Khotanfeng City, the capital of Chengdu, is a rich and prosperous place in Dasheng Country, with a flow of people, noisy cars and horses, and rows of shops and restaurants.

Xue Tong was born in a wild farmer's family, and often sold firewood in Shannan Town in his early years, and only went to Pingshan and Donglai towns when he entered Yunxiao Sect, and the only big city he entered was Jiayuan Qinggao Mansion in Jiayuan Prefecture.

The city of Khotan is several times more prosperous than Gyeonggao, and as one of the few large cities in the Dasheng Kingdom, the population of Khotan Feng exceeds 200,000.

Xue Tong's state of mind at the moment was completely different from the past, he was ready to cultivate with peace of mind for a few years, incognito, and not get involved in any right and wrong.

He bought a detailed map of Khotan Fengcheng, checked it in the inn for a day, searched for it according to the map, and came to Yunxu Valley in the western suburbs.

Yunxu Valley, a spiritual vein passes through the underground, the spiritual energy seeps out of the rock mass, the thick spiritual energy accumulates over the years, and does not disperse for a long time, there are hundreds of cultivation rooms built on the slopes of the valley for people to rent, and the number of spiritual springs is based on the quality of the price.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, looked at Xue Tong's dress, and said politely: "The ordinary cultivation room is five yuan a day, the medium one is ten yuan, and the high-level one is thirty, there are a lot of tenants these days, and there are not many rooms left."

"Brother Dao Lao, the advanced cultivation room will be rented for a few days, and how long will it last."

"The rent starts at one month, and the maximum rent is two years."

"That's good, the younger brother rents for two years, and the price of the annual package should be cheaper." Xue Tong asked.

"Ten percent discount on annual rent, erase the fraction in two years, and benefit 19,000 spirit stones, dare to ask the name of the Taoist friend, who is the person's name, and the store will register it." When the shopkeeper saw the big business coming to the door, his words became polite.

"Oh, contemptible Li Jincheng, from Liangzhou"

Xue Tongxin took a common pseudonym.

The facilities in the cultivation room are readily available, and the three springs go straight to the ground, which slowly leads out the aura, and this natural rock crevice-type aura passage is called the spring.

The aura in the advanced cultivation room is strong, even compared to the Wei Geng Cave Mansion in Xiaodang Mountain, it is not far behind.

Xue Tong has been tired of dealing with various tasks over the years, and he has not had enough time to meditate and cultivate, but now everything is in place, and the timing is good.

He swallowed a Dao Source Pill and activated the Three-Element Technique.

……

There are no years of cultivation, and two years have passed.

Xue Tong's martial arts disciple's law sea has risen to ninety percent, and the refined and purified mana is not what it used to be, the purity and explosiveness have doubled, the power of the spell martial arts has increased greatly, and the activation time has been shortened by half.

The Thunder Burst Bead jumped to the sixth layer, and the Rock Shield Technique was suspended due to the existence of the Kuishou Shield and the Guardian Mountain Shield, and the light and dexterous Holy Light Law Cover was refined to the fifth layer, forming three close protections with the body protection light curtain and the fish scale armor.

The "Rock Hammer Technique" left by Lu Yangzi Xue Tong liked it very much, refining to the fifth layer, and the primary Fire Cloud Technique had been completed in the volcanic cave, and instead refined the Nine Curved Flames required for refining the alchemy to the second layer.

Xue Tong's auxiliary corrosion technique is close to perfection, even if a martial artist in the early and middle days of the day after tomorrow is not careful, he may be hit, resulting in a great reduction in force.

The Devil's Fist is refined to the fifth layer, the Flood Finger is refined to the third layer, the Nine Kills are refined, and the last move is called "Ten Directions Have No Life".

In the future, the mana brute force will increase, and the Nine Kills will also be able to rise.

Xue Tong's spells and martial arts flew in, in addition to the effect of the acquired pills such as Zhaoji Dan and Daoyuan Pill, it was also because he had successively consumed more than seventy high-grade spirit stones in the storage ring to quickly recover mana and improve refining speed.

Spells and martial arts need to be practiced repeatedly, and a large amount of mana is consumed in the process, which is supplemented by the spiritual power of spirit stones, which has a great effect on speeding up cultivation.

Xue Tong would not fall behind the cultivation of the Bone True Magic Technique, with the help of the medicinal power of the Dragon Elephant Golden Saint Pill, although the cultivation of the Bone Technique was not as fast as the spell, it was also refined into three sections, approaching the level of four and a half layers.

Due to the indoor venue, the performance of the Iris Shadow Technique was restricted, and the cultivation progress was slow and still stopped at the sixth floor, Xue Tong planned to end the lease period and practice again in another place.

Xue Tong has changed the Yang Yuan Lu three times before and after, and has been upgraded to a two-level yaksha bone puppet, completely consolidating his cultivation, often sitting in a corner of the stone room, holding the spirit stone in his claws to refine his mana.

The bone puppet's Chimang Knife was replaced by the Three-Ring Phoenix Tail Knife, the Phoenix Tail Knife was originally owned by Gao Hong of the Blood Sword Sect, and it was a primary-grade magic weapon, which was a big grade higher than the ordinary Chimang Knife.

After many years, with Xue Tong's powerful divine infusion, the cultivation of spiritual liquid spirit stones at any cost, and the strange fate of the volcanic fire spirit, the strength of the bone golem has finally reached the level of being alone, and the opponents of ordinary martial artists in the later stage can hardly match it.

Xue Tong tried to awaken the gray dot of Zhihai, but even though his seven-layer divine fiery technique was refined for four more sections, the gray dot was still silent, no longer stretching out the silver filament as in the past, absorbing spiritual power, but its color changed slightly, and the luster increased and brightened.

……

At the end of the two years, the stone gate was removed, and Xue Tong walked out of the cultivation room, cultivating to a great progress and full of energy.

The shopkeeper stammered: "Li Daoyou is radiant, congratulations, how is the advanced refining room of our store?" Not bad, right? ”

"It's good, it's good." Xue Tong threw an orange medium-grade spirit stone to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you Daochang Li for the reward, welcome to come again."

Xue Tong secretly laughed, "It's impossible for Li Jincheng to come, haha." ”

He changed his appearance in a no-man's land and changed his name to Yang Shijie.

……

Xue Tong bought a small courtyard in Khotanfeng City, drawing talismans and practicing kite shadow art every day, the courtyard is located in an ordinary block, in a big city like Khotanfeng, no one will notice that he is in his thirties, dressed and has no characteristics.

A few months later, on his way to the talisman shop to buy talisman paper, Xue noticed that there were more mules and horses on the street, and many laymen and martial arts cultivators who seemed to be different places appeared in Khotanfeng.

He walked into the tavern, ordered the wine, and started a conversation with Xiao Er.

"Xiao Er, why are there so many people in the city, big bags and small bags, mules and horses, and they look very busy."

"Don't you know? Half a month later, there is the medicinal herb fair, people from all over the world gather in Khotanfeng, and the best day of the store's business comes. ”

"Hehe, Yang is passing through here, the situation is not familiar, in addition to the trade of medicinal materials, will there be any other transactions in Khotanfeng City?"

"Autumn medicinal herb fair, spring market, and irregular auctions, exchange meetings, Khotan merchants gather, business all year round..."

The neighing of the fiery horses interrupted the chatty little two, and ten unusually handsome Chiji pulled five luxurious carriages past, rampage and almost knocked down passers-by.

"Hey, the people of Que Xian Palace, what are they doing here?" Xiao Er was surprised.

"yes, what are they doing here, strange!" Xue Tong didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he took advantage of the situation.

"Khotan Feng is the territory of Zhanxing Pavilion, where the embassy is located, and the Que Immortal Palace is swaggering, do you want to sell precious medicinal materials?" The shopkeeper has lived in Khotanfeng for a long time, and he knows very well about the affairs of the two worlds.

"Maybe I deliberately made a big noise to attract the attention of Zhanxing Pavilion." Xue Tong put on a sophisticated posture and pretended to be pretending.

"Well, it's possible that the Taoist said." Xiao Er nodded.

……

Xue Tong originally planned to buy a refining tripod and start refining in a few months, but the medicinal herb trade was close at hand, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Three figures quickly appeared in the sea, Zhan Tiansheng, Zhan Yi, and Min Yifang.

"The Zhan brothers and sisters are from Liangzhou, adjacent to Chengzhou, and they have traveled thousands of miles to Pingshan to grow medicine, and I don't know how they have been doing these years."

Xue Tong only knew that alchemy was similar to a refining tool, which required a lot of practice, which was time-consuming and costly, and Dan masters often started by planting elixirs and passed through the stage of huge consumption in the early days.

But planting elixir is also not easy, the initial stage is basically a loss-making transaction, spending money to buy young plants and seeds, hard cultivation not to mention, the first year of the increase in value is not much, need to wait for the third year of the elixir price doubled, there is a profit.

The capital is pressed for three years, which is too long, and once there is a slight misfortune in the middle, the hope of making money will come to naught, which is why the Zhan brothers and sisters have lived so hard.

Refining a grade-grade elixir usually requires at least 30 years of medicinal plants, and the young plants or seeds are far from quenching their thirst, so the common solutions are to plant them early, cultivate the medicinal plants collected in the wild to increase the year, or ripen them with expensive spiritual liquid.

Xue Tong's eyes rolled and he made up his mind.

He went to the largest pharmacy in Khotan and bought three things.

"100 Prescriptions for Pills" is a refining prescription of nearly 100 kinds of non-pins and first-grade pills; "The Heart Sutra of Plant Medicine" is a method of cultivating common seeds and medicinal plants; "Huang Gong Yao Ding" is an illegal device-grade medicine tripod, refining three products and below pills.

He didn't do it endlessly, and bought a small black iron refining tripod in the refining shop, which was used in the past Guanxiu Peak refining utensils.

These are quite common things, Rao is so, and it also cost Xue Tong nearly 20,000 spirit stones, he really realized at this moment, like his brother Zixiong, the spirit stones are spent on taking pills and making magic weapons, how difficult it is to learn alchemy refining tools.

……

The Medicinal Materials Fair was grandly opened and lasted for three days.

The market was packed, and the liveliness was even greater than that of Donglaifang City, and Xue Tong's demand was very common, with young seeds and three-year elixirs of common elixirs.

He made a huge purchase, six in and six out, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and his appearance and voice ranged from thirty to fifty years old.

Xue Tong returned with a full load, costing 160,000 yuan.

The elixir needs to be planted in the spiritual field, but this is easy for Xue Tong, he has a huge storage ring space, moved the spiritual soil, and soon opened up acres of spiritual field in the ring.

Xue Tong was equipped with a wooden frame and built into five layers, and thousands of seedlings and seeds were scattered in between.

Xue Tong spent a lot of money, and when everything was arranged, he couldn't help but sigh, "If you have money, you don't spend it, if you miss this village, you won't have this store!"

He missed the "this village" where the True Disciple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion randomly selected the exercises, and the "this shop" of alchemy was gone.

Danshu is not as good as plant medicine, the market is rare and mostly primary techniques, and high-level alchemy has become Xue Tong's urgent need.

He remembered the news revealed by the seller when he bought at the fair.

"I've heard that a batch of elixir spirit herbs have appeared in the world recently, and it is very likely that they came from Master Qualcomm, and I am not sure if the immortal envoy of the Que Immortal Palace is here for this."

"There's an auction tonight."

……

Xue Tong pondered: "Forget the spirit grass, the eight characters of alchemy have not been skimmed yet; Pills? It's impossible to sell Tiancheng Dan; Danshu? I haven't heard of auctioning martial arts. ”

"After all, it's hard to say if you really want to buy something."

He recalled the Purple Cloud Exchange Meeting in Donglai Town, and the old story of getting spiritual materials.
