Chapter 4: Red Beads

After leaving the main hall, Chen Shen did not go to the training ground again, but left the Chen Mansion directly and walked around the street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the magnificent city of Dinghai, there is a bustling and busy scene everywhere, every day.

Chen Shen walked slowly on this prosperous street, looking around, feeling that everything was so beautiful, although all this was already familiar to him, but there was always a sense of intimacy.

He had long been accustomed to such Dinghai City, and he was used to everything here. The shouts of the hawkers of sugar gourds, the boasting of vegetable farmers selling vegetables, and the sound of bargaining in the dazzling shops...... Weave into a strange landscape.

The purpose of Chen Shen's trip is very clear, that is, to see if he can be lucky enough to come across excellent medicinal materials for sale, so that his body can be conditioned, so that his body can be better, and he can cultivate one or two.

Although he has a dull life, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, but that young man doesn't have a heroic dream in his heart, especially in a world where martial arts are respected, and who doesn't want to have a proud ability, can dominate the world, laugh at the world, enjoy the envy and respect of others, and can fight the sword world, be in charge of the world, and be fearless.

Therefore, he has always been envious of the other children of the Chen family who can cultivate, although he accepts the fact that he can't cultivate, and also feels that the ordinary life is quite good, but his yearning for martial arts has not been completely extinguished.

In the past, although he had such thoughts, he was always relatively weak, perhaps just in the main hall of the Chen family, the conversation between his father and his second grandfather touched the depths of his heart, so he had to think about this. He also believes that no matter who becomes the head of the Chen family in the future, with his assistance, the Chen family will definitely develop better and become a more behemoth. But the lack of its own force is the most fatal shortcoming. When other families feel that he seriously threatens their interests, will they assassinate him like a ship, it is the Chen family who is strong, not him, and he will not be able to go out in the future, once he has an accident, the Chen family may lose the strategist who judges the situation, and then the contact with other forces is likely to be controlled everywhere, after all, no matter how fierce the tiger is, if it has no eyes, the deterrence of other fierce beasts will be reduced a lot, and it will be a big disaster for the Chen family, After all, none of the other families is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Winter yellow grass, flaming roots, flowerless vines...... The top medicinal materials required for the cultivation of martial artists, don't miss them when you pass by, if you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime! ”

When Chen Shen was still pondering, there was a shouting in his ears, and when he looked up, he had unconsciously come to the boundary specially set up for the sale of medicinal herbs in Dinghai City - Fuxiang Street.

Now Dinghai City is becoming more and more prosperous year by year, and it is becoming more and more lively year by year. In addition to the locals doing medicinal herbs and other businesses in the city, there are also a large number of martial artists or ordinary people from other cities in the Heavenly Wind Country who come here to pan for gold, looking for opportunities to improve their cultivation or get rich. But the city is only so big, and the people who come and go in other cities rarely live in this city for a long time, and the shops have long been bought by the major families and merchants in the city, in order to better facilitate people's transactions, the city lord of Dinghai City deliberately divided several streets in the city for commercial transactions.

In addition to Fuxiang Street, which specializes in stalls selling medicinal materials, there are also refining streets that sell weapons, and beast streets that sell monster materials, etc., the largest of which are Beast Street and Fuxiang Street, and most of the warriors who come here are also coming for the demon beasts and medicinal materials in the beast forest.

The demon beast can be said to be a treasure all over the body, not only the body can be used to refine medicine and refining weapons, but the blood is also very useful, and the more valuable is the demon pill of the demon beast, the low-level demon pill is not only a wealth, but also can make the medicine or weapon refined have the opportunity to improve the quality; Needless to say, medicinal materials can not only treat the injuries suffered by martial artists, but also improve the cultivation of martial artists, if you hit the great luck and pick a few high-grade herbs, or obtain a few high-level demon beast inner pills, it is really a huge turning point of fate, maybe you can enter a different world from now on - the world of cultivators.

Because such demon pills and medicinal materials are also of great use to low-level cultivators, they are not worldly money and other ordinary things, and they cannot enter their eyes. It's just that there are very few people who can have such an opportunity, and high-grade medicinal herbs either grow in the depths of the beast forest, or they are guarded by powerful demon beasts, how can it be so easy to obtain; And the high-level demon beast is the lowest cultivation with the innate realm, even if the good luck kills the high-level demon beast and obtains the high-level demon pill, how to find the cultivator is still a problem, even if he meets the cultivator, how do you know that the cultivator is willing to trade with him on an equal footing, and even give it a chance to cultivate, the cultivator is the same as the martial artist, but not all are kind.

Every martial artist hopes to one day step into the world of cultivators.

Cultivators, flying with a sword, can take people's heads thousands of miles away, and their strength is definitely not comparable to that of martial artists. The current martial artists, the highest cultivation is the peak realm of the martial artist, and in the entire Yulin Continent, there are only eight martial artists in the martial arts realm, they have been in retreat for a long time, intending to break through to a higher martial arts realm, but compared with the cultivators, the martial arts realm can only be comparable to the Jindan realm of the cultivators, but if the two kill each other, most of the people in the martial arts realm will be defeated, not to mention that above the Jindan period, there are also strong people in the higher realm, and the cultivators in the Jindan period are just a thought for those who are strong, and it is just a thought to determine their life and death.

The cultivators of the Jindan period can already fly with a sword in the sky, and the means are endless, and they are not comparable to the current martial artists, and the life span of the cultivator can be much longer than that of the martial artist, an acquired martial artist can live about eighty years old, which is a few years longer than that of ordinary people, the life span of the martial artist of the innate realm can be extended to one hundred and fifty years old, and the life span of the martial artist realm is only two hundred and fifty years old at most, and although the martial artist of the martial artist realm has a longer lifespan, he can only live to four hundred years old, but the cultivator of the Jindan period, The lifespan is at least 800 years, and some powerful people can live up to 1,000 years.

No one in the world wants to live forever, and no one thinks they have lived too long. What's more, in the end, cultivators have the opportunity to soar to become immortals, never grow old and immortal, jump out of the six realms of reincarnation, and be free.

In fact, in the distant era, there were also people who cultivated more powerful among the martial artists, such as martial saints, martial emperors, and even martial gods, and martial artists who cultivated to the extreme, and they could shatter the void, preach the Tao with their strength, and enter the immortal realm, just like the cultivators, they could jump out of reincarnation and become immortal and immortal. But later, I didn't know what happened, and the cultivation of martial arts became more and more difficult, and now, the martial artist realm was already at its peak, and the cultivators were not affected, but became more powerful. Martial arts have declined.

Chen Shen followed the sound, but he didn't have any surprised looks, he knew that these martial artists always exaggerated the items they sold to attract people's attention, and there were not many really good things.

Chen Shen walked slowly all the way, stopping in front of each stall for a while to see if there were any medicinal materials needed. When the warriors selling medicinal herbs saw him staying, they all tried their best to introduce him, but Chen Shen was unmoved.

Time passed little by little, Chen Shen was almost finished walking Fuxiang Street, he looked up and stopped, and let out a sigh from his mouth, it seems that there is no hope today. Also, high-grade medicinal herbs are so easy to find, for so many years, the elders of the Chen family have not searched for and purchased high-grade medicinal herbs for him, but they have all obtained very small, and finally got a few plants, but after taking it, there is no effect at all, and his body is still the same as before.

Chen Shen finished reading all the classics in the Chen family's collection, and found that there were three herbs with extremely high medicinal effects in a fragment of a description of medicinal materials, which could cure his weak body, but he only knew that these three herbs were called Yunlong Grass, Colorful Lotus and Seven Star Vine, as for the appearance and growth place of these three herbs, there was no information, and no one knew if he asked others.

In addition to these three herbs, the elixir of the cultivator is sure to cure the dark diseases in his body, but unfortunately, the world of the cultivator is too far away, and the entire Tianfeng Country has not heard of a cultivator, maybe there is one outside the Tianfeng country, but it is impossible for others to give him the elixir, even if he wants to exchange treasures, he can't find anyone.

Just as Chen Shen turned around and was about to leave, a red bead from a stall in front of him fell into his eyes, although this bead looked ordinary and did not shine any brilliance, but for some reason, Chen Shen just felt that it was a little special, and it didn't seem to be ordinary.

Walking to the front of the stall, Chen Shen looked at the things on the stall, in addition to the medicinal herbs and red beads, there were also some materials for low-level demon beasts. Although there are special streets for selling medicinal materials and demon beast materials separately, most of the items in the hands of the warriors are relatively varied, and the varieties are also varied, so when they get there, they are all sold in stalls.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a yellow coat and a full beard, who is selling in a rough voice. Seeing Chen Shen standing in front of the stall, the middle-aged man spoke: "Little brother, what do you like, the things I have here are all superb, good quality and low price, what do you want, you will definitely not suffer a loss when you buy it." ”

Chen Shen smiled and nodded, but did not answer. He crouched down, and found that there were no other useful items in the stall, so he secretly observed the red beads, and after about a quarter of an hour, he still found nothing, perhaps he was really mistaken, and yes, the treasure was so easy to obtain.

However, Chen Shen still decided to buy this bead, although he couldn't see the reason, but he always had a feeling in his heart that this red bead was not ordinary. So he picked up the red beads and said, "Boss, what is this, it looks too ordinary." Looking up at the red beads in Chen Shen's hand, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a look of disappointment, he thought that this rich young man could look at other valuable items, but he took the beads that he didn't know the purpose of.

"I don't know what this red bead is, but it must be a rare treasure, which I found with a few friends in a ruin, and we were so thrilled that we almost didn't come back. The little brother's vision is really good, so he chose it at once. Although the thing is ordinary and worthless, the boss is boasting, but he didn't say nonsense, this red bead was indeed found at a ruin, but it was picked up at the entrance of the ruins, there was no danger, afterwards, he also kept observing this bead, but he didn't find any abnormality, so it was an ordinary red bead and threw it on the stall to sell.

Chen Shen smiled lightly: "Boss, don't fool me, make a price." I just like this bead, although it looks ordinary, but it's okay to take it home and make a gadget to fiddle with, you say that I can't afford it. ”

The boss laughed a few times, and at the same time looked at Chen Shen carefully, and found that there was no strong desire in his eyes, knowing that what he said might be true, so he said: "Seeing that the little brother is good-looking, he should make a friend, and this bead will be taken for 5 gold coins, and it will be good to take care of my business in the future." ”

Although he knew that the price offered by the boss was still too high, Chen Shen did not lack this money, so he still bought it as soon as possible and felt at ease when he went back to study it, he always felt that this bead would not be ordinary. "Okay, that's five gold coins." Chen Shen handed the gold coin to the boss, took the beads and put them in his arms and walked out.

After continuing to wander outside, he didn't find any eye-catching items, Chen Shen planned to go back to the house, and the red beads in his arms were still waiting for him to study.
