Chapter 333: Ingredients for the Longevity Pill
Chapter 333: Ingredients for the Longevity Pill
Two young monks were waiting in front of the house. They were wearing plain robes and had bald heads, which made them different from the servants who had accompanied them before.
When they reached the house, the two monks respectfully performed a simple Buddhist ritual.
Si He couldn't help but take a closer look, because she felt that they didn't look like monks. If they weren't bald and wearing monk's robes, they would give people the feeling of servants, not monks at all.
As the group of people walked into the hall of the house, a servant came quickly outside and whispered to Zang Nian that there was another guest visiting.
Zang Nian thought for only a moment before asking someone to invite all the guests in.
Lu Song and others were curious about who was so well-informed that they actually found this place. It went without saying that he must have come here for the longevity pill. They originally wanted to have a good talk with Zang Nian. It would have been fine if there was an outsider in the way, but now another person came, which was really troublesome!
They all sat on the cushions in the hall, looking outside the door, curious about who was coming.
Si He also turned her head to look, and soon she saw the visiting guest walking towards the house. Seeing the familiar figure, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
I didn’t expect it to be them!
"Master Zang Nian, we are sorry for disturbing you by coming here without your permission."
The man who spoke spoke with full energy and a smile on his face. He walked into the hall under the guidance of the servants.
However, after entering the hall, he saw many people sitting there. He didn't seem to have expected that so many people would come today, and they all arrived earlier than him.
The man's eyes swept across the hall and finally stopped at the only girl. Especially when he saw her face, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The people who came with the man were also a little surprised when they saw Si He!
Zang Nian looked at their expressions and said, "Amitabha, Donor Helian, Donor Zhao, long time no see. I hope you are well."
The people who came to visit were Helian Jie, and also Zhao Laoxie.
Neither of them had expected that they would meet again in such a scene after more than 20 years!
The most important thing is that her face is still the same, still as young and beautiful as before!
Time hadn't left any traces on her body, which shocked them and made them a little confused. Was she the person they knew? Or was she not the person they knew, but just looked the same?
After hearing Zang Nian's words, the two came to their senses and restrained their expressions.
Zhao Laoxie clasped his hands together and gave a simple Buddhist salute to Zang Nian, "Amitabha."
Helian Jie also said politely: "Thanks to the Master, everything is fine. However, this girl looks similar to an old friend of mine. What is her name?"
"This is Miss Si." Zang Nian said, looking at Si He with a meaningful look, "I wonder if you know Miss Si?"
Si He looked at the inquiring and puzzled eyes of the two men, as well as Zang Nian's slightly meaningful look, and she said lightly, "I don't know him."
She had been using a fake household registration in Beisha Country, but Zang Nian called her Miss Si. After all, their identities were different, and whether she admitted it or not, what could they do to her? The past grudges were over, and they were over.
Hearing her words and her voice, Helian Jie and Zhao Lao Xie did not frown or squint their eyes, but looked at her. Both her voice and expression were exactly the same as the person from more than 20 years ago, not to mention her face which had not changed at all!
The smile on Zang Nian's face seemed to deepen a little, and then he looked at Helian Jie and Zhao Lao Xie, "Amitabha, please take a seat, both donors."
Since Zang Nian had spoken, the two of them did not want to ask any more questions and could only take a seat in the hall.
At this moment, several monks came in with tea, as well as some fruits and snacks, and placed them on the small table in front of each person.
"I wonder why you two came here today?"
As soon as Zang Nian opened his mouth, Lu Song and others couldn't help but look at Helian Jie and Zhao Laoxie. They all regarded the two as competitors in their hearts. After all, Master Zang Nian had limited elixirs, and if there was one more person competing, they would get less.
But Si He didn't care what they did. She picked up an orange on the table and started peeling it silently without touching a drop of tea.
Although Zang Nian was questioning them, his eyes were still constantly on Si He. Before he could wait for their answers, he instructed the monks beside him, "Go prepare some vegetarian food."
The monk responded and quietly withdrew.
Helian Jie glanced at the people in the hall. He and Zhao Lao Xie came here for the longevity pill, and the people here seemed to have the same intention, so he did not hide it. "Master, we came here this time to get the longevity pill you made."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Song and others suddenly changed. Although they had guessed the purpose, they could no longer remain calm as before after hearing these words.
Among those present, only Si He and Zang Nian maintained their expressions. Even the servants serving beside them had a change of expression in their eyes.
The longevity pills have been out of supply in the market for several months now, and many people are extremely anxious. However, the black market has kept the news about Zang Nian a secret. These people have to rack their brains to find out that the person who refined the pills is Zang Nian. However, Zang Nian has always been elusive, so it is difficult to find out any news about him.
They finally found out that Zang Nian had appeared in a nearby city, so they immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over from other cities.
After Helian Jie finished speaking, he glanced at the expressions of the people in the hall. No one showed any shock or surprise. As he expected, they all came for the longevity elixir. Even Si He, who was eating oranges calmly, seemed to know about this.
Zang Nian looked at Helian Jie and said slowly, "Amitabha, I am very pleased that the longevity pill can help those in need. However, the materials for refining medicine are scarce now, and I am powerless and cannot refine the longevity pill anymore."
In the past, people sold longevity pills for the purpose of making money and also for the purpose of conducting experiments.
But now, spiritual essence is indeed scarce. He doesn't even have time to keep it for himself, so how could he possibly make pills to sell?
Ancient tombs are hard to find, and corpses that can produce spiritual essences are even rarer. Newly cultivated corpses cannot produce spiritual essences so quickly, so it is true that materials for refining medicine are scarce.
Hearing this, Helian Jie hurriedly asked: "Master, what medicinal herbs are you missing? We can help you find them."
Zhao Laoxie also said: "We all have businesses dealing in medicinal herbs. Even if they are precious herbs, we can do our best to provide them."
Seeing that both of them said so, Lu Song did not want to be left behind and quickly said: "Yes, Master, we can also provide you with medicinal herbs. I wonder what kind of herbs you are short of?"
Zang Nian sighed softly and said, "The other precious medicinal herbs are fine, but there is only one that is the most rare."
