Chapter 13 Black Market Trading
Many mercenaries had despair on their faces, and they knew very well in their hearts that Wolf City was not far away, but it was simply difficult to get out.
The frightening wind had no choice but to calm everyone down, and only began to continue on the road when the injuries on these people were almost healed.
Xiao Bai would hide in the surrounding woods every night to look for the fierce beast Neidan, and many times he was bumped into by the frightened wind, but he didn't stop it. Sometimes I will go with it to find some fierce beasts with strong fighting spirits.
In the evening, he took out the alchemy book that he had bought from a merchant for a lot of money, and although the contents of the book were detailed, there were many places that were not clearly recorded. He's just a headless fool, so there's nothing to gain.
He always carried the pill furnace for refining pills, and the injuries of those mercenaries could not be recovered in a day or two. He had more time to learn how to refine the elixir. No real alchemist knows, and he can only figure out the truth by himself. To understand the essence of the truth in alchemy, one must rely on comprehension and inspiration. Now for the sake of these mercenaries, he has been anxious and uneasy, how can he think about these things quietly.
I tried many times, but I failed, and I wasted a lot of herbs, which were all exchanged for my life, and they were all silver for nothing.
The woods were eerily quiet, with no birdsong or the crisp sound of running water. He suddenly remembered Yumei, Xiaoyu, and his mother who were still at home, and he didn't know what happened to them now. If you drag on here for an extra day, you will have to worry a little more.
The alchemy knows that it lies in the tranquility of the heart. To refine a good elixir, it must be at the right time, the right place, and the so-called heavenly time is the night of the full moon, and the aura between heaven and earth is active on the night of the full moon, and it can absorb more spiritual energy. The location is favorable, and the air must be dry and moist in the refining place, so that the herbs can be blended with each other. And the people who refine should be single-minded.
The location is good, the air is dry and humid, and his eyes suddenly lit up, since he started studying alchemy, he has not succeeded once, and it may be because he has not chosen a good place for refining. There is no strong sunlight all year round, and there are many woods, so there is a lot of moisture in the air. In that case, find a dry place to try it yourself.
After searching for a long time, I found a place full of gravel, strong sunlight, and open terrain. He was very satisfied with this.
Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the herbs on his body into the Dan furnace, and his divine sense carefully fell into it, and then continuously injected the battle qi on his body into it, and the hot fire light illuminated his cheeks. Time kept passing, and in the blink of an eye, a stick of incense passed. With a loud bang, three pills were suspended on the pill furnace, this was the most critical moment, there was a trace of distraction, these pills were costly, and many times he failed when he arrived here.
His forehead was covered with beads of sweat that kept running down his cheeks. 'Bang', the three hot pills fell into the palm of his hand, his face was full of surprise, since one of them was successful, although it looked uneven and extremely ugly, but he was still full of surprise, let out a long breath, and finally succeeded, it really paid off, and his time in the past few days was not wasted.
With a smile on his face, he played with the elixir in his palm, the aura on it was not very dense, but it was still a real elixir.
The first pill he refined in his life was very memorable, and he carefully put it into the bag ring, the bag ring, this is a name he gave to this ring, although it is not so good, but it can be regarded as having a name of his own.
After refining the first one, of course, he wanted to refine the second one, and when he refined the second time, he couldn't believe that since none of them succeeded. He didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to give up, and began to refine again, this time, he got back the feeling he had before, since he had refined two.
The sun was gradually setting, and the blood-red remnant sun hung above the peaks.
Now he is exhausted, covered with sticky sweat, and he hasn't taken a comfortable bath for a long time. After refining for a day, he succeeded in more than a dozen pills, this pill is the lowest level pill, but he is already very satisfied, in Wolf City, the alchemist is very rare, the pill is also extremely precious, and the price of these pills he refines is not cheap.
This kind of elixir, called the Divine Pill, can remove all kinds of diseases and improve cultivation. It is a good medicine for internal injuries, as long as you continue to refine it tomorrow, you can heal the internal injuries on the bodies of these mercenaries, and then it will only take half a day to get out of here and return to Wolf City.
When he returned to the tent, the mercenaries looked at him with strange eyes, but no one spoke.
Niu Er couldn't help it, so he had to stand up with a smile, and said respectfully to the wind, "We have already discussed, it is not a way to drag it out like this, it is better to let the least injured person go first, as for those who are seriously injured, stay here, and when the injury is healed, as long as it will be wolf city again."
"No, there are so many beasts here, staying here is tantamount to death, and I promised you that I would bring you back alive. This matter is not to be mentioned again. Storm suddenly spoke.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped talking.
With a frightening palm, seventeen Hui Shen Dan appeared in his hand, "This is Hui Shen Dan, give it to the most seriously injured, don't be disappointed if you don't get it, now the herbs on my body are insufficient, and when I find enough pills, I will naturally refine them, and everyone will have them at that time." ”
Huishen Dan, everyone's faces were full of surprise. They didn't believe that Storm would be an alchemist, and that he would be able to refine so many Hui Shen Pills. Hui Shen Dan is also available in the major medicine halls in Wolf City, but the price is extremely high, for these mercenaries, the money of a Hui Shen Pill is enough for a year's expenses in their family. Who would spend so much money on something so valuable.
Their eyes were full of greed and fiery for the Hui Shen Pill, and they carefully held the Hui Shen Dan, reluctant to swallow it.
The moment they swallowed, they all rolled on the ground in pain, and kept letting out bursts of screams.
Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the frightened wind, and the frightened face was full of cold sweat, what is going on, could it be that there is something wrong with this elixir, it is impossible, I am looking for the herbs according to the instructions in the book.
The screams of pain soon stopped, the wounds on their bodies were slowly disappearing, and the battle qi on their bodies was slowly recovering. It looks like some of them are on the move.
Everyone was full of surprise, a little unable to believe their eyes, even the frightening wind was a little incredulous, since the elixir he had refined was so powerful. No wonder it took me so long to succeed.
In fact, what he didn't know was that it was very difficult for an ordinary alchemist to refine an elixir, and it was very difficult to refine a pill from a person who didn't know anything about alchemy, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, it was absolutely impossible to refine it.
The alchemist is the same as the cultivation of battle qi, they are all divided into levels, and he is now a real alchemist, but the level is a low level among the alchemists, but this is enough.
Some of these mercenaries have been successfully promoted, the highest has reached the middle stage of the war division, and those who have not been promoted have also slightly touched the next level. As long as you practice hard, you can advance.
The other mercenaries who didn't get the Huishen Pill had envy on their faces, hoping that they were the ones who were seriously injured.
Shocking Wind smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry if you don't get the Divine Pill, what I said will definitely be done." ”
By the second day, he had already refined more than thirty Huishen Pills, and the remaining mercenaries had also advanced a lot. He gave the rest to Xiaobai, and when he was collecting medicine, Xiaobai made a lot of effort to give it to him. The little white wolfed down all the rest of the rest, like a snack. The mercenaries around him felt distressed for a while, and it was a pity that such a valuable elixir was given to it.
In their hearts, they have more respect for the frightening wind.
All the mercenaries had fully recovered from their injuries, and half a day later, they appeared outside the gates of the Wolf City. Their faces were full of joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, and when they left, they didn't think they would come back alive. But all this is no longer important.
Frightened with excitement on his face, after two months, he finally came back.
When he returned to the courtyard, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, which was simply two different from when he left, and now the courtyard is not only neat and orderly, but also on the gate, there is a huge plaque, which is carved with two golden characters of "Dragon Mansion", which looks very magnificent.
Soon, the frightened mother, as well as Xiaoyu, Yumei, and Uncle Wang all ran out. When they saw the frightened wind, they were all quiet in the courtyard.
"Feng'er, you're finally back, the pediatrician is worried about dying as a mother. Liu hugged the frightening wind and became painful.
Uncle Wang hurriedly stopped, "Madam, the young master is back now, he should be happy!"
Liu smiled and wiped away his tears, then took the hand of the frightened wind and said, "What your Uncle Wang said is right, it's good for you to come back, now I'll make two of your favorite dishes and get together." ”
Shocking Wind nodded, and his gaze fell on Yumei's body, "Why don't you also go and help, those mercenaries will work hard with me, let them taste it too." ”
Yumei took his hand, wanting to say something but didn't say it.
When Uncle Wang heard this, he patted his chest, "We can't do the cooking, so I'll go sell some good wine and come back." ”
Suddenly, a group of good-looking maids walked out with a smile. Frightened Wind's face was full of doubt, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are they, and why are they here?"
Xiaoyu said proudly, "Young master, you won't forget, right! They are snake girls!"
There was a slight joy on the face of the frightened wind, and he couldn't imagine that since the snake girl he bought with the thousand taels of silver he bought at the beginning had grown so big in a blink of an eye, it seemed that he had really made money, if the owner of the pharmacy knew that these were the snake girls he sold to him at the beginning, he would definitely regret his intestines.
Yumei watched the frightened gaze that kept rolling on those snake girls, couldn't help but pull the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "If you dare to think nonsense, I will never spare you." ”
Shocking Wind smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "With you, even if you lend me ten guts, you won't dare!"
Yumei smiled with satisfaction, "In order not to let the Dragon Mansion be deserted, I let them act as maids here." You're going to be reluctant!"
I didn't expect Yumei's ability to be really extraordinary, with her, I was a lot more relaxed, and I smiled, "How could I be reluctant? When I come back, I will treat you well. ”
Yumei's face turned red, and then she whispered, "I don't know how to be ashamed of saying this in front of so many people." ”
The wind was stunned, strange when she was with herself, but she didn't see her have such an expression, and when she was strange, she saw those snake girls behind her. No wonder she said that.
Shocking Wind glanced at Niu Er, who had been following behind him, and said, "You go and call all the mercenaries, and say that I have something to say to them." ”
Niu Er nodded, and then walked away respectfully. The mercenaries were soon called in.
Frightened Wind straightened his clothes, and then said loudly, "I have called you here to discuss a matter with you. I know that it is not easy for you to be mercenaries, and you do not have a regular income to support your family. Now I still have some guards here, if you want to stay, I don't force you to do so, take your money, and you can leave now. ”
There was a quiet period below, and soon some people began to be tempted, what the wind just said just happened to their hearts, it is indeed not easy to be a mercenary, not only is the income unstable, but also never come out. This is an unprecedented opportunity, and we will certainly not let it go. But there are also some who want to go.
Out of those who were leaving, there were forty mercenaries left. It was a bit more than he expected, he didn't expect so many people to want to stay.
He glanced at the mercenaries, and then said, "Your status is so low, it's not that you don't have the ability, but you don't have a chance, and now I will give you this opportunity." Also, the people who want to talk to me must be able to endure hardship. Now I say it again, like leaving now, leaving now. ”
The crowd fell silent, and no one wanted to let go of this opportunity.
Everyone has their own strengths, and if you want to use these people to the best of your ability, you must use them according to their talents. Not everyone who is a mercenary is good at hunting, but there are others who are good at hunting.
It's like Niu Er, although Xiu Wei is not the best in this group of people, but he has an elf in his mind, and now there is a lack of such people in the Dragon Mansion.
There are more people in the Dragon Mansion, but they are still in order, these are all the credit of Yumei, only she is good at dealing with such things.
The next day, he began training the mercenaries. If the Dragon Mansion wants to have a strong strength, it must start from them.
Cultivation is essential, on the basis of cultivation, some training methods are added, such as speed, as long as there is amazing speed, you can also have an advantage in front of the strong battle spirit, in many cases, it is because of the slow speed that you will die in the hands of others. It is also very important to train vigilance, and high alertness can detect the opponent's motivation at the first time, prepare at the first time, and take advantage.
These mercenaries are all ordinary cultivators, unlike those snake girls, who are born with sensitive vigilance and fast body skills. So, those snake women are suitable to be killers. When I thought of the killers, I was shocked, these snake girls can not only play the role of maids in the Dragon Mansion, but also secretly train them into a group of killers with all their strength, even if it is the four major families of Wolf City, they don't have to pay attention to it at that time. As for the people of Guigu, they haven't really fought against them, and they don't know how strong they are.
Now he found that he was the busy man of the Dragon Mansion, training these mercenaries during the day, and cultivating and alchemizing at night. There is simply no extra time.
When he told Yumei about the construction of the auction hall, Yumei was happy, "You are really a person with a surname in a hurry, do you know that opening an auction hall is not an easy thing, and if you don't make money at that time, you won't regret it." ”
Puzzled, he asked, "Why?"
Yumei said proudly, "You asked me to the right person." If you want to open an auction hall, you must first have customers, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, even if you have good things, if no one patronizes them, it is not just a loss or a profit. ”
Shocking looked at her gratefully, "What should I do then?
Yumei smiled charmingly, "It's not impossible, it's just a little dangerous." I heard that Wolf City will set up a ring every year, what is it called a championship. If you can make some achievements, even if you don't get the first place, grab a top 10 place, and you won't have to worry about no business when you open this auction hall. ”
Shocking Wind clapped his hands and laughed, "It's really up to you to come up with this way, okay, I'll go sign up." ”
Yumei grabbed her and said with a smile, "What are you busy with?" There are still three months to go, if you really want to go, just concentrate on cultivating, although Wolf City is only a small city, but among the younger generation, the cultivation is higher than yours, and you can easily catch a handful. ”
The frightening wind smiled, then walked over to look left and right, and saw that there was no one, so he closed the door.
Yumei's face was full of doubts, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly felt her body tighten, and her whole body was numb. At first, she continued to struggle in the arms of the frightened wind, for fear of being seen again like the previous times. But gradually it calmed down, and it continued to cater to the frightening wind. Her whole body was soft and boneless, and she could withstand such a temptation, and for a while, the spring breeze filled the house, and she was slightly panting.
When he got up the next day, he doubled his spirits and began another day of hard training, those big men were all mercenaries, and they could still bear such hardships. Whether it's windy or rainy, they all persevere. But the more time passes, the more people can't stand it. For the sake of immediate benefits, they still persevered, because the frightening wind promised them that he would give each of them a Huishen Pill every month. This kind of treatment can't be found even with a lantern.
In order to fight in the ring, he had to put the alchemy matter aside, and the most important thing in front of him was that he could stand out among all the young people in Wolf City after three months, and then he could have a place in Wolf City without relying on the Long family.
On this day, I saw a long-lost figure on the street of Wolf City. He came out this time for a purpose, the population of the Dragon Mansion has increased, and the expenses are really a bit large, but fortunately, when he went to find the Elixir Valley, he collected a large number of murderer Neidan, and once he sold it, he would have a lot of income.
The black market in Wolf City is available to everyone and strange things. The reason why Shocking Wind didn't want to take these fierce beasts' Nedan to other places to sell was because he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, and the eyeliner of the major families was all over the wolf city, and if they knew about it, I was afraid that it would be a lot of trouble.
After entering the black market, Storm stopped in a place that looked like a restaurant, and just walked in, suddenly several powerful divine senses locked on his body. He didn't care, because this is a black market, and it is not uncommon for black to eat black.
A hunchbacked old man suddenly walked over with a smile, and this smile looked like a sly smile in the eyes of the frightened wind, which made people feel creepy. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be able to stand it a long time ago.
"You're not from the black market. The hoarse ghostly voice of the hunchbacked old man suddenly rang out.
The frightened gaze fell on him, this old guy's strength is not weak, at least he is also the peak cultivation of the battle master.
"I'm buying some ...... for the beast Neidan. Before the frightening words were finished, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the hunchbacked old man's face, and a hoarse voice sounded again, "You are an alchemist? You don't have to be surprised, every alchemist will have a strange aura on his body. You are different from the alchemist who was treated, ordinary alchemists refine medicine later, but you are not only an alchemist, but also a cultivator. ”
"How do you know?" asked Storm.
The hunchbacked old man laughed, "I've seen a lot of alchemists, and I know the aura of the alchemists. Say, what do you need to sell?"
Like a frightening palm, he took out a fierce beast's inner dan, "This is what I want to buy, if you can pay a high price, I will sell you more." ”
The hunchbacked old man's face was full of surprise, and then he frowned, "Don't you know the rules of Wolf City, selling such things to the people of our ghost city, but they will kill their heads." ”
Shocking Wind laughed, "The rules of Wolf City? Haha! To be honest, I need money right now, and at this time, the rules of Wolf City are a fart. ”
The hunchbacked old man glanced at him intentionally, and then smiled weirdly, "I like your surname, say it! How many do you have?"
"Fifty!"
The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Okay, five thousand taels!"
Shocking Wind suddenly laughed, "This is not an ordinary fierce beast Neidan, twenty thousand taels, a lot of words, if you don't want to buy it, I'll leave now, I believe that in this ghost market, there are many people who need this thing." ”
Seeing that he had no intention of giving in, the hunchbacked old man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you win." After speaking, he placed a bag of silver in front of the frightened wind, "You dot." After that, I won't admit it. ”
The frightened wind glanced at the white silver, twenty thousand taels, a lot of money.
Just as the frightening wind put the silver in the bag ring and was about to leave, suddenly a woman appeared in front of him, this woman was extremely handsome and had a bewitching figure. Looking at her cultivation and arrogance on her face, she is definitely not a master to be messed with.
Since and Yumei ............ After that, when I met a beautiful woman, I couldn't help but go up and talk to her. When he met such a beautiful woman, of course he would not let it go. walked straight to the woman, and said with a smile, "The girl is here to find Xiaosheng." ”
The woman's face was stunned for a moment, and then she sneered, "This girl is the woman of the city lord of Wolf City, I am performing official duties now, if I don't get out of the way, I will not be polite to you." ”
When the hunchbacked old man in the back heard that it was the daughter of the city lord, a trace of fear flashed on his face, and he disappeared behind the frightening wind in a blink of an eye.
Shocking Wind smiled all over his face, "It turns out that you are the daughter of the city lord, and you have admired the name for a long time." ”
When the woman saw that the hunchbacked old man was gone, she looked at the frightening wind with anger on her face, "Say, are you in a gang?" He's a wanted criminal in Wolf City, and since you want to stand up for him, that's fine. After speaking, he waved to the two big men behind him and said, "You two take him away." ”
That man is a wanted criminal, no wonder he bought his own fierce beast Neidan so easily. The frightening wind smiled, and then pointed behind the woman, "Isn't he somewhere?"
The woman turned around and saw that there was no one, so she knew that she had been fooled, and when she turned around, there was no longer a frightened figure. The woman's beautiful face was full of murderous aura, "If I catch you, I have to skin you." ”
The terrain of the ghost city is complicated, and they can chase the frightening wind so easily.
As soon as he returned to the Dragon Mansion, a maid dressed as a snake girl walked in, "Young Master, Yang Zhutou is here!"
What is he here for? Is it for the sake of the woman, it won't be so soon!
Yang Zhutou also sat unceremoniously in front of the frightening wind, his eyes kept looking at the snake girl beside him, and the frightening wind coughed dryly, and he came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be a romantic character, even the maid is so beautiful." Aren't you going to make Madame jealous?"
When the storm saw him like this, he understood that he had not come for that thing.
Yang Zhutou didn't answer when he saw the frightened wind, so he said on the right thing, "I see that you have good ability, so you said a lot of good things in front of the city lord, and the city lord values you very much." Now we are short of a catcher, so we ............. ”
Shocking Wind glanced at him with a little contempt, this person is really shameless, can you still speak in front of the city lord, and say good things for yourself? If you want to be the head catcher yourself, it is obviously a traitor in disguise, this person is not only lustful, but also talented, no wonder so many people hate him.
Shocking Wind pointed to the one hundred taels of silver on the table and said, "This is thanks to the head catcher, this is a little meaning, please accept it." ”
Yang Zhutou received the silver into his arms with a greedy face, and then laughed, "Young Master Long is really a capable person, if you do the Long Mansion properly, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." ”
The frightening wind smiled and did not answer, such a person is not worthy of his fellowship, and after a few words of greeting, he was sent out.
Now it's time to cultivate, and a lot of things should also be released, and three months is not a long time for a cultivator.
