Volume 1 Rebirth of Luoxia Chapter 46 Linglong Pill Furnace
The old Taoist rubbed his dirt-covered hands and said:
"There is something true about the old Taoist. Seeing that you two look blessed and noble, you must not be ordinary people, so I want to do business with you."
Lin Dongjiu glanced at him up and down. He saw that this old man was so poor that he had nothing to do. What kind of business could he do with him? He asked curiously:
"Don't blame me for being blunt. Business is all about resource exchange, but I see you don't have anything decent. How should you do this business?"
The old Taoist laughed loudly, pointed at him and said: "He is a straightforward person, and the old Taoist likes him."
Immediately afterwards, the old man dug into his crotch and took out a rusty alchemy furnace.
Lin Dongjiu was a little dumbfounded when he saw that the old Taoist's storage magic weapon was hidden in his crotch.
"My alchemy furnace is of extraordinary quality. It can be regarded as a treasure of alchemy. The two of you are alchemists. It can be said that a sword matches a hero. It is a perfect match."
The old Taoist placed the alchemy furnace on the ground and called out: "You two, come and palm your eyes!"
Lin Dongjiu also squatted down and looked at the alchemy furnace carefully.
I saw that this alchemy furnace was less than half the size of an ordinary alchemy furnace. The whole body of the alchemy furnace was covered with rust, as if it had just been dug up after being buried in the ground for a long time. Moreover, the furnace body was full of cracks. It must have been exploded more than once.
Lin Dongjiu stood up and joked:
"Old man, please forgive me for my blindness, but I really don't see how this alchemy furnace of yours has anything extraordinary about it. In my opinion, it would be better for you to sell it to a blacksmith shop, and maybe you can exchange it for some spiritual energy.
stone."
"Hey! Boy, you can eat this food randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
The old Taoist raised his nose high, blew his beard and stared:
"This alchemy furnace of mine is a rare treasure. You kid can't tell it. You can't say it's scrap metal. If I hadn't been wise, I would have been short of money to buy wine recently, so I wouldn't have sold it to you."
Lin Dongjiu shook his head. In his heart, he had already classified the old Taoist as a charlatan who is crazy about poverty. He wanted to drag Su Ruxue away without saying a word, but Su Ruxue did not move.
Lin Dongjiu turned around and saw Su Ruxue frozen there, with her mouth slightly open and her eyes staring straight at the pocket alchemy furnace.
He pushed Su Ruxue, but there was still no response. He thought that this old man could be so good at witchcraft that he actually fascinated Su Ruxue.
Lin Dongjiu was about to speak when Su Ruxue said, "Xiao Lin, this alchemy furnace... is extraordinary!"
"What's unusual?" Lin Dongjiu frowned.
Su Ruxue looked up at him with a solemn expression:
"I don't know exactly, but I can feel that this alchemy furnace is very spiritual, and I seem to feel that it wants to communicate with me."
Is it so evil... Lin Dongjiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that Fen Youhuo was very close to Su Ruxue, and the system also said that Su Ruxue was probably the chosen alchemist.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising if Su Ruxue could feel things that ordinary people can't.
"Haha, the little girl still has eyesight!"
The old Taoist praised it and said leisurely: "Let the old Taoist explain it to you. Otherwise, if you miss this great opportunity, I will feel sorry for you!"
The veteran coughed, cleared his throat and said:
"My alchemy furnace is called the Eight Treasures Exquisite Furnace. It can be big or small, and it is extremely light. Legend has it that it was an alchemy furnace once used by a great master of alchemy."
"Look at it!"
The old Taoist put his hand on the alchemy furnace, and heard him shout "big". The alchemy furnace seemed to have become a spirit. With the old man's command, it began to get bigger and bigger, and finally became a full three meters.
What a tall behemoth.
The old Taoist shouted "small" again, and the alchemy furnace began to become smaller, and finally it became only the size of a palm, and the old Taoist threw it around in his hand.
Lin Dongjiu was amazed, and his heart was filled with excitement. He had taken a liking to this alchemy furnace!
Moreover, even Su Ruxue said that this alchemy furnace has spirituality, which means that this alchemy furnace is a rare treasure, and you can definitely make a profit if you buy it!
"Young man, I made a mistake. I'll apologize to you first."
Lin Dongjiu was polite and asked tentatively:
"Looking at it now, there is no reason not to do this business. Master, please make an offer."
The old Taoist stretched out five fingers and poked them directly: "I want this number!"
Lin Dongjiu chuckled and said: "Five top-grade spiritual stones? It's easy to talk about..."
The old Taoist laughed and said rather dissatisfied:
"You are not a good boy. The number I mentioned is fifty high-grade spiritual stones!"
"Fifty!" Lin Dong's body trembled, and he almost didn't punch the veteran.
It's such a broken pill furnace. If it weren't for the fact that it could change in size anywhere, Lin Dongjiu wouldn't have even looked at it.
He seriously suspected that this old man knew that he had made a fortune just now, so he opened his mouth just to give him a hard blow.
He also knew that this alchemy furnace was a treasure, but he still couldn't accept fifty high-grade spiritual stones. He always felt that the old man was deceiving him.
But Su Ruxue nodded and said:
"Well... fifty high-grade spiritual stones are indeed not an exaggeration. If the quality of this alchemy furnace is better, the price can be even higher."
Lin Dongjiu suddenly wondered why this girl turned her elbows outward and actually spoke for an outsider. Could it be that it was not the old Taoist who knew magic, but the elixir furnace that turned her into a spirit and fascinated her?
"but..."
Su Ruxue changed her tone and said:
"But there is no lid on this alchemy furnace. How can you make elixirs without a lid?"
Lin Dongjiu took a look and saw that the alchemy furnace did not have a furnace cover on it.
His attention just now was all on making it bigger and smaller, and he really ignored this most important detail.
I have to say that this woman's heart is more thoughtful than that of a man. It seems that it is best to bring a female companion when going out from now on. Not only can it relieve boredom, but it can also prevent losses...
Lin Dongjiu thought to himself, and at the same time his eyes towards Lao Dao became unkind.
"Well...this..."
The old man blushed like a pot and kept stroking his beard, unable to hold back the next sentence.
Su Ruxue winked at Lin Dongjiu and said, "Xiao Lin, let's go!"
"Hey, wait!"
The old Taoist waved quickly: "You two, don't leave yet. I'll just sell it to you at a cheaper price."
Su Ruxue turned around and held out five fingers: "Five top-grade spiritual stones!"
The old Taoist's face suddenly turned green, and Lin Dongjiu also took a breath. This girl is a good hand when it comes to grocery shopping!
The old Taoist smacked his lips, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Although I don't have a lid, I know where the lid is."
"How about this, how about I sell you the information about the lid and the alchemy furnace together with fifty high-grade spiritual stones?"
Su Ruxue retracted two fingers and said with a straight face: "Thirty high-grade spiritual stones!"
The veteran gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"
Su Ruxue pushed Lin Dongjiu, "Give me the money."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Lin Dongjiu obediently gave the old Taoist thirty high-grade spiritual stones. After receiving the money, the old Taoist grinned like a chrysanthemum, which made him feel that it was too much.
The old Taoist poured the spiritual stones into his crotch, stroked his beard and said:
"The lid of this alchemy furnace is on Qifengpo, twenty miles away from the eastern suburbs of the city. When you go there, you can see a crooked-neck jujube tree. Dig about ten meters under the tree and you will be able to find it."
Su Ruxue frowned and said, "Isn't Qifengpo a place where dead people are buried? What do you mean, let us dig graves?"
The old Taoist looked around with a stern look, then lowered his voice and said:
"To tell you the truth, I did find this alchemy furnace from the tomb. I was in a hurry that day, so I thought the small alchemy furnace was just bottles and jars, so I collected them together. When I came back, I discovered that they were missing.
The lid was off, I probably left it somewhere in the tomb."
Lin Dongjiu asked: "Since you know that the lid is missing, why don't you go back and look for it?"
The old Taoist rolled his eyes at him and said rather arrogantly:
"Although I am a treasure hunter, I can only touch a tomb once. This is a rule. Rules are rules. How can I break them just for a few spiritual stones? I also have industry ethics, okay?"
Lin Dongjiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He thought to himself that this old Taoist was definitely a man who was blind to money. Unexpectedly, he was quite principled, so he said:
"Then you have to go with us. If I can't find the lid, wouldn't I be deceived by you?"
"I know my legs are weak, so I won't go with you."
The old Taoist waved his hand and said mysteriously:
"But this alchemy furnace was indeed found from that tomb. I will definitely not lie to you. But whether the lid is still in the tomb and whether you can find it or not depends on your luck.
If the opportunity comes, you can find it if you go there. If the opportunity doesn't come, then this cover will have no chance with you."
"Besides, what I'm selling you is just news. Once the news is conveyed to you, our transaction will end here."
"Farewell to you two. The mountains are high and the road is far. We will meet again later."
The old Taoist hummed an unknown tune and left with one broken straw sandal left.
He took two steps and suddenly turned back to Lin Dongjiu and said, "Boy, since I have accepted your money, let me remind you again."
"I see that your hall has turned black and your aura is so fierce. It looks like you are in for a bloody disaster!"
"Listen to the old advice, just hide at home these days and don't go out wandering around.
Also, there is a serious evil in that tomb. Although I dare not do anything to the old Taoist, it is better for young people like you not to go down easily.
But in your current situation, you can turn evil into evil. Anyway, whether you can go down or not is entirely up to you. If something goes wrong, just don’t blame it on the old man. Farewell!"
Having said that, the veteran stopped staying, took three steps and two steps at a time, and disappeared at the corner of the street in the blink of an eye.
Lin Dongjiu was stunned for a moment, then slowly took a breath and said:
"This old way is not simple."
Su Ruxue said indifferently: "It's not that simple. I think he might be afraid that we would look for the lid and trouble him again if we couldn't find it, so he deliberately scared us."
Lin Dongjiu did not explain, but said seriously:
"How much would this alchemy furnace be worth if it had a lid?"
