Chapter 233: A Woman Surnamed Sun
The flame filament had already spread a small half of the rune paper, and the amount of mind consumed at this time had reached an incomprehensible level.
And at this moment, the golden light in Ji Liao's eyes disappeared, revealing the pair of pitch-black eyes again, and at the same time, the Qilin True Fire between the two fingers also subsided.
At the moment when the Qilin True Fire disappeared, the rune paper on his fingertips trembled suddenly, and then immediately a ball of fire flared up, and within a moment it turned into a cloud of ashes.
Ji Liao smiled on his face and nodded lightly, he was not annoyed by this failure but was very happy.
He had found a workable method for this attempt, and had also jot down the veins of some high-level runes, which were enough for him now.
Now what he has to do is to write down what he got today, and he understands that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
He believed that as long as he memorized these things, then in the future, when he pushed back the rune paper, he would not have to work so hard at the beginning, and it would probably not take long for him to figure out this high-level rune paper.
Ji Liao sat up cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed and breathing, recalling the scene just now and remembering it in his mind.
"Knock knock. The sound of three taps on the stone slab came faintly from the entrance of the secret room.
Ji Liao, who was cross-legged, opened his eyes, glanced at the door lightly, and then got up and walked over.
This voice was agreed between him and Lu Zhu, as long as the morning dawned, the people outside knocked on the bed board three times, and the people in the secret room had to leave immediately, so as not to attract the attention of the people outside.
The light flashed, and Ji Liao's figure fell into his hut with Lu Zhu.
He pointed his finger at the open bed.
I heard a buzzing sound and the bed slatted shut.
Seeing Ji Liao's appearance, the corners of Lu Zhu's mouth turned up slightly, "Senior Brother Ji looks at you with a haggard appearance, what kind of exercises did you study last night?"
Ji Liao's eyebrows moved, "If only I had the Heavenly Exercises." After speaking, he glanced outside the door, "Let's go, it's time to work!"
The door opened, and the figures of Ji Liao and Lu Zhu walked out, and the two of them pretended to stretch their waists together, and let out a happy moan from their mouths.
"Eh, Zhang Fan, Tiezhu, you just got up?" At this time, a person passing by stopped and asked when he saw Ji Liao and the others.
This person is only sixteen or seventeen years old, not very old, named Jiang He, is a native of the Wilderness, but because of his poor family, he has been working as a partner in Huiyuan shops for a long time, and he also lives in Huiyuan shops for food and housing.
He also has some cultivation on his body, but he only has the realm of the second layer of Qi acceptance.
Half of the member shops are the same as Jiang He, they are all natives of the Wild West, Ye Tong hired them not only because of the low cost of hiring locals, but also because they understand the local customs, of course, also because there are a few Wild West people in the shop, so that Ba Diecheng will not make it difficult for Huiyuan shops, but this is all a secret rule, and it will not be brought to the surface
said.
"Ah, I slept late last night!" replied with a smile.
In a month's time, Ji Liao and Lu Zhu are already familiar with the people here, because of their personalities, Lu Zhu usually has a good relationship with these people, although Ji Liao has no conflict with them, but these people in the store can see that Ji Liao is a person who is not easy to approach, and usually it is just to say hello.
Jiang He glanced around, looked sneaky, approached Ji Liao and the others, and whispered, "Eh, I heard that the proprietress is coming over today." ”
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu glanced at each other, thinking that something interesting would happen, but they didn't expect Jiang He's appearance to be like this.
Ye Tong has been doing business in the two places for many years, and has already set up a family in Huangxi, his wife is a very beautiful Huangxi woman, and she is more than 30 years younger than Ye Tong, and the two stand together as if they are father and daughter.
And although the woman in the wilderness can do it, it's just that this temperament is really a bit rude, and she usually doesn't come to the shop, but as long as she comes to the shop, she looks like she is commanding from above, as long as she is unhappy with what she does, it is a scolding, and the guys below are silent and dare not speak out.
"Hahaha, then we'd better be careful with our work today. Lu Zhu laughed, patted Jiang He's shoulder and said.
Ji Liao also grinned in response.
Jiang He saw that Ji Liao and Lu Zhu looked indifferent, and shook his head with a wry smile, when the shopkeeper came back last month, Lu Zhu was injured, Ye Tong's explanation to these guys was that the caravan had been hijacked, but fortunately, the four of them were in the same flying boat, and they escaped with their lives under the desperate protection, so the shopkeeper favored these two people and was much more tolerant than others.
"Let's go, work!" Ji Liao said lightly, and walked towards the shop in the front yard first.
Huiyuan shops are more famous in Badiecheng, and the scale can also be ranked in the middle and upper reaches.
The shop has a total of three floors of attics, the first floor is mostly for selling some less expensive things, generally only some monks of the desert west below the seventh floor will buy and sell things here, and it is also the first floor where the most people come and go.
The things sold on the second floor of the shop were much more valuable than the first floor, not only were there many precious spiritual herbs, spiritual materials, and even valuable pills such as condensate pills, which were much more leisurely than the first floor, and at the same time, people who were not Ye Tongren would not be assigned to work on the second floor at all.
The things sold in this third layer are even more valuable, and the cultivation is not enough to absorb qi above the thirteenth layer, and they are not qualified to go to the third layer at all, because most of the things sold in it are too high-level, Ye Tong spent a lot of money and hired a monk in the foundation building period of the deserted west to guard it all the year round.
As for the monk in the foundation building period, he usually didn't step out of the attic at all, and in the past month, Ji Liao had only heard that he had never seen it.
Of course, Ye Tong trusted Ji Liao and Lu Zhu, but the two of them had just arrived here, and Ye Tong was not easy to handle
They were sent to the second floor.
The first floor of Huiyuan's shop is very large and the decoration is extremely luxurious.
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu walked in, and at this time, several people had already opened the door of the shop, and the two of them didn't say anything more, picked up the rag and wiped it in all corners of the shop.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
"This guest officer, you see that the year of this Snow Moon Grass is at least eighty years, looking at the quality of this spirit grass, it definitely grows in a place where the spiritual energy is pure, and the spirituality contained in it is also excellent, you buy it back to alchemy will definitely have a great improvement in the level of the elixir, and eighty low-grade spirit stones are already very cheap. At this time, Ji Liao was standing in front of a man who only had five layers of qi, holding a jade box in his hand, introducing him to a moon-white spirit grass placed in it.
"Eighty lower-grade spirit stones are too expensive, I can produce sixty at most. The man shook his head and said slowly.
"Guest officer, are you still short of those twenty spirit stones in this outfit?" Ji Liao remained silent, laughing and bargaining with the man.
The man frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Have you done this for this price?"
Ji Liao seemed to have expected it, his expression did not change at all, and he nodded, "Look at what you said, of course you do it, if you have to do everything yourself, what do you want us guys to do!"
The man pondered for a moment when he heard this, and only after a long time did he bow his head slightly, and said, "In this case, let's fold it, and I will keep the seventy spirit stones of the spirit grass, if not, then I will go elsewhere to take a look." ”
"Uh...."Ji Liao showed an embarrassed expression, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh, looking like he was in pain, "Okay, I will make you a friend today, even if the shopkeeper is punished, I will admit it, seventy is seventy, I am in charge of this matter." ”
"Hmm!" the man nodded, slapped the storage bag on his waist, and took out seventy lower-grade spirit stones.
Ji Liao smiled, took the spirit stone, and handed over the jade box in his hand.
Looking at the man's distant back, Ji Liao shook his head lightly.
"Zhang Fan is amazing. At this time, Jiang He came up and patted Ji Liao on the shoulder and said, "Snow Moon Grass, you can sell it for the price of seventy lower-grade spirit stones." ”
"You have to know how to observe words, although that person tried his best to suppress himself, it is not difficult to see that he urgently needs Xueyue Grass, so as long as the price is not too outrageous, these people will shoot under normal circumstances. Ji Liao replied with a smile.
"Eh, you Shendong people are really all profiteers. Jiang He said with a sigh.
Ji Liao smiled but said nothing.
It didn't take long for a middle-aged woman to suddenly walk in at the gate, this woman was dressed like a woman in the wilderness, except that the light gauze around her chest was embroidered with a blooming flower bud, and the lower gauze skirt was hung with many fluorescent spars as embellishments, which were different from ordinary people at a glance.
Her face was slightly gloomy
, It seems that there is something to worry about, but the fluctuations emanating from this body are already the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building.
Ji Liao's eyes flickered.
At the same time, the movement of Lu Zhu in the distance also froze, and he glanced here, but immediately continued to do the work at hand.
"Senior..."
"Jiang He, I'll entertain this senior. ”
Jiang He sensed the fluctuations emanating from the woman who came in, his eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward to speak, when Ji Liao shouted behind him.
"Huh?" Jiang Hehu glanced back at Ji Liao suspiciously, and then smiled, "Okay!"
After saying that, he bowed his hand apologetically to the woman, and turned to leave.
"This senior is here, and the small shop is shining. Ji Liao stepped forward and bowed deeply to the woman and said with a smile.
The woman swept over Ji Liao's body, and found that the aura on his body was chaotic, and she couldn't see what kind of cultivation it was, she was slightly surprised, but she recovered immediately, judging from the aura she emitted, this aura was weak at best, and it was the appearance of three or four layers of qi.
"Hmm!" the woman whispered in her nostrils in response.
"I don't know what I want to buy? The shop doesn't dare to say that it has everything, but it will definitely not disappoint the seniors. Ji Liao asked again.
The woman stared at Ji Liao twice, and said lightly, "I want to buy some elixirs to quickly restore spiritual power and heal injuries, by the way, there are also magic weapons and talismans that fly away, do you have them in this store." ”
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, his heart moved, the corners of his mouth rose, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, but the things you need for cultivation like yours are not available on this floor, so you still have to go upstairs and have a look." ”
"Well, take me to see it. The woman nodded.
"Please!" Ji Liao made a gesture of please, and led the woman to the second floor.
Walking on the stairs, Ji Liao asked with a smile as he walked, "Dare to ask your senior's surname." ”
"Sun!" the woman replied simply.
"Senior Sun, junior is polite here, I don't know if the senior is an elder of the nearby Fire Bird Sect?" Ji Liao arched his hand at the woman surnamed Sun and continued to ask.
The woman surnamed Sun glanced at Ji Liao lightly.
"Oh, senior, don't get me wrong, I'm just an immortal master who admires the Fire Bird Sect, so just ask casually when you're curious. Ji Liao saw the meaning of the woman's expression, and hurriedly said with a smile.
"Hmm!" the woman surnamed Sun said softly when she heard this, not admitting or denying it.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the attic on the second floor, and when they arrived at the staircase, Ji Liao shouted into the attic, "Brother Lu Yan, a senior is here, come and receive it." ”
"Eh, okay!" At this time, Lu Yan's voice came from inside the attic, and after a while, Lu Yan trotted out.
In front of the two of them, Lu Yan smiled, "The juniors have seen the seniors!"
The woman surnamed Sun nodded lightly.
"Please, senior, please tell me inside. ”
The woman surnamed Sun didn't say much, and walked in first.
Ji Liao's eyes moved, and he glanced at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan blinked knowingly, and then followed the woman surnamed Sun.
