Chapter 419 Xingyue Myriads Pavilion

"Sugar pills! Excellent sugar pills!"

"Cherry blossom snow, icy cool, sweet cherry blossom snow!"

"Osmanthus cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, buy three get one free, buy six get two free, only tonight!"

"Takoyaki! Freshly made Takoyaki!"

"My lord, how many can I buy for your wife?"

"Uh, no..."

The one called the city that never sleeps is the capital of Daluo, but in fact, although the Heian capital of the Sakura Shogunate does not have this name, it also has the reality.

Even though it was night now, the streets of Heianjing were still brightly lit and extremely lively.

Bright yellow and red lanterns, as well as water-patterned fish flags fluttering in the wind, are hung all over the market. Looking around, they are all full of shogunate-style buildings and decorations.

And in this bustling market, there are many vendors pushing carts, shuttling among the crowd, selling their own goods.

At this moment, a middle-aged man selling takoyaki shouted excitedly to Li Guanqi and Sophia who were passing by: "My lord, buy a few. Look at your wife, you will love it!"

"Ok?"

Li Guanqi originally refused, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but glance sideways at Sophia.

I saw that the lioness was looking at the takoyaki stall eagerly at the moment, and even raised her right hand and wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand to avoid drooling.

"..."

Li Guanqi was at a loss for words.

He knows that the resources of the grassland are poor, but the problem is that it is not so poor, right?

A lioness of the royal family who has lived for more than 170 years and is also expensive as a seven-star, can see a takoyaki like this?
It's too ridiculous.

How miserable is the life of the grassland orcs?
"Come to 10."

Li Guanqi shook his head, stopped thinking about these things, took out a handful of gold coins from the space necklace, and put them on the stall.

"Hey, good!"

The man who sold takoyaki suddenly smiled, picked up the gold coins, and began to pick up the takoyaki from the boiler. He quickly filled 10 pieces, put them in a cardboard box, inserted four sticks, and handed them to him with both hands. Li Guanqi.

"My lord, take it well."

"Ah."

Li Guanqi took it, and handed it to Sophia beside him.

Sophia's eyes lit up, she quickly took it, grabbed a piece of takoyaki from the cardboard box, put it in her mouth, and chewed it.

And Li Guanqi led her and continued to walk forward.

The two of them just followed the flow of people, walking neither in a hurry nor slowly.

It's not that I want to experience the fireworks in the world. The main reason is that there are rules in Heian capital. Except for the court or law enforcement personnel, no one is allowed to fly in the city, and it is not allowed to use extraordinary power to disrupt public order.

How is it a breach of public order?

Only one-level humans with different blood running wildly in the streets of the city, the panic caused by the high-speed movement of ordinary citizens, and the damage caused by the air currents caused by the high-speed movement, this is already considered a breach of public order, and they will be arrested by the law enforcement department.

In fact, not only Heian-kyo, almost all towns have similar rules.

The former city guard said that the ratio of Sakura people to foreigners in Heianjing is about 5:1.

But in fact, the specific performance is even more exaggerated.

After walking in the market for a while, Li Guanqi saw more than 20 foreigners with western faces, among them more than ten were tulip people with blond hair and golden eyes.

And I saw several demi-human races.

One of them is a tauren, and the others are centaurs. Li Guanqi couldn't help but think of a centaur he once knew—Master Xia Houli's adopted daughter, Misha.

Heian-kyo is indeed tolerant, as can be seen from its acceptance of foreigners and sub-races.

"Is the takoyaki delicious?"

Li Guanqi looked ahead and asked casually while walking.

"Hmm... delicious."

However, Sophia's response seemed to be a little crying.

Li Guanqi turned his head to look at her in astonishment.

I saw this beautiful woman with blond hair and golden eyes holding a cardboard box in her left hand and half a takoyaki stuck in a stick in her right hand. There were a few residues on the corners of her mouth, and crystal tears were swirling in the corners of her eyes.

"what happened?"

Li Guanqi was surprised and said: "It's so delicious that you cry? Is it so exaggerated?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and also picked up a takoyaki.

"As for what?"

Li Guanqi took two mouthfuls, feeling the rich aroma in his mouth, and became more and more surprised, "Although these octopus balls taste good, they are not so delicious that you cry?"

Sophia just wiped her eyes and didn't speak again.

"Everything in life is nothing more than touching the scene to create emotion."

At this time, Jian Kong's voice suddenly sounded in Li Guanqi's mind, "Humans, no matter whether they are ordinary humans or alien blood humans, your taste buds all determine that no matter how delicious something is, it won't make people feel too emotional .

If a food can make a person cry for it, then it must not be the ingredients that give more 'taste', but the memories... or in other words, the emotions that the memories breed. "

"Oh, Sophia is thinking of her younger siblings."

When Li Guanqi was mentioned by Shunkong, he immediately figured it out.

"Yup."

In Shun Kong's voice, there was a bit of emotion, "She is a sister, how many sisters in the world don't love their younger siblings? I guess, Sophia must be thinking that it is so delicious when she is eating this takoyaki. How good would it be if I could let my younger brothers and sisters have a taste of the foreign delicacies of our country?"

Li Guanqi was silent.

"Unfortunately……"

Shunkong sighed softly, "Her younger brothers and sisters are dead, and to a large extent, they were killed by her as the older sister. With this kind of emotion intertwined, she is just crying now, no wow A cry came out, it was already hard to endure."

"Don't be too sad."

Hearing these words, Li Guanqi looked at Sophia beside him, patted her on the head lightly, and comforted her: "They will definitely not blame you, you are their sister after all..."

"Wow!"

Before she finished speaking, tears suddenly burst out of Sophia's eyes, and she cried unceasingly, which attracted the attention of pedestrians around her.

Li Guanqi was stunned.

Then he looked at the weeping Sophia, a little at a loss, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Master, haven't you heard a word?"

This time it wasn't the instant utterance, but Xiaoxue's soft and waxy voice, and said softly: "When others are holding back crying, don't comfort them, because once you comfort them, they can't help it." Oh...and your comforting words are really bad."

"cry?"

Immediately afterwards, the surprised voice of the magic knife suddenly sounded, "The 178-year-old lioness, who has lived for so many years, has not grown up at all? How can she still cry in public?"

"Kill Mo!"

Shun Kong's voice sank, with a hint of anger, "If you also have 5 younger brothers and sisters, and they were all killed by you, you wouldn't say such sarcastic remarks. Have some sympathy, stinky knife, even No empathy, no talking, no one calling you dumb."

"That's right, that's right... Sophia is already very pitiful."

Xiaoxue also echoed softly.

The magic knife fell silent and did not reply.

"This guy is really bad. The man who makes the girl cry is the most rubbish."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Why is a magician wearing a black robe?"

"Who is free to wear a black hooded robe? Is this the standard equipment for conjurers?"

"Then, even if he is a conjurer, this is Heian-kyo, what would he dare to do?"

"Hey...how do you want me to say hello?"

As Sophia's cries intensified, there were bursts of discussion among pedestrians around.

"Om-"

In desperation, Li Guanqi had no choice but to raise his hand and cast a sound-proof spiritual shield, covering Sophia, blocking her crying, so as not to continue to attract the attention of the people around him.

Then he grabbed the weeping lioness by the wrist and quickly led her away from the market place.

He didn't come to Ping'an capital for shopping or tourism. His main purpose was to find the owner of the Xingyue Myriad Things Pavilion, find the seller of the bricks of the Ice Temple, and find clues to the Ice Temple.

……

……

Heianjing, XC District, in a remote alley.

The hustle and bustle outside seems to have nothing to do with this alley. The quietness and desertedness of this place, as well as the bleakness without lights, are in stark contrast to the bustle and bright lights of the night market outside.

In the shadows, two figures walked out slowly.

It was Li Guanqi in a black robe, and Sophia in white short sleeves and black tight trousers.

"Feeling better?"

Li Guanqi glanced at her.

"I'm sorry, master..."

Sophia lowered her head, her eyes still seemed a little red.

"It's my comforting words that are too stupid."

Li Guanqi waved his hand, and then walked straight to the end of the alley, "Don't talk about those sad things, let's go, Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion is just ahead."

"Uh-huh."

Sophia followed.

Xingyue Myriad Things Pavilion.

This is a very grand name. It sounds like some kind of large-scale force with minions spread all over the entire shogunate, the level of storing endless treasures of the shogunate.

But in reality, it's just an ordinary grocery store.

"Forehead……"

Li Guanqi stopped, raised his head, and looked at the signboard of the shop in front of him with a strange expression.

An unremarkable brown board with 5 large black characters engraved on it.

【Star Moon Myriad Things Pavilion】

The handwriting is a bit ugly.

"Ok?"

Standing outside the closed gate, Li Guanqi suddenly shrugged his nose.

This smell...is some kind of potion?

But it seems to fail many times.

Because there is not only one flavor, but many strands, they are a bit the same, but there are also differences, for example, one has a stronger taste, while the other is too weak.

Obviously, they are obviously derived from the same potion, but they are all unqualified failures. The refiner tried repeatedly, but they still failed.

Li Guanqi didn't know what the medicine was, and his knowledge of pharmacy was not that extensive.

But his extraordinary sense of smell, coupled with his existing knowledge of potions, still allowed him to make this judgment - the boss of Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion was making potions, but failed many times.

"Bang bang."

"Boss, why is the door closed?"

Li Guanqi stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and asked aloud.

There was someone in the shop, and he could feel that person's aura, the undisguised aura of alien blood, which was the same as Shinichi Kuroba of the Liuhe level of martial arts, even slightly stronger than the first line.

The Liuhe-level alien blood warrior may be the biggest "unusual" in this seemingly ordinary shop.

"Closing the door means closing the door. Didn't your mother teach you not to shout at a closed shop?"

A rough male voice came from the shop.

"My mother did teach me."

Li Guanqi smiled, "But she also taught me to be willing to help others. For example, now, there is a man who has made potions many times, but he can't succeed no matter what. Tell me, should I help this man?"

"……you can help me?"

The man's voice was slightly hesitant.

"Who knows?"

Li Guanqi looked at the quiet surrounding streets, his voice was calm, "Anyway, it's at least useful to have a conjurer to help, right?"

"really."

After the man responded, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near.

"Squeak-"

The door of Xingyue Myriad Things Pavilion is open.

A middle-aged man in a light blue shirt and black pants appeared in front of Li Guanqi and Sophia.

[Martial Arts Liuhe level]

"Are you a magician too?"

The big man glanced at Li Guanqi, and then looked at Sophia hesitantly, "My magic weapon is sixth-level, and it responds to the man next to you. He is a four-element magician, but he doesn't respond to you. You, are you...a seven-star magician?"

"Who knows?"

Li Guanqi didn't explain too much, just smiled.

Sophia said nothing.

This lioness is of course not a magician, but as a former seven-star alien blood lion, even if she falls, what she loses is only the ability to pull the stars.

A seven-star is able to pull the stars, so it is called a seven-star. Without this ability, she is naturally called a fall.

But that's all that's lost.

In fact, her comprehension of the laws of space and the physical strength of her physical body have not decreased in the slightest.

In other words, in these two aspects, she is still at the seven-star level.

In fact, Sophia is in a state of [using the law of space, condensing the space barrier, covering 1 centimeter of space around her body, and preventing others from feeling her breath] all the time.

This kind of state is basically incomprehensible for people whose realm is lower than hers, lower than seven stars, and there is no way to see the cultivation level through a layer of space barrier.

"Would you do me a favor, sir?"

The big guy at Liuhe level didn't dare to look at Sophia any more, and instead looked at Li Guanqi.

"You are the boss of Xingyue Myriad Things Pavilion?"

Li Guanqi asked a rhetorical question.

"Correct."

The big man nodded, "My name is Kumagai Junpei, you can call me Kumagai."

"My name is Takeshi Kaneshiro, and I need your help with a favor."

Li Guanqi smiled, "But the matter of helping, there are back and forth. I will help you solve the problem of refining medicine, and you will help me with this?"

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Kumagai Junpei hesitated a little, "My business is not that important, but my temperature controller is broken, and I need you to use the flame spell, just help me create a flame with a fixed temperature.

I can wait for two days, the guy who sells magic weapons on the next street comes back, just ask him to fix it... So, this is a small problem, if you want me to help you more than this, sir, then I will help you. You have to think about it. "

"I don't have much of a problem."

Li Guanqi took out the turning head of the Ice Temple from the space necklace, and asked earnestly: "This ice was bought from you by Alton, the sheep-headed man. Do you still have any impression? I want to know, is this ice?" Who sold it to you?"

"..."

Kumagai Junping showed a thoughtful expression.

Humans with different blood have surpassed the first level, and they basically have a photographic memory. The entire memory structure is similar to a large memory. Anything that has been experienced and any picture that has been seen will be stored in the depths of the brain. When needed, it will be stored in the brain." Turn it over" to remember.

So Kumagai Junpei quickly remembered the origin of this ice cube.

"Speaking of which, I only know who sold this ice cube. As for how the seller got it, then I don't know."

Kumagai Junpei said.

"also."

Li Guanqi nodded, and put away the bricks of the Ice Temple again.

"Then come in."

Kumagai Junpei turned around and walked straight into the shop.

Li Guanqi and Sophia followed closely, looking at the shop while walking.

To be honest, Li Guanqi underestimated this "Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion".

At first he thought it was a small shop, but when he came in, he realized that the so-called "small shop" was just a front hall, and the whole huge building behind it all belonged to Kumagai Junpei, and it was Xingyue. The site area of ​​Wanwu Pavilion.

The overall layout here is similar to a large pawn shop, filled with all kinds of interesting objects, including sacrificial utensils, and various technological products from ancient ruins, which gave Li Guanqi a lot of insight .

finally.

Kumagai Junpei brought Li Guanqi and Sophia to an alchemy room.

"Here, help me release a flame at 2150°C. It must be kept stable. The temperature difference within 10 minutes cannot exceed 20°C."

Kumagai Junpei knocked on the alchemy cauldron next to him.

"Your requirements for flames are pretty thin."

Without further ado, Li Guanqi snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a ball of crimson flames rose directly from the bottom of the alchemy cauldron. Using spiritual power to precisely control the temperature, he kept the temperature at around 2150°C as requested by the other party.

"Keep steady."

As Kumagai Junpei spoke, he began to put ingredients into the pot.

Li Guanqi looked around while controlling the fire.

A lot of waste liquid basins, and the many smells he smelled just now came from here.

As for what potion Kumagai Junpei was going to refine, he couldn't tell.

After all, this kind of refining process does not need to change the temperature from the beginning to the end, but deliberately maintains a fixed temperature medicine, which is really unheard of in his experience.

After all, generally speaking, one of the difficulties in refining pharmaceuticals is the temperature of the flame. When to heat up and when to cool down are all difficult points in refining pharmaceuticals. But for Kumagai Junpei's medicine, it is necessary to maintain the temperature from the beginning to the end. fixed.

"Boss Kumagai, what kind of potion are you using? The temperature requirements are a bit special."

Li Guanqi couldn't help asking.

"Self-created potion."

However, Kumagai Junpei obviously didn't have the slightest idea of ​​explaining, he just said something perfunctorily.

Li Guanqi tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

10 minutes later.

Refining is complete.

"Well, that's what it smells like."

Kumagai Junpei held a glass bottle, shook it, smelled the purple liquid medicine inside, nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Jincheng, your temperature control is excellent, this batch of liquid medicine is perfect."

"Award."

Li Guanqi didn't pay attention, and directly said straight to the point: "I'll help you, now it's your turn to help me."

As he said that, he took out the ice temple bricks from the space necklace again, and his expression became serious.

"Then now, Boss Kumagai, you should tell me, who sold this thing to you?"
