Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1200: Ask questions

Views:

Zhang Tie was sitting quietly in the living room of another courtyard, drinking tea. At this time, he had already taken off his pocket, revealing an unbelievably young face.

He rescued the middle-aged man who was thrown out of the inn. He just met him and did it casually. But the more important reason was what the middle-aged man said when he was crazy - everyone in this world is a fool. , What’s the point of me falling to this level for the people of this world? If you want to poison the world, just go ahead and poison me. If you want to kill me, come and kill me. Don’t you have hands and eyes that can reach the sky? Don’t you? Are you going to turn all the medicinal materials in Taixia into poison that kills without blood? Come and kill me, come and kill me...

This was the crazy shouting of the middle-aged man. Few people who heard this sentence would think that this man was telling the truth, but for Zhang Tie, who is proficient in the art of soul-stirring and forbidden, he could clearly feel that You know, although that man was desperate and crazy at the time, he was not insane, let alone talking nonsense. What he said was a complete vent of self-destruction.

- Turn all the medicinal materials in Taixia into poison that kills without blood!

With just this sentence, this man aroused Zhang Tie's interest.

At Zhang Tie's request, each of the more than ten waiters in the hotel carried a lot of clothes, shoes, socks and other things into the bathtub in the other courtyard for that person to choose. More than ten people came and went. After two trips, another waiter pushed the dining cart into the bathtub. Zhang Tie did not rush him, but waited patiently. While drinking tea, he took out a sparkling blue water crystal and played with it. , while silently absorbing the water element in the water crystal.

Grasshopper legs are also meat, and they are idle even if they are idle. Although Zhang Tie has prepared to no longer use absorbing elemental crystals as his main method of condensing chakra for cultivation. But at this time, it is inconvenient to practice the "Great Wilderness Sutra" and other secret techniques. It is like eating melon seeds. It is okay to just take out a water element crystal for entertainment. It can also increase your strength, so why not do it. Anyway, Zhang Tie now has a lot of water crystals.

After entering the Black Iron Castle and absorbing the glorious fruit this time, Zhang Tie's ability to multi-task has broken through to the realm of multi-tasking. In this state, Zhang Tie can absorb elemental crystals faster than He got up much faster, even if Zhang Tie didn't use all his strength, the first water element crystal. He also absorbed it in less than an hour.

After absorbing the first water crystal, Zhang Tie took out the second water crystal. After absorbing half of the second water crystal, he walked to the living room of the other courtyard alone.

That person just entered the living room, looked at the water crystal in Zhang Tie's hand, and rubbed his eyes. Then he saw that the water crystal in Zhang Tie's hand was decreasing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. That person The thought of risking one's life just now in my heart. He suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his whole person became cautious.

"Thank you... Thank you so much for saving me today!" He walked into the living room. The man bowed deeply to Zhang Tie and stood in front of Zhang Tie. He placed his hands neatly on both sides of his legs and looked at the ground with his eyes lowered, completely waiting for Zhang Tie to make a move.

Zhang Tie glanced at the man, changed into a pair of bright clothes, took a shower, had a meal and tidied up. The man no longer looked as slovenly as he did two hours ago.

This is a middle-aged man, who looks to be in his forties or fifties. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and he looks a bit gentle. His face is long and narrow. At this age, only four bright points on his spine are ignited. His cultivation qualifications are really mediocre, and his internal organs seem to have suffered some damage. They are not healed now, but he should be a person who has seen the world. At least, he had seen the water crystal and knew that the thing he was holding was the water crystal, and the one who could absorb the water crystal was at least the Earth Knight.

Zhang Tie didn't find it strange that such a person said what he just said. If the person who said those words had never seen a water crystal, Zhang Tie would have to wonder if his judgment was wrong.

"Sit down, don't stand and talk, I have something to ask you!" Zhang Tie stopped talking nonsense and pointed directly to the chair next to his coffee table. When Zhang Tie was talking, his Earth Knight's battle The Qi has unconsciously extended from the feet, covering the entire periphery of the living room, making it impossible for anyone to hear the conversation here.

"Yes!" The man also sat upright on the chair next to Zhang Tie. His whole body was upright. He sat on the edge of the chair and did not dare to lean in. Zhang Tie nodded secretly again. , if this person is still arrogant in front of an earth knight, then he is really crazy, and he has nothing to say. Judging from this person's reaction, although he is a little restrained, he is still decent. This is also different from an ordinary person. A person's reaction to meeting a strange Earth Knight is similar.

"What's your name, and how long have you been in Youzhou?"

"My name is Sun Jiagu. I came to Baohu City by boat from Qiongzhou last October and have been staying in the inn just now!" The man answered honestly.

"You said you are an alchemist?"

"Ashamed, I just advanced to Xuanhu Dan Pharmacist two years ago!"

The Xuanhu Alchemist is the third level of the Alchemist. Before this level, there are two levels: the Herbal Medicine Apprentice and the Backpack Alchemist. A person who climbs the ranks of the Alchemist can only reach the age of forty or fifty. To reach the stage of Xuanhu Dan Medicine Master, you are still in a place like Taixia. Such qualifications are also extremely ordinary. It can only be said that being a wandering doctor or opening a medical clinic in the city to earn enough food and clothing, but if you want to have If you want to achieve greater success, you have to go up a few more steps.

"Tell me, what happened to you and why you ended up where you are today? I just heard you say on the street that someone wants to turn all the medicinal materials in Taixia into poison that kills without blood. It seems that they also want to kill you! "

Hearing this question, Sun Jiagu finally mustered up the courage to look Zhang Tie in the eye, gritted his teeth, and asked Zhang Tie a question, "I wonder who Gao's name comes from?"

"My name is Zhang Tie, and I am the family elder of Huaiyuantang!" Zhang Tie also frankly revealed his identity.

Sun Jiagu's eyes widened as soon as he heard Zhang Tie say his name, "You... you are the one... who defeated the Tongtian Sect in Youzhou, and then there was... and that Zhang Tie... "

Judging from the shocked expression on Sun Jiagu's face, he probably had heard of Zhang Tie's name, and had even seen Zhang Tie's wanted portrait, but for a moment, he didn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Yes, I am the Zhang Tie who was wanted by Tingwei Mansion. However, the wanted order for me by Tingwei Mansion was canceled last year and I was cleared, so now I am no longer a wanted criminal in Taixia, and I have returned to Taixia. We’ve arrived in Youzhou!” Zhang Tie smiled and said, “With my status, I don’t know if I can ask you something!”

Sun Jiagu looked at Zhang Tie, his lips trembling, and before he could say anything, two lines of tears fell down.

"Tell me, I guess you have never said these words to anyone. You have always kept them in your heart, which has also put a lot of pressure on yourself. Just say them out. It is fate that the two of us met today. I Just be your first audience!" Zhang Tie said warmly.

"Yes... I said... I said..." Sun Jiagu wiped his tears with his sleeves and calmed down a little, "I was originally from Yongfeng County, Jizhou. I entered a medicine shop as an herbal medicine apprentice at the age of sixteen. At the age of thirty-one, He became a backpack pharmacist at the age of 18. He has been immersed in herbal medicine for most of his life. He also learned a few skills in making common elixirs. Later, he was recommended by others and entered the local wealthy Tai'antang in Jizhou. He works in a medicine shop. He is a wealthy family in Jizhou. His family owns more than 20 cities, thousands of miles of medicinal fields, and dozens of medicine mountains. He also has an earth knight in his family. He is good at making medicine and even better at growing medicine. He is good at growing medicine. Medicines and prepared medicines are not only circulated in Jizhou, but also in surrounding states. Even Taixia's legions in various states purchase large quantities. Because I am good at making several low-level elixirs, I started a family. In the medicine shop, he is responsible for supervising and guiding the clerks and apprentices in the medicine shop to make elixirs, and then let the family sell them... "

Sun Jiagu was talking, Zhang Tie listened attentively and nodded while listening. Sun Jiagu's experience is actually the experience of most low-level alchemists in Taixia. These people cannot continue to climb in the field of alchemists, so they can be favored by wealthy families. , joining a wealthy family to find a backer and a stable job is also the way most people will choose. Top-level potions are indeed precious, but for Taixia or the entire human race, many low-level potions and elixirs are the only way out. The absolute mainstream of the market. After all, ordinary people and ordinary warriors below level nine account for the vast majority in this world. Only the industries and businesses that meet the needs of these people can truly grow and develop.

Advanced recovery potions are good, but more than 99% of ordinary people in this world may never have the opportunity to see what high-end recovery potions look like, let alone be able to use them.

From a fundamental point of view, the Zhang family's full-effect potions still follow the path of meeting the needs of ordinary people. What full-effect potions can replace are the effects of some primary and low-level potions.

Zhang Tie motioned to Sun Jiagu to continue speaking.

"My treatment at Chengjia was pretty good. I originally planned to stay there for the rest of my life, to provide myself with food and clothing, and to live a peaceful life. Who would have thought that, by chance, I would discover the genius of Chengjia? Big conspiracy!"

"What conspiracy?"

"The entire Chengjia family is secretly using poisonous medicinal materials to make various elixirs and potions, and the Chengjia family also spreads poisonous medicinal materials to Taixia states..."
