Chapter 280: An unusual recipe for longevity

After the other party told him, Xu Feng understood.

Lou Ying is a female cultivator who aims to travel around the world of immortality. Because her travel plan was affected by the war between Zhao and Wei, and she had very few spiritual stones left, she happened to find Tongxin Pavilion recruiting people, so she came to apply for the job. Treasure Master.

After passing the assessment of the three women, the other party stayed here and was responsible for the appraisal of the treasure.

Xu Feng is not worried about the other party's business ability, because if the other party is telling the truth, then they have found a treasure.

The headquarters is located in the Zhenbao Pavilion of Chu State, which is a super business kingdom. It is so powerful that it surpasses more than ten nearby countries. It is rumored that there is a super strong man who is half-stepped into a god in the sect.

Let's put it this way, Yuhua Palace, which ranks first in the Wei Kingdom in terms of strength, is dwarfed by others and is not at the same level at all.

They have shops in medium and large markets in nearby countries, with tentacles spread across every corner.

Besides, it is a force of the nature of a chamber of commerce, so most of the monks trained in it have very professional qualities, and identifying all kinds of spiritual objects is a basic skill, because their main job is to deal with all kinds of spiritual objects. .

But what makes Xu Feng a little curious is that although there is no Zhenbao Pavilion in Shanyangfang, there is a branch of Zhenbao Pavilion in Linglongfang, located in the west of Jiugong Sect, two thousand miles away. Why? Where can I see her applying for a job?

"Fellow Taoist, here's the thing. The Treasure Pavilion has regulations that any monk who quits halfway will not be allowed to be hired again."

Lou Ying chuckled and replied, maybe it was because she had worked in Zhenbao Pavilion and she was impeccable in dealing with others. Even her smile seemed so friendly and made people feel like spring breeze.

Hearing this, Xu Feng didn't ask any more questions. Since the three women had hired her, he should trust the three women's vision. It didn't seem appropriate for him to ask back and forth like this.

So he changed the subject and said:

"Fairy Lou, I wonder what kind of deal the fellow Taoist who left just now made with us?"

Hearing him ask this, Lou Ying seemed to remember something and blamed herself again and again:

"Blame me, blame me. I was just talking and almost forgot about business. Shopkeeper, look at this."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of bare animal skin from her storage bag and pushed it in front of him from the other side of the table.

"What is this? It looks old."

While Xu Feng picked up the animal skin, he looked at Lou Ying and asked.

"According to the fellow Taoist who left just now, what was recorded on this piece of animal skin should be a life-extending elixir, and the grade is not low. He was out of curiosity and found it in Huazhou, Wei State, decades ago. Bought at an auction.

He was also an alchemist himself, so after getting this piece of animal skin, he began to study hard to refine the elixir recorded on it.

Unexpectedly, he tried many times without success. Finally, at an alchemist exchange meeting, he took out this elixir recipe and discussed it with other second-level alchemists.

At that exchange meeting, there happened to be an alchemist from a famous sect who kindly gave him a heads up and told him that the elixir recipe was actually broken and should only be part of a complete elixir recipe, which was why he could not refine it.

After hearing the news, the obsession in the old man's heart not only did not disappear, but became more and more serious. He secretly vowed to use his own efforts to complete this elixir, and then refine the elixir to prolong life. .

However, his own level of alchemy was only second-level low-grade, and it was not very high. It was extremely difficult to accomplish this task, so he was unable to complete it until his lifespan was about to run out.

However, based on his own research and understanding, he barely made up part of it, but is it true or false? He himself was not sure whether he could refine it, because according to his own judgment, the grade of the elixir that was made up was very likely to reach the third level.

I don't know much about alchemy, and the elixir recipe is within my blind spot of knowledge. It just so happens that you, the shopkeeper, are proficient in alchemy, so you can check the authenticity of the elixir recipe. "

After hearing this, Xu Feng carefully looked at the various elixirs recorded on the elixir prescriptions, hoping to confirm the authenticity in this way.

"Phoenix blood vine, piranha, white bitterweed, vine, ground dragon earthworm, iron-footed centipede..."

As he watched, Xu Feng's eyebrows knitted together unconsciously, and he said hesitantly:

"The things recorded on the elixir do not look like things that can prolong life, but are mostly poisonous. I don't know how the old man who left just now could have concluded that this is a prescription for prolonging life. It's really strange. Weird!"

"He also explained this, saying that this was how the auctioneer promoted it when the auction was held, and the powerful alchemist he met at the exchange meeting confirmed this idea again."

Lou Ying watched the changes in Xu Feng's face carefully and answered gently.

"Well, that may be because I have too little knowledge and do not understand the true meaning of the elixir. When my master Lu Zhenren comes back from the front line, I will go and ask him for advice."

Hearing what Lou Ying said, Xu Feng became unsure of his own judgment. Although the elixirs recorded on it were basically poisons, no one stipulated that these things could not be included in the elixirs that prolong life.

Moreover, among the more than 30 kinds of elixirs recorded on it, there are more than ten kinds of names that are old enough. They were called thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, which are completely different from today.

Judging from this, this recipe seems to have been passed down for many years and is indeed of certain research value.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng raised his head and looked at Lou Ying who was sitting on the other side of the round table and asked:

"How much spirit stones did he offer for this recipe?"

"The old man offered 10,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Hearing this answer, Xu Feng was slightly dissatisfied. A residual recipe that could probably not be used to refine any elixir was not worth so many spirit stones.

"However, I did not agree to his offer. After some bargaining, the deal was made for 3,000 spirit stones. Shopkeeper, did I offer too high a price?"

Lou Ying carefully probed Xu Feng's tone. She knew that the person in front of her had the final say in Tongxin Pavilion. If he was not satisfied, it would be difficult for her to keep her job.

She and the three women had negotiated very generous treatment at the time, so she was unwilling to lose this job.

"Three thousand spirit stones? Not bad, even if this recipe turns out to be fake, it still has some research value, so just take it!"

Xu Feng was not a very harsh shopkeeper, so he did not criticize Lou Ying.

Just as the two were talking, a few people walked in from outside the store. They were Luo Xinran and her three daughters and Xu Liqi who had just returned from outside.
