Chapter 35: The King of Spiritual Herbs
Three days is so short in the practice, and the festival of ten thousand victories will soon arrive.
Li Mi's master and apprentice got into Hao Zhenren's exclusive car and drove all the way to the north along the Beihai Huanhu Highway.
The aura of Beihai is still very powerful, and after Li Mi whale sucked it, the surrounding spiritual energy briefly fell to the standard of the blessed land, but in one night, it had recovered as before.
This also made Li Mi let go of his heart, otherwise, the aura of the entire Beihai would not be able to withstand his spoiling for long!
At least when you are in the blessed land of Beihai, you don't have to worry about running out of ideas.
However, in order to improve the spiritual power of Laojun Mountain Dojo to the blessed land standard in the future, I don't know how much preaching I have to save.
The herding deer people are the aborigines of the vast ice fields in the north, extremely hardy, and their appearance is very different from that of Tianxia, and they are originally barbarians.
However, in the First Battle of Beihai two hundred and twenty-five years ago, the Deer Tribesmen were oppressed by the Rakshasas, and at the most critical moment, they helped the former champion Hou Yu to gain a firm foothold on the shore of the Beihai Sea and survived a cold winter.
When winter turned to spring, the northern expeditionary army, which had recuperated for a winter, defeated the Rakshasa army with the cooperation of the Mulu tribesmen and won one brilliant victory after another.
Since then, the herding deer tribe has become a minority in Tianxia, and there is a permanent fief of the herding deer tribe on the shore of Beihai Lake, which has continued to this day.
And Wansheng Festival is also the day when a new peace treaty was signed after the truce between Tianxia and Rakshasa and the border between the two countries was set.
The vast Arctic ice field is so cold that even in summer, it is very difficult for Tianxia people.
However, the deer herders are natural emissaries of ice, and their footprints extend from the North Sea to the Northern Ocean, herding Arctic reindeer, raising Arctic dogs, and being the most active collectors of spiritual plants in the Northern Plains.
At the annual Wansheng Festival, the Mulu people will hold a grand gathering to sell the spirit plants collected in the year to merchants from all over the world, and there are often treasures that fetch sky-high prices.
In the entire Tianxia territory, almost everyone who has the strength to eat the "pill" will almost never miss this grand event.
The number of registered martial artists in Tianxia has exceeded 10 million, and the pill market is undoubtedly the largest market, and the value created can be called terrifying, even if it is the threshold of entry, it is enough to make many rich people sigh.
The top bigwigs are naturally Tianxia Pharmaceutical, Danding Pharmaceutical and Liuli Pharmaceutical.
They are the industries of the state, the Taoist gate and the Buddhist gate, which is also the only one of all the industries that has overpowered the Buddhist gate.
At noon, we arrived at the capital of the Shepherd people - Spiegel City, the name naturally comes from the Beihai in summer, and it looks like a mirror from a distance, clear and translucent.
Half of the city is made up of deer herders dressed in traditional national costumes, and half are businessmen and tourists from all over the country.
Hao Zhenren took Li Mi all the way to the three-story building with the signboard of Danding Pharmaceutical, and then stopped.
At this year's Wansheng Festival, Chong Xuan Zhenren did not attend, but the head of the Danding faction, Chong and Taoist, came.
"I've seen Hao Zhenren, Tai Chi Zhenren!" Chong and Lao Dao are also over eighty years old, and they look very energetic: "Senior Brother Chong Xuan got two Dan prescriptions from Tai Chi Zhenren, and after returning to the mountain, he stayed in the alchemy room all day, saying that he would not come out. ”
After a simple exchange of greetings, Li Mi also knew the weight of this Wansheng Festival in the pill market.
By rough analogy, similar to the king of land in real estate, a powerful company, of course, will do everything to win, and it will improve its fame and prestige.
Especially when the cultivation reaches the realm of a martial arts grandmaster or even a martial arts grandmaster, the greater the demand for the elixirs cultivated by various rare spirits, and they are taken away by others.
At the top Lingzhi auction of the entire Wansheng Festival, now Liuli Pharmaceutical is becoming more and more aggressive, and has auctioned the most precious medicine king many times, after all, Buddhism is rich and rich, the technology is not enough, and the raw materials are made up, and finally the finished product of the pill is getting better and better, and the reputation of the Liuli Temple is gradually approaching the Danding faction, and even has a tendency to overtake.
In the cultivation of a martial artist, his own root bone comprehension qualification is very important, and the martial arts teacher is very important, but after the innate level, the effect of the pill becomes more and more significant.
At this year's Wansheng Festival, according to the news released in advance, this year's medicine king should be a 1,200-year-old spirit ginseng!
As for the age of the ginseng, it is also very easy to judge, if the infecting spirit grows for a hundred years, there will be a spirit pattern, this spirit ginseng is half a meter long, and there are twelve spirit patterns on its surface, and it is also the top medicine king in the Wansheng Festival in the past ten years.
Liuli Temple has long said that it will take down this medicine king at all costs, and it has raised astronomical funds for this purpose.
"Liuli Temple is said to use this 1,200-year-old ginseng as the main material to refine a divine pill to assist the great grandmaster's cultivation!" Chong and Lao Dao sighed: "The blowing is mysterious, and it is said to help Master Longguang get closer to the realm of heaven and man." ”
For example, today's seven great masters of Xia, in addition to the abbot of Leiyin Temple, Duzhen Zen Master, is the most famous Master Longguang, and the believers do not know how many mortals, which can be called the living Buddha.
Now in this Spiegel City, I have seen three or five Buddhist temples along the way, but I have not seen a Taoist temple, which shows the influence of Buddhism and is everywhere.
Obviously, Chong and Lao Dao did not have the confidence to bid for spiritual ginseng with Liuli Temple, especially after Liuli Temple played the name of refining the divine pill for Master Longguang, no one could ignore the existence of a great martial arts master, and he really didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.
In the Tianxia, the influence of Buddhism is better than that of Taoism by an order of magnitude, in addition to Tianxia, there are also two major religions and Buddhism, Yawei and Feathered Serpent, and the road of preaching in this world is a long way to go!
After chatting, Chong and Lao Dao sent a young Taoist priest to serve as a tour guide for Li Mi's master and apprentice to visit Der Spiegel City, while Hao Zhenren stayed behind to compare the auction catalogue and discuss the bidding target.
This Taoist priest is a false line, he is a grandchild of Chong and Lao Dao, he looks good, and he treats people like spring breeze and rain, a "Tai Chi real person", and he is also an uncle for the old cat and Izumo Chiyo.
The herding deer people do have a peculiarity, because they live in the Arctic ice field all the year round, their hair has turned white, their eyes are ice blue, their noses are high and their eyes are deep, they look handsome men and beautiful women, and their appearance is generally very high.
The Mulu people belong to a high-welfare society, and the income from the auction of spiritual plants on the Wansheng Festival every year is not only 30% handed over to the state, two components are given to the medicine collectors, and the remaining 50% is attributed to the public account, providing life, education and cultivation resources for all the people, and the entire group of Mulu people is less than one million so far, and the per capita welfare is very high.
Therefore, the proportion of warriors of the Mulu tribe is also the highest, reaching seventy percent, which can be called the whole people's martial arts.
This is also a kind of support for them to be able to come and go freely in the vast ice fields.
The most widely inherited martial art of the Mulu clan is called Arctic Fist, and the Arctic True Qi cultivated is somewhat similar to Zuo Lengzen's Cold Ice True Qi, with its own freezing special effects, which can also be regarded as a natural Xiaoice box.
Li Mi and his entourage followed the flow of people and walked along the most prosperous streets, where many Mulu people set up stalls along the streets to sell various carvings, handicrafts and snacks, and some sold spiritual plants on their own.
However, the value of the spiritual plant here cannot be guaranteed, and the price is naturally much cheaper, and there are always people who want to pick up the cheap, but in fact, it is the deer tribe who takes advantage of it in the end.
