Chapter 1118 Qi Tian Pill

Of course, Han Qing, who had already returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, naturally did not know what happened in the Imperial Tomb and Yingying Tower.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky was already bright, and he just got out of the robbery hole and saw that he was covered in yellow mud. Han Qing didn't choose to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, lest the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion see the clue , there will inevitably be no trouble at that time, so after leaving the imperial mausoleum, Han Qing turned around and found an inn on the street. After entering the inn, he asked for a bucket of water and washed all the mud on his body before leaving the inn.

After changing into clean clothes, he felt empty in his stomach when he walked out of the inn. Seeing that there were soy milk and fried dough sticks on the street, Han Qing was naturally not picky. He drank a bowl of soy milk and ate two fried dough sticks, just now He went to the prime minister's mansion.

"Mr. Han!" Han Qing had just walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion when he saw the housekeeper waving wildly at him.

Han Qing was taken aback, seeing the butler rushing towards him, he frowned and asked, "Butler, what's the matter?"

The housekeeper seemed to be over half a hundred years old. Hearing this, he took a few breaths and said, "Mr. Han, the ninth princess and the prince of the county are already waiting for you in the living room. I heard that you have an appointment to go to Taibai today. Lou, Miss sent this old slave out to look for Mr. Han, the ninth princess seems to be getting impatient with waiting, Mr. Han, go quickly."

Hearing the steward's words, Han Qing just remembered that he had promised to take Sima Kou to Taibai Building with the nine princesses, but after coming out of the imperial mausoleum, he went to another inn. There were too many things along the way, so Han Qing asked this The matter was negligent. Hearing what the housekeeper said, Han Qing immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see Princess Nine right now."

After saying that, he saw Han Qing walking into Mo's house quickly.

In the living room, the Ninth Princess was pacing back and forth, while Sima Kou, who was sitting on the grand master's chair, was drinking tea unhurriedly, as if he was not impatient because of Han Qing's late arrival.

"Where did you die? Why did you come out now?" Seeing Han Qing walking into the living room, Princess Nine scolded Han Qing.

Seeing that there were outsiders present, Han Qing couldn't help but give Ninth Princess face. After all, she is a majestic princess. If she was taught a lesson in front of everyone, how could the latter step down?Then he took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said, "Princess, forgive me, Cao Min went out for a run just now."

Princess Jiu did not doubt that he was there, and said: "Okay, no matter whether you are going for a run or what, let's go to Taibai Building quickly, the auction will start soon, I heard that Taibai Building has very good things to ask for today." Let's not miss the auction."

Han Qing nodded and said, "Why should the nine princesses be in a hurry? The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. A single greeting can make Taibailou postpone the auction, so why worry?"

Princess Jiu snorted, glared at Han Qing, and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, I won't abuse my power."

Han Qing smiled, didn't take Jiu Gongzhu's words to heart, nodded at Sima Kou, and led the two of them out of the living room of Mo's house.

There was already a carriage prepared by the Mo family outside the door, so Princess Nine would go there in a carriage, and it was impossible for Han Qing and Sima Kou, the two Lu men, to arrange a carriage for them and the princess, but arranged two fine horses for the two. People, Han Qing and Sima Kou are both monks. Although the latter is not as good as Han Qing, riding a horse is not a problem at all, so he straddles the horse and follows the carriage.

There was nothing to say for a while, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not very far from Taibai Tower, the coachman was very familiar with the road conditions in Wangjing City, and soon brought Jiu Gongzhu and others to the outside of Taibai Tower.

Taibai Building does not hold an auction every day. When it will be held is completely determined by the basic auction items. It is said that there will be good things auctioned today, so the Taibai Building has arranged a very large scene. Seven or eight people are placed at the door to receive them. After people came to Taibailou, the servants of Taibailou immediately came up to welcome them, and after leading the carriage and horses down, they brought Jiu Gongzhu and others into the auction site.

"Look at the person below, isn't it Princess Nine?" The three of them had just walked into the auction site, and the people sitting in the boxes on the second floor immediately recognized Princess Nine, and doubts sounded from behind the bead curtain in one of the boxes. the sound of.

"Who else but her? This girl must be here for Qi Tian Pill. Hey, next month will be His Majesty's [-]th birthday. Your Majesty told us to get Qi Tian Pill so that I can present it to the Emperor. It is said that the ninth princess also took a fancy to this elixir, and this time she must have come to grab it from us!" After a moment of silence, another woman's voice sounded in the box.

"Hmph, how could she snatch the Qi Tian Pill from us just because of her financial resources? Not only the empress and her are interested in this pill, but also several aristocratic families in the city, even the leader of the caravan in Dongliu City. Son, don't say that the Ninth Princess can beat us by force, even if it is to win the leader of the caravan, it is enough."

"You're right. For Qi Tian Dan, the Ninth Princess's financial resources are indeed a bit tight. Qi Tian Pill is something that can increase a person's lifespan by half a year. It is a rare treasure no matter for monks or ordinary people. It is absolutely impossible not to bid a sky-high price, how could the Ninth Princess' financial resources afford the Qi Tian Pill?"

"Don't be careless. Although the money of the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce has been held in the hands of several elders, it is inevitable that this girl did not find someone to short part of the money. Even if there is only [-]% of the foundation, it is enough to eat the Qi Tian Pill!"

"Hmph, you're really flattering this girl. With this girl's skills, you can't even maintain the situation of the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for Su Mubai's work in the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce these years, just rely on her, the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce will either It has already changed hands, or it has already fallen apart! With her skills, it is impossible to run an empty Ninety-Five Chamber of Commerce!" The woman with a slightly old-fashioned voice said coldly.

"You're right. This girl really doesn't have the ability to short the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, she wouldn't be under the control of His Majesty these years and be played by His Majesty between applause!"

The two talked for a long time in the private room, until Princess Nine had disappeared from the venue and entered the private room on the second floor, and the two women in the private room still did not stop talking.

"Tell me, if we bring Qi Tian Pill back this time, what will the empress reward us?" said the woman with a gentle voice.

"I don't want anything, I just want to be free." Said the woman with a sophisticated voice.

"Hey, so what if I give you my freedom? I have been following my mother for decades, from a young girl to an old lady. Over the years, I have completely abandoned the basic living ability. After leaving the palace, I I will be free, but I am afraid that even making a living will be difficult.”

"Hmph, you are simply too pessimistic. You know, you and I are monks, what ability can we live in? As long as we can leave the imperial palace and join any sect at will, will you and I still worry about our days without good food and clothing?" said the woman with a vicissitudes of life.

After these words came out, there was no voice from the box for a long time. It seemed that another woman also agreed with this woman's approach.

At this time, Jiu Gongzhu and others are naturally impossible to know what happened in the box. After following Jiu Gongzhu into the auction site, in order not to be recognized by others, Jiu Gongzhu, whose face was covered with a white gauze, moved Take Han Qing and others to the box on the second floor.

The box on the second floor is specially prepared by Taibai Building for VIPs. If you want to participate in the auction in the box, you have to pay a certain fee, one tael of gold per hour. For the nine princesses, this fee is not enough to worry about. After paying three taels of gold, he was taken into a box by the people from Taibailou.

The layout inside the private room is similar to that of the study room. Behind the bead curtain is a square table with a few cards on it. These cards record the things that will be auctioned. In addition to the cards, there are some fruits on the table for people to eat. , and under the square table there is a round jade ball the size of a leather ball. The faint air diffuses from the jade ball, which is the spiritual energy permeating the world. The difference is that the spiritual energy diffused from this jade ball It should be more pure, and it will give people a refreshing feeling after refining.

"Princess Nine, I don't know what you fancy today?" Han Qing went to the side of the square table, opened the card, and glanced casually, but didn't see any rare treasures.

Princess Nine smiled and said: "Of course it's the Qitian Pill. It's the pill refined by Master Dan Fusheng, the seventh-rank alchemy master of the Holy Dynasty. One pill can prolong your life by 30 years. I want to take a photo of it and give it to the emperor. "

"Extend life by 30 years?" Han Qing seemed a little surprised. In the cultivation world, in terms of the types of elixirs, the cheapest elixir is the recovery type of elixir, and the higher-grade elixir can assist cultivation. As for The top-quality elixir advocated by monks is the elixir that can increase lifespan, such as Qi Tian Dan.

For monks, mana is something that can be restored, and the things that assist cultivation are not only pills, but also endless treasures of heaven and earth. What is really valuable is the pill that can increase lifespan. It cannot be recovered, the so-called one inch of time is one inch of gold, if the lifespan is not lost for a second, it means that the monk is one step closer to death, and after the monk's cultivation base has improved, although the lifespan has improved, there is always a limit to the improvement of the cultivation base , I don’t know how many monks will be stuck by the master because of the bottleneck in the realm, and they will never save again. At this time, the power of the life-prolonging elixir is brought into play.

After all, just taking one pill of this kind can increase your lifespan for decades, it is simple and violent, and with these decades of ups and downs, if you break through the bottleneck and improve your cultivation base, Then I don't have to go through the suffering of reincarnation. Therefore, since ancient times, when monks have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, they have searched for elixir that prolongs life.

Although Qi Tiandan can only increase the lifespan of 30 years, it is only half a year's time, but you must know that it is only a few years for Han Qing to cultivate from a novice to the realm of Dao Slashing, and 30 years is enough for him Those monks who are amazingly talented have improved several realms. Under such circumstances, the Qi Tian Pill has naturally become something that countless monks are determined to obtain. After the sale, they also appeared in the Taibai Building one after another. This kind of behavior is naturally with the intention of robbing them as monks.
