Chapter 393: Meet the Medicine King
Yaqian said, "Then the only way to go is to go to the Oolong Kingdom, the 'medicine' dictionary says that it is an ancient country that produces spiritual 'medicine', and almost all the spiritual 'medicine' is kept there, and these three flavors of spiritual 'medicine' will definitely be found there." ”
Xu Dongdao, "You are already an outdated old yellow calendar, now that the Oolong Kingdom no longer exists, it was annexed by the Dragon City Country more than a hundred years ago, where can you find any spiritual 'medicine' seeds." ”
Yaqian said, "It's good that the Oolong Kingdom was annexed by the Dragon City Kingdom, but the Wolong Valley that produced the spiritual 'medicine' is still there, we might as well go to the Wolong Valley to find it, maybe there is hope to find this three-flavor spiritual 'medicine'." ”
Xu Dong was right when he thought about it, and this was more reliable than going to Qingyang City to find the 'medicine' god, after all, he didn't have the kind of soul body and spiritual sense of the imperial sword master, even if he met the 'medicine' god, he wouldn't recognize it.
"Okay, you accompany me to Longcheng Country, first take a look at the spiritual 'medicine' market there, if you find these three flavors of 'medicine' in the 'medicine' market, it's better, in case you can't find it, let's go to Wolong Valley again." ”
As soon as the day was 'Meng' and 'Meng' dawn, Xu Dong called the shovel to return to the Seventeen Horse Mansion, told Zhao Ke that he had gone to the 'Medicine' City, and then took advantage of the small number of people in the palace in the early morning, and quietly came to the "Shouqiao Palace" with Yaqian.
Since ascending the throne and becoming the monarch of Luotuo, as long as someone else is in the Chunyang Palace, he is not so free compared to when he was the seventeenth horse master before, and he does not dare to go through the main 'door' of the palace when he wants to go out of the Chunyang Palace.
However, Xu Dong had already made preparations, and after the completion of the "Shouqiao Palace", he asked the craftsmen to build a dark room, which was a retreat place prepared for himself, but in fact, there was an underground secret passage under the dark room.
The middle of this secret passage forks into two places, one leads to Xiong Pi's dojo, and when he enters the teleportation array, he can go to Wuliang Island at any time, and the other leads to the Taihou Temple outside the Pure Yang Palace.
After all, the country of Luotuo is a country of cultivation, and the kings of all dynasties have taken cultivation as their main business, and it is common for the emperor to retreat and practice for a few months, so on the contrary, Xu Dong has more freedom.
This dark room has a particularly 'fine' mechanism, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter the dark room, and there are guards guarding the 'door' of the palace, when the emperor retreats in the dark room, no one dares to force his way inside.
Xu Dong's design is to deal with civil and military officials, sometimes he goes out of the palace through this secret passage, or uses the teleportation array to return to Wuliang Island, he can create the illusion that the emperor is in retreat and cultivation in the "Shouqiao Palace".
At this time, Xu Dong took Yaqian into the "Shouqiao Palace", and he 'handed over' the guards who guarded the hall and said that they would retreat in the dark room for two days.
Xu Dong activated the mechanism of the dark room to open the stone 'door', he and Yaqian just walked into the dark room, and the heavy dark room 'door' was "squeaked" shut, and the two of them quickly went to Taihouguan through the secret passage.
There is also a mechanism at the exit of the dark passage on Taihouguan's side, and this mechanism can only be opened by Xu Dong himself, he and Yaqian came out of the dark room through this mechanism, and actually went to the shadow wall of Taihouguan.
The two of them went out of the Taihou Temple, and walked for a long time with the magic technique before arriving in the Dragon City Kingdom, according to the plan they had booked last night, they first went to the 'medicine' market in the King Capital of Dragon City.
The cultivation market of the Dragon City Kingdom is famous far and wide, not only from the surrounding countries, but also from many remote countries to the Dragon City Country, and many countries that are far away from the Dragon City Country also have merchants who come to visit, thus promoting part of the Dragon City Country's economy.
Xu Dong was familiar with the King of Dragon City, he had been here twice, once with Ansula to the Fu Market, and once when he himself had been to the Formation Market.
In his impression, the business of the Fu market was very prosperous, but the market was very dilapidated, there did not seem to be a decent house in the market, and there were simple sheds on both sides of the street, and merchants set up stalls in the sheds to do business.
The formation market looks more formal than the Fu market, and there are regular 'doors' on the street, and people are guarding their own 'doors' to solicit business, but they are far from the popularity of the Fu market.
This time, Xu Dong didn't need to ask the locals, he knew where the 'medicine' market was by searching in the sea of knowledge, because the biggest market in the king capital of Longcheng was the 'medicine' market, and the place with super popularity was undoubtedly the 'medicine' market.
He took Yaqian to the 'medicine' market, which is a long north-south street, with a width of five or six zhang in the center of the street.
Yaqian said, "Xianggong, I'll go shopping in the south, you go shopping in the north, we'll meet here when we're done, if we can't find the three-flavor spirit 'medicine', we will hurry out of the city and rush to Wolong Valley." ”
"Hmm. Xu Dong nodded in agreement.
After he broke up with Yaqian, he walked towards the north head, he first walked next to each other in the shops on Dongmian Street, and to his disappointment, there were only some low-level spiritual 'medicines' in these shops, which was actually what he expected in advance.
After shopping in the east and then in the west, the popularity of the shops on this side of the street is worse, he has visited a few shops in a row, and the counters of these shops are all medium-grade spiritual 'medicine', and occasionally he has seen a few high-grade spiritual 'medicine'.
After thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason for the poor popularity on Xibian Street, because the price of low-level spiritual 'medicine' was much cheaper, and there were many cultivators in this world, but there were not many people with good economic conditions.
After he finished walking half the street to the west, and arrived at the place where he had broken up with Yaqian before, the hope that was still hanging in his heart just now was shattered, and there was not a single top-grade elixir in these shops.
As soon as Yaqian saw him, she said excitedly, "Xianggong, go, come with me to the street where the 'medicine' seeds are sold, and I heard that there are seeds of the 'medicine' of the three flavors in that street." ”
Xu Dong asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”
Yaqian pointed to a man in his fifties behind her, "It's this uncle who said it." ”
Xu Dong glanced at the man, five short figures, black and thin, the person looked a little obscene, but his eyes flashed with a bright light, and it was a little difficult to see this person.
He remembered the rat-whiskered man he met in the talisman market a few years ago when he and Ansula came to Longcheng to buy talisman making supplies, although this man did not have rat whiskers on his chin, and it seemed that his 'shrewdness' was better than that of rat-whisker men.
"Don't fucking run into 'medicine' nursery. He said in his heart.
The man had seen Xu Dongdao, "Guest officer, I heard that you are looking for the three flavors of the top-grade spiritual 'medicine', and the ready-made 'medicine' herbs cannot be found in the 'medicine' market, but you can buy seeds in a shop over there." ”
Xu Dong knew that this person was the kind of common 'medicine' childcare, and he specialized in helping which store to do business, and he wanted to 'medicine' childcare and 'medicine' childcare, as long as he didn't sell me fake 'medicine' seeds, it didn't matter if he 'spent' more spars.
He took a deep breath and said, "That'...... Please take us there, if you buy it, you won't be tipped less. ”
The man took Xu Dong and Yaqian across two streets and came to a deserted alley, this alley did not see a person, and it was a dead end that could not be walked, and it was not a street selling 'medicine' seeds at all.
The more you go inside, the more you feel wrong, the houses on both sides of the alley are tightly closed, the atmosphere is getting more and more depressing, Xu Dong looks behind him, I don't know when there are a few more figures in the alley.
Those people sneakily followed behind, and at first glance it was not so simple, it must be in the same group as this lewd man, this man was not what he thought was a 'medicine' childcare, but the kind of underworld character who robbed merchants.
Yaqian glanced at Xu Dong, obviously she also felt that something was wrong, and the meaning in that look was to say, "What do we do, we have to be wary of these people." ”
"You follow me quickly, don't look at the people behind, they are following me to find the 'medicine' king, but the 'medicine' king doesn't want to see them. ”
What, looking for the 'medicine' king, Xu Dong was shocked, it turned out that this person was not all the way with those guys, his guess just now was completely wrong, and he misunderstood this person by his appearance.
Yaqian asked the man, "The king of 'medicine', where is the king of 'medicine', are you going to take us to see the king of 'medicine'?" ”
The man said, "Don't you want the three-flavor top-level spiritual 'medicine', of course you have to see the 'medicine' king, hey, why are you so nervous, don't you go to see the king of the 'medicine', can you do this?" ”
Xu Dong asked, "Then why did the ...... 'medicine' king only let us see it and not allow them to see it." ”
The man said, "Now there is such a 'medicine' king in the whole Dragon City Kingdom, and he has so many 'medicine' varieties of top-level spiritual 'medicine' in his hands, can he give it to anyone at will, of course, he can only give it to someone who is destined." ”
"There are destined people, why do we have a relationship with the king of 'medicine', do they have nothing to do with the king of 'medicine'. ”
Xu Dong said this in his heart, but the man seemed to hear it, "I am the boy of the 'Medicine' King, and I follow the instructions of the 'Medicine' King to find a destined person every day, and this 'woman' is objectively the destined person I met today." ”
The man continued, "Only those who are destined to get the help of the 'Medicine' King, others will be turned away from the 'door', such as those who are behind you are undestined people, but they don't want to give up yet. ”
As he spoke, he reached the deepest part of the alley, and there was no way to go further, Xu Dong saw that at the end of the alley, there was a room with the 'door' half-open and half-hidden.
The man let Xu Dong and Yaqian into the 'door', and then quickly closed the 'door', and there was a rush of footsteps in the alley, obviously, the few people who followed behind hurried up.
"Knock knock. "Knock knock. Soon there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Ignore them, follow me to the King of Medicine. ”
The man took Xu Dong and Yaqian into a room, and saw an old man meditating in the room, this old man had green hair and blue beard, his eyes were slightly closed, and his sword eyebrows were three inches long, so he couldn't tell how old he was.
"Master, I have brought you today's destined person, I have already interrogated this 'female' guest officer, they are from the country of Luotuo, and they have made a special trip to find the top spiritual 'medicine' of Sanwei that has long been lost. ”
"Oh. The old man opened his eyes slightly, "Okay, I know, 'medicine' boy, you can stand aside for the time being." ”
After the 'medicine' boy left the room, the old man swept Xu Dong with his half-opened eyes, and then looked at Yaqian again, "Which three-flavor top-grade spiritual 'medicine' do you want?" ”
Yaqian hurriedly replied for Xu Dong, "Blindly Chi Jinlian, blindly Baigu scattered immortal 'flowers', and blindly old and dead grass, begging the 'medicine' king to sell us the seeds of these three flavors of spiritual 'medicine'." ”
Hearing Yaqian say this, the 'Medicine' King's eyes narrowed into a slit again, and his voice "giggled" clearly, "Sell, I'm not for sale, even if I am willing to sell it to you, can you afford it." ”
