I don't know how long it took, the empty hall was slightly cool, and the spirit stones that had lost their spiritual energy were scattered on the ground at will. A young man in a green shirt lay quietly on the ground, breathing slowly and his face ruddy.

"Uh-huh......" a soft grunt sounded in the empty hall. The boy woke up, it was Zhang Fan.

He opened his eyes and sat up hurriedly, feeling that the futon woven by the spirit grass was still under him, and his face showed a little happiness, and then he became happy again.

He looked around slightly, then closed his eyes and sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that I was in a coma for three days and three nights. ”

"Chirp......" A snake chirped out. Zhang Fanfang felt that his waist was loose, and he saw the golden scales rushing out, his stunned face suddenly turned red, and he laughed at himself: "I actually forgot it!" As he spoke, he took out a dragon blood fruit and fed it to the golden scales. Seeing this, the golden scales screamed happily and grabbed the yellow fruit and climbed aside to enjoy it.

Zhang Fan stood up, looked around again, frowned, and thought to himself: "My cultivation is not high, so I will stop for a while and then study the Little Lost Trace Formation." Alchemy requires elixir, and I have to prepare early, so it seems that I have to go to Fang City. Then he cleaned up the cave, bathed and changed clothes, and after eating a grain of Bigu Dan, he took the golden scales and went out.

After a while, Zhang Fan came to the southwest city of the Beiming faction.

This is a Xiuxian bazaar composed of spiritual islands connected by a spacious rainbow bridge, and small shops of different sizes are arranged on both sides of the not very straight avenue, and disciples come and go on the street.

It turned out that this was a fang market jointly opened by the monks of the Beiming Sect, and most of the descendants of the monks and miscellaneous disciples with poor qualifications lived in the vicinity of the neighborhood. Although the Beiming faction does not accept many disciples each time. However, as a great sect of ten thousand years, the descendants of the deceased monks did not return to the world, but survived and multiplied on the North Stygian Island and the surrounding spiritual islands. Years have passed, thousands of years have changed, and now there are hundreds of thousands of monks and mortals on Beiming Island alone. It is no wonder that the Beiming sect is reluctant to accept monks with a spiritual root index below sixty as disciples.

Zhang Fan had only been to the Fang Market once before, and in order to buy some practical talismans, he had visited the Fang Market all over the place. Today, he was going to buy a large amount of ordinary first-grade spirit grass for alchemy.

Not more than a moment. Zhang Fan came to a shop called "Elixir Pavilion" in the fang, and saw that there were not many customers, so he walked in quickly.

"Shopkeeper's. This is my Gathering Spirit Grass, can you help me calculate how many spirit stones they are worth?" said a woman in a green shirt. As she spoke, she handed over a storage bag. The old shopkeeper at the counter took the storage bag with a smile, only felt it slightly, and said, "Fellow Daoist." You have eighty-one low-level spirit gathering grasses. The spirit grass is fresh, but the medicinal age is insufficient, and each spirit grass counts as five lower-grade spirit stones, for a total of four hundred and five lower-grade spirit stones. ”

The woman said lightly: "Shopkeeper, why did you reduce the price again, wasn't the spirit grass I sold you last time six spirit stones a plant?" The shopkeeper smiled: "Fellow Daoist, it's not that the old decay bids low, but that the cultivation of the new disciples in the sect has generally been promoted to the third level or above the third level of Qi cultivation." The price of the lower grade Juling Pill has dropped. The woman said lightly: "If you reduce the price next time, I won't come to you again." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "This time it is impossible to do it." The old decay will definitely raise the purchase price for you next time. However, if you have more than 100 years of Gathering Spirit Grass, you can increase the purchase price. The woman said lightly: "Let's talk about it next time." ”

The old shopkeeper took the spirit grass, handed the storage bag and spirit stone to the woman, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, your spirit stone." The woman took her things and put them away, turned and left.

The old shopkeeper saw that Zhang Fan had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly said: "This fellow Daoist, do you have any elixir for sale?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "I want to buy Gathering Spirit Grass and Ginseng." ”

As soon as Zhang Fan's voice fell, the woman who had just walked to the door suddenly stopped, and the old shopkeeper was even more shocked and speechless.

After a while, the old shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Daoist friends want to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill, right? We not only have Gathering Spirit Grass, ginseng, but also Qingxin Lotus here." Less than 100 years old spirit grass, abundant spiritual energy, 15 spirit stones, 100 years of ginseng, full of medicinal effects, 14 spirit stones, 100 years of pure heart lotus, 50 spirit stones. How much do you want?"

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Didn't the shopkeeper say that the Gathering Spirit Grass is only five spirit stones per plant? Why did it triple all of a sudden, and a hundred years of ginseng is not a rare thing, how can it be worth fourteen spirit stones?" The shopkeeper smiled: "Fellow Daoist doesn't know, the Gathering Spirit Grass sold by that Fellow Daoist just now is only a twenty-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass." How can the hundred-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass sold by the old decay be compared to the twenty......-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass?

Zhang Fan knew that the so-called hundred-year-old medicine was just an imaginary number. The monk judges the quality of the elixir based on the amount of aura contained in the elixir and its efficacy. The old shopkeeper wanted to deceive Zhang Fan, but he found the wrong target.

So Zhang Fan said lightly: "Shopkeeper, you don't have to blame me." A hundred-year-old spirit gathering grass counts as one six spirit stones, a hundred-year-old ginseng counts as one five spirit stones, and a hundred-year-old Qingxin lotus counts as one ten spirit stones. The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Don't joke around, fellow Daoists, the hundred-year-old spirit gathering grass needs at least twelve spirit stones per plant......

Before the old shopkeeper finished speaking, Zhang Fan smiled and said: "What the old shopkeeper said is true?" The old man smiled: "I dare to swear to the sky......" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan said: "There are just some hundred-year-old spirit gathering grass here, I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so sincere, so I ......" said and made a gesture to take off the storage bag on his waist.

Hearing this, the old Taoist waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy first, the small shop has rich reserves of hundred-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass, and we will not buy Hundred-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass for the time being." Zhang Fan sighed and said, "It's a pity......" said and turned around and left quickly.

After the old shopkeeper was slightly stunned, the old face blushed, and he hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, please stay!" However, Zhang Fan had already left.

Not long after Zhang Fan walked out of the door, he saw the woman who was selling spirit grass in the Elixir Pavilion. She seemed to be waiting for Zhang Fan, and when she saw him coming, she said, "I've seen Senior Brother, I heard that Senior Brother wants to buy Spirit Grass?" Zhang Fan nodded, and said without thinking about it: "It's a pity that the shopkeeper's price is too high......

As soon as Zhang Fan was halfway through his words, he stopped, turned to look at the woman, and said strangely: "You have something to do with me?" The woman smiled: "Shangguan has seen senior brother in late autumn, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing me." Zhang Fan smiled: "It turned out to be you." I'm planning to learn the art of alchemy recently, and I really need a batch of mature low-grade spirit grasses. In particular, Juling Grass, Ginseng and Qingxin Lotus. ”

Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "It just so happens that Senior Sister and several fellow disciples have planted some low-level elixirs on Huansha Island, Senior Brother might as well go and take a look?" Zhang Fan smiled silently when he heard this. Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry. The junior sister will never let the senior brother suffer. Zhang Fan smiled: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Then the two of them went west, and after half a day, they came to an island full of aura.

This is a vast spirit island, but the concentration of spiritual energy is far less than that of the Ghost Flame Island where Zhang Fan lives. Huansha Island is thousands of miles in circumference, with continuous mountains and wilderness. Zhang Fan entered the island with Shangguan in late autumn, and did not travel long to a quiet valley in the middle of the island.

The valley is wide and open. There is a large piece of spiritual bamboo planted in the back, seven or eight houses in the middle, and a piece of quiet spiritual field in front.

Shangguan Wanqiu came with Zhang Fanxing. Pointing to the surrounding Lingtian and said, "Senior brother, all around here are the hundred-year-old elixir planted by the junior sister, and in front of it is the junior sister's cave." As he spoke, he led Zhang Fan to the bamboo house.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the bamboo hut. Shangguan made some spiritual food in the late autumn and entertained Zhang Fan. The two chatted while eating.

Zhang Fan saw that he came in with Shangguan Wanqiu. After a long time, I didn't see any outsiders, so I couldn't help asking, "Senior sister, why is there no one on such a big spirit island?" Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Senior brother, there is no need to doubt, everyone has their own affairs, either busy cultivating, or cultivating elixir in the mountains and wilderness, unless there is a specific time." If there is an auction in the market, it will gather together. Discuss the Tao and the law, and collect the needs of cultivation. ”

Zhang Fan nodded as if he didn't understand, thought about it, and said, "I'm going to study the art of alchemy in the near future, and my senior sister will tell me about the price of the elixir." Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Senior brother doesn't need to worry. Since that day, after the miraculous resurrection of the senior brother, the disciples in the door rumored that the senior brother practiced the art of resurrecting the dead, the senior sister knew that there were many untruths, but she was also full of curiosity, can the senior brother tell me about the situation that day, how did you return from the sea of spirit beasts like ants?"

Zhang Fan was helpless and said with a smile: "I was rescued by a senior in the door and did not enter the sea." Senior sister, let's talk about the elixir, right?" Shangguan Wanqiu's strange look on his face flashed when he heard this, but he didn't pursue it much, so he asked, "How many first-grade spirit grasses does Senior Brother want?" If there are more of them, the price can be cheaper. The junior sister promised her senior brother that she would never break her word. ”

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Thank you, junior sister, I am just trying alchemy for the first time, you can first give me three kinds of first-grade lower-level spirit grasses with one hundred plants each." When Shangguan Wanqiu heard this, the look of surprise on his face flashed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, the spirit grass and ginseng that are less than a hundred years old have five lower-grade spirit stones for each plant, and eighteen lower-grade spirit stones for one hundred-year-old Qingxin Lotus." Since the senior brother doesn't need much, the junior sister can't afford to discount it for the time being, but if the senior brother wants it in the future, the junior sister will definitely give the senior brother the best price. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he slightly regretted that he had followed Shangguan Wanqiu here, but he didn't hesitate, so he took out twenty-eight jade boxes containing a hundred spirit stones and put them on the table, and said, "Senior sister, these are the spirit stones needed to buy medicinal materials." ”

When Shangguan Wanqiu heard this, he took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it to Zhang Fandao: "Senior brother, this is the elixir you need." Zhang Fan took the storage bag and looked at it, then smiled: "Thank you, junior sister." Farewell!" he said, standing up and leaving.

"Wait!" Shangguan collected the spirit stone in the late autumn, and hurriedly said when he saw that Zhang Fan was leaving. Zhang Fan smiled and said, "What else is the matter with Senior Sister?" Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Since Senior Brother is planning to refine Dan, he must need a quiet place and a good Dan furnace." There was an alchemist on the ancestor of the younger sister, although the ancestor was deceased, the alchemy room and alchemy furnace he used were in the backyard, where his old man's alchemy experience was left for many years. Senior brother, why don't you do alchemy here, and also save the pain of going back and forth. ”

Zhang Fanhu was suspicious and a little hesitant. Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, senior sister won't ask for your spirit stone." Zhang Fan asked, "Is there really such a good thing?" Shangguan Wanqiujiao smiled and said, "Senior brother, you don't plan to live here for a long time." ”

Zhang Fan nodded, thinking, "I don't have anything to covet from others, so it's better to practice alchemy here and talk about it." When he thought of this, he said, "Thank you, junior sister." Leave. So saying, he walked to the backyard. Shangguan Wanqiu chuckled, nodded silently, and then went out. (To be continued......)
