The residents of Windless City, whether monks or mortals, are all discussing the matter of "Heavenly Master" joining the Alchemist Guild.
Those who were lucky enough to witness Chu Tian entering the mansion of the Alchemist Guild, surrounded by Master Zhu and others, were all frothing at the mouth and bragging to the neighbors.
From the black and white feather cloak on Chu Tian, to the magical wooden staff in his hand, as well as all kinds of weird rumors about Chu Tian, today's Windless City, the only thing in the streets and alleys The hot spots are all on Chu Tian!
In fact, Chu Tian made a grand decision to acquire the mansions adjacent to the Alchemist Guild and expand the area of the Alchemist Guild tenfold, which triggered a feverish debate among everyone in Windless City.
This kind of fanaticism continued when Chu Tian left the alchemy master's guild, returned to Hancuiya, and announced that he would be in seclusion for half a month to refine several batches of spiritual elixirs.
The officials of Windless City became busy. The top figures from the five major families came forward, together with the deacons of the Alchemist Guild, to conduct friendly negotiations with the neighbors of the Alchemist Guild, asking whether they could buy their houses and use them to expand the Alchemist Guild.
Buying a homestead for expansion is the cheapest way to do it.
If the neighbors are unwilling to sell their homesteads, the Alchemist Guild can only spend a sky-high price to purchase the Dongfu Lingbao and expand the area by folding the space within the original guild residence.
But such a cost is too huge, and it makes people feel heartache when they think about it.
Amid the commotion, Li Xiuer, a disciple of Hancuiya and Li Ling'er's cousin, led a group of followers and walked angrily through the market of Windless City.
Li Xiu'er, who was born pretty and pleasant, had the best relationship with Li Ling'er. She was also gentle and honest, and was very popular with Chu Tian. She was also one of the core disciples of Hancuiya who received the teachings of "Taiyi Divine Code" and "Nine Deaths Mysterious Turtle Method".
Because Li Xiu'er is a few years older than Li Ling'er, she is considered to be on the older side among the Chutian sect. She is regarded as a eldest sister and is very popular with some younger disciples. Naturally, a group of people with her name gathered around her. Headed by junior brothers and sisters.
More than a dozen little carrot heads, ranging in age from seven or eight to twelve or thirteen years old, followed Li Xiuer. They all opened their eyes wide and kept scanning the souls freshly collected from all over Windless Canyon placed in front of the roadside vendors. Medicinal herbs.
This is a market specifically for retail vendors to do business, and it specializes in the herbal business!
Compared with those big herbal medicine shops and large wholesalers with serious stores, the medicinal materials at these hawker stalls are fresher and cheaper. Of course, there are occasionally fakes, which depends on your eyesight and luck.
"Senior sister, senior sister, what are you looking for? It's been more than two hours, and the master has gone back... Let's go back too?" A little girl in her early ten years grabbed Li Xiuer's sleeve and shook it desperately, sweetly There was a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Yes, yes, my feet are going to be shortened! Go back quickly!" Another younger child grabbed Li Xiuer's sleeve and wiped it on his nose with her sleeve. Bundle.
"Ah, I'm so hungry. The kitchen... no, Master said it was the cafeteria. The fat lady in the cafeteria said that tonight there will be stewed lion's head, braised pork head, and large intestine... the staple food is barbecued pork rice!" A fat man said The little fat man took a sip of saliva, grabbed Li Xiuer's skirt and shook it desperately: "Senior sister, let's go back? Look, my chin is so hungry!"
Li Xiuer rolled her eyes, followed Chu Tian's usual lazy behavior, put her hands in her sleeves, and sighed helplessly.
"Are you afraid of Li Youcai?" Li Xiuer glared at a group of little carrot heads.
All the little carrot heads were stunned, and they nodded in unison, their eyes widened: "A talented old man? So fierce!"
"The way he looks at people is so weird!"
"He's fierce, Senior Sister Ling'er said, he's not a good person, he wants us to put laxatives in his teapot when we have time!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Ling'er also said that when you find an opportunity, drug him, as long as he doesn't die!"
"Senior Sister Ling'er said he is a bad guy, so he must be an old bad guy!"
Li Xiuer rolled her eyes and sighed: "Yes, Ling'er said he is an old scoundrel... It is this old scoundrel who asked me, senior sister, to help him bring a hundred 'Black Heart Lotus' plants back!"
Sighing heavily, Li Xiuer drooped her head and said, "But he only gave senior sister three thousand spirit crystals! Only three thousand spirit crystals! You can't buy it at the pharmacy, which usually costs forty to forty. One Wulingjing plant, senior sister is poor, so she can only come here to find bargains!"
All the little carrot heads shut their mouths. They were all new handyman disciples who had entered the door in the past two months and had just started learning alchemy.
Hancuiya took care of their food and drink expenses and also gave them some pocket money. But their pocket money is mostly copper coins for secular use, and they don't have any spiritual crystals!
"What a cunning old villain!" The little carrot heads counted the spiritual crystals needed for one hundred black-hearted lotuses and sighed at the same time.
The price difference is too big. If you go to the pharmacy to buy it, Li Xiuer will lose at least a thousand spiritual crystals!
To Hancuiya, a thousand spiritual crystals were nothing.
To Li Xiuer, one thousand spirit crystals was a lot of money. After all, although she has learned to refine a lot of elixirs, she often refines various elixirs in Hancuiya. The problem is that all the spiritual crystals after the elixirs are sold have gone into the public account, and Li Xiuer will not get much. !
The spiritual crystals that fell into her hands were just enough for her practice, so there wasn't much left over.
She really couldn't afford a thousand spiritual crystals to fill Li Youcai's hole!
Besides, Li Youcai took advantage of her and asked her to help run errands and buy herbs. Why should she fill the hole for this old guy? Li Youcai is the elder, she is the younger generation, Li Youcai is her great-uncle, and he is not her biological grandfather. No matter how filial he is, he can never be this filial!
"Ah~ I'm so annoyed!" Li Xiuer rubbed her hair vigorously, making it look like a crazy woman.
Stomping her feet fiercely, Li Xiuer gritted her teeth and said, "Brothers, if you can't find us again if you hold on for another quarter of an hour, we'll go back and fight that old guy in the ring! Well, well, let's ask Uncle Dali to help us!"
The eyes of all the little carrot heads suddenly lit up, and they all cheered.
At this moment, the fat boy who had been talking about having dinner suddenly pointed at a street vendor with a "mischievous eyebrow" on the corner of the road: "Sister Xiu, Sister Xiu, is this a black heart lotus? It looks like a lotus, with a black core. It’s such a big pile!”
Li Xiuer was stunned. She suddenly turned her head and looked over. Sure enough, there were at least fifty black-hearted lotus plants neatly placed in that stall!
"Ha, that old guy still has such luck?" Li Xiuer rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the hawker with a flourish, and a dozen little carrot heads jumped in front of her.
