Chapter 1300
When Xiao Hua heard this, he felt great regret. His face was ashen as he cupped his hands and said, "Junior is a little loose cultivator with a great conscience!
Junior has disturbed you. "
Saying this, Xiao Hua didn't dare to delay and turned to leave the store.
"You … you really gave the medicinal pill to him?"
The old man was clearly stunned. His figure fluttered as he flew out from the counter and blocked in front of Xiao Hua. He asked curiously, "You're a little loose cultivator. Even a medicinal pill is difficult to obtain. How could you so easily give it to a secular brat you don't know?"
"Senior, please step aside. Junior will quickly go and retrieve the medicinal pill. Don't make a big mistake!" Xiao Hua was a little anxious.
"No hurry. Kid Fan lives in the west of the city.
It's a day's journey from here. If he wants to go back, he'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. You can go back tonight and ask him for it! "The old man's face had eased a lot.
"Oh, so it's like that!"
Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the old man and said, "Although we are cultivators, we were also raised by our parents. Putting ourselves in their shoes, if junior's parents were sick, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, junior would fight for it. What Fan Riguan did … was also junior's doing!"
"Good!"
The old man clapped and said, "I didn't expect loose cultivators to have such a strange person like Fellow Daoist. This is the first time I've seen one!
If other loose cultivators had half of Fellow Daoist's kindness, I wouldn't be cheated so often! "
Xiao Hua knew what others thought of loose cultivators and didn't want to say anything. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior should let junior go back first. If junior doesn't get the Parasol Pill back, junior's heart won't be at ease!"
"Parasol Pill?"
The old man was stunned, then he waved his hand and said with a smile, "No matter, no matter. The Parasol Pill is only a low-grade medicinal pill. It only has some special effects in treating internal and external injuries. It doesn't have too strong of a medicinal effect. If a secular person takes it, it won't harm their life. You can rest assured about this!"
"Really?" Xiao Hua said happily.
"Yes, I have cultivated medicine and refined pills for dozens of years. Would I lie to you?" The old man said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. Don't do bad things with good intentions!" Xiao Hua was relieved.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you here to buy some pills?" The old man asked with a smile. His attitude was completely different from before!
"For Fellow Daoist Xiao's kindness, I can give you the profits!"
"Thank you, Senior. I still haven't asked for Senior's Dharma name!" Xiao Hua said.
"What Dharma name?
My surname is Liang. You can call me Fellow Daoist Liang! "The old man replied straightforwardly.
"I don't dare. Senior Liang, this junior is not here to buy pills." Xiao Hua looked at the old man and said, "This junior has some spiritual grasses that I want to sell to senior!"
"Spirit Grass?"
The old man wasn't surprised. He only shook his head slightly and said, "My Mo Ling Sect doesn't lack any spiritual herbs. If it's pills, I can consider it. But spiritual herbs … don't even think about it!"
"What if it's … a spiritual herb that's over a hundred years old?" Xiao Hua finally asked.
"Over a hundred years?"
The old man frowned and said, "That also depends on what kind of spiritual herb it is. If it's Absorption Fruit, Exquisite Grass, and the like, I definitely want it without hesitation. But if it's other spiritual herbs, I can't guarantee it!"
In the space behind Xiao Hua's head, all the spiritual herbs were already close to two hundred years old. Even the Exquisite Grass had sprouted. However, spiritual herbs like Absorption Fruit and Exquisite Grass were used to refine Peiyuan Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill. Not to mention that Xiao Hua himself had them, even if he wanted to take them out, he might not necessarily have the courage to do so!
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Liang must be joking. This junior just happened to obtain some spiritual herbs in a remote place. I only wanted to exchange them for some spirit stones. How could I have such precious things?"
"En, okay. Fellow Daoist Xiao, take them out and let me have a look. If it's possible … I will fulfill your wish!" The old man didn't hold back and said with a smile.
"Okay ~" Xiao Hua patted the abnormally small storage pouch on his waist. More than ten different kinds of spiritual herbs were taken out. They were the ones that he had already chosen.
Seeing these spiritual herbs, the old man's eyes lit up. He looked at them one by one and a trace of a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Seeing the old man smile, Xiao Hua also let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He secretly said, "They must be pleasing to my eyes!"
Sure enough, when the old man finished looking, he smiled and said, "Not bad. Fellow Daoist Xiao, although these spiritual herbs aren't the main ingredients, they're valuable in terms of age. Even in my Mo Ling Sect, spiritual herbs of this age are rare!
Fellow Daoist Xiao, you're lucky! "
"Hehe, I don't dare. This junior has lived for so long, but this is also the first time I've encountered such a thing!" Xiao Hua said modestly, "I wonder if these spiritual herbs …"
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't worry. Although these spiritual herbs aren't valuable, they can still be considered rare. I don't even come across them once a month. How can I not accept them?"
The old man said with a smile, "I think Fellow Daoist Xiao also knows that the main ingredients of a hundred years old plant should be a mid-grade spirit stone. Although this spiritual herb isn't the main ingredient, it's a hundred and eighty years old plant. I can also take out a mid-grade spirit stone. What do you think?"
"Ah?
A mid-grade spirit stone? "
Xiao Hua's mouth opened. He was extremely pleasantly surprised. He didn't think that a hundred years old spiritual herb would be so valuable!
Seeing that Xiao Hua was pleasantly surprised, the old man also smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that Fellow Daoist Xiao was lucky?
Among your spiritual herbs, several of them are supplementary ingredients for my Mo Ling Sect's special pills. This kind of aged spiritual herb is exactly what my sect needs. If it were other sects, they might not be able to pay such a high price! "
"En," Xiao Hua slightly nodded and secretly said, "As expected, their reputation is pretty good!"
"Then … I'll have to ask Senior Liang to pay the spirit stone!" Xiao Hua replied.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao won't raise the price?" The old man was obviously stunned.
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. How could there be such a person?
Even letting others raise the price?
"No, Senior Liang is so frank. Junior will also put myself in your shoes!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said.
"What a good 'put yourself in my shoes'!" The old man sighed with emotion. "If all the loose cultivators were like you, they wouldn't …"
Speaking up to here, he didn't say anything else. He only waved his hand and put all the spiritual herbs into his storage pouch. Then, he took out nearly twenty mid-grade spirit stones and placed them on the counter. He said with a smile, "These are I's spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please take care of them!"
"Eh?
Why are there two more? "Xiao Hua asked curiously.
"Hehe, are there still cultivators in this world who don't like having too many spirit stones?" The old man patted Xiao Hua's shoulder and said, "Why aren't you taking care of them?
If others see this, it won't be good! "
"Yes, Junior understands!" Xiao Hua's heart trembled. He waved his hand and put away the spirit stones. Then, he looked at the old man.
"It's nothing. Your spiritual herbs are worth more spirit stones than these. Even I can get some benefits from them!
Didn't you say it already?
Putting yourself in my shoes, I think it's appropriate to give you more! "The old man blinked his eyes at Xiao Hua.
"So it's like that." Xiao Hua smiled and cupped his hands. "Then … Junior won't be polite!"
"No need, no need!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Those can be considered a small token of appreciation from I. If Fellow Daoist comes across such good spiritual herbs in the future, bring them all to I. I will give you an even better price!"
"Yes, if Junior has good luck again, I'll definitely come and trade with Senior Liang again!"
Xiao Hua said with a smile. However, he won't come again. Good luck once can be explained, but if it happens again … who would believe it?
"Oh, right, Junior has a question that I don't know if I should ask or not!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"Hehe, what do you think?" The old man didn't answer directly.
Xiao Hua scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Just now, I heard Senior Liang say that you know how to refine medicinal pills. Junior wants to ask, where can I get a pill furnace?
Junior … Junior also wants to learn how to refine medicinal pills! "
"You???
Refine medicinal pills? "
The old man almost laughed out loud. After holding it in for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I'm not laughing at you. Fellow Daoist Xiao, you've only just reached the 7nd level of Qi Refining. Don't say that it's impossible to buy a pill furnace from a market or a shop. Although that thing costs several tens of top-grade spirit stones, it's still a priceless item!
Even if you get a pill furnace, with your cultivation level … can you refine medicinal pills?
I advise you to wait until you reach the 9th level of Qi Refining before thinking about this problem! "
"Moreover … I refine medicinal pills … that's a secret technique passed down in my Mo Ling Sect. It doesn't require any divine sense. You're a loose cultivator … where did you get the technique?
Loose cultivators refine medicinal pills?
I've never heard of it! "
Xiao Hua's face was like water. After waiting for the old man to finish speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks for Senior Liang's guidance. Junior was enlightened after hearing it. Alas, this idea is really a bit … excessive!"
"You're still young. In the future, you might have a chance to find a sect to rely on. Maybe … you'll have some good luck!" The old man said with a smile.
"En, junior understands!"
Xiao Hua nodded. Soon after, he looked at the sky outside and cupped his hands in farewell. The old man also sent him off, a rare sight. Only after watching Xiao Hua walk towards the tavern did he turn around and return to Mo Ling Herb Store with a smile.
Xiao Hua left Mo Ling Herb Store and walked along the same path back to the tavern. After walking for a while, he slightly leaned to the side and didn't see anything unusual behind him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. The old man gave him a very good impression, but he didn't dare to lower his guard. Nearly 75 mid-grade spirit stones were enough to arouse the greed of others.
After standing quietly for a moment, Xiao Hua finally walked towards the yellow talisman shop recommended by Fan Riguan.
The yellow talisman shop was also very small, even smaller than the one Xiao Hua went to before. However, the inside of the shop could be considered lively. Several third and fourth-layer Aura Refining cultivators were choosing items inside while discussing something. In the shop, apart from a middle-aged man with a full beard, there was only a boy in his teens who was also in the second layer of the Aura Refining realm accompanying several cultivators buying yellow talismans.
That middle-aged man was very sturdy and looked very fierce. His cultivation level was around the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm. When he saw Xiao Hua enter and saw that the boy wasn't free, he personally stepped forward and calmly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy yellow talismans?"
"Greetings, Senior. Junior is here to buy some talisman ink, talisman paper, and talisman brushes!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands respectfully and said.
"En?
You … aren't an individual cultivator? "
That middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but he immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "Sorry, sorry, I spoke too much!"
"It's fine." Xiao Hua casually waved his hand.
"Oh, the items needed to make yellow talismans are all here. Fellow Daoist, please choose!"
That middle-aged man led Xiao Hua to the other side. Sure enough, under the wall, all kinds of talisman ink, talisman paper, and talisman brushes were neatly piled up.
