The next day, the weather was cold, there were not many pedestrians on the streets in the north of the city in the early morning, Zhang Xuan wrapped in a thick mink brocade coat and went out of the north city gate, he was tall and handsome, although his face was full of immaturity, but with this dress it looked a little extravagant.

However, only he knows the bitterness in his heart, Zhang Xuan, who is dressed so decently, is in a hurry and does not stay, just to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and by the way, get some game to prepare surplus food.

Since the Heavenly Wolf City forbade mortals to enter the city, those mortals who were driven out had set up their homes outside the city, forming a new outer city, and when Zhang Xuan arrived, many people were already ready to go to the mountains.

The mortals here are very hard-working, they yearn for life in the city, they often have access to monks, and they also know some ways to a lesser extent, many ordinary people also know a lot about cultivation, and some families have a simple inheritance.

Even if they don't have a spiritual root, they can also become a martial artist through the secret method of quenching their bodies, although they can't soar, but at least they can live a long life without invading all diseases.

After walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, Zhang Xuan got into a dense forest, and after releasing two ethereal spirit alerts, the other four ethereal spirits began to absorb vitality, and it didn't take long for four crystal clear caterpillars to appear.

"Get to work!"

Zhang Xuan's order, the caterpillar flew down to the root of the tree, spewing out sharp vitality, many big trees fell in response, the ethereal spirit raged in the forest, gnawed down into pieces of big trees and was quickly decomposed into wood, Zhang Xuan followed behind, put all the wood into the ring, and it didn't take long for his seven or eight rings to be full.

"It's no wonder that everyone wants to be a monk, these special abilities can be used to farm even if they are not used to fight. ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan ran out of the mountains excitedly, he gained a lot from this trip, when passing through the outer city, he found that it was very lively, and couldn't help but get into one of the streets.

The bluestone paved streets are very clean, there are many shops and stalls on both sides of the street, and there are a dazzling array of goods on the street, from rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea to fruits and vegetables, from delicate tea sets to rough pots and pans, all kinds of animal skins and herbs, Zhang Xuan even saw the whole beast, lions and tigers and other beasts are countless.

The world of flowers is charming, Zhang Xuan is dumbfounded, most of the mountain goods here come from the periphery of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range, and many of them are species he has not seen, but the purpose of his coming here is not shopping, but Taobao.

After strolling for a long time, Zhang Xuan suddenly saw a deserted alley, where there were many stall vendors, who were selling hard, and immediately walked in excitedly.

"Exercises, martial arts, Danshu, array diagrams, talismans... Sold cheaply, as long as a spirit stone for everything, don't miss it when you pass by, buy and sell in time. ”

As soon as he walked into the alley, Zhang Xuan was immediately attracted by the sound of selling, he stopped in front of a stall, and found that the stall was stacked with jade slips, ancient books, animal skins, yellowed cloth, huge bones...

The stall owner is a spirited old man, and when he saw the business coming to his door, he said enthusiastically: "What does the guest officer like?"

Zhang Xuan wondered, "Why are these things so cheap?"

The old man smiled, and immediately replied: "The competition is fierce, small profits are just quick turnover, the books sold by the stalls in this alley are basically at this price, and the scriptures sold are basically the same." We are waiting to set up a stall here, and the group facing is a cultivator like you, a spirit stone, a very fair price, and Tong Su is not bullied. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and was about to pick up a scripture book and open it to take a look, but the old man took out a table of contents, handed it to him, and said, "The guest officer can't flip through the original volume of the scriptures, he can only choose from the catalog." ”

"Why?"

"Childe, scriptures are soft commodities, they will lose their value when you read them, and the more you read, the less valuable the scriptures will be. ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but suddenly say, "Are you worried that I won't buy it?"

The old man smiled apologetically and said embarrassedly: "You can also understand it this way, this is the rule of the industry, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Xuan took the catalogue and flipped through it carefully, he was very surprised, he had all these scriptures recorded in it, but he also had scriptures that were not in it, and there were quite a few.

Not long after, he closed the catalog, shook his head in disappointment, and sighed: "The grade is too low, the variety is too small, and there are even incomplete scriptures, not the kind I want." ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "The good scriptures are all in the city, but they will not be lost here, the old man sees that the son is extraordinary, and he must also be a person in the city, if necessary, you can go to the store to see." ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said: "What I need is not good scriptures, but strange books, I have a unique taste, I like that kind of strange things, if you have such books, you might as well take them out and take a look, maybe I can use high-grade scriptures to exchange with you." ”

The old man frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "How tall is your scripture?"

"At least three grades or more, and it's not the kind of bad street. ”

"Is Childe serious?"

The old man was extremely excited, looking at Zhang Xuan deadly, eagerly looking forward to it.

"As long as your book is strange enough, the possibilities here are endless. ”

Zhang Xuan raised his head and said unfathomably: "It's not a secret, I'm just a mortal, because I purchased the courtyard in the north of the city, I accidentally touched the formation in the courtyard, and obtained the identity of the spokesperson of the Heaven and Earth Bank, so I became their errand." ”

The old man scratched his head and wondered, "Heaven and Earth Bank, isn't that a candle shop?"

Zhang Xuan was surprised: "Huh, you actually know that small shop?"

The stall owner suddenly said with some sadness: "I can't hide it, the old man lived on that street before he was kicked out of the city, and he has a good impression of that shop." ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly flickered again: "Don't sigh, as long as you can find the strange book that the Heaven and Earth Bank needs, you can obtain the three-grade exercises, and then you will be developed." ”

The stall owner's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with interest: "I don't know how the 'strange' in the childe's mouth is defined?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's strange if you can't understand it, as long as you can't understand it, no matter what scriptures you have, you may be valued by the Bank of Heaven and Earth." ”

The stall owner smiled slyly, took out a stack of yellowed ancient books, placed them on the stall, and asked Zhang Xuan: "Childe, look at these books, I don't know if they are strange books in your mouth?"

Zhang Xuan picked up a book and looked at it, and found that there were a lot of strange words in the book, but it was not what he needed, he muttered: "The content of the book is obscure and stiff, and the words don't reach the meaning of reading, although it has a bit of ancient taste, but it is not strange enough, but this book is also a little collectible, if you want to sell it, this son can give you a book of one-product exercises, how about it?"

"Childe, can you guarantee that it is an exercise that the old man has never seen?"

Zhang Xuandu nodded his head and promised: "Guarantee is the exercise you are interested in, although this exercise is only a product, but it is a soul refining exercise, it is not common in the entire Heavenly Wolf City, as long as you are willing to exchange, tonight this son will send the exercise, then you will put these books in the courtyard, naturally someone will take them." ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't wait to nod his head, and said without thinking: "The old man is willing, the old man is very willing." ”

"Zhong Wenjing, you are really dizzy, do you believe such a lie?"

While the two were talking, a disdainful voice came from the stall next to them.

Zhang Xuan followed the sound and looked over and saw a middle-aged man pouring a pile of black soil on the stall.

"Hey, there's still someone selling this. ”

He couldn't help but walk over and asked curiously, "Isn't this mud?

...
