The middle-aged man's eyes turned red as he listened. He asked, "If you don't like those bugs, why not just throw them away? Why burn them?"
"Because I'm afraid they'll fly back to find me..." Lan Zhi looked frustrated, "I'm such a spendthrift!"
"Yeah, it's such a waste..." The middle-aged man covered his chest with a painful expression and muttered, "What you burned wasn't the Flying Fish Gu, but a lot of spirit stones..."
Then, he asked hopefully, "Didn't you say there was a book in the secret room? Does that book contain the method for cultivating the Flying Fish Gu?"
Lan Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, they like to eat fish. As long as we give them enough fish, they will slowly breed the next generation of flying fish Gu..."
That's impossible.
Flying Fish Gu also has requirements for light and ventilation. The most important step is to be nurtured by the Orchid God Flower, but there is no need to go into details.
The middle-aged man asked, "Are there any requirements for the type of fish? Is any fish okay?"
"There shouldn't be any requirements. It's not mentioned in the book, and I don't know much about fish species..." Lan Zhi scratched her head and said, "Although I've sold you the flying fish Gu, if I can cultivate other Gu insects according to the book in the future, I will definitely come to you."
"Okay." The middle-aged man agreed, and then thought, he had refined those two pills and was going to sell them, so it was impossible for him to stay in the Dari Kingdom forever.
Now he finally understood why many alchemists liked to travel around, because some weak countries might have some rare medicinal materials and local specialties that could bring unexpected surprises to alchemy.
"I will be leaving the country of Da Rui soon. Will you sell your book?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Not for sale." Lan Zhi shook her head.
"Okay." The middle-aged man expected this answer. He was not good at raising poisonous insects, so getting the book might be of no use to him.
He thought for a moment and said, "After I leave, I don't know when I will be back. It may be three months, or maybe half a year. You can cultivate new Gu worms and keep them first. Then come back here to find me in three months. If I'm not here, then you can wait a little longer..."
"Don't hold too high hopes for me. I might not be able to cultivate new Gu worms, and then I won't come to you again."
"Okay, let's just go with the flow." The middle-aged man nodded, took Lan Zhi to the second floor, handed the Ruyi Ding to her, and even escorted Lan Zhi out the door. He was so enthusiastic that Lan Zhi felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side: "Master Situ."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around with a surprised expression, "Fourth Prince?"
"Yes, I'm here to buy some medicinal pills." The fourth prince, Jun Qingguo, has a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, and a stern expression. He naturally has an aura of "keep away from strangers".
His talent for cultivation was the best among all the princes, and he would refine pills in his spare time, so he often came to Yongsheng Miaoshou under the pretext of buying pills.
Master Situ was a very nice person. Every time the Fourth Prince came to buy elixirs, he would refine them on the spot and allow the Fourth Prince to watch the whole process. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.
It was the first time Jun Qingguo saw Master Situ escorting a guest out the door. He couldn't help but glance at Lan Zhi twice, then he realized...
"Why... do you look so much like my brother?"
Jun Qingguo was stunned, a little bit unbelievable. Could it be that the "young man" in front of him was a common prince who was wandering outside?
Lan Zhi reached out and touched her face. She had sculpted her face based on Jun Weihe's, and even adjusted her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips. They looked only 50% similar, which was not a problem at first, but... who would have thought that she would happen to meet a prince?
I should have just made an ordinary face.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence that they look alike..." Lan Zhi said.
Jun Qingguo raised an eyebrow. If he had met Lan Zhi on the street, he would have probably just glanced at her and passed by, not talking to her based on her appearance. But this was the Eternal Life Wonderful Hand Shop. Ordinary people couldn't afford the things here, and he knew all the young powerful and wealthy children. So...
Who is this "young master"?
Why would Master Situ personally send "him" out?
Jun Qingguo asked, "What's your name?"
Lan Zhi: “…”
This is really embarrassing for someone who is not good at naming.
She thought for a moment and replied, "My name is simply 'Ge', which means 'song'."
Haha, this way whoever calls her is "brother".
Jun Qingguo frowned and thought, "Song?"
Lan Zhi: "Yes, I'm here."
Jun Qingguo: "..."
Suddenly I felt like I was being taken advantage of.
Master Situ couldn't help but laugh out loud, then he coughed lightly to hide his laughter. He said, "Fourth Prince, please come in. Don't stand outside and talk."
Lan Zhi raised her foot and wanted to escape, but Jun Qingguo saw this and stood in front of her.
Lan Zhi looked helpless: "Your Highness, may I ask for your instructions?"
"I didn't give you any instructions. I just saw the alchemy furnace in your hand and thought you were also an alchemist. I wanted to exchange my experience in alchemy with you." Jun Qingguo lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the Ruyi Ding in her hand. This was the smallest alchemy furnace on the second floor of Yongsheng Miaoshou. Jun Qingguo once asked about the price, 50,000 Tianling Stones, which even he couldn't afford. Who was this "Ge"?
Could it be that "Ge" is a noble boy from a foreign country?
No, it's impossible. If she really is that kind of foreign teenager who can come up with 50,000 Heavenly Spirit Stones, she should be very proud. She must have a sense of superiority in her bones and it is impossible for her to be as easy to talk to as she is now.
Moreover, this "Ge" really looks a bit like the Nineteenth Brother and the Thirteenth Brother...
Lan Zhi probably never dreamed that after fine-tuning her facial features, she would unexpectedly resemble the Thirteenth Prince...
"Your Highness, I'm just an apprentice. I've never made any pills before, so there's nothing much to share." Lan Zhi walked around Jun Qingguo and continued forward.
Jun Qingguo reached out to grab her arm, but missed.
Jun Qingguo was surprised and used his spiritual power to grab Lan Zhi again, but Lan Zhi still dodged him.
Lan Zhi's face was grim. She said, "Fourth Prince, I am just passing through your country. What are you planning to do?"
"Are you also in the Qingyuan realm?" Jun Qingguo frowned, and couldn't help but wonder if he had made a wrong judgment. Judging from the meaning of "Ge", she didn't seem to be from Dayui?
Besides, even if Ge is a citizen of his own country, he should not bully others by taking advantage of his power.
Jun Qingguo clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was rude."
"It's okay." Lan Zhi left calmly.
But after walking a certain distance, I had a vague feeling that I was being followed.
Lan Zhi wandered around the capital aimlessly for a while, walked into a small alley, and cast an invisibility spell.
Not long after, Jun Qingguo appeared nearby with a sullen look on his face, angrily saying, "This prince personally followed someone... and actually lost him?!"
Little did he know that Lan Zhi was standing right next to him, but he couldn't see her.
