Chapter 54 Jinguyuanfang City
With Li Huayuan leading the team, the journey was very safe.
When Xu Ting arrived at Jinguyuan, he saw temporary stone houses and tents everywhere. Some monks were walking around in the aisles of these tents, creating a busy scene. There was also a small market next to these tents.
In the market here, most of them sell things snatched from the hands of demonic monks, including strange magic weapons, exercises, and even elixirs that are not commonly seen in Yue Kingdom.
However, the elixirs of the Demonic Path are different from those of the Yue Kingdom.
Most of the elixirs in the Yue Kingdom are refined with some conventional spiritual herbs. After taking them, you only need to refine the potency to increase your cultivation.
If the magic elixirs are not taken in conjunction with the exercises they practice, after refining, although they can increase their cultivation, some cold energy that is incompatible with the righteous monks will remain in the body. If it is not discharged from the body as soon as possible, it will damage the foundation of immortality.
Cause harm.
It also takes time to expel these cold energy, so some monks, after obtaining these elixirs, did not choose to take them, but sold them in exchange for some spiritual stones or other things.
However, not all demonic monks take similar elixirs. There are also normal elixirs. But how can the monks sell these normal elixirs after they obtain them?
Xu Ting guessed that the spiritual herbs for refining these elixirs should have been stimulated by some secret techniques to increase their potency and increase some side effects. However, due to the magic method, these side effects would not show up in the magic monks.
Obviously, for monks who do not practice magic techniques, they need to consider the pros and cons of taking these elixirs themselves.
Xu Ting wanted to buy a bottle and go back to see the effect, but Li Huayuan's masters and disciples were still walking ahead. Although he saw other monks who would come over to buy this elixir, in order not to arouse suspicion, he still thought he would wait until he came out alone.
When you take action, buy another bottle and try the effect.
Li Huayuan led everyone to the station in Huang Maple Valley. Xu Ting asked him about Huiming's residence and separated from the rest of the army.
He came to a tent that looked very tall. Judging from the momentum of this tent, only monks in the elixir-forming stage were worthy of living in it.
Just when he was about to go in to pay his respects, Chen Qiaoqian happened to come out of the tent.
"Junior Sister Chen? Master, are you in there?" Xu Ting asked.
When Chen Qiaoqian saw Xu Ting, she was surprised and said: "Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to be still alive?"
Xu Ting smiled and said: "What? Junior sister seems to be looking forward to senior brother's death."
Chen Qiaoqian realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized: "Junior sister, that's not what I meant. Junior sister heard from Master that the Lingshi Mine has been moved to a flat ground, and the only person who came out alive is Junior Brother Han."
Xu Ting said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect that junior sister is quite well-informed. She can find out about the Lingshi Mine here."
Chen Qiaoqian blushed on her face and said: "Senior brother, don't get me wrong. Junior sister heard from the senior brother from Tianque Castle a few days ago, and he only said that there was only one person in Huang Maple Valley who came back from the Lingshi Mine, and the master found out who this person was.
Han Li, I thought you were in danger."
Xu Ting nodded and said: "Well, senior brother understands, so he won't joke with his junior sister anymore. He will go to see the master first, and we will talk later."
Xu Ting opened the curtain of the tent and saw Huiming sitting on the main seat in the center waiting for him. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, my disciple is here."
Huiming was very happy to see that Xu Ting was still alive, and said with a smile: "It would be great if you can come back alive. I originally wanted to arrange a relatively safe mission for you, but I didn't expect that the Lingshi Mine would suffer such a disaster. This is why
The teacher didn’t expect it.”
Xu Ting replied respectfully: "This matter has nothing to do with Master. It's all our fault for not protecting the Lingshi Mine."
Huiming waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Let bygones be bygones. There are still many things to be busy with. Are you ready to go out and kill the devil?"
Xu Ting thought about it and said: "My disciple has been continuously hunted by the devil for nearly a month. There are still some hidden diseases in his body that have not been adjusted well, but it doesn't matter. After about four or five days, he will be completely fine."
Huiming frowned after hearing this and said: "Well, you can rest here for five days, and wait until the injury is fully recovered before going out to fight. Fighting against the devil is not a trivial matter, and any negligence will be fatal.
”
Hearing that he had a few days to adjust, Xu Ting was overjoyed, bowed to Huiming again, and said happily: "Thank you, Master."
Huiming said: "You can go to the military merit office to buy a bottle of healing elixir, and then go to the area where the foundation-building disciples live to find an empty tent to stay and recuperate."
After Xu Ting thanked him, he said goodbye to Huiming, asked other monks about the location of the Military Merit Office, and headed there.
This so-called Military Merit Office is actually similar to a very large method, but the difference between it and Fangshi is that most of the things here can be exchanged for military merits, and only a few things can be purchased with spiritual stones.
p>
This place is also built with a tent, but this tent is very large and can accommodate dozens or hundreds of monks at the same time. Moreover, the tent is surrounded by various materials needed for monks to practice.
The most common ones are the elixirs used in cultivation.
Of course, there are also many materials that are difficult to purchase in ordinary markets, such as the materials needed to repair the ancient teleportation array, which are also available here.
Xu Ting asked Manager Chen, who was in charge of the exchange of military merits, and understood that neither elixirs nor materials could be purchased with spiritual stones. They all had to be exchanged for military merits, and military merits were proof of killing demonic monks.
And this proof is not limited to any item. As long as this item can prove that you killed this demonic monk, then this item can be taken here and exchanged for military merit. Once enough military merit has been accumulated, it can be exchanged for
The items you need.
At present, Xu Ting has not killed any demonic monks, so naturally he has no military merit. He can only take out the spirit stone, buy a bottle of healing elixir, and then leave the military merit office.
He did not go anywhere else, but came to Fangshi next to the station.
Those who set up stalls here are all monks from the Seven Sects.
Xu Ting came to the booth of a monk wearing blue clothes, picked up a red book on the exercises, opened it and read it, and asked: "This senior brother, this is the first time I came to Jinguyuan. I have some doubts in my heart and want to ask.
Senior brother."
The monk in blue is in the late stage of foundation building and is a disciple of Tianque Castle. He glanced at Xu Ting and said: "Junior brother, feel free to ask. If senior brother knows, he will answer you. If you don't know something, it's useless for you to ask.
”
Xu Ting flipped through the book for a moment, closed the book, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret. Brother, look, this book is obviously a magic method. Why do the seven sects allow you to sell it here?"
The blue-clothed monk smiled and said: "So that's what happened. If my junior brother is worried about being investigated by the sect for buying this skill, just relax. These skills were all taken back from the hands of the devil, even if they are not sold.
, it will still be in our hands, even if it is not sold openly, it will be traded in the dark, so the Seventh Party turned a blind eye to this matter."
He continued: "Take the exercise book in my junior brother's hand as an example. Its cover has been replaced. If you don't open it and look at it, who knows what exercises are inside?"
Xu Ting was a little speechless after hearing this, and said, "Isn't this deceiving others?"
The monk in blue looked a little strange and said: "Junior brother, let me ask you, after you bought this exercise, will you switch to this exercise?"
Xu Ting shook his head and said, "Of course not."
The monk in blue said: "Isn't that enough? However, although these exercises are demonic exercises and are not suitable for monks like us to practice, some of the life-saving secrets in the exercises are still worth learning from and practicing, so this is also a good idea.
The reason why someone buys these exercises."
Xu Ting nodded thoughtfully, put down the red book in his hand, picked up a bottle of elixir and said, "What's the price of this elixir?"
The monk in blue directly stated a price. Xu Ting felt that this price was too cheap. You must know that this elixir is used by monks in the foundation building period. The price of a few of the elixirs purchased by Xu Ting was three or four times the price of this elixir.
There are so many, and it is difficult to buy, but this kind of elixir is available in every stall, and there are more than one bottle. It exists in the stalls set up by monks with advanced cultivation and extraordinary abilities at first sight.
The number of elixir bottles is probably more than twenty.
But he hasn't yet experimented with the effects of taking it himself, so he doesn't dare to buy more and will wait until he goes back to confirm the effect.
After leaving this stall, he wandered around other stalls, purchased a few books on exercises that were suitable for his own reference, and then was about to go back, when someone stopped him.
Xu Ting turned around and saw a thin monk walking towards him with a smile.
"Junior brother, judging from your appearance, this is your first time coming to Jinguyuan, right?"
Xu Ting saw that the other party was wearing ordinary clothes without any sect marks, and he could not figure out the other party's background. He asked doubtfully: "Senior brother called out to junior brother, what do you mean?"
The thin monk said: "This is not the place to talk. Please go over there, junior brother." He pointed to a place away from Fangshi.
This is the common residence of the seven factions, and Xu Ting is not afraid that the other party will do anything dangerous to him. He nodded and followed the other party to the open space on the other side.
The thin monk released a sound-isolating light shield and then said: "Brother, please introduce yourself first. My surname is Zhang Wenxing, from the sect Spirit Beast Mountain. I don't know my senior brother's surname?"
Xu Ting replied: "It turns out to be senior brother Zhang. His junior brother's name is Xu Ting, and he is a monk from Huang Maple Valley."
He is wearing Huang Maple Valley clothes. Even if he doesn’t tell others, others will know.
Zhang Wenxing said politely: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Xu. Junior Brother Xu's name is known to everyone among the seven sects."
