Chapter 39: Meeting an Acquaintance
"Lu~ Are you really a martial artist?What kind of martial arts do you practice?Why do you fly?Are you sure you're not a mage?"
Under the moonlight, two side-by-side figures left a long shadow on the ground, and the girl An came out of the tomb like a curious baby, constantly asking her own questions, regardless of the heavy package on her back, her whole body hung next to Lu Xihua. Because in the knowledge of the girl, the martial artist who cultivates martial arts will not fly in the sky in any case, and only those mages who are exposed to occult knowledge and practice the art of the elements can float in the air and move freely, of course, this is just a folk rumor, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.
Lu Xihua smiled and didn't speak, because when he broke the stone gate, accepted the unknown star power, and comprehended the star picking and taking the moon divine power, he knew that he was on a path completely different from that of ordinary cultivators. The general division of the cultivation realm in the Taiyi Sect was meaningless to him. What he comprehended from the power of picking stars and taking the moon was an ancient way of cultivation.
Ancient, ancient, ancient, and present, I don't know how much time has passed, and all the truth has been annihilated in time.
Refining and refining qi, refining qi and returning gods, refining gods and reversing emptiness, refining void and merging the way!
These four short realms are the goals that Lu Xihua has to strive for, and now he has just jumped through the stage of refining and refining qi and entering the first step of refining and refining the gods. These are the cultivation process of the stage of refining qi and returning to the gods, it seems to be a simple four words, but it is the ultimate goal of most cultivators in the Horned Jupiter Domain~ to become an immortal.
Although Lu Xihua did not answer, the voice of the orc girl still echoed between the mountains and forests from time to time. This time, the two of them gained a lot, not only got the dragon stone needed by the court mage Fa Renjia, but finally found a lot of treasure in the coffin of the ghoul Calamity Monarch who turned into dust, presumably all of which were funeral goods after his death, but now they are cheap girls.
Lu Xihua doesn't take tomb robbery very seriously, private behavior is called tomb robbery, official behavior is called archaeology, and this is just an alien face, a world with strong Western fantasy colors, their ancestors' tombs have nothing to do with themselves, and they can't worry about them.
Lu Xihua had only broken through the stage of refining and refining qi in a hundred years, which showed that the resources or qualifications required for this primeval cultivation path were too terrifying. The things needed for this next stage of refining qi and returning to the gods have risen geometrically, no wonder it has been passed down to the present, and the cultivation of this stage of refining and returning the gods has been artificially divided into seven or eight cultivation realms, and I don't know if it has become more difficult or simpler.
Both of them have thoughts on their minds, one is worried about future cultivation, and the other is the joy of the current harvest, shuttling between the mountains and forests, stepping towards the vast wasteland below the mountain, and heading towards the pearl above the wasteland~ Snow Mancheng.
The rising sun shone over the wilderness, casting a layer of first glow on the snow-covered city that stood on the top of the hill, and in the thin white mist, it shone with pale gold borders.
In the stables outside the city, two carriages have just stopped their wheels, one is a wagon and the other is a passenger car, and the four horses pulling the cart are constantly panting in their noses, and under the wheels are deep wheel rut marks.
A pair of thick hands in the truck had just thrown bundles of parcels on the ground, some large and small, some light and some heavy. "Will~ come and help, don't think about being lazy!" The owner of the big hand was obviously unwilling to work alone, and shouted loudly towards the bus.
"Got it~ brother. With an answer, on the bus, several burly figures jumped out of the door, immediately came to the truck, grabbed the package goods on the ground and hung them behind them, and walked towards the arrow tower outside the snowy city. Two slender figures stepped out of the bus one after another, one of the shorter figures was slender and clearly a woman. The woman carried a round steel shield on her back, a short sword hanging from her waist, and was dressed in armor, but she was a female warrior.
The woman stood on the ground and stretched out, clearly exhausted as a warrior from the long journey. The woman spoke, "Sister Ella, we bought so many potion materials this time, did we make a lot of money by sending the potions we sent over?" It turned out to be Ella and Ria from the comrades-in-arms.
Ella straightened the somewhat crooked bow and backpack on her back, "Aren't you tired?
Ria pouted, "I just want to know how much I can get, and I don't have the money to buy several pieces of jewelry that I saw in Lonely City this time, so I can't ask if it's okay?"
"The money and accounts must be handed over to Lord Whitemane for review before they can be distributed, and I have to wait until noon. But I can tell you that it's absolutely fine to buy your favorite jewelry. ”
As soon as Ria heard this, her mood immediately improved, and she took Ella's hand, "Sister, are you telling the truth? Oops, I can't imagine that alchemy potions are so profitable? You said that in the past, we all stupidly went to the alchemy pharmacy to buy them, and after a few times, the little hard-earned money that I often earned from missions was earned by the pharmacists, so that I couldn't even buy what I liked." I'm going to follow the next transaction and go to Lonely City to make a purchase!"
Ai stretched out his finger and nodded at Ria's forehead, "You know how to buy jewelry, don't you know how to change yourself into a good set of enchanted equipment?" The caravan of our comrades-in-arms is large in number, and they are all combat elites, but they are not afraid of any robbers, what should you do if you encounter a powerful enemy on a separate mission in the future?"
Ria's mouth pouted, "Sister Ella, didn't you change your equipment either?"
Ella couldn't answer when Ria said this, could she still tell this imperial girl that she was a werewolf? Equipment is dispensable for herself, just a regular cover-up, and in the middle of the night when the moon is full, sharp teeth and claws are the weapons to solve the battle. "In any case, thanks to the guidance of the traveler named Lu Xihua, without his explanation, our healing potion would not have succeeded so quickly. ”
Ria listened to Ella's words, and couldn't help nodding, after getting the guidance of the black-eyed and black-haired young man, the comrades-in-arms gathered all the brothers and sisters, selected a few companions who were excellent in patience and carefulness, and began the plan of refining potions.
At the beginning, there were successes and failures, and the effect of the refined potion was very unstable, and finally half a month ago, the companions who had been experimenting continuously for the sake of the stable source of funds for the comrades-in-arms finally found a stable method for making healing potions. Within a few days, hundreds of bottles of potions were made, and except for a small amount for personal use, all of them were sent to the capital of Skyrim, Solitary City, to be sold in exchange for the development fund of the comrades-in-arms and the favor of the empire.
After all, now that the empire is at war with the rebel forces in the east of the sky, there are a large number of healing potions in the army that need healing, and the sales are not a problem, and at the same time, they can also exchange the favor of the empire, which is good for the neutral snow city and the comrades-in-arms, and a stable and united skyrim province is the homeland that the Nords want.
Of course, the simple-minded Ria can't understand this, all she cares about is beautiful jewelry and delicious food, and she is thinking about whether to go to the mare banner inn for a big meal after getting the money at noon. I heard that a batch of sunshine soufflé was in, and then I ordered a beautiful soup and roast leg of lamb, and I couldn't stop my saliva from flowing out.
Of course, the most important thing now is to go back to the room of the comrade-in-arms group to make up for the beautiful sleep, the convoy is loaded with teammates and goods, because it is the first time to travel, so there is no stop on the road, eating and sleeping are all on the bumpy carriage. The tiredness of the days had already made the female warrior physically tired, and she just wanted to lie on the soft bed and cover it with a warm quilt.
When Ria couldn't help but turn her head and look at the snowy city behind her, she couldn't help but see two figures walking on the road outside the stable, one of them had black hair tied behind her shoulder, very familiar, "Sister, look, who is that?!"
Ella turned her head when she heard the voice, saw the face of the person who came clearly, and couldn't help but smile on her face, "Lu, long time no see~"
Lu Xihua had already seen the two women in the stables outside the city and recognized them, and at this moment the acquaintance was the first to say hello, but he couldn't turn a blind eye, and immediately responded, "Long time no see, are you preparing to go out of the city or have you just come back?"
Ella quietly glanced at the orc girl beside Lu Xihua, and the smile on her face became more and more kind, "I just came back from a long distance." Lu, thank you! We followed your prompts and succeeded! We went out this time to trade, and it went very smoothly. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xihua was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what the huntress Ella said, and said with a smile, "Then congratulations." We also had just come back and were ready to go into town. ”
Ella nodded, "Some time ago, the experiment was just successful, so I went to the mare banner to find you, I wanted to thank you, and I heard from the proprietress that you went to see the lord." This trade is very important, so I led the team to set off, and I just came back today, what's the matter, haven't you been in the city all this time?"
Lu Xihua nodded, reached out and patted the orc girl beside him on the shoulder, "This is my employer, Ann." My lord, I asked Ann to look for something in the southern mountains, and it took us a month to get it. I hurried back, and I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Ella nodded, didn't ask anything, although the comrade-in-arms group is in Xueman City, but it is only a relationship of mutual assistance with Xueman City, and there are some suspicions between each other, and it is not convenient to inquire about the lord's private affairs, and said at the moment, "It's good to complete the task, if you need help, please don't be polite, just say, if you can do it, our comrades-in-arms will definitely not refuse." ”
"Lu is very powerful, I don't need your help~" The orc girl inexplicably refused, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Ella didn't care about the child, as if she didn't hear Ann's words, she pulled Lea who wanted to open her mouth to refute, and walked towards the arrow tower, "Let's go back first." While walking, he waved goodbye and looked very free.
Lu Xihua smiled and did not speak. The orc girl Ann was a little unconvinced when she saw that this tall Nord female archer with a patterned face ignored her words, and quietly pulled Lu Xihua's waist, "Lu, don't get too close to her." I felt like a beast, like a wolf in the wilderness, and it felt dangerous to me. ”
Lu Xihua was stunned, of course he knew that several elite squads of his comrades-in-arms were werewolves, and Ella was one of them, and naturally he was also one of the werewolves. I didn't expect the orc girl's intuition to be so sharp, and she knew that there was something wrong with Ella just by feeling it. I couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, whether it's a wolf or not, this female archer is also a good person, let's just pay more attention." Now, let's meet the leader of our Snowman, Lord Bargulf the Great. ”
"Hmm~" An was very happy to see Lu listen to his words, nodded excitedly, and imagined how much the lord would pay him for a while, the sound of the gold coin was really good.
The figures of the two passed through the doorway under the arrow tower and headed towards the city gate.
