Chapter 5 There are so many spirit crystals that there is nowhere to spend
When he was in a good mood, Zhong Wen walked quickly in the mountains and forests with extremely light steps.
If you look closely, you can see that his toes are like dragonflies touching water, his body seems to be floating in mid-air, his posture is elegant and agile, and his forward speed is extremely fast.
"Immortal Step in the Clouds" is a very clever body technique, but it is only used by the disciples of the Medicine King Valley to collect elixir in places such as cliffs.
In Zhong Wen's opinion, this is simply a tyrannical thing.
With spiritual power, he now performs this technique, feeling the evening breeze blowing on his face, watching the trees on both sides fly behind him, and feeling that he is really a young man like the wind.
If I go to deliver a courier, do other courier guys still have a way to live?
He felt that he had discovered the true potential of "Immortal Steps in the Clouds".
The moment he opened the ring in the Medicine King Valley, he was shocked by the items in the storage space, and the Medicine King Valley Valley Lord didn't even bother to put spirit crystals in the ring.
In the space of about ten cubic meters, in addition to the alchemy furnace and the golden needle for acupuncture carried by the valley master, there were all kinds of rare treasures, rare elixirs and elixir seeds, and a bunch of spirit crystal nuclei were discarded in the corner like a happy color, accompanied by the ordinary spirit crystals stuffed by Zhong Wen.
Unlike the elixir planted in the Valley of the Medicine King, the elixir and seeds in the ring did not die with the passage of time, but were full of vitality.
This is also one of the characteristics of storage rings, in the ring space, time stops flowing, things put in what they are, what they come out is, there will be no change, of course, because of this, it is not possible to store living things.
In addition to becoming rich and rivaling the country, Zhong Wen also got a surprise.
Before leaving the Medicine King Valley, the thirsty Zhong Wen planned to go to the lake to get some water to quench his thirst, but as soon as he swallowed a mouthful of water, he choked and quickly spit it out.
It's so salty!
Salty to bitter!
Zhong Wen was annoyed at first, and then surprised.
It's a salt water lake!
Zhong Wen, who had been eating coarse tea and light rice in the past few days, took out the alchemy furnace of the Valley Lord of the Medicine King Valley from the ring without saying a word, filled it with lake water, and took it with him.
If you let the Valley Lord of the Medicine King Valley know that the top-level alchemy furnace that he spent a lot of money to build was used by Zhong Wen to fill the lake water, I was afraid that the skeleton would crawl out of the bed and take him away.
When I returned to the Floating Flower Palace, it was close to midnight, and the sky began to turn slightly white.
Stepping on the immortal steps in the clouds all the way, Zhong Wen, who had just stepped into the realm of the human wheel, had meager spiritual power after all, even if the consumption of this body method was not large, he was still tired and sweating profusely.
Pushing open the door lightly, he was surprised to find that Liu Qiqi was already practicing swords in the courtyard.
Don't be so diligent!
The two looked at each other, a hint of embarrassment wafting through the air.
"You went out last night?" asked Liu Qiqi, with a hint of alarm in his tone.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so I got up and went out for a run to get some exercise. Zhong Wen was in a hurry.
"Your body is really too weak. Liu Qiqi saw Zhong Wen sweating profusely, but he also accepted his words, "Hurry up and rush to the back, you haven't cultivated spiritual power, and it's easy to catch a cold if you sweat and don't dry it." ”
Zhong Wen nodded: "Miss Liu, do you get up so early every day to practice swords?"
"Master got up earlier than me. Liu Qiqi mentioned her master, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, "I don't know when I will reach the realm of master." ”
"You work so hard, you can do it. Zhong Wen smiled and encouraged, then ran back to the room to grab the washbasin and went to the well in the backyard to fetch water.
Looking at the back of Zhong Wen leaving, Liu Qiqi felt that there seemed to be some changes in him, but he couldn't say it.
Shaking her head suspiciously, she returned to swordsmanship training.
Back in the room, Zhong Wen took off his shirt and wiped his body with a cloth squeezing the well water in the basin.
Even in summer, the mountains are not very hot, and the well water is a little cold on his body, but fortunately, Zhong Wen has already begun to cultivate the "One Qi Longevity Formula", which can be tolerated.
After wiping his upper body, he had just taken off his trousers when there was a knock on the door of "tuk tuk" outside.
"Please come in!" Zhong Wen responded as he hurriedly put on his pants.
The sister-in-law who pushed the door in saw Zhong Wen's upper body at a glance, her face was slightly red, but she did not avoid it, but looked up and down with interest.
"Sister-in-law Wang, is there something wrong?" Zhong Wen asked as he picked up his shirt to wear.
"I was about to go to do the laundry, and I wanted to ask Mr. Zhong if there was any clothes that needed to be changed, so I could take them with me. Sister-in-law Wang's accent was soft, and there was a feeling of gentleness and grace, "Since Mr. Zhong is scrubbing his body, then leave the clothes to me." ”
"This ...... That's all I have. Zhong Wen scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Poof!" Sister-in-law Wang was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I'm sorry, I was negligent, Mr. Zhong, I'll measure your figure, and when you go down the mountain to buy vegetables, I'll bring you a few suitable clothes." ”
Widow Wang was already handsome, and this smile was even more indescribably charming and moving, and Zhong Wen's heart jumped when he saw it.
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you going down the mountain? Can I go with you?" Zhong Wen's mentality changed a lot overnight, he was no longer timid, and he was a little more curious about the world under the mountain.
"Qingfeng Mountain is about 800 meters high, Mr. Zhong has not recovered from his injury soon, will he be too tired to go down the mountain now?"
"No, I'm already fine, and it's not beautiful to recuperate, so it's better to move your muscles and bones to help you recover. Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "Also, sister-in-law Wang, don't call Mr. Zhong Zhong, if you don't dislike it, call me Zhong Wen." ”
"Okay, Zhong Wen, wait for you to go down the mountain together, I'll take you to the village for a walk, and buy a few ready-to-wear clothes by the way. Sister-in-law Wang said happily.
"Well, then you wait, I'll wipe it off... Body. Zhong Wen held back for a long time and did not say the word "lower body".
"I'll go pick up again, and we'll meet in the yard in a moment. After all, Sister-in-law Wang was a person who came over, and she quickly understood, closed the door with a smile and left.
Seeing Sister-in-law Wang leaving, Zhong Wen, who was relieved, quickly finished scrubbing, it turned out that the set of clothes on his body had not been dried yet, but he couldn't care so much, so he hurriedly finished wearing and came to the compound.
Sister-in-law Wang had already been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, changing into a light yellow cloth dress, with a bunch of rose-red belts around her waist, which set off her graceful figure.
"What is this?" Zhong Wen said curiously when he saw that his sister-in-law was carrying a large cloth bag in each hand.
"This is Lese, and we have to go down the mountain to dispose of it. "Sister-in-law Wang's thin figure is carrying two big bags, but she doesn't look struggling.
"I'll take it for you. Zhong Wen volunteered.
"No, no, you're a guest, how can you make a joke. Sister-in-law Wang shook her head again and again.
Zhong Wen couldn't help but say, and snatched the cloth bag from the hands of his sister-in-law: "With a big man in my hall, how can you let a beautiful woman do manual work." ”
"Zhong Wen, what are you talking about, with my old wife here, how can you men do these dirty work. Sister-in-law Wang obviously didn't understand Zhong Wen's logic, after all, this is a world where men are extremely inferior to women.
"Where is Sister-in-law Wang, if you don't say it, I will think that you are a twenty-eight-year-old daughter. ”
Sister-in-law Wang smiled and leaned back: "I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be a flamboyant tongue." ”
After laughing like this, the two got a lot closer to each other, and they went down the mountain together with a joke.
Zhong Wen carried two large cloth bags, only to feel that the spiritual power in his body was flowing endlessly to his limbs and hundreds of remains, and he did not feel a trace of fatigue after walking on the mountain road for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh that "One Qi Longevity Formula" was really outstanding.
And Wang's sister-in-law, who walked in front of Zhong Wen, was also light and energetic.
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you also a cultivator?" Zhong Wen couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a peasant woman, how can I have this blessing, but I've been helping in the Floating Flower Palace, the palace master can't bear to see me working hard, and has taught some methods of practicing qi, insisting every day, my body and bones are also a lot stronger, and I won't be tired when I climb up and down in the mountains. ”
"It seems that this Floating Flower Palace Master is a good person. Zhong Wen praised.
"The Lord of the Forest Palace is a living Bodhisattva who has descended into the world, a fairy-like figure. Sister-in-law Wang's face showed reverence.
The two of them walked quickly, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short time, and Zhong Wen could see the green farmland in the distance.
"That's Qingfeng Village over there. Sister-in-law Wang introduced, "Qingfeng Mountain belongs to the Floating Flower Palace within a radius of 100 miles, the land in the village is fertile, the spiritual energy is abundant, in addition to planting grain and vegetables, the farmers will also plant some elixirs according to the instructions of the forest palace master, which will be purchased by the Floating Flower Palace and taken to Cangyun City to sell." ”
Approaching the village, Zhong Wen really found a medicinal field in the east and west in the large farmland, the elixir planted in it was strong in appearance and full in color, although the appearance was not as good as those top medicinal materials in the storage ring, but it was also very extraordinary.
After another moment or so, the two appeared in a more lively part of the village.
"When I arrived, I was at Aunt Liu's house in front of me. Sister-in-law Wang pointed to a bungalow and said, "Auntie makes a living by making clothes for men, women and children in the village on weekdays, and I think there will be some ready-made men's clothes at home." ”
"Sister-in-law Wang, you also know that my memory has not recovered now, and I can't remember most of the things, how many spirit crystals do you need for a set of adult men's clothes?" Zhong Wen humbly asked for advice, he didn't know anything about prices.
"Lingjing?" Sister-in-law Wang once again showed that kind of mentally retarded look, angry and funny, "My young master Zhongwen, the coarse cloth clothes in the village, where can I use Lingjing to change, a set of clothes is only one silver dollar is enough." ”
"Is it, spirit crystals are so valuable?" Zhong Wen unconsciously glanced at the mountains of spirit crystals piled up in the ring.
"You really don't remember anything. Sister-in-law Wang patiently explained, "Spirit crystals are usually used in transactions between cultivators, and a hundred silver dollars can't be exchanged for a spirit crystal." ”
"It's so precious? I saw that the lighting in the room also uses spirit crystals, and I thought it was ......."
"The spirit lamp in the house, put a piece of spirit crystal, can illuminate a year. ”
"It's embarrassing. Zhong Wen frowned, "I only have spirit crystals on me, what if I don't have silver dollars?"
Sister-in-law Wang: "......"
She didn't want to talk to Zhong Wen anymore.
Zhong Wen suddenly put down the cloth bag and reached out to take out a spirit crystal from his pocket, of course, this was just a fake action to disguise the storage ring.
"Sister-in-law Wang, I'm not familiar with this place, can I exchange this spirit crystal for some silver dollars with you?"
"But...... I can't get that many silver dollars. ”
"It doesn't need that much, just a few sets of clothes. Zhong Wen looked sincere, "Anyway, the spirit crystal is not of much use to me." ”
"This, how can this be, it's too much of an advantage for you. Although Sister-in-law Wang was a little greedy, she still waved her hand again and again.
Zhong Wen didn't say a word, grabbed Sister-in-law Wang's hand and stuffed the spirit crystal in her palm: "It's so decided, I have to trouble Sister-in-law Wang to palm my eyes for me and choose two suitable clothes." ”
Sister-in-law Wang's palms seem to be white, but under the touch, they are also calloused like ordinary peasant women.
"That'...... Okay, I'll keep it for you. "This beautiful woman finally failed to resist the temptation of the spirit crystal.
After receiving Zhong Wen's benefits, Sister-in-law Wang's attitude was much warmer, and she chose a few sets of clothes for him very intimately, and at Zhong Wen's request, she accompanied him to purchase crockpots, flints and other things.
After gathering all the utensils for burning coarse salt, Zhong Wen followed Wang's sister-in-law to find the vegetable farmer to buy ingredients, and just when Wang's sister-in-law was picking and choosing the things on the vegetable farmer's stall and bargaining, Zhong Wen suddenly caught a glimpse of the old hen raised in the yard behind the vegetable farmer.
Several old hens were fed extremely fat, and they paced around the yard with great energy.
"Uncle, do you sell this old hen?" After eating a vegetarian diet without salt for two days, Zhong Wen almost drooled when he saw the hen.
"As long as the price is good, what can't be sold?" the vegetable farmer uncle was very happy, "Little brother is not a local, right? Seeing that you came with the sister of the Wang family, I won't kill you, five silver dollars a piece, the real price, take it if you want." ”
"Zhong Wen, this chicken is not cheap. Sister-in-law Wang thought that Zhong Wen wanted her to buy chickens, and her face was reluctant.
"Sister Wang, I can't listen to what you say, little brother, you go around and inquire, who doesn't know that my old Li Tou is the most sincere in trading, you will definitely not find a cheaper and better chicken than me." Uncle Vegetable Farmer said anxiously.
"Uncle is a real person at first glance, I think this hen is quite fat, if I buy a few more, can it be cheaper?" Zhong Wen smiled and reassured.
"Little brother, I like to hear what you say, so let's do it, if you buy five, I will only charge you twenty silver dollars. ”
"Okay, uncle, I'll order twenty-five with you first. Zhong Wen grinned and took out another piece of spirit crystal, "But I don't have a silver dollar, can I take this as a substitute?"
"It's... Is this, Lingjing?" the vegetable farmer Lao Li's eyes widened, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Zhong Wen, you ......" Zhong Wen's loser scared Sister-in-law Wang.
"It's okay, anyway, I have so many spirit crystals that I have nowhere to spend, so it's better to use them to improve the food for everyone. Zhong Wen casually threw the spirit crystal in front of the vegetable farmer Lao Li, "Uncle, I will come to get one every day in the future, if I don't come, just give it to Sister-in-law Wang." ”
"Okay!" Lao Li hurriedly stuffed the spirit crystal into his arms, for fear that Zhong Wen would regret it, so he hurriedly ran into the yard and caught an old hen and handed it to Zhong Wen.
Sister-in-law Wang couldn't cry or laugh when she watched it, and she was about to scold for a while, thinking that Zhong Wen spent her own spirit crystal, and it was not her turn to make irresponsible remarks, so she had to sigh distressedly.
"A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand!" On the way back to the mountain, Zhong Wen grabbed the bag in the hands of his sister-in-law very gentlemanly, with a chicken in his left hand and a vegetable in his right hand, humming a little tune, extremely satisfied.
Sister-in-law Wang followed behind, staring at Zhong Wen's back, not knowing what she was thinking......
Jin Yuanwai lowered his head and stood tremblingly at the bottom of the hall, from time to time he sneaked a glance at the Taishi sitting on the Taishi chair from the corner of his eye.
Tan Taijin's eyes suddenly swept over, and Jin Yuanwai only felt trembling all over, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The son of the Tantai family, who was only in his early thirties, held a high position, and the power he unintentionally exuded brought great pressure to Jin Yuanwai.
"Everything is done?" said a cold voice, without a trace of emotion.
"Eldest and eldest prince, please rest assured, as long as there is no accident on the Cangyun City side, this money will not be returned to the Floating Flower Palace no matter what, and Lin Zhiyun will definitely let this Qingfeng Mountain come out at that time. Jin Yuanwai's fat face said with a flattering smile.
"Cangyun City's side will be handled by our Tantai family, and there will be no problem. A sneer appeared on his face, "Such a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy is not something that a few girls can occupy, it's time for Qingfeng Mountain to change its owner." ”
"Eldest prince, do you think that in the past two days, the little ones have gone to the Floating Flower Palace to put some pressure on those chicks?"
"No, the deadline is less, and it's not much use to go, since it can be solved by legal means, I don't mind waiting a few more days. "In five days, I will send someone to accompany you up the mountain, if the people in the Floating Flower Palace leave obediently, otherwise I don't mind using force." ”
"Eldest prince, if those ladies don't cooperate, can your people arrest them and hand them over to the villain?" Thinking of the beautiful appearance of the palace master of the Floating Flower Palace, the golden man's eyes were full of lewdness, and a trace of liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Whatever you want. Zhan Tai looked at the ugly face of the fat pig outside the gold clerk, and his heart was disgusted.
When the matter is done, the fat pig will have no use value......
"Lin Palace Lord, the city lord is in poor health and it is inconvenient to see guests, please go back. ”
Looking at the indifferent face of the porter, Lin Zhiyun felt irritable in her heart.
"This little brother, I really have something important to discuss, can you please go in and report it again, there will be a good reward for the success. She swallowed her anger and made a fool of herself.
"I'm sorry, the order of the city lord, the small one is not easy to disobey, the palace lord of the forest still has to wait for ten days and half a month, and then come to see you when the lord recovers." The little guy's tone was cold and resolute.
As the so-called Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult.
If he is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, he will inevitably give the little guy some benefits first, and then ask him for help, but Lin Zhiyun is not good at interpersonal communication, and she doesn't even understand these simple truths.
"Things are in a hurry, I really can't wait for ten days and half a month. Lin Zhiyun's tone gradually became impatient.
"Lin Palace Master, you are a high-ranking cultivator, you want to come and travel widely, if you don't go elsewhere and ask, why bother me here. There was a hint of sarcasm in the porter's tone.
"You ......" Lin Zhiyun almost wanted to get angry, but finally endured it, "Farewell!"
"What about cultivators? If the Tantai family wants to deal with you, even the city lord can't protect it, let's see how long you can jump. Looking at Lin Zhiyun's departing figure, the little maid sneered and muttered to himself, "But this Lin Palace Lord is good-looking, if he is willing to put down his body and be a little wife to the city lord, it may not be impossible to solve the current difficulty, but it's a pity ......."
