Bai Jing couldn't bear to hit Xiao Yao, but he had to tell her, "It's good that you think about it, but I'm not going to participate in any alchemy competition." ”

"Why?" Xiao Yao hurriedly asked, what a good opportunity this is, "How do you know if you don't try, little brother, you can participate, let's go, let's sign up." Xiao Yao pulled Bai Jing and ran directly to the shopkeeper's side, it turned out that she had just taken care of it, and the place to sign up was at the counter of this inn, and she could sign up with ten taels of silver.

Seeing that ten taels of silver was registered for nothing, even Bai Jing, who had a lot of gold, was in pain.

"Ten taels of silver is gone, I don't see that you girl is still very playful." Bai Jing said helplessly, shaking his head and preparing to go back to eat.

"Little brother, you see, it says that even if you don't win the first place, as long as you are in the top ten, you can get a hundred taels of gold, so we don't count as a loss." Xiao Yao pointed to a piece of white paper glued to the counter and said, the rules of the game are written on this white paper, which are written clearly and carefully.

"We can't even get into the top 100, let alone the top 10." Bai Jing sat on the table, still shaking his head, he really didn't know how to say Xiao Yao's innocence, this little girl was probably so naïve, she didn't understand the open and secret battles between this family, she didn't know what it meant to be outside the sky, there were people outside the world, and he didn't know how many strong people there were in this world.

Sometimes a person thinks that he is strong, that is because the pattern is too small, and when the pattern becomes bigger, he will know that he is nothing more than that.

Bai Jing never overestimated himself, that was because he knew that he was still a beginner, and he was not a person with excellent talent, so he didn't have much capital to worry about.

"Little brother, since we have already signed up, let's participate, if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent, okay?" Xiao Yao was still persuading Bai Jing.

Seeing Xiao Yao's intentions, Bai Jing really couldn't bear to refuse Xiao Yao anymore, he thought about it, there was nothing to lose in refining this medicine, and he really needed to refine some Bigu Pill in case of emergency.

"Okay, but you'll have to find the herbs yourself."

"It's a deal."

After breakfast, Bai Jing took Xiao Yao out to buy two clothes, so that she would not always wear that dress, after buying clothes, Bai Jing followed Xiao Yao on the street, she said that she wanted to buy medicinal herbs, but Bai Jing was not at ease to let her be alone outside, so she could only follow closely.

"This medicinal herb must not be an ordinary medicinal herb, and the ones I bought before must not be good. How about we go find some roots? Xiao Yao looked at the green mountain not far away, thinking that it should be much better to go to the mountain to find something than to buy it here.

"This green mountain has long been divided by the five major factions, not only the green mountain, but also the five twilight mountains and cold mountains next to it have been divided by the five major factions, there are their disciples guarding there, we must hand over a tael of silver when we go there." Bai Jing had to tell Xiao Yao a more realistic question, he saw this when he looked at the history of Ziwu City, and he didn't think it was strange, this is also a reasonable thing, those who can get it, but it is just a pity for other people who did not enter the faction, and they still need to pay the mountain fee to go up the mountain.

"A tael of silver? That's too much money, isn't it? Xiao Yao was very surprised when she heard this, why did she even need to pay money to go up the mountain, she had never heard of this kind of thing before.

"Every city has its own rules, and this Ziwu City is the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles, and it should have some of its own rules."

Xiao Yao turned around the medicinal materials on Wangtian Street, and found that the medicinal materials here are also ridiculously expensive, for example, the ones in Yicheng are twice as expensive, and those things that were bought with five hundred yuan before need one or two halves of silver here.

"It's too much, these people really value money as their life. Let's get out of here. "Xiao Yao stayed here and only felt that this Zi Wucheng was very smoky, why did everyone care so much about money, everything was money, money, money, and no humanity at all.

"We're going to get out of here sooner or later, that's for sure, just not right now." Bai Jing knew that he would leave here because he still had to look for Hua Chen, but he didn't want to leave just yet, because he hadn't met other séances yet, and he wanted to visit and know more from the other séances.

"Okay, then listen to the little brother." Xiao Yao leaned on the table and said helplessly.

In the evening, the two of them had dinner, Bai Jing went to meditate and practice, Xiao Yao had nothing to do, and sat alone in front of the window and watched the people coming and going.

She looked at it, and saw a group of people walking into the inn, this group of people looked extraordinary, not like ordinary people, and these people also held some herbs in their hands, about one person held more than a hundred catties in his hands, which looked like they were freshly picked.

"Little brother, I'm going to the latrine, I'll come when I go." Xiao Yao clutched his stomach and went downstairs as he spoke.

She didn't go to the toilet, but wanted to see the herbs in the hands of those people, she had also seen some herbs in Ruyi City in the early years, and those people would also let her decoct medicines, some common and cherished ones she had seen, such as ginseng or something, she also tasted it, and she didn't think there was anything delicious about this thing.

On the first floor, the group of people found a place to sit down, and the medicinal herbs in their hands were placed at their feet, Xiao Yao looked at it, this herb was very fresh, but it was not a cherished medicinal material.

"This Xuanyuan family is really not a thing, a few of us didn't catch anything in the mountains this time, only picked up some worthless things." A strong man took the herb in front of him, and then put it down heavily, his heart full of complaints.

"This is originally a predictable thing, now this season is the time when there is a shortage of herbs, plus it is the territory of the Xuanyuan family, they must have picked the previous herbs early, we are just refining some pills to eat this time, what does it matter if it is worth it or not." A man who looked to be in his early thirties said very calmly, it could be seen that he was the boss here, and his words were very steady and confident, unlike several other people.

Xiao Yao sat next to him and drank tea, and when he heard what these people said, he knew some things, it turned out that there were no good things on this mountain, if he wanted to win, he must get some precious medicinal materials.

But precious medicinal materials need money, where does she have so much money.

"A few strong men, I just heard you talk, it seems that you want to refine medicine, I wonder if you can refine medicine?" Xiao Yao walked over and asked, she knew that this medicine was also a pill or a tael of silver, not a cheap item.

"Who are you?" When everyone saw a little girl suddenly appear, they didn't rush to answer her question, but asked her origin first.

"My name is Xiao Yao, this time I came to Ziwu City with my brother to play, I just heard from you that there doesn't seem to be anyone among you who can do alchemy, so how about we make a deal?" Xiao Yao said quirkily.

"What deal?" The eldest of them looked at Xiao Yao and asked.

Xiao Yao took out a porcelain vase from her belt, and in the porcelain vase was a pill of Bigu Dan, which Bai Jing gave her before, so that she could eat it when she was hungry.

"You go to the mountain again, and when the time comes, you will collect the medicine along the foot of the mountain, all the way to the top of the mountain, and then collect it from the other side of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and then bring those medicines back to me, and I can ask my brother to refine similar pills for you with these medicinal materials in your hands, look at these medicinal materials, let alone refine thirty or fifty pills, how about it?"

These medicinal materials add up to six or seven hundred catties, but these medicinal materials can only be refined into thirty or fifty pills, which is enough to see that this Bigu Dan still consumes a lot of medicinal materials.

"Little girl, the deal you said is very interesting, the six of us brothers agreed, this medicinal material belongs to you, we will go up the mountain again, and come to get the pill early tomorrow morning."

"Wait." Xiao Yao saw that these people were leaving, and immediately stopped these people.

"What? The girl wants to regret it? The Boss asked.

"No, I'm just a little woman who is powerless, can you strong men help carry the medicinal herbs into the room?" Xiao Yao smiled weakly, quite innocent.

Several people smiled after hearing this, took the initiative to carry the herbs, and followed Xiao Yao upstairs.

A few people upstairs put the herbs in the front hall, and said to Xiao Yao that they would see you early tomorrow morning, and left here.

"What's going on?" Bai Jing heard the movement outside and turned the screen to come out, just in time to see Xiao Yao close the door, and there were many herbs on the ground.

Xiao Yao talked about what she had just encountered downstairs.

"We can get some herbs just by refining some herbs, what a good thing, little brother, let's hurry up and refine the herbs." Xiao Yao untied the cloth bag with the medicinal herbs, and saw that there were a lot of miscellaneous things in it, probably these people didn't know what could refine medicine, so they cut down all the things they saw, but they were all herbs that could be seen halfway up the mountain, and they didn't go to the top.

Bai Jing sighed, he didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so persistent in refining medicine.

"Alas, okay, let's go to the shopkeeper to borrow a vacant lot and refine it in the backyard of the inn." If you refine it in the room, I'm afraid this house won't be able to live in it.

"Okay, I knew that my little brother would definitely agree." Xiao Yao said happily: "But let me pick and choose first, and move the herbs that I know that can be used, and those that I don't know and can't use will stay." ”

Or the girl is more careful, can care about these small details, Bai Jing poured a pot of tea, and let Xiao Yao be busy, she seems to like these things very much, which is also a good thing.

At night, Bai Jing went out to buy a medicine stove when Xiao Yao was choosing, and put it next to the kitchen of the inn, the location here is relatively empty, and it will not smoke people.

After finishing it, Bai Jingfei went up to the window on the second floor and threw down all the herbs one by one.
