Chapter 8 Observations

As the two walked out, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng left the Nanqing mining area for the first time in more than four years, and they felt a lot of emotion for a while. Before leaving, Zhou Huan learned from Zhao Tieniu, the miner's manager, that due to the remote location of the mining area, the nearest town to the mining area was more than 20 miles away.

Zhou Huan was going to go to the town first, and then to find a carriage to go to the direction near Fang City. Although Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng were among the monks, their cultivation had not yet reached the middle stage of qi refining, and they had not yet had the ability to control the flying magic weapon.

Even if the monk's feet were fast enough, Zhou Huan and the others rushed to the nearest town not long after, and after asking passers-by about the location of the horse shop in the town, they walked quickly towards the horse shop.

Zhou Huan and the two came to the horse shop mentioned by passers-by, preparing to catch a carriage as planned.

"I'm really sorry for these two guests, there is only one carriage from the town to Xilan City today, and I may have to share it with other guests." The steward of the carriage shop said apologetically.

There are very few carriages that can pass by the vicinity of Fang City, Zhou Huan Fangzheng heard this, so he had to ride in the same plane with the other passengers, and after the other two also got into the carriage, he set off.

"Two little brothers, are you also from Fuliu Town?" The girl sitting directly opposite Zhou Huan asked with some curiosity, the girl was about seven or eight years old, and she still had two cute braids.

"Don't be rude, Frost." A young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen sitting next to the girl said.

"It's okay, we're not from the town, we just happened to be passing by." Zhou Huan replied with a smile.

"I see, contemptible Qin Teng. This is the little girl Qin Xiaoshuang. Qin Teng arched his hand and said.

"Hey, next week." "Right down there." The two returned the salute. "We have some trivial matters to go to the city."

"To meet is to meet. If the two little brothers don't dislike it, after finishing important things in the city, they can come to my restaurant for a gathering. ”

"Yes, yes, the restaurant that my father opened in the city is big, the food is delicious, and the little brother wants to come when he is free." For some reason, the father and daughter looked at the two heroic young men in front of them, and felt that the two of them exuded a sense of naturalness and ease, which couldn't help but make people want to get close.

Zhou Huan smiled and agreed, saying that he would definitely try the craft if he had the opportunity. In the next few hours, Zhou Huan and Fangzheng chatted with the father and daughter opposite.

Halfway through, the carriage arrived at the nearest place more than 20 miles away from Fang City, and it was even farther to go there. The two beckoned the groom to stop.

Under the somewhat surprised eyes of the father and daughter and the groom, they got out of the carriage here.

"Brother Qin, Xiao Shuang'er, I just have something to hide, I'm really sorry, don't pass it here." After speaking, without waiting for the three of them to react, they quickly disappeared from view.

"There's no town around here, right?" Qin Teng couldn't help but think of the rumors that there were immortal masters nearby that often spread in Fuliu Town.

"Daddy, where are the two little brothers?"

"There may be something else to do, don't think about it too much, let's continue on the road." After speaking, the carriage was set up again and headed away in the direction of Xilan City.

Ningchuan is named after a river, the first river is the Changning River in the south, and the other is the Changqing Mountain Range on the northern edge. And the Fang City that Zhou Huan and the others are going to is located at the foot of the mountain on the southern side of the Changqing Mountain Range.

After a short time, the two of them arrived near Fang City, which is the property of Biluozong. There is a formation in Fang City, covering a radius of several miles, and mortals cannot discover this place. The monks need to have the jade plate issued by Changqingfang City to enter, and Zhou Huan and the others are disciples of the outer sect of the Biluo Sect, and they have a sect jade plate, so they also walked in smoothly.

As the two approached, the entire market was displayed in front of Zhou Huan and the others.

Fang Market looks about the same size as the previous Fuliu Town, there are only two streets in the whole Fang City, the two streets are crossed, there are different high and low buildings on both sides of the street, some are as high as restaurants, some are low-rise huts, and the higher the houses are at the central fork.

Although the entire Fang Market is the property of the Biluo Sect, only a small part of it is managed by the disciples of the sect, while most of the others are rented out to some small cultivation sects, monk families, and even casual cultivators to do some trading and make a living.

The Biluo Sect will issue tasks regularly, and appoint several foundation building disciples and more than a dozen high-level Qi refining disciples to garrison this place to maintain the stability and order of the entire Fang City, just like the foreign affairs tasks carried out by Zhou Huan and others. If Zhou Huan cultivates in the future, he may also receive a similar task, of course, for him, this is all a later story.

The locations on both sides of the outer streets of the entire Fang City are basically reserved for the casual cultivators. There are a large number of casual cultivators, but most of them do not have enough resources such as spirit stones at hand, and occasionally they temporarily want to exchange some materials, as long as they give the disciples in the management of Fang City a low-level spirit stone, they can set up stalls and trade in these places.

Because this place is close to the Evergreen Mountain Range with many demon beasts and lush spirit grass in the north, and there is only one fang market here within a thousand miles, so there are many monks coming and going here. Some of the materials that the monks obtained in the Evergreen Mountain Range would also come to the Fang Market to trade, and the streets presented a lively scene.

Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng looked as they walked, there were all kinds of strange things and spirit grasses on the stalls on both sides, although Zhou Huan didn't know their effects, he still had a greedy eye, and continued to walk inside, and the monks were selling some spirit beasts.

Zhou Huan thought of his unhatched snake eggs, shook his head, and then put away a lot of thoughts and walked towards a larger store.

Seeing that the plaque above the store said "Jubao Zhai", Zhou Huan thought that this should be the place where monster materials can be sold. In the shop on the first floor of the two-story building, there were many low-level monks waiting for a deal at this time, and Zhou Huan and the others were also waiting when they saw this.

It didn't take long for Zhou Huan's turn, and then he took out a spare storage bag, which contained the demon beast materials collected over the years, and put it on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept these materials?" Zhou Huan asked calmly on the outside, but he was a little nervous in his heart, after all, it was the first time to exchange spirit stones, and he didn't know if he would accept these materials.

"Well, I did." The middle-aged fat monk standing behind the counter looked at the materials, looked at Zhou Huan again, and said.

He had seen many such young low-level monks, and in fact, the iron rat skin was dispensable to his shop, but the snake teeth and snake gall of the red snake attracted some attention from him. It must be known that the Red Snake is a second-order demon beast, and the little monk in front of him is only at the third level of Qi refining, and with this ability, he can form a good relationship with him, and in case this person cultivates in the future, he can also obtain better demon beast materials.

Then the fat monk thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Even if you have thirty low-rank spirit stones." ”

This price exceeded Zhou Huan's expectations, and then he happily replied: "Yes." By the way, shop, I will ask you, is there any place near Fang City where there are more first-order demon beasts? ”

"Then you are asking the right person, near this city, walk dozens of miles to the dense forest in the northwest, there are many first-order demon beasts over there." The fat friar replied kindly.

"Thank you for your advice." After Zhou Huan finished speaking, he took the spirit stone, then retreated to the side and waited.

Then Fang Zheng also exchanged the materials accumulated by killing demon beasts in the past few years, and probably got more than ten spirit stones, and after carefully placing the spirit stones, the two left together.

Leaving Jubaozhai and walking on the road of Fangshi Street, Zhou Huan saw many shops selling pills, and thought that his cultivation was slowly entering, so he wanted to find out if there were any pills that could improve his cultivation.

Then Zhou Huan walked into one of the pill shops, asked if there was any pill to improve cultivation during the Qi refining period, and walked out with a wry smile.

The pill he asked about was called Qi Harvesting Pill, which was mainly refined from low-level spirit grass Dripping Dew Grass, and it was the most common pill for low-level monks in the Qi refining period to improve their mana cultivation, but the price was quite expensive, and one would cost ten low-level spirit stones. In this regard, Zhou Huan sighed a little, among the people he knew well, only Duan Gaojie could afford it.

In the next few hours, although the two of them did not have many spirit stones on their bodies, they still visited other shops in the market, as well as some scattered cultivation stalls, and all kinds of spiritual objects gave the two of them a new understanding of the cultivation world outside the sect.

As the sky got dark, Zhou Huan and the others came to the inn in Fang City, ready to rest for one night and make plans tomorrow. In the guest room, Zhou Huan counted the remaining spirit stones, and sighed that cultivation was not easy, so he meditated and started to work.

The next day, the two of them went out early and came to the streets of Fang City, ready to find a few more casual cultivators to inquire about the place that the fat shopkeeper said before, after all, casual cultivators often travel outside and may have been there.

After a short time, the two of them came to a stall with a lot of spiritual grasses, and the stall owner was a middle-aged man with about four levels of qi refining.

"This fellow Daoist, do you know any places nearby where there are more first-order demon beasts?" After speaking, Zhou Huan took out a spirit stone and handed it over.

Dahan just wanted to find an excuse not to answer, looked at the spirit stone handed over in front of him, and then said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you can be regarded as asking the right person, more than thirty miles to the northwest, there is a place called Lishui Stream, and there are many first-order demon beasts nearby. ”

"Thank you for your advice." Zhou Huan arched his hand.

After listening to Dahan's answer, Zhou Huan and Fangzheng turned around and left, and prepared to go to Lishui Stream to have a look.

Walked to the stone road outside, and was just about to step out of Fang City, only to hear a voice as crisp as a silver bell behind him: "Are the two Taoist friends going to Lishui Stream, can you take me with you?" ”
