The so-called "secret medicine" is a spiritual material that Jixia Academy has banned from selling on the market. After the monks obtain it, they are only allowed to sell it to the academy and are not allowed to sell it privately, even between countries.
The most typical secret medicines include turmeric, Ganoderma lucidum and Evergreen Green Feather required for refining longevity pills.
Seeing someone selling secret medicine to him, Wu Sheng suddenly remembered that Shen Yueniang had fallen into this trap when she came to Yangzhou to purchase spiritual materials, and he immediately became interested.
He looked around and couldn't tell who was this man's accomplice, so he asked in a low voice: "What are they?"
The man was wearing a bamboo hat, pulled down the brim of his hat, and said, "If you are interested, come with me."
Of course Wu Sheng was interested, so he followed the man to a secluded place in the mountains.
Seeing no one around, the other party asked: "What do you need?"
Wu Sheng asked back: "What do you have?"
The other party said: "As long as you want, you can almost have it."
"for example?"
"Turmeric, green onions, cinnamon, agarwood..."
Wu Sheng was displeased: "I don't cook, are you making fun of me? I'm sorry for not accompanying you, so I'll say goodbye!"
The other party smiled: "Brother, have you never bought secret medicine before?"
Wu Sheng said: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
The other party explained: "Yellow ginger means turmeric and Ganoderma lucidum, green onion means long green feathers, cinnamon means hibiscus and golden cinnamon branches, and agarwood means..."
When he finished, Wu Sheng said: "Some turmeric and green onions."
The other party took out a small baggage from his arms. After opening it, Wu Sheng recognized it at a glance. It indeed contained turmeric, Ganoderma lucidum and Evergreen Green Feather. Not only that, but also a dozen other secret medicines such as hibiscus, golden cinnamon twig, etc., but the quantity was very small. few.
Wu Sheng frowned: "That's it, what's enough for it? It can't even open a furnace of pills..."
But he saw the man take a few steps back and suddenly run away. Wu Sheng was happy. He looked left and right and saw two people approaching him from left to right, smiling evilly at him. Looking at his clothes, he turned out to be the officials of Yangzhou Tingsi Temple.
Wu Sheng stood there and waited. When they came closer, he suddenly shouted: "What are you doing for food? You scared away the criminals!"
The two officials were a little confused and were suspicious, but they saw Wu Sheng showed his identity. He was a monk from the Yangzhou Academy. The so-called Academy Walk in the world was of course not a real walk, but a corporal of the Academy Walk.
This is definitely not something they can afford to offend.
The two of them were immediately at a loss. They wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave. They felt awkward standing in front of Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng continued to scold: "When Qing Xingxing took office, I heard that smuggling of secret medicines was extremely rampant in Yangzhou, and I took it very seriously. I was ordered to investigate now. I finally got the clues, and I was disturbed by you two. It's good now, everyone has run away. ,what to do?"
When these two people were stunned, Wu Sheng stretched out his hand and took off the wooden plaques from their waists. He took a look, nodded and said: "Temple Clerk Mending, Temple Clerk Cheng Jia, very good, the one wearing the armor just now Did you see the man in the bamboo hat? I'll wait here and catch him. If you can't catch him, we'll see you at the temple!"
The two temple officials were not ordinary temple officials. They were both cultivators. Otherwise, they would not have come to Xiaodongshan. Seeing Wu Sheng casually move, they took away their badges. Obviously they were not the ones to offend them. It started. With such skill, do you really want to catch someone and let the hawker escape just now?
The doorman on the left rolled his eyes and knelt down first, kowtowing to Wu Sheng: "You are so arrogant that I bumped into you. I am blind, so if you have any orders, please give me your instructions."
Cheng Jia also took out a bag, which contained two pieces of gold and a hundred ant-nosed coins, and stuffed it into Wu Sheng's arms: "It's a small thought, please go ahead and accept it."
Wu Sheng changed his expression and said: "What are you doing? Am I this kind of person? Ah? What does this mean? How do you say this?"
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to treat you to a drink." The two temple officials bent down and smiled, and quickly left.
Wu Sheng shouted: "Wait a minute!" and threw the baggage to them: "The stolen goods will be returned, so be careful next time!"
After extorting a small amount of money to make up for today's shortfall, Wu Sheng hummed a little tune and continued to stroll around the city for a while. Then he went to Bixitan in the south of the city, which is the spiritual spring of Yangzhou and belongs to the scenic spot.
clan's fiefdom.
Jing didn't intend to enjoy it alone, as it would be too wasteful. Instead, it was open to all monks. Those who wanted to practice inside would be charged ten ant nose coins per day. Regardless of how little they charge, it is still more than a lot of money in a year, so it is considered worthy.
Jing's important income.
After all, it is the fiefdom of Zhou Mu, and it is not worth making trouble for the money, so Wu Sheng honestly paid the money to go in. In a place like this with a spiritual spring, the spiritual power is indeed much richer than outside. Practicing outside will make you sleepless.
In twelve hours, more than 700 spiritual sands can be transformed. After entering the Bixi Lake, it will be tripled immediately, and more than 2,000 spiritual sands can be transformed.
Of course it won’t be sleepless, but as long as you stay here, you can get 1,500 or 600 Lingsha every day, which is equivalent to eating a high-grade magic weapon in the past. In a year, it will be nearly 600,000. If you stay here for ten years, you will accumulate it by yourself.
The true essence can touch the threshold of the Void Refining Realm.
In fact, Wu Sheng once owned such a spiritual spring, which was located in the secret cave on the main peak of Mangdang Mountain. However, the speed of converting the spiritual power of heaven and earth back then was only one-ninth of what it is now, so he had no choice but to do so. Although he is qualified to do so now,
It’s hard to go back—I can’t bring trouble to my relatives and friends in Mangdang Mountain anymore.
There were handymen in Bixitan who were responsible for delivering letters. Wu Sheng spent five ants' noses and asked them to send a message to Huaihuajian. He said that he would heal his injuries here and would not return to the school in the near future. If something happened, he would ask Huaihuajian
Just come here and find yourself.
After the letter was sent, he chose a stone cave by the pond to live in seclusion. He first spent three days refining the Nine Furnaces Tianxiang Pill, and then practiced hard for three days and transformed five or six thousand spiritual sands.
After leaving the cave, I stretched myself out.
The winter sun shines warmly on your body, especially when you wear your hair loose. You don't have to be restrained and don't have to spend time tying a bun. You feel a bit like a mountain hermit. Such a day is quite comfortable.
Take off your shoes and socks, stretch your feet into the pool, and feel the coolness. This is foot washing. Those who do not wash their feet are not worthy of the status of a mountain hermit.
Just when he was enjoying himself, a stone flew out of the forest and hit the pond, splashing water all over Wu Sheng. Someone yelled and scolded him: "Why are you washing your stinky feet and not allowing anyone to make tea?"
Wu Sheng stood up and ran away quickly. This matter was indeed wrong. He was too embarrassed to argue and did not even dare to confront the person who scolded him. Fortunately, his long hair covered half of his face. It would be difficult to recognize him, otherwise his face
It's a huge loss.
He was too embarrassed to go back to the cave. It would only be more embarrassing if someone blocked the cave entrance and scolded him. He simply hid his face and left Bixitan, planning to go to Xiaodong Mountain and come back when it was dark and no one was around.
When Jing's servant at the door saw him coming out, he trotted over and respectfully handed back the sixty ant nose coins.
Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse, took the money and left.
Xiaodongshan is still so lively. Wu Sheng's family is wandering around, not only collecting the spiritual materials they need, but also wanting to see the market and find out how much they can earn if they set up a stall.
Seeing a lot of people surrounding a stall in front of him, Wu Sheng squeezed in, but someone was selling a dagger. The dagger was blood-red and only seven inches long, making it very unique.
The dagger was in very good condition and was undoubtedly of the highest quality. The price of the dagger was not high and only charged two gold, so many people gathered around it. However, no matter how I looked at it, I always felt that the shape of the sword was a bit awkward and it felt weightless when used.
I don’t know what the swordsmith thinks about it, so there are many people looking at it, but few people are willing to bid, and they are all hesitant.
Wu Sheng lost interest after just two glances. He had Fang Bai for the long sword, and Feihong for the short sword. He also had a few high-grade flying swords in the storage ring, so he had no interest in flying swords for the time being, unless he could surpass Fang Bai.
.This sword is obviously not as good as Fang Bai, or even Feihong, so what else is there to see?
As soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, someone approached him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you need the secret medicine?"
Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a head wearing a bamboo hat, and couldn't help but smile.
