Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 138 The Treasure Bones

The next day, Zhang Wei went to see the injured brother with a gift.

Although the injured senior brother was lying on the bed, he looked pretty good. Zhang Wei exchanged a few words with him, then took out his gift and said, "Senior brother was hurt because of me, and I have nothing else to do. I can only thank you with pills." .These are the five 'Longxiang Pills' which have the function of strengthening the lungs and heart, and should be helpful to the brother's condition. There is also a 'Shuihuodan' which can avoid water and fire spells, but I can't use it myself, otherwise The elixir will lose its effect. If you had this elixir that day, you probably won't be injured."

After speaking, Zhang Wei handed over the gift.This Longxiang Dan has not been refined for a long time due to material problems.Now that I have come to Jinhua City, I have only collected a few of these materials.Dragon bone and elephant bone are two materials. The keel is okay. Many dragon-attributed animal bones are made of keel, but there are really too few elephant bones. This thing is only found in the southern barbarian land, and there are too few here.

After exchanging pleasantries with this senior brother, Zhang Wei left.When he left, the senior brothers surrounded him and said curiously: "Senior brother, what is the elixir that Zhang Wei gave you, take a look."

Although no one has heard of the two kinds of elixirs, but the products produced by alchemists, can they be inferior?

The senior brother was also curious, he took out a Longxiang Pill, which Zhang Wei said was strong in the internal organs, so he ate one.

After a while, a warm current rose from the belly and flowed to the five internal organs.The next moment, he moaned comfortably.

"This elixir is so overbearing, there is a burst of heat that goes directly to the five internal organs! I like it so much!" The brother said while moaning.

Others felt itchy when they heard it, wishing they could try one themselves.At this time, one of the juniors smiled and said, "I don't believe what the seniors say, unless you give me one to try!"

The senior brother quickly put away the elixir, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, don't try to lie to me about the elixir!"

Everyone laughed in harmony again.

Smiling and laughing, the senior brother suddenly frowned.He rubbed his belly with a hesitant look on his face.

Others looked at it and saw that the brother's face was different, and immediately asked: "Is there anything wrong with the brother?"

The senior brother shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable, my internal organs are healed! Now I can generate the energy of the five elements again!"

His five internal organs were injured due to mobilizing the energy of the five elements, and he was supposed to recuperate.But after eating Longxiang Pill, Longxiang Pill strengthened the five internal organs, and actually made up for this shortfall!
This is really a surprise, so that the brother didn't know what to say.

He stood up abruptly and got a set of Xiao Ben Lei Fist, and then said: "Look, I'm cured! I can mobilize the energy of the five elements to practice boxing!"

The other brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately understood that it was the effect of the elixir.

"Brother, tell me again, what's the name of the elixir?"

"It's called Longxiangdan! I heard it clearly."

Everyone was silent, with their own plans in mind.

Lei Xiu's early stage is to strengthen the body and strengthen the five internal organs, and the five internal organs directly generate the energy of the five elements, which is equivalent to Lei Xiu's engine, which is the most important.

If Zhang Wei's simple sentence of 'strengthening the five internal organs' really has such an outstanding effect, then this thing is another treasure.

Zhang Wei returned to his small courtyard and found that the dog Huang Dou was not there, so he asked, "Where did Huang Dou go?"

Xiaoqian said: "He disappeared early in the morning, maybe he went somewhere to play."

Zhang Wei nodded and said nothing.

At this time, Gouzi was sitting in Jinhua City with the three great immortals of the Zhang family.

"I asked the brothers in the aisle, there was nothing unusual that day, and it was thundering and raining, so they didn't dare to go out."

Gray Mouse said to Soybean.

Huangdou nodded, then looked at the other two, and the weasel shook his head and said, "Me too, I can't ask too many things, and they don't have anything to do with it."

The three immortals had been running around Jinhua City during this time, looking for clues for Zhang Wei and washing away Zhang Wei's grievances.

It's just that they are not familiar with it here, and they haven't found anything good after spending a few days.

But at this time, the white hedgehog raised his short hand and said, "I found a strange person."

???

Huang Dou and the other two immortals all looked at him.He said triumphantly: "I saw that the man was not a good man. He was lurking in a family. One day I passed by that family, and saw him suddenly break through the water and enter the moat. Then I waited and found that he was When I came back from the moat, I became a little fish again in that house.”

When Huang Dou heard this, he immediately cheered up and said, "Take us to see what's going on!"

The white hedgehog nodded and led them through the streets and alleys until they came outside a house.

This family looks not small, and it is by the moat of Guocheng.The people who live in Guocheng are basically the middle and lower class people, but this house occupies a large area, so it is estimated that they are rich people among the middle and lower class people.

Gouzi Huangdou walked around the house. There was no plaque on the house, and he didn't know the name of the owner.

I could only follow the white hedgehog to squat on a big tree outside the wall and look inside the yard.

The white hedgehog pointed to the pool in the yard and said, "That weird man turned into a fish in the pool."

The other two great immortals looked at it and said: "It can transform into a human form, this is probably a fish demon! It's not low."

Compared with the white hedgehog, the weasel and the gray mouse are much smarter. The white hedgehog is silly, and most of the time he doesn't seem very clever.

At this time, a woman suddenly appeared in the courtyard. She came to the pool with fish food and sprinkled the fish food, and the small fish in the pool swam up one after another and began to eat the fish food.

The girl looked at the fish eating fish food, and said a little sadly: "I really envy you, you can eat and drink carefree, hey!"

She sighed, and suddenly felt something watching her, she turned her head to look, only to find a few animals squatting on the big tree outside the wall.

The yellow dog, the black weasel, the mouse, and the hedgehog crouched on a branch, and she giggled at the sight of something joyful.

Huangdou realized that she had seen her, and quickly climbed down the tree.

"It's quite rare for a yellow dog to climb a tree." Seeing this scene, the girl laughed again.

She was very sweet when she laughed, but no one saw this scene. Animals can't appreciate the beauty of human beings.

A dog and three great immortals squatted outside, Gouzi said: "There is nothing strange about this." He has a keen sense of smell and can smell evil spirits, ghosts and many other smells, but he just smelled it, and there is nothing unusual about it. the taste of.

At this moment, the small door beside them opened, and the girl came out carrying a food bowl.

She came to Huangdou, looked at Huangdou and said, "I guess you are hungry too, here are some things you can eat. Don't climb trees in the future. It's too dangerous."

After finishing speaking, she put the food bowl in her hand in front of Soybean, and gestured for Soybean to eat.

The soybeans were shocked!Looking down, the food bowl is mixed with vegetables, millet rice, and rice, and there are some broth and minced meat, a typical farm dog's hodgepodge.

The girl looked at Huang Dou stupidly at herself, smiled and left.She guessed that soybeans were afraid of people, so she didn't dare to eat them.

She has fed many stray cats and dogs. Most stray cats and dogs are afraid of people. You need to walk away before they will eat carefully.

When the girl left, the white hedgehog couldn't help but put his head into the food bowl and took a bite, then raised his head and said, "It's delicious!"

Both the weasel and the gray mouse gave him blank looks. If there is poison here, he must be the first to die!
Huang Dou shook his head, and said to the immortals: "You keep an eye on this, this guy is not bad, the main thing is to look at that fish demon."

After he finished speaking, he kicked the white hedgehog who was burying his head in eating, and then left.

The white hedgehog was aggrieved and clutched his butt, could it be that he couldn't eat anymore?

Time passed, and soon it was April.

April is the day when the cicadas start to sing. On Qingwei Mountain, among the lush vegetation, there are also cicadas that start to sing.

Qingwei's disciple Lan Heyu is meditating and practicing Qi. His dark appearance and strong body are a bit out of place with other monks.

Because he is from the land of the Southern Man, and because he admires the Qingwei sect, he took great pains to worship in Qingwei Mountain.

When he first started, he made a lot of jokes with his thick Mandarin accent, but after years of practice, apart from his skin color, he is basically no different from a Jinhua person.

As soon as he finished his work, he saw a few fellow disciples standing beside him.These classmates looked at him with a smile, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Brothers, what's the matter?" Lan Heyu asked.

Several disciples smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just heard that there are elephants in Brother Lan's hometown?"

Oh, it turned out to be this thing.Lan Heyu smiled and said, "Yes, there are indeed elephants in our hometown."

Not only that, my family also raised a group of them.

But he didn't say this sentence, he didn't want others to look at him with surprise.

"Brother Lan, can you get an elephant bone?" The group immediately asked excitedly.

"Elephant bone? Why do you want this thing? It's rare." Lan Heyu said.

Elephants have their own graves called elephant graves.Whenever an old elephant is about to die, they will leave the herd and go to the mysterious elephant grave, waiting for their own death without eating or drinking.After death, their bones will be with their ancestors.

The elephant mound is very mysterious, and it is said that no one can find it except the elephant.But elephants are not human after all, as long as there is a heart, people can always find elephant graves.

It's just that people in this era worship their ancestors and think that elephants' doing so is also an act of acknowledging their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.

If the elephant died accidentally and failed to make it to the elephant grave, its companions would wait for his bones to be exposed, trample them hard, crush their bones, turn them into putty and mix them in the soil.

People here don't know this, but they need elephant bones now.

So, someone told Lan and Yu.

"Brother Lan, Zhang Wei now has a new kind of elixir called Longxiang Dan. This elixir can strengthen the five internal organs, and the effect is very good. You understand what we mean."

Lan Heyu is not a fool, he understood it as soon as he heard it.

"So, you want to get the elephant bone and make alchemy?" Lan Heyu said.

"Of course! Since Brother Lan has the resources, wouldn't it be perfect for us to practice alchemy together?"

Lan Heyu said, "That's good, but the southern border is thousands of miles away, and I'm afraid we'll have to wait half a year to get the bones."

These brothers smiled and said, "We practitioners don't have much else but time! We can afford to wait."

In this way, Lan Heyu, the only person from southern Xinjiang of the Qingwei Sect, was quickly known by everyone.From the little transparency in the past to the present everyone calls brothers and sisters, only one medicinal material is needed!
Lan Heyu returned to the dormitory and hurriedly wrote a letter to his family. This letter would be delivered by Xinniao, passing through the post station of the Dagan court, and finally delivered to his family in Nanjiang.This process will take at least three to five months.It took another three to five months until the bones were sent over there.

He thought for a while, then sneaked to the foot of the mountain again.

At the foot of the mountain lived his servants Big Foot and Big Ear.Both of them are his slaves, but here, it is illegal to keep slaves, so he calls them servants.

The two servants took care of him, but over the years, Lan and Yu became more and more independent, and their affairs became less and less, so they sold some local specialties in the southern border at the foot of the mountain to support their master.

When Lan Heyu came, Dajiao and Daer were carving a pair of ivory pendants. Although the mainstream people now use jade, ivory still has an audience.

Seeing their master coming, the two hurriedly saluted.Lan Heyu said immediately, "Do you have an elephant bone? I remember we brought an elephant bone with us when we came."

When the two servants heard this, they scratched their heads and said loudly, "That joint is an elephant leg bone, it has been carved and sold long ago."

The elephant's leg bones are thick and long, and some people buy them as handicrafts.

Lan Heyu sighed, waved his hands and left.

In fact, these days, Zhang Wei also got some elephant bones one after another.Jinhua City is huge, and there will always be someone in stock.Although elephant bones are rarely used as medicinal materials, they are often used as ornaments.

When many bones were sent, they looked like handicrafts.

For example, the elephant bone in front of me is a handicraft carved from thighs.The carving is rough and rough. According to the person who brought it, it is still an authentic work of southern Xinjiang craftsmen.

It's just that the carving process consumes too much material. An elephant bone has already lost [-]% of its bone mass, leaving only a little frame.

The brother who brought it carefully asked: "Brother, can this bone be used?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Although it's a little less, it's still usable. Senior brother left the gold, just pick it up tomorrow."

For making alchemy with his own materials, Zhang Wei only charges ten taels of gold for one furnace.This price is very close to the people, and the majority of teachers and brothers praise it.

The material of Longxiang Dan is not expensive, but elephant bones are relatively rare here.After the senior brother left, Zhang Wei mixed this elephant bone into a pile of strange elephant bones.

These are elephant bones that other senior brothers found for refining, and Zhang Wei planned to finish refining them for him in one furnace.

In this way, this batch is for seven or eight people, and he can receive seven to eighty taels of gold, and then he can calculate the Longxiang Pill for those senior brothers according to the proportion.

Anyway, he is an alchemist, he can do whatever he wants, and it's not easy for others to talk.Just give them the elixir later.
