"We're still waiting inside. It's up to you to do such a difficult thing as communicating with others!" Bai Lin said.
"Okay, I'll sneak in myself, and I'll take Xiao Jin in later." Qin Ruo thought for a moment and said.
"Xiao Jin must not be exposed. There is no cultivator who is not jealous." Bai Lin nodded.
After eating something, Qin Ruo took Bai Lin, Xiangzi and Xiaojin into the pagoda, and then headed towards Zongheng City. He was very interested in this city with hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
One day later, Qin Ruo saw the towering Zongheng City, with walls seven or eight feet high.
The seven or eight-foot-high city wall extended in all directions. Qin Ruo nodded, knowing that this was indeed a big project. For such a large city, it would require a lot of manpower and material resources to build such walls on all sides.
At the same time, Qin Ruo also understood why land and residence rights in the city were in such short supply. It would be very difficult to destroy the city wall and break in if it were not a monster that defied the heavens.
Following the flow of people, Qin Ruo walked towards the city gate. There were sentries standing guard at the city gate, checking people coming in and out.
Qin Ruo saw that everyone who entered had handed over black round objects, what should he do if he didn't? After thinking about it, Qin Ruo took out a small bottle and filled it with a few Pei Yuan Pills.
"Stop, you need to pay ink coins to enter the city and take out your identity document." A guy with a seventh-level earth warrior cultivation level called Qin Ruo.
"I'm sorry. I was in a hurry when I went out and didn't bring any ink coins. Can I use these?" Qin Ruo took out the Peiyuan Pills he had just prepared and handed over two of them.
"What's the mess? Oh, this is fine." The sentry was originally very impatient, but when he noticed that Qin Ruo took out pills to assist in cultivation, his attitude suddenly changed.
"In addition, I ran away when I met a monster and lost my identity approval document. Can you help me get a new one?" Qin Ruo planned to solve the problems of entering the city and identity at once.
After listening to Qin Ruo's words, the sentry began to look at Qin Ruo carefully. At the critical moment, Qin Ruo took out the small bottle he had prepared and fiddled with it in his hand.
"Okay, wait a minute, I will get an approval document, but the name is different from yours. Remember to get a new approval document when you go back this time." The sentry took out an approval document and handed it to Qin Ruo.
The sentry was very excited. Just in the morning, there was a guy who was making trouble at the city gate. After he and his men killed him, he still had not handed in the approval document.
Qin Ruo took the approval document and handed the bottle containing six Peiyuan Pills to the sentry at the same time, and then entered the city.
The most difficult thing for Qin Ruo is to sneak into Zongheng City, because his identity cannot be seen in the light. With the identity approval, the remaining problems are not big. As for the Peiyuan Pill, it is not much different from rubbish to Qin Ruo.
.
After entering the city, Qin Ruo looked around. He still didn't understand what was going on in Zongheng City. He needed to understand it first.
After walking for a while, Qin Ruo saw some stalls and shouts, they were all selling monster beasts, animal skins, bird and animal meat, etc.!
While walking and observing, Qin Ruo understood that the currency circulating here is ink coins and ink crystals. A wild boar can be sold for five ink coins, and a pure white demon fox skin costs 200 ink coins, which is two ink crystals.
What do you want to sell? Qin Ruo is a little bit pained. All he has is the elixir, and the other is bear meat and bear skin. He will not sell the golden bear skin. Who knows what the bear meat is when he takes it out?
People sell wild boar meat with the skin on, and when you take the bear meat yourself, it’s all prepared, and there’s no sign of it without the skin.
At this time, Qin Ruo heard the sound of selling wine and went over to take a look. The stall owner enthusiastically let Qin Ruo have a taste. Qin Ruo was dressed in clean cloth and obviously had a higher status than the businessman wearing animal skins.
Bad wine! After taking a sip, Qin Ruo shook his head. Not only was it not as strong as the wine, but it also had a spicy smell.
"This wine is not good." Qin Ruo shook his head and left.
Five or six miles away from the liquor stall, Qin Ruo thought for a while and decided that if he didn't drink liquor, he could sell some liquor and exchange it for some Mo Jing.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qin Ruo had a change of thought and took out five bottles of Maotai from the storage ring.
"The best wine is on sale, the one with the highest price will get it." Qin Ruo opened a bottle of Maotai and shouted loudly.
As the bottle is opened, the smell of wine wafts out.
"What kind of wine is this?" The smell of wine wafted out, and many people gathered around.
"Brewed using the ancestral brewing method, I lost Mo Jing because I met a monster on the road and ran away in a hurry. Now the highest bidder will get these bottles." Qin Ruo took out a bottle of Moutai and put it in front of him and said.
"Three Mo Crystals." A man said.
"How about three black crystals or ten black crystals for such a fine wine?" Another man spoke.
Qin Ruo didn't interrupt and just watched others bid. He didn't care about a few bottles of Maotai. The key was to be able to sell some Mo Jing to survive in Zongheng City.
The last old man offered forty black crystals, which silenced the other bidders. Forty black crystals equaled four thousand black coins.
"Then this bottle of wine belongs to this old man. Come on, let's bid on the next bottle." Qin Ruo handed one bottle to the old man, then took out another bottle from behind and said.
"Don't shout yet. I'll taste it first to see how it tastes." The old man took the wine bottle from Qin Ruo's hand, opened it, took a sip, and then closed his eyes to reflect.
"Old senior, is this worth the money?" Qin Ruoke knew very well the difference between the drinks in Maotai and Zonghengcheng.
"Yes, I want these five bottles. Here are two hundred black crystals. Count them." The old man threw a bag to Qin Ruo, and the bag made a clattering sound.
After opening it and taking a look, Qin Ruo nodded to the old man.
"If you have such wine, you can send it directly to the Weapon Training Hall. My name is Zheng San, and the price is forty black crystals." The old man took away the five bottles of wine with a wave of his arm.
Storage ring! Qin Ruo understood that the old man had a storage ring, which showed that storage rings were not rare in Zongheng City.
With two hundred black crystals in his hand, which was a lot of money, Qin Ruo continued to walk forward.
After walking half a mile, Qin Ruo stopped because he saw Chunyuan grass, the main material for refining the Xuanling Pill, which was in large quantities and was divided into small piles by the stall owner.
"How do you sell this?" Qin Ruo knelt down and took a look, and then asked after confirming that it was spring garden grass.
"This Windward Grass costs ten ink coins. Windward Grass is a must-have item when going out to hunt monsters," the stall owner said.
Qin Ruo looked at the spring garden grass and said nothing.
"If you consume too much, you can recover faster if you take two beads. If you can find an alchemist, you can refine a layer of spiritual energy pills. If the spiritual energy is consumed, just take one and you will recover." Seeing Qin Ruo's unresponsiveness, the stall owner was somewhat agitated.
He spoke anxiously.
"How about giving you two black crystals for twenty one hundred dollars?" Qin Ruo said, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
"Okay, I'll give you a bunch." The stall owner put the spring garden grass and horse food into a bag and handed it to Qin Ruo, who left two people, Mo Jing.
"Do you still have this windweed?" Qin Ruo asked. For him, the more windweeds, the better.
"No more. It will be a few years later. All the wind grass in that valley is here." The stall owner shook his head.
After leaving the stall, Qin Ruo put the spring garden grass into the storage ring. His mood was a little indescribable. He had been searching for it in the dark secret realm for so long and couldn't find it. He spent a few tenths of a bottle of wine here.
The price has been exchanged for so much.
Qin Ruo walked around Zongheng City, looking for any rare medicinal materials if nothing else.
In this way, Qin Ruo bought bear bile, tiger bones, and other materials along the way, all at low prices.
Looking at the sky, Qin Ruo knew that he wanted a place to live.
Zongheng City at night is patrolled by city guards. Those without proof of residence must leave the city after dark, or pay enough ink coins to practice in the practice workshop, otherwise they will be arrested.
The spiritual practice is equivalent to a hotel or an inn.
Qin Ruo paid ten mo crystals and settled down.
After entering the room and checking that no one was following, Qin Ruo transferred Bai Lin and Xiangzi out of the pagoda.
"Is this a hotel?" Bai Lin asked, looking at the room.
"Well, this place is called Xiuxianfang, which is similar to a hotel. I sneaked in, but I haven't gained a foothold yet." Qin Ruo took out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for each of Bai Lin and Xiangzi.
"Sneaking in is the most difficult step, take your time." Xiangzi said to Qin Ruo.
"I gained a lot today. I got the main materials for refining Xuanling Pill." Qin Ruo said with a smile.
"That means we, Xiangzi, will have elixirs to assist in our cultivation in the future?" Bai Lin said excitedly.
"Well, I will continue to look around the city tomorrow. If there is nothing worth staying, we will leave." After getting the spring garden grass, Qin Ruo was already very satisfied.
"Now that the main goal has been achieved, you have to act with caution." Bai Lin didn't want Qin Ruo to take risks.
"I know, this Zongheng City is very big. It'll be fine as long as it doesn't attract the attention of interested people." Qin Ruo said.
The three of them were chatting in the room, and Qin Ruo told the two women what they had seen today.
There is a large attic to the west of Zongheng City. There is an archway in front of the attic with the name Weapon Training Hall written on it.
In a courtyard inside the attic, Zheng San and a well-dressed old man were drinking.
"Third brother, you mean you bought it from an inconspicuous boy?" the gorgeously dressed old man asked.
"Well, he doesn't look like a member of the tribe. He is wearing cloth. According to him, he ran away when he encountered a monster and lost Mo Jing before selling the wine. Do you have any questions?" Zheng San nodded and said.
.
"Look at the wine bottle. Although it is not a rare bottle, it is not easy to make. The words on it are different from those in Zongheng City. He is a person from other worlds or a member of an ancient tribe. This person must be
Found it." The old man in rich clothes said.
"Brother, it's hard to find him. If he leaves today, we will have nowhere to look. Even if we don't leave the city, it's not easy to find someone in Zongheng City." Zheng San said with some embarrassment.
"You search in the city. I'll talk to the clan leader later and see if we can send the black-clad army out of the city to arrest someone. This person is very important." The old man in rich clothes left with two bottles of wine.
Qin Ruo didn't know that his carelessness had already attracted people's attention.
