Chen Lin stood in front of the city gate, watching the few people coming in and out.
The cultivation level of these people is generally not high, and most of them are even mortals with no mana fluctuations. However, these mortals are tall and full of power, and their combat effectiveness is not low at first glance.
Moreover, the clothes of the people here are also very different from those in the Starry Continent.
Most of the clothes are made of animal skins, with simple styles and natural wild beauty.
As a result, his clothes looked different.
Moreover, his figure here also appears to be very thin, and the women wearing simple animal skins are taller than him, so passers-by cast strange glances at him.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin walked into the city.
There is no management at all here, the city gates are open, and no one charges any entrance fees.
He once asked Tenghuawu and learned that this city was jointly built by several large nearby tribes. The main purpose was to exchange supplies among the tribes and to provide a place of supply for those who went out to hunt.
It is equivalent to a square market.
There are many shops in the city, but most of them are scattered stalls, and most of the things sold are furs, meat and bones of various exotic animals.
There are even some exotic animal cubs that are put in cages and sold as pets.
Chen Lin walked around and saw many types of strange beasts, as well as some strange items that were not found in the Starry Continent, which was very eye-opening.
After walking around the stalls, he started browsing the shops again.
The goods inside the store were slightly better than outside, but the prices were also more expensive. After visiting two stores, Chen Lin unexpectedly found that there were thousands of years old bone-corroding leaves for sale, and he immediately went to buy them.
"Shopkeeper, how do you change these leaves?"
Chen Lin looked at it for a while, then pointed at one of the larger leaves and asked.
There are no spirit stones in the Starfall Continent, and the spirit stone veins have been contaminated by alien energy and are of no use at all, so transactions are mostly barter.
However, there are also two types of hard currency that can be used as currency. The leaves of the Bone Erosion Tree are one of them, and the other is fairy rice.
"Two hundred leaves that are one hundred years old, or ten pieces of immortal rice, or other items of equal value are also acceptable."
The shopkeeper was also tall and tall, looking down at Chen Lin.
้ is a unit of measurement here. The weight of one ้ไป็ฑณ is about a little over one kilogram.
Chen Lin also took some fairy rice from the old man with white eyebrows, but not much. The fairy rice tasted very good, so he kept it for himself and had no intention of trading it.
He put his consciousness into one of the storage bags containing low-level items, rummaged around and took out an elixir bottle.
"No, let's see how many leaves these elixirs can exchange for."
What he took out was a bottle of Condensation Pills. There were ten pills in total. It was no longer clear which year they were refined, but the efficacy of the medicine was not lost.
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Lin with surprise, took the elixir bottle over with suspicion, poured out an elixir and examined it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he seemed to feel unsure, so he took out a few tools that Chen Lin didn't recognize at all, scraped off some of the powder from the elixir, and began to test it.
After working for a while, the shopkeeper said with a look of surprise: "It turns out to be a pill that improves cultivation. The effect is very strong. Are you an alchemist?"
Because elixirs are rare and elixirs are precious things here, no wonder the shopkeeper is a bit rude.
Chen Lin said expressionlessly: "Whether I am an alchemist or not has nothing to do with the transaction. How many thousand-year-old leaves can you exchange for this bottle of elixir?"
After being scolded, the shopkeeper didn't care and carefully put all the elixirs back into the elixir bottle and said: "I can give you ten pills. I guarantee that this is the maximum amount you can exchange for in the city. There is no higher number than mine."
of."
Ten pieces, if converted, is more than a hundred kilograms of fairy rice.
There was no comparison, and Chen Lin didn't know whether the price was reasonable, but a mere bottle of Condensation Pill was of no use to him, so he directly agreed to the exchange.
After getting the leaves and leaving the store, after checking to make sure there were no problems, he threw one in his mouth and started refining.
A bone-eroding pain appeared, much stronger than a century-old leaf, and more alien energy was produced. He immediately used the Vajra Conjoined Art to guide it and began to temper his body.
After a leaf was refined, Chen Lin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
These thousand-year-old leaves are really useful, and they are much more powerful than refining a hundred hundred-year-old leaves. If it can be used for a long time, the Vajra Body Refining Technique may really be able to reach a higher level.
This discovery greatly surprised him, and he immediately began to purchase large quantities of these leaves.
After looking around the city, I found that there were not many thousand-year-old leaves, only a few hundred in total.
As for the bone-eroding fruit, I only received one.
The fruit is about the size of an apple, has a strange shape, and has an indescribable taste, not too delicious.
Even so, he understood the function of the Bone Erosion Fruit, and his heart immediately became hot.
The effect of this kind of fruit is much stronger than that of thousand-year-old leaves. He feels that if there is a sufficient supply, it will not take many years to complete the third level of the Vajra Body Refining Technique.
"It seems that coming to Starfall Continent this time is a blessing in disguise!"
Feeling the effect of the Bone Corrosion Fruit, Chen Lin decided to obtain it in large quantities and first see if he could get it through other channels. If not, he would have to go to the Flame Mountain by himself.
According to the information he received, the Bone Erosion Tree has very strict requirements on the growing environment. Although it can be transplanted to ordinary areas, the transplanted trees will only grow leaves, and even if they bloom, they will hardly bear fruit.
Within a radius of thousands of miles, only the bone-corroding trees in the Flame Mountain can bear fruit, which is why the fruits are so scarce.
Chen Lin collected all the stalls and shops in the city, and then planned to leave the city and continue to search for other gathering places. Although the place was sparsely populated and the gathering points were far apart, it was not easy for him.
What kind of.
"Friends in front of me, please stay!"
As he was walking towards the city gate, he felt someone approaching quickly, and then a sound like a bell sounded.
Chen Lin stopped and turned to look at the person coming.
This is a dark-skinned middle-aged man, eight feet tall, standing there like an iron tower.
The opponent was not only tall, but also had strong mana fluctuations. He actually had the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building, which surprised him quite a bit.
"Are you calling me?"
After looking at the other party, Chen Lin spoke calmly.
He had already checked before and found that there were no Jindan-level monks in the entire city, so they could not pose a threat to him.
The middle-aged man forced out a smile and said: "Yes, I am Qingyan from the Krait Snake Tribe. I heard that an alchemist has come to the city, so I came here to pay my respects."
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
As expected, it was his act of exchanging pills for leaves that attracted attention.
Pills are really eye-catching in this place, even if they are only in the Qi training stage, they are rare, otherwise the people here would not have to rely on immortal rice to practice.
He estimated that the other party had already guessed his identity as an outsider. After all, his figure, attire, and behavior were very different from those of the people here.
"Now that the visit is over, is there anything else?"
Chen Lin remained expressionless and said something casually.
He knew that the Krait Tribe was one of the tribes that built this city, but it was relatively low in the rankings. Such a small force was not enough in his eyes.
The middle-aged man felt Chen Lin's coldness and indifference, and felt a little sullen in his heart, but because he was unable to determine Chen Lin's identity and cultivation, he did not show it.
He forced out a smile again, and just as he was about to speak, he saw another figure approaching quickly in the distance.
"This warrior, my young master wants to meet you."
A young man with a feather on his head appeared in front of the two of them. He first glanced at the middle-aged man, and then said to Chen Lin with a fist.
This person was also in the early stage of foundation building, but Chen Lin found that although the middle-aged man named Qing Yan looked a little ugly, he did not get angry because of the other party's intrusion.
Being able to make the other party swallow his anger only shows that the young man's identity is extraordinary.
"Who is your young master and why should I go to see him?"
Chen Lin is still neither salty nor bland.
The young man was stunned, his face darkened, he pointed to the feathers on his head and said, "I am from the Golden Eagle tribe."
"Then what?"
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.
Because he didn't want to be too conspicuous, he restrained his magic power before entering the city, so neither the black-faced man nor this young man could sense his cultivation, otherwise they probably wouldn't dare to speak like this.
He had also heard from Teng Huawu that the Golden Eagle Tribe was a larger tribe. According to the other party, it was similar to the former Green Wolf Tribe.
However, this tribe is not nearby. It is located further away in Golden Eagle City, which happens to be one of the places he wants to go.
Being choked by Chen Lin, the young man's face became even more ugly, as if he couldn't hold back his anger.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded, "Master, don't blame me, my subordinate is reckless, please bear with me."
Following the voice, a figure appeared in front of him.
Chen Lin was slightly surprised.
This is also a young man with a very handsome appearance. He is wearing silk clothes. The most important thing is that his figure is the same as that of an ordinary person. It is obvious that he has not used the leaves of the bone-eroding tree to train his body.
This phenomenon is rare.
You must know that in order to increase the survival rate, people here have to practice physical training since childhood. Otherwise, they will not be able to survive in this difficult environment, nor can they resist the invasion of alien energy.
Moreover, everyone exercises, and even women are tall and powerful. If you don't exercise, you will look too different, and you won't even be able to find a partner.
"I'm Jin Chenyu of the Golden Eagle Tribe, and I've met the master."
The young man came to Chen Lin and bowed respectfully.
"Um."
Chen Lin hummed, but had no intention of returning the favor.
Then he said calmly: "If you want to see me and tell me something, don't waste my time. But please explain in advance that if you want me to do anything, you have to bring me what I need."
The reason why he communicated with these two people was to see if they had any bone-eroding fruit on them, otherwise he would not bother to pay attention.
The young man was not angry because of Chen Lin's attitude, and still said respectfully: "I heard that the master is collecting bone-eroding fruits, and I happen to have some on my lower body, which I can give to the master. In addition, I have a good thing to give to you, master!"
