Chapter 1299
"I won't hide it from Senior Immortal. The southwest area of Jingbo City … is relatively barren. Only those with slightly lower cultivation come here. Generally, those who come to the inn are middle-aged people. Of course, there are also very old people. There aren't many young people like Senior Immortal.
Presumably … Senior Immortal's cultivation is profound!
Since Senior Immortal's cultivation is profound, then … you must have a lot of immortal pills. "
Seeing that there was hope, the waiter's face flushed red. He stammered, "Actually … the most important thing is that the other Senior Immortals … don't even care about this lowly one. Senior Immortal actually … said 'thank you' to this lowly one!"
"Ah?
So it's like that! "
Xiao Hua didn't expect that saying the word 'thank you' would cause trouble. Alas, if it was the truth, he would accept it. Who told him to really have a healing Parasol Pill?
But who could guarantee that this waiter's words … weren't false?
"What should I do?" Xiao Hua was a bit embarrassed …
Should he give it or not???
Suddenly, Xiao Hua's eyes lit up. He seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared on his face. Without the slightest hesitation, he slightly turned around and took out a Parasol Pill from the space behind the waiter's back. Then, he patted his storage bag and handed the Parasol Pill to the waiter. He said with a smile, "Seeing that you are a filial son, how can I not help you?
This is a healing pill. Take it. It can be considered a meeting! "
"Ah?"
The waiter was even more surprised. He stared at the pill in disbelief. His hands trembled, but he didn't dare to reach out to take it.
Xiao Hua smiled and stuffed the jade bottle into the waiter's hand. He turned around and sized up the room. The room wasn't big, only one zhang in size. Apart from the necessary decorations, there was nothing else. It was abnormally simple and crude.
"Senior Immortal, thank you for your great kindness. This lowly one is called Fan Riguan. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell this lowly one. As long as this lowly one can do it, this lowly one will definitely satisfy you!" Behind him, the waiter knelt on the ground and said very sincerely.
Xiao Hua hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, "This is only an ordinary healing pill. It is used by cultivators to treat internal and external injuries. I don't know if this pill is effective or not. Don't thank me like this!"
Then, he continued, "However, this is I's only pill. As for the rest … even if you break your head, you won't get it!
Hmm, as for what it is?
Hehe, it's nothing. I'm also new here.
Oh, by the way, is there anyone selling yellow talismans? Talisman paper, talisman ink, etc.? "He knew nothing about Jingbo City, so he had a lot of questions to ask.
"Yes, yes, there are two beside the shop that I told you about. However, you'd better go to the one in the east. Although the shop is small, I heard that the owner is a disciple of some sect. He's very honest and won't bully customers!
By the way, the shop that sells medicinal pills and herbs that I mentioned just now, although it is close to the inn, but … the owner is not very good. If you have any business, you should walk a few more steps. Walk down the street, there is a shop called 'Mo Ling Cao Tang'. Although the shop is very small, but the reputation of the immortals there is very good! "The waiter quickly recommended.
"Hmm, this Wu Yao Pill is really useful!"
Xiao Hua was happy in his heart. Then, he activated the so-called formation in the room and retreated. He said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble the waiter to point out the direction for I!"
"I don't dare. Immortal elder, this way please!"
The waiter carefully put the Wu Yao Pill into his pocket and then said embarrassedly, "Immortal elder, I … I haven't asked for your Dharma name yet?"
"Dharma name?" Xiao Hua pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I's cultivation is shallow, how can I have a Dharma name?
I's surname is Xiao … "
"Oh, Daoist Xiao, I understand!" Without waiting for Xiao Hua to finish speaking, the waiter immediately cried out in joy.
"Daoist Xiao?" Xiao Hua smiled and secretly said, "This Dharma name seems pretty good!"
The waiter led Xiao Hua out of the inn. He originally wanted to lead Xiao Hua over, but how could Xiao Hua let him go?
He only let the waiter go back, and went himself.
At this time, the sky had already turned dark. On the street, there were a lot fewer cultivators, and it was a bit cold and cheerless. Xiao Hua looked around and walked towards a place not too far in front of him. He walked towards a shop that didn't look very big. However, after walking a few steps, a cloaked cultivator walked out from the inn at the side. This person's cloak was different in color and style from the one Xiao Hua saw before. But … but it gave Xiao Hua the same strange feeling. That person's cultivation, face, figure, and so on were all covered by this cloak. Not a trace of it could be seen.
Xiao Hua couldn't figure out this person's cultivation, but he knew that it was definitely higher than his. He hurriedly dodged to the side and let that person go first …
That cloaked person walked out from the inn. He didn't even look at Xiao Hua and directly walked past him, walking into the distance.
The instant this person walked past Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua stole a glance. That person's height was also the same as his.
"This cloak … there's definitely something wrong with it!" Xiao Hua was already certain. "I'll go back and ask that waiter!"
After seeing that person whose face and cultivation he couldn't see calmly walk away, Xiao Hua once again moved towards the shop not too far away.
The shop really wasn't too big. Just like what the waiter said, there was also an old man with white hair and beard inside. Beside him were several youths whose cultivation was only around the second layer of Qi Refining. They were greeting customers. Although it was already dusk, there were still a lot of people inside the shop!
After looking around, Xiao Hua walked away. First, that waiter already said that there was a better shop ahead. Second, he didn't want to attract the attention of others.
Following the direction pointed out by the waiter, he walked for a while and arrived at an inconspicuous place. Sure enough, there was another small shop. That small shop … was even smaller than the shabby yellow talisman shop he saw before. It only had a small door that could only allow one person to enter and exit at a time. There was also a shabby plaque on the door that said "Mo Spirit Herb Store".
Xiao Hua wasn't in a hurry to go forward. He stood at a corner not too far away from "Mo Spirit Herb Store" and quietly watched for a moment. He couldn't see the situation inside the shop from the outside, but during the time that Xiao Hua was standing there, no one came in or out. Moreover, there weren't many people on this street. Occasionally, a few people would hurriedly walk by and they wouldn't even glance at Xiao Hua!
"En, here it is!" Xiao Hua was very satisfied. If it wasn't for the waiter's guidance, he really wouldn't have been able to find this place.
After looking left and right and making sure that there wasn't anyone in the way, Xiao Hua tidied up his clothes and steadily walked over.
As soon as he stepped into "Mo Spirit Herb Store", Xiao Hua saw a row of black lacquered wood counters. The counters were only about half the height of a person. Behind the counters was a wall that flickered with a faint brilliance.
The inside of the shop was cold and cheerless. There was only a short old man with grizzled hair and a thin face. He held a thick book in his hand and was leaning against the counter. He seemed to be reading it with great interest under the brilliance of the wall.
When the old man heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head with an astonished expression. However, when he saw Xiao Hua's cultivation level, although he didn't show any disdain, he still lowered his head and kept his gaze on the pages of the book. His body that was leaning against the counter didn't even move!
Xiao Hua opened his eyes wide and sized up the shop that only had one person. His gaze then fell on the old man. The old man's cultivation level was around the fifth layer of the Qi Refining realm. He wore a shabby Daoist robe and held a book in one hand and his goatee in the other. He had a rather complacent appearance.
"Cough cough ~" Xiao Hua coughed twice and approached the old man.
The old man rolled his eyes and moved his gaze away from the book. He coldly asked: "Fellow Daoist … what brings you here?"
Xiao Hua wrinkled his brows and said in a deep voice: "Is this how Fellow Daoist welcomes guests?"
"Hmph, my sect opened a shop in Jingbo City, so we naturally have to welcome guests!
But … if Fellow Daoist is a … loose cultivator who intends to take advantage of others, I … won't welcome you! "The old man lowered his eyelids and no longer paid attention to Xiao Hua.
"This … this is what Fan Riguan meant by a good reputation?" Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua asked: "How did Fellow Daoist know that I'm a loose cultivator?"
The old man slanted his eyes at him and sneered: "Around twenty years old and only at the second layer of the Qi Refining realm. If you were in a cultivation sect, not to mention a large sect, even my Mo Ling Sect … would only be a boy growing grass. How could we let you leave the mountain?
Besides, the sky is about to turn dark. If you weren't a loose cultivator, you would've already been together with your master. Who would stroll around like you? "
When Xiao Hua heard this, he unconsciously didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These two reasons were really too far-fetched!
"Hmph, this is what you mean by a good reputation?" Xiao Hua sneered: "I wrongly accused someone of recommending your Mo Ling Herb Store!"
"Recommending?
Which loose cultivator?
Hehe, did you take advantage of me? "The old man closed the book and placed it on the counter as he sneered.
"Took advantage?"
Xiao Hua immediately came to his senses and cupped his hands: "Junior's surname is Xiao. I was introduced by the inn's Fan Riguan!"
"Fan Riguan?
That silly boy who asked for medicine for his mother? "The old man was clearly stunned.
"Yes, it's him!"
Xiao Hua nodded: "Fan Riguan asked for medicine for his mother. Of course, his filial piety is commendable. What's there to be silly about?"
Soon after, Xiao Hua looked at the counter and sneered: "On the contrary, some cultivators clearly have a lot of medicinal pills, but they don't extend their hands to help. They even call others silly!"
"What do you know???"
The old man almost jumped up. He pointed his finger at Xiao Hua's nose and said: "The physique of a secular person can only use the medicinal herbs of a secular person. How can the medicinal pills of a cultivator be taken by a secular person?
I don't know where that Fan brat heard it from, but he insisted on asking for an immortal pill for his mother!
First of all, my medicinal pills are public property of the sect. I alone can't make the decision. Even if I gave him the medicinal pills, there are countless medicinal pills here. Which one would I give to him?
Even if I gave it to him, if his mother took it, wouldn't it … immediately disappear?
It would be better if she didn't take it! "
Hearing this, Xiao Hua's heart thumped. He cursed inwardly. How could he have forgotten about this matter?
Seeing Xiao Hua's expression greatly change, the old man resentfully said: "Could it be that some little loose cultivator with a conscience gave him the medicinal pills that he scrimped on?"
