Immortal Journey

Chapter 16
"Dragon beard grass, golden wind tendon, Luoyehong...all grow very well," Ren Ling carefully inspected the growth of the herbs in the medicine garden, observing the state of each herb with concentration, "ah..." Treat her lightly. When he flew over the scale leaf root, he suddenly let out a low cry, and frowned slightly, "The scale leaf root seems to be a little more wilted than yesterday."

In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, the scale leaf root is basically the same as yesterday, but Ren Ling still found the difference from the light green at the bottom of the root leaf with a slight yellow. Originally, Granny Cao mentioned the scale leaf root pole It is difficult to grow, and the survival rate is often less than one-tenth, and there is no comprehensive and complete method for the cultivation of the cultivation. Ren Ling sighed, and carefully watered the herbs before leaving the herb. garden.
"Maybe I can go to the library inside the door to find out if there is any method of growing scale-leaf roots?" Ren Ling recalled the few words explaining scale-leaf roots, bit his lip and walked towards the library. Only then did Shi Shi learn that the original library is only open to Qi training period disciples on the first day of each month, and usually only disciples above the foundation building period can come in and out at will. Thank you, turn around and leave.
It is now noon, and there is still about an hour before the afternoon class. Most of the disciples have gone to the dining hall or found a place to rest in groups. Ren Ling wandered around the square alone, and suddenly remembered that he had heard Senior Sister Zhou mentioned that there is a miscellaneous storehouse near Tongbaozhai, which is specially used by the disciples in the sect to exchange items. There are various magic tools, pills, talismans, and books. You can set up a small stall to sell.
"Maybe there will be some gains." Seeing that it was still early, Ren Ling made up his mind and walked quickly to Zazangxuan.
Miscellaneous Cangxuan is a long hall with many stalls on both sides. Because it is noon, there are not many people now. Most of the disciples who set up the stalls are sitting cross-legged on the ground listlessly. Occasionally, disciples in twos and threes pass by, only to open their seats. Say hello spiritually.
Ren Ling unhurriedly looked at the stalls one by one, and there were indeed all kinds of weird things here, as Senior Sister Zhou said. See if there is any related content.
Walking to a stall, I saw the disciple who set up the stall dozing off with half-closed eyes, Ren Ling didn't wake him up, but looked carefully at the things on the stall.
Picking up a piece of jade slip, placed it between her eyebrows, and found it was some kind of qi training method, so she put it down again, and took the rest to look at it, but unfortunately there was nothing she wanted, and was about to leave when the stall The Lord woke up suddenly, looked at Ren Ling with a smile,
"This junior sister, what are you looking for?"

"Hmm..." Seeing the other party asking, Ren Ling concentrated for a moment, and said, "I want to look for books on medicinal herbs. I have read all these jade slips, and they don't seem to be there, so..."

"Medical herbs!" The stall owner interrupted Ren Ling, swept the jade slips on the stall aside, and mysteriously took out a thick book, "It seems that there are no books about medicinal herbs in the sect. It meets the needs of my junior sister, so I came here to shop, right? Speaking of this, you are really right to come to my place today!"

Ren Ling heard the words, looked at the heavy but old book, and asked curiously, "Is this book about medicinal herbs?"

"Of course!" The stall owner rubbed his nose and smiled, "Little Junior Sister, let me tell you, this book is not an ordinary book. It was found in the cave of a monk in the late foundation establishment period, and it was collected by that monk. Written by my own personal experience, this book not only covers the content of herbs, but also covers astronomy and geography, everything is comprehensive, it is really a resounding encyclopedia!"

"Can I take a look?" Ren Ling saw that the man was spitting all over the place, but the interest that was originally aroused has faded a lot, and the eager eyes looking at the book have become much calmer.
The stall owner put the book back into his arms, shook his head and said, "You can't just read the book directly, but I copied some of the outline of this book, so I can show it to you."

After finishing speaking, he rummaged through the storage bag for a long time, took out a piece of worn-out jade slip, and handed it to Ren Ling.
Ren Ling was not annoyed, because monks basically had ten lines at a glance, and they had a good memory. After reading this book, it may have lost its value for purchase, so it is normal to make a summary and provide it to the seller.
Just like the various jade slips on these stalls, in fact, only part of the content can be viewed with spiritual knowledge, and most of the remaining content is locked with the secret lock formula, and the seller will remove the secret lock formula only after purchase.
Taking the worn-out jade slip and placing it between his eyebrows, Ren Ling branched out a ray of spiritual consciousness to poke in, looked at it carefully for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed, because not only did the scale leaf root be mentioned in the abstract, but there were several kinds of medicinal herbs in the same shape and shape. The medicinal herbs at the foot of Moyujian Mountain seemed to match each other. Taking the jade slip away, Ren Ling took a long breath to calm down his agitated mood, and asked as calmly as possible, "How do you sell this book?"

Even though Ren Ling tried his best to hide his emotions, the stall owner had been doing business all year round, and he knew that he had found a buyer for this book from the quick flash of surprise in Ren Ling's eyes. He seemed to be hesitating and said, "This junior sister, this book of mine is the only one in the whole sect, even in the whole world. Seeing that my junior sister is new to me, she must have just entered the school this year. Senior brother will treat it as a personal favor. Sell ​​it to junior sister at a lower price, fifteen spirit stones will do."

Ren Ling thought to herself, in addition to the one hundred spirit stones distributed by the sect, she also had hundreds of spirit stones from her grandmother and mother (the two sisters are basically the same in this regard), and her wealth depends on her own opinion. It is quite generous, because usually she basically does not spend spirit stones, so she thinks fifteen spirit stones are not too expensive, besides, she really wants to know the content recorded in this book, she bit her lips and was about to say yes, when suddenly A dignified voice came from the side, "Lu Datao, you want to deceive the new junior sister again, don't you?"

Ren Ling looked back, and saw a group of senior sisters wearing black Taoist uniforms approaching, the leader of the group was a woman with long hair tied up in a bun, looking heroic.
"Ah! Senior Sister Hu, you are here!" The stall owner's complexion changed, and his face was full of smiles, "Where is it, what is it, I am serving my junior sister."

"Service?" Hu Yu looked straight at the stall owner, glanced at the book in his hand and said, "Are you cheating money like this? Who doesn't know that your book is worth three spirit stones at most? How many years haven't you sold it? Just look at the new little junior sister who doesn't know the goods, and want to make a fortune? Are you afraid that our inspection team will send you to the inspection hall to see and see?"

The stall owner shook his hands when he heard the words, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his temples, and said with a smile, "No, don't do this, I was just joking with this little junior sister, haha," he turned to look at Ren Ling, handed over the book in his hand,
"Little Junior Sister, I'll sell you three spirit stones for this book, how about?"

"Yes." Ren Ling nodded, took out three spirit stones from Mo Yujian and put them in the hands of the stall owner, took the books and turned to leave the hall.
Seeing the inspection team about to leave at the gate of the hall, she trotted over, and when she reached Hu Yu, Ren Ling quickly bowed, raised her face and smiled, "Ren Ling thanked Senior Sister for her help."

Hu Yu stopped, looked at Ren Ling's pure and lovely face under the sun, the corners of her tightly pursed lips were slightly drawn,
"Junior Sister Ren, this is a matter within the supervisory team, so there is no need to thank me." Looking at the book that was not put away in Ren Ling's arms, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Junior Sister is just getting started, so I still have to learn from the basics. It is better to read less heretical books."

Seeing the back of the inspection team going away, Ren Ling flipped through the books he bought in confusion, and whispered, "Is this book heresy?"
