In the early morning of the next day, the inn where everyone stayed was bustling with activity, and horses kept neighing. Almost all the guests staying in the inn were mercenaries who were on a protection mission with Bai Hua and others.
The children of the Lu family who were protected were all about the same age as Xia Yan, but they spoke coldly and arrogantly. In their eyes, these mercenaries were naturally incomparable to their status.
Xia Yan temporarily bought some potions for treating trauma and detoxifying in Niu She Town. In addition, he also bought an "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland". This time when he entered the Sinful Forest, Xia Yan was looking for medicinal materials.
Pipa grass, but he was not proficient in medicinal materials originally, and he might not be able to recognize it even if he encountered it. However, in this "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Continent", almost all types of medicinal materials and minerals on the mainland are recorded.
Although it is expensive, it is worth it.
As the sun rose, everyone had already left Bull Snake Town and continued to move towards the north. Along the way, everyone's figures gradually disappeared into the distance due to the smoke and dust.
Thirty miles further north is the first fortress in the mainland. This fortress is not usually heavily defended. Only when the Dark Night Continent's army invades in large numbers will a huge army be gathered from the entire continent under the mobilization of the Holy Land.
Come here to defend yourself from the enemy.
Bai Rui had been walking with Xia Yan. She couldn't help but be curious when she saw Xia Yan reading the thick "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland" while walking.
This illustrated book costs one gold coin even in Baiqing City. In Niu She Town, the price seems to be more expensive. Bai Rui is a little confused as to why Xia Yan bought this illustrated book temporarily.
Xia Yan was still concentrating on reading while walking with the team, which made Bai Rui keep thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. Looking at Xia Yan's concentration, it didn't seem like he was pretending.
Bai Rui naturally didn't know Xia Yan's ability. After Xia Yan practiced the Lingluo Heart Technique, his memory ability was extraordinary. He could remember even those enigmatic classics, let alone this mere "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland".
Xia Yan only needs to read it once and he can write down what all the ores and medicinal materials look like, as well as various characteristics, smells, etc. Xia Yan can repeat it word for word.
Several disciples of the Lu family were sitting on the spacious carriage, their eyes sweeping over the mercenaries from time to time, occasionally showing disdain.
"Um?"
Xia Yan's eyes flashed.
Unknowingly, the illustrated book had been flipped through to the last few pages. In these last few pages, the color of the paper was different from the previous ones, and the fonts were much larger. Xia Yan saw on the front page, clearly written
It has the words "Top Ten Rare Things" in Dragon Continent.
Look below, there are pictures of some very strange-looking medicinal materials and minerals, with detailed introductions above.
"Ten rare treasures!" Xia Yan shook his head, excitement flashing in his eyes.
He saw the introduction in the illustrated book saying that each of these ten rare treasures is a priceless treasure that cannot be bought on the mainland, no matter how many gold coins you have. Any kind of medicinal materials and ores are worth countless cultivations.
Treasures that people are frantically pursuing. However, these things are almost legends on the mainland.
In front of the top ten rare things, there are many special medicinal materials and ores introduced, all of which are priceless treasures. But when Xia Yan saw these top ten rare things, he couldn't help but feel that the ones in front of them were priceless and specially marked medicinal materials.
and ores, all very average.
"Sure enough, it is one of the top ten treasures!" After Xia Yan finished reading, he sighed and praised in a low voice.
"Hey, it's a pity that you can only meet them but you can't ask for them." Xia Yan chuckled. Although the ten rare treasures are good, they cannot be forced. To get these rare treasures, you need chance.
“What can be met but cannot be sought?”
Seeing Xia Yan closing the illustrated book, Bai Rui finally spoke. Just then she saw Xia Yan looking at the illustrated book seriously, but Bai Rui had not been disturbed.
"Oh, it's one of the top ten rare treasures in the mainland!" Xia Yan smiled and raised the illustrated book in his hand and said, "Bai Rui, have you seen the illustrated book before?"
Bai Rui curled her lips and said, "We mercenaries, if we haven't read the illustrations, what kind of mercenaries are we? How about you, haven't you ever seen the illustrations before?"
Xia Yan's question was indeed a bit silly. When Bai Rui said this, Xia Yan could only laugh a few times.
"Well, I have never seen it before. I have been busy practicing. This time I entered the Sin Forest to find a medicinal material, so I took a look at this illustrated book temporarily to avoid seeing the medicinal material but not recognizing it." Xia Yanqing
said with a smile.
Bai Rui's beautiful eyes turned, a delicate smile appeared on her face and she said: "Then you are just improvising. Did you see the medicinal materials and then take out the illustrated book to compare them one by one?"
Xia Yan shook his head, put the illustrated book into the package behind his back and said, "I have memorized all the contents above. Now I will recognize those medicinal materials when I see them."
Bai Rui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She pointed at Xia Yan with a finger as slender as white jade, making her branches tremble with laughter.
Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui in confusion and frowned slightly.
Bai Rui laughed for a long time, and then said breathlessly: "I found that you are really funny, cute and talk nonsense. Yesterday you said you wanted to attack the realm of spiritual masters, and today I read this illustration in less than half a day.
He said that he had memorized everything. Haha, if you want to talk big, you have to say something that can make people believe it!"
Hearing what Bai Rui said, Xia Yan rolled his eyes. It turned out that Bai Rui thought he was talking big words.
"Hmph~"
A cold snort came from the carriage.
Among these children of the Lu family, one is a woman. She is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is quite pretty, but compared to Xia Zixin, Wang Yuyan and other women, she is a notch behind. Even Bai Rui is more beautiful than her.
A few minutes ago. Ever since she saw Xia Yan, the woman had been focusing on Xia Yan from time to time.
Seeing Bai Rui and Xia Yan joking at this time, she must have felt uncomfortable, so she just snorted.
Bai Rui looked at the carriage with beautiful eyes and didn't mind.
"Hey, actually you really shouldn't spend so much money on the illustrated book. When you see the medicinal materials and then take out the illustrated book to compare, it's too late. Someone has already snatched them away. What medicinal materials are you looking for?
I'll ask my brother to find it for you." Bai Rui ignored the snorts and jealous glances in the carriage, and said happily to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "I really wrote it all down. This illustration is no longer useful to me now."
Bai Rui puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "You really want to save face, so tell me, how many medicinal materials and minerals are there in this illustrated book."
Obviously, Bai Rui wants to embarrass Xia Yan. Even if most people memorize all the medicinal materials and minerals in the illustrated book, they probably won't know how many kinds there are.
Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui and found a cunning glint in Bai Rui's eyes, and laughed.
"What, you can't speak out? I told you to talk big!" Bai Rui raised her pink fist proudly.
Xia Yan said: "There are a total of 548 primary, intermediate and high-level medicinal materials, 42 special medicinal materials, and seven rare medicinal materials. There are a total of 53 ores, 11 special ores, and three rare medicinal materials.
