When Gu Zheng returned to the Piaomiao Inn, he found that the shopkeeper's eyes had changed when he looked at him, and there was a trace of hidden fear in it.
Gu Zheng knew that the Lin family and the Chen family were not on good terms, and he was afraid that what happened between him and the Chen family would already be known to the Lin family.
Early the next morning, Huang Qi came to Gu Zheng with a man with a sallow complexion.
After some pleasantries, the blue-yellow-faced man turned to Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, what happened between you and the Chen family yesterday?"
"Does Fellow Daoist Yang know about this?" Gu Zheng asked rhetorically.
The man with the sallow face is named Yang Jue, and he is the key figure in finding the Beili Xian Ginseng, because the Taoist friend Huang Qi mentioned is Yang Jue, and Yang Jue is familiar with the person who owns the Beili Xian Ginseng.
"I know, the Lin family in Luxia Town has some friendship with me. When I came to the inn today, the innkeeper told me some things that happened yesterday, but it was not detailed enough!" Yang Jue said with a smile.
"The thing is like this..."
Gu Zheng did not hide anything and told the two of them what happened between him and the Chen family.
"The Chen family is kicking a rock. It's not good to offend anyone, but they offended fellow Taoist Bai."
After listening to Gu Zheng's story, Huang Qi shook his head and smiled. After experiencing the Qingfengguan incident, Huang Qi really didn't think that the Chen family could get any benefits from Gu Zheng.
"So that's what happened."
Yang Jue nodded, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Bai wants Beibixian Ginseng, but my Beixiang Ginseng seems to be important to my friend, too. If it is an ordinary person, forget it, but since Daoist Brother Huang has told me this
I can also help fellow Taoist Gu with this matter. I will go find my friend now and ask, and I can give fellow Taoist Gu a message in the afternoon."
Yang Jue didn't stay much longer. After he left, Gu Zheng and Huang Qi chatted for a while, then went to Piaoxiang Building for dinner again after noon, and returned to the Piao Miao Inn to wait for Yang Jue's arrival.
Yang Jue came over in the afternoon and told Gu Zheng that his friend had no intention of selling Bei Lu Xian Ginseng.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, Beibixian Ginseng is very important to me. Can you let me meet your friend? I want to have an interview with him. After all, everything has value." Gu Zheng said.
"I'm afraid this won't work. My friend told me not to take advantage of him anymore." Yang Jue shook his head.
"Brother Yang, just like Taoist Fellow Bai said, everything has value. Maybe he will change his original decision after interviewing Fellow Daoist Bai?" Huang Qi said.
Yang Jue thought for a while, and then said: "How about this? I will tell my friend Bai Daoyou's intention. If he doesn't want to see you, how about this matter ends here?"
"Okay, although the ginseng is very important to me, I can't live without it. If your friend really doesn't want to give up, then let this matter go." Gu Zheng said.
Yang Jue nodded and immediately went to find his friend without saying anything else.
Less than an hour later, Yang Jue came back and told Gu Zheng that his friend said he could meet Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng and Huang Qi followed Yang Jue and left the Piaomiao Inn. The three of them walked through the streets for a while and arrived in front of a large house in a residential area.
Looking at the two big characters above the gate of the house, Gu Zheng frowned and said: "Lin Mansion?"
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I won't hide the matter from you now. My friend is Lin Haibo, the head of the Lin family, and Beibi ginseng is a good thing that many people covet, so I have an obligation to keep it secret for my friend.
I hope Fellow Daoist Bai can understand," Yang Jue said.
"Understood." Gu Zheng nodded.
"When I came here in the morning, I didn't tell him who wanted to buy Betelgeuse ginseng. On the previous trip, I told him that it was Taoist Bai who wanted to buy Betelgeuse ginseng, so Haibo decided to meet him. As for your
Whether the deal can be concluded, I actually think there is little hope." Yang Jue said.
"Regardless of whether the negotiation can be concluded or not, Bai would like to thank fellow Taoist Yang again." Gu Zheng cupped his fist at Yang Jue.
Yang Jue returned the courtesy and said, "No need to thank you, let's go!"
The Lin Mansion is very large, and the buildings inside are all magnificent and decorated with carved beams and painted beams, just like the residence of a prince.
Led by people from the Lin Mansion, Gu Zheng and the other three came to the back garden of the Lin Mansion and met Lin Haibo, who was making tea and listening to music.
As the head of the Lin family, Lin Haibo is also an immortal cultivator, but his cultivation level is only in the late stage of Qi Transformation.
Seeing Gu Zheng and others coming over, Lin Haibo asked the singer to step aside and poured tea for Gu Zheng and the others with his own hands.
"Fellow Taoist Bai is really incredible. Yesterday, one person suppressed the Chen family and made them lose their temper." Lin Haibo said with a smile.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, responding to what Lin Haibo said, and then he went straight to the topic: "Fellow Daoist Lin already knows the purpose of my coming here, and what I want to know is, how can Friend Lin be willing to send Bei Luxian to the throne?"
Give it to me in exchange?"
"Northern reed ginseng is important to fellow Taoist Bai, but it is equally important to our Lin family, otherwise we wouldn't still have it in our hands until now, so the price we have to pay in exchange for it is very high," Lin Haibo said.
.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's talk about it first!" Gu Zheng said.
"If you want to return the Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng, you need three things: Red Dragon Bone, Flying Flower Vine, and Misty Immortal Fruit." Lin Haibo said.
"Qi Ling, what are these three things?"
Gu Zheng had never heard of any of the three things Lin Haibo mentioned, so he had no choice but to ask the spirit of the weapon.
"My lord, this Lin Haibo is really not a thing! Red Dragon Bone and Flying Flower Vine are both very rare and high-grade ingredients. As for the Misty Fairy Fruit, it is a treasure-level ingredient."
No wonder Qi Ling was a little angry, after all, Bei Lu Xian Ginseng is just a high-grade food ingredient.
"This is really not so expensive. Whether it is the Red Dragon Bone, Flying Flower Vine, or Misty Immortal Fruit, the value of any of these three resources is higher than that of the Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.
"It is true that as fellow Taoist Bai said, the price is indeed very high, but the Northern Reed Xian Ginseng is too important to us. If we want to exchange only these three resources, we will not consider anything else." Lin Haibo said regretfully.
"Forget it, if that's the case, I really can't exchange for this ginseng. I don't think anyone will exchange these three resources for one." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"
Huang Qi also spoke, but Lin Haibo just shook his head.
"Okay, since that's the case, we won't bother you anymore, and I'll bid farewell to Fellow Daoist Lin!"
Astragalus looked a little displeased. In his opinion, the Lin family had no sincerity at all in exchanging Betelgeuse ginseng! Since Betelgeuse ginseng was so important to them that they would not exchange it unless these three resources were exchanged, then they might as well not let Gu
After the fight, after all, as Gu Zheng said, no one would exchange those three resources for one piece of Beili Xian Ginseng.
Although the matter was about Gu Zheng, Huang Qi had a hand in it after all. Now he could feel some of Gu Zheng's displeasure, but he understood that Gu Zheng had to say goodbye because of Yang Jue's face! But he was different.
, he has a very close relationship with Yang Jue, and since it’s hard for Gu Zheng to speak up, then it’s up to him to speak up.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, don't leave in a hurry. Since you've come here, let's have a meal here tonight and I'll host a banquet for you all." Lin Haibo persuaded him.
"Forget it, I happen to have some things to deal with here, so I won't have dinner here."
Gu Zheng also stood up. He was indeed a little unhappy, and it was indeed because Yang Jue was not in good shape that he immediately said goodbye. Now that Huang Qi had said it, he didn't want to stay in the Lin Mansion any longer.
"Next time we have a chance to have dinner together, let's forget it this time!" Yang Jue also stood up.
"Well, since the three of you are determined to leave, Lin will not try to persuade you to stay. If you want to come to Lin's house as a guest anytime, just come over!"
Lin Haibo also stood up and began to send Gu Zheng and the three of them off.
"It's not easy to get clues about Beibixian Ginseng, but who would have thought that it would be lost again."
Qi Ling's voice was filled with hatred, and Gu Zheng understood that this was her dissatisfaction and unwillingness towards the Lin family.
Gu Zheng was also unwilling to do so. As he was walking forward, he stopped and turned back and asked: "Beijing Luxian Ginseng is so important to Fellow Daoist Lin. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lin is going to use Beipian Luxian Ginseng?"
"It is used to refine elixirs for treating diseases." Lin Haibo said.
"Cure?"
As soon as Lin Haibo said that the purpose of using Beibi ginseng is to make elixirs and cure diseases, Gu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up: "I wonder what disease fellow Taoist Lin wants to use Beipun ginseng to treat?"
"Why!"
Lin Haibo sighed: "Cure a stubborn disease that leaves people helpless!"
"Looking at fellow Taoist's expression, it seems that the sick person is a relative of fellow Taoist?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"I am indeed a relative of mine. From the look of fellow Taoist Bai, it seems that he is quite good at medicine?" Lin Haibo asked rhetorically.
"I am really good at treating diseases, especially good at treating various difficult and complicated diseases! I wonder if Fellow Taoist Lin can let me see the patient. Maybe I can cure the patient without using Beibishen ginseng?"
Gu Zheng's words only caused Lin Haibo to shake his head: "Fellow Daoist Bai, let me tell you this! The elixir to treat this disease was given by a Da Luo Jinxian. It not only requires Beili Xian Ginseng, but also
Red Dragon Bone, Flying Flower Vine, Misty Fairy Fruit and other medicinal materials. Now that Daoist Bai has listened to part of the elixir, he should know how difficult it is to treat this disease, right?"
"All you need are good medicinal materials, but diseases don't have to be cured only by good medicinal materials."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you let me see the patient, it won't cost you anything. What if I can cure the patient?"
Seeing Gu Zheng's affirmation, Lin Haibo seemed a little shaken. After thinking about it for a while, he frowned and said, "Okay, I'll ask the patient first. His opinion on this matter must prevail."
Gu Zheng and the others returned to the back garden again, while Lin Haibo went to ask the patient what he wanted.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, are you really sure?" Yang Jue asked.
"I can't say I'm sure, after all, I haven't even seen the patient." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Too."
Yang Jue nodded and stopped talking.
After a while.
Lin Haibo came back. He told Gu Zheng that the patient was willing to meet Gu Zheng and asked Huang Qi and Yang Jue to wait in the garden for a while.
"Isn't the guest at home?"
Seeing Lin Haibo taking him away from the Lin Mansion, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, to be honest, the sick person is my ancestor. You also know the importance of the ancestor to a family. If he hadn't decided to see you, this would have been a secret and could not be spread." Lin Haibo.
wry smile.
"That's it!" Gu Zheng nodded.
The Lin family also has a hilltop for immortal cultivators in Luxia Town. After leaving Luxia Town, Lin Haibo sacrificed a gourd immortal weapon. He rode on it and led the way. Gu Zheng followed and soon arrived at the Lin family.
The top of the mountain.
The top of a mountain that can be chosen by immortal cultivators to build a cave can almost always be regarded as a beautiful place. Even if it is isolated by the immortal formation guarding the mountain, Gu Zheng standing at the foot of the mountain can still feel the abundance of immortal energy here.
After we climbed to the top of the Lin family's hill, it was not a quiet place. It was quite lively. There were many people coming and going, many of them women in palace clothes. Strings of silver were sprinkled as they walked and talked.
A bell-like laughter.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was looking at the female relatives who seemed to be in a daze, Lin Haibo said: "It's a hard time to cultivate immortals, so some of our ancestors brought their female relatives up the mountain, and some of them practiced dual cultivation, so there are more female relatives on the mountain."
Gu Zheng didn't speak, just nodded and smiled. He was indeed a little distracted just now.
"Fellow Daoist Bai has impressive cultivation at such a young age. It seems that he must be an ascetic cultivator." Lin Haibo said again.
"That's right!" Gu Zheng said.
"What did you think of just now?" Qi Ling suddenly covered his mouth and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect anything, I was just a little bit emotional." Gu Zheng said.
"I know even if you don't tell me, are you thinking of your peach blossom?" Qi Ling said, blinking.
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at the weapon spirit, but said nothing.
Before he got the Tiexian Order, Gu Zheng had someone he liked. But since he got the Tiexian Order, Gu Zheng understood that the path he took was different from ordinary people, and separation would make him sad. He couldn't imagine what would happen one day.
There is a scene where there is someone you like, but you go there before him.
"Ordinary flowers are not suitable for you. Even if you look for them, you will find ones that are almost as talented as you."
There was a hint of disappointment in Qi Ling's voice, and he received another silent roll of the eyes from Gu Zheng.
Lin Haibo took Gu Zheng to the largest cave on the top of the mountain. In front of the cave, there was an old man who looked sick and sick waiting for him.
"Fellow Taoist Bai, Lin is missing his welcome from afar, I hope you won't be surprised, fellow Taoist!" Lin Dongliang clasped his fists towards Gu Zheng.
"Where is it!" Gu Zheng said in return, cupping his fists.
"This is not the place to talk, please come to the cave!"
After Lin Dongliang brought Gu Zheng into the cave, he went straight to the point: "I heard from Haibo that fellow Taoist Gu wanted Beilu Xiangshen and was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, so I asked Haibo to bring fellow Taoist here."
Friend, would you like to see how I am doing now?"
"Okay, then please relax your body, Taoist friend Lin."
Gu Zheng probed a ray of spiritual thought into Lin Dongliang's body and immediately frowned.
There is an extremely cold aura in Lin Dongliang's body. Even though he has not yet seen the fairy power ball in Lin Dongliang's dantian, Gu Zheng is certain that this extremely cold aura has been suppressed by his cultivation, otherwise it would
It will be even colder.
"This is not an ordinary disease. Ordinary illnesses don't look like this."
Qi Ling's spiritual thoughts are attached to Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts, and they are also exploring Lin Dongliang's body.
"Of course it's not an ordinary disease. Ordinary diseases must have been cured long ago. After all, there are countless capable people in the ancient times." Gu Zheng said.
As he explored Lin Dongliang's body, Gu Zheng frowned more and more. He originally thought that Lin Dongliang's body had abnormal cold air, so there should also be a cold source in his body. But as
After further investigation, it was discovered that there was no cold source in Lin Dongliang's body. If there was a cold source, then his whole body was a cold source! To put it simply, due to some unknown reason, his physique
Been changed!
Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts left Lin Dongliang's body, and Lin Dongliang immediately asked: "Fellow Daoist Bai, are you sure you can cure me?"
"This matter is very difficult!"
Gu Zheng's wrinkles still didn't relax, and Lin Dongliang's face was immediately filled with disappointment.
"Actually, I shouldn't have any hopes, after all, so many people have seen it." Lin Dongliang smiled bitterly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't be discouraged. Trouble is difficult, but there are some things that I need to understand clearly before I can give a final conclusion."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then asked: "Fellow Daoist Lin, is this cold air dead or alive?"
The so-called life and death of cold air is because it gave Gu Zheng a very wonderful feeling. Gu Zheng felt that it was alive, but he couldn't find any basis for it to be alive. For example, although spiritual thoughts are also invisible,
It is a thing, but it is born from people, so it can be regarded as alive.
Although Gu Zheng found no evidence that Han Qi was alive, Lin Dongliang's cold energy was in Lin Dongliang's body, so he might have other feelings.
Lin Dongliang's eyes lit up and he nodded hastily: "Yes, it is alive. I can feel that it is alive!"
Lin Dongliang was very excited. Many people had seen his illness. Among them, only Gu Zheng and Daluo Jinxian had raised such questions. This at least showed that Gu Zheng was really extraordinary.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, when and how did you get this disease?" Gu Zheng asked again.
Gu Zheng's question made Lin Dongliang's vision seem a little ethereal, as if he was looking far away, and then he began to talk about the cause of the disease.
According to Lin Dongliang, one hundred and fifty years ago, they dug a "wozi" in their Wujin mine. The so-called "wozi" is a huge gathering point where the mineral veins are formed. The minerals in it are of very high quality.
It can be said that it is almost a condensation of metal, without any rocks or debris.
Under normal circumstances, it is a happy event to find a "wozi" in mining, after all, it represents high quality and high output. But the "wozi" dug in the Wujin Mine 150 years ago, for Lin Dongliang
This is the beginning of the nightmare.
According to the rules in Luxia Town, the owner of the house is required to set off firecrackers to celebrate when a 'nest' is dug, and to participate in the initial mining of the 'nest'.
Although Lin Dongliang, who was 150 years old, was already a cultivator in the late Golden Immortal stage, he still followed the ancient precepts and participated in the first day of mining of 'Wozi'.
With the participation of Lin Dongliang, a late Jinxian cultivator, the mining of 'Wozi' progressed very quickly, and a large amount of high-purity black gold was sent out of the mine.
Others were very happy, but Lin Dongliang was full of doubts, because he had already felt that this 'nest' that was as big as a house was actually hollow, and this was something that was not in line with common sense.
The hollow 'nest' was opened, and instantly a strong cold current swept through the entire mine. There were a total of 563 miners and cultivators in the cave at that time. Except for Lin Dongliang himself, all the others were killed.
