Chapter 23: Plans Disrupted
The spirit stones on Guo Yang's body were quickly spent, and almost all of them were replaced with Ning Yuan Dan and swallowed.
Even, he did not hesitate to expose the danger of the hidden elixir, and sold a manna ginseng in his hand that was more than 200 years old. The dozen or so bottles of Ning Yuan Dan in exchange were all ruined by him like eating beans.
The spiritual power in Guo Yang's body has become deeper and more refined, but it has not seeped out a layer of black stain.
After a few months of mixing in the inner gate of the King Sect, Guo Yang slowly learned a lot of things.
For example, this Taiwang Sect is actually not a true cultivation sect, but mainly sells elixirs and refines low-level pills, although including the head of the sect, there are only three masters in the foundation building period in total, but because of its special role, it is thriving in a radius of thousands of miles.
For another example, when you cultivate to a certain level, a layer of black dirt oozes out of your body, and that's called a breakthrough. A total of four black stains seeped out in front of Guo Yang, which meant that he had broken through the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
With the consumption of spirit stones, Guo Yang became anxious. This cultivation is purely a resource!
After Guo Yang refined the last Ning Yuan Pill on his body, he began to plan how to make money: "It's not okay to sit and eat empty mountains. ”
First of all, he summarized all the reward tasks of the sect, and concluded that "the fastest and most stable way to get money is to hunt beasts and demons, the easiest thing to make a windfall is to collect elixir, and the most unreliable and risky is to learn alchemy and robbery."
Secondly, he calculated an account and found that the only way to really save money was to learn to make his own alchemy.
One alchemy material of Ning Yuan Dan, seven or eight low-level elixirs are worth no more than five spirit stones, and alchemy masters can refine about ten Ning Yuan Dan in one furnace, and the value is directly increased by six or seven times. However, the investment in the early stage of alchemy is too large, and the risk is also large, so it is normal that if you can't get hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, you can't refine a single pill.
"I have to find a way to get Zhang Xiaopang up the mountain, usually go out to hunt beasts and demons to earn some spirit stones, go out once or twice a year to dig elixirs, and get a few high-grade elixirs when my character explodes, and I can buy two or three thousand spirit stones." At that time, find a way to learn alchemy. When you know how to do alchemy, everything will be easy, and the money from alchemy will be fast!"
Guo Yang had a certain idea, so he immediately started to act. He cleaned up briefly, opened the door of the cave, and prepared to find a way to help Zhang Xiaopang find a way.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he found that there were several people guarding in front of his cave house.
"Senior brothers, who are you?" Guo Yang immediately felt a little nervous, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
The few people blocking the door were all disciples of the inner sect of the Taiwang faction, and one of the leaders was a young man in his twenties named Ma Youbiao, who was said to be the grandson of an elder of the sect and was quite notorious in the Taiwang faction.
Several other people, whose reputation is not very good, are normal to beat the white wolf with a stuffy stick and rob the same door to rob the spirit stone pill.
"Senior Brother Guo, what are you doing here? I heard that you have too much Ning Yuan Dan to eat recently, so you can borrow some from me. Ma Youbiao said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Ma, look at what you said, I've been so poor lately, how can there be Ning Yuan Dan. No, I'm still about to take on the mission of the sect and earn some spirit stones. Guo Yang was slandered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you're poor, we don't have to ask for your spirit stones and Ning Yuan Dan, just give us those elixirs on your body. Ma Youbiao had a smile on his face, but his voice was so cold that Guo Yang's heart trembled.
"It's bad, I only care about changing Ning Yuandan, and I expose my net worth. Guo Yang, Guo Yang, this problem will have to be changed in the future. Guo Yang blamed himself for being too careless.
"Yes, just give the brothers a few elixirs. Those inner disciples coaxed together.
"I dug up two plants in total, and that was the one I occasionally encountered when I was in the medicine collection team. Guo Yang said with a smile on his face.
"Bang", Guo Yang received a slap in the face, which made his eyes glaze with stars.
Ma Youbiao looked at his right hand, blew lightly, and continued to say with a smile: "Boy, it seems that you are going to enlighten me." ”
Guo Yang covered his face and quickly thought of a way in his heart. The group of people in front of him, not to mention anything else, just this horse Youbiao, he really doesn't dare to provoke, and he can't afford to provoke it. Moreover, Guo Yang estimated that he couldn't beat it. The only way is to delay, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be able to drag on.
"Senior Brother Ma, I really don't have any more elixir. But I estimate that it will be in a few days, no, I was just about to go to Yunwu Mountain to collect medicine. Seeing that Ma Youbiao's slap was about to be thrown out again, Guo Yang hurriedly smiled and said.
"I can't wait. Give me the storage bag and I'll let you go. Ma Youbiao said with a sneer.
Guo Yang saw that he couldn't drag it out, and suddenly became murderous, but said with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Ma, this ...... Ahem, that's right, there were originally two more elixirs, but because they were too precious, I hid them in one place. You also know that a poor boy like me has never seen good things, so I don't dare to bring good things with me. Since Senior Brother Ma needs it recently, let's dedicate it to Senior Brother. But if you want to say okay, if you give my senior brother those two three-hundred-year-old monkey pith flowers, you can accept me as your little brother. ”
"Three hundred years of monkey marrow flowers?!" Ma Youbiao was surprised and delighted when he heard it. You must know that it is the main medicine for refining Zhuji Dan, and it is worth no less than three thousand spirit stones.
Guo Yang didn't know the market before, and was coaxed by the alchemy workshop to buy one at a low price of three hundred spirit stones. Afterwards, Guo Yang regretted slapping himself twice.
"Those two monkey marrow flowers, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to dedicate them to which elder, since Senior Brother Ma needs them, then ...... Ahem, senior brother, you must let me follow you. In our Taiwang faction, if there is no big backer like Senior Brother Ma, I basically can't get along. Guo Yang pretended to be in pain again, and said flatteringly.
"Haha, no problem, with these two monkey marrow flowers, Lao Tzu's Tsukidan will have a fall. After that, I built a foundation and became an elder, and I will give you a fat difference for your boy. Ma Youbiao laughed a little carried away.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ma! No, thank you Elder Ma!" Guo Yang said flatteredly. "I'll go get the medicine, and Senior Brother Ma will drink tea and wait in my cave mansion. ”
"No, let's go together. Ma Youbiao said.
"This ...... Senior Brother Ma, the distance is a bit far, and I was afraid of being robbed, so I hid the elixir in the Evil Wolf Valley. Guo Yangfu said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go together, and by the way, kill a few beast demons for spirit stones. Ha ha. Ma Youbiao waved his hand, and took Guo Yang and the others straight to the Evil Wolf Valley.
Evil Wolf Valley is a place where the disciples of the Taiwang sect hunt beast demons, the terrain is treacherous, and there are many beast demons. Guo Yang has been here a few times, and he is still familiar with the environment here.
More than three hours later, the group came to the entrance of Evil Wolf Valley. Guo Yang led the way in front and soon entered the periphery of the Evil Wolf Valley.
"The elixir is hidden here?" Ma Youbiao asked hesitantly as he heard the roar of the beast demon faintly coming from the valley.
"Yes, it was hidden under a tree in the valley. When people come here, they are generally careful to watch out for beasts and demons, and they don't deliberately look for other things, so it's much safer. Guo Yang said with a smile, led the way in front, and walked straight to the valley.
Ma Youbiao was a little skeptical at first, but seeing Guo Yang's unhesitating appearance, he was relieved. However, the deeper they went, the more poignant the beast demon's roar became, and the group felt a little frightened.
Guo Yang pretended to be calm and walked forward steadily, but in fact, he kept beating the drum in his heart.
He wants to find an opportunity for the beast demon to help him clean up Ma Youbiao, and at the same time, he must not threaten his own safety.
After more than half an hour, the group had already crossed the periphery of Evil Wolf Valley and entered the danger area. Ma Youbiao became more and more frightened as he walked, and was about to stop, but he heard Guo Yang shouting excitedly: "Senior Brother Ma, in the small valley in front, there is a big tree in it, and there is a bird's nest on the tree. I hid the elixir in the bird's nest. ”
When Ma Youbiao heard this, his spirits were lifted and he quickly followed. The other inner disciples were actually nervous for a long time, but they could only keep up at the moment.
In this small valley, Guo Yang clearly remembers, there are more than a dozen black water wolves entrenched in it.
The black water wolf is ferocious by nature, and its combat power is comparable to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but because of its naturally hard muscles and bones, coupled with the wolf's group offensive characteristics, it is extremely difficult. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, Guo Yang really didn't want to provoke this group of wolf grandfathers.
"Senior Brother Ma, there are two or three black water wolves here, they are very powerful, and the last time I hid medicine, I quietly touched them. You don't have to be so careful this time, there is a senior brother here, come and kill one another!" Guo Yang looked flattering, which made Ma Youbiao quite proud.
"It's okay, I'm here. Ma Youbiao's face was also a little green, but several younger brothers followed, so they naturally had to make a look of indifference.
Guo Yang looked at it and smiled secretly in his heart, although this Ma Youbiao is said to be at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but he has to face more than a dozen black water wolves at the same time, which is estimated to be enough for this kid to drink a pot.
The other inner disciples were actually so frightened that their faces turned blue, and their legs trembled, and when they saw Ma Youbiao's confident appearance, they were also a little relieved. Several of them have always been bullied in the sect
Those low-level disciples who had no background, as for the Evil Wolf Valley, they only dared to go to the periphery and hunt some first-order beast demons. Although this black water wolf is still a first-order beast demon, its strength is even more terrifying than some second-order beast demons.
After walking for a while, but not seeing the black water wolf come out, Guo Yang was a little anxious, and said in his heart: "Could it be that these wolf grandfathers are not at home today? That's a bit bad." ”
Just as he was thinking, a faint wolf howl came from afar. Guo Yang was happy, and Ma Youbiao and others were a little nervous.
"Boy, are you sure there are only two or three black water wolves here?" asked Ma Youbiao a little nervously.
"I've been here twice, and it's been two or three. I didn't dare to provoke, and I came in quietly every time. Guo Yang said. To be honest, in fact, he doesn't know how many black water wolves there are here. If there were three or five, he would be able to handle it, but if a dozen of them ran out, it would be terrible.
"Hurry up and find the elixir, don't grind. Damn, how does Lao Tzu feel frightened, it can't be a wolf's den. Ma Youbiao frowned and said.
"Okay, okay, let's go get the elixir. Did you see it, on the rock in front of you, on the big pine tree. Guo Yangdong looked around for a while, and suddenly pointed to a big tree in the distance and said.
Ma Youbiao was overjoyed and took the lead in running over.
As soon as the tea was opened, a few people went to the vicinity of the mountain rock. The mountain rock was twenty or thirty feet from a cliff, and a large tree grew on it.
"Boy, you go get the elixir. Ma Youbiao pointed at Guo Yang and said.
"Okay. However, Senior Brother Ma, you must remember to accept me as your little brother. Definitely!" Guo Yang's face seemed to have some pain, and he was obviously reluctant to take out the elixir. This look made Ma Youbiao feel very comfortable.
"Good, good, promise you. Hurry up and get the medicine. Ma Youbiao said impatiently.
Originally, according to Guo Yang's plan, he wanted to lure Ma Youbiao and a few people here and let the dozen or so black water wolves help him clean up them, but as a result, those black water wolves didn't know where to go, and none of them were gone. This obviously disrupted Guo Yang's plan.
The situation was pressing, Guo Yang really had no choice, so he had to slowly climb up the mountain rock. However, in order to confuse Ma Youbiao and the others, he climbed very slowly, and several times, he seemed to have insufficient strength and almost fell down.
"This stupid guy is so clumsy to climb a cliff, I don't know how he got mixed up with the inner disciples. An inner disciple looked at Guo Yang's appearance and said disdainfully.
"It's okay, as long as he is willing to hand over the elixir, he will reluctantly let this kid follow us in the future. Ma Youbiao said indifferently, staring at Guo Yang with two eyes, as if he was about to burst into flames. "Two three-hundred-year-old monkey marrow flowers, that's a full six thousand spirit stones!"
At this moment, a wolf howl came from afar, and in that direction was the entrance to the small valley.
