Fulong City is a large city that is famous far and wide, and the biggest reason why it is famous is that the ancient family in the city is a large alchemy family that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The previous patriarch of his family, Gu Shui, had unparalleled skills in alchemy. He even produced a seventh-grade elixir, and he was considered a half-step into the ranks of seventh-grade alchemists.
If an alchemist wants to improve his level, he must refine three different elixirs of corresponding levels, so that he can break through to this level.
This alchemist is also a popular treasure among warriors. After all, there are almost no warriors who do not need the alchemist's elixirs.
Whether it is to restore internal strength, heal injuries, or break through bottlenecks, warriors need the help of alchemists in many places.
However, the number of alchemists is extremely rare. Only one alchemist can be found among a hundred warriors, and only a few middle-grade alchemists can be found among a thousand alchemists.
As for the high-level alchemists who can refine the legendary high-grade elixirs of human flesh and bones, they are even rarer. There are no more than a hundred people in the entire Kyushu!
And these people are all people who can make countless warriors tremble with fear by just stamping their feet. After all, they are important figures who have connections with countless high-quality warriors.
Even if their own strength is not very high, they can make countless masters drive them.
Back then, there was a seventh-grade warrior in the Jianghu. He didn’t know how he got there.
However, the half-step seventh-level alchemy master of the Gu family passed away mysteriously in the past few years. The status of the ancient clan in Fulong City, which was once at its peak, also suffered a big blow. Even Gu Shui's son Gu Huo, with his four-dimensional body, As an alchemist, he held great power and controlled the ancient clan.

This is a small town less than thirty miles away from Fulong City.
The small town is called Yaocheng, and its radius is only a few dozen miles, which is far from being comparable to those big cities that are often hundreds or thousands of miles away.
This Medicine City lives up to its name, and you can smell the smell of herbs even from a few miles away. This is because this Medicine City is rich in a medicinal material called Ganoderma lucidum.
Ganoderma lucidum is a rare medicinal material here. It has mild medicinal properties and can replenish a large amount of qi and blood. It can also restore injuries caused by bruises. It serves as the main medicine in many low-grade recovery elixirs.
However, Ganoderma lucidum here likes shade by nature and grows exclusively in some moist and dark corners. It is easy to die during the growth period, so the market price remains high all year round, and supply exceeds demand.
I remember that this medicine city was not called Medicine City at the time. It was just a rundown and impoverished nameless town. That is to say, when a medicine dealer from Fulong City happened to pass by this medicine city, he accidentally discovered a lot of Ganoderma lucidum here. He had an idea. It turns out that this place is extremely suitable for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum.
So he spent a lot of money to organize the whole city to start planting Ganoderma lucidum in large quantities and sell it specifically to Nafulong City. From this, he led the whole city to make a lot of money.
Even this gold-lettered signboard hanging at the city gate was built by the medicine merchants of Fulong City with their own money. This originally unknown small town transformed into a medicine city, an important city supporting Fulong City's medicinal business.
On the road leading to Medicine City, there were specks of residual snow, and a slightly strange team was walking slowly.
"Hey! Your pig nose is really not bad, I actually let you find the way!" Yiniao rode on the pig demon and said a little bit, "Here, I will reward you with a sausage!"
As he spoke, Yiniao took something out of his pocket
He took out an undercooked sausage and stuffed it into the pig demon's mouth.
The pig demon also squeaked and ate it in two mouthfuls, and continued to run happily with its four big hooves.
Jiang Zhiyuan poked his head out of the carriage and said displeasedly, "Did you feed that pig again? I've said that these grains are very valuable, and there's still such a long way to go. Why don't you feed them?" This pig has eaten all this, so we won’t have anything to eat later!”
"If you want a pig to run fast, you have to stuff it with more food. If you don't feed the pig, how can you make it run? Besides, this pig is pulling everything around. If you tire it to death Well, then is it possible for us to walk to Qingzhou?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was speechless after what Yi Niao said. Originally, she wanted to move this pig demon out, but it was a sixth-grade demon. How could he not be able to pull them away? However, the pig demon didn't know whether he had guessed her thoughts, but he stopped immediately and looked weak. .
This made her say angrily, "Go buy food yourself next time."
Seeing Jiang Zhiyuan retracting into the carriage, Yiniao immediately laughed and took out another wax fish from his pocket. He first tore off the head and tail of the wax fish and stuffed it into the pig demon's mouth. Then he put the fish belly with the most meat into his mouth.
The pig demon didn't mind it either, and started chewing it with big mouthfuls.
Yiniao patted the pig demon on the butt and rushed to the medicine city.
In the carriage, an internal force barrier held up by Jiang Zhiyuan and Liao Meng took turns to firmly isolate the cold air and create a warm environment. Jiang Xianfeng was sleeping on Jiang Zhiyuan's legs, with all the clothes off his upper body, while Ling Meng was sitting opposite them, meditating with his eyes closed.
"We're going to Medicine City now. Once we get to Medicine City, we'll be not far from Fulong City." Jiang Zhiyuan said.
Jiang Xianfeng muttered and complained, "What happened to my back? Isn't it just that I was bitten by some bug in the mountain? Why haven't you let me lie down to sleep these days? I'm so lying down I really can’t fall asleep!”
Jiang Zhiyuan could only comfort him and said, "Just be patient, we will arrive at the medicine city soon. Then ask a doctor to take a look at it. Take a look, and you will be fine soon."
After Jiang Xianfeng heard this, he could only lie back helplessly.
What he didn't know was that there were already several strange black marks on his back, like plum blossoms, and there were signs of spreading to the surroundings, but a layer of cyan mist covered these black marks. It seemed to suppress them.
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Jiang Xianfeng lying on his lap and touched his head distressedly, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
They have been walking for five full days since they set out from Chunyu Village. During these five days, they have been walking through the mountains and forests. Along the way, they have encountered all kinds of strange Cordyceps, birds and animals. Fortunately, they are strong people. Gao Qiang, most of the situations are passed without any danger.
However, there is a gap in the hundred secrets. Just two days ago, Jiang Xianfeng was bitten by an unknown insect, and then he became like this.
Along the way, Jiang Zhiyuan and Liao Meng tried their best, but they could only barely suppress the spread of the poison.
No one knows what kind of poisonous insect bit Jiang Xianfeng, or what kind of damage the black poison will cause to Jiang Xianfeng's body.
After all, they are not proficient in medical science and do not know how to detoxify and treat poisons. They can only treat them quickly
The horse rushed to the medicine city, hoping to find a doctor to treat Jiang Xianfeng as soon as possible.
Not long after, Yi Niao shouted outside, "We're at the city gate, everyone, get out of the car!"
Jiang Zhiyuan also immediately put on Jiang Xianfeng's clothes. After tidying up for a while, he got out of the car.
The gate of the medicine city is also very lively. Many people are either carrying medicine baskets, containing medicinal materials to be taken into the city to sell, or pushing small carts containing medicinal materials, preparing to leave the city.
I don’t know if it’s the unique smell of the city itself, or if the people coming and going are part of the smell. In short, everything here seems to be related to this medicine.
"This smell... is so pungent! It reminds me of those bitter and unpleasant medicinal soups I was always fed..." Jiang Xianfeng complained, holding his nose.
Jiang Zhiyuan rubbed his head and said, "Who made you so weak when you were a child? You are always prone to colds and fevers. If you don't take medicine, who will take medicine?"
Jiang Xianfeng could only shake his head helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Who makes me suffer from colds and fevers?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what I'm curious about is why you don't practice martial arts? Can't practicing martial arts strengthen your body?" Yi Niao asked curiously from the side.
Jiang Xianfeng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I was too lazy at the beginning. Even when my sister wanted to teach me martial arts, I resisted because I was afraid of hardship. So...that's it..."
Everyone sighed when they heard this, and Yiniao patted the pig demon on the head and said, "You can't be like this guy, otherwise you won't live long..."
The pig demon also nodded in cooperation, causing Jiang Zhiyuan to come over and hit the pig demon's head hard. The pig demon felt helpless after the pain. Every time this beneficial bird was the first to cause trouble, it ended up wiping its butt.
When the soldiers guarding the city who were on duty to check people coming and going saw this, they immediately yelled dissatisfiedly, "What are you people doing! Heering and making noise, be careful I will arrest you all!"
The crowd around them also cast strangely unkind glances at them. Because of the scolding of the city guard, the inspection work came to a halt, and the city gate was suddenly blocked by the crowd.
Yi Niao immediately shut his mouth honestly, and the others didn't want to cause more trouble, so they fell silent.
At this moment, a woman riding a tall horse, wearing a pure white dress and a thin veil on her face came out of the city.
The crowd suddenly started talking like a pot exploding.
"Isn't this the only daughter of the head of the Gu family in Fulong City, Gu Meng? Why did she come to Medicine City in person?"
"Look at the group of servants following her, they are pushing a lot... That is Ganoderma lucidum. It is estimated that this is the last stock in the entire medicine city. If we want to have Ganoderma lucidum again, we have to wait until the spring of next year. !”
"Yes, I heard that Fulong City is full of murderous intent now... The Gu family is afraid..."
"But this Gu Meng is a famous beauty in Fulong City. Several big families are interested in marrying with the Gu family!"
"If such a woman can be with me..."
"Don't think about it. At least until the Gu family has not completely collapsed, even the big families don't dare to be too presumptuous. After all, the Gu family still has some strength to struggle!"
…………
Everyone looked at this beautiful woman with either admiration or pity. Her clothes were as white as snow and not stained by any dust!
