At the end of the day, Qing Ran had already bought a set of clothes in the city that mortals wore without any special features, and holding the storage bag that only contained about fifty spirit stones, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

In the final analysis, there are still a large number of mortals in the city, so the spirit stones used by the monks cannot be used as the currency exchanged by mortals, but it does not mean that the spirit stones are seriously worthless among mortals.

In addition, because most of the monks also live among mortals, in the form of families, and even the sects are pitiful, so in order to facilitate the monks to buy daily necessities, they also deliberately opened a place where they can exchange spirit stones for coins.

Although the monks are not very interested in this kind of money village, besides, in this Qi cultivation period, poor Dongchan, who has little cultivation, basically no monk will need to spend his own money to buy those things, if it is not raised in the sect, there are countless mortals who are not worried about food and clothing.

But Qing Dye was different, she was not surprised that a low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a bag full of gold coins, and the gold and silver jewelry in the eyes of mortals was like dung in the eyes of monks, and it was worthless at all.

But in the hands of mortals, the spirit stone can benefit a lot, even if it is buried in the ground, it can also bring spiritual energy to the barren land, and the growth rate of ordinary crops is probably more than three or four times that of usual, so no matter how much gold coins are used to obtain a spirit stone, the blood is always mortal.

In this way, Qing Dye will not worry about food and clothing in this city at all.

But eating and wearing this kind of thing is not important to the monk at all, at this time, the important thing is to earn some spirit stones quickly, so that it is convenient for him to cultivate.

In fact, Qing Ran originally didn't plan to cultivate this sudden appearance of the earth spirit root, which was a waste of time and meaningless.

But if she didn't cultivate, she would be chased and killed by a higher cultivator, and for a while, she didn't immediately restore her original cultivation, and just relying on the physical fitness of the Yuan Infant Cultivator was not enough to protect herself.

And she had a guess.

Probably because it is a mutated spirit root, the earth spirit root consumes too much spiritual power when it grows out, which causes the earth spirit root itself to be very weak, so that it is impossible to switch the spirit root.

The way to do this is to keep exercising the Earth Spirit Root to restore its state to the point where it can switch.

This conjecture does not seem to be unfounded, and the man in black also said that she will not be able to recover without three years and five years.

Nine times out of ten, that's what he meant.

Qing Ran was cultivating in the Mo family before, and although the elixir materials for cultivation were not as complete as those of other young ladies and young masters, it was also a good thing for the Mo family, a magic circle family, and no matter how bad it was, it would not be bad.

But here she also saw it just now, the so-called spiritual root is divided into grades, magic weapons are divided into quality, and the elixir materials are naturally the same.

The pill is divided into nine orders, the higher the quality, the better, like the elixir and other medicines that supplement spiritual power, although the effect is to supplement spiritual power, but because of the different grades, the amount of spiritual power supplemented is not the same, and often the more high-level elixir, the more troublesome it is to refine, and the more it requires ability and cultivation of high alchemists, so the price is as low as two or three low-grade spirit stones, as high as 10,000 high-grade spirit stones and even the best spirit stones.

And as far as the eye can see, this is already a royal city, but there is not a single pill shop, but some large shops will put two or three grades of pills on the counter like the treasure of the town store, add a layer of prohibition, and then no shadow can be found again.

It's so miserable, at this time, Qing Ran can't think of any metaphor to say the poverty here.

Speaking of which, in terms of alchemy, not everyone in the Xuanwu Empire is proficient, but they can also understand some fur more or less.

There is no problem in refining pills below the third grade, and there is no problem with green dyeing and self-control, she has deliberately practiced this before, although the number of waste pills is always redundant and successful, but it is easy to say that it is also possible to refine pills.

So she wandered aimlessly, wanting to see if there was a team that went out of the city to hunt demon beasts, and if she could get the materials, she could refine them herself.

Just when she was worried that she couldn't find the team, a group of people noticed her.

"Fellow Daoist, but what kind of work are you looking for? It just so happens that we are disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, and this time the mountain gate gave the task, but one of our companions was injured just now, and now there are only four of us, which is not a difficult thing, but it takes five people to open the ban, so Daoist friends just follow us to open the ban, if you don't want to enter the secret realm, you can leave after opening the ban." ”

Originally, I was going to go to the city to find something that could be used, but at this time, I was accosted by this person, but I was interested.

Because he had changed his appearance with the illusion crystal, Qing Ran looked like a mediocre-looking girl at this time, so it didn't arouse much suspicion from the other party.

She looked the four people up and down, they were very average, they were all wearing aqua blue sect clothes, and each of them had a bamboo flute hanging around their waists.

And the leader is carrying a long sword behind his back, and he looks handsome, and he has that big smile on his face at this time, as if he is about to come over to hook up with her and put his arms on his back, which makes people wonder if if that smile will turn into a big disappointment if he refuses him.

"What secret realm, where is it?"

Seeing that Qing Ran seemed interested in going together, the man in the lead stepped forward happily and said

"A hundred miles away from the royal city, we are responsible for preparing the horses, and we can get there before sunset, the place where our master ancestor once cultivated, Daoyou, you are really lucky. To tell you the truth, our Yunxiao Sect is one of the top sects in this Eastern Zen, and the royal family specially left it for us to be responsible for training the new disciples every year.

There is no danger there, there are only some first- and second-order small demon beasts, which are very docile, even if they are mortals, they will not be hurt. There will be spiritual grass required by the sect's alchemy every year, and we are only responsible for picking enough spiritual grass. ”

Hearing what he said, Qing Ran frowned, it wasn't that he didn't plan to go, but he heard that there were only first- and second-order spirit beasts, and he didn't know what materials he could get.

Seeing that she suddenly frowned, thinking that she was afraid or unwilling to go, the man hurriedly said,

"Daoist friends don't have to worry, you are only responsible for holding my junior brother's jade slip and standing on it to help us open the ban, because the ban must be opened by five people standing on it and holding the jade slip, so we can't hold five jade slips with four people, even if you want to leave, we won't stop you." As for the reward, what do you think of five lower-grade spirit stones?"
