Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 159 Traveling alone, seeking medicine from wood and stone 【Subscription】

Zhou Daoyi successfully broke through to the late stage of foundation establishment, there is no need to hide this news.

Soon all the monks of the Zhou family learned the good news.

All the members of the Zhou family are also very happy about this from the bottom of their hearts.

But if you want to say who the happiest people are, it must be Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan.

For Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoyi's breakthrough to the late stage of foundation establishment meant that he could transfer to "Golden Tripod Profound Art" without worry.

As for Zhou Daoquan, after Zhou Daoyi's breakthrough, he can leave his family to travel far away in peace of mind, looking for opportunities to open up the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, shortly after Zhou Daoyi left the customs, Zhou Chun asked him to take charge of the family affairs again, and he was going to go out to find the materials for refining Jinling Tiaoqi Powder.

Jin Ling Tiao Qi San is a kind of elixir, which is too rare to use, and it is very unrealistic to rely on buying and exchanging.

But without this thing, the "Golden Cauldron Profound Kung Fu" level of casting a cauldron will become very difficult.

Therefore, Zhou Chun must obtain this item.

Now, through various channels, he has gathered other refining auxiliary medicines for this thing, and only two important main medicines are needed before he can invite someone to start a furnace to refine medicines.

"The world of cultivating immortals is in crisis. Although your Silver Lightning Thunder Python has been promoted to the second level, if you go out alone, you still have to be careful. Remember the lesson of exchanging pills last time!"

Before Zhou Chun went out, Zhou Daoyi also gave him some Chunchun advice, telling him to be more careful.

Although the foundation-building monks have initially possessed the strength to travel far alone in the world of cultivating immortals, they are not completely without danger.

Especially monks like Zhou Chun who go out alone to find certain materials are more likely to be targeted for this reason.

But living alone in a different place means being plotted against by someone, and the family has no way of avenging him, and they don't even know who plotted against him.

So Zhou Daoyi could only tell him to act carefully, not to reveal his wealth and cards easily.

"The younger generation must keep the patriarch's advice in mind."

Zhou Chun nodded seriously, and then left the family alone.

The place he was going on this trip was Cangzhou in Jingguo, thousands of miles away, which was the territory of the Yanyang Sect of the Jingguo sect.

The two main ingredients for refining Jinling Tiaoqi Powder appear more often there.

I saw that after he left Jiufengling, he directly flew into the air and headed towards Cangzhou.

This is also Zhou Daoyi's suggestion to him, on the way, don't easily reveal that you own a second-order flying magic weapon, and don't expose the existence of a second-order silver lightning thunder python.

In this case, those powerful bandit cultivators with malicious intentions will not look at him at all, and if the weak really attack him, they will be killed by him instead.

However, if you fly under the air, not only the speed is average, but also the mana consumption is high.

Generally, in the early stage of foundation establishment, in order to retain enough mana to deal with the enemy, they should first find a place to recover mana after flying less than a thousand miles.

But for Zhou Chun, this is not a problem at all.

He didn't have to take a detour to find a place where he could restore mana along the way, he just flew in a straight line along the way.

When the mana consumption is too high, just find a mountain forest to drill and meditate to recover.

In this way, he would not have to enter the city or the monks' settlement, so he would be less troublesome to be targeted.

So it took him just over three days to arrive in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is located in the central and western part of Jingguo, and its adjacent Yanzhou is where the Yanyangzong Mountain Gate is located.

There are many mountains in this state, and there are rich mineral deposits. The environment for cultivating immortals is better than that of Lanzhou, and it is more prosperous overall.

However, the situation in this state is also relatively complicated. Although the Yanyang Sect is the ruler in name, in fact, because of the rich mineral resources in Cangzhou, the Moon Wheel Sect and Qinglian Temple have also intervened here to support some forces. .

In the past, there would be reshuffles among small forces every few years. Except for a few families with deep roots, not many local cultivating families could survive here for a long time.

Especially when new mineral veins are discovered, there will often be battles surrounding the competition for the mineral veins.

Before Zhou Chun came, he also knew that the situation here was complicated, so after arriving in Cangzhou, he didn't use the name of the Zhou family.

But this time he didn't use his identity as a casual cultivator, but pretended to be a child of a Xiuxian family in Yunzhou who moved the family's mountain gate due to the invasion of the Dragon Sect.

After all, a loose foundation cultivator of his age is not only unique, but it is also extremely rare, and this identity is too eye-catching.

Changing to a family monk, although relatively rare, seems much more normal.

And Cangzhou and Yunzhou are thousands of miles apart, unless you happen to meet someone who is familiar with the situation in Yunzhou, otherwise it will not be easily exposed.

In this way, after searching for people in Cangzhou, he easily entered Jinquanfang City, the largest square city in Cangzhou.

Compared with Hongyafang City and Donglingfang City that Zhou Chun had been to before, Jinquanfang City is much larger, with more shops and more monks.

And Zhou Chun also found out that there are also quite a lot of Foundation Establishment cultivators coming and going here.

When he was in Hongyafang City, it was rare to see a Foundation Establishment cultivator when he walked around the street.

But after he walked around Jinquanfang City, he saw three Foundation Establishment monks passing by.

Obviously, being able to attract so many foundation-building monks here means that the shops in Jinquanfang City can find what they need.

This made Zhou Chun feel more hopeful.

After some investigation, he walked into a shop called "Mushizhai" in Fangshi.

This "Wood Stone Studio" belongs to a grocery store, and they sell elixir, spiritual gold ore, etc., but the price is slightly higher than the market price.

After Zhou Chun entered, he saw that the shopkeeper was dealing with a customer.

Seeing him come in at this time, although the shopkeeper was only in the Qi refining stage, he didn't immediately neglect the previous customer because he was a foundation cultivator.

Instead, he bowed his hands apologetically and said: "Senior, please wait a moment. After the junior has finished the transaction with this fellow Taoist, I will entertain the senior."

Perhaps it was because of this attitude that the customer who had cultivated in the Qi refining period was greatly satisfied.

He quickly paid the spirit coins and left the shop with the purchases.

At this time, the grey-haired shopkeeper came forward to apologize to Zhou Chun with a face full of apology: "I'm sorry to trouble you for waiting so long, this junior apologizes to senior."

"It's okay, first come first served first, the shopkeeper did nothing wrong."

Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

Then he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "I don't know if your store has more than 500-year-old golden leaf bamboo roots and top-grade golden rat gall for sale?"

Hearing what he said, the shopkeeper immediately shook his head and said, "Senior, the two kinds of spiritual things you mentioned are available in the store, but the age and appearance of the medicines do not meet your requirements."

Regarding this answer, Zhou Chun had already expected it in his heart.

After all, the golden leaf bamboo roots that are more than 500 years old can not only be used to refine Jinling Tiaoqi Powder, but also can be used to refine some more advanced medicines, which can't be bought in ordinary shops.

As for the top-grade golden rat gall, it needs to be taken alive from the body of the first-rank top-grade monster beast golden rat.

Generally, this first-order top-grade golden rat is the rat king of a group of rats. It is extremely difficult to capture it alive for courage!

So he didn't show any disappointment at this time, just continued to look at the shopkeeper and said: "Jiang heard that your store has a business of offering rewards for finding objects. If Jiang is willing to buy these two items at a price higher than half the market price , what does the shopkeeper think?"

Offering rewards and finding objects is a special business of some Fangshi shops.

Generally, it is the kind of shop with a wide range of roads that will open this kind of business.

They will ask customers to add a certain amount of rewards according to the value of the spiritual objects they want to buy, and then use their own powerful network channels to collect relevant spiritual objects for the guests.

Zhou Chun also came here to inquire after hearing about this kind of business in "Wood and Stone Studio".

And the shopkeeper who heard his words quickly replied: "This shop does offer rewards and find things, but if the seniors want to do this business, the juniors can't be the masters."

"Then please ask the shopkeeper to invite someone who can make the decision."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and asked him to invite someone.

When the shopkeeper heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Then please come back in the evening, senior. By then, the manager of the store should be able to come to the store."

"Okay, then Jiang will come back in the evening."

Zhou Chun stared at the shopkeeper for a while, finally nodded, turned and left the shop.

After he left, the shopkeeper quickly closed the door and went to the backyard of the shop.

Soon after, he returned to the front hall, reopened the door and started business.

In the evening, Zhou Chun arrived at the "Mushizhai" store as scheduled.

Seeing him coming, the shopkeeper hurried forward to salute and said: "The junior has met the senior, the manager of our store is already waiting in the backyard, the junior will take you there to meet."

After speaking, Zhou Chun took Zhou Chun outside a living room in the backyard, and then returned to the front hall by himself.

Zhou Chun walked into the hall where the door was open, and saw a middle-aged woman with a mid-stage foundation-building practice sitting inside making tea.

Seeing him enter the room, the other party got up and greeted him: "Jiang Daoyou, your courtesy, my concubine's surname is Luo and her name is Qingyi, and she is currently the manager of this Mushizhai."

"Fellow Daoist Luo is very polite. My surname is Jiang and my name is Zishan. I come from Yunzhou."

Zhou Chun bowed his hands and saluted, and also reported the origin of his alias.

Hearing his words, the woman named Luo Qingyi just smiled, not knowing whether she believed it or not.

Immediately, he slightly raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "Jiang Daoyou, please sit down first, let's talk about it after a cup of tea."

As he spoke, he lifted the steaming teapot and handed a cup of tea to Zhou Chun.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Luo, for the tea."

Zhou Chun thanked him, but just took a little smell of the tea and put it on the table.

When he was away from home, he naturally didn't dare to really drink the tea and wine given by strangers, and doing so would be considered as a way of showing face.

Seeing this, Luo Qingyi did not show any displeasure.

He just took a sip of hot tea by himself, then looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Jiang Daoyou came all the way from Yunzhou, just to buy two kinds of elixir?"

"Yes, Jiang found out after many inquiries that only Cangzhou in Yasukuni has the chance to find golden-leaf bamboo roots and top-grade golden mouse gall that are more than 500 years old."

Zhou Chun nodded and admitted without hesitation.

It's not something to keep secret, nothing to admit.

Seeing this, Luo Qingyi immediately continued: "Gold leaf bamboo grasses over 500 years old are very rare, and there are almost no wild ones. We can only look for them in the medicine gardens of various families."

"Although our store knows which forces have such spirit herbs, if Jiang Daoyou wants to buy them with spirit coins, no one will sell them!"

"As for the top-grade golden rat guts, it's hard to keep for a long time, and it's not easy to get. We can't find it for fellow daoists for a while, so we can only provide you with news about a few groups of wild golden rats. Let's take a look. Can you get the medicine yourself!"

After finishing these words, she took another sip of tea and waited for Zhou Chun's reply.

After Zhou Chun heard what she said, he frowned slightly and began to think.

After a period of time passed like this, Zhou Chun looked at Luo Qingyi and said: "When Jiang went out, he only brought spirit coins for buying elixir. If he bought golden leaf bamboo roots at twice the market price, wouldn't it be okay?"

When Luo Qingyi heard this, she shook her head and laughed and said, "Jiang Daoyou is also a family cultivator, you should know how difficult it is to find such aged elixir, and generally unless you are in urgent need of money, which family will take this elixir in exchange for it?" Spirit coins?"

"Don't say it's twice the market price, even if it's three times the market price, no family is willing to sell it!"

How could Zhou Chun not understand this truth.

But after he suffered a big loss from Master Jiang last time, how dare he expose any rare things easily now.

Especially in places like "Wood and Stone Studio".

At the moment, I could only sigh helplessly: "Hey, Mr. Jiang also understands what Fellow Daoist Luo said, so please tell Mr. Luo which houses have golden leaf bamboo roots. Come and exchange for something of equal value!"

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists together and said: "Also, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Luo to tell you about the location of those gold-eating rats. Jiang will also go there with the elders to get the medicine when the time comes!"

"That's easy to say. If you're just providing information, Fellow Daoist Jiang only needs to pay [-] spirit coins."

Luo Qingyi narrowed her eyes and quoted the price with a smile.

I have to say that the price she quoted was very dark!
Five hundred spirit coins are enough to buy a 500-year-old golden-leaf bamboo grass.

Of course, it was the kind of wild elixir bought from casual cultivators.

But Zhou Chun knew that he could only give the money himself.

Otherwise, it would not be a matter of five hundred spirit coins!
"It's easy to say, here are five hundred spirit coins, please keep them, Fellow Daoist Luo."

He happily took out a big money bag, counted [-] spirit coins from it and put it on the table.

"Then please fellow Daoist Jiang wait a moment, this concubine will enter the information you want into the jade slip and give it to you."

Luo Qingyi scanned the number of spiritual coins on the table with a smile on her face, took out the jade slip on the spot, entered the relevant information, and handed it to Zhou Chun along with a map of Cangzhou.

And after Zhou Chun got the things, he didn't want to wait any longer for a moment, so he cupped his fists and saluted immediately, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Luo, for your hospitality. Jiang will take his leave first."

"Jiang Daoyou walk slowly, I won't see you off as a concubine."

As Luo Qingyi said, she watched Zhou Chun leave the room.

Then she looked at the five hundred spirit coins on the table, and immediately put them into the storage bag with a smile on her face.

This is the advantage of being in the business of offering rewards and finding objects. In many cases, there is no need to really help exchange things, just provide a message.

The premise is that there must be a sufficiently broad network of contacts and a strong background.

"Well, if any of them really makes a deal with someone at that time, give them a hundred spirit coins, so let's not say that we can only enter Mushizhai!"

　Second more!
