"This... is generally not possible. You can pay the demon pill first, receive the token, and then go to the city to buy some star stones to make up for it." The general said a way.
"Thank you, senior." There are naturally a lot of demon pills in Liangchen's storage bag, just the strange wrens killed in the rotten swamp are enough.
He took out twenty fifth-level demon pills and handed them over. The general waved his hand and muttered a few words. The guard next to him stepped forward, collected the demon pills, and headed straight to the first floor.
After a while, the guard came up with a black iron token in his hand and handed it to the general.
The general picked up the token, drew it with both hands, carved two words and handed it to Liangchen.
"You take it first. This token allows you to live in the city for thirty days. If you need to continue to stay here, you will need to pay tribute again."
"Buy the Spark Stone first and hand it over later," the general said.
Liangchen took the token and found that a cow's head was engraved on it, and the other side was filled with unknown characters.
"Thank you, senior. I wonder what you call senior?" Liangchen thanked him.
"I am the leader of the Tianhuo City Guard Army. Just call me General Guniu." General Guniu said.
"It turns out that this place is called Tianhuo City. General, I don't understand the language here. Is there any way to learn it?" Liangchen asked again.
"I really don't have this, but you can buy it when you go to the Black Stone Building in the city, and the shop owner comes from the west forest like you." General Guniu said, pointing to a map on the wall behind him, and clicked on it Somewhere in the city.
"Oh! That's very good. Thank you for the advice, General!" Liangchen felt happy when he heard that he had come from the Lost Forest. As long as he could be found, he would naturally be able to find his way back. He quickly stared at the map on the wall and memorized the route.
"I've been bothering you for a long time. I'll take my leave. General, please accept your kindness." Liangchen got the token and took out a dozen spiritual fruits and handed them to the general.
General Guniu didn't refuse, he put it away directly and sent the guest away with a smile, "If you have any difficulties, please come to me again."
"Thank you, General!" Liangchen followed the two guards downstairs, walked to a deserted corner, and took a few more spiritual fruits and handed them to them.
With joy on their faces and words of gratitude that even Liangchen couldn't understand, they sent him into the city.
After entering the city at a good time, he started looking for the black stone building based on his memory.
Fortunately, Tianhuo City is not big. After two sticks of incense, Liangchen stood in front of a three-story black stone building.
There were three words written on it. Although he didn't recognize them, he should be able to guess that they were Black Stone Building. He stepped into the small building.
"..." When he saw someone entering the store, a thin old man came up to him with a smile and muttered something.
Liangchen sensed it briefly, and suddenly had a strange look on his face. This person was in the Golden Core stage, but his whole body was weak in magic and didn't look like a Golden Core monk at all. This made him very surprised.
"Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper of Black Stone Tower?" Liangchen asked.
The skinny old man was about to answer when he heard the voice, but suddenly his face was stunned, and then there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You...came from the Lost Forest?!" The old man walked forward quickly and changed his language in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that senior is coming from there too?" Liangchen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he found the right person.
"Which tribe are you from? Taimeng, Zhenyin or Taiwu?" the skinny old man asked.
"I came from the Taimeng tribe." Liangchen was not from the three major tribes, so he had to answer vaguely.
"Taimeng tribe? Are the Dark Night Sect and Tianxing Sect still incompatible with each other? Is there a winner?" The skinny old man asked several more questions in succession.
"It's still evenly matched, each has its own side." Liangchen replied.
"You? Come on, come on, sit upstairs." The old man was about to ask again, but suddenly realized that he was a little rude in his hurry, so he quickly changed his words and greeted him upstairs.
Liangchen did not refuse and followed the old man to the second floor.
The second floor is a small living room with a wooden table, a few wooden chairs, and a few pots of spiritual flowers and herbs next to it. There are two paintings hanging on the wall, a sunset in the desert and an owl spreading its wings, which are simple and elegant.
The skinny old man brewed a pot of spiritual tea and said, "I haven't seen anyone from my hometown for a long time. I was a bit presumptuous just now. May I ask what you call my friend?"
"I'm Yechen, what do you call the shopkeeper?" Liangchen said.
"My surname is Huang, my single name is Ye, and I am known as Huang Ye Zhenren. Now I am a shopkeeper here. Come and have some tea. Let's try the spirit tea here." Seeing that the tea was brewed, he poured a cup and handed it over.
Liangchen picked it up and smelled it. The tea was not fragrant and had a slight bitterness. Then he took a slow sip and found that the water was excellent.
"Not bad, not bad. What kind of spiritual spring is this? It tastes sweet and full of spiritual energy. If the leaves were better, it would be top quality!" Liangchen commented.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Ye is also a master of tea ceremony!" The skinny old man said with a surprised look on his face, "The spiritual energy here is thin, and the spiritual tea is not as good as ours. This spring water is taken from the unique spiritual spring here, the Spring of Youth."
"Fountain of Youth!" Liangchen was startled when he heard the sound. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"I wonder how Master Huang Ye got here?" Liangchen asked after taking another sip of spiritual tea.
"Oh~ it's a long story!"
"About a sixty years ago, I made an appointment with some friends to hunt for treasures in the Endless Desert. We encountered a wave of beasts. After running away, several people got separated, leaving only one person with me. Later, we both got lost in this vast desert. I have been searching for the direction in this boundless desert for more than a year, and finally I was lucky enough to meet a group of people from this place, and I came here."
"I see, why didn't the real person go back and instead stayed here?" Liangchen asked doubtfully.
"The spiritual energy of this place is thin, why don't I want to go back!" Huang Yezhen said with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"After resting and recovering here, my friend and I prepared maps, planned the route, and then set off on our way home. Unexpectedly, we encountered a big sand wave a few months later. I risked my life to escape and ascend to heaven, but my friend was sleeping in the sea of sand. !
After I came back that time, it took me two years of training before I mustered up the courage to try to go back again. As a result, I was attacked by more than a dozen monsters on the way and returned home seriously injured. From then on, I stopped thinking about going back and stayed here with peace of mind. It’s been like this for decades! "
"I was injured several times, and the spiritual energy here was too thin, so it was difficult for me to recover. When the elixir ran out, I took the demon pill to absorb the spiritual energy of the demon pill. As a result, my realm was greatly damaged. Now it's empty. There is a golden elixir realm, but no mana to mobilize.
Sigh~ Later I started trying to refine elixirs, but the famous Kunai master didn’t have any elixir prescriptions. So far, I can only refine some low-level elixirs, barely maintaining a trace of mana. Later, I opened this black stone building here to earn some money for me to make alchemy. "Huang Ye Zhenren said with a sad face and a sigh.
"I actually have such an experience!"
After hearing this, Liangchen was amazed in his heart. Thinking of his own thrilling experience in the desert, it was almost the same.
If he hadn't escaped by chance, I might have become a desert soul by now! Please pay attention to read the latest chapters
