Chapter 564
The disciple bowed and said, "About this, Dalang didn't tell me. But in my opinion, this' Orchid Evening Refinement 'is held once every five years and has long become a custom. Dalang may not have any ideas of his own."
Deputy Hall Master Xu snorted, "Since he doesn't have any ideas of his own, then just wait for the Hall Master's arrangement. Although the list is drawn up by me, doesn't the Hall Master still have to look through it?
Our Pill Expanding Hall people are only there to pick herbs. What can we achieve? "
The disciple smiled apologetically, "This list has always been drawn up by the Hall Master, but since 60 years ago, Hall Master Xu was entrusted to handle this matter. Moreover, the Hall Master is now old and many of the Hall's affairs have to be entrusted to Hall Master Xu. Dalang thinks that this year, you should still be in charge of this matter?"
Deputy Hall Master Xu tilted his head, "Did Wu Zhou Xu tell you this?"
"No, but what Dalang usually says and what I usually see is more or less like this."
"Hmph, you are well-behaved. But this kind of thing can't be said. Just do your job well and I will naturally take note of it."
"Thank you for your guidance, Hall Master." The disciple was overjoyed and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Well, rest early. Go back early tomorrow morning and let Wu Zhou Xu keep an eye on this Ren Xiaoyao …"
"Yes, I will follow Hall Master's orders."
Far away, Zhang Xiaohua, who was cultivating the Carefree Heart Sutra with his eyes closed in a small courtyard on Heaven Eye Peak, did not know that his every move had already been noticed by the two Hall Masters. It was even to the extent that someone was already thinking about his' treasure '.
Wu Zhou Xu was also a man of his word. Early the next morning, he sent Ye Chengliao, Qi Yuntian and Cheng Shi to bring over a batch of jade boxes. Zhang Xiaohua did not know if the herbs inside were worth his 605 taels of gold, but he already knew that Wu Zhou Xu would not be shortchanged at this point. Thus, he quickly signed on a piece of white paper. After sending them off, he happily looked at the herbs in the courtyard. The more he looked, the more he wanted to see them.
At this time, he saw Bai Huan enter the courtyard with a gloomy look on his face.
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and asked curiously, "Senior Bai, what are you doing?
Are you going to move in too? "
"Sigh, that's right."
Bai Huan sighed, "Junior Brother Ren, I was woken up by Senior Brother Qiu early in the morning. He said that it was Head Master Chen's idea. Your place is too remote, and it's not good to leave so many herbs unattended. Also, this courtyard needs to be cleaned. Yes, you're now the rising star of our Grass Division, and the victory of the bet will all depend on you. You're still young, and you can't be left alone, so..."
"So, you sent Senior Brother Bai here?" Zhang Xiaohua asked with a smile.
"Exactly."
Bai Huan took the bedding into the house and looked up at the bamboo forest outside the yard. She looked very uneasy and whispered, "Is it quiet in this yard at night?"
"Quiet, of course it's quiet. There's only the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest. It seems like someone is crying."
Zhang Xiaohua said gloomily.
"I see … Junior Brother Ren, aren't … aren't you afraid?" Bai Huan asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid that someone will suddenly knock on the door …"
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. "Aiya ~" Although it was broad daylight, Bai Huan almost jumped up. She hid behind Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Could it be that there's really a ghost …"
Before she finished speaking, a voice came from the door of the courtyard. "Is Junior Brother Ren of the Grass Division here?"
Zhang Xiaohua said loudly, "This is the place. Please come in."
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a strong man with a beard walked in. Bai Huan, who was hiding behind Zhang Xiaohua, poked her head out. Seeing that it was a living person, she forced herself to say, "Are you Senior Fellow Apprentice Liao of the Dan Department?"
"Aiya, Junior Brother Bai is also here?
That's me. "Then, he cupped his hands and said," I came here in a hurry. Please forgive me. "
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "We're all brothers. Why are you so polite? What's the matter, Senior Brother Liao?"
"I heard that Junior Brother Ren can use herbs to exchange for pills. Is that true?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing. It's just that these past few days, the Senior Brothers have lost to this Junior Brother. They all used herbs to exchange for pills. This Junior Brother doesn't have many pills, so even if I want to exchange with Senior Brother Liao, I can't."
Senior Brother Liao said with a smile, "I went down the mountain to do some business. When I came back, I heard that Junior Brother Ren was killing people everywhere. Congratulations."
"It's nothing. It's just luck. Senior Brother Liao, please don't laugh."
"Junior Brother Ren, you don't have to be so polite. I heard that even the eldest brother of the Pill Division lost to you a few bottles of pills. I don't want more. Can I exchange a few 'Bone Solidifying Pills'?"
"Well …" Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. He didn't have many 'Bone Solidifying Pills' in his hand, and he just exchanged three for Bai Huan. Although he didn't like 'Bone Solidifying Pills', he still wanted to keep a few for research.
When Senior Brother Liao saw that Zhang Xiaohua was in a difficult position, he took out two jade boxes from his bosom and handed them over. "I know I've made things difficult for Junior Brother Ren, but can you take a look at the age of these two medicinal herbs?
If it's possible, please give me a few! "
Seeing that Senior Brother Liao was so confident, Zhang Xiaohua knew that there were good things in these jade boxes. Sure enough, when he opened the jade boxes, there were two forty-year-old unknown herbs. Before Zhang Xiaohua could speak, Bai Huan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liao is so calculating. Although these two herbs are old, they don't have any use. How can Junior Brother Ren agree?"
Senior Brother Liao frowned and said, "I heard that Junior Brother Ren only cares about the age of the herbs. He doesn't care about the herbs. I … But, if it's other herbs, I don't have them here …"
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up and he eagerly said, "If I know where to pick herbs that are old enough, I can tell Junior Brother Ren the location. Will Junior Brother Ren be willing to part with them?"
"Don't … Junior Brother Ren, there are many places in the eighteen peaks of the Fragrant Religion that can produce mature herbs. But those places are not places that ordinary disciples like us can go. Even if you know where they are, you may not be able to pick them!"
"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai doesn't know. If Junior Brother Ren is fated to go to the place I mentioned, he will definitely be able to go there. Moreover, there are many herbs there. They are very old and most of them are unknown. This is something I accidentally learned many years ago. I can basically guarantee that other than me, there shouldn't be many people who know about it."
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaohua was interested when she heard this. What did he want? Wasn't it just some unknown herbs?
They were old enough. Even if he used the "Yuhuandan Pill" to exchange, Zhang Xiaohua would still be happy. So she asked, "Since Senior Brother Liao is in such a hurry, then Junior Brother will not care whether he is fated or not. These two herbs and your information can be exchanged for three" Bone Congealing Pills ". What do you think?"
Senior Brother Liao was overjoyed and said, "This Liao thought that two pills would be enough. Junior Brother Ren actually agreed to three pills. This is really … generous."
"Ah?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. She was already regretting it. She secretly said, "He is being generous again. Could it be that I am a sucker in the eyes of the Tian Mu Peak disciples?
Fine, when I have time, I must ask Senior Brother Bai about the market price of these pills. I don't want to be taken advantage of and ruin my reputation. "
However, she still said, "Senior Brother Liao has worked hard for the Hall. Junior Brother feels that you have returned today and can't help but want to get closer to you. Senior Brother Liao, please tell Junior Brother the news."
"Haha, it's just official business. It can't be considered hard work. How can it be compared to Junior Brother's hard work?" Senior Brother Liao said, but did not mention the place.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua walked back into the house and took out a jade bottle. She handed it to Senior Brother Liao and said, "Senior Brother, take a look. Is there anything inside?"
Senior Brother Liao opened the bottle and took a look. His face was overjoyed. He walked forward and whispered into Zhang Xiaohua's ear for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua's face was full of excitement. When he finished speaking, she smiled bitterly and said, "This is the place that Senior Brother Liao was talking about?
Do you think I can go and pick it? "
Senior Brother Liao smiled and said, "This place is not an important place in the Hall. As long as Junior Brother is fated to go there, you will definitely be able to pick it. I am not lying to you about this."
"En." Zhang Xiaohua nodded. "Senior Brother Liao is right. As you said, Junior Brother has the chance to pick it.
Alright, the pills have been exchanged. Senior Brother Liao, is there anything else? "
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was sending him off, Senior Brother Liao did not stay any longer. He said a few words of thanks and walked away.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was secretly at a disadvantage, Bai Huan muttered, "I knew that there are no good people in the Pill Department. I have not seen much of this Senior Brother Liao, so I did not know that his character was so bad. Junior Brother Ren, where is the place that he mentioned?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Bai Huan with interest. She waved her hand and said, "Senior Brother Liao is right. It depends on my fate. He pointed this out early on, but unfortunately I did not understand."
Then, she looked at the two herbs in her hand and said, "With these two herbs, it is not too bad to give him three pills."
"Herbs?" Bai Huan snorted and said, "They are worthless things!"
While they were talking, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open again. It was Chen Fengxiao and Qiu Wei Cheng who came in.
Zhang Xiaohua and Bai Huan went forward and bowed. Chen Fengxiao looked at Bai Huan and said to Zhang Xiaohua with a smile, "I saw that you have a lot of herbs here and the courtyard is big. No one is cleaning, so I asked Bai Huan to come and help you. Although there are many disciples in Tian Mu Peak, Bai Huan is the first one you know. I hope you are satisfied with my arrangement!"
"Hmph." Zhang Xiaohua sneered in her heart. "You are just worried about me. Do you think I would not know that you have more eyes and ears watching me?
It would be strange if you didn't pay any attention to me. "
Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands. "Thank you for your concern, Head Master Chen. I was just thinking about how to move this pile of herbs into the house. With Senior Brother Bai here, I can do other things. I will have to trouble Senior Brother Bai to move these herbs into the house."
"Move into the house?
By myself? "
Bai Huan was stunned. Then, she looked at the few jade boxes that were as big as a small mountain. She smiled bitterly. How unlucky was she? Wasn't it just a few days ago when she was on duty and was the first one to see Ren Xiaoyao? Why …
