Zhuzhu was very satisfied that the other party was so aware of current affairs and repaid his kindness. Although she didn't know Tang Qian well, she found that his character was quite good through the short contact just now.
At least after she and Jiaojiao intercepted his clam demon to collect the moire pearl, he didn't say anything. He just offered to exchange a piece of information for the moire pearl.
Zhuzhu was about to ask, if that information had any value, she could exchange it with spirit stones or other items.
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian took the moiré pearl and took the initiative to mention it: "I mentioned before that I would exchange a piece of information for the moiré pearl. This promise will not change. I wonder if the two fellow Taoists are interested in hearing it?"
"Fellow Taoist Tang, please speak."
Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao nodded in agreement at the same time. They came here to experience and find opportunities. Since Tang Qianqian proposed to exchange information for the moire pearl, it means that this information may have certain value.
"This information is about Luo Lan, the ancestor of the Luo family..." Tang Qian slowly told about his experience.
It turned out that he and his Taoist companions were both Five Spiritual Root monks. They had practiced for more than eighty years before reaching the middle stage of foundation building.
The two knew that there was no hope of advancing to the golden elixir in this life, and they just wanted to spend the rest of their lives supporting each other.
However, in recent years, his Taoist companion would look into the mirror sadly every once in a while, lamenting that his appearance was getting old, or that he had grown a few more gray hairs today, etc.
Although Tang Qian was not a superficial person who cared about the Taoist couple's appearance, he loved his wife so much that he couldn't bear her being so sad, so he wanted to buy a beauty pill for her so that her appearance would be permanent and she would no longer be sad about it.
But a Dingyan Pill costs fifty high-grade spiritual stones, which is a sky-high price for two ordinary foundation-building casual cultivators.
However, there is another way to take the Qi Ding Dan, which is to find a way to collect the medicinal materials and spiritual plants used to refine the Qi Ding Dan, and then spend some spiritual stones to ask an alchemist to refine it for them.
Although this method has certain risks, not to mention how troublesome it is to collect the various spiritual plants and medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir, there is also the possibility of failure during the process of refining the elixir.
And this risk must be borne by themselves.
But for the sake of loving his wife, Tang Qian had no hesitation and started traveling all over the country to find various spiritual plants and medicinal materials needed to refine Yan Dan.
He quickly collected the other three spiritual plants that were relatively easy to obtain, leaving only the two more rare ones: cloud pattern pearls and moon shadow grass.
The cloud pattern pearl came from the body of the fifth-level clam demon and was difficult to obtain by himself. Tang Qian immediately decided to look for the Moon Shadow Grass first.
Moonshadow is also not easy to obtain.
Because it grows on Zhimeng Island, which is more than 10,000 miles away from Butterfly Island.
Zhimeng Island is not a big island, and it is full of dangers. Half of it is a miasma-rich rain forest, and the other half is a swamp filled with poisonous gas, and there are many monsters in it.
If a foundation-building monk wants to go there, he must take a spirit boat or spirit boat.
There are no monks living on Zhimeng Island, and naturally there are no Chamber of Commerce spirit ships to go there.
Only some Jindan masters who made a living by driving spirit boats went there.
The people sitting on their spirit boats were all monks in the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment who were not yet able to fly with swords or in the early stages of Golden Core whose cultivation was too low to dare to fly with swords in the vast sea.
This is how Tang Qian took the spiritual boat to Zhimeng Island.
Moon Shadow Grass grows in the rainforest on Zhimeng Island, usually by rivers or lakes.
Tang Qian dared to enter the rain forest only after taking a third-grade miasma-removing pill in advance.
It was just that I finally found a Moon Shadow Grass, but as soon as I picked it, I accidentally disturbed a group of fourth-level alligators.
He ran away in a hurry, but accidentally stepped on the air and fell into a hole. He rolled down along the pitted but extremely slippery hole for more than half an hour, and then knocked away a hard object with a "bang". He stopped.
Ignoring the big bump on his head, Tang Qian stood up and wanted to see clearly where he was.
However, it was pitch dark and nothing could be seen, but luckily he brought a luminous stone.
When Tang Qian took out the luminous stone and walked not far forward, he found that there was faint sunlight shining above his head. Only then did he see the surrounding environment clearly.
It turned out that I came to a courtyard.
And it is the kind of exquisite courtyard with pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water.
It's just that he was at the first entrance to the courtyard, and the door was knocked open due to an accidental roll. When he wanted to go in and see what was inside, he realized that he couldn't open the second door to the courtyard at all.
Even if he tried to violently break it open with a magical weapon, it was of no use. On the contrary, the door bounced the spell back, almost injuring him.
Tang Qian was immediately discouraged. He was only a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and he accidentally fell here alone. Even if he came to some ancient monk's cave, he might not be able to get the treasures in the cave with his life.
It's better to note down the location here and come back later when you become stronger, or if you need something from someone else one day, you can use this thing in exchange.
He had no choice but to walk out of the yard and looked up carefully, wanting to remember this place clearly and go back to check the books to see which powerful man's cave had been here.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw three large golden plaques with "Youlanju" hanging on the vermilion door.
As far as he knew, the cave where the deceased first generation ancestor of the Luo family, the founder of Luolan City, Zhensheng Luolan, lived was called "Youlan Residence".
Could it be that this was also the cave where she lived?
Soon Tang Qian was sure that his guess was good, because he had just seen many wild orchids on the rockeries and the flower pond in the first courtyard.
I heard that the True Saint of Roland was obsessed with orchids, and many orchids were planted in every cave.
This also verified his guess, making him more and more certain that this was once the cave of True Saint Roland.
And maybe it was the cave where she lived during the last moments of her life, so its value would be even greater.
It is said that the Luo family did not find where True Sage Roland was seated. They only found out that she failed to break through the Mahayana stage and passed away after seeing the soul lamp she left in her home in Roland City extinguished.
Tang Qian knew how exciting this information was. If he sold this information to the Luo family, they would give it to him not to mention one pill, but even ten pills.
But he still didn't want to. Firstly, he was selfish and wanted to monopolize the opportunity when he became stronger in the future. Secondly, he was afraid that the Luo family would secretly assassinate him for this cave and thus kill him.
After all, he broke into Roland's cave and they wouldn't believe him even if he said he didn't take anything.
It's better to hide this secret in your heart and find the right opportunity and person before telling it.
Today, he found it.
From the moment the two female cultivators saved his life in time when they met for the second time, Tang Qian felt that their character should not be bad.
Sure enough, even though they seemed to have some secrets that could not be disclosed to the outside world, they never thought of killing him and silencing him.
Instead, he took the initiative to take out the moiré pearl as hush money, just in exchange for his inner demon oath.
But he never thought that a monk with five spiritual roots like him would never have the hope of ascending in this life, and how could he be restricted by the inner demon oath.
