Chapter 188 Rushing to the City Lord's Mansion
Chapter 188 Rushing to the City Lord's Mansion
Ling Xiao and Jitu found a resting area on one side, and while tasting the high-quality wine, they listened to Jitu telling his situation.
Sure enough, as Ling Xiao guessed, Jitu's family has a relative with foot problems, and that person is Jitu's only granddaughter, named Ji Beixin.
Ji Beixin is born with weak bone marrow, and has never been able to stand up since birth.
For this reason, Jitu has been trying to find a way for her granddaughter to stand up again. He knows that only the elders of Yaofeng in the sect can refine high-grade elixir for her granddaughter, and perhaps it is possible for her granddaughter to stand up.
However, the rules of Yaofeng are extremely strict. Those who require alchemy must prepare their own spiritual herbs for the elixir, and they must also prepare an extra copy at the same time, and the extra copy will be paid by the elders of Yaofeng; In addition, as long as there are enough profound crystals, you can also ask Elder Yaofeng to refine it; or make enough contributions to the sect, and accumulate enough points, you can also apply to the sect for Elder Yaofeng to refine the elixir.
Jitu has joined the Purple Sky Sect for decades, and basically all the conditions he needs can be met by Elder Yaofeng. However, when he applied to the sect for Elder Yaofeng to refine the elixir, Yaofeng lacked the main medicinal material yellow. The marrow is the main one, and he didn't help him make medicine.
Yellow Marrow Grass is only a mid-level third-level spiritual herb, not a rare spiritual herb, and it is impossible to have it without Yaofeng's accumulation over the years.
In fact, Jitu knew that it was Yaofeng's excuse, or Liu Dong's making things difficult was more appropriate.
Because twenty years ago, when Ji Tu had just become the lord of Zitian City, he had taught Liu Dong, who is now the inner sect disciple of Yaofeng, a lesson.
Jitu didn't expect that Liu Dong had always held a grudge.
This time, he applied to the sect to let Elder Yaofeng refine the third-grade elixir, Shenggudan, and he could only refine it for him after being notified by Liu Dong.
Unexpectedly, when Jitu waited for him, the result was that he lacked the yellow marrow grass and could not refine raw bone pills for him.
Looking at Liu Dong's attitude, Ji Tu knew that Liu Dong hadn't informed the elders of Lianfeng at all.
In anger, Jitu beat Liu Dong up.
It's all good now, Liu Dong complained to his master, Ru Chang. At that time, Liu Dong was still favored by Yaofeng, so Jitu was out of luck. Yaofeng announced that he would not refine any elixir for Jitu.
Although Ru Chang could not fully represent Yaofeng, his words carried some weight in Yaofeng.
This incident also led to Jitu not being able to enter the sect to become the deacon of the inner sect, but to be the city lord of Zitian City all the time.
On the surface, the city lord seems to have a great reputation, but his status in the sect is not high, and Jitu just knows himself.
Of course, in the northwest of Ruoda, not only Zitianzong has a third-rank pharmacist, but there is also a third-rank pharmacist in the nearby Burning City, but this pharmacist has a huge appetite and wants five hundred low-rank profound crystals. The spirit grass must be prepared by oneself, and it is specifically stated that there is no guarantee for refining the third-grade elixir, because he is not sure of 100% success, and he will not be responsible if a furnace of spirit grass is broken.
These conditions almost made Jitu lose his temper, and the requirements were really harsh. But for the sake of his granddaughter, he had to try his best to prepare all the materials he needed before thinking of a way.
Unexpectedly, today he could meet Ling Xiao in this Lingcao Hall, and Ling Xiao is also the direct disciple of the master of Yaofeng Peak. After hearing the news, Jitu almost jumped up for joy.
He knew that as long as he could curry favor with this young man, his granddaughter's feet might be saved.
Ling Xiao expressed deep sympathy for what happened to Jitu, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that he had encountered such a good thing. Now it is not a problem to refine the tendon-generating bone pill for Li Kuanghu, and it can save a lot of money What about wealth?
"Tu Lao, Liu Dong is wrong about your matter, but he is not the only one who has the final say on our medicine peak. If Tu Lao can trust me, take me to see Ling's granddaughter first, and then I can tell me about the incident. Master, I believe that my master is a sensible elder. You have made so many contributions to the sect. It will definitely be refined for me, so the matter of Tu Lao should not be a problem," Ling Xiao said very sincerely.
"Thank you for that, Xiao Xiao. If it works, Mr. Tu will repay you." Ji Tu immediately cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Tu Lao, you are being polite, but the ugly words must be said first. It is okay to ask the master to take action, but you still have to prepare this spirit grass. After all, I don't know if my master has the spirit grass that produces bone pills. , if there is no one, it will not be easy to handle," Ling Xiao first declared.
Let me explain, Shenggu Pill and Xujin Shenggu Pill are both third-grade pills, but Xujin Shenggu Pill is an upgraded version of Shenggu Pill, the effect is naturally more effective and the value is greater.
However, most people only know about the existence of Shenggu Pill, and Xujin Shenggu Pill is recorded in "Alchemy Jue", which is a kind of elixir created by Yaozong.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Ling Xiao guessed that what Jitu needed was the Bone Bone Pill, not the Bone Bone Renewal Pill.
"Naturally, the old man has collected a portion of the spirit grass for refining bone pills in the past few years. Now, as long as he can get the yellow marrow grass here again, it is not a problem to make up two copies of the bone pill spirit grass." Ji Tu nodded in response.
He naturally knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and if he wants something from others, of course he has to show his sincerity.
It's just that he doesn't know Ling Xiao well, he doesn't know if Ling Xiao is another Liu Dong, if he covets his spirit grass and fails to refine the elixir for him, he will be taken advantage of.
However, right now there is no other way but to take a gamble.
If he really misjudged the person, then he can only blame his granddaughter for his bad life.
Ling Xiao could naturally sense Jitu's doubts, and immediately asked to see Jitu's granddaughter to see the actual situation, so as to solve Jitu's doubts.
When leaving, Jitu went to buy the yellow marrow grass.
Ling Xiao didn't stop it, after all, in his eyes, the yellow marrow grass had undoubtedly fallen into his hands.
When Ji Tu and Ling Xiao went downstairs together, Li Kuanghu and Xia Xuanxuan greeted them.
Looking at the limping Li Kuanghu, Jitu frowned and his expression became gloomy.
Ling Xiao naturally caught a glimpse of Jitu's expression, and ignored it, letting Li Kuanghu take Xia Xuanxuan back to the courtyard first.
When Li Kuanghu and Xia Xuanxuan had just left, Jitu asked coldly, "What do you mean?".
"Tu Lao, don't worry, I'll explain to you as we walk," Ling Xiao said very calmly.
Jitu glanced at him, immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked towards his home with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao explained to Jitu unhurriedly, "Kanghu is the servant I just accepted. He participated in the outer sect disciple election last time, and his leg was broken. I think he is a good person, so I plan to let him My master helped refine raw bone pills for him to take. To tell you the truth, I came to Lingcao Hall today because of the yellow marrow grass in your hand. Mr. Tu, I am not trying to hide anything from you. A furnace of third-grade pills can be refined There are two raw bone pills, I just want one, and you want one, isn't that the best of both worlds? Of course, if Tu Lao thinks I'm lying to you, I'll leave now, and you'll pretend you haven't seen me today." .
After all, Ling Xiaoyu turned and left without any affectation.
After hearing Ling Xiao's explanation, Ji Tu immediately felt relieved, but when he saw Ling Xiao was about to leave, he became anxious, stepped forward to block Ling Xiao's way, and said, "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, yes... yes Lao Ji, I was wrong, I... I don’t know good people, don’t take it to heart, go back to me now to get the spiritual grass of the bone pill, as long as I have one of the refined medicine, it will be fine.” .
It cannot be wrong that Ling Xiao is a disciple of Yaofeng sect. The token may not be faked. It just so happened that Ling Xiao appeared in the Lingcao hall again. This must be the privilege given by the master of Yaofeng. As a disciple, he is not qualified to go to the third floor, but that is a VIP card that requires five profound crystals, and ordinary people really don't have that kind of capital.
It should be a coincidence that Ling Xiao met him Jitu, and not many people knew about his granddaughter who was born with a disability. He didn't think that Ling Xiao, who had just become an inner disciple, would know.
Besides, if Ling Xiao really wanted to lie to his spirit grass, he shouldn't have let Li Kuanghu appear in front of him. After hearing Ling Xiao's explanation, I believe that Ling Xiao would not be lying to him.
On the surface, they seem to have taken advantage of one of his elixir, but just one elixir can heal his granddaughter's leg, and it's useless to take more, so it doesn't matter if you give Ling Xiao an extra one, as long as he If the granddaughter can stand up, then it's all worth it.
Of course Ling Xiao didn't really want to leave, he just wanted to prove that he didn't want to lie to Jitu.
The two soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The scale of the building here is relatively grand and majestic in the city, but it only looks good in the eyes of ordinary people. A place is a really good place.
Ling Xiao followed Jitu all the way into the mansion, all the way to pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockery and flowers... the environment is beautiful and extraordinary.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but praised "Tulao is really elegant".
Ji Tu knew what Ling Xiao said, and immediately responded, "This is all for my granddaughter. She suffered from autism since she was a child and refused to contact the outside world. I can only make this place more beautiful and let her cultivate her mood." ".
Ling Xiao nodded to express his understanding.
When they came to a pavilion, there were bursts of zither sounds.
Ji Tu waved his hand to signal Ling Xiao to stop, and the two listened to the Guzheng song quietly.
There is a hint of sadness in the sound of this zither, and the melody seems to be able to touch people's hearts, as if from this melody, you can see a beautiful girl living in a very lonely world. She yearns for freedom and happiness, but But she doesn't know how to do it, she can only admire herself in the lonely world, but no one can feel her pain and sorrow.
The end of the song!
Ling Xiao burst into tears unconsciously. He never thought that anyone would be able to play such a touching melody. He was originally a person with a strong personality, even if he suffered multiple injuries, he would not necessarily cry in pain, but now tears are flowing unconsciously , he can definitely feel the loneliness and loneliness of the other party.
Comparing your heart to your heart, if you are that lonely person, can you live strong? Perhaps, he would rather die than live like that.
"Let's go there, she is my granddaughter" Jitu said to Ling Xiao, wiping away his old mother's tears.
