Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 487 On the Road
The carriage team walked unhurriedly on the road to Taipingyu.

Compared with last year, the weather this year is much better.The farmland on the side of the road has been harvested, and the expression on the farmer's face is much more relaxed, with a smile on his face.It's just that the vegetation on the side of the road has passed its best time, and now only a piece of withered yellow can be seen.The cold wind made the broken branches tremble, and the grass shattered. Looking out through the car window, there was no view to enjoy.

But Qiuxiang and Shi Qing couldn't help but lift a corner of the curtains of the car, trying to look at Ding Wulang who was riding a horse not far ahead.

The three maids are now crowded in the carriage with Li Lijun.There is nothing to do on the road, just to talk and pass the time.Erhong just came back from Da Ci'en Temple tonight, when he walked into the gate of the Sui Palace, he happened to catch up with the carriage of Li Lijun and his party, so the report could only be made on the carriage.

She went shopping in Yantafang City last night quite smoothly, and bought a few small things that are not very valuable, which can be used as self-defense supplies for the two nuns Cui Lu, Mrs. Shao, and Shi Qing.As for the female alchemist introduced by Master Yuanguang, she also met someone, but unfortunately the other party didn't have many ready-made body refining pills to sell, so they could only provide two samples for her to try.Fortunately, the other party and Erhong were still able to talk, and after being grinded by Erhong for a few words, he finally told him his current address, which was in a few remote and few people's workshops in the south of Chang'an City.If Li Li's lord and servants use her elixir really well, they can go to her residence to find her to refine it at any time, and the conditions are the same as Master Yuanguang said, which is quite cost-effective.

The only danger Erhong encountered last night was that she almost met Mrs. Wang face to face.

Mrs. Wang from the cultivation market happened to be in the closed period, so she didn't expect to come to visit Yantafang City.She mentioned before that she would occasionally come here to buy goods, but Erhong never met her, so she didn't pay attention.Fortunately, when the two almost bumped into each other last night, Lady Wang was negotiating with someone in a certain shop. The vest may not be able to keep.The leading disciple of the Consciousness Sect in Yantafang City knows that she is a senior maid next to the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace...

But Mrs. Wang didn't see Erhong, but Erhong paid attention to her. Afterwards, she also tried to find out some news about her from others, and got some news about the comprehension market by accident.

It is said that the Donghai Alchemist who sold the Foundation Establishment Pill was exposed.Before he left the East China Sea, he got into trouble. He offended a high-ranking foundation-builder monk over there, and pretended to escape to the East China Sea, so he was temporarily out of danger.That high-ranking monk who established the foundation was a true disciple of Jindan, he was fooled by him, suffered a big loss, and was so angry that he chased the ocean three thousand miles away from the coastline. Reluctantly turn around.However, after returning to the East China Sea, the high-ranking foundation-builder found some clues by accident, and followed the traces to the Central Plains, only then did he discover the whereabouts of the East China Sea alchemist.

It is said that this alchemist used some evil means to refine alchemy, but the ingredients of the alchemy were impure, the effect was also compromised, and it was easy to leave future troubles and damage the body of the person who took the alchemy.Even if the person who takes the pill can see the results in a short time after taking the pill, it will not be conducive to the breakthrough of cultivation base after a long time. It is a kind of pill that is eager for quick success and instant benefit.The alchemist of the East China Sea knew that the alchemy he refined had this defect, but he concealed the truth and sold the alchemy at a high price. The journey from the East China Sea to Guanzhong did not lack many people.

When the high-ranking monk who established the foundation exposed the true face of Donghai alchemist in Guanzhong under the banner of the true inheritance of the golden alchemy, various negative rumors about the alchemist also emerged.The auction house in the Xiuzhen Bazaar originally bought the Foundation Establishment Pill he took out at a high price and auctioned it at a high price. Now the buyer heard the rumors and was worried that the Foundation Establishment Pill would affect his success rate of foundation establishment, so he proposed to return the product. payment requirements.Of course the auction house won't do it, they are negotiating with both the buyer and the alchemist at the same time.In any case, the reputation of the auction house has been affected. As the shopkeeper of his family, how could he not get more compensation from the alchemist?
Something happened to the alchemist of the East China Sea, and the foundation building alchemy in the Guanzhong area became even more valuable.Higher-rank alchemists are more sought after than before. It is said that even Taoist Xuanying, who has been in the cultivation market for a long time, is worth [-]% more than before.

Taking this as an example, the female alchemist that Erhong met was willing to accept the order of Body Refining Pill at such a favorable price, which is really extremely rare.

However, Li Lijun had some concerns: "What kind of cultivation is she? What is the quality of the alchemy?"

Master Yuanguang has already mentioned the cultivation level of the female alchemist, which is lower than Li Lijun, but higher than Erhong.Erhong showed the two sample pills to Li Lijun. Li Lijun felt that the quality could only be regarded as medium, with a lot of impurities, so she planned to study the formula.If she can reverse the formula and improve the ratio of various raw materials, she might be able to refine a body refining pill with better effects. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to take it?
Erhong has no objection to this.Anyway, she has only learned a little about alchemy, and she can make ordinary bigu pills, Buling pills and other basic pills like a prescription, and she can't do it for higher-grade pills.In terms of alchemy, she still counted on the little lady.

The master and servant put away the elixir, looked up and saw Qiu Xiang and Shi Qing whispering to each other again, as if they were very interested in observing Ding Wulang.Li Lijun couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you always staring at Ding Wulang for? Could it be that you fell in love with him?"

Shi Qing blushed immediately: "Little lady, what are you talking about?!"

Qiuxiang's attitude was generous and calm: "I didn't like him, but sister Shi Qing couldn't tell. Ding Wulang was the highest rank, the youngest, and the best among the accompanying guards. He didn't even stay in the palace. They didn't go to seek another job, Shi Qing's sister and slave were very surprised, wondering if this person is stupid?!"

Shi Qing retorted: "How could he be so stupid? All the captains and brigade commanders in the royal guards couldn't get along with him, and he was not popular when he went back. Besides, because he led the team to search the west courtyard at the beginning, and found Regarding the secret meeting of Xiao Yang's sister and brother, the heir king did not dislike him. He will not have a good future when he returns to the palace. If he goes to the frontier to fight, he may lose his life at any time. It is better to stay with the little lady. What! An'an is stable and decent, if he does a good job, there will be additional benefits. Our little lady is a living god!"

Shi Qing himself is a mortal, but he eats fairy fruit and drink fairy dew on weekdays. Even if he can't live forever, he still has the benefits of being healthy, free from disease and pain, hearing and eyesight, and full of energy.Therefore, she thinks it is beneficial to live with a cultivator.As a maid in the inner house, she doesn't think there is any good in going to the battlefield to earn military merits, and she firmly believes that Ding Wulang chose the right path.

It's just that the other party took the initiative to stay on the premise that she didn't know anything about the little lady's cultivation of immortality, which is really surprising.

Er Hong has a guess: "Sometimes Lu Siyun acts carelessly and easily shows his tracks in front of people. That time when he met a frightened horse, he didn't care about the people around him, so he restrained the horse with one hand. Several guards were shocked. At that time, Captain Ding was—no, Lvshuai Ding was also there. Since then, he has been paying attention to Lu Siyun's actions all the time. I have complained to my slave!"

Li Lijun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Forget it. If he really found out the truth by his own ability, then tell him the truth, as long as he doesn't spread it to the outside world. It's just that it depends on whether he can practice. How talented he is, this is not something we can say..."
