Next Chapter

"One star blue, three branches of cold ice arrow grass, two rotten bone spirit flowers, one green dragon ginseng, two taels of heart-eroding mushrooms, and one golden vine, all of which are first-order low-level spirit grasses, a total of twenty-six family contribution points. ”

"Ye Bai, let's see if there's anything wrong?"

Behind the counter, an old man in a gray robe, with a kind and friendly expression, and a faint smile on his face all the year round, looked at the few things placed on the table, then pushed them aside, looked up at a gray-clothed young man opposite, and spoke.

"No need, this price is very fair, thank you Shopkeeper Ye!"

Hearing this, a gray-clothed young man in front of the counter smiled slightly, and did not really count it again.

"Huh. The old man smiled, stretched out his hand to beckon a guy, and moved the medicinal materials on the counter, then looked at the gray-clothed young man opposite again, and said meaningfully: "Ye Bai, usually you come back once every three days, once every five days, like this time, you haven't returned for half a month, and you only came back today, but it's very rare, don't tell me, the things you got in the past half a month are really just the garbage just now." Is there anything else good, hurry up and take it out to my old man, don't worry, I won't treat you badly. ”

"If I didn't believe in Ye Lao, I wouldn't have come here every time. ”

Hearing this, the gray-clothed young man smiled slightly, and really took out a package that was one size smaller than the one just now from his back again and put it on the table.

The gray-robed old man Ye's shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and when he saw the young man's actions, he actually hid these things separately behind his back to confuse people's ears and eyes, and knew that it must not be comparable to those ordinary goods just now, what is it that makes the young man, who is calm and cautious by nature, still be so vigilant, careful?

He has not been dealing with this young man for a day or two, knowing that although he is not very old, his mental cultivation is very different from that of his peers, and he is cautious, steady and down-to-earth, and there is no impatience and exaggeration that ordinary young people should have, since he has done this, it shows that the things in this small cloth bag are by no means unusual, at least, how can it be more valuable than those low-level spirit grasses just now, otherwise he would not have taken it out until he opened his mouth at this moment.

With a hint of anticipation, the old man carefully opened the package, and suddenly revealed several things inside, a light blue strange plant, a special-shaped flower shaped like a sunflower but fiery red and golden, as pale as snow, as muddy as silver grass, and a black black finger-like snake bone with a total of nine nodes on it.

The more the old man looked at it, the more joyful his face became, and he looked at it in the same way: "This is, Thousand Illusion Garan, a first-order intermediate herb, four contribution points, this is, nine-tailed dragon sunflower, a first-order intermediate medicinal herb, six contribution points, this is ...... Zhi Xuecao, a second-order low-level medicinal herb, my God, how did you get it, this is one of the eight main medicines for refining the 'Bone Cleansing Pill', and it is worth twelve contribution points...... This is, Heart-piercing snake bone, a good thing, one of the best materials for refining the first-order low-level Xuanbing 'snake bone whip', this heart-piercing snake is a second-order low-level fierce beast, with your current strength, I'm afraid you can't deal with it, it's hard for you how to get it, not bad, not bad......"

After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the gray-clothed young man opposite, obviously the gray-clothed young man brought him a lot of surprise this time, the young man smiled slightly, and said, "The shopkeeper has good eyesight." But he didn't explain anything, and the old man didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask, but a slight smile appeared on his face, and he immediately lowered his head again, and continued to look at the last two things left in the package.

What the old man didn't notice was that when he talked about the heart-piercing snake bone, the gray-clothed young man on the opposite side had a fleeting look of fear, obviously getting this heart-piercing snake bone battle was by no means as easy as it was on the surface, but it was immediately replaced by a resolute look on his face.

"Piercing the heart of the snake bone, worth twenty-one contribution points, hey......"

The old man casually reported the value of the snake bone, his eyes fell on the last two things, and suddenly he was shocked, and his fingers trembled and stretched out to a corner of the package, where, lying quietly under the snow grass, a strange-shaped iron block-like thing, its color was red, purple in the black, and there seemed to be a thin layer of mercury flowing inside, and the whole exuded infinite cold.

This piece of iron looks small, but it seems to be heavy and abnormal, the surface of the iron block flashes from time to time a sharp blade like a cold light, dazzling, extremely strange, the old man's fingers carefully stretched out, lightly touched, suddenly "......" The old man was taken aback, retracted his left hand like lightning, and then raised it to his eyes, only to see that it was only a moment before the index finger that touched the iron-like thing actually had a thin layer of blue frost!

"Cold Light Strange Iron, it is really Cold Light Strange Iron!"

The old man didn't seem to feel the chill to the bone, but his face was a rare madness, his eyes glowed as he looked at the strange iron stone lying quietly in the corner, his expression was full of ecstasy, and for a while, even Ye Bai, the master, was still standing aside.

Fortunately, after a while, the old man finally came to his senses, and across the counter, he grabbed the sleeve of the young man Ye Bai, "Ye Bai, where did you get this piece of cold light strange iron, and if there is one, I will definitely buy it at a high price, and I will definitely buy as much as I want, and I will definitely not treat you badly......"

When the young Ye Bai saw the old man's appearance, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, spread his hands, and said: "I want to too, Ye Lao, but this is just something I accidentally discovered in the cold ice river, if there is really one, I haven't taken it out and brought it to you a long time ago, and you don't know how much I lack contribution points, but there is really only such a small piece, or I chased a red firebird, and accidentally discovered it, this kind of natural treasure, where there are still several pieces, and getting such a small piece is already a blessing to heaven." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then put him down dejectedly, but after a while, he showed a look of excitement on his face, and said loudly: "Yes, this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, if it can be seen everywhere, it is not called a heavenly treasure, even if it is only such a small piece, it is enough to melt an intermediate Xuanbing, Ye Bai, your merit is too great, it is difficult for you to have this kind of luck, this kind of thing can only be obtained by chance, Han Binghe, how many experienced disciples in the family have been there, but I haven't seen them find out, it can be seen that it is just an accident." Good, good, good, just such a small piece of something, it is worth seventy contribution points, which is worth your usual seven or eight months of hard work, it is really a good thing, this thing, if you send it to Vice Deacon Ma, you will definitely be rewarded, rare, rare......"

Speaking of this, he still said uneasily: "If you find it again in the future, you must send it to me immediately, I will give you the highest price to buy, and I will never let you suffer." ”

Hearing this, Ye Bai immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Ye Lao, if I find this kind of cold light strange iron again, I will definitely send it to you immediately." ”

When the old man heard Ye Bai's words, he immediately showed a happy smile on his face, lowered his head and groped under the counter for a while, took out a purple-blue jade box, opened it and picked out some dark red powder from it, and smeared it tightly on his hands, and then reached out again and took out the piece of "Cold Light Strange Iron", this time there was no scene of cold mist, obviously the kind of medicinal powder he applied just now should have some strange functions, and he was not afraid of the bone-chilling cold of this "Cold Light Strange Iron".

I couldn't put it down for a long time, Ye Bai didn't bother, until the sky gradually darkened, the old man suddenly raised his head, and finally remembered that this was still in his own shop, and reluctantly put the piece of "Cold Light Strange Iron" back into the package, smiled apologetically at Ye Bai, and then reached out to pick up the last thing.

It was a strange flower that was as red as a glow and as bright as a cloud, and the old man who had seen the strange treasure of "Cold Light Strange Iron" obviously didn't look at this thing very much, and said directly: "Yunlin Flower, second-order low-level, sixteen contribution points!"

β€œ...... Thousand Illusion Garan, four contribution points, nine-tailed dragon sunflower, six contribution points, Zhi Xuecao, twelve contribution points, heart piercing snake bone, twenty-one contribution points, cold light strange iron, seventy contribution points, plus this Yunlin flower, sixteen contribution points, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine contribution points, plus the twenty-six contribution points of those first-order low-level spirit grasses before, Ye Bai's total contribution points you get this time are - one hundred and fifty-five points!"

This number is almost the sum of the total contribution points that Ye Bai has worked hard for a whole year, although he knows that this time he may not be able to reap the rewards, but hearing this number, Ye Bai still couldn't help but gasp, with a relieved smile on his face.

Although in order to get these things, Ye Bai had no shortage of thrills in the past fifteen days, and even almost died directly several times, but compared to the joy of getting these contribution points at this moment, the adventure of the previous fifteen days was completely worth it.

Among these, only eighty-five contribution points were obtained by his efforts, and the remaining seventy points were completely accidental, but Ye Bai was saved from half a year's effort, and the value of Cold Light Strange Iron was high.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Bai forcibly suppressed his excitement, and said to the old man: "Ye Lao, the old rule, deduct three points from it, and give me three more phantom heart grasses!"

Every time, Ye Bai returned from the adventure, and after exchanging the proceeds, he would exchange three first-order low-level phantom heart grasses from the old man, no one knew what he wanted to do with the low-level spirit grass phantom heart grass that had no effect at all, but could make people hallucinate strongly, but this had already formed a habit or even a sign for him.

Sure enough, after the old man heard Ye Bai say this, he couldn't help but take the trouble to persuade him again after every transaction: "You...... I really don't know what is the use of the Phantom Heart Grass that you can't eat or drink if you want this, and you can't even do anything else except refining the harmful pill of '** Dan', and you have to pay a contribution point, who wants to do such a stupid thing except you stupid boy?"

"If you want to exchange it, you have to exchange it for something valuable, like me, there are Xuanyuan Dan that assists in cultivation, Lingluo Pill that calms the mind, Luo Erdan that increases Xuanqi, and Hun Tian Dan that breaks through the realm, all of them are good things, just for you to use at this stage, even if you don't need pills, I have some low-level Xuanshu skills that can be used at the Xuanist stage, and even two Xuanbing, if you get any of them, your strength will increase exponentially, and it won't be so dangerous to go out again!"

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Bai to react, the gray-robed old man directly didn't know where to pick up a lot of things, more than a dozen long-necked jade bottles with various labels, four or five old and yellowed low-level secret books, and two jade boxes, one dark red and one dark blue, all fell on the table together, and suddenly there was a "......bang" sound.

On the dozen or so long-necked jade bottles, some are labeled with "Bone Cleansing Pill", some are labeled with "Soul Nourishing Pill", some are labeled with "Xuanyuan Pill", and some are labeled with "Lingluo Pill...... and other words, and there is even a purple vial, with three conspicuous black characters of "Hun Tian Dan" pasted on it, which is the most precious thing in more than a dozen bottles of pills, and it is generally willing to use it when Xuanshi advances.

And on top of the four or five ancient secret books, there are 'Qingping Technique', 'Strength Formula', 'Yuan Qi Technique', and 'Essence Qi Technique'...... There is also a 'self-sacrificing formula', which is the basic secret of the cultivation of the Xuan, and among these items, the most valuable are undoubtedly the two Xuanbing.

In the dark red jade box on the left, there was a large dark red scimitar lying quietly, shaped like a crescent moon, and you could feel a fierce aura coming to your face without getting close, it was a first-order low-level Xuan soldier, Dark Flame. In the dark blue jade box on the right, there is a blue iron hook lying flat, which looks heavy, as if there is seawater flowing on the surface, it is a first-order low-level Xuan soldier, sinking water.

The old man picked up the yellowed low-level secret books and introduced them directly to Ye Bai: "Like this, this 'Qingping Technique' is very suitable for you, you often go out on missions and enter various secret realms to explore, with this 'Qingping Technique', the speed is at least twice as high, and the chance of saving your life increases a lot, and this 'strength trick' can increase your strength by ten percent of your arms in a short period of time, although it can only last for half an hour, but it is also a good thing to kill strong beasts, and this Yuan Qi Technique, Essence Qi Technique, can keep the energy in the human body vigorous...... Which one is not better than the Phantom Heart Grass that you have no effect on?"

"That's right, you're still using an ordinary weapon now, that kind of thing, how can you use it for the Xuan, it will collapse and be damaged with a little force, these two first-order low-level Xuanbing, any one, when you encounter a second-order fierce beast again, whether it is attack power or the chance of saving your life, this is an indispensable thing for Xuanshi, come, I'll show you!"

As he spoke, the old man was about to reach out for the two jade boxes, but Ye Bai stopped him.

Reaching out and holding Ye Lao's hand, Ye Bai smiled bitterly: "No, Ye Lao, you don't know, I have accumulated contribution points for so long, just for the exchange ceremony in three months, that is the only time I have the opportunity to get the family's secret Xuan Qi cultivation exercises, I can't give up!"

His eyes swept over the things on the counter, whether it was an elixir or a secret book, not to mention the two Xuan soldiers, it would be fake to say that he was not impressed, although these pills were only first-order low-level pills, but they were just right for Ye Bai now, and those low-level secret books, if he could get even one of them, once he learned it, Ye Bai's strength would also increase by one level, and as for any of the two Xuan soldiers, it would be more direct for Ye Bai to face a second-order low-level fierce beast like the Heartpiercing Snake again, not only would he not die, but he could easily kill it, but all of this had a price...... And that price, no matter which one it is, is beyond the current Ye Bai to bear!

He can't, he won't do this, he has worked hard for three years, everything is just for the exchange ceremony three months later, only at that exchange ceremony, he can use these contribution points that he has worked hard for so long to go to the family Xuanwu Pavilion to exchange for an incomparably precious Xuanqi cultivation method - that is the most basic and most important thing for a Xuanqi cultivator, on the contrary, although these things in front of him are important, but compared to the Xuanqi cultivation exercises, everything is not worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai's face couldn't help but flash a touch of gloom.

If...... I am a disciple of the Inner Sect, so why worry about the exercises, pills, and even a Xuanbing now, those are directly distributed by the family deacon hall, and they are all of better quality.

Hearing Ye Bai's words, the old man was stunned, and only after a while did he sigh, and put his hand down dejectedly: "Hey, too, although these things are good, but compared to the family's Xuanqi cultivation exercises, they are nothing, after all, external forces are external forces, and when you really become a Xuanshi, these things will not be used, and there is no need to waste such precious family contribution points." ”

After speaking, he reached out and groped under the counter, and took out a small box, in which lay three inconspicuous-looking pale grasses, which were the phantom grass that Ye Bai wanted.

Although he didn't understand why Ye Bai would buy three Phantom Heart Plants here every time he exchanged contribution points, since Ye Bai didn't say it, he didn't ask.

"Okay, bring the Ming Card, I'll add today's contribution points to you!"

Hand the box to Ye Bai, Ye Lao Dao, Ye Bai heard this, stretched out his hand and handed over a card engraved with a blue maple leaf, the old man took it and wiped it lightly on his left hand, and the number on it was a jump, the original number on it was two hundred and thirty-three, and now it has become three hundred and eighty-five.

"Okay, the things you brought back today are worth a total of one hundred and fifty-five contribution points, and after deducting three points from these three Phantom Heart Grasses, you still have one hundred and fifty-two points left, which have already been recorded on your namecard. ”

"Thank you Shopkeeper Ye!" Seeing this number, the young man sighed inexplicably, took the blue maple leaf card from the old man's hand, and then carefully wrapped the three phantom heart grasses, put them in his arms, bowed to the old man, and walked out of the house.

Seeing Ye Bai's back disappear at the door of the shop, the old man couldn't help but sigh and muttered: " It's a pity, this kid, perseverance is amazing, strong temperament, if he can have the same treatment as a disciple of the inner sect, he will become a great weapon in the future, but sigh that God is not beautiful, his innate qualifications are ordinary, and he can't become a disciple of the inner sect, so he even has to use family contribution points to redeem a Xuanqi cultivation exercise, otherwise, with his perseverance, even if the qualifications are not good, the achievements at this time will definitely not lose to those ordinary disciples of the inner sect of the family, right, identity, it is so ruthless, it makes people desperate. ”

"Three months later, if he can't make up the five hundred points, then he will ......" The old man didn't say the following words, and in the end only a long sigh remained:

"It's a pityβ€”"

A sigh and a whirlwind. Outside the shop, the young man's footsteps suddenly paused, he looked back at the small shop in the twilight, his fingers clutched the inscription card in his arms, and then, resolutely turned back, and walked forward with firmer steps.
