Out of the Shenglong Tower, Luo Xiao changed into a yellow belt, and from this moment on, he was the highest-ranking yellow belt disciple among the disciples in the hall. However, Luo Xiao does not plan to go to the next level and be promoted to a red belt or even a black belt, which is based on two reasons.

First, the prerequisite for the promotion of the red belt is to open up the thirty-two meridians and refine the mixed yuan and one qi technique to the fourth layer. If he wanted to continue to be promoted, there was no need to hide it just now, and he would directly light up thirty-two white lights. Obviously, such a high profile is definitely a dead act.

Again, he didn't quite meet the criteria for promotion to a red belt. Although his Mixed Yuan One Qi Technique has broken through to the fifth layer, in terms of realm, he is already the same level of existence as the Black Belt disciple, but the Red Belt certification is different from the Yellow Belt, the Yellow Belt only needs to open the pulse, while the Red Belt needs to meet three conditions, one is to reach the fourth layer of the Mixed Yuan One Qi Technique, the second is to open up the thirty-two meridians, and the third is to have a martial art to practice to Xiaocheng. The requirements for black belts are higher, not only to reach the fifth level of the mixed element one qi technique, but also to master the three martial arts of blades, fists and feet, and body techniques, two of which are up to Xiaocheng and one to Dacheng.

And Luo Xiao's current realm has reached the fifth-order quenching stage, but his strength is almost still at the level of a yellow belt, because he has not really chosen a martial art.

"When you become a Yellow Belt disciple, you can officially ask the teacher for martial arts. But before that, I have to cash in on the rare herbs I picked in exchange for refining resources. Luo Xiao decided what to do next and strode out of the Martial Arts Hall.

When passing through the mountain gate, Luo Xiao saw the square-faced disciple of the "gate pile" again, and greeted the other party with a smile. The square-faced disciple stared at the yellow belt around his waist, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't speak until Luo Xiao walked away. At this time, the square-faced disciple understood what Luo Xiao meant when he said to him that day, "This wooden stake, I'm afraid you will continue to be it......

For an old student like Luo Xiao, who has been in Xiuwutang for nearly three years, the basic courses have been almost learned, except for the weekly electives, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get to the hall the rest of the time, Xiuwutang won't care. Disciples at this stage pay more attention to self-cultivation and obtaining as many resources as possible to improve themselves.

Martial artists improve themselves, which is nothing more than the two ways of "internal and external cultivation". Internal cultivation is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and also includes absorbing aura from spirit stones or some kind of heaven and earth treasure to strengthen the meridians, internal organs and yuan species, so as to obtain more powerful combat power. External cultivation, on the other hand, is to refine the body, soaking the body with flesh spirit stones or similar rare herbs, strengthening the skin, flesh, muscles and bones, and obtaining strong defense. Both internal and external cultivation complement each other, and if any one is weak, it is difficult to become a samurai.

Not to mention anything else, the name of the sixth-order samurai is called "Xuanwushi", and the correct sentence of this Xuanwu is "Xuanwu, Shi", not "Xuanwu, Samurai". Xuanwu, one of the four divine beasts, is shaped like a turtle and is known for its strong defense. The reason why the beginner samurai is called a Xuanwu warrior and wears an iron turtle buckle is because the strongest samurai at this stage is defense.

Luo Xiao's defense is far more than that of the same level or even high-level disciples because of the easy tendon and marrow, but there is still a certain gap from the strong defense of the Xuanwu, and it is impossible for him to have a second time in the short term.

Bencao Hall, which is found in every city, is spread all over the world like Xiuwutang, the difference is that the Danyao Workshop in the state city or national capital has higher specifications and more complete items. Yishui City is considered a medium-sized city, and the scale of the Pill Workshop is also medium-sized, but it is enough to meet the needs of the vast majority of mid- and low-level warriors, not to mention Luo Xiao, who is not even a warrior.

Bencaotang sells pills, spirit stones, meat spirit stones and various rare herbs, and also buys them. Therefore, Luo Xiao planned to leave a few red jade grasses, and the rest of the rare herb spirit grasses were sold in exchange for meat spirit stones, although he had a lot of good things on him, but these were the only ones who could safely exchange for resources. It's a pity that I was in a hurry to go out of the mountain that day, and I didn't have the time to search for rare herbs and spirit grasses, and these were just picked on the road, which was not very rare, but it was also very good.

The most central street of Yishui City is called Long Street, the north of Long Street is the government office area, and the south of Long Street is the commercial area and residential area, and the most conspicuous building on the south side of this long street dividing the north and south is the Materia Medica. Not far from the opposite side of the cottage hall is the castle guard's house. From this geographical location, the importance of the Materia Medica to a city is self-evident.

The Materia Medica Hall is three floors high, covers a wide area, has two entrances in the north and south, Luo Xiao comes from the south, walks the south gate, and sees the unique sign of the Materia Medica Hall from a distance - a human-shaped Shouwu.

Entering the door, on the side of a long cabinet on the left side, one of the few small servants who answered the door greeted him with a smile on his face, and greeted him with a forked hand: "It's Brother Luo, what are you going to do today?"

Luo Xiao is also a frequent visitor to the Materia Medica, but he is a frequent visitor who likes to buy more and buy less. Still, when you enter the door, you have to be greeted with a smile.

Luo Xiao shook the big bag in his hand: "I don't buy it today, I only sell it." ”

This bag is just pretending, there are some stuffs in it, and you can't take a bunch of herbs out of your "arms".

"Brother Luo'er has entered Longyuan Mountain, right?" the little guy smiled and bowed, and made a gesture of invitation, "Please follow me to the herb cabinet ......"

Luo Xiao shook his head: "I need a secret room." ”

The secret room is a unique confidential room of the Honcado, which is specially prepared for some customers who do not want to show their heads or do not want to show their goods.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and turned his hand in a different direction: "This way, please." ”

Luo Xiao turned a few corners with the little guy, came to a row of side rooms, stopped in front of a house marked with the word B on the door, the little guy took out a bunch of keys, selected one of them, opened the door lock, and motioned to Luo Xiao to come in.

Luo Xiao also came to this secret room for the first time, but saw that the furnishings inside were simple, only two chairs, a square table, and a copper candlestick and a set of tea sets on the table.

The little maid entered the room and lit the candles, took the tea set, said wait a while, the tea will come in a while, and turned to leave.

As soon as the little guy left, Luo Xiao got up and checked carefully, and found no peeping devices or holes, so he sat back in the chair, rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, flicked his arm, and made a loud noise, and the table was full of rare herbs of spiritual grass, and the small secret room was suddenly overflowing with medicinal fragrance and aura.

"Brother Luo, the tea is here......" As soon as the little guy took the tea, he was shocked by a pile of spirit grass and rare herbs on the table, "Luo ...... Luo ......"

Luo Xiao leaned back in his chair lazily: "Please offer an estimate." ”

Soon, one of the ten offerings of the Materia Medica, Chang Worship, who was an expert in identifying herbs, looked at the rare herbs on the table with a strong medicinal fragrance and full of vintage, and was surprised: "This guest, how can you use to keep these herbs so fresh?"

Although these herbs were quite precious, they were not enough to surprise him with the knowledge of the offerings, and what really surprised him was that all of them were as if they had just been picked from the medicine garden, green and tender, and some even had damp soil. And the only one in the vicinity who can pick the precious herbs of this year is Longyuan Mountain, but Longyuan Mountain is a day's journey away. Once picked, the herbs wilt and dry out quickly, but how do you do that they are still so fresh?

Luo Xiao smiled but did not speak.

Chang Feng woke up, this is to probe on other people's secrets, it really shouldn't be, and hurriedly apologized, and then commanded a group of apprentices to carefully move the rare herbs of the spirit grass on the table into a special jade box, and asked Luo Xiaokuan to sit and wait for the appraisal to end.

Due to Luo Xiao's large shipments, some identification tools will be used in the process of identifying herbs, so they cannot be operated in the secret room, and they must be taken to the counter.

Luo Xiao's purpose of asking for the secret room has been achieved, but he doesn't want to stay here and wait, so he goes to the counter with his usual offerings, and by the way, he takes a look at the flesh spirit stone he wants.

In the lobby of the Materia Medica, Luo Xiao sat leisurely and tasted tea, playing with a meat spirit stone in good condition in his hand, and there were several of the same quality on the table. Luo Xiao estimated that when the herbs were sold, it would be okay to buy these inferior meat spirit stones on the table, and there would be a large balance.

On the counter on one side, Chang Feng led a few apprentices to methodically identify the herbs brought by Luo Xiao, and after a while, more than half of the identification was made, and it was estimated that it would be almost half an hour in another hour.

At this time, a few people walked in from the north gate, and walked directly to this side, and a voice sounded: "Old Chang, have you been deploying medium-grade meat spirit stones in the workshop recently?"

Chang Xian stopped what he was doing, looked up, and sighed: "Isn't this Yuan Tou? How much did Lord Cheng Shou reward? I can actually buy a medium-grade meat spirit stone......

Luo Xiao looked up, but saw that it was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with black hair scattered and tied with a green belt, his face was like a knife, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a fierce aura. This person Luo Xiao knew, the deputy captain of the City Guard Mansion Guard, Yuan Tong, a sixth-order Xuanwu warrior.

But Luo Xiao's gaze only swept on Yuan Tong's face, and quickly moved to a girl behind him.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wrapped in a red scarf, dressed in a red suit, and wearing leather boots. Eyes moved to her face again, Luo Xiao was slightly surprised, this girl's appearance is not like the delicate spirit of an ordinary girl, but with a neutral heroic spirit, especially a pair of black and bright thick eyebrows that are not inferior to men, revealing a sense of grandeur.

Luo Xiao noticed that the girl had a black belt with a white thundercloud pattern tied around her waist - a black belt disciple!

It is also the Xiuwu Hall, the level of the Xiuwu Hall where the county is located is one level higher, and the Xiuwu Hall where the national capital is located is one level higher. The straps worn by these high-level martial arts cultivators will be different, and they will be printed with exclusive badges, these are basic common sense, and martial arts cultivators all know about them. Therefore, Luo Xiao recognized at a glance that this girl was from the Junzhi Yanshan Xiuwu Hall, but he didn't know this girl.

Before Yuan Tong could answer, the girl in red spoke first: "It's because I want a medium-grade meat spirit stone." My brother is a new Xuanwu and wants to buy a medium-grade meat spirit stone to congratulate. ”

Chang Feng glanced at the girl in red carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "Could this be ...... Miss Feifeng?"

The girl in red smiled: "It's me, I often worship, I haven't seen you for a few years, and my eyesight is still so good." ”

Chang Feng hurriedly put down the herbs in his hand, and said in surprise: "Miss Feifeng has been practicing in Yanshan Xiuwu Hall for several years, and she is already a disciple in the room. ”

The girl in red shook her head embarrassedly: "I'm nothing, the eldest brother is amazing, he has only been in the martial arts hall for six years, and he has been promoted to Xuanwu warrior." ”

Chang enshrined a loud voice: "The Flying Dragon Master is really a martial arts wizard, and the Lord of the City Guard is a talent! Congratulations!"

Luo Xiao heard it on the side and understood that this girl in red was actually Cheng Feifeng, the daughter of Cheng Xiaofeng, the guard of Yishui City. He hadn't seen this Cheng Feifeng, because when he entered the Martial Arts Hall, Cheng Feifeng had already left Yishui. However, Luo Xiao has heard of her reputation, and she is so upset that she often teaches the prodigal children in the city, even if it is a powerful and wealthy family, she can still fight it. It is said that when she left Yishui and went to Yanshan, all the prodigal children in the city chartered the drunken immortal building and carnivaled for a day and a night, and she could be called a strange woman.

At this time, he shook his head and sighed: "Whatever Miss Feifeng wants, as long as the hall has it, it will definitely be offered...... It's just that this medium-grade meat spirit stone really doesn't have ......."

Medium-grade meat spirit stones, specifically referring to meat spirit stones that are more than fifty years old, are rare, and are the best spiritual objects for warriors to temper their bodies, and the effect is even better for newly promoted sixth-order warriors, which is why Cheng Feifeng wants to buy it and give it to his brother.

Yuan Tong didn't give up: "Didn't the main hall allocate new goods?"

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "The medium-grade meat spirit stone, before the beginning of the year, I allocated three pieces, and as soon as it arrived, it was purchased by Qin Jianzheng, Pang Jianzuo, and your city guard." Now it's out of stock at the head office......"

The city guard mansion purchased the medium-grade meat spirit stone, and Yuan Tong also knew that he was gagged now.

Cheng Feifeng was disappointed: "Yanshan City can't be found, Xiuyan City is not either, and I can't imagine that Yishui City is also ......."

Chang Feng looked ashamed and rubbed his hands: "Otherwise, Miss Feifeng will take a look at something else...... By the way, this workshop has newly refined three Yun Yuan Pills, which have a very good effect on the warrior's Yun Yuan Force, and they are no worse than the medium-grade Flesh Spirit Stone......"

Cheng Feifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he was still a little disappointed. Because the new Xuanwu warrior needs the most high-grade flesh spirit stone to improve his defense, and Yun Yuan Dan is more meaningful to the mid-level samurai above the Vermilion Bird Warrior.

"Okay...... Cheng Feifeng hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly, "Then come a Yunyuan Pill...... Wait, this flesh spirit stone ......."

Cheng Feifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, pulled away the pile of herbs to be identified, and picked out a fist-sized flesh spirit stone: "The skin is dark yellow, folded like a groove, it seems to be a fifty-year-old flesh spirit stone, but this stone skin is shiny, faintly revealing a bit of crystalline, but it seems to be the characteristics of a hundred-year-old flesh spirit stone......"

The identification of the age of the meat spirit stone is relatively simple, and there is a course in Xiuwutang in this regard, and the general disciples can identify it, usually by the color and the depth of the skin folds to identify the year. For example, the 10-year-old meat spirit stone is gray-white and the folds are shallow; the 20-year-old flesh spirit stone is light yellow and the folds are slightly deeper; the 50-year-old meat spirit stone is dark yellow, and the folds are as deep as a shallow ditch; and the 100-year-old meat spirit stone, that is, the high-grade meat spirit stone, in addition to the color orange yellow, the folds are like deep grooves, there is also an obvious feature, that is, the stone skin is translucent, hidden and crystalline, and looks like topaz.

And Cheng Feifeng found that this flesh spirit stone had the characteristics of both 50 years and 100 years, which made her blind for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish the exact year.

Chang Feng also sighed: "Miss Feifeng, can you allow Chang to have a certain view?"

Cheng Feifeng hurriedly handed over the meat spirit stone: "It's polite to worship often, this is your thing." ”

Chang Feng took it, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "Judging from the skin, it is indeed a fifty-year-old medium-grade meat spirit stone, but its inner aura is so rich that its epidermis and outer layer of flesh form a crystalline that only a high-grade meat spirit stone can have...... Although this flesh spirit stone does not have a hundred years, it has a hundred years of work. ”

Cheng Feifeng was overjoyed: "Great, I bought it!"

Chang Worship hesitated for a moment, looked somewhere, and said in a low voice: "This, this is not the thing of the main hall, it is the guest's. ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Feifeng and Yuan Tong focused their eyes on Luo Xiao, who was leisurely drinking tea on the side.
