Chapter 88: Shantytown Experience and Entering the City
Collecting a bunch of spirit stones into the jade pendant space, the storage space is no longer as empty as before.
The more than 700 egg-sized spirit stones alone take up a lot of space, and the elixirs and talismans also take up a lot of space.
After more than two months of consumption, there are still 263 bottles of Qi-nourishing pills and 65 bottles of Heqi pills left, which are daily consumption pills.
In fact, for Gao Yuan at this time, the effects of these two low-end recovery elixirs in the Qi training realm were already very unsatisfactory.
This is not to mention the problem of drug resistance. After upgrading to the master level of Changchun Kung, he can quickly expel the accumulated erysipelas in the body through practice, so his body's absorption effect of these two kinds of elixirs has been very stable.
The main reason why the effect is not ideal is that after his continuous breakthroughs in cultivation, the total amount of internal qi has increased by more than ten times compared to the second level of qi training.
In this case, even if he took one Heqi Pill, he would not be able to restore 20% of his total internal energy!
Therefore, when we enter Qingyuan Town this time, the first place we go to is the elixir store so that we can buy some high-end elixirs.
As for talismans, the inventory of the four commonly used talismans, namely the cold-warming talisman, the light body talisman, the evil-warming talisman, and the healing talisman, has always been maintained at more than two hundred pieces.
As for the three newly mastered high-level talismans, he also spent a lot of time preparing them in the past ten days.
Among them, the diamond symbols for defense are the most drawn, with more than 300 in stock.
There are also two hundred and one hundred pictures of the thunder talisman and the blazing sun talisman that match the stone talisman sets.
In addition to these scattered and small items, there is also a big guy in the jade pendant space.
His right hand touched the surface of the jade pendant, and a huge thing appeared in his hand out of thin air.
This is a dark purple stone snowboard that is seven feet long and two feet wide, with slightly curved ends. For this purpose, he used the nails of a mountain rat and spent most of the day making it.
Its material is a weird soil similar to purple sand. After being suppressed by the nails of the mountain rat, its strength and toughness have been greatly improved.
After the skateboard was completed, Gao Yuan tested it many times in the wild forest, and its performance in all aspects was very reliable.
…
early morning.
Gao Yuan checked for the last time the locations of commonly used talismans and elixirs in the secret pockets of his robes, and then left the underground secret room.
Not to mention running all the way, we soon arrived at the open space that we had agreed with Zheng Song.
Still a long way away, using his aura technique, he spotted the two earth-yellow figures in the distance, hidden by countless dark blue blocks in the depths.
The other party also noticed him and took a few steps towards him.
After removing the gas-gazing technique, Gao Yuan quickly saw clearly that the person next to Zheng Song was his sister Zheng Mingxiang. Both of them were wearing moon-white robes of similar styles.
But unlike Zheng Song, who is a bit bloated, Zheng Mingxiang looks very capable even though she dresses simply.
Coming closer, Gao Yuan looked at the two people and said with some surprise:
"Why are you two alone? No one else is going into the city?"
"What's good to go into? Going into the city is just for something new. Birthday celebrations happen every year. Our family has been in Qingyuan Town for so many years, so it's just like that after going there so many times.
If there wasn't something to buy, I wouldn't even bother to go in." Zheng Song said nonchalantly.
Gao Yuan thought about it. If family members like the Zheng family share weal and woe, even if they need to go to the city to buy something, they can just make a list together and give it to one person to buy. If a large group of people go to the city together,
, not only is it unnecessary, it also delays things.
Then he looked Zheng Song up and down and found that Zheng Song looked much younger after not seeing him for more than two months.
Well, to be precise, he felt a lot more energetic. He couldn't help but move in his heart and said curiously:
"Have you advanced to the Kaiyuan Realm?"
When Zheng Song heard this, he was speechless and said:
"How is it possible? It's only been two months. How could it be so fast?" Then he thought for a while and added:
"Well, I guess it will be almost half a year later."
"So slow?" Gao Yuan said in surprise.
"Slow?" Zheng Song screamed strangely and said:
"If you don't know, just don't talk nonsense, okay? Most people have to stay in the perfection stage of Qi training for more than a year before they enter the Kaiyuan realm. It can take a slower three or four years! It only takes me more than half a year.
Time, the progress has been very fast, right?"
Gao Yuan was speechless. He really didn't know this. In "A Brief Overview of the Lower Three Realms", from refining the Yuan Jing Stone to advancing to the Kaiyuan Realm, it was just a single sentence. Who knew there was such a big story in it?
The bend?
I wonder how long it will take me then? He thought unexpectedly.
…
Zheng Mingxiang stood aside with a smile on her face, quietly listening to Gao Yuan and Zheng Song chatting, without any intention of urging them.
She had a good impression of the young man named Gao Yuan in front of her. This good impression did not involve the relationship between men and women, but more stemmed from the gratitude hidden in her heart.
In fact, when Zheng Song decided to make friends with Gao Yuan, most people in the Zheng family were opposed to it, including Zheng Mingxiang.
Because in the decades after moving to Qingyuan Town, the Zheng family tried many times to establish stable friendships with other casual cultivators, but in the end all they gained was nothing.
Zheng Mingxiang feels this especially deeply, because her and Zheng Song's parents died in a shameless betrayal.
It was also from then on that the Zheng family gradually gave up all thoughts of making friends with casual cultivators.
If it weren't for the unusual increase in the price of the cold-warming talisman this year, and if it wasn't because the other party happened to be able to draw the cold-warming talisman, then we might never have a chance to make friends, right? Zheng Mingxiang thought in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectation. After getting acquainted with this young man, in less than three months, the situation of the Zheng family had undergone earth-shaking changes.
A large part of the reason for this is related to the young man in front of me, because of the magical talismans made by him!
The people of the Zheng family make a living by hunting monsters all year round. If they wander in the wild forest for a long time, accidents will inevitably happen, and casualties are inevitable.
Even Zheng Song, who has already entered the late stage of Qi training, has suffered numerous major and minor injuries over the years, let alone those brothers who are in the middle stage of Qi training!
But since using the talisman provided by this young man, this situation has greatly changed.
Throughout the whole winter, there was not a single serious injury.
Even when they unexpectedly encountered a second-level moose monster last month, only two people were slightly injured. Under the influence of the magical healing charm, they recovered quickly!
Of course, these are based on the entire Zheng family. For Zheng Mingxiang herself, there is a more important point.
This person had saved Zheng Song's life many times, and even this time he had a lot of credit for obtaining the Essence Stone in the ruins.
Zheng Song is her biological brother and the current leader of the Zheng family. In the near future, he will be promoted to the Kaiyuan realm and become the pillar of the Zheng family's rise again!
And these are inextricably related to the young people in front of us!
…
Gao Yuan and Zheng Song did not stay in the open area for long. The three of them walked and chatted, and soon crossed the Nanhe River and arrived at the shanty town.
After being away for more than two months, Gao Yuan became increasingly unfamiliar with the shanty towns.
Compared to last time, the shanty town looked even more dilapidated.
Houses that collapsed due to various reasons can be seen everywhere. Not only among the ruins of those shacks, but also on the gravel road underfoot, there are several suspicious traces of dried and black liquid.
When passing by the second row in the south area, he subconsciously looked at the house in the north, only to find that even half of the shack collapsed!
Not only was the monster skin covering the roof torn to pieces, but even the door of the shack had gone somewhere. The surrounding walls were densely covered with traces of various shades, which showed the extent of the battle.
Intensity!
Looking past the sad faces of Zheng Song and his sister, Gao Yuan looked in the direction of the Qingyuan Town Gate.
The tall main city gate and the corner gates on both sides have been opened. Through the huge door opening, you can vaguely see the colorful flags in the city. Against the backdrop of the hellish scene outside the city, it looks like a fairyland...
