Chapter 36 Rusty Pill
Li Banfeng held a candle and searched around for the bodies of the man with gold-rimmed glasses and Tiger Kozi.
He did not find the bodies, but only found some sundries in the corner.
He found the tattered clothes of the two people. Judging from the degree of damage, these clothes were torn off from the two people by some external force.
The items in the clothes were still there, and Li Banfeng found the wallets of the two people.
The cloth bag containing the snake lotus was also there, and the lotus inside was also intact.
Li Banfeng also found the pair of gold-rimmed glasses next to the copper lotus, and there was a wooden glasses case next to the glasses, and an iron cigarette case next to the glasses case.
But one thing was missing, the folding fan of the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
Li Banfeng was very interested in his folding fan with a strange fragrance. The material of the folding fan was very special, and the workmanship was also very special. The fan could be used as an iron rod when it was folded, and it could be used as a knife or a shield when it was unfolded.
Where did the fan go?
Was it eaten by the copper lotus?
Where is the body?
Was it also eaten by the copper lotus?
It ate two corpses and took away the weapon of the gold-rimmed glasses.
What does the copper lotus need the weapon for?
Could it be that this lotus can also fight with weapons?
Also, the copper lotus ate the snake-spotted chrysanthemum before and refined the snake-spotted elixir.
Now that it has swallowed the corpse and the weapon, why didn't it touch the snake-spotted chrysanthemum of the gold-rimmed glasses and the tiger kid?
Could it be that it had meat to eat and didn't want to eat vegetarian food, and then it ate a fan to pick its teeth?
This idea is quite reasonable.
Then what are the three lotus seeds?
Did it also refine the gold-rimmed glasses and the tiger kid into elixir?
Li Banfeng carefully peeled the three lotus seeds from the seven-hole lotus heart, and the lotus closed immediately.
The two lotus seeds swelled in the palm of his hand. After about ten seconds, the two lotus seeds burst and each exploded a red round bead.
The size of these two round beads is slightly larger than the snake-spotted elixir, the color is pure, and it looks very crystal clear under the candlelight.
What kind of elixir is this?
While thinking, the third lotus seed also exploded, and there was only a round bead inside, which was rusty.
Not only was the color like rust, but the touch was also like rust. There was a disgusting stagnation in the hand.
Not only was there a stagnation, but there was also a tingling sensation. Li Banfeng threw the rust pill aside and found a red mark on the palm of his hand, and there was a little numbness between the tingling.
Poisoned?
Li Banfeng didn't know how to deal with it. Suddenly, the red mark cracked and some blood flowed out.
After the blood flowed, the tingling and numbness disappeared.
Zhai Xiu has a strong self-healing ability in the house. The bleeding just now should be the process of active detoxification.
But Li Banfeng didn't expect that it was just a brief contact, and the rusty round bead would cause such great harm to himself.
If the contact time is longer, or even the rusty round bead is eaten directly, is there still hope?
Even if Zhai Xiu is in his own house, I'm afraid he can't be saved.
In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, should I do an experiment myself?
Thinking of this, Li Banfeng suddenly sneered and said to himself: "Do you think I'm crazy?"
Li Banfeng emptied the wallets of Jinsi Yanjing and Hugaozi, put the tattered clothes on the ground on his hands, put the two pills into the two wallets respectively, squatted on the ground and began to study the characteristics of the copper lotus.
The red round beads and the rusty round beads are tentatively called red pills and rusty pills.
The red pill should come from the bodies of Jinsi Yanjing and Hugaozi.
The rusty pill should come from the disappeared folding fan.
The copper lotus turned them all into pills. Li Banfeng couldn't understand the specific principle. What are the uses of these two pills, Li Banfeng has no way of knowing for the time being.
The question that Li Banfeng is most concerned about now is, according to what principle does the copper lotus choose the materials for alchemy?
I chose snake spot chrysanthemum before, why am I not interested in it now?
Will I be interested in me someday and turn me into a pill directly?
Li Banfeng came close to the copper lotus with the bag of snake spot chrysanthemum, and the lotus had no reaction.
Why did the snake chrysanthemum I picked up before turn into snake chrysanthemum?
Think about what was different when I came back last night?
While thinking, Li Banfeng's head began to feel dizzy again.
This is a normal reaction after inhaling poisonous fog. After the dizziness, I still want to vomit.
Vomit!
Li Banfeng remembered one thing. The first thing he did when he returned to Suishenju was to vomit. Because he couldn't find a suitable place, he vomited directly into the cloth bag containing flowers.
Before that, Li Banfeng poured out the snake chrysanthemum in the cloth bag directly.
Could it be that the copper lotus has no sense of snake chrysanthemum through a cloth bag?
Li Banfeng opened the cloth bag and poured more than 40 snake chrysanthemums picked by Jinsi Yanjing near the copper lotus.
The moment the snake chrysanthemum fell to the ground, the petals of the copper lotus began to tremble.
Hiss~hiss~
The sound of metal friction sounded, and the seven petals of the lotus unfolded one by one.
Li Banfeng was once again impressed by this exquisite machine. He couldn't understand which was more advanced between modern civilization and these weird technologies.
After the seven petals unfolded, Li Banfeng clearly saw the seven-hole lotus heart.
Li Banfeng felt that the air in his room was flowing in an abnormal direction.
The air was spinning, forming a vortex, and the center of the vortex was the seven-hole lotus heart.
More than 40 snake chrysanthemums on the ground gradually left the ground with the vortex, flying up and down in the room.
This scene must have happened last night, but I slept too deeply and didn't notice it!
Li Banfeng instinctively moved two steps away from the copper lotus, fearing that he would be sucked into the lotus heart.
A total of 43 snake chrysanthemums were sucked into the lotus, and the petals closed again.
If you really want to be directly exposed to the copper lotus's field of vision, the copper lotus will be sensitive.
Field of vision?
This word seems a bit inappropriate. Can the copper lotus see it?
While thinking, Li Banfeng suddenly heard a crisp sound. He held the candle and looked down for a long time. The rust pill actually fell to the ground.
Didn't I put it in my wallet?
Li Banfeng picked up the wallet and looked at it. There was a hole under the leather wallet, and the hole was covered with blue-black burn marks.
Is it corroded?
The rust pill actually has the ability to corrode?
What will happen if you eat the rust pill?
Not to mention the home cultivator, even the poison cultivator is likely to be unable to bear it!
Li Banfeng became more and more curious!
He put the rag on the ground as a pad and carefully put the rust pill into the iron cigarette box.
Can the iron box withstand corrosion?
Can't stand it!
The corrosion effect is more obvious than that of a wallet.
The iron cigarette box began to rust quickly when it came into contact with the rust pill. When Li Banfeng took out the rust pill, the cigarette box was already covered with rust and its original appearance could not be seen.
If the iron box doesn't work, will the wooden box work?
Li Banfeng put the rust pill into the glasses case and observed it for a while. He found that the rust pill did not corrode the wood, so he put the glasses case in the corner of the room with confidence.
Li Banfeng waited silently beside the copper lotus. After an estimated half an hour, the lotus petals opened again, and there was an extra lotus seed inside.
Li Banfeng held the lotus seed in his hand, and the lotus seed that left the lotus heart expanded rapidly.
Bang! After a muffled sound, the black and white pill exploded.
This is the snake spot pill!
Li Banfeng counted it and found a total of ten pills.
He had previously used thirty-seven plants to refine eight pills. According to this calculation, the ratio of copper lotus to refine pills is four and a half plants to refine one pill, which is more sophisticated than the methods of major pharmacies.
This time, the consumption of snake chrysanthemums was less and the delivery rate was higher, which should be related to the fact that the snake chrysanthemums picked by Jinsi Glasses were relatively large.
Li Banfeng poured out all the snake chrysanthemums, including those of Qin Xiaopang, Youtao, Caoye, Laoyanpao, Hulaozi, Guangtou and his followers...
A total of 332 flowers were collected by Tonglianhua in the lotus heart.
It took more than half an hour, and the petals bloomed again. This time there were three lotus seeds in the lotus heart.
Li Banfeng peeled off the lotus seeds and waited quietly for the lotus seeds to explode one by one.
A few minutes later, Li Banfeng picked up the lotus seeds that exploded all over the ground, and harvested a total of 76 snake chrysanthemums.
Counting the 18 snake chrysanthemums that he and Jinsi Glasses had refined before, the total was 94.
Money!
This is a pile of money!
Li Banfeng bought two cloth bags at the grocery store, but he actually only used one of them to hold the pills, and the other one was filled with vomit.
He put the pills into the remaining clean cloth bag, and picked up the inheritance of Jinsi Glasses and Hugaozi.
Jinsi Glasses had 2,613 yuan in cash, and Hugaozi had 3,528.5 yuan.
Li Banfeng didn't care about these small amounts of money now. He put them away out of respect for the two dead.
After all, they had known each other for a while and had become partners, so their belongings must be kept well!
After resting for more than two hours in Suishenju, Li Banfeng left Kuwu Mountain and walked to the gathering place of various medicine stores.
The cultivators carrying the snake chrysanthemums were still arguing with the medicine stores. They claimed that they would not sell them, but they did not go far.
If they didn't sell them to the medicine stores, who else could they sell them to?
They only hope to get as much money as possible through such struggle, just like a middle-aged cultivator said: "Even if they give thirty, twenty-five is too bullying."
Li Banfeng didn't want to see them entangled, Xiaopang and the others were waiting for him to come back in a secluded place.
Li Banfeng was gone for nearly three hours, which made Xiaopang very anxious!
"I shouldn't have let him go alone! There are so many mountains and plains, where can I find the old lady! He also spent a night in the mountains, isn't this going to kill him!"
Xiaopang walked back and forth, rubbing his hands back and forth.
Cao Ye lowered his head and said: "If Brother Baisha can really exchange for pills, I only want half..."
Youtao said to himself: "Old lady, what kind of old lady is she, is she lucky..."
When they saw Li Banfeng, they were very happy. Li Banfeng didn't want to listen to their thanks, nor did he have time to be polite with them. He directly divided the pills.
"Youtao, you have thirty-eight flowers, and you exchanged them for four pills."
Youtao was surprised: "Aren't there two less?"
Li Banfeng said: "I'll make up for it for you, so it's rounded up."
Youtao looked at Li Banfeng, feeling both grateful and guilty.
Li Banfeng took out six more pills: "Caoye, you have sixty-one, the number is too far apart, I can't give you a subsidy, I can only round it off."
Caoye was very happy and quickly checked the authenticity of the pills.
Next was Xiaopang.
It was not easy to calculate his account. Xiaopang originally had twenty snake chrysanthemums, which could be exchanged for two pills.
After dividing the snake chrysanthemums of Lao Yanpao and the bald man's gang equally, Xiaopang had eighty-four.
Totaling one hundred and four, and counting Xiaopang's care along the way, Li Banfeng gave him eleven pills.
Xiaopang held the pills, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
"One pill is ten thousand, let's go, let's go sell the pills now!"
Cao Ye stopped Xiao Pang and said, "Brother Pang, where do you want to sell it?"
"Sell it to the pharmacy, isn't it ready-made?"
Cao Ye shook his head and said, "It can't be sold to the pharmacy. The origin of this pill is unclear."
Xiao Pang frowned and said, "Why can't the origin be explained? This is not, this is, that..."
The matter is indeed unclear. Even if it is explained, no one will believe it.
Cao Ye said, "I have been an apprentice in a pharmacy. The pharmacy will not accept pills whose origins cannot be explained. If they ask questions, it will cause us trouble."
Sure enough, it can't be sold to the pharmacy.
Li Banfeng did not say anything and watched everyone's plan quietly.
Xiaopang was very disappointed when he heard this: "What should I do? I still lost money after exchanging the elixir."
Youtao smiled and said: "How can I lose money? There are many people who want the elixir, and they are all rich people. Even 10,000 yuan may not be enough to buy it.
You made his money, and he still has to remember your kindness. Such a good business is hard to dream of."
Li Banfeng's brows were relieved. There is still a way.
It's just that this way is not suitable for me.
Youtao means to sell it to people who want to buy it through private channels.
Li Banfeng is unfamiliar with the people and the place here, and can't find a suitable buyer. See if Xiaopang has a channel to ship the goods.
The fat man scratched his head: "But this can't be done overnight."
Youtao was surprised and said: "Why are you in a hurry? The elixir won't go bad overnight!"
"That's what I said..."
Youtao didn't want to argue with Xiaopang, turned around and clasped his fists towards Li Banfeng and said: "I owe you this elixir, and I also owe you my life.
If you go to Waigou Mazhu Village in the future, ask for You Xuetao, and you will definitely find me. If you need me, just ask, I won't blink an eye even if I go through mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
You Xuetao, Youtao, her nickname is somewhat similar to her name.
She gave her address. If Xiaopang couldn't find a way to ship the goods, it wouldn't be too late to find Youtao then.
Cao Ye bowed to Li Banfeng: "Brother Baisha, my name is Xue Yingying. You can find me by asking for the old Xue family in Sanpu Village, Waigou."
Youtao took out two pills and said: "We two sisters can't repay this favor for the time being. Please accept these pills as a token of my appreciation."
Cao Ye also took out two pills: "My younger sister also has a token of appreciation."
Li Banfeng waved his hand and didn't take their pills.
The two women thanked him profusely, but if they knew that Li Banfeng still had 65 pills in his hand, I wonder how they would feel.
Youtao looked at Li Banfeng and really had some ideas.
Huan Xiu's ideas were very straightforward.
If you can meet a man like him, you may not look worse than Bian.
Cao Ye's ideas were more complicated.
Although he didn't see the scene clearly at that time, the bald man and his gang did die at the hands of him and the fat man.
This is a man who can do great things!
With his care, the medicine store can really be opened!
The two women said goodbye one after another, and Li Banfeng stood there, thinking about the trip back to Yuezhou.
Logically speaking, with so many pills, there must be no shortage of money.
But the pills are not sold, so they cannot be considered money.
How can I sell the pills quickly?
Li Banfeng looked at Xiaopang, who seemed to be in a hurry for money.
But after sitting in silence for such a long time, Xiaopang, who was anxious just now, slowly calmed down.
He felt that Youtao made sense: "Don't worry about selling pills. That woman is right. This is a good thing.
Not only can I sell it at a good price, but I can also make many good friends with this pill, so there is no need to worry about this matter!"
You are not anxious?
That won't work!
"I am anxious!" Li Banfeng sat next to Xiaopang, "I am in a hurry to use the money."
Although Li Banfeng also collected a lot of money from the man with gold-rimmed glasses, it seems that this pill is of no use when brought back to Yuezhou.
Xiaopang was very curious: "What's the urgent need for money? I'll lend you some first?"
Li Banfeng waved his hand and said: "I don't want to borrow money, I just want to sell the pills as soon as possible."
"Sell as soon as possible..." Qin Xiaopang could understand Li Banfeng's thoughts. Li Banfeng came from another state and was unfamiliar with Yaowanggou. He didn't know many ordinary people, let alone making friends with rich people.
Thinking for a moment, Xiaopang pinched his chin and said: "There is such a place that can help you sell the pills as soon as possible, but the price needs a discount."
Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: "How much discount?"
