Chapter 454: The Life-Extending Grass, Hong Ming’s Deadline Approaching
"Not much, 50,000 Pure Yuan Dan per person!"
Xu Qian slowly stretched out his palm, waving it slightly, and smiled without showing his teeth.
"What?!" Fang Rou was shocked when she heard this number, "How come there are so many!"
The last payment was not on an individual basis, but a unified payment. After one month, the total amount of Pure Yuan Pills paid was less than 10,000 Pure Yuan Pills. As a result, the amount increased five times in the blink of an eye, and that was for everyone. All increased fivefold.
Let alone whether Fang Rou can bear such a huge increase, even if she can bear it this time, she is not willing to pay.
The Pure Yuan Dan she has now may be able to support the current month's expenses, but what about next month, and the month after that?
Once she opens her mouth, it will be as difficult as going up to the sky to decline, and she cannot accept this increase.
Just looking at Xu Qian's look of convinced them, Fang Rou was angry and also thinking about how they had offended the Yuan Gang.
Xu Qian ignored Fang Rou's strange behavior and didn't even explain. Instead, he replied calmly: "This is a new rule. If you can abide by it, then abide by it. If you can't abide by it, you will have no choice but to move out of Ziyang City!"
"It wasn't that much last month, so why did it increase so much this month? You are clearly targeting us!"
Fang Rou was silent, and a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect asked sternly.
"Moreover, the fees paid by the Dragon Elephant Sect next door are still the same as before. Why did they increase five times when it was our turn?"
The Longxiang Sect had a good relationship with the Xuanyin Sect, but unfortunately, the Longxiang Sect also declined.
The two sects were both fallen from the world, so they went to the Ziyang Sect to settle down together.
Therefore, there are regular transactions on weekdays. According to the disciples of Longxiang Sect, they have not learned about the increase in fees.
Xu Qian's words were clearly aimed at them!
After learning about this, someone was very angry and told the story.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Qian heard this, instead of getting angry because his secret had been revealed, he laughed and said: "Yes, I am targeting you. Don't forget, this is the Ziyang Sect, and we are from the Yuan Gang. You are nothing but It’s an outsider!”
"How did we offend you?" Fang Rou asked in a deep voice.
There was a reason, and she didn't know why Xu Qian only targeted their Xuanyin sect.
After the Xuanyin Sect arrived at Ziyang Sect, they were kind to others and rarely caused trouble. Even if they encountered disputes, they would always give in.
What's more, Xu Qian is still a member of the Yuan Gang, and they have no chance of turning against him.
The only explanation is that Xu Qian coveted the women of his disciples. Judging from his weak body, he must have no shortage of women.
"Master Fang, I still say the same thing. If you Xuanyin Sect still wants to settle in Ziyang Sect, you must either pay enough elixirs or..." Xu Qian chuckled lightly and then sent a message to Fang Rou.
"Life-sustaining grass!" Fang Rou's heart trembled when she heard this. She finally knew Xu Qian's purpose.
The life-sustaining grass is an elixir they obtained some time ago, which has the effect of extending lifespan.
It was she who went through all the trouble to find it for Hong Ming to use to extend his life.
Ten years have passed and Hong Ming's end is approaching. Trying to extend one's life by breaking through the realm is tantamount to wishful thinking.
That's why she tried every possible means to find out about the life-sustaining grass, and later spent a huge price to get the information.
So I personally took action and snatched the life-sustaining grass.
Logically speaking, no one else should know this news except her.
After all, unlike before, all kinds of resources are occupied by demons. The price of a cheap pill in the past is now rising steadily, making it the target of everyone's robbery. This is especially true for the life-sustaining grass that can extend life.
She absolutely did not dare to leak the news, otherwise she would be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qian got the news from somewhere, so he came here today.
The so-called rent collection and price increase are just excuses by the other party. His real purpose is this life-sustaining grass!
Thinking of this, Fang Rou glanced sharply at the fellow disciples and sisters in the courtyard with sullen eyes.
Xu Qian arrived so quickly that she didn't have time to deal with the life-sustaining grass.
Hong Ming's body was weak and she needed to recover for a period of time before she could take it, so the life-sustaining grass was still on her body.
Looking around, all the sisters looked calm, and many of them looked confused.
Obviously, they may not know about the life-sustaining grass.
This is also the reason why Xu Qian only transmitted the message to Fang Rou.
"How's it going? How are you thinking about it?" Xu Qian didn't have the patience to wait, so he took the initiative to ask.
Fang Rou's mood suddenly became heavy after hearing this.
Master Hong's situation is not optimistic. If Xu Qian is given the life-extending grass, even if he can survive for a period of time, she cannot guarantee that she will find other life-extending pills during this period.
On the market, a pill that can extend life for five years has been sold at a high price of 500,000 Pure Yuan Pills. Their Xuanyin Sect does not have so many Pure Yuan Pills in the entire sect combined. can not afford.
However, it would be very dangerous to get information from other channels and then pick it by yourself. Even she could not guarantee that she would be able to pick it again.
But if Xu Qian is not given, the entire Xuanyin Sect will definitely be implicated in this matter.
At that time, once he is kicked out of Ziyang City and has nowhere to stay, Master Hong's condition will worsen, and he may not be able to support the moment he takes the life-sustaining grass.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Rou sighed softly. She was obviously stronger than Xu Qian, but it didn't matter how strong she was.
In the end, you have to compromise.
Facing the behemoth Yuan Gang, which is no less than the Ziyang Sect, the strength of the magical power realm is simply not enough.
She was unable to resist this injustice, and she did not dare to resist.
"I can give you the life-sustaining grass." Fang Rou had to accept the reality, sent a message to Xu Qian, and set out her own conditions, "But if I give you the life-sustaining grass, you can't charge us for it within a year." Any fees!”
The price of Life-Sustaining Grass in the market far exceeds 500,000 Pure Yuan Dan. This price, based on Xu Qian’s price of 50,000 Pure Yuan Dan per person, may only last for two or three months, but according to the original price, it is enough to support One year.
When Xu Qian saw Fang Rou agreeing, a smile appeared on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said: "One year is not enough. If you add another hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills, I will agree!"
Anyway, he will stay in the nearby streets for a few months at most, and then the place will no longer be under his control.
Even if they agree to Fang Rou, can they still seek revenge on themselves afterwards?
Fang Rou looked at Xu Qian deeply, nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to make a written statement!"
"What?" Xu Qian raised his eyebrows, showing displeasure, as if he was being seen through and annoyed.
Fang Rou chuckled softly: "After all, my words are unfounded, so please forgive me."
Xu Qian's expression changed, and he finally nodded: "Okay!"
This time, he stopped playing tricks. He knew that Fang Rou was not simple and there was no need to play tricks.
After the signature was signed, Fang Rou handed the life-sustaining grass to Xu Qian, and Xu Qian left with the life-sustaining grass after checking it.
"Senior sister, what happened?" A fellow disciple came up and asked curiously.
They only saw Fang Rou making a deal with Xu Qian, but they didn't know what the deal was.
And there was something weird about this incident, as if Xu Qian was deliberately targeting them.
Fang Rou shook her head: "Nothing."
After saying that, she turned and left, heading to the courtyard where Hong Ming was.
"Cough cough cough!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Hong Ming coughing non-stop.
"Fang Rou, you are back."
Today, Hong Ming has white hair, pale face, and thin body. He is sitting in a wheelchair and can still vaguely recognize Fang Rou.
Waiting next to him is Tan Xue's son Hong Chen, who looks like a middle-aged man.
Seeing Fang Rou, Hong Chen nodded towards her.
Fang Rou came to Hong Ming and said softly: "Master, stretch out your hand and let me feel your pulse."
This is something Fang Rou has to do for Hong Ming every day, in order to prevent Hong Ming's health from deteriorating.
Hong Ming obediently stretched out his hand, looked at Fang Rou, whose eyebrows were still fixed, and sighed: "Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven. I have lived for most of my life, witnessed the rise and fall of the Daqian Dynasty, and witnessed many things that ordinary people cannot. The scenery is enough, you don’t have to worry about me.”
"Master, it is the disciple's duty to work hard for the master. Master, don't just say depressing words. Aren't you always thinking about Junior Brother Su? If you don't persevere, you will probably blame me when Junior Brother Su comes back."
Fang Rou ignored Hong Ming's frustration and instead felt relieved.
Sure enough, when Su Chen was mentioned, Hong Ming's cloudy eyes burst into color.
"Alas, I don't know where Su Chen has been all these years!" Hong Ming sighed.
Fang Rou was silent.
After talking to Hong Ming for a while, she left the yard.
'Master's body has almost improved with the nourishment during this period. In about ten days and a half, my life will be extended. But right now, I don't have any life-extending herbs unless I find other life-extending herbs within this half month. Pill. ’
Fang Rou's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of urgency in her heart.
It is too difficult to find a life-extending medicine within half a month.
Finding life-extending medicines such as life-extending grass requires information channels, and purchasing life-extending elixirs requires a large amount of pure Yuan Dan.
Neither the former nor the latter can be accomplished by her alone.
But it's not impossible.
Fang Rou came to the street alone, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to a remote street.
There is a drug store in the middle of the street. The door is open, but there are not many customers.
"Master Fang." When he walked into the medicine shop, the pharmacists in the medicine shop saw this and hurriedly came to greet him.
Fang Rou nodded slightly and asked, "Is sister Qingyou here?"
"Here you are, Master Fang. The shopkeeper is on the second floor."
The medicine disciple was already familiar with Fang Rou, so he reminded her. Fang Rou thanked her and went upstairs immediately.
The sound of footsteps outside Zhuqingyou's door knew that Fang Rou was coming, so she stood up and prepared to greet her.
With a creak, the door opened, and Fang Rou walked in very familiarly.
"Sister Fang Rou, do you have something important to do with me in such a hurry?" Zhu Qingyou, who originally wanted to tease Fang Rou, changed the topic when she saw Fang Rou's frown, pulled Fang Rou to sit down, and asked with concern.
Fang Rou informed Zhu Qingyou about what happened previously.
"Xu Qian took away your life-sustaining grass, how did they know?"
Zhu Qingyou asked in confusion. She had only told Fang Rou about this matter and never told anyone else. Logically speaking, no one should know.
Fang Rou shook her head, she didn't know either.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter, Fang Rou then asked: "Sister, do you want other life-extending medicinal materials?"
Zhu Qingyou smiled bitterly.
Now wherever there are other life-extending medicinal materials, they have basically been picked by other warriors.
Unless you run out of the Ancient Mountains, or dive deeper into the Ancient Mountains.
But the former has to face the devil, and the latter has to face the demon.
Needless to say, the devil is so terrifying that Fang Rou cannot handle it.
As for the demons, the demons in the depths of the Ancient Mountains were a place where even Wu Jixian did not dare to venture into. Going deep inside was tantamount to seeking death.
"Sister, if it doesn't work, I'll help you find out about buying the longevity pill."
It's impossible to find the longevity grass, so you can only buy it.
"That's the only way." Fang Rou also knew the difficulty of the matter, so she had to say it.
Although the longevity pill is expensive, she has to buy it anyway.
"By the way, a group of alchemists from Tiandan City have recently settled in Ziyang City. Maybe they have the longevity pill. Wait a minute, I'll go and ask for you." Zhu Qingyou suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stood up, said something to Fang Rou in a hurry, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Fang Rou had to sit down and wait for news.
Not long after, Zhu Qingyou returned, her face full of joy: "Sister Fang Rou, I found out."
"Really?"
Fang Rou was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Qingyou's hand and asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
Zhu Qingyou laughed and pulled Fang Rou inside, whispering: "These days, the alchemists in Dan City are indeed wealthy, and many alchemists have longevity pills on them. It's just that we know this, and so do others, so as soon as they enter the city, a large number of people will go to them, so we must hurry, otherwise the longevity pills will be taken away by others."
"I found out that there is an alchemist named Zhao Shen, who may have the longevity pill you need. Let's go find him now."
Zhu Qingyou said, noticing the hesitation on Fang Rou's face, so she added: "Don't worry about the money."
"Okay!" Fang Rou knew that Zhu Qingyou himself was not rich, but he was willing to do this for her. Hesitation would only waste opportunities.
What she had to do now was not to disappoint the other party, and as for this favor, she would just remember it in her heart.
The two of them went out together and went to Zhao Shen's address according to the address Zhu Qingyou had inquired about.
But as soon as they arrived at the door, they found that there was an endless stream of visitors, and everyone was holding gifts in their hands.
This is not the point. The point is that these forces, many of which are big forces in Ziyang City.
Although not as good as the Yuan Gang, they are also above the middle class, not comparable to the Xuanyin Sect.
So many people directly blocked the idea of the two people going in, after all, the other party may not choose to sell them pills.
Moreover, the two of them were empty-handed, and they were afraid that they would not even be able to step into the threshold.
"Go to another one and have a look!"
Zhu Qingyou had inquired about more than this news, there were other alchemists.
This one was not good, and the two of them rushed to the next one without stopping.
But the situation was still the same.
They had been looking at seven or eight houses, but they were all overcrowded, and it was not their turn at all.
"Let's go to the last one, but this one can only try their luck. The level of the alchemist in his house is too low, and he may not be able to refine the longevity pill."
Zhu Qingyou did not give up and made a suggestion.
"This alchemist is called Miao Qian, and he is not far down this street. Let's go." (End of this chapter)
