Chapter 387: Jing'an City
Looking at Zhang Yifan's distant back, Yan Ming sighed.
"Why did Her Highness change your mind? I thought you had chosen this person. ”
"Looking at what Brother Yan means, it seems that he is particularly optimistic about this person?" said Sima Lan with some surprise.
"Yes, I am indeed very happy to see this son, and I can talk about it quite well, and I have a bit of friendship. Yan Ming said truthfully.
"Brother Yan saw what points?"
What Sima Lan said was a little obscure, but Yan Ming obviously understood.
"This son is practicing the pure Taoist Lei Fa, but he has also mastered the secret methods of Buddhism, and at the same time, his flesh and blood are vigorous, far from ordinary monks. As for the origin, I can't see which sect it comes from, what does Her Royal Highness the princess think?"
"This person does have some strength, but the palace does not know its origin, there is still a year before the place opens, and it is not too late to make a decision after the big auction hosted by your hospital once every ten years. Anyway, the other party is going to Kyoto, so he will naturally be able to find him when the time comes. ”
"To be able to practice the secret method of the Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra must not be an evil monk, otherwise it will not be recognized by the scriptures at all, and Her Royal Highness the Princess should know this. And with the Miao Lian body, entering that place is a natural advantage, and it is estimated that the help for Her Royal Highness the princess is greater than that of the princess. ”
"Bengong thinks the same, but for this son, Bengong's induction has never been able to see through, so let's observe it for a while, and this matter is not in a hurry. ”
"It's still Her Royal Highness the princess who thinks about it. ”
......
Jing'an City, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, is the largest city in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.
After seeing the majesty of Chuxiong City and the peculiarity of Dujiang City, Zhang Yifan's first feeling of Jing'an City is that it is big, incomparably big.
The entire Jing'an City is very large, and with a large array of protection, his divine sense can't detect the situation in the city at all, but he can't even see the end of Jing'an City as far as his eyes can see.
You must know that Zhang Yifan's current fiery eyes can see a distance of a hundred miles.
This big city has existed since the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it has been at least tens of thousands of years, and it is still as majestic as before, which makes people admire and feel surging.
According to the classics, the city of Jing'an is 300 miles long and 200 miles wide, and the city traverses two large rivers, one large river, and is backed by the Taiqi Mountains. There are tens of millions of inhabitants in the city, and tens of thousands of vehicles and ships come and go every day.
According to the scale, Jing'an City is ten times the size of Chuxiong City, and this kind of big city is Zhang Yifan's life.
Jing'an City has a special gate for monks to enter and exit, and Zhang Yifan applied for a token for a permanent residence for one year as a casual cultivator, spending five hundred spirit stones.
It is forbidden to fly in the capital, it is forbidden to interfere with mortals, and at the same time it is strictly forbidden to use force.
The royal and Confucian forces that control the entire Jing'an City, even the monks of the two realms of righteousness and demons do not want to touch their scales, and they are very well-behaved in the city.
Therefore, Jing'an City is also the safest place in the entire Dajin, as long as you don't commit crimes, basically no one dares to do anything in Jing'an City.
Jing'an City is not only the center of the mortal world, but also the center of the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it is also the largest fang market in the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation Realm.
There are countless heavenly and earthly treasures, magic weapons, and elixirs circulating in Jing'an City every day, as long as there are spirit stones here, many treasures can be sent to you without bothering to find them, and even the treasures needed by the Yuan Infant Monks can be found in Jing'an City.
Zhang Yifan was not familiar with Jing'an City, so as soon as he entered the city, he came to a place where hyacinths gathered.
At this time, Yu San was happily telling something to several colleagues.
"Don't hide it from my brothers, brother, I took a guest to visit the safe house a few days ago, heh, that guest is very wide, and as soon as he made a move, he bought hundreds of superb Zhuji Dan, and spent nearly 200,000 spirit stones. I was dazzled when I saw my brother, I had never seen so many spirit stones. ”
"Third brother, you have opened your eyes to being able to contact such a senior. I'm afraid it's not something good, right? ”
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from Brother Li. That is not a senior, he is much younger than me in age, and his cultivation is only the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period. The guest saw that I was meticulous and saved him a lot of trouble, and finally gave me a Tsukidan brother directly. ”
"Is it true? That's worth 2,000 spirit stones, enough for you and me to work for a few years, third brother, you're really lucky." Everyone looked at Yu San enviously.
"Of course it's true, it's just a pity that I'm unlucky, this one still can't build a foundation if I go down. I've swallowed four Tsukidans in a row, and I'm afraid it's hopeless to build a foundation in this life. Yu San said with some interest.
"Third brother, don't be discouraged, your qualifications are the best among us, I believe you will definitely be able to stand out and join the Four Elephants Academy like Senior Yang and get ahead. ”
"I hope so, I don't believe I can't build a foundation. Anyway, I'm about to accumulate enough spirit stones to buy a Tsukidan, so I'll definitely do it next time. Yu San clenched his fists and said.
A voice rang out.
"Which of you knows more about this Jing'an Chengfang City, be my hyacinth for three days, and I will watch and give the reward, but if it's not good, I won't give a single child. ”
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and found that it was a young monk, who did not seem to have a high level of cultivation, nor did he seem to be wealthy, and they were silent for a while, and no one wanted to do something that had no expected benefits.
"This guest is more familiar with the southern district of Jing'an City, and he is not too familiar with the other three districts. However, monks who come to Gyeongan Castle for the first time can find what they need in the southern area. If you'd like, give it a try. Yu San thought about it and said, he still had some spirit stones to buy Tsukidan, and he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Well, well, it's up to you, you come along. After Zhang Yifan finished speaking, he didn't leave anymore, Yu San looked at Zhang Yifan's back, turned around and said hello to the rest of the hyacinths and chased out.
Zhang Yifan hired a carriage, and Yu San introduced the situation of Jing'an City in the carriage.
"What would you like to hear about this guest?" asked Yu San.
"Let's talk about some of the situations in the four districts of Jing'an City. ”
"There are four major districts in Jing'an City, east, west, north and south, and the northern district belongs to the royal family, and the monks are generally not allowed to approach, and the people who live are the royal clansmen and affiliated families. The eastern district is dominated by the forces of the major academies, and the residents are also scholars. The southern area is the concentration of major sects and scattered cultivators in the capital, and it is also the most developed area in the entire Jing'an Chengfang City. As for the western district, it was mainly garrisoned by troops, and monks were strictly forbidden to enter. ”
"Army?" Zhang Yifan asked curiously.
"Yes, but this army is not an ordinary army, but an army of monks composed of monks, an army of monks formed by the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty and Confucian cultivators to maintain their own laws. It is said that there are tens of thousands, basically all of them are monks who have cultivated above the foundation period, and the cooperation is very tight, and the general monks are not their opponents at all, and the generals are all cultivated above the Jindan period, and several generals led by them are the ancestors of the Yuan infant period. Yu Sanshen said mysteriously.
"I see, that's a lot of money. Zhang Yifan nodded.
He never thought that monks could form an army, the army was well organized, and there were many restrictions on individuals, while immortal cultivators were generally more free and autonomous, and each monk's cultivation had its own uniqueness, even if it was a large sect, it was mainly individual, and there was no unified treatment of cultivation.
This is to cultivate an army with combat effectiveness, the effort is by no means as imagined, there must be many unimaginable difficulties, in terms of expenses alone, it is a huge expenditure that even a big sect like Burning Sky Valley cannot afford.
However, when he thought of the cost of entering Jing'an City, Zhang Yifan was relieved.
With his Jindan period of cultivation, the cost of a year is five hundred spirit stones, while the foundation building period monk is fifty spirit stones a year, and the qi refining period is five spirit stones. Every day, the cost of collecting money into the city alone reaches millions of spirit stones.
This is not counting the rent in the city, the sale and purchase commission, and the amount of spirit stones harvested in a year is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Then you can focus on some famous shops and auction houses in the lower South District, and if there is some private information, I can pay you separately. Zhang Yifan continued.
"Yes, guest. The most famous magic weapon shop here in the southern district is..."Yu San was overjoyed when he saw this, and began to gush on the information he knew.
From the famous shop that sells magic weapons and magic weapons to the stall that sells talisman array flags, Yu San is very familiar with this Jing'an City, which makes Zhang Yifan very satisfied.
What's even more rare is that Yu San introduced Zhang Yifan to a few dark shops that specialize in dealing with some problematic treasures on the way, and he also knows a little about some small underground auctions, and he told Zhang Yifan everything in detail.
For three days, the two talked happily, and when they finally separated, Zhang Yifan gave Yu San a Zhuji Dan, as well as some cultivation pills and a kendo exercise, which made Yu San grateful.
Originally, he thought that the other party didn't buy anything for three days and belonged to the kind of shy monk who had a shy pocket, and he didn't expect to get much in return, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a generous move, and some pills were counted to be three thousand spirit stones, not counting the kendo exercises that could have been cultivated to the late stage of Jindan, which was even more valuable.
Especially the words of the other party at the end of the parting made him full of hope for cultivating immortals.
"You have the qualifications of sword cultivation, so it is so difficult to break through the bottleneck of the foundation building period, and after you break through the bottleneck, you will definitely achieve great success if you change to the way of the sword. Remember, the most important thing in cultivating immortals is not to give up. ”
Yu San looked at the direction of Zhang Yifan's disappearing back, and said with a straight face: "Thank you Senior Li for your guidance and guidance, I Yu San will never forget." ”
......
After separating from Yu San, Zhang Yifan changed his face and began to act alone.
Previously, for the sake of insurance, he was very low-key, and only temporarily helped Yu Sanyi when he left.
Yu San reminded him of his apprentice Ah Cheng.
He saw that the other party seemed to have some qualifications for sword cultivation, but Yu San didn't know that Zhang Yifan didn't want such talents to be buried because of this, so he finally gave some advice.
Although this will make him a little exposed, he doesn't have any enemies in Dajin who already know his existence, and after getting along with him for the past few days, he believes in Yu San's virtues, and he won't talk nonsense, and besides, he is disguised and fake, so he does this.
Zhang Yifan first went to some famous elixir shops, and relatively easily bought a large number of thousands of years of blood coagulation grass needed to refine high-grade blood evil pills.
At the same time, in order to refine more elixirs, Zhang Yifan went in and out of major elixir stores with different identities and faces, and finally bought a large number of full-year Huiling grass.
And because of Zhang Yifan's short-term large-scale acquisition, the price of Huiling Grass was one or two percent higher than before, which provoked some forces to secretly investigate, which was unexpected by Zhang Yifan, and he finally stopped.
Because the three fibrous roots are relatively rare and rare, Zhang Yifan only bought a part, and if he wants to refine a sufficient amount of spiritual elixir, he still needs to personally go to some dangerous places in the south where there are three fibrous roots.
And he also found a lot of demon refining grass for refining the Demon Yuan Pill, and the pills used in his spirit beast cultivation for a while were currently enough.
In addition, Zhang Yifan found some elixirs in Jing'an City for refining pills such as Wuhua Powder and Huang Chanqiong Liquid, and also purchased some for future use.
In Jing'an City, Zhang Yifan truly realized the huge role of spirit stones, as long as there were spirit stones, most of the things could really be bought, and it didn't take much effort.
This time for the purchase of elixir, Zhang Yifan spent more than two million spirit stones, and consumed half of the spirit stones in his hand.
However, Zhang Yifan was not worried, he had obtained a large number of treasures from other monks, Wu Clan and Yu Clan over the years, and he had disposed of some of them one after another and obtained a large number of spirit stones. There are still some treasures with high value in his hands that have not been processed, and once they are processed, it will not be a problem to get millions of spirit stones.
Previously, Yu San told him that there were a few dark shops that dealt with treasures of unknown origin, and the prices were also good, and he was going to deal with those treasures after he finished shopping.
The purchase of the elixir in front of him was very smooth, which made Zhang Yifan can't help but look forward to the cherished elixir he wants to buy next.
He was currently looking for the three main elixirs to refine the Blood Yuan Pill, Blood Lotus, Blood Ginseng, and Blood Kui, which were the names of the three elixirs in ancient times.
He had previously learned from the Huang brothers and sisters that the blood sunflower had similar medicinal effects to the purple flesh sunflower, and he also luckily got a 5,000-year-old purple flesh sunflower from the Yu clan.
But for the blood lotus and blood ginseng, he didn't know what their names were now, or what elixir could be substituted.
Perhaps it was Zhang Yifan's luck that in an inconspicuous shop, Zhang Yifan met a monk who specialized in ancient elixirs.
"Old Chen, you said that this blood lotus is extinct?" Zhang Yifan's heart sank, and Zou Mei asked.
"This little brother, the old man has been in Jing'an City for a hundred years, and he has indeed never found the existence of the blood lotus, so he should be extinct. The Blood Lotus was originally a heavenly and earthly treasure for cultivating the Blood Dao Exercises, and it was very precious. In ancient times, there were many monks who practiced the Blood Dao Exercises, so this kind of elixir was quickly consumed, and the blood lotus could not be artificially cultivated, so it gradually disappeared. ”
"Is there an elixir with a similar effect to the blood lotus?"
"If it's just medicine, there is an elixir with similar effects, but the old man doesn't dare to guarantee that it will be exactly the same. After all, one is the supreme treasure of blood path cultivation, and the other is just a cherished elixir, and there are still some differences between the two. ”
"I don't know what kind of elixir?" Zhang Yifan looked happy and hurriedly asked.
The old man just smiled and did not answer.
Zhang Yifan reacted: "Old Chen, I'm going to buy a Dan prescription of the Jindan period." ”
"Haha, little brother is really polite. That elixir is also a very, very precious elixir, called Blood Weeping Lotus, at least the old decay is not sold here, maybe you can go to Fat Jane, maybe he has some news of this medicine. Next, let's talk about the Dan Fang, there are a lot of Dan Fang of Jindan monks here, I believe it will not disappoint you, little brother. ”
"Old Chen, don't worry about Danfang's affairs first. There is another pill I want to ask Chen Lao below, if I get the news I want, I don't mind buying two more pills. ”
"Hehe, that's a good feeling, little brother, you say. ”
"I don't know if Elder Chen has ever heard of the elixir of blood ginseng?"
"It's another blood path elixir, it seems that the little brother got a pill for refining the blood path pill, the opportunity is good, this kind of pill is difficult to see now. The blood ginseng old decay does know that this elixir also exists now, but it is not called blood ginseng, but red jade ginseng. Since the little brother is willing to buy a few more Danfangs, the old man will tell the Taoist friends about the place where the red jade spirit ginseng exists for free. The old man bit the word free very hard, and its meaning was very clear.
Zhang Yifan suddenly cried and laughed: "Old Chen, rest assured, I will never break my promise when I buy Danfang." ”
"The Red Jade Spirit Ginseng only knows that there is one place, but it is difficult to enter that place without royal connections. I wonder if the little brother knows about the Phantom Moon Medicine Valley?"
"Phantom Moon Medicine Valley? Could it be that the secret realm that is unique to the royal family that opens once every ten years? This secret realm is not open to the public, and the elixirs produced in it are all very cherished elixirs. Could it be that the red jade spirit ginseng exists in the secret realm?" asked Zhang Yifan.
"Indeed, there was once a royal monk who obtained a 10,000-year-old red jade spirit ginseng in it, which caused a storm in Jing'an City. The 10,000-year-old red jade spirit ginseng light can prolong the life of the monk for a hundred years. In the end, the monk had no way to dedicate the red jade spirit ginseng to the ancestor of the late Yuan Infant of the royal family, so the matter was settled. ”
"I see. I don't know if Chen Lao has a way to enter this secret realm, and he is willing to pay the same price. ”
"Little brother, you look too old and decayed, how can I be a small shopkeeper with no foundation in such a place. Next, let's talk about the Danfang business. ”
"Good. Zhang Yifan nodded helplessly.
Originally, Zhang Yifan thought that the quality of the Dan prescription provided by the owner of the small shop was average, but he unexpectedly found that the Jindan Dan prescription provided by this store was actually not bad, and the price was not too expensive.
In order to enrich the types of pills he had and avoid the emergence of drug resistance, Zhang Yifan bought three pills, all of which were pills for refining mana, and there was also a pill for the later stage of Jindan's mana named Rongyuan Dan.
The three pills all belong to the kind of mana that has a good effect, but because natural erysipelas are difficult to remove and the value is not very high, they will be taken out and sold by the old man. This is also specially selected by Zhang Yifan based on his own situation, which is very suitable for him.
In particular, the requirements for the elixir required by Rong Yuan Dan are not too high, and they are sold in this Jing'an City, because there are too many erysipelas, which affects the cultivation potential of monks, so it has not been very popular.
The old man saw that Zhang Yifan chose this Danfang and kindly reminded Zhang Yifan, which made Zhang Yifan's good impression of the old man increase a lot.
In the end, these three Danfang spent Zhang Yifan nearly 500,000 spirit stones, so that the old man made a lot of money, and the old man happily gave him a letter of recommendation and asked him to go to the monk named Jian Fat Man in the old man's mouth to inquire about the news of the blood weeping lotus.
