Chapter 114: Liar
The team advanced little by little, and soon it was Han Xiaoshu's turn.
Just now, Han Xiaoshu observed that everyone who entered the city would pay a black stone coin as the cost of entering the city.
Those who don't have that kind of stone coin will pay one lower grade spirit stone, and the guard at the door will recover eight stone coins.
When it was Han Xiaoshu's turn, he also took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the guards.
The cultivation of the guards is not high, only those who have just entered the realm of mortal wombs.
After receiving Han Xiaoshu's spirit stone, he handed back the remaining eight stone coins and a token.
Another guard, who seemed to be the leader of the team, said to him when he saw Han Xiaoshu's appearance.
"It looks like you're here for the first time, remember.
You can only stay in the capital city for a month, and you'll have to come out before the token turns white.
Otherwise, the thieves will be expelled by the Shadow Feather Army in the city. ”
Han Xiaoshu was slightly puzzled when he heard this, there was still a time limit in the city.
Walking up to the team leader who had just spoken, Han Xiaoshu quietly stuffed five stone coins in the man's hand and asked.
"I don't know how you found out that I came from somewhere else, big brother. ”
The man gently checked the stone coin that Han Xiaoshu stuffed over, and couldn't help but sigh at Han Xiaoshu's generosity.
If you are on duty at this south gate for a month, you can only get a low-grade spirit stone.
"Ahem, recently, because of the alchemist competition, there are a lot of people like you who have come from other places.
Little brother, you are here to participate in the selection of the medicine boy. ”
"Oh, and the medicine boy selection?
Younger brother, I went out with a caravan for the first time, and I came to watch it when I heard about the competition of alchemists, and I had never heard of the selection of medicine children. ”
Han Xiaoshu really hadn't heard Char mention this.
"Oh, I see. ”
The guard leader sighed lightly, and had already classified Han Xiaoshu as a wealthy boy who traveled with the caravan.
Then he continued.
"The selection of medicine children is not as famous as the alchemist's competition, so outsiders don't know much.
It is said that there are already 1,000 people who have signed up to participate in the alchemist competition this time, and among these 1,000 people, only the last ten people can be recruited by the Ethereal Palace.
Each of these ten people can recruit two medicine boys to enter the Ethereal Palace together.
Therefore, every time the alchemist competition is opened, it will attract a large number of people to participate in the selection of medicine boys. ”
Hearing this, Han Xiaoshu understood that the selection of the medicine boy was to choose an assistant for the alchemist.
Just as Han Xiaoshu was still able to continue to ask questions, a red horse entered the city through the middle gate with four hooves.
I saw that the horse's long mane was flying, and the horse's hooves were surrounded by this red flame.
"...... was that?"
Han Xiaoshu turned his head and asked.
"The one who just entered is one of the people who participated in the alchemy competition this time, and these big names will occasionally come to the other three cities to purchase some medicinal herbs. ”
The guard leader explained to Han Xiaoshu.
After a few more conversations, Han Xiaoshu said goodbye and entered the southern city of the secluded capital.
Through the secluded city gate passage, Han Xiaoshu saw the interior of the southern city after entering the southern city.
Just like the old city in the previous life, a straight street goes straight inward, and the street is lined with large and small shops.
There are those who specialize in selling medicinal materials, and there are those who sell Ding furnaces.
There are also large and small inns and wine shops.
There is even a green building where young girls are above the attic and show off their demeanor to the crowd on the street.
All this made Han Xiaoshu feel like he had returned to the ancient times on earth.
Looking all the way, Han Xiaoshu is not in a hurry to stay in the store.
"Brother, are you here to participate in the medicine boy selection?"
A voice appeared in Han Xiaoshu's ears.
In fact, Han Xiaoshu had long known that someone was following him, and he wanted to see what purpose this person had before he exposed it.
Now that he heard the other party talking to him, Han Xiaoshu followed the other party's words and continued.
"Oh, how do you know?"
As he spoke, he showed a puzzled expression.
When the other party saw Han Xiaoshu's expression, he pulled Han Xiaoshu aside and said to Han Xiaoshu with a thief.
"I saw that you kept going into those herb shops, and judging by what you were wearing, you weren't a local.
Just judge that you are here to participate in the selection of medicine boys. ”
"Oh, so what. ”
Han Xiaoshu replied flatly.
"Hey, bro. That's a big deal. ”
Hearing Han Xiaoshu's words, the man was a little unhappy with Han Xiaoshu's tone. Hurriedly continued.
"You have to know that there are many more people participating in the selection of the medicine cartridge than the alchemist competition.
Do you know how many people participated in the selection of medicine boys this time?"
Speaking of this, the man also slapped Han Xiaoshu and continued.
"Fifty thousand people, fifty thousand people are long, only twenty people can be selected to follow the alchemist into the Ethereal Palace.
Those alchemists who have been selected originally had an entourage, and there were not even twenty of them. ”
After speaking, the other party seemed to feel a little sorry for Han Xiaoshu's preparation to participate in the selection of the medicine boy.
"Oh, can you guarantee that I will be chosen by the alchemist?"
Han Xiaoshu knew what the other party was thinking, it was nothing more than to arouse his interest and then take the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, hearing Han Xiaoshu's words, the man looked around left and right, and then said softly to Han Xiaoshu.
"Brother, I'm not happy with you. My ancestors once handed down a secret slip of ten thousand herbs.
It's a pity that it was passed on to my generation, but the qualifications were mediocre, and I couldn't inherit the inheritance of my ancestors.
I ......"
Speaking of which, the man actually left a few tears.
If Han Xiaoshu hadn't been paying attention to the other party, he would have almost been deceived by him.
Interrupting the other party's drama, Han Xiaoshu spoke.
"Oh? ”
When the other party saw and heard Han Xiaoshu's inquiry, he was even more nervous.
"This Ten Thousand Herbs Secret Slip is a jade slip handed down by my ancestors, which records the characteristics and appearance of tens of thousands of elixirs.
You should know that the selection of medicine children is to increase their score by identifying medicinal herbs.
The higher the score, the more likely you are to be selected by the alchemist, and with this Myriad Herb Secret, you will definitely be able to get the first place on the Medicine Boy List. ”
Hearing him say that, Han Xiaoshu shook his head for a moment.
If the other party didn't say it, he really didn't know that the medicine boy was selected by identifying medicinal materials.
"Then, you Wancao Secret Jane sells this one. ”
Han Xiaoshu asked with a look of ecstasy.
Seeing Han Xiaoshu, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic. The man knew that Han Xiaoshu had taken the bait.
But even so, the man still showed a reluctant look and said to Han Xiaoshu.
"Brother, you know that this is my ancestral jade slip, if I sell it, I'm really sorry for the ancestors. ”
Han Xiaoshu gritted his teeth, pretended to put his hand into his arms, took out three lower-grade spirit stones from the space ring, and said.
"I'm just these three low-grade spirit stones. ”
When Han Xiaoshu took out three spirit stones, the man's pupils shrank significantly.
Then he quickly came back to his senses and said to Han Xiaoshu.
"Brother, this is my ancestral treasure. ”
Hearing this, Han Xiaoshu pretended to be embarrassed and said that he only had three spirit stones, and no matter how much he could, he couldn't do it, it seemed that he didn't have that fate.
took back the spirit stone and prepared to leave, but Han Xiaoshu was pulled back by the man.
"Brother, you're right, fate is very mysterious.
I'll sell you this jade slip today, and when you enter the Ethereal Palace, don't forget to come back and take me with you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Han Xiaoshu.
Just as Han Xiaoshu was about to check the jade slip, the man said to Han Xin.
"Brother, there are a lot of people here, so let's wait until I go back and come to my senses. ”
Han Xiaoshu, who showed a wave of ecstasy, listened to the other party's words and put the jade pendant back in his arms.
"Brother, I have to leave beforehand. If you have any questions, come to the front inn and find me. ”
With that, the man left Han Xiaoshu and left.
Seeing the man leave, Han Xiaoshu took out the jade slip in his arms and smiled softly in the direction he left.
He didn't rush to follow, he had just left his mental power on the three spirit stones.
As long as he is within the range of his mind, the other party cannot escape from his palm.
Putting the jade slip into his arms, Han Xiaoshu followed in the direction where the other party left unhurriedly.
