The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

The assistant received instructions from Boss Sun that as long as Xu Xixi liked something, she should do her best to help her get it, even if it was an exhibit to be put on auction.

So he took out his phone, opened an app, browsed for a while and said with a smile: "This incense burner has been auctioned twice before, but because the owner asked for too high a price, it failed to sell both times. Now five million is the selling price. If Miss Xu likes it, I can discuss with the owner of the incense burner to see if I can lower the price a little bit."

Xu Xixi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Assistant."

The assistant made a phone call, and they talked back and forth. Hearing the two people talking about the incense burner one after another on the phone, Xu Xixi knew that the owner of the incense burner was also ignorant of the value of the incense burner.

In the end, the price of the incense burner was negotiated to four million. This price was a bit high, but Xu Xixi was very satisfied. After transferring the money to the auction house, she transferred another 100,000 to her assistant as a reward. The assistant's already respectful attitude became even more respectful.

Xu Xixi left with the alchemy furnace in her hands, feeling satisfied. When she got home, she locked herself in a space. She looked at the alchemy furnace from left to right, but couldn't figure out how to use it.

The old tree man laughed, "Go prepare two doses of herbs first, then squeeze a drop of blood from your fingertips onto the Bagua diagram, activate the furnace and throw the herbs in!"

"Is it that simple?" Xu Xixi was a little bit unbelieving.

The old tree man said proudly: "It is that simple, otherwise how can it be called a fairy-grade alchemy furnace?"

The old man spoke with full confidence, so Xu Xixi reluctantly believed him.

Gather the ingredients for two rejuvenation pills, find the low-pain blood collection needle in Xu's father's medicine bag, squeeze out a little blood from your fingertips, enter the space, and apply it on the alchemy furnace.

"Old Tree, you won't have to prick your finger every time you make an elixir, will you?"

The old tree man snorted, "How can that be possible? This is not the first time. Let the furnace recognize its master first. From now on, you can make pills with just a thought."

Xu Xixi felt relieved. Although this drop of blood was not much and it was not very painful to draw blood with a low-pain blood drawing needle, she didn't want to raise a creature that sucked her blood. What if its appetite got bigger one day?

As he spoke, the alchemy furnace, which was originally rusty, slowly emitted a faint light shortly after absorbing the blood beads. Then it became brighter and brighter, and more and more dazzling. The rust on it was also visibly melting away, revealing a golden base color.

Xu Xixi squinted her eyes because of the brightness, so she simply found a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

Through the sunglasses, the alchemy furnace was finally no longer dazzling, but she could still feel the heat radiating from it, which made her face hurt. At the same time, Xu Xixi could also feel that there seemed to be something extra in her mind.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the alchemy furnace slowly rose up and stopped in mid-air, emitting a flickering light.

After throwing the prepared medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, he immediately stepped back a few steps to avoid being burned by the sudden heat from the furnace.

The light from the alchemy furnace seemed to dim after the medicinal materials were added. Xu Xixi took off her sunglasses and didn't feel uncomfortable.

What followed was that the air around the alchemy furnace spread out like vibrating water waves, and after a moment, bursts of medicinal fragrance emanated from the alchemy furnace, and slowly the light and slightly bitter aroma became mellow.

The whole process lasted about two hours. Xu Xixi stared at the alchemy furnace in the air with a nervous expression until the vibration around the furnace weakened. Waves of alchemy fragrance that Xu Xixi had never smelled before wafted over. She just sniffed hard and felt refreshed.

And then, the alchemy furnace, which had gradually calmed down, suddenly began to spin rapidly, getting faster and faster, and in the end only a phantom could be seen.

Is this going to be a pill? Xu Xixi opened her eyes wide and stared at the shadow with anticipation.

The phantom gradually solidified, and the rotation speed of the alchemy furnace gradually slowed down, until it finally hovered in the air and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Bang!" With a sound similar to the cork of a red wine being pulled out, the lid of the alchemy furnace popped open.

Xu Xixi stuck her head and looked inside, and saw more than twenty red, round pills of similar size lying in the furnace.

It turns out that this is the real elixir, which is not comparable to the pills you make yourself.

He reached out to test the temperature of the alchemy furnace and found that it was not as hot as he had imagined, so he reached in and took out the pill.

There are twenty-seven pills in total. Although the pills look very similar in the alchemy furnace, differences are found when they are taken out. Nine of them are bright red, with some faint dark golden patterns on them.

The remaining eighteen were just ordinary red, not as red as the nine. In fact, the red of two of them was quite light.

The old tree man said in his mind: "The nine pills with elixir patterns are top-grade pills, the sixteen red ones are upper-grade pills, and the remaining two light-colored ones are mid-grade pills. Two portions of medicinal materials can produce nine top-grade pills and sixteen upper-grade pills. Although this pill furnace is a fairy-grade product, it can barely be considered a divine tool. Girl, you have picked up a treasure."

Xu Xixi was so happy that her face was dancing with joy. "Grandpa Shu, can I refine more good pills in the future? Things like the Ascension Pill will be no problem at all? I saw there is a pill called the Creation Pill on the pill recipe. If I refine it, will I have spiritual roots?"

In response to Xu Xixi's sudden change of address to polite, the old tree man just snorted coldly: "You wish! Not to mention the modern times when spiritual energy is exhausted, even a few decades ago, some medicinal materials for elixir recipes were extremely difficult to obtain. You still want to refine elixirs? You really dare to think so!"

"We should always have dreams when we are alive, right?" Xu Xixi curled her lips, but what she was thinking in her heart was: The old man in the tree was talking about decades ago, so, could the medicinal herbs that she can't get now be obtained in Dongdong's era?

Even if it's just seeds, if Dongdong plants them in the space, wouldn't she have an endless supply of medicinal herbs?

He traded the elixir, what he wanted to say, and a book of medicinal materials atlas he got from the old tree man to Hua Honeysuckle, and finally encouraged her: Dongdong, whether we can become immortals depends on you!

Hua Rendong and Xia Yu went to the city in the morning. Hua Rendong went alone to get the two people out of the space. Xia Yu pretended that he knew nothing. They sent the people to the bureau together and handed them over to Director Fang.

At noon, they had a small meal in the canteen of the Municipal Bureau. They had braised pork, seared pork slices, braised bones, and stewed cabbage. The two of them ate until their mouths were full of oil.

Director Fang kept asking Hua Jindong to eat, and Xia Yu was so angry when he saw this. "Director Fang, don't try to get close to that girl. I won't give her to you!"

Director Fang glanced at Xia Yu and snorted, "So many delicious dishes can't stop your mouth? When I see Comrade Erhua, it's like seeing my own daughter! How can you understand the heart of an old father like me?"

Xia Yu interrupted: "How come I don't know where your daughter came from? Aren't all three of your family sons?"

Director Fang was so angry that his nose was crooked. "I don't have a daughter, and I'm not allowed to envy others who have daughters? You better shut up!"

Hua Rendong watched the two people bickering with a smile on her face. Who would have thought that this bureau chief who was in charge of the public security of a city would be so approachable in private.

After the meal, Director Fang said that he would apply to the higher authorities for a reward for Hua Rendong for this mission, and asked her to work hard in the future and strive to be awarded a professional title by the end of the year.

Hua Rendong had never thought that the department she joined had any professional titles. When she came out of the cafeteria, she asked Xia Yu, "What professional title do you think I can get now?"

Xia Yu said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The job titles in our department are different from those outside. Salaries are only based on job positions and task rewards, and never on job titles."

Hua Honeysuckle let out a disappointed "oh" and suddenly began to look forward to the day when next month's salary would be sent to her.

Although the salary was definitely not as high as what she earned from going to the black market, it was earned by her own ability in this era, and it was a recognition of her ability. She didn't want her ability to be worth only a hundred yuan in the end.
