Chapter 11: Le Ya Ge
In the early morning, everything is silent, and a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon gradually illuminates the earth.
In the rock city, many hawkers also came out early to set up stalls, shouting at passers-by, just to earn a little silver taels to feed a family.
Not everyone in the city can practice, and most of them have no talent for cultivation, so they can only live on the rewards they get for their labor.
But when it comes to cultivation, the residents of Rock City can invariably think of the three major forces in the city, these three forces are entrenched in Rock City, and their strength is strong, and they are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people.
These three major forces are the Yuan family, the Su family, and the City Lord's Mansion that has existed since the establishment of Iwajo.
Among these three major forces, except for the Yuan family, which is from outside, the other two are the forces that have existed in Iwacheng for a long time, and the three major forces do not give in to each other, and gradually form a three-legged trend.
At this time, on the bustling street, an emaciated figure walked slowly among the crowds of people coming and going, with a contemplative look on his face, and the noisy shouting around him did not seem to have any effect on him.
This figure is obviously Yuan Jing, and it has been more than an hour since he left the end of the world.
Yuan Jing came to this rock city, naturally with a purpose, although the Huoyun unicorn bloodline in his body was temporarily suppressed by Dao Xuan, but it was not for long.
Because the blood essence in it has already been exhausted by him, if he doesn't exchange blood, I'm afraid he won't have much time.
Therefore, the purpose of Yuan Jing coming to this rock city is to prepare medicinal materials for blood exchange, because blood exchange is not a simple matter, in addition to the Yuan beast blood that must be prepared, many auxiliary elixirs are also needed, and the two are combined, and the blood exchange can be successful.
Yuan Jing walked in the street, his heart was quite troubled, he only knew that he had come to Rock City to buy elixir, but he had forgotten the fact that his pocket was empty!
If you don't have silver taels, what can you take to buy elixir?
As he walked, the noisy shouting around him suddenly decreased, and Yuan Jing looked up and saw a luxuriously decorated attic.
The attic is dark gold as a whole, with four floors high, like a pyramid, the higher the floor, the smaller it becomes, and each floor has four corners extending out, which is magnificent.
At the top of the attic door, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing at the door depict the three big characters of "Li Yage".
The "Li Ya Pavilion" Yuan Jing in front of him is not unfamiliar, it is a shop under the command of the city lord's mansion, and the elixirs and weapons sold in it are either expensive or expensive, and ordinary people are daunted by the price at a glance.
Therefore, this "Li Ya Ge" is also quite famous in the rock city, and everyone who can enter and exit it is either rich or noble.
Yuan Jing looked at Li Yage, subconsciously touched his pocket, and then took out a few fragments of silver taels.
Looking down at the bits and pieces of silver taels in his hand, Yuan Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, just this bit of silver taels, I'm afraid it's not enough for him to eat a meal, and he still wants to buy expensive elixirs?
Although it is good that he is the third young master of the Yuan family, he has already been given up by the Yuan family because he cannot cultivate because his muscles and veins are exhausted, and naturally the silver and silver grades cannot be given to him as before.
Yuan Jing shook his head, stuffed the fragmented silver taels in his hand back into his pocket, and after standing in place for a while, he wanted to turn around and leave.
Since he didn't have a penny on him, it was pointless for him to stay here.
And just as Yuan Jing was about to turn around and leave, a surprised voice sounded not far away.
"Brother Jing?"
I saw that not far away, an obese figure was slowly walking on the street, and after seeing Yuan Jing, the fat face was slightly surprised, and then hurriedly trotted over.
When this figure ran slowly, the fat on his body also trembled, and it looked like a walking meatloaf.
Yuan Jing turned around to look, and when he saw this fat figure, he also showed surprise on his face, and said in surprise: "Fat Su?"
Su Fatzi's real name is Suning Thin, and he is the second young master of the Su family, one of the three major forces in Rock City, although there is discord between the Yuan and Su families, but Yuan Jing and Su Fatzi are a pair of good friends.
At the same time, this is also Yuan Jing's only friend in Rock City.
After the fat man Su slowly ran in front of Yuan Jing, he supported his knees with both hands, his mouth kept panting, and beads of sweat were dripping down his fat face.
Just a small break in the road is not light to tire him out.
Yuan Jing saw the appearance of Su Fatman, his face showed helplessness, and said slowly: "I said Su Fatty, can you stop eating, look at your figure, you are almost able to catch up with the old sow." ”
After Fat Su gasped for a moment, he waved his hand at Yuan Jing and replied, "Brother Jing, it's not that you don't know me, cultivation is not suitable for me, and I have no other preferences except food." ”
Yuan Jing smiled, but he didn't argue with him, changed the topic, and quipped: "Fat Su, with your character who can lie down and don't leave on weekdays, how can you have such a Yaxing today, and you still go shopping?"
When Su Fatzi heard this, his face turned bitter, and he complained bitterly: "It's not my father yet, and he said that I should come out and buy some Tianling grass." ”
"I told him to let my subordinates come out to buy it, but he didn't let me, so he had to let me come out and buy it, and said that young people should go out and walk around more, and don't stay at home all the time. ”
"Hahaha. ”
When Yuan Jing heard this, he immediately laughed, patted Su Fatzi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Look, you can't even look at your father with this figure, and now they are starting to find excuses to drive you out to exercise." ”
"I advise you, it's better to lose weight honestly, and then listen to your father's words and work hard to cultivate. Yuan Jing continued.
"I'll leave it at that. ”
Hearing Yuan Jing's words, Fat Su hurriedly shook his head, with a depressed expression, although his father often forced him to cultivate, but it was really difficult for him to be interested in the boring cultivation day after day.
"By the way, Brother Jing, what are you doing here?" Fat Su looked at Yuan Jing and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Yuan Jing pointed to Li Yage in front of him, and replied, "Just like you, come out and buy some elixir." ”
"But, you also know my situation Su Fatty, I actually forgot this before I went out, and now I am planning to go back. Yuan Jing said helplessly.
He is not shy about Su Fatzi Yuanjing, after all, the two have been friends for so many years, and Su Fatzi also knows his situation, and he has no need to hide it.
However, there is one point, Yuan Jing did not tell Su Fatzi, that is Dao Xuan's matter, although Dao Xuan did not tell him not to tell others before leaving, but he felt that it was better not to tell anyone about this matter.
After all, this matter is too shocking, if outsiders know about it, it will inevitably cause onlookers, so that after something happens, he can't face Dao Xuan.
Hearing Yuan Jing's words, Fat Su hurriedly patted his chest and said confidently: "Brother Jing wants to buy any elixir, just say, we don't have anything, just more than two silver." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fatzi pulled Yuan Jing and walked towards the gate of Li Ya Pavilion.
Before Yuan Jing could react, his face was shocked, and he was pulled into Li Yage by Su Fatzi, and at the same time, there was a warm current surging in his heart.
Although Su Fatzi has a lot of shortcomings, he absolutely doesn't say anything to him, obviously treating him as a real friend.
After entering the Li Ya Pavilion, the splendid decoration caught Yuan Jing's eye, and the flow of people inside was obviously much less than on the street outside, and the people walking back and forth were all rich and well-dressed people.
After Yuan Jing and Su Fatzi took a turn on the first floor, they found that there were no medicinal materials they wanted, so they walked towards the second floor.
The first floor of Li Yage only sold some first-grade elixirs, and only the second floor had the medicinal materials that Yuan Jing and Su Fatzi wanted.
As soon as he stepped into the second floor, Yuan Jing found that unlike the first floor, the decoration here was more brilliant, and the number of people was only a few dozen.
And after Yuan Jing and the two had just stepped into the second floor, a woman in a cheongsam led up, bowed slightly to the two, and said softly: "Welcome the two sons to Li Yage." ”
"May I ask what the two sons need?" the woman asked softly.
Yuan Jing glanced at the fat man Su beside him, signaling him to buy his own first, the fat man Su understood, looked at the woman, and said, "Buy a Tianling grass." ”
"Okay, two sons, please come with me. ”
The woman replied, and after finishing speaking, she walked in front of Yuan Jing and the others, twisted her bewitching body, and slowly walked towards the counter where the Heavenly Spirit Grass was stored.
Following behind the woman, Su Fatzi stared at the woman's buttocks with his eyes, while Yuan Jing slowly looked away and looked around, and at the same time, he began to sigh in his heart about the luxury of this Li Yage.
After a while, the three of them walked to the front of the counter, and the woman turned around, and when she saw Su Fatzi's eyes, she didn't react, smiled slightly, and said, "This is the Tianling Grass that the two sons want." ”
Yuan Jing looked at the counter, the counter was not big, and there were five or six elixirs in it, but when he saw the price card hanging in front of the elixir, Yuan Jing's eyelids trembled.
The second-grade elixir Tianling Grass costs 1,200 taels?!
it!
Yuan Jing's expression was unmoved, but he exclaimed in his heart, the price of a second-grade elixir is so expensive? I am afraid that ordinary people can't afford it with a year's income.
It's no wonder that Yuan Jing was so shocked, he didn't have to worry about the elixir at all before, and the silver taels were a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in his eyes, but now that he is down, when he sees these prices, he will inevitably feel expensive.
Su Fatzi was different from Yuan Jing, waved his hand at the woman, and shouted, "Wrap up Young Master Ben!"
"Okay childe. ”
The woman smiled, carefully took out the Tianling Grass from the counter, then put it in a wooden box, and when she was done, handed it to Su Fatzi.
Su Fatzi took the box, took out more than a dozen silver tickets from his pocket, and handed them to the woman without changing his face.
Yuan Jing watched all this, and when the transaction between the two was completed, he hurriedly pulled Su Fat to the side, and said in a low voice: "I said Su Fatty, this second-grade elixir is so expensive, I'd better forget it." ”
The amount of elixir he needs is not a lot, and it adds up to a lot of money, and he is a friend of Su Fatzi, so he doesn't want Su Fatzi to break the bank.
Although Yuan Jing knew that it would be more troublesome to give up this opportunity, it was not that there was no elixir in the Yuan family, and it would be up to his father to ask at that time, and there was no need to let Su Fat Man spend so much.
Yuan Jing didn't expect that after hearing what he said, Fat Su hurriedly patted his thick pocket, and said indifferently: "Calm Brother Jing, I have brought all my wealth with me when I go out this time, and it is okay to buy a few elixirs here." ”
Yuan Jing looked at Su Fatty's pocket, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Fat Su with a serious expression, and said, "That's a good fat man, this time I will accept your love." ”
"Okay, Brother Jing, who are the two of us. ”
Su Fatzi's hand put on Yuan Jing's shoulder and smiled, and the fat on his face shook at this time.
