Chapter 42
Purple City, dark streets.

This is a magnificent palace, with gorgeous patterns painted on the walls. Four-clawed glass dragons are coiled on the four vermilion pillars. The spacious space is filled with shelves that go straight to the roof. The upper grid is filled with boxes, boxes, or various exposed treasures, large and small.

There are fluorescent swords, square black stones, a burning bead, and lifelike colorful puppets... You can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary things.

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked among the shelves, carefully looking at the various treasures on the shelves, with complicated eyes: full of memories, full of pride, and full of regret.

At this time, a young man in blue attire walked into the underground palace: "Master, Mrs. Xu sent a pill, saying it was going to be put into the Yizi library."

The middle-aged man in brocade robes did not answer, but asked: "How long have you been working in the dark streets?"

"It's been 14 years since I was adopted by my owner when I was six years old." The young man answered truthfully.

"Hey, 14 years." The middle-aged man sighed: "I have been Liu Wang's dog for 14 years, and I finally killed him. Now I don't know whose dog I want to be."

The sigh turned into indignation: "It's a pity that the business that my family has saved for generations is always taken a fancy by these superior guys, treated as fat meat, divided piece by piece, and swallowed!"

Indignation turned into anger: "This is what my family has accumulated! It's my thing! My blood! My flesh! They are eating my flesh and blood!"

The anger turned into calm: "The Chu family, the Shangguan family, the Luo family, the Shen family...all of them are coming to visit me. Which family should I seek refuge with?"

"It all depends on the master!" The young man bowed.

"Just say what you say!" The middle-aged man was unhappy: "You are a very smart person, but he just likes to hide his clumsiness!"

"I think...it's better to choose the Yan family!" The young man gave his opinion.

"The Royal Family..." the middle-aged man muttered: "But the Royal Family is also in a state of flux now. There are no one, old or young, who can take charge of their own business."

"Of course it can't be done now. We have to wait until next year's Dragon Palace to recruit a son-in-law!" the young man explained.

"But, they are all coming to our door! How can we survive next year!" The middle-aged man sighed again.

"You have to hold on even if you can't. If you are a dog, you have to be the dog of the strongest!" The young man said loudly!

"You can see clearly!" The middle-aged man praised and waved: "Bring it here, what kind of elixir is it?"

The young man stood up and handed over the small box in his hand: "Mrs. Xu said it was called [Yuxiao Shengling Pill]. It was confirmed that it was a spiritual pill, but its efficacy was unknown. She said it was temporarily stored in the treasury."

"I've never heard of it. If I don't know the efficacy, I'll just accept it? How much did it cost?" The middle-aged man got to the point.

"Said it was ten thousand gold! The other party went to Gongzi Pavilion to buy magical powers." The young man reported.

"What? Ten thousand gold? Just bought a pill?" The middle-aged man was furious: "This prodigal bitch! See if I don't deal with her when I get back!"

"No, this was decided by Mrs. Qu. Mrs. Xu was not sure, so she asked Mrs. Qu to help." The young man explained quickly.

"Oh? Even Mrs. Qu is not sure?" The middle-aged man became interested, opened the box, and looked at it carefully.

Unfortunately, he looked at it for a while and couldn't see anything.

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man said: "Then let's not store it in the warehouse now! If you don't know the efficacy of elixirs, how can you store them in the warehouse? How will you sell them in the future?"

"But, I just took this one..."

"You have to try even one pill!" The middle-aged man interrupted: "Isn't Hei San's price backfired now? Call him over and see if the magic pill is effective."

"Then do you want to call Mrs. Xu and the others?"

"Call everyone, go to Qixia Hall!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and issued the order.

...Soon, a beautiful hall was filled with people.

The middle-aged man takes the main seat, and the young people stand behind him. On the left are the beautiful young lady Mrs. Xu and the elderly Mrs. Qu. On the right is the shopkeeper of the medicine store, a little old man.

Half-kneeling in the middle of the hall was a burly man with a dark complexion and a sluggish expression.

"Is your price getting better?" The middle-aged man was concerned for a moment.

"Tell the master, Hei San can take action!" The sturdy man gave an answer that was not an answer: "Master, please give the order!"

"I'm not asking you to take action! I spent [-] gold on this new elixir, which is very spiritual." The middle-aged man explained: "I think it will have some effect on your backlash."

Then, he looked to one side and said, "Yao Lao, why don't you give him half a pill first?"

"No!" The little old man objected decisively: "Elixirs are no better than powdered medicines. This elixir is full of spirituality, the elixir patterns are harmonious, and it has become a whole. If it is divided, the medicinal properties will be greatly damaged!"

"Forget it, if you can get one, you can get the second!" The middle-aged man ordered: "Heisan, take the medicine!"

The burly man didn't say anything. He took the box containing the grass elixir from the little old man's hand, took it out, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The beautiful young woman and old lady next to them had blue eyes flashing.

The sturdy man sat cross-legged on the ground, and an abundant spiritual energy emanated from his belly.

There were all masters in the hall, and they had obviously sensed this obvious spiritual energy fluctuation. Their expressions changed, and their eyes were fixed on Hei San.

Visible to the naked eye, the black color on Hei San's face began to fade, getting lighter and lighter, from black to gray, from gray to white, and finally turned into skin as delicate as pink milk.

His spirit was no longer sluggish, and a bloody battle momentum unique to a strong martial artist rose up, and the fierce murderous intention seemed to have turned into reality.

However, the spiritual energy was still dissipating and fluctuating, washing over his body one after another.

Everyone in the hall looked surprised and looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Finally, the fluctuations of spiritual energy dissipated. Hei San slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the elixir! I am completely healed!"

"How do you feel now?" The middle-aged man's voice was urgent.

"All the costs are gone!" Hei San reported truthfully: "Besides, I feel... I seem to be stronger!"

He waved his fist, and there was an explosion in the air. He stretched his arm forward again, and it quickly turned black, and then quickly grew in size. When the fist was almost as big as four or five of his own heads, it quickly shrank again, and returned to its original shape. size.

Then he closed his eyes and thought about it for a while: "It seems...even the cost of using magical powers has been reduced a lot...originally, well, it wasn't so easy originally."

"By the way, how did the elixir seller explain its effects?" the middle-aged man asked.

"It is said that it can sublimate magical powers and reverse the cost." Mrs. Xu still had a look of surprise on her face: "I thought he was exaggerating... I didn't expect it to be true!"

"How much has your cost been reduced?" the middle-aged man confirmed again.

After thinking for a while, Hei San said: "Almost reduced by half!"

"Find this person!" The middle-aged man agreed: "We must find this person!"

"I remember, he said that he was from the Liuhe Sect. The elders of the sect participated in the Qiufengyuan War, and he did not come alone." Mrs. Xu confirmed: "He also bought magical powers. He should collect spiritual materials to practice... It should be combined It’s not hard to find!”
