Chapter 45: The Gatekeeper of Horror
Ning Zhe, who was hurriedly walking upstairs, naturally didn't hear Elder Chunhui's self-talk, otherwise there would be no joys and sorrows in the future.
Coming to the third floor of the Dan room, Ning Zhe directly entered the room where the medicinal materials were stored, took out the Dan Fang again, and carefully looked at the seven medicinal materials on it, and then began to rummage through the neatly placed medicinal materials. You must know that there are countless medicinal herbs in the world, and there are many similar shapes, tastes, and effects. He didn't want to find the wrong medicinal herb and make a big mistake because of a momentary negligence.
However, with the small note given by Elder Chunhui, he was extremely quick to find the medicinal materials, but in the time of a stick of incense, he found and confirmed three kinds of medicinal materials, namely the Nishang Flower in the Extreme Yin Land, the thousand-year-old smoked ginseng, and the thousand-year-old Thunder Fire Grass. Carefully putting these three medicinal herbs into the box beside him, he breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he would find three kinds in this Dan room alone.
However, after thinking about it, this Phoenix Burning Heart Pill is only a mid-level spirit pill, and the materials required are naturally not too precious, but it is too early to be happy. The remaining four medicinal herbs and the medicinal introduction of the phoenix gall were the things that gave him the most headache.
After carefully searching the third floor again, and making sure that there was nothing he needed, he put Dan Fang away, turned around and walked downstairs.
Coming to the door of the Danfang, Elder Chunhui with a smile on his face was standing there: "How is it? How many have you found?"
Ning Zhe handed over the box in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Seven kinds of medicinal materials, now I have found three, it is already a huge harvest, thank you for the guidance of my predecessors." ”
Elder Chunhui frowned, and said as he took the box: "This is all exchanged by yourself with spirit stones, it doesn't have much to do with me, I have calculated it for you, you just took out a total of three thousand spirit stones, and the conversion points into contribution points are three thousand points." These three herbs are needed in total...... Not...... A total of 3,700 lower-grade spirit stones are needed, and after removing your original contribution, you still need to give me 500 spirit stones. ”
"Uh......"
After listening to his words, Ning Zhe was speechless for a while, and he took out more than half of the lower grade spirit stones at once, but he didn't expect it to be enough, shaking his head, he reached out and wiped it on the storage bag, and a small pile of spirit stones appeared on the table.
Seeing these spirit stones, Elder Chunhui was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ning Zhe with a hint of strangeness in his eyes. In his mind, it was already the limit for a third-generation disciple to be able to take out three thousand spirit stones, and this was probably the family wealth that Ning Zhe had saved by selling a lot of things. Therefore, he was ready to put some spirit stones on Ning Zhe, and then woo him. However, he didn't expect Ning Zhe to take out another five hundred spirit stones without thinking about it.
"I didn't expect that your family background is quite thick. Elder Chunhui chuckled helplessly, since the other party was not short of spirit stones, he could only use other methods.
"If there is nothing to do, then the disciple will go back first. Ning Zhe looked at the spirit stones on the table and felt a pain in his flesh, although there were still three hundred medium-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, but he didn't dare to take these things out easily, because he had asked before, even if it was the first seat of Yanchen, it was impossible to take out three hundred medium-grade spirit stones at one time, this number was too huge.
Elder Chunhui pondered for a moment, made a gesture for him to wait, turned around and entered the inner room, and when he came out again, he already had a box in his hand and handed it to Ning Zhe casually.
"Oh, you owe me a thousand spirit stones, remember to pay it back later. ”
Ning Zhe took the box suspiciously, opened it, and saw that there were three thumb-thick red wooden sticks neatly placed inside, these wooden sticks seemed to have been burned by the fire, but they exuded a trace of aura. The moment he opened the box, even the fire elemental in the air suddenly became active.
"This is the earth-fire wood!"
Ning Zhe's heart burst into ecstasy, this was the fourth medicinal herb he was looking for: earth fire wood.
He hurriedly bowed down and bowed to Elder Chunhui, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness, you will repay Ning Zhe for your kindness later." ”
When Elder Chunhui heard his words, his originally smiling expression suddenly became a little lonely, and he muttered, "Repay, one day in the future, I will fall into your hands, you can raise your noble hand......
His voice was extremely low when he said this, and Ning Zhe was ecstatic, and he didn't hear what he said at all, so he asked in surprise, "What did you say, Elder?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Elder Chunhui waved his hand, and then said, "You still don't have four flavored medicinal herbs here, do you know where to find them?"
After Ning Zhe hesitated for a moment, he still replied slowly: "I know a little bit about the whereabouts of the phoenix gall. However, the other three-flavor medicinal herbs, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work......"
Elder Chunhui pondered for a moment, put his hand on his shoulder, and squeezed it vigorously a few times before saying, "Do you know about the Cultivator Bazaar?"
"Cultivator Bazaar?" Ning Zhe was at a loss for a moment, he had never known that such a place existed.
"This cultivator's bazaar is a place for cultivators to buy and sell treasures, where you can buy almost anything as long as you have enough spirit stones and treasures. It's just that you used to be a lowly cultivator and didn't have the qualifications to participate, but now that you have advanced to the Sacrificial Skill Realm, this is no longer a secret to you. Elder Chunhui said this slowly, then took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Ning Zhe.
"There is the specific location of the cultivator's bazaar in this jade slip, and you can go there to see the few remaining medicinal herbs. But remember, there are no forces there, so murder and treasure hunting happen from time to time, and you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, Elder Chunhui's expression was a little complicated, and he turned around and returned to the back of the desk.
Ning Zhe looked at the jade slip in his hand and the box containing the earth fire wood, bowed to the other party again, and hurriedly walked out.
"Cultivator's Bazaar!"
It was the first time he had heard of this place, and he thought that the least people who could go there were monks from the Sacrificial Realm, and I am afraid that there were some old monsters from the Self-Refining Realm and even the Dan Realm. He is not even a section of the sacrificial realm now, and the danger of going it alone is self-evident.
However, now Shiyang's cold poison is imminent, and he doesn't have much time to delay.
"Even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire, I'm going to break through!"
He was afraid that the first seat of Yuanchen would stop him, so he did not turn back to Yuanchen Peak, but asked a disciple of Yuanchen Peak to give a word to the first seat of Yuanchen and asked him to help take care of Shiyang, and then left the Xuanling Sect and flew towards the cultivator bazaar marked in the jade slip.
"Now there are still three hundred medium-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, it should be no problem to buy those few flavors of medicinal materials, and after arriving there, the first thing is to replace these medium-grade spirit stones with low-grade ones to facilitate circulation. ”
Ning Zhe kept counting the number of spirit stones on his body, and then made a detailed record of the materials he wanted to buy. Only then did he go at full speed and head towards the cultivator bazaar marked in the jade slip.
There is a mountain named Mingzhi in the southwest of Danguo, and there is a huge canyon in the middle of Mingzhi Mountain, which is called Mingzhi Valley. Although this canyon is not large, it is blocked by clouds and mist all year round, and people who collect medicine and hunt nearby occasionally strayed into it, but never came out again.
And on this day, at the foot of Mingzhi Mountain, a man dressed in green clothes came, with a black giant sword on his back, his hair tied at random behind his head, and he was standing in the air and constantly looking at the mountain peak in front of him, this person was Ning Zhe.
It took him two days to fly before he arrived here from the Xuanling Sect in the north, and according to the jade slips, this Mingzhi Valley was where the cultivators' bazaar was located.
Ning Zhe did a little pranayama on the spot, and then walked towards the misty canyon, and walked for an hour before he saw the buildings in the valley.
When he approached, he saw a dilapidated gatehouse standing in the middle of the road, and beside the gatehouse, there was a table, and an old man was lying on the table with his eyes closed.
As if hearing Ning Zhe's arrival, the old man didn't open his eyes, and said lazily: "You need to pay two hundred spirit stones to enter the valley, if you have it, you can go in, if not, please go back the same way!"
"Shhh
Hearing this old man's words, Ning Zhe couldn't help but gasp, this cultivator bazaar was also too dark, and it would take two hundred spirit stones to get started. It's no wonder that only monks from the Sacrificial Realm can come here, I'm afraid that ordinary Guyuan Realm monks can't even afford to pay the travel expenses.
Hearing that Ning Zhe didn't react for a long time, the old man straightened up, his eyes slowly opened, and his gaze swept over him several times. Suddenly, a powerful coercion descended on Ning Zhe's body, and he only felt that the spiritual power in his whole body seemed to be solidified, and the golden light spots in his body also dimmed.
"Refining one's own realm! This old man is actually refining one's own realm!" Ning Zhe's heart beat wildly, the kind of coercion just now, even when Elder Han Yuan made a move on him, was not so strong. This old man is definitely a genuine self-refining realm powerhouse, fortunately he didn't say anything sarcastic just now, otherwise I'm afraid it would really be difficult to explain.
This cultivator bazaar is really extraordinary, an old man guarding the door is a powerhouse in the realm of refining himself, no wonder Elder Chunhui said that no one dares to make trouble here.
Ning Zhe's hand wiped on the storage bag, and two hundred spirit stones appeared on the table in front of him. The old man closed his eyes again, threw him a wooden card and a hat, and said impatiently: "By wearing this hat, you can hide your identity." Go inside, don't do anything in the bazaar, or you'll bear the consequences!"
The moment the old man closed his eyes, Ning Zhe suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had receded like water, and the spiritual power in his body was surging again. He put the wooden sign in the storage bag, put on the hat, and bowed respectfully to the old man, and then hurried into the canyon.
As soon as he stepped into the canyon, he felt a purple light curtain pass over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a market. This bazaar was no different from the bazaar of the ordinary mortal world, except that there was not the slightest sound of selling, and on both sides of the road were placed some talisman treasures, elixirs, genius earth treasures, and other items used by cultivators.
There were quite a few people in the bazaar, but it was far from crowded, and many people wore a hat on their heads like him. However, there were a very small number of people who did not wear it, but after careful observation, Ning Zhe found that these people were at least masters of the third stage or above of the sacrificial realm, and they were all famous figures, so they disdained to do such sneaky things to hide their identities.
Seeing so many masters, Ning Zhe was not surprised or overjoyed. The more strong people there are, it means that there are indeed a lot of good things in this bazaar, so it is very likely that the medicinal materials he wants can be found here.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the bazaar......
