While talking, Zhang Baoren searched for what he needed in various stalls on both sides of the street.

Cedony, Glazed Glass, Cloud Essence, Mermaid Pearl...

Although the auxiliary materials required for these "shadowless water" are ordinary things, they are not easy to obtain. If you rely solely on yourself, you will have to spend some effort.

So Zhang Baoren got the money and then came to buy it. This way, it can save a little time compared to slowly searching.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Baoren did not directly find a large shop with all their treasures to buy them all at once.

Instead, I walked along the way, and bought some common things such as glass, ink stones, marmoset beads, etc. from small stalls and shops.

The remaining treasures, Jade Chopin and Yun Jing, were bought in a shop called Wantong Baolou in the Li family.

After buying the items, most of the "beef" I just came here was lost...

Along the way, Zhiqiu just followed around quietly, helping to carry the goods, without asking what Zhang Baoren wanted to buy? What do you want to do? He strictly abides by the rules and does not cross the slightest.

But after the serious work was done, the leader between the two naturally turned into Zhiqiu.

Zhang Baoren followed her to a place where craftsmen were also dominated by the "Li Family", which seemed to be a place in the talent market in the past life full of various waiting work.

After some selection, I finally selected two women and chefs who were not wrong in appearance and were quite quick in their hands and feet.

The cook is a woman who looks over thirties and is called Sister Xu by others.

I heard that after working in a big restaurant for two years, although her cooking skills are not as good as a real chef, she is more than enough for home cooking. More importantly, she can cook Jiuzhou-style dishes.

The woman who does the job is a middle-aged woman who looks smart and capable, has a kind smile on her face, and is slightly fat. She is called Aunt Wang.

I negotiated the price with these two people, made a contract, and told them the address of their homes to come to my house tomorrow.

You should know that Zhang Baoren did not buy the two of them. His relationship with them was not a master and servant, but a contractual relationship just like working in his previous life, including Zhiqiu.

Although the customs of this world, even if it is hired, the master has greater advantages in dignity and rights, in essence, both parties are still equal.

Generally, free people who do not sell themselves in the market will not have an advantage even if they have better conditions.

Because buying a servant is just your own property, and even if you are excellent, you are still an outsider, and it is not your own "thing".

But Zhang Baoren prefers this.

At this point, everything was completed successfully, and Zhang Baoren had no time to wander around, so he was about to fight back home.

At this time, I discovered that there was something that had not been considered perfectly before.

As a big city, the mall has a very wide area. Even if Zhang Baoren's house and the west streets of the destination are in the core area, they will not really cross the entire city.

But there was a long distance between them, and before coming, Zhiqiu had traveled to the Wuzhai for no reason, and after coming, he took a walk.

Even though she is not a delicate lady, no matter how solid she is, an ordinary woman always has her limits.

At this time, Zhang Baoren could already see the difficulty of his walking.

Although Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and did not reveal the difficulties, Zhang Baoren was not a ignorant cold-blooded guy.

I originally wanted to come from the north of the city, buy things and then turn back from the south of the city, and just walk the entire city up.

It was no longer possible at this time. If you continue, something might happen to someone.

So Zhang Baoren took him to the road where decent people from the east and west, and planned to go back and walk here.

This road is actually the moat that divides the inner and outer cities.

The river just connects all directions, and because it can rely on flowing water, it can travel between the east and west without any effort.

The two arrived at the ferry, and there were no ships yet. After waiting for the boat, Zhang Baoren bought another large porcelain bowl with Jiuzhou style that looked a little rough.

Zhiqiu sat down and rested...

After a short while, the boat came, Zhiqiu got up and negotiated the price. Then the two of them took the bags and packages they bought and took the boat.

As soon as the boatman weighs the bamboo pole, the boat goes down the river...

On this road, there is another scenery. The clear and peaceful moat is rippling, and a few swans are playing and soaring on the water...

Weeping willows are planted on both sides of the strait. Although they are now bare due to the season, they can still imagine their tender yellow appearance.

On both sides of the willow tree are jade buildings and jade houses. People in it can open the door and see the inner city and the green trees and clear water playing with the big geese.

The people in the river raised their heads, and the people in the windowsill were also able to see them.

The same beauty is incredible.

The boat was floating leisurely in the river, enjoying the scenery on both sides while rushing towards home.

Time flies...

When Zhang Baoren and his wife returned to the Xinde Mansion, the sky was already dark.

Because I had some snacks in the west of the city before and didn't have to eat, Zhang Baoren asked Zhiqiu, who was already extremely tired, to rest first.

He himself cooked a pot of tea for himself, and then carried the teapot to the large bedroom.

Put down the teapot and place the various ingredients you bought on the Eight Immortals table with that big bowl.

Zhang Baoren sat upright on a mahogany round stool and first picked up a flawless piece of jade as big as a fist from the small sandalwood tray.

If you turn on the real perspective, you can see that there is still a flash of inspiration on it.

This thing is "chalcedony". It must be produced in a large mine. It is an absolute rare treasure.

Of course... this statement is for ordinary people and ordinary people. I heard in Jiuzhou that someone is studying low-cost practice methods.

Put the chalcedony in a large bowl, and then took out a stone bottle the size of a fist and smooth surface from the side.

I reached out and pulled out the sealed plug, and I immediately saw that most of the transparent bottles of liquid instantly turned into white air, floating leisurely from the mouth of the bottle.

Zhang Baoren stretched out his finger and turned the white mist like clouds, guided by his fingertips, circled in the air and then sank into the bowl.

This object is the most spiritual wisp of the clouds on the top of the Jue Peak, and it is called "Yun Jing".

This wisp of "cloud essence" is taken from Kunyun Mountain not far away.

"Chalcedony" and "Yun Jing", although these two medicines are ordinary things, they are treasures in them, and vaguely involve some extraordinary nature.

The two things are the main ingredients in the medicine laying, and they are the big part of Zhang Baoren's spending this time.

As the clouds enter the bowl, two things with completely different natures, light and heavy, are very harmoniously combined.

The cloud spirit no longer rises, as if it is bound by something, and it seems that its nature has become heavy, sinking into the bowl like running water, filling the big bowl with a full flowing bowl.

The chalcedony that was faintly visible was stained with some crystal dew frost, and with the flowing light on its body, there was a faint glow flashing.

At first glance, it seemed as if there was a fairy stone floating in the sea of ​​clouds, which was really beautiful.

Then Zhang Baoren kept adding other auxiliary materials to it in turn, crystal clear glass... The bedroom shining brightly like a mermaid pearl in the daytime...

With the addition of these things, the full bowl of clouds continued to shrink and expand.

Finally, a small pile of sand that looks like virtual, real, and like a dream is thrown into the boiling sea of ​​clouds.

A strange change occurred in the bowl in an instant, from boiling to extreme silence, and the rolling sea of ​​clouds was as high as a bowl of fresh milk.

Then the changes continued, and the clouds that filled the entire bowl gradually dissipated again, which could also be said to be precipitation.

Without the cover of the sea of ​​clouds, a bowl was revealed... Well, at first glance, it was an empty bowl with nothing.

But seriously, you can see that the bowl is filled with half a bottom and as clear as the spring water, but under the action of an unknown force, there is no refraction of light and shadow.

It looks like nothing at first glance.

At this point, "Shadowless Water" is completed.

Zhang Baoren breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take the teapot next to him. The warm tea that had just dried was poured into his mouth.

He poured a pot of tea in one mouthful, turned his head and spit out a few pieces of astringent tea leaves that had leaked the net.

Then he calmed down, reached out and picked up the big bowl in front of him, and sent most of the invisible liquid into his mouth.

The entrance of the medicine liquid is as if it is, without any obvious touch, but when it falls into the abdomen, it turns into a weak force and merges into the body and spreads throughout the body.

In an instant, I felt a huge pain from the soul erupting from every inch of the body and every corner of the body and spreading into my heart.

The kind of pain that cannot be avoided and has nowhere to escape is more painful than going down a pan, going up an iceberg, and sucking cramps and skin.

Zhang Baoren fell to the ground in an instant, and his whole body twitched uncontrollably.

The heart of emptiness can barely feel it, and the whole body seems to be cracked, as if it is being decomposed and dissolved from some tight state.

The perfect body is gradually collapsing and disappearing from the extremely tiny and meticulous level...

But at the same time, with a bell ringing throughout the body and mind, the real soul in the sea of ​​consciousness operates on its own in accordance with some change.

It became like a sun in a dead world, and bright spiritual lights and divine lights burst out from the body of the soul.

This light penetrates endless darkness and silence, as if it has penetrated through the sea of ​​consciousness and shining on an unknown level or world.

The next moment, in reality, the skeleton in Zhang Baoren's body, which seemed to be beautiful and beautiful, suddenly became energetic, and it gradually became more transparent and became like crystal.

At the same time, the spiritual light and changes are radiating towards the surroundings with the crystal skeleton as the core.

The body also becomes jade-like like a skeleton, becoming transparent, but not empty, with a real and imaginary texture.

The spiritual light gradually replaced the dissipated body from virtual to real, and supported the dissipated body again.
To be continued...
