Adventures in the Human World Chapter 69 Zhang Ji Danpu
Zhou Xiang said to the tall and thin monk: "This jade slip of Daoyou is very useful for the introduction of Ping'an City, but our husband and wife are here to find a doctor to heal their wounds, I wonder if the two of you have recommended the Holy Hand of the Danshi?"
The tall and thin monk hurriedly replied: "Don't hide it from your predecessors, any pill shop in Ping'an City provides healing services. However, if you want to talk about the real masters, it must be Qiu, Zhang, and Liu. The masters of these three families are all monks in the late stage of foundation building, not only have excellent Dan skills, but also have excellent medical skills, and their status in the city is second only to the three city lords. Their shops are located in the south, west and east of the city. ”
"There are countless shops in Ping'an City, so aren't there any other pill shops with the same names as Zhang, Liu, and Qiu?" Zhou Xiang asked.
"Qi Yu senior, all the shops in Ping'an City will not have the same name, because before opening a store, you need to report to the three city lords, and one of the regulations is that you must not have the same name as the store that has been opened. The three pharmacies of Qiu, Zhang, and Liu opened the earliest time, and they took up the names in advance, so the seniors can rest assured that they will not make mistakes. ”
Zhou Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the city protection array with Shen Wanqing holding the jade plaque. After passing through a burst of fog, a long passage appeared in front of the two of them, and then they moved forward, and suddenly their eyes suddenly opened up. I saw a bustling city appear in front of me, where there were no walls and no moat. The bluestone-paved avenue leads to the center of the city after crossing a stone bridge, and the road is lined with tall trees, and on both sides of the road is the residence of the low-ranking monks, which looks like a beehive built on the stone wall, and many monks either fly out of the sword or return with their weapons.
But they all flew over a street and landed on foot, and there was a very large square with monks and a dazzling array of stalls. There are monks who waive banners and shout publicly, others sit on the floor and wait for customers, and others are bargaining, and there is a lively scene in a row.
As soon as Zhou Xiang and the two stepped on the stone bridge, a monk came forward, and they didn't care that Zhou Xiang was much taller than them, so they asked if they needed guide services.
Although Zhou Xiang had a map in hand, for the sake of convenience and to prevent other monks from making noise, he hired a tall monk with a ninth level of qi refining to lead the way for him.
Seeing that Zhou Xiang had already hired a guide, the others on the bridge dispersed in a hurry, waiting for another group of people to enter the city.
The tall monk was very enthusiastic, and introduced himself: "Seniors are good, juniors' surname is Guo Mingfa, just call me Xiao Guo, I have lived in Ping'an City for thirty years, and I am very familiar with every grass and tree in the city. ”
Zhou Xiang nodded, and handed out ten spirit stones casually: "Just take us to one of the three pill shops of Zhang, Liu, and Qiu." ”
The tall monk saw that Zhou Xiang Lingshi was happy, and his face was extremely happy: "The senior of the good sect learned that the closest to this bridge is Zhang Ji Danpu, let's go over." I don't know whether the seniors are going to buy pills or herbs? The juniors also have a certain understanding of the market and can provide reference for the seniors. ”
"We're here to heal. But I don't know which of the three has the best level of treatment for internal injuries?"
"When it comes to treating internal injuries, in fact, all three are similar. But the shopkeeper of the Qiu family is old, and now the business of the store is basically taken care of by the guys, and he will not come forward easily. Therefore, the only three families that can actually provide healing services are Zhang Ji and Liu Ji Danpu. In addition, there are other places in the city that can heal the wounds, but the means are too bad, but it is cheaper. Guo Fa explained.
"It's like treating an internal injury such as a damaged meridian, how much does it cost?"
"It depends on the specific situation, if it is an ordinary injury, the shopkeeper usually will not show up, and the apprentice can make a move, and the cost is hundreds or thousands of spirit stones. If you are seriously injured and have to come forward, it is possible to spend tens of thousands of spirit stones. Guo Fa introduced it very carefully.
"Is there a good inn to live near these pill shops?" Considering that it was not a day's work to cure Shen Wanqing's injury, and the two of them had to find a place to stay and rest, Zhou Xiang asked about the inn.
"If you want to talk about inns, there are many houses in the business circle, and the prices and services are actually about the same, some rooms are a thousand spirit stones a day, and a little bit is hundreds. ”
Guo Fa asked all questions so that Zhou Xiang was very satisfied, the three of them chatted while walking, Zhou Xiang also learned that Guo Fa lived in those buildings and caves that had just entered the city, and his daily work was to come out and find some work to do, sometimes he would wait by the stone bridge into the city to be a guide, sometimes he would go outside the city to find some herbs or animals to sell, or go to shops and hotels to do some chores, and he could earn a lot of money every day. After removing the necessary expenses, you can save nearly a thousand spirit stones in a year, and you can make up enough rent for a hundred years in a few years. The rest of the time is to earn spirit stones in exchange for cultivation materials, there are the most pill shops in this peaceful city, and his spirit stones are mainly spent on buying pills.
Although the building where he lives is small and cramped, it is a very good place for a casual cultivator like Guo Fa, mainly because it is too convenient to earn spirit stones in Ping'an City, as a commercial center, there are opportunities everywhere, and basically once a casual cultivator rents such a room, he will never leave easily.
After chatting and chatting, the three of them came to the commercial street of the city, where there were many shops and monks rubbing shoulders with each other, a prosperous scene. Zhou Xiang soon saw a banner in front of a certain shop, "Zhang Ji Dan Shop".
When he came to the front of the store, Guo Fa rushed over and called the guy to greet Zhou Xiang and the two, the guy was also refining qi and cultivating, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhou Xiang after seeing him. After entering the hall, Zhou Xiang looked around, this pill shop was not much different from what he had seen before, that is, there were many monks who came to buy pills, and there were also many guys, and the shelves behind the counter were very rich in types of pills.
After Zhou Xiang explained his intentions, the guy didn't dare to slack off, turned around and ran to the back of the store, he should have gone to inform the shopkeeper. The other guys in the hall warmly greeted Zhou Xiang and the two of them to take a seat and made a good pot of tea.
After only a while, the guy just now led the old man in the middle stage of foundation building to slowly come in. As soon as he entered the hall, he noticed Zhou Xiang and the others, and after his divine sense was swept away, he found that the other party's cultivation was still above him, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and asked, "Dare to ask, but Daoist friends came to seek medical treatment?"
Zhou Xiang guessed that the old man was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and he hurriedly got up to return the salute: "Actually, it is not that I am seeking medical treatment, but that the Taoist in the lower part is because the meridians are accidentally damaged. I also hope that Daoist friends can show their magic skills, and there will be heavy thanks in the future!"
After speaking, Zhou Xiang dodged and let Shen Wanqing out.
The old man said that he didn't dare, and then turned his attention to Shen Wanqing. He stretched out the two fingers of his right hand and put it on Shen Wanqing's wrist very politely, and the spiritual power swam around her meridians, and when he withdrew his body again, the old man's face had become very solemn.
Zhou Xiang didn't make a sound, just looked at the other party. The old man stroked the beard under his chin with his right hand, thought for a long time, rolled his eyes a few more times, and finally sighed, and apologized to Zhou Xiang: "I can't hide it, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about your Daoist's injury! But the injury of this meridian dantian should be caused by a monk above the Jindan stage, unless there is a thousand-year-old reduction grass or a high-grade pill, alas!" After speaking, he shook his head.
Zhou Xiang's face sank, and after hearing the thousand-year-old reducing grass and high-grade elixir, his heart moved again: "There are Lao Daoyou, dare to ask what does this thousand-year-old reducing grass and high-grade elixir mean?"
The old man slowly explained: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the legend of our Lost Domain is a place independent of the Nine Realms of the human world, and the wood aura here is extremely strong, so there are countless herbs of all kinds. But even in the Lost Domain, there are several kinds of herbs are still extremely rare, and the reduction grass is one of them, and it is said that after this grass grows to a thousand years of medicinal age, taking it can restore the body to its peak state, which is very magical! If you can get a thousand-year-old reduction grass, not only can the injuries be healed, but the cultivation can also be restored to its heyday. However, this grass was only obtained by the three city lords of this city a hundred years ago, and it has not appeared since, until recently......"
Speaking of this, the old man surnamed Zhang suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Xiang listened very carefully, and when he saw that he suddenly stopped talking, he opened his mouth and asked, "How are you doing?"
"Alas, recently, Qiu Yao, the great treasurer of the Qiu family, accidentally got a five-hundred-year-old reduction grass, although it is not as domineering as the thousand-year-old reduction grass, but if it is supplemented by other recovery pills, there is no problem in treating the injuries of your Taoist couple. It's just that Qiu Yao will run out of life in another ten years, and he is preparing to use this grass to restore his youth and prolong his life, if he wants to sell this grass, it will definitely be difficult to climb to the sky!" After speaking, the old man shook his head and sighed again, turned around and left.
