Chapter 237: Refining the Green Spirit Liquid
The next day, Chen Heng had just woken up, and before he could go to the shopkeeper to ask about Qingling Alfalfa, the shopkeeper came to the door by himself.
"How's it going?
Chen Heng was not familiar with the situation in Qingling Town, and he only took a brief turn yesterday, if there was really any merchant who hid the spirit grass in private, it would naturally be impossible for him to know in a short period of time.
After all, the shopkeeper is a local person, and he is definitely a lot easier than Chen Heng in this regard.
The truth is indeed as Chen Heng thought, the shopkeeper immediately nodded excitedly, and said, "The little one asked a lot of families, and finally asked Lao Deng in the west of the town." ”
Without waiting for Chen Heng to reply, he continued: "That guy from Old Deng is really not much better than Tianlong Commercial Bank, he is absolutely snobbish, but fortunately, he only recognizes money, as long as he has money, he can get him." ”
Hearing this, Chen Heng also understood a little.
According to the shopkeeper's statement, it seems that Lao Deng is the kind of businessman who judges the world and knows how to look at the situation and raise the price of purchases.
Let's take this time as an example, that Lao Deng should have seen Tianlong Commercial Bank buy Qingling Alfalfa on a large scale, in a short period of time, this spirit grass will definitely be out of stock in large quantities, for the people who have used this spirit grass for a long time, it must be a very uncomfortable thing to not be able to buy Qingling alfalfa.
So he saved a large number of them first, as long as he was not discovered by the Tianlong Trading House, he could secretly sell them at a more expensive price than usual, and this price may be several times the original, or even dozens of times that is unknown.
Speaking of which, Chen Heng also admires such a person, if he hadn't chosen to take the path of cultivator at the beginning, maybe he would have chosen to be such a businessman.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng smiled slightly and asked, "Then how much does he have stored there?"
Chen Heng didn't ask the price, anyway, for him, the current money is not money at all, even if he squanders it, it will be difficult to spend it, as long as it is not spent on unscrupulous merchants like Tianlong Commercial Bank.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specifics, but he has a basement at home, which is full of it, and I'm afraid it's enough to be worth one-third of the acquisition of Tianlong Commercial Bank during this time." ”
Hearing this number, Chen Heng was also taken aback, it seems that this old Deng is indeed quite capable, and he has secretly hidden so much that he has not been discovered by Tianlong Commercial Bank.
If Chen Heng had purchased all these spirit grasses and finally been informed by the Tianlong Commercial Bank, I am afraid they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Of course, if Tianlong Commercial Bank wants to be angry, it will bear the brunt of it, and that old Deng must have suffered something.
However, since he wants to make a lot of money, he should naturally take the risks, and Chen Heng didn't think about helping him with anything, just kept it as secret as possible.
"If there were so many, it would be enough. I don't know if you have time now, take me there!"
Chen Heng said, and threw another bag of spiritual rice to the shopkeeper, which was no longer left, and the whole bag was almost full, I am afraid that there would be no less than a few hundred catties.
"Huh?!" Just a little glance, the shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim, and the hand holding the spiritual rice bag trembled a little.
These spiritual rice are just a drop in the bucket for Chen Heng, but for the shopkeeper, they are enough to withstand his salary for more than half a year, I am afraid that he has lived for so long and has never saved so much money.
Looking at Chen Heng with a little uncertainty, the shopkeeper said tentatively, "Uncle, these are used to buy spirit grass?"
If you just buy spirit grass, I'm afraid you can't buy too much spirit rice for a few hundred catties, right? At least it is far from enough to buy the spirit grass of the old Deng family's entire secret room.
Chen Heng smiled slightly, and said: "I will naturally calculate with him when I buy the spirit grass, these are for you, and it can be regarded as the money to buy news, this trip has worked hard for you!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard, the little one will go and talk to the shopkeeper immediately, and then I'll take the uncle and you to the old Deng family. ”
The shopkeeper got such a large tip for nothing, and he was naturally full of joy.
Seeing him so happy, Chen Heng also smiled, but his heart was full of emotion.
I think that at the beginning, when he was mining underground, if he could meet someone and throw a spiritual rice bag to him, it would not be so poor.
The shopkeeper didn't go for long and came back soon.
In order not to be too ostentatious and discovered by the people of Tianlong Commercial Bank, Chen Heng still did not bring Zhang Ruohan when he came out this time, but followed the shopkeeper to the west of the town.
Lao Deng is an old man who is thin and over half a hundred years old, but his face is not a little old, and his eyes are constantly flickering, so that Chen Heng knows that this is a very shrewd person at a glance.
"Can I know what you're here for with so many green spirit alfalfa?"
After Chen Heng and the others expressed their intentions, Lao Deng did not accept it, but flashed his eyes, looking left and right.
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper was really afraid that the other party would offend a big customer like Chen Heng, so he gave Lao Deng a look again and again, but Lao Deng turned a deaf ear and was so anxious that the shopkeeper stared at him there.
Chen Heng smiled at this, he understood what Lao Deng meant, a businessman like this should always be careful.
Although Chen Heng did look like a big lord, after all, he was very raw, who could be sure that he was not the person sent by the Tianlong Trading House to investigate? If Lao Deng exposed the fact that he had hidden so many spirit grasses as soon as he opened his mouth, it would be impossible for him to do business to this extent.
However, Chen Heng didn't want to explain to him, but took a gem from the Qiankun bag at random, threw it to Lao Deng, and said with a smile: "You don't have to figure out who I am, these should be enough to buy your spirit grass." Now that the money has been given to you, go straight to the delivery. ”
Seeing Chen Heng's movements, Lao Deng was slightly stunned, but he was obviously not like a person with a shallow vision like the shopkeeper, although he received a valuable gem from Chen Heng, but he only had a glimmer of light in his eyes when he saw it, unlike the shopkeeper, he almost couldn't stand.
Putting the gem away closely, Lao Deng glanced at Chen Heng deeply, and then didn't say anything, but turned around and walked directly to the inner room, and said at the same time: "Follow me!"
Lao Deng is also a person who knows how to read people, after a short period of contact, he knows that Chen Heng is the kind of person who doesn't like to talk nonsense, and whether it is in terms of words or bearing, he also understands that if Chen Heng wants to forcibly snatch it, he has no way at all.
If you play that set of light and dark again, it doesn't anger the other party, and then the gains outweigh the losses.
Regarding Lao Deng's acquaintance, Chen Heng also nodded secretly, and instructed the shopkeeper to let him wait outside, and he followed Lao Deng inside.
In the secret room where Lao Deng stored the spirit grass, the passage was opened under his own wooden bed, and after the bed board was lifted, a passage was revealed.
Just a brief glance, Chen Heng was secretly amazed in his heart.
Although his secret room was not as macroscopic as the underground of Kongsang Mountain that Chen Heng had seen before, it could be said to be top-notch among civilians.
At the very least, the stone built in the secret chamber was extremely strong, and if it weren't for a cultivator, I am afraid that it would not be possible to destroy it with a weapon.
Moreover, there are also a lot of moonstones embedded in the passage, which is much brighter than the mine where Chen Heng was at the beginning.
The most important thing is that there must be a lot of ventilation holes hidden in this secret room, so there is no dampness underground, but it looks quite dry, not like an underground secret room at all.
Using this kind of place to store spiritual grass, even if it is left for a few months, I am afraid that it will not lose too much.
"Your gem is enough to take all the Qingling alfalfa here, just take it at will, but please keep it a secret, it's best not to let the people of Tianlong Trading House know, otherwise you will have some trouble. ”
He didn't say that he had any trouble after being discovered, but said that Chen Heng would have some trouble, this kind of tactfulness in small aspects, but it also showed his shrewdness from the side.
In this way, Chen Heng will not only not be annoyed by his words, but will also consider his own situation to some extent.
Chen Heng nodded slightly, and without looking carefully, he collected all the Qingling alfalfa stacked there.
This secret room is not too big, it should be about dozens of square meters, and Chen Heng used the newly bought Qiankun bag, which was not enough to fill it.
After getting the Qingling Alfalfa, Chen Heng was also secretly relieved, originally he was ready to have a hard encounter with Tianlong Commercial Bank, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
After harvesting the Qingling alfalfa, Chen Heng did not stay, he came out directly, and after meeting the shopkeeper, he left Lao Deng's house directly.
Three days later, in the inn room, Chen Heng was alone next to a large medicine barrel, and the pungent and unpleasant smell filled the entire room.
If there were other people here, they would definitely frown and complain because of the smell.
But Chen Heng turned a deaf ear to all this, just staring at the changes in the medicine barrel with his eyes.
"It's time!"
At this moment, Chen Heng's eyes froze, his hands shook again and again, and many materials flew into the medicine barrel from his hands, which also neutralized the smell emanating from the medicine barrel, and it didn't smell so bad.
When the materials entered the potion, a faint blue color was visible to the naked eye, and the materials quickly sank, and the water below became transparent, forming a clear dividing line.
"Is this the Qingling liquid? It doesn't seem to be anything special!"
Chen Heng muttered a few words, and then took out the Shanhe pot, rubbed the bottom of the pot, and sucked in the layer of light cyan liquid on it.
"This refinement alone is probably enough for me to drink for more than half a year. ”
"Moreover, the amount of green alfalfa consumed seems to be only a small amount. ”
"It seems that I still bought too much, but fortunately, the Qiankun bag has a preservation effect, but it can be kept forever. ”
Chen Heng bought a lot of Qingling alfalfa from Lao Deng, judging from the proportion, even if the body is immune in the future, the amount needed will gradually increase, but it is enough for him to support for a long time.
"Hmm, try it first!"
Chen Heng poured a little out of the mountain and river pot and took a sip tentatively.
As soon as the Qing Spirit Liquid was in, his brows instantly twisted into a ball.
"It's so bitter, it's so unpleasant!"
It's not that Chen Heng is a picky eater, his taste can be regarded as the public, as long as it's not too unpalatable, he basically won't be too picky, but the taste of this Qingling liquid is indeed a little bitter and difficult to eat.
However, the effect was still obvious, just after the bitter taste, Chen Heng could clearly feel a trace of vitality full of energy, which exerted from those medicinal liquids, integrated into his body, and spread all over his limbs.
"This effect is really not bad, if you use this to cultivate Aoki's longevity technique, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
After feeling it, a hint of joy appeared on Chen Heng's face.
Judging from this situation, even if he can't find the Heavenly Treasure in a short period of time, I'm afraid it will be enough to maintain Aoki's cultivation of the Immortal Technique.
Of course, the Qingling Liquid can only be used as a palliative, and if you really want to cultivate the Aoki Immortal Formula, you still have to go according to the original plan.
"That's not right!"
Just when Chen Heng was thinking in his heart, the blood stone on his chest suddenly flashed, and the big and strong figure of the pig also appeared in the room.
Then without waiting for Chen Heng to react, he shouted loudly: "The quality of this Qingling liquid is very abnormal!"
