Black Heart Lotus is an extremely yin herb with complex and varied medicinal properties. It can be used in many kinds of alchemy recipes and can be called a multi-purpose elixir.

It can detoxify, poison, calm the nerves, and strengthen the body. It can be used in the simplest fasting pill to increase the fasting time several times. It can also be used in many high-level elixirs to enhance the medicinal strength and efficacy.

Precisely because its medicinal properties are changeable and difficult to control, although black heart lotus has a wide range of uses, it cannot be sold at a very high price. Unless it is an extremely skilled alchemist, ordinary alchemists will not use it!

The vendor sat lazily on the street corner, his eyes rolled back as he stared at the sky. Black Heart Lotus was not a popular herb, and the stall in front of him was full of Black Heart Lotus, while other herbs were very scarce, so few people stopped in front of his stall.

He was in a daze, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, until Li Xiuer came to him with a group of radish heads. He hummed weakly: "Look, these black lotuses that we just picked from Juelong Gorge are definitely fresh goods that are no more than three days old. Look at the lotus seeds in the lotus core, they are still juicy and tender."

Li Xiuer stood in front of the stall with her hands on her hips, looking down at the black heart lotus, squinting her eyes and thinking about how to bargain.

Li Youcai is not a skilled alchemist. He cannot even memorize the most basic pharmacopoeia.

Normally, he would just use black heart lotus to make wine, and add several other extremely yin medicinal herbs. After soaking them in good liquor, the yin would reach its extreme and the yang would be generated. This medicinal wine would then have an extremely strong aphrodisiac effect.

After the entire Li family joined Han Cuiya, their living standards were greatly improved. As one of the most powerful elders in the Li family, and also an old frivolous guy, Li Youcai took in seven or eight concubines without hesitation!

Spiritual practitioners don't care about the polishing of the body, so the physical functions of spiritual practitioners are weak, not much stronger than ordinary people. Li Youcai is old and his cultivation is not very strong, so his body inevitably began to age and decay.

Li Youcai was very particular about the "quality of life". He couldn't let his new concubines stay alone in the room. He didn't know where he got the recipe from, but he started to use black lotus to make wine two years ago.

Everyone in the Li family knew about this.

This old man actually asked his niece to buy materials for making aphrodisiac wine. This kind of behavior is hard to comment on. Anyway, Li Xiuer was so angry that she didn't know who to vent it on.

"It's been three days since I picked it? You still dare to say it's fresh?" Li Xiuer stared at the vendor with a shifty look and said, "Look at your listless look. Tell me a fair price!"

"Thirty-five spirit crystals for one!" The vendor held up three fingers with his left hand and five with his right hand, humming weakly, "It's rare to have business, girl, I'll sell it to you at a low price!"

The corners of Li Xiu'er's eyes twitched violently, and she said coldly: "Thirty-five spirit crystals are too expensive, and it seems that your business is not very good. How about twenty spirit crystals? Cheaper, I will buy more!"

Li Xiuer had a plan in mind. If she could bargain down the price and have more spirit crystals left, she could buy more snacks for the little idiots around her. But it wasn't just these little guys. There were hundreds of these little idiots crawling and rolling around in Hancui Cliff. They were all newly recruited disciples!

Li Xiuer is closest to these little kids and always thinks of them when something good happens!

The vendor rolled his eyes and continued to hum lifelessly: "Girl, you are not buying anything, you are robbing!"

The vendor held up a few fingers and muttered, "Look, Juelong Gorge is so far from Wufeng Gorge. It takes us two or three months to make this trip. After finally reaching Juelong Gorge, we have to brave the dangers of geomagnetic tides. Be careful not to get sucked into the Yuanci Earth Lung and crushed into a meat pie. It took us brothers more than half a month to gather these black heart lotuses."

With a heavy sigh, the vendor looked at Li Xiu'er and shook his head: "Because of these black-hearted lotus, three of our brothers broke their legs and two of them had their heads broken. Now they are lying at home waiting for the money to save their lives. Girl, you can't be any cheaper!"

Li Xiuer frowned. Were these black heart lotuses picked from Juelong Gorge?

Li Xiuer knew that it was a famous dangerous place near the Windless Canyon. There was a crack on the seabed there, leading directly to the magnetic lungs deep in the earth. There were terrible magnetic tides surging in the earth's core all year round.

The powerful magnetic tides absorb a huge amount of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, the spiritual veins around Juelong Gorge are extremely abundant, and there are many spiritual caves and spiritual eyes. Various rare medicinal herbs can often be seen. Occasionally, in some remote places, you can find spiritual medicines that have been cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

There are often groups of low-level spiritual practitioners who want to make a fortune going to Juelong Gorge to collect herbs. There are also often people who are swept into the bottomless underground abyss by the magnetic tides, and never seen again.

"Juelong Gorge is a dangerous place! But..." Li Xiuer frowned and said in a deep voice, "You said that it took you brothers more than half a month to collect these black heart lotuses... and you told me that it only took three days to pick these black heart lotuses! It took you more than three days to return from Juelong Gorge, right? It took at least one or two months of travel, right?"

Li Xiuer was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at the vendor and angrily said, "How dare you fool me?"

"Bad guy!" a little kid shouted crisply.

"Liar!" Another little rascal stomped his feet!

"How dare you lie to Sister Xiu, you are such a bad guy!" A group of little rascals pointed at the hawker and started to make a lot of noise, just like a thousand little ducks quacking at the same time. The hawker, who had been lifeless all the time, started to roll his eyes and his face turned very ugly.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! What are you doing? What are you doing? You can leave if you don't want to buy! We didn't ask you to buy, did we?" The vendor's eyelids fluttered, his small triangular eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and waved his hands vigorously at Li Xiuer, who was half a head taller than him: "Get out, get out, get out, we don't want to do business with you anymore!"

"I said that this black heart lotus is fresh from the harvest just three days ago. It is fresh from the harvest just three days ago! I said that one plant is worth thirty-five spirit crystals, that is..."

The peddler was pointing at Li Xiuer and shouting with saliva flying everywhere. Several patrolling Windless City guards turned from a street corner in front. Hearing the noise here, they hurried over and glared at the peddler with cold eyes.

The vendor's body suddenly shrank a lot, and he smiled and bowed to the guards, saying hello: "Master Hu, Master Guan... Oh, Master Feng, you are here to patrol the streets in person today? Hey, hey, there's nothing going on here, nothing going on, nothing at all!"

Several guards snorted coldly and greeted Li Xiuer one after another.

They and Hu Wanye are brothers of the same generation and have a very close relationship with each other. How could they not recognize Li Xiuer?
