Chapter 650 Return to Ruyuan Tower
Chapter 650 Return to Ruyuan Tower
While the spiritual essence in a longevity pill has significant effects, it also contains only a trace amount of evil energy. Without careful inspection, it is difficult to detect, at least in the short term, it is difficult for people to notice any abnormality.
However, even if abnormalities are discovered, many people will continue to take this medicine due to its miraculous effects.
After all, in the eyes of many people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
For people whose lives are hanging by a thread, taking longevity pills can help them live longer. Compared to staying alive, that little harm is nothing.
Nowadays, not only people from various wealthy families are scrambling to buy the longevity elixir, but many generals and Taoists in the army are also very interested in it. After all, people who go in and out of the battlefield have a greater demand for the longevity elixir.
Today, not only Si He and Yue Fuli came to Ruyuan Tower, but Taoist Guye and others and some generals also came.
Although one thousand taels of silver is a lot, it is the reward accumulated from the war in these months, and a general can still afford it.
The Taoists are even wealthier and can afford to buy a few pills, but they just don't have the opportunity.
After all, there are too many people for too little supply, so this time there are still only ten longevity pills for sale, and there are too many people rushing to buy them.
Originally, Si He and Yue Fuli did not think much of the longevity pill, but now the impact is too great, so they came to see the situation of the longevity pill in the market.
"Husband, what do you think about this matter?"
After Si He finished reading the messages in her hand, she put them away and asked.
Yue Fuli asked in return: "Do you know the origin of the longevity pill?"
Si He thought for a moment and said, "The Longevity Pill was originally developed by a monk named Zang Nian from Beisha Country. It caused a sensation for a while, but after that monk disappeared, the pill's whereabouts were lost. It must have been nearly twenty years since then. I suspect that this monk Chang Ling may have had some connection with Zang Nian at the time, which is why he was able to refine this Longevity Pill."
She paused as she spoke, then added, "The longevity pill I took before was actually made by my master."
When she said this, her tone was inexplicable.
Yue Fuli lowered his eyes and looked at her. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and arrived in front of Ruyuan Tower.
It was very lively and noisy outside, so it was difficult to have a conversation.
Si He stopped talking and looked at Yue Fuli, "Husband, let's go."
"it is good."
Before getting off the carriage, Si He put on a veil hat, covering herself tightly. She looked more conservative than the average woman from aristocratic family, not exposing any skin at all. She even wore a pair of gloves on her hands, but she did this just to prevent herself from being sunburned.
Yue Fuli didn't say anything about this, but he thought it was a good idea.
After getting off the carriage, the bright sunshine shone down, and there was a dazzling light everywhere, adding a layer of golden color to the surrounding scenery.
However, the wind blowing by is very cool, and the autumn is in full swing.
At this time, many carriages were parked in front of Ruyuan Building, but these carriages were very low-key and had no family emblems, so it was impossible to tell which family they came from. From this, it can be seen that they were very cautious.
In comparison, their carriages were much more conspicuous and not deliberately concealed, and the accompanying guards all had the insignia of the Yue Family Army, allowing their identities to be recognized at a glance.
Now the entire Zhongzhou city has been taken over by Yue Fuli, and the city of Guang'an is also heavily guarded, so there is nothing to hide when traveling.
For this reason, wherever the carriage went, pedestrians on the street would avoid it early and be very wary.
When they arrived in front of the Ruyuan Tower, some wealthy gentry and children of aristocratic families who were about to enter the Tower were so excited that they wanted to come over to pay their respects, but they were stopped by the guards from a distance. They did not dare to act presumptuously and could only watch.
Today, Yue Fuli was wearing a dark-colored casual suit. After taking off his military uniform and armor, he looked more noble and less domineering, but his unique aura remained unchanged.
In front of others, his stern face and tall and handsome figure inevitably made him the focus of attention. Many people frequently looked over here secretly, but out of fear, they dared not look too much.
Since they came here, the nearby vendors have kept silent and even stopped shouting, for fear of disturbing the distinguished guests.
Nowadays, even three-year-old children in this city know that the city has changed its owner and is controlled by the Yue family.
This cold-blooded man who controlled Zhongzhou showed his seriousness when he was holding the tightly wrapped woman's hand. His movements were deliberately made lighter, especially when he walked into Ruyuan Tower. He even slowed down his pace to accommodate her.
In this way, it is not difficult to guess who this tightly wrapped woman is, because there is only one woman beside him.
The waiter respectfully led the way in front. After entering the building, he went up the side stairs without attracting any attention.
We had booked a private room in Ruyuan Building early on and reserved the best seat.
Now that the longevity pills are for sale, in order to protect the privacy of the guests, the protective measures in the Ruyuan Building are very good, and the serial numbers on the private room number plates distributed after going upstairs are also disordered.
Only after entering the private room and sitting down did Si He take off her veil and gloves.
At this time, a steward from the building came over. After respectfully handing over the auction list and the refreshment menu, he took out an exquisite brocade box and said, "Greetings, my two distinguished guests. This is something that a distinguished guest from the building asked me to pass on to Madam Yue. He also brought a message saying that he had repaid the elixir he owed."
He stood respectfully not far away and handed the things to the female guard Gao Zi beside him.
After handing over the things, the steward looked at the new master of Zhongzhou with some curiosity.
But the man was so imposing that he felt panic after just one glance. He subconsciously retracted his gaze and dared not look any further.
When Si He heard the manager's words, she knew who the distinguished guest was, but she was a little surprised that Chang Ling returned the medicine at this time.
Gao Zi, who was standing by, took the thing, opened the brocade box, and saw that it was a small medicine bottle. There was nothing dangerous in it, so he handed the bottle to Si He.
Si He took a look at the contents of the medicine bottle and found that it was indeed longevity pills, and there were ten pills in total.
Chang Ling took two longevity pills at the beginning. He said he would return double the amount later, but now he returned ten pills.
However, this longevity pill that diluted the spiritual essence was different from the two pills she had at the beginning, so ten pills were not too many.
Si He turned his gaze back to the steward in front of him and asked, "Is Master Chang Ling in Ruyuan Tower?"
The steward looked at her with some surprise, but also with some expectation, and replied: "Reporting to Madam Yue, Master Changling is not in the building. The one who delivered the elixir was one of his disciples."
Si He was not surprised by this. After all, from the information she had obtained, Chang Ling should still be in Qingzhou, so she just asked casually.
"Yeah." She nodded and said nothing more. After ordering some tea and snacks, the steward left.
