I thought these things were expensive, but Tang An didn't expect them to be so expensive.
Take Zhulongzhai as an example. Aunt Fat Wang¡¯s fried dough sticks can be purchased for two cents, and a bowl of Lao Li Tou¡¯s mutton soup only costs three cents. The Ke Lai Ju Tavern that once belonged to Xiong Xiugu is now the Lin Yu, who is usually very low-key but never expected to be an invisible rich man, renamed his restaurant Zuixiangxie. The best meal costs only ten taels of silver. It can be said that two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month. .
Just two pills, even if they smell fragrant and look beautiful, add up to one thousand taels of silver, and there is a chance of failure of these things. Tang An couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it at first, and finally understood. The true meaning of the phrase "the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts".
"The low-grade and medium-grade ones are cheaper, and the success rate of the top-grade ones is much higher. The materials and alchemists are extraordinary, so naturally they are more expensive." The old man looked at Tang Tang and smiled, then looked at Tang An and explained with a smile. Said: "Of course, the choice is yours. If you need low-grade or medium-grade Qi Condensing Powder and Body Tempering Pill, I will get them for you. You can compare them carefully before making a choice."
"No need." Tang An liked the old man's attitude, even though he knew that the other person just wanted to take money out of his pocket. He thought about it and said, "I need two high-grade Qi Condensing Powders. How about the high-grade Body Tempering Pill?" , um I want three."
"Okay, Sir, please wait a moment."
Even though the city was rich, I thought the business was about to go to waste when I saw his surprised look before. When he heard Tang An's words, the old man immediately smiled and opened his eyes, responded respectfully, then turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Tang An stopped him, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, smiling and saying: "I just saw you have a medicine cabinet outside, but I don't know if you have the herbs I prescribed. ?¡±
"The elixir shop not only sells elixirs but also medicines." The old man chuckled and quickly took it respectfully. He looked at it carefully, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. However, he did not ask Tang An for any of these poisonous or medicinal pills. What are the highly poisonous herbs for? He immediately responded: "We have all the herbs that our guest needs. We have sold out one of them and haven't restocked it yet. However, there is a drugstore on West Street that must have it. I will send a guy to buy it right away." .¡±
"That's good." Tang An nodded happily, hesitated, turned to look at Huo Xiaoyi and said, "Aunt Huo, you guys sit down first, I'll follow and take a look."
"Go." Huo Xiaoyi was still watching carefully while holding the Body Tempering Pill. She had relied on her own ability to enter the Formation Stage from the Body Refining Stage without using this thing. She heard Tang An's casual voice. He responded.
Following the old man out of the private room, as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw that there were not many people except for a few cleaning clerks and doctors sitting in the hall. Only then did Tang An stop and asked the old man: "By the way, where are you?" Is there any demonic beast¡¯s elixir core?¡±
"First-level and second-level monsters do not have elixir cores. Only monsters of level three and above can condense elixir cores. There are not many people in a small place like Iron City that can hunt level-4 monsters, so we only have Level three monster elixir core." The old man responded hurriedly, and then added with a smile: "But sir, if you need a high-level monster elixir core, you can pay a deposit in advance, and we will transfer it from other places in the shortest possible time. Some of them will definitely satisfy you."
"That's not necessary." Tang An thought for a moment and asked, "How much does a third-level demonic beast core cost?"
"Three hundred taels of gold." The old man explained with a proper smile: "If every third-level monster can condense a core, the price will naturally be much less. It's just that those hunting teams go out to hunt. If you kill a dozen or so level 3 monsters, you will be lucky enough to have two or three cores, not to mention that you will die if you are not careful during the hunting process, so the price sounds a bit more expensive."
"clear."
Tang An frowned slightly and thought for a while and then asked: "Where is the blood of the monster beast? I heard that this is used when refining elixirs and making some equipment that promotes strength, spiritual power, and strengthens attack and defense. Do you have any here? Woolen cloth?"
"Of course there is." The old man responded without hesitation: "Basically, every hunting team will buy a blood coagulation bag made by a special spell master before they go out. After killing the monsters, they will use the blood and clothing. Put it into a coagulated blood bag, so that the purity and concentration of the demonic beast's blood essence can be maintained but will not fade over time."
"What's the price?" He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but Tang An's face remained calm, half-smiling and said: "I won't even frown for the money I should spend, but you don't want to take me for granted. At worst, I'll go somewhere else." Ask again, after all, there is more than one elixir shop like yours in this Iron City."
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Guest, you are just joking. Except for herbs, the price of which fluctuates slightly due to different harvests, all other prices are uniformly priced in all places., but he is a child without any deception. "
Seeing Tang An smile and say nothing, the old man added: "The blood of first-level and second-level monsters can be found everywhere, but they are commercially available. Except for the particularly rare first-level monster blood, our store does not have it. A bag of third-level monster blood is available." Seventy taels, if you don¡¯t need a blood coagulation bag, it will be cheaper. However, if you don¡¯t have suitable containers and cannot preserve it well, the purity and concentration of the monster blood cannot be guaranteed. As for the blood of monsters above level four, But we are also purchasing, usually they have to be sent to the top, this one is not for sale."
"Okay, I want two third-level monster pill cores, and a bag of third-level monster blood."
The original purpose was to buy some blood of third-level monsters. There were many first- and second-level pig cages. Tang An thought for a while and said, "Bring that blood coagulation bag with you."
"Sir, do you need anything else?" He was confident in his own goods, but the old man was overjoyed to be able to do such a big business just after opening the door, and he was beaming.
"No need." Tang An smiled, but said nothing more and turned around and walked into the private room.
¡¡¡¡
When the whole group of people returned to Zhulong Village, it was dusk again. Everyone unloaded the 9,000 feather arrows they bought this time out of the car. Tang An then said goodbye to Duanmu Yingchun and others and returned to his home. New house.
As soon as they entered the house, Tang Tang and Tantai Xinyue ran around and visited the new house with paper bags and snacks. They looked at Tang Yi who was still sleeping. Tang An asked Lei Dong to guard the door and asked not to let him go. No one bothered him, so he took the porter and brought the big bag of herbs and monster blood he bought back into his house.
After taking out a few pieces of silver and sending the porter away, Tang An closed the door and couldn't wait to put the about twenty kilograms of coagulated blood bag containing the blood of the third-level demon beast Chiyang Huerxi on the table.
There was no abnormality visible on the surface, but Tang An could feel a faint aura of heaven and earth essence lingering inside the animal skin bag. It was clear that it was this layer of faint aura of heaven and earth essence that enveloped Chiyang. The fire rhino's essence and blood would not fade away. He was somewhat impressed by the talisman master's magical methods. Tang An found a copper basin and placed it on the table. He then pulled out the cork at the mouth of the bag and poured some of the monster's blood down.
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood for an instant, but what made Tang An a little creepy was that the red blood rippling in the basin was like the most delicious wine in the world in his eyes, and he even felt a little uncontrollable. Holding his muscles, his throat couldn't help but swallow.
? Stretching out his trembling hands and plugging the mouth of the coagulation bag with a cork, Tang An took a deep breath and slowly put his hands into the basin.
A strange scene appeared!
The blood of Chiyang Huoxi, which had stopped rippling and motionless, suddenly began to boil as fiercely as boiling. Tang An's hands soaked in the blood could not be seen clearly, but on his wrists exposed to the blood, there were In an instant, he was wrapped in a layer of shocking blood-red color, and his hands felt as if they were being stabbed by thousands of sharp needles. Tang An suddenly withdrew his hands from the blood basin with a "whoosh".
His face was slightly distorted due to extreme horror, and he felt that the blood of the Red Sun Fire Rhinoceros that had soaked into his body along his pores quickly swam along his veins and into his Dantian, and the two black air currents that were indistinguishable from each other were actually ready to move. His muscles and veins were in violent pain. Tang An was horrified and tried to control them with his mind without thinking.
??The thirst for blood, the hunger for battle, the bloody wind and mountains of corpses, and the ruthless killing
In an instant, he felt that his emotions were beginning to be dominated by violence, and a powerful force instantly filled his body. Tang An suddenly felt that his body was much lighter, but this was just like when he was in Qing Dynasty. Lin and Panjin River had the same abnormality that suddenly appeared when fighting the barbarians. Tang An, who was surprised and delighted, immediately gave up using his consciousness to control the two black air currents or communicate with him before the situation developed beyond control.
"It's true!" Tang An's expression was a little strange, whether it was joy or panic.
Seeing that the basin full of blood in front of him was only half full, and his originally scarlet wrist returned to normal in an instant, he finally confirmed that his original guess was not nonsense, and tried to control the two black masses at his dantian with his mind. Angry and unable to react, Tang An hesitated but still put his hand into the bloody hand. In the tingling sensation of his hands, he felt the blood converging and quickly rushed into the Dantian again and was covered by two black air currents. He swallowed it all, but this time it was even more violent. His hands were like sponges and he sucked up half the basin of blood in an instant.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:With a crash, Tantai Xinyue rushed in without giving Lei Dong a chance to stop him.
"what happened?"
The smell of blood in the room shocked Tantai Xinyue and Lei Dong who rushed over shortly after. However, seeing Tang An standing intact in the room, the two of them calmed down and frowned. Tantai Xinyue looked at Tang An and asked: "Why is there such a strong smell of blood? And what's with that evil aura that suddenly appeared and disappeared just now?"
