In this world, as long as you have strength, you can get the so-called dignity, honor and disgrace. And if a person like Zhou Xing wants to gain the respect of others, he must work a hundred times a thousand times harder than others, just because he is not only
He is weak in strength, and there is no force behind him that can cultivate him into a peerless strong man.
"That's right. I just want to ask, how to get to the nearest town?" Zhou Xing didn't want to refute them. He just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. Although these people had saved his life, he was sure that these people would not be able to refute him at all.
There is no need for his gratitude. To them, his gratitude is probably an empty joke. As for the girl who showed the greatest kindness to him, Zhou Xing was very calm and did not disturb her. First of all, that person was chilled by his sword yesterday.
, he almost coughed up his lungs. When the maid saw her, her tiger eyes widened, as if she wanted to swallow him. Moreover, that kind of person did not need him to repay the kindness of saving his life, and he did not have the ability.
, so he wisely wanted to stay away from these people, because these people were walking into the deep forest, which was shrouded in mist. The more he entered, the more primitive aura hit his face, which was obviously
Few people enter there, and the more no one dares to enter, the more danger there will be. Today, Zhou Xing doesn't think he has the capital to deal with the danger.
"The nearest one is Black Rock City. It takes about ten days to walk east from here, but if you walk south for three days, you can enter the Xuanyun Sect's territory." Zhan Chen was stunned. He didn't expect this person.
He actually wanted to ask for directions, but he still kindly showed him the way, and mentioned Xuanyun Sect seemingly casually. After all, they had already guessed that Zhou Xing might be the unlucky disciple sent by Xuanyun Sect to guard the realm gate.
, but when Xuanyun Sect was mentioned, Zhan Chen didn’t see any changes on Zhou Xing’s face. He seemed to be very unfamiliar with these things. He frowned slightly. Is he really not a disciple of Xuanyun Sect? Zhan Chen thought to himself, it’s just that
Zhou Xing frowned, he didn't expect this town to be so far away from them. He wanted to go to the nearest Xuanyun Sect, but from the eyes of those people, he could see that this Xuanyun Sect seemed to be
It's not a friendly sect.
"Thank you." Zhan Chen's attitude was not very good, but Zhou Xing still thanked him politely.
"Are you leaving?" Zhou Xing just packed up. Of course, he didn't have anything to pack, so he walked toward the east alone. He wanted to go to the town and make other plans, but when he passed by
While driving the exquisite carriage, the maid still stared at Zhou Xing with that angry look, as if Zhou Xing's departure seemed to be a very angry thing for her.
"Girl, I just want to go to the town." Zhou Xing could only smile bitterly, and then explained what he did very politely.
"Don't you want to repay the favor of saving your life?" Well, women are indeed unreasonable people. Zhou Xing was also a little helpless. Although he wanted to repay the favor, after all, he was only a samurai with a low level of cultivation. Compared with this girl
To Huan Huan, he was like a poor ant, as if he could be trampled to death by her at any time. This little maid shouldn't need him.
"Miss, please let me know." Zhou Xing could only say with his hands in hand.
"Look at your behavior. You are as sour as a scholar. Although you are weak, you are not useless. Come and drive the carriage." The maid said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Girl, this carriage doesn't seem to need to be driven." Zhou Xing was stunned again. He didn't expect the maid to make such a request, but he could see that the white horse of this carriage was as agile as a dragon and seemed to have spirituality.
Those in the mercenary group these days know very well that the maid only needs to talk to the horse and she can easily pull the carriage. The white horse is simply more obedient than people and does not need a driver at all.
But they also saw that the little maid wanted to embarrass Zhou Xing, so she made such a request.
"You don't need to rush, don't you need it?" The maid looked at Zhou Xing with a confident expression, as if to say, see if you can act like a cow or a horse for the sake of your savior, and in her eyes, Zhou Xing
Being a cow and a horse beside them seemed to be a great honor. Zhou Xing looked at the maid and raised his head proudly. In the end, he had no choice but to sit on the carriage. The mercenary group also packed up their things and headed towards the carriage.
Heading into the depths of Yanshan Mountain, Zhou Xing usually didn't need to drive him. The white horse seemed to understand the thoughts of the girl sitting in the carriage and headed towards the depths of Yanshan Mountain.
"Miss, no matter what you are looking for, you can't go any further." As expected, Zhou Xing acted honestly in front of the groom. Even in front of the groom, Zhou Xing was absolutely dedicated, but in these three days, he
He never saw the masked girl getting out of the carriage. Sometimes he even thought that the girl was probably no longer in the carriage, and the unruly maid would not disturb her. In his opinion, this was
A pair of strange masters and servants, but this morning, Zhan Chen said he could not move forward. This place was already deep in the Yanshan Mountain, and there was a primitive atmosphere everywhere, as if full of endless dangers, and the towering trees seemed
They all blocked the sunlight in the sky, making the woods look a bit gloomy. The mist was like the yin energy rising from the Nine Netherworld, which made people feel very bad.
"You want to take us to Yuanling Swamp." The arrogant maid frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the words of the leader of the small mercenary team in front of her.
"Miss, go forward from here. Not far away is the Yuanling Swamp. We can only escort you here, and you are absolutely not allowed to go in." Zhan Chen will not go in even if he says it. They are rarely visited these days.
The harassment of wild beasts is not due to their luck, but to their black-robed mercenary group, their familiarity with Yanshan Mountain, and the fact that they carry some medicinal powder to repel beasts. It is probably because of their understanding of the habits of beasts that they choose the best ones.
Otherwise, it would not be surprising to encounter any powerful beast in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, especially the Yuanling Swamp, which is definitely a forbidden land for the human race. Anyone who enters the Yuanling Swamp has never come back alive.
"Don't you want money anymore?" The maid frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhan Chen's attitude. You must know that they are just leading the way, but her lady promised ten times the reward, although those rewards were very insignificant in their eyes.
But for the mercenary group, it is a sky-high price, enough to allow them to have food and drink for three to five years. Originally, few mercenary groups were willing to enter the depths of Yanshan Mountain. After all, they may encounter savage beasts from strong martial artists at any time here, and they can be rewarded heavily.
There must be brave men below, so the black-robed mercenary group accepted the reward and carried out this narrow-death mission. Fortunately, they were well prepared. For this mission, they also spent a lot of money to be able to get here smoothly, but Yuan
The terror in Lingswamp was simply not on the same level as the depths of Yanshan Mountain. They no longer dared to take a step forward.
"Even if we don't need money, we can't move forward any further. Yuanling Swamp is very dangerous." Zhan Chen emphasized the word "very dangerous" very hard because he wanted the maid in front of him to understand that although she was very strong, Zhan Chen didn't think so.
Able to cope with the dangers of Yuanling swamp.
"Okay, let's pay them." A gentle and sweet voice sounded. The maid was stunned for a moment, and then took out a purse from her arms. In the bulging purse, there was only one clear crystal, and that piece
The spar was polished like a rhombus, about the size of a fist. Just seeing the spar, the mercenary team leader's face was very horrified. He didn't expect that the maid would use such a treasure.
"I didn't bring any money, is it okay to just use this thing to pay?" Although the maid asked, her tone did not allow anyone to question her.
"Of course, of course." Zhan Chen nodded excitedly. How important this thing in the maid's mouth is. This kind of thing is called Xuan Jing. It is a crystal stone bred in a place rich in Xuan Qi, so Xuan Jing
The Qi contains extremely pure Xuan Qi, which can be directly absorbed for practice, eliminating the need for conversion, so it can save a lot of time for strong martial arts practitioners. Therefore, this kind of Xuan Qi is quite rare, and of course it is not without it. But in Black Rock City
In such a small city, a low-grade Xuan Crystal is already very rare. This Xuan Crystal is so clean and thorough, it is obviously a middle-grade Xuan Crystal. This is enough to make the entire Black Rock City martial arts cultivators go crazy. This is more than the millions of gold coins they promised previously.
precious.
Gold coins are a universal currency, but some valuable things are also used for currency purposes, such as some rare ores or spiritual materials. However, the most used one is this Xuan Jing. There are even faint signs of Xuan Jing replacing gold coins.
After all, this world is a world of martial arts. I heard that in some prosperous big cities, it has long been popular to use Xuanjing as currency instead of hard currency such as gold coins. Xuanjing is divided into ordinary grade, low grade, medium grade, and high grade.
The top grade, heavenly grade, and ordinary grade generally refer to black crystal ore, which is a defective product dug out from the ground. This kind of black crystal is generally turbid in color, like a ball of muddy water sealed in the crystal, and it absorbs the black crystal ore.
Qi will also be accompanied by some poisonous gas in the crystal, so no one is willing to use this kind of crystal, but it is a mysterious crystal after all, and it is still valuable.
Low-grade crystals, like the crystals that the maid took out, can be absorbed without any problem, but the individual ones are smaller, only about the size of a thumb. Generally, one hundred low-grade Xuan Crystals can be exchanged for one mid-grade Xuan Crystal, while the upper-grade crystals are somewhat
Different, although there is no distinction between high-grade crystals individually, there will be a touch of color in the crystals. The brighter the color, the better the crystals are. They are generally divided into three grades, red crystals as colored as blood, lush as a forest.
Generally speaking, if you want to exchange a medium-grade crystal of the same volume for a red crystal, it will cost you 1,000 yuan, a cyan black crystal will cost 2,000 yuan, and so on, a blue black crystal will cost you 3,000 yuan.
, As for the top-grade Xuan Crystal, it is an extremely rare treasure even in big cities. One top-grade Xuan Crystal requires 10,000 blue top-grade Xuan Crystals, and so on. As for the heavenly grade, it is a golden Xuan Crystal. As for this
Raising a mysterious crystal can be said to be priceless, because no one will exchange a piece of heavenly grade mysterious crystal for another mysterious crystal.
In places like Black Rock City, most of the Xuanjing circulating is ordinary grade. Occasionally, low-grade Xuanjing appears, but they are all taken away by big forces like the City Lord’s Mansion and the Xuanyun Sect. As for the mid-grade Xuanjing, maybe the City Lord’s Mansion and Xuanjing
Yunzong owns it, but this is enough for them to regard this piece of mysterious crystal as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and will not sell it at all. If it is taken to the auction house, let alone millions of gold coins, even a few million is not impossible.
That's why Zhan Chen was so excited. He almost held the Xuan Jing into his arms with trembling hands. The rich Xuan Qi coming from the Xuan Jing seemed to have increased the Xuan Qi in his Qi Sea. This time
Under the circumstances, he became even more excited.
"This, this, beast-repelling powder has been used here to ensure that no wild beasts will disturb you within ten days. Say goodbye." Zhan Chen was excited and incoherent, but he quickly put the Xuan Jing into his arms and gave it to all his teammates.
With a glance, they walked towards the way they came very quickly, and even Zhou Xing was too late to catch up with them.
"Miss, these people really care about money but not people." Watching the right people in black robes exit the woods in an orderly manner, the maid quickly felt dissatisfied and left them here, which made her even more depressed.
The fear of those people had been wiped away long ago after the mysterious crystal appeared. As if they were afraid that they would regret it, they had disappeared completely. After a while, they could no longer be heard moving through the woods.
"Forget it, after all, this is how they make a living." The gentle voice seemed to understand the actions of those people very well.
"Miss, there is Yuanling Swamp ahead, do we want to go in?" Although what those people said made her a little disdainful, but after she stared at the forest of giant trees in front of her, the faint mist seemed to cover a mysterious veil.
, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"You're already here, how can you not come in?" The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the white figure put on a cloak and slowly walked out of the carriage. Although her face was still wearing a white gauze, it could be seen that she was absolutely
She was a beauty with a face that would make a country beautiful, but her body seemed a little weak. She coughed twice when she stepped out of the carriage, but Zhou Xing was ignored by them. Zhou Xing did not ask for trouble, after all.
A weakling like him, since he did not follow those people, must stay. After all, these two people actually knew that there was danger here and dared to come in. They obviously had some confidence.
"Excuse me, should I wait here for you two to come out?" Finally, after the two girls had been planning for about half an hour, Zhou Xing finally spoke. They seemed to have forgotten that there was another person here. If Zhou Xing didn't speak now, he would probably
will be forgotten by the two of them. After all, Zhou Xing seems to be in front of them, with a strong sense of presence, and Zhou Xing only hopes that he can follow these two girls. Although he is reluctant to admit it, now he really needs to rely on these two girls.
Girl protection.
"Why are you still here?" The maid frowned, as if she had already forgotten that Zhou Xing was the groom who was forcibly recruited by her.
"Young girl is so forgetful." Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and said playfully.
"Okay, you'd better follow. After all, we may not be able to get out of here within ten days. If we can't get out within ten days, you will be in trouble." The gentle voice said rather helplessly, for Ya
The girl also knew how Huan brought Zhou Xing in, but she didn't say anything to stop her maid.
