The foundation-building disciples of Qingfeng Palace were all arranged in an inn not far from the city lord's palace. Calculating the time, it was still early to go to Yinfeng Gorge. At this time, they could not calm down and practice, so Shang Ruhai and others made an appointment. Qingyang and Senior Brother Cai went to Tujiao City for a stroll.
The market here in Tujiao City is different from those in other places. The most popular items sold in the market here are some monster materials, such as monster blood that can be used to make talismans, and monster beasts that can be used to refine elixirs. Inner elixirs, monster claws and furs that can be used to make magic weapons, monster bones and flesh that can be eaten, and even whole monster corpses are almost all available.
If there are too many similar things, they will become less valuable. These things usually cannot be sold at high prices. However, it has recently been rumored that the seven immortal sects have entered Tujiao City together and are preparing to join forces to destroy Yinfeng Gorge. This is a rare opportunity for communication. Of course They couldn't miss it, so they all took out the good things they had treasured for a long time, preparing to sell them at a good price during this period.
The market in Tujiao City was also much more lively than usual. It was very lively with people coming and going. It took Qingyang and his party most of the day to visit the entire market. Everyone bought a lot of good things, and even Qingyang himself exchanged elixirs for a few demonic beast inner elixirs.
In fact, the demon elixir is also a good material for the elixir in it, because it contains the essence of the demon beast. It can be refined with some auxiliary medicines and used to improve cultivation. However, the inner elixir of low-level demon beasts is easy to break and is not good. It is stored for a long time, so it is rarely used to make elixirs.
Qingyang didn't do much research on this aspect, and he didn't bother to bother with it. However, these monster inner elixirs were of great use to the iron-armed monkey. They were both monsters. The iron-armed monkey spent some time and could use the inner elixirs of the monsters. Absorb and refine it, thereby turning it into your own cultivation.
It's just that the inner elixir of low-level monsters is too fragile. The inner elixir of monsters below level three is just a ball of gas in a thin film. The inner elixir of levels four to six is filled with liquid. Often after a fierce battle, the inner elixir of monsters is destroyed. If it is destroyed, even if you occasionally get a complete one, it cannot be stored for a long time, so the monster inner elixir is extremely rare. After shopping around, Qingyang only bought three.
Among them, there are two third-level demonic beast inner elixirs and the other one is a fourth-level demonic beast inner elixir. They are not many in number and can be used for a while. The iron-armed monkey uses the spirit-swallowing technique to take the demonic beast inner elixir to the maximum extent possible. If the energy is not lost, it is estimated that it can at least improve the Iron Arm Monkey's cultivation by one level.
After visiting the market, the others returned to the inn. Qingyang remembered that Tian Shengcai lived in Tujiao City. They were all friends when they were in Qingfeng Palace. Now that he has come to Tujiao City, it is just a matter of course. It seemed unreasonable to go and check it out.
Ten years ago, Tian Shengcai felt that there was no development in Qingfeng Palace, so he gave up his identity as a disciple of Qingfeng Palace and took Sang Qinglan back to his hometown of Tujiao City to live his own life.
When I first joined the sect, I chose a hope. If my qualifications were high enough or my luck was good enough, I would soar into the sky after crossing the threshold. Those who did not cross the threshold could only retreat in despair. When Tian Shengcai entered the Qingfeng Hall, he was already at his extreme age, had average qualifications, and was not lucky enough. It was only natural that this would happen in the end.
With the strength of Tian Shengcai and Sang Qinglan, although they won't do much in Tujiao City, their lives will not be too bad. After all, Tian Shengcai has already reached the middle stage of Qi refining, and he can't do much in Tujiao City. It is considered the upper middle class. As long as there are no problems, you can always gain a foothold here.
Qingyang only knows roughly which part of Tujiao City Tian Shengcai lives in, but does not know the specific location. However, Tian Shengcai had an old house in the city before joining Qingfeng Palace. He should still live there after he comes back. After a little inquiry, it is easy to find out. Found Tian Shengcai's home.
This is an old house in the south of the city. There are many such houses around, covering an area of less than one acre. It is not as good as the residence in the Qingfeng Hall Miscellaneous Yard. However, having such a yard in Tujiao City is worse than It's already pretty good to have a lot of low-level casual cultivators.
The door to the courtyard was open, and there seemed to be voices inside. Qingyang looked closer and saw two groups of people standing in the courtyard. On the left was a middle-aged woman with slightly dark-red skin, wearing an embroidered blue dress. He was wearing a robe, and there were three children standing in a row next to him.
Qingyang recognized it at a glance. The middle-aged woman was Sang Qinglan. At this time, her cultivation was at the second level of Qi Refining. When she was in the Qingfeng Palace, she was always stuck at the ninth level of the Pulse Opening Realm and could not advance to Qi Refining. period, but he got a breakthrough when he returned to Tujiao City. I don’t know if it was due to the environment.
Needless to say, those three children must be the children of her and Tian Shengcai. The younger one is two or three years old, and the older one is only seven or eight years old. It has only been about ten years since they left Qingfeng Palace, and they have three children in a row. My child, he has achieved great results in recent years.
Opposite Sang Qinglan stood a middle-aged man and two young men. The middle-aged man was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and the two young men behind him only had the Pulse Opening Realm, so they should be followers.
At this time, I only heard the middle-aged man say: "Sang Qinglan, have you thought about it? Do you still want to save your husband? If you don't get the spirit stone today, we will not show mercy anymore."
Sang Qinglan looked miserable, obviously she had no choice but to plead: "But we really don't have the spirit stone now. If we can return the spirit stone, it won't be delayed until now. Boss Meng, can you Can’t we wait for a few more days before we can think of a solution?”
Boss Meng sneered and said: "How many days to wait? How many days to wait? Do you have a spiritual stone in your family? I tell you the truth, if you don't get the spiritual stone today, we will completely destroy your husband's cultivation." Because, it is natural to pay back debts, even if you go to the city lord's mansion, it is the same."
Sang Qinglan whispered: "We only borrowed 60 spiritual stones at the beginning. In just half a year, the principal and interest have increased to 150 yuan. How can we afford to pay it back? What's more, Lao Tian has already paid back I gave you a hundred yuan, and the rest is just interest. Can’t you just wait a few days?”
Boss Meng said: "No matter how much it is, it is what you agreed to at the beginning. To tell you the truth, as of today, the combined principal and interest has risen to 200 yuan, and the interest is increasing every day. Now you can't afford it. If I wait a few more days, I won’t be able to afford it.”
There is no need for the other party to remind him, Sang Qinglan also understands this truth. The two hundred spirit stones can only increase more and more. They can't afford it now, and they will definitely not be able to afford it in the future. The reason why they begged the other party to slow down for a few days is because they can't afford it. There are ways and means that can be delayed for a while.
Her husband was still in the other party's hands, and she and her three children were the only ones left at home. What solution could she come up with? If it were just me, I would risk my life to fight to the death with the other person. Now that I have a child, I have a bond, and I have to consider the consequences of everything I do.
