Chapter 73: Camel City

Camel City is not big, but it is extremely prosperous.

In a small city within a radius of seven or eight miles, there are more than 500 shops of all sizes.

The buildings in the city, like all the small towns built on the Gobi Desert, are scattered with low stone houses, the streets are generally not wide, and the shops on both sides pile up large bags of goods on the streets, allowing only one donkey cart to pass through.

Guo Yang drove a donkey cart and walked slowly down the narrow streets, his eyes bright, looking carefully at the goods.

The goods in the camel city are roughly divided into three categories, one is the mountain goods, which are mainly the skins of various birds and beasts. The second category is daily necessities, silk, tea, porcelain, sugar cubes, and strips of flannel cloth trafficked from other places. The third category is mainly medicinal herbs.

Guo Yang noticed that in general, in places where medicinal materials are sold, there are all kinds of low-grade pills for sale, and in places where mountain goods are sold, there are various magic weapons and refining materials for sale.

Guo Yang roughly determined that the places where mountain goods and medicinal materials were sold should be the industries of the Xuanyin Sect. And those who sell daily necessities are the real businessmen.

Xu Fan and the other three led the donkey, followed the donkey cart, followed Guo Yang's example, and while walking, they carefully looked at the various goods on both sides of the street, looking like an old businessman.

Guo Yang and the others walked all the way to see it, and finally found an inn in a relatively remote place.

This inn is not big, there is only a small courtyard, a row of low stone houses in the courtyard, looking dilapidated and old, even Guo Yang is a little dissatisfied.

However, this kind of place is inconspicuous, and it is also suitable for their status as a small trader. Therefore, Guo Yang did not hesitate to book three rooms.

Guo Yang instructed the shopkeepers to lead the four little donkeys to the livestock pen in the backyard, and repeatedly instructed them to be taken care of, the water must be clear, and the forage must be added with bean cake or sorghum.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that he was an expert at handling livestock, so he smiled and agreed.

When the store guy walked away, Guo Yang arranged for everyone to rest for a day first, and then go out tomorrow morning to "receive the goods".

"What?, the three of us squeezed into a room?!" Xu Fan, Lian Shan, and Wuyao's faces changed, and they asked in unison.

"Yes, I'm a young owner, it's no problem to live in a separate room, right?" Guo Yang asked lightly.

"It's no problem for the young owner to stay in a single room. But you can't let the three of us squeeze into one room!" Xu Fan protested.

Guo Yang glanced at the three of them, ignored their protests, and continued: "Tiexin is my wife, your mother, living in a separate room, no problem, right?"

With a crisp "pop", Tie Xin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Guo Yang's mouth fiercely.

"The old lady taught me a lesson! Guo Yang is really like a filial son, bowing and bowing his head to admit his mistakes.

Tie Xin was so angry that he trembled all over, and he couldn't get out of the second slap. She was overwhelmed with grief at the thought of her scorched and dry face. Now that she heard Guo Yang ask her to pretend to be an old lady, she didn't know whether it was better to kill this kid seven times or eight times.

Tie Xin stared at Guo Yang for a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you will regret it!"

"The old lady's teachings, the children keep it in mind!" Guo Yang maintained a bowing posture and said respectfully.

Tie Xin was furious, kicked open the door, and walked in quickly. Immediately after, there was a "bang" and the door was closed.

Guo Yang slowly straightened up, glanced at Xu Fan and the others, and said lightly: "Today I will show you how to live in a hotel and a room." From now on, don't bother me with these little things. ”

After speaking, Guo Yang slowly walked to the door of the best upper room in the middle, gently pushed the door open, and walked in. Then, gently close the door.

Xu Fan and the other three looked at each other, so they had to walk into their room.

That night, Xu Fan and the other three of them squeezed on a kang and couldn't fall asleep, coupled with the constant attacks of bed bugs and fleas, they only felt that the pain of life was nothing more than this!

When he slept until midnight, listening to Lianshan and Wuyao slowly falling asleep, Xu Fan got up and sat down, holding his head in his hands, and cried in a low voice.

Of course, Guo Yang didn't know this. As soon as he entered, he immediately set about setting up a small isolation circle. He sat in the circle, swallowed a pill, and began to meditate and cultivate.

......

The next day, Guo Yang led Xu Fan and other three "guys" to buy goods with full spirit. As the iron heart of the "housemother", it is natural that she hid in the house and did not come out.

"These snow fox skins are good, sell them to our Yongzhou City, and those high-ranking officials and nobles should pay a high price. Accepted. ”

"These tiger bones look genuine. The old man's body is weak and needs to be repaired, Afan, you smell it, see if the goods are real. If it's a real tiger bone, then take it. ”

"There are a lot of exotic people in our Yongzhou city, and there is a great demand for flannel cloth. These horses look good, and they are accepted. ”

"Dog treasure cinnabar and bezoar are rare things in Yongzhou City. Accepted. ”

......

One morning, Guo Yang walked all the way to collect it, and made more than a dozen big burdens for Xu Fan and the three of them to carry, stumbling on the crowded streets. They are all used to storage bags, where have they carried so many burdens!

Under the slander of the three people, Guo Yang walked into a shop that sold medicinal herbs.

"Ah Fan, last time the old man said that he met a bottle of immortal pills in Camel City, I heard that he took those pills in the old man, and he seems to be more than ten years younger. Do you remember that shop?" As he entered the door, Guo Yang asked Xu Fan, who was carrying five or six big burdens.

"I ...... The young owner, the small one forgot. Xu Fan said sweating profusely.

"Forget it, I knew you didn't have a good brain, and you still asked a fart!" Guo Yang frowned and said.

Guo Yang entered the shop, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw the medicinal herbs and pills inside.

Sure enough, there are pills swallowed by monks for sale here, and in addition, there are some low-level elixirs.

"Shopkeeper, do you have immortal pills here?" Guo Yang leaned over to the counter and asked with a big grin.

"Immortal pills?" Several guys on the first and second floors of the Qi refining period in the store were stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly: "This person is looking for immortal pills, haha, immortal pills......"

Guo Yang looked at the shopkeepers laughing at himself, so he made an embarrassed appearance, pinched the placket of his clothes with his two hands at a loss, and asked with a smile: "Our master once encountered a fairy pill in your camel city, and after swallowing one, he seems to be more than ten years younger. I wonder if you have anything for sale here?"

"Bastard boy, you're talking about the elixir, right? I don't know what kind of pill your master is eating? We have a special elixir for immortal cultivators to swallow. Swallow one, let alone a mortal, even an immortal can prolong life. This little brother, but you want to buy one so that you can live a long life?" said a shopkeeper with a smile.

"There are really immortal pills! Hurry up and take it out, I'll buy it when I'm optimistic." Guo Yang's eyes lit up, and he looked ecstatic.

"Xiao Wu, don't tease this little brother, that's the medicine used for cultivation, what mortals eat!" said a slightly older shop guy with a smile.

"It's okay, this old brother, you can take it out, I have the silver!" Guo Yang smirked and took out a large bag of gold and silver and threw it on the counter.

The guy from the previous shop smiled and took a vial, which contained three pills. The moment he opened the cork, Guo Yang already knew that it contained the lowest-order pill Condensation Pill that could be swallowed from the first to the third layer of the Qi Refining Period.

"Brother, how much is this fairy pill? Oh my God, it's so fragrant!" Guo Yang screamed in surprise, put the mouth of the bottle under his nose, and inhaled it in a big gulp, looking intoxicated.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a miracle elixir, don't suck all the fairy qi away. The guy at the shop said with a smile, but he was also kind.

"How much is this immortal pill?" asked Guo Yang.

"This medicine only sells spirit stones, not gold and silver. The guy said.

"Spirit Stone, what is that?" Guo Yang asked with a glare.

"Since you don't have a spirit stone, forget it. As the shopkeeper spoke, he reached out to retrieve the bottle.

Guo Yang hugged the bottle and begged bitterly: "Brother, you can be merciful and sell it to me." I want to become a god too!"

Several guys in the pharmacy looked at Guo Yang's appearance and laughed, and one of the older guys laughed: "Little brother, you were teased by others." This elixir can only be taken by cultivators, and if ordinary people swallow it, something will happen. ”

Guo Yang grabbed the bottle in his hand, he must buy it, and begged in his mouth: "Just sell it to me, I will also be a cultivator!"

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, look at you, this little brother is so dignified. Obviously, it is a condensation pill that can only be taken by cultivators, but it has to be coaxed and said to be an immortal pill! The old shopkeeper grumbled and walked over.

"Little brother, this elixir really can't be taken by mortals, something will happen. The guy said.

"Brother, I also want to be a cultivator, and I also want to live forever!" Guo Yang hugged the medicine bottle and said loudly.

Several shop guys looked at Guo Yang helplessly, their eyes full of sympathy.

"What's going on? It's noisy, what kind of system!" Suddenly, a young man with a proud expression walked out of the back hall.

The shop guys all shrunk their necks and stood with their heads bowed, their expressions quite respectful.

A shopkeeper whispered, "Senior Brother Zhang, that's the case, this little brother has to buy our Ning Lu Dan." ”

The young man glanced at Guo Yang and said lightly, "You are a mortal, you can't eat this pill." ”

Guo Yang had already seen that this young man was a sixth-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, and he knew that he couldn't see his foundation building period cultivation at all, so he continued to plead: "Immortal Master, I also want to be a cultivator, I have gold and jewelry, I will give it all to you, just accept me." ”

As Guo Yang spoke, he took out a bunch of things from his arms, including gold, silver, and a lot of jewelry, and even two precious elixirs that were two hundred years old.

"Monkey marrow flower! at least two hundred years old!" said a shopkeeper standing in the back.

The young man's face also changed, he took the two monkey marrow flowers in his hands, looked at them carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Where did this elixir come from?"

"The immortal master is asking about this herb! This is what we dug up in a big canyon on the road. Our caravan was attacked by a pack of wolves, and we fled into a large canyon, and on a cliff in it, I saw two clouds of white light flashing from afar, so I climbed up and dug up these two herbs. Guo Yang said sincerely.

"How did you climb up the cliff?" asked the young man, frowning.

"Haha, the immortal master doesn't know, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so I am quite flexible. The ordinary cliffs are not difficult for me. I also have a special ability to recognize a lot of herbs. However, these two herbs are different from the others, and there is a white light when you look at them from afar. Guo Yang talked eloquently.

"Can you see the white glow of these two herbs?" asked the young man, slightly surprised.

"Yes, it's foggy, you can see it at a glance. It's different from other herbs. Guo Yang said affirmatively.

"It's okay if you want to become a cultivator, but whether you can cultivate or not, you have to go back and test to know. However, you can see the spiritual mist of the elixir, which can be regarded as a skill, but I don't know how you are, it is very difficult to collect the medicine. The young man frowned.

"Immortal Master, rest assured, I, and my three eldest nephews have all practiced martial arts. So, let's find a place to show it. Guo Yang said loudly, and Xu Fan and the other three people, who were carrying a large bag and a small bag behind him, almost fainted when they heard this.

The backyard of the pharmacy was very spacious, and Guo Yang asked Xu Fan and the others to put down their burdens for the time being, and led the three of them to show their "martial arts".

"I'll come first, a few immortal masters, please accept!" Guo Yang said loudly, stepping out and performing a set of martial arts that he had learned in the Taiwang Tower. Guo Yang was extremely skilled back then, so just a lazy donkey rolling made those people stunned.

Guo Yang rolled in the yard for fifty or sixty laps in a row, and finally, on tiptoe, he ran quickly on the walls of those stone houses, and with a whoosh, landed gently on the roof.

The young man smiled and nodded, and said, "Worldly martial arts, it is rare to be able to practice such proficiency. Okay, you can temporarily act as an outer disciple of our Xuanyin Sect. Wait until you can cultivate, and then turn into an inner disciple. You go to the herb collection team first. ”

As soon as he heard the "medicine collection team", Guo Yang sighed secretly in his heart: "Damn, I have a fate with the medicine collection team in my life!"

"You guys put on a show, too. The young man said lightly to Xu Fan and the others.

Xu Fan and the three of them scolded Guo Yang in their hearts for being shameless, and bowed down to a junior at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but they couldn't refuse, so they also followed Guo Yang's example and performed a "lazy donkey rolling" stunt.

With the cultivation of the masters of the later stage of the foundation building of a few of them, these secular martial arts are naturally easy and the performances are very good.

The young man saw that the "martial arts" of the three of them were quite good, and he was very satisfied, so he arranged for them to join the medicine collection team.
