincere when he said these words. After hearing this, the coldness on Gu Changsheng's face slowly disappeared.
In fact, Gu Changsheng had various thoughts mixed together in his mind at this time, and he was carefully weighing the pros and cons.
Jiuxiao Sect is not a large sect, and it is understandable that it lacks a stable source of elixirs.
In the past, he followed Uncle Wang when he went to the market outside to purchase items. He often heard Uncle Wang complaining that he could not find old elixirs and would be scolded when he returned.
Moreover, he really wanted to ask Qu Hanxue something clearly, so he might as well take this opportunity to give the other party a hope and then extract the other party's answer.
As for the fact that he couldn't find the elixir in the end, he could just blame it on the Gu family. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng looked up at Qu Hanxue and said calmly:
"Our Gu family has indeed obtained several stable exchange channels recently, and we can find some elixirs that are five or six hundred years old. As for those that are a thousand years old, it depends on the chance. I can help ask about Senior Brother Qu, but it depends on whether it is successful or not.
It depends on what the family wants."
Qu Hanxue looked happy when he heard that Gu Changsheng agreed to help with the matchmaking.
Even Shen Wenrui, who had been drinking tea with a cold face, as if he was superior, couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Gu Changsheng, looking greatly surprised.
Gu Changsheng smiled slightly and said casually: "Senior Brother Qu, I also have a small matter that I would like to ask you for advice."
"Junior Brother Gu, you don't have to be polite, I promise to tell you everything I know!" Qu Hanxue readily agreed.
Gu Changsheng stared into Qu Hanxue's eyes and asked calmly: "I want to know why the Foundation Establishment Pill I took back then contained a Fire Qi Pill!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tea room was so quiet that one could hear it. Even Qu Hanxue stopped smiling and looked into Gu Changsheng's eyes with a solemn expression.
Gu Changsheng knew that this matter involved a huge amount of money. He was the only one who went crazy while building the foundation, but at the same time, dozens of monks died due to failed foundation building! Is this a coincidence?
These foundation-building pills were made by Qu Hanxue, and this matter is inseparable from him.
"Junior Brother Gu, have you checked whether your Foundation Establishment Pill has been swapped?" Qu Hanxue slowly withdrew his gaze and said calmly. But besides speaking, he glanced at Shen Wenrui a little strangely.
"Swapping the package? I remember that there were rumors that there were thieves invading and plundering the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Pill. I have never heard of such a thing as dropping the Foundation Establishment Pill!" This answer obviously made Gu Changsheng feel strange.
They are all hidden in the most secret places, how could they be dropped by others.
"There were very few monks who succeeded in building the foundation back then, and most of them had accidents! The sect sent your master, Patriarch Yunqing, to investigate the cause and came to two conclusions."
"First, there is a problem with the medicinal materials themselves. Many of the batches of 'Chalcedony Mushroom' we bought were produced on the edge of the 'Hundred Poison Swamp', and were passed off as inferior and mixed into the elixir, resulting in the batch of foundation-building
Dan is somewhat toxic."
"Secondly, someone in the sect secretly exchanged the Foundation Establishment Pills in the hands of some people. As far as I know, four or five people were affected. One of them had the Foundation Establishment Pills of Junior Brother 'Wind Spirit Root' and was replaced by someone.
Found the Foundation Building Pill with 'Golden Thunder Powder' wrapped inside."
"As for why it was changed? Who did it? What was the purpose? In the end, it was not found out because no direct evidence could be found. If you don't believe it, you can visit your former master Yun Qing and ask him directly.
clear."
Qu Hanxue spoke for a long paragraph in one breath, without any hesitation or pause in the middle, and seemed to be full of sincerity.
After Gu Changsheng heard this, he began to think about it secretly, and the tea room became quiet again.
Shen Ruiwen, who was sitting in a normal position, saw Gu Changsheng deep in thought. He gently shook the tea cup with his fingernails and some powder fell into it.
Soon, a faint scent of pear floated in the air.
Gu Changsheng was shocked when he smelled the smell, and couldn't help but frown and look at the two of them.
"The nymphomaniac is gone!"
This is a kind of intoxicating poison that turns into mist when exposed to heat. It is often mixed in dishes, tea or soup, and can enchant the mind.
Gu Changsheng's heart froze, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Then Gu Changsheng shook his repair robe, and a green ball appeared in his hand. This was the 'Stinky Dew' he had created recently.
I saw the small ball flying into the air, and with a "pop", the ball exploded in the air, releasing a large piece of light blue smoke that quickly spread in the middle of the tea room.
A shield appeared on the three of them almost at the same time, and then the smoke began to change colors in the air, from green to yellow, from yellow to green, then to blue, and finally suddenly turned into a large ball of black gas.
"It stinks, what are you two boys doing?" Qu Hanxue stood up, covered his nose in fright, and asked loudly.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Gu is also a master of poison! Senior Brother Qu, I'll take my leave first!" Before leaving, Shen Wenrui looked at Gu Changsheng with a hint of admiration, turned around and turned into a ray of green light, directly
He ran out of the tea room.
Gu Changsheng still had the same cold expression, but when he saw that the other party actually seemed to approve of him, he was slightly startled. The next second, he understood and left without saying goodbye.
Mixing 'Huali San' and 'Smelly Dew' will restrain each other and lose their toxicity, but the smell of the mixture is extremely unpleasant and lingers for a long time.
"You brat! Come back here..."
Qu Hanxue pinched his nose, completely losing his original elegant and calm Confucian attitude, and ran out of the tea room with an angry look on his face.
