On weekdays, Lingyuan City is naturally not as lively as when the conference is held, but after all, this place is the only monk city in the territory of the three counties, and there are still many monks coming and going on the streets.

After Tang Mian paid the entrance fee to the city, he moved directly to the spiritual material shop in the city.

The spiritual materials that the Golden Earth Formation needed were all memorized in his mind, and he had also learned about them before going out.

Materials such as Shen Tie Essence Stone, Jinling Sand, and Earth Essence Stone are all high-grade minerals, and they are all in the hands of the major Xiuzhen sects.

However, after all, Lingyuan City is the only monk city between the three counties, and the merchants who can open their doors to do business here are all powerful, and even some sects have opened shops here, so the variety of items sold here is quite rich.

Tang Mian wore a black hat and walked through the streets and alleys, shuttling between large and small spiritual material shops.

It didn't take long for several of the more common materials, such as Sinking Iron Essence Stone, to be obediently lying in the storage bag. The two materials of Jinling sand and soil essence stone are rarer, and the relevant production areas are not even within the scope of the three counties.

However, fortunately, there is a "Wantong Chamber of Commerce" in the city, which is said to have an unfathomable background of power, and its business is all over the Zhao State.

Tang Mian listened to the introduction of others, and went to take a trip with half a doubt, but he didn't expect to really gain something.

Soil essence stones are available in the Chamber of Commerce, while Jinling Sand needs to be transferred from other places.

"It really can't be cheaper?"

Tang Mian gritted his teeth and handed over the earth essence stone to the shopkeeper, and booked Jinling Sand, which could be delivered here in about a month or two.

After spending five medium-grade spirit stones, the materials needed by the Golden Earth Formation Tang Mian were almost all gathered, and only the scales of the Golden Scaled Snake were not found, and there was not even any news about it.

Materials above the foundation building period were already rare in Lingyuan City, and Tang Mian was still looking for demon beast materials, which increased the difficulty of collecting, and he himself didn't have much hope.

"Isn't it really going to hunt a foundation building demon beast?

Tang Mian licked his lips, and there was a faint excitement in his eyes.

Lingyuan City Qianji Hall, which belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, is the place where the City Lord's Mansion issues tasks to the public, and it can be said that it is one of the core places of Lingyuan City.

Qianjitang has always been a lively place, and a large number of scattered cultivators around it rely on all kinds of bounty tasks in the hall to eat, mostly killing people, walking darts, and searching for natural treasures.

Of course, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion, after paying a certain fee, the casual cultivators can also use the Qianji Hall to issue tasks, which makes the tasks that appear in the Qianji Hall every day very complicated, and there are many hidden secrets in them.

Tang Mian wanted to use this famous Qianjitang to find the whereabouts of the Golden Scale Snake.

When I came to the gate of the Thousand Machines Hall, there was an endless stream of monks coming and going, all of them in a hurry, and most of them wore masks and hats to hide their faces.

The same was true for Tang Mian, who had runes in his hat that blocked the detection of divine sense, which was very popular among low-level cultivators.

Tang Mian touched the black hat, stood in the corner with his hands down, carefully observed the behavior of the people around him, and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with the process here.

There are several areas in the Thousand Machine Hall, corresponding to different types of tasks, which makes it easier for Tang Mian to find targets.

Tang Mian took a few pieces of jade slips from a well-behaved female deacon, all of which were tasks related to various demon beast materials.

The divine sense slowly probed into the jade slip, and hundreds of thousands of pieces of information merged into his sea of consciousness.

Tang Mian also deliberately wanted to see and understand, and explored extremely carefully, the tasks were strange and numerous, but most of them were about first-order demon beasts, and they only needed Qi refining stage cultivators to complete.

The number of tasks of second-order demon beasts is much smaller in comparison, after all, it is quite difficult to hunt second-order demon beasts, and the weakest second-order demon beasts can only be killed by the combined efforts of several peak Qi refining stage cultivators.

However, after so many years of accumulation, there are still a lot of second-order demon beast missions that are still effective in the Thousand Machine Hall, including most common demon beasts.

The deaconess saw that Tang Mian was looking for a second-order demon beast, and her well-behaved face showed a look of reverence, obviously she regarded Tang Mian as a senior in the foundation building period.

After breaking through to the sixth layer, Tang Mian finally mastered the breathing technique, as long as the other party was not a big realm higher than him, otherwise he would not be able to see through his cultivation.

"Show me all the second-order tasks. ”

Tang Mian smiled at the deaco, and then continued to inspect the jade slip with his divine sense.

After a stick of incense, when he picked up the seventh jade slip, he finally saw the words "Golden Scale Snake".

Tang Mian couldn't help but be overjoyed, but after looking carefully, he was disappointed, the other party offered a high price in the hope of getting a snake gall, but did not provide any information about the Golden Scale Snake.

Sighing, he casually picked up the eighth jade slip, starting from this jade slip, the tasks in it were all from the city lord's mansion.

Another half-burnt incense time passed, Tang Mian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally got what he wanted.

The quest that Tang Mian saw was released five years ago and came from the City Lord's Mansion.

Like the previous mission, the City Lord's Mansion also needed the snake gall of the Golden Scale Snake, and also marked the approximate location of the Golden Scale Snake, but the relevant information was hidden, and Tang Mian needed to swear by the demon after taking the task to inspect it.

"Article 8560, I took this task!"

Tang Mian handed the jade slip to the deaco, who looked at him in surprise, and then did not dare to slack off to handle the relevant matters for Tang Mian.

Under the supervision of the deaconess, Tang Mian meticulously swore with his inner demon that he would never spread the news of the golden scale snake, and promised to hand over the snake gall to the city lord's mansion after hunting.

When he walked out of the Thousand Machines Hall, there was an extra jade slip in Tang Mian's storage bag that recorded the location of the Golden Scale Snake, which made him have to sigh at the vast power of the City Lord's Mansion.
