Wang Ye crawled among the thorns, holding his breath and concentrating.

The Survival Guide has once again refreshed the exploration information.

[An old merchant in the cultivation realm passed by here, refining qi on the first level of cultivation, and could use the spirit valley to exchange it for the items he needed. 】

Merchant?

Wang Ye thought he had heard something wrong.

Professions that had disappeared in their previous lives could actually be encountered in the cultivation realm.

A pure cultivator at the first level of Qi refining, no wonder he was able to explore information from afar......

Since he is a merchant, he should not have come to rob Linggu, but to smell the fragrance of rice and feel that there is business before coming.

"Is anyone there? Liu San, a merchant in Montenegro Town, passed by here and begged for saliva from Taoist friends. ”

The old man's voice was as dry as dry wood.

[Generally speaking, the merchant is not engaged in murder and treasure, but there is no law in this world, so you still have to pay attention to safety. 】

This kind of thing, there is no need to remind it, Wang Ye also knows it.

The panel reminded me, but it only added a little tension.

One thing Wang Ye was sure of: when the survival guide first prompted [There is a guest], he immediately hid.

This action will not be discovered by anyone who comes.

Because, the purpose of the survival guide is to protect his life, and he will always make a chance to escape in advance.

The problem is that Wang Ye did not choose to flee for his life, but hid.

Next, sweep with the divine sense of the Qi Refining Cultivator, and people who come will definitely find him.

And the strength of the Qi Refining Cultivator must be stronger than that of a mortal like him.

If it was a robber from the Qi Refining Realm, Wang Ye might have abandoned the valley and escaped.

But the other party is a merchant on the first level of gas refining, and he is a low-level businessman.

Therefore, Wang Ye decided to take a gamble to protect the Linggu that he had worked so hard to raise.

At this moment, before the other party dispersed his divine sense, Wang Ye got up to greet the guest, his form fluttering, and he came out of the cave by pretending to hear a voice.

As he walked towards the valley, he smiled to himself.

"It's a coincidence, I've lived here for three years and no one cares, and when the Linggu is ripe, the guests come."

The guest was an old man leading an old horse.

Two large wooden boxes were carried on horseback, which were full of ordinary objects, among which water, food, and agricultural tools were the mainstay.

The old man was like dry wood, with a rickety body, long black and white hair, and a withered and tired face.

There is a storage bag hanging from his waist, which is supposed to contain spiritual objects.

Wang Ye could feel a chilling breath, sweeping in the spiritual field, among the wolves, and near the vegetable furrow and the cave.

Eventually, it fell on him.

This is the legendary skill that only cultivators have-

Divine Consciousness.

Locked by the divine sense, there is a kind of fear and anxiety that people will see through and no secret can be hidden.

The old man who led the horse looked around.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see the cultivator.

After confirming that the young man in front of him was the owner of this place, and that he was only a mortal, the old man relaxed his guard slightly.

The survivor tribe within a radius of thousands of miles, he and other foot merchants have touched it all, but he didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net.

I want to make a small profit today!

"Maybe it's the fragrance of the rice that has guided the old decay."

"The people who can survive in the wasteland are very sensitive to the taste of the Spirit Valley, which is not a miracle."

"Don't be surprised."

The old man symbolically apologized.

Wang Ye was noncommittal, and only responded casually.

"How so?"

There was a light smile on his face, but he was nervous in his heart......

Even if the other party is not bad and is a serious businessman, it can be seen that a mortal who has planted a field of spiritual valley is like seeing a dumpling with thin skin and big depression, and it is inevitable that he will want to taste it.

Therefore, the momentum cannot be lost, and it is best to vaguely show some strength.

The old man looked around, tied the horse rope to a boulder, and waved it at Wang Ye.

"What do you call a fellow Daoist?"

Wang Ye did not answer immediately, but asked:

"Black Town...... Where is it? I've lived here for three years and I don't know there are villages and towns nearby. ”

The old man was slightly surprised and said:

"Black Mountain Town is the largest cultivation gathering area within a radius of thousands of miles, not far away, five hundred miles to the west."

"However, to pass through the desert area, it is best for Daoists to prepare a horse or travel in a companion with people."

Five hundred miles, not far...... Yours is the real thing.

Wang Ye thought to himself, why didn't the cultivator cross the desert with a sword, but he had to ride a horse?

When did the Age of Calamity begin and how long did it last?

In this world, is there still a sect......

Wang Yeqiang suppressed his curiosity and did not ask these most basic questions, so as not to appear young.

In the tone of an outsider, he asked:

"Are there a lot of people around?"

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Ye, confirming that this was a foreigner, but a mortal living alone in the wilderness was by no means a simple person.

"Well, there are many small tribes within a radius of thousands of miles, and I am the first to see them when I live alone...... What do you call a Taoist friend? ”

Ask people by name, and you can learn a lot of information.

Wang Ye thought about it, and according to the identity and information of Han Ping's predecessors, he casually set up a fellow identity.

"My name is Wang Ye, I am a disciple of Qingluan Sect, I strayed into the night after the catastrophe, I was in a coma for a long time, and I am here after waking up......"

"Before I saw you today, I thought that the human race in the cultivation realm was all extinct...... How long has this cataclysm lasted? ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Even if the Qingluan Sect is a great sect, it won't be a disciple who strays into the night, and it can still survive to this day, right?

There are many doubts.

"It's been ten years."

The old man sighed.

Wang Ye also looked melancholy, then shook his head and sighed:

"It's only been ten years...... The world has become like this. ”

Saying this, he didn't care about the old man anymore, so he took out a simple dagger and bent down to harvest the Spirit Valley.

The old man was left to dry, feeling neglected.

However, the more he was neglected, the more cautious he became, and asked tentatively again:

"Is there any water to drink here? Wang Daoyou, can you make it convenient? ”

Wang Ye buried his head in collecting wheat, and said casually:

"There is some sewage in the tidal flats, I guess there must be clean water in your box for sale, I should ask Daoyou for saliva to drink."

Exposed to the lie, the old man smiled awkwardly.

"Where, where, the water brought by the old decay is pure spiritual water to be sold, just drink some sewage yourself."

"There is a lot of sewage, please take care of yourself."

With that, Wang Ye cut a bundle of spirit valleys and put them in the inventory.

It looks like it's in a storage bag.

Another bundle was cut, and it disappeared again......

The old man rubbed his eyes and unleashed his senses.

After looking at it carefully for a long time, I didn't see the shadow of the storage bag on the other party.

Now, he didn't have the heart to drink sewage.

Being able to completely hide the storage bag in front of him means ......

The old man froze in place, his face pale, and he didn't dare to think about it any longer.

Wang Ye took the opportunity to pinch his waist and straighten up, pretending to rest for a while, staring at the old man with a confused look, and asked meaningfully:

"I'm curious, in this era, Daoyou is doing business alone in the wilderness, don't you worry about safety?"

The old man smiled awkwardly, vaguely aware of the danger.

An ominous premonition appeared in his heart: the young man in front of him was not only hiding the storage bag, but also probably hiding the cultivation!

Look at the wolves in the distance.

One by one, they sat obediently like dogs, starving at the Linggu on the slope, but they didn't dare to move.

can make the wolves jealous of this, this son is undoubtedly a cultivator!

Whether it's a hidden storage bag or a space spell...... None of this is something that ordinary Qi refining cultivators can do.

Of course, it is also possible that this son is a treasure!

However, he did not dare to bet on this possibility.

At the end of the day, he's just a businessman.

I was only secretly glad that I hadn't done anything arrogant or disrespectful just now.

To be on the safe side, he hurriedly took out the dealer's signboard.

A small bright yellow flag with runes engraved on it, four words-

Ring Canal Traders.

described the boring old face, forcibly squeezed out a dry smile:

"Wang Daoyou, don't laugh, a radius of thousands of miles, who doesn't know the merchant alliance in Black Mountain Town?"

"Every foot merchant has a special magic weapon to defend against fierce beasts, and when encountering bandits, there is a transmission note to report remotely."

"If you really meet a villain who doesn't have long eyes, the old decay will also have a way to open a charm and blow himself up."

"That's why, the foot traders in the wilderness are all old bones like me, and when people reach the age of dying, there is nothing to fear, and if they are killed in the wild, the alliance will also subsidize their families."

"What's more, we do low-cost trading, and the real valuables have to go to the town to buy them in person."

Wang Ye listened casually, and could vaguely hear three subtexts from the old man's words.

Subtext 1: The merchant alliance in Black Mountain is very powerful, and if you do something against the traders, you will be retaliated against.

Subtext 2: I'm very old, I haven't lived for a few years, my life is not worth anything, if you mess with me, I will die with you, and I can earn a pension for my family.

Subtext 3: I don't have any valuables here, and I can't get the money for this money to get the Guilty Business Alliance.

Wang Ye shook his head and smiled.

Look at the scared people and children......

Be careful sailing the Ten Thousand Year Ship, in the Wasteland Age, it is good to be in awe of strangers, especially to a cultivator who has hidden a storage bag.

"Haha, don't be nervous Liu Daoyou, Wang is not that kind of person."

"Living here is just a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."

Subtext: Just because I'm not that kind of person doesn't mean I don't have that strength.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of a fresh breeze to dry the fine sweat hidden in the folds of his forehead.

"Today's fate, if Wang Daoyou has any things he needs, just say that he will definitely give the lowest price."

After a simple mutual temptation, Wang Ye's purpose was finally achieved, he straightened up and asked knowingly:

"I've run out of spirit stones...... Can Spirit Valley be traded? ”

The old man was also surprised, the other party was obviously hiding something, but why didn't he know anything about common sense?

Wang Daoyou laughed, who still has spirit stones in this era? They are all bartered with spirit valleys and talismans. ”

Wang Ye thought about it, what he needed most at the moment was exercises and spirit swords.

It's a pity that he hasn't practiced qi yet, and he can't use the exercises and spirit swords.

At the same time, doing so will also expose the essence of his rookie, which strong person would buy a low-level martial arts spirit sword?

After thinking about it, he decided to buy some equipment that would help him walk at night.

After all, he won't live in the Green River Valley forever, and if he wants to move far away, he will have to walk through the wilderness at night sooner or later.

"I need some torches that will burn for a long time...... Do you have one? ”

"Yes, yes."

The old man hurriedly took out a yellow, reddish rune paper from the storage bag.

Made of animal skin, as thin as cicada wings, carved with intricate runes.

The panel immediately gives exploration information.

[Renew the fire charm, sticking it on the torch can probably continue to burn the fire for two nights.] 】

The old man also introduced to Wang Ye:

"This is a fire renewing talisman, and if you stick it on a torch, you can continue to burn the fire for two nights."

Good fellow, this old man talks like a panel!

Wang Ye asked:

"How do you sell this thing?"

The old man glanced at Wang Ye, thought about it and said with a smile:

"A low-grade spirit stone, or the equivalent of a hundred catties of spirit valley, has a relationship with a fellow Daoist, how about eighty catties?"

Wang Ye was dumbfounded.

The spiritual field that he had worked hard to plant for half a year could only change to a fire continuation talisman!

He said indignantly:

"I'm a pure natural greenhouse spirit valley, without adding any oxytocin, and with a rod, the chaff can also feed the chickens......"

"That's it, I'll give you Handa Linggu, and you can give me a fire renewing talisman."

The old man didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless in lowering the price.

Handa Linggu, barely able to produce fifty catties of rice, looking at the quality, it is not as good as the self-produced Linggu in Black Mountain Town.

The fire continuation talisman is not made by him, and the two dealers have a hand and sell fifty catties of inferior Linggu, and he has to lose money.

"This ......"

The old man's face was embarrassed.

Wang Ye smiled.

"It seems that the lowest price you said is teasing me."

Not panicking is fake, the old man had to grit his teeth and say:

"That's it, make friends with Taoist friends at a loss."

The deal was closed quickly.

The old man also helped with the harvest......

This friend is worth it!

In order to thank the old man, Wang Ye kindly ran to the puddle to scoop up a basin of sewage and gave it to the old man for free.

The old man's face turned green.

Wang Ye smiled at this time:

"There's a purification pool here, go filter it."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the filter to filter out the green algae and stains in the water.

There is obviously no water purification formation in this pool, and the clear water that comes out is extremely clean, and I am secretly surprised in my heart.

Now he was so thirsty that he swallowed the sea and drank a basin of water.

Wang Ye took the opportunity to ask:

"Except for the town of Black Mountain, there are any other places with better scenery nearby."

In fact, what he really wanted to ask was what dangerous places were nearby.

The old man wiped the water stains on his beard and said:

"How can there be a place with good scenery in this era...... By the way, seniors don't have to move around lately. ”

Wang Ye asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

The old man said:

"Recently, there was a female bandit who committed a crime nearby, killing people and stealing goods, doing all kinds of evil, and the town of Montenegro is offering her a high reward."

"The old man also took advantage of her to make waves, so scared that the foot trader didn't dare to go out, so he wanted to come out and make more money."

Wang Zhixin said, fortunately, he asked more, and went out blindly, the risk was still too great.

"Is there a name or a picture of the bandit?"

The old man was stunned, and vaguely guessed Wang Ye's thoughts.

"That's not true, the seniors want to exchange people for rewards? Forget it, that female bandit is too cruel to harm her seniors. ”

Wang Ye was also a little scared, and pretended to be calm and said:

"How brutal?"

The old man shook his head vigorously, not wanting to say anything more.

"In short, if you see a particularly beautiful woman in the neighborhood...... Be sure to run. ”
