Zombie: After removing the impurities, Uncle Nine begs me to come out of seclusion?

Page 73

Su Feng didn't know about the quality, but he trusted Uncle Fu's judgment and knew that it would never be a shoddy product.

"Do you have Coptis chinensis, musk, or dried tangerine peel here?" Su Feng asked after looking around the shop.

The shop owner nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Of course!"

He then went behind the counter, rummaged around for a while, and brought out several small boxes.

"Young Master Su, please take a look."

Coptis chinensis and dried tangerine peel are quite common. As long as the process is done correctly, the quality will not differ too much.

But what Su Feng really wanted to look at was the musk.

He opened one of the boxes, took out a thumb-sized lump from the packaged paper bag, smelled it, and suddenly frowned.

"This is musk?"

Raising a sharp gaze, the shop owner panicked instantly, forcing an awkward laugh, "Y-yes..."

Seeing the man's lack of confidence, Su Feng shook his head with a straight face. "Then forget it. I want musk, not some inferior product that's just a cheap imitation."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner's face instantly turned ashen.

How could he have imagined that the renowned Young Master Su would have such a profound understanding of Chinese medicinal herbs, able to discern their authenticity simply by smelling them?

"Hehe—" Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, the shop owner opened up and confessed, "Young Master Su, please forgive me, but this musk is indeed very rare, and genuine products are even harder to find..."

"Besides, not many people buy musk, and the purchase price is too high, so..."

Regarding the matter of alchemy, there was no rush, and Su Feng did not continue to make things difficult for the shop owner. "Alright, no need to explain anymore. Wrap up the Coptis chinensis and dried tangerine peel for me. As for the musk, I'll go look for it elsewhere."

Seeing that the big customer was about to leave, the shop owner became anxious and quickly stopped him, saying, "If Young Master Su really wants musk, I can help you ask around. As long as the money is right, I'm sure I can get some!"

Chapter 71 Master Huang seeks help; Tengteng Town is plagued by zombies!

The saying "money makes the world go round" is indeed true.

As long as the money is right, not only can you get things that crawl on the ground or fly in the sky, but you can even get rare and exotic items that you've never heard of before.

“Since the boss has connections, then this matter is entrusted to you. If you manage to get high-quality musk later, I’ll take as much as you can, and money will not be a problem.”

Su Feng didn't hesitate and immediately made an agreement with the shop owner.

He wasn't worried about how long it would take; the other party was the one who should be anxious.

……

After purchasing the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, Su Feng and Chen Yue returned to the Su residence.

Of course, he didn't intend to stay long.

Back in his room, he placed the Supreme Cauldron into his Qiankun Bag, intending to take it to the banana grove for further study.

"Is Young Master planning to go there again?"

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Chen Yue standing outside the courtyard waiting for me.

"Yes, I've been quite busy lately, so I might have to stay a few more days."

Since there had been no results yet in the alchemy project, Su Feng couldn't say it directly.

"Take advantage of these few days to make sure you and Chenxing memorize the contents of the book and practice diligently. If you achieve something, that would be even better."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue was somewhat disappointed, but still smiled and nodded, "Young Master, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

Su Feng smiled with satisfaction, said goodbye to Uncle Fu, and left the Su residence before nightfall.

……

On the way back to the banana grove, I happened to see the deliveryman from the herbal medicine shop.

They parked two horse-drawn carts loaded with medicinal herbs in front of the thatched hut, and it took them quite a while just to unload them from the carts.

The deliveryman was quite surprised to see that all the medicinal herbs had been purchased by Su Feng alone.

But there aren't many "generous customers" like Su Feng anymore, and they dare not offend him. After accepting the transportation fee, they also left in their carriages.

Pushing open the door of the thatched hut, Su Feng spent some time before bringing in the bundle of herbs that had been packed outside.

The large space was instantly half-filled...

King Kong, on the other hand, without his supervision, was leisurely sleeping soundly on a bed that didn't belong to him.

Su Feng found it amusing but didn't call out to wake him.

Although King Kong is incredibly strong and possesses human-like intelligence, he is naturally mischievous and restless, and it's normal for him to occasionally disobey advice.

I just ask that he not cause a scene like Sun Wukong's "Havoc in Heaven," otherwise everything else is negotiable.

Place the medicinal herbs on the ground, then take the Supreme Cauldron out of the Qiankun Bag and place it aside.

As luck would have it, Tianyan's voice came at that moment.

[Ding! The Supreme Cauldron of Nine Returns to One has been successfully completed]

The next second, the Supreme Cauldron placed on the ground was enveloped in a green light, which then gradually expanded.

Like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, they suddenly grew to the same height as Su Feng!

"Wow!" Su Feng exclaimed in surprise and took two steps back.

Fortunately, he removed it quickly enough.

As the green light faded, the completed Supreme Cauldron took its final form.

Compared to its arm's length when it was brought back from the antique market, it is now the height of an adult man!

The iris patterns on the furnace body also expanded, covering all around, making it appear particularly mysterious.

"This is too big."

Su Feng exclaimed in surprise, and his voice woke up Jin Gang, who was taking a nap.

"Zhizhizhi?"

When Jin Gang opened his eyes and saw Su Feng, he was so startled that he quickly rolled off the bed and retreated to a corner like a child who had done something wrong, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

Su Feng didn't mind. He took out the bananas he had bought while shopping from his Qiankun bag and threw a handful over, saying, "I promised you before."

Not knowing how much King Kong needed, Su Feng simply bought about ten kilograms and put them into his Qiankun bag, thinking that if King Kong behaved well in the future, he would also have something to reward him.

King Kong, having received the banana, let out a "squeak squeak squeak" of joy, holding the banana and spinning around in place, as if showing off that he had received a reward from his master.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. I have more if you're not full."

Su Feng smiled and, ignoring the commotion on Jin Gang's side, began to concentrate on studying the Supreme Cauldron.

Based on what I've read in ancient books, I believe that a high-quality alchemy furnace can greatly increase the success rate of refining elixirs and medicines, and vice versa.

Su Feng dared not make a hasty judgment about the quality of the Supreme Cauldron before him.

Moreover, we don't have enough medicinal herbs on hand yet, and we can only try to make more difficult pills once the musk arrives.

"Let's start with the simple ones."

Unpack the delivered medicine basket, take out all the large and small packages, and arrange them according to type.

"We're currently short on some minerals, so forget about elixirs, but ordinary pills should be fine, right?"

Su Feng muttered to himself, reviewing the alchemy techniques he had previously completed in his mind.

Alchemy, also known as external alchemy, encompasses a vast amount of knowledge and content comparable to thoroughly memorizing and understanding the entire book of Maoshan talismans and formations.

The knowledge involved includes chemistry, which gave Su Feng a headache. It involves refining various elements and oxides, extracting the essence and discarding the dross.

Sometimes, it takes countless days and months of effort for an alchemist to make even a small pill.

"It seems that what I learned about Baopuzi before was useful after all."

When it comes to alchemists, the most famous one is undoubtedly the author of Baopuzi. In the inner and outer chapters of Baopuzi, he has unique understanding and analysis of alchemy, as well as the wonders of alchemy.

Unfortunately, the Baopuzi is not yet fully completed, so relying solely on the knowledge we have learned so far is still somewhat insufficient for us to delve into alchemy.

Just as Su Feng was worrying about how to begin the first step, footsteps came from outside the door, and the first thing he sensed was that awe-inspiring righteousness!

Su Feng didn't even need to think to know that the person who came was Uncle Jiu.

Is Young Master Su at home?

Uncle Nine's deep and powerful voice came from the doorway. Su Feng hastily gathered up the scattered medicinal herbs on the ground, covered Ren Weiyong with a white cloth, and then went to open the door.

Upon seeing Su Feng outside the door, Uncle Jiu bowed respectfully, saying, "It's been a long time, Young Master Su..."

It has been almost a week since I last worked with Uncle Nine to resolve Ren Weiyong's troubles.

Su Feng wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been mentioned.

How did Uncle Nine know I was here?

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu cupped his hands and smiled, "The steward of the manor, Uncle Fu, said that Young Master Su has been spending the night in this banana grove for several days in a row, so I came looking for him."

"I see... And who is this?"

Su Feng nodded, his gaze passing over Uncle Jiu and glancing at the person standing behind him.

This person was dressed in a Taoist robe and wore a Taoist headscarf, making his identity immediately recognizable.

"This is Master Huang, an old friend of mine."

"This humble Taoist greets Young Master Su." Taoist Master Huang bowed to Su Feng. "I apologize for disturbing you, but I have an important matter that I need Young Master Su's help with."

Su Feng wasn't entirely unfamiliar with Master Huang's name, but he hadn't expected him to arrive so early.

They just finished resolving the "Ghost Fight Zhang Dadan" storyline, and now another one is already right on top of that. They really don't give us any free time at all.

But since Huang Daochang has come from afar, something big must have happened.

"Master Huang, Uncle Jiu, please come in and we can talk further."

……

Three cups of tea were placed on the table, and fresh bananas were brought out to serve.
