White Cloud City, at the entrance and exit.

One was wearing a cloak and a hood covering most of his face, and his dark yellow face was vaguely visible.

This kind of dress did not attract the attention of the surrounding monks. There were some monks wearing metal masks, and some even wore bone masks, hoods, etc. It was not surprising.

This is exactly Cheng Buzheng, who has been carefully dressed up, using both physical and magical disguises.

After subconsciously scanning around, he joined the long queue to enter the city.

As the team advanced slowly, he walked forward absent-mindedly, and at the same time he couldn't help but think. The few spirit medicine, Stipend Pavilion and Green Spirit Grass he needed now had been successfully purchased, but the remaining three spirit medicine had not yet been found.

Although he also wanted to issue a mission to find spirit medicine, at this moment, in the eyes of others, he was just a Early Qi Refining Stage monk. Such behavior was really eye-catching and inconsistent with his low-key character.

"I wonder, among White Cloud City, can we find the other three types of spirit medicine?

At least, you must first find Seven-Leaf Flower and refine the (extreme version) Qi Gathering Pill.

As for the (extreme version) Qi Gathering Pill, it won't be used in a short period of time. It's better to buy it. If you can't buy it, do some research in advance. When the time comes, you will be anxious to use it. Like now, you will search blindly without any direction."

Not long after.

After entering White Cloud City, Cheng Buzheng walked to Little Daoist in the street stall area. He saw that there were almost no traces of refining Qi Gathering Pill spirit medicine in many stalls, and he felt sad in his heart.

"The spirit medicine on the street stalls are becoming more and more rare. I can't get the bargains anymore. I have to go to the store in the end."

After visiting the street stall area, he still didn't find the spirit medicine he needed. Then, Cheng Buzheng stopped and turned around to walk into the store area.

Not long after.

A young man wearing a cloak and a hood covering most of his face, with a dimly visible dark yellow face, stopped in front of the luxurious loft door.

The attic occupies a large area, with a total of six floors. The open door and the plaque above the door are written with three large characters "Hundred Treasures Pavilion", which is shining and dazzling.

Cheng Buzheng didn't hesitate and strode into the hall.

The luxurious hall can accommodate more than twenty people without looking crowded.

The interior is magnificent, with the four walls inlaid with rare treasures Exotic Beast carved by Spirit Mine, which are lifelike.

There are three extra-long counters in the hall, all made of crystal. Many monks are walking around inside, creating a lively scene.

On both sides of the gate, there were several Green-Clothed Attendant standing.

Not far away, a Green-Clothed Attendant and a monk who looked like a guest were communicating something.

A few Green-Clothed Attendant were standing on one side of the gate, and a rather handsome young man came over.

He saluted Cheng Buzheng,

"Dear guest, what do you need to buy?"

Cheng Buzheng lowered his voice and said hoarsely.

"Buy some spirit medicine!"

Green-Clothed Attendant After listening, his eyes lit up and he said respectfully:

"Dear guest, please come this way!"

After saying that, he led him towards the second floor!

Climb to the second floor and walk into a room measuring three feet in diameter.

The four walls of the room are made of wooden walls made by Spirit Wood, with simple patterns carved on them and antique furniture.

The overall look is quite simple and elegant.

Sitting at the table in the middle was a thin old man.

Wearing a white Confucian robe, he drank tea leisurely.

Cheng Buzheng sensed that the old man in Confucian robes was exuding a surging Spirit Pressure.

"It's definitely Brother Peak Qi Refining Stage. I, a little shrimp, have to be careful."

Green-Clothed Attendant walked quickly to the side of Lao Dao, lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.

The old man in Confucian robes calmly put down his teacup, stood up and said with a smile,

"What spirit medicine does this little friend need?"

Cheng Buzheng didn't speak, but handed over a piece of Jade Slip.

The old man in Confucian robes smiled and took the Jade Slip.

Lean less.

"Could it be that my little friend is Alchemist?"

Cheng Buzheng thought to himself, how poisonous are the shopkeepers' eyes these days? With just a few spirit medicines, one can figure out whether the other party is a Alchemist, or the other party is simply reasoning. After all, most of the monks who buy spirit medicine are Alchemist.

He knew that he had to dispel the suspicion of the old man in Confucian robes, so he pulled down his hood, revealing a dark yellow green face.

"Senior, do you think I can refine middle-grade elixirs?"

The old man in Confucian robes was suddenly startled. He just noticed that he was a monk named Third Level of Qi Refining. Although he could barely refine elixirs, he could at best refine low-grade elixirs. No matter how talented he was, he could not refine mid-grade elixirs at this age.

Every mid-level Alchemist has experienced countless failures, slowly improved its success rate, and then been promoted. It is absolutely impossible to be promoted all at once.

Therefore, every Alchemist is very precious, and they are also the targets of his wooing. Although the guess is wrong, the young man in front of him must be related to Alchemist.

Thinking of this, the old man in Confucian robes showed a gentle smile.

"These spiritual herbs are not cheap!"

"Do you have them all?"

"Seven-Leaf Flower, Hundred-Dew Grass, Sun-Eating Flower, these three do not exist!"

"I don't know. What else do you need, little friend?"

"No more."

The old man in Confucian robes said with a smile,

"Little friend, who did you buy it for? Spirit medicine!"

Cheng Buzheng, my heart skipped a beat, it seems that this problem still cannot be avoided, so I naturally said,

"Of course I bought it for my master."

"Who is your master? Maybe I know him! I'll give you a discount if you're an acquaintance."

Cheng Buzheng thought to himself, I know someone. I'm sitting right in front of you!

"Who knows what that old man's name is?

Others call him 'Old Monster Huang'"

Cheng Buzheng said nonchalantly.

The old man in Confucian robes secretly thought:

"There is no Alchemist among White Cloud City named Huang!

Hmm. It's very possible that he is a monk from outside."

"If, little friend, I can introduce you to your master, how about I give you a 15% discount this time?"

The old man in Confucian robes showed a honey-like smile.

As a performer, Cheng Buzheng immediately showed off his superb acting skills and looked at the old man in Confucian robes with a look of fear on his face, as if he would be punished by his master.

"No, no!"

The old man in Confucian robes had a look of pity on his face, and then he turned his eyes.

"How do you sell the elixirs refined by your master?"

Cheng Buzheng, immediately showed his professional qualities and said proudly.

"Of course, I set up a street stall to sell it!

Hmm! Not all the precious elixirs I sell are handled by the master."

He murmured in his heart, scholars have too many minds.

The old man in Confucian robes showed a smile like an old fox,

"Your master wants you to sell elixirs, but come to me. And there will be benefits every time."

Cheng Buzheng looked hesitant and glanced at the old man in Confucian robes.

"Is there any error in Spirit Stone?

Otherwise I won't be able to pay the job!"

The old man in Confucian robes was slightly stunned and silent for a moment.

"There is a slight error. Just go back and ask your master!"

If you persuade your master to sell the refined Dudan medicine to me in the future, I will give you some kickbacks, how about it?"

The old man in Confucian robes seduced him again.

Cheng Buzheng's face keeps changing, from the initial heartbeat, hesitation, to the final determination, the transition between expressions is quite natural and harmonious.

"Okay! I'll go back and give it a try!" Then, he stared at the old man in Confucian robes tightly and said, "What's the benefit?"

The old man in Confucian robe thought for a moment,

"How about one Low-grade Magic Tool!"

Cheng Buzheng took a secret breath and muttered in his heart, how generous, Low-grade Magic Tool is at least fifty yuan Spirit Stone to start with.

"Okay, just wait for my good news!"

Then, he showed a furious look,

"This is Spirit Stone. It's a bargain with the elixir. Quickly bring me spirit medicine. I have to go back and persuade the master!"

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag and placed Spirit Stone and some Long-necked Porcelain Bottle on the table.

Then the old man in Confucian robes moved his mouth a few times.

I saw Green-Clothed Attendant, bowed slowly and exited the room.

A moment later, Green-Clothed Attendant entered the room again and handed a storage bag to the old man in Confucian robes.

After the transaction was completed, Cheng Buzheng walked out of the room quickly, looking very anxious.

inside the room.

Green-Clothed Attendant, said respectfully to the old man in Confucian robes,

"Boss, do you want us to send someone to follow you and find the address of Alchemist directly?"

The old man in Confucian robes shook his head and said,

"That's a taboo. So what if the address is found? Are there many such examples? You also know what the final result will be."

"Can this young man make it happen?"

Green-Clothed Attendant, said with some hesitation.

"That's better than going directly to your door!"

The old man in Confucian robes glanced at Green-Clothed Attendant and said:

"It's also possible. The little guy will give us a surprise!"

"Impossible? Who would listen to a young man?" Green-Clothed Attendant looked unbelieving.

"Sometimes, people's feelings can influence a person's choices! You'd better learn from it!"

The old man in Confucian robes said with a slight smile.

After Cheng Buzheng ran out of 'Hundred Treasures Pavilion', he turned around, changing his face and body shape from time to time. After confirming many times that no one was following him, he started the next action.

Then he went in and out of major stores, selling elixirs in batches and in small quantities, and at the same time purchased a small amount of spirit medicine needed for Qi Gathering Pill.

Three hours later, he purchased enough Qi Gathering Pill of spirit medicine, but still could not find the spirit medicine he urgently needed.

"Eggs cannot be put in one basket

The same goes for buying things, life is full of routines."

The constantly changing route, seeing no one following him, he still didn't dare to be careless.

Then, Cheng Buzheng came to the street stall area, the busiest place in Fang City, and prepared to set up a stall.

Having a steady hand in everything has always been his practice philosophy.
