The last time he traveled to Longwan Island, Zhang Daoling chose to go south to take a boat on the continent, and this time according to the letter he left, he asked Zhang Yuanyi to go north to take the boat to the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth and then go to the Chaohu Academy in Beiyan.

Zhang Yuanyi had heard about that famous academy during his last trip, and he was very fond of reading, which can be seen from the fact that he was able to step on Brother Dayong's shoulder and listen to Zhang Shi's lectures when he was a child.

Therefore, in his heart, he has always been very much looking forward to and even yearning to be able to study at the academy.

There are three famous academies in the world are Chaohu Academy, Yuelu Academy and Bailudong Academy, of which Chaohu Academy is in Beiyan, while Yuelu Academy and Bailudong Academy are in the Tang Dynasty, and Xuanling is none.

This is also one of the reasons why the Xuanling people are ridiculed as barbarians, you see that your Xuanling is said to be a big country but no academy is willing to stay in Xuanling, the Manchu Dynasty is full of men with big swords and armor, even the Confucian students in green shirts do not necessarily have a bit of literati style. It's very savage to shout and kill all day long!

The master's guidance is here, it seems that as long as he goes to the academy, all the problems will be solved, and many of Zhang Yuanyi's doubts will be clear.

Zhang Yuan has always believed in the master, so for the academy, in addition to the reason that he likes it, he has a new thought in it, and that thought may be what the master wants to say to him.

The Qiankun bag that Zhang Daoling left for Zhang Yuanyi had layers of prohibitions and blockades, and he could only take out a few of them at this stage. They are a map, a purple Dan furnace, a golden dust, a long sword, a golden brush, and a bunch of countless books, all kinds of things.

The map is magical, there is a red dot on the map that moves with Zhang Yuanyi's movement, and the content on it will always change around the red dot.

Zhang Yuanyi studied it, and the small red dot on it should be him, and the content of the map is his location at this moment.

He is no stranger to the purple Dan furnace and the golden whisk, they are the two things that Yuan Xi of Longwan Island first tried to tempt him to gamble last time, the Jin Guang Whisk Dust and the Ziyang Dan Furnace, he thought that the master should have specially taken it from Yuan Xi.

In fact, he was wrong, this was a gift from Yuan Xi, not in Zhang Daoling's plan.

Zhang Yuanyi still hasn't understood the role of the dust whisk for the time being, but he remembers that Yuan Xi said that this dust whisk has the effect of manned flight, and there is a function similar to the fairy rope that can bind people. As for the rest, I don't know anything else.

As for the Ziyang Dan Furnace, there was a book "Seven Star Dan Spectrum" on the side of the Ziyang Dan Furnace, which was undoubtedly alchemy.

After a brief flip through it, as he expected, the master wanted him to embark on the road of alchemy, because when he finished reading this Dan book, there was a feeling that it was specially prepared for him.

Just like ordinary people need flames to cook, the same is true of the alchemy technique, but the flames here are not real flames, but the spiritual power of cultivators.

Only those that have been refined by a cultivator and naturally generated from the body can be called spiritual power.

For example, this book records the spiritual power of the four grades of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, among which the spiritual power of the most ordinary cultivator is the yellow level, the slightly better one is the Xuan level, and the higher is the earth level, and the most cherished and rare is the heavenly level spiritual power.

The heavenly level spiritual power is recorded on this with colorful spiritual power, ghost spiritual power, and star spiritual power......

The spiritual power of the heavenly level is really pitiful, there are only a few of them, and there are more of them below the ground level, and they are dense.

Zhang Yuanyi searched for a long time, but after all, he didn't find what grade his Qinglong power belonged to, but he still felt that the grade would not be bad.

Because on the Dan spectrum, Zhang Daoling personally wrote that the Ziyang Dan Furnace must be catalyzed by the power of the Holy Beasts of the Four Directions, which must be extremely good.

When Zhang Yuan repeatedly cultivated to a certain level, he would know that the Holy Beast of the Four Directions was the refining of the origin of heaven and earth, and the power of the holy beast was also the power of heaven and earth.

The first page of the Dan spectrum is an elixir called "Nine Turns Xuanyuan Dan", and after reading it, Zhang Yuan finally knew why the master took him to pick those Xuanyuan fruits, which turned out to be used for alchemy.

Before, he didn't understand what the fruit was for, just shining and looking good, it didn't seem to be of any use, but now it seems that he was wrong, and every step the master did for him was arranged by him.

That long sword, Zhang Yuan left tears at the first sight of it, it was the sword Qingmeng that Zhang Daoling had been carrying.

The sword body of the star-colored sword, with the golden seal on it, is extremely lightweight, but it does not make people feel weak and powerless when swinging the sword, it is really a rare fairy sword.

As for the golden brush, there are two small characters of Chaohu engraved on the barrel of the pen, which looks very gratifying, and Zhang Yuanyi quickly understood that this should be a token of Chaohu Academy or something.

Zhang Yuanyi and Su Su have been away from Jewelry Town for a while, and they are about to arrive at the grass and tree ferry port that is known as the "flower and grass capital" with the southern Huawukou.

Compared with the current grass and wood ferry port of Huawukou, it is obviously much more prosperous, on the one hand, there are constant wars in the south, and even if there are occasional conflicts with the Tang Dynasty in the north, it is relatively much more peaceful.

On the other hand, Huawukou has been out of service for a period of time, and now it has not recovered so quickly.

Zhang Yuanyi and Su Su were really tired after a long journey, so they first found an inn to rest, and planned to find a boat tomorrow to set off for Middle-earth Datang.

Taking advantage of Su Su's rest, Zhang Yuanyi studied the Dan spectrum by himself.

"The Nine Turns Xuanyuan Pill is the main material of the ancient thousand-year-old Xuanyuan Fruit, and then combined with the hundred-year-old snake blood grass, the hundred-year-old Yang Underworld Grass, the thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Grass and the ten-year Heavenly Soul Grass, the spiritual power is continuous for three days and three nights, and the final color is bright red. ”

He has Xuanyuan fruit, but he has never even heard of these other immortal herb elixirs, although there are illustrations in the back, but where to find it?

Just when Zhang Yuanyi was distressed, he patted his head and said happily: "Zhang Yuanyi, are you stupid, you are now at the largest herbal medicine ferry in Xuanling, Caomu Ferry, you are actually thinking about where to find herbs?"

Saying that, he got up, saw that Su Su was sleeping soundly, and sneaked out.

At night, the ferry port is bustling with activity, with red lanterns hanging between the various buildings, and the whole ferry port is brightly lit.

He casually walked around the ferry and finally found a herb shop.

As soon as he entered the store, Zhang Yuanyi smelled a refreshing fragrance and lingered.

There were few customers in the shop, only a few people were selecting medicinal herbs, and there was a short old man with a stooping body sitting on a tall stool, adjusting something on the counter.

Zhang Yuan looked at the medicinal herbs placed outside, but he didn't find the few he wanted, he walked to the old man's side, took out a list he had made and asked, "Is there any such herbs here?"

The old man took the list and squinted his eyes to examine it carefully, and suddenly a fine light flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Zhang Yuanyi, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with his herbs, and said slowly: "You are traveling down the mountain for the first time, and you don't know that immortal herbs and ordinary herbs are completely different concepts." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan knew this, he followed his master out once, and the two of them were in a hurry before, where did they have time to popularize and understand these.

He is really a novice in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't understand these rules at all.

In order to save some trouble, he scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah, it is indeed the first time to go down the mountain, please ask the old gentleman to explain the rules for me." Under the grateful. ”

The old man didn't look up and said, "Mortals have mortal lives, cultivators have cultivators' worlds, mortal herbs and cultivators' immortal medicines are completely incomparable. Therefore, there will be a special place to sell the herbs of the fairy family, and that place is generally called the fairy market, which is a serious place to trade fairy grass. ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, this is the same as in Longwan Island, divided into the territory of mortals and the territory of cultivators, he hugged his fists and thanked: "I see, thank you for your advice!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan knew this, he was about to leave to find the so-called immortal market.

"Wait!" the old man suddenly stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, young man, although I am an ordinary herb shop, but who told you that I don't sell the herbs of the immortal family? I happen to have one herb here." ”

Zhang Yuanyi was overjoyed, "Is this true?"

The old man gave him a blank look, "Is it true that my old man is still talking about it?"

That's really good, it just saves Zhang Yuanyi a lot of effort, I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing for the first time, I really didn't expect it.

The old man shouted upstairs, "Ah Fu, take down the medicine box in my attic!"

Someone above responded, "Okay!"

Before the man came down, the old man looked at Zhang Yuanyi and asked, "What kind of school is the teacher?"

Zhang Yuanyi couldn't answer, "Old man, this ......"

The old man glanced at Zhang Yuan and said, "Forget it, I know that there are many rules on your mountain, so don't talk about it." ”

He continued: "I know all your herbs, snake blood grass and yang herb, they are all rare and precious herbs in the world, and they are all expensive. Snake Blood Grass grows on the islands of the Endless Sea all year round, and it is occupied by sea beasts, especially the Red Jade Flame Snake, and those who are not at the top of the realm are not allowed to fight with it. Yang Underworld Grass grows in the Middle Earth Ghost Snake, which is to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and with the unique spirit of the Ghost Dragon, it is possible to give birth to a plant with a very small probability, and the rarity can be imagined. As for the Fire Spirit Grass and the Heavenly Soul Grass, I haven't even heard of it, what kind of pill needs these herbs?"

Zhang Yuanyi himself was shocked by what he said, "I didn't expect these things to be so precious." ”

He replied, "The sect needs it, and I am just ordering it to procure." ”

At this moment, a sturdy man came down with a small box in his hand.

The old man carefully took the box and said, "Although I am not a cultivator, I also fantasized about cultivation when I was young, and I risked my life to get such a Yang Yin Grass by luck, but the mortal body resists these ghosts and ghosts after all, licking blood from the tip of the knife, so that now my old body seems to be broken, and I can't stand up." ”

Zhang Yuan knew at once, these are all things that have no choice, after all, the so-called wealth and danger are sought in danger, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there is no need to pity anything, after all, it is their own choice.

The old man slowly opened the box, for fear of hurting the herbs inside, "I have hidden this thing for many years, but I am only a mortal, it is really useless to keep it, now I am a dying person, it is better to sell it for a good price, and bring a wealth to my descendants." ”

As he said this, the old man kept looking at the sturdy man with a kind face.

The man seemed to be born with a poor mind, and he smirked honestly.

Zhang Yuanyi didn't pay attention to this, he looked at this Yang Ying Grass carefully, it was indeed what it looked like in the diagram, but it was more real.

There is a thumb-sized white pearl at the upper end of the Yang Ying Grass, it is not accurate to say that it is a pearl, it is more like a small ball of light, the ball of light suddenly flashes white light, and suddenly flashes black light, like the alternation of day and night.

Zhang Yuanyi opened his mouth and asked, "Old gentleman, let's make a price." ”

The old man held out three fingers.

Zhang Yuanyi took out the money from his pocket, "Three Qingxiao coins, a good deal." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's thirty Bixiao coins." ”

Zhang Yuanyi's hand took the money and squeaked, almost didn't spill the money inside, he blinked his eyes and said, "This ...... So expensive?!"

The old man smiled, "It's just a few Bixiao coins added to the market price, you have to know that this thing has a price, and it's not a matter of a few dollars to really sell it." ”

The master left him a total of one Zixiao Coin and forty Bixiao Coins, plus his savings from his last trip, which only added up to two Zixiao Coin and forty-six Bixiao Coins.

Can you not feel distressed to spend thirty Bixiao coins at once?

The old man looked at Zhang Yuanyi's expression and said, "Don't worry, when you go to Xianshi, you can inquire about the price yourself, if the old man has deceived you a little, you can come back to me to settle the account." ”

Zhang Yuanyi hesitated for a while, and thought: "Yes, anyway, the monk can't run away from the temple, and the pharmacy can't escape after all." ”

So he handed over the money, put the medicine box into a Qiankun bag and left.

The old man is accustomed to it, and it is very normal for a cultivator to have a Qiankun bag.
