Chapter Twenty-Six: The Herbal Turmoil
The one who sells satin bone grass is a middle-aged man, who cultivates in the late stage of Qi training, and looks like a casual cultivator in his clothes. At this time, he was selling by himself, and he didn't sell anything in the morning, and his face showed a rather anxious look. Tang Long and the three of them walked up to the big man and stood still.
"This Daoist brother, I don't know how to change your satin bone grass?" Tang Long said with a smile.
"One plant for three late-stage Qi cultivation pills, all three plants have to be given eight pills, but this brother wants to exchange it?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but be happy when he saw someone come up to ask.
"This, is it too expensive to have three pills on one strain? "Tang Long is not stupid, when he was in the sect, Tang Long went to the library to read books such as medicinal herbs, after all, he had to learn alchemy, how could he do it if he didn't understand alchemy materials. Although this Bone Forging Grass can refine the Bone Forging Pill that exercises the muscles and bones, due to some characteristics, the probability of becoming a pill is not very large, and it is very good for an alchemist to be able to refine three satin bone pills with ten bone forging grasses, that is to say, the rate of these three Bone Forging Grass in the hands of ordinary alchemists is only thirty percent. And although one Bone Forging Pill was much more expensive than an ordinary late-stage Qi cultivation pill, its value was not as high as eight late-stage pills. Tang Long will still calculate this account, it seems that it is really treacherous.
The middle-aged man showed an embarrassed look, in fact, he also knew that he wanted to be high, but now that he was about to break through the imperial qi, he was a casual cultivator, and he did not have the cultivation blessed land of those sects, so he could only use the pill as an auxiliary, so the lion opened his mouth once, and he didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person.
The middle-aged man's face was a little red and said: "That's this, I didn't expect the little brother to be a knowledgeable person, but it is indeed an urgent shortage of pills in the next place, otherwise how about six pills if the little brother sincerely wants?" The big man looked at Tang Long with some eagerness. Tang Long smiled, he had already seen that this big man was already in the realm of consummation in the late stage of qi training, and he was only one step away from being able to step into the realm of imperial qi, plus it was a casual cultivation, it was estimated that he might need the assistance of pills, but Yue Ziming on the side pulled down Tang Long's shirt slightly, the meaning was obvious. Don't buy it, it's too expensive. This action was seen by the middle-aged man, and he was a little inexplicably disappointed, originally thinking that Tang Long would refuse. But I saw Tang Long say:
"Okay, I want it, this is six Juyuan Dan. Put it away. Tang Long took out the pill and handed it to the middle-aged man.
Dahan took the pill and said with some gratitude: "Thank you little brother for your success, I am grateful, this is the Bone Forging Grass, please put it away." ”
Tang Long took the herbs and put them away, smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he didn't have much disgust with the sky-high asking price of this middle-aged man, this person was different from the profiteers in Lijiazhen who had been in contact with Lin Hai at the beginning. Tang Long could feel the urgency and truth in this person's eyes, since this was the case, why not help. He was about to leave, but he heard a voice from beside him.
"Senior brother, this is where satin grass is sold. "But I saw three other people coming over, two in the middle stage of Qi cultivation and one in the late stage of Qi training, all of them in light white robes, and the people in the middle stage on both sides looked ordinary, not to mention for the time being. The monk in the middle who was in the late stage of Qi cultivation was in his twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his unruly face made people have no good feelings. Seeing him, Tang Long suddenly remembered Wu Liang's kid. The person who spoke was the one next to this person.
"Senior brother is this, this is the person who sells satin bone grass, hey I said, what about your satin bone grass, my senior brother wants to buy it, don't you hurry up and bring it." The two of them came forward with the man in the middle. insisted on squeezing Tang Long and the three of them who were just about to leave aside. Tang Long didn't react, Yang Tian snorted coldly, and Yue Ziming showed displeasure, but when he saw the three of them dressed up, he hid back.
The middle-aged man saw that there were three more people, and seeing that this posture was not an ordinary Taoist, he immediately said: "Three, the forging bone grass has been sold in the next place, I'm really embarrassed, I don't know if the three of them can see anything else, and they will all be discounted by eighty." ”
"Bah, what can we like about these goods on your ground? We just need to forge bone grass, since you sold it to someone else, then go and chase it back and sell it to us, otherwise, hehe. The man on the left spoke wildly and said arrogantly.
The middle-aged man was slightly angry, but he knew that these three people were not easy to provoke, so he could only suppress his anger and be a little embarrassed. However, he didn't look at Tang Long, thinking that he was also a loyal and righteous person.
The middle-aged man said: "This, aren't the three of you embarrassed, how can you sell it to come back, which makes it how to do business in the future." ”
But I saw the middle person who was the leader of the three speak: "I don't think you know who I am, although this is the territory of the Qinghuo Gate, but even if the master of the Forging Dan Realm who is sitting here comes, he has to give me three points." Young Master Ben has taken a fancy to your Forging Bone Grass, and it's okay for you to take it out today, if you can't take it out..."Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice come out.
"What if you can't take it out?" it was Tang Long who spoke. In fact, Yue Ziming originally beckoned Tang Long to leave first, because he could see the origin of these three people, so he planned to persuade Tang Long to go first, and the province would have a conflict. But what kind of person is Tang Long. Although it doesn't have much to do with him, he has this temper, maybe it is because this kid looks like Wu Liang.
A voice came from the side. But it was Tang Long and the three, and the three in white turned around. The leader in the middle said: "Who are you, I think you should be from Qinghuomen, hmph, didn't you buy the satin bone grass or stand out for others?"
The young man looked at Tang Long and the others with disdain, although these three were all in the late stage of Qi cultivation, but he didn't pay attention to it, this may be a common problem of Brother Gongzi.
Tang Long smiled without being angry and said, "It was I who bought the Bone Forging Grass, I think you should understand the first-come-first-served gift, why is it difficult for others." The middle-aged man next to him looked apologetic and grateful when he saw Tang Long speak.
"Yo, first come, first come, do you know who I am?" said the young man.
Since Tang Long dared to speak, he naturally didn't care who he was, not to mention that this was the Fang City of Qinghuomen, and he was a disciple of Qinghuomen, no matter what happened in the door, no one dared to do anything to him.
I saw Tang Long say: "Who are you, do I need to care?" I just want to tell you that this is the territory of the Qinghuo Gate, and I have already bought the Bone Forging Grass, so it's better not to make trouble here. ”
"Hmph, what about your Qinghuo Sect's territory, I am a personal disciple of the Qingyun Sect's realm master, since you are a disciple of the Qinghuo Sect, as long as you are trading the Bone Forging Grass with me, then I won't be embarrassed by you, how about it?" The young man's face was undoubtedly unruly, especially the moment he reported his name, when he wanted to come to Tang Long and hear his identity, he would definitely obediently hand over the Bone Forging Grass.
"Oh, then I think you'd better embarrass me. I won't give it to you. ”
"You—" The young man was choked up and speechless. But he saw the young man in the middle of Qi cultivation on the right hand side of the young man and said, "Boy, do you know who you are talking to, the Qinghuo Sect is something you can offend." Acquaintances hand it over obediently, otherwise"
"Otherwise, what will happen, Qingyun Sect is very good, this is not your Qingyun Sect. The Qinghuo Gate is not something you can humiliate casually. Tang Long was a little angry, and said impatiently, why are there such bullying lords everywhere, and they happen to let themselves catch up.
saw the three people on the other side laughing, attracting the attention of people nearby. The young man at the head said: "Joke, you Qinghuo Sect dare to compare with my Qingyun Sect, a small force that does not enter the stream. This is very arrogant, but no one refutes it. Tang Long was a little confused, so, it was also a small force, how could he seem to hear him say this, Qinghuo Sect and Qingyun Sect were not on the same level.
At this time, he saw Yue Ziming walk out and said to the three of them: "The three of you are invited, this Senior Brother Tang is the junior of the elders of my sect realm, and I hope that the three of them will not make trouble, otherwise it will be difficult to solve something if there is really something." ”
The young man on the opposite side was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this kid to have such a backer, no wonder he dared to argue with himself, but as a junior of the realm master, how could he not know the gap between Qinghuomen and Qingyun Sect. However, although the young man is a little unruly, he is not stupid, if he is an ordinary disciple on the other side, it is just that, but there are still some generations of scenery.
But I saw the young man say, "Hmph, I'll let you go today." Let's go!"
Yue Ziming was a little relieved to see the three of them leave, and suddenly said to Tang Long and the others, "Let's go too." ”
Tang Long originally had something to ask, but this place was not the place to speak, and then the three of them walked out. After this incident, the three of them did not have the intention of wandering around, and after a little discussion, they left Fang City and prepared to return to the mountain gate.
On the way, Tang Long asked what he was thinking.
Tang Long said: "Senior Brother Yue, isn't this Qingyun Sect a small force like the Qinghuo Sect, but the three of them are so arrogant that they don't take those three people seriously, and the law enforcement disciples of Fang City have not come out to stop them, is there any story here?"
Yue Ziming saw that there were only three senior brothers left, so he said to Tang Long: "I thought you knew about this, so I'll tell you the reason." ”
It turned out that in the land of Yunzhou, there were three major sects, and these three sects belonged to the top forces, controlling a large number of cultivation resources in Yunzhou, and no one had shaken them for thousands of years. And there is also not peace between states, and some friction often breaks out. In addition to the three major sects, the rest of the Yunzhou forces are uneven, and the state is also a puddle of troubled water, so the three major sects have joined forces to make a provision, that is, to divide the twelve medium-sized forces and the thirty-six small forces, a total of forty-eight small and medium-sized forces. In fact, there are so many small and medium-sized forces in Yunzhou, especially small forces. However, only these forty-eight sects are recognized by the three major sects. Of course, these forty-eight sects also have benefits, such as the support of the three major sects. Every once in a while, the three major sects will allocate some resources to the twelve medium-sized forces, and the medium-sized forces will allocate some to the thirty-six small forces. For example, if some large Yuanshi veins are found in the three major sects, they will be distributed proportionally to the forty-eight forces below. This can not only calm the chaotic state in Yunzhou, but also greatly enhance the strength of Yunzhou, after all, the snake can't have a head, and it can't walk without a body and a tail. Of course, the three major sects are not of the same mind, and there are four medium-sized forces under each sect.
It is said that at that time, in order to compete for these forty-eight forces, the territory of Yunzhou was full of blood. There were countless dead Daoists, and in the end, the dust settled on forty-eight forces, and Qingyun Sect was one of the thirty-six small forces. And this has also caused a gap in the strength of the sects in Yunzhou, the forty-eight forces are getting stronger and stronger, and the other forces can only rely on themselves to develop, just like the Qinghuomen, which was established for more than two thousand years, while the Qingyun Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years. None of the resources and connections are directly proportional. So the gap will get bigger and bigger. Of course, it does not mean that there is nothing to compete with except for these forty-eight forces. After all, the three major sects also have their own selfish intentions in this way, and they are originally increasing the strength of their own sects. There are also many family sects that are not among them, but their strength is not bad at all.
After listening to this, Tang Long understood why the Qingyun Sect didn't look down on the Qinghuo Sect at all, it was not a grade at all!
