Jiang Chen found a restaurant called "Jinshantang". The name was quite meaningful, and he immediately wanted to go in and have a taste after just one glance. The restaurant has seven floors, and the lower two floors are for people to come and go. The place where guests ate, and the upstairs was a place for guests to rest. Since they arrived earlier, there was still a while before the peak business period, so there were not many people in the restaurant yet.
Jiang Chen deliberately found a seat by the window on the second floor and prepared to taste the food here. He specially ordered two dishes called Jinzhu Wenling Soup and Baifu Bizhu Meal. The names seemed extremely elegant without losing their uniqueness. , Jinzhu soup is made from Jinzhu, a very common medicinal ingredient, which is very good for pregnancy and nourishing the body. And Baifu Bizhu meal, as the name suggests, is made from Bibo Lake, which is from Dashang territory. The brewing of Zhong Sheng Yang beads is of great benefit to warriors in exercising their muscles and bones.
The materials used may seem simple, they are all very common spiritual materials, but after being cooked by the famous herbalist here, the efficacy can be doubled, and the price is reasonable. The two herbal dishes Jiang Chen ordered just now, It cost him a total of thirty spirit stones, and the materials used in it were estimated to cost more than ten spirit stones. If the described effect can be achieved, then the price is not expensive.
Nowadays, many warriors are even willing to choose to order medicated meals instead of buying potions, because for the same effect, the price of potions is much more expensive than medicated meals. The only difference between the two is that the potions are very powerful, although they are very harmful to the body. There is some damage, but the advantage is that it works quickly.
The spiritual power of medicinal food is mild and can have a warming and tonic effect on the body, but because it does no harm to the body, the effect is slow. Which one of the two is stronger can only depend on the needs of the warriors.
For Jiang Chen, he doesn't need this to have much effect, as long as it can improve his food and not bring too much turbidity to his body, he can feel the warmth in the soup spoon and a trace of spiritual power. It is constantly being released from the mouth, the delicious taste stimulates the taste buds, and the comfort enjoyed by spending money is fully displayed at this moment.
Compared with the medicinal meals he prepared before, the bowl of Golden Bamboo Wenling Soup in his hand was simply delicious. After a few mouthfuls, Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to pick up the other bowl of Baifu Bizhu Diet. It tasted sweet and delicious, Bizhu. It is broken up by the spiritual power and melts in the mouth. I really can't believe how the herbalist came up with such a method. Just some ordinary spiritual materials can be concocted into such a wonderful thing that is both delicious and medicinal.
I heard that there is a kind of elixir called Bigu Pill, which can help you avoid eating for three months after taking it. However, now, it is rare to see Bigu Pill. I don’t know why. He walked around various shops in the city and almost never saw it. After seeing the Bigu Pill, Jiang Chen did not deliberately pursue the reason why it was difficult to see. The purpose of practicing a method was to seize longevity from heaven and change one's destiny against the sky. Everything in the world is developing. Things including the Bigu Pill may be It was just eliminated for some reason.
The emergence of professions such as pharmacists and herbalists may be a new adaptation to this era. With the changes in the environment, these two professions may disappear in the future.
He did not delve into the reason and just ate the medicinal food. As long as he reached the foundation building stage, he could permanently live without grains and replenish his spiritual power by absorbing spiritual energy. However, if a warrior is not innate, he cannot live without grains. One of them is the blood orifice. A large amount of energy needs to be injected from the outside world, and warriors cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enough, so they cannot directly absorb spiritual energy like Qi practitioners. Especially warriors in the Qi and blood realm. Although they can induce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they consume a lot of energy. It's bigger, and it can't be done like a Qi Master in the foundation building stage.
Only when warriors reach the Xiantian realm and the vitality in their body is self-generated can they be able to live without food. Therefore, the emergence of herbal dietitians is of positive significance to the huge number of warriors. In other words, it is the huge group of warriors that gave birth to the emergence of herbal dietitians.
While Jiang Chen was eating, three more big men came up from the second floor. The veins in the hands of the three of them were exposed, and their whole bodies were full of energy and blood. At first glance, they were warriors who were refining in the flesh, and they had reached the perfection of the body refining realm. The three of them Seeing that only Jiang Chen was eating on the second floor, he took a quick look and walked to the window seat on the other side.
The three of them didn't seem to pay much attention to Jiang Chen. They just pretended that he didn't exist and talked loudly. It seemed that the presence of Jiang Chen on the second floor did not affect the conversation of the three of them.
Jiang Chen didn't care when he saw this. He had almost finished eating. He was sitting by the window now. He just wanted to take a closer look at the bustling market. When he saw the three people coming up, he just looked at them and looked away.
But at this moment, the voices of the three people next door suddenly became quieter. Jiang Chen instantly noticed the strangeness of the three people. His face was expressionless, and his eyes pretended to be looking out the window, but in fact, he was concentrating and wanted to hear the three people's whispers. The content of the speech.
"Have you heard? After the auction, the city lord will hold a sacrificial ceremony in the east city to sacrifice eight hundred warriors and pray for King Shang!" One of the younger people covered his mouth with his hands and said softly.
"Lao Wu, where did you hear this kind of news?" The bearded man sitting next to the young man asked doubtfully.
The young warrior glanced around, and seeing that Jiang Chen had stopped looking, he continued: "I have a brother who works in the city lord's mansion and is responsible for guarding the altar. He revealed this to me after drinking with me last night. I heard that the altar is built. Well, even the eight hundred warriors are imprisoned in the altar, and at night, bursts of shouts can be heard from inside the altar."
Another man with thick eyebrows also asked doubtfully: "Why did the city lord sacrifice 800 warriors to pray for King Shang for no reason?"
"I heard from my brother that the city lord deserted King Ji and turned to the Great Shang. However, the king of Zhenguo who entered the city today didn't seem to believe him. He asked him to continue to capture the fleeing warriors of Ji in Sang City, and asked the city lord to general The warriors who were captured recently and belonged to the Ji Kingdom were used to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings to show their loyalty."
The young warrior lowered his voice by three points when he heard the thick-browed man's question.
The bearded man shook his head and said with a trace of unhappiness on his face: "Da Shang is really too much. Now only Sang City is left in the Ji Kingdom, and the royal family has been wiped out by it. It still has to hunt down the fleeing warriors. It really has no kindness at all."
After hearing the words of the bearded man, the two men quickly glanced at Jiang Chen and covered their mouths with their hands to signal him to keep quiet. The young warrior then said: "Brother Zhang, please be careful. Sang City is now tight inside and loose outside. The city lord's palace is arresting people everywhere." , be careful if these words are heard and you will be framed as a remnant of the Ji Kingdom."
It's a good thing that the young warrior didn't say this. After saying this, he instantly aroused the anger of the bearded man. He said in a low voice and fiercely: "The great merchant is so unscrupulous, he will die at his own hands sooner or later."
The thick-browed man shook his head and seemed to disapprove of the bearded man's words: "The power of Dashang is beyond the imagination of low-level warriors like us. I only hope that after the sacrifice of these 800 people, Sang City can usher in stability. The three of us should say less." It’s best to avoid getting into trouble.”
When the young warrior heard this, he nodded and said: "I heard that the whole city will be under martial law during the sacrifice. No one is allowed to leave the city without permission. After the three of us have eaten, we should go and hand over the good things quickly. The commission should be settled early."
"You think it's really strange. The three of us and I have been escorting the caravan supplies to the Fu family all year round, but this year's goods seem to be much more than usual. After this trip, let's not say that we have already made three trips this month. Is business so good recently?"
The thick-browed man took a big gulp of tea and said strangely.
After hearing this, the young warrior calmly refilled his cup with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this? I heard that this auction event is much larger than before. If Sangcheng hadn't When it comes to the conquest of the great merchants, I'm afraid more people will come, and more people will buy more things. I hope that Fujia's business will get better and better. In this way, the three of us brothers can still You can earn more spiritual stones, right?"
After hearing this, the three of them laughed, their voices not as quiet as before.
The bearded man also agreed: "Indeed, after this trip, I have found the magic weapon. After the spirit stone is tied, I can take the two brothers to have fun."
Jiang Chen listened to the words of the three people one by one. When he heard what the young warrior said about Ji Chengdian preparing to sacrifice eight hundred warriors, he was shocked. If he hadn't personally experienced the horror, he might have heard it. I feel nothing.
When making a sacrifice, in order to make the ceremony solemn, a series of prayers will be held first, and in this process, the blood of the sacrifice needs to be used as a medium to pray, so the sacrifice will not die immediately, but will be brutally tortured. When the vitality gradually dies away and the prayers are completed, all the sacrifices will be completed.
Jiang Chen couldn't even bear to look at the cruelty. Some people had their hands chopped off, and some had their feet chopped off. The person presiding over the ceremony didn't care how these sacrifices were struggling, and waited until the ceremony was completed. At that time, after the sacrificial ceremony communicated with some kind of being in the underworld, the flesh and blood vitality of all the sacrificed people would be sucked away, leaving only the bones in place.
When Jiang Chen was captured and sacrificed, he had a chance to escape because there was a surrogate puppet left by an old Taoist priest. However, after he used the Earth Trap Talisman to escape, he found that all the buried people were only bones. , the flesh and blood has disappeared without a trace.
This is the horror of sacrifice. He secretly suppressed the news in his heart and made up his mind to leave Sangcheng as soon as the auction was over. He fled far away. Although his strength was low, he still had the ability to attack and kill more than a hundred cavalry. Because of his participation, if someone is deliberately looking for it, there is no guarantee that he will not be found through clues. Therefore, although his identity is hidden now, he can still leave as early as possible.
As for what the three people said about Fujia's frequent escorting of supplies, he had the same idea as the three of them. He only thought that it was because of the influence of the auction that business had improved, so he had to transfer goods from other places, so he didn't take it seriously. Something happened.
Seeing that the three of them were still talking to each other, Jiang Chen lost interest and left Jinshan Hall after paying the bill.
