On the bumpy mountain road, a large carriage was being pulled forward by two horses. The horses' hooves were flying and dust and smoke were everywhere.
In front of the carriage was a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest, holding the reins in his hand and constantly spurring the horse.
In the carriage, Zheng Chen was bandaging his wounds. In the previous fight, the fat boss of the carriage shop took a pill that forcibly enhanced his strength. Although he failed to defeat Zheng Chen, he also suffered some flesh injuries.
.
However, to Zheng Chen, this flesh wound was nothing. Compared with the injury he suffered when he entered the monster forest, it was too minor and only required external application of some golden sore medicine.
"My little brother is already in the spirit-gathering stage at such a young age, and has the strength in the late stage of acupuncture. The Luoxia Gate is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. I can't help but admire you!"
"That's right, that's right, like me and other casual cultivators, although we have the opportunity to practice, but there is no famous teacher to guide us, we can only practice like a blind man touching an elephant. Not only is it difficult to increase the speed, but it is also very dangerous and cannot compare with the disciples of famous sects.
.”
"Hey, there's no way around it. Why do we have such poor qualifications that it's hard for us to get into the eyes of experts from big sects!"
"However, we are not without masters among the casual cultivators. I wonder if the original generation of genius Yuwen Tiangang was also a casual cultivator. He could also become a tyrannical figure at the level of an Immortal Emperor. It is said that he even defeated an Immortal Lord."
"Not to mention Yuwen Tiangang, after all, he was a legendary figure many years ago. Even recently, there are many masters in the casual cultivators who are famous, such as Senior Xia Yan, who single-handedly destroyed the Lingnan Demon Sect some time ago.
It is said that his old man already has the strength of the late Immortal Sect, and he can reach the position of Immortal Emperor if he takes a step further."
"Senior Xia Yan is an expert in casual cultivation, but after all, he has been practicing for countless years. But you know that Fairy Zi Yan, the younger generation of monks who has been in the limelight recently among our casual cultivation, has become a master in less than a hundred years.
Now that she has reached the Immortal Stage, she competed with Liu Meng, an outstanding disciple of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, and won a battle some time ago. You know, the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect is a big sect, even if it is only stronger than the Luoxia Sect.
, Liu Meng, as one of the top masters of the younger generation of Wanhua Sect, has the cultivation level of a middle-level immortal, as well as the sect's high-level magic weapons and elixirs. Fairy Ziyan can defeat Liu Meng, but for us, San Shang is not that good.
Losing face."
"It's a pity. It is said that Fairy Ziyan and Liu Meng are both peerless beauties. Their battle attracted countless talented people from the cultivation world to watch. I rushed there in a hurry, but by the time I got there, they would have already beaten me.
It’s over.”
"Tch! With your level of cultivation, the fairy can kill ten thousand of you with one slap. Their battles are fought at high altitudes. Even if you catch up, can you fly to the sky to watch?"
…
In the carriage, several monks chattered endlessly about anecdotes about the world of cultivation, while Zheng Chen smiled silently and listened quietly. It is undeniable that Zheng Chen is really not as good as these few in terms of experience in walking in the world of cultivation.
A monk with a low cultivation level, Zheng Chen had never heard of the character in their words before. However, it was really touching to hear that Fairy Ziyan could become a fairy-level master in less than a hundred years.
Under normal circumstances, it takes fifty years for a monk to cultivate from the Soul Gathering Stage to the Golden Core Stage. It also takes about twenty years for a talented person. Only a few geniuses can complete this period of cultivation in a few years or more than ten years. For example,
That's what He'er is like; and it takes longer to cultivate from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. Most monks don't have a hundred years to get to the Nascent Soul stage. Even a genius will need about fifty years;
As for cultivating from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Immortal Stage, it is even longer. It is said that it takes more than five hundred years for a normal monk to do so, and it must always go smoothly.
However, the cultivation world is so vast that there are countless strange people, and there is never a shortage of geniuses, and geniuses are also divided into three, six, and nine levels. He'er can be considered a genius, but she probably has no hope of advancing to the immortal level within a hundred years.
You must know that such geniuses are rare among Luoxiamen's countless years of inheritance.
Of course, even with Fairy Zi Yan's cultivation speed, she may not be considered a peerless genius, and although she is a casual cultivator, she definitely has an expert master behind her.
Listening to the stories of several monks, Zheng Chen felt more and more that walking in the world of cultivation was really aspirational. He looked forward to meeting master hermits, entering the ancient immortal cave, and obtaining peerless secrets...
While several monks were chatting and laughing, time passed by slowly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was getting dark, and the two horses pulled the carriage to the group's destination - Zhengyangfang City.
It originally required two or three steps, but it only took a few hours to complete the journey. I have to say that the speed of the horse in the carriage was amazing. Of course, if a master of the Golden Core stage flew with a sword, it would probably not take an hour to complete the trip.
Wangxia Town rushed to Zhengyangfang City.
After placing the carriage in the horse post at the entrance of Fangshi, Zheng Chen and the monks entered Zhengyangfang City, and then they separated and walked separately. We were not from the same place, even though there were some exchanges of words along the way, but
After all, there is no friendship at all, and everyone has their own things to do, so naturally they won't be together all the time.
As for the carriage, the monks no longer need it. They have no plans to go to Wangxia Town again in the near future. After discussion, they decided that Zheng Chen would drive the carriage on his return trip and just return the carriage to the carriage house before returning to Luoxia Gate.
.
Zhengyangfang City covers an area of about four or five square kilometers, which is not very large. After all, within the sphere of influence of Luoxia Sect, there are not many casual cultivators, and there are only a few small sects. If it were not for the proximity of monsters,
The forest is probably difficult to develop at all, but it is the proximity to the Monster Forest that makes the things sold here worth waiting for. After all, many precious medicinal materials and spiritual essences of heaven and earth have been produced here, even if it is the Luoxia Sect.
Some experts from the inside sect often come here to search for treasures, and occasionally get unexpected gains.
After walking on the streets of Fangshi for nearly half an hour, Zheng Chen did not take action and kept looking for stalls selling Peiyuan Pills. However, he found that most of the monks here were below the Soul Gathering Stage, with less than 100%.
Ten out of ten monks are in the Soul Gathering Stage, and as for the monks at the Golden Core Stage and above, it is almost difficult to see them. Of course, even if the Golden Core Stage monks are in front of Zheng Chen, he cannot tell their strength.
On both sides of the streets in Fangshi, there are many monks setting up stalls, and most of the items they sell are talismans, ores and other low-level immortal cultivation materials, and most of them are bartered.
After seeing several transactions, Zheng Chen was surprised to find that most of the transactions here were actually completed with money. As for rare things like spiritual stones, he had never seen one at all.
Although monks don't care about money, after all, their cultivation level is not high, they still need to eat and drink, and most of them have been walking in the world, and they even have mortal relatives to support. Naturally, they need a lot of money, and they are not considered real until they reach the spirit gathering period.
A monk is not much different from an ordinary person until he reaches the golden elixir stage. Only when he reaches the golden elixir stage can he enter the palace during his cultivation. Only when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage can he be regarded as an ordinary strong person. After the Nascent Soul stage, there will be a long journey.
life.
After wandering around Zhengyangfang City for an hour, the sky has turned completely dark. Most of the monks here have not yet reached the point where they can see the night as day. Even though there are decent lights on both sides of the street, most of the monks have closed their stalls, leaving only a few shops inside.
Still open for business.
In the city, the busiest places during the day are the stalls on both sides of the street, while at night there are restaurants, casinos and other popular places. Although it is Xiuxianfang City, it is the same as an ordinary town at night. The life of the lay people still makes many monks
Lingering and forgetting to leave.
Without the dazzling stalls, Zheng Chen lost some interest in shopping and went directly to the shops selling elixirs. Since it was close to the monster forest, the demand for elixirs was huge, so even at night, the drug store
The business is still very prosperous, but the items with the largest transaction volume are Hui Ling Dan and Golden Sore Medicine.
When entering the monster forest to hunt, the probability of getting injured is too high, which requires a large amount of golden sore medicine. When fighting monsters, one's skill is also consumed very quickly, and the Soul Recovery Pill can help monks quickly recover their skill.
The golden sore medicine is not considered an elixir, it is of no quality, and is not considered precious. Most pharmacies have a lot of them in stock. The panacea was a first-grade elixir, and its price was much higher than that of the golden sore medicine, but it could also be bought with money.
As for the Peiyuan Pill, although it is a first-class elixir like the Huiling Pill, the price is more than ten times more expensive, and each drug store has a small stock. It is even difficult to buy it with money. Of course, it does not require a spiritual pill.
In exchange for stone treasures that are difficult for low-level monks to obtain, most shops can exchange first-grade elixirs for Peiyuan Dan, or you can exchange them for jade stones with a little spiritual energy.
Comparing jade and spiritual stones is like comparing copper coins to gold, they are not on the same level at all.
In the past, Zheng Chen had only heard of the existence of Fang City, but had never been there, let alone traded. This time, he gained a lot of knowledge by wandering around Zhengyang Fang City, and at the same time, he felt a lot more relaxed. After all,
He has a lot of money, and he also has a lot of jade stones with spiritual energy, which were all left to him by his previous master.
The reason why master Ge Shan left so much money and jade to him was to leave a way out for him. After all, the chance of him being sent to secular industry by Luoxia Sect was too high, and for the identity of an outer sect Yifeng deacon elder,
It is said that it is extremely easy for Geshan to get some jade and money. You must know that Geshan, with his cultivation level in the spirit gathering stage, can even possess spirit stones.
Within Luoxia Sect, unless you are a very outstanding disciple, or a direct disciple of an important figure, it is impossible to have spirit stones during the Spirit Gathering Stage. Although Luoxia Sect also has a vein of spirit stones, the annual output is not
There is not much, and it is barely enough to supply the masters of the inner sect and the powerful ones of the outer sect. How can there be any excess for ordinary disciples who are not strong in cultivation? If it is given to them, it will be difficult for them to absorb and use it.
After wandering around for two hours, Zheng Chen stopped at a drug store with a fairly good business. The clerk heard that he wanted to buy Pei Yuan Dan. He took a good look at it first. After seeing the Luoxiamen badge on Zheng Chen's chest,
Just then he was brought into the back room.
Zheng Chen could naturally tell that the boy was afraid that he would not be able to afford the jade to buy Peiyuan Dan because he was young, but he did not mind. When he got to the back room, he saw an old man, who must be from the store.
Shopkeeper.
The old man also observed Zheng Chen for a moment, and then said with a smile: "My friend, please sit down, this Peiyuan Pill is the best among the first-class pills. On weekdays, the deacons and elders of your family come to buy it in person.
Our pharmacy has been cooperating with Guimen for many years. I wonder how many Peiyuan Pills you want to buy this time?"
Zheng Chen was not polite. After sitting down, he pondered for a while and said, "Mr., please tell me the price first."
The old shopkeeper thought Zheng Chen was testing whether the price was fair, but Zheng Chen wanted to use the price to judge how much he could buy. Zheng Chen naturally needed a lot of Pei Yuan Dan.
The shun meridians that had been penetrated three times were used for the fourth time with spiritual power. Two Pei Yuan Pills were used, and it was not enough. The reverse meridians had not been penetrated once before, and at least ten Pei Yuan Pills were needed to do so.
Yuandan.
"Haha, my little friend is also a disciple of the Luoxia Sect. Of course, I won't lie to you about this price. I will also pay the price that the deacons and elders of your sect usually come to buy the Peiyuan Pill. One Peiyuan Pill costs ten yuan of warm jade and a hundred taels.
Just silver." The old shopkeeper smiled kindly and then quoted the price.
Zheng Chen nodded slightly and asked in other stores. The prices elsewhere were indeed much more expensive than what the shopkeeper said, and with the jade and silver he had, he could buy eight Peiyuan Pills.
Without wasting any time, Zheng Chen first took out the jade and silver needed to purchase eight Pei Yuan Pills, then took out four first-level elixirs, and completed the transaction with the old shopkeeper to purchase ten Pei Yuan Pills.
After the transaction was completed, Zheng Chen was about to leave, but then turned back and asked the shopkeeper: "Can we collect medicinal materials here?"
