Chapter 201 Rejection
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist. I don't have this idea for the time being." Li Zhirui refused without hesitation.
Jiang Fengwu was still unwilling to give up after hearing this, because when she was distributing the elixir last night, she found that the elixir he gave was of excellent quality. The erysipelas was more than twice as much as what was sold in the store, and the efficacy was also much higher.
One can imagine how high Li Zhirui's alchemy level is.
At that time, someone mentioned inviting him to join the team. In this way, they would spend much less on spiritual elixirs in the future and could accumulate more spiritual stones.
You must know that most of the monks in their team are casual cultivators, including Jiang Fengwu. Without the support of their family or sect, they naturally save what they can.
Jiang Fengwu was very moved by this, but he was also worried that Li Zhirui would think that they were trying to repay a favor.
But in the end, after everyone's persuasion, she finally agreed to come and ask to see Li Zhirui's reaction.
"Fellow Taoist, are you trying to repay a favor?" Li Zhirui frowned slightly. If this was the case, it would be difficult to solve the cause and effect of this life-saving incident.
When Jiang Fengwu heard this, he shook his head quickly and explained hurriedly: "Fellow Taoist misunderstood, we don't have this idea, we just think that the elixir refined by fellow Taoist is of excellent quality, and everyone wants to buy high-quality elixir at low price. That’s why I came up with the idea of inviting fellow Taoists to join the team.”
Li Zhirui's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. If this was the case, it would be excusable.
Because he knew how good the quality of the elixir he refined was. After all, the elixirs he gave out were all for himself or his relatives and friends, so he naturally had to use all his skills to pursue perfection.
If it were to be sold, Li Zhirui would not waste so much effort.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly thought that I had made a mistake. This was the first time he took out such a good elixir. What would those monks think if the quality was poor later? Do you think he is perfunctory with them?
"We will never squeeze fellow Taoists. Matters related to alchemy will be decided by fellow Taoists on their own, and we will never interfere." Jiang Fengwu emphasized many times.
"Sorry, thank you fellow Taoist for your kindness." But Li Zhirui still refused.
Jiang Fengwu asked unwillingly: "Can I ask my friend why you are not willing?"
"I have been away for a long time, and I will return to the family soon." Li Zhirui said, "And I am injured now, so I cannot refine the elixir with high intensity."
When Jiang Fengwu heard this, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. His reason was reasonable, but if she continued to pester him, she would appear to be particularly ignorant.
"Okay then." Jiang Fengwu looked disappointed, "It's me who is bothering fellow Taoist this time, please don't blame me."
Li Zhirui said politely: "It's okay. If you have any needs for spiritual elixirs, fellow Taoist, just come to me directly."
Jiang Fengwu nodded, turned and left.
When she returned to the team station, looking at the disappointed team members, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "Fellow Daoist Li will leave the fairy city after he recovers from his injuries. If you have any elixirs you want, you can count them." Get up and arrange a special person to send him there."
These words not only explained why Li Zhirui did not agree to join them, but also told everyone that he had not gone back on what he had promised before.
It didn't take long for everyone to register the elixirs they needed, and finally handed the jade slips to Jiang Fengwu.
"This is?"
"Captain, you haven't registered yet!" The monk said, "As soon as you register, hand the jade slip to fellow Taoist Li."
Jiang Fengwu didn't care, but she didn't go to Li Zhirui the next day, but waited for several days before leaving.
A few days later.
Knock knock——
A crisp knock on the door woke up Li Zhirui, who was recovering from his injuries. After slowly finishing his work, he stood up and opened the door.
"But you have already registered the elixirs you need?" As soon as Li Zhirui saw that the person coming was Jiang Fengwu, he knew what she was doing and said with a smile.
"Yes." Jiang Fengwu handed the jade slips and a storage bag containing a large amount of elixirs and spiritual stones to Li Zhirui and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Li Zhirui did not speak, but first checked all kinds of elixirs in the jade slips. After a moment, he thought to himself: Those monks had some conscience and did not ask for too many elixirs because he only charged for the elixirs, and these Spiritual pills are relatively common, and the difficulty is not too high.
Of course, the number of spiritual pills needed by a dozen foundation-building monks was not large, but it did not exceed Li Zhirui's psychological expectations.
But what he didn't know was not that their consciences still existed, but that they only had so many spiritual stones and could only buy so many spiritual medicines.
Li Zhirui made an estimate in his mind before speaking: "The number of elixirs you want is quite large and cannot be refined in a short time. It will take at least two or three months to complete them all."
Mainly because the meridians in his body are fragile and he cannot refine the elixir for a long time. If it were before, he could complete it in less than a month.
"If fellow Taoist don't mind, you can send someone to pick up a batch of spiritual pills every ten days."
Jiang Fengwu nodded and said, "Then just do what fellow Taoist said."
After that, he stood up and left.
In the next three months, Li Zhirui stayed in the rented cave without taking a step out.
And every ten days, Jiang Fengwu would knock on the door and come to get the elixir he had refined.
This made Li Zhirui a little curious. As the most powerful captain of the team, she actually did such small things herself.
However, thanks to this, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and they can be said to be each other's new friends.
"This is the last batch of elixirs." Li Zhirui returned the storage bag where the elixirs and spiritual stones had been placed.
"Thanks to you during this period, the strength of our team members has improved."
Li Zhirui said a few words modestly, and then said: "Next, I am going to retreat to heal my wounds. If fellow Taoists need any more elixirs, please give me the list as soon as possible, so that I can refine them during the retreat."
"Refining the elixir during seclusion?" Jiang Fengwu said a little embarrassed, "Will this disturb you?"
Li Zhirui shook his head with a smile and explained: "Alchemy is a way of cultivation for me. It also allows me to relax and is out of the way."
"Then I'll bother you fellow Taoist." Jiang Fengwu did not refuse such a good thing. After all, not to mention whether there is a panacea of this quality on the market, even if it is, the high price is enough to make them retreat.
He just said: "After this incident, the karma between Taoist friends and us should be wiped out."
"Okay." The smile on Li Zhirui's face became brighter. After all, this matter could not only help him settle the cause and effect, but also earn a fortune in spiritual stones through the price difference. Why not?
