Chapter Ninety-Six: The Illustrated Book of Curiosities

In the early morning of the second day, the inn where everyone settled was lively, and the horses neighed constantly. The guests in the entire inn are almost all mercenaries who are on a protection mission with Bai Hua and the others.

And the children of the Lu family who were protected were all a few years older than Xia Yan, but they spoke coldly and arrogantly, in their eyes, these mercenaries naturally could not be compared with their identities.

Xia Yan temporarily bought some medicines to treat injuries and repel poison in Niusnake Town, and in addition, he also bought a copy of "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland". This time he entered the Sin Forest, Xia Yan was looking for the medicinal herb Pipa Grass, but he was not proficient in medicinal materials, and even if he encountered it, he might not be able to recognize it, but this "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Continent" recorded almost all the types of medicinal materials and ores on the mainland.

It's a lot of money, but it's worth it.

As soon as the sun rose, everyone had already left Oxsnake Town and continued to think about the north. All the way to the smoke and dust, the figures of everyone gradually disappeared into the distance.

Thirty miles further north, there is the first fortress on the mainland. This fortress is not heavily defended in normal times, and only when the army of the people of the Dark Night Continent comes to attack in large numbers, will a huge army from the entire continent be gathered here to defend against the enemy under the mobilization of the Holy Land.

Bai Rui has been walking with Xia Yan, and she couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw Xia Yan walking and reading the thick book of "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland".

This illustrated book, even in Baiqing City, will sell for a gold coin. And in Cowsnake Town, the price seems to be a little more expensive. Bai Rui was a little puzzled, why Xia Yan bought this illustrated book temporarily.

While Xia Yan was walking with the team, he could still concentrate on reading, so that Bai Rui kept playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Looking at Xia Yan's focused appearance, it doesn't seem like he is pretending.

Bai Rui naturally didn't know Xia Yan's ability, after Xia Yan cultivated the Lingluo Mental Method, his memory ability was outstanding, and even those unfathomable classics could never be forgotten, not to mention this mere "Illustrated Book of Rare Treasures of the Mainland". Xia Yan only needs to read it once, and he can write down all the ores and medicinal materials on it, as well as various characteristics, smells, etc., Xia Yan can repeat them word for word.

Several children of the Lu family sat in the spacious carriage, their eyes swept over the mercenaries from time to time, occasionally showing disdainful looks.

"Huh?"

Xia Yan's eyes flashed.

Before you know it, the book has been flipped to the last few pages. In these last few pages, the color of the paper is not the same as the previous one, and the font size is much larger. Xia Yan saw that on the front page of it, the words 'Ten Treasures' of the Dragon Continent were clearly written.

Looking at the bottom, there are some very bizarre-looking pictures of medicinal herbs and ores, all of which are described in detail.

"Ten Treasures!" Xia Yan shook his head, his eyes flashing with excitement.

He saw that the introduction on the illustrated book said that each of these ten treasures was a priceless treasure, and it was impossible to buy it on the mainland, and no amount of gold coins could buy it. Any kind of medicinal herb and ore is a treasure that countless cultivators are frantically pursuing. However, these things are almost legends on the mainland.

In front of the top ten curiosities, there are many special medicinal materials and ores introduced, all of which are priceless treasures, but when Xia Yan saw these ten treasures, he couldn't help but feel that the ones in front of him were very ordinary, even if they were specially marked medicinal materials and ores that were priceless.

"Sure enough, it's one of the top ten treasures!" waited for Xia Yan to finish reading it, and then sighed and praised it in a low voice.

"Hey, it's a pity that you can't ask for it. Xia Yan chuckled, although the ten treasures are good, but they can't be forced, if you want to get these treasures, you need a coincidence.

"What is there to meet and not to ask for?"

Seeing that Xia Yan combined the illustrated book to death, Bai Rui finally spoke. Seeing Xia Yan looking at the illustrated book carefully, Bai Rui endured it without disturbing.

"Oh, it's one of the top ten treasures of the mainland!" Xia Yan smiled and raised the illustrated book in his hand, "Bai Rui, have you seen the illustrated book before?"

Bai Rui pursed her lips and said, "We mercenaries, if we haven't seen the illustrated book, then what kind of mercenary are we?

Xia Yan's question was indeed a bit silly, hearing Bai Rui say this, Xia Yan had no choice but to laugh a few times.

"Well, I've never seen it before, and I've been busy cultivating. This time, I entered the Forest of Sin to find a medicinal herb, so I took a temporary look at this illustrated book, and saved myself from seeing the medicinal herb but not knowing it. Xia Yan said with a chuckle.

Bai Ruimei's eyes turned, and a coquettish smile appeared on her face and said, "Then you are holding Buddha's feet temporarily, did you see the medicinal materials, and then take out the illustrated book and compare them one by one?"

Xia Yan shook his head, and put the illustrated book workshop into the package behind him before saying, "I have written down all the contents on it, and now when I see those medicinal materials, I will recognize them." ”

Bai Rui was slightly stunned, then chuckled, and pointed at Xia Yan with a slender finger like white jade, and laughed so hard that the flowers and branches trembled.

Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly.

Bai Ruizhi laughed for a while, and then said out of breath: "I found that you are really funny, cute and talkative, yesterday I said that I was going to impact the realm of the spirit master, and today I read the illustrated book for less than half a day and said that I wrote it all down." Giggles, if you want to say big things, you have to say something that can be believed!"

Hearing Bai Rui say this, Xia Yan rolled his eyes, it turned out that Bai Rui thought he was talking big.

"Hmph~"

A cold snort came from the carriage.

Among these children of the Lu family, one is a woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance is quite beautiful, but compared with Xia Zixin, Wang Yuyan and other women, it is a grade worse. Even Bai Rui is a little more beautiful than her. Ever since she saw Xia Yan, the woman had been focusing on Xia Yan from time to time.

At this time, seeing Bai Rui and Xia Yan laughing, he must have felt uncomfortable, so he snorted directly.

Bai Ruimei looked at the carriage and didn't mind.

"Hey, in fact, you really shouldn't have spent so much money to buy the illustrated book, wait until you see the medicinal materials, and then take out the illustrated book to compare, where is it too late, it has already been snatched away." What herbs are you looking for, I'll ask my brother to find them for you. Bai Rui ignored the cold snort and jealous gaze in the carriage, and said happily to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "I really wrote it down, this illustrated book is useless to me now." ”

Bai Rui puffed out her cheeks and said a little angrily: "You really want to save face, then you say, how many kinds of medicinal materials and how many ores are there on this illustrated book." ”

Obviously, Bai Rui wants to embarrass Xia Yan, even if ordinary people remember all the medicinal materials and ores in the illustrated book, I am afraid they will not know how many kinds there are.

Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui and found that there was a trace of cunning in Bai Rui's eyes, so he laughed.

"Why, can't you say it, can you? tell you to talk big!" Bai Rui raised his fist proudly.

Xia Yan said, "There are a total of five hundred and forty-eight primary, intermediate, and advanced medicinal materials, forty-two special medicinal materials, and seven rare medicinal materials. There are a total of fifty-three ores, eleven special ores, and three rare ores. ”
