Chapter 1661 Just an appearance
"How about it?"

"not so good!"

In Taiqing Temple, Li Shaojun did as usual to ask his children to offer sacrifices to Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism.

These things are nothing more than boasting that one's wishes have been fulfilled with sincerity, and now one is coming to fulfill the wish.

He looked wealthy and noble, which aroused the envy of the worshippers. When Li Shaojun offered his sacrifices, many people followed him.

This is similar to how large amounts of live broadcast rewards can drive small amounts of money.

Everyone's money went out, and Li Shaojun's money went back into his own pocket.

After all the things to create a good atmosphere were done, the Taoist priest who presided over the Taoist temple said frankly that he was willing to bless Zheng Youcai (Li Shaojun's pseudonym) with the spiritual water, and also pointed out that if Zhang Xuezhou was sincere, he could also receive the blessing of the spiritual water.

The two of them entered the back hall amid the envious and jealous gazes of the worshippers.

After pushing open the back door and turning around, you will enter the inner room of the Taoist temple.

After Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun gave the order, things went very smoothly.

Although Li Shaojun looked disgusted, Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that he was attracted to her.

If Li Shaojun was really not interested, the other party would definitely avoid the question.

The reason why Li Shaojun did not guarantee to accept the offer at the moment was that he was more assessing the risks.

"You have to know that His Majesty is not very old now, and his knowledge is limited," Zhang Xuezhou advised: "Once his horizons are broadened, it will be difficult for you to get in touch with Chang'an City in the future!"

"His vision...his lack of vision is a good thing." Li Shaojun scratched his head and said, "But he still has a father and a mother, they can't have a lack of vision, right?"

"I can tell you're ignorant," Zhang Xuezhou said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to report to your superiors when you make friends with others."

"But I don't know how to make the Life-Creating Pill you mentioned," Li Shaojun said in embarrassment, "I've heard of this pill, but I don't know how to make it at all!"

"Then what can you do?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a little disappointment.

"I will refine some Soul-Guiding Powder and Soul-Snatching Powder..."

"What the hell?"

"You know I have to do something to do this business, otherwise people won't come to the Taoist temple to fulfill their vows. The Yinhun Powder I refine can attract ghosts, and the Soul-Snatching Powder can make the evil ghosts fly away. This combination is great for performances, and the cost of these two medicines is low. I have never lost money using them!"

Li Shaojun knows how to make elixirs, but what Li Shaojun makes are elixirs made of gold and stone, not the herbal elixirs that Zhang Xuezhou is good at.

Jinshizhidan is not an internal medicine, but an external medicine, including some hemostatic powders which are also external elixirs.

"You don't know much," Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"That's why I'm a little hesitant," Li Shaojun said, "If I'm exposed, it won't be easy for me to escape from Chang'an City!"

"I saw you carrying a basket to collect herbs on Mount Tai before, but I didn't expect you to be so superficial. You really make me so sad!"

"That's my disguise. If I run into an immortal, I can't just say I came to Mount Tai to climb the mountain and see the scenery!"

One only regrets not having enough ability when he needs it. Li Shaojun felt mixed emotions just thinking about the various conveniences of the imperial pharmacy mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.

He didn't know how to make herbal pills, but the imperial court's medicine storehouse had hundreds of years of medicinal materials and there was no shortage of them. Even if they were taken directly, they would have considerable medicinal effects.

If he could secretly take some out, he could also ask someone to make the elixir.

"I have to learn some alchemy skills temporarily!"

Regardless of whether he is good at it or not, Li Shaojun feels that as long as he can get away with it, he will be halfway to success.

He thought he had to lie more while the new emperor was young and easy to deceive, so that he would not be unable to deceive the other party when he grew up.

"You'd better learn some real skills," Zhang Xuezhou suggested. "The imperial court's medical clinic is not a place for casual tricks. Fake tricks will hardly pass the test!" "Got it!"

Li Shaojun waved his hand, indicating that he would try his best and would not just deal with it casually.

This kind of thing corresponds to huge benefits and is worth his full effort.

Just thinking about how he had gone through so much trouble to find a great medicine, and how he could just reach out and grab hundreds of years old medicine in the imperial pharmacy, Li Shaojun couldn't contain his excitement.

It was a rare opportunity for the new emperor to send such an invitation, so Li Shaojun had to accept it, although a little risk was inevitable.

At worst, he still has Zhang Xuezhou to take the blame. Li Shaojun doesn't believe that Zhang Xuezhou won't help him if he gets into trouble.

He had a little idea in mind and decided to work hard to catch as much as he could.

"We Taoists are proficient in internal and external alchemy. There are only a few Taoist schools in the world that can surpass ours. I tell you that my alchemy skills are not exaggerated. As long as I study hard and you can provide materials for me to practice, I will definitely learn quickly," said Li Shaojun.

"cut!"

Zhang Xuezhou complained.

There are two major pitfalls in the Yin Yang Jiu Tian Sect. One is the formation, and the other is alchemy. Both of these pitfalls are very expensive and it is difficult to practice them without the support of a school.

Zhuo Bugui relied on the alchemy furnace inherited from the Jiutian Sect, someone sharpened his knife for him when he was chopping wood, and he was familiar with the profit relations of selling various elixirs. With all these conveniences, he was able to push the alchemy art to an extremely high level.

It is normal that Li Shaojun's level of pill refining is not good enough, and Zhang Xuezhou's alchemy skills have been average over the years.

Without sufficient medicinal resources, they had insufficient opportunities to practice and could not even refine low-level elixirs, let alone high-level and top-level elixirs.

Moreover, even up to now, Zhang Xuezhou doesn’t even have a magic alchemy furnace.

"You have to get a good treasure for making elixirs. At least this will make people think you are very capable," Zhang Xuezhou advised.

"I know this. I do this all the time, so how could I not know it?" Li Shaojun pointed at his upstart gold robe and said, "I will definitely make a good alchemy furnace. If it looks decent, it will shut up 80% of people!"

"Do you have it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"no!"

Li Shaojun responded very quickly, his eyes rolling around, obviously thinking of some bad idea.

"I heard that the Yin-Yang School has a water and fire furnace, and the head of that school is said to be dead." Li Shaojun whispered: "Do you have any news about that?"

"Yes, that alchemy furnace is in the secret realm of the Xieluochuan Holy Land!"

Seeing that Li Shaojun was targeting his own school of thought, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

"Then let's change one. The medical family has a long tradition. They..."

"they do not!"

"Xuanhu Sect..."

"Zheng Wukong is very poor, and the furnace he uses is of inferior quality!"

Li Shaojun mentioned several companies one after another. He stared at Zhang Xuezhou with wide eyes, feeling that the information Zhang Xuezhou gave was too direct. The result came out before anything was done.

"How do you know?" Li Shaojun said unconvincedly, "Are you so sure? What makes you so sure? Have you seen it? Have you searched their sect? Have you tortured them? Or have you already got it?"

"The Yin-Yang Family is my master, and the other two families are my neighbors. What else do you want to ask?" Zhang Xuezhou said speechlessly.

"Then let's find the next one!"

The one from Xieluochuan Holy Land cannot be obtained, and the one from the other two is also not available.

There are many reasons but no match for the fact that one is close to someone. Zhang Xuezhou's proximity to someone is a bit beyond the scope as he is connected to a bunch of schools that are good at alchemy. This leaves Li Shaojun speechless.
