Located in the central region of the Great Imperial Kingdom, the Hunting City is a low-level city in the Amad district of the eighteen districts of the Great Imperial Kingdom.

There is a forest in the east, but it brings a lot of resources to this hunting city. The Hunting City is also one of the few hunting cities in the Amad District, relying on the resources in the Firmament Forest to feed this huge city.

However, there is love and hate for the people here in the Firmament Forest, and love is because the Firmament Forest brings them wealth and resources.

Hate because the strange beasts in it will have several periods of commotion every day, and they gather together to attack the city, which also makes the people in it miserable.

In the downtown area, Xiang Mingchen looked at things uncertainly, but he really didn't find that he could use them.

"The guest officer came to take a look, and the best herbs for recovering from injuries have been carefully made by me, which is convenient and easy to use. A pharmacy vendor shouted.

It really attracted Xiang Mingchen's attention, for the medicine to recover from the injury, Xiang Mingchen really felt how important it was to hunt beasts this time, and he also needed to prepare some for the experience outside, otherwise it would not be possible to recover on his own alone.

"Boss, is this medicine effective!" Xiang Mingchen walked over, looked at the tea-like things piled up on the table of the shop, and asked with some disbelief.

"Promise, guest officer, I'll let you see how good my medicine is. After the herb shop owner finished speaking, he picked up the knife next to him and slashed at his arm, and the arm was directly scraped with a blood mark, and the blood only came.

"The owner ....... Xiang Mingchen couldn't help but be shocked by the herb shop owner's behavior, but before Xiang Mingchen could finish speaking, the herb shop owner directly grabbed a handful of grass from the table and smeared it on the wound.

The wound stopped bleeding a few seconds after the herb was applied, and even the area that had been cut was healed somewhat.

"Guest officer, you see, although my herb can't cure any internal injuries, the effect of hemostasis and healing is particularly good, and it is necessary to go out. The herb shop owner said with a smile, and after speaking, he showed Xiang Mingchen his injured hand.

"Okay, well, I saw the boss, how much is your herb. Xiang Mingchen couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't expect the owner of the herb shop to work so hard to promote his herbs.

"Ten gold coins a catty, and you want a few catties for the guest officer. The boss also saw that the business was in hand, and his face was also full of smiles, and he said to Xiang Mingchen very politely.

"Ten gold coins!" Xiang Mingchen instantly felt that he had been pitted, but after looking at the smile on the face of the herb shop owner, and the injury on his hand that had not yet fully healed, he also sighed and said, "Then it's good to come with me for two catties." ”

Although the price is a little expensive, after all, others work so hard, Xiang Mingchen is embarrassed not to buy it.

"Good officer. The owner of the herb shop said with a smile, and hurriedly pretended with Xiang Mingchen, and said how many herbs he had while loading the herbs.

Xiang Mingchen didn't listen either, after seeing that the owner of the herb shop had finished loading it, he paid the money to others, so he walked away, he has been a person since he was a child, and he doesn't have the habit of listening to other people's ramblings.

Although Xiang Mingchen was strolling around again, he was suddenly attracted by an old man sitting on the ground. There are all shops around here with small meditation tables, but this old man is the only one sitting on the ground, which looks very eye-catching.

The old man was dressed in rags, the old man had a short, stiff mustache, a pair of brown eyes sunken in the sockets, a long unkempt gray hair, a very lean figure, thin skin and bones, and looked very pitiful. And in front of him lay a picture scroll.

"Old man, what did you buy? ”

Someone in the crowd also noticed the old man, and when they saw the old man's appearance, they were also a little sympathetic.

"A painting handed down by my ancestors, I have no money to eat, and I want to buy this in exchange for a little food. The old man said weakly, his arm as thin as a bamboo pole was raised slightly, and then he slowly opened the scroll in front of him.

On the scroll are four sacred beasts, namely the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird and the Xuanwu.

The green dragon is on the east side of the scroll, showing blue-green.

The white tiger is on the west side of the scroll, showing white gold.

The Suzaku is on the south side of the scroll, showing fiery red.

Xuanwu is in the north of the scroll, showing black soil.

The four mythical beasts are being drawn vividly, if they don't appear on the paper, they all think that this is true, and people look at it, and the scene comes to mind.

"Old man, how much money I bought, you should go back quickly. A middle-aged man in the crowd said.

The old man didn't speak, but held out a finger that looked like a tree trunk.

"A hundred, yes, yes, come to you. The man threw the old man a hundred gold coins.

The old man looked at the gold coin, then picked it up, threw it back to the middle-aged man, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "A thousand gold coins." ”

The middle-aged man took the gold coin, and when he heard the old man's words, his face also changed, and he said: "One thousand gold coins, old man, are you old and confused, the previous hundred gold coins are already sympathetic to you, and it is really a lion's mouth." ”

"That's right, old man, a hundred gold coins is already a lot, and you still want a thousand gold coins for a painting. ”

"Don't pay attention to him, I guess I'm really old and confused, a thousand gold coins can make me chic for a year. ”

"Look at him pitiful, I didn't expect his appetite to be so big, so greedy, just now I had a little sympathy for him, and now it really is. ”

"Old man, a hundred gold coins is enough for you to spend until you die, you want a thousand gold coins, what do you want to do, you are so old and still want to spend time drinking." ”

"Old man, if it were me, a hundred gold coins would be exchanged, you see what you are thin, sell it, go and have a good meal." ”

"That's right, the old man sold it, and a hundred gold coins is not a lot. ”

..................

The people around me are also talking about it, and the same feeling at the beginning is not at all. After all, a painting of 1,000 gold coins, that can accept it, who would spend 1,000 gold coins to buy an ornament.

The old man didn't say much, but slowly rolled up the picture in front of him, and then closed his eyes again.

And Xiang Mingchen, who was in the crowd, was also stunned when he looked at the scroll, and it wasn't until the old man put the scroll away that he came back to his senses.

"What's going on, why is the breath in me attracted to this painting. Xiang Mingchen thought secretly. The moment the breath in his body opened the scroll, he was attracted by an inexplicable force on the scroll, and he couldn't take it back for a long time.

"It's certainly not an ordinary thing. Xiang Mingchen thought to himself. Although I don't know what the scroll is, I can judge that it is definitely not an ordinary thing just by being attracted by my own breath.

"Grandpa, I want this painting. Xiang Mingchen walked out, took out a thousand gold coins from the Tibetan ring and handed them to the old man.

The man was also bold, took Xiang Mingchen's gold coin, and gave the picture scroll to Xiang Mingchen.

"Little brother, are you stupid, a thousand gold coins to buy such a thing. ”

"Other people have money and love to spend it on these frivolous things. ”

"Hey, if you buy this thing for a thousand gold coins, you might as well buy the exercises, or go to a girl to have a good time. ”

"Other people have money, and you see that they are all Tibetan precepts, and we can't compare. ”

"That's right, a thousand gold coins is just a drop in the bucket for others. ”

Xiang Mingchen spent 1,000 gold coins to buy this picture scroll, which also made the people present talk a lot, thinking that Xiang Mingchen was the loser of that big family.

Xiang Mingchen didn't pay much attention to the discussion of the people present, took the scroll and put it into the Tibetan ring, and then strode away.

After Xiang Mingchen left, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed and continued their own purchases.

And the old man was still sitting there, staring at Xiang Mingchen's eyes as he left, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but in a flash, the light disappeared, and the old man closed his eyes again.

Xiang Mingchen found Huang Wei and them, and they also finished purchasing. Especially Han Pang, who bought and bought for a while, and when he met him, he didn't know how much he was holding to eat.

After everyone finished buying things, they returned to the headquarters, and Huang Wei and his party also began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave tomorrow.

Xiang Mingchen returned to his room alone, carefully planning what to do in the future, the headquarters was also filled with the smell of leaving, overnight, everyone did not speak, and they all looked at the house where they had lived for a long time, and wanted to keep the scenery here in their hearts.
