Chapter 6 Opposite

At noon, the sun was blazing.

After Zhou Zhen cleaned up in the room, he wanted to go to the back mountain, and before that, he had to go to the market to buy some herbs and pills for cultivation.

Zhou Zhen walked to the door and saw the old butler coming over.

"Young master, are you going out?" the old butler greeted.

"Hmm. Zhou Zhen nodded and responded: "By the way, old housekeeper, why haven't you seen Master Qingzhu and the second sister these days?"

"Master Qingzhu has already returned to Abbot Mountain two days ago, Second Miss, it must be for the city test, retreat. The old butler replied.

"The second sister is also working hard..."

In the previous city test, the Zhou family has not taken advantage, and the outside world is also suspicious of the Zhou family, believing that the Zhou family's strength has declined, and it is no longer qualified to be called one of the three major families, and some other family forces that are not inferior to the Zhou family are eyeing the Zhou family in a vain attempt to ban it.

The Zhou family was quite helpless and headache about this, and it was true that there were not many excellent disciples three years ago, but in this city test, the patriarch's son Zhou Zhen rose, and the young disciples represented by Zhou Zhen and the second sister in the sect have greatly improved their strength, so a good opportunity to save the face of the Zhou family and consolidate their status, the Zhou family does not want to miss it.

Therefore, the top five in this city test, the Zhou family must account for one of them!

......

Zhou Zhen walked out of the gate, and about ten minutes later, he came to the market.

The bazaar here is not a vegetable market that sells vegetables and melons, but a place dedicated to selling alchemy, alchemy, herbs, pills, and some things of chance for cultivators.

"It's just a feather-level alchemy, seven hundred gold coins are too expensive, right?!"

"This ordinary herb actually costs two hundred gold coins?!"

......

Zhou Zhen walked around this big bazaar and took a look, a dazzling array of items came into view, and the sound of bargaining was often heard in his ears.

Most of these fortuitous things are found by some sellers in the deep mountains such as the Black Beast Mountain, where there are some poisonous snakes and beasts, and even ferocious monsters. Therefore, the price is on the high side, which is also reasonable. However, there are also some profiteers.

After walking around the street for a few minutes, Zhou Zhen didn't plan to buy the alchemy alchemy chapter, his family was one of the three major families in Xicheng this day, and the alchemy alchemy chapter in his collection was many times more advanced than that of here.

Therefore, Zhou Zhen only wants to start with certain herbs and pills now, after all, after a month of retreat, his strength will definitely improve, and he may even break through directly to the martial arts, and at this time, it is better to start with some herbs or pills that stabilize qi refining.

After walking for a few minutes, I came to a herb stand and stopped.

"Little brother, what kind of herb did you like?"

Seeing Zhou Zhen coming, the herb stall owner stepped forward and asked with a hippie smile. This appearance seems to be trying to make a fool of the stupid "big head" in front of him.

"Profiteers. Zhou Zhen scolded secretly in his heart, seeing what the stall owner was thinking. "I don't know if the stall owner has any herbs to consolidate qi refining, and pills are also fine. ”

"Consolidate Qi Refining......?" said the stall owner lowered his head and looked for it: "This 'Guji Grass' has this effect, and it only sells for three hundred gold coins!"

This herb doesn't have much aura around it, but Zhou Zhen can really see that this "solid base grass" is obviously better than other herbs.

"This is "Guji Grass?", even if the name is ugly, it looks so ugly, it can't be a lie, right?"

"This ......" was said by Zhou Zhen, and the stall owner realized that this dark herb was indeed quite ugly. All herbs, the higher the level of aura, the more aura is through, the more beautiful it is, but this "solid base grass" is contrary to common sense.

"Hehe, little brother, although this "solid foundation grass" is a bit ugly, the effect of stabilizing qi refining is indeed real. The stall owner explained: "That's it, little brother, if you don't worry, I'll lose a little, how about selling you two hundred and fifty gold coins?"

"Two hundred gold coins, two plants. ”

"This..."The stall owner choked again, the young people now, are they so difficult to handle?

"Forget it. Seeing that the stall owner was silent, Zhou Zhen said lightly, and wanted to leave.

"Hey, hey, wait, wait, little brother, don't go yet!"

"What's going on?" Zhou Zhen was still indifferent.

"Hehe, little brother, your two hundred gold coins and two plants are really a bit difficult for a strong man. Don't you know, for the sake of this "solid foundation grass", I took it from the hands of the demonic beasts, and I almost lost my life!"

"Although I killed the monster in the end, I was also injured a lot, you say, what I worked so hard to get is not only this price, right?" said the stall owner.

"You said you killed a monster?"

"That's not it, heaven and earth can be learned!" the stall owner patted his chest and said.

"Okay, where is the corpse of the demonic beast, I will pay for it with you. Zhou Zhen looked directly at the stall owner and said.

Seeing Zhou Zhen's straight gaze, the stall owner dodged slightly, a little weak-hearted, and then smiled.

"Hehe, little brother, in fact, I only seriously injured it, and did not kill it, but I did suffer from the injury, and I have not recovered so far, you see. With that, the stall owner lifted his clothes and exposed his chest, only to see three obvious scratches on his chest. "Little brother, you also know that it's not easy to do what we do. The stall owner said with embarrassment.

"Two hundred and eighty gold coins, two plants. ”

"Hey, okay!" Seeing that Zhou Zhen finally gave in, the stall owner was full of joy and hurriedly agreed.

Although Zhou Zhen held the initiative, he was not aggressive, but chose appropriate concessions. Zhou Zhen also knew that people like stall owners were not outstanding in cultivation talent, and they couldn't enter some forces to cultivate at all, but only cultivated on their own.

After reaching a certain level, they begin to go deep into the mountains to look for opportunities, and then sell them for money. And these things of chance, often some peers and monsters compete with them, and it is not easy to get them, and there are countless dead and injured.

It can be said that this type of people earn some life money. Deceiving buyers is hateful, but this kind of people are all old and young, and if they die at the hands of Warcraft, they naturally want to leave more money for their families.

There is also pity for the hateful.

After Zhou Zhen took the "solid grass" from the stall owner, he wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, there was a disgusting sound behind him.

"Third Young Master of the Zhou Family, don't be in a hurry to leave!"

Zhou Zhen turned around, and a young man in a pure white robe appeared in front of him, this young man's face was pale, not very handsome, no matter how he looked at it, his body was a little thin, and he was followed by several guards.

This line of people, who can make Dezhou really sick, is naturally a member of the Lin family, and the leading young man is the second young master of the Lin family, Lin Yun.

"Third Young Master Zhou is really fatal, he was seriously injured and was able to escape from my family's elders, huh? It seems that the old guy named Qingzhu helped, right?" Lin Yun amplified his voice and said meaningfully.

Because of Lin Yun's voice, the people around him surrounded him one after another.

"Isn't this the people of the Lin family and the Zhou family who fought a lot not long ago? Hehe, are you going to fight here again?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the City Lord's Mansion to hold a city test, and it was stipulated that no conflict was allowed during the city test, I guess the two would be able to fight again. ”

......

"Hmph, that's just the incompetence of your Lin family's dog. Facing the Lin family, Zhou Zhen was also unceremoniously, snorted coldly, and said.

"Tsk, you are worthy of being the young master of the Zhou family, you are really sharp-toothed. Lin Yun's face was a little ugly, and he was about to taunt, but he was unexpectedly bitten back. "But don't be too presumptuous, I've heard that Qingzhu has left the Zhou family, without the help of that watcher, your Zhou family, take it and fight with my Lin family!"

"Your Lin family is just a bigmouth fish that can climb trees, why do you think that if you hook up with the Heavenly Netherworld, you will be able to swallow clouds and spit out fog?"

"The Lin family actually has the support of the Heavenly Netherworld Alliance behind them?!" The people around couldn't help but cry out in horror, they had also heard that there was a force supporting the Lin family, so the Lin family openly started a war against the Zhou family, but they didn't expect that the one who supported the Lin family was actually the Heavenly Netherworld Alliance, one of the three major forces of the Xijin Dynasty!

"It seems that the defeat in the last battle gave your Zhou family a lot of confidence..."Lin Yun said with a cold face.

"Do it, break his leg for me!"

As soon as Lin Yun's words fell, the guards behind him walked towards Zhou Zhen with indifferent faces, and they wanted to make a move.

"Stop it!"

Just when the Lin family guards were about to make a move on Zhou Zhen, a coquettish sound came. A cyan shadow appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Su Ling, Miss Su, hehe, why do you have time to patrol today?"

Lin Yun looked at the cyan shadow that came over and said politely.

Su Ling, one of the three major families in Tianxi City, the daughter of the head of the Su family, is the same age as Zhou Zhen, she looks fresh and beautiful, with black hair scattered behind her, a light cyan dress, slender hands poking out of her sleeves, and the whole person looks very beautiful.

Not only is the person beautiful, but the cultivation talent is also excellent, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is already a nine-fold quenched body, with such beauty and strength, there are naturally many suitors.

After seeing Su Ling, Lin Yun restrained his arrogance, after all, his eldest brother was also one of his suitors.

"Lin Yun, hurry up and tell your people to retreat, this is my Su family's territory, I can't allow you to make trouble!" As soon as Su Ling came over, she gave Lin Yun a dismount and said with a cold expression.

"Hehe, Miss Su, don't get me wrong, I'm just joking. As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Don't retreat yet!"

Hearing this, several of the guards retreated.

"Zhou Zhen, you'd better not show up in the city test!"

Lin Yun threatened, and after speaking, he left with the guards. I secretly said in my heart: It's just a waste......

As Lin Yun left, the people around him also felt that this fight could not be fought, so they dispersed.

Hearing Lin Yun's provocation, Zhou Zhen was noncommittal, the corners of his mouth rose, and he turned his head to face Su Ling.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for your help. ”

"Well, it's okay, I said it, this is the Su family's territory, and others are not allowed to make trouble. As Su Ling spoke, her previous indifference to Lin Yun had disappeared, and was replaced by a faint smile.

In the face of Zhou Zhen's attitude, he is obviously much better than others.

Because, she still remembers, the boy who played with her when she was young was also so kind to herself.

But just five years ago, for some reason, the boy was seriously injured and was carried home unconscious, and when he woke up, it was as if he had changed his personality. Since then, strange language, behavior, and regressive strength......

In this way, the family also ordered her not to have any more contact with the boy. Since then, the boy has been almost closed until ......

Although I haven't had a relationship in the past few years, the feelings left by my childhood are a little lingering.

"Let me ask you a question, will you take the city exam?" asked Su Ling in a low voice.

"Okay, what's wrong?"

"Not much, although I don't know how strong you are, but I still want to remind you. Saying this, Su Lingqiao's face was smeared with a trace of solemnity: "That Lin Yun just now, his strength is only eight levels of quenching, inferior to me, but he has a very strong big brother."

"Lin Ying. ”
