"Er... In fact, I just want the Qi nourishing pill."
Shen Shi looks honest, but when she looks up, Zhong Qinglu looks disapproved and doesn't believe at all. She sighs and says, "In the shop of the Green Fish Gathering Pill Hall, one Qi Pill is sold for ten Holy Crystals, which is too expensive. I wanted to ask you if it could be cheaper."
Zhong Qinglu thought about last night, nodded slowly, and thought that he had come here for this, but then sneered and said, "It's strange. It's obvious that one Qi nourishing pill can sell ten Lingjing. Why should I sell you at a low price? I don't have such a good relationship with you."
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "You can make a pill for nourishing qi. If you don't take it yourself, the Dan Hall will buy it back and give you the price of five spirit crystals, right?"
Zhong Qinglu looked up and said, "You even know this."
Shen Shi smiled and said: "In fact, this is not a secret matter. Go to the herring market and say I have a gas pill to exchange for some Lingjing, and they will naturally say so."
Zhong Qinglu curled her mouth and seemed to accept Shen Shi's statement, but then shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe you don't know that you will often fail in alchemy. It still makes no sense if you give me Lingjing to make pills."
Shen Shi was silent for a little longer this time, and then slowly said, "If I said I would take care of you and make a good relationship with the possible great alchemists in the future, do you believe it?"
Zhong Qing showed up and said, "Don't believe me."
Shen Shi smiled bitterly, Avenue: "Well, to tell you the truth, I just thought about it temporarily. I went to see you to buy some qi pills cheaply. I've been hunting demons on the demon island these days, but my practice is too shallow. I can only use water archery three times. It takes me six hours to recover my power, and I can't do anything in a day. But if I have a qi pill, I can recover in two hours Come back, I can catch demons once or twice in one day, and the harvest will certainly increase. "
Zhong Qinglu's face changed slightly. Looking at Shen Shi's face for the first time, she said slowly: "No wonder I saw you coagulate a water arrow just now... You are only in the middle level of the gas refining state, and you dare to catch demons on the demon island? If I remember correctly, it should be the task of the red board!"
Shen Shi looked at the night, nodded, and said, "Yesterday was the first time I went to the demon island to catch demons. The harvest was two pieces of steel armadillo bone armor, and four Holy Crystals were replaced. If there was a nourishing pill, the income would at least double." He looked at Zhong Qinglu, and saw that she was already concentrated, her eyes were flashing, and she was obviously thinking about something. Under the moonlight, he suddenly felt that although the girl's cheeks were a little fat, she seemed to look pretty.
"I've asked about four kinds of Holy Materials needed to make a furnace of Qi nourishing Pill, and it would cost about ten Holy Crystals to purchase it completely. Regardless of the refining failure, the Pill Hall shops are selling it at five times the price. It's really a windfall profit." After saying that, he looked envious.
Zhong Qinglu snorted and said, "Well, even if I admit that you are reasonable and I would like to cooperate with you, have you ever thought about it? What if you buy spiritual materials for my Lingjing but fail to refine them?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "If you fail, you will lose all your money. But if you succeed once, you will have five times of huge profits. I think you can gamble."
Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt angry. She frowned and said, "What are you betting on? It's not you, it's me..." Her voice suddenly dropped. She felt that the meaning of the words was strange, and her cheeks also blushed slightly.
However, Shen Shi didn't think much about it. He nodded and said, "Yes, I know it looks absurd. What you bet on is your alchemy, ability and even... your luck. But have you ever thought that if this is our gambling, our chances of winning will keep growing."
Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
Shen Shi smiled and said: "Do you become more skilled every time you refine pills? Will I be more familiar with the monsters every time I go to the demon island? Will we both improve our ways in ten days and a half months, and in March and a half years? Will we both do better in our own ways?" He looked forward to it leisurely and said, "Maybe one day, you will finally master the art of refining the Qi Pill, which will be refined every time, and I will gain more every day on the demon island. I will come back and change it into a spirit crystal, and then buy more spirit materials for you to refine. You can refine them and then..."
"All right, stop talking..." Zhong Qinglu shook her head suddenly, but now her eyes were shining, and the whole person's face seemed different from before, obviously moved.
Shen Shi said with a smile, "How?"
Zhong Qinglu gritted her teeth and said, "Of course you said it well. If things are going to be like this, I would like to, but I can do it without you..."
"You can't." Shen Shi is light and authentic.
But Zhong Qinglu sank her face and said, "What do you mean?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said: "It takes too much to make pills, especially at the beginning of learning. You need to practice and buy spiritual materials, and you have a high probability of failure. If you make a mistake at random, it may take ten days and a half months or even more to gather all the spiritual materials needed for making pills. Am I right?"
Zhong Qinglu stopped talking.
Shen Shi looked at her and said, "For so long, no matter how talented you are, you will have to waste time under the restriction of the spirit crystal. Why are there so few senior brothers in Lingxiao Sect's Pill Hall who can become alchemists, even after they arrive at Ningyuan, because they have wasted a lot of time here from the beginning. Do you want to be like them?"
Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath. This time, she really looked at the man in front of her with a new look. After a long time, she looked serious and said, "Why did you choose me?"
Shen Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "There are several reasons. First, I interrupted your alchemy last night, and you also broke the furnace."
Zhong Qinglu snorted and glared at him.
Shen Shi laughed dryly and said, "Second, although I thought of this method temporarily, none of the senior brothers in the Pill Hall who had made some achievements in refining pills in the sect paid any attention to me. Among the new disciples, you are the first one to produce the Qi nourishing pill. If I don't choose you, should I go to look for other wastes?"
Zhong Qinglu laughed "poop poop poop", but then she immediately stiffened her face, looked up slightly, and said coldly, "Nonsense, those are brothers from the same school. They just don't practice alchemy as many times as I do. Maybe how many people will succeed in alchemy in the future!"
Shen Shi smiled and shook his head. After a moment of silence, he said, "The last thing is..." His face suddenly became strange. It seemed that he was missing something. Zhong Qinglu could not help asking after seeing him suddenly stop talking:
"What is it?"
Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, "My father is a businessman. Do you know?"
Zhong Qinglu shook her head in a daze. Shen Shi smiled and said, "My father told me before that the most important thing in business is to have a good eye. If you can see something that others can't see, you can catch it in advance and make a lot of money in the future."
Zhong Qinglu thought for a moment, then pointed to herself and said, "Do you mean that if you catch me, you can make a lot of money in the future?"
Shen Shi laughs, shakes his head, and then walks slowly to Zhong Qinglu. Looking at him, he has a pair of eyes that seem so bright when the moonlight is reflected in his eyes. Zhong Qinglu suddenly feels a little nervous, and unconsciously steps back, then listens to the young man slowly saying:
"No one can tell whether you will make any achievements in alchemy in the future. But now you are just starting, but it is the most difficult time and the time when you need help. I think this should be the time when others cannot see it. I think you can gamble. Do you want to gamble with me?"
At that moment, Zhong Qinglu dared not look at Shen Shi's bright eyes directly, as if his eyes were too bright and dazzling, which made her feel painful. But after a moment, she stubbornly raised her head, stared at Shen Shi, and said loudly:
"What dare I? You gave me Lingjing anyway!"
Shen Shi laughs and nods, then extends her hand to Zhong Qinglu. Zhong Qinglu looks at his palm and says, "What are you doing?"
"High fives are final!"
Zhong Qinglu sneered, glared at him and said, "Who wants to touch hands with you, a stinking man?"
Shen Shi was stunned and embarrassed. He smiled and drew back his hand slowly. Suddenly he heard Zhong Qinglu saying, "Put your hand out."
"Huh?" Shen Shi's hand stopped in the air. He didn't know why. For a moment, he couldn't understand what this strange girl meant. Zhong Qinglu suddenly put out her hand, but gave him a heavy slap on the back of his hand.
"Alas?" Shen Shi was startled, and the back of his hand ached faintly. He said in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"High fives, that's all."
"All right..."
※※※
The moonlight, like water, sprinkled on the silent beach in the dead of night, stretching two slender shadows.
In this quiet night, in the sea waves and night wind, it seems that only their words are echoing in the gloom, drifting around like smoke, and finally dissipating in the boundless night sky. I don't know if anyone will remember this night and the original agreement after many years. Well, the original business.
Who will really remember the words of youth, and who will really know?
Having said some basic things in the future, in fact, most of them are Shen Shi. Zhong Qinglu listens to them most of the time. For example, Shen Shi gives him a crystal that is enough to buy the elixir materials for making pills within a few days, and how many qi pills to give him after refining. Zhong Qinglu listens carefully, but it doesn't seem very clear in her mind. Anyway, just remember to make pills well.
After saying these things, they turned back to the direction of the cave when it was not early.
The footsteps stepped on the sand on the beach and made a thin sound. Zhong Qinglu suddenly felt unreal. She had come to the beach to relax when she came out tonight. Why is there such an agreement when she returns?
However, the terms he put forward... are really great. Every word seems to have its own pulse, and I can't help but agree.
While thinking about it, Zhong Qinglu suddenly heard Shen Shi beside her ask, "Younger Martial Sister Zhong, how much did your Dan stove cost last night?"
Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Shen Shi would suddenly ask about this, but she still replied: "Two hundred Lingjing, the most expensive thing is the Dan stove, even if I am the smallest one."
Shen Shi looked at it and thought for a while. "But I don't think so many Holy Crystals, with your income in the Pill Hall, plus you still need to buy Holy Materials to make pills yourself, are enough to buy such an expensive pill furnace?"
Zhong Qinglu said carelessly, "It's not enough, so I borrowed half of it from others."
Shen Shi was stunned and said, "Who is so rich?"
Zhong Qinglu smiles and shrugs. It seems that after talking this night, she has a close relationship with Shen Shi. Even this small action naturally sits out and says with a smile, "I don't know anyone very well, but my cousin, Qingzhu."
Shen Shi was stunned and then silent. They walked side by side. Shen Shi lowered his head slightly. As far as his eyes could see, he saw that his shadow in front of him covered a small piece of beach sand at some time, enveloping it in darkness.
It's dark, as if you can't really see it at all.
