Chapter 2422 The Pavilion Touches Porcelain
When the fat shopkeeper saw that the alchemist was unwilling to be an alchemist, he naturally would not go there stupidly, but before leaving, he asked.
"Callant, haven't you asked me for your honorary name yet?"
He knew that the other party was a student and must have never entered this branch before and wanted to know the other party's name. Because there are only so many alchemists with a high status in the spiritual world. Although he only knew a small part of them, he had heard most of them.
"My surname is Liu."
Hou Xiaowu directly revealed his surname. Anyway, the surname Liu is very common. How could the famous alchemist named Liu have more than a dozen or twenty people? Let the fat shopkeeper dig out his mind to guess.
Moreover, in order not to let the other party continue to ask questions, Hou Xiaowu frowned, turned his head and looked straight at the other party impatiently urged: "I want to see the holy weapon flying magic weapon in your store earlier, don't be too slow."
The fat shopkeeper was choked and thought to himself that he had been slowing down, but he would not show any dissatisfaction. He smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment."
Then he walked in through a small door behind the counter and went to get the shadow stone.
Here in the hall, someone will receive the alchemist, so there is no need to worry that their service attitude in the division will cause dissatisfaction among the guests.
Hou Xiaowu secretly said that it was difficult to maintain his arrogant look at this moment, and he was extremely uncomfortable. He felt that he was still comfortable when he was the one who looked like he was. However, he saw a guest who was about to sit next to him and ask about something from another shopkeeper behind the counter. After seeing his outfit, the guest consciously bowed to him.
"Haha, not bad."
Hou Xiaowu felt the pride brought by his high status again, and felt that it would be good to continue acting.
So Hou Xiaowu untied the backpack on his back, took out a very delicate golden cage, and placed it on the jade counter at the counter.
Inside the golden cage, there are two little birds, thrushes, which are brightly colored and are still jumping around in the cage.
Because the counter in the lobby is in an arc shape, it looks a bit like the bar counter in a bar. There are nearly ten shopkeepers standing behind the counter, and there are more than a dozen chairs that are comfortable for customers to sit in front of the counter. There are not many customers at this moment, and there are only three customers except myself. However, the eight shopkeepers behind the counter are all there, so naturally some shopkeepers saw Hou Xiaowu take out a bird cage and thought, could this person be walking the thrush while waiting for shopkeeper Tong?
If an ordinary customer does this, they will consider asking the customer not to do this, or change the place, such as going to the round table in the center of the hall for guests to sit in, but this person is obviously not low, and Zhangguan Tong is serving him happily. Moreover, this person has shown a top-quality spirit stone, which is a proof of his high status, and they can only turn a blind eye.
Fortunately, the guest officer did not open the cage and released the two thrushes.
What made them feel a little strange was that the golden cage was very exquisite and it was expensive at first glance. After the other party shook the golden cage, the moonlight picture of the lotus pond composed of the pattern on the golden line was like a living. The lake surface rippled slightly, the moonlight swayed gently on the water surface, and the lotus leaves were connected one after another. In the mist of the moon, a fairy road leading to the hazy fairy world seemed to be opened up. It was really beautiful, and they all felt amazing.
Therefore, owning this golden cage is also a proof of its owner's identity. Such a delicate golden cage has a little bit of incongruity, because the two thrushes inside are obviously ordinary breeds.
Is this the special preference of monks with high status, using the best golden cage to raise the most ordinary birds?
If they were raising birds and chose such an exquisite golden cage as the bird cage, they would have to raise one or two wealthy birds so that the birds and cages could be perfectly matched.
As a result, the next moment, they saw a scene that made them all stunned.
The guest took out two small porcelain bottles from the storage ring, one white and one black. From the black porcelain bottle, he pulled out two black small pills with magic power. The pills flew into the golden cage under the continued pulling of magic power and slung into the golden cage and hang in front of the two thrushes.
Chirp, chirp.
The two thrushes seemed to smell a good smell and thought it was the best food. They opened their mouths and pecked them quickly, and swallowed them straight into their stomachs.
In just one second.
The two thrushes didn't even notice the screams. Their bodies twitched quickly, their feet softened, and they fell into the golden cage without moving.
Dead?
The shopkeepers and several customers nearby were stunned when they saw this scene.
This was obviously feeding poisonous pills to the thrush, and it was very toxic. The thrush fell to death within one second and only twitched. The man took out the bird cage. Originally, they thought the other party was going to walk the bird, but they didn't expect to directly poison the two thrushes.
Is this another bad taste for people with status?
Some of them could see that this person should be an alchemist. After all, there was a special elixir fragrance on his clothes and his hands often looked like he was practicing alchemy. So after being stunned, these people quickly stared at the small white porcelain bottle next to the black porcelain bottle.
The other party is probably trying to end the life of the thrush with poison pills, but perhaps the thrush has a last breath, and the things in the white porcelain bottle can try to save the thrush.
It is natural for the alchemist to do this. The elixirs refined must be used for monks. The elixirs used by monks only have a few uses, such as healing wounds, restoring qi, blood and magic power, poisoning enemies, etc. The alchemist probably sat there and had nothing to do. When waiting for Manager Tong to come back, test the new elixirs developed first.
They know more or less about alchemists. Many alchemists have strange personalities and don’t care about other people’s opinions and will not get close to others. Therefore, this alchemist directly tested new pills on the counter. In the eyes of others, it was normal for the alchemist to be sucked in his mind, but in the eyes of the alchemist himself, it was normal.
A shopkeeper quickly glanced at the shopkeeper who was higher in the next place, and his eyes were asking for meaning, but the latter immediately shook his head, indicating that there was no need to make a sound to obstruct him.
The alchemist just feeds the thrush in his golden cage with pills, which does not affect others. There is no need to stop it. If this annoys the other party and causes the scout Pavilion to lose a business, it will be necessary
It's not worth the loss.
Hou Xiaowu seemed to have no one staring at this side. He slowly closed the cover of the black porcelain bottle, and then opened the cover of the white porcelain bottle.
In order not to reveal the truth, he really didn't go to see the shopkeeper behind the counter. He knew that if he really made a person who was unacceptable to the branch hall, these shopkeepers would naturally speak out. Since he did not remind him, his actions would continue to be maintained.
Hou Xiaowu only put some of his attention behind him and used his light to glimpse the young woman who had received him before and continued to stand in the hall. After all, it was still early at this moment, and there were not many guests coming in, so the young woman could take a break.
He then pressed a mechanism button on the golden cage with his hand, and waved to the woman with his other hand. Seeing that the woman noticed this, he shouted, "Give me a glass of water."
In the eyes of others, this glass of water is naturally not something that the alchemist named Liu wants to drink, but is used on the thrush.
The young woman immediately went to pour water, and Hou Xiaowu pressed the button with his hand, and the cage door of the golden cage was opened immediately. This exquisite design was very consistent with the exquisiteness of the golden cage.
Hou Xiaowu grabbed the two thrushes at the door of the cage door and headed forward. Then Hou Xiaowu turned the white porcelain bottle inverted, facing the palm of his hand, and poured out everything inside. After putting down the white porcelain bottle, everyone could clearly see that two round white pills appeared on his palm, and the pill bottle naturally became empty, and there were only these two pills inside.
A very musk-like scent was released from the white pills and merged into the air. Everyone immediately smelled it. To their surprise, the two pills were emitting spiritual aura, and the aura was fluctuating.
Good, these two pills are definitely not ordinary expensive pills, and the grade should be very high! The shopkeepers are even more interested. If these two pills are fed into the mouth of the thrush and successfully resurrect the thrush, you will be really lucky to see the pills of the magical artifact!
It is said that there are elixir-level pills that can make bones produce blood and flesh, and can also make the dead return to their souls and resurrect them. They are called the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. Although the current environment and the level of an alchemist, it is impossible for anyone to refine this level of pills, but the pills that can revive the small thrush bird with only a trace of breath are also amazing enough. If they are sold to monks, they will definitely be very popular.
After all, even if this kind of pill cannot resurrect the dead, it can become a life-saving pill for monks to protect their heart meridians when they are seriously injured and are on the verge of death. It can protect people from their lives, that is, advanced!
"Although I can't recognize who this alchemist is, I always feel that he can use white pills to save two thrushes."
"No wonder even a bird cage is so exquisite. The wealth of successful alchemists must be amazing. There are probably too many spiritual stones that have no place to spend. It is normal to buy an exquisite bird cage."
"If you can enjoy the scene of Dan Wan resusciting the thrush today, even if you don't have the chance to see the alchemist refining the pills, it will be enough. At least you can witness the style of this alchemist."
"No wonder Zhangguin Tong didn't dare to be negligent. He wanted to take the Shadow Stone to recommend the other party's flying magic weapon. This alchemist looked extraordinary at first sight. It is estimated that buying a primary holy weapon flying magic weapon is no problem."
These people said in their hearts that people rely on clothes. They observed Hou Xiaowu's clothes and dressed up, and felt that the other party had a certain status. When they saw that the other party was about to use pills to try to save the bird that had just been poisoned, they felt that the other party had this ability, and the other party's position in their hearts suddenly increased.
Hou Xiaowu naturally didn't know what these people were thinking at this moment. He only knew that the young woman came over with a cup of clear water, so he also pinched two white pills with his thumb and index finger. He grabbed a thrush from the cage with his other hand and was about to feed the pills. But at this moment, a look of pain flashed on Hou Xiaowu's face, and his right hand holding the pills trembled suddenly. He then had to put down the thrush on his left hand and pinched his right arm with his left hand tightly. The painful look made people feel that his old injury was recurring at this moment, and even the pills could not be pinched.
But the woman holding the water did not see this. Hou Xiaowu turned his back to her, and Hou Xiaowu's left hand held his right arm and almost didn't need to move his shoulders, and his head didn't move. Hou Xiaowu was considering the time, and he pinched his right arm with his left hand for a few seconds and moved away. The violent trembling of his right hand almost disappeared, as if he had survived the outbreak of an old injury and was about to return to normal.
At this moment, the young woman smiled, moved her long legs, and walked over with a glass of water on the tray.
Hou Xiaowu stepped on the right foot on the ground, and kicked the heel slightly to the back. A thin line of mana was emitted, but it was not directly at the woman's feet. This mana quickly spread to the front of the woman's feet against the ground. The next moment, when the woman's left foot fell to the ground, the soles of the shoe slipped suddenly, as if she suddenly stepped on a slippery water stain, and the center of gravity was suddenly unstable.
Originally, she was also a monk, and it was very simple to quickly restore balance, and it was even more impossible to fall forward. But now she was very close to Hou Xiaowu. If she wanted to restore balance, her body had to swing within a certain small range. At the moment, the space was blocked by Hou Xiaowu's body, and there was no time to restore balance by swinging. She had to turn her body sideways and lean forward. Her left hand first supported the counter counter and immediately stabilized her body. However, her body leaned forward after all. If the glass of water held in her right hand did not want to fall or spill out the water, she could only find a place to put it down quickly. She was also very skilled in wrists, and let the tray move forward against the right counter. After the tray touched the counter, she stopped quickly. The glass of water on it only swayed a few times, and the water did not spill out and splashed on the alchemist.
In short, when the soles of her feet suddenly slipped, she had already completed the emergency treatment, and did not make any mistakes, nor did she affect the guests.
But her body leaned forward, and the distance between Hou Xiaowu was so close. Although her left hand supported the counter, her upper body still gently hit Hou Xiaowu's back.
Hou Xiaowu's reaction was unexpected.
His body was not moving at all, which was normal. After all, the woman who ran into the back had very little force. With his man's broad back, it was normal that he did not move at all, but his face showed a painful expression, as if the other party had just hit him in the wound. His right hand trembled again, and his index finger and thumb had no strength to pinch the white pills, his fingers were unable to spread, and two white pills fell, one in front and one behind, and fell into the cup on the tray in front of him.
When the pills are in the water, the water in the cup immediately turns green. In an instant, the white pills disappear and melt away.
Hou Xiaowu is very anxious
He looked like he didn't care about his trembling right hand, and quickly picked up the water cup and poured the water into the tray. However, after pouring it off, there was no sign of the white pill at the bottom of the cup.
After a moment of rushing, Hou Xiaowu stood up, his face was angry and angry. He turned his head to look at the young woman behind him, and his fingers almost poked the woman's face: "You idiot, what did you do?"
"Customer, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't think about it..."
The young woman thought she had bumped into the other party, and her actions were offensive to the other party, and she didn't even understand why the other party's alchemist was so angry at her.
But before she finished speaking, Hou Xiaowu became furious and angrily rebuked: "Shut up! The two small soul recovery pills were finally refined, but they were lost by you idiot!"
It seemed that he knew that getting angry at an ordinary waiter was useless. Hou Xiaowu turned his head and looked at the row of shopkeepers behind the counter, gritted his teeth, and said in a cold tone: "Let your Pavilion Master come out!"
Hou Xiaowu is not afraid of making things bigger, because he has the final say whether the matter is big or small, and he can control it at any time. Even if the owner of this branch of the pavilion comes, he still has a way to deal with it and continue his plan.
Unexpectedly, one of the shopkeepers said in embarrassment: "Customer, our Pavilion Master is not here, otherwise I will let the deputy Pavilion Master come over?"
"What do you think?" Hou Xiaowu said angrily, picked up the cup that had been poured out of the water and looked upside down. He seemed to want to find two white small pills from the remaining few drops of water.
At the same time, Hou Xiaowu also had a painful expression, and seemed to be unable to bother to get angry anymore.
This behavior made the shopkeepers even more uneasy. The alchemist cared so much about the two small pills and mentioned that the name was Xiaohunhui Pill. Now they were in trouble. What they might have destroyed was the extremely precious pill that the other party finally refined!
Some shopkeepers ran to call the deputy pavilion master, and some shopkeepers ran out to find shopkeeper Tong, and the counter was in a mess. The young woman was the one who knew the most about things, but she knew that it was because of her that the two pills of the alchemist fell into the water cup and could not be retrieved.
So I was afraid that this responsibility would be blamed on her head. She was trembling on the side because she was scared and even her mind was blank.
Hou Xiaowu continued to look heartbroken. When he saw the fat shopkeeper running over hurriedly, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and in an instant he was filled with anger again.
Zhangguan Tong already knew a little bit about what was going on. He was so impatient that he knew how much impact it would have. So he came up and apologized and then whispered: "Customer, can you please go to the VIP room with us to deal with this matter together? Don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory result."
This hall is a place for public activities, with many people and eyes. For example, now, none of the dozen guests in the hall have left, but they are surrounded by them, waiting to watch the fun.
If things are simple, it would be okay. For example, if the branch Pavilion only needs to pay out a few thousand low-grade spirit stones to compensate, and then apologize and seek the forgiveness of the guests, then it will be over. The onlookers' mentality of watching the excitement will disappear immediately. The branch Pavilion can also gain a good reputation for treating the guests with all their heart.
But now, it is obviously not that simple. If the two white small pills of the alchemist named Liu were really precious, the compensation for the branch pavilion would be very large and it would not be solved in a short time. If you want to ask the Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master would also have to ask the General Pavilion. Therefore, both parties will continue to stay in the hall, and those who watch the fun will keep watching. When they see the problem, they will not be able to be solved for a long time. Maybe after leaving, they will say that this branch pavilion or even Qizhen Pavilion is not, which will ruin the reputation of Qizhen Pavilion.
"No need, just tell the matter here." Hou Xiaowu naturally refused directly. There were people in the hall, and there were not many people at the same time, so he could take the initiative to find something to make things attract attention, and solve things at any time. He could leave calmly without worrying that there were too many people and was staring at them all the time.
Zhanggui Tong was embarrassed and wanted to persuade him. Hou Xiaowu was impatient: "Do you want to escape responsibility?"
"Absolutely not," Zhanggui Tong said aggrievedly. It was definitely not possible for people to think that the branch Pavilion wanted to escape responsibility, so they asked the parties to go to the VIP room to close the door for negotiation. He said sincerely, "It's just that there are so many people here."
"It's okay if there are some people to testify." Hou Xiaowu looked expressionless and took the initiative to attack, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Zhanggui Tong was in a dilemma, and the deputy cabinet leader Tian Xinnong finally appeared. Zhanggui Tong immediately stepped aside and whispered a few words to the deputy cabinet leader.
Tian Xinnong began to take over this troublesome thing. Like Zhanggui Tong, he wanted to ask Xiaowu to go to the VIP room to solve the problem. After being rejected, he had to ask Zhanggui Tong to send someone to guard the door and not to receive new guests for the time being. Then he asked Xiaowu politely: "Customer, did you mention the two small soul recovery pills you made by yourself? What is the value?"
"What's the value?" Hou Xiaowu was angry, as if the other party didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, he became furious, "One unique! I have worked hard to refine it. How valuable do you think it is?"
After being choked hard, Tian Xinnong didn't care about being angry, but instead comforted the other party: "I also invited the guest to relieve the fire. I also wanted to figure out the situation so that I could handle the problem as soon as possible for the guest."
Hou Xiaowu's face cleared a little, and he said, "If the two small soul-recovering pills can save the thrush, it is enough to be worth a holy weapon flying magic weapon!"
"Yes, I also heard that the guest officials planned to use Dan Wan to try to save the Thrush." Tian Xinnong naturally would not agree that the value of the two Dan Wan is equivalent to a holy weapon. Now that the Dan Wan is gone, there is no way to distinguish the grade of Dan Wan. It is definitely impossible to say what the Dan Wan is worth and what it is.
Even, he could doubt whether the other party was trying to make a fuss and wanted to deliberately find a filing for the branch office!
So Tian Xinnong continued, "Can the guest officer still refine the same little soul recovery pill?"
It means that the pill is not an isolated product. If a holy weapon is gone, it will be gone forever. If the other party mentioned the small soul recovery pill can continue to be refined, then both parties can have a good talk. The compensation involved should not be particularly huge.
Chapter completed!
