Chapter 199: Trading, Complete Elixir Prescriptions?_1
Following Luo Changfeng's statement,
within the small courtyard, under the Stone Pavilion,
the two gradually fell into a bout of silence.
Luo Changfeng sipped his tea,
the Carefree Monk sitting across from him,
was likewise enjoying his tea at this time.
However, the one difference between them was
that Luo Changfeng was sipping in small mouthfuls, his eyes slightly squinted, continuously savoring that special feeling the tea brought him,
while the Carefree Monk seemed to be just plain thirsty, plus the tea tasted quite good.
Thus, he was gulping it down.
"Back to the question we were discussing earlier..."
After a long silence,
Luo Changfeng silently set down his cup of tea.
Then, he lifted his head
and softly asked the Carefree Monk in front of him, "Given your strength, you shouldn't need the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat. Why are you suddenly thinking of getting me to help you obtain one or two of them?"
The Carefree Monk pursed his lips and spoke in a low voice, "A disciple rarely makes such a request. As a master, shouldn't I make every effort to fulfill it?"
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng couldn't help but express his surprise, "A disciple? Someone like you actually has disciples?"
In response, the Carefree Monk immediately became somewhat displeased, "What? Can't I have disciples? I'll have you know, on the entire Xuanyuan Continent, my power is at least ranked in the top three. There are only a few here on the Xuanyuan Continent who can exchange a couple of moves with me. Can't someone as strong as I am have disciples?"
Luo Changfeng looked at the Carefree Monk several times.
He couldn't help but make a rather casual low comment.
"Top three?"
"Who knows if this 'top three' is even true..."
Upon hearing this,
the Carefree Monk's face twitched slightly.
Although Luo Changfeng's voice was not loud,
for someone whose cultivation reached the level of the Carefree Monk,
even the smallest voice could be heard perfectly clear.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore..."
Luo Changfeng shook his head.
He picked up a cup of tea from the stone table,
put it to his mouth, and took a sip.
Then, he once again spoke softly to the Carefree Monk in front of him, "You didn't come to me just for the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat, did you?"
The Carefree Monk slightly adjusted his mood,
sitting up straight, his expression returning to its initial calmness.
"Of course not..."
"I came to you for the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat, that's secondary. Could you get me a bottle of the Qi-Blood Elixir you crafted before?"
"At first, I planned to ask an old friend of mine to craft a furnace of Qi-Blood Elixirs for me."
"But what I didn't expect was..."
"My old friend hadn't even heard of such an elixir, so..."
At this point,
the Carefree Monk ceased to speak.

He just silently gazed at Luo Changfeng in front of him.
His eyes and that expression seemed to say,
[You better act sensibly and quickly make me a furnace!!!]
As Luo Changfeng heard this,
he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Qi-Blood Elixir, eh?"
He murmured softly,
seeming to ponder and hesitate,
and also seemed to be waiting for the Carefree Monk's following actions.
The Qi-Blood Elixir was not something that could be crafted casually.
Even disregarding the complexity of its crafting process,
the materials required alone,
were probably only available in his possession.
Besides, the Qi-Blood Elixir was a new type of elixir he had developed himself.
It was normal for other alchemists not to know how to make it.
Moreover, the Qi-Blood Elixir was generally used by those in the Five Realms of Mortality.
Was the Carefree Monk's request for the Qi-Blood Elixir indicating that his disciple's cultivation wasn't very high?
That they hadn't even surpassed the boundaries of the Five Realms of Mortality?
"How about it?"
"Can't you do it?"
After another prolonged silence,
the Carefree Monk sitting under the Stone Pavilion grew somewhat restless first.
He inquired in a low voice to Luo Changfeng who was leisurely drinking tea.
"I can, but..."
The Carefree Monk pressed on, "But what?"
Luo Changfeng shot a look at the Carefree Monk and then said in a somewhat helpless voice, "It's just that the crafting process for the Qi-Blood Elixir is extremely complex, and the materials required are quite rare, so..."
At this point, Luo Changfeng also fell silent.
He merely drank his tea whilst silently watching the Carefree Monk.
"You want money?"
"I don't have much on me..."
The Carefree Monk said in a low voice.
Luo Changfeng, however, remained silent on the matter,
just keeping to himself, drinking his cup of hot tea.
"Alright, fine..."
"How about trading it for this?"
After another moment of silence,
the Carefree Monk somewhat reluctantly waved his hand,
and from his storage ring, he pulled out a book.
On the book, the title 'Complete Elixir Prescriptions' was inscribed.
"This thing..."
Luo Changfeng looked at the somewhat old-looking book in the hands of the Carefree Monk,
and his eyes slightly narrowed.
This item seemed, at first glance, to be a common commodity.
Was the Carefree Monk really offering this up,
or was he trying to fool him?
"Eh..."
"Don't look at me with that kind of skepticism..."
"Despite this book being titled 'Complete Elixir Prescriptions,' don't think it's a common item found everywhere on the street."
