In the meeting hall——
In the center of the hall stands a circular stone platform.
The stone platform is surrounded by several circles of chairs carved from beautiful jade. The backs and armrests of these chairs are carefully carved with various elixir formulas and patterns of spiritual herbs.
In the corner, there are several small and exquisite alchemy furnace models neatly placed.
These alchemy furnaces are made with great precision, with every detail handled just right, and the carvings on the furnace bodies are lifelike.
From time to time, there are wisps of faint medicinal fragrance wafting out from the alchemy furnace, filling the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
After Lu Jingzhi stepped into the meeting hall, he slowly scanned the surroundings.
When his eyes fell on the small alchemy furnaces, a faint fragrance of elixir wafted into his nose.
He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh and pleasant fragrance, and secretly admired it in his heart.
"Master Lu, please take a seat."
"Thank you!"
Lu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, then walked towards his seat.
"Mrs. Lu, please take a seat."
After the mother and son sat down, thousands of maids in uniform came in one after another.
They held trays filled with various cakes and fragrant tea.
In a short while, every table was filled with a wide variety of cakes and tea.
"This tea is a treasure of our mansion! It is blended with precious medicinal herbs and produced by irrigating the tea trees with clear mountain spring water."
“It has a unique taste and extraordinary efficacy.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi picked up the fragrant teacup in front of him with great interest and took a sip.
When you first taste it, you will find the tea quite bitter, but gradually, the bitterness turns into a hint of sweetness.
It slowly flows out from the tip of the tongue, just like tasting the most fragrant tea honey in the world, with an endless aftertaste.
It is no exaggeration to say that the effect of this tea is not inferior to the spiritual tea given by Mu Qing.
"Good tea, really good tea!"
Seeing how much he loved his tea, Li Xiong quickly smiled flatteringly, "Since you like it so much, Lord Lu, why not take some back and enjoy it slowly."
Lu Jingzhi quickly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Palace Master Li is really too polite."
"It's okay, Elder Hu, go to our warehouse and take out the best tea and bring it to our honorable Lord Lu." Li Xiong waved his hand and ordered.
Hu Xin, who was sitting next to him, stood up immediately after hearing the order, saluted Li Xiong with his fists, and then hurried away with big strides.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi slowly spoke out the purpose of his trip.
"Master Li, to be honest, I came to your house today because my mother has always wanted to come here to pay tribute to her best friend."
"But I don't know where they are buried, so I hope Master Li can tell me something."
Li Xiong nodded in sudden realization after hearing this, "So that's how it is. When Elder Hu comes back later, I'll have him lead you two there."
"Thinking back to what happened back then, every time I think back on it, I feel immense sorrow and regret..."
Mu Jin silently pursed his lower lip, lowered his head, and looked extremely sad.
Lu Jingzhi saw all of this.
After all, he had heard Mu Jin mention this past event before.
It was only because Mu Jin accidentally exposed his bloodline power during the cultivator competition.
It instantly attracted the attention of countless people with ill intentions.
From then on, she fell into a tragic situation of being endlessly hunted by various forces.
However, fate is always so cruel and merciless, even to her best friend.
Unfortunately, he died in a thrilling escape while trying to protect Mu Jin.
After experiencing numerous hardships and life-and-death tests, Mu Jin was exhausted both physically and mentally, and finally fled to Panping Town.
Just when she was desperate and almost in despair, Lu Cheng appeared in time and rescued her, giving her a glimmer of hope.
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
To this day, Hu Xin is the only one of his former friends still alive.
At this moment, Li Xiong saw that what he had just said had inadvertently evoked the painful memories deep in Mu Jin's heart, making her look sad.
So he quickly changed the subject tactfully and said, "Ahem... Lord Lu, after careful discussion among everyone in our mansion, we have unanimously decided to cooperate with you."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi, who had been staring at Mu Jin, immediately came to his senses, shifted his gaze away from Mu Jin, and turned to look at Li Xiong.
"That's great, but I wonder how many pills your family can sell me this time?"
Li Xiong smiled slightly and quickly responded, "Master Lu, please be patient and give me a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and gave a few instructions to the subordinate beside him. Soon, the man quickly took out a pen and paper and placed them on the table.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiong personally picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper.
Not long after, Li Xiong finished his writing work and handed the paper full of words to Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi took the paper and looked at it carefully, but saw it clearly written on it.
A third-grade elixir.
- Healing Pills: Quickly heal internal and external wounds, 2325 pills
- Xuanxi Pill: can speed up the practitioner's absorption and recovery of Xuanqi, 1300 pieces
- Bingxin Pill: Can keep the user's mind cool for a short period of time and avoid going astray. 650 pills
- Explosive Flame Pill: A combat pill that can make the Xuan Qi have a flame explosion effect after taking it. 965 pills
Fourth-grade elixir
- Qi Condensation Pill: Helps to condense the mysterious energy, 430 pieces
…
There are more than twenty kinds of elixirs written here, and the lower the grade, the greater the quantity.
"Refine 10,000 more of each of the Healing Pill, Mysterious Breath Pill, Dragon Power Pill, and Explosive Flame Pill... and give them to me. I will pay you half of the deposit tomorrow."
Lu Jingzhi said with a serious expression.
Although there is a special alchemy pavilion within the crusade alliance, the number of pills required to be refined this time is extremely large.
If you rely solely on your own strength, it would be almost impossible to replenish these pills in just two months.
Therefore, outsourcing became the only viable option.
Not only that, Lu Jingzhi plans to return to the mortal realm in person.
Gather the Alchemy Association and the Forging Association there.
Ask them to help him refine the urgently needed pills.
