Chapter 368 The mysterious person
Si He also saw Liu Mao's anxiety, so she didn't refuse. She made a list and asked him to prepare some medicinal materials and other things needed for making pills.
Although she had never refined the longevity elixir, she had watched Ning Ji when he was researching the elixir, so she knew the process and formula.
She still had some spiritual essence on hand, so she could refine some pills.
Liu Mao took the prescription with a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't believe that she had listed the herbs needed for the longevity pill just like that!
You know, this is the medicinal ingredient for the longevity elixir, and its value is immeasurable!
He carefully put away the list and hurried out to prepare the herbs.
Si He dared to make a list for him and was not afraid of him knowing it. The most important thing was that the most important ingredient in the longevity pill was spiritual essence. This thing was not on the list, and the ingredients were incomplete, so they couldn't tell anything.
Moreover, she believed that Liu Mao would not easily leak the prescription. He knew the value of this thing better than she did.
After a night's rest, Liu Mao prepared the necessary medicinal materials and alchemy utensils. He also borrowed a room in the inn and decorated it so that it looked a bit like a pharmacy.
Si He didn't have time to waste, so she decided to refine the pills and leave as soon as possible.
After entering the house, Si He followed the process in her memory and began to process the medicinal materials, arranging them according to the dosage. Every step was very careful and rigorous. She was the only one in the room. Originally, Liu Mao had also dispatched people to serve her, but she had driven them all out of the house.
Liu Mao also understood this. After all, most people would not allow outsiders to participate in alchemy. Prescriptions were the foundation of an alchemist's career, not to mention the longevity pill, which was almost a magical pill.
Si He was busy in the house alone. The house was heavily guarded and no one could get close.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, a morning had passed. Si He had wasted two furnaces when she first tried to refine this kind of elixir, and only succeeded in refining one furnace on the third time, and there were only six longevity pills.
Si He looked at the pill in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Although it only cost her one spiritual essence, it took more energy.
She put the five longevity pills into two small medicine bottles, three pills in each bottle. She thought about it and decided to keep one bottle for herself and give one to Liu Mao.
Although this thing is not really a good medicine, it might be useful in the future.
Of course, it is not useful to her, because the spiritual essence contained in this pill is very small and has little effect on her.
After packing the pills, Si He burned the other wasted pills, cleaned up the traces, and then walked out of the house with the medicine bottle.
Outside the house, Liu Mao was waiting anxiously, and Liu Huotang was also waiting far away.
Except for Liu Mao, no one here knew what kind of elixir she was refining, so they naturally didn't know the importance of this elixir.
As soon as Liu Mao saw Si He coming out, he hurried to greet her, and then she threw a small medicine bottle at him.
Liu Mao quickly reached out to take it, but because he was old and his skills were not as good as before, he almost dropped the bottle to the ground. After he took the bottle, he looked embarrassed.
"The pills you requested are enough for you for now."
Hearing her say this, Liu Mao quickly opened the bottle cap and saw three pills inside. Is this the legendary longevity pill?
"Now that we have arrived in the Great Yan Kingdom, I no longer need your escort. We are even now. Prepare a horse for me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the guest room upstairs.
Liu Mao looked at her back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he said nothing.
"Grandfather, what kind of medicine is this?"
Liu Huotang came over and asked curiously.
Liu Mao glared at him and said, "Little boy, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"
Liu Huotang curled his lips and said, "Grandfather, I'm not a child anymore."
Liu Mao: "Why, have you grown taller? Have you become more powerful? Have you become more stubborn?"
Hearing this, Liu Huotang stopped talking and stood obediently, but his eyes were still curiously looking at the medicine bottle in his hand.
On the other side, after Si He returned to the guest room, she sat on the edge of the bed, took out the bone beads, and sensed them carefully as usual.
This time, she felt a faint reaction again. She closed her eyes, held the bone bead, and followed the faint sensation, slowly changing the direction. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked. It was the southeast direction, and the direction had changed again.
However, it is still within the territory of Dayan, not Beisha Kingdom, otherwise, there will be trouble again.
She had originally planned to get rid of Liu Mao today, and now that she had a direction, it was just right.
She put the bone beads away, picked up her packed bag, and walked downstairs.
At the entrance of the inn, Liu Mao had already asked someone to bring the horse over and was waiting at the door.
"Where is Madam Ding going? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Liu Mao spoke sincerely, his eyes full of concern. If possible, he hoped she could stay. After all, he didn't know whether the three longevity pills had that magical effect, and he didn't know whether these were real longevity pills.
After Si He got on the horse and hung up the bag, he looked at Liu Mao and said, "Don't ask too many questions, don't follow me, and don't pry into the matter."
Her words were concise and clear, and her eyes were sharp and warning.
Liu Mao met her eyes, and inexplicably, he seemed to be back to the old days. That intimidating pressure filled his heart, and he had no choice but to say, "Yes, then take care. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to Tianyuan Trading Company to deliver a message."
Si He said nothing more and drove the horse slowly towards the outside of the city.
Liu Mao looked at her receding figure with a deep gaze. The humility on his face was gone. He stood up straighter and turned back into the majestic Mr. Liu San.
Liu Huotang felt a little scared every time he faced such a grandfather, which made it even more obvious how special that mysterious woman was.
"Grandfather, do we need to send someone to follow us?" Liu Huotang could see how much his grandfather valued that woman, so he asked this question.
Moreover, the woman was also very mysterious. She always covered herself tightly and never showed her true face to anyone. Even the maids who served her could not get close to her. The more she was like this, the more curious people became.
Liu Mao watched the figure disappear, and finally, he sighed softly, "Forget it, let's not offend her rashly. Let's go back to the old house first."
Liu Huotang: "Yes, grandfather."
……
On the other side, after Si He left the city, he rushed all the way to the southeast.
After traveling for most of the day, she entered a city to rest as it was getting dark.
Aoki Castle is a fairly large city with a relatively large population. After entering the city, it is obviously more prosperous and lively than the previous small town. The pedestrians passing by on the street are no longer all soldiers.
After entering the city, Si He found a slightly larger inn to stay in.
When I walked into the inn, I saw that there were quite a lot of guests staying there, with people coming and going.
She asked for a room upstairs. When she was going upstairs with the key, someone came down from upstairs. She glanced at him casually, and when she saw the person's face, her eyes paused.
