Chapter 19: Weston

Meilong Town, located at the foot of the Yin Mountain Corner, was once just a poor mountain village, but because it was the closest to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, over time, it developed into the largest supply town in the Tianxuan Kingdom. If you only talk about the degree of prosperity, it is not weaker than some second- and third-tier medium-sized cities.

Meilong Town is mixed, eighty percent of the people here are going to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range for training, there are mercenaries, sergeants, or people who come out of a certain family or sect like Ji Fan to experience and so on.

Wide dirt roads crisscross the town, with deep marks of wheels running over the surface, inns and taverns lining the road, vendors standing in front of their stalls shouting and selling goods over and over again, and pedestrians walking through the town to buy all kinds of necessities to get up the mountain.

Walking on the dirt road of the town, the bustle and prosperity of the town washed away the gloom that was blocked in his heart, Ji Fan's eyes were full of curiosity, and he sighed almost step by step, next to Yue Qing was introducing him to the general situation of the town, and the two of them said while walking, and walked into the center of the town in the sound of vendors on both sides.

After wandering around for a few hours, the two of them were also a little interested, found an inn to put down their baggage, stayed in the room until noon before going downstairs, sat down in a window position, ordered a few dishes and looked out the window at the hustle and bustle of the street.

"Senior brother, what are we going to do next. ”

"Hmm... Later, I will go to buy some things to use in the mountains, and then go to the bounty guild. Yue Qing crossed his chin with his fingers crossed.

"Go to the Bounty Guild, are we going to do a mission?" Ji Fan wondered, Ji Fan already had a little understanding of Meilong Town, the Bounty Guild is a kind of trade union that obtains rewards for completing tasks, and its power is extremely large, covering all major cities and towns in the Tianxuan Kingdom.

"No, it's just a bounty booklet, and there are some things on it that will help you understand this mountain range faster. ”

Ji Fan nodded.

......

"Have you heard, someone has found a three-grade elixir in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range!"

"What kind of elixir?"

"It's a tiger ginseng, which not only increases aura, but also seems to have the effect of strengthening the body!"

Just after noon, two big men sat down at the next table, and they started talking in the middle of the meal, but a shocking news was revealed, and many people in the inn slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"That tiger ginseng...... Where?" The bald man at the same table swallowed wildly.

"According to the herb picker, on a cliff in the northeast of the mountain range, hey, it's a pity that the herb picker is a big mouth, and many people are now going into the mountains to look for it!"

The bearded man with his face was full of pity, and as soon as his voice fell, many people got up and left, and suddenly the overcrowded inn was much empty.

"Senior brother, we..."

Ji Fan was new to the world, and he was full of curiosity about everything, especially a person like him who often came into contact with elixirs, the three-grade elixir had a fatal attraction to him, and he knew very well what kind of value this level of elixir had!

He really wanted to join in the fun, so he looked at Yue Qing and asked for his opinion, but saw Yue Qing drinking tea quietly.

"Eat first. Yue Qing's expression was calm, as if the third-grade elixir was not attractive to him, but after only a few minutes, Ji Fan understood why.

"Second brother, there are so many people going up the mountain, and those people also have a headache. The bald head saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the inn, and his exaggerated expression gradually subsided, and he said in a low voice.

"Hehe, I don't think they have time to chase us anymore. A gleam flashed in the bearded man's eyes and he sneered.

"Second brother, now that we have got that thing, let's tell you the truth, should we go away......" The bald man said tentatively.

The bearded man shook his head and said faintly, "Let's wait until the leader is over." ”

The bald man lowered his head in silence, the bearded man rolled his eyes helplessly, and after a while, he hooked his fingers, and the bald man hurriedly put his ears up.

"When the time comes......"

His eyes flickered, and his expression was gloomy, and he saw that the bald man's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

"That's it!" the bald head smiled and clenched his fist.

Reaching a consensus, the two were very happy, one would call each other brothers, one would raise a glass and drink, and only then got up and left when they were full of wine and food, and the moment they turned around, Ji Fan saw that the bald man had a scorpion-like tattoo tattoo on the back ear.

"Now I understand, the world is sinister, the three-grade elixir is just a bait, I don't know if there is one, if we go with that group of people just now, wouldn't we also be used as a gunman?"

Yue Qing seemed to be smiling, Ji Fan frowned, he didn't expect to teach him a lesson on the first day of going down the mountain.

"But they got something. Yue Qing pinched his forehead, looking quite interested.

"Do you want to ...... then" Ji Fan looked at the two people who were far away outside the window, and a little fire appeared in his eyes. Meaning to keep up or not.

Yue Qing shook his head and said, "It's better not to, those two people are plotting against each other to harbor evil intentions, with the slight cultivation of the two of us, I'm afraid we will strayed into danger, let's go to the bounty club to take over the task experience." ”

At this time, the dishes were ready, Yue Qing chatted while eating, and quickly finished eating and went downstairs.

...

In a wide alley in the northwest corner of Meilong Town, there are a lot of people gathered at this moment, in the center of the crowd, there is a long table under the vermilion gate, and two guards are next to it to maintain order, this is the bounty party.

The two approached, and a thick stack of manuals was placed on the long table, Ji Fan picked up a copy casually and flipped through it, and the various bounty tasks were marked in detail, with pictures and texts, which was easier for people to understand.

"Reward, a product of fire leaf flowers, a reward of five hundred spirit stones......"

"First-order water attribute spirit core, reward 1,000 spirit stones......"

"Li Qingfeng, the eighth stage of the strength and aura realm, his appearance is ...... Reward 3,000 spars......"

"Senior brother, can people also offer rewards? Ji Fan asked in surprise.

"yes, if the pay is high enough. ”

Ji Fan nodded in understanding, after all, this is a world of the jungle.

Someone in the back was urging, and the two of them took out a copy and delivered a spirit crystal, after all, these manuals also cost money.

"Let's go, buy and buy things for the mountains, we will eat and live on the mountains in the future, but you will feel better." Dry food is indispensable, flint for fire, incense for insect repellent ......"

The two of them went to the commodity area to buy the necessities of life, Yue Qing chattered non-stop beside him, Ji Fan's eyes were dumbfounded, and he didn't know if he had listened to it, and when he looked closely, the dark pupils reflected a cloud-covered mountain range in the distance, and his face was full of expectation.

As the sun set, the two returned to the inn with a large number of items, ate a light meal, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, the two of them went on the road full of energy, walked out of Meilong Town, and looked at the endless green mountains in the distance, there were already a lot of practitioners walking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked straight in that direction.

Halfway through, Ji Fan noticed that the surroundings were full of vigilance between the eight directions, and even gradually distanced themselves, and couldn't help but ask Yue Qing in doubt, but saw him smile and said: "This place is very cruel, many times practitioners will not die under ordinary dangers, after all, the depths of this mountain are a good place to make money and kill people." ”

"I see. ”

Ji Fan nodded, and looked at the people around him in the same direction, and his eyes were also full of vigilance.

...

As soon as they entered the mountain range, the practitioners scattered in all directions in an instant like a flock of frightened birds, and Ji Fan and the others were no exception, after all, this was a way to protect themselves, and they rushed out far away in one direction, and the two of them saw that the surroundings were already empty, so they slowed down.

After walking less than 100 meters, suddenly, several big men jumped out of the woods next to them and surrounded the two, they were holding large knives, their faces were fierce, the leader's shiny head was still tied with a long braid, and his fingers touched the earrings on his left ear, which looked nondescript.

"You guys, leave the things, and then, get out!" The leader stepped forward, swept the two of them with slanted eyebrows, and said viciously, Ji Fan's face was a little confused, this is, met the legendary robber?

He was eager to try, but was held down by Yue Qing on the shoulder.

"Here you go, come and get it!" Yue Qing agreed very happily, his fingers hooked the burden, and said lightly.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!"

The man snorted lightly and swaggered over, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Yue Qing's eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc, stepping out, and at the same time there was an extra dagger in his hand, and after a dazzling movement, the knife was on the man's neck.

"Chief!"

"You let go of our boss!"

"One step closer, I didn't know that he would lose that piece of meat!" Yue Qing had a dagger in his hand and the cold light shimmered, gesturing at the man, and the group of robbers hurriedly stopped.

"Little brother, there's something to discuss, but don't be impulsive. The man panicked, his face covered in cold sweat, and he tore out an ugly smile.

"Last time, that wave of robbers left a hand for me, what do you want to keep?" The situation is stable, Yue Qing looked at him with a smile, his tone was calm, his expression was kind, Ji Fan also put away the dagger, and looked at the soft-footed shrimp in front of him with disdain.

"Don't don't, don't, little brother, oh no, uncle, I can exchange things for my life, I will exchange things for things!"

"Oh, then I'd like to see how much your life is worth. Yue Qing raised his eyebrows and said with interest.

The man sweated like rain, wiped a handful of sweat, and groped in his arms with trembling palms, and took out a black thing about the size of a sesame bean.

"That's what your life is worth?"

Yue Qing glared, and Ji Fan next to him swept the seed-like thing, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel like a baby, and his face suddenly looked strange.

"Little brother...... Uncle, this is the most capable thing on my body, this is the seed of the three-core grass!"

The man looked at him with a look of "ignorance", Ji Fan suddenly became interested, he had a lot of contact with elixirs every day, but it was only limited to ordinary herbs and first-grade elixirs, and it was also the kind that knew nothing, three-core grass, this name sounds very advanced!

"Yo, this is actually the seed of the three-core grass!" Yue Qing put on an exaggerated expression, the man looked sneering, and laughed, suddenly, Yue Qing slapped him on the head, and laughed angrily: "It takes at least one or two hundred years for the three-core grass to mature, do you plan for me to eat it again when I go to the Spirit Emperor?!"

Ji Fan's interest disappeared in an instant.

"Give me everything you've got on you!"

"This ......"

"What is this, hurry up!"

Ji Fan looked at him with strange eyes, is this considered a robbery?

The man's face was embarrassed, but under Yue Qing's coercion, he could only helplessly take them out one by one, Ji Fan's eyes became brighter and brighter, because in addition to some precious playthings and spirit stones, there was also a first-grade spirit grass.

He squatted down with bright eyes, picked up a strange-looking thing, and was curious to ask what it was, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a black rosary the size of a dragon's eye in the man's hand flashing away, and his expression was as if nothing happened.

"Hand over the one in your hand!" Ji Fan hurriedly shouted, very excited, because intuitively, that was the most important thing.

The man's face changed, staring at Ji Fan deeply, Yue Qing was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he snatched the thing from his hand.

"Dare to keep it for me!"

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of good things, but what is this bead for, can you tell me?" Yue Qing pinched the bead and asked with a smile.

"Here's the map. The man lowered his head, his face was full of gloom, peeking at Yue Qing's threatening expression, and said reluctantly, Ji Fan's eyes lit up, and he came up with interest.

Yue Qing looked at it carefully, his face changed for a moment, he squinted at the person slightly, nodded, and asked, "Do you know where it is?"

"I don't know, I didn't find it. The man's eyes sparkled, and he said.

"You're lying!" Yue Qing exerted his strength slightly, and suddenly the sharp knife dagger left a bloody mark on his neck.

"There are just a few simple strokes on it, not even a word, I know a ghost. The man was a little anxious.

"I dare to talk back to you!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

After a long time, he couldn't ask why, Yue Qing had to give up the 'forced confession', after all, with the intelligence of this group of robbers, it would have taken a lot of effort to know that this was a map.

With the last kick, he kicked the leader into the crowd and said, "Get out of here, don't let me see you again." ”

After the freedom, the man changed his previous attitude of admitting it, rubbed his neck and stared at Ji Fan and the two of them suspiciously, and shouted: "Brothers, give me ......!"

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Yue Qing turn around suddenly, and the aura suddenly exploded, and a cold aura suddenly spread under his feet.

The man's eyes constricted, and his voice changed and he said in a hurry: "Farewell these two masters to me!"

Ji Fan sneered and shook his head, this person's mental agility and desire to survive are simply not too strong.

The scene looked stiff, the two of them ignored the things on the ground and put away the things, when the last item was put away, Yue Qing nodded to the person kindly, the leader looked at it, his face twitched slightly, and finally forced an ugly smile, he said hello, and walked away with Ji Fan under a stiff look.

"Boss, why don't you go up, as long as you give an order, the brothers will hack the two of them to death in minutes, look at their arrogance!" After Ji Fan and the two walked away, a big man spat and said, and the other bandits were also very angry and catered to them.

"Fuck off, that baby has at least eight stages of aura, who will kill whom?" the man turned his face and yelled, saliva spraying the man's face.

"So strong?!" the bandit sweated when he heard this, and the minions behind him secretly rejoiced that he didn't do it.

"... After 30 years of hard work, I once became a tabula rasa, waiting, my things are not easy to take. The man gave the two men a vicious look at the two who had turned into small black dots, and then left with a group of bandits.
