Cultivating immortals is a hard job

It was the first time that Mo Xun saw such an old cultivator.

He couldn't help but sigh. Although cultivators can generally delay aging, as long as they can't get past the Qi training stage, he will eventually become like this.

The old woman leaned on a cane, glanced at him, and asked indifferently: "What do you need, fellow Daoist?"

Mo Xun had no hope after seeing this somewhat shabby shop, but since he was here, he might as well ask a few more questions.

Like the previous times, he took out a piece of white paper and put it on the counter.

"Fellow Daoist, can you help me see if the spiritual medicine here can be gathered together?"

The old woman glanced at it casually, then raised her head and looked at him with some interest.

"It seems that fellow Daoist, you want to refine the Biling Pill?"

Mo Xun showed a little surprise on his face, but in a flash, he understood.

Presumably, the ancient elixir formula is not a secret. The shopkeeper can tell it at a glance with only seven or eight spiritual herbs, which means that he has studied the elixir formula!

"It seems that fellow Taoist already knows why I came. I wonder if your store can provide all the spiritual herbs in the elixir formula?"

The old woman smiled, but in Mo Xun's eyes, it always felt a little cold.

"How many stores have you asked?"

Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the other party meant.

"Seven or eight!"

"Then you should already know that what you have in your hand is an ancient pill recipe. Most of the spiritual herbs in it no longer exist. Why bother asking me?"

Mo Xun sighed lightly: "I am new here and don't know many things. I am sorry to make you laugh!"

"Nothing. I also came from a casual cultivator. When I was young, I also knew only a little about such things."

Mo Xun nodded and asked: "Since you know the ancient pill recipe, can you tell me which spiritual herbs in the recipe have become extinct?"

The old woman pointed her finger in the air, and a book on the shelf flew into the air and landed in front of Mo Xun.

"Collection of Herbs and Trees"

"Here is what you want to know, two spiritual stones!"

Mo Xun flipped through it casually and found that it also recorded some spiritual herbs and spiritual objects, but the number was much less than his "Record of Ten Thousand Herbs".

He immediately understood that the records here were probably the herbs that still exist in the world.

Delighted, Mo Xun quickly took out two spiritual stones. With this book, he solved the problem he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

"You're welcome!"

The old woman suddenly smiled strangely, and then said: "But I still want to advise fellow Taoist, you are now so advanced in cultivation, I believe you must have a great opportunity, you still need to practice more in the future, don't waste your energy on useless alchemy, otherwise when I am this old, it will be too late to regret!"

Logically speaking, these words from the other party can be regarded as a kind of reminder to him, but Mo Xun frowned after hearing it.

He always felt that the old woman's words seemed to have a hint.

But after changing his mind, he felt that it was unlikely. After all, the other party's cultivation was only two levels higher than his. What could he see?

It seems that he has encountered too many things recently, which makes him a little suspicious!

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Mo Xun thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Do you have a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine?"

The old woman nodded: "Of course, do you have a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine?"

Mo Xun then took out a jade box from the storage bag and placed it on the counter.

"Daoyou, please take a look first!"

The old woman didn't think much about it, and opened the jade box casually. Her eyes lit up and she said: "Yes, this plant of beard tail flower is at least two hundred years old. Judging from its appearance, it seems to have just been unearthed."

"I wonder how much you can bid?"

To be honest, Mo Xun is really short of spiritual stones for the time being, and he can only sell some of the spiritual herbs in reserve.

"I won't lie to you. This kind of spiritual herb can be sold for about 150 spiritual stones on the market. If it is taken to the auction house, it may be higher, but the price fluctuates, and it will not exceed 20 spiritual stones."

Mo Xun nodded. This price is basically within his psychological expectations.

At the same time, he also felt a little sorry for the spiritual herb he gave away today. He paid an extra fifty spiritual stones, which was almost equivalent to two green spirit pills!

"Daoyou, have you thought about it and are you going to sell it to me?"

Mo Xun was silent for a while. After hearing the other party mention the auction, he hesitated for a while.

But after thinking about it, he felt it was too troublesome. Who knows when this kind of auction will be held again? He can't stop practicing for twenty spiritual stones.

"Just sell it to Daoyou!"

The old woman smiled and nodded: "Daoyou, wait a moment, I will get the spiritual stones for you!"

"Wait a minute!"

As he spoke, Mo Xun's long sleeves brushed across the counter, and two more jade boxes appeared.

"Daoyou, please take a look, can you accept all of these?"

The old woman looked at him doubtfully, and then opened the two jade boxes one by one, and the expression on her face became more and more exciting.

"Daoyou is really good, no wonder you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age!"

Mo Xun smiled slightly, and did not speak in a hurry. He knew that he was taking a risk now.

The ancients said that a man is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure!

He took out so many hundred-year-old elixirs at once, and if the other party had any evil intentions, he would get into unnecessary trouble.

But he had his own thoughts.

From all the signs just now, she had a bold guess in her heart that the old woman in front of her might be an alchemist.

Since she could recognize the ancient recipe of the Biling Pill, then the other party might have a modified recipe in her hand.

"Do you want to sell all these spiritual medicines to me?"

"Yes, but not!"

The old woman looked at him with a smile, with some interest on her face.

"Oh? It seems that you are here to see other things?"

Mo Xun nodded. Talking to smart people is sometimes so easy.

"May I ask you, do you have the real Biling Pill recipe?"

The old woman looked at him approvingly, and then said: "Yes, do you want to buy it?"

Mo Xun was a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party really had the recipe just because he said it casually.

"That's right, I wonder if you are willing to sell it?"

The old woman smiled and said jokingly: "Do you know how precious a pill recipe is?"

"I understand what you mean. Any pill recipe is the result of the hard work of countless generations of alchemists. It is priceless! But I never believe that there are priceless things in this world. It's just a matter of whether the price is right!"

The old woman nodded and became more and more interested in the young man in front of her!
