Chapter 5: Encountering a savage young lady on the road!
"What is your relationship with Li Ao? Why don't you mention Li Ao to them?"
I asked Wu Chen.
"Donor Li? He and I are childhood friends. I don't mention him just to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The monk explained.
"That's it?"
I continued to ask, a little unwillingly.
"That's all. Donor, I see that you have a connection with Buddha, and you have never had a master. Why don't you convert to Buddhism?"
Wu Chen suddenly said seriously.
"Oh, then give me the glass string in your hand and I'll think about it."
I answered casually.
(Only a fool would want to be a monk. How wonderful it would be to be a swordsman. How free and easy!)
"This... I need to ask Master. It should be no problem for me to give it to you, as long as you are willing to convert to Buddhism!"
Wu Chen promised.
"Okay, you've been talking all this time, aren't you tired? Look, we've already reached the capital, we'll talk about it later when we have the chance..."
"Gee, gee, everyone, get out of my way."
A little girl in pink was riding a galloping horse towards them, but there was a child sitting in the middle of the road crying loudly.
When I saw the child slumped on the ground, I immediately rushed out, picked up the child, and rolled to the side.
The monk stepped forward to block the galloping horse.
"Do you know who my father is? Who gave you the courage to block my way?"
After saying that, the little girl was about to whip the monk in the face.
The monk reached out and grabbed the whip.
"Amitabha, this lady donor, if you keep making trouble like this, I know a little bit of martial arts, so I can fight with you."
I looked at the monk in surprise.
"I'm going, is this okay with you?"
"Amitabha, Master is not here, and I have to rely on myself for everything when I am away from home. Even if the Buddha knew, he would forgive me. This lady donor, how about it, do you want to compete with me?"
The monk argued, then turned his head to look at the little girl in pink.
"Forget it. I don't want to argue with a monk like you. I have something urgent to do. Let me go."
The little girl said as she was about to take back the whip and leave.
"It seems that the female donor still doesn't understand!"
After the monk said this, he shook the horse hard and the little girl in pink fell off the horse.
"Donor, I almost hit someone. I need to apologize!"
"Do you know who I am? How dare you bully me like this? Also, why should I apologize?"
The pink-dressed girl said angrily.
"I almost hit someone. I need to apologize."
The monk still advised patiently.
"I didn't mean to... I'm sorry, I was reckless. I shouldn't have been so reckless."
The pink-dressed girl stopped herself mid-sentence and apologized immediately.
At this time, the tin staff was suspended in the air facing the girl.
"That's good, everyone is happy! I don't want to touch you, a monk. It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them!"
Wu Chen didn't forget to add one more sentence after he finished speaking.
"Amitabha".
Then he let go of the horse and held the staff in his hand.
"Monk, I will remember you. I will make you pay when the time comes!"
The little girl in pink said viciously as she fled from here.
"Thank you for your concern, I am taking good care of you, monk!"
Wu Chen said jokingly.
"Why do you feel like a scoundrel instead of a monk?"
"Amitabha! Donor Lin, don't talk nonsense! I am born with wisdom and have a connection with Buddha. Donor Lin also has a connection with Buddha. Why don't you follow me back to the 'Janaan Temple'?"
Wu Chen continued to persuade.
"You'd better go and attend your Dragon Island event. I'm also going to go to my relatives. We'll see each other again if we're lucky."
I said as I ran and waved goodbye, leaving the monk with a helpless look on his face.
(Based on the terrain and building distribution, the east should be the business district. The place with the most spiritual energy is in the West City District. The General's Mansion should be there. How about going to the trading area? Forget it. I have nothing but some elixirs! However, I am now in the novice protection period. What if I can find a bargain? I should go and have a look!)
(Baicao Pavilion, they also produce their own elixirs, so they shouldn’t be able to exchange for much money! As for the Weapon Refining Hall, forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I’d better go to Longteng Chamber of Commerce to trade and try my luck to see if I can get a big bargain.)
"[Longteng Chamber of Commerce] is the only chamber of commerce in the entire Longzhou. It is said that the president is a big man in the Tribulation Period. He has set a series of rules. If you don't follow them, you will be deprived of the right to trade! It is well-known for its fairness and justice."
"[Supreme Refining Hall] is the most advanced place for smelting artifacts. All kinds of materials can be forged. As long as there are materials and drawings, there is no artifact that cannot be made. (It is said that the hall master is also a refiner who can forge heavenly artifacts. It is said that there is only one such person in the whole Longzhou."
'[Baicao Pavilion] All the top alchemists in Longzhou gather here. There is no elixir that they cannot refine. If they cannot refine it, it is estimated that no one in the entire Longzhou can refine it. It is said that the owner of the pavilion is an alchemist who can refine heavenly elixirs. It seems that he is the only one in the entire Shenzhou who can refine it.'
Entering the gate of Longteng Chamber of Commerce, the first thing that comes into view is the spacious lobby. The sun shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows on the lobby floor. In the center of the lobby stands a tall counter, carefully crafted of precious ebony. Behind the counter stand two or three shopkeepers in gorgeous clothes. On the counter, various gold and silver coins, porcelain and jade, as well as exquisite account books and seals are arranged in an orderly manner. On the left are rows of shelves, from various materials to weapons, displaying daily necessities, but it seems that there are not many people. On the right is the free trading area, with stalls of different sizes, displaying exquisite and dazzling goods. Merchants are bargaining, which is in sharp contrast to the left.
"Boss, do you sell medicinal pills?"
I approached the counter and asked.
The shopkeeper looked me over.
"Yes, I do. What kind of elixir do you want to sell?"
I took out a bottle of pills from my arms and handed it over.
The shopkeeper took the bottle, poured out a pill and looked at it carefully.
"The pill is good, but it is a lower-grade yellow pill after all. I will sell it at the market price of 2 lower-grade spirit stones each. Are there any other options?"
'The elixir is divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black, yellow, and the lowest grade yellow elixir has average efficacy. Many individual herbs can even achieve the same effect as the yellow elixir. The black elixir has outstanding efficacy, which is many times better than the yellow elixir, and the price is also very different. The earth elixir is made of various top-grade materials and special techniques, and is basically in short supply. The heaven elixir is made by taking advantage of the heaven and earth, with the right time and place, and the natural materials and treasures. All of them are indispensable to make the elixir. It is said to have the effect of reversing life and death and turning bones into flesh'
(One pill is worth two low-grade spirit stones, which is a fair price. Forget it, let’s be low-key!)
"No more, just this one bottle."
I replied.
"There are 26 lower-grade yellow pills in total, and 52 lower-grade spirit stones. Keep them! If you need anything else, you can tell me directly. We have herbs, medicinal materials, skills, secret manuals, weapons, armor, accessories, everything you need."
The shopkeeper put away the pills, took out a bag and placed it on the table.
"Not for now, thank you!"
I quickly put away the spirit stones and glanced towards the trading area. I had a strange feeling before and wanted to go and take a look after selling the pills, but now that strange feeling seemed to have disappeared.
(Let’s go check it out first)
I turned around several times but found nothing!
(Strange, could it have been bought by someone? Never mind, let’s get back to business.)
I immediately walked out of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce and headed towards the General's Mansion.
