Chapter 537: Holy Beast Forever
"When you come to Jiling City, why don't you go see Qianqiu?"
The old man who came out of the hut for the thirteenth time asked after sitting down again.
"Qianqiu? Just singing and dancing on the lake?"
Liu Xiao asked in confusion.
"It turns out you don't know, no wonder," the old man nodded and said patiently, "The lake you mentioned is called Miaoyin Lake. Don't underestimate it. Jiling City is the size it is today, all because it doesn't look like much.
The eye-catching Miaoyin Lake.”
"What's the explanation?"
Could it be that, like Hangzhou, Jiling City is famous for its West Lake?
"Because there is a sacred beast in the lake named Qianqiu."
Oops...this seems a bit out of line. Liu Xiao didn't know what to ask for a moment.
Holy beast... isn't that a domain lord level spiritual beast?
Are you staying in that lake just now? There are people singing and dancing on the lake? There are more than 100,000 people shouting and cheering by the lake?
Aren't these people afraid at all? A thing of that level would probably be destroyed by just a fart.
The old man saw Liu Xiao's unnaturalness from his expression.
He smiled and said, "Although it is a sacred beast, Qianqiu is very friendly to us humans. Moreover, it is good at music and has a beautiful singing voice. It does not appear in normal times. Only when it hears the singing that can reach its ears will it reveal its true appearance and interact with the actor.
Once we meet him, we will teach him his voice skills."
"Whenever the water in Miaoyin Lake rises, Jiling City will sing and dance endlessly. Performers from all the rings of the Sloan Great Wall will arrive one after another, just to get the favor of the sacred beast. You are here at the right time, this event has just begun."
Although I didn't quite understand what the old man meant, he seemed pretty cool.
Liu Xiao still grasped a few key words.
Holy beast, music, Sloan Great Wall, music skills.
In other words, it shouldn't be wrong that singers from various races would gather in Jiling City at this time, hoping to be recognized by a holy beast and thus obtain the skills of music.
How should I put it, I always feel that the two poles are reversed. Aren’t the calls of animals all beautiful, and humans give them some delicious food?
This world is really like that.
"I just listened to a song, and it was really good, but I'm not interested in music and dance."
Liu Xiao also told the truth.
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't say anything more and continued to identify the medicine bottles on the table.
"There will be many other foreigners who fan the ring here?"
Having no interest in singing and dancing does not mean that Liu Xiao is not curious about the culture and characteristics of a city.
"Yes, singers from all races and their fans will come one after another. Music skills are very rare, not to mention the inheritance of a holy beast, and being recognized by Qianqiu, it is definitely a rare thing in the world of singers.
A supreme honor.”
Liu Xiao nodded. Since coming to Sloan, other races have only been seen in super-large human city-states. The chaos of thousands of races like the Origin Trial feels like a long time ago.
There is no way, each race has its own fan ring, which is equivalent to a concentrated area. Traveling across regions is extremely costly and unsafe. Most of the foreign races that appear in super giant cities such as Xuanwu and Baihu are
Traveling merchants buy goods here and sell them there. What they want is a scarcity of materials and what they earn is a profit margin. They don't leave the city anyway, so there are no dangerous problems.
"I saw they threw a red crystal stone into Miaoyin Lake. Is there any explanation?"
"Oh, that's a ferocious stone. It's usually fed to war beasts that are not ferocious enough. They are extremely ferocious, but Qianqiu can suppress the ferocity in it. It also likes to eat this, so the onlookers think the singer's singing is pleasant.
Sometimes, they would throw these stones into the lake as a small way to please and bribe the sacred beast. Over time, it became a habit. The more ominous stones thrown into Miaoyin Lake, the more people recognized the actor just now.
"
Let's just say, I didn't see anyone picking up these crystal stones in the lake. They turned out to be for feeding the holy beasts...
There are weird things every day, and I can’t say that there are particularly many in Jiling City. Compared with Muye Mountain, where you can wander around everywhere, it’s still a bit inferior.
An old man's physical strength should be directly proportional to his kidney function.
After finally identifying more than a hundred bottles of medicine, I felt a little exhausted and said I needed to take a rest.
The rest of the pills, essences, etc. will be discussed later.
Others had said so, so Liu Xiao, who had never respected the elderly or cared about the young, could only pay Neng Jing, take away his things, and go out to play by himself.
After leaving Ziwu, there were a lot more people on the main street, and there were also a few foreigners shopping.
There were already three floors inside and three floors outside Miaoyin Lake before. I am afraid that when the foreigners arrive one after another and the event reaches its climax, the whole city will be filled with water.
When he thought of the crowds of people all over the place, Liu Xiao shuddered and hurriedly got into a red house.
When he came out, there were two more bottles in his hand, each containing 5 pills.
Uncork the bottle, pick one up and throw it into your mouth.
My mouth tastes like money.
This kind of pill to wake up the spirit pill, five crystal souls each, two bottles of ten, cost him a full fifty crystal souls.
I feel bad, it’s not easy to make money, how can I have such luxury!
Medicinal effect?
It is similar to the marrow fruit, and it is estimated to only increase the spiritual energy level by about 2.
This also made Liu Xiao fully realize a problem, that is, the potion itself cannot necessarily fully exert the effects of the main ingredients, but only allows these herbs that can increase the energy level to blend with each other, and eventually become something that the human body can absorb.
In other words, Liu Xiao's direct consumption of the marrow fruit, which is used as a material for certain medicines, can increase the value by 2 points, but the refined product may only increase the value by 1 point.
Pharmacy is more about solving the problem of human absorption, and then it is the result of how to fully exert the effect of the material.
And this store only has these ten pills, and there are no more. As for the reason, it is simple and crude. Liu Xiao's spirit level is jade, and Ziwu's main customers are souls. In other words, potions that are effective for spirits,
Useless to Liu Xiao!
Considering the capital turnover rate, Ziwu generally does not keep too many potions that cannot be sold, and it must be based on market demand.
So, it was just a matter of whether I wanted to buy it or not. I negotiated the price with the owner for a long time, and even took out the spiritual power ring, but it was of no use at all.
The owner of the house with a arrogant face said that it would never be cheaper.
After talking about this, Liu Xiao, who originally wanted to buy some other pills, lost interest and left.
Medicines for improving the spiritual body are not only expensive, but also very scarce, which is a bit annoying.
I have finally accumulated more than 700 spiritual energy crystals, which is not enough for these words.
And there is an extremely serious problem. Since he became the messenger, his requirements for meat have become even higher. Except for the beast master, eating other things can no longer absorb the energy and blood to improve his body.
He walked along the main street of Yunmen and walked past every house, and collected another fifteen Awakening Pills and seven bottles of Dreaming Water, and 89 crystal souls left him.
Squatting on the side of the road, I stuffed pills into my mouth one after another like jelly beans, and drank Chen Meng Shui as a drink. I was thinking that the energy level of this wave could rise to about 540.
We are still almost halfway to the next stage of spiritual crystals. It’s a long way to go.
I have Hanzhu, but it is so difficult to grow up, what about ordinary people?
Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably better.
Several people in long robes, with their heads lowered and their faces hidden in their hoods, walked quickly past Liu Xiao.
He happened to be squatting on the ground and caught a glimpse of one of them's profile from this angle.
The facial features are exquisite, and the edges and corners are as sharp as a knife. It’s not that there is no such beauty among humans, but that Liu Xiao knows a race that specializes in producing such top-notch products.
A few of them walked very fast, and there was a kind of indifference that put people away from thousands of miles away, and they didn't want to have contact with others.
Liu Xiao, who wanted to talk to him, even raised his hand, but in the end he held back his words.
After thinking about it, even if someone is willing to chat with me for a few words, what can they ask?
Ask them which city the fruit testers are concentrated in? Or ask them if they know a member of the same race named Tanya?
As you can imagine, the probability of getting the answer is close to zero.
He was suddenly startled, and while turning his head to look back, he saw several arrow shadows passing through the air.
On the rooftops on both sides of the main street, more than ten people were seen withdrawing their bows and disappearing.
What's going on!? In the bright world, in Jiling City! Someone is actually trying to assassinate someone? He just ran away after shooting?
I was careless, thinking that the security of such a city must be excellent, so I didn't use any perception skills at all. Fortunately, the target of these people was not me.
Screams of surprise arose everywhere, and when I looked back, I saw that those foreigners were already lying in a pool of blood.
There were not only arrow wounds on the bodies, but two people had their arms cut off! It seemed that in addition to the silver moons on the roof, there were also sneak attacks at close range.
No! The number of corpses on the ground! One less!
In an instant, he realized that the purpose of this group was to kidnap.
He rushed forward and wiped the blood slowly spreading on the ground.
The bloody footprints extended into the narrow alley on one side, and disappeared after a short distance.
Chapter completed!
