Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"Boss, this is compensation for your loss today. See if it's enough." Seeing this, the boss waved his hand and said, "Not so much, not so much. Miss, you gave too much."

The woman frowned slightly when she heard this, her eyes full of thought, as if she was thinking about how to start the conversation.

The young man next to her who had just had his acupuncture points untied snorted coldly: "Humph, I told you to take it, so you take it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

After saying that, he raised his leg and prepared to leave the restaurant, obviously angry.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was frightened and hurriedly blocked the boy and the girl's way.

"Oh! Young Master, please don't leave. It's my fault. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face. He really wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so mean?
It's obvious that this young man and girl are not short of money, so why don't you just accept it directly?
Seeing the shopkeeper's submission, the young man smiled and said, "Okay! Since you are so sincere, I won't bother with you."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper kept nodding in agreement.

"Young Master is so magnanimous. I am very grateful to you."

"Well, in that case, why don't you clean up the best room in your restaurant?"

"Also, you are not allowed to receive anyone in the next few days, understand?"

Hearing the young man's words, the shopkeeper dared not disobey and nodded in agreement quickly.

"Well, very good, you are very sensible."

After saying that, the young man took the woman's hand and walked upstairs to the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the room, the woman said helplessly, "Ayao, we came to Shennongjia to look for elixirs and poisonous insects to raise. Could you please stop making trouble?"

"Sister, I didn't. I chased them away for your own good." The young man A Yao retorted dissatisfiedly.

Seeing that the young man still did not repent, the woman angrily taught him: "Ayao, there are many capable people in this world. If you always act willfully, be careful not to lose your life!"

"Sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!" A Yao pleaded.

"And I'm really hungry now and want to eat something." He blinked, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

The woman felt pity for A Yao's aggrieved look. She sighed softly, "You only know how to act like a spoiled child."

After saying that, she shook her head, smiled bitterly, and turned to leave.

Soon, she returned to the house with a plate of cakes.

The moment he saw the pastries, A Yao's eyes immediately sparkled.

He jumped off the table excitedly, sat down happily on the edge of the bed, and then couldn't wait to pick up the pastries and savor them carefully.

"It tastes so good, thank you, sister." After eating, A Yao licked his lips with satisfaction.

However, seeing her brother so happy, the woman's face was filled with worry.

Although she loved A Yao very much, she was more worried about his safety.

Therefore, when A Yao was enjoying the food, she just sat quietly by his side, while A Yao was completely immersed in the world of food without noticing anything.

Just then, a dark shadow quietly appeared in the room.

Soon, the black shadow slowly turned into a black snake under the gaze of the two. The black snake climbed onto the table and said to the two: "Saintess, Saint Son, the High Priest has new instructions."

Ah Yao curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Old man, you only know how to order people around while you hide in the altar to pray."

Hearing this, the woman patted A Yao's head gently and said, "Don't be disrespectful."

Black Snake chuckled: "Holy Son, you only dare to complain outside."

The woman also looked at the childish A Yao helplessly, then turned to ask the black snake: "Snake Spirit, what instructions does the priest have?"

The snake spirit slowly replied: "The priest sensed the presence of gods in Shennongjia through the altar, and speculated that it might be the remains of gods from the war between gods and demons."

When Ah Yao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "The remains of the battle between gods and demons? Will there be any artifacts?"

The snake spirit replied calmly: "Even if there is a divine weapon, it is broken and no one can repair it now."

But A Yao didn't care: "No matter what it is, as long as there is a treasure."

The woman poked A Yao's head helplessly: "The artifact is not important. We can't use it even if we find it."

The snake spirit added: "The saint is right. The key point is the flesh and bones left behind by the gods and demons. The priest wants you to go and investigate."

The woman was silent for a moment and then said, "Since they are the remains of the gods, we will naturally go to Shennongjia to look for them as soon as possible. This opportunity cannot be missed."

Ah Yao interrupted excitedly, "We're going to make a killing this time. We can actually come across the remains of a god! Maybe we can even get a guardian beast!"

He walked up and down the room, full of joy.

Although the woman nodded, there was a strange flash in her eyes: "Ayao, Shennongjia is full of dangers and monsters. We must be careful."

Ah Yao disagreed: "Sister, the spiritual energy has just revived, and the strength of those monsters is at most level four. And we have protective magic weapons and high-quality spiritual tools rewarded by the priest, so there is no need to be afraid."

After saying that, he patted the woman's shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister, don't think too much, it will make you age prematurely."

The woman looked at the heartless A Yao and sighed, "You are always so optimistic and accept your fate. I don't know whether it is good or bad. Forget it, just go with the flow."

The next day, Yang Ling rejected Zhang Hao's request to go with him.

Zhang Hao and his companions have low strength and average personalities, and are not ideal companions.

Looking at Zhang Hao and others who were hesitant to speak, Yang Ling decided to make some good friends.

He took out the pills and magic weapons he had made and said, "Meeting is fate. How about I sell these pills and magic weapons to you at a low price?" Zhang Hao and others' eyes turned red when they saw these treasures.

These things may not be worth mentioning to Yang Ling, but they are rare treasures to them.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Hao asked cautiously, "Brother Yang, how much are these elixirs and magic tools for?" Yang Ling smiled and said, "Big sale, I have plenty."

Zhang Hao swallowed his saliva, mustered up the courage to pick up a bottle of hemostatic pills and asked, "How much is this?" He was nervous, worried that he didn't have enough money. His companions also looked at Yang Ling nervously.

Yang Ling glanced at everyone and spoke slowly: "This is a first-grade superior healing pill, which is several times more effective than ordinary hemostatic pills. Each bottle is sold for 50,000 taels of silver."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This was indeed a big sale price. So except for Zhang Hao, everyone else bought three or four bottles of hemostatic pills. Then someone took a fancy to a silver long sword and asked flatteringly, "Brother Yang, how much is this sword?"

Yang Ling looked at the sword and smiled, "It's just a casually made intermediate magic weapon. I'll charge you the cost." Then he threw the sword to the other party and said, "This sword uses nearly a thousand kilograms of mithril and purple gold sand to construct the runes. The price is one spirit stone."

The young man who took the sword was a little worried when he heard the offer. He only had silver bills but no spiritual stones. After thinking for a while, he took out all the things in his storage ring and said, "Brother Yang, my spiritual stones are all stored with Master. Do you think these spiritual materials and spiritual medicines can offset it?"

Yang Ling was not angry, but started to choose.

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, happily stroked the silver sword in his hand, and then quickly put it into the storage ring.

After some selection, Yang Ling found several satisfactory spiritual plants, and took away all the spiritual materials.

Then he threw two bottles of Gu Yuan Dan to the boy and said, "Your spiritual materials are good, I accept them all. This Gu Yuan Dan is my compensation to you."

After hearing this, the young man was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly. The people around him stared at the storage bag in his hand with envy. These things were treasures in their sect, but Yang Ling gave them away casually, which was shocking.

Seeing that the young man and Zhang Hao had gained a lot, the others quickly followed their footsteps to choose their favorite magic weapons, and handed their storage rings to Yang Ling to choose.

Yang Ling did not despise it. After some hard work, Zhang Hao and others got their favorite magic weapons, and Yang Ling also harvested a lot of satisfactory spiritual plants and materials.

This deal was a great bargain for Yang Ling, because although he could mine the spiritual materials himself, it would be too time-consuming and laborious.

Now that there are ready-made spiritual materials, he only needs to pay a few unused low-level magic tools. And Zhang Hao and others also left happily.

In the past, they could only attract the attention of the sect’s weapon refiners if they performed outstanding feats or found rare spiritual materials.

Otherwise, those weapon refiners wouldn't even look at them.

Even if they were willing to sell the refined magic weapons, the price would be several times, or even dozens of times, what Yang Ling paid, and the quality would be far inferior to Yang Ling's magic weapons.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao and others were filled with gratitude towards Yang Ling and cast grateful glances at him.

Seeing this, Yang Ling waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Okay, let's say goodbye here. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the future."

After saying that, he turned around, walked out of the room and went downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, Yang Ling ran into the boy and his sister who were about to leave.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Ling walked straight past without looking around.

Seeing this, the boy did not make trouble.

However, when he saw Yang Ling walking alone towards Shennongjia, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Sister, it seems that the man is planning to go into Shennongjia alone?" the young man asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, the woman looked at Yang Ling's receding figure and responded in a low voice: "A Yao, I once said that there are many masters in this world, but they tend to keep a low profile. The road to cultivation is full of hardships, and truly capable people usually don't like to fight with others."

Faced with his sister's teachings, the boy muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Sister always lectures me, it's so annoying!" The woman shook her head helplessly and turned away.

Shennongjia, this vast mountain range located in the former territory of the Chu State, stretches for thousands of miles and was a major dangerous place in the Chu State.

Deep in Shennongjia, it is said that monsters are rampant, and there are even rumors that gods and demons have fallen here.

As soon as Yang Ling stepped into Shennongjia, he was attacked by a monster.

With a roar, a dark-furred wolf pounced forward.

Yang Ling kicked the wolf beast away casually.

"Ouch..." The wolf screamed in pain as it got up from the ground and pounced on Yang Ling again.

Yang Ling still stood there calmly, without even looking at it.

When the wolf approached, he suddenly raised his right leg and kicked out violently.

"Crack" the sound of broken bones was heard, the wolf fell to the ground again, howling and starting to twitch.

Seeing that the wolf beast was dead, Yang Ling patted his clothes and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a giant python suddenly jumped out from a distance. It was huge and circled towards Yang Ling to bite.

The giant python is not only incredibly fast, but also extremely ferocious in its attacks.

In the blink of an eye, it approached Yang Ling.

Yang Ling drew out a long sword without hesitation, circulated his true energy, and swung it out quickly.

The long sword, with a fierce murderous aura, chopped straight at the giant python's vital point.

"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing was heard, sparks flew, and the powerful force pushed the giant python back several steps.

But Yang Ling was as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.

"You evil beast, you actually dared to sneak attack your grandfather. You must be tired of living." Yang Ling snorted coldly and raised his knife to chop again.

However, the giant python did not dodge and let the blade strike it. But the result was shocking - the extremely sharp blade could not break the giant python's scales.

Then, the giant python rolled its tail, and with a "pop", Yang Ling was smashed several meters away.

There was a shocking scar on his chest, and blood gushed out.

Looking at the wound on his chest, Yang Ling calmly took out a hemostatic pill and swallowed it.

This is not the first-grade hemostatic pill that he sold to Zhang Hao and others, but a top-grade hemostatic elixir.

As soon as he took the elixir, the scars on Yang Ling's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and soon disappeared without a trace.

However, this giant python was too ferocious and blocked Yang Ling's fatal blow with its body alone.

This instead aroused Yang Ling's desire to fight.

In the past, he only encountered first or second level monsters, which he could easily deal with, which was really boring.

Just when Yang Ling stopped to rest, the giant python attacked again.

"Ang!" After a shrill hiss, the giant python suddenly jumped up and bit towards Yang Ling.

Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he quickly dodged the giant python's attack.

Then, he swung the long sword in his hand rapidly, and in an instant, sword lights appeared in the sky.

"Bang bang..." The long sword's blade energy caused bursts of explosions in the surrounding void.

The sword energy chopped on the giant python, and the sound of golden swords resounded through the sky, like a muffled thunder.

A moment later, accompanied by the python's screams, Yang Ling finally dealt with the giant python.

After killing the giant python, Yang Ling directly dug out its inner elixir and put it into the storage ring, and the giant python's body was thrown into the mustard seed space.

In the next few days, Yang Ling hunted and killed a dozen first-level monsters, and the number of monster core cores in the storage ring gradually increased.

So Yang Ling, who had nothing to do, decided to release the Jade Jewel Spirit and the Ginseng Spirit Zhao Yican out of the mustard seed space to get some fresh air.

Jin Yuan Guo also left the mustard seed space.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy around Shennongjia, Jin Yuanguo sighed in a low voice: "If the gods and demons had not fought here in the past, the spiritual energy here would be even more abundant."

"The battle between gods and demons? Have gods and demons ever fought here?" Yang Ling looked at the Jin Yuan Guo curiously and asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was ten thousand years ago, when I first began to gain spiritual wisdom." Jin Yuanguo said with emotion, "That battle directly caused the spiritual veins of Shennongjia to shatter. If it weren't for the revival of spiritual energy, Shennongjia would probably have become a place where evil spirits would have settled."

Hearing this, Yang Ling pondered for a moment and then asked: "Old Jin, do you know where the battle between gods and demons is?" (End of this chapter)
