C224 The Gathering Place of Alchemists
During this period of time after Xiao Jian sent the letter to Heavenly Cloud City and Jialan City, the Savage Wolf Squad had dispatched ordinary people. From time to time, one could see a pair of young men in black clothes walking between the two cities with cold expressions on their faces. However, most of them were at night. If it wasn't for that, it would definitely cause the major families between the two cities to become nervous. It would cause unnecessary trouble.
In the Qingfeng City, which was relatively close to the Jialan City, on the most prosperous Clear Origin Street, a restaurant that took up more than three hundred square meters of land rose from the ground. It quickly caused a sensation in the Qingfeng City. There was an endless stream of customers in front of the door every day.
Compared to this restaurant that was as crowded as a city, the front door of the other restaurants next to it immediately became deserted. It was as cold as the courtyard of a concubine, like a cold palace.
Although the leaders of the restaurants had great opinions, they secretly gnashed their teeth in hatred. However, they didn't dare to show it in the slightest. It could not be helped. It was because the situation was threatening! This was because the branch of Yunlai Wine House, which had recently become the head of the food and beverage industry in Qingfeng City. The patriarch of the Qing family, the overlord of Qingfeng City, and Qing Yiwen had personally come to congratulate him on the opening day of the branch.
He chatted and laughed with the manager of the Yunlai Wine House as if he was his best friend. Furthermore, on the day of the opening, he was talking and laughing. If the Yunlai Wine House encountered any trouble in Qingfeng City, they could come and find him.
Although Qing Yiwen might be joking. However, the leaders of the other restaurants in Qingfeng City didn't dare to treat his words as a joke. The current Qing family was the true Yellow Emperor of Qingfeng City. With a stamp of his foot, the Qingfeng City trembled three times. Everyone knew that the second family, the Jin family, had been destroyed in one night.
It was the family head of the Qing family, Qing Yiwen, and the Qing family, who were all smiling. Therefore, even if he said a joke about the Qing family, it would still be a joke. They would definitely treat him as a pearl-like mantra.
In the three cities of Qingfeng City, the undercurrents were raging and the gongs and drums were busy. After three days of travelling day and night, Xiao Jian finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Pill City.
Looking at the Pill City from afar, it was like a towering nine-legged cauldron that stood between the heavens and the earth. The nine-legged cauldron stood firmly on a plain. It was as if it could hold up the sky and stabilize the earth, bringing great shock to people's hearts.
It was rumored that the city lord of Pill City was a grandmaster alchemist. It seemed that what he said was true. Xiao Jian walked step by step towards Pill City. He paid a low grade Essence Stone at the city gate before entering the city.
This caused Xiao Jian's heart to ache. He had quite a lot of money on him. Only this Essence Stone was his short rib cage, and it was only slightly more than a hundred pieces.
He had also collected a dozen pieces from Dao Ba. It seemed like he had to find a way to earn more Essence Stones to cultivate. After all, Pills could not be used as the main theme to increase one's strength. At this moment, Essence Stones were extremely important.
As they entered the Pill City, streams of people surged within. All kinds of men and women were walking on the streets. Xiao Jian noticed that many of them were wearing antique alchemist robes.
When the people on the streets saw alchemists dressed in alchemist robes, they looked at the alchemists walking past with envy, yearning, respect, and admiration. They were like proud roosters walking past with their heads held high.
Xiao Jian strolled through the Pill City. As soon as he entered the Pill City, he could smell the faint herbal fragrance drifting in the air. It was a refreshing smell, and it made him feel very comfortable. Xiao Jian also felt a sense of familiarity when he smelled it.
Xiao Jian found that the items that were sold the most on the street were related to Pills. There were Pills, spirit herb stores, rare treasures stores, and pill cauldron stores that were innumerable. In the shops next to him, there were all kinds of items needed for cultivation. They were all dazzling, and Xiao Jian's eyes were dazzled by them.
Xiao Jian was the first. A family of small spirit herbs shops started to shop, and they were ready to fight a protracted battle. As he stepped into a shop selling spirit herbs called Thousand Herbs shop, a rich herbal fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils. It was truly like the best description of an ancient saying, and a burst of fragrance assailed his nostrils.
The moment Xiao Jian stepped into the Thousand Herbs Shop, an alchemist in his twenties, who had an ordinary appearance and seemed to be quick-witted, welcomed him. He respectfully asked, "Young master, may I ask what you need to buy? I can introduce you. " After saying that, he quietly looked at Xiao Jian and did not say anything to urge him.
Xiao Jian looked at the quick-witted apprentice alchemist in front of him and could not help but sigh at the quality of the servants in the big cities. He immediately opened his mouth and said, "Your shop has. . . A hundred year old Green Spiritual Grass?" Xiao Jian was afraid that buying the ingredients for the Essence Increasing Pill in one shop would cause others to suspect him. Causing unnecessary trouble. After all, An alchemist grandmaster who was able to concoct the Origin Increasing Pill was in the Pill City, which was known as the gathering place of alchemists. And not many.
In the Pill City, there were only a few low level alchemists, ranging from First to Second Grade. There were only a dozen or so Tier 3 to Tier 4 alchemists. All of them were treated like treasures, enjoying the high honor and treatment. They were respected by everyone, and they were the capable and capable subordinates of the Lord of Pill City. It was also a guarantee of the strength of Pill City.
Because, the rallying power of an alchemist grandmaster was astonishing. Those warriors who wanted to break through their own realm would usually willingly follow the master alchemist and help him take care of some things that were inconvenient for him. Therefore, if the master of Pill City wanted the Pill City to develop and expand, he had to firmly hold these master alchemists in his hands and give them a proper tribute.
And the methods he held tightly to these alchemy grandmasters were those high-value, rare, and rare high-ranked Pills that were hard to come by in a hundred years. The formulas of high-rank Pills were simply rarer than flying martial skills, or even more lacking. Hence, it was even rarer on the continent. Only some major powers and sects that specialized in alchemy had it.
In some remote and remote mountains and forests that were known as the forbidden lands of human martial artists, there might also be some Pills left behind by senior experts from hundreds of years ago. The rarity of high-ranked Pills formulas were restricted by rules such as gathering and not spreading them to outsiders. Hence, it created a huge attraction of high-ranked Pills formulas.
Therefore, Xiao Jian's worries were necessary and feasible.
When he heard the medicinal ingredients that Xiao Jian had reported, the apprentice alchemist thought about it and gave Xiao Jian a happy ending. "What Young Master wants is the grade three spirit grass, the Azure Spirit Grass, right? Our store still has two more stalks of it. It's just that I wonder how many stalks Sir needs? " The medicine boy asked for confirmation.
The first three levels of spirit herbs are divided into one level every 50 years. They are divided into first and second levels. Third level. First grade was not counted, as long as it was fifty years old. It was fine. The latter three levels were, in a hundred years, one level. From Rank-4 to Rank-6. The last tier 7 spirit grass was also known as the king level spirit grass. The lowest was a thousand years old. )
"What's the price of a grade three spirit herb?" Xiao Jian asked tentatively. He couldn't let anyone see his inner thoughts clearly. This was the same method he used to buy things. Xiao Jian had tried it many times in his past life.
"A grade three Green Spiritual Grass is worth ten low grade Essence Stones. Of course, you can also pay with gold coins. " The apprentice alchemist reported a sky-high price that caused Xiao Jian to stare in shock.
"Uh, Xiao Jian was stunned for a while. It turned out that he had always felt that he didn't have to worry about spending money ever since the Yunlai Wine House expanded its business. It turned out that it wasn't like that at all. It was just that he had never entered the upper circle of this continent. In front of them, I'm still a penniless beggar. "
Finally, under the respectful gaze of the medicine boy, Xiao Jian paid the bill in a carefree manner and bought all the two grade three spirit herbs. He walked out in large strides.
It was just that he didn't know that Xiao Jian's heart was actually dripping blood.1
