Seeing that Lu Yuan couldn't help but lick his dry lips, Xu Xian smiled and said, "Captain Lu, wait for me, I'll go get something."
After speaking, Xu Xian walked into the house without waiting for Lu Yuan's response.
Lu Yuan came over today and learned a lot of useful science content for him. Xu Xian felt that it was worthwhile to give Lu Yuan the watermelon growing in the golden bead space to eat.
After arriving in the kitchen, a watermelon appeared out of thin air in his hand. He quickly cut the watermelon into four parts, and then Xu Xian walked into the courtyard holding a quarter of the watermelon.
"Captain Lu, the weather is getting hot now. Come on, eat some watermelon to cool down."
Seeing that Xu Xian came out holding a watermelon after entering the house, Lu Yuan couldn't help but swallowed and said with a smile: "Xu Xian, you are too polite... But why did you cut it in half?
It’s enough to eat, I really can’t eat such a big portion.”
Xu Xian put the watermelon into Lu Yuan's hand with a smile on his face: "Captain Lu, you eat first and then talk about it. Don't tell me later that you don't have enough."
"How is it possible? I have an official status after all. How can I take the initiative to beg for food and drinks with you..."
Lu Yuan muttered, then opened his mouth and bit into the watermelon with hesitation.
The next moment, under the gaze of Xu Xian and Xiaofeng, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly opened wide. Xu Xian could feel that Lu Yuan seemed to have a lot to say at this time, but Lu Yuan was eager to bite the watermelon.
, could only convey shock to Xu Xian with his eyes.
"Captain Lu, please eat slowly." Xu Xian said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, wait until you finish eating. Don't choke."
Seeing this, Lu Yuan simply stopped looking at Xu Xian and no longer cared about his own image. He lowered his head and started chewing.
Xiaofeng tilted her head, her eyes full of disdain: "I have never seen the world like this."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan paused for a moment, but in the next second he seemed to have heard nothing, and quickly started eating watermelon again.
A quarter of the watermelon was eaten up by Lu Yuan not long after, and probably because he had lost some image in front of Xu Xian and Xiaofeng just now, he was even more careless at this time, even with the rind attached.
All parts of it, as long as there was a little bit of red flesh, were eaten clean by Lu Yuan.
It wasn't until there was nothing left to eat that Lu Yuan wiped his mouth with unsatisfied intentions.
Then he raised his head and looked at Xu Xian with hot eyes and asked: "Where did you buy this watermelon? No, it's impossible to buy it. I can feel that there is some spiritual power in the watermelon. Did you get it from somewhere?
"
Xu Xian had long expected that Lu Yuan would ask this question, so he immediately pointed to Xiaofeng on his shoulder and said, "Xiaofeng also got this watermelon."
Xiaofeng seemed to have become accustomed to Xu Xian's "golden words" on his face. At this time, he skillfully put on a "I'm so awesome" look, without even looking at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan ignored Xiaofeng's appearance and said anxiously: "Then have you asked where this watermelon field is? Are there more watermelons like this?"
This question was also within Xu Xian's expectation. He shrugged and said, "Xiao Feng said it was found in Lianhua Mountain, and he only brought a few back. I asked him to look for it again, and he said there were no more.
Yes, as for whether there are other places in Lianhua Mountain, I don’t know. Xiaofeng did a little search, but didn’t find it yet.”
Xu Xian spoke very smoothly about things like making something out of nothing. Anyway, his story about the origin of watermelon was purely fictional. How he made it up was entirely up to him.
"pity......"
Lu Yuan sighed and showed a very regretful expression.
While he was eating watermelon just now, his brain was actually thinking. For him, the value of this watermelon is not only that it tastes good and contains a small amount of spiritual energy, but also that watermelon is different from spiritual fruit. It is very likely that watermelon contains both It contains spiritual energy but does not contain spiritual substances. If that were the case, people in the cultivation circle would probably eat this watermelon every day.
In other words, if this kind of watermelon is produced in large quantities or can be mass-produced, the market prospects will be unimaginable.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan thought of something, looked at Xu Xian deeply and asked: "You just said you would bring back a few? Does that mean there are still more?"
Xu Xian immediately said warily: "Why, Captain Lu, you just said you wouldn't ask for anything from the people. My memory is very good."
"I'm just asking, how could I ask you for it?"
Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly and put on an expression of 'I'm not, I didn't, I didn't even think about it' against his will.
Xu Xian did not continue to tease Lu Yuan, and quickly brought the topic to the main topic: "By the way, Captain Lu, if, I mean if, if Xiaofeng brings back another spirit-nurturing fruit with a purity value of 20%, How much value can you get in exchange for it?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan raised his head and took a deep look at Xu Xian. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "I can't give you a definite answer for the time being, but according to the existing data in the research institute, Hui Ling If the elixir can be successfully developed, an ordinary soul-nurturing fruit can be processed into two soul-recovering pills, and one soul-nurturing fruit with a purity value of 20%..."
"One ordinary spirit-nurturing fruit can be processed into four spirit-rejuvenating pills?!"
Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Xu Xian interrupted in surprise.
He had just heard Lu Yuan briefly introduce the effect of the Spirit-Rejuvenating Pill. According to Lu Yuan, taking one Spirit-Reviving Pill can restore a large amount of spiritual power, but he has never eaten ordinary spirit-nurturing fruit. The spiritual energy in it The content is not particularly large.
He thought that it would be almost the same to process a few Spirit-nurturing Fruits into a Spirit-Rejuvenating Pill, but why did the actual situation turn out to be the opposite of what he thought?
Lu Yuan didn't know what Xu Xian was thinking, so he immediately explained: "I just said that the spirit-nurturing fruit is the material for processing the spiritual elixir, but I didn't say that it is the only material. In fact, there are more than ten materials for processing the spiritual elixir. Seed, spiritual fruit is only one of the main materials."
Seeing that Xu Xian understood, Lu Yuan continued what he just said: "I guess, one soul-nurturing fruit with a purity value of 20% can probably process ten soul-rejuvenating pills."
Hearing this, Xu Xian's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Then if I...Xiaofeng can bring back a spirit-nurturing fruit with a purity value of 20%, can I exchange it with you for ten spirit-reviving pills? "
Lu Yuan glanced at Xu Xian tiredly: "You deliberately ignored what I just said, right? Among the materials that are processed back to the spiritual elixir, in addition to the spiritual fruit, other materials are also very precious. Let's put it this way, if If nothing else happens, when the elixir is put on the market, one will be sold for at least 200,000 yuan!"
"Is it so expensive?"
Xu Xian murmured and couldn't help but be a little speechless.
However, this price is indeed consistent with the effect of the Huiling Pill. If it was really cheap, Xu Xian would have suspected that Lu Yuan's introduction to the Huiling Pill just now was inaccurate.
"It's not bad that it's expensive, but the key is that every material used to make the Resurrection Pill is very precious. If you want to completely sell it to the public, it may not be possible for a while. If my guess is correct, even if it is developed and mass-produced
, then it will only be available on the shelves within the cultivators association, and it will be difficult for people outside to buy it."
Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Xu Xian went straight to the point: "Captain Lu, how many soul-reviving pills do you think a soul-nurturing fruit with a purity value of 20% can be exchanged for? If it's still okay, I can consider letting Xiao
Feng Duo spends more energy and goes out to look for the spiritual fruit, maybe he can still find it after spending some time and energy."
Lu Yuan glanced at Xiaofeng with some suspicion, but saw Xiaofeng nodding seriously: "That's the truth, don't you humans have a saying, nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so."
Hearing this, Xu Xian also turned his head and looked at Xiaofeng in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiaofeng spent all day reading short videos and learned some useful things.
Lu Yuan struggled for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, although I don't know what the final situation will be, I can guarantee you that if I can really provide spiritual fruits, I guarantee that I will give you four spiritual recovery pills, even if they are
Even if you can’t get it in exchange, I’ll give it to you personally!”
"Only four?"
Xu Xian curled his lips. Although judging from the price of 200,000 for a Spirit-Restoring Pill and 600,000 for a Spirit-nurturing Fruit with a purity value of 20%, he had already made money by exchanging four Spirit-Reviving Pills.
The greatest value of a spiritual fruit is not here, but the breakthrough from 0 to 1, which is of milestone significance.
To put it bluntly, if there were no spirit-nurturing fruit with a purity of 20%, the research institute Lu Yuan mentioned might not be able to develop a healing pill at all, at least not in a short period of time.
"Listen to me first."
Lu Yuan continued: "This is just the reward in exchange for the Spirit-nurturing Fruit itself. If the research and development of the Spirit-Rejuvenating Pill can really achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1 with this Spirit-nurturing Fruit, your generous contribution will also be rewarded."
Lu Yuan bit the word "generous" very hard, fearing that Xu Xian wouldn't understand it.
However, Xu Xian pretended not to notice and continued to ask: "What exactly does the extra reward refer to?"
"Points." How could Lu Yuan not see that Xu Xian was pretending to be stupid, so he could only explain: "At that time, I can reward you according to the points method of the Cultivators Association, which will be between two hundred and five hundred. The specific value is
, we have to wait until the Huiling Pill is developed and then make a determination based on the importance of the Spirit-nurturing Fruit."
As if he was afraid that Xu Xian would be dissatisfied, Lu Yuan quickly added: "Of course, according to my understanding, the final result is likely to be a five hundred point reward."
'Five hundred points, plus four recovery pills...'
After Xu Xian pondered for two seconds, he said: "In this way, I will add one more recovery pill, five more. If it is feasible, I will definitely let Xiaofeng go out to search for it every day until I find it."
"Five pills...you should have already figured out the value of the Spiritual Recovery Pill. Five pills are indeed a bit much..."
Lu Yuan was sighing, but Xiaofeng suddenly sighed and said: "It's very tiring for me to go out to look for spiritual fruits. It consumes both physical strength and energy. The benefits are less. Brother, even if you force me, I don't want to go."
Lu Yuan: "..."
For Xiaofeng's cooperation, Xu Xian could only praise Xiaofeng silently in his heart. When Lu Yuan left, he could reward him with more watermelon.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yuan finally gritted his teeth and said: "Then five! As long as you can provide 20% pure spirit-nurturing fruit, I can agree to these conditions in advance!"
Hearing this, Xu Xian straightened his expression and said: "Captain Lu, don't worry, I will let Xiaofeng do his best to find the spirit-nurturing fruit until he finds it!"
