Tao and Heaven

Chapter 35: Top Grade Dragon Tiger Pill

The heavy rain is still falling.

The two men walked into the room. Hu Sanyuan had already untied the restraints on his ankles. Gu Wen pulled out a dagger, tore off a piece of curtain cloth to wrap around his hands to prevent the blood from spurting out, and pushed the knife to the other party's neck amidst the other party's whimpering in fear. Soon there was no sound.

Human life is so fragile.

Gu Wen wiped a knife with a cloth and then threw it away. He Huan, who was standing beside him, remained calm. He was not an ordinary person and he was just killing someone.

He was just wondering: Don't you want to leave it to people to ask me if I've hidden anything?
The answer is no.

The money that Hu Sanyuan used to buy the elixir came from the palace, and most of the money from the palace came from the water room. As the actual controller of the water room, Gu Wen could infer how much was there through the bills.

All commodities have an equivalent value. He buys the Dragon and Tiger Pill in the same amount as Hu Sanyuan.

Even if the elixir is different, it is better than nothing. He has no natural marrow at all now!
Gu Wen opened the wooden box on the table, and inside, there were pills lying quietly, ten in total.

Recently, Hu Sanyuan has taken 120,000 taels from the palace, and the water room has given 30,000 taels. These money are spent one after another, about 10,000 taels a day, and these pills are about this price. Gu Wen didn't want to eat them all, but he had to consider the success rate, whether the other party went directly to the palace to buy the pills, and how many people escorted them.

Today may not be the most valuable, but it must have the highest success rate, so I ran into a colleague.

Worth 10,000 taels, wouldn't that pill be worth 10 Dragon Tiger Pills? But why does it smell so much like Dragon Tiger Pills?

"Daoyou has made a great harvest today, congratulations." He Huan shamelessly flattered, it wasn't his stuff anyway, "These pills are top-grade Dragon Tiger Pills, a furnace of more than ten pills only yields one. Although the efficacy is the same, the advantage is that there is no pill poison, and the damage to the meridians is less."

Same efficacy?
Gu Wen suddenly felt something was wrong. He picked up one and ate it. In an instant, his fate was shaken and his Tiansui increased by about one-fifth.

The Dragon and Tiger Pills I had taken before were one tenth of a pill, which means that these top-grade pills have twice the medicinal properties, and ten pills are only two years of Heavenly Marrow. I bought these with ten thousand taels, and I could buy him hundreds of Dragon and Tiger Pills, which would be ten years of Heavenly Marrow!
He said calmly: "Pills are hard to come by, so I think it's better to have more. Pill poison can be eliminated by relying on skills and concentration, but pills can't appear out of thin air."

"What Daoyou said makes some sense outside. After all, everyone has a True Lord as a background when they first start practicing, but these are places for becoming immortals." He Huan shook his head in denial, and said slowly, "Linchuan medicinal fruit is a ten-year spiritual medicine in the outside world. Although it is not precious, it is not as valuable as cabbage here."

"Since we have finally entered this world's most precious place, where all kinds of spiritual objects are like weeds and thousands of spiritual treasures are available for picking, we naturally have to choose the best."

So only low-grade Dragon and Tiger Pills can be sold as aphrodisiacs?
One of Gu Wen's doubts was resolved. Whether it was medicinal fruit or Dragon-Tiger Pill, those that could be bought with silver were all inferior products that were looked down upon by those who entered the world.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want this top-grade Dragon-Tiger Pill?"

He Huan was stunned for a moment, but he was also a smart man, so he smiled and said, "What do you want, fellow Daoist? Spiritual medicine, elixir, or silver and gold?"

Gu Wen shook his head and said deliberately: "I don't care about yellow and white things, just give me elixirs and pills."

"Outside, there are gold and silver, but in Daqian, it's the annual payment, and we can't bring in a lot of gold. The boundary-breaking array requires spirit stones for even a hair. How can we ask mortals to work for others without money? We can't do it ourselves, it will take a long time to find it."

He Huan was inadvertently tricked into talking about something again. It wasn't that he was stupid, but in his opinion it was all just idle chat. There was no need to be wary of things that everyone knew.

New Year's money, breaking the magic circle.

Because there are countless special elixirs in Daqian, people who come to the world look down on inferior products, so the elixirs have been leaked to mortals.

Since gold and silver could not be brought in, they had to abide by a certain social order, so they exchanged precious metals for elixirs.

When the extraordinary was suppressed to the extreme, these gods had to obey the objective reality in Gu Wen's cognition.

Even if the Zhao family has a true master, he will die.

Everything works!

Gu Wen suddenly felt enlightened and said, "I want pills. How many lower-grade dragon-tiger pills do you think these ten upper-grade dragon-tiger pills are worth?"

He only wanted the medicinal properties of it, which was also the heavenly marrow of destiny transformation, and there was no erysipelas. Instead of eating it himself, he might as well take it out for exchange. His psychological expectation was to exchange one for five, after all, it was second-hand goods.

He Huan pondered and said, "How about twenty?"

Hiss! One for twenty?
Gu Wen couldn't help but gasp. The price had increased twenty times. Two hundred Dragon Tiger Pills!
Ten Dragon-Tiger Pills equal one year of Heavenly Marrow, and two hundred equal twenty years of Heavenly Marrow.

Even a man as strong as Gu Wenzhi couldn't hold it anymore at this moment. When he was at his most powerful, he only had ten years of Heavenly Marrow. With twenty years of Heavenly Marrow, he could take his skills to a higher level.

Seeing that Gu Wen was silent, He Huan thought that his offer was too low, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Top-grade Dragon-Tiger Pills are hard to come by, so it's normal for you to want a higher premium. How about twenty-five Dragon-Tiger Pills?"

It increased twenty-five times, twenty-five years of Tiansui.

Gu Wen suddenly felt like he was trading stocks in his previous life. The money increased more than ten times in one second. The calmer he became, the more alert he became. The top-grade Dragon and Tiger Pill was so precious in their eyes, but they let it go so easily without any resentment and talked to me.

This person has an unusual personality. Either he is really free and easy, or he is extremely cunning.

He nodded and said, "Yes."

"I wonder if fellow Daoist Hongchen is in a hurry to use it?"

"What's the difference?"

"Well, I am short of money. I can't afford so much right now." He Huan scratched his head and said, "If it's urgent, I can exchange it with a magic weapon."

Gu Wen's eyes lit up and he asked, "Your silver spear?"

"Of course not." He Huan covered his wrist and said with a vigilant look: "I have an old relationship with the second military strategist, Qianlong Villa. I can ask you to make a handy weapon for you. I see that you don't have any weapon in your hand."

"Can it be changed like your book?"

"nature."

"When the time comes, we will pay for the goods."

Compared to Tiansui, he needs a weapon more now.

The two agreed to meet one month later at midnight, under the Dragon Bridge.

Nine dragon-tiger pills in exchange for a magic weapon.

Then the two returned to the original topic, Ning Dao Dan.

"If you want, I can cooperate with you. I will wait until the elixir of the Zhao family's nine sons is refined and then go to grab it. Usually, two or three pills of this kind of medicine are refined. I only want one."

He Huan made a very tempting proposal, but Gu Wen didn't know where the elixir was, nor how to get it.

He could accept cooperation, but he still wanted to get something out of it, so he asked, "If we can't get it today, the Zhao family will be alert in the future, so how can they defeat hundreds of thousands of imperial guards?"

Although Gu Wen has superhuman powers, he does not think that he is currently capable of taking on an army.

"It's not the Zhao family, it's the nine sons of the Zhao family." He Huan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't know, Zhao Feng was carrying the token of the Taoist goddess, which should have been a great opportunity. But I don't know why, the Taoist goddess and the Emperor of Dao got into a fight a few days ago."

Fighting?

Gu Wen's mind moved. He didn't expect that the Zhao family and Yu Hua would actually fight. Aren't they in a cooperative relationship?

But on second thought, the other party also has a certain attitude towards his investment.

"Fellow Daoist, who do you think won?" He Huan asked.

Gu Wen answered without hesitation: "The result is unknown, but everything is calm. It is likely that the Taoist goddess has the upper hand."

"I see the same thing. He is truly the top of the Destiny Ranking. He has only been in the mortal world for a few months and he is already beating the Dao Emperor." He Huan exclaimed, and then changed the subject and said, "The Dao Condensation Pill will damage his foundation if he does not have a Dao foundation. The Dao Emperor does not allow him to take it. If he allowed it, he would not have to go to Qianfeng Tower. The pills his father made are definitely better than those."

"What does he want?"

Gu Wen asked in confusion, and He Huan chuckled, "I don't know, but he was probably frightened by that Taoist goddess. He hasn't even built his Dao yet, so who knows, he might be kicked out one day."

"But what does this have to do with us? What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

"You can give it a try."

The murderous look on Gu Wen's face hidden behind the mask was hard to conceal. Even if he didn't want anything else, he had to disgust Zhao Feng.

What's more, he tasted the sweetness today. The wealth he had accumulated over several years was not as good as the wealth he made today.

As the saying goes, a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass. How could he miss this great opportunity?
