Chapter 263 Green Pine Forest
If it is intercepted on land, Shen Dao may find some clues with his extraordinary five senses, but this happened on the water. Any smell will be washed away once it encounters water, and he can do nothing.
"It's okay if other things in that batch of goods are lost, and a batch of red snake grass is also lost. These damn water bandits!" Ma Zhanguan's eyes showed resentment.
"Red snake grass? It's a spiritual herb that looks like a red snake and contains highly poisonous? I remember this grass is just an ordinary spiritual material. It can only be used to refine a few poisons, and it's not very precious." Chen Luoluo saw the records of this grass in the classics, hesitated for a moment and said.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is not only proficient in talisman art, but also has research on alchemy. You are right. Ordinary red snake grass is just a kind of secluded spiritual material. But what I bought this time in Lubaotang is the double-pointed red snake grass. Although it contains highly poisonous, it also has a unique vitality and spiritual power. It is the main spiritual material of the Ningyuan Pill, which is very precious." Manager Ma looked at Chen Luo in a little surprised, and then continued to say in an indignant voice.
"Father, since the things are lost, it is useless to think about them any more. Let's take it easy." Ma Xiuxiu walked over with a cup of tea and put them to Shen Luo's hand, saying comfortably.
Manager Ma nodded helplessly and sighed.
"Ningyuan Dan?"
Chen Luo thought of something and blurted out and asked.
He once saw records about Ningyuan Pills in Fangcunshan's classics, which were a kind of elixir that assisted in breaking through the fasting period.
Recently, he has been practicing quite smoothly because of his experience in his dreams. While he was excited, he has also increased his ambitions and is no longer satisfied with the Qi Refining Period. He also wants to advance to the fasting period to obtain a longer life and stronger strength.
In the past few days, while still drawing talismans, I also entered the Bai family's library to read some books about breaking through the fasting period, and gained a deeper understanding of the difficulties of this level. Talent, fortune, financial resources, and mind are indispensable. None of them can be found in a fasting period for a 100 cultivators in the Qi Refining Period.
Although he had a breakthrough experience in his dream, he was entirely thanks to his qualifications. With his real qualifications, he was far inferior to those in his dreams. It is hard to say whether those experiences work.
But no matter what, he didn't plan to give up!
"The Ningyuan Pill is a precious pill that can assist in breaking through the fasting period, which can increase the success rate by 10% or 20%." Seeing the sunken expression, Ma Zhangguan thought he did not know the effect of the Ningyuan Pill, and explained.
"Only one or two cities will increase the success rate?" Chen Luo frowned slightly.
"This is already very high. It is difficult to break through the two major difficulties in the fasting period. It is extremely difficult to liquefy mana and open up magic veins, and it requires high talent. Unfortunately, those double-pointed red snake grasses were taken away. If they could be refined into the Condensation Pill, their value would immediately increase by more than ten times." Ma Zhangguan sighed regretfully.
"Ma Zhanzhu has a way to refine the Condensation Pill? I want to buy one, but I wonder if I can help?" Chen Luo looked surprised and bowed to Ma Zhanzhu.
"This..." The old manager Ma blushed and he was stammering and couldn't speak.
"Brother Shen, don't listen to my father's nonsense. He has no way to refine the Ningyuan Dan. This time he bought the Double-pointed Red Snake Grass to exchange for some items with others. The Ningyuan Dan is extremely precious. Only a few large sects can refine it. There is no alchemist in Jianye City who can refine this pill. As for Ningyuan Dan, there is only the government and the three major families in Jianye City that have a little inventory, but they control it extremely strictly and will not fall outside." Ma Xiuxiu continued Ma Zhanji and said so.
Manager Ma scratched his head and smirked.
When Chen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
But he was not disappointed. He said that he could buy anything in the ghost market, and there should be a Ningyuan Pill selling it there.
"Ma Zhan Guest, how much is a fairy jade worth at the market price?" He asked after pondering slightly.
"This pill has always been priceless and cannot be bought at all. I remember that a few years ago, the Lin family once bought one from the government and spent eighty pieces of immortal jade." The manager Ma hesitated and said.
"Eighty Immortal Jade..." Chen Luo frowned.
He worked hard to do tasks in the past few days and drew talismans. The number of immortal jade in his hand has accumulated more than 60 yuan, which is more than ten yuan away from eighty. This number is not too much or too little. He just doesn't have much time left for himself, so he needs to hurry up.
"Thank you, Manager Ma, for telling me that there is still something to do, so I will leave first." Chen Luo did not wait for this for a long time and said goodbye and left.
Time flies quickly, and the day when the ghost market opens is coming soon.
"But I finally waited for this day." Shen Luo's hand gently stroked the stone box on the table, hugged it with a piece of green cloth, and carried it on his back.
He did not waste any time in this month, and devoted all his energy to earning immortal jade. Finally, he earned a total of eighty immortal jade yesterday.
Not only the fairy jade, Shen Luo stuffed all the valuable things on his body into the stone box.
The sky outside was already dark, and he stood up and left Bai Mansion, and soon turned over and out of the city.
During this period, he had already found someone to find out the location of the green pine forest mentioned by the Hunhunmao. As soon as he left the city, he walked west along a small river outside the city.
This river is a branch of Lishuihe. It goes straight westward and you can reach the green pine forest by walking along the river.
It's still early now, so there is no rush to sink.
Half an hour later, the winding stream finally came to an end, and a lush green pine forest also appeared in front of it.
"Is it here?" He looked a little happy and walked in, his pupils shrank slightly.
There are tombs standing in the pine forest, and it turns out to be a cemetery.
If an ordinary person suddenly walked to a cemetery late at night, he would probably be scared to death, but many real ghosts have been killed these days, so he naturally would not be afraid of mere cemeteries.
"The ghost market and the cemetery are in line." Chen Luo smiled faintly, took out the ghost mask and put it on his face, took a deep breath, and walked into the green pine forest.
This green pine forest is not large in area, only seven or eight acres of land. Most of the places are covered by tombs. Walking in it, you always feel that the temperature is a little lower than outside. The sometimes wild cats screamed, even worsening the gloomy place.
Chen Luo ignored this and moved a little bit of the slanted moon step, and soon finished a circle, but unfortunately nothing unusual happened.
"It seems that it will take until midnight before the ghost market will appear." Chen Luo murmured to himself, and did not walk out of the cemetery. He sat down with a green pine back on his back and waited quietly.
After sitting for half an hour, his expression suddenly changed. He quietly stood up and squatted on the ground, hiding his body behind the pine trees, and looking out of the pine forest.
A sound of light footsteps came from there, but a gray figure walked over quickly. He was quite tall, wearing a wide gray robe, a hood on his head, a tightly wrapped body, and a mask on his face.
A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Luo's eyes. The man was wearing a ghost mask.
