Chapter 67: Elixir Dragon's Blood
Liang Mutou and Meng Tiandu each rode a tall pure black steed and stood on the top of a high hillside.
Looking at the Hu caravan at the foot of the mountain from a distance, which had already repacked and re-embarked on the road, Meng Tian said to Liang Mutou easily: "Today, the Python Bandit Group also suffered heavy casualties, and they are not as good as the Hu caravan and have horses and carriages to travel. They shouldn't be looking for trouble again in the next two days, and we should be able to go to Yanjing with peace of mind. ”
Liang Mutou held the map in his hand, looked at it carefully, and replied leisurely: "Well, but, before going to Yanjing, tonight, we have to go to Caojiazhai in Tianbao Lake, fifty miles away?"
Meng Tian suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, there should be no way for the Python Desolate Bandit Group to attack alone. Unless, they borrow horses or people from Caojiazhai. Haha, let's go and burn down Caojiazhai and their cottage to see how they still do evil. ”
Liang Mutou said with a cold expression: "I heard the second son of the Tang family say to Mu Jian that day, this Cao Kun's martial arts strength is far inferior to Mu Jian and Akiyama Yuan's generation, and his martial arts cultivation is only a fifth-order post-rank. You just put it on fire, and you're satisfied. ”
When Meng Tian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and said: "Wood, you mean that we are going to Caojiazhai to kill! Okay, this Cao Kun is not a good bird, he actually colluded with bandits, killed people and plundered goods. Gotta kill him tonight. ”
"As long as we can get ahead of Akiyama Yuan and them and go to Caojiazhai, no matter what you want to do, does Cao Kun have any other ability to stop you?" Liang Mutou said with a murderous aura.
Meng Tian excitedly clamped his feet on the horse's belly, and with a gust of wind, he ran down the mountain, shouting: "Then what are we waiting for, go...... Wood, let's compete to see whose horse is faster, and go to Caojiazhai first. ”
Mao time
It's just nightfall.
Tianbao Lake is more than 150 miles away from Floating Water City, and it is also the largest freshwater lake within a few hundred miles of the nearby wasteland forest.
There is a small village and town of more than 1,000 people by the lake, called Tianbao Village, the village is backed by two big mountains behind the village, and in front of it is Tianbao Lake, and there is only one road to enter the village.
The bazaar in Tempo Village is very lively, and many mercenary groups, adventurers, and hunters trade goods here.
To the west of the city is the wasteland forest, and to the north is the territory of Mitsui Abe, one of the four great generals of Fuso Kingdom, and there is constant friction with the floating water city of the Yan country, so the two sides often close the border and strictly check the population. In desperation, some hunters and adventurers around the city would go to great lengths in order not to enter the city to sell goods, and would generally choose to trade goods and supply some necessities in this Tianbao Village.
Caojiazhai's station mountain is in the mountain more than ten miles behind Tianbao Village, and Cao Kun was forced to hide here after committing an accident in Yanguo.
Cao Kun's Caojiazhai is different from Lei Feifei's Leijiazhai, Leijiazhai will have a lot of benefits just by receiving adventurers in the wasteland forest, Caojiazhai is only ten miles away from Tianbao Village, where trade goods are thriving, there is no way to repeat the transaction of goods, and can only rely on a group of people in their own cottage to hunt wild beasts in the wasteland forest for a living, barely self-sufficient.
Cao Kun later relied on Akiyama Yuan to earn a lot of ill-gotten gains.
At nightfall, on the streets of Tianbao Village, there are many customers in several restaurants, among which the largest one is Tianbao Liu Kee's restaurant with the best business, which can accommodate more than 20 tables and the two-story restaurant is basically full.
The entire second floor of Tianbao Liu Ji Restaurant is noisy and full of all kinds of people, and there are two young people sitting at a square table with the best scenery near the window, one of them is sitting with his back against the stairs, this person is majestic and majestic, just looking at the back can make people feel his intimidating momentum, compared with him, the other teenager is a little thinner, his face is fair, and his temperament is elegant, but the expression on his face is indifferent, as if nothing can arouse his interest.
The two of them looked dusty and tired, and the two ordered a large table of dishes, and as soon as the dishes came up, they buried their heads in eating.
The mighty young man among the two seemed to be full after eating, and then he called for a pot of wine, took the pot of wine and a cup, and poured himself a drink there, very leisurely, and the young man saw that the thin young man was still eating, so he muttered to himself: "Wood, I really don't know, how can you eat six people alone?"
The young man looked up and glanced at him lightly, and he immediately shut up, and the young man continued to eat with his head buried in it.
There were three people sitting at a table next to them, two or three small dishes on the wine table, and there were already four or five bottles of wine, and they were a little drunk and spoke very loudly. One of them, a short middle-aged man who was a little obscene, shook his head and said, "Do you know, the third eldest of the Zhang family hunter at the back of our Tianbao Village has made a fortune, he dug up a medicinal herb called dragon blood and sold it for five thousand gold coins. ”
"Five thousand gold coins, what medicinal materials are worth so much money, the junior of the Zhang family is really lucky, now one gold coin can be exchanged for one thousand Yan coins, five thousand gold coins, he can go to Floating Water City to buy a lot of land, and be a little rich man in peace." ”
The obscene middle-aged man glanced at them with slanted eyes, as if he looked down on their ignorance, and sneered: "Five thousand gold coins is too much? That dragon blood strain is a rare treasure with miraculous medicinal effects, a treasure that is hard to find, and something that is priceless, do you understand? Even if it costs a million gold coins, someone will buy it? Only after selling a mere five thousand gold coins, Zhang Laosan has suffered a big loss!"
The other two were a little unconvinced, and said suspiciously: "Brother Huang Liu, have you drunk too much, something worth millions of gold coins? Is it a treasure of heaven and earth? Can it be brought back to life? Why haven't you heard of it, dragon blood strain?"
"Hmph, look at your appearance that you haven't seen the world, and the dragon blood strain doesn't know?" After speaking, Huang Lao Liu raised his wine glass and raised his head to kill it, then put the empty glass on the table, and pointed a little with his fingers. The other man immediately picked up the flask and helped him fill it up.
Huang Lao Liuzhi said proudly: "Do you know, why do most of us ordinary people have no future? Why? Is it because we are not hardworking? Is it because we are not talented? No, in the final analysis, it is because ...... We are poor. The armor, rune weapons, and weapons of the nobles and wealthy merchants are all stronger than us, and if their talent is not good, they can also use medicine to improve their cultivation skills, but what about us, who have worked hard all their lives, but their martial arts cultivation can't catch up with them!"
The other person was slightly obese, a little impatient, and said, "Sixth Uncle, you are drunk, we asked you about the dragon blood strain, where did you go?"
Huang Lao Liu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Now I'm just talking about the dragon blood strain...... When it comes to the medicinal properties of that dragon's blood strain, it's like it's specially arranged for the rich, and it's useless for us poor people to ask for it!"
"Hey, why do you say that?"
"The children of the rich are not talented, they can rely on a large number of medicines, pills, and crystals to improve their skills. But the old lady is still a little fair, sometimes, those rich people's children take too much tonic, and they are not replenished, and there are many people who explode and die, and there are many people who go crazy. And even if the skill of taking the pill is improved, the realm and actual combat ability still have not gone up, and it is just a fist embroidered leg. And the most critical point is that very few people who rely on medicine to improve their strength can cultivate to the ninth order of the martial arts, and even if they reach the ninth order of the martial arts, it is completely impossible to advance to the spiritual path. ”
The fat man said: "Sixth uncle, we all know that you have learned this, you have improved your skills by relying on medicinal pills, but if your martial arts cultivation realm and perception have not been improved, you can't be promoted to the spiritual path, if you forcibly promote the spiritual path, you must go through the Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation when you are promoted, and you will also chop him to death." ”
Huang Lao Liu raised his eyebrows and said: "That's because they don't have a dragon blood strain, those martial arts eighth-order ones have to be promoted to the ninth order, and those of the ninth order of martial arts have to be promoted to the spiritual path, if they have a dragon blood strain, they can have a great chance of being promoted successfully, because, the dragon blood strain has the magical effect of improving perception." ”
The two people who were eating at the same table gasped and were shocked: "Really, the medicinal effect of the dragon blood strain is so ungodly!"
"Hmph, otherwise, how could I say that the junior of the old Zhang family sold it too cheaply, only five thousand gold coins. Dragon blood strain, that's the anti-heaven elixir that can create a spiritual path master. Our Yan Kingdom is just a small country in the wilderness, there are only four spiritual masters in total, and they have all traveled the world and disappeared into the world. There are only eight or nine people who have cultivated to the ninth rank of the martial arts, and they are all famous figures, so what is a million gold coins to them? If they know about it, or if their disciples and grandchildren know about the dragon blood strain, what is the gold and silver wealth to them?"
At this time, a sweet and greasy voice asked, "Dare to ask this brother, who owns the dragon blood strain you said now?"
Because Huang Lao Liu's voice was relatively loud, and the level of heavenly and earthly treasures of the dragon blood strain was extremely attractive, the guests on the entire second floor had been listening to their chatter. Suddenly, someone interjected to ask, and the eyes of the audience focused on her.
Everyone's eyes lit up, especially the obscene Huang Laoliu's eyes were glowing with lewdness, he swallowed his saliva in his throat, and stared at the woman tightly.
The girl is pretty and standing, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate melon seed face, Peugeot facial features, a luxurious and fiery red suit, a slender waist, and a plump and amazing upper circumference, exuding sultry style and unparalleled charm everywhere.
For the eyes of the audience staring at her body, the woman in red didn't seem to have any discomfort, she knew that she was ** for men, and she was used to men's infatuation with her.
