Chapter 13 Exploring the Poison Cave, Strange Stones Are Hard to Distinguish, Entering the World, Bargging
The further up he went, the darker the cave became, and when there was no more light from the outside world, Bai Fu fell into darkness. Well, he can see in the dark, but that's because the special eye structure concentrates all the faint light at night, and now there is no light, and he is also blind.
He took out the fire fold from his bosom, blew it, and held it in front of him. Although the light of the fire is small, it is a bright light in the night, illuminating the road ahead, and Bai Fu continues to move forward.
After walking in the inclined cave for forty years, the cramped cave suddenly opened up, and a cave of more than 20 square meters appeared, and the cave also came to an end.
After scanning the entire cave, Bai Fu's gaze naturally fell on an oval stone egg the size of a fist that shimmered with pale green light—this cave was empty, and if there really was a treasure of heaven and earth, it should be this stone egg.
Bai Fu couldn't see what kind of treasure this was, for fear that it would be poisonous, so he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wrapped it, then carried it to the outside of the cave, preparing to go out and then study it slowly.
After returning to the cave, Bai Fu put the stone eggs in the locker, plunged into the study, took out a dusty "Mineral Chronicles" from the corner and flipped through the stone chronicles to browse.
I have seen the introduction of various green stones one by one, and none of them can be matched with stone eggs, and the white composite is on the book, and I took out a copy of "Strange Things" to look through.
After flipping through more than a dozen books in a row, he didn't find a good item that could match the stone egg, and even the record of the spider scorpion in the "Poisonous Insect Record" did not mention the existence of the stone egg, so Bai Fu decisively abandoned the book.
It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all!
Bai Fu decided to figure out what the stone egg was on his own, even if he didn't know what it was, he had to figure out what it did.
Remove the stone eggs from the locker (still wrapped in a handkerchief) and place them in a basin filled with clean water and soak them for a few times, but the water does not change color.
I found a silver needle in the house and inserted it into the water, the silver needle did not turn black, it seems to be not poisonous, but it is not absolute, after all, there is a lot of time to be colorless and odorless poison. He looked around and found no guinea pigs who had bravely sacrificed their lives for scientific experiments.
"Hmm......" Bai Fu groaned for a while, and walked towards the waterhole with the basin in his hand. He remembered that there were some wild fish in the pool, which could be used to verify that the stone eggs were poisonous or not.
Soon Bai Fu came to the edge of the pool, put the basin down, and walked into the pool.
Bai Fu stood quietly in the waist-deep pool for a while, and a small black fish about ten centimeters long swam to him without knowing whether to live or die. After narrowing his eyes and judging its exact position and trajectory, he reached out his right hand like lightning, and in the flash of the water, he grabbed it and threw it to the shore.
In the sound of "banging" water, Bai Fu went ashore, caught the black fish that was jumping wildly out of the water, and threw it into the water basin.
The little black fish returned to the water again, and immediately swam happily, and spun in circles in the small basin of water, one or two circles......
Bai Fu didn't remember how many times the little black fish had turned around in the basin, but he had been in the basin for a quarter of an hour and was still alive, which meant that the stone egg was not poisonous.
"Add vegetables today and eat fish!" proved that the stone egg was not poisonous, Bai Fu was in a good mood, and directly rewarded the black fish with a good coffin - a meat coffin that is warm in winter and cool in summer!
..................
Rubbing the stone eggs picked up from the spider scorpion's nest, the warm and smooth texture was like beautiful jade, which made Bai Fu suspect that it was a high-quality jasper or jadeite.
This is the second day that Bai Fu has obtained this stone egg, and he has already tried to recognize his relatives by dropping blood...... Well, a variety of methods such as dripping blood to recognize the Lord, burning, boiling, and even holding up cultivation and sleeping, still failed to develop any miraculous effects. If it weren't for the fact that the egg had been found in the scorpion's lair, he would have suspected that it was just jasper and jadeite.
"That spider scorpion is at the top of the list of poisonous insects, and the things that are guarded shouldn't be so ordinary!" Bai Fu rubbed the stone egg, and stuffed it into his arms, since he couldn't study anything famous in a short time, he wouldn't study it. He thought that after becoming a demon general and advancing to the Qi Refining Realm, he would be investigated with True Qi.
Out of the room, take down the spear from under the weapon rack, just put on a posture, shake a gun flower, has not yet started to practice, the sheep demon who is responsible for washing and cooking came to report, the hole is almost exhausted.
If you don't have rice, you naturally have to buy it - it's okay to grab it, but you are not afraid of being killed by Taoist priests or monks invited by humans. Bai Fu returned to the house and took some gold, silver, silk, a hat with a gauze tent, and some bronze sword coins that were in circulation in this era, and with his sword in hand, he took the two guard wolf demons and headed towards the human city outside the mountain.
Lingxiu Mountain is 100 miles south, there is a city, the name is nothing, it is ten miles long, eight miles wide, it is the largest city in a radius of thousands of miles and the only human city. There are few pedestrians on the western road, but it is not just talking, I want the monkey to give Tang Seng a fast, to fly thousands of miles, how sparsely populated Xiniu Hezhou is, it can be seen.
Fortunately, the mountain road here is flat, the two wolf demons are also burly, tall and not like mortals, and the endurance is super good at long-distance running, and because of the gatekeeper, I also learned some fists and feet, often practiced, the footsteps are brisk, and the mountain road of 100 miles is finished in half a day. This is much faster than going to Ling Xuzi a hundred miles away, deep in the mountains, deep forests and dangerous ravines, in the end, it is not as easy to walk as a flat road.
After letting the two wolf demons hide in a soil hole in a black pine forest five miles away from the city, and not being allowed to raise their heads without listening to his call, Bai Fu put on the hat with the gauze tent and walked towards Wuyou City.
After paying a knife coin to enter the city, Bai Fu entered the city and went straight to the rice shop. When passing by the slave market, looking at the slaves who were being tethered and bought and sold like cattle, he somewhat understood why the six daughters of Keqing would rather stay in the demon cave than return to human society.
In this slave society, being a slave is sin!
Bai Fu shook his head, no longer looked at these slaves with tragic fate, and walked forward with firm steps. Living in this era, as a high-ranking monk, there is no need to sympathize with the lowly slave, not to mention, he is a demon!
The most important thing is that his arms can't twist his thighs, and his small body can't shake this era. Vainly trying to change the course of history is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, destined to be crushed under the wheels of history rolling forward.
came to the rice shop, bought 600 catties of rice, hired a carriage, transported the rice to the grove outside the city, and sent away the car, Bai Fu called the two wolf demons and asked them to carry 300 catties back to the cave, and he returned to Wuyou City.
It's been a while since I've been in this world, and it's the first time I've come to the human world, so I can't go back so early.
After paying a knife coin again and entering Wuyou City, after walking around the city for a while, Bai Fu went to several pharmacies in the city to see if there were any good medicinal materials. Although he felt that the alchemist's combat power was not high, it did not prevent him from collecting medicinal materials to refine pills to enhance his strength. In addition, don't underestimate human beings, thinking that they can't find any good medicine if they are weak, but in fact, it is not, you must know that there is luck at this time, some things, strong strength does not necessarily be able to get, weak strength can not be obtained.
After turning to three pharmacies, Bai Fu really found something good, a century-old red ginseng. According to the grade of mortal, spiritual, true and immortal, this century-old red ginseng can be classified into the lower grade series of spiritual level.
"With this red ginseng as the main medicine, plus some medicinal materials in the cave, it can be used to refine a furnace of Da Huan Dan. If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to raise your cultivation to the peak of the demon soldiers again (the same peak, but the height is different)!" Bai Fu's heart moved, he stepped forward, pointed to the red ginseng and asked the shopkeeper, "How can this ginseng be sold?"
The reason why Bai Fu only said that it was "ginseng" and did not mention red ginseng was because red ginseng already had spirituality, not ordinary ginseng, and people who knew how to do it would definitely raise the price, so he pretended to be a person who didn't know how to do it, and then he would bargain.
"The guest officer has a good eye, and at a glance he has taken a fancy to the best of this ginseng, the rare red ginseng!" the shopkeeper immediately complimented.
"What is naked, naked, I don't understand, you say a real price, I will take it if it is suitable. Bai Fu would not stupidly follow the other party's words to ask what is rare about red ginseng, give the other party a chance to brag and boast, and pretend to be rude.
The shopkeeper couldn't eat the bottom of Bai Fu, and muttered: "Three thousand knives!"
"It's too expensive!" Bai Fu ...... The predecessor is also a demon who often deals with medicinal materials, a hundred-year-old red ginseng, valued at 2,500 dollars, and the store earns fifty dollars, this opening is 3,000 dollars, which is obviously a slaughter, so he said: "Your ginseng, at most a hundred years, is worth at most 2,000 dollars!"
Hey, if you want a high price, you want more knives, you want to kill people, and to bargain is to talk about knives, which is to bargain. Thinking like this, Bai Fu couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that the secret way is not to kill people and bargain, because of the use of knife coins?
To be continued......
