Chapter 357: Che Family Patriarch
"What a pity." Qin Ziling shook his head with some regret.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sir , there's nothing to regret. If this recipe were really for sale, the price would definitely be sky-high. Moreover, to refine an elixir of this level, it would probably require at least a master alchemist at the level of a Qi Refining Grandmaster to make it.
Because the power of this elixir is extremely strong, only a great master of Qi Refining can suppress the conflict of power generated when refining this elixir. So even if you can afford the magic crystal stone, you can't refine it, not to mention that most of the medicinal materials used to refine this elixir are also very expensive and rare. "
Qin Ziling nodded and said, "That's true."
After saying that, Qin Ziling was about to look around again when six people walked over.
The group was led by a man and a woman. The man looked to be in his 50s or 60s. He had a refined temperament and a friendly face, which made people easily like him.
But the aura that the man inadvertently exuded gave Qin Ziling a feeling of towering mountains, surging blood and energy, and unfathomable depth.
He is actually a martial arts grandmaster!
The woman looked to be only about 30 years old and had a decent appearance, but her temperament was completely different from the man. She acted superior and looked at people with cold and ruthless eyes, as if others were ants and grass.
This woman is a master of Qi training, and the magical aura she radiates is in no way inferior to that of Elder Qingxu of the Tianmu Sect.
The four people following behind these two people also had amazing cultivation bases, one was a middle-level martial arts master, two were junior martial arts masters, and one was a junior Qi training master.
Although the four of them were masters, they followed the two closely and looked like servants.
When the old man selling the elixir recipe saw the six people coming, he hurriedly went out to greet them with a smile.
"Master Che and Elder Che Ling are honored to have visited us. We are sorry for not welcoming you in person!" said the old man with a very respectful and enthusiastic attitude.
"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Xu!" The man known as the head of the Che family smiled and bowed in return. The one known as Elder Che Ling just nodded coldly as a greeting, and his airs were even greater than that of the head of the Che family.
"I wonder what kind of elixir recipe you two want to buy?" The old man didn't seem to be offended by Che Ling's attitude at all and continued to ask politely.
"I heard that you put the recipe of 'Wu Zang Gui Yuan Pill' up for sale some time ago. I wonder if the recipe is still available now?" asked the head of the Che family.
"It's really unfortunate that Master Che came here. The recipe for the 'Five Zang Guiyuan Pill' has just been bought by that gentleman." The old man pointed at Qin Ziling who was turning around and leaving and was almost at the stairs, and said.
Che Ling's face changed slightly when she heard this. She turned to Qin Ziling's back and shouted coldly, "Stop!"
Qin Ziling, who was covered in a black cloak, slowly turned around, looked at Che Ling through the cloak, and asked, "Are you calling me?"
"That's right." Che Ling said, "I want the recipe for the 'Five Zang Gui Yuan Pill'."
"I'm sorry, I also need this recipe and don't want to transfer it." Qin Ziling said lightly.
After saying that, Qin Ziling turned around and was about to leave.
However, Qin Ziling had just turned around and had not yet taken a step when a young martial arts master flashed and blocked his way.
Qin Ziling ignored the young martial arts master, but turned his head and looked directly at the old man in charge of selling the pill formula at Tianzhu Pavilion, and asked, "Does Tianzhu Pavilion not care about this?"
The old man's face changed slightly, and he was about to speak, but the head of the Che family had already stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed slightly to Qin Ziling, and said in a friendly voice: "This young friend is polite. I am Che Gaolin, the head of the Wuzhou Che family, and the one who spoke just now is my daughter, the elder of the Danxia Palace, and also the master of alchemy, Che Ling.
This time we came here specifically for the recipe of the 'Wu Zang Gui Yuan Dan', so please give us a favor and give us the recipe of the 'Wu Zang Gui Yuan Dan'."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to transfer this pill." Qin Ziling refused without hesitation.
Che Ling, who had an arrogant look on her face, looked slightly gloomy when she heard this. Her eyes were cold. Just as she was about to speak, the head of the Che family raised his hand to stop her. He still smiled warmly and said, "I know it's not right to ask you to give up your love. In this way, I can add 20 magic crystal stones to the original price of this pill recipe, and it can also be regarded as my Che family owes you a favor. What do you think?"
Qin Ziling looked at the Che family head who was smiling warmly and never angry, and sneered in his heart: "You can even harm your good friend, use him as a token of loyalty, and still owe me a favor. I will never believe you!"
Qin Ziling secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface he showed hesitation and thought, and after a while he bowed to the Che family master and said: "Sorry, Master Che, I still don't want to transfer it.
"You!" Che Ling wanted to explode on the spot, her face full of anger, and a current of air was flowing around her body due to the fluctuation of the magic power in her body.
She is not only the daughter of the head of the Che family, but also the elder of the Danxia Palace, a very powerful Qi-refining sect in the Great Qi State. She has already glimpsed the secrets of thunder magic and will hopefully become a Qi-refining grandmaster in the near future. At the same time, she is also a master of alchemy. For a big figure like her, it can be said that as long as the person she meets is not a disciple of the Tianyan Sect, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if she meets a disciple of the Tianyan Sect , as long as they are not true disciples, there is no need to be too polite.
“Haha, since young friend is unwilling to give it up, then I, Che, will not force you to do it!” The head of the Che family was very well-mannered and still did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and bowed.
"I'm really sorry, Master Che!" Qin Ziling returned the salute and spoke "sincerely".
After saying that, Qin Ziling turned around again and went downstairs.
"Father!" Che Ling looked angry.
"It's okay, it's okay. If we don't have the recipe for the Five Zang Gui Yuan Pill, we can still look for other recipes." The Che family head smiled and said to the martial arts master behind him: "By the way, Ajie, take someone to help me look for the things I told you to do earlier."
"Yes, sir!" Ajie bowed slightly, then turned and left with a young martial arts master.
The old man from Tianzhu Pavilion's expression changed subtly when he saw this.
The head of the Che family ignored it and took Che Ling to walk around the counters where the names and introductions of the pill recipes were displayed with a smile. At the same time, he did not forget to ask the old man about Qin Ziling's situation and origins.
The old man naturally didn't know Qin Ziling's origins, he just mentioned that he bought the recipes for the "Five Zang Gui Yuan Pill" and the "Four Symbols Bu Yuan Pill".
"He even bought the 'Four Symbols Replenishing Yuan Pill'!" Che Ling's eyes lit up slightly.
However, the head of the Che family frowned slightly, then winked at the people behind him, and the other two masters immediately left Tianzhu Pavilion.
After the other two masters' followers left, the head of the Che family and Che Ling went to the fifth floor again, and then left the Tianzhu Pavilion leisurely.
As soon as the Che family head and his daughter left Tianzhu Pavilion, a martial arts master came forward and whispered, "Master, that person has left Canglang Island and is heading east. Butler Mu has already led people to chase him."
"Okay, let's go and take a look. That guy seems a little weird." said the head of the Che family.
"Hmph, what's so weird about that? He's nothing more than an arrogant boy who doesn't know his place." Che Ling said disapprovingly.
“Anyone who has the ability to buy the recipes for the ‘Five Organs Guiyuan Pill’ and the ‘ Four Symbols Buyuan Pill’ can be said to have the capital to be arrogant. If it weren’t for the fact that the ‘Five Organs Guiyuan Pill’ is very important for cultivating the children of my Che family, as a father, I would not be willing to take this risk.” said the head of the Che family.
"He doesn't even dare to reveal his true face, which shows that there is no conspiracy behind him. Moreover, the aura on him is not strong. It is very likely that he spent a fortune somewhere and learned some alchemy skills, so he came to Tianzhu Pavilion to buy the medicine formula." Che Ling said.
"What you said should be right, but it's not 100%. So, either don't do it, or do it perfectly and don't let him get away." The head of the Che family said, his face, which originally looked quite friendly, revealed a hint of ferocity and hideousness.
