Jiang Fan understood her thoughts and looked at her with a smile. "No problem, I have a few more elixirs here. Take them together. It will help you absorb them and help you improve your realm."
Gu Ling'er nodded without saying much, took the elixir from Jiang Fan, and found a flat place to sit cross-legged.
Jiang Fan sat aside to protect the Dharma. He knew Gu Ling'er's condition very well and had already prepared these elixirs.
She doesn't have an alchemy chapter, so she can't achieve Jiang Fan's physique. All she can rely on is elixirs for improvement.
The elixirs Jiang Fan prepared for her were specially refined for her and had almost no side effects. Even if there were some hidden dangers, they would be made up for when Jiang Fan's realm further improved.
Not only Gu Ling'er, he was also preparing Chu Zhan's share of elixirs. However, the elixirs he could obtain now were too few to satisfy him, otherwise he would have taken him to retreat.
, after tempering the physical body, Chu Zhan's journey will be smoother.
Watching Gu Ling'er take the elixir, Jiang Fan arranged a formation near her to prevent the fluctuations outside from having any chance to disturb her.
Jiang Fan was very patient and sat there for more than ten days.
He would occasionally use the method of alchemy to enhance the effect of the elixir Gu Ling'er took, trying to maximize the effect of the medicine, and this effect was naturally very obvious.
Gu Ling'er also used this to successfully condense the sixth spiritual consciousness, and the intensity of his spiritual consciousness continued to increase.
She is a pharmacist and is very talented in medicine, so Jiang Fan knows exactly where to help her, and the strength of her spiritual consciousness is of course the top priority.
Nowadays, Gu Ling'er's realm is not too low, at least she is definitely among the best among her peers. She spends more time in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines to practice alone, otherwise her realm will be even stronger.
Gu Feng would give her various elixirs to assist her cultivation since she was little. However, because the elixirs in the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley were of limited quality, Gu Ling'er accumulated a lot of impurities in her body.
This Xiao Tianlong Pill has a miraculous effect in restraining these impurities.
Half a month later, she woke up from practice feeling refreshed.
Jiang Fan prepared a large bucket at the side, filled it with warm water, and waited for a long time.
It must be said that his preparations were quite thorough. He knew that after tempering the body, the impurities in the body would be forced out of the body and naturally needed to be washed away by bathing. He had prepared these things in his treasure bag a long time ago.
Gu Ling'er was a little moved, but still blushed and said to Jiang Fan: "No peeking!"
Jiang Fan smiled, turned his back to the bucket, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested.
Listening to the sound of water in the barrel behind him, Jiang Fan was also thinking a lot, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was obviously in a good mood.
After Gu Ling'er was washed, Jiang Fan decided to take her flying in the air, heading towards Beiyan Country.
Just like before, Jiang Fan would still turn around from time to time and take her to collect elixirs, which made her feel very miraculous.
After stopping and going like this, it was already a week after we arrived in Beiyan Country.
Looking from a distance, Beiyan Country is black and lifeless. The towering city walls seem to block this land. It is very spectacular. There are many strange rocks and black smoke is rising in the distance, making people feel that this place is very dull.
This feeling was completely different from that of Nanye Kingdom. The two gradually saw the motorcade and the crowds. Most of them came from the other two directions. Following them, they could find the city gate. But when they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Fan was surprised
Now, there are no guards here.
As soon as you enter the city, the feeling becomes completely different.
There were lights everywhere, the city was bustling, almost everyone had a smile on their face, and everyone greeted them cordially, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
Who would have thought that behind this dark city wall, people are so enthusiastic and the atmosphere is harmonious?
Jiang Fan blocked several men who wanted to get closer to Gu Ling'er and continued to walk forward with her.
“What a strange place!”
After walking about a hundred meters, the two found a group of people gathered around. They didn't know what they were looking at. From time to time, people were cheering. When they got closer, they saw two men fighting each other inside, as if fighting for their lives.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Take them away!" A group of city guards in armor separated the crowd and took the two people away. However, a group of people watching the excitement showed no expressions of surprise, as if they were used to this.
Gu Ling'er frowned and said, "There seems to be something wrong here."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Let's go find Qiu Zhen first, she knows more about this place."
They asked people about the chamber of commerce where Qiu Zhen was working, but passers-by laughed and didn't say why. This made Jiang Fan confused.
In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to search by themselves. The Northern Rock Country was much larger than the Southern Leaf Country, and they didn't know when they would be able to find it.
The vegetation here is very sparse, which is completely different from the vast grassland far outside the city. All buildings are made of black shiny rocks. Jiang Fan has carefully inspected it and found that this kind of rock is very hard in texture. The city wall outside should also be made of this kind.
Stone.
Jiang Fan took Gu Ling'er around the city and found a restaurant to sit down.
The waiter walked over casually, a little impatiently: "What do you want to eat?"
bsp;Jiang Fan was a little surprised. The waiter's mood was more like that of a normal person in this city.
"Bring up all your tastiest food!"
The waiter said directly: "We only have noodles in this store. The boss and the cook are running out and going crazy. I have to make noodles for you. Just wait, they will be here soon."
Not long after, the waiter came up with two bowls of noodles and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Eat it while it's hot. I don't think there are many restaurants in the city where you can get something to eat."
Jiang Fan asked: "What is going on in this city? Why are people so enthusiastic?"
The waiter looked them over and said, "Are you from out of town? We have a three-month carnival every year. The palace will issue a pill for the people to take. After these people take it, they all go crazy."
Jiang Fan frowned. He was a pharmacist, so he naturally understood what he was talking about.
Gu Ling'er said directly: "It should be Xiaoyao Pill. There is no benefit after taking this pill. Why does the palace do this?"
The waiter looked at Gu Ling'er in surprise: "I didn't expect that this beauty is actually a pharmacist. Of course she did this to win over people's hearts, and people who have taken the elixir will feel very uncomfortable if they don't take it the next year. That's right.
Because of this, there are more and more people in Beiyan Country."
The waiter's attitude softened a lot and reminded them: "Remember, no matter who gives you the pill, don't take it."
Jiang Fan looked at him: "You haven't taken Xiaoyao Pills?"
"Of course I have. It was free for the first three years. Then the price suddenly increased. I couldn't afford it. I didn't eat it for two years, but I got over it. Now when I look at those guys outside, I have a cold sweat on my back.
, this group of people simply seems to be controlled by others."
"So this has been going on for five years?"
The waiter nodded: "Yes, but the guards in the city are not allowed to take it. According to what I heard, many masters in the palace are controlled by this thing."
Jiang Fan knew something in his mind and then asked: "Do you know about the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce?"
The waiter was a little surprised: "Why are you asking about the Qiu family? Stay away from them, or you may get into trouble."
"Oh? Is there any problem with the Qiu family? I have met Qiu Zhen a few times, and she is quite a nice person."
The waiter sat opposite them and said mysteriously: "Ten years ago, the Qiu family was a royal family and was forced to give up the throne to the current king. The family was declining. If there were not two masters sitting in charge, I am afraid that all the foundation would be lost.
It cannot be saved, but they are still a thorn in the King's side and a thorn in the flesh. As long as there is a chance, I will try my best to remove them. If Miss Qiu Zhen hadn't brought back treasures from all over the place to support the Chamber of Commerce, the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce would have closed down."
Jiang Fan didn't expect that Qiu Zhen, whom he met on the grassland, had such an identity. No wonder the guards tried their best to protect her. It turned out that she was the original princess of Beiyan Country.
Gu Ling'er was also a little surprised: "Why should you give up?"
The waiter shook his head: "No one knows this. They only know that many masters in the palace suddenly turned against them and forced them to give up the throne. The old king had to give up the throne to protect his clan."
Jiang Fan didn't ask any more: "Where is the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce? You'd better tell me."
The waiter said: "On the west side of the city, the area is not too small, but there are not many people there. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you get along with the Qiu family, you will definitely get into trouble."
Jiang Fan lost his appetite after looking at these two bowls of noodles, so he paid the bill and took Gu Ling'er out of the restaurant.
Gu Ling'er looked at these people with a bit of disgust in his eyes. "These people are already addicted to the control of Xiaoyao Pill. How can such a pharmacist be allowed to exist in the palace?"
Jiang Fan said: "These are just poor people who are kept in the dark. How can they take advantage of it? This king doesn't seem to be a good person."
Gu Ling'er asked him: "Then should we go to Qiu Zhen's place? The feeling here is very bad."
"Since you're here, let's go and have a look. Mainly, I want to see what the treasure is in the north."
Along the way, Jiang Fan looked around and saw that a chamber of commerce was selling Xiaoyao Pills. The price was very expensive, but people were still rushing to buy them. These people were very crazy.
Gu Ling'er wanted to overturn the stall, but was held back by Jiang Fan.
As pharmacists, they despise this situation the most.
This Xiaoyao Pill was originally just a pill used to treat pain and disperse pain. Generally, you only need to take a small amount, and the effect is already very good. However, this pill is very addictive, so outside pharmacists have banned the refining of this pill.
Medicines are used to relieve pain. After all, there are many types of elixirs, and there are many that are more effective than Xiaoyao Pills. However, this one is easier to refine and has lower requirements for pharmacists.
All the way to the west of the city, there is no city gate here, so compared with the south of the city, there are many fewer people, but it is also very lively and the people are still enthusiastic.
When they saw the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce, two guards stood straight at the gate on both sides, their eyes clear.
The chamber of commerce was very deserted, with not a single customer.
Taking Gu Ling'er with him, Jiang Fan strode in.
People in the chamber of commerce were very awake. When they saw someone coming in, they stood up to welcome the guests.
