Chapter 6 The law of the jungle, forced buying and selling!
In front of General Zhao’s residence.
"Hello, I am a distant relative of General Zhao. I came here specially to seek refuge with General Zhao!"
I asked the soldier guarding the gate.
The soldier guarding the gate looked at me and said.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go and inform them."
Soon, the gatekeeper came back!
"Come on in, the general is in the lobby, just go straight over!"
After the soldier finished speaking, he motioned for Lin Yixuan to go in by himself.
As soon as I walked into the lobby, a deep voice came over
"Tell me, what's your name and which branch are you from?"
I was about to speak when I heard a little girl's voice behind me.
"Dad~~I'm back."
Looking at the pink figure running in, I said to myself, 'Not good'.
(Why is it her...)
"Hey~ My baby girl is back!"
General Zhao said this with a smile on his face.
The little girl in pink threw herself into General Zhao's arms and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, I was bullied by a monk~"
"What? How dare you bully my precious daughter? When I meet him, I will teach him a lesson."
General Zhao said angrily,
The little girl in pink seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at me.
I met her gaze and looked into hers.
(It's him)
"He is in cahoots with the monks."
The little girl in pink pointed at me and said.
Then an invisible force lifted me up and threw me against a pillar.
I felt my blood boiling and almost gushing out, but I forced myself to swallow it, and a trace of blood still flowed from the corner of my mouth.
"Eh~ Not bad, it's just a little bleeding, it seems your foundation is not bad. Come on, since you've come here to seek refuge, tell me where you're from."
General Zhao nodded in praise and asked.
"I am from the Pi County branch. The family thought I had a good foundation and asked me to follow General Zhao to learn. Now it seems that it is better not to learn."
I said angrily.
"Well, there are so many people who come to me for help. Although you have some foundation, it's just that! Since you are so arrogant, I won't keep you here. Go!"
"Dad, we can't let him go, he is in cahoots with the monks," the pink-dressed little girl said anxiously.
"My dear daughter, he is still a branch of our tribe after all, and you are not hurt anywhere, so just let him go!"
General Zhao stroked the little girl's head to comfort her, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Well, let him fend for himself!"
"Hurry up and wait for the general to treat you to lunch?" the soldier beside him urged.
I walked out of the general's mansion silently without sending out the letter in my arms.
(Sure enough, General Zhao is this kind of person. Is this the world of cultivating immortals? The strong prey on the weak, and those who don’t have strength deserve to be bullied)
Just as I was thinking this.
Touched the jade pendant in his arms.
I suddenly felt something was wrong, and when I took it out, I discovered that the inside of the jade pendant was covered with cracks. It should be able to be used once at most before it would break.
(Master, Master, how could you make friends with such a person? This has really harmed your disciple. Should I go back to find you? Forget it! How about going back with the monk? No, I would rather die than become a monk. There are so many fairy sisters waiting for me, I absolutely cannot become a monk. It seems that I can only rely on myself!)
I found an inn to stay in. When I returned to the room, I felt that the pain in my body had improved a lot.
(It should be because he knew that I had not practiced, so he did not hit me so hard. However, if it was someone else, he would have to lie down for at least half a month before he could get out of bed. Fortunately, I have been strengthening myself by following that cheap master. It seems that the cheap master is still useful! Or should I just go back?)
I immediately shook my head.
(No, it’s not so easy to not go back once I’m out. A real man is born between heaven and earth, so he should constantly strive for self-improvement. I’ll go back after I become famous. I’d better go to the Chamber of Commerce again to see if I can get some introductory skills for cultivation).
The trading area of Longteng Chamber of Commerce
"Can this alchemy furnace be cheaper?"
"No, you get what you pay for. This price is already the best."
"Then if I buy this alchemy furnace, can you give me those junk as a gift?"
As I spoke, I pointed at a pile of broken pieces of magical instruments not far away.
"Oh, young man, this price is already very fair! Oh, forget it, forget it, I am kind-hearted, since you want it, just take it all."
The stall owner said helplessly.
(It’s been on display for almost a month, and I can’t sell it anyway! I’m ready to throw it away!)
I quickly paid the money, picked up the pile of debris, picked up the furnace and walked out.
However, just as he walked out of the door and turned the corner, he bumped into an old man, and the debris he had picked up fell all over the ground.
"Hey, it's this thing."
A dark red fragment flew up and fell into the old man's hands. He then looked at me and said.
"Young man, you have good eyesight. You actually found a great bargain. But this thing is not something you can handle. How about this? I have a sharp weapon, the Cold Light Dagger, 'Xuanpin Level 2', which is just right for you. Let's exchange it for this fragment."
As the old man spoke, he put the fragments into his sleeves and threw the cold dagger to the ground.
"Young man, I'm doing this for your own good!"
After the old man finished speaking, he walked into the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.
I just quietly watched the old man walk into the 'Longteng Chamber of Commerce'!
(Yeah, isn’t this the law of the jungle, forced buying and selling? It’s okay in the Chamber of Commerce, but outside the Chamber of Commerce, no one cares about your life or death!)
I quickly picked up the scattered things, turned around and ran.
(If someone else comes out to snatch my things, or even kills me, I will really lose a lot!)
I ran out of the city and into the mountains before I felt a sense of security.
(So this is the real world of cultivating immortals! My sense of security actually comes from the unknown, haha~)
I laughed like crazy.
Accompanied by the roar of an animal, I restrained myself, quickly jumped onto a branch, and looked at the direction. Yes, this was the Monster Mountain Range. According to the records in the classics, there should be a place to stay ahead.
After walking for a while, we found a cave in front of us and a stream next to it!
(It is indeed a good place, but according to the records in the classics, there should be many people who know about this place, so we should find another place to hide.)
I continued searching and finally saw a dark and gloomy cave hidden ahead.
Entering the cave, it seems as if time has quietly stopped here, with only faint light struggling to penetrate the cracks in the darkness.
The entrance of the cave was entangled by vines and weeds, and was barely illuminated by the dim moonlight, like a pale veil, covering the depths of the cave.
As you step into the cave, a damp breath hits you in the face. The air is filled with the smell of wet soil and the humus of moss, as if every inch of space is oozing with water. The weak light casts mottled shadows on the rock wall, reflecting the ancient stone carvings and traces of weathering. Every drop of water that falls stirs up ripples in the silence. The cave ceiling is low and depressing, the rocks are rugged, and the shallow stream formed by the flowing water flows slowly along the cave wall, making a gurgling sound.
(Here it is! No one should come here.)
I put down the package in my hand, packed up a little, picked up some firewood, and lit the fire. Finally I could rest.
He opened the package and put the alchemy furnace aside. He bought it just to earn spirit stones. He didn't have the herbs yet, so there was no need to rush.
He turned over the pile of debris and picked up a piece of bronze debris. The energy of heaven and earth in his body suddenly became agitated.
I just felt a flash before my eyes, as if I was in a hazy space. A stone tablet appeared in front of me. I walked closer and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't see clearly what was on it.
I don’t know what material it is, but it feels very comfortable to touch, and there is a natural sense of comfort.
(So comfortable!)
After a long time, when I opened my eyes, the stone tablet had disappeared.
(No way, is this a ghost?)
He held his breath and concentrated, checking his own situation. He found that a black stone tablet had appeared in his Qi Palace without him noticing when. However, he still couldn't see the contents on the stone tablet clearly.
(Drilling directly into the body? Is this the privilege of being the chosen one? But how do I get out?)
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a blur and found myself still sitting there.
(This should be the so-called soul leaving the body. Everything else is bad. That fragment may be the fragment of a fairy weapon. It was recognized. I have to be more careful next time!)
I reached into my arms and felt around. There were still a few Xuan-grade pills. Xuan-grade pills should not be cheap. The Longteng Chamber of Commerce is full of good and bad people, and the risk factor is also high. Next time, I'd better go to Baicao Pavilion to trade. The price should not be much different, and it would be safer.
(It should be dawn soon, I should find a good place to practice and continue to strengthen myself. I haven’t practiced the morning lessons arranged by the master since I came down the mountain.)
After a few leaps, he climbed to a high place and absorbed the energy of heaven and earth around him.
(What’s wrong? How come after absorbing for so long, there is only this much? Why is the Qi of Heaven and Earth so scarce here? The spiritual energy is very abundant. The key is that I have to refine so much spiritual energy to produce only a trace of Qi of Heaven and Earth. This is too uncomfortable. I miss Master more and more!)
Never mind, let’s first unblock the last few blocked meridians in the body.
By practicing and collecting herbs to make pills at the same time, he bought a book on the most basic introductory cultivation method. Although it was despised when I bought it at first, the senior actually gave such a low-level introductory cultivation method to his disciples, which was too stingy.
"Good skills are treasured and only rubbish like this will end up in the textile market. Although top-notch skills are also sold, the prices are ridiculously high."
(Let’s wait until it reaches a certain level)
But no matter how others might imagine, he was the one who used this introductory technique himself.
