Chapter 1037: Know-it-all
While meditating, while adjusting the mood, the sleepiness gradually faded, it seems that after the realm reaches the seventh order of the martial realm, the effect of meditation is no different from sleeping, but lying down is more comfortable.
There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong, who was still sitting on the bed, was woken up by a passing business traveler. After getting out of bed and washing up briefly, thinking of the two golden Yan fruits placed on his chest, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to figure out the effect of the golden Yan fruit as soon as possible.
I closed the door and went downstairs to the hall and asked for a good breakfast. When the guy came over with food, Lin Xuanzhong asked directly, "Is there a place to sell books here?"
"I wonder if the guest officer is asking about martial arts or ordinary books?"
"Ordinary books!"
"If the guest officer wants to consult all kinds of ancient books, he can only go to the City Lord's Mansion, which contains the most complete collection of books, covering all aspects, and the rest of the city sells books such as martial arts and prescriptions. ”
"I want to check the effect of some herbs, but where can I find out?"
"Presumably, what the guest officer wants to check is not ordinary medicinal herbs, except for the City Lord's Mansion, the small one can't think of any other place to find it, or not go to the shopkeeper to ask?"
"Okay," I don't even know what the name of this city is, and I don't have a relationship with the city lord's mansion, so it's probably impossible to borrow someone's library for use. It's a pity that this is only a small city, otherwise you can find a big pharmacy and inquire directly.
"Guest officer, our shopkeeper said that there is a man in the city named Know-it-all, this person is of ordinary strength, but he is well-read and claims to know everything. Usually, there are even some martial cultivators with dull qualifications who go to this person to ask for knowledge about cultivation, and if the guest officer looks for him, he should be able to ask for clarification. ”
"Okay, when I finish breakfast, you can accompany me on a trip," said Lin Xuanzhong, who took out a few pieces of jade and put them on the table.
"Okay," he agreed, and the guy's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a few pieces of jade to find their shopkeeper, and then came back with a smile and waited next to Lin Xuanzhong. The jade given by Lin Xuanzhong is equivalent to the average day's income of the inn, even if there is only one guy, the shopkeeper has no reason not to let the guy go.
Not long after, the two left the inn. After Lin Xuanzhong explained that he was not from this city, the guy told Lin Xuanzhong about the situation in this city very enthusiastically.
There are not many forces in the city, and the place is not large, but there are many refugees, and it is an extremely ordinary small city. On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, the city lord's mansion will also send people to help the refugees to ensure that those refugees will not starve to death.
According to the man, the young people of the original refugees could not find a livelihood in the city, and many of them had gone to join the army, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people with no support. Their city lord wanted to take in all the refugees, but he was unable to do so, because there were too many refugees and there was a shortage of supplies in the city. However, the order in the city was good, and the refugees were also protected by the law, and no one usually bullied them, and no one had time to bully them.
Compared to other cities, everything in this city is normal, and the city lord's palace has used a lot of manpower to cultivate land and build houses on the edge of the city. The houses were built to accommodate the refugees, who would be able to ensure that they would not starve to death by planting land on the edge of the city and providing supplies for the city, which is why the people of the city went out of the city in the morning.
Looking at those people holding all kinds of tools one by one, Lin Xuanzhong did not have any doubts about the man's statement. In this way, the situation in the city was indeed stable, and all thanks to the good lord of the city. Unlike Cloud City, it is already a good thing for the city lord not to oppress the refugees, let alone help those refugees.
As we walked, there were some stall owners on the street, selling very few kinds of things, and there were not many people buying things, but the faces of those stall owners were not sad, and they all had a little smile on their faces, and it seemed that they were quite satisfied with the current business.
After the guy explained the situation in the city in detail, Lin Xuanzhong admired the city lord more and more, and unconsciously, he also had the idea of giving the two bags of jade to the city lord, because that would not only make the two bags of jade come in handy, but also save Lin Xuanzhong a lot of trouble.
The town was not big, and as they walked, the two of them soon walked to the middle of the city, and according to the innkeeper's explanation, the fellow easily found the house with only one door.
Early in the morning, there were not many people in the city, it was extremely deserted, although the doors of the shops and inns were open, but there were no customers, but surprisingly, there were many people standing in line at the door of the room pointed to by the guy.
If you look closely, the room is located in the middle of two inns, from the left it belongs to the inn on the left, and from the right it belongs to the inn on the right.
After following the guy over there, there were all martial cultivators in front of him, all dressed ordinarily, not like rich people, and it was not difficult to imagine that only the know-it-all in the house was willing to guide them. It's just that after thinking about it like this, Lin Xuanzhong wondered why the know-it-all didn't open a museum to accept apprentices, wouldn't it be more convenient.
"Guest officer, don't worry, I heard the shopkeeper say that Pepsi has a strange temper, if you cut the queue in. If you have any questions, people will ignore them, "I'm afraid that Lin Xuanzhong and the others are in a hurry, so the innkeeper hurriedly reminded him."
"Well," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong didn't have any doubts about his man's words, after all, he still understood the principle of following the local customs, and only hoped that there would be no problems at the inn during his errands. Last night's events may have been reported, whether those local forces will give up, Lin Xuanzhong is not clear for the time being.
While waiting, I listened to the person in front of me. It turns out that there is also a rule that no matter what kind of question is answered, only one piece of jade will be charged at a time, which is also the reason why those people can wait with peace of mind.
After a stick of incense, let the guy wait outside the door, Lin Xuanzhong walked in excitedly. After entering the door, I looked around, and the various furnishings in front of me did not make people feel amazed, and everything was extremely normal. A table and a chair are ordinary, and even the know-it-all himself is just as ordinary. An old man in coarse linen clothes, an ordinary face, and that featureless look are enough to show that the old man in front of him is an ordinary person.
It's just that after this old man smiled slightly, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that the impetuosity in his heart had all dissipated, and a feeling of emptiness arose.
"Little brother, what's your problem?" When Lin Xuanzhong kept looking at the old man in front of him, the old man had already pointed to a cloth bag where jade was stored and asked Lin Xuanzhong.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what Jin Yanguo is?" Looking at him in front of him, he was obviously just a third-order martial cultivator, but in front of the other party, Lin Xuanzhong had a heartfelt sense of respect.
"Jin Yan fruit, shaped like Jindan, meat like silk, taste like spirits, surprising effect, ranked tenth in the list of exotic fruits, has the effect of treating both internal and external injuries, strengthening muscles and bones, and can also improve martial arts cultivation to a certain extent, so it is also known as 'Natural Jindan'. ”
Without thinking about it, the old man poured out all the answers that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to know, worthy of his title, but it brought a problem to Lin Xuanzhong.
The words "Alien Fruit Ranking" don't sound like ordinary words, and Lin Xuanzhong wants to know about it.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, what is a strange fruit?"
"If you want to know, you need to do the old man a small favor. ”
"Your Majesty, please?"
"When you leave, take all the jade out of your cloth pocket, buy the breakfast from all over the city, and find some people to distribute it to the refugees everywhere. ”
The old man's words are full of philosophy, which makes people feel meaningful when they hear it, thinking that what the other party wants him to do is exactly what he wants, Lin Xuanzhong really can't refuse.
"No problem," after agreeing, Lin Xuanzhong admired the old man's personality even more.
"The so-called exotic fruit refers to all the heaven and earth spiritual fruits that are beneficial to martial arts cultivation in the whole world, a total of nineteen kinds, the ancestors ranked them one by one according to the efficacy of the different fruits, Jin Yan fruit is only one of them, and there are ...... left" The old man did not have a look of impatience, and introduced them to Lin Xuanzhong one by one from front to back.
Under the old man's wonderful narration, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were scattered, and he finally came to the conclusion that the alien fruit was like those high-grade pills, each of which had magical effects, the higher the ranking, the more difficult it was to obtain, and the most important thing was that eating the alien fruit had less negative impact on martial arts cultivation than taking the pill. After seeing all kinds of wonders, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised by the specialness of the strange fruit, but he was not too surprised.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
"You're welcome, if the old man is not mistaken, what you want to know is not the ranking of those strange fruits and what kind of functions the various different fruits have, but just want to know the price of the strange fruits. ”
"As a reward for your work for the old man, the old man might as well tell you that there is a big mess today, and the major forces are trying to improve their own strength, and all the strange fruits are priceless. Some won't take it out and sell it, and if you don't want it, you can't get it, and the little brother has the golden fruit on him, and he needs to be careful everywhere so as not to attract death. ”
"How do you know I have a fruit on me?"
"Don't say, Your Excellency, please go back, there are still people waiting behind!"
"Okay," nodded, seeing that the other party looked mysterious as if he was telling fortunes, Lin Xuanzhong didn't ask much, and directly took the cloth bag containing jade in his hand and walked out of the house.
"As a word of advice, reducing the number of killings is very beneficial to your state of mind. ”
Before he walked outside the house, a voice came from behind him, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was listening, was shocked, and paused before stepping forward again.
