Around this batch of condensed pills that suddenly appeared, storms raged frequently in the market for a while, and undercurrents were surging endlessly.
But no matter which force, before clarifying the true origin of this alchemist, they tacitly told the disciples of his followers that they must not come to sell the pill.
But most people with abilities have very quirky personalities, and if they irritate the alchemy master who obviously hasn't belonged behind them, it will be terrible.
Bailian Pavilion, as a force of Taiqing Sect, naturally received the news quickly.
On this day, on the third floor of Bailian Pavilion, shopkeeper Ye stood respectfully in front of Liu Ming, reporting something.
"Envoy Liu knew that a large number of condensed pills suddenly appeared in the market, and a master alchemy master arrived here and hid quietly."
"I haven't heard of it yet. I have been practicing behind closed doors for the past few days. What happened in the market?" Liu Ming raised his brows and said nonchalantly, with a look of interest on his face.
"This matter has already been circulated in the market. It is said that there are hundreds of pills that have been circulated. Many businesses are asking about the source of these pills." Ye shopkeeper was obviously also interested in this matter. .
"As far as I know, Condensing Pill is an extremely difficult pill to refining, how come there are so many at once? Is it because someone is refining this pill in large numbers?" Liu Ming touched his chin and said noncommittal.
"A lot of people have guessed this way, and now it seems that Changyangfang City must have come to an amazing alchemy master." Shopkeeper Ye said with a wry smile.
"Shopkeeper Ye is also interested in this person?" Liu Ming took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
"This person is good at refining the scarce pill of condensation pill. If he can be recruited into the sect, I will naturally be considered a great achievement." The treasurer Ye said solemnly.
"Well, then this matter will be handled by Daoyou Ye with full authority." Liu Ming said calmly.
"Yes, I must try my best to find this alchemy master." As soon as the treasurer Ye heard this, he said with joy.
If he found it himself, the credit would be really great.
Then the old man turned around and talked about other things in Changyangfang City.
After a cup of tea, the shopkeeper Ye got up and left.
Liu Ming also put down the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although he had been very careful about selling pills twice, he still couldn't escape the attention of the caring people after all.
With so many forces looking for him, it would be a bit risky to go out and purchase alchemy materials.
The matter of alchemy can only be discussed after the limelight has passed.
In the following period, Liu Ming retreats daily for practice, and consumes a condensing pill every few days very extravagantly, slowly refining the properties of the medicine.
While his mana is steadily improving, he will also put the search for the essence and blood of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Turtle and the promotion of the prototype of the Nine Shield Magic Treasure on the agenda. These two major events are related to his future cultivation plan.
The essence and blood of Wannianling Turtle are extremely rare, and you can only try your luck. However, Liu Ming has found most of the materials needed for the final restraint of the Jiuyi Shield, and there are still three shortcomings. Supplementary materials.
Dirty yin liquid, magic crow crystal and fine soul powder.
These three materials are not easy to find. Dirty Yin Liquid and Demon Crow Crystal are rare materials with Yin attributes, and Jingpu Powder is a very rare spiritual material.
Liu Ming took more than one million spirit stones from the sale of condensed pills. After practicing, he began to search for Changyang Fang City. Fortunately, he almost wandered around the Fang City a few days ago. It won't be a clueless search.
…
In Changyangfang City, in an alley near the southeast corner, there are many shops with uneven heights on both sides, and they sell everything.
In a shop selling refining materials, after Liu Ming had a brief conversation with a Huangpao shopkeeper, he walked out helplessly with an apologetic expression on his face.
In the past few days, he has left many shops.
What made him a little frustrated was that not only was the essence and blood of the Wannianling Turtle without a clue, but he also didn't find any of the three auxiliary materials.
In his capacity, it would be much quicker to ask Bailian Pavilion to come forward and look for it, but in this way, it might also attract the attention of some people in the sect, which was a troublesome thing at that time.
Just as Liu Ming turned and walked to the next material shop, a male voice suddenly came from behind.
"This fellow Taoist, please stay for now."
Liu Ming paused, turned around, and saw a man in his early thirties in a green shirt standing not far behind him, looking at Liu Ming with a smile on his face.
"I don't know who your Excellency is, what's the matter with you?" Liu Ming frowned, faintly feeling that the person in front of him was a bit familiar, and asked in a cold voice.
"In Xia Lu Yanping, I have seen Taoist friends looking for something for the past two days. I have lived in Xia Fang for many years. I believe that the situation here is more familiar than Taoists. It should be able to help one or two, and also save you some time. "Yes." The man in the green shirt chuckled, showing indifference to Liu Ming's indifference.
"Friends of Daoist are following me?" Liu Ming's face sank, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered.
This man in the blue shirt, he did encounter it by chance when he was looking for materials in the past two days, but they all passed by, and he hadn't talked, so naturally he hadn't noticed it all the time.
"Friends of Taoist forgiveness, it's not a special plan for me to do anything, I'm just a broker in Changyangfang City." Seeing Liu Ming's annoyance, the man in Qingshan quickly waved his hand to explain.
"Broker?" Liu Ming's expression eased a little when he heard it.
He looked up and down at the man in the blue shirt for a moment, and did not speak immediately, but his mind turned sharply.
Liu Ming is no stranger to these brokers. He is also a frequent visitor to Fang City, knowing that brokers are generally divided into two types, Ming brokers and secret brokers.
Mingshao is simply doing some matchmaking for some foreign monks, inquiring about news, and collecting some rewards from it.
On the surface, the secret agent is doing the same thing as the Ming agent. At the same time, secretly there are also some local spies, revealing the information of the people who hire them to others.
He didn't have a lot of favor with these people before, and he hadn't cooperated. After all, he had hidden a lot of secrets.
Although he doesn’t know what kind of broker the person in front of him is, but now he has searched for materials for two days and hasn’t found anything. If he continues to search, it may be a waste of time. If he cooperates with these people who are familiar with the market, it may be possible. Give it a try.
Seeing Liu Ming's expression, the man in the green shirt cried out in his heart and waited patiently.
"How long have you stayed in this city?" Liu Ming asked calmly after thinking about it for a moment.
"It's not too long, it's been ten years." The man in the green shirt replied with a slight smile.
"How is the fee charged?" Liu Ming nodded when he heard the words. With more than ten years of experience, this person should be quite familiar with Changyangfang City, so he asked:
"Haha, it depends on what Daoists are looking for. If you are not in a hurry, we might as well find a place and sit down and talk slowly." The Qingshan man suggested.
A quarter of an hour later, the two sat in a Piaoxiangju restaurant in Fangshi, ordered two cups of tea, and chatted while drinking.
"Dirty Yinye, Demon Crow Crystal and Jingpo Powder are indeed some rare materials, and they are not very easy to find." Lu Yanping listened to Liu Ming's request, put down the cup, and bowed his head in thought.
"Friend Lu Daoist is not clueless, right?" Since he made up his mind to cooperate with this person, Liu Ming calmed down instead.
"The three materials that Daoists want, the first two are okay. Although they are scarce, as far as I know, they should be in stock in Changyangfang City. However, there is no certainty that you will be able to find the'Jingpoku Powder' below. Get it." Lu Yanping spread his hands and said with a smile.
"As for the cost, you can buy a material for the fellow daoists and pay me two thousand spiritual stones." Lu Yanping added after thinking about it.
Liu Ming hesitated for a while, and quickly nodded in agreement. Although the fee is not low, if the materials can be found smoothly, he will naturally not be stingy with a few thousand spirit stones.
"It's a deal, but the talk is in the front. You have to wait until you get the materials before you can pay you." Liu Ming pointed his finger on the table and said.
"This is natural. If this is the case, let's take the fellow daoists to look for Dirty Yin Liquid and Demon Crow Crystal. There should be a shop that has these two things." Lu Yanping said and stood up.
"I have one more thing, please, if Lu Daoyou can help me find the essence and blood of the Wannianling Turtle, I am willing to pay double the reward." The man in the green shirt just got up, Liu Ming whispered.
This time, after Lu Yanping thought for a while, he didn't immediately communicate. After a while, he slowly replied:
"The essence and blood of the Wannianling turtle is not comparable to those few materials, but it is a real treasure. I can only inquire about the Taoist friends. Whether you can find it depends on luck."
"Very good, then I will ask fellow daoists." Liu Ming naturally had no objection to this.
The two then left Piaoxiangju and mixed into the crowd of people on the street.
Liu Ming followed Lu Yanping for about a meal, and then appeared in a somewhat gloomy alley.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly, and followed silently.
After the two walked for a while, Lu Yanping stopped in front of an inconspicuous small shop.
This small shop does not even have a plaque on the door. It is squeezed in the middle by several nearby shops. There is only a small door more than two feet wide, which is really simple.
"The materials that Daoyou Liu wants to buy are not ordinary things, and the entire Changyangfang City is estimated to be only possible to find here." The man in the green shirt explained, and opened the half-covered door first, and strode in.
Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, and stepped in.
As soon as he walked in the door, he swept his eyes and saw that there were a few wooden shelves arranged in a mess in the room, and some common materials for alchemy and refining were randomly placed on them.
A thin, thin old man with withered hair and beard was sitting on the recliner behind the counter, closing his eyes and rested.
