Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 25
……

Four days later.

Two men and two women, seemingly ordinary young people, followed a caravan to Kaifeng City, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing the towering blue-black city wall and the constant stream of horses and horses passing in and out of the city gate, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

The trip went smoothly without any trouble.

It was the [-]th birthday of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the capital was naturally bustling with dignitaries and dignitaries who came to celebrate the birthday, as well as a large number of foreign missions and monks from various immortal families.

Although the gate of the city was guarded by the Imperial Army, there were many people that the Imperial Army could not afford to offend, and the gate inspection was very lax.

The three of Xu Chen didn't want to reveal Xingzang for the time being. After entering the city with the caravan, they didn't report to the palace first, but found a relatively remote small inn to settle down.

Brother Ninth casually threw a large lump of money to the innkeeper, ordered four quiet upper rooms to be prepared, and asked him to help buy some new clothes for the four of them.

The boss was very excited. Knowing that he had met a rich man, he not only arranged for his wife and daughter to come to help clean and organize the room, but also very kindly called the owner of the clothing store to help measure the data.

After the busy work settled down, the four of them finished washing up, and then they got together to discuss.

Brother Jiu looked at Princess Xiyun and said, "We have fulfilled what we promised you. Now that you are in the capital, you have to make arrangements for yourself."

Princess Xiyun didn't dare to force her, kowtowed on the ground and said, "Zhao Qian will never forget the great kindness of the three immortal masters and the Taiyuan Sect. Although the fact that my father has been ensnared in treason has been suppressed by King Pingxi There is a conclusion, but I think there will still be some people who will not believe it. I will secretly go to find and visit my father's old close friends. room."

Brother Jiu said: "Have you ever thought that these people may have been oppressed or threatened to defect by King Pingxi, once you appear, you may fall into the hands of King Pingxi."

Zhao Qian froze for a moment, her eyes turned red, and she said, "I'm not familiar with the capital, but right now I have no choice but to do this."

Senior Brother Nine held his chin and pondered for a moment and said: "We are not familiar with the capital, and we are even more unfamiliar with many high-ranking officials. We really can't do anything about this matter. You can try it out first. In addition, regarding the matter of Ziyang Sect and the elixir, I hope You can keep your mouth shut, and if there is an opportunity, we will mention this matter to the emperor, but we cannot interfere if it is successful or not."

Zhao Qian thanked them repeatedly, kowtowed to the three of them again, then got up and left the room, and soon left the inn alone.

Seeing Princess Xiyun disappear from her spiritual consciousness into the crowd, Zhao Xuan shook her head a little bit unbearably and said, "I'm afraid she won't be able to come back once she's gone."

Brother Jiu lowered his voice and said: "We must treat this matter with caution, and we must not be overwhelmed with love. If we are not careful, we may be folded in. If the news of the blood god grass falls into the ears of other immortals, I am afraid The next emperor's birthday will turn into a big fight."

Zhao Xuan naturally knew, so this sentence was mainly for Xu Chen.

Xu Chen curled his lips and said, "Brother, put your heart in your stomach, I believe in myself more than I believe in you."

Brother Jiu blushed instantly, rubbed his hands with a dry smile, and said, "Since the younger brother is clear, then I won't say much. Now that I have come to the capital, I still want to play around and have some exchanges with fellow Taoists from other immortal sects. This is a rare opportunity.”

Zhao Xuan also nodded with great interest and said: "Indeed, this is only the second time for me to come to the capital. The last time I came was with Seventh Senior Sister and the others. It can also be regarded as the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are several trading venues for fairy treasures inside and outside the city, and this time there may be many good things."

Xu Chen also became interested when he heard it, but hesitantly said: "Then what about Princess Xiyun, we don't care?"

Brother Nine said seriously: "We must take care of it, but we can't blindly intervene, but we have to wait and see how the situation changes, and only when we have the opportunity to step forward. In addition, our main task is to safely send the Blood God Grass back to the mountain gate. This is the top priority. "

Zhao Xuan also nodded quickly and said: "Little brother, you have also seen that King Pingxi was powerful in Song Dynasty, even the emperor was very afraid of him, and since he colluded with Ziyangzong and arranged for the masters of the real yuan to intercept and snatch the blood God Grass, maybe there is a backhand in the dark, we are weak right now, even if we want to help, we still need to find some helpers, we must not act rashly."

Xu Chen nodded. Although he has little experience and little training experience, and he is a layman to the battles among the powerful and royal families in the mortal world, he has experienced more things in the short ten days of coming to the capital than in the previous ten years. , and after a fierce battle, although he was only a role of helping soy sauce, his mind matured very quickly.

They are naturally not afraid of ordinary mortal kingdom dignitaries like King Pingxi, but if a large sect like Ziyang Sect is involved, and it also involves rare treasures like Blood God Grass, the three little shrimps in the world of cultivating immortals It will be wiped out in an instant, and even the Taiyuan Sect dare not say that it will be safe and sound.

After all, the efficacy of this elixir is too strong, and it is an irresistible temptation for any sect, even for those monks who have stopped for tens or even hundreds of years in the late stage of the alchemy realm, just waiting for the years to kill their lives , Even if you desperately want to participate in the snatching.

Because this is their only chance to live forever.

"Oh, it would be great if the Ziyangzong storage bag could be opened!"

Brother Ninth could not help but sigh depressedly.

Zhao Xuan and Xu Chen also smiled helplessly.

On the way to the capital, the three of them had studied these two storage bags in turn. The formations inside were extremely complicated and exquisite, and they couldn't be opened without the secret method of Ziyangzong.

In other words, it takes extremely powerful spiritual consciousness and vitality to break through the soul restriction set by that monk.

According to the black-robed Taoist priest's spiritual blockade, at least a strong person in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm or even the Dan Yuan Realm can do it.

"Forget it, let's go, let's go to the city first, have a good meal, and then go to some fellow immortals to communicate."

The three of them left the inn together, and were quickly attracted by the bustle and bustle of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. Like ordinary people, they began to go shopping, eat and drink, and bought some things they liked.

So the three of them didn't walk very far, so Brother Ninth bought a fine steel sword that was said to cut iron like mud and carried it on his back, and Xu Chen bought a cowhide satchel for the little fox to carry around conveniently. A wooden bowl, a pile of dried fruit, biscuits and snacks. Although Zhao Xuan is a fairy, she is also a woman. She is interested in some decorations such as silk scarves, hair clips and jewelry, and bought several of them.

The three chatted, laughed, ate snacks and went shopping. Xu Chen was dazzled by the dazzling array of signboards all over the street. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pointed in front of him in surprise, "Hey, there is a seller of elixir in front!"

Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "The elixir of bullshit is just a bragging of some doctors in folk medicine shops."

Zhao Xuan also glanced at it and said with a smile: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong, let's take the little brother in and have a look, don't even think about the elixir, but maybe we can get one or two ordinary herbs that are still suitable, and then refine some ordinary herbs." Dan can also be used as a bargain."

Brother Nine smiled and said: "That's fine, like Qingshuidan and Peiyuandan, although they are Fandan, they are still very tempting to the imperial court and folk casual cultivators, and they can be exchanged for a lot of things."

So the three of them quickly entered the elixir shop, but as Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan said, they smelled a strong herbal fragrance when they entered, but after scanning their spiritual sense, they were actually those in the medicine cabinet that were packed in porcelain and jade bottles. The seemingly luxurious pills have no aura. Although the pills are ordinary, the price makes Xu Chen dumbfounded. Each one costs tens or even hundreds of taels of silver. One of the crystal clear jade bottles is enshrined in the center of the lobby. In the medicine cabinet, there was a khaki-yellow elixir marked with the words Peiyuandan, and the price was as high as 1000 taels of gold.

"Hiss~" Xu Chen couldn't help taking a breath.

Although he is a monk, he has long left the mortal world, but he used to be just a lonely cowherd and dung picker, and he didn't see copper coins a few times throughout the year. As for gold and silver, he had never heard of it. I gave a few hundred taels of silver as money, and it was a luxury along the way, satisfying the desire of big hands to spend money, but 1000 taels of gold is converted into 1 taels of silver, which is so heavy that it can almost kill a cow.

Such a large amount of money, not to mention the rich family, even the princes and princes may not be able to easily get it out.

"Brother, is this Peiyuan Pill so valuable?" Xu Chen opened his mouth wide in surprise and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Brother Nine smiled and said: "Otherwise, although Peiyuan Pill is not top-grade, it is known as the number one pill under the elixir. Just one pill can almost create an ordinary master in the innate realm. In the eyes of the folks, it is equivalent to The existence of the elixir, as long as it appears, it will definitely fight for it."

Zhao Xuan also said at the side: "The preciousness of Peiyuan Pill is that the few herbs used are almost the top herbs in all medicines, and it is very difficult to collect them all, and even the three-day floating grass among them is even more effective. Medicinal breath can be used in panacea as medicine, so it must be valuable, the third elder asked me to go down the mountain to look for it two years ago, but I was unlucky, I went to Xiling Gorge and couldn’t find it.”

The three of them pointed at Peiyuan Pill, attracting the attention of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy. Seeing that the three of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes, they hurriedly strode over and saluted, "Could it be that the three of you want to buy Peiyuan Pill?"

Senior Brother Ninth released his breath slightly and curled his lips, "Is there anything good for Fan Dan?"

Although the shopkeeper is not a monk, he also has a foundation in martial arts. He felt his soul shake violently for a moment, and his legs softened and he almost fell to his knees. He immediately knew that the three people in front of him were immortal masters, and hurriedly clasped his hands again cautiously and said: "The villain is real!" I don’t know the three immortal masters are coming, please forgive me for the offense.”

Brother Nine waved his hands and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, let's go shopping and come in to see if your pharmacy has elixir for sale."

The shopkeeper smiled wryly and said, "The fairy teacher thinks too highly of us, how can there be any elixir in a small shop like ours."

"Then you still dare to put up signs that sell elixir?" Xu Chen interjected.

"That..." The shopkeeper kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves, and answered bravely: "Forgive me, immortal master, most of the mortal medicine shops are like this. Our small shop still has a Peiyuan pill, and other medicine shops have even more." Poor, Qingshui Pills are not listed for sale as usual..."

Seeing the terrified appearance of the shopkeeper, Xu Chen suddenly felt bored, so he said: "Senior brother and sister, let's go!"
