Chapter 3: Black Rock City

"Congratulations to the player for earning 50 exchange points"

As soon as he returned home, Ye Chen hurriedly exchanged the low-level Quenching Pill for an exchange point.

"There are enough exchange points, do you want to exchange experience?"

"Yes" Listening to the sound of the system, Ye Chen was a little nervous.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player on the successful upgrade"

As the sound of the system fell, Ye Chen felt a warm air flow surging up and down his body, although it was very short, but it was indeed a real feeling!

"Is this the double of quenching?" Ye Chen clenched his fists, feeling the power of this whole body improvement, and a melancholy of loss and recovery appeared in his heart.

Host: Ye Chen

Cultivation is: quenching the body double

Experience: 0/200

Exchange Point: 10

Martial Arts: None

Weapons: None

Pets: None

The breakthrough was successful, and Ye Chen hurriedly checked his attributes.

"200?, why don't you grab it?" Seeing that it would take 200 experience to break through, Ye Chen felt a headache.

"There are still so many exchange points left, it seems that I can only go to the city to take a look" Although I went to get the Quenching Pill, it didn't delay much, seeing that it was still early, Ye Chen decided to go to Black Rock City to try his luck.

Black Rock City is a remote city in the northwest of Dayan County.

Although it is located in a remote area, it is backed by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and it is extremely popular, and people come and go on the street, trading Demon Beast materials, medicinal materials, and buying and selling goods.

Ye Chen left the Ye family, turned left and came to a medium-sized market, there are many such markets in Black Rock City, which are controlled by the three major families, and the market that Ye Chen went to is under the control of the Ye family.

It is said that it is control, in fact, it is to maintain order and protect security, and the merchants or mercenaries who set up stalls in the market as a reward have to pay a part of the commission to the family, which has always been the law of Black Rock City, but there are few people who make trouble, and the merchants are also willing to trade in the market!

Entering from the main entrance of the market, I saw several Ye family guards patrolling here, looking at Ye Chen who came in, I couldn't help but be stunned, I thought that I also knew Ye Chen!

After nodding slightly, Ye Chen walked straight to the inside of the market, looking at the endless flow of people, Ye Chen was a little surprised, no wonder the family is particularly interested in the market, and the income brought by this flow of people for a day is probably not expensive.

After losing his mind for a short time, Ye Chen began to wander around the market, Ye Chen did not forget the purpose of coming today.

Going around and around, Ye Chen walked around the periphery of the market for most of the time, and Ye Chen was a little surprised by some of the preparations in his heart, although it was the periphery, but the things sold were also varied, and there was everything.

As for the depths of the market, what is sold is some precious things, and those who can go to the depths to buy them can be regarded as having some strength in Black Rock City.

Although Ye Chen also wanted to go deeper and have a long insight, he had to give up when he thought of being shy in his pocket, although he had some regrets, but it was still important to get down to business......

Ye Chen came to a stall with relatively complete items and carefully observed to see if there was anything he needed.

"Stall owner, is this a demon pill?" Ye Chen picked up an irregular fiery red crystal, a little surprised in his heart. Something as precious as the Demon Pill would not appear in such a small stall.

The stall owner is a man in the prime of his thirties, a little burly, with a simple face, but a person like this who has been in the market for a long time will not have any bones left if he only looks at his appearance.

"Little brother has good eyesight, this is the demon pill of the first-order top-level demon beast Yan Python, this is a good thing, my brothers and I almost got it with our lives" Perhaps seeing Ye Chen's doubts, the stall owner patiently introduced Ye Chen......

Demon Pill, as the name suggests, is a kind of energy crystallization in the body of the demon beast, which is full of energy, but this energy cannot be directly absorbed by people, otherwise there will be a danger of exploding.

Although the demon pill cannot be directly used for absorption and cultivation, the demon pill is an essential material for alchemy and refining tools.

After a specific method, the alchemist removed the violent energy in the demon pill and synthesized some herbs and spiritual materials to refine the elixir that everyone coveted.

In addition, it is used for the tempering of weapons, adding demon pills when forging weapons, and successfully refining weapons will more or less be accompanied by certain abilities in front of the demon beast, such as poison, attribute attacks, etc., and top weapons can even conjure up demon beasts and spirits for battle.

The role of the demon pill is far more than that, such as being used for formation laying, energy filling of large weapons, and so on.

With so many functions, the demon pill has always been in short supply, and as soon as the high-level demon pill appears, it is often purchased by the big forces at a high price, and only a small number of low-level demon pills will be traded and circulated on the market.

Due to the high level of the demon pill, there is naturally a mercenary group that hunts demon beasts and seeks to make a living from the demon pill, but it is not an easy task to hunt the demon pill.

The demon beasts are already fierce and abnormal, coupled with their strong defenses and the fact that each demon beast has special attack methods, they are much stronger than cultivators in the same realm.

The most important thing is that not every time you kill a demon beast, you will get a demon pill, and when the demon beast is dying, it will forcibly shatter the demon pill and absorb the demon pill energy to use against the enemy. A demon beast like this that shatters the demon pill can't survive, so after encountering the demon beast and shattering the demon pill, the mercenaries will choose to retreat, and the value of the demon beast without the demon pill will be greatly reduced, and they will have to face a crazy demon beast, if they don't handle it properly, the price will outweigh the loss.

Sometimes, a mercenary group pays the price of most of the casualties of the members and kills a demon beast with difficulty, only to find that the demon pill has long been shattered and used to fight for the mercenaries, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and it is not uncommon......

Only experienced and powerful mercenary groups can kill the demon beast with one knife and take out the intact demon pill before the demon beast shatters it.

This is also an important reason for the high price of demon pills.

......

Ye Chen still has some understanding of the market price of the demon pill, as far as his own financial resources are concerned, he can't afford to buy this demon pill, although he is a little reluctant, he still hands the demon pill in his hand to the stall owner.

"Dressed like a dog, I didn't expect it to be a poor ghost" The stall owner saw Ye Chen hand the demon pill back, and he was a little indignant in his heart.

Although the stall owner has not changed much on the surface, he is not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.

Feeling the change in the stall owner, Ye Chen didn't need to say much, and continued to check the items on the stall.

"What is this?" Ye Chen picked up a porcelain bottle, which contained half a bottle of pale cyan liquid, which smelled fragrant.

"Stop the bleeding, one hundred and twenty gold coins for a bottle" The stall owner saw that Ye Chen was picking and choosing, and he didn't mean to buy it, but said lightly.

"So expensive?" Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, gold coins are the circulating currency of the mainland, and one gold coin is enough for ordinary people to live for a month. Ye Chen only has more than a hundred pieces left over the years.

It is precisely because there are too many mercenaries in Black Rock City who make a living by hunting demon beasts, so the price of healing drugs such as hemostatic powder has always been high!

Although it is expensive, this kind of healing liquid is a sought-after commodity, who can guarantee that they will not be injured when they enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range?

Ye Chen hurriedly held the healing liquid and entered the system page to check it.

"Stop the bleeding, is the value of 20 exchange points exchanged?" The reason why Ye Chen chose just now was to use the system to check.

Ye Chen opened the exchange pavilion again to find the hemostatic powder, and found that it took 25 exchange points to buy the hemostatic powder.

"Thirty gold coins of Quenching Pill, you can exchange it for 10 exchange points, if I use the exchange point to exchange it for Hemostatic Powder, and then exchange it for Quenching Pill, then there will be at least 15 points of exchange point difference?" Thinking of this, Ye Chen was a little excited.

"Stall owner, you don't buy this to stop bleeding," Ye Chen said excitedly to the middle-aged stall owner.

"Collect! 100 gold coins" The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and although he was a little puzzled, he still replied.

"Why is it only a hundred, isn't it a hundred and twenty gold coins? You're too dark, aren't you?" Ye Chen said subconsciously when he heard this.

"Little brother, look at what you said, this stall has to give a commission, and there are always some items that are lost due to improper storage, and you can barely make ends meet after a hard day's work, where can you make a lot of money!" explained to Ye Chen, the stall owner with an innocent face.

"This ......" Although Ye Chen didn't believe it, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Stallholder, look at this, I exchange a bottle of hemostatic powder for quenching pills, what do you think?" Ye Chen thought about it, he didn't want to earn gold coins, the exchange point was the key!

"This stupid boy, the Quenching Pill is only a dozen gold coins, a bottle of hemostatic powder, I can make two copies by blending and blending, and I will make a lot of money by going back and forth?" Although the stall owner has long been happy in his heart, he is still quiet on the surface.

"This ...... How about looking at your sincerity and five quenching pills?" The stall owner pretended to hesitate and said slowly in Ye Chen's expectant eyes.

"Whew...... Deal!" Listening to the stall owner's words, Ye Chen put down his heart and looked happy, he thought it would be good to be able to exchange for four, but he didn't expect to change for five.

If Ye Chen knew what the stall owner was thinking, he didn't know what kind of expression he would show.

This can't blame Ye Chen for being deceived, Ye Chen didn't know much about this aspect over the years, at the beginning, the family provided it, and later these resources were useless to Ye Chen, so he didn't know too much.

"I don't know, little brother, how many bottles do you sell?" the stall owner rubbed his hands and looked enthusiastic.

"I don't know the specifics, I may come to trouble you often in the future" Ye Chen didn't care too much, thinking that he would come to exchange, so he answered truthfully.

"No trouble, no trouble" The stall owner immediately frowned, and the smile on his face was even thicker.

"However, I didn't bring the hemostatic powder with me, I will come to you early tomorrow morning with something, so let's buy a few quenching pills today!" After speaking, Ye Chen took out one hundred and twenty gold coins and handed them to the stall owner, meaning to buy four quenching pills first.

Feeling that there were only two or three gold coins left in his pocket, Ye Chen somewhat understood why so many people were willing to work for the family clan, without the support of money, it would be difficult to cultivate an inch.

"In this case, I won't take the money, and I should give a deposit. The stall owner raised his eyelids, smiled and pushed Ye Chen's hand back, silently reciting in his heart, "I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf"

"Ah, what's the matter, you better take the money" Ye Chen was also taken aback by the stall owner's enthusiasm.

"It's just a few quenching pills, and besides, the elder brother believes that the little brother is by no means the kind of person who is untrustworthy" The stall owner frowned slightly, looking like Ye Chen was going to stop the transaction if he gave money again.

"Then thank you stall owner," Ye Chen didn't say anything when he saw this.

"That's right," the stall owner's smile resurfaced on his face.

Put away the gold coins, Ye Chen didn't stay long, and went back to Ye's house directly, and met some clansmen on the way, watching Ye Chen come back from outside, they all showed doubts. Ye Chen ignored these clansmen, went back to his room directly, and started some basic physical training.

Although there is an exchange system now, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to improve his cultivation, but Ye Chen doesn't plan to give up his training, he wants to have a strong strength, and he doesn't just rely on cultivation!
