When the woman next to her saw Qin Tian's action, she was so frightened that she quickly distanced herself from him, fearing that he would offend Qingshan Dojo and also implicate herself.
At this time, a disciple took two steps forward to block Qin Tian's sight, and said fiercely.
"Hey, what are you looking at? This is not something you can look at!"
Qin Tian smiled politely, pointed at the iron cage and asked, "What is locked in there?"
"This is not something you can know!" the disciple said sternly.
As he spoke, he looked Qin Tian up and down, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"You don't look like you're from here, do you? Are you coming from another dojo and want to pry into the secrets of our elixir?"
"If you're not here to buy medicine, leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude and driving you down the mountain."
Qin Tian waved his hand and explained, "I'm here to see Immortal Yahui."
"Looking for our immortal chief?" The disciple narrowed his eyes, and the suspicion in his eyes became stronger. "What are you looking for for our immortal chief?"
"I came to him to collect a debt."
Qin Tian didn't hide anything and replied truthfully.
Who would have thought that after hearing his words, the fierce disciple immediately changed his face and became enthusiastic.
He took two steps forward, took Qin Tian's hand and asked, "Who are you?"
Qin Tian couldn't adapt to the disciple's sudden enthusiasm. He twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled his hand away, thinking to himself, this person couldn't be his little fan, right?
"Do you know me?" Qin Tian pointed at himself and asked.
The disciple shook his head, "I don't know him, but the Immortal said that he calculated that a noble man would come to him today to ask for a debt. He said his name was ""We must treat him well and we must not neglect him."
Qin Tian suddenly realized, "So that's it."
He thought that his fame had spread to every place in the Three Realms!
The disciple waved his hands to his fellow disciples behind him and said, "You guys, please send the medicinal materials to the alchemy room. I will lead the debt collector to the main hall."
Immediately, he bowed his hands respectfully to Qin Tian and said, "Master Debt Collector, I will take you in!"
Qin Tian took one last look at the cart going away, and did not pay any more attention to it. He nodded and followed the disciple into the gate.
Following the disciple's footsteps, the two came to the main hall of the main hall.
In the main hall, there were three disciples standing guard on each side.
When they saw Qin Tian and the disciple walking in, they all saluted.
"Senior Brother Li."
The disciple surnamed Li nodded, pointed to Qin Tian and introduced, "This is the distinguished guest of the Immortal Chief. You are so kind to entertain me."
"Yes, Senior Brother Li."
Then Senior Brother Li looked at Qin Tian, stretched out his hand to make a 'please' gesture, pointed at a mahogany Taishi chair and said respectfully, "Debt collector, please sit down first. I will go to the back hall to ask the immortal to come out."
After Senior Brother Li left, a disciple respectfully served Qin Tian a cup of tea.
"Please use it."
Qin Tian nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking around while drinking.
The entire main hall is no different from an ordinary main hall. It has a similar layout to the main hall of Tianmeng. There are several Taishi chairs on the left and right, and the main seat is above.
Only the picture scroll in the center above the main hall concerned Qin Tian very much.
On the scroll, there is an old man with half white beard and hair, with a kind face.
He was wearing a peach-yellow Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword in his hand, stroking his white beard with one hand, and was among the clouds.
At his feet, countless people knelt and worshiped in his direction.
"Hahaha... How wonderful it is to have friends from far away!"
Just as Qin Tian was lost in thought, a burst of hearty laughter came from the back hall. r> Looking around, he saw a kind man wearing Taoist robes walking over, followed by Senior Brother Li who was leading Qin Tian's way, holding a dark red carved wooden box in his hands.
The kind man looked exactly like the one in the scroll.
Come to think of it, this is Immortal Yahui.
As Immortal Yahui walked this way, he enthusiastically raised his hands to Qin Tian.
"The debt collector is here, but the fairy is far away from you. Please don't be offended by the debt collector."
Qin Tian stood up, cupped his hands and said politely, "No, no, Immortal Yahui is too polite."
Immortal Yahui waved his hand at Senior Brother Li behind him.
Senior Brother Li held the wooden box in both hands, stepped forward to Qin Tian, bowed deeply, raised the wooden box above his head, and handed it to Qin Tian.
"This is?" Qin Tian looked at the wooden box in front of him with some doubts.
Immortal Yahui opened the wooden box with a smile, revealing a pill that exuded a faint golden light.
"Just think of this elixir as a little gift from the immortal, and please ask the debt collector to accept it."
Before Qin Tian could speak, the disciples beside him made envious sounds and their eyes shone.
"Is this the Spirit Fusion Pill?"
"Spirit Fusion Pill? The Immortal Chief actually wants to give him this Spirit Fusion Pill worth 30 million merit points? Who is he?"
Qin Tian was a little surprised, "Thirty million? Is this elixir so expensive?"
This elixir can buy twenty of Taishang Laojun's Great Return Pills, right?
He has never seen such an expensive elixir!
Senior Brother Li explained to Qin Tian
"Don't look at the small size of this Spirit Fusion Pill. It takes a whole year to refine it, and it also requires many rare medicinal materials. This can be regarded as the top elixir of our Qingshan Dojo."
"Yes, mortals can directly ascend to immortality if they eat it. If cultivators eat it, they can increase their cultivation level by five hundred years!"
"Five hundred years?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian was a little moved.
If you eat it, wouldn't it save you five hundred years of cultivation?
But then I thought about it, eating people is soft-mouthed, and taking advantage of people is short-handed. After all, 30 million is worth it.
Moreover, relying on external forces to increase your cultivation will only be counterproductive.
Qin Tian waved his hand and declined, "Forget it, this is too expensive."
Immortal Yahui smiled, took the carved wooden box from Senior Brother Li, and handed it to Qin Tian.
"Just accept it. This is my little thought, but it's only 30 million. It's nothing."
The more Immortal Yahui said this, the less Qin Tian dared to accept it.
He waved his hand and refused, "Really no need."
The two of them were pushing each other, and the wooden box in their hands accidentally fell from the hands of Immortal Yahui.
The two had quick eyesight and quick hands. Immortal Yahui caught the fallen carved wooden box, and Qin Tian caught the spirit-melting pill in the box.
When Immortal Yahui caught the wooden box, he accidentally touched Qin Tian's pulse and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
'Why is this debt collector's pulse so weak, like the pulse of a dying person?'
'But looking at his appearance, he is radiant and full of energy, and he doesn't look like a dying person at all...'
Qin Tian also frowned, looking at the Spirit Fusion Pill in his hand, he felt something was wrong.
His elixir is very different from the elixir refined by Taishang Laojun.
If you open your eyes and take a closer look, you can see a slight black air coming out of the pill. There are also a few wisps of fairy energy mixed in the black air.
The elixir refined by Da Shang Laojun exudes pure immortal energy.
There's something wrong with this fusion elixir!
Before Qin Tian could think about it, Immortal Yahui looked at Qin Tian with a concerned expression and asked.
"Why is your pulse so weak due to debt collection? Have you been injured recently?"
Qin Tian smiled and did not explain in detail, "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with my previous coma."
"Oh?" Immortal Yahui pointed at the Melting Pill in Qin Tian's hand and said, "Then you need to take this elixir even more, it can help you recover quickly."
Qin Tian shook his head again and put the Fusion Pill into the wooden box. "Thank you, Immortal Yahui, for your kindness. Let's forget it."
Seeing Qin Tian put the Fusion Spirit Pill back, Senior Brother Li stepped forward to persuade him.
"This is the best elixir in our Qingshan Dojo. People outside can't buy it. If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone."
Other disciples also agreed.
"Yes, this is five hundred years of cultivation. Do you really not want it due to debt collection?"
"Well, since the debt collector must have his own reasons for not wanting to do so, or his current cultivation level does not require the five hundred years of cultivation, you don't need to say any more."
Immortal Yahui waved at them, then looked at Qin Tian and asked with a smile, "Debt collector, do you think what I said is right?"
Qin Tian smiled and did not answer.
The reason why he didn't want this elixir was that there was something weird hidden in this elixir, and he didn't dare to eat it randomly.
Both of them, taking the elixir at will will be detrimental to your own cultivation, and may very well be counterproductive.
Immortal Yahui sighed in despair, "Oh, it seems that my Qingshan Dojo is about to fail."
Qin Tian was curious, "Why did Immortal Yahui say this? You have such a bustling court outside your dojo, how could it fall into decline?"
Immortal Yahui hesitated to speak. He looked at the disciples standing aside, then waved to them and said, "You guys go down first."
"yes!"
As the disciples in the main hall left, Immortal Yahui sighed deeply and said, "Oh, it's hard to explain in words!"
"Actually, Xiaoxian wants to ask you to borrow another 200 million merit points..."
Suddenly, Qin Tian understood something!
No wonder Immortal Yahui gave him such a precious elixir upon meeting him. It turned out to be because he wanted something from him.
At the same time, Qin Tian also had questions in his heart.
He looked at Immortal Yahui and asked, "This elixir of yours can easily earn millions of merit points, but your Qingshan Dojo is still short of money?"
"Debt collection makes you ignorant." Immortal Yahui looked helpless, shook his head and said, "Although this elixir can be sold for three million each, and there is an endless stream of people buying the elixir, but you don't know,
The cost of this elixir is almost several million. In fact, I can’t make much money from one elixir."
"Not only can this elixir make no money, but it has also suffered a lot of losses in the past fifty years."
"Today is the repayment date I agreed on, but if I repay all the debts, the disciples in my dojo will probably starve to death."
"So I thought that after repaying the debt, I would like to ask you to borrow 200 million merit points."
"But I'm afraid that you don't want to borrow money, so I thought of offering you a Melting Spirit Pill, and then you would be embarrassed to refuse."
"So that's it!"
Qin Tian thought to himself.
Seeing how sincere Immortal Yahui was, Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I can agree to lend you money..."
Before Qin Tian could finish speaking, Immortal Yahui's eyes lit up with surprise on her face.
"Are you telling the truth?" >
Qin Tian stretched out his hand and said, "Listen to me first."
"It's okay to borrow money, but before borrowing money, I need to check whether your Qingshan Dojo has the ability to repay."
"How to investigate?" Yahuixian asked.
Qin Tian thought for a while and said, "I need to know the process of refining your elixir."
"this……"
Immortal Yahui showed a troubled expression.
Qin Tian said in a tone that could not be refuted.
"I know the rules of you alchemists, you cannot reveal the method of alchemy, but if you want to borrow money from me, I must know your alchemy process, so that I can know whether your Qingshan Dojo has the ability to repay the debt.
.”
Qin Tian did this not really to test his 'repayment ability', but to answer his doubts.
I want to know how this spirit-melting elixir was made.
"..."
Immortal Yahui still frowned, with a tangled look on his face.
Seeing that he was still silent, Qin Tian stretched out his hand and said, "Since Immortal Yahui is unwilling to agree, there is nothing I can do to help you. I also ask Immortal Yahui to repay the debt you owe first. The total including principal and interest is 53.6 million."
Merit value.”
When he heard this huge number, Immortal Yahui gritted his teeth and secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Okay, then I'll take the debt collector to the alchemy room for you to have a look."
"But the debt collector must promise me that after showing you, you will not reveal the secret of my alchemy, nor will you go back on my word."
When he said this, a shadow flashed across Immortal Yahui's eyes.
Qin Tian didn't notice this strange look, and nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.
Immortal Yahui made a "please" gesture, pointed to the left and said.
"Debt collector, please follow me."
Qin Tian followed Immortal Yahui's footsteps and left. When he left the side door of the main hall, he saw a long corridor.
After passing the end of the corridor, you can see a wall.
I saw Immortal Yahui pinching his fingers to form a seal, and a bright light lit up on his fingertips.
As he stretched out his hand, a gap appeared on the wall, revealing a faint light.
The light gradually enlarged, and an entrance opened in the wall.
There was a pungent smell of medicinal herbs at the entrance.
Immortal Yahui pointed to the entrance with a 'please' gesture and said, "Debt collector, please come inside."
This is the alchemy room of the entire Qingshan Dojo.
When Qin Tian walked in, what he saw was a half-foot-high gray-black jar placed on a fire.
Something was being cooked in the jar. The liquid was pitch black and made a "gurgling" sound as the fire continued to heat it.
At the same time, the liquid also gave off a strong and pungent smell.
The entire alchemy room was illuminated only by a few candles, and the light was very dim.
There are several iron cages embedded in the three walls of the alchemy room.
"Chirp chirp..."
There were more than a dozen figures moving back and forth in the iron cage, making violent noises. They were beating the bars of the iron cage one by one, trying to escape from there.
"Stop making noise! Snap!"
The sound of the whip was accompanied by those shrill 'chirps'.
Every time they flap the iron cage, they will be whipped.
Qin Tian gradually adapted to the light in the alchemy room, and his vision gradually became clearer. He finally saw the figure in the iron cage clearly.
It was a dozen monkeys jumping up and down.
It turns out that those monkeys were locked up in the iron cage!
