Chapter 181: Spiritual Root Essence
The old ancestor in red pretended to be mysterious and said, "This question involves the secret of the rules, I cannot disclose it casually. Please come with me. The last time I failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlords, this time I must taste our magical specialties and then discuss the transaction."
Li Fei replied happily: "It is better to obey your orders than respect, so I will disturb the ancestor."
After a stick of incense, Li Fei and Yue'er entered a spacious and bright stone house with the Red Ancestor. The most peculiar thing is that the open space in front of the stone house can actually see the stars in the sky. They are definitely not decorated, but shadows through real projections.
After the guest of honor took the seat, the two cute dwarf girls poured each of them a cup of light golden translucent liquid and then retreated.
Yue'er glanced thoughtfully, picked up the cup, took a sip, and after savoring it, she said in surprise: "Old ancestor, you are so amazing, you can also find the spiritual root essence liquid! I could believe it at first."
The old ancestor in red smiled and said, "Miss Yue'er is very eye-catching! However, this is not a pure spiritual root liquid, there is only one drop in a cup."
Li Fei asked curiously: "What is spiritual root essence liquid?"
Yue'er explained: "To some extent, the spiritual root essence liquid is not a liquid, but is close to a kind of unformed spiritual object. Its function is magical and it can have a certain chance of allowing mortals without spiritual roots to have spiritual roots that can cultivate. Of course, even if they have spiritual roots, they only have the lowest qualifications, but they are already very outrageous."
The Red-clothed Patriarch added: "It also has an effect on cultivators. It can purify spiritual roots. As for the great effect, it varies from person to person."
Li Fei could no longer listen, so he picked up the cup and drank it all in one sip. He sucked it indifferently, and rolled the remaining water stains into his mouth!
The old ancestor in red looked at Li Fei in surprise, and after a while, he said embarrassedly: "Fellow Daoist Li, although the spiritual root essence liquid has the effect of improving the spiritual root, its real effect is still very limited... It is mainly because of its excellent taste..."
Li Fei smashed his mouth and said impatiently: "Old ancestor, don't stop these useless ones, come a few more cups! I've bought them with spirit stones."
Although the old ancestor in red was puzzled, he waved his hand and called the two girls in, pouring Li Fei a full cup.
Li Fei drank all the spiritual root liquid in the cup in an instant again, and was too lazy to speak, so he directly stretched over the cup.
After drinking seven or eight cups in a row, Li Fei put down the cup with satisfaction. The most important thing is that the spiritual root liquid can no longer be poured out from the pot...
Seeing Li Fei exaggeratingly, Yue'er handed over her most of her cup and said caringly: "Brother Fei, you like to drink it, so you can drink this cup too, it's useless to me anyway."
Li Fei asked suspiciously: "It's really useless to you?"
Yue'er's head was thrust
Li Fei took it without hesitation and drank it all in one sip.
The Red-clothed Ancestor said slowly at this time: "The effect of the spiritual root essence liquid on improving the lower-grade spiritual roots is obvious. The effect on the medium-grade spiritual roots is almost negligible. If the medium-grade spiritual roots go up, they will not have any effect. Moreover, even if they have effects, they are still one-time, and using one or two drops at a time is enough."
Li Fei hurriedly asked, "Does the amount I just drank meet the standard?"
The old ancestor in red smiled bitterly and said, "It is definitely far beyond the standard, at least eight*9 drops."
Li Fei was in a very good mood and said happily: "That's good. Ancestor, we will start talking about the main things now. By the way, how many spiritual stones do I need to pay for the spiritual root liquid I just drank just now, just talk."
The old ancestor in red shook his head and said, "There is no need for spirit stones, I originally invited you."
Li Fei said gratefully: "Then thank you for your ancestor! If you have something to do in the future, just speak up and as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
The old ancestor in red lit up his eyes and said, "I really have something to do and want to ask friends for help. I know you are an excellent alchemist. Can you help refine or acquire the top-grade Jiling Pill? Without the top-grade Jiling Pill, the medium-grade Jiling Pill is also OK."
Without saying a word, Li Fei took out a top-grade Ji Ling Pill, plus three medium-grade Ji Ling Pills and handed it over.
The old ancestor in red showed a happy expression, took the four silence spirit pills in his heart, looked it over and over again, and then put it in two jade bottles, and then said gratefully: "Thank you so much for my friend! You can just speak up if you need to pay for how many spirit stones I need."
Li Fei smiled happily and said, "I don't need spirit stones, I just treat it as a spiritual root liquid that I give back to the ancestor, and I will give it to the ancestor for free!"
The old ancestor in red also imitated Li Fei, killed the spiritual root essence liquid in the cup in one mouthful, and said happily: "Now talk about the main thing!"
After Li Fei took out all the materials on the list, he said: "There are relevant requirements on the list, and all the materials are here. I'll see if there are any missing ones."
The Red-clothed Ancestor just checked it out and said, "The materials should be enough. If nothing unexpected happens, they should not be used. It's just that the number is huge. If it is refined, it will take at least two or three years. Generally, the magic weapons used in the foundation-building stage are relatively easy to complete. I need to do it myself in the refining of many spiritual weapons, so I can only do it as soon as possible."
Li Fei said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, just refine it normally. Haste is not enough, and it may be wasted materials."
The old ancestor in red said: "Please rest assured about the quality. All of our weapon refiners are extremely dedicated. They are not only responsible for the treasures they have been refined, but also for themselves."
Li Fei said: "The ancestor thinks there is no problem with the materials. So, look at the refining cost. How many pieces are suitable?"
The old ancestor in red thought for a while and said seriously: "The magic weapon is cheaper, but the quality required on the list is relatively high. At least 30,000 spirit stones are charged per piece. For spiritual weapons, they usually charge different fees according to the preciousness of the materials, but at least five to ten times that of the magic weapon."
Li Fei was not interested in counting one by one, then counting it one by one, and said happily: "Old ancestor, you have roughly read the list just now, so let's give a total price together."
The Red-clothed ancestor frowned and thought for a while before he said in embarrassment: "If you count them one by one, it will definitely exceed 100 million spirit stones, but I can give you the lowest discount price of 80 million spirit stones! And the endless materials can be returned to you. Of course, you can also choose not to return the remaining materials, otherwise you can also lose 10 million spirit stones."
Li Fei thought without thinking at all and said directly: "I know you need more materials than spirit stones, so I just sold 70 million spirit stones, and the remaining materials belong to you."
The old ancestor in red showed a satisfied smile and said happily: "It's settled, I'll arrange for people to start refining immediately."
Li Fei bowed his head, asked for a dan house, and said goodbye with Yue'er and left.
In the following time, Li Fei focused on refining the spiritual transformation pill, Yue'er practiced, and the dwarves were busy refining various magic weapons.
When I was busy, time always passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, three years have passed. All the spiritual medicines brought by Li Fei have been refined. While I was resting, Black Stone came over.
Li Fei stood up and greeted Yue'er, and returned to the stone house of the Red-clothed Ancestor with Heishi.
As soon as the old ancestor in red saw Li Fei and Yue'er, he exaggeratedly said: "I'm so tired! Fortunately, some of the more critical works finally managed to complete the task."
Li Fei said politely: "Thank you for your hard work, my ancestor and fellow Taoists!"
After handing over the two storage bracelets to Li Fei, the ancestor of red clothes said: "All works are sorted out. You can carefully check whether the quantity and quality meet the requirements."
Li Fei dared not be careless about the acceptance. If he waited back and found that there was something that did not meet the requirements, he could not explain it to his disciples. So he took out various magic weapons in batches and then compared the list to check them one by one.
It took almost a day and a night to check all the magic weapons. The Red-clothed Ancestor was also very patient, always with him, never urged him, and also answered various questions raised by Li Fei and Yue'er from time to time.
During the Q&A with the Red-clothed Ancestor, Li Fei learned a lot about refining various magic weapons, which was considered an additional gain.
After putting away all the magic weapons, Li Fei took out a storage bracelet and handed it to the Red-clothed Ancestor, and said gratefully: "After checking, all the magic weapons have met the requirements, and about 20% of the works have exceeded the requirements given in the list. Thank you again for your hard work! This is reward, please check it."
The old ancestor in red said politely: "The cooperation has just begun, I hope the cooperation will be more pleasant in the future! In addition, I want to make a statement that if we refine a large number of magic weapons in the future, we will do some processing, and it will not be obvious that it is from our hands."
Li Feitou said: "No, I will mention this too. This is a thing that is beneficial to both parties and can reduce unnecessary trouble."
The old ancestor in red praised his head and said happily: "Even if the main transaction between us is successfully completed, will you have any other arrangements next?"
Li Fei smiled and said, "Old rule, I want to sell a batch of spiritual transformation pills. Ancestor, do you think you have called other fellow Taoists here, or have you purchased them in a unified manner?"
The old ancestor in red smiled and said, "I just made some hard work from you, so I will try to buy them together first. If I can't accept them all, I will call them over."
Li Fei waved his hand and ten super-large jade bottles appeared on the jade table, and introduced: "There are a total of 10,000 spiritual elixirs, of which three thousand of them reached the medium-grade ones."
The old ancestor in red looked at such a large number of spirit transformation pills and couldn't help swallowing. His eyes became hot. After calming down his excitement, he began to check carefully. After reading it, he said in a negotiated tone: "For our more pleasant cooperation in the future, I hope my friend will also give me a friend a price, I will ask for all 35 million spirit stones!"
Li Fei said without hesitation: "No problem, just make a deal at the price given by the ancestor!"
The old ancestor in red smiled happily and said enthusiastically: "Friends are so happy! I have made you a friend! I hope our friendship will last forever! Haha..."
