Chapter 188 Making Spirit Paper
"Master uncle, what kind of elixir do you want?" Zhang Hao asked respectfully.
Xu Changshou said calmly, "Spirit Gathering Pill."
When the young man heard that Xu Changshou wanted the Soul Gathering Pill, he was delighted and asked, "How many do you want?"
"I want to check the quality first and only buy it if I'm satisfied."
"Don't worry, you will be satisfied!"
The shopkeeper took out a pot of tea and said confidently as he poured the tea.
On the other side, Zhang Hao slapped his storage bag, took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table.
Xu Changshou took a sip of tea, then slowly opened the jade bottle and took a look. The quality of the pill in the jade bottle was very good, even better than the Spirit Gathering Pill sold by the sect.
This bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill must have been made by a very powerful alchemist.
"Not bad, what about the price?"
"One hundred spirit stones each, how many do you want?"
"Um……"
Xu Changshou pondered for a moment.
Now, he didn't have anything important to buy, but he had to keep some spirit stones in hand just in case.
At this time, he still had 6,150 spirit stones left. He kept 1,000 and used the rest to buy pills.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou smiled and said, "I want fifty."
"How many?"
Zhang Hao was shaking with excitement.
"Fifty!"
The shopkeeper widened his eyes.
The two looked at each other and saw the other's incredible expression.
You know, the Soul Gathering Pill is a high-end pill among the second-grade pills, and most people are reluctant to use it for cultivation.
Even if they are willing to use it, when purchasing Spirit Gathering Pills, they usually buy a few at a time, and no more than ten at most.
It was the first time they had seen someone like Xu Changshou who offered fifty pills right away.
Fifty pieces, that’s five thousand spirit stones. What a concept! They can’t earn that much money in their entire life.
"Fifty?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Hao said excitedly.
“Well, this is a spirit stone!”
Xu Changshou took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao took a look inside and saw that it was full of white spirit stones.
He did not dare to be careless and counted them carefully with his spiritual sense. There were exactly five thousand spirit stones, no more, no less.
"Spirit stones are fine, uncle-master, this is your elixir."
As Zhang Hao spoke, he took out four more jade bottles.
Xu Changshou took a look and found that the four jade bottles were all filled with Spirit Gathering Pills, and the quality was exactly the same as the first bottle.
"Uncle master, excuse me, what is your name? Which mountain are you from?" Zhang Hao asked with a bow.
Xu Changshou put away the pill and said calmly, "Why are you asking so many questions, kid?"
Zhang Hao hurriedly said, "Master, I don't have any other intentions. If you need to buy pills in the future, we can cooperate."
Xu Changshou smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "I am Xu Changshou, from Green Ink Peak."
"Lv Mofeng, it turns out to be you, Uncle Xu. I've heard a lot about you."
Zhang Hao's face was full of admiration.
Xu Changshou has become very famous recently. He is the best errand disciple in hundreds of years and an idol to countless errand disciples.
"Uncle Xu, to be honest, my grandfather was Zhang Zongchang, the head of Danxia Peak. These pills were all made by him."
"You are the grandson of Senior Brother Zhang Zongchang."
"Yes."
"No wonder!"
Xu Changshou nodded secretly. His guess was correct. Zhang Hao was indeed from Zhang Zongchang's family. However, Xu Changshou did not expect that he was Zhang Zongchang's grandson.
Originally, Zhang Hao would not reveal his identity, but since he bought a lot of pills and was a big customer, he introduced himself.
"You mean, I can come to you when I buy pills in the future?"
"No no no!"
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "The Soul Gathering Pill is not in my hands, but in the hands of my ancestor. This time, I am just selling the pill on his behalf. If you need to buy Soul Gathering Pills in the future, you should still ask him for it."
"Okay, okay. If I need anything in the future, I will go directly to Senior Brother Zhang."
"Thank you, Master Xu."
"Well, I should go now. See you later."
"Master Xu, take care."
Xu Changshou went downstairs. On the other side, Li Linhao and others had also sold all the pills and were wandering around.
Seeing Xu Changshou coming down, Li Linhao went to greet him and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Xu, is there anything else? If not, we can leave now."
"No more!" Xu Changshou smiled.
At this time, most of the valuable things in his hands were sold, and some of the talismans were also sold.
Only some worthless things were left, such as the Wuxia Sword, the Black Essence Shield, the Silver Armor, the Silk Ribbon, the Red Scale Horse and some other pseudo-magic weapons and miscellaneous items.
These things are not valuable and won’t fetch much money. There will be plenty of time to deal with them later.
"Then let's go."
"it is good!"
A group of ten people left Taiyi Building.
Everyone summoned their flying swords and prepared to leave. At this moment, Huang Xuanqi stopped in front of Xu Changshou and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm treating you tonight. We'll drink on the Taiyi Floor. You must come, no matter what."
"Okay, I'll come tonight."
"Farewell!"
"See you tonight."
The ten people dispersed and returned to their residence. Xu Changshou did not practice and waited until the evening to come to Taiyi Building for dinner again.
Huang Xuanqi arranged a dinner party in the evening, and these ten people came again, mainly to thank Xu Changshou for helping him bargain.
Everyone chatted until late at night before leaving.
The next morning, Xu Changshou took out the thousand-year-old ebony, broke it into pieces with the Qingfeng Sword, then put it into the Qingtong mortar and pounded it with a bronze pestle.
The thousand-year-old ebony was extremely hard. When Xu Changshou chopped it with the Qingfeng Sword, he had to use all his strength to barely break it into small pieces.
When pounding the thousand-year-old ebony, he encountered a problem. The thousand-year-old ebony was too hard and Xu Changshou couldn't break it at all.
So, Xu Changshou tried and cast a few spells on the green paulownia mortar. After the spells were cast, the green paulownia mortar shone brightly and the copper rust on it fell off.
Xu Changshou picked up the bronze pestle again, injected powerful magic power into it, and began to pound the broken wood. The hard ebony wood became soft and was pounded into clumps of thin threads.
The spells he cast were not random, but spells he learned from the "Jade Talisman Heart Sutra", which were spells specifically used with the spirit mortar.
Like the alchemy furnace, the spiritual mortar requires magic spells to open.
However, the method of using the spiritual mortar has been lost, so this Qingtong mortar has never been truly used.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and Xu Changshou took a look and saw that everything had turned into pieces.
The spiritual paper used for drawing talismans does not need to be too fine. It doesn't matter if it is a little rough. It just makes the paper look a little uglier, but it does not affect its use.
Then, Xu Changshou found a large bronze tripod, put the wood chips in the tripod, added water, and put it on the fire.
Soon, the water began to boil and slowly turned into a sticky pulp.
At this time, Xu Changshou cast a few more spells, and some impurities in the paper pulp floated up.
After the impurities are removed, the pulp becomes dark.
