My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 12: One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoals
This really stumped Su Qingchan. She was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."

After entering the room and making a cup of tea, Su Qingchan asked, "Where are you from and who are you looking for?"

"Is your father here?" Chen Lang asked.

Su Qingchan was shocked and stood up suddenly. "Are you really my long-lost sister? Or my younger sister?"

Chen Lang said, "No, I'm here to ask you to offer sacrifices."

"Oh."

Su Qingchan breathed a sigh of relief. "My father has gone out to discuss business, but the worshiper has been in seclusion at home. Are you a relative of the worshiper?"

Chen Lang nodded.

Su Qingchan thought to herself, since they were enshrining such an old person, this must be her granddaughter, or maybe even her great-granddaughter.

It turns out that greedy bastard also has a family?

Thinking this in her heart, Su Qingchan was still polite, not targeting the person. She told someone to notify the worshiper, and then took Chen Lang's hand, "Sister, your hands are so delicate, how do you maintain them normally?"

“It’s not been well maintained.”

"That means she is naturally beautiful." Su Qingchan chuckled, "Those who practice Taoism are indeed different."

Chen Lang remained calm, "Qingchan, how is your cultivation now?"

Su Qingchan smiled and said, "I just learned a few small skills, it's nothing to worry about."

Chen Lang covered his mouth and chuckled, "You are really good at lying. It's spreading all over the place."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingchan's expression changed slightly, but he relaxed after hearing the rest.

"People say that you and Ye Wenlong are equally strong, and you are a rare genius that only appears once in a century."

"Thank you for the compliment, sister." Su Qingchan smiled stiffly, not wanting to talk about this topic. "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Chen Qian." he said.

Then he generously pulled Su Qingchan's arm and said, "Your skin is better than mine."

Let me check your true level of cultivation.

Chen Lang pinched the pulse gate and silently used his Qi, but Su Qingchan sensed something and suddenly let go, "Sister, this is a bit rude."

"Oops, sorry, I was just a little curious."

Chen Lang had no choice but to give up and check the unhealed bump on Su Qingchan's head. He was immediately distressed, "Who hit her? Who hit her so hard? They really don't know how to be gentle with women."

He held her hand again and said, "You must practice well. We will probably see each other often in the future."

Su Qingchan always felt that this person was being sarcastic. After all, the news had spread widely, but she couldn't produce any evidence.

After some greetings, the servant reported, "The priest said he knew, let her go."

Chen Lang went alone.

……

"Hehe, boy, you young people really know how to have fun. You play with the Su family like this, do you think there is no one at home?"

As soon as Chen Lang walked outside the cave in the back mountain, he heard the voice.

He knew he had been discovered, but he was not worried because he had evidence against him. He asked, "Old man, how is your puppet?"

"What else?"

The old priest was furious when he heard this. "There is something wrong with that Ye. I suspect someone is behind him. My puppet was burned. You have to pay for it."

Chen Lang sneered, "Okay, if you help me clear the charges and clear my name, I will compensate you."

The old priest sneered, "You caused this trouble yourself, what does it have to do with me? Listen to my advice, the whole city is looking for you now, leave Qingzhou City quickly.

Of course, it's fine if you give me away, but I'm not sure who will believe it."

"When did I betray you? I'm keeping my mouth shut!" Chen Lang said solemnly, "I have other things to do today. How about cooperating with you again?"

"I refuse." The old priest said, "I want to go into seclusion."

Chen Lang continued, "It concerns the entire Su family."

"What the hell does the Su family have to do with me?"

The old priest's indifferent words surprised Chen Lang, "Aren't you the Su family's priest? How come it's none of your business?"

Then he heard a sneer, "This Su Dafu is obsessed with sending his daughter away, so he needs me to stay in charge and support his family business. When his wish is fulfilled and he doesn't work hard on his career, who will give me money? Who will give me the resources to practice?
The fact that I am still here today is already a kindness to them."

Chen Lang sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about what you said today?"

"You can try and see whether the Su family will listen to me or you." The old priest sneered disdainfully. Not to mention whether the head of the Su family believed it or not, even if he believed it, he would not dare to do anything to him. It was not so easy to invite a priest.

Chen Lang was speechless. He could have used the Su family as a threat, but the old priest was unmoved. How could he order him around? "But I'm interested in listening. How do you want me to cooperate?" a voice came from his ear.

Chen Lang said, "Didn't your Su family issue a warrant for my arrest early on? You can pretend to chase me, and I'll give you a reward then."

"that's it?"

"That's it." Chen Lang said, "I can give you an earth escape talisman."

"You have a beautiful idea!"

The old priest scolded, "Boy, don't think I don't know what you think. You want me to hunt you down, and then you tell others about the puppet you borrowed to clear your name.

My reputation is just average to begin with, and if I go after you again, and you say I'm killing you to silence you and prevent future trouble, they'll have to believe me even if they don't want to, right?"

Chen Lang was speechless.

You are quite self-aware?

"I really don't think so." Chen Lang denied, "I swear to God."

"If swearing to the heavens was useful, the group of alchemists outside would have been killed long ago, the disciples and elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect would have been killed long ago, and the eight kings of the ancient immortal era would have been transformed into Dao long ago!"

The old priest ruthlessly refused, "From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other, and you'd better not come to me!"

……

Chen Lang left depressed.

Old man, you are ignoring me, right?

The last person who dared to ignore me was kidnapped by me.

Su Qingchan has always been concerned about him. Now seeing Chen Lang walking back with a lonely look, she has some guesses in her mind.

"Were you quarrelling?"

Chen Lang nodded and planned in his mind how to lure out the old man.

According to the mission requirements, we only need to pursue him for 24 hours, and then the mission will be completed, so the pursuit will also be considered a pursuit, right?

Su Qingchan saw that she was worried and guessed about 70% of it. She sighed:

"Sister Chen, don't be sad. It's inevitable for a family to not quarrel."

She had a big fight with her father two days ago, so her feelings are understandable.

Chen Lang thought for a moment, "Old Man, he said he was going to retreat, is that true?"

"Yes."

Su Qingchan nodded, "He said a month ago that he wanted to break through to the late stage of foundation building, but I heard that he has been collecting materials and will start soon."

Chen Lang thought, no wonder, but who will do my mission if you are in seclusion?

Alas, there is a solution.

Chen Lang's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm going out to do something. I'll be back in time. Please pick me up."

Su Qingchan was very happy to see her regain her spirits, and immediately said:

"The old priest has done my family a favor. We are all family. I will give you a pass later and you can come anytime.

Don't be discouraged, the old priest has a bit of a strange temper, but he's still a very nice person, and there's no conflict that can't be resolved among the family."

"Thank you, my dear sister."

Chen Lang went up to give him a hug, and then received a deck of passes and even a whole bag of silver for travel expenses. Of course, he refused to refuse.

What is the value of the heroine?
Give me lots of gold coins.

After leaving the Su family, Chen Lang came to the market.

Buy sulfur in the East Market, buy saltpeter in the West Market, and buy charcoal in the North Market.

The first two pharmacies were able to get it, although not in such large quantities. However, the store owners agreed to his request because of his good looks and urgently purchased dozens of kilograms of goods.

Chen Lang deeply realized what beauty is capital.

As for charcoal, it was even easier. He went to a charcoal seller and picked out the smokeless charcoal, and asked him to grind it into the finest powder. Not even a grain of silver was used.

If sugar weren't so hard to buy in this world, and aluminum powder was even harder to get, he would have definitely taken some drastic measures.

Lao Deng, you want to go into seclusion, right?
Blast it hard for me!
