Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 210 I am the Golden Light Wanderer, Nine Lights Mysterious Pill
Baicao City has set up a conspicuous signboard outside the secret realm.

All the goodies that have been exchanged so far are listed above in order of value from high to low.

It is updated every half hour, and every change in the rankings will attract a large number of monks to watch.

Looking at the various spiritual creatures above, one could sigh with envy or jealousy.

Therefore, when Xiao Chen walked on this long street composed of temporary shops, all he could hear were the heated discussions of the surrounding monks.

Almost all the people here are foundation-building cultivators who have second-level spiritual herbs in their hands. They are excitedly moving between different shops.

View different redemption lists and points rankings.

They also happily argued about who had the biggest harvest and who had the best luck in this Baicao Secret Realm.

Various gossips with different names are mixed in, telling stories that make people envious.

"I have a friend who is an inner sect disciple of Baicao City. He just told me that a young man in the late stage of Qi Refining actually picked up a Sehua fruit."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him.

The Sehua Fruit is a fourth-level spiritual fruit, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Especially for a Qi-refining cultivator, this is simply a legend of getting rich overnight.

"Only in the late stage of Qi Refining?"

At that time, some casual cultivators widened their eyes and slapped their thighs: "Fuck, I worked hard for more than 20 days and didn't even see the leaves of a third-level spiritual fruit."

"This kid is so lucky!"

A passing late Foundation Establishment cultivator heard this and sighed with a wry smile, "Alas, thinking back to the time when I fought for the Foundation Establishment Pill, I don't know how much effort I put in."

"Later, in order to purchase a top-grade magical weapon, I spent another ten years searching for spiritual materials."

"This kid is so good, he solved all the problems with just one Sehua fruit. It's fate and timing!"

Another outer disciple from Baicao City curled his lips and said sourly, "Alas, these days, luck is more important than strength."

"Those inner disciples are just lucky."

"If I could pick up a Sehua fruit, I could join the inner sect and compete for the true teachings."

……

Of course, some people noticed something else.

"Come to think of it, this is already the twenty-third fourth-level spiritual herb, right? How come there are so many this year?"

"There's more than that, I heard that the current chief of the Star-Picking Sword Pavilion harvested five fourth-level spiritual herbs."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

"Oh my God!"

After a while, a casual cultivator exclaimed, "One person obtained five fourth-level spiritual herbs. This, this, this..."

Someone nearby chimed in, "This is simply unbelievable! How on earth did he do that?"

Even a passing Jindan elder couldn't help but say: "This kind of opportunity is something I've never heard of in my life."

There was even a female cultivator who gently covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of envy: "To become the chief disciple, strength and background are both indispensable. I didn't expect that even luck is so good!"

Her companions were sour when they heard this: "He really gets all the good things. Alas, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating."

When the others heard this, their expressions changed and they felt mixed emotions.

Only Xiao Chen, who was passing by, had a calm expression.

After all, when it comes to gains, it is no exaggeration to say that he is ahead of all other monks and ranks first.

If the Purple Gold Bodhi is included, I am afraid that the high-level spiritual medicines collected by other cultivators combined are not as many as his.

However, considering that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat, Xiao Chen did not take the initiative to speak out.

Instead, he chose to leave quietly and make a fortune in silence.

The Three Immortals Sect is a small sect.

Therefore, the shop they were assigned was located in a relatively remote area, almost at the very end of the row.

When Xiao Chen came over, he found that there was only one Jindan cultivator meditating in the store, and he didn't even have a companion.

Noticing someone coming to the door, the other party didn't even raise his head and said: "Fellow Daoist, our sect only accepts one piece of Purple Jade Auspicious Cloud Fungus. If you want something else, please go elsewhere."

After saying that, he continued to practice and absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

The entire store was empty, with nothing but a prominent redemption notice.

Xiao Chen didn't waste any more words and directly took out the Purple Jade Auspicious Cloud Ganoderma: "Here is what your sect needs. Did you bring the Heart Blood of the Traceless Elk?"

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately opened his eyes in surprise.

Then he put on a smile and said, "I'm so sorry. I was fighting with a sea monster a while ago and was invaded by that beast's true energy. I was busy regulating my breathing just now."

"That's why I neglected you, fellow Daoist. Please don't take it as a offense."

As he spoke, he took out an octagonal enameled bottle and took the initiative to open the cork: "The things are here, please check it out."

In fact, there is no need to do more inspections.

As the cork opened, a pressure from a fourth-level monster was naturally released.

The heart blood of a large monster is almost equivalent to the essence and blood of a cultivator, and is very easy to distinguish.

It is almost impossible to falsify information in this area.

Instead, Xiao Chen took the initiative to hand over the Purple Jade Xiang Yunzhi and asked the other party to check it as well.

"Hi~!"

As soon as the other party took it, he was stunned.

Then he hurriedly made hand gestures and used the induction technique to identify the year.

Finally, he showed a look of surprise: "The spiritual medicine that Daoist friend obtained is well preserved, and it may have been cultivated for more than two thousand years."

"This is truly a, uh, blessed person."

Although the Baicao Secret Realm opens once every fifty years, it will have opened at least forty times in two thousand years.

As a result, no one before him had discovered this Purple Jade Auspicious Cloud Ganoderma, but it was found this time. He could not think of any explanation except luck.

Then, the other party rummaged through the storage ring.

However, he soon revealed an embarrassed look: "This... please wait a moment, fellow Taoist."

He lowered his head and thought for a while.

Then he looked up and sighed, "Alas, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by fellow Taoists, but I don't have another spiritual object of equal value."

"But I do have a clue to a new ruin in the outer sea, which may be able to offset the price difference."

"I am willing to guarantee with the reputation of the Three Immortals Sect that the ruins are absolutely true."

"Of course, if you don't have time, I can also make up for it with spirit stones. But money is a little tight these days, so it may take some time. What do you think?"

Originally, the value of Purple Jade Auspicious Cloud Fungus and the Heart Blood of the Invisible Elk was about the same.

However, the plant in Xiao Chen's hand is very old and its effect is doubled, so it naturally cannot be calculated in this way.

It just so happened that the other party had been injured in a battle with a sea monster before, and had purchased a lot of elixirs to heal his wounds, so he was short of spirit stones.

So after much thought, he decided to provide another clue, or discuss postponing the payment of the spirit stone compensation.

"I'm Cao Mingjie from the Three Immortals Sect. I'm a bit well-known in the area east of Nanlaohai."

Afraid that Xiao Chen wouldn't believe him, the other party added, "You can go and ask around. I always keep my word and never lie."
.
There are many secret relics in the Eastern Region, and small relics appear from time to time.

In theory, the opportunity for first exploration is very valuable, and you might find something good left behind by your predecessors.

But Xiao Chen noticed that Cao Mingjie mentioned the outer sea.

The Eastern Region has always had the terms "inner sea" and "outer sea", and the rough dividing line is within the vast sea secret realm in the north, or outside the still wind sea in the south.

Eight hundred thousand miles east of Nanlaohai is Zhanlonghai, and six hundred thousand miles east of Zhanlonghai is Zhifenghai.

Rumor has it that big storms occur from time to time in the open sea.

But for the past million years, even the worst storms have never crossed the Sea of ​​Still Winds.

This is also the origin of the name Zhifeng.

In addition, according to some stories Xiao Chen had heard, there were many islands in the inland sea. Even if a Jindan Zhenren did not bring a spirit boat when traveling, he could basically find an island to use as a place to rest.

The number of islands in the outer seas is decreasing, and in many places they are almost non-existent. Similar to the situation in the boundary sea, long-term sea voyages require large spiritual boats.

The appearance of new ruins in the open sea means that the journey is long and it is more likely to encounter disasters along the way.

But then again, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Well, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Many ruins in the outer sea are more likely to have good things.

Especially in new ruins that have not yet been developed, there will often be fourth-level spiritual objects and even fourth-level inheritances.

The advantage of choosing spirit stones is stability, but the benefits are obviously limited.

Choosing the ruins may give you good things, but it will take a lot of time.

Xiao Chen tried to inquire, "Fellow Daoist Cao, do you have an approximate departure time?"

Asking this question actually involves seeking information about the ruins.

However, Cao Mingjie didn't care and gave a rough timeline: "In about five months, that is, by early May next year, I should be able to recover from my injury."

"I will follow my senior brother and set off early to make preparations."

"If you are free, we can go together and keep each other company."

Xiao Chen estimated that according to the current progress of cultivation.

By May next year, I will either be stuck at a small bottleneck and need to look for opportunities everywhere.

Either they have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core and their strength has greatly increased, giving them a certain ability to protect themselves.

In this case, it would be better to agree: "I happen to have time, so I will be honored to refuse."

So the two sides exchanged names and agreed on a time.

Of course, Xiao Chen used a pseudonym: "I am Jin Guang San Ren."

This title basically only appeared briefly in Lizhou, and no one in the Eastern Region knew about it.

After getting the Heart Blood of the Traceless Elk, he went to the entrance of the secret realm again to check the latest bounty situation.

There is no rush to exchange the Jiuyao Xuandan. Let’s see if there are any other transactions first.

Baicao City has put up a signboard here that is twice as big as the one in North City Square, and there are quite a few new bounties on it these days.

Almost all new bounties are issued in the name of individual monks, including many unorthodox monks.

The things they want are also very unpopular, and most of them are third-level spiritual objects.

The rewards offered are also quite special, with a distinctive style.

Xiao Chen saw at a glance that some painters were collecting Tuokong hemp vines, probably wanting to make Tuokong paper.

His reward was a hand-painted picture of chess and swordplay.

Baicao City specifically states that this map can only be used twice, but it can be activated with spirit stones.

The picture shows two sword cultivators sparring with each other. Each time it is activated, a sword cultivator with the strength of an early Jindan stage can be summoned from the picture, and it can last for about three hours.

As long as there are enough spirit stones, you can also invite two sword cultivators to help fight the enemy at once. To be honest, this thing is more useful than talismans.

Of course, the cost difference between the two may be a bit large, and the cost-effectiveness for self-defense is not high.

The main advantage should be that it can be stored for a very long time and can be kept in the sect or family to protect future generations.

In addition, there are more than ten types of cultivation, including the calligraphy cultivation of ink grass, the spiritual cultivation of ghost flower, the Kun cultivation of phoenix-patterned musk, etc.

Xiao Chen looked around carefully but did not find any cultivators from the Visualization School.

Today is the last day, and judging by the situation, there will probably be no new bounties this year.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could use the Fixing Leaf to exchange for a special trump card.

But even on such a great day, I couldn’t meet any visualization monks, and it’s hard to say when I’ll be able to meet them again in the future.

If that's the case, it would be better to exchange it for the Jiuyao Xuandan and improve your strength as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen went straight to the shop opened in Baicao City.

He took out the Zhengqi Fruit and Dingying Treasure Leaf in succession and exchanged them for four bottles of Jiuyao Xuandan and one bottle of Baizhuan Xuandan.

The former contains six pills per bottle, and the latter contains three pills per bottle.

This price is actually not cheap, but Baicao City usually sells it at a higher price, and the secret realm actually has a 30% discount these days.

However, there is also a restriction, that is, you must exchange it with fourth-level spiritual herbs to enjoy the discount.

If you buy it directly with spirit stones, the former is priced at 120,000 per bottle, and the latter is priced at 100,000 per bottle.

To put it bluntly, these two kinds of elixirs are not something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

Baicaocheng prepared separate compartments for transactions and proactively asked whether to disclose identities on the sign outside.

However, Xiao Chen shook his head and refused, leaving quietly with the pills.

It's better not to have this kind of empty reputation that has no benefits.

Although he is using a fake identity now, there is no need for that.

After returning to Baicao City, Xiao Chen did not rush to practice, but walked around the city several times to collect various information.

Although rumors are often not very credible, they are better than nothing.

Sure enough, he soon heard that City Lord Huo would appear in the square tomorrow and announce a big event.

There has been no such precedent in previous years.

Therefore, people have various speculations about this major event.

"Do you think it's possible that City Lord Huo is planning to marry a third Taoist partner?"

"Is there such a thing? Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any news on which fairy has been chosen?"

"In my opinion, there are probably too many fourth-level spiritual herbs in this secret realm. I'm afraid that outsiders will not be allowed to enter in the future."

"That seems to make sense. I heard from a friend that so far, more than thirty fourth-level spiritual herbs have appeared."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you ask me, it has to do with that Miss Wen who came a few days ago. I heard that there's a fight going on in Jingkonghai. Are we going to join the fight as well?"

"Oh shit, no way. What does their fight have to do with us? We absolutely must not resort to violence."

Xiao Chen listened patiently for a while, but it was obvious that these speculations were all nonsense, and none of them were credible.

It seems I should wait until tomorrow and go to the square early to find out the details myself.
.
The next morning, most of the square was surrounded by hundreds of Baicao City disciples.

Only a small path on the edge was left for pedestrians to pass through.

In the spiritual world, such thoughtful behavior is rare.

Considering that some people in the city openly discussed City Lord Huo's marriage yesterday, Xiao Chen guessed that the City Lord should be more approachable.

By noon, the square had been transformed into a magnificent venue.

Only then did many Jindan Zhenren from Baicao City appear one after another, and lifted the restrictions to allow the independent cultivators waiting outside to enter.

Xiao Chen noticed that almost more than half of the Jindan cultivators who entered the secret realm also appeared here.

Basically, all the monks belonging to various forces were invited.

It seems that something big is really going to happen, but it is very likely that it has nothing to do with the casual cultivators.

Soon, a ray of light streaked across the sky and landed outside the north city gate.

The legendary City Lord Huo walked in wearing a python robe and walking like a dragon and a tiger.

Surrounded by the elders of Baicao City, he came to the high platform in the square and waved to greet the monks present.

Immediately, a large number of monks responded by waving excitedly. It was obvious that this was not the first time such a situation had occurred.

However, despite the excitement, more than 10,000 monks had gathered in the square.

But everyone still consciously maintained order and quiet, and apart from the sound of breathing, there was basically no other noise at the scene.

It seems that even the most approachable Yuanying Zhenjun has the ability to eliminate noise.

That’s right, City Lord Huo’s full name is Huo Xinghuai. He had already become a Nascent Soul True Lord five hundred years ago.

He inherited the position of city lord three hundred years ago, and also changed his Buddhist name to Baicao Zhenjun according to convention.

Judging from the time, the other party is at least in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and it is very likely that he has even reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

Lord Huo didn't seem to like red tape. After greeting everyone, he went straight to the point and stated his plan.

The content is not complicated and is mainly divided into three parts.

First, he praised the disciples of Baicao City for their hard work during this period, and said that everyone was great.

At the same time, it was announced that everyone’s contribution points would be doubled this month.

Although many disciples did not speak, they all smiled with their brows and lips curled up, obviously very happy.

Immediately afterwards, City Lord Huo took out a list.

It was announced that a total of 104 fourth-level spiritual herbs and more than 3,200 third-level spiritual herbs were harvested in this Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.

Both of them broke the historical records since the establishment of Baicao City.

The number of fourth-level spiritual herbs is more than double the previous forty or so.

Compared with the more than 500 third-level spiritual herbs in the past, there are six times more, which can be called a great harvest.

According to past rules, even if the number of spiritual herbs decreases when the secret realm opens next time, there will still be far more high-level spiritual herbs in the secret realm than before.

Baicao City welcomes everyone to come again next time, there will definitely be a higher chance of obtaining high-level spiritual herbs.

"There are so many third-level spiritual herbs?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

He originally thought that his own gains alone would exceed the total of all other monks combined. Now it seems that there are more than 100,000 monks participating, and there is strength in numbers after all.

Fortunately, he had the Purple Gold Bodhi, so he still maintained the lead in the number of fourth-level spiritual herbs.

The last thing City Lord Huo wanted to say today, and also the focus of his speech, was that he planned to hold a spiritual medicine banquet in the City Lord's Mansion.

The banquet is scheduled for March 3rd.

At that time, there will be many alchemy masters, including those from other sects.

Several of his friends will also come to participate, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than four Yuanying Zhenjun present.

At the same time, he is here today to invite other monks to come and attend the spiritual medicine banquet.

As long as the cultivator has a fourth-level elixir and is willing to trade it with each other, he will automatically be qualified to participate in this elixir banquet.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience gasped in shock.

Fourth-level elixir?

I’m afraid this condition is a bit difficult.

Although fourth-level elixirs do not necessarily require fourth-level cultivators to obtain, overall, the difficulty of collecting them is still very high.

After all, this thing has a notable feature, which is that it is almost unsalable.

That’s right, even Wanxian Tower, Changxingfang and even Baicao City do not sell fourth-grade elixirs to the public on weekdays.

The reason is very simple. Even in the Eastern Region, there are not many fourth-level elixirs.

There are not enough elixirs for my own Nascent Soul True Lord, so how can I have any extra elixirs to sell?

At the same time, some smart people at the scene immediately realized why some people were willing to pay a high premium to buy the fourth-level spiritual herbs.

This is not about purchasing spiritual herbs at all, but about purchasing admission to the banquet.

The reason is simple.

On March 3rd, all the monks who have obtained the admission qualifications, no matter what their reasons, appear at the banquet, which shows that they are definitely not simple.

Especially for people like the owner of Fengyufang, these are connections worth making.

It is not necessary to establish any friendship on the spot, but if you can become familiar with them, it will naturally be much easier to deal with them in the future.

Xiao Chen also quickly figured this out and instantly understood Elder Qian's purpose.

If that’s the case, then I can sell the Millennium Weeping Spirit Flower with confidence.

In the afternoon, he found an opportunity to go to the City Lord's Mansion and successfully exchanged for a total of 350,000 spirit stones.

According to the latest auction price, the net profit is 150,000 spirit stones!

"The fourth-level elixir is not easy to make. I'd better practice first."

After returning to the inn, Xiao Chen thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was difficult to handle.

Anyway, he didn't really like this kind of banquet, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, nor did he take the initiative to plan for the fourth-level elixir.

Instead, he began to try out his newly acquired Nine Lights Mysterious Pill.

This top-level third-grade elixir looks quite impressive just from the outside.

Not only is there a bright aura surrounding Dan, but there is also a circle of fine lines on his body.

It looks like the legendary Danwen.

It is said that elixir patterns will only appear on elixirs made by a fourth-level alchemy master.

One circle is one elixir pattern, and two circles are two elixir patterns.

When using the same spiritual herb, the efficacy will decrease by 10% for every additional circle of elixir patterns.

It turns out that the only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.

After taking it for twenty-four consecutive days, Xiao Chen clearly felt that his true energy had become almost twice as condensed as before.

He quietly flew to a deserted place and tried it.

The True Yang Fire Dragon, which was originally one thousand two hundred feet long, suddenly grew to two thousand feet!

I can only say that the effect is outstanding!

　There will definitely be people who will complain about the True Yang Fire Dragon, but this time I will say it myself.

　　The product effect is subject to the actual description.

　　Master Kong beef noodles, the beef in the picture looks very big.

　　Similarly, it's reasonable that my fire dragon looks bigger on the surface.
