Chapter 60: The Rice Bucket
The Demon Beast Forest, located on the border of Zhongzhou and bordering Muzhou, is a vast forest, one of the three major forests where the demon beasts of the entire continent gather, even if it is the outermost part of the forest, you can see many third-order and fourth-order demon beasts.
As for the first and second orders, they can be seen everywhere, which is why the cultivation of the Jindan Realm also has to form a team before they dare to step into the Demon Beast Forest.
Moreover, the monster forest has fertile soil and abundant spiritual energy, which is especially suitable for the growth of spirit grass and spirit fruit, and at the same time of hunting demon beasts, you can also look for spirit grass, which is a survival paradise for demon beasts, and it is also an ideal place for monks to get rich overnight.
If you can find a different grass, it will be a place to get rich overnight, of course, what Zhou Wu lacks the most is the spirit grass, the demon beast forest, just for a better battle, experience, and a place to improve cultivation, that's all.
After months of flying with Edgeworth, the three of them finally arrived at the Medicine City, which was a hundred miles away from the Demon Beast Forest.
The medicine city is very large, it is a big city, more than half of them are cultivators, after all, those who are here are all interested in the benefits brought by the fertile land of the demon beast forest, but all the monks who come out of the forest will choose to rest in the medicine city, and most of the spirit grass demon beast materials brought out will choose to sell in the medicine city.
"The walls of the medicine city are thirty zhang thick, which is to prevent those rioting demon beasts, and the medicine city has a self-defense army, but whoever enters the city, everyone needs to pay a hundred spirit stones before entering, and these spirit stones are used to support these self-defense forces." Ye Xiuyuan said.
Zhou Wu said with a smile: "This city is so big, there are hundreds of thousands of monks who come in and out every day, isn't that an astronomical number?" It seems that becoming the self-defense army of this medicine city will be well paid, Lao Ye, think about it? ”
Ye Xiuyuan hurriedly postponed and said: "I can't do it, this medicine city self-defense army, the treatment is naturally rich, but it also needs the cultivation of the Jindan realm to be qualified, and the demon beasts of the demon beast forest often rush out of the forest and attack humans, this is a dangerous profession, if you are not careful, it will be a matter of losing your life, I will not do it." ”
"Haha, Lao Ye, you are also scared sometimes, but I seem to find that you seem to have some understanding of everything in the land of Kyushu, and I find that I can't see through you more and more." Indeed, since he knew Ye Xiuyuan, Zhou Wu felt that Ye Xiuyuan knew a lot of things, and he found that he really couldn't see through the old man in front of him.
"Where is it, this is just some common sense in the cultivation realm of the land of Kyushu." Ye Xiuyuan hurriedly said.
While speaking, the three of them paid three hundred spirit stones, entered the medicine city, found a hotel, and planned to rest for a few days, so they entered the demon beast forest.
"The three of you, are you going to enter the Demon Beast Forest to pan for gold?"
As soon as I entered the hotel, the clerk hurriedly greeted me.
"Yes, bring me two rooms and prepare some food." Ye Xiuyuan said.
"Haole, two rooms, forty spirit stones for one night, three of you for a few days?"
"Three days."
"Haole, a total of one hundred and twenty spirit stones in three days."
"So expensive! What's the difference between this and robbery? Zhou Wu rolled his eyes.
"There's no way, there are a lot of monks gathered in this medicine city, and the prices are higher, that's a common thing." Ye Xiuyuan said.
In the end, it was Yang Zilan who took out the spirit stone, and asked for some food casually.
"After eating, let's go to the Alchemist Guild to see if we can form a team." While eating, Ye Xiuyuan said.
The Alchemist Guild, almost every city has a branch hall, and like the Soul Washing Tower, it is a relatively old guild, but the Soul Washing Pagoda has declined, while the Alchemist Guild is becoming more and more prosperous.
Of course, in Medicine City, the Alchemist Guild can also find the best companions.
"The three of you are looking for a companion to enter the Demon Beast Forest?" At this time, I saw a young man in his early twenties walking to the table and saying to Zhou Wu and the others.
Zhou Wu looked up and saw that it was a tall monk with only a ninth layer of Qi cultivation period, in his early twenties, dressed plainly.
Zhou Wu looked up and down, and from the other party, he could feel a heavy breath.
"It's such a rich taste of the earth, and it hasn't entered the foundation yet, the breath of this spiritual root is so strong, this kid's talent shouldn't be bad, just because your physical fitness is not very good, which affects the cultivation of the qi cultivation period." Zhou Wu was a little surprised in his heart.
"Boy, why did you enter the forest when your cultivation is so low?" Ye Xiuyuan asked.
"I need a lot of spirit stones, so I must enter the Demon Beast Forest." The youth said.
Zhou Wu asked, "What's your name?" ”
The young man looked at Zhou Wu and replied, "In the next Zhou Yan." ”
"Zhou Yan! He actually has the same surname as our sect master. Yang Zilan said softly.
Zhou Wu said: "Zhou Yan, a good name, you should know, the three of us, which one of us has a much stronger cultivation than you, why should we choose a lower cultivation than us and enter the forest with us?" ”
Zhou Yan clenched his fists, he had been looked down upon since he was a child, and now in the face of the three of them, he felt contempt, but thinking that he needed the spirit stone very much, his clenched fists were released again.
"Yes, my cultivation is not as good as the three, but I am resistant to beating, and when I encounter danger, I can stand up to the three of you."
"The cultivation is so low, the tone is not small......"
Ye Xiuyuan wanted to continue, but was stopped by Zhou Wu.
"Okay, I can promise you to join our team, but if you encounter danger, we will not care about you, of course, you can get what you get by entering the forest, you can divide it into two layers." Zhou Wu Zhengse.
"Brother Zhou, this kid is just in the Qi training period, I have too much to divide him, you are turning your elbow outward." Ye Xiuyuan complained.
"Lao Ye, everything has to be looked forward, this kid is willing to accompany us into the forest, and, I think, although this kid can't fight, but he can carry it, just for this kid to dare to use his body to stand in front of us This courage has to show our sincerity, right?" Zhou Wu said.
Although Ye Xiuyuan was puzzled, Yang Zilan had already seen Zhou Wu's thoughts, and said, "Senior Ye, I believe that the sect master's choice will not be wrong." ”
"Okay, okay, anyway, my life is all picked up by the sect master, you can share it as you like, anyway, my share, don't miss mine." After speaking, Ye Xiuyuan got up and went back to the room.
"Thanks, may I ask when we are leaving?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Three days later, we assembled outside the city." Zhou Wu said.
"Okay." After speaking, Zhou Yan turned around and left, and as soon as he took a step, his stomach rumbled and screamed, which happened to be heard by Zhou Wu.
"Hey, Zhou Yan."
"Is there anything else you can do?" Zhou Yan turned around and asked.
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like to sit down and eat together? Zhou Wu said with a smile.
Zhou Yan was stunned, looked at the delicious food on the table, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he wanted to eat it very much, but his strong character told him that he couldn't sit down.
"Sit down, can't we let our buddies go into the forest with us hungry, right? You said that when you encounter danger, you will use your body to push in front of you, hungry, how do you stand up? You've got to think about our safety, come here. Zhou Wu said.
Zhou Wu's words made Zhou Yan come over, sit opposite Zhou Wu, his eyes glanced at Zhou Wu and Yang Zilan, and said in a slurred voice: "I! I don't have any money! ”
"Haha, this meal, count it as mine, in addition, there are a thousand spirit stones in this storage bag, you can use them first, and when you come out of the forest, just deduct this money spirit stone from your two layers."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, holding the storage bag, excited: "You're not afraid, I ran away with the spirit stone?" ”
"It's only a thousand spirit stones, even if you run away, it's nothing, and besides, you said that you need spirit stones very much, this thousand spirit stones should be far from enough for you." Yang Zilan said with a smile.
Zhou Yan was a little ashamed and looked at Zhou Wu.
"Let's eat." Zhou Wu said with a smile.
Only then did Zhou Yan let go of his hands and feet and ate happily, as if he hadn't eaten for several years.
"Eat slowly, it's not enough." Zhou Wu said as he recruited the clerk and kept serving meat for Zhou Yan, and slowly, the more Zhou Wu looked, the more surprised he became.
"This guy can even eat better than Yao Mei's little girl! Is it also an innate divine power? If it is really the innate divine power of the earth spirit root! This kid's talent is not under Yao Mei! ”
In less than an hour, Zhou Yan ate the meat of a cow, which shocked Zhou Wu and Yang Zilan so much that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
At this time, the clerk came to Zhou Wu's side and whispered: "Guest officer, you don't know yet, this guy, in the medicine city, is a bottomless pit, except for great strength, it is useless, just because he eats too much, his father abandoned their mother and son when he was very young, and his mother, it is said that he suffered from a strange disease and needed pills to suppress the disease, he is looking for a team to enter the forest every day, but because of his low cultivation, no one looks down on him, you look for him to form a team, I'm afraid it will be delayed." ”
Zhou Wu smiled and said, "It seems that I have encountered a rice bucket." ”
"Isn't that right, you need to pay three thousand two hundred spirit stones for this meal, excuse me, do you still need to continue to serve meat?" When the clerk quoted the price, his tone was full of disdain.
Zhou Wu's face sank, glanced at the clerk, and said, "Continue to go up until he is full." ”
After eating the amount of food from a cow, Zhou Yan patted his stomach, his face was still unsatisfied, but fortunately, Zhou Wu called the clerk again, and the food came up again.
It was the first time for Zhou Wu to eat so comfortably, eating meat, that was something he had never dared to think of since he was a child, and now, he felt a little dreamy and unreal, but he was indeed eating meat.
After eating enough of the food of three cows, Zhou Yan showed a satisfied smile.
"Full?" Zhou Wu asked tentatively.
Zhou Wu had a mouthful of grease stains, revealing a row of big white teeth, and said, "Reluctantly, half full, thank you for treating me." ”
When Zhou Wu heard this, he almost fell to the ground.
"I originally thought that Yao Mei was already invincible in the world, but I didn't think that there were more powerful people than her!"
