Chapter 41: The Treasure
Biyun Mountain is a small hill in the remnants of the North Ross Mountain, with beautiful scenery.
There used to be a small faction in Biyun Mountain, but it was abandoned after the decline could not be maintained.
The nine sects and twelve sects in the vicinity, each of which wanted to take it for themselves, and no one could help anyone after the open and secret robbery, so it was only as a last resort that these twenty-one sects were changed to a cultivation world, and an exchange event was held every ten years.
The Fang market and the grand event are all in the bustling Biyun Town at the foot of the mountain, and Biyun Mountain is the residence of the 21st faction.
Yuan Ding stood on the bow of the boat and saw the appearance of the town from a distance, and exclaimed: "This is a town, this is clearly a city." ”
But seeing the surging flow of people in the city, the traffic on the streets, the prosperity is no less than the bustling commercial streets of those first-tier cities on the earth.
There is no difference between the whole city, as long as you are in the city, you can do business anywhere. Even the stalls in the city couldn't be crowded, and the stalls outside the city gate were set up for five or six miles.
From time to time, monks will land outside the city with different flying magic weapons, and along the stalls, crowding people into the city.
Yuan Ding was a little surprised to find that there were still a lot of mortals in the crowd of people who were following him.
How did he know that in this realm of Middle Earth, there are not many true mortals, according to the basic cultivation method promulgated by the Taizu of the current dynasty, almost everyone is in the Qi refining period, but most of them are in the low-level Qi refining period.
But these people already have qi in their bodies, and they can use the treasures refined by the monks.
The treasure is a magic weapon inlaid with spirit stones, and mortals can operate low-level magic weapons by stimulating the spiritual power of spirit stones.
These ritual instruments have been used in almost every aspect of people's lives. For example, when the weather is hot, buy a treasure that can stimulate the cold, which is no less than the air conditioner of the earth.
Yuan Ding did not wear a mask at this time, he landed outside the city, collected the treasure ship, and slowly moved towards the city with the flow of people.
The taxes of the stalls outside the city are much lower than those in the city, but there are relatively few good things, and they are generally utensils used by low-level monks and mortals.
The movement of people should be more regular, the Jincheng on the left naturally looks at the stalls on the left, and the stalls on the right go out of the city.
After walking the Lixu Road, the only useful thing Yuan Ding saw was a treasure that pressed rice noodles, and there were no spirit stones in it.
Yuan Ding asked the price, but it was okay, it was not expensive, only a hundred yuan.
After Yuan Ding paid, he naturally asked the boss about the grinding treasure, and the boss pointed inside: "Just go one more mile." ”
The boss was curious: "You monks still have to cook for themselves?" ”
Yuan Ding said: "Some personal hobbies, some really don't do it, but I always like to do it myself." ”
Anyway, they had already started talking, Yuan Ding simply inquired about some more things, and said: "Boss, I see that you are also mortal, and these treasures are not something that mortals can make." ”
The boss said: "My treasure is specially purchased from the monks who know how to refine weapons, not that I blow it, there are many monks who can refine weapons, but there are really few individual monks who specialize in building treasures." Each of the treasures I entered was of the highest quality. ”
Yuan Ding said: "Boss, isn't that a monk who can refine weapons very rich?" ”
The boss said: "That's natural, rich monks are refiners except for alchemy." No, you're a monk, you don't know such a simple thing? ”
Yuan Ding smiled bitterly: "There's no way, I've been practicing with my teacher, how can I know these things." ”
The boss said: "No wonder, the second generation of repair." You people have this and that, but you are not grounded. ”
Yuan Ding said: "It's not, I only care about cultivation, where do I know these trivial things." By the way, boss, is there anything special about this Biyun Mountain event? ”
The boss said: "If you want to say that the special place is naturally an auction once every three days, as long as you have money there, let alone any magic elixir, even the cultivation furnace can also be bought." ”
Yuan Ding was shocked: "What? Didn't the Great Xuan Dynasty prohibit the sale of human beings? ”
The boss said: "The Great Xuan Dynasty prohibits smuggling of people, as long as you have a slave contract, buying and selling is not prohibited." ”
Yuan Ding understood, what kind of slave contract, isn't this just to collect taxes.
The boss looked at the sky and said, "Today's auction may not have started yet, if you go now, it should be too late." ”
Yuan Ding looked at the slowly moving flow of people and said, "Forget it, there are so many people, I'm afraid it's over." ”
The boss said: "Yes, I see that you are also new here, it is better to take a look around, take a look, and wait for the next auction." ”
Yuan Ding thought so, said goodbye to the boss, and continued to walk towards the city gate.
Along the way, Yuan Ding bought a set of self-heating teapots with six insulated teacups, a pot that could be heated by himself, and a frying scoop.
You can't always cook with a golden bowl.
Although he brought a set of pots and bowls in Xuanwei Dongtian, the pot is an ordinary pot, not a treasure.
Only then did he finally walk to the stall selling mills, but Yuan Ding looked at it and found that there was no mill for grinding dragon tooth rice.
When Yuan Ding asked about his doubts, the boss who sold the mill was stunned.
Here's what he said: "Does dragon tooth rice need to be ground into flour to make rice noodles?" Aren't you tyrannical, or are you entertaining me? ”
Yuan Ding said: "I'm full, what are you doing to entertain you, if you don't, there will be no more." He was about to leave, but he turned back and asked, "Are you guys custom-made?" ”
The boss said: "Naturally, it can be customized, you don't really want to grind dragon tooth rice." ”
Yuan Ding didn't answer, but said, "It's good if it can be customized, how much does it cost?" How many days can it be done? ”
The boss said: "The master who makes treasures is not far from here, if it's fast, it's three or four days, the deposit is 100 yuan, and the treasure is 700 yuan." ”
Yuan Ding quickly paid the deposit and said, "I'll pick it up at this time in four days." ”
Yuan Ding looked at the direction of the city gate and found that there was still more than a mile to reach the city gate, so he continued to move forward surrounded by the crowd.
Yuan Ding looked at the stalls one by one, and there was nothing he liked, thinking that the stalls outside the city were not as good as those in the city.
When Yuan Ding used to read online immortal cultivation novels, the protagonist in it went to the roadside stall and either met a treasure map or a legendary treasure, why did he come here with a few treasures?
Could it be that it was opened in the wrong way?
He condensed Zhenyuan's eyes again, and looked at it from stall to stall, hey, don't say it, there really isn't a good thing.
Yuan Ding had to sigh and give up the search.
Finally, he was squeezed to the city gates. Those who want to enter the city have to queue up to register, but luckily there are three places to register, and the registration is extremely fast, so the queue is not long.
Soon it was Yuan Ding's turn, and the registered monk asked, "Name?" ”
Yuan Dingdao; "Yuan Ding."
"Sect?"
Neither the Qingwei faction nor the Shangqing faction Yuan Ding could say anything, so he said, "Scattered cultivation." ”
"Pay a spirit stone to enter the city." The monk said coldly.
Yuan Ding asked suspiciously, "Why did that person enter for one or two pieces of silver just now?" ”
The monk said, "A mortal has a tael of silver, and a monk has a spirit stone." ”
Yuan Ding reluctantly paid a spirit stone, and entered the city a little annoyed, thinking, how can this Biyun Festival last for a long time, and it is really unreasonable to pay the spirit stone.
Although this place is called Biyun Town, Yuan Ding thinks that it is more appropriate to call it Biyun City, this city does not have an urn city, and when you enter the city gate, there are long main streets, and there are shops on both sides of the main street, but more are stalls.
Although most of the stalls on the main street are messed up, many peers still get together, for example, those who buy weapons gather around the weapon shop, and those who sell alchemy materials such as elixir and animal bones sell pills and pills gather in front of the pharmacy, which can be regarded as a gathering of similar things.
Not far from the city gate, there is a pill shop, the name of the shop is Huimin Hall. In front of the pharmacy, there were seven or eight stalls selling pills, pills, and alchemy materials.
Yuan Ding was hit hard by the stall outside the city, so he went directly into the pharmacy to see if there was any pill suitable for him.
Who knew that when he went in, he knew that this Huimin Hall did not benefit the people at all, and the price of each pill was marked before, and the lowest was a spirit stone.
You must know that at this price now, a spirit stone can be exchanged for ten taels of gold. Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to cultivate, the price of the cultivation world is not friendly to ordinary people at all, and they have even become assassins.
Yuan Ding was more curious about the demon pill in the pharmacy, which was a kind of monster inner pill of different colors and sizes, or oval or oblate, most of which were obtained by demon hunters hunting demon beasts in the wilderness or the sea. There are roughly two kinds of elixirs cultivated by this thing, one can increase cultivation, and the other can be used against enemies.
Yuan Ding didn't dare to finish shopping in the pharmacy and came out in a daze, it seems that the stall is more suitable for him.
Yuan Ding carefully looked at the elixirs placed on the stall, and found that none of them were old, and they could only refine some basic pills taken by Qi refining period cultivators. However, Yuan Ding bought a lot of elixir seeds from various bosses.
There are Peiyuan Dan, Qi Replenishing Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, and Nourishing Divine Pill, and the most expensive ones are Qi Inducing Pill and Poison Pill.
As the name suggests, the Qi Inducing Pill is used for junior monks to induce qi, and the Poison Pill is not a poison that can be dissolved, but it is still aimed at erysipelas, that is, erysipelas caused by taking pills.
Pei Yuan Dan, Qi Replenishing Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill are obviously the pills used in the Qi refining period, these pills are not expensive, but they can't stand a large amount, and there are many people who use them.
The Divine Pill is purely to nourish the soul, Yuan Ding's soul was damaged at the beginning, if there is a Divine Pill, it will be much better.
There are even stalls that only sell Danfang, of course, most of them are still mixed, selling both Dan and Dan Fang.
When Yuan Ding passed by a stall, he was suddenly interested. He has little interest in the pills and pills on the stall, and it is the stall owner who attracts him.
The owner was a young man, plainly dressed but clean, and even pale in some places. The young man is quite handsome, but with a bronze face, it is a bit nondescript, which is thought to be caused by perennial alchemy. The boss didn't shout like others, just sat on a small bench and held a copy of the "Materia Medica" and read.
