Chapter 57: The elixir with five hundred taels of silver
…
"It's a pity that I didn't see clearly the true face of that thing!"
The extension of his spiritual consciousness is only ten feet, and the 'Tianmu Talisman' can see very far, but it is not like a bronze mirror that can break illusions and preserve reality.
Although I felt a pity secretly in my heart, it was not without gain. At least I knew that the other party's strength did not exceed my own by much.
Later, until daylight came, nothing strange appeared again.
Xu Junming, who had been meditating to transfer mana and practicing Taoism by the way, moved his ears, and the sound of footsteps coming from far and near came into his ears.
His consciousness swept away, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"The fat sheep is coming!"
…
Zhu Fengyou held on to the corner of the wall, stuck his head out, and looked anxiously at the small courtyard with a shabby fence in the distance in his eyes.
He lives in a village, so he naturally knows the address of Zhu Erlang's home.
And he also saw the young Taoist sitting cross-legged on the stone millstone in the courtyard.
When he saw the other party, the lifeless team at night emerged from the bottom of his heart, and the rotten and smelly appearance of his beloved concubine also appeared in his mind.
"Woo!"
Zhu Fengyou felt nauseous again, but he had vomited out all the bile long ago, and now his stomach was empty and there was nothing left to vomit.
But more than the physical discomfort, what he was more afraid of was what the Taoist said that he was not going to die soon.
He has a huge fortune, but he doesn't want to die young.
"Master, what are we...?"
Following him, two powerful servants asked hesitantly.
"Take your things and follow me, Master!"
After gritting his teeth and making up his mind, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the yard in front.
The servants did not dare to neglect and quickly followed.
The courtyard door was open, but considering the Taoist's ability, Zhu Fengyou did not dare to go in.
He stood outside the door respectfully and said loudly.
"Taoist Wanfu Jin'an, Tanhua Village Zhu Fengyou came to ask for an audience."
The two servants looked at the young Taoist in the courtyard with surprised expressions. They knew best what kind of temper their master had. They had never seen him so respectful when visiting the newly appointed county magistrate.
Xu Junming raised his eyes and said calmly: "Come in."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
Zhu Fengyou hurriedly walked in, took small steps to stand two meters in front of Xu Junming, and then bowed to the bottom.
"Zhu Fengyou of Tanhua Village paid a visit to the Taoist Priest. He thanked the Taoist Priest for saving my life last night. It was only a small gift, but I hope the Taoist Priest will accept it."
With a wave of his hands, the two servants stepped forward quickly and placed the gift boxes in their hands on the stone mill.
Xu Junming's consciousness swept away.
The box on the left contains fifty silver dollars, and the box on the right contains fine Danzhou cinnabar!
There are many sources of cinnabar in the world, but Danzhou cinnabar is indeed the best. As long as it is refined with magic power, it is the best raw material for drawing yellow talismans.
Of course, the price is not cheap, one tael costs twenty taels of silver. Especially in recent years, output has been decreasing and prices have been rising.
There are five taels of cinnabar in this box, and judging from the color, it has accumulated over the years and is full of spirituality, which is really good.
While feeling satisfied in his heart, Xu Junming also had a faint smile on his face.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Fengyou breathed a sigh of relief.
The gift is right.
"The Taoist Master said last night that my corpse spirit is in my bones and I will die soon...?"
"Do you doubt what Pindao said?"
"No, no, no, how dare I doubt the Taoist priest? It's just that I haven't felt anything strange about my body in the past few days, so I'm a little confused..."
"Forget it! I am a moral person, and I can't deceive you... Just lift up the clothes on your back and let your two servants see it."
Zhu Fengyou didn't dare to neglect, and quickly untied his clothes and lifted them up.
"Hurry and show me, master."
The two servants didn't dare to neglect. After a quick look, their expressions changed immediately, and the taller servant said in shock.
"Master, there is a black thing on your spine!"
Zhu Feng's expression changed drastically.
"You idiot, why don't you get it for me quickly?"
"Master, this thing is growing in your flesh and you can't get it out!" the servant said aggrievedly.
"Damn it, can't you think of a way? What do you do for me?"
"Okay, don't waste your efforts. Corpse Qi is invisible and has no quality. It would be weird if you waited for a few ordinary people to be able to take it out." Xu Junming said.
Zhu Fengyou was also smart. He knelt down with a bang and cried.
"Taoist Priest, I am the third generation of the Zhu family, and I am the only male. I hope that the Taoist Priest will be merciful and save my life."
"No more doubts?"
"Snapped…!"
He instantly gave himself a slap in the face.
"I was blinded by lard just now. I hope the Taoist priest won't be offended."
"That's all, I, the Taoist, am merciful. For the sake of your sincerity, I will save your life!"
Zhu Feng was overjoyed, wiped away a few drops of crocodile tears that he had squeezed out before, and knelt down again and again.
Xu Junming reached out and took out a small blue and white vase from the deerskin bag.
"This Dingyang Pill is made by me using 360 kinds of precious herbs. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. One pill will not only relieve the corpse energy in your body, but also prolong your life. There are many benefits."
Seeing the growing desire in Zhu Fengyou's eyes, Xu Junming's painting style changed.
"But the elixir is precious and cost me a lot of hard work. It should not be given lightly!"
Zhu Feng heard the harp song and knew its elegant meaning.
"Taoist Master, I am willing to buy it with a lot of money!"
"This guy is pretty good!" Xu Junming was satisfied.
"Looking at your sincerity, I don't want more. Five hundred taels of silver, you can take this elixir."
"Five hundred taels of silver?!"
Zhu Fengyou had a look of pain on his face.
"What, you don't want to? Forget it if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"No, no, no, yes, yes! It's just that I have more money. I hope the Taoist Master can grant me a few days of grace."
"I'll only give you one day. If you don't come after one day, this elixir will be useless. Just wish yourself well."
When he passed by Zhu Fengyou's home, his spiritual consciousness found no less than a thousand taels of silver in this person's yard. This was just floating wealth. If you include land deeds, real estate, etc., it would be even more.
For asking him for five hundred taels of silver, Xu Junming was considered to have a conscience.
Seeing the elixir he longed for put back into the yellow bag, Zhu Fengyou did not dare to act rashly even though he was very powerful and had practiced martial arts for many years.
I gritted my teeth, after all, money was more important than life.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master, I'll go home and get the money now!"
"Go for it!"
After waving his hand, Xu Junming closed his eyes and gave the order to expel the guests.
Zhu Fengyou stood up, bowed and saluted, and quickly left the hospital with his two servants.
Looking at his leaving figure, Xu Junming smiled faintly.
Along the way, he did the same thing six or seven times. If he met those from the fish and meat village, he would take more. If he met some that were pretty good, he would take less.
All the silver, gold, copper, iron, hardware, etc. that were obtained were refined into rough embryos.
And there is no psychological burden on him to do such a thing.
