"Hehe, I was busy with some trivial things not long ago, and I did leave the city for a while, don't talk about this, Shopkeeper Shen, I'll introduce you to you, this is Yuan Ming's fellow Daoyou, and I have some friendship." Cui Wuran said.

"It turned out to be Yuan's senior, I have been looking up for a long time, and my predecessor came to the store to buy pills? Since it is the introduction of Cui's seniors, I will give you a nine-percent discount, and I also ask my seniors to take care of the small shop business in the future. When Shopkeeper Shen heard this, he immediately arched his hand towards Yuan Ming.

When Cui Wuran heard the poison, the shopkeeper Shen took the initiative to offer a discount, giving himself a big face, and immediately smiled.

Yuan Ming was not polite when he saw this, and said directly: "Since this is the case, no." Knowing how many Iwasu Dan there are in Shen's shopkeeper's store, I want to buy a little more at once. ”

"Huh, Iwasudan? Can Yuan Daoyou know the side effects of this pill? Don't buy it. Cui Wuran was stunned for a moment, and immediately reminded.

"Alas, Cui Daoyou, thank you for your kind reminder, how can I not know the side effects of the Iwasu Dan, but I am really shy, and I have to buy this pill to cultivate." Yuan Ming smiled bitterly, looking lonely.

Cui Wuran's lips squirmed twice when he saw this, and he seemed to remember something sad, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this situation, Shopkeeper Shen immediately said: "Senior Yuan, don't worry, there are still a lot of Yanxudan in the main store, if you want it, a bottle of one hundred and sixty spirit stones is enough." ”

Yuan Ming nodded, and reported the amount that was enough for his Daoyang Year cultivation needs, and Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly arranged it after hearing this.

And after the shopkeeper Shen left, Cui Wuran suddenly sighed and said: "Alas, Yuan Daoyou is so embarrassed now, I really feel heartache to see it, in this way, I have not received a large number of pills from the Scattered Alliance for a long time, although this task is difficult, but because the remuneration state is extremely rich, the Scattered Alliance only wants to select trustworthy candidates, so it is not posted to the public, if Yuan Daoyou is willing, I can help you introduce and refer, and also get a piece of the pie." ”

"Please also ask Cui Daoyou to elaborate." Yuan Ming pretended to move.

"That's right, just near this trapped sand city, a fire-throated lizard nest was discovered not long ago, and there are no less than second-level upper level existences in it, and our mission is to completely destroy this nest, and after the deed is completed, each participant can get at least eight bottles of spirit pills or equivalent spirit stones." Cui Wuran said.

Yuan Ming was a little surprised, the reward at this price was not worth mentioning to him, but for ordinary casual cultivation, combined with the price of goods here, it was indeed rich.

He is really short of elixirs and he is not short of spirit stones now, so after pretending to be entangled for a long time, he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Cui Daoyou, Yuan's strength is limited, a group of second-level demon beasts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to parry, and I still can't make trouble for Cui Daoyou." ”

Hearing this, Cui Wuran knew that Yuan Ming might not be able to look down on this task, his face was disappointed, and he persuaded a few more words, seeing Yuan Ming's resolute attitude, he could only give up temporarily, and gave Yuan Ming a summons, telling Yuan Ming that if he changed his mind, he could go to himself.

Yuan Ming nodded, and after accepting the messenger, it happened that at this time, the shopkeeper Shen walked back with Yan Xudan, Yuan Ming took a brief inventory, then said goodbye to Cui Wuran and left Chunfeng Hall.

After returning to his residence, Yuan Ming did not take what happened in the Spring Breeze Hall to heart, and began to cultivate as usual.

It's just that when he was about to absorb the power of the wish to cultivate the divine soul, but

Suddenly, I found that there was a strong desire outside the stealing Tianding.

Different from the wish power he generated, this wish power appeared to be more long and mellow, and it seemed to have another source.

Yuan Ming channeled this power of wish into the soul of distraction, and when he was refining, he faintly felt a complex emotion containing gratitude, prayer, and pleading.

At the same time, he also sensed that the owner of this wish was located in a certain house in the eastern part of the outer city.

In addition to the difference between the inner city and the outer city, the city is further divided into different areas, such as the resident square where the scattered alliance gathers, the merchant square with many shops, and so on.

And the place where this wish came from was in the very famous Heishifang in the outer city, where there were no monks willing to visit, and the people who lived there were all poor and destitute mortals.

Yuan Ming was curious, so he sent the soul crow again to check the situation of the source of the wish power.

A pair of feet in shabby cloth shoes landed on the filthy black earth.

Hu Ji walked down the street with a cloth bag in his hand, carefully pushing away the garbage residues that appeared on the street from time to time, as well as the wet sand and mud with a strong stench.

The streets are lined with dilapidated yellow walls, separated by makeshift barriers made of dirty cloth and rubble, dividing the not very modest house into a dozen rooms.

Strings hung from the streets, connecting countless houses on either side, and the faded clothes dripping with light black dirty water that fell on pedestrians caused a burst of scolding.

In an alley on the left-hand side of Hu Ji, three children stood in the corner of the wall reverently, reverently reverently releasing filth towards a certain door, but the next moment, the door suddenly opened, and the owner walked out without knowing it, stepped on the filth with one foot, and after seeing what was going on, he immediately blushed, waved his arms angrily, and chased after the child.

In the room to Huji's right, two ragged women were arguing, all sorts of foul language mixed with the cause of the matter, as if it was only because someone was wearing the wrong underwear.

Today's excellent black soil workshop is still as noisy as ever.

Hu Ji did not linger at these commonplace sights, but walked briskly forward, returning to his dwelling in the depths of the Black Soil Workshop.

He has been in the trap sand city for many years, because he also has a job in the caravan, which is considered a small savings, and the rented room is not partitioned, only he meets his wife and daughter to live, and the treatment is already of the highest class in the black soil workshop.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his daughter, who was only six years old, sitting in the middle of the house and washing clothes, her young hands were wrinkled by the blisters, and Hu Jien felt distressed for a while.

Hu Ji put down the cloth bag in his hand, took the laundry tub from his daughter's hand, and asked while scrubbing the laundry.

"Where's your mother? How did you get to do this? ”

"Mother, she just fell ill again, I don't want her to work hard, so I want to help, Dad, don't blame Mother."

As if to hear a hint of reproach in Hu Ji's words, her daughter explained timidly.

Hu Ji hurriedly put down his clothes, stood up and said, "Are you sick again?" What about the medicine I bought before? Did you give it to your mother? ”

"Yes, but my mother said that this time it is not too serious, the medicine is expensive, so I have to save some food." The daughter said.

Hearing this, Hu Ji immediately frowned, walked out of the inner room quickly, opened the bedroom door curtain, and sure enough, he saw his wife lying on the bed.

His wife was extremely thin, her limbs were like long poles, her hair was like grass, and her dark yellow face was not bloody, and the blue-gray spots were particularly terrifying to look at.

When she heard Hu Jiyuan coming, she turned her head with difficulty, and glanced at the door, her cloudy eyes with surprise.

"Aji, why did you come back so early today?"

"The caravan still can't find enough manpower for a while, so they asked me to go back first and wait for news, but you, didn't I tell you, you can't try to save money, buy medicine when you're sick, why don't you always listen to me." Hu Ji muttered as he pulled out the wooden box from under the table beside the bed.

He opened the wooden box, his eyes fixed slightly, and then he pretended to be nothing, took out a black pill from it, and got up to scoop a bowl of water from the water tank in the house.

The water in the tank is not clear and damp, but faintly has a green color, and it smells faintly peculiar.

However, this water is the only water that the people in the Black Shifang can obtain, and it comes from the wells in the Fang that go directly to the underground dark river, and the water quality is extremely poor, so it is not valued by the monks in the city, and only mortals can drink it in Pingyuli.

Hu Ji supported his wife and fed her the medicine, seeing that her complexion was much worse than that of going to prison, he was secretly anxious, but he was afraid of causing his wife to worry, so he did not show it on his face.

Then, after comforting his wife, he got up and left the bedroom to an offering table in the main room.

It is placed on the table. A tablet with the words "Black River God" written on it is very finely made, and there is a decoration that cannot be less patterned.

Hu Ji glanced at the tablet slot, then went to get the cloth bag that he had put down when he entered the door, and took a brand new offering table from it.

There are only four small characters on this tablet "Engong Yuan Ming", and the workmanship is slightly worse than the tablet of the Black River God, but it also shows its intentions.

Hu Ji put the tablet away, then knelt down in front of the offering table, respectfully kowtowed three important heads, bowed his head and prayed for a while, and then he actually got under the tablet, took out a small bag of gold and silver from the bottom of the dark grid, hid it in his arms, and told his daughter two words, and then turned to the door.

Soon after, he came to the two-story house with the hidden gold and silver, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

"Who? Yo, this isn't Brother Huji, what are you doing here in broad daylight? A man with an obese body opened the door and looked at Hu Jidao.

Hu Ji lowered his head and said, "Lord Divine Envoy, I'm here to buy medicine." ”

Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, he was full of fat, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Buy medicine, it's easy to say, it's just that recently, there are too many people in the city who have green poison, and the medicine given by the Black River God is not enough. I'm afraid it's a lot more expensive than before. ”

Hu Ji took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "God reassures your lordship, I brought a lot of silver this time." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the bag he had hidden in his arms.

The man took the bag, checked it, and suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face, turned sideways to get out of the way, and let Hu Ji into the house.
