Following the flow of people, Liu Xiao walked on the bustling streets.

On both sides, beautiful men and women can be seen everywhere twisting their waists, singing and dancing.

Everyone was rushing towards the center of the city. Liu Xiao, who originally wanted to get into the house, was also pushed forward by the crowd.

A piece of green lake water is the end point of the flow of people.

The layers of scaly waves rise with the wind, and with the jumping brilliance, they transform into vivid dancers, dancing in the air to the bright rhythm of drums.

This is Qiling City, the largest human city-state closest to the Purple Green Forest. Before coming here, Liu Xiao had no idea what the characteristics of Qiling City were.

Now, he finally understood that the reason why this city is famous far and wide and has become the core of the fifteen surrounding cities is not because of its unique advantages, but because of human beings' pursuit and love of art and beauty.

It is said that almost all the most famous singers and dancers in human fan circles come from this city.

The drumming stopped, and the humanoid dancers on the lake controlled by water source skills slowly fell back to the water.

The lakeside was crowded with hundreds of thousands of eager spectators, but at this moment there was no sound. It must be said that the quality of these people is not generally high.

The ethereal and melodious singing sounds from far to near.

Just one sentence has already captured the heartstrings of everyone present.

There was a lingering sound, and a white crane flew over the heads of the crowd, slowly flapping its wings and circling gracefully over the blue lake.

Dozens of dancers dressed in pale pink neon feathers rise with the wind, agile and elegant, like dawn lotuses dancing lightly among the water clouds, swaying. Soft and graceful, they dance each and every sweet dance that makes people's hearts soar.

Dreamland. It seems like a dream and seems real, but seems like reality but not a painting.

The water sleeves were fluttered, and countless exquisite stars seemed to be floating down, swaying, and falling into the extremely excited crowd.

There is a woman sitting on the white crane. She is wrapped in gauze and her face is covered by light silk. Her face cannot be seen clearly. Her eyebrows are delicate and moving, and her big watery eyes are as clear as a water hibiscus. She is stunningly beautiful.

The song is like moving clouds and flowing water, allowing people to put away their worries and swim in it. It is also like surging waves and waves, beating you and expressing the emotions settled in your heart. In an instant, you will feel that the sound of the cicada is like a wild wave rushing through the sand.

It snatches away the light sorrow that you hold tightly in your hand.

If you listen carefully, a deep yet ethereal feeling will immediately occupy your heart, as if all the hustle and bustle has gone away, leaving only this heavenly sound.

The woman on the white crane should be the performer of this song.

The singing died down and finally stopped. After a brief silence, deafening shouts erupted around Bihu, followed by long-lasting applause.

What Liu Xiao didn't expect the most was that people threw a red crystal stone into the lake!

Is this...?a reward?

With nothing in his hands, Liu Xiao did not prepare this kind of crystal in advance, so he could only regretfully spend this wonderful performance in vain.

The song is not finished yet, and people will not leave until the song ends.

No one around moved out of their seats. Obviously, the song and dance performance here was not over yet.

There are strict laws in Jiling City that prohibit living beings other than dancers and actors from flying in the air.

I had no choice but to say sorry and squeeze out of the crowd.

It’s not that the singing is not beautiful enough, nor that the dancing is not graceful enough, it’s just that Liu Xiao doesn’t know how to appreciate it. So there is a reason why he has been single for more than 20 years. As long as he has some pursuit of the quality of life and some research on romance, he will not still be

A single dog.

Liu Xiao's idea is quite simple. Take advantage of the fact that most of the people in the city are gathered here and go shopping quickly! Otherwise, it will be painful when everyone disperses at the end of the song and every room will be overcrowded.

There are eight main streets in Jiling City, which lead straight from the eight city gates to Bihu Lake in the center of the city.

After finally squeezing out and entering the main street called Jinghong, I found that only a few of the hundreds of houses had their doors open. The owners were still standing outside their doors, craning their necks and looking toward the center.

Moreover, the names of these character houses are unprecedented, such as Yinziwu, Songziwu, Leziwu, Shangziwu, Guziwu...

At first glance, I didn't recognize anyone.

After asking an impatient house owner, he found out that only one of the eight main streets had the house Liu Xiao was looking for, and the others were related to singing, dancing and music.

Okay, okay, after all, Qiling City is a characteristic city with clear development discoveries, so it is completely understandable that it would be arranged like this.

Weaving through alleys and narrow streets, we soon found a street called Cloud Gate.

Unlike other main streets that are crowded with people, the shops here are basically open for business, and there is also some sparse passenger flow on the street.

Yes, this is the familiar taste.

I first visited several calligraphy houses and asked about the price, and finally settled on a white-haired old man who looked knowledgeable. There were not many older people at the origin. It was rare to find one, so he must have lived a long life.

Long enough, he is the kind of old immortal who eats more salt than I eat rice.

Of course, Liu Xiao would not say that. The main reason is that this old man charges the lowest price. The appraisal price of medicine and pills only costs 1 crystal per time.

Some absent-minded old men seemed to be still listening to the singing in the distance. When they were distracted, the table in front of them was already piled with pharmaceutical crystal bottles, pills, powders, ointments, essences and poisons.

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched unnaturally, and he raised his eyes to look at Liu Xiao.

He swallowed and pointed at the things on the table.

"all?"

Liu Xiao smiled and nodded.

The old man stood up and went to the pool on one side. He stretched out his hands and dipped them in the water. After wiping them dry, he sat back down with a solemn expression.

At this time, his face was full of solemnity and he had a rather noble demeanor.

He picked up a bottle of medicine, held it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, then shook it to see how sticky the liquid was, then pulled out the stopper and smelled it.

After this set of operations, Liu Xiao instantly had the illusion of returning to a high school chemistry experiment class.

"Breathing water."

The old man said in a deep voice, and attached a sticker to the bottle very responsibly.

Look! This is called professionalism!

"What is the effect of breath astringent water?"

Liu Xiao asked by the way.

"Condensing your breath can make your breathing invisible to perception skills such as wind movement and sky shaking."

The owner of the house took his time and picked up the next bottle.

...

The 62nd bottle of medicine has been identified.

The old man wiped the sweat from his cheeks and drank a glass of water to moisten his throat.

It’s not easy. There are large quantities and varieties, and you also have to introduce the effects of medicines to customers. This appraisal work is also hard-earned money.

After stretching his muscles and bones for the seventh time, the owner of the house sat down again, cheered up, and looked at the remaining nearly a hundred bottles of medicine.

He must have some regrets. He agreed too hastily. He didn't expect that a boy dressed as a college student would actually take out so many things for appraisal.

"Householder, the appraisal fee for each bottle of potion will be increased by half a pill. However, during this process, you need to explain to me the main materials required to refine these potions, is that okay?"

Liu Xiao wanted to ask questions several times just now, but seeing that the old man was silent and too serious the whole time, he didn't feel embarrassed to ask.

"feasible!"

The owner of the house was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "However, I can only identify the category and grade of some potions, but I don't know much about the main ingredients in the formula. I don't need to calculate the half of the energy crystal at that time."

Reliable, the old man is still very professional.

It seems that I have found the wrong person.

"This is a bottle of Tibetan incense. After use, the smell of the whole body will not leak out. The main ingredients are Shouzhu, Huiluan and Yulian. Tibetan incense is only a preliminary potion and cannot be used as a high-quality product."

The old man spoke eloquently and concisely.

Liu Xiao was quite familiar with the profession of appraisal. When he first started the Origin Trial, he chose this aspect of knowledge. It can be said that this is an industry that relies on knowledge, erudition, observation and memory for a living.

After coming to Sloan, I gained a new understanding of appraisals. Different appraisers also have their own areas of expertise. For example, in this Chinese calligraphy house, the logo of a pharmacy will be engraved on the outside of the house, indicating that what the owner is good at is pharmacy.

class knowledge.

The reason why he wanted to know what the main ingredients for refining different potions were, was mainly because he had read many books left by Cang Lan, most of which were related to the characteristics of herbal medicines. Liu Xiao hoped to combine this knowledge with pharmacy.

, this will not only deepen understanding, but also make the level of knowledge more three-dimensional. If you encounter some key herbs in the wild later, at least you will not miss them easily.

Regarding the levels of potions, instructor Shi Lan had a few chats in his class. Perhaps because they were not easily accessible, he did not go into detail. Liu Xiao only knew that potions, pills, and essences were refined.

The things are divided into junior, middle and high levels. The recovery and strengthening potions for daily use are basically at the elementary level. Only after you become an envoy can you have access to the intermediate potions, and the high-end potions are at the top level.

Grades are also easy to understand. Depending on the level of the alchemist, the purity and medicinal properties of the main and auxiliary materials, the control of the fire, and the quality of the refining equipment, the finished products will naturally have good or bad grades, with high or low purity, so

There are grades to measure the efficacy of medicine.
