Chapter 529 (2/2)

”Master Xiao Dan, I have a batch of medicinal materials here. They are new. They are guaranteed to be good and cheap. Do you want them?”

At this time, an old man with thief eyes came up and said to Xiao Long.

”Sorry, I have no money.” Xiao Long looked at him and shook his head.

”No money?”

The wicked old man was stunned, his eyes turned, and then said with a smile: ”it doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can borrow it. I'll lend you the medicine temporarily, give you an IOU, pay it back after making money, and promise not to suffer losses!”

Xiao long thought for a while, and immediately arched his hands and said with a smile, ”how funny!”

”Ha ha, they are all brothers. You're welcome. One life and two acquaintances!”

Then the old man took out a storage ring full of herbs and put it on the table.

Xiao Long took a look. It was really full of herbs.

”The total amount of medicinal materials is 10000 liang of silver. Write an IOU!” the old man smiled.

Xiao Long didn't think about it, so he wrote it down.

”Ha ha! Brother Xiao is really cheerful. I'll leave first. I'll ask for it when you make money in a week.” the old man picked up the IOU and walked away with a smile.

After the old man left, Xiao Long took out the herbs from the storage ring and tried to refine pills.

However, he found that as long as it was stained with fire, the medicinal materials would be automatically turned into ash and could not be refined.

”Strange, how did my alchemy retreat so quickly?”

Xiao Long became more and more confused. Such a situation seems to be more and more frequent recently. No matter how he manipulates the flame, no matter how careful he is, there will always be a failure in alchemy.

It seems that these medicinal materials can't melt. They become ash when touched with fire. Sometimes they fall apart with a little touch.

Some medicinal materials can be melted, but they can't extract liquid medicine, or the liquid medicine is too thin, like a pile of residue.

Xiao Long shook his head and didn't know what to do.

After several more attempts, Xiao Long sighed and had to give up.

”Dad, go home for dinner!” Xiaolian shouted outside.

”OK!”

Xiao Long collected the herbs and returned to the cabin with Xiaolian.

This time, Xiaolian cooked all kinds of delicious dishes and put a big table full. They were very happy.

Xiaolian didn't ask about Dan's drugstore. She vaguely knew the reason why Xiao Long was becoming more and more stupid recently. For this, she just smiled faintly. She didn't blame Xiao Long or expose him, but was stupid with him.

If someone secretly coveted her and wanted to forcibly take her away, Xiaolian had to kill her, but she did it without leakage and didn't let anyone know, including Xiao Long.

In such days, a week passed.

Xiao Long used up all the herbs, but he didn't refine a pill.

Finally, the liquid of all the medicinal materials was refined together, and finally a defective julingdan was refined, which was worth up to ten liang of silver.

Xiao Long began to doubt whether he was possessed by the devil. The level of alchemy was getting worse day by day.

That day, he went on to the pill shop.

A week ago, the old man who provided him with pills came. He also brought two young people in Taoist robes.

”Brother Xiao, have you sold the pill? Give me back the ten thousand Liang silver you owed me!” the old man said with a smile.

Xiao Long shook his head helplessly: ”sorry, I may have to continue to credit for some time.”

”Hmm? Don't you pay the debt?” the old man narrowed his eyes and the murder flashed.

Behind him, two young men with negative swords in Taoist robes took a step forward and pulled out their swords at their waist. The fierce momentum suddenly spread, and Xiao Long's counter was cut by sword Qi.

”Ningzhen realm master?” Xiao Long exclaimed, retreating several steps.
