After a deep talk, Shi Yi was a little abrupt, it turned out that the local situation in Qingguo was completely different from that of Chu and Rong Liu, there were many large and small cultivators here, and the cultivators were in the local folk, not to mention that everyone knew about it, but it was not a secret.

In addition, there are often sects that go down the mountain and choose people as disciples, and there are many lucky people among them, who are valued by the masters of the sect, and have since stepped into the path of cultivating the truth, and there are not a few such people.

Therefore, this kind of story of one person attaining the Tao and enjoying the wealth of the whole family is very widely circulated among the people, which also causes the local people in Qingguo to not panic and reject the cultivators, but to see it.

This is also the reason why the old woman is called an immortal to her teacher.

Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh, although it was only a mountain apart, he didn't expect that the difference between the people of Chu and Qing was so big.

In the conversation with the old woman, Shi Yi learned that this place is the eastern capital of Qingguo, which belongs to the easternmost part of Qingguo, because it is close to the Zhutian Mountain, and the residents of this county mostly make a living by hunting and collecting medicine.

In the old woman's family, for example, she had three sons, the eldest and the younger who both hunted for a living, and the second who collected medicine in the mountains and took it to a nearby town in exchange for money.

As for her husband, who tended to the few acres of land at home, he became the most idle one in the family.

However, according to the old woman, this way of life was very common in the neighborhood, and the fields planted by each family were sufficient to feed the family.

Most of the surplus in the family comes from the furs obtained from hunting and the medicinal herbs collected from the mountains. Even when it comes to paying taxes, the government only recognizes these two commodities except for money, especially medicinal materials, which are hard currencies in Dongdu County, so nowadays everyone is not very interested in growing food.

Shi Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, food as an important necessity of life, it can be said that it is indispensable, a county can make the people under its rule almost abandon the farmland, and even the taxes are replaced by leather goods and medicinal materials, if the chief official of this county is not stupid, then there are huge interests in it, and people can ignore these huge interests.

Sure enough, hearing the old woman's words, Shi Yi was a little clear, this Dongdu County is known as the "Medicine Town" in Qingguo, not only because of the abundance of herbs here, but also because the station of the famous alchemy sect "Baicao Sect" is in Dongdu County.

Listening to the old woman's excited story, a farmer in the neighborhood was once valued by the Baicao Sect because he picked a rare herb, and not only his son was included in the door wall, but even their family was taken to the city to enjoy happiness.

Shi Yi didn't feel strange when he heard this, sure enough, the government mobilized a county of manpower to collect medicine, and even did not hesitate to give up planting food, Baicao Sect is probably the main reason for this.

It's just that in the event of a natural disaster and a poor harvest, these low-level people are afraid that they will have to suffer.

However, Shi Yi is just thinking about it himself, looking at the old woman with a smile on her face, Shi Yi can feel that she is quite satisfied with her current life, so he doesn't want to meddle in things, everyone has their own way of living, maybe all this is just him worrying too much.

After all, she is just a village woman, and her knowledge is limited to her own life, and she can't ask anything else, but Shi Yi is already very satisfied with this.

Leaving a few taels of silver as a reward, Shi Yi refused the old woman's repeated retention, and he still decided to leave here.

Now, Shi Yi has a general impression of the distribution of towns in Dongdu County, so he decided to go to the nearby towns to have a look.

As I heard from an old woman in a casual conversation, it is the peak season for picking herbs, and there is often a mutual market for medicinal herbs in the vicinity, which attracts thousands of people from all over the world every year, not only from the vendors selling medicinal herbs, but also from many monks. Therefore, Shi Yi also plans to try his luck.

Since Shi Yi discovered the ability of the blood, he can obtain a large number of medicinal materials needed to refine the pill, although limited by Shi Yi's lame refining technique, the output of the pill has not been high, but it is more than enough for Shi Yi to use alone.

And the refining period is a process of repeatedly storing essence blood and then consuming it, as long as the pill reserves are sufficient, the cultivation will naturally not be slow.

Now, the Tyrannical Pill in Shi Yi's hand is a bit too exaggerated to say that it can be used as a meal, but the amount of Tyranny Pill he consumes every day is more than ten times that of others, and it is conceivable that his cultivation is also a thousand miles a day.

Not long ago, Shi Yi could faintly feel that he was about to touch the threshold of entering the volcanic period.

At this time, under the precautions, of course, it is necessary to start collecting the materials to be taken after entering the volcanic qi period, and this medicinal material is in line with Shi Yi's heart.

As for whether there would be Qi Inducing Grass on the mutual market, the main material for refining Naqi Pill, Shi Yi didn't care too much, because he knew that even if this precious herb appeared, he might not be able to afford it.

As long as he can buy some auxiliary medicines in the mutual market this time, Shi Yi will be satisfied.

Speaking of which, Shi Yi was also a little worried about his own financial situation, he was not short of mortal currencies such as gold and silver, and as a cultivation pill circulating among monks, he also had a lot of Tyrannical Essence Pills as inventory, and the stock was still very sufficient.

But here's the problem, his Tyrannical Pill contains poison, if it weren't for his brain pumping and wanting to make enemies, where could he trade it to others.

In short, Shi Yi's situation is a little embarrassing, he seems to be sitting on a mountain of gold, but he is still poor.

And wealth, as the first element of cultivation, is indispensable, especially as a casual cultivator, in the absence of the backing of the family sect, this word of wealth is even more important, otherwise it will not be possible to gain a foothold in this fiercely competitive and cruel cultivation realm.

There is only one way that Shi Yi can think of at present, and that is to use the ability of the blood to refine a large number of Tyrant Essence Pills, practice makes perfect, so as to increase the probability of successful refining of the pills, and then buy normal medicinal materials, and then refine them, and finally this normal pill can be used as a bargaining chip for trading.

Although it is a stupid method, it costs a lot of money, and it is estimated that only Shi Yi can use it.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi couldn't help but look forward to the mutual market of medicinal materials.

............

Shi Yi looked at the black elixir in the Dan furnace, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, it was another furnace of waste pills.

For fifteen days, Shi Yi was on the mutual market during the day, collecting the auxiliary medicines needed to refine the Tyrant Essence Pill, and working overtime at night to refine them.

It is true that in this situation of having a large number of materials to practice, Shi Yi's technique of refining pills can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds, but the success rate of Dan has always been stuck at about ninety percent.

If you are unlucky, you will also fail in a row.

Shi Yi could feel that he seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck, and no matter how much he practiced, nothing would change in a short period of time.

And the most important thing is that tomorrow seems to be the last day of the mutual market, and Shi Yi has been busy with alchemy these days, and nothing else has been found......
