After a sumptuous dinner and an exquisite breakfast, Tang An consciously paid the bill. He had earned so much from a life-and-death battle. He had a large stack of silver and gold tickets of different denominations that he had exchanged for last night. Naturally, he had such a small amount of money. He wouldn't take it to heart. What's more, if he hadn't received the news that barbarians might appear in the near future, Duanmu Village Master and his party wouldn't have come to Tieluo City to buy feather arrows.
After a lively breakfast, Lin Yu followed Duanmu Yingchun, Ling Tian and Lei Dong who came back to the inn in the middle of the night and drove the ox cart to pull the feather arrows. Tang An and Huo came to Tieluo City not to play but to have something to do. Xiaoyi, Ling Lan, Tang Tang, and Tantai Xinyue went out at the same time.
"Is the master supposed to be okay?"
After playing, Tang Tang was still thinking about Tang Yi. She looked away from a stack of red and shiny candied haws on the side of the street. She couldn't help but asked Huo Xiaoyi: "My master has a weird temper. How can most people really do that?" I can¡¯t serve him.¡±
"It's a picture of a little girl that makes people love you." Huo Xiaoyi smiled and pinched Tang Tang's little face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the servant girls in my family are all patient people, and a few of them can't serve you. My master is alone."
"Just have fun when you come out, don't think too much." Tang An walked over with a handful of candied haws, first handed one to Huo Xiaoyi and then distributed it to the others.
"Yeah." Tang Tang nodded, and swallowed a sugar-coated hawthorn in his mouth with one stroke. Before chewing a few times, his eyes lit up and he started eating quickly.
"Eat slowly." Tang An looked a little funny and said, "You really got the name right, Tangtang Tangtang, when it's sweet, you don't care about anything else."
"No way." Tang Tang wrinkled his nose, reluctantly licked the sugar coating on his finger, and then said seriously: "When the master picked me up on the road, he only said that my life was too miserable, but it was From now on, I will live a good life for the sake of sweetness, so I got the name Tangtang. How can I be greedy?"
"I think you just like sweets. At the sumptuous banquet last night, you almost ate all the sweets by yourself." Ling Lan showed a teasing smile on her pretty face and rolled up a hawthorn with her pink tongue. Rolled it into his mouth, but unexpectedly, the candied haws had just come out of the pot and the sugar coating had not completely solidified, and a trace of bright red sugar juice suddenly fell onto his chest.
Wearing a green, slightly tight and smart dress, she frowned at the candy stains on her chest. Ling Lan bent her neck and licked it without thinking. It was also she who gave birth to a pair of Mo Shuo Tang Tang and Tantai Xinyue, and even Even Huo Xiaoyi couldn't catch it. He lowered his head and licked the candy easily.
Tang An's eyes immediately straightened. Seeing that Huo Xiaoyi was both angry and amused, he stretched out his hand and patted her neck, and scolded her with a smile: "No wonder your father always scolds you, all girls, look at your behavior What did Tiandu do!"
"What's the point?" Ling Lan slightly wrinkled her lovely Qiong nose and said, "I am determined to be the first genius to be selected by the family to leave Zhulong Village as a daughter. If I treat myself too much as a daughter, Can the child realize this great dream?"
Tantai Xinyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, but she looked a bit greedy. She ate up one candied haws in just a few bites, but she didn't take another one politely from Tang An. This time But he stuck out his tongue and started licking it.
"Ouch"
I felt like a wolf in my heart stretched out its neck and howled. On one side, Ling Lan's huge breasts were as straight as if they were about to burst out of her clothes. The eye-catching sugar stains on them were a bit eye-catching. On the other side, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her actions. The inappropriate Tantai Xinyue stretched out her pink tongue and licked it endlessly, and Tang An felt that he was a little uneasy.
Of course, Tang An was not the only one who was not calm. Pedestrians on the street were also a little strange when they saw their group. Some of them looked like gangsters and were ready to make a move. However, whenever Huo Xiaoyi glanced over with flashing eyes, , looking at the hideous scars on her face, and then feeling a terrible aura coming over her, those people didn't dare to come and cause trouble.
"Is this here?" Not long after walking, Tang An's eyes fell on an antique wooden building on the street. When he saw the three words "Elixir House" written on the plaque, he immediately stopped and turned around. Huo Xiaoyi.
"This is it." Huo Xiaoyi walked over first and said at the same time: "This is the largest elixir shop in Iron Luo City, but you have to be mentally prepared. The things you want are more expensive than the last ones."
"It's not a problem that it's expensive, the main thing is that it must be genuine." Tang An followed up and said, "This thing doesn't have to be ordinary. If you buy a fake one, you will suffer a big loss."
"You can rest assured about this." Huo Xiaoyi ignored the warmly greeted waiter and said with a smile: "You don't know the name of this elixir shop, but Aunt Huo knows it. It is said that it is the property of the Nalan family in the Daxia Empire. From Daxia to our Wanjia Empire, we have opened countless branches. There is one in almost every city.?Things are expensive enough, but there are absolutely no fakes. "
"What do you guys want?" An old man in a moon-white robe came up to him. When he saw Huo Xiaoyi who turned his head clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. However, his good professionalism did not let him reveal too much. With a strange look, Ling Lan immediately rushed to the waiter next to her and said, "Quickly prepare some tea."
When he looked over again with a smile on his face, the old man smiled and said: "This way, please."
Huo Xiaoyi followed the old man through the quiet lobby and walked in. Tang An and the others followed him into a private room. Naturally, a waiter served him tea and snacks. The old man was not in a hurry to speak, but spoke attentively to the side. Serve.
"What's the price of Qi Ning Powder now? Where's the Body Tempering Pill?" Huo Xiaoyi has always liked wine and disliked tea, and he's not the kind of person who is polite to others no matter what. But he opened his mouth and got straight to the point: "Everything must be top quality. Yes, don¡¯t fool me with your high-quality products.¡±
"Sir, don't worry. The elixir shop has been open for hundreds of years, and no branch dares to cheat customers with substandard products. If the superiors find out about this, they will lose their heads. Please wait a moment" The old man Hehe smiled and responded, then backed out.
Naturally, she knew that it was Tang An and not Huo Xiaoyi who wanted to buy the elixir. Chewing delicate snacks, Ling Lan looked at Tang An with watery eyes and asked strangely: "You can still use the body tempering elixir after buying it. The high-grade body tempering pill may allow you to enter the high-grade body refining stage faster, but why did you buy the Qi Condensing Powder? Is it prepared for people who have not entered the initial stage of Qi training?"
"I bought it for Tang Tang." Tang An smiled.
Her eyes fell on Tang Tang, who was eating snacks with a smile on her face as rudely as herself. Ling Lan also had no intentions. If she had anything to say, she said: "If you are worried about this, you should have brought Tang Tang with you earlier." Tang is practicing martial arts and martial arts together. With her smart, hard-working temperament, she might be even more successful than you now, but she¡¯s just now realizing it. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little late given her age?¡±
"Sister Ling." Tang Tang didn't know that Tang An came here to buy elixirs for herself. Her eyes were so moved that she even forgot to swallow the sweet snacks on her lips. When she heard Ling Lan's mocking tone, she immediately He said anxiously: "How can you blame the young master? It's not like you don't know the situation in our family"
"Okay, okay, I'll just say casually, why are you in a hurry." Ling Lan pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and patted Tang Tang on the head and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid of learning late, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if you don't I will definitely be able to catch up with the geniuses in our village, that is, this young lady, but I should have no problem surpassing the mediocrities like Tang Quan, Yu Yunlong, Fei Ping, Fei Mei and the Fei sisters."
"Don't be impatient. In fact, what others said was not wrong."
I don't know if it was because of anxiety or sheer emotion, but the red circles in Tang Tang's eyes were signs of tears. Tang An, who was sitting next to her, stretched out his hand to wipe away the snack residue from the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Let's not live in the past." Having said that, you just need to know that everything will be different in the future and life will get better and better."
"Yeah." Tang Tang responded lightly with her nose, raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes. Seeing everyone looking at her, she smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry to bother you all." The old man who had just left walked in with a smile holding two beautifully crafted wooden boxes. He carefully placed them in front of Huo Xiaoyi and opened the lids. A strange fragrance immediately filled the elegant room.
The inner lid of the wooden box is labeled "Qi Ning Qi Powder". The milky white and transparent elixir is like a pearl the size of a fist eye, exuding bursts of fragrance like orchid and musk. There is also a fist eye in the wooden box next to it. A large and small golden elixir, but the taste of the elixir labeled "Body Tempering Elixir" on the inner cover of the wooden box is not that obvious.
"What is the biggest difference between high-grade elixirs and low-grade elixirs?" Tang An asked the old man curiously.
The old man smiled slightly and replied: "First, the materials are different. For example, the materials used in the lower-grade Ningqi Powder are not very old and are refined by ordinary mortal alchemists, while the high-grade Ningqi Powder uses all the same materials. It is a very old material, and it is refined by at least a Xuan-level alchemist. Of course, the most important thing is that they have different medicinal effects. For example, the low-grade Ningqi Powder can allow practitioners to condense the most basic Gangqi. , the chance of sensing the existence of the essence of heaven and earth is only 30%, but the success rate of high-grade ones is as high as 80%."
As he spoke, the old man pointed to the small seal under the three characters "Ning Qi Powder" marked on the inner lid of the wooden box, and said with a smile: "Which alchemist successfully refined each elixir at what time, and what kind of elixir it belongs to?" Which grade is marked here? Guest, you can put away the wooden box and check it on the account books of our branches in any other city at any time. There will be no fakes."
"What's the price?" Regardless of the pill or the old man's attitude, Tang An was very satisfied and asked: "What's the price of each?"
"A top-grade Qi Condensation Powder costs three hundred taels of silver, and a top-grade Body Tempering Pill costs seven hundred taels of silver. "The old man responded to Tang An's question with a smile.
Tang An didn't say anything when he heard this. Tang Tang jumped up exaggeratedly and screamed uncontrollably: "Are you kidding? Is it so expensive?"
