68: Refining Medicine and Making Poisons (Part 1)Xingluo City, the Great Fighting Spirit Arena.
The Ghost Shadow Corps was very efficient and found out the news about the Po Yi Clan in just five days.
According to information brought back by a ghost soldier, the Po Yi clan lives in Xing Luo City, and there is a pharmacy opened by the Po Yi clan in every town in the city.
The ghost soldier followed the person in charge of a pharmacy and finally found out that this person was an elder of the Poyi clan. Through the whereabouts of this elder, they found the secluded place of the Poyi clan.
Lu Buliang was very surprised to receive the news, but he did not go directly to visit the secluded place of the Pozhi clan because it was too sudden and would make the Pozhi clan members defensive, and it would also be troublesome to explain his purpose to others.
Moreover, with the current strength, it is not enough to be arrogant in front of the Poyi clan.
Because in addition to the skills of refining medicine and making poisons, the Po Yi clan's members are also very powerful in combat. The clan leader Yang Wudi is now estimated to have the strength of a Soul Douluo. The other elders in the clan may also be Soul Saints over level 70.
To make a deal with a powerful person, you must either have equal strength and capital, or have conditions that can tempt the other party. Otherwise, it will inevitably end in failure, and in serious cases, you may even lose your life.
According to information sent back by another ghost soldier, the Pozhi clan members would go to the Xingluo Auction House to buy things at night.
When I went to the auction house with Ye Lingling to buy a storage soul guide, the staff there introduced the rules of the auction house.
The auction house conducts bidding in a 24-hour cycle. From 8 to 10 p.m. every day, the best items are auctioned. During these two hours, only buyers with guaranteed assets exceeding one million Gold Soul Coins can participate.
In other words, the truly top-quality items in the auction house are auctioned at night.
What is the best thing?
It is naturally a rare and priceless treasure.
Such as soul bones of advanced age, soul guides with strong offensive or defensive capabilities, or some slaves with special identities, artifacts made by master craftsmen, etc.
These goods are undoubtedly top-quality items for soul masters or nobles.
For those who are proficient in refining medicine and making poisons, precious and rare medicinal materials are the best and can only be found by chance.
Every night, there is a possibility that some rare and precious herbs will appear among the items to be auctioned at the auction.
The Pozhi clan members go to the Xingluo Auction House every night to buy things, just to try their luck and see if they can buy these precious and rare herbs.
Lu Buliang thought to himself, in the original novel, Yang Wudi said that the Pozhi clan had been searching for the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product for their entire lives, so the auction house should be one of the channels through which the Pozhi clan found the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
He and his companions from the Royal Fighting Team trained in the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena for two months. They participated in all forms of soul fighting, including individual soul fighting, double soul fighting, team soul fighting, and beast fighting. He won all fifty-one soul fighting games, which meant that Lu Buliang made a lot of money in the Soul Fighting Arena.
Winning a game of beast fighting in the imperial city could earn one million gold soul coins. Currently, Lu Buliang's assets have reached 14 million gold soul coins, which makes him fully eligible to enter the Xingluo Auction House from 8 to 10 pm to participate in the auction or bidding of goods.
This time he would enter the auction house as an auctioneer, and the item to be auctioned was not the fairy herb Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, but the pollen of this fairy herb.
A few days ago, Lu Buliang handed over the Ruyi Treasure Bag containing the magic grass to the Ghost Shadow Corps for safekeeping. Currently, the Ruyi Treasure Bag has been hidden by the Ghost Shadow Corps in the world within the Shadow Tomb domain, and no one can find it.
Lu Buliang no longer had any magical herbs on him, only a small bottle containing the pollen of the fragrant Qi Luo magical product.
In order to learn the plan of refining medicine and making poisons, Lu Buliang would not directly trade the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product with the Pozhi clan. Instead, he would first use the pollen of the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product to prove to the Pozhi clan that he owns this fairy herb.
After the Pozhi clan has learned the corresponding knowledge and skills, the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product will be given to the Pozhi clan.
If the Pozhi clan does not agree to such a deal, they will never be able to obtain the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product. Even if they capture Lu Buliang and torture him, it is impossible to get any information about the fairy grass from him.
Because he has the support of the Ghost Shadow Corps behind him, and Dugu Bo as his backer.
The town is already filled with ghost soldiers. Once the Po Yi clan captures Lu Buliang, the ghost soldiers will divide the work and cooperate with each other. Some of them will make a big fuss in the Po Yi clan's territory in an attempt to rescue Lu Buliang.
The other part rushed back to Tiandou City to report the situation to Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan.
Upon learning the news that Lü Buliang was captured, Dugu Bo would definitely come to rescue the Pozhi clan.
Furthermore, it would be almost impossible for the Pozhi clan to capture Lu Buliang, who could turn into a shadow and was immune to all poisons.
After thinking of various escape routes and safety guarantees for himself, Lu Buliang felt very confident about this deal.
He did not intend to seek out the Pozhi clan to make a deal, but instead tried to get the Pozhi clan to come to him in person and propose to him in person the condition of exchanging their medicine-making and poison-making technology for the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
Lu Buliang has already thought of a way to let the Pozhi clan find the door in person, which is to auction the fragrant and beautiful fairy pollen during the time when the Pozhi clan goes to the auction house to buy things.
Once the Pozhi clan discovers the product of Youxiang Qiluo fairy product pollen, they will definitely look for the seller to inquire about the whereabouts of Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
The person who will hold the initiative in the transaction at that time will be Lu Buliang, and the Pozhi clan will have to act according to his mood.
"————————"
The city center was extremely lively at eight o'clock in the evening, with lantern festivals, martial arts competitions, and cheerful sounds coming one after another.
Walking on the bustling street, Lu Buliang finally arrived at the Xingluo Auction House, put on a flame mask, and walked into the auction house.
Wearing a mask is a rule of the auction house and is for the safety of guests.
Seeing someone walking straight towards her, the receptionist standing at the entrance of the auction hall took three steps forward and bowed slightly: "Sir, it is now eight o'clock in the evening. Until ten o'clock, only buyers with assets exceeding one million gold soul coins can enter the auction hall. If you want to enter, you need to show your bidding qualification certificate."
Lu Buliang took out the bidding qualification certificate and handed it to the girl.
When the girl saw the amount of gold soul coins worth tens of millions on the qualification certificate, she immediately made way and made a please gesture towards the entrance of the auction hall.
"I'm not here to bid today, but to auction a commodity." Lu Buliang asked, "What should I do?"
"If you want to auction goods, you need to ask an appraiser to determine whether your goods are eligible for auction during this time period." The girl smiled, "As you know, the goods auctioned during this time period are all extremely rare, and not all goods can be auctioned. Please follow me, I will take you to the appraiser for product appraisal."
As she spoke, the girl walked towards the left side of the auction house entrance.
Lu Buliang followed closely behind.
When we arrived at the appraisal room, many appraisers were appraising items.
"Appraiser No. 1." The girl called to one of the appraisers, "Please appraise the product for this distinguished guest. See if this product is eligible for auction during this time period."
Lu Buliang took out a small transparent bottle the length of a finger from the ring. The bottle was filled with one-third of the capacity of lavender pollen, which was the pollen of the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
It takes certain skills to peel the pollen from the petals without damaging the plant. Fortunately, Ye Lingling is a professional flower grower. I learned some knowledge about flowers and plants from her, so that I could safely peel and preserve the pollen of the Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The appraiser took the small transparent bottle from Lü Buliang, looked at it, and immediately revealed a look of surprise. He turned it over and looked at it, and said, "Excuse my poor eyesight, but what plant's pollen is this?"
Lü Buliang smiled: "This pollen is extracted from the petals of a poison-resistant plant. Within the range of the fragrance emitted by the pollen, all toxins will lose their effect. Even the Poison Douluo who dominates the world of poison cannot poison people to death under the protection of this pollen."
"Are you kidding me?" The appraiser was even more surprised. "It can even be immune to the poison of a Titled Douluo? What kind of powerful anti-poison herb is this?"
"Your auction house should have VIPs who like to bid for precious herbs, right?" Lu Buliang said, "I think they know the importance of these pollens."
The appraiser opened the bottle cap and sniffed it tentatively. He claimed to be quite knowledgeable about medicinal materials, but he did not recognize this kind of herb and had never smelled the fragrance released by this kind of pollen.
However, there are indeed people who are proficient in refining medicine and making poisons who need to buy medicinal materials at the auction. Maybe my knowledge is really shallow.
"Excuse me, what kind of herb is this pollen from?" the appraiser asked with interest.
"I'm sorry. I can't explain it in detail." Lu Buliang shook his head and said, "This is the pollen produced by the best anti-toxic herb in the world. When you auction it, you only need to introduce it like this, and people who understand it will naturally spend a lot of money to bid for it."
"Okay." The appraiser stopped asking questions and looked at the lavender pollen in the transparent bottle. He said, "I really don't know the value of this pollen, and I'm afraid most bidders don't know it either. Maybe it's just like you said, only people who understand it think it's top-notch. If you are willing, I'm going to give it a starting price of 10,000 gold soul coins. What do you think?"
"Okay, then that's ten thousand gold soul coins." Lu Buliang thought to himself that the purpose of auctioning the Youxiang Qiluo fairy pollen was not to exchange it for money, but to attract the attention of the Pozhi clan to himself.
When the Poyi clan knows that they have the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product, they will definitely take the initiative to propose a trade.
By then, I will have the final say in the transaction, and then guide them step by step to make the conditions for teaching them the techniques of alchemy and poison making, and it will be natural for them to learn from the Pozhi clan.
Whether this plan can succeed depends on how much the people of the clan love the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
"——————"
Ten o'clock at night.
The auction time for the best products ended, and the fragrant and beautiful fairy pollen that Lu Buliang put up for auction was bought by a black VIP for 10,000 gold soul coins.
Lu Buliang did not explain to the appraiser that the pollen was produced by the magic grass, so the layman naturally did not know how precious it was.
If someone bids for the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Pollen at the auction, it means that this person knows the value of this bottle of pollen, otherwise, how could he be so stupid as to spend 10,000 gold soul coins to buy a bottle of pollen?
So Lu Buliang can be sure that the black VIP who bought the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Pollen knows the immortal grass and is most likely a member of the Po Yi clan.
Walking out of the auction house, a sturdy man who looked to be only in his fifties stood in front of Lu Buliang. The man was wearing a black mask, proving that he had just come out of the auction house as well.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Buliang asked.
The man handed a small transparent bottle to Lü Buliang and said, "I asked someone to investigate. You should be the seller of this product, right?"
Lu Buliang nodded. The transparent small bottle contained the fragrant and beautiful fairy pollen, which was indeed his auction item.
"I won't beat around the bush." The man said anxiously, "You have the pollen of this herb, which proves that you should have this herb, right?"
Lü Buliang answered truthfully: "I do have one."
"Really?" The man did not hide his excitement. "That's great. How much are you willing to pay? I want to buy it from you."
"I'm sorry, I don't have this herb." Lü Buliang said with embarrassment, "Besides, if you know this herb, then you should know how rare it is. It is a priceless treasure, how could I easily exchange it for money?"
"I understand what you said." The man said sincerely, "To be honest, this herb is too important to me. Sir, please state your conditions. As long as I can get this herb, any conditions are acceptable."
Lu Buliang was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to know your identity first, and then decide whether to make any conditions with you."
The man did not hide his identity. He took off his black mask and introduced himself in a deep voice: "My name is Yang Wudi. I am a pharmacist and poison master. At the same time, I am also a soul master. The reason why I want your herb is very simple. As you know, it is the best anti-poison herb. With it, I don't have to worry about poisoning when I refine medicine and make poisons. The fragrance of this herb can also cause some plants to mutate, thus producing stronger toxicity and medicinal properties. This herb is very important not only to me, but also to my people. Sir, I have confessed so much to you, you should see my sincerity, right?"
