There were people coming and going here, so it was not the place or time to ask questions. Therefore, although Liu Mei had many questions in her heart, she could only hold them back for the time being. She and Hua Rong followed Zhou Zheng in silence, and together they After wandering around for a long time, I saw Zhou Zheng turning towards a small and inconspicuous elixir shop.
After stepping into the door and standing still, Zhou Zheng's eyes under the black veil lightly glanced at the counter where the elixirs were placed. On the entire counter, there were only a few scattered elixirs such as Bigu Pills and Jiedu Pills. .
There is not even a Peiyuan Pill, and it is in such a remote place, no wonder it is so deserted here.
"Get whatever elixir you want. There's a price on it. After you take it, you can keep the spirit stone."
An old man's voice, neither salty nor bland, suddenly sounded in this small shop.
This sudden sound made Zhou Zheng and Liu Meihuarong's hearts jump suddenly. They suddenly turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see an old man in his seventies lying leisurely in the shop with his eyes slightly closed. On a wicker chair in the corner.
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that the old man had been there all along, but when Zhou Zheng came in just now, he was not aware of his presence at all. Including Liu Mei and Hua Rong, they were also completely unaware of the old man's existence.
"The juniors are disturbing the seniors!"
He could not feel any state of the old man in front of him, nor could he feel any pressure, but his intuition told Zhou Zheng that the old man in front of him was anything but simple. So after he bowed respectfully, he turned around and was about to leave with Liu Mei and Hua Rong, but unexpectedly the old man quit.
When Zhou Zheng was about to turn around, the old man who was lying leisurely on the wicker chair was as energetic as the young man. He jumped up from the wicker chair and glared at Zhou Zheng: "You bastard, you What are you kidding me about? If you don¡¯t want to buy the elixir, why are you coming here? Do you want to visit? You have to pay for the visit! You are so secretive that you can¡¯t see anyone!¡±
Zhou Zheng was a little bit dumbfounded by being scolded by the old man for no reason. But everything they said made sense, and he couldn't refute it. In desperation, he had no choice but to say with a smile: "Senior, junior originally wanted to buy this store, but"
As soon as he heard that Zhou Zheng was here to buy a shop, the old man's eyes quickly lit up before Zhou Zheng could finish his words: "You brat, you had just told me that you were here to buy my little shop. Come on, come on, tell me. Tell me, how many spiritual stones do you plan to give out?"
Zhou Zheng wanted to give himself a slap in the face. No matter what I said, I had to say that I was here to buy a shop. This time it was better to let the old man stick to me!
I wanted to say not to buy it, but I was afraid that the old man would get angry.
Although the old man in front of you looks like an ordinary person, if you don't see it with your own eyes, just like the air, you can't feel his existence at all.
"Senior, this it depends on the price that senior wants to sell it for." Facing him, especially the old man's gaze, seemed very peaceful, but Zhou Zheng felt a tingle in his gut.
"You brat, I'm not a ferocious beast. How can you be so scared of a bear like this? You are so young and energetic, how can you act like a coward!" He glared at Zhou Zheng angrily, and then he stepped forward to pull Zhou Zheng with a look of excitement on his face. , came to the entrance of the shop in a hurry, pointed to the street outside and proudly introduced to Zhou Zheng: "Smelly boy, do you see it? Although my shop is a little remote, look at it, do you see it? People are coming Not to mention the crowds, there is plenty of sunshine, and it is definitely a great store that will bring in money. Come, come, come"
As he said that, the old man pulled Zhou Zheng and ran inside again. While pushing open the door inside, he kept promoting: "Did you see, did you see? The refining pharmacy is ready, and the housing is also ready. You Where can I find a store as complete as this one? Also, this store was handed down from my ancestors. There are more than a thousand-year-old stores. If there is no one with thousands of souls, don¡¯t think that I can sell it. Brat , have you thought about it! I have been talking for a long time, can you just say a word! It doesn¡¯t matter if you are like a mute! "
At this time, Zhou Zheng¡¯s head was already full of black lines.
Say a word?
"When one or two people walk by, you can say there are people coming and going. A dark and dark corner becomes full of sunshine with just one word of yours. Densely covered with cobwebs and dilapidated, it was transformed into a thousand-year-old shop passed down by ancestors.
"How can you tell me, kid?"
"Senior, can you make it cheaper? Thousands of souls are too expensive! Boy I can't afford it."
Zhou Zheng was talking a little knotted, but as soon as he finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened again: "Expensive? A thousand-year-old store with complete facilities, but you still think it's expensive? Are you kidding me!"
Zhou Zhenggang was about to say something, but the old man slapped him hard on the shoulder, then changed his face and said boldly faster than turning the page of a book: "You brat, I will follow you as soon as I see it."Fate. Otherwise, the spiritual stone is not a problem. You owe it first, and you won¡¯t run away after buying the store anyway. "
After speaking boldly, the old man, under the particularly speechless gazes of Zhou Zheng and Liu Meihuarong, then continued pitifully: "Besides, I am already so old, and my only place to stay is sold to you. You kid won¡¯t have the heart to kick me out, right? I won¡¯t take up much space, so just give me a place to sleep. Besides, I don¡¯t live in vain, and I can help you when needed.¡±
Now, Zhou Zheng finally knows what kind of person is called a ruthless person.
Not to mention the forced sale, you still have to live and eat for free. The old man in front of me is absolutely ruthless! A ruthless person who cheats people to death without repaying their lives!
Dare you say not to buy it?
Dare you say that you won¡¯t let people eat and live in vain?
What does a spiritual stone mean? It¡¯s not a problem? This does not mean that he will be in debt for the rest of his life!
Resisting the twitching on his face, Zhou Zheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Senior, what state are you in?"
"What do you think?"
The old man looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile as if he knew what he was doing, and he had the urge to kick him.
Kicked, not kicked out, but Zhou Zheng stretched out his hands to push the old man aside, then quickly rushed into the alchemy without looking back, and slammed the door to the ground.
"Mei'er, Ronger, please change the name of the store."
Seeing Zhou Zheng hiding in the alchemy shop as if he was running away, Liu Mei and Hua Rong looked at each other in confusion, then looked at the old man who was sitting aside as if nothing had happened, and they turned around and went about their own business.
"Why don't young people these days know how to respect their elders? The world is getting worse! The world is getting worse!"
Shaking his head, the old man walked slowly back to his wicker chair and lay down. From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at Liu Mei and Hua Rong. It seemed that in his eyes, only Zhou Zheng was worthy of his attention. .
After arriving at the alchemy, Zhou Zheng raised his hand and looked at the cold sweat on his palms, with a faint glimmer of light in his eyes.
On the surface, it looked like he was facing an old pervert who was good at deceiving people, but in fact, he had a vague hunch that if he had turned around and walked away just now, he would probably have to face a murderer without blinking an eye. The old devil!
In such an inconspicuous little shop, there is actually an old monster hiding in it who looks ordinary but is actually incredibly powerful.
What is the purpose of this?
Why did you find him?
¡°Hmph, since I can¡¯t leave, let¡¯s see what you want from me!¡±
With a cold snort in his heart, Zhou Zheng waved his hands and walked inside.
Although this refining pharmacy is small, it is fully equipped with all the necessary tools for refining elixirs. But he didn't have all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Spirit-Juling Pill, so after he walked to the futon and sat down, he raised his hand and threw a Spirit-Juling Pill into his mouth, and held a spirit stone. , and started to meditate and practice.
Now that he has found a way to push his own realm to perfection, of course he will not stop there. Twenty spirit-gathering pills were enough to last him for a short period of time.
¡°This brat didn¡¯t leave the house for three days, no wonder it made me so bored!¡±
Looking at the still closed alchemy shop and the old man lying leisurely on the wicker chair, he couldn't help but muttered.
"Senior, are you here? I have brought someone to sell the medicinal materials that I need."
Just when the old man was about to close his eyes, a respectful call rang out from outside the shop. The old man seemed to know that the visitor was not looking for him, so he closed his eyes without giving any understanding at all.
Liu Mei, who came out of the back room, couldn't help but glance at the old man who had not moved from beginning to end.
Why does this old man seem not to be interested in anything?
Shaking her head in confusion, Liu Mei walked out of the shop, and then bought the series of medicinal materials that Zhou Zheng was thinking about from the hands of the group of people brought by the little monk.
Although she has not asked Zhou Zheng, she knows that these medicinal materials must be the medicinal materials needed to refine Juling Pills, so she is quite generous in terms of price. This made the group of people brought by the little monk very happy.
After sending away the group of people who ruined the little monk, Liu Mei took a lot of medicinal materials in her storage belt and gently opened the door of the alchemy.
After putting down all the medicinal materials, Liu Mei felt the increasingly complete aura revealed by Zhou Zheng at this time, and a happy smile could not help but appear on her face under the black veil.
Time flies, and ten days just pass away in peace.
?During these ten days, Zhou Zheng still never left the alchemy, and the old man lying on the wicker chair never got up. He kept his eyes closed, as if he never got enough sleep. But on the evening of the eleventh day, when a faint fragrance floated throughout the shop, the old man, who was like a living dead, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly sat up from the wicker chair.
With a faint fragrance smelling in his nose, the old man looked at the closed alchemy, and a ray of light flashed away.
"This kid can actually refine elixirs that far surpass those of Peiyuan Dan!"
After speaking calmly, the old man continued to lie down. After closing his eyes leisurely, he felt as calm as if nothing had happened.
