I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

By then, if he can capture the gourd vine that can bloom and bear fruit, his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

……

Quickly walked to the gate of Hulu City.

Zhou Heng handed over a gourd coin collected from Lin Shan's family in Hongye Village as the entrance fee.

This so-called Hulu coin is naturally the currency specially issued by Hulu City, and it is also the currency recognized by all human settlements within the jurisdiction of Hulu City within a radius of thousands of miles.

Hongye Village is remote and sparsely populated, and gourd coins are generally not used in the village. The reason why Lin Shan's family has gourd coins is because he often needs to represent the village to go to the nearby Juhua Town to trade supplies, so gourd coins are retained.

"After the first ring of the city's blackout bell, if you don't plan to stay in a hotel, you must leave the city immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

As if thinking that Zhou Heng looked like a poor man from a remote village, the gatekeeper shouted a warning with a stern look after collecting the entrance fee from him.

Hear the words.

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't be angered by this contempt like a young man, but instead smiled and nodded in thanks:

"Thank you for the reminder, General. May I ask, if someone like me wants to cultivate to become an immortal, is there any way?"

As he spoke, he calmly stuffed a small animal skin bag into the other person's hand. Judging from the bulge of the animal skin bag, it must have contained at least dozens of gourd coins.

"Oh, you think you can become an immortal?"

The guard at the gate laughed disdainfully, but he still took the small animal skin bag and stuffed it into his arms in a very realistic manner.

Then, he said with his eyes rolling slightly:

"We in Hulu City actually have a way.

Every year when the gourd flowers bloom, strong people from the Chengxian Road, the Mishen Road, the Rongbing Road, and the Yixue Road will come here to appreciate the flowers.

Those strong men would come a few days in advance and set up tests in the city to see if there were any talents suitable for their cultivation path.

If you want to become an immortal, just wait in the city. In more than half a month, the gourd flowers will bloom.

However, I advise you not to have such wishful thinking. To have the qualifications to cultivate to become an immortal or a god, or to have the qualifications to cultivate to become an immortal or a god, is simply one in a hundred thousand miles, or even a million.

I see you already have the potential to achieve the third metamorphosis, so you should just continue to cultivate the path of metamorphosis. If you can successfully achieve the fourth metamorphosis, you might even have the chance to join me in guarding the city gate."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Jun."

Zhou Heng didn't care about the other party's contempt.

Having received the definite answer, he was in a good mood. After thanking the other party again, he did not delay any longer and went straight into the bright and prosperous Hulu City.

……

Once you enter the gourd city.

Zhou Heng first bought a map of the city's business layout and a book of miscellaneous records of Hulu City from a vendor at the city gate.

He quickly wrote down the merchant layout map, then while looking at the miscellaneous notes, he rushed towards the largest pharmacy in the city: Xuanhu Pharmacy.

At this time, there is still more than half a month before the gourd flowers bloom and the powerful people set up tests. Such a long time is naturally not something he can waste. He plans to get some medicinal herbs to improve his own transformation path.

After the source power can be released, he will try to see if he can use the source power of martial arts practitioners. If he can, he will instantly possess many extremely powerful killer moves.

After all, he possesses many force-based martial arts with extremely terrifying side effects. If those side effects were to be unleashed, they would definitely have extremely powerful effects in this relatively low-end world.

While thinking.

We have arrived at Xuanhulu Pharmacy.

It is the largest pharmacy in Hulu City with the largest medicine storage capacity.

There is a constant stream of customers coming in and out of Xuanhulu Pharmacy.

Come to the counter.

Zhou Heng directly asked the clerk in the pharmacy:

"Hey, how much are you selling this potion that allows a triple-transformation practitioner to absorb the transformation?"

"The cultivation potion for the third transformation?"

The pharmacy clerk narrowed his eyes and looked Zhou Heng up and down, then said lightly:

"Our shop has a total of seventeen kinds of three-transformation cultivation potions. The cheapest one costs one hundred gourd coins, and the most expensive one costs three thousand gourd coins. What do you think? Which one do you want?"

"The cheapest one is one hundred a pair..."

Zhou Heng was silent.

The gourd coins he collected from Lin Shan's house totaled only over two hundred yuan. He had just spent nearly a hundred yuan, and now only had over a hundred yuan left, which was barely enough to buy the cheapest potion.

"What? Do you have money to buy it? If you don't have money, leave quickly and don't block other people."

Seeing Zhou Heng's silence, the pharmacy clerk immediately urged him to speak impatiently.

Hear the words.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then without further delay took out a hundred gourd coins and placed them on the counter:

"Give me a cheap pair first to try it out."

"Tsk... If you don't have money, then you don't have money. Why don't you try the effect first?"

The pharmacy clerk muttered rudely, then casually pulled out a pack of medicine from under the counter and threw it on the table:

"Here, the Gray Grass Bud Potion, one hundred per set. Bye, next one."

Faced with the pharmacy clerk's condescending attitude.

Zhou Heng didn't get angry but laughed instead.

After all, in his eyes, all the people in Hulu City are no different from dead people. He has always been magnanimous and would not get angry with the dead.

After taking the gray grass bud potion from the table, he didn't say anything else and walked straight out of the Xuanhu Pharmacy.

……

Not long after leaving Xuanhulu Pharmacy.

Zhou Heng immediately used the remaining money to rent a room at the inn, and then couldn't wait to try the effects of the gray grass bud potion.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the rich medicinal soup in the bathtub gradually became lighter, the bright light stone in the mouth gradually dimmed.

Zhou Heng slowly ended his light-chasing visualization method, slowly opened his bright eyes, and sighed softly with a sense of helplessness:

“The effect of this gray grass sprout potion is too poor.

According to the nourishing effect of this medicine, if I want to successfully complete the fourth metamorphosis, I will have to consume at least 1,800 sets.

You see, you have to get the most expensive potion to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

I am penniless now. The strong men from other cultivation paths have not arrived yet, so I cannot access other cultivation paths. For the time being, I cannot directly destroy the city to steal the potion. I can only find a way to make money.

Most ordinary practitioners who want to make money go to the wilderness to hunt exotic animals and sell them in the city. This way of making money is too troublesome for me.

As the old saying goes, "Killing and setting fires bring gold belts." Besides robbing banks, there's no other way to make money faster than killing and stealing.

Mind this.

Zhou Heng's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

Then, he did what he wanted to do without any hesitation. He immediately got up, washed himself, put on his clothes, and then quickly left the inn and headed straight for the city gate.

It is not yet time for the lights to go out in Hulu City, and most of the exotic beast hunters are still hunting outside the city. This is a perfect opportunity for him to kill and rob people along the way.
