What bad intentions can a temple blessing have?

Chapter 487 "Change" and "Unchange"

Inside the settlement.

People were not very curious about the arrival of Jiang Qi and his group, but they would still take a few more glances at them.

Jiang Qi didn't care either, he just looked around with interest.

Jiang Qi is currently at the market in this settlement.

At the same time, it is also the longest and widest street in the settlement.

On both sides of the street, there are many small stalls, often placed in front of a tent.

Most of them are pottery or animal skins.

In short, they are all daily necessities.

"Jiang Run, are settlements like this common in the Fire Cloud Realm?"

Jiang Qi asked casually.

"Yes, as numerous as the stars."

Jiang Run replied: "Actually, relatively speaking, there are more cities, and settlements like this are relatively rare. But if we compare it to the entire Fire Cloud Realm, it is still considered a lot."

Jiang Qi nodded in understanding. If the living standard in Huoyun Realm was like this, it would not be possible to produce so many people with great magical powers.

Cultivating immortality also requires a material foundation.

Jiang Qi didn't ask any more questions, but just looked around aimlessly.

He stopped in front of a stall selling pottery, squatted down, picked up a pottery jar and looked at it carefully.

"You should be a noble man."

The stall owner was an octogenarian. When he saw Jiang Qi, he grinned and said, "How could you be interested in the earthenware here?"

“This is not rustic.”

Jiang Qi smiled and shook his head, saying: "If there were no pottery, the human race would still be drinking and eating with their hands."

"Ok?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are indeed a noble man. Your words are different. It makes people feel comfortable to listen to them."

Jiang Qi smiled slightly, looked at the pottery in his hand, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "It doesn't seem to be all clay?"

"You know anything about pottery?"

The old man's eyes lit up.

"I understand a little bit. The pottery here seems to have something more than ordinary pottery?"

Jiang Qi looked through the pottery jar and suddenly licked it with his tongue.
"Don't!"

The old man tried to stop him, but Jiang Qi had already started vomiting.

He raised his head and said with a bitter face, "Is it horse urine?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The old man laughed loudly and said, "You are really direct, my lord."

"It contains horse urine, which sounds dirty, but as long as you take it home and burn it, there will be no smell at all, but this is not the most important thing."

As he spoke, the old man moved closer in a mysterious manner.

"Do you know why I use horse urine?"

"I suppose it has something to do with another material besides clay?"

Jiang Qi continued the conversation.

"Yes."

The old man looked around for a while, and then said mysteriously: "In our land, there is a kind of iron ore that is finer and softer than iron ore in other places. It is not qualified to be used to make weapons, but if it is buried in clay, it can be more solid and durable."

"This is my family's secret recipe. I told you so because I thought you wouldn't steal my business."

"Of course, I can't tell you more detailed things like proportions."

Jiang Qi nodded in understanding, and said thoughtfully: "So, you used horse urine and added an additional firing process just to further fuse the pottery embryo and the iron ore powder?"

“You are this.”

The old man gave a thumbs up.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Qi asked with a smile: "What is the specific story behind this iron mine?"

"What are you talking about specifically?"

The old man thought for a moment, scratched his head and said, "My grandfather told me that this iron ore was originally an ordinary iron ore, but after an earth dragon turned over, it has changed and become what it is now. I don't know the reason behind this."

Jiang Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled suddenly.

"Variety……"

He chewed on these two words, stood up and looked at Jiang Run.

Jiang Run understood, took the jar from Jiang Qi, then took out some copper coins and placed them on the stall.

"Oh, that's a lot."

The old man rubbed his hands.

"The extra amount is considered tuition."

Jiang Qi smiled and nodded, bowed and said goodbye, then walked to the next stall.

"Thank you for the reward!"

Hearing the noise coming from behind him, Jiang Run looked at the jar in his hand in confusion.

Is there anything special about this thing?
She ignored Qiong Xiao's strange look and resolutely extended her tongue to lick it like Jiang Qi.

Jiang Run smacked his lips with a bitter face.

Qiong Xiao looked at her like a fool.

Couldn't she see that Jiang Qi had blocked all his supernatural powers, which was why he did what he did just now?

This silly girl didn't do that, why should she follow Jiang Qi's example?
Jiang Qi ignored Jiang Run's actions, but saw another stall selling shells.

"I see other stalls selling pottery, animal skins and other items, why are there shells here?"

Jiang Qi picked up one at random and held it in the sunlight.

The inner layer of the shellfish suddenly reflects a rainbow of colors, which looks quite magnificent.

"It seems that the noble man should have discovered it."

The stall owner was a sturdy woman who smiled and said, "My husband picked up these shells from a lake three hundred miles away."

"Although I picked it up, only my man knows where such beautiful shells are."

"Other shells are not so beautiful and symmetrical."

"Look, although you can't eat or drink this, it's a good thing to buy it home as a decoration."

Jiang Qi listened carefully and flipped through the shells in his hand.

It was just as the woman said, well-proportioned, beautiful, delicate, and with a natural beauty.

It is a "good-looking" shell.

"How did your man know that place?"

Jiang Qi asked curiously.

"I won't hide it from you, my lord."

The woman smiled and said, "My husband was a fisherman. A few years ago, he ran aground in Haihu Lake and was late for his return home, so he spent the night on the beach."

"But that night, there was thunder, one after another, but no rain came."

"By the next morning, all the shells in that patch had turned into this."

"Oh?"

Jiang Qi blinked and smiled, "There really are so many strange things in this world."

Is that a change too?
He thought to himself, picked up a shell, and then motioned to Jiang Run to pay the bill.

Jiang Run quickly took out some big bucks and picked out a nice one for himself.

Iron ore is change, and shells are also change.

A dragon turned over on the ground, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky...

Jiang Qi unconsciously stroked the shell in his hand, thinking silently in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Qi suddenly smelled a fragrance.

It’s the aroma of wheat.

Jiang Qi turned his head and saw a small stall selling baked pancakes that had just come out of the oven.

He walked over.

"Boss, five please."

Jiang Qi looked at the sesame-sprinkled scones and slapped the stall owner.

"okay."

The stall owner, who looked to be in his twenties, deftly took out a lotus leaf and wrapped five pancakes.

Jiang Qi didn't hesitate to pick it up and took a bite.

“Mmm… smells good!”

Jiang Qi praised it generously. He said that there was nothing special about the pancake, it just had the aroma of wheat and sesame. When it was roasted over fire, the aroma became even stronger.

"To be honest, even though there are more than a dozen pancake shops in this market, my shop still has the best tasting pancakes."

The stall owner smiled proudly and said, "The wheat from my field is the best in this fifty-mile radius!"

"It seems that you are very good at taking care of the land?"

Jiang Qi asked vaguely while eating.

Seeing Jiang Qi eating so happily, the stall owner felt proud and waved his hand.

"That's not the case. We have plenty of skilled hands to tend the fields here, so my family is taking advantage."

"A few years ago, there was a sudden heavy rain during the autumn harvest. Since then, the wheat in other fields has tasted a little different."

“It’s fuller and produces more grain, but it just doesn’t have that wheaty aroma.”

"My family is the only one that hasn't changed at all."

The stall owner smiled proudly.

“Although the harvested grain is not as much as that from other fields.”

"Since then, the pancakes in my house have been the most delicious!"

"I wouldn't trade this sip of wheat for ten ounces of gold!"

"Ouch!"

Jiang Qi nodded in amazement and said, "Other families have changed, but yours hasn't. You are so lucky!"

After the change, will it remain unchanged again?
