Chapter 163 After This Battle Is over, I Will
Chapter 163 After this battle, I will
Monster beasts are not puppets, they also need to rest.
The monsters attacking Zhenyue Immortal City originally came from a long distance, and they have not had a good rest for several days.
The reason for attacking the Immortal City under such circumstances is not only that the high-level monsters want to test the defensive strength of the Immortal City through this attack, but also because they want to kill some low-level monsters to reduce the food burden of the herd. .
Relying on strength and the "horn of the beast king", high-level monsters can deter and restrain those herbivorous monsters and carnivorous monsters from killing each other, but they cannot prevent hungry monsters from killing each other.
A "beast swarm" often takes several years to completely end, so for high-level monsters, how to control the scale of the "beast swarm" and prevent the herd from being greatly reduced due to lack of food and killing each other is also a very important task. Things that test wisdom.
Therefore, after the "beast tide" retreated temporarily, Zhou Yang and other survivors on the top of the city also began to clean up the battlefield and dispose of their spoils.
It was also at this time that Zhou Yang discovered that out of the fifteen members of his team, five survived. He didn't know how these five survived.
Because of the fierce battle that lasted for an hour or two, it stands to reason that these people's mana should have been exhausted long ago, and the previous attack intensity, if the monks in the Qi training period are still on the top of the city, they should not be able to withstand it. is.
However, although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't say much. No matter how these people survived, it's not his turn to investigate, as long as these people don't move his spoils.
After this battle, Zhou Yang alone killed four third-rank monsters, including a third-rank middle-rank monster "Sword-billed Crane", and even more second-rank top-rank monsters.
Because there were too many monsters to kill, and these monsters were generally very large in size, Zhou Yang just took off the parts of those third-order monsters that could be used for refining weapons and alchemy, took out the monster blood and put it on, and the rest Only some of the essence of the animal meat was taken, and then the remaining animal meat and animal bones were sold at a low price to those merchants who came to buy after hearing the news.
Most of these merchants who came to buy the corpses of monsters were from powerful backgrounds.
They have already prepared a large number of warehouses in the city. There are special personnel in the warehouses to process and classify the corpses of monsters brought back, and then the alchemists refine the animal meat on the spot into "Bigu Dan", "Jing Yuan Dan" and the like. Or save the corpses of some rare monsters, wait for the "beast tide" to disperse in the future, and transport them back to the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World for sale and processing.
At this time, a large number of monsters were killed, and the value of monster materials plummeted. The price of monster meat sold by Zhou Yang to these merchants was not half of the normal price, but these profiteers made a lot of money.
But he didn't lose money. By selling these monster corpses that he couldn't take away or use, he earned another three to four thousand low-grade spirit stones. If you count the refining materials that he collected, In this battle alone, he gained nearly tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
With such a fast earning rate of spirit stones, it is no wonder that people like Dong Jianping still choose to stay in Zhenyue Immortal City to help defend the city, knowing that the "beast tide" is dangerous.
Man dies for money, bird dies for food, this is an eternal truth.
It's just different from Zhou Yang's pure profit. Although Dong Jianping killed more monsters than him, the price he paid was also very heavy.
After this battle, not only the Taoist companions who had followed him for decades fell into the mouths of monsters, but also the monks who had been born and raised by him over the years also lost three people, and now only the two were left. The young men and women rescued by Zhou Yang are still alive.
Zhou Yang didn't bother Dong's father and son to clean up the battlefield. After handling his spoils, he sat down on the ground and meditated to recover his mana, while waiting for the next order from Jia Yunzhen, his immediate superior.
And his five surviving subordinates, after packing up and storing the remains and relics of the dead monks on the top of the city, followed him to meditate and practice.
These people did not lose money this time. Zhou Yang didn’t take any of the monsters killed by monks during the Qi training period, and they all divided them. This directly caused their net worth to double or triple, which can be described as Earn a fortune.
"May I have your name?"
On the top of the city, Zhou Yang was meditating to restore his mana, when a deep and powerful voice suddenly entered his ears.
He opened his eyes and saw that Jia Yunzhen had arrived in front of him at some point, looking at him calmly.
Seeing this, he quickly stood up, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Junior Zhou Yang, I have met Senior Jia."
"The previous sword was very good. Is it the supernatural power contained in your practice?"
Jia Yunzhen looked at Zhou Yang and asked, as if he didn't realize how taboo his question was.
But this is the privilege of high-ranking monks!
It can be said that it is a taboo between monks of the same rank to inquire about the magical powers of each other, and it is easy to offend others, but there is no such problem when a high-ranking monk asks a question of a low-ranking monk.
Therefore, Zhou Yang just frowned, and quickly calmed down the dissatisfaction in his heart and replied: "Senior's eyes are like torches, that is indeed the sword spirit supernatural power attached to the exercises practiced by this junior!"
"That would be such a pity!"
Regret flashed in Jia Yunzhen's eyes, and he let out a long sigh full of regret.
With his knowledge and understanding of kendo, he can certainly see the extraordinaryness of Zhou Yang's "Qianyang Tianjian". If he can learn this kind of sword spirit and supernatural power, he can definitely become another trump card for himself.
However, since this sword spirit supernatural power is attached to the exercises, he has no idea at all. The main exercises of the immortal cultivator can be changed, but they cannot practice two major exercises at the same time, otherwise it is easy to go wrong and go crazy.
And Jia Yunzhen's supernatural powers attached to his main practice are not weak, so he naturally wouldn't switch to another one for the sake of one supernatural power.
After sighing, he looked at Zhou Yang and nodded again: "You all performed very well this time. According to the rules set by the city lord, you can get a two-month rest period. During the rest period, unless the city wall falls , otherwise you don’t have to go to the top of the city to join the battle, of course, if you want to kill the monster voluntarily, no one will stop you!”
After speaking, he didn't even look at Zhou Yang's expression, and left Yu Jian directly.
call!
Looking at the direction in which Jia Yunzhen was leaving, Zhou Yang couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief. To be honest, even in front of a Jindan Patriarch like Cao Wenjin, he had never been so nervous as he was in front of Jia Yunzhen.
The reason is not difficult to understand. Cao Wenjin, as the guardian of the Huangsha Gate, has his status there. If he doesn't follow the rules and reason, Zhou Yang has nothing to do. It doesn't matter whether he is nervous or not.
But Jia Yun is really different, Jia Yun is really a casual cultivator, and the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou is a foreign land.
Zhou Yang, a foreigner wandering here, facing Jia Yunzhen, a high-level casual cultivator with fierce methods, is under a lot of pressure. He is afraid that if he says a wrong sentence and offends the other party, he will bring himself the risk of killing himself. disaster.
This is not a joke. In the current war against the "beast tide", as a cultivator in the purple mansion who is in charge of Zhou Yang and the others, if Jia Yunzhen really wants to punish him, there are many ways to do it, and he doesn't need to do it himself.
"If possible in the future, it's better to stay away from this killing star. The ghost knows whether his bloody aura will have affected his xinxing to the point of becoming a demon!"
Zhou Yang cursed secretly in his heart, he was really afraid of Jia Yun to the extreme.
This kind of immortal monk who is not a demon monk, but has a more ruthless heart and means than a demon monk, is really difficult to provoke. Zhou Yang absolutely does not want to provoke such a person, not at all.
However, what Jia Yunzhen said before he left still made him feel a little better. If he can rest for two or two months, he can take advantage of this time to do a lot of things.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked over to Dong Jianping over there.
"They all voluntarily stayed and fought with me, and I didn't force them!"
In the private room of a certain restaurant in Zhenyue Fairy City, Zhou Yang and Dong Jianping sat facing each other across a table. On the table was a table of delicious dishes cooked with third-tier monster meat, and the wine was also brewed with various second-tier spirit fruits. High-quality spirit wine.
While drinking wine, Dong Jianping looked at Zhou Yang sadly and said, "I don't know whether Daoist Zhou was born as a sect cultivator or a family cultivator, but I know that Fellow Daoist must not be a casual cultivator."
"I, Dong Jianping, practiced all my life. Every piece of spiritual stone was earned with my own hands. Since the first day I practiced, no one has taught me how to practice. I have been able to practice until now. Give me a middle-grade spiritual root, and it’s all my own blood and sweat!"
"My Taoist partner is also a casual cultivator. She knows that casual cultivating is not easy like me. My children with spiritual roots have also been influenced by us since childhood. They dare to take risks and fight hard. They hope to become like me through their own efforts. Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"
"Before this beast tide, I told them that after I survived this beast tide, I will take them back to the rear to establish a family. At that time, the younger monks of our Dong family will no longer be like us, in order to save a few dollars If you buy spirit stones for spirit rice, you can only go out to hunt monsters!"
"They all support my decision, and are willing to stay here with me to resist the beast horde, saying that they will contribute their own strength to the establishment of the Dong family with me!"
"I said this because I wanted to tell Fellow Daoist Zhou that I, Dong Jianping, am not a cold-blooded person who uses the lives of his descendants to earn spirit stones for himself!"
Dong Jianping looked at Zhou Yang with red eyes, slowly picked up the empty wine glass in front of Zhou Yang and filled him with a glass of wine, then held the glass with both hands and handed it to him.
"Zhou understands the meaning of Dong Daoyou, and I also ask Brother Dong to express my condolences!"
Zhou Yang nodded solemnly, reached out to take the wine glass in front of him, and drank it with his head raised.
Seeing this, Dong Jianping couldn't help but slapped the table and applauded: "Okay, since Brother Zhou drank this glass of wine, it means that you really regard Dong as a friend. Be stingy, if there is anything Brother Zhou wants Dong to help with in the future, feel free to say so!"
"I have something to ask Brother Dong!"
Zhou Yang nodded, Dang even expressed his thoughts.
It turned out that after today's battle at the top of the city, he had already realized the problem of his lack of conventional attack methods, so he wanted to ask Dong Jianping about the market situation of magic weapons and talismans in Zhenyue Immortal City, to see if he could buy some better attack methods Weapons to arm yourself, and then buy some high-level talismans to defend yourself.
"Brother Zhou, you are asking the right person. Dong has lived in Zhenyue Xiancheng for decades, and he can say that he is very clear about the situation of each store. If you want to buy magic weapons, I recommend you to [Shenbingfang], 【Kunwu Pavilion】These two shops, at least in Zhenyue Xiancheng, have the most sophisticated instruments in their shops."
"As for the magic talisman, I suggest fellow Taoists not to buy it. Under the circumstances, the price of the talisman is at least half or even double the usual price. Besides, you already have a third-tier top-tier defensive magic weapon, not a fourth-tier defensive talisman. It is useless to you, and the price of the fourth-order talisman in the city now, tsk tsk tsk!"
When Dong Jianping finished speaking, he couldn't help shaking his head, obviously feeling that there was no need to say more.
Zhou Yang is also a person who listens to persuasion. When Dong Jianping said this, he remembered his method, and immediately nodded his head in a good manner: "Then Zhou will listen to Brother Dong, and go to those two places to see the magic weapon first."
"It's not urgent, you and I will eat and drink first, then Dong will take you there personally, lest the shopkeeper deceive you and want to eat strangers!"
After eating and drinking like this for more than an hour, Zhou Yang and the two left the restaurant, and then went to the two shops to buy magic weapons under the leadership of Dong Jianping.
I Buddha! I have a low-grade fever, a little tired, and poor energy... I went to bed early today, and I woke up three times in a row.
