Chapter 24 Encountering an Old Friend by Chance
When Jiangnan walked into the Yaowang City, he saw people coming and going in the city, bustling with people, the shops on both sides of the street were very lush, and all kinds of goods were dazzling, which was much more prosperous than Qiwang City.
This is because there is the Yaowang Mansion in the Yaowang City, and the medicine king's mansion is the best in the world. Therefore, martial arts people from all over the world are attracted to gather here. Not only the big families, but even the royal family of the Jianwu Kingdom often come to purchase the elixir .
This place is definitely a mixed land of dragons and snakes, from princes and nobles to robbers and robbers, everything that one expects to find!
"Only 30% of my cultivation is left..."
Jiangnan was walking on the streets of Yaowang City, frowning slightly. He fought against the psychic Mi Ape, killed Qiao Liang, and ran for eight hundred miles on the river, expending a lot of true energy, almost no less than being pumped by Jiang Xue Take 80% of the yang energy!
This battle cost him more than half of his true energy, and the special surname of the Demon Prison Xuantai Sutra made him temporarily unable to recover quickly, and if he practiced slowly, he could only recover at most 10 to 20 percent of his cultivation before sunrise tomorrow. for.
He walked all the way, and saw that the streets were like a busy market, with restaurants, bars, workshops, and strange shops selling all kinds of things, not only medicine shops, medicinal materials shops, weapons shops, armor shops, but also shops with various materials. There is even a place where martial arts mental methods are sold!
"The business of Medicine King City is really developed, far surpassing that of Qi King City!"
Jiangnan strolled into a medicinal herb shop, and the smell of medicinal herbs wafted through his nostrils. He saw people coming and going in the shop, and the business was very good. The medicinal material shops in Yaowang City are all operated by Yaowang Mansion, and the prices are fair.
"Guest officer, do you want to buy medicine or see a doctor?"
A shop clerk came forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "If you need to see a doctor, please go to the sitting doctor to take your pulse, so that you can make a diagnosis..."
Jiang Nan smiled slightly, turned his palms over, and saw a jade bottle appearing in his hands, and said with a smile, "Is it a panacea from your harvest?"
"It turns out that Mister is an alchemist, so I'm sorry and disrespectful."
The store clerk was respectful, and said: "Sir, please wait for a moment, the younger one will invite the shopkeeper."
Jiang Nan nodded, and the shop clerk hurried into the inner hall, after a while, an old man with gray eyebrows walked out of the inner hall, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, can I let the old man see the pill?"
Jiang Nan handed the bottle of Yiqi Pill to the shopkeeper, who opened the jade bottle and poured out a Yiqi Pill, took out a silver needle and carefully inserted it into the spirit pill, pulled out the silver needle to observe for a while, and said with emotion: "Although it is Yiqi Pill Qi pills, but the pills are good, and they have 100% medicinal power, which is commendable! Unexpectedly, you can refine 100% pills at such a young age, which is awe-inspiring!"
"The old man was joking. This bottle of Yiqi Pill is a panacea given to me by a friend, but it has no use for me, so I want to sell it."
Jiang Nan said with a smile: "May I ask you, old man, what do you mean by the Dan Pin and Shi Cheng Dan?"
"That's how it is. I said that at such a young age, my little brother can practice ten percent alchemy. It's really shocking. It turned out to be a gift from a friend. It's reasonable that my little brother doesn't know the jargon of my alchemist."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The grade division of pills corresponds to the realm of martial arts, such as Yiqi Pill, Yangshen Pill, and Yunshen Pill. People in martial arts at the fifth level have little effect, so it is a low-grade panacea. And the Qi refining level needs to take a higher-level panacea, such as Buqi Pill, Fire Spirit Pill, and Shenyou Pill. These three pills The price of the medicine is many times higher than the price of Yiqi Pill! The little brother just said that Yiqi Pill is of no use to you, so you must be a martial arts master at the level of Qi Refining!"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help being awed. Jiang Nan was young, but he was able to cultivate to the level of Qi refining. Even among the aristocratic families, he was considered a rare genius.
Therefore, even though Jiang Nan was dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't mean to underestimate him in the slightest.
"Shicheng Dan reconciled again?" Jiang Nan couldn't help but ask.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Brother, I don't know that the spirit pill is not full of spirits, but also contains impurities. The ratio of impurities to spirits is a percentage. For example, in Qicheng pills, spirits account for 70% and impurities Thirty percent, if you take it, the impurities will be absorbed at the same time and mixed in the true energy or the body. It takes a lot of energy to get rid of the impurities and refine them. The value is not high. If you don’t get rid of them, they will accumulate in the body. This kind of elixir is eaten too much , There are more and more impurities accumulated in the body, but the aptitude of the people in the martial arts is getting worse and worse, and even the cultivation base is limited to the current realm, and they cannot improve in their lifetime."
Jiangnan was moved, the shopkeeper said that the distance is like a mountain, it is true, he only knew that the magic pill can enhance the cultivation level, he did not expect that there is such a trick!
"A spirit pill with fewer impurities is more valuable. The impurities in the Jiucheng Pill do not affect the qualifications of people in martial arts, so they are very popular, but the most valuable one is the Shicheng Pill!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Little brother, your bottle of Yiqi Dan is 100% pills, which is very valuable. There are twelve pills in this bottle, and each pill is calculated at seventy taels of silver, totaling eight hundred and four Twelve. If the little brother has no objection, the old man will settle the settlement with the little brother."
Jiang Nan nodded. The shopkeeper of this medicine store didn't try his best to suppress the price just because he was an outsider. It would cost Qi Wangfu a hundred taels of silver to buy a elixir from Yaowangfu. Although the shopkeeper lowered the price, he didn't Not outrageous.
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "May I ask if your account has Dan Fang for sale?"
The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to learn alchemy? Listen to the old man's advice, alchemy seems not difficult, but there are countless details in it, which are more complicated than martial arts, and the chances of refining alchemy are also high." Not much. Even if a spirit pill is refined, there is a great chance that it will be a waste pill, and even if there are many people who go bankrupt, they may not be able to refine a batch of good pills!"
He smiled proudly: "Looking at Jianwu Kingdom, only our Yaowang Mansion can cultivate first-class alchemists! As the saying goes, alchemy cannot be practiced together, and martial arts people who learn alchemy will delay their cultivation and progress. The alchemists of my Yaowang Mansion Master spends too much time on alchemy, and his martial arts cultivation is not as tyrannical as other palaces."
Jiang Nan also knew that the old shopkeeper had good intentions. Although the Yaowang Mansion had all kinds of panacea, there was almost no martial arts master who was the best in the world. The powerhouse of God Wheel is a bit inferior.
This is because the alchemist has delayed too much time. Although the spiritual pill has improved his cultivation, his state is not stable and his foundation is not stable, his state of mind has not been tempered, and the same cultivation level cannot exert the same strength.
Jiang Xue also warned him that using elixir to improve his cultivation is only a trivial way, which can easily cause his foundation to become unstable. Only when his cultivation is in trouble can he use the power of elixir to break through the bottleneck. Self-cultivation is the orthodox way , the foundation is solid, and the strength will be stronger.
"Shopkeeper, I naturally have a sense of proportion. If I really don't have the qualifications for alchemy, I will naturally cultivate honestly."
Jiang Nan said with a smile: "The old man brought the recipes of Yiqi Pill, Yangshen Pill and Yunshen Pill, and each kind of elixir was mixed with ten parts of medicinal materials, and it was settled once."
The shopkeeper stopped persuading him, took out the formulas of Yangshen Pill, Yiqi Pill, and Yunshen Pill, and said with a smile: "The pills in my Yaowang Mansion are not secret, and the price is not expensive, one hundred taels of silver, but There are very few people who can learn it, brother, please think twice."
Jiangnan received three elixirs, and saw that each of these three elixirs had a hundred sheets of high-quality rice paper, which were filled with small characters, densely packed, recording various medicinal materials, the amount of medicinal materials, the time of dosage, the degree of heat, and various other ingredients. I am quite satisfied with taboos and alchemy formulas.
The shopkeeper then ordered someone to prepare ten copies of each medicinal material, and after the settlement, he handed over to Jiangnan a silver bill of more than one hundred taels.
"Now that the pill formula is available, the pill furnace is still missing."
Jiang Nan was about to walk out of the medicinal material store, when suddenly he heard a crisp voice from behind: "Brother Shi, we meet again!"
"Brother?"
Jiang Nan was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw a pretty girl in red standing behind him, with a youthful look on her pretty face, which reminded him of what happened by the mountain stream, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Yue Shimei."
The girl was beautiful and clean, wearing a red dress, her skin was fair and tender. It was Yue Linger, the female disciple of the Yaowang Mansion that Jiangnan met in the mountain temple.
"Princess, who is this?"
Beside Yue Linger was a slightly rich young man, dressed luxuriously, looking dignified and uncommon, he glanced at Jiangnan, and frowned slightly.
"Master Mu, this senior brother is the expert who saved me once and killed the golden-scaled red-threaded python that I told you about!"
Yue Ling'er introduced to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is Mr. Mu Qinnan, the clan of the Mu Palace."
"I met Brother Mu."
Jiangnan cupped his hands slightly to Yue Linger, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Shimei is still the princess of the Yaowang Mansion, sorry."
Yue Ling'er smiled and said: "Brother Shi, last time you left in a hurry and didn't ask your name, you can't refuse this time."
Jiang Nan smiled slightly: "Returning to the princess, my surname is Jiang and my name is Nan, and the word Zichuan comes from the land of divine punishment. The princess can just call me Zichuan."
Yue Ling'er was stunned. The Land of Heaven's Moat is a mysterious place. It is adjacent to Jianwu Kingdom. It was originally the border of Jinghua Kingdom in Middle Earth. A few years ago, the Great War of Gods spread there and turned it into a land of death. There was no life, Jinghua Kingdom was destroyed, millions of Li people fled for thousands of miles, and there were countless casualties. It can be described as an incomparably tragic catastrophe.
Because of this incident, the originally rich and prosperous Middle-earth became a land condemned by heaven.
She originally thought that Jiangnan came from King Qi's Mansion or Prince Mu's Mansion near the Luoxia Mountains, but she didn't expect that Jiangnan came from the Land of Scourge and was a remnant of Middle Earth.
"Zi Chuan, why did you come to my Medicine King City?" Yue Linger asked curiously, changing the subject to avoid Jiang Nan's embarrassment.
"I'm here mainly to buy a few alchemy recipes, to see if I have the talent for alchemy."
Jiang Nan responded with a smile. Although he used to be a slave in Prince Qi's Mansion, he was from a rich family and a scholarly family. After knowing that Yue Ling'er was the princess of King Yao's Mansion, he didn't feel embarrassed at all and responded calmly. It's a bit shabby, but the temperament is not to be underestimated.
"Do you want to learn alchemy?"
Yue Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she complained: "Why didn't you come to me directly? Don't tell me you're still seeing me? Don't dare to say anything else, but I can help with things like alchemy."
