The young broker leading the way suddenly stopped in his steps.
He pointed to a shop not far away and said:
"Senior, that's the shop!"
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw only one store, with a plaque "Qiaodan Pavilion" hanging on the door. It looked quite simple and plain, but compared to the luxury shops on both sides, it seemed a little shabby.
Immediately.
The young broker made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Senior, please come this way!"
Then the two of them walked towards the store one after another.
suddenly.
A golden fox-like spirit beast rushed toward Cheng Buzheng.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng grabbed the golden raccoon by the neck.
The golden raccoon's limbs kept struggling in the air, making whimpering sounds, but it was always firmly held in Cheng Buzheng's hand.
"Fellow Taoist accidentally injured the old woman's little baby!"
An old voice came from the counter in the store.
Cheng BuZheng followed the reputation and saw an old woman who looked like she was over sixty years old. Her eyes looked anxious and she shouted to Cheng BuZheng.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng didn't want to offend the owner of this shop, after all, he still had something to ask for.
Then he put the golden raccoon on the ground.
The golden raccoon seemed to be frightened, and turned into a stream of golden light, rushing towards the old woman's arms.
Entering the store, Cheng Buzheng subconsciously looked at it.
I saw that the furnishings in the Qiaodan Pavilion store were quite monotonous, with bottles of elixirs placed on three sides, most of which were first-level elixirs, while almost all second-level elixirs were 'double-polar elixirs'.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng also understood that these were probably elixirs returned by customers, so it was no wonder that there were so many 'double-polar elixirs'.
After all, the elixir for improving cultivation is a hot-selling elixir, even in Zhenhai City.
After looking around, Cheng Buzheng looked inside the counter again.
The old woman, who seemed to be over sixty years old, was holding a golden raccoon in her arms and was comforting her affectionately. The skinny palms of her hands were constantly combing the golden and soft hair of the golden raccoon back and forth. Her cloudy eyes were full of joy.
A doting look.
The Golden Raccoon is a quite intelligent monster, but this one doesn't look very smart.
At the same time, Cheng Buzheng also knew that the old woman in front of him was a foundation-building monk.
Lean less.
The old woman at the counter raised her head and looked at the young man and Cheng Buzheng.
Immediately, the old woman noticed the mark on the young man's sleeve, and then turned her gaze to Cheng Buzheng. At this time, she no longer looked anxious as before, and said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, if you want to withdraw the dual-pole elixir, you can, but you can only use the first-level elixir to compensate for the price!"
"I believe fellow Taoists should also inquire about it!
Apart from this shop, the old woman has no spare spiritual stones."
After finishing speaking, the old woman once again teased the golden raccoon in her arms.
She had seen these monks who came to withdraw elixirs once or twice, and she didn't want to waste words.
Most of the monks vented their anger with cold eyes and frowns, and the good-natured ones calmly requested to withdraw their elixirs.
She didn't want to pay much attention to this.
See this.
After Cheng Buzheng confirmed that the shop here was the one selling Shuangji Dan, he did not reply immediately but instead took out the spirit stone, handed it to the young broker and sent him away.
Wait until the young broker leaves.
Cheng Buzheng glanced at the old woman at the counter and said:
"Fellow Taoist, I have misunderstood. I am not here to withdraw my elixir!"
Hear the words.
"oh!"
The old woman raised her wrinkled face and said with some confusion:
"Then what is the purpose of your fellow Taoist coming here?"
Cheng Buzheng heard the old woman's confused tone and smiled:
"Fellow Taoist, I'm here to get the recipe for the Double Polar Pill."
After all, if he wanted to find the bipolar elixir recipe at this time, he could only rely on this old woman. She was also the only monk he could find who had some connections.
Hearing this, the old woman's old face showed an unhappy look and said:
"Are you making fun of the old woman?"
"Which guy would have run away long ago, otherwise how would the old woman end up like this?"
Immediately, the old woman changed the topic and said sarcastically:
"If fellow Taoist want bipolar elixirs, all these elixirs can be sold to fellow Taoist at a low price. How about that?"
"Why go to the trouble of searching for elixirs and refining bipolar elixirs?"
Regarding this.
The old woman was not surprised by Cheng Buzheng's purpose.
After all, the monk who came here to inquire about the whereabouts of the elixir was not just Cheng Buzheng. There were also many alchemists who came here to inquire. After all, once this elixir recipe was completely perfected.
The profits from this can be imagined, and the main elixir of this elixir does not require elixirs. It can be refined with only a small amount of elixirs.
If there are enough monsters and wild beasts, they can continuously refine elixirs.
This shows the allure of this elixir to an alchemist.
The old woman also knows the truth.
Cheng Buzheng was not surprised by the old woman's answer. He also knew how precious and rare this elixir was and understood its flavor.
Immediately.
Cheng Buzheng was calm and composed, smiled slightly, looked at the golden raccoon and said:
"This golden raccoon is really highly regarded by fellow Taoists!"
If he has any guidance.
Hear the words.
The old woman at the counter paused while stroking the golden raccoon and said in a cold tone:
"If you have anything to say, fellow Taoist, you can just say it directly."
Cheng Buzheng had already expected the old woman's response, and then said calmly:
"Since fellow Taoist, I have said this, I won't hold back any more."
"The soul inside this golden raccoon is probably no longer its original owner!"
As early as the moment Cheng Buzheng caught the golden raccoon, he sensed the inconsistency between the demon soul and the body of the golden raccoon.
plus before.
He learned from the young broker that the grandson of the owner of the shop here who was in a state of confusion had died a long time ago.
Jinguangli appeared not long after his grandson died.
The golden raccoon itself is a relatively intelligent spiritual beast, completely different from this stupid golden raccoon.
The intelligence of the first-level high-grade golden raccoon is definitely much smarter than that of the same first-level monsters. It is almost the same as that of the second-order monsters, and it is also comparable to the sanity of a human urchin.
As for the intelligence of the golden raccoon in front of me, it seems that its intelligence is not much different from that of a baby. It only has instinct. It completely deserves the name of a spiritual and intelligent monster.
Moreover, the higher the strength of the golden raccoon dog, the more intelligent and agile it appears.
But this golden raccoon completely goes against common sense.
Therefore, after he noticed something was wrong, he connected the clues one by one.
A truth beyond his imagination emerged in his mind;
"The soul in this golden raccoon has been replaced by the soul of his grandson by the old woman in front of him."
The old woman took advantage of the golden raccoon's innate talent for intelligence. In order to completely unlock wisdom for her grandson and get rid of his confused state, she took this spiritual beast away.
certainly.
The help of the old woman in front of me is definitely indispensable.
Otherwise, it’s not certain who will take over!
Therefore, when Cheng Buzheng caught Jin Guangli, she panicked and quickly stopped her, fearing that she would hurt Jin Guangli.
The doting look that the old woman showed when she comforted the golden raccoon dog.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to worry so much about a mere spiritual beast, precisely because this golden raccoon was her grandson.
Although he had some ideas, there were still some issues he hadn't figured out yet.
In the blink of an eye, many clues flashed through Cheng Buqing's mind, connecting them one by one.
immediately.
Cheng Buzheng looked at the old woman with a smile, her face darkening.
He didn't pay any attention to this, and then said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, I don't have any ill intentions. I'm just here for the elixir recipe."
"Fellow Taoist please grant me permission."
Then, Cheng Buzheng looked at the old woman at the counter with a calm expression.
Hear the words.
The old woman looked at Cheng Bu Zheng calmly, and then her expression returned to calm. While stroking the golden raccoon, she said calmly:
"Even if you know this is my grandson, so what?"
Immediately, the old woman changed her subject and looked like she was smiling. She glanced at Cheng Buzheng and said:
"In that case, I'll give you a chance."
Cheng Buzheng frowned and said:
"what chance?"
He knew that the old woman in front of him would never compromise so easily. Even if the matter was revealed and she had some scruples, she would not give in easily.
But it’s also good news, at least we can talk!
The old woman at the counter said expressionlessly:
"Master Ming, who refined the dual-pole elixir, did trade the elixir recipe to me, but if you want to get that elixir recipe, you have no other way unless you trade it for a third-level soul-nurturing elixir."
"The opportunity has been given to you. Once you have this elixir, come back to trade!"
After the old woman finished speaking, she ignored Cheng Buzheng and fondled the golden raccoon in her arms.
Cheng Buzheng saw the old woman trying to drive her away, but he did not show a disappointed expression or leave. Instead, he showed a calm smile and said:
"Fellow Taoist, why are you in such a hurry to drive people away!"
Hear the words.
The old woman at the counter did not respond and was still teasing her grandson.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, please look!"
As he spoke, he touched the storage bag on his waist and poured out a spiritual elixir from a long-necked jade bottle.
This is the soul-nourishing pill, which not only heals the wounds of the soul, but also warms and nourishes the soul.
Originally, he got two pills and gave one to Fairy Qingwu. Even though Fairy Qingwu suffered such severe soul injuries, Cheng Buzheng only kept one pill.
The only thing left was a soul nourishing pill, which he kept for himself in case he was injured by his consciousness in the future.
At this time, Cheng Buzheng took out the soul nourishing pill and felt extremely reluctant to give it up.
I secretly regretted that I had been dazzled by beauty, leaving behind valuable soul nourishing pills, and that my usual caution had been eaten up by dogs.
Just when Cheng Buzheng secretly warned himself.
After hearing this, the old woman at the counter looked towards the palm of Cheng Buzheng's hand and saw a blue elixir shining slightly.
The old woman at the counter frowned and said with a perseverance:
"Why do you need to amuse yourself, fellow Taoist? This elixir is just a second-level spiritual elixir and a soul-nourishing elixir!"
"Although this soul-nourishing pill has certain benefits for my grandson, it cannot open up the mind at all."
"If you want to use this elixir to exchange for the bipolar elixir, you don't even have to think about it."
The old woman spoke in an extremely firm tone at the end.
See this.
Cheng Bu Zheng was not angry but happy.
He suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, let me add another piece of news!"
Hear the words.
The old woman at the counter said expressionlessly:
"No matter what kind of news it is, it won't work. I can only exchange it for third-level soul-nurturing elixirs."
Cheng Buzheng said extremely calmly:
"What if, in exchange for the whereabouts of Master Ming who refined the Bipolar Pill?"
The old woman at the counter said calmly:
"Then you can go find him to change it yourself, why bother looking for me!"
The words just fell.
A voice message rang in her ears:
"Isn't it far away in the horizon and right in front of you?"
Although Cheng Buzheng's voice was calm, his tone was extremely certain.
Hearing this, the old woman calmly said:
"Fellow Taoist, don't be joking. How could I be that alchemist?"
See this.
Cheng Buzheng was not surprised that the old woman denied it. This was all within his expectation. Then he waved his sleeves and the door closed automatically without any wind.
The old woman did not stop Cheng Bizheng from doing anything.
Then, after Cheng Buzheng organized some speeches, he slowly said:
"Since fellow Taoist is unwilling to admit it, I can only tell you my guess in detail!"
"oh?"
The old woman said coldly:
"Then I would like to know how you were programmed into my body."
Cheng Buzheng glanced at the old woman indifferently and said slowly:
"First of all, Taoist friend's grandson must have just taken a first-level soul-nurturing elixir!"
"And it's not the first time I've taken it. It should have been going on for a long time, at least three years."
"Secondly, fellow Taoist should also be an alchemist!"
"His level is no lower than that of a second-level low-grade alchemist. Fellow Taoist, I'm right!"
See this.
The old woman was still a little unwilling, and said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid this is your guess!"
Cheng Bu Zheng nodded and said with a smile:
"As early as the moment your grandson pounced on me, I noticed that there was a deep, soul-nourishing aura in this golden raccoon body, and it was so strong that it was deep in my bones!"
"It's not just taking this kind of elixir once or twice, it must be taking it for a long time to produce such an abnormality!"
"Just taking one pill of soul-warming and nourishing elixir almost every day for these years is simply unaffordable with the financial resources of fellow Taoists!"
"Only if you can refine bipolar elixirs without having to worry about raw materials, can you continuously refine bipolar elixirs and make a fortune to support your grandson's horrific consumption!"
"As for the fact that fellow Taoist is an alchemist, after I entered the shop, I sensed the faint fragrance of alchemy emitted by fellow Taoist, and I began to have doubts in my heart."
"But Taoist friend is running a spiritual elixir shop after all, so I don't dare to make a decision easily. It was only confirmed after verification, thus connecting the whole thing."
As he spoke, Cheng Buzheng shook the soul-nourishing pill in his hand.
See this.
The old woman also knew how she was exposed.
The soul-nourishing pill in the opponent's hand looks almost exactly the same as the third-level pill soul-solidifying pill. Only experienced alchemists can tell them apart on the surface.
After understanding the reason for this.
She understood that she had made a common-sense mistake, which reminded the other party of the whole incident.
Immediately.
The old woman closed her eyes and thought for a while, no longer making weak arguments, and then said:
