Chapter 1018 Blood Coagulation Pill
Lu Chen, who was sitting behind the stall, heard the voice and thought that a customer had come, so he stood up quickly. He first bowed slightly to the visitor, and then replied with a smile:
"In reply to the Immortal, I have just set up a stall here not long ago. I hope the Immortal will take good care of me."
However, facing Lu Chen's humble attitude, the visitor had no expression on his face and still said coldly:
"According to the rules here, each stall needs to pay one thousand low-grade immortal crystals as rent every day."
After saying that, he took a sip of the tea in the cup, making a sizzling sound.
Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his brows frowned involuntarily.
After all, he had just arrived and didn't know the man in front of him at all.
Moreover, one thousand low-grade immortal crystals are by no means a small amount for him. Especially as he is currently short of money, this expense will undoubtedly bring him tremendous pressure.
At this moment, the silent old man seemed to see Lu Chen's doubts.
He walked up to the man with a big smile on his face, nodding and flattering him:
"Oh! It turns out that it is Manager Qian who has come to visit us. I am so sorry for not welcoming you. Your Excellency is so magnanimous. Our business has been really bleak these past few days. Could you please show some leniency and give us a few more days?
When business picks up in a few days, we will definitely double the rent and never default on it. Is that okay with you?"
As he spoke, the old man secretly winked at Lu Chen from time to time, signaling him to quickly agree with a few good words. At the same time, he was also hinting at the identity of Manager Qian.
"Humph!"
I saw Manager Qian snorted coldly with a gloomy face, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling cold light, and then said:
"Rules are rules, no one can break them, and there will be no exceptions!
If you can't even afford this little rent, then don't embarrass yourself here, pack up your junk and get out of here!"
When saying this, Manager Qian's tone was extremely firm, as if this was the final ultimatum with no room for negotiation.
Lu Chen and the old man stood in front of the stall, looking at the indifferent face of Manager Qian, feeling helpless.
But they had no choice. In order to keep their stall, they had to hand over the Immortal Crystal.
When the old man handed the fairy crystal to Manager Qian, his eyes revealed reluctance and heaviness.
After taking the fairy crystal, Manager Qian turned his gaze to Lu Chen standing beside him, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Manager Qian, this..."
Lu Chen originally wanted to make a few more arguments, but he saw the obvious look of impatience on the other party's face.
He had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and took out a thousand low-grade immortal crystals from his storage ring.
After getting the fairy crystal, Manager Qian walked towards the big man on Lu Chen’s right.
However, the big man didn't waste any time and directly handed over the fairy crystals, then continued to wait for customers to come.
"It's really unlucky. We haven't even opened yet and we've already lost a thousand immortal crystals. This is really a rip-off."
After paying the rent, Lu Chen sat back in his chair, thinking helplessly.
Time passed by minute by minute, until several hours later, and Lu Chen's stall still hadn't welcomed a single potential customer.
Some of them were just monks who occasionally passed by and stopped for a while to watch the fun.
Most of them just looked around curiously and left in a hurry, showing no interest in Lu Chen's stall.
This made Lu Chen, who was originally full of expectations, gradually feel depressed.
Until another hour or two passed, just when Lu Chen was almost in despair and was ready to close the stall and find another way out.
A monk in a dark red robe walked slowly over and stopped in front of his stall.
The cultivator cast his eyes towards the crude wooden sign in front of Lu Chen, on which were clearly written the words "Refine all elixirs below the ninth grade, with a 50% success rate".
After reading it, he raised his head again and looked up and down at Lu Chen carefully, as if trying to judge the authenticity of these words from his appearance and expression.
After a while, the monk finally couldn't help but speak, and asked with a somewhat doubtful and tentative tone:
"My fellow Daoist, what is written on your sign is 'Refine all elixirs below the ninth grade, with a 50% success rate'. Do you really mean it?"
Lu Chen, who had been eagerly waiting for customers to come, was instantly energized after hearing these words.
He immediately showed a flattering smile and responded enthusiastically:
“Of course this is absolutely true, otherwise, how could I dare to label it so boldly?
Moreover, if the alchemy fails, not only will I not charge you a single centimeter of immortal crystal, but I will also compensate you for all the materials I spent at the original price.”
In order to successfully complete this first business and open smoothly, Lu Chen has now made a promise to the other party at all costs.
The cultivator nodded slightly upon hearing this, seeming to be satisfied with Lu Chen's answer, "So, you are very confident in your alchemy skills?"
"Of course, but there is no point in saying more. If you need it, you may give it a try."
Lu Chen straightened his back, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.
After hearing this, the monk in the dark red robe had a glimmer of interest in his eyes.
"In that case, can you refine a special medicine for me - the Blood Coagulation Pill?"
When Lu Chen heard the words "Blood Coagulation Pill", his heart suddenly trembled. He knew that this was a relatively unpopular seventh-grade elixir.
The reason why it is unpopular is that this kind of elixir is mainly used to help monks restore their essence and blood.
However, generally speaking, unless it is a life-and-death battle, few cultivators would burn their own blood.
Moreover, if only a small amount of essence and blood is burned, the cultivator can completely recover on his own.
If the other party can use the Blood Coagulation Pill, it means that he must have a friend who urgently needs this pill, or he has been taking this pill recently.
However, Lu Chen soon thought of another possibility. That is, with the other party's cultivation level of the late Xuanxian, it means that the other party's friends are at least at this level.
But what kind of battle would drive such a big shot to the point of burning his blood and essence?
Moreover, the other party was obviously deliberately hiding his cultivation level, which was a bit abnormal.
Will this cause me to get caught up in their turmoil?
It only takes a moment for this thought to come to mind.
It’s no wonder that Lu Chen thought too much. He has experienced too much and is a little paranoid.
When the cultivator saw Lu Chen hesitating again and again, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if laughing at himself about how he could trust an alchemist who sold medicine on the street.
Then the man was about to turn around and leave, but Lu Chen stopped him in time:
"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. Although the Blood Coagulation Pill is a rare treasure and can condense the lost blood essence of the cultivator,
It can enable the monk to recover in a short period of time, and may even allow his cultivation to reach a higher level.
But I happen to be able to refine it, but I wonder if you have prepared the necessary materials?"
The cultivator was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that Lu Chen knew so much about the effects of the Blood Coagulation Pill. He nodded and motioned Lu Chen to continue.
“First, you need a blood spirit grass that is more than 500 years old. This is one of the main ingredients of the blood coagulation pill. It contains rich blood energy and can nourish the human body’s essence and blood.
Secondly, three drops of golden-horned rhino blood are needed, which can enhance the effect of the elixir and make the user more courageous in battle.
Another thing is a wood crystal with fire attribute, which is used to stimulate the effectiveness of other materials.
Finally, the petals of the Nine-Leaf Purple Magnolia are indispensable, as they can reconcile the conflicts between the various materials, ensure the quality of the elixir, and so on. "
After listening to Lu Chen's brief introduction, the monk's eyes flashed with admiration, and then asked:
"It seems that you are indeed quite knowledgeable about this. So, how many immortal crystals do you think are needed to make a move?"………………
