Chapter 208: The Last Two Things Before Breaking Through the Dawn
Before you know it, a month has passed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past month, Xing Shuchen has recovered from his injuries, and his cultivation has been completely consolidated, and he has also learned the Zhenzhi martial arts from Xiao Lin and Ye Zhaoyu. It can be said that it is very rewarding.
And after doing this, he also began to think about the next cultivation. He has broken through to the true peak of first knowledge, and his cultivation is very solid, it is time to break through and gradually understand.
It was just that he had two last things to do before breaking through the gradual dawn, the first of which was to go to the cold valley again, and he had to climb to the top of the three mountains with large wind sources.
This matter can't wait until the gradual dawn to do it, because the power of the strange wind in the cold valley increases with the level, and the places close to the top of the three mountains are simply already cross-border attack power. With his first-grade spirit weapon body, he was able to resist the wind attack of the fading level.
However, when he reached the Gradual Enlightenment level, his body was still the strength of a first-grade spiritual weapon, but he could not withstand the wind attack of the Dengtang Realm at all. So he had to go to the Chilly Valley to complete the rest of his plan before he broke through to the dawn.
As for the second thing, and the most important thing, that is, to cultivate the head. Although he only had his head left and did not practice, he was really not sure that he could wait until he became enlightened before cultivating. After all, those who have practiced the Yuan Shen Forging Method have not yet cultivated at the level of gradual enlightenment.
So he should honestly practice at the beginner level, and don't do that daring thing. This kind of case of playing with fire and self-immolation has appeared many times throughout history, and he doesn't want to be the next case.
Now that he has the Traceless Grass, the main medicine that protects the Yuan Shen, when he is cultivating his head, and he still lacks many auxiliary medicines, all he has to do is go to the Medicinal Herb Pavilion to exchange it.
Although only some excipients are needed this time, these excipients, both in terms of quantity and preciousness, are far from comparable to last time. The required contribution is naturally not comparable to what it used to be.
Fortunately, he pitted the sect last time...... Doing business with the sect in exchange for a lot of contributions, otherwise, I really don't know what to do this time.
Sure enough, the contribution he needed to exchange for these auxiliary medicinal materials this time reached as much as 90,000. It's really hard to imagine, if he hadn't been lucky enough to pick the traceless grass, these auxiliaries plus the main medicine, I really don't know how much contribution would be needed.
But this time, he had enough contribution, but he couldn't get enough medicinal materials. The last time Xing Shuchen came, he saw a list of medicinal materials that were currently scarce in the Medicinal Material Pavilion, and among them was one of the important auxiliary medicines he needed, Rhine Flower.
When he came this time, he found that the herbs were still out of stock, not only did they not make up for it, but they were even more scarce. This makes me speechless, I can't be so unlucky.
The Medicinal Herb Pavilion was also very helpless about this, saying that this Rhine flower was not a scarce medicinal material, and it was also easy to pick, but the growth rate was slow and the demand was still very large. After a long time, it is a little difficult to make ends meet.
But that's not the point, the point is that when the Rhineflower began to make ends meet, there was a large-scale failure. Even the rhine flowers that were picked out had no effect. This is true for all the places where the rhine flowers are grown.
In the end, the entire territory of Linnan was left, and there was only one place left where the effective Rhine flowers could be picked. Because this place is far away from my Dao Sect, the sect usually chooses to send people to pick the Rhine flowers when they are about to run out.
This time the situation was special, because he had to plan the task that Xing Xing Killing Dust carried out, so he was delayed for a while, and he originally planned to send someone to pick it after his task of picking Fengshen Grass was arranged. But after he set off, when the elder of the Medicinal Herb Pavilion wanted to send someone, the head of the sect sent someone to tell him that he didn't need to send someone.
As soon as the elder said this, Xing Shuchen immediately became alert, there were obviously no medicinal materials in the medicinal herb storehouse, but instead of sending someone to pick them, he even went to tell the elders of the Medicinal Materials Pavilion who were going to send someone to pick them that they didn't need to go.
If this happened before he went on a mission, he didn't necessarily know what the master wanted to do.
However, this incident was after he carried out his mission, and at that time the master already knew that he needed this medicinal herb, but he still did it. It can only mean one thing, and that is that he intends to let himself pick it. Looks like there's something going on here.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked the elder of the Medicinal Herb Pavilion, "Elder, dare to ask where is the only place where you can pick the Rhine flower?"
"That place is named after the Rhine flower, and it's called the Rhine Kingdom. The elder said without thinking.
"Rhine Country?" Xing Shuchen was surprised: "Is there another country in this Linnan Realm? Isn't the Linnan Realm ruled by three clans and four clans?"
When mentioning the three clans and four clans, Xing Shuchen saw an undisguised expression of disdain on the elder's face, only to hear him sneer:
"Hmph, what are the three clans and four clans? Child, remember, what everyone is preaching is not necessarily right. The so-called three clans and four clans, in addition to our Dao Sect, you only need to know one Penglai.
Because only Penglai is qualified to be called the same as my Taoist sect. As for the others. Let me tell you this, they are not even as good as the martial arts. It's all a bunch of selfish guys. ”
When the elder said this, his face was full of disgust, as if mentioning several major forces other than Dao Sect and Penglai would make him feel disgusted.
And what he said was very resolute, he didn't see any scruples at all, it was almost as if the Dao Sect didn't take those forces seriously.
Xing Shuchen was a little speechless, and he really didn't know how to answer his words. But he could sense that there should be something going on here.
But he couldn't follow this topic, that would get more and more off-topic, so he hurriedly brought the topic back: "What about this Rhine country? What kind of situation does it belong to? Is it better than those Taoist systems?"
"That's not it, this Rhine is a small country, and it only occupies a few hundred provinces. Although the four tribes are not enough compared to the above, they are still more than those under them. A small country like this can be destroyed with a wave of their hand. ”
"Occupy hundreds of mansions?" Xing Shuchen was surprised, the Daqing County where the Dao Sect was located only had dozens of mansions.
The Rhine Kingdom, which ruled over hundreds of provinces, was only said to be a small country by the elders, which was really difficult for him to accept. So he couldn't help but ask:
"That...... Elder, I remember that there are only a few dozen prefectures in Dao Sect's Great Qing County, right? This Rhine Kingdom has hundreds of prefectures, how can it be that it is only a small country in your mouth?"
Hearing this, the Medicinal Herb Pavilion elder smiled, "Do you know how many mansions I have in the Southern Realm?"
He asked where Xing Shuchen could know, it was tantamount to embarrassing him as a little white. Xing Shuchen shook his head directly without thinking about it.
Next, the elder of the Medicinal Herb Pavilion said a number that stunned him: "Nearly fifty thousand mansions." ”
Xing Shuchen's jaw was about to be smashed to the ground in shock, when the second elder of the department told them about the general trend of the world, he once told them that one continent has two regions, one domain has four realms, one realm has several counties, and one county has several mansions.
He thought that there were only dozens or hundreds of prefectures, and all the counties added up to thousands, but he never imagined that there were nearly 50,000 prefectures.
Seeing his surprised look, the elder smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised, that's the case, of course, there are also big and small differences between these mansions, and the elder should have told you about this." ”
This Xing Shuchen remembered that the second elder did say that although the area between each realm was about the same, the area between the county capitals and cities was very different from each other.
The big prefectures in some large counties are simply bigger than a small county, and they are almost the same from prefecture to prefecture. It can be seen that there is a huge disparity. Thinking of this, Xing Shuchen hurriedly nodded.
"yes. The elder smiled: "I know, you don't know much about the mansion, and the county only knows about Daqing County." Oh yes, you're from Penglai, and you should know Changtian County, where Penglai is located.
But you don't know that these two counties are the two largest counties in the entire Linnan Territory. Each of them is about half the size of the Rhine.
Moreover, of the nearly 50,000 prefectures in the southern realm, 20,000 are under the jurisdiction of my Dao Sect. I said that the Rhine is a small country, right?"
Xing Shuchen swallowed his saliva and nodded fiercely. This guy, there are a total of seven forces on the bright side of the Linnan Realm, and two-fifths of the place is under the control of the Dao Sect.
It is estimated that Penglai also has to occupy more than 10,000 mansions, that is to say, the remaining 20,000 mansions are divided by those five forces, no wonder the Taoist sect does not take them seriously.
Knowing that he understood, the elder continued:
"In fact, there are some such small dynasties within the jurisdiction of my Dao Sect, although the ruling power there belongs to the royal family, but their land belongs to my Dao Sect. That's why they need to pay tribute to my Dao Sect every year.
The same is true of the Rhine Kingdom, but he is under the jurisdiction of the White Cloud Sect, and the White Cloud Sect is also one of the so-called three sects, and his strength is still alive.
Since the medicinal herbs picked in the places where the Rhine flowers grow everywhere have failed for some reason, in the entire Linnan Realm, only this Rhine country can pick effective Rhine flowers.
And this rhine flower has also become the country's largest source of money. After that incident, the Rhine Kingdom strictly forbade all outsiders to enter the medicinal fields where the Rhine flowers were grown. It can only be purchased at spiritual medicine stores in the Rhineland.
It's just because my Taoist sect is special that they can't afford to offend, so we have the qualifications to make an exception to go there to pick fresh rhine flowers.
The Great Elder had gone to investigate the cause of the failure of the Rhine Flower in other places, and he seemed to have found something. It's just that he didn't tell us, only a few people such as the head of the sect.
For us, he only told us not to pick the Rhine flowers outside the picking area that the Rhine Kingdom had assigned to me for the Daoist Sect, and then he didn't reveal half a word. And when we explored it ourselves, we really didn't find anything. ”
Speaking of this, the elder sighed, as if he was very unwilling. And when Xing Shuchen heard this, he felt that there was no need to listen to it anymore, because he already understood that there must be something wrong with this. The master is going to let him solve the case.
But he needed this herb, and even if he knew it was a pit, he had to jump into it. It seems that this time, we have to be busy again.
