Chapter 144 Wishful thinking

"I bought you a three-legged copper alchemy furnace, a second-level mid-grade, worth five thousand spirit stones. Even if you build a foundation, it will be enough."

Zhu Qiniang led Gao Xian to the east courtyard, where there was a spacious alchemy room alone, with a three-legged copper alchemy furnace over four feet high already placed on a pedestal.

Normally, a second-level alchemy furnace does not require the use of charcoal fire. Designing a charcoal burning pedestal also takes into account the need for heating and can save spiritual stones.

Gao Xian fiddled with the three-legged bronze alchemy furnace for a while. The structure was similar to his original alchemy furnace, but more sophisticated.

The alchemy furnace contains the Five Elements Magic Formation, which can be activated by the Five Elements magic power, and is no longer limited to the two magic powers of water and fire.

In other words, through the five elements of mana, you can arbitrarily combine it into thousands of changes and refine thousands of kinds of elixirs.

Yuan Tong is extremely friendly to spiritual energy, allowing alchemists to more accurately control the temperature of the alchemy furnace and refine higher-grade elixirs.

There are holes inlaid with spiritual stones on the three legs. The higher the level of the alchemy furnace, the more spiritual stones will be consumed.

If you use all spiritual stones to activate, at least nine low-grade spiritual stones must be invested at one time.

Gao Xian was very satisfied with the new alchemy furnace and went to the next room to look around. Qiniang had already prepared a large amount of medicinal materials.

There was only one bedroom and half a living room, with ordinary furnishings.

"The place we live in is a bit shabby." Gao Xian felt that the bedroom was similar to his home in Pegasus, which made him a little disappointed.

Zhu Qiniang glanced at Gao Xian and said, "This bedroom is reserved for Daniel. You and I will live in the main room.

"Uh, not so good."

Gao Xian was a little hesitant. Pegasus was a small place and it didn't matter how he and Qiniang lived.

There are so many Zhu family members, and if he and Qiniang live together, it is inevitable that people will gossip.

Zhu Qiniang said calmly: "I am a foundation-building monk. Who dares to laugh at me? The most they can do is laugh at you privately."

She asked again: "You don't care about other people's gossip, do you?"

Gao Xian said nonchalantly: "No one dares to talk nonsense in front of me anyway."

Seeing that Gao Xian's expression was a little weird, Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but smile. She took the initiative to hold Gao Xian's hand and said, "The people below don't understand the rules, so you just deal with them. In this family, you are the master!"

Gao Xian was in a good mood. He chuckled a little in Qiniang's ear and said, "I am the master, and you are my little dog?"

Zhu Qiniang rolled her eyes at Gao Xian. Although she didn't quite understand, she knew that this was definitely not serious talk.

However, she is used to Gao Xian like this. If Gao Xian always looks serious, she will find it boring.

Zhu Qiniang called the housekeeper Li Niang over. She pointed at Gao Xian and said, "This is my best friend Gao Xian. He will live here forever. His words are the same as mine."

Li Niang hurriedly bowed respectfully, "I've met Master Gao."

Li Niang is in her fifties and is in the middle stage of Qi training. She is tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is a bit ugly, and her words and deeds carry a capable energy.

Gao Xian nodded: "I will trouble you more in the future."

"Master, you are too polite. If you need anything, just give me your instructions."

Li Niang hurriedly apologized, her posture was very humble.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, and after bowing, she quietly left the main hall.

Li Niang knew that Zhu Qiniang had a cold and ruthless temperament and ruthless methods. She was extremely in awe of this person.

She didn't expect that Zhu Qiniang would be so intimate with a young man. She said she was a close friend, but there was something wrong with the relationship between the two.

However, for Zhu Qiniang to take him so seriously, she must not offend Gao Xian.

Li Niang called many servants and guards over and told Gao Xian's story. She asked everyone to respect Gao Xian and never talk about it in private.

There were fifty or sixty people in the courtyard, and most of them couldn't keep secrets. Especially this kind of affair involving Zhu Qiniang spread quickly.

What these people don't know is that Gao Xian would use the Shadowless Dharma Clothes to wander around when he had nothing to do at night.

There were a few people who liked to discuss and arrange Gao Xian's guards and maids in private, and Gao Xian wrote them down in a small book.

Gao Xian was not joking. He recorded the names of these people and the contents of their conversations in a book and gave it to Zhu Qiniang.

Zhu Qiniang cleared these people away without politeness.

Although there is no punishment on the person, they can be removed from the Zhu family, which means they can no longer obtain any resources from the Zhu family.

Without the protection of the Zhu family, they would not even be able to continue living in Lianyung City.

For low-level cultivators, this is a devastating blow.

Zhu Qiniang's thunderous tactics also made others realize that Qiniang valued Gao Xian, and everyone in the Zhu family was shocked.

From then on, the name Gao Xian even became taboo, and no one dared to mention it.

Gao Xian is quite satisfied with the effect. In his previous life, he couldn't cure the Internet gossips. In this life, he wants those people who are mean-mouthed to be punished!

Other people's gossip is a trivial matter, but the sale of Lujiaosan and Tianguidan is a big deal.

Lianyung City is different from Pegasus City. There are many medicine halls here, such as his master Sanyuantang, Lingyuntang opened by Xu Lingyun, etc., all of which are qualified to sell elixirs.

For cultivators, elixirs are a necessity, and the profits are the highest. There are many medicine halls, which also makes the elixir industry fiercely competitive.

The reason why the Changsheng Hall can stand is because Zhu Changsheng is a master of alchemy and can refine the elixir of longevity. This elixir is very effective and is of great benefit to those who practice foundation building.

After Zhu Changsheng's death, although Zhu Qiniang rose to prominence, she was not an alchemist, and the business of Changshengtang was greatly affected.

During this period, Zhu Qiniang also mainly promoted Tiangui Dan and Lujiao San.

For Lianyuncheng, Tiangui Dan and Lujiaosan are low-level elixirs that no one cares about.

After a period of promotion, the special characteristics of Tiangui Dan and Lujiaosan refined by Gao Xian gradually became apparent.

The business of Changshengtang is booming day by day, which makes Zhu Qiniang relieved. With Gao Xian here, the business of Changshengtang can be sustained.

Because practitioners who come to buy Tiangui Dan and Lujiao Powder will also buy some other elixirs.

For a store, a large amount of popularity is a huge wealth in itself.

The competition among several medicine halls in Lianyuncheng is very fierce. Changshengtang's business is not doing well, but the other medicine halls are happy to see the success.

As a result, they were not happy for two days, and Changshengtang's business quickly picked up again.

Several medicine halls originally looked down upon low-end elixirs such as Lujiaosan and Tianguidan. No one could have imagined that this product would become a big seller, and it is becoming more and more popular.

Xu Lingyun's Lingyuntang was also greatly affected. He was busy tracking down the murderer during this period, but found no useful clues.

The main reason is that Xu Shengye and his group are all dead, and no one else knows what Xu Shengye and his group are doing or who they offend.

He also heard that Sanyuantang was disbanded and Xu Mingyuan's disciples made a fuss. But he didn't think these had anything to do with Xu Shengye's murder. He mainly focused on investigating the situation of other foundation-building monks.

At this time, the sales of low-level elixirs were getting worse and worse. The medicine hall was his most profitable business, and he had no intention of tracking down the murderer.

In order to solve the problem, Xu Lingyun summoned several alchemists from the medicine hall to study Tiangui Dan and Lujiao San together.

After struggling for several days, I cut and crushed the elixirs and tried to reverse engineer the formulas for the two elixirs.

The problem is that there are no special medicinal materials in the two elixirs, which stumped several alchemists. Xu Lingyun kept watching from the side, which put several alchemists under great pressure.

After a few days, several alchemists looked haggard.

Seeing Xu Lingyun come in, several alchemists had pale faces and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xu Lingyun.

Xu Lingyun frowned slightly: "How's it going?"

Bai Yanping, the leading alchemist, said tremblingly: "Sir, we didn't find any special medicinal materials."

"That's it?" Xu Lingyun was a little impatient. These masters of alchemy under his command had been struggling for several days and found nothing. What a waste!

Bai Yanping was intimidated by the powerful magic power emitted by the foundation-building monk, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

He hurriedly said: "Sir, the two elixirs are so effective. We think it is the alchemist who is highly skilled and has maximized the medicinal properties of the elixirs..."

Xu Lingyun waved his hand: "Okay, you go down and rest."

After sending several alchemists away, Xu Lingyun's face turned gloomy. He was proficient in alchemy and had already seen that the two elixirs were traditional elixir recipes and no other medicinal materials were added.

But he didn't give up, so he asked a few alchemists to take another look.

Xu Lingyun was silent for a while, then called one of his subordinates and said: "Go to the Zhu family and bribe a few people to find out who refined the Lujiao San and Tiangui Dan..."

Money can make the world go round.

There were so many people in the Zhu family, and many of them were punished by Gao Xian and resented him. It didn't take long for Xu Lingyun to know how to refine Lujiaosan. The alchemist of Tiangui Dan was named Gao Xian, and he had a close relationship with Zhu Qiniang.

close.

Moreover, Gao Xian was actually Xu Mingyuan's apprentice. This made Xu Lingyun very interested.

Xu Mingyuan is his cousin. Although the relationship between the two is not close, they are real relatives. If Xu Mingyuan is his apprentice, then he is his apprentice!

Xu Lingyun's heart suddenly became excited when he thought of this. As long as he grabs Gao Xian, he can earn tens of thousands more spiritual stones every year! For a great foundation-building monk, this is also a huge sum of money.

As for Zhu Qiniang, it is of course a bit tricky. However, as a foundation builder who has just been promoted, why should she fight with him, an elder of the inner sect!

It's just that you can't go to Zhu's house and rob people directly. This is a bit unreasonable.

Xu Lingyun rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea. Since Gao Xian is Xu Mingyuan's apprentice, the same goes for Bai Yurong.

Gao Xian has become his apprentice, who dares to compete with him? So what if Zhu Qiniang is not convinced!
