Ever since Butcher Zhao saw the pair of blue eyes of Yuan that morning, he was frightened, so he stopped sending pig blood from the next day.
Shangguan Peining was very annoyed and anxious. He didn't know how long it would take to go to Huaidu. If there was no fresh blood to irrigate the Tongtian treasure tree along the way, the pods on the treasure tree would slowly wither.
Shangguan Peining didn't want to see it anyway.
Therefore, Shangguan Peining strongly asked Chai Yan to find a way to hoard enough pig blood, ox blood, and chicken blood. In short, the more the better, so that the Tongtian Baoshu cannot run out of food.
Of course Chai Yan also attaches great importance to it. After all, no matter now or in the future, he has to rely on the various magical beans grown on the Tongtian treasure tree to gain a foothold in society. He and Shangguan Peining have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Early the next morning, Chai Yan went out alone. He told Yuan that he was going to buy some necessities for the road, but in fact he was going to stock up on pig blood and chicken blood.
He bought from the west of the city to the east of the city and from the south to the north of the city. After one day, Chai Yan felt that his harvest was pretty good, but Shangguan Peining was not very satisfied and kept complaining that it was too little.
Chai Yan had no choice but to go to Butcher Zhao's house outside the city. Unexpectedly, when Butcher Zhao saw Chai Yan, he was so frightened that he closed the door and turned away customers.
It took Chai Yan a lot of effort to explain to Butcher Zhao that the pig blood was for him to make medicine, not for the bird to drink.
But at this time, Butcher Zhao's house no longer had pig blood or cow blood, so Chai Yan had to spend more money to make a reservation with him. The reason was that he was going to Huaidu soon and wanted to refine some more elixirs for use on the way.
Butcher Zhao finally agreed for the sake of the money, and said that he would go to the houses of some of his colleagues later to see if he could buy back all the pig blood.
When he got home, Chai Yan noticed that the clothes Yuanyuan was wearing were different. He could tell from the style that the tailor shop had sent them new clothes.
It can be seen that Yuan was very happy to receive the new clothes. As soon as Chai Yan entered the room, she asked: "When did you ask the tailor to make new clothes? Why didn't I know?"
Chai Yan smiled and asked: "Does it fit? If it doesn't fit, I'll ask them to change it."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "It fits... By the way, how do you know my clothes size?"
"Oh, I saw you asleep that day and secretly measured you..."
"You... you took advantage of me... No, you are talking nonsense!"
Chai Yan's fluttering words startled Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan quickly figured it out and said: "I know, you took my old clothes and asked them to copy it!"
"You still have some brains," Chai Yan said happily.
Yuan Yuan frowned and said: "Hey, you have no brain..."
Just after dawn the next day, Butcher Zhao delivered a lot of fresh pig blood as promised. He was not the only one who came, but there were two other butchers who came with him. The three of them were each pushing a wheelbarrow, and four people were tied to each car.
Only a large wooden barrel, totaling twelve large barrels of fresh pig blood.
This time, the wooden barrel containing pig blood was one size larger than usual, and one barrel was equivalent to one and a half barrels in the past.
The three butchers helped each other and carefully unloaded the large wooden barrels, then carried them one by one into the yard and arranged them neatly.
During the transportation process, Butcher Zhao was the most agile and quick in his movements. Not only that, he also kept secretly paying attention to see if anyone came out of the house.
After the three butchers left, Chai Yan looked at the spectacular scene of twelve large barrels of pig blood in the yard and asked Shangguan Peining: "Is this enough?"
Shangguan Peining said: "It's far from it. Just what I bought yesterday plus what I have now, it's barely enough for my treasure tree to last half a month!"
Chai Yan curled his lips and said, "Let's wait for half a month first. When we get to Fucheng, I'll think of ways to renew it for you, okay?"
"Remember your words, and don't fail to honor them when the time comes!" Shangguan Peining reminded.
Chai Yan said unhappily: "What do you mean again? When did I fail to fulfill my promise to you?"
But Shangguan Peining no longer wanted to dwell on this topic, and instead said, "Okay, stop talking, hurry up..."
Chai Yan understood what Shangguan Peining meant. She wanted to put the twelve large buckets of pig blood and the blood into the storage bracelet right now.
Chai Yan disagreed, shaking his head and saying: "Why are you so anxious! Yuan Yuan is still in the room. If she bumps into her, how can I explain it? Is it a trick or an illusion..."
Shangguan Peining said impatiently: "Then you quickly find a way to get her away."
"Okay, don't rush me, I'll go right away..." Chai Yan had no choice but to go into the house and knock on Yuyuan's door.
Yuan Yuan had been awakened by the movement outside, and quickly opened the door. When he came out to the yard, he was surprised and asked: "Why is there so much pig blood?"
Chai Yan said seriously: "Sorry, I have to spend some time refining the medicine later, because this is a secret method that is not taught by the master, so...hehe..."
Yuan understood it as soon as he heard it, and replied: "I understand, I will go out for a walk during this time!"
There are rules in the world. It is unethical to deliberately peek at other people's master's secrets or secrets.
"Then don't go too far, I'll be fine soon, a quarter of an hour is enough..." Chai Yan said with a smile.
Yuan Yuan nodded slightly, then went back to the room to get a light dew, put it on and went out.
After confirming that Yuan Yuan had gone far away, Chai Yan began to put the twelve large buckets of pig blood into the storage bracelet one by one.
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan came back, and Chai Yan was already washing up.
When Yuan Yuan saw that the dozen or so large buckets of pig blood were missing from the yard, he curiously asked Chai Yan what was going on.
Chai Yan smiled, pointed at the gourd on the table in the room and said, "Here, it's all in my precious gourd!"
"Treasure gourd?"
"Yes, treasure gourd, there are treasures inside!"
"Come on, you are obviously a drunkard..."
Yuanyuan's first reaction was not to believe Chai Yan's words. It's not like she had never seen this wine gourd before. It had always been placed in an inconspicuous corner of the house. She had never seen Chai Yan move or brush against him.
, and now they suddenly say that this gourd is a treasure, how can Yuan believe it?
"Don't believe it? Well, go over now and take a closer look!" Chai Yan pointed at the room while wiping his face.
"Go and go..." Yuan immediately took off his Qianlu, walked quickly to the table in the room and picked up the gourd.
Yuan Yuan shook the gourd first and felt it was empty. Then she pulled out the mouth of the gourd and poured it down. It was indeed empty.
"There is no treasure, it's obviously empty." Yuan Yuan frowned, she thought Chai Yan was just looking for her to have fun.
Chai Yan entered the room and took the gourd from Yuan's hand, and re-covered the gourd's mouth. Then he said with a serious expression: "Who said there is no such thing? Just show it to me!"
After saying that, Chai Yan raised the gourd high in an exaggerated manner, and seemed to be silently reciting some mantra.
Then, Chai Yan suddenly pulled out the mouth of the gourd, turned the mouth of the gourd downwards and pressed it on the palm of his hand, and at the same time shouted: "The baby is here!"
Yuan Yuan hurriedly looked over, and when Chai Yan separated his hand from the gourd mouth, there was actually a green bean on his palm.
