When they stepped into Fang City, Xiao An and Lingyue were stunned by the scenery in front of them.

The city is located in a valley of about forty or fifty miles in a flat area, surrounded by steep boulders, except for a narrow passage at the entrance. After countless years of wind and rain erosion and mountain floods, these boulders show a magnificent beauty.

And the craggy strange rocks are dotted like dots, dotted on the flat valley floor. They are unique in shape, large or small, and set off with some of the boulders in the valley, making the layout of the valley twist and turn. In the middle of the peaks and loops, it is like walking into an unfathomable and mysterious world.

Unfortunately, flying is strictly forbidden in the city, so you can't enjoy it from above. However, the cultivation of the two of them is low, and unless they reach the ninth layer of qi refining, they can fly at a low altitude.

Fortunately, the valley has been repaired, and although there are many stalls and shops on both sides of the road, it still looks very spacious.

Four days after leaving the sect, Xiao An and Lingyue finally came to the "Strange Stone Fang City", and after entering the Fang City, the two did not immediately separate, but slowly watched the strange stones around them and the items on the stalls along the road in the valley together.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far ahead, and a bunch of monks surrounded a stall.

Xiao An and Ling Yue were both fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were shorter than the other monks, but fortunately there was a larger shop around the stall, so they stepped on the stone steps in front of the shop and looked at the stall.

Everyone gathered around just an ordinary stall, the stall owner was a hunchbacked old man, and there were only a few jade boxes on the stall, one of which was more than a foot long jade box was placed under his hand by the stall owner, and there was a "spirit sealing talisman" on it. It seems that the contents of this jade box are the most valuable.

It seems that this stall is no different from other stalls, and the words on the sign next to the stall are the main reason for attracting everyone, only to see that the top of the sign reads: "Red Spear Incense" for sale for hundreds of years.

The monks gathered around the stall kept asking the hunchbacked old man about something, but they didn't mean to buy the spirit stone. Could it be that these monks had the same idea as themselves, just to see this centuries-old herb? Xiao An muttered to himself in his heart.

Red spear incense is a herb that can only be grown in places with strong aura, this herb can only be used for medicine with a one-foot length of the stem, and its medicinal effects can only be fully activated when it blooms. However, this herb only blooms once every five years, and it blooms for only one hour at a time, and it is rare to encounter the red spear incense in a flowering state in the wild.

Therefore, most of this herb is cultivated by monks, and there are very few wild red spear incense for sale in the market. And this medicine is the main medicine for refining the "Zhuangjin Pill", and it is suitable for monks of different cultivation with the increase of the age of the medicine.

Seeing that the monks gathered around him had no intention of buying, the hunchbacked old man was not in a hurry, and began to talk about the process of collecting this herb under the coaxing of everyone.

It turned out that the hunchbacked old man passed through an inaccessible dangerous place when he went out last time, and happened to smell the aroma of this herb flowering, so he followed the aroma and rushed to the vicinity.

Only then did I find that a giant python near the herb was fighting with a gray wolf, both of which were demon beasts in the late stage of spirit induction, and they were competing for this herb.

When the old man arrived, the two monsters had been fighting for a long time, and both were seriously injured, and they both fell off the cliff in the ensuing bite.

For the demon beasts in the late stage of the spirit induction, this cliff will not cause fatal damage to them, but these two demon beasts will not fly, and it will take a short time for them to come back.

Although the hunchbacked old man is not good-looking, his eloquence is absolutely first-class, and the story of this medicine collection is very vivid, so that the people around him listen to it very enjoyable.

While listening to the story, Xiao An used the "Qi Viewing Technique" to observe it by the way, and found that this old man was a monk of the sixth layer of qi refining. And the stall was surrounded by monks of the seventh or eighth layer of qi refining, and he only had the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, and he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, he did not come forward.

Perhaps it was because of that high-quality Spirit Gathering Array Plate that Xiao An had only cultivated in the fourth layer of qi refining for a year and a half, and then successfully stepped into the fifth layer of qi refining half a year ago. Finally the same cultivation speed as the other disciples, which made Xiao Anxin secretly happy.

The hunchbacked old man has a low cultivation but has precious medicinal herbs, which is like a piece of fat that attracts countless vicious wolves, and many people around him have a greedy look in their eyes.

"Old man, how is the color of your herb?" A strong man with a long beard among the onlookers glanced at the hunchbacked old man behind the stall with slanted eyes, and reached out to grab the jade box that was more than a foot long.

This strong man is a seventh-level Qi refining cultivator, and he doesn't look at the old man of the sixth layer of Qi refining at all.

"You give me back the herbs. Seeing that the jade box was taken away by the strong man, the hunchbacked old man suddenly became anxious and hurriedly grabbed the jade box. Although the old man's reaction was fast enough, the strong man still opened the jade box through a thin slit.

An extremely faint aroma instantly spread, and even Xiao An and Lingyue, who were standing in the distance, could smell this aroma. After the aroma, Xiao An only felt a burst of refreshment all over his body, and even the aura in his body was a lot purer, and he felt that he could catch up with his half-day penance.

Xiao An and Lingyue glanced enviously at the jade box in the old man's hand, and found that the items in the outer Fang Market were much richer than those in the Inner Fang City of the Zongmen, and as soon as they entered the Fang City, they could see that someone was selling medicinal herbs that had been around for hundreds of years.

At this time, a monk walked out of the shop where Xiao An and Lingyue were standing, this monk was dressed as a shopkeeper, and looked at the jade box in the old man's hand with a hint of surprise.

Then the hunchbacked old man was invited into the shop by the monk dressed as the shopkeeper, and the monks gathered around the stall dispersed in an uproar.

Xiao An and Lingyue also continued to wander around the market, but fortunately, this market is not big, and it took the two less than a day to walk through the market. After having a preliminary understanding of the sales area of various items in the city, the two said goodbye to each other and looked for the materials they needed.

In the following days, a piece of news spread widely in the market: the shopkeeper of the "Treasure Pavilion" received a five-hundred-year-old medicinal herb "Red Spear Incense" at the price of 1,500 spirit stones.

And the normal market of this herb can be sold for two or three thousand spirit stones, it is said that the hunchbacked old man who sells the herb does not know the age of this herb at all, so he was picked up by the shopkeeper.

A 500-year-old herb, mainly refining the elixir taken by the monks in the later stage of Jindan. This kind of herb has always been the best gift for low-level monks in the Jindan period.

It is said that after the shopkeeper invited the old man to his shop, he planned to press the price down a little more, but who knew that a monk from the ninth layer of qi refining suddenly broke into the shop.

The monk rudely interrupted the conversation between the shopkeeper and the old man, and wanted to buy the herbs directly from the old man's hands, but the shopkeeper was so anxious that he directly threw out a bunch of spirit stones and bought the herbs.

Seeing that the other party had completed the transaction, this ninth-level Qi refining monk was so angry that he was about to make a move on the spot, and finally the foundation building period monk in Fang Market appeared nearby, which scared this monk away.

Afterwards, the shopkeeper sent a message to the outside world: This herb is used to give away, not for sale. But there are still many people who come to the door to buy this herb. In the end, the shopkeeper was so annoyed that he had no choice but to close the shop, and the shopkeeper didn't know where to go.
