Blackstone City is not prosperous. Not only is it small in area, but the internal buildings are also relatively simple. The edge of the city is symbolically surrounded by a stone wall about three to four feet high. A few feet away from the wall is a thick white light curtain, covering the entire city.
This is the protective formation of Black Rock City. Unlike the simplicity of the city, the power of this formation is not bad and can withstand the attacks of a large number of high-level monsters.
There are no high-rise buildings in the city, but only bungalows. The result is that although various houses occupy almost the entire city, there are actually not many buildings. What's even more peculiar is that a large part of these bungalows actually have an astonishing area, often tens of feet wide.
In addition to monks, there are also a large number of mortals living in the city. Old people and children are rarely seen. Instead, there are young and beautiful women who are as colorful as colorful butterflies, as well as strong men and handsome teenagers. , girl.
These things were obviously not included in the information given by Ling Yuling. The monk surnamed Chi also did not mention it just now, but only vaguely mentioned some special services in the city.
Mo Juren already knew this, but Han Li was stunned when he saw this strange scene. At this moment, he finally realized what the so-called special service was about.
No wonder the master mentioned before that the monks who entered the island not only did not complain because of the rules that required confidentiality, but instead rushed to the island in droves.
Magical weapons, spiritual beasts, and various rare materials are certainly reasons, but the almost depraved life atmosphere is also an important reason for attraction.
Monks are not saints either. They also have emotions and desires. Going out to sea to hunt monsters is extremely dangerous. You may not know when you will die. Finding some stimulation to vent your stress may not be the best way to relieve stress. I guess most monks don’t know how to do this. refuse this enjoyment.
Even Han Li himself cannot deny that he may have distracting thoughts. The difference is that he has a strong sense of restraint, and such meaningless things will not affect him at all.
What's more important is that since he met Caihuan not long ago, the pain of lovesickness that has accumulated in his heart for many years has been greatly alleviated. Looking at these luxurious scenes where lust is rampant, his heart is as calm as an ancient well.
Turning around to look at the master, he saw that the master was looking thoughtfully in a certain direction, and he couldn't help but feel something in his heart:
"What did master find?"
"I sensed the aura fluctuations of two early Yuanying monks. One of them should be the guard of Black Rock City, but the other one..." Looking back, Mo Juren smiled slightly and murmured.
"So that's it." Han Li suddenly realized, but was even more surprised. The intensity of his master's spiritual consciousness was so terrifying that he could instantly detect the location of a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage without being noticed by the opponent.
This could never be the result of successfully practicing the third level of "Dayan Jue". With the same progress, he knew very well. Could it be that the master had also completed the fourth level?
While they were talking, the two of them had already got off the platform, and then started walking around the bustling streets.
The atmosphere here is indeed different. There are many scenes of monks and mortals cuddling in the street without any scruples. Countless charming women stood at the entrances of many shops. They showed no fear at all when facing the monks coming and going. Instead, they flirted with them unscrupulously.
Mo Juren was no exception. Every woman passing by would subconsciously take a look at him, not to mention the charming women soliciting customers in front of the shops. Their eyes were full of desire, as if they wanted to eat him.
In comparison, Han Li was much quieter. Although he was also seen by women, he did not receive much attention because the contrast was too obvious.
Han Li could naturally feel such an obvious difference in treatment. Although he didn't care, he was still a little unhappy. He secretly cursed in his heart. After all, he was an ordinary man and was too superficial.
"Master, what are your plans next? Do you want to stay here?" Blackstone City is not big and is not suitable for permanent residence. Therefore, many monks will basically choose to find another island to open a cave, and will only stay in the city temporarily when necessary.
Han Li was naturally aware of these situations. Seeing that his master had been wandering around and seemed to have no intention of leaving immediately, it was obvious that something was going on, so he immediately asked out of curiosity.
"There is something I forgot to ask before. When I left, I asked you to collect the various raw materials needed for refining the two elixirs. How about it?" Mo Juren suddenly asked.
"Half of it has been collected, and only a few parts are left." Han Li did not hide anything, and immediately began to tell. After all, it involved secrets, he did not answer, but chose the method of sound transmission.
Over the years, relying on the huge market in Tianxing City, he has collected most of the alchemy materials. The Jiuqu Lingshen Pill is almost ready. The main medicine is ready, and only a few auxiliary medicines have not yet been found.
As for the 'Shenyuan Yingying Dan', this one is more troublesome. The auxiliary medicine is okay. It will take some time to get it together one day, but there is no hope at all for the main medicine, whether it is Xuanjing White Jade. Ginseng, or Jiuyou Xuanshui Ginseng has long been a legendary thing, and is probably extinct long ago.
"Not bad!" Mo Juren nodded with great satisfaction. What the other party collected, plus the part he exchanged in Tiannan, has almost made up 90% of the requirements for refining the two kinds of elixirs, and there are more than one. share.
"Let's go to the 'Cunjin Pavilion' first and leave later."
"Cunjin Pavilion?" Han Li suddenly thought. Looking at his master's expression, it was obvious that he had gained a lot from his return to Tiannan this time! I just don’t know how many there are?
When the elixir is refined in the future, he will definitely not lose his share.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little excited.
Cunjin Pavilion is the largest raw material store in Black Rock City, and there are even some rare materials that cannot be found in the Inland Sea. Therefore, if you want to find the remaining elixirs and materials, only there is the most likely place, otherwise it will be useless to go to other places.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a huge stone house with a large area. There was a plaque hanging at the door, with the three simple characters "Cunjin Pavilion" engraved on it.
Following the crowds coming in and out, the two of them also entered the hall. It is indeed the largest raw material store in Black Rock City. There are a lot of customers inside, and there are scenes of people negotiating with the store's butlers everywhere.
The arrival of Mo Juren and the two men naturally attracted the attention of the deacons, and a young man immediately came to greet them.
"I have met two distinguished guests. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Where is the person in charge of your store? Take us to see him." Han Li was the first to speak, and while answering, he directly let go of the cultivation of a strong man in the pill formation stage for a moment. The young man's expression suddenly changed, his attitude became more respectful and he said,
"Two seniors, please follow me."
Although Cunjin Pavilion looks like a huge stone house from the outside, it is not just the hall in front of you. There are also many separate stone rooms built around it, specially used to receive distinguished guests.
Soon, the two of them entered one of the VIP rooms under the guidance of the young man.
As soon as Fang entered, Mo Juren looked at it carefully for a moment. When he looked at a landscape painting on a certain wall, a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared quickly.
"Seniors, please wait for a moment. I will inform the steward immediately." After the two of them sat down one after another, the young man bowed respectfully again and then hurriedly left.
Even in Black Rock City, cultivators at the core forming stage cannot be neglected. Therefore, in just a moment, an old man with an ordinary appearance and whose cultivation was also at the stage of pill formation walked in with a smile.
"The two fellow Taoists are very familiar with each other. It must be the first time they come to our Cunjin Pavilion! I am Li Xun, the manager here, so you are polite." The old man looked directly at where Mo Juren was, and slightly arched his hands. He introduced with a smile.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Li, nice to meet you." Mo Juren nodded and continued,
"I came here this time to buy several kinds of elixir raw materials used in alchemy. Unfortunately, these things are relatively rare, and some of them only have names from ancient times. I wonder if your pavilion has them in stock?"
"Rare materials, that's it." After hearing the other party's request, the old man suddenly felt relieved, and then said with confidence,
"If it's something else, Li can't guarantee anything, but when it comes to elixirs and various materials, I'm not bragging. Cunjin Pavilion can definitely meet the needs of fellow Taoists."
After saying that, he turned to look outside the door and shouted coldly,
"Come here, go and call Gu Yu."
After waiting for a response from the door, the old man turned around again and explained with a smile,
"This ancient jade is a disciple of our pavilion. Although he is only in the Qi training stage, he likes to study various ancient elixirs, elixirs, etc. Perhaps this boy can recognize what the two fellow Taoists need."
Just as he was talking, suddenly, a ray of red light suddenly flew in from the window, hovered on the roof for a while, and landed accurately in the old man's hand. It was a communication talisman.
The talisman burned directly, but the old man ignored it. Instead, he stared at the fire for a moment and then extinguished it with his palm. The next moment, he said with a surprised look:
"Li is so rude! It turns out that these two fellow Taoists have just arrived in Black Rock City. I should show my friendship as a landlord."
The general information of the two people was found out in such a short period of time, which shows how powerful the Golden Pavilion is in Black Rock City. This person surnamed Li is even more refined. It is a bit rude to investigate openly and secretly, but when he speaks from his mouth, no one can feel bad at all.
"It doesn't matter, we just arrived." Mo Juren smiled slightly, looking unconcerned. Seeing this, the old man was very sensible and did not explore anything further. Instead, he changed the topic and talked about many strange things in Qiyuan Island. Both sides asked and answered questions, which was not interesting at all.
Without waiting too long, the ancient jade arrived. Judging from the appearance, this person is over fifty years old, dressed as a Confucian scholar. At such an age, he only has the cultivation level of Qi training period, which shows that his qualifications are not very good.
"I've met the three seniors. I wonder what I want to say to the juniors?"
"I heard what fellow Taoist Li said, I like to study ancient things and have great experience?" After looking at the other party, Mo Juren asked immediately.
"It's all senior Li's flattery, and this junior just did a little research." Gu Yu smiled modestly, but a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes, obviously he still had some confidence.
"That's good." Mo Juren nodded, and then spoke out three names in a leisurely manner. The two masters and disciples have gathered enough, but they are troubled by these three kinds of elixirs. These three kinds of elixirs are so rare that they are not mentioned in many materials obtained in the past, so he can only stay here. Try your luck.
After listening, not only Gu Yu, but Li Xun on the side also fell into deep thought.
After a while, Gu Yu immediately replied:
"Senior, please forgive me, but this disciple can only guess two of them. Hanxinmui is the stone marrow contained in snow crystal, a top spiritual material today, which is extremely rare; and Longlingxiang is the legendary ambergris, after passing A strange fragrance refined by some secret method. What we are talking about here is not a real dragon, but a monster with dragon blood, but it must be at least in the transformation stage."
"Snow crystal marrow, ambergris, that's it." Mo Juren suddenly realized that he was too familiar with the snow crystal marrow. Although it was also scarce, it was not difficult to find. On the contrary, this ambergris is a bit troublesome. It is not difficult to find ambergris. What is difficult is the method of refining it into a strange fragrance.
He looked at the ancient jade, but unfortunately, the other party only said that he had obtained an ancient book, which contained records in this regard, but he did not know the specific refining method at all.
While speaking, he respectfully presented a light yellow jade slip in his hand, which was a replica of the ancient book.
Mo Juren was not polite. He took it and scanned it briefly. Then he put it away with great satisfaction. At the same time, he took out a top-level magic weapon and gave it to the other party.
Gu Yu was naturally overjoyed, and after putting away the magic weapon, he said goodbye and left.
On the other side, Li Xun, who had also been thinking for a long time, also shook his head slightly. He didn't know the method of refining the ambergris, but he did know about the last special spiritual plant 'ghost vine', which is very common in the world of immortality. 'Spirit-Eating Vine'.
This vine is not a magical medicine, it is simply a strange herb. Almost no one pays attention to it, and no one has ever used it as a material for refining elixirs. Coupled with its own tenacious vitality, it can be seen everywhere in the spiritual world. .
However, this spirit-eating vine has a characteristic, that is, its lifespan is not long, and among the many auxiliary medicines that Mo Juren needs to refine the 'Shenyuan Yingying Dan', it is the fruit of this vine.
This is a bit strange. It seems that I have never heard that the Soul-Eating Vine can bear fruit. Is there any secret in it?
Mo Juren was not sure for a while. After asking Li Xun, the other party was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that what he needed was the fruit of this vine. Unfortunately, he didn't know this either.
"There is no way to get ambergris, and the fruits of the soul-eating vine can only be searched for by Taoist friends on their own. On the contrary, it is this snow crystal marrow. Coincidentally, we have just reserved a copy. If Taoist friends need it, Li will immediately Tell someone to get it." Suddenly, Li Xun once again told good news.
"Don't rush yet." Mo Juren stopped the other party, and a piece of white paper appeared in his hand. His fingertips flickered back and forth on the white paper for a while, and then he handed it to the front man.
"These nine kinds of materials are all needed by Mo. Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look and get them all if you have them." (End of Chapter)
