Chapter 24 Super-grade elixir
"I?"
Yu Qinglan was shocked at first, and then smiled as if nothing had happened: "I am just a small alchemist, not the son of a wealthy family."
While speaking, Yu Qinglan did not look at Xu Fu, but picked up a bowl of tea that had been cold for a long time on the table and brought it to her mouth, taking a slight sip.
"Little alchemist? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Let me guess."
Xu Fu did not continue to question Yu Qinglan, but stood up and walked aside, poured out the herbal tea in the teapot, replaced it with new tea, and added hot water.
"First of all, let me talk about your alchemy furnace. It is simple and unique, with restrained splendor. It seems heavy but is extremely light. I'm afraid it is not an ordinary product, right?" Xu Fu said lightly, rinsed the tea bowl with hot water for tea washing, and then said: " Besides, your skills are extremely high, and your swordsmanship is superb, but you only know how to attack but not defend, which is not how ordinary sects teach you."
Xu Fu poured out all the water for washing the tea, added hot water to the teapot, walked to Yu Qinglan, poured tea into the empty teacup next to him, and said, "This sack of mine is full of fifth-grade elixirs." , you don’t recognize it and you’re not surprised at all, it’s obvious that you’ve seen a lot and you’re not surprised.”
Xu Fu sat on the other side, looked at the silent Yu Qinglan, smiled slightly and said, "I guess you are the son of a certain alchemy family. You are dissatisfied with the control of your family and ran away from home?"
"Are you going to drive me away?" Yu Qinglan did not refute, her voice a little aggrieved.
"Why do you want to hide it?" Xu Fu asked.
"I don't want to rely on my family, not even a penny."
"It seems your family has a great reputation!"
"I will pay you back the money I owe you."
"It's agreed, I'll remember it all." Seeing Yu Qinglan's vow, Xu Fu couldn't pretend anymore and laughed. He didn't expect Yu Qinglan to be so unscrupulous.
Seeing Xu Fu's appearance, Yu Qinglan also understood that Xu Fu was just joking. She was slightly annoyed and relieved. It wasn't the Danyuan Conference yet. If Xu Fu kicked her out, she might end up living on the street. , if you meet someone from the Yuntian Gang again, then...
"You scared me with your stinky face just now!"
Yu Qinglan also returned to her previous arrogant tone, "Please let me drink to apologize!"
"Did I get it all right? I just want you to know how powerful I am. Don't hide anything from now on. You can't hide it even if you want to!" Xu Fu said proudly, obviously having a perfect understanding of his previous paragraph. The conclusion is extremely satisfactory.
"Don't be complacent, it's not entirely right." Yu Qinglan smiled and poured cold water on Xu Fu.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu immediately stopped smiling and asked.
"Aren't you awesome? Guess again!" After saying this, Yu Qinglan ignored Xu Fu and stood up to take Yuehua out of the animal cage.
As soon as Yuehua came out of the cage, it was like a silver thread, running towards Xu Fu and rubbing against his chest.
"Heartless!"
Yu Qinglan said angrily: "If I hadn't been shameless enough to buy wine and meat on credit in the past two days, you would have starved to death!"
"It's greedy for this." Xu Fu took out the jade box from his arms, opened it, grabbed a few elixirs and put them on the table.
Yue Hua immediately left Xu Fu, jumped over a few times, rolled the elixirs into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them directly.
After eating the elixir, Yuehua seemed to be relieved and lay down on the table and dozed off.
"What pill is this?"
As an alchemist, Yu Qinglan could naturally tell that those few pills were definitely not ordinary ones, and her expression became a little unbelievable, and she said helplessly: "I've never seen you so generous!"
"Give me one to see."
Yu Qinglan stared at the jade box, suddenly remembered something, and said.
"These elixirs are all fourth-grade elixirs." Xu Fu explained hurriedly. The master in front of him didn't even pay attention to the elixirs of the fifth grade. However, as he said that, he directly took the jade box containing the elixirs. Passed it over.
Yu Qinglan was stunned for a moment. The person in front of her was really not on guard against her at all. She felt inexplicably happy and her depression was gone.
Opening the jade box and looking at the various elixirs mixed inside, Yu Qinglan said helplessly: "Are these elixirs for Yuehua?"
"Of course not, I am preparing to participate in the Alchemy Conference." Xu Fu knew that as an alchemist, it was really inappropriate to hold the elixir in such high bloom, so he replied a little embarrassed.
"This elixir is wrong." Yu Qinglan suddenly said in a deep voice.
"I know it's wrong to put them away like this. Once I buy the jade bottle, I will separate them."
"It's not that I put it wrongly." Yu Qinglan said, and took out a small exquisite wooden box from her body. The top of the wooden box was inlaid with a clear colorless crystal stone. I saw him pick up an iron pill, put it into the jade box, and then seal the box tightly.
Although this iron pill has an unpleasant name, it is very popular among fourth-grade elixirs. After taking this pill, the skin will be greatly hardened in a short period of time, like armor, which can resist swords.
Soon, the crystal on the top of the wooden box shone slightly, and the light was actually colored, very beautiful.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, after the crystal slowly turns blue, the color will no longer change. Although the light blue light is weak, it is extremely pure, like a star falling into the river and sea.
"Senior sister must like it."
Xu Fu thought of Li Wuji unconsciously, and his face heated up, "I wonder how senior sister is doing now?"
"Hey! Hey!"
Yu Qinglan shouted with some dissatisfaction: "What are you thinking about? Your face is red."
"No!" Xu Fu touched his face, feeling a little hot, and asked quickly: "What is this box for?"
"Thankfully you are still an alchemist, but you don't even recognize the Jiuhua Box." Yu Qinglan rolled her eyes at Xu Fu and said.
"Jiuhua Box? Is this the Jiuhua Box?" Xu Fu was shocked. He quickly got closer and looked at it carefully. He had already heard the name of the Jiuhua Box.
The Jiuhua Box is a rare object in the world of alchemy. It is impossible to find out who created it. Its only function is to check the grade of the elixir. It is marked with nine colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, black, white, black and white to distinguish the first to ninth grades. of elixir.
In fact, for most alchemists, the Jiuhua Box is just an expensive toy. After all, low-grade elixirs can be recognized at a glance, while high-grade elixirs may not be seen a few in a lifetime.
It is said that this box was used to check the grade of the elixir during the alchemy competition in the Dan League. Unexpectedly, Yu Qinglan would have one.
"Do you even have this?" Xu Fu asked in confusion.
"I just think this box looks pretty good."
Yu Qinglan smiled, looked at the faint blue light on the Jiuhua box, and said seriously: "It seems so, your elixir is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly, his heart suddenly clenched. The refining time of his own elixir was quite different. Xu Fu was still a little guilty about the quality of the elixir. If the elixir was not refined, not to mention the wasted energy and time, those elixirs would have been wasted. If it were true, In this case, it is better to give him a knife!
"This iron pill of yours is... a super-grade elixir!" Yu Qinglan said solemnly, staring at the Jiuhua Box.
"Super-grade elixir?" Xu Fu was also stunned for a moment. Xu Fu was no stranger to super-grade elixirs. When he was refining the body-strengthening elixir for Li Wuji, he had accidentally used the power of Qixin Dan to refine it. He took the super-grade elixir and slept for ten days, but this time was very different from the last time. He was neither weak nor comatose. How was this super-grade elixir made?
Heart method, spiritual fire, and alchemy furnace.
Xu Fu recalled what Li Danxin said at that time about the conditions for refining a super-grade elixir. The mental method has not changed, the spiritual fire has not changed, the alchemy furnace...
"Is it the alchemy furnace?" Xu Fu unconsciously touched the small alchemy furnace hanging on his chest, and his heart seemed to jump out of his mouth.
"If it's the alchemy furnace, then other elixirs..."
"This one is the same, and this one..."
Yu Qinglan picked several pills and put them into the Jiuhua box for inspection, and concluded that there were about ten super-grade elixirs in the jade box in front of her!
Even though he had seen a lot since childhood, Yu Qinglan had to admit that he was shocked. Xu Fu suddenly became mysterious in his eyes. This super-grade elixir is extremely difficult to refine. Even if My own father...
Yu Qinglan shook her head, picked up the not-so-hot tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, she closed the spirit box and gently pushed it to Xu Fu.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly when he saw Yu Qinglan's expression was not good.
"Put it away quickly, don't let anyone know." Yu Qinglan whispered.
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's a crime to have a jade in your possession."
"how to say?"
"You have so many super-grade elixirs, and you must have a special refining method. This is enough for all the alchemists to pry the secrets out of your mouth at any cost, and then..." Yu Qinglan said at the end, He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"hiss……"
Xu Fu took a breath, and his frantic heartbeat quickly calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, Yu Qinglan's words made sense.
"Then don't you want to know the refining method?"
Xu Fu stared at Yu Qinglan and asked, "Aren't you also an alchemist?"
"I think so, but I won't ask."
Yu Qinglan turned her head stubbornly, "But you have to help me refine whatever elixir I want, otherwise... I will... pester you every day."
"Haha, you know how to blush when you act like a rogue."
Xu Fu looked at Yu Qinglan's slightly red face and laughed loudly, and most of the depression he felt just now dissipated in an instant.
"Choose whatever you want."
Xu Fu stopped smiling and pushed the jade box to Yu Qinglan. He had an inexplicable trust in the handsome young man in front of him, otherwise he would not have shown him the sack of fifth-grade elixir.
"I don't need it." Yu Qinglan pushed the jade box back without hesitation.
"You're welcome. There are so many magical elixirs that I feel a little bit hot for you to talk about. Just help me share the burden." Xu Fu said with a smile.
"We have to find a way." Yu Qinglan seemed not to hear Xu Fu's joking tone. She thought for a moment and slammed the table, "Yes!"
"oops!"
Just as Yu Qinglan slapped the table, she suddenly leaned over and covered her shoulders.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Fu hurriedly stepped forward.
"It's okay." Yu Qinglan sat up straight again, the expression on her face didn't look like she was okay.
"Let me see!"
Xu Fu opened Yu Qinglan's hand and pulled the collar, revealing a large smooth shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Yu Qinglan looked frightened and struggled hard.
"do not move!"
Xu Fu pretended to yell angrily, which startled Yu Qinglan, but it really calmed him down.
Seeing that Yu Qinglan was being honest, Xu Fu frowned and took a closer look at his purple shoulder. Gu Yan's slap was really hard. If he hadn't reversed the sword's edge, the consequences could be imagined.
"Fortunately no bones were hurt."
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, took out two iron pills from the jade box, crushed them into powder, and spread them evenly on Qinglan's shoulders.
Without refining the elixir, it will naturally not be able to exert its effectiveness, but the fourth-grade elixir is more than enough to treat a bruise.
The hand was warm and tender, like stroking a piece of fine silk. It was the first time for Xu Fu to meet someone with such delicate skin, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
"Um……"
A muffled groan came out of Yu Qinglan's nose. It turned out to be Xu Fu rubbing the injury unconsciously. Xu Fu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand and calmed down his weird mind.
"It's weird, why do you feel uneasy when you touch a man? I shouldn't...have that kind of fetish?" Xu Fu swallowed hard when he thought of this, not daring to think further.
"Thank you, Brother Fu." Yu Qinglan glanced at the bruises on her shoulders. Under the effect of the iron pill powder, most of the visible dissipation had turned from dark purple to dark red. She quickly packed her clothes and thanked her softly. , his face and neck turned red when he spoke.
After that, the two fell into an eerie silence.
"Sir, the food and drinks are here!"
When the two of them didn't know how to break the deadlock, there was a knock on the door from the innkeeper.
"Hold on."
Xu Furu was pardoned and hurriedly hid the jade box and sack before opening the door.
The two of them had their own concerns and did not move their chopsticks for a long time after sitting down.
After a long time, Xu Fu picked up the wine pot, poured a glass for Yu Qinglan, and said, "Brother Qinglan, you just said you had it, have you figured out a way?"
"Yes, you can do this..." Yu Qinglan hurriedly told Xu Fu the idea she had just thought of.
"Broken into parts?" Xu Fu was puzzled.
"That's right, if you take out all these super-grade elixirs at once, you will definitely be targeted." Yu Qinglan touched the decoration on the jade box and said with certainty.
“Even if it’s a small sale, where will you find a buyer?”
"I know a place that's perfect for this deal."
"Where?"
"Yi Baoxing." Yu Qinglan's tone was very firm.
"A person who buys and sells treasures?" This is the first time Xu Fu has heard of this name. There is no such thing in Shaoshang Mall.
"Yes, there are often good things for sale there. If you catch the treasure fair, it will be even more lively." Yu Qinglan said, her eyes were burning, "Whether it's the magic elixir, spirit fire, or magic weapon skills , all rare and precious things can be sent to Yi Baoxing for trading."
"Do you also sell spiritual elixirs and exercises?" Xu Fu was overjoyed. It turned out that there was such a good place.
"What will the treasure be used for?" Xu Fu asked.
"This Yibao store will hold a treasure fair every once in a while. At the meeting, the most precious treasures recently received will be auctioned. The one with the highest price will win."
"Then let's go to Yibaoxing quickly and take a look!"
The two devoured their meal. Seeing that Yuehua hadn't woken up yet, they quietly closed the door, gave the shopkeeper a few instructions, and then left the inn.
I asked someone casually for the location of Yibaoxing. I could see the gold-lettered signboard at the door of Yibaoxing from a long distance away. The word "Yi" about half a foot high was very eye-catching.
Yibaoxing is located in the bustling city, with a constant stream of people coming and going. When Yu Qinglan said that Yibaoxing almost has stores in the bustling city, Xu Fu was amazed at how rich the shopkeeper behind it was. ah!
Xu Fu was still standing at the door and sighing. Yu Qinglan had entered the door briskly, looking a little eager. Xu Fu didn't dare to hesitate. There were so many people here, and it would be difficult to separate, so he hurriedly chased after her.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a cylindrical hall. Various weapons are placed in the middle and around the hall, as if you are in a weapons store, but these weapons are all locked with iron ropes, so you can see and touch them. Can't take it away.
Xu Fu was dazzled when he suddenly felt his wrist being pulled. He saw Yu Qinglan running out of nowhere, pulling Xu Fu and saying as he walked: "If there is anything good to see here, follow me."
Xu Fu felt the softness of Yu Qinglan's palm from his wrist, and a strange feeling surged into his chest again.
"Sure enough, I didn't work hard to practice swordsmanship, but my hands didn't have any calluses at all." Xu Fu secretly cursed.
"look here!"
Yu Qinglan pulled Xu Fu, who was thinking about it, to another hall. When he heard Yu Qinglan speak, Xu Fu raised his head, and his eyes immediately became hot.
