As the largest city in the oasis, Huansha City naturally has a very high average level of fighting spirit among cultivators. If you randomly pick anyone out on the bustling streets, they will not be lower than the fighting master level. Even the strongest fighting spirits are only As a caretaker of the home.
"The feeling of freedom..."
Walking on the slightly crowded street, Zhai Shuo took a deep breath of the air outside and groaned.
Anyone who has been locked up in one place for ten years will probably be unable to help but fantasize about the outside world.
What's more, he, Zhai Shuo, is a time traveler and a godly figure who has read that novel well. How could he not be curious about this Douqi Continent?
Only when he gains the right to control his own time can he properly explore this unknown world.
Moreover, his nature was not that of a well-behaved and peaceful boy, but in front of that stern sister, he had no choice but to put away all his arrogance.
He is a short-tongued person. He is not an ungrateful person. He is really afraid of seeing the disappointed look in Lin Yi's eyes.
So for the past ten years, he has been practicing desperately, not only for himself, but also for the answer sheet given to Lin Yi...
Fortunately, after ten years of hard training, he was recognized by Lin Yi. Under Lin Yi's strict requirements, he was able to build himself into a copper wall and an iron wall, almost reaching the legendary level of invincibility. level.
Of course, having said that, he definitely did not mean to blame Lin Yi at all, because no matter from which aspect, that mysterious woman was doing it for his own good...
Although he didn't know what her purpose was, he had to endure the pain of temporarily losing his freedom to eat this kind of soft food that was delivered to his door.
"For the time being, let's follow my sister's arrangements. The strength of the one-star fighting master is still too weak..." Zhai Shuo muttered as he walked.
He now needs to find a way to figure out where his timeline has progressed...
However, before that, he still had a very serious problem to solve...
…
Two days later, Zhai Shuo stood in front of a pavilion called Wanyaofang. He stared at the two burly men at the entrance and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.
Because these two big men both have fighting spirit level strength...
It truly is an industry owned by a first-class family...
As for why Zhai Shuo can see through the fighting spirit strength of those who are higher than himself at a glance, this is mainly related to soul power.
In this era where souls are not majored in, the strength of a person's soul power is basically linked to the level of fighting spirit, unless he is an alchemist.
Otherwise, his soul power can only increase slowly as the level of fighting spirit increases.
Therefore, with Zhai Shuo's soul that suddenly became abnormal for some reason, he could naturally sense the strength of the other party's soul at a glance.
It was obvious that the soul power of the two gatekeepers was much higher than that of Meng Kuo, and they had naturally reached the level of fighting spirits.
So this can also explain why Meng Kuo couldn't hide his strength in front of him before, because he couldn't hide his soul...
However, although he could easily defeat Meng Kuo, a nine-star fighting master, he could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness when facing such a powerful fighting spirit.
This gap between realms is really suffocating, and it is impossible to defeat it without some overly perverted means.
Fortunately, he has now reached the level of a great fighting master. Otherwise, with that level of fighting master, it would be difficult to even get out of this oasis...
The main reason why he came to Wanyaofang was because he had been wandering around for nearly two days since he left the Lin family. Since he was unfamiliar with the place, he had no choice but to find a map store nearby and planned to buy a few maps for backup. After he made his choice, he suddenly realized that he had no money at all!
For the past ten years, he has been cultivating quietly in the depths of the Lin family. He has never been exposed to those yellow and white things, and has never been used. Anyway, whatever he lacks, Lin Yi will give him what he needs, and he does not need to worry about it at all. .
So at that time, he could only shamelessly ask the shopkeeper if he could pay on credit, but as expected, he was kicked out by the shopkeeper as a child.
All he has now, apart from a few pieces of clothing, is only an intermediate-level Najie. The Najia also contains four volumes of advanced Xuan-level exercises and fighting skills he has practiced, as well as a strange medicine statue. The tripod and a fourth-grade elixir that was just released in the past few days.
Finally, in the corner of Najie, there was an ice scroll lying quietly.
Apart from that, there is nothing else, but he is really penniless, but since he has temporarily put aside the relationship with the Lin family, everything has to be self-reliant.
It can't be said that he would be so bold as to smash out the fourth-grade elixir after buying a few maps...
Fortunately, he has another identity, a fifth-grade alchemist!
In this Huansha City, a fifth-grade alchemist can enjoy more food than an ordinary Douhuang expert.
In fact, alchemist is an extremely rare and noble profession in any corner of Dou Qi Continent.
It's a pity that he is now at the end of his rope, alone, and has no choice but to do art to survive.
And when the time comes, he will have to leave the oasis and head north. The journey is difficult and dangerous. He must prepare some healing or fighting spirit elixirs to deal with emergencies.
"Sure enough, if you don't become a family member, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are..."
After shrugging, Zhai Shuo walked towards the pavilion in front of him.
Although he is now on the verge of bankruptcy, he can experience the pleasure of starting from scratch...
Since Zhai Shuo came out yesterday, in addition to changing his appearance, he also put on an inconspicuous gray gown, making him look unremarkable when walking on the road.
Who would have thought that this fifteen-year-old kid would already be a fifth-grade alchemist...
When the two big men saw him approaching, they only glanced at him and had no intention of paying attention to him.
A one-star fighting master can't make any trouble no matter what, and their Wan Yao Fang does not restrict children from entering.
Because they couldn't tell which of the minors they stopped was the handsome young master from a first-class family...
"Are you looking for an alchemist here?"
Although the other party did not intend to pay attention to him, Zhai Shuo still had business to attend to, so he took a few steps forward and asked politely.
Hearing this, the two big men were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and one of them sneered:
"Young man, if you go in to buy medicinal materials, we won't stop you, but if you want to cause trouble, I don't mind whipping your butt into three parts, and then notify your tribe to take you back."
Obviously, they didn't think that Zhai Shuo would be an alchemist, because he didn't look like an alchemist at all.
Wearing a gray gown, if it weren't for his handsome face, they would have doubted whether he was here to beg for food.
After all, those alchemists are all dressed in gorgeous alchemy robes, with a badge on their chest that symbolizes the level of alchemy...
In response to this, Zhai Shuo shook his head as expected, and did not talk nonsense to them. He stretched out one hand, and with a pop, a pure blue flame ignited in the extremely surprised eyes of the two guards!
"Substantial flame!"
"And it's not just an ordinary fighting spirit flame..."
The moment Zhai Shuo's sixth-level beast fire started to burn, the two guards lost their voices in an instant, their expressions became much more solemn, and a kind of flattery immediately appeared in their eyes, no longer showing the arrogance and domineering look before.
Substantial flames are something that can only be summoned by a strong Dou Wang master or an alchemist. The Zhai Shuo in front of them is obviously only a one-star great Dou Master, so his identity is already obvious.
The flames with other colors can show that his level of refining medicine is not low...
Because ordinary low-level alchemists simply don't have the strength to find these special flames, let alone refine them for their own use.
Facing an alchemist who may have reached the fourth level, how dare they ignore a mere fighting spirit?
"Hey, I want to ask you something..."
Putting away the flame in his hand, Zhai Shuo impatiently waved his hand at the two big men in front of him, waking them up from their dazed state.
"Hi! Hiu, hi! Young Master, no, Master, please come inside, please come inside! Haha..."
Hearing this, the two big men immediately came to their senses, bent down, nodded and bowed to welcome Zhai Shuo in...
After approaching the pharmacy, a strong medicinal fragrance hit his face, making Zhai Shuo sneeze several times.
"Master, please wait a moment. The person in charge will be here soon!" One of the big men took Zhai Shuo to a resting place and hurried upstairs.
Taking advantage of his free time, Zhai Shuo also casually looked around the interior of Wan Yao Shop. As the largest chain of medicine shops in Huansha City, in just one branch, there are about thousands of different medicinal materials neatly placed in various places. on the shelf.
Moreover, this is only the first floor.
"As the basic materials for refining medicine, these things are also very profitable. No wonder the Yao family can be so fat..."
While Zhai Shuo was muttering in his mind, an old man in white who looked flattered ran down the stairs, still mumbling something eagerly.
"Where is it? Where is the alchemy master?"
"Chief Yao, this is the master of alchemy." The big man from before respectfully led Chief Yao to Zhai Shuo, smiling, quite suspicious of asking for credit.
"Um?"
Sure enough, when he saw Zhai Shuo for the first time, Director Yao still doubted his strength.
How high can the level of medicine refining be at this age?
"I, Yao Wen, am the manager of this branch. I wonder if this master..." Manager Yao took two steps forward and greeted with a smile.
"Junior Xiao Shuo, I have met Chief Yao." Due to his personality, Zhai Shuo could not say that on the first day of work, he would look down on his boss for the next few days, so he stood up politely, cupped his hands and smiled.
As for lying about one’s name, isn’t that perfectly normal?
"Master Xiao, right? Haha, I wonder what master's plan is for coming to my Wanyao Workshop today?" Seeing Zhai Shuo's politeness and confidence, Chief Yao also spoke more attentively and asked with a smile.
"Are you recruiting alchemists here?" Zhai Shuo asked straight to the point. He didn't have so much time to play tricks with this old man here.
Now, he just wants to get a start-up capital!
"Recruiting, that's for sure. Alchemist. Who doesn't care about it? I just don't know how many levels Master Xiao has reached as an alchemist?"
After asking about the purpose, Director Yao became more enthusiastic. If he could tie an alchemist to his place, it would be equivalent to a mountain of gold and silver that could never be spent...
Of course, he was also very concerned about the level of refining medicine.
"Fifth grade."
Zhai Shuo replied without thinking. Although he had not refined the fifth-grade elixir, his intuition told him that he had the strength.
And at this time, there is no need to hide it. Reporting this gimmick directly can also better seek more benefits for yourself who is currently in financial difficulty...
"Fifth rank...oh fifth rank...what?"
Chief Yao was stunned, and for a time he wondered if it was his imagination. The janitor who had not left was also staring at Zhai Shuo's green face in extreme shock, as if he was looking at a monster.
"Fifth-grade alchemist...little brother, are you serious about what you said?" Chief Yao's mouth twitched. When he spoke, his withered hands couldn't stop trembling. It turned out that he couldn't describe it in too many words. His mood at the moment.
You know, in this huge desert oasis, among thousands of families, there are only two seventh-grade alchemists. One of them is worshiped in the city lord's palace, and the other is hidden in the world.
Therefore, this sixth-grade level is basically the highest level they can see, and those unruly masters are like supreme emperors, and they are not something that lower-class people like them can afford to please...
It's no wonder that Yao and the other two behaved like this after hearing Zhai Shuo's self-reported alchemy level, because fifth-level alchemists were the ones that his small branch couldn't afford to offend.
And when this level appears in such a young boy, it's easy to feel like he's sleepwalking.
Now Chief Yao is staring at Zhai Shuo with a fiery gaze. He is also thinking about a question: Have all fifth-grade alchemists gotten to this point?
