Longevity Fairy: Fairy Please Stay Away

Chapter 60 The old fox's calculation
"Shang Yunfeng owed me a bet of one hundred high-grade spirit stones because of Ji Daoyou. Although the account has not been seen yet, how can I let Ji Daoyou be busy?"

Shopkeeper Hu chuckled, took out a bag of Lingshi from the storage bag and put it on the table, and then gently pushed it in front of him.

"I'll give half of the bet out of my own pocket first, and it's right as a meeting gift for Fellow Daoist Ji to take up my post as guest secretary of the cabinet."

"..."

Hearing this, Bo Chang's eyes narrowed slightly...

Since he entered Fangshi, whether he was selling pills or buying cultivation resources, he only went to the old signboard with a guaranteed reputation. What he was trying to do was to be careful and cautious...

But where there are people, there is a conflict of interest. I have been so careful, I never thought that I would still be involved in the storm.

Moreover, it is the hostility of a second-rank alchemist to enter it once it is rolled in.

There is a high probability that what the shopkeeper Hu said is true, but his thoughts are definitely not as simple as what he said...

Shang Yunfeng formed a gang in the Baibao Pavilion, and wanted to take him out of the way to replace him as the shopkeeper.

It also means that there are now two factions in Baibao Pavilion in No. [-] Square of Xianxia Mountain, one is headed by shopkeeper Hu, and the other is headed by Shang Yunfeng.

I didn't know about it, so I plunged into this turmoil of fighting for power and profit.

And shopkeeper Hu set up a bet with this, not only defrauding Shang Yunfeng of 100 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, but also pushing himself to the opposite of Shang Yunfeng.

To put it simply, it is to force yourself to stand in line!

The most important thing is that he was forced to stand in line without knowing it. Even if he wants to go to Monk Yunfeng to reconcile now, he may not believe it.

None of these people are easy to get along with...

Ji Bochang sorted out the twists and turns, glanced at the spirit stone on the table, and said unmoved: "The meeting gift of shopkeeper Hu is too generous."

"The bet is all due to Ji Daoyou, and this is only half, it is not very rich."

Shopkeeper Hu just shook his head with a smile, and then said bluntly: "If Ji Daoyou is willing to help me, we will advance and retreat together, and after I get rid of Shang Yunfeng's little trouble, I will offer the remaining half of this bet as an apology. "

His voice paused, but he still smiled kindly and asked: "I don't know how the friendship will go?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ji Bochang thought with his eyes slightly concentrated, and then he thought of something.

Unmoved, he pushed back the spirit stone on the table, shook his head and said, "Ji is soft-spoken and his cultivation level is still low, so he doesn't want to lose his life for no reason."

"Ji Daoyou don't need to worry too much..."

Shopkeeper Hu said with relief: "Although Shang Yunfeng is narrow-minded, he is not stupid. After he regains his senses and figured out the reason, he can guess that it was my setup."

"..."

"He's just blaming me, Mr. Hu, and he has nothing to do with Daoyou Ji. Besides, in Fangshi, he wouldn't dare to be unfavorable to you Daoji Ji."

"..."

"Ji Daoyou's cultivation base is a bit low. It just so happened that I received a small bottle of Essence Essence Milk a few years ago."

Seeing that he was silent, shopkeeper Hu immediately pushed the Lingshi on the table in front of him again, and then took out a small jade bottle from the storage bag and put it beside him.

He explained with a smile: "Spiritual marrow milk is a rare treasure. It has always been priced but not sold. Just this small bottle, it is worth ten years of hard work by a fellow Taoist~"

"Spiritual marrow milk..."

Ji Bo often heard that his breath became stagnant.

He has also heard about the treasure of spiritual marrow milk...

This thing usually appears in the depths of the Lingshi mine where the spiritual energy has been condensed for many years. Due to some mysterious changes, the spiritual energy has condensed into a milky substance that can be directly absorbed and refined by monks...

And once the spirit stone mine is excavated, the spirit energy will dissipate, and the spirit essence milk will no longer be formed.

In contrast, taking elixir to practice will cause 'erysipelas' to accumulate in the body, and it has to be taken for a long time;
Taking spiritual marrow milk for practice not only does not have the after-effects of stagnant 'erysipelas', but also directly increases the cultivation level after refining. It is not an exaggeration to say that its preciousness is priceless.

"You don't need to worry about Ji Daoyou..."

Shopkeeper Hu tapped the table lightly with his hands, and said with a smile: "I believe Fellow Daoist Ji can also see that I, Mr. Hu, have no evil intentions. Otherwise, using these things to buy the life of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be enough."

His voice paused, and he said mockingly: "It's just that Mr. Hu is getting older, but he is timid. He would rather make friends with a young hero like Ji Daoyou than take that risk~"

"Shopkeeper Hu is too polite..."

Ji Bochang's heart shuddered when he heard the words, and he thought to himself.

Now that I am a second-rank alchemist, if I want to be a guest minister in this Baibao Pavilion, it is impossible to avoid the problem of standing in line.

As for shopkeeper Hu and Shang Yunfeng, he has been in contact with them for a short time. Based on the bet just now and the current situation, Shang Yunfeng is definitely not the opponent of the old fox in front of him.

Shopkeeper Hu's move is obviously trying to win him over;
But at the same time, it is also a warning in disguise!

After figuring out the reason, he casually touched the jade bottle containing the essence milk on the table, played with it, and said, "This spirit essence milk is pretty good."

"Hehehehe~"

Shopkeeper Hu smiled knowingly when he heard the words, and said: "If you like Ji Daoyou, this spiritual essence milk will also be added as a meeting gift for Ji Daoyou to join my cabinet."

"Ji is not a combative person in his life, so he only likes to study some minor skills."

"With me standing in front, there's no need to fight, Fellow Daoist Ji~"

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and waved his hands, and said, "You just need to put in some effort to help me complete the alchemy task sent by the Chief Pavilion."

Ji Bochang didn't dare to promise him anything, and asked: "Ji only heard from Shopkeeper Hu that there was a task to be issued by the General Pavilion, but he didn't know what kind of task it was?"

"I have already extracted the task of alchemy."

Shopkeeper Hu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, took out a piece of manuscript paper and handed it to him, and said: "The mission sent by your Excellency has high requirements for the composition of the pills, so I have to trouble Fellow Daoist Ji to spend some time thinking about it."

"Every ten years, [-] bottles each of Zongge Heqi Pill, Guiyuan Pill, Ganlin Pill, Wujin Pill, Xuepo Pill, and Jingang Pill should be offered, or three bottles of top-quality Pill."

Seeing the task of alchemy, Ji Bo couldn't help sucking his breath through his teeth, and secretly sighed that the requirement of "taking some thought" is really not low.

If it is a pill, let alone fifty bottles of high-quality pills in ten years, it is a hundred bottles each, and he can refine it by gritting his teeth...

But these are all second-rank pills, no matter the success rate or the difficulty of refining high-quality pills, they are far from comparable to first-rank pills!

"Ji Daoyou don't have to make things difficult..."

Shopkeeper Hu saw his distressed face, and immediately smiled and said in relief: "The task assigned by the Chief Pavilion is to be completed by the entire Baibao Pavilion in No. [-] Square City, so how can you bear it all?
I have been operating in No. [-] Square City for more than a hundred years, and I also know some friends. You only need half of the refining task, fellow Ji Daoyou, and I can make up for the remaining half by myself. "

"That's more or less."

Ji Bochang's expression softened, and then he seemed to think of something, and asked rather puzzlingly: "Didn't it mean that the main ingredients for refining the second-rank pills are hard to find? How to solve the problem of the main ingredients?"

"It's hard to find the main ingredients for refining second-rank pills, but that's only for outsiders."

Shopkeeper Hu pointedly smiled and said: "Ji Daoyou is now my cabinet's guest secretary, a member of my own family, and it is an official business issued by the president, so how can it be hard to find reason?"

"If so..."

Ji Bochang pondered for a while, put the Essence Essence Milk in his hand into the storage bag, stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then Ji will be disrespectful."

"Hahaha~"

Seeing this, shopkeeper Hu clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "I assure you, Daoyou Ji will not regret the decision you made today."

Ji Bochang said seriously: "Ji valued affection the most in his life. Since he agreed to advance and retreat with shopkeeper Hu, how can he regret it?"

"Good~good~good!!"

Shopkeeper Hu said hello three times in succession, but his face turned rosy, and he said with a smile: "With the help of Daoist Ji, I can kick that fellow out of the game!"
