Chapter 8: Showing the Horse's Feet

"We're still waiting inside, it's better for you to communicate with people for such a difficult thing!" Bai Lin said.

"Okay, I'll go in by myself, and I'll take Xiaojin in later." Qin Ruo thought for a moment and said.

"Xiao Jin must not be exposed, and there is no cultivator who is not blushing." Bai Lin nodded.

After eating something, Qin Ruo collected Bai Lin, Xiangzi, and Xiao Jin into the Futu Pagoda, and then headed towards the big city, he was very interested in this city with hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

A day later, Qin Ruo saw the majestic vertical and horizontal city, and the city walls were seven or eight feet high.

The city wall seven or eight zhang high stretched in all directions, Qin Ruo nodded, knowing that this was indeed a big project, such a huge city, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a city wall on all sides.

Similarly, Qin Ruo also understood why the land and residency rights in the city were so tight, it was not a demon beast against the sky, and it was very difficult to break the city wall to enter it.

With the flow of people, Qin Ruo walked towards the city gate, where there were sentries standing guard, checking the people entering and leaving.

Qin Ruo saw that everyone who went in handed over the black round object, what should he do if he didn't have it? After thinking for a while, Qin Ruo took out a small bottle and filled it with a few Peiyuan Pills.

"Stop, you need to pay ink coins to enter the city, and take out your identity approval." A guy with a seventh-layer cultivation of an earth martial artist shouted to Qin Ruo.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out, I didn't bring ink coins, is it okay to use this?" Qin Ruo took out the Pei Yuan Pill that he had just prepared and handed over two of them.

"What's the mess? Oh, this one does. Originally, this sentry was very impatient, but when he noticed that what Qin Ruo took out was an elixir to assist in cultivation, his attitude immediately changed.

"In addition, I met a demon beast in a hurry, and I lost my identity approval, can you help me get a replacement?" Qin Ruo planned to solve the problems of entering the city and identity at one time.

Listening to Qin Ruo's words, the sentry began to look at Qin Ruo carefully, and at the critical moment, Qin Ruo took out the small bottle he had prepared and fiddled with it in his hand.

"Okay, you wait, I'll get an approval, but the name is different from yours, remember that after I go back this time, I will have to make up for the approval." The sentry took out an approval document and handed it to Qin Ruo.

The sentry was very excited, and in the morning, there was a guy who was making trouble at the gate of the city, and after being killed by his own people, he took the approval and did not hand it in.

Qin Ruo took the approval document and handed the bottle containing six Pei Yuan Dan in his hand to the sentry at the same time, and then entered the city.

The most difficult thing for Qin Ruo is to infiltrate Zongheng City, because his identity is not visible, and with the identity approval, the remaining problems are not very big, as for Pei Yuandan, it is not much different from garbage to Qin Ruo.

Entering the city, Qin Ruo looked around, he still didn't understand what was going on in this vertical and horizontal city, he had to understand it first.

After walking for a while, Qin Ruo saw some stalls, as well as shouts, all of which were selling demon beasts, animal skins, birds and beast meat, and so on!

While walking and observing, Qin Ruo understood that the currencies circulating here were ink coins and ink crystals, a wild boar could sell for five ink coins, and a pure white demon fox skin cost two hundred ink coins, that is, two ink crystals.

What do you sell yourself? Qin Ruo was a little sore, what he had was the elixir, and the other was bear meat and bear skin, he wouldn't sell the golden bear skin, who knew that the bear meat was bear meat?

People sell wild boar, all with skin, and the bear meat is sorted out by themselves, without skin and without signs.

At this time, Qin Ruo heard the sound of selling wine, went over to take a look and smelled it, and the stall owner also enthusiastically let Qin Ruo taste it, Qin Ruo was dressed in clean cloth clothes, and his status was obviously much higher than that of a merchant wearing animal skins.

Bad wine! After tasting a sip, Qin Ruo shook his head, not to mention the lack of alcohol, but also with a spicy atmosphere.

"This wine doesn't work." Qin Ruo shook his head and left.

After leaving the stall selling liquor for five or six miles, Qin Ruo thought about it for a while, and felt that if he didn't drink liquor, he could sell some liquor and exchange it for some ink crystals.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him around, Qin Ruo turned his mind and took out five bottles of Moutai from the storage ring.

"The best wine is sold, and the one with the highest price will get it." Qin Ruo opened a bottle of Moutai and shouted loudly.

As the bottle opens, the smell wafts out.

"What kind of wine is this?" The smell of wine wafted out, and many people gathered around.

"The ancestral brewing method is brewed, because I met a demon beast on the road, I was in a hurry, and I lost the ink crystal, and now these bottles are the ones with the highest price." Qin Ruo took out a bottle of Moutai and said in front of him.

"Three Ink Crystals." A man spoke.

"Do you have three ink crystals out of such a fine wine? Ten ink crystals. Another man spoke.

Qin Ruo didn't interject, just watched others bid, he didn't care about a few bottles of Moutai, it was the key to be able to sell some ink crystals in Zongheng City.

The last old man came out with forty ink crystals, and only then did the voices of the other bidders come down, and forty ink crystals are equal to four thousand ink coins.

"Then this bottle of wine belongs to this old-timer, come, everyone bid for the next bottle." After Qin Ruo handed the old man a bottle, he took out another bottle from behind him and said.

"Don't shout yet, I'll taste it first and see how it tastes." The old man took the wine bottle in Qin Ruo's hand, opened it, took a sip directly, and then closed his eyes and savored it.

"Old-timer, it's worth the money, right?" Qin Ruoke is very clear about the difference between Moutai and the drinks in the city.

"Yes, I want all five bottles, this is two hundred ink crystals, you can count them." The old man threw a bag to Qin Ruo, and the bag rattled.

After opening it and taking a look, Qin Ruo nodded at the old man.

"If you have such a wine, you can send it directly to the Refining Hall, my name is Zheng San, and the price will be forty ink crystals." With a wave of his arm, the old man took away the five bottles of wine.

Storage rings! Qin Ruo understood that the old man had a storage ring, which showed that storage rings were not rare in Zongheng City.

With two hundred ink crystals in his hand, which was a lot of money, Qin Ruo continued to walk forward.

After walking for half a mile, Qin Ruo stopped, because he saw that the main material for refining the Xuanling Pill, Chunyuan Grass, was still in large quantities, and it was divided into small piles by the stall owner.

"How do you sell this?" Qin Ruo squatted down and looked at it, and asked after confirming that it was Spring Garden Grass.

"This windward grass is a pile of ten ink coins, and the windward grass is something that must be brought when you go out to hunt demon beasts." The stall owner spoke.

Qin Ruo looked at Chun Yuancao and didn't speak.

"If the consumption is large, you eat two beads, and the recovery will be faster, if you can find an alchemist, you can refine the layer of spiritual energy pills, and if the spiritual energy consumption is large, you will recover by eating one." Seeing that Qin Ruo didn't react, the stall owner said in a hurry.

"How about twenty-one piles of two ink crystals for you?" Qin Ruo suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"Okay, I'll give you a bunch." The stall owner put the spring garden grass and horse food into a bag and handed it to Qin Ruo, who left two people with ink crystals.

"Do you still have this windwardweed?" Qin Ruo asked, for him, the more windward grass the better.

"No, it's going to be a few years later, and the windward grass in that valley is all here for me." The stall owner shook his head.

After leaving the stall, Qin Ruo put the Spring Garden Grass into the storage ring, his mood was a little indescribable, he had searched for so long in the Dark Netherworld Secret Realm and had not picked it, and he had exchanged it for a few tenths of the price of a bottle of wine here.

Qin Ruo wandered around the city, either for anything else or to pick up leaks and see if there were any rare medicinal materials.

In this way, Qin Ruo bought some materials such as bear bile, tiger bones, and so on, all of which were purchased at low prices.

Looking at the sky, Qin Ruo knew that he wanted a place to live.

At night, there are city guards patrolling the city, and those who do not have a residence certificate must go out of the city after dark, or pay enough ink coins to practice in the workshop, otherwise they will be arrested, and the workshop is equivalent to a hotel or inn.

Qin Ruo paid ten ink crystals to live.

Entering the room, after probing and no one was following, Qin Ruo turned Bai Lin and Xiangzi out of the Futu Tower.

"Is this a hotel?" Bai Lin looked at the room and asked.

"Well, it's called a workshop, it's similar to a hotel, I got in, but I haven't established myself yet." Qin Ruo took out a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Bai Lin and Xiangzi each, and said.

"Sneaking in is the hardest step, take your time." Xiangzi said to Qin Ruo.

"I have gained a lot today, I have obtained the main materials for refining the Xuanling Pill." Qin Ruo said with a smile.

"That means that we Xiangzi will have pills to assist in cultivation in the future?" Bai Lin said excitedly.

"Well, I'll continue to walk around the city tomorrow, there's nothing worth staying in, we'll flash people." After getting the Spring Garden Grass, Qin Ruo was already very satisfied in his heart.

"Now that the main purpose has been achieved, you have to be careful." Bai Lin didn't want Qin Ruo to take a risk.

"I know, this city is huge, it's okay if you don't attract the attention of those who care." Qin Ruo opened his mouth and said.

The three of them chatted in the room, and Qin Ruo told the two girls about what they had seen today.

There is a large attic in the west of the city, and there is an archway in front of the attic, and the alchemy hall is written on it.

In a courtyard inside the attic, Zheng San and an old man in clothes were drinking.

"Third child, you mean, you bought it from an inconspicuous boy?" The gorgeously dressed old man asked.

"Well, he doesn't look like a tribesman, he is wearing cloth, according to him, he met a demon beast and ran in a hurry, and Mo Jing lost it before selling this wine, does the eldest brother have any questions?" Zheng San nodded and said.

"You look at the wine bottle, although it is not a treasure bottle, but it is not easy to make, the text on it is not the same as our one in the city, he is a person from another world, or a member of an ancient tribe, this person must be found." The old man in Chinese clothes spoke.

"Big brother, it's not easy to find, if he leaves today, then we won't have anywhere to look, even if we don't go out of the city, it's not easy to find someone in the city." Zheng San said with some embarrassment.

"You look in the city, I'll talk to the patriarch later to see if I can send the black-clothed army out of the city to arrest people, this person is very important." The old man in a fancy costume left with two bottles of wine.

Qin Ruo didn't know that his sloppiness was already noticeable.
