Perfume Alchemist

The petals of the blooming spirit flower are softer than the cherry blossoms, but the heart of the flower is more holy than the lotus flower.A strange spiritual light flickered between the flower center pillars.

The moment the Blossoming Spirit Flower opened, a strong and clear fragrance immediately filled the tip of Ah Hao's nose.

The aroma floating from the air is first a green taste of buds mixed with fresh fruits, followed by a low-key floral fragrance, which is more gorgeous than peony flowers and clearer than hyacinths.

This unique smell can only be smelled by watching the flowers bloom.Once Ah Hao smells it, he will never forget it.

While the formation was in motion, Ah Hao was lifted into the air by the earth and rocks, and gently picked off the blooming spirit flower.

The Blossoming Spirit Flower is a strange thing in Nia, it just blooms in an borrowed place, and there is no actual connection point between the flower and the branch.It's more like it's "wrapped around" a branch.

Ahao handed the blooming spirit flower to Ilya.Illya looked at the flower in her hand curiously: "This is the Blossoming Spirit Flower? It's quite fragrant."

"It's really fragrant." Ah Hao looked at the Blossoming Spirit Flower intently, "Maybe I can also buy some Blossoming Spirit Flower and extract some essence."

The flower heart of the blooming spirit flower is really beautiful.

Ah Hao's eyes suddenly became blurred.He sniffed, feeling that the swaying blue flower heart was so attractive.

The whisper-like smell came to the tip of his nose, making him forget what he wanted to say.

".Ahao?"

"Ah, it's okay." Illya's voice immediately woke up Ahao.

He knocked on his head, took out the Aosu bottle, and pulled out the ether energy stored in it: "It may be that I have consumed too much energy in a short period of time, and I seemed to be in a trance just now."

Ilya looked at him with some concern: "Are you okay? Why don't you stop and take a rest?"

"No need." Ahao shook his head, after replenishing his energy, he continued to use the refining formation to pave the way.

I don't know if it's because of the blooming spirit flowers, but the passers-by they encountered on the next road obviously increased.

Everyone looked at Ahao and the brand-new road behind him in amazement, and was shocked to lose the ability to speak for a while.Every time Ah Hao comes to this time, he will stop his "work" for a short time and let passers-by go first.

Occasionally some bold passers-by will take the initiative to chat with Ah Hao when they meet.Most of the time, Ah Hao passed by casually haha.

He paved the road just to make it easier for grandma to go to and from Lukang.

As for the convenience of the villagers, the promotion of traffic and so on, it's just a bonus, he doesn't care much.

From early morning to noon, and then to dusk when the sun was slightly slanting, Ahao finally paved the road to Lukang before dark.

Even Ah Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he connected the rammed dirt road with the gravel avenue in front of him with the formation formation.

He activated the Formation Formation almost continuously for a whole day.As a result, he has become resistant to the [Energy Recovery Potion] now.The last bottle he just drank had less than a quarter of the recovery effect of the first bottle.

If the road was longer, he could only rest for one night.

Ah Hao looked back and found that Ilya was already in the driver's seat, lightly asleep.

He waved his hand in front of her: "Wake up, we are here."

"Hey, are you here?"

Ilya woke up and turned around, looking at the distant town.

Lukang is a rare high-quality harbor in Nigeria.Most of the few exchanges between Nia and the outside world are carried out here.So Lukang could almost be called Nia's 'Little Agadhi'.

Looking down from the half-hillside where they were, one could see quite a few roads converging towards this small coastal town from all directions.

In addition to the various ships floating on the sea, the most distinctive feature of this town is the tall tree in its center.

It stands upright in the center of the whole town, with goose yellow ribbons wrapped around its branches.These streamers are connected with the buildings in the town, forming a semi-natural tent market.

Ahao smiled and explained to Ilya: "It is said that Lugang is named Lugang because the branches of this big tree are shaped like antlers. This antler tree still has a very special place in the hearts of Lugang people. of."

"Hey, I thought there would be a lot of deer in Lukang."

"There used to be a herd of deer. But now there are so many people here, they have already gone to other places."

About to arrive in a big town with a lot of people, Ah Hao first made some camouflage for the mud cow pulling the cart.Make it look more normal at first by sculpting a horse's head on the back, then call grandma out of the tent behind her.

Grandma stooped and stepped on the gravel outside the car, and waved her hand impatiently: "Hey, Lugang is still the same. I'm tired of looking at it. It doesn't look as good as the one in Little Ilya's tent." .”

"I'm halfway cooking in it, so I'm going back first. You'll be ready to eat in a while."

She took a breath of fresh air from the outside world, and then got back into the tent again.Leave Ilya and Ahao outside.

Ilya gently held her chin: "Grandma seems to like this tent very much, why not?"

"Don't!" Ahao could probably guess what Yi Liya wanted to say next, "You should put this tent away yourself. I will buy a smaller one for her later."

Ilya curled her lips: "I haven't said anything yet, I'm being sentimental."

"Hey. It's fine if your tent is a little cheaper. Six-figure points are enough for a dowry."

"Bah" Ilya spat with a red face.

Amidst the grunting sound of the wheels, the two stepped onto the avenue of Lukang.

After a while, the three walked into a house on a tree.

After the little brother in front opened the door, he said enthusiastically: "This is the most distinctive tree house in Lukang. This tree house is very close to the tree house of the antler tree. You can walk directly through the vine bridge and go to the antler tree later. The market is very convenient for shopping. Please take a look.”

Ah Hao carefully observed his surroundings.

This tree house is built in a slightly larger willow tree as a whole.Its tree core is made into a spiral staircase, connecting the entire three-story house in series.The whole house retains the structure of a large number of trees, which looks very natural and interesting, but not too humid.

Because a large amount of milky white translucent materials fill the space between the vines, while retaining the lighting, it also has a certain effect of moisture-proof and heat-insulation.

However, Ahao still looked at grandma with some worries: "Are you sure you want this tree house? Will it be inconvenient for you to go up and down?"

The little brother who opened the door quickly waved his hand and said, "No, we are equipped with mechanical hanging basket structures imported from overseas on each floor, which are very stable up and down."

Ilya walked quickly to the balcony and observed the hidden mechanical structure: "Really, this looks like Agadi."

"This lady is really discerning. It is indeed a machine imported from Agadi." The younger brother's eyes lit up, and he quickly took advantage of the opportunity to flatter him.

Grandma Ahao touched here and looked there, obviously she was a little moved: "This room needs a lot of money, right?"

"Well, in terms of price, it's really not cheap. After all, this is one of the best houses in Lukang. But what?" The younger brother's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately switched to a professional attitude, and he continued to introduce Played the advantages of this house.

Ah Hao nodded: "That's it, we want this house. The price is not a problem."

Before returning, he asked Butler Hodge to convert a large amount of Canadian dollars into Nigerian coins.After arriving in Lukang, he went to the largest bank to exchange some tickets, so he really didn't care about money.

Lukang's housing prices are simply incomparable with Agadi's.Even this exquisitely designed tree house costs less than a third of the townhouses in Uptown Agadí.

The salesman's face immediately showed a brighter smile than that of the blooming spirit flower: "Then I will help you to complete the formalities today. I heard that the blooming spirit flower is in bloom today, and in a few days when the spirit flower festival is about to start , we are going to rest now."

"Thank you for your hard work. We want to stay here at night, okay?"

"Yes, yes. I will definitely work overtime to help you get it done!" The smile on the little brother's face lasted for a long time.Ah Hao estimated that the commission he got would never be less.

"By the way, the owner of the house fills in my grandma's name. This is a house bought for her."

There was a momentary surprise on the little brother's face, but soon he adjusted his expression and made an OK gesture.

He hurriedly got down from the mechanical hanging basket outside the balcony, preparing to bring back the materials and help Ah Hao settle the house purchase in one go.

Grandma sat on the desk on the second floor of the tree house, touched the table, with a sad expression: "I used to like tree houses very much."

"When we got married, your grandfather said that when he gets rich, he will give me a tree house in Lukang sooner or later."

"It's a pity that I didn't wait until that day. He will have tuberculosis and belch."

"I didn't expect my little Ahao to help me realize this wish." Grandma looked at Ahao in front of her with eyes full of satisfaction, "I didn't live so long in vain."

"What are you talking about?" Ah Hao sat beside grandma, "Your days of happiness are yet to come."

Ilya also sat across from the two of them, "Ahao is amazing, he should be the most profitable person in Agadhi this year."

"Yo, it's so powerful." Grandma put away her sadness, and gave Ahao a look of surprise, "I said why you didn't even blink when you said you were buying a house."

"Haha, Miao Zan, Miao Zan."

With the blessing of money, the house purchase process progressed faster than expected.The key was handed over to Ahao that night.The entire tree house has three floors, with a total of seven or eight rooms, which is enough for three people to live in.

After dinner, grandma is going to have an early rest.Ahao and Ilya, who were used to Agadi's time, certainly didn't plan to go to bed so early.After saying hello, he slipped to the street below.

When the Lukang lanterns first come on, the streets and alleys are already quite lively.

"The Spiritual Flower Festival is the most important festival in Nia. The first wave of blooming spiritual flowers has begun today, and starting tomorrow, the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to ancestors will begin one after another." Ahao held Ilya's hand, While explaining, he walked towards the antler market.

In the stall market under the staghorn tree, there are everything for sale.But the most crowded place was the stall selling Blossoming Spirit Flowers.

Yi Liya looked at Ahao curiously: "They are selling blooming spirit flowers over there, don't you want to buy some perfume?"

"I want to buy it, but I can't buy it today."

Ahao explained: "The people who buy flowers today are basically relatives who passed away this year. According to our custom, the day after the blooming flowers bloom is the day when the first spirit blooming ceremony is held for these newly deceased.

"So the price of the Blossoming Spirit Flower in these two days will be very outrageous. Those unlucky people who didn't find the Blooming Spirit Flower will have to buy flowers anyway."

"I won't compete with them. We'll just wait for the official Spirit Flower Festival seven days later to buy it."

"Ah." Ilya's eyebrows were clustered together, "Then if you can't find the Blossoming Spirit Flower, and you can't afford the Blossoming Spirit Flower for these two days, then what should you do?"

"What else can I do, wait a few days before doing it, or don't do it at all." Ah Hao shrugged, "The so-called customs don't exist in the eyes of the poor. Really poor people, even if they find flowers The spirit flower will also be sold to other people."

"Then you can't talk to your dead relatives?"

"If you can't, then you can't. After all, the dead are less important than the living."

Ilya was a little speechless, but didn't know what to say: "Ah, this is really... quite flexible."

"Welcome to Nia." Ahao smiled and waved his hands, "We Nia people only believe in useful gods and respect useful customs."

"If it weren't for the second day after the birth of the spirit, the effect of communicating with the relatives who have just died is indeed the best. Even the custom of the first birth ceremony will disappear soon."

In the next few days, Ahao accompanied Ilya to explore Xialugang well, allowing her to experience the excitement before the Spirit Flower Festival.

And he also took time to meet with his grandma and grandpa and gave them some gifts.He was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and his relationship with his grandmother is naturally the closest, and his relationship with his grandparents will be a little weaker.

What's more, grandma is alone, and grandpa and grandma are taken care of by uncle.

After sharing the joy and wealth with several relatives, the time soon came to the day of the Spirit Flower Festival.

Ah Hao's uncle, Qiao Jie, is helping him with his clothes in his own room.

Qiao Jie looked proudly at the well-dressed Ahao in front of him: "Not bad, the boy is getting more handsome the longer he grows."

"The clothes are nice, but a little too complicated." Ahao touched the corset around his waist a little uncomfortable.

He was wearing the traditional costume of the Spirit Flower Festival, covering himself tightly with three layers inside and outside.The outermost white cloak is also embroidered with intricate embroidery of blue and purple.

"Just wear it for one day, just bear with it."

Uncle took care of his clothes and was ready to go out.

Ahao stopped him at this moment: "By the way, uncle, don't forget what I told you about the perfume two days ago."

Qiao Jie turned around: "Isn't it just in my chamber of commerce, to help you sell some goods? It's a small thing, wrap it on your uncle."

After speaking, he walked out the door.

Ahao could only smile helplessly: "This is not as simple as selling some goods. It makes you the exclusive agent of AH perfume. Forget it, you will understand later."

He tidied up his clothes and stepped out the door, ready to welcome his No.18 Spirit Flower Festival.

This is also the first spirit flower sacrifice he has experienced after mastering extraordinary power.
