Zhang Yifan left a high-quality medium-grade magic weapon in the storage bag for Ah Cheng, a number of pills, spirit stones and primary talismans, which were enough for Ah Cheng to use until the late stage of qi refining, and it could be regarded as a fairy fate.

Although Ah Cheng has some shadows of his righteous brother Zhang San'er, Zhang Yifan has some strange thoughts and pays more attention to Ah Cheng. But the most important thing is that Ah Cheng is kind-hearted and has a fate with him, so he will help one or two. Those things may be worth a bit to others now, but they are not worth mentioning his net worth at the moment.

When Zhang Yifan reappeared in the crowd, he turned into a middle-aged monk, with a fierce aura, looking difficult to provoke, and his cultivation was controlled at the thirteenth layer of the qi refining period.

After three days of introduction and guidance from Ah Cheng, Zhang Yifan already has a general understanding of the entire Aoki City, so there is no need to continue to let Ah Cheng guide and recommend. He had been targeted by some well-intentioned people before, so he changed his identity and continued to visit Aoki City.

Zhang Yifan visited some bookstores and bought a lot of classics and scriptures, including not only classics on alchemy, refining and talismans and other immortal cultivation skills, but also some miscellaneous records, observations, legends, etc. He has now developed the habit of reading books, spending an hour or two a day reading.

With Zhang Yifan's ability to never forget, reading and thinking extensively has indeed increased his knowledge. As the saying goes, reading is ever-changing, and its meaning is self-evident. After reading a lot of books, Zhang Yifan's insights into some things are deeper than before. This is helpful to him in both his immortal cultivation skills and cultivation, but the time is still shallow and not so obvious.

In addition, reading more books was also very beneficial for him to recite the Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutras, and he gradually began to understand some of the profound meanings of the third wonder of the scriptures, and finally made some progress.

For several days, Zhang Yifan searched for news about the Purple Star Flower in Aoki City, but found nothing, which made him a little frustrated.

At present, his practice has encountered a bottleneck, and the Sanyuan Dan seems to have no effect, and now even if he spends a lot of time cultivating every day, he has hardly entered the realm. Before, he mainly relied on the power of the pill to cultivate, and the speed of his cultivation was so fast that he caught up with those cultivation geniuses, but now that he had left the pill, he seemed to have been beaten back to his original form, and he had become very mediocre.

The pill is tantamount to the root of cultivating immortals for Zhang Yifan, because of the refining of the mysterious well water, so he can take the pill to cultivate without any scruples.

It is precisely because of the elixir to assist in cultivation that Zhang Yifan does not spend much time on cultivation, so he has a lot of time to spend on other things, otherwise like other monks, he will not have the current level of immortal cultivation skills. Relying on the skill of cultivating immortals, he accumulated a large number of spirit stones that could be used to assist in cultivation, which complemented each other, and the pill was the most important part.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yifan tried to collect the Purple Star Flower after discovering that there was no exercise to enter the realm, he believed that as long as he refined the Purple Qi Dispersion, his cultivation would be as fast as before.

He was thinking about whether to try his luck in the dangerous places and secret places on the side of Aoki City, but the chances of finding a needle in a haystack were really slim. Then Zhang Yifan entered a tavern and prepared to have a drink to relieve some of the depression caused by the fruitless search for medicine in the past few days.

This tavern in Aoki Castle called Lingzhenju is quite famous, opened for monks, and the food and drinks served in it contain some spiritual energy, which is also beneficial for spiritual practice. In particular, the one named Qingye Lingjiu is brewed by the unique secret method of Zhen Miaomen, and the taste is unusual, and people like Rao is Zhang Yifan who are not good at wine can't help but drink a few more glasses, and even find the store to buy a few bottles for storage.

Just when Zhang Yifan couldn't help but feel a little drunk, suddenly the word "Purple Star Flower" reached Zhang Yifan's ears, making him sober up a lot.

He pretended to be drinking, looked around, and noticed that the sound was coming from a side room behind him. The voice was very small, if it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper opened the door when he was delivering wine, and Zhang Yifan was very close, he really couldn't hear it.

It's just that the door of the wing room closed after a while, and Zhang Yifan couldn't hear anything. It was about Purple Star Flower, and Zhang Yifan had no choice but to use his divine sense to listen cautiously. Fortunately, there were two monks in the middle and middle stages of foundation building in the room, and their divine sense was much inferior to Zhang Yifan's, so they didn't find that their conversation had been listened to.

"Senior Brother Peng, what you said is true?"

"Senior Brother Lin, how dare my little brother lie to you. I got lost and accidentally broke into that place, and I didn't find anything at first, but I believe Senior Brother Lin has also heard of it, my passion spirit beast has no other role but has a natural sense of cherishing the elixir spirit grass, so I found that there is actually a purple star flower in that place. And according to the reaction of the Hundred Spice Beast, most of those purple star flowers are more than five hundred years old, and there are quite a few of them, and there seem to be more than ten plants. ”

"If that's the case, then it's indeed a great opportunity, and a five-hundred-year-old Purple Star Flower will be sold for at least a thousand spirit stones. Presumably, the junior brother didn't take it at that time, so he encountered some difficulties, right?"

"Senior Brother Lin's guess is right, it's true, there is a group of purple-pupiled fierce ape demon beasts near the Purple Star Flower, and the junior brother is really not sure to deal with it, so he will ask Senior Brother Lin. ”

"What! Purple Pupil Fierce Ape! It's such a ferocious demon beast, even I can't be sure how to deal with it. How many fierce apes are there in that place? Can you find out clearly?"

"There are about three or five, the highest level of which is a fifth-level fierce ape, and the rest are fourth-level demon beasts, the younger brother just looked at it from a distance and didn't dare to approach. ”

"The strength of the purple-eyed fierce ape is not trivial, even if it is a fourth-level fierce ape, it is very difficult for me to deal with it, and I am far from being an opponent of the fifth-level fierce ape. Three or five so many purple-pupiled fierce apes are not something you and I can take. Senior Brother Peng, this is too dangerous. ”

"Senior Brother Lin, this little brother knows. But Senior Brother Lin, aren't you very familiar with that person? If he comes out, I believe it should be enough. ”

"You mean my third brother, it is true that this can be achieved with him, but the price of his action is not low. ”

"Senior Brother Lin, there is no problem. This time, the junior brother only needs the fourth layer of the Purple Star Flower, and as for the other Purple Star Flowers and Demon Beast Spirit Materials, they will all be given to Senior Brother Lin and that one. ”

"If Senior Brother Peng thinks so, then this matter can be done, and let me talk to the third brother in detail. But I still have a question, why didn't Senior Brother Peng ask your senior brothers of the Bailing Sect for help, but found me. ”

"Senior Brother Lin, you and I have been friends for many years, and I can trust you. The younger brother has always been not valued in the sect, and he has no friends, if he asks the sect master and brother to help, first, the information is easy to leak, and second, it is too much to be able to divide one or two layers at that time. ”

"In that case, then I understand. This time you and I cooperate, I believe that the third brother will also come at that time. ”

"That's great, in those five days, you and I will meet at the entrance of Aoki Canyon. ”

"Well, that's a deal. ”

"Haha, Senior Brother Lin, come to drink and drink, this Lingzhen Residence's Qingye Spirit Wine is really a hundred years old, in my opinion, it can be regarded as the first spirit wine in this Aoki City. You and I haven't seen each other for a long time this time, so we must not get drunk and not return. ”

"Senior Brother Peng, you. Haha, okay, senior brother, I'll accompany you for a while. However, if the junior brother wants to say that this Aoba spirit wine is the first spirit wine in Aoki City, I dare not agree with the senior brother. If you want to talk about this spirit wine, my Xuanhuo Sect's Drunken Yan Qiong Spirit Wine is not inferior to this Qingye Spirit Wine in the slightest, and for a fire attribute cultivator, it is even better..."

...

Next, Zhang Yifan didn't hear any useful information, but he still stared at the two people in the room.

Thinking that Zixinghua actually had the news so coincidentally, the depression in Zhang Yifan's heart was swept away. But eavesdropping on people's conversations like this, and then it will take away the opportunity from others, Zhang Yifan has a little taste in his heart, he has never done such a thing before, and he really can't get over his own hurdle in his heart.

However, the immortal cultivation world pays attention to the strong of the weak, and the purple star flower did not reach the hands of these two people, Zhang Yifan thought that when the time came, he would act at the opportunity, if he could really get this purple star flower, it would not be necessary to give these two people some compensation, it would be regarded as a kind of compensation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times, his mentality is really not suitable for the current immortal cultivation world, and it seems that he still has to hone it. Keep the bottom line of action in your heart, but sometimes opportunity is to rely on competition, not to snatch things from others, but it is also appropriate to compete for opportunities with ability.

After thinking about this link, Zhang Yifan's heart was smooth and he drank three cups.

When the two came out, Zhang Yifan secretly and carefully studied the appearance and characteristics of the two monks. The monk who looked young and thinner among the two was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and it should be a monk surnamed Na Peng, who seemed to be from the Bailing Sect. And the monk with a beard and a look of grandeur is a monk surnamed Lin from the Xuanhuo faction. Zhang Yifan kept the appearance of the two in his mind.

When the two talked, the monk surnamed Peng did not reveal the detailed location of the purple star flower, but only said that it was somewhere in the Aoki Canyon, and the monk surnamed Lin also knew the rules, so he did not ask the end. Zhang Yifan decided to secretly follow these two people when the time came, and see if there was a chance to get the Purple Star Flower.

In addition, he planned to wait at the entrance of Aoki Canyon a few days in advance, so as not to miss the opportunity. The other party said that they would meet at the entrance of Aoki Canyon in five days, but they did not say the specific time, which is really difficult to grasp.

Speaking of Aoki Canyon, Zhang Yifan also happened to know that Aoki Canyon was the famous dangerous place near Aoki City.

Aoki Canyon is located about 300 miles east of Aoki City, and the entire Grand Canyon is about 200 miles wide, but it is incomparably long and narrow, about seven or eight hundred miles. For some reason, the canyon is full of miasma all day long, and even some areas are full of poisonous miasma, and ordinary people are killed immediately when they hear it, even if they are monks, they will hold on for a long time.

The reason why Aoki Canyon is called a dangerous place is that the monk's divine sense is greatly suppressed in the canyon, and he can't sense too far away, and he can't know some dangers in advance.

Second, there are monsters all over the canyon, and monks with slightly lower cultivation levels cannot survive in it. In addition, there are many powerful flying demon beasts in the canyon, and the monks do not dare to fly in the air to explore, so they can only search in the valley.

Aoki Canyon is a very famous dangerous place in Lingnan Prefecture, and countless monks fall in it every year, but it still can't stop the monks from entering it. Because along with the danger at the same time, there are also great opportunities in the Aoki Canyon, there are countless treasures in the valley, from time to time there are monks who get the opportunity to cultivate for the great advancement, and even a hundred years ago there is a monk because of the legendary chalcedony Ganoderma lucidum and in one fell swoop to become a Jindan monk.
