Chapter 11: The Black Stone

"Brother Xia Yang, there is a town in front. In the evening, after several hours of running, the summer sun finch finally saw the faintly undulating rows of building outlines in front, shining in the golden light of the setting sun, and the finch shouted with joy.

"Yes, this is Lizhou Town, but it's a big town. Xia Yang looked at the somewhat tired finch and said with a smile: "You are also a little tired from such a hurry, let's go to the town to rest for a while." ”

Lizhou Town is indeed one of the famous big towns in Jiuding City, and even has a slight reputation in the entire Chuanyun Empire. It is not only an ancient town with a long history, but also famous for the treacherous Lizhou Mountains behind the town. It is rumored that medicinal herbs are abundant in the Lizhou Mountain Range, and there are also various primordial beasts.

Primal beasts, different from ordinary beasts. Rather, under the growth of time, it can devour the vitality between heaven and earth and cultivate on its own! Cultivation is the same as the division of cultivators, but its attacks and defenses are much more terrifying. There is a chance that there is a chance of the Beast Pill being present in their body, and the Beast Pill is also an extremely rare medicinal material. Xia Yang still had more than a dozen beast pills on his body, because there were quite a few Yuan Beasts during the period when he encountered the Xuanluo Realm on the Golden Terrace.

Therefore, there are many herb pickers and hunters in the Lizhou Mountains.

However, the danger of the Lizhou Mountains is like a nightmare! Here, almost no one dares to guarantee that they will get in and out!

However, in the face of cruel blood, there are still many people who come forward to survive. It has made Lizhou Town one of the few prosperous towns in Jiuding City.

"This is Lizhou Town?" surprise flashed in the eyes of the finch, and he smiled: "I'm not tired, I heard that there are a lot of medicinal herbs sold in this Lizhou Town, Brother Xia Yang, let's go and have a look." ”

"Well, okay, go check it out. Xia Yang smiled helplessly. This medicinal herb is different from herbal medicine, it is not something they can afford, but the beast pill on their body may still be able to sell.

Entering the town, towering pavilions rise on both sides of the street, and the streets are full of colorful rows and noisy shouts... It really deserves to be a bustling town.

Xia Yang and the others came to a business place in the town through the crowd.

In front of him stands a huge building ten zhang high, in the center of the building wall, the four big characters of 'Lizhou Shangji' shine in the sun. Underneath the building, there is a huge square. Rows of stalls in the square are connected, and the crowd is surging.

"It's a lot bigger than our market in Longquan Town. Looking at the lively scene in front of him, the finch couldn't help but be amazed.

"Let's go over there and have a look. Xia Yang casually pointed to the far right row of stalls.

"Guest, do you want to buy vegetables? Our fresh vegetables are good. While walking, a lady suddenly introduced enthusiastically.

"No, I can't buy groceries. Xia Yang turned around and shook his head, and said with a polite smile: "It's getting dark this day, let's buy rice." ”

"Rice?" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled briskly: "Yes, yes, sweet and delicious authentic Lizhou Town rice, one silver coin per catty." As he spoke, he dragged a bag of rice out from under the stall!

"Wow~" Xia Yang was surprised, and hurriedly said briskly: "Okay, come to a catty." ”

Silver coins, like gold coins, are also the currency circulating in the Shenmen Continent, and ten silver coins are equivalent to one gold coin.

"Okay. With a bright smile on her face, the lady picked up the scale rod and weighed the white rice...

Playing with a small cloth bag of rice, Xia Yang and the two slowly walked to the rightmost row of stalls.

Xia Yang's eyes lit up, and his face was incredulous, unexpectedly, this entire endless row of stalls were trading medicinal herbs! A fragrant smell was also smellable in the crowd! But he didn't see any beast pills for sale.

"Brother Xia Yang. The finch said timidly, "The finch really doesn't understand, what are you buying rice for?"

"I heard that the taste of rice in this town is very good, so it's good to taste it. Xia Yangfeng said lightly, but his eyes were carefully looking at these stalls... It was found that most of the people who dealt in these medicinal herbs were burly strong men and slightly older middle-aged people, and almost all of them were cultivators, and some even had blood stains on their bodies. They remained silent, leaning back in their chairs and closing their eyes, waiting for the buyer to inquire himself.

After walking for a while, although there were a lot of people in this row of stalls, it was a little quiet.

"Brother Xia Yang, look at the old man in sackcloth, there is only one medicinal herb on his stall. The finch beside him couldn't help but be curious, although he didn't know anything about this, he also knew that no one would take a medicinal herb to do business.

"A medicinal herb?" Xia Yang followed the gaze of the finch, and saw that in the far corner, sure enough, an old man in linen was lying on the long bamboo chair with his eyes closed, the stall in front of him was empty, and he shook his head and smiled: "It's not a medicinal herb, see the palm-sized gray skin next to the medicinal herb, that is the beast pill, and the black stone, it should also have some value." ”

"That's the Beast Pill?!" The finch stared at the boss with a shocked expression: "So, the old man in sackcloth can kill the Yuan Beast?"

"It should work. Xia Yang's soul power cautiously tested, but he didn't sense the vitality of the old man's body at all, and said softly: "Go and see." ”

Coming to the old man's stall in the corner, Xia Yang squatted down slightly and carefully looked at the medicinal materials...

I saw that this medicinal herb was one foot long, and the roots were densely swirled, and it had dried up, but the aromatic fragrance it emitted made Xia Yang a little intoxicated.

Then I deliberately looked at the black and black thing the size of half a palm, and it really looked like a thin stone, neat and regular hexagonal diamond shape.

Quietly looking at it for a long time... Under the sun, there seems to be a very thin layer of shiny crystals on this hexagonal diamond-shaped black stone, which is faint and very difficult to find. Xia Yang's thoughts are swirling... I finally remembered that when I entered the Golden Terrace, there was almost the same black diamond-shaped stone on the palm of the extremely thin instructor, but it was countless times smaller, the size of a fingernail. And it seems that something in the Golden Terrace was activated with that black stone...!

Thinking of this, Xia Yang's heart was suddenly full of trembling excitement, and his breathing was faintly short! forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked in a flat voice: "Uncle, what is the price of your medicinal herb?"

"What's the price?" The old man in sackcloth half-opened his sleepy eye bags, still lying on his back on the bamboo chair, and said lazily: "What price do you kid give?"

"This 、、、" Xia Yang hesitated: "Don't hide it, the kid has five gold coins." ”

"Five gold coins?" The old man's expression barely changed, and he said casually: "It's too little, don't sell it." ”

- "What price do you want, uncle?"

"You said you only had five gold coins on you, and you asked me what price I wanted? So, you kid is clearly playing tricks on me?" The old man sat up slightly, looking at Xia Yang with a puzzled look.

Under this kind of gaze, Xia Yang felt a faint chill down his spine! He smiled very politely and bitterly: "The kid doesn't dare, the kid just wants to ask to understand." ”

"A hundred gold coins. The old man said neatly.

One hundred gold coins! Xia Yang almost vomited blood! Although he didn't know much about medicinal materials, he also knew that the general one-yuan medicinal materials ranged from a few gold coins to dozens of gold coins, and these 100 gold coins were still binary medicinal materials, so it would be worth it!

"It's expensive. Xia Yang also replied neatly.

"What? It's expensive?" The old man in sackcloth jumped up from the bamboo chair and roared excitedly: "It's expensive! Do you kid know what kind of medicinal herb Lao Tzu is?

Xia Yang and the finch were both startled! This old man was so excited!

This series of loud roars attracted the attention of many onlookers. After seeing that it was this old man, they all shook their heads disdainfully and ignored it.

Although the old man was full of foul language, Xia Yang naturally didn't care about this old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be angry, just blame the kid for looking away, besides, business is not benevolent." ”

Xia Yang's sincere attitude finally made the old man's anger disappear a little, and he said angrily: "You kid is blind, you just bring five gold coins to take a look?"

"Anyway, I can't buy this good medicinal herb. Xia Yang spread his hands, smiled helplessly, and swept his gaze on the black stone intentionally or unintentionally.

"Want to buy it?" This 'subtle' look was instantly noticed by the old man, and he was also secretly happy in his heart when he heard Xia Yang say that the good medicinal herbs were good, so he pointed to the black stone and asked teasingly.

"Nope. Xia Yang shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, you are making fun of the boy, even if the boy can't buy anything with five gold coins, he won't use it to buy this stone." ”

"Teasing you?!" The old man's face was full of anger and crimson, and he shouted excitedly: "Why did Lao Tzu make fun of you?!" Lao Tzu picked up this stone in an abyss in the Lizhou Mountain Range!

Xia Yang's heart moved slightly, and his face was innocent: "Even if the old man picked up this stone under some dangerous abyss, the kid would never spend five gold coins to buy it." ”

"So, did I make fun of you?" the old man glared at Xia Yang with more and more anger on his face.

"Since the old man said that the abyss is extremely dangerous, he must not have made fun of the boy. Xia Yang chose to give in.

"No," the old man suddenly laughed loudly, "No, okay, then you kid will buy this stone for five gold coins!"

When the stall owners of some nearby stalls heard this, they all looked strange, is this nervous old man swollen today? In the past, people asked him that this stone cost 100 gold coins, which is a lot of money! Today, he is forced to buy five gold coins? Is it because his head is confused or he can't sell it at all~

"This," Xia Yang looked deceived and said hesitantly: "This price..."

"Did I make fun of you?!~" Seeing Xia Yang's situation, the old man exerted vicious coercion!

"No, not really. Xia Yang shook his head seriously.

"To buy or not to buy?!" the old man's gaze became more and more fierce!

Xia Yang pretended to tremble slightly, and extremely reluctantly took out the only five gold coins from the money bag, and said timidly: "Since the old man didn't make fun of the kid, but, that, that kid, the kid bought it at any cost!"

"Ha Lu Ha!~" The old man laughed loudly again, snatched Xia Yang's five gold coins, threw the black stone to Xia Yang, and got carried away: "You kid take five gold coins to look at it?" Lao Tzu will earn all your five gold coins today, see if you dare to look away in the future." ”

Xia Yang's heart was so excited at this moment that his body really trembled slightly involuntarily... forcibly pressed down, carefully put the black stone into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, the kid will not dare to look away in the future." ”

"Wait! Master Ben wants that stone!" Suddenly, a rolling cheer came!
