Chapter 100 Keeping the Secret
Although I don't know what happened to Jiang Yatou, but judging from Jiang Chun's expression, it should be nothing serious.
Although that girl is a talker, she is very smart and will never offend anyone she cannot afford to offend.
Lin Bai guessed that the girl usually only wandered around her family's cave property, so she probably got into trouble here.
She usually works as a pimp and sells aphrodisiacs, so she must have harmed many people in private, and this must have happened.
I just asked people about it, but no one knew about it. Either others didn't know, or they were silenced by the Jiang family.
Lin Bai thought about it and looked at Jiang Chun, then sighed and said, "Is that true?"
"You already know this?" Jiang Chun's face turned red with embarrassment, then he bowed and said, "Fellow Taoist, please don't publicize it, otherwise the reputation of the Jiang family's golden elixir for generations will be ruined."
< br>
So serious? Lin Bai immediately made a look of understanding, nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist, please rest assured, I have always been strict with my words."
"Thank you." Jiang Chun sighed, then took out a bottle of elixir and said: "This is a small gift, but it is not respectful, so please accept it, fellow Taoist."
This is hush money.
Lin Bai accepted it calmly, but he became more and more curious.
Saying goodbye to Jiang Chun, he returned to the cave, opened the elixir bottle, and after a brief smell, he knew it was a Gujing Pill.
The Jiang family has really spent a lot of money. How much trouble has that girl caused? What happened with Tiger Wolf Maru? Or did the pimp thing happen?
"I really want to make fun of her in front of her face!"
After Lin Bai finished laughing, he was about to close his eyes and practice, when he saw a subtle spiritual power coming from outside.
Opening the door of the cave, there stood a bald man in his thirties, wearing a Taoist robe and straw sandals.
This man's name is Liu Dabao. His name does not sound like a practitioner, but he is actually a late-stage Qi practitioner. He also lives in Dihuodong Mansion. He is also an alchemist and is Lin Bai's neighbor.
Most of the people who rented houses in Dihuodong Mansion were in the late stages of Qi training and foundation building. Lin Bai used to be kind to others and bowed to everyone he saw, so he was quite popular among them. Although he couldn't talk to the foundation-building monk, he got to know several of his qi-training neighbors.
But they were just acquaintances, occasionally chatting with each other, nothing serious.
"Brother Liu Dao." Lin Bai saluted, thinking to himself, what is this man doing here? Are you here to find out about Girl Jiang?
Liu Dabao nodded with a smile and said: "Most qi-training monks do not retreat. If they retreat, it only lasts for three to five days. I saw you retreating for half a month. This is not common. But are you thinking about the method of alchemy?"
"You can't hide it from Taoist brother." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"I came here the same way as you." Liu Dabao laughed and asked: "What kind of elixir are you making now?"
"I am now familiar with the refining method of Qi Condensing Pill, which makes Brother Tao laugh." Lin Bai replied.
Liu Dabao nodded slightly and said: "If you only refine the Qi Condensing Pill, you may not be comfortable living in this cave."
"Alas." Lin Bai sighed, looking poor, and said, "This is the only way to start. Learn something slowly first, so that you can feel more relaxed in the future."
Liu Dabao smiled and said: "The pill is extremely profitable, and life will definitely get better and better. We are both casual cultivators, so we should help each other. If you have any problems refining the Qi Condensing Pill, you can come and ask. Me.”
"Brother Liu Dao is kind and righteous!" Lin Bai immediately bowed, thinking, "Why am I so pale?"
"It's just a trivial matter. However, alchemy cannot be learned in a short period of time. It requires endurance and spirit stones to burn." Liu Dabao lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Taoist Yun, do you want to do something else?" Making a living? You can’t stay in the cave every day while refining alchemy. It’s also good to go out from time to time.”
You know, how can these individual cultivators show their kindness for no reason? Of course, there are casual cultivators with good personalities, but they are very few.
What else is there to do to make a living? It’s most likely a black job that doesn’t get promoted! Lin Bai knew himself very clearly, and it was not his turn to make money!
Moreover, Liu Dabao is too anxious. The jade test still needs three days to complete. You don't even try to test my character and character, and you want to recruit me directly? How short of manpower do you have?
Lin Bai immediately made a judgment that Liu Dabao was not doing things strictly and carefully. Even if his intentions are good, he must not interfere with it, otherwise if he checks for water leakage in the cave in the future, he may be implicated!
"Brother Liu Dao," Lin Bai sighed and said, "I am now focused on refining elixirs, and I really have no intention of doing anything else. How about you ask someone else?"
Lin Bai didn't even want to know what his business was!
Liu Dabao was stunned for a moment, then looked quite disappointed, and asked: "Don't you want to learn other elixirs? The Qi Condensation Pill is only a little bit profitable, and the Jingjing Pill can earn spiritual stones."
"Brother Dao, you still know how much I weigh. Only the Qi Condensing Pill can be refined, but I don't dare to think about the Jing Jing Pill." Lin Bai said. "That...that's okay." Liu Dabao sighed, muttering something, turned around and left.
Didn't you say a word to let me keep it a secret? Lin Bai only felt a headache.
"That's right!" Liu Dabao turned around and whispered: "Please, fellow Taoist Yun, don't spread the word and keep it a secret for me." As he spoke, he handed over a bottle of pills.
"That's natural. I've been strict with my mouth since I was a child." Lin Bai took the elixir and bowed again, "Besides, I don't even know what Brother Liu Dao did."
Liu Dabao nodded, said no more, turned and left.
Lin Bai looked at the elixir in his hand and opened it. It was Qi Condensing Pill.
Today Jiang Chun asked me to keep a secret, Liu Dabao asked me to keep a secret, but is there anyone else who asks me to keep a secret?
Just as Lin Bai was about to close the cave door, another person came.
"Fellow Taoist Yun." It was Huang Ruhua.
She has broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, but she doesn't appear to be energetic at all, instead she looks depressed.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, please come in for tea." Lin Bai was polite, thinking that he might have encountered another problem.
After entering the cave, the two sat down on both sides of the low table.
"Fellow Daoist Yun has lived a very poor life. There are stains on the futon, so I won't even bother to replace it." Huang Ruhua said with a smile.
"...Change next time." Lin Bai smiled awkwardly, thinking that he really had to change, otherwise she would be embarrassed if Sister Pei came again, and she would have to work hard to coax her.
Huang Ruhua looked at the tea poured by Lin Bai, and then sighed quietly.
Lin Bai was very interested and asked: "Why did Huang Daoyou sigh?"
Huang Ruhua shook her head slightly and said: "We wanted to go again this time, but there were very few qi-training monks who knew the formation, and we couldn't find the right person for a while. That's why we haven't been able to set off."
This is a problem. Rogue cultivators practice less on skills and more on killing. Formation masters also look at talent, they need to practice their skills all the time, and they also need to have inheritance, otherwise it will be useless even if they have talent.
Therefore, formation masters are even rarer than alchemy masters, and most of them are in sect families. Very few people among casual cultivators learn this.
Moreover, Huang Ruhua and the three of them are practicing Qi, so they naturally need to find Qi training monks. If they find a foundation-building formation master, they will be turning the tables, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
As for finding the formation masters in the sect, the risk is even greater. Firstly, people may not be willing to come, and secondly, if something happens, there are tricks.
Lin Bai also wanted to learn the formation, but he had no way, not even anyone to guide him. I am too embarrassed to mention it to the Zhu family. If they don't want to, I'm afraid they will feel that I am greedy for no reason and have a grudge in vain.
Of course, if you marry with the Zhu family, these will not be a problem. However, Lin Bai was somewhat ambitious after all. Although he was grateful, he could not let down Sister Pei.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, if you know the formation master, or if you know a little bit about the secrets of the formation, I would like to introduce him to you." Huang Ruhua said the purpose of coming here today.
"This is natural." Lin Bai readily agreed.
"Please also ask fellow Taoist Yun to keep the secret." Huang Ruhua bowed again.
"I've been strict with my mouth since I was little." This was the third time Lin Bai said this today.
The two chatted for a while. Lin Bai asked about Girl Jiang, but Huang Ruhua didn't know.
