Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 649: The Price of Longevity Pills

Si He leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and lingered in this moment, hoping that this beautiful moment could last longer and longer.

But after a quarter of an hour, she finally decided not to take up his time willfully, because she knew that he still had a lot of things to deal with.

So, while Yue Fuli was handling some complicated official business in the study, she would grind ink for him.

She took the ink stick and slowly ground it on the inkstone. The scent of ink in the room became stronger, almost covering up the fragrance of flowers that came in with the breeze from the window.

The courtyard of this government office is very well maintained. Even in this autumn, there are many flowers blooming. The fragrance of those flowers is elegant, very fragrant and not pungent.

Si He sometimes ground ink for him and sometimes made tea for him.

This place is far away from the hustle and bustle. The only sound is the autumn wind that rustles the branches in the courtyard and makes the curtains rise and fall.

The bright sunlight shines in through the curtains little by little, creating mottled shadows and making the room bright enough to be a little dazzling.

Si He moved her seat and sat quietly in a corner where the sunlight could not reach her.

Yue Fuli glanced at her, and she smiled back at him, a sweet smile.

He also slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and the morning sunlight shone on his eyebrows, revealing some gentleness.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and continued to deal with his affairs.

When a person works seriously, he is actually very charming.

Si He held her chin with one hand and looked at him intently, with admiration in her eyes.

When Yue Fuli calmed down to handle affairs, he was completely different from when he was on the battlefield.

He is calm, handsome, and has a noble temperament. He unconsciously carries a special and powerful aura, and has the unique momentum of a superior who looks down on the world.

In this study filled with bright sunlight, everything is so pleasing to the eye.

But her gaze was too intense, and Yue Fuli couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

He raised his eyes to look at Si He again and said, "I can't do anything if you look at me like that."

His words were calm, revealing a hint of helplessness and seriousness.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I won't look at you."

As Si He spoke, she retracted her gaze, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a sip of tea. It tasted good, sweet, mellow, and had an elegant aroma.

But after a while, her gaze drifted uncontrollably towards Yue Fuli again.

However, she didn't look at it for long this time, because she was afraid of disturbing him.

After putting down the teacup, she leaned back in the chair, facing him, closed her eyes and took a nap. After a while, her breathing became shallow and long.

Yue Fuli looked up again and saw Si He sleeping soundly with her head tilted to one side. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was dreaming of something beautiful.

After a while, Yue Fuli put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked to her side, carefully carried her to a recliner not far away, and then took a blanket and gently covered her.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he stared at her for a long time, his eyes deep.

It was not until the sudden sound of birds singing was heard outside the window that Yue Fuli withdrew his gaze and returned to his desk to continue processing his work, but at a faster speed than before.

After three days of such peaceful days, Yue Fuli finally found time to take her out for a walk.

Now that the city is peaceful, it has slowly regained its former bustle, with many more vendors and pedestrians in the streets and alleys.

The two of them sat in a carriage, planning to go to Ruyuan Tower in the city. It was said that today was the day for an auction, and there were many good things.

However, it was not that Si He wanted to buy something, but she wanted to see the current situation of the longevity pill in the market. It was said that there would be an auction of the longevity pill in Ruyuan Tower this time, so today was particularly lively, and many wealthy people came.

According to recent investigations, Chang Ling did not return to Yue Hejiang, but has been staying in the Chen family in Qingzhou. His intentions are unclear, but there are more and more longevity pills on the market recently.

The group of Taoists who had previously raised the ghost baby in the Guo family also went to Qingzhou more than half a month ago, and the evil corpse disappeared with it. However, it was difficult to find out where they went, so they had to give up for the time being.

Si He even suspected whether Chang Ling was behind this. After all, it was too coincidental that those Taoists went to Qingzhou. But these things can only be seen later.

In the carriage, Si He leaned on Yue Fuli's shoulder, looking at the information about the longevity pills in her hand. It recorded the reactions of some seriously ill people after taking the longevity pills after some wealthy families bought them.

For example, after an old man in a family took this medicine, he who was originally bedridden could sit up and his spirits improved.

For example, a grandmother of a certain family was on the verge of death, but after taking the longevity pill, her condition stabilized and her complexion improved.

For example, the master of a family fell ill suddenly and fell into a coma for several days. Then after he dissolved the longevity elixir in water and fed it to the master, he quickly woke up.

There are many such examples, all of which have significant effects, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are panaceas. After all, many doctors are helpless in treating these diseases, and even the "miracle doctors" with superb medical skills cannot do this.

As a result, the longevity elixir became the subject of the most intense competition in a very short period of time.

Not to mention other places, just in Guang'an City, the longevity pills have been auctioned three times in Ruyuan Tower, with ten pills sold each time and bought by major families.

Although this elixir is in great demand, there are different rules for the auction. It is more like a lottery than an auction, depending on who has better luck.

Ruyuan Tower marked the price of the Longevity Pill at one thousand and two taels of silver per pill. This price was a huge sum for ordinary people, but it was nothing for wealthy families. You should know that the selling price on the black market was much higher than this price, and it was not uncommon for it to be sold at more than ten times. However, since this thing was so popular and rare, most people would not resell it easily.

Especially for wealthy families who are not short of money, this pill is simply a life-saving miracle drug, and no one can have too much.

In Ruyuan Building, people without certain status are not eligible to participate in the lottery sales.

This sales method is actually relatively open and conscientious. After all, one pill is only sold for one thousand and two taels of silver. It is not an ordinary auction where the highest bidder wins.

The main thing is that this is a pill that can be sold sustainably, and it also emphasizes steady and long-term sales without offending anyone.

But to this day, the identity of the alchemist behind this has not been circulated on the market. Perhaps some people know it, but it has not been spread.

Si He was a little surprised when she saw the various messages written on the paper. The longevity pill that diluted the spiritual essence content was quite effective. It seemed that Chang Ling had a relatively good control over the spiritual essence content.
