Mu Liang City, Qingyun Medicine Pavilion
"Haha... It seems that I am overthinking it. I'm sorry, Master. I will go get the medicinal materials you need for you right away..."
At the counter, the shopkeeper in white clothes and gold was not angry at Qiye's ungrateful answer. He joked awkwardly a few times and eased the atmosphere.
Then he walked into the rows of medicine cabinets at the back, and after some picking and picking, he quickly prepared all the medicinal materials needed for Qiye.
"Sir, all the medicinal materials you need are here. Can you see if there are any problems?" The old man spread out the medicinal materials and placed them neatly in front of the counter, signaling Qiye to inspect the goods.
He also wanted to see if this short young man knew anything about the goods.
Qiye approached the eyebrow-high counter and stood on tiptoe to take a closer look at the medicinal materials. He picked up one of the plants, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
Although the medicinal materials have dried up, the appearance is exactly the same as the simple sketch in "The Book of Ten Thousand Poison Ghosts" in my mind. And the medicinal smell is very strong, similar to the description in the book.
"Well, the quality is right! How much does it cost?"
Knowing that Shopkeeper Jin intended to test himself, Qiye also knew that his discernment was still poor. Although it was generally confirmed, he still pretended to be confident and confident and asked for the price.
"Ten spirit stones..." Shopkeeper Jin said slowly.
"Ten spiritual stones!? Just these few?" Qiye repeated in disbelief, just a few ordinary medicinal herbs.
Even though I have never had any experience in purchasing medicinal materials, the ordinary medicinal materials that I have devoured in my memory are only a few silver coins.
But now he is actually asking for a price for the spirit stone. Is Yaogei bullying his youth and ignorance?
"Yes, these medicinal herbs are not ordinary herbs, but elixirs. And the poisonous elixirs are much more expensive than the healing elixirs..." Shopkeeper Jin looked at Qiye's questioning eyes and explained in detail.
"Forget it, just ten." Seeing that the old man seemed to want to continue talking, Qiye quickly waved his hand to stop. Anyway, I don't lack these spiritual stones, so I'd better take the medicine and leave as soon as possible.
He took out ten spirit stones from the talisman bag on his waist and placed them on the counter. He put away a few medicinal plants and was about to turn around and retreat.
"Hold on, young master, please stay!" Shopkeeper Jin suddenly said again.
"What? Is there anything else?" Qiye turned around and asked in confusion.
"I just have something unclear. The medicinal plant that the young master bought is relatively unpopular among the poisonous elixirs and is generally not known to ordinary people. I wonder where the young master learned about these medicines?" Shopkeeper Jin He asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I thought of it here!" Qiye pointed to his head, left behind a brief sentence.
"Haha... What a strange little guy!" Shopkeeper Jin looked at his leaving figure, gently stroking his long beard and smiled faintly.
"Oh, why does Mr. Jin think so?" The receptionist woman who had been standing by the counter asked in confusion.
"The few medicinal plants the little guy bought are relatively unorthodox poisons, but they are not too toxic to cause death. They are rarely used by people nowadays. I don't know what the little guy is buying these low-potency poisons for. ?" Shopkeeper Jin explained in detail.
"Oh, that's it..." The receptionist suddenly understood after listening to the old man's explanation.
On the other side, Qiye took the medicinal materials and went to the alley of the previous bookstore, but no matter how he searched, there was no 'Huangliang Bookstore' in that deep alley.
"It's really strange. It's obviously here, so how come it's not here? Could it be that they moved away?" Standing in the closed and silent alley, Qiye said in confusion, sighing secretly in his heart: What a pity.
After searching to no avail, he went straight back to the inn, closed the door, and hit the seal with a burst of spiritual power. Then he took out a few medicinal plants he bought and spread them on the table.
At this moment, what Qiye wants to do is to prepare a poison so that he can sneak into the Iron Wolf Escort's escort convoy in a few days to prepare himself.
Based on his knowledge of poison ratios in "The Book of Ten Thousand Poison Ghosts", Qiye has repeatedly performed countless poison ratios in his mind.
In the end, I chose a poison with a long incubation period, slightly low toxicity, common detoxifying pills that were ineffective, and unsophisticated detoxification methods.
Because there was no such poison before and it was purely an experimental creation by himself, Qiye gave it a nice name, "Ecstasy Powder".
The inspiration for making this poison came from my own experience when a horse was poisoned by a waiter at a tea shop:
After the horse was poisoned, after running for a long time, the poison slowly penetrated and finally fell to the ground. He was also followed all the way by horse thieves, and his life was in danger.
At that time, I knew nothing about the dangers of the outside world. He simply had extraordinary strength, otherwise he would have been dead before he even left Hanling City.
Thinking of this, Qiye couldn't help but think of the master who helped him change everything: Hunyuan Taizu.
After a long period of reminiscing, Qiye sighed, regained his gloomy heart, and started to work on the matter in front of him.
Jiechuanzi, Centipede Vine, Jiujinxiang, Wugencao, Xiaomiye, Kuxianghua, Catharanthus roseus, these are several poisonous medicinal materials, each of which has a different toxicity focus.
Jiechuanzi has the effect of temporarily inhibiting the onset of toxicity and can be dormant for 6 to 12 hours.
Centipede Vine has the effect of inhibiting nerve reactions. In addition, Centipede Vine has the effect of slowing down the heartbeat and even causing temporary coma.
If it is combined with Nine Gold Incense, it can not only retain the neurotoxin of centipede vine, but also neutralize the slowed heartbeat, preventing the poison from being too toxic and slowly passing out.
Secondly, the two ratios of Wugencao and Xiaomiye can resist the penetration of ordinary detoxifying pills and disrupt the detection of spiritual power.
Finally, balsam flowers and periwinkles can completely eliminate the smell of poison and make it undetectable. Make the poison colorless and odorless, so that successful poisoning becomes easier.
Qiye carefully summarized the characteristics of these medicinal materials in his mind, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he decided to try boldly.
When everything is ready, he will use his spiritual power to finely crush and grind the medicinal materials. Finally, according to the proportions that have been carefully calculated, it is mixed into a white, phosphorus-like, colorless and odorless medicinal powder.
The process does not seem complicated, but to prepare a successful poison from countless toxic medicinal materials, it is impossible to succeed without profound and rich knowledge and a lot of experimental experience.
"Hmm, Ecstasy Powder, not bad, not bad..." Qiye clapped his hands gently, looked at a handful of white powder on the table, and praised repeatedly.
Then he took out a white medicine bottle and put the medicine powder into the bottle. Although he has not put it into experiment yet, he is confident in the effect of this ecstasy powder.
Putting away the medicine bottle, Qiye sank into his soul consciousness again, and continued to comprehend the knowledge from the four ancient books he had absorbed in the past two days. In this way, after twenty days of understanding and interpretation in Hunyuan Lian, I have achieved some success in understanding the knowledge recorded in the four ancient books.
Due to the double timeline of Hunyuan Refining Realm, ten days have passed in the outside world.
On the night of the tenth day, Qiye woke up from his soul consciousness. Put on black clothes and cover your face with a black cloth. He slipped out of the back window of the inn without anyone noticing. On the roof of the blue-tiled house, a few people rose and fell lightly, and then they came to the outside of the tall courtyard wall of the Iron Wolf Escort Agency.
In the dark corner, Qiye exuded a faint sense of consciousness and could clearly see the location of all the buildings within the courtyard wall and the location of the guards.
After devouring vast amounts of knowledge from ancient books, his soul power has reached an astonishing 13,000 points.
This number is 13 times that of the first level of the ordinary war level. Therefore, Qiye only needs a subtle penetration of his spiritual consciousness to understand everything within a radius of 100 meters.
And his spiritual stars have also recovered to 31,000. Although he is only at the 'First Level of Early War Level', his real combat power can match that of the 'Ninth Level of Late War Level'.
Coupled with the concealment of Hunyuan Refining Realm, it is naturally easy to sneak into people's homes.
"Found it." Qiye said with joy as soon as his spiritual consciousness was collected.
Then he jumped easily into the inner wall. Entering the courtyard, Qiye moved his shadow steps, taking advantage of the night, moving towards the target direction silently like a breeze. Now, his shadow step training has reached the second level: Chasing the Wind, a minor achievement state.
Even if a spiritual cultivator within the war level pursues him with all his strength, he cannot catch up with him. Even if an early Tomahawk-level warrior could catch up, it would be very difficult to capture him.
These are all the things he relies on to dare to sneak in alone.
In the dark and quiet night, seven nights flashed by like ghosts. After a few ups and downs, we arrived at a stable in the backyard, where the entire Iron Wolf Escort Agency kept and transported horses.
Qiye looked at it. I saw seventy or eighty horses tied alone in a stable. These horses had all been washed and cleaned. The fodder in the manger was abundant and fine. It seemed that everything had been specially prepared for the purpose.
"It's you..." Qiye decided in his heart that these horses must have been carefully selected to escort the escort car tomorrow.
So he quietly walked to the stable, took out the medicine bottle in his arms, and poured all the ecstasy into the manger feed. After doing all this, Qiye returned to the original route without stopping for a moment and escaped completely.
It was as if everything had never happened, and even the arrival of Qiye did not disturb the sleeping horses in the stable.
The next day, the morning light wakes up and shines on the earth.
Outside the Iron Wolf Escort Agency, a line of people was ready to go. A rough sweep of about a hundred people took place. Among the crowd, the ten large red wooden treasure chests tied to the cross carriages were particularly eye-catching.
In the square outside the Iron Wolf Escort Bureau, a group of people watching the fun gathered around:
"I guess that box is filled with gold, silver and jewelry!" one person guessed.
"I don't know. Practitioners value your gold and silver. I guess they are all spiritual stones!" Another person also guessed the same.
"How great it would be if I could get so many treasure chests!" Someone else sighed.
"Don't look at your virtues and dare to attract the attention of the Iron Wolf Escort Agency. I heard that there is a late-stage battle ax level spiritual master in this escort team."
"So powerful……"
Amidst the noisy discussion among the crowd, a tall middle-aged man with a strong figure and a resolute face walked out of the Iron Wolf Escort Agency.
After taking a look at the escort team that was ready to go, he nodded to a woman in the front of the team, then waved his hand and issued a rough and ear-splitting order: Let's go!
The team of escort vehicles set off from the square and headed outside Muliang City...
Beside the square, in the Fulai Inn, Qiye stood in front of the side window and watched the scene quietly, with a smile in his eyes that the plan went well.
After cleaning up the room carefully and leaving no suspicious traces, he put on a dusty linen clothes and left quietly.
According to the estimated potency ratio, the ecstasy powder he prepared will take effect in twenty-four hours. According to the current speed of the Iron Wolf Escort Agency's escort vehicle, it is estimated that it will be able to travel to "Fengtian Ridge" at dusk.
Qiye rode his horse slowly and took out the map to make careful calculations.
These days, in addition to studying ancient books, he also bought a map with a larger area in the city. On the map, Qiye found the destination he wanted to reach: Baiyan City, the third-class city.
It was a prosperous city with a population of over one million and a city area that was more than ten times the size of Muliang City.
Thinking of the first time I came to Mu Liang City, I felt that this city was so prosperous. What is the scene like in Baiyan City, which is ten times more prosperous than it?
I heard that there is a sect there that can make you stronger.
Thinking of this, Qiye couldn't help but feel his heart surge, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face. The innocent longing of a child was vividly displayed at this moment, making it difficult for Qiye, who was usually calm, to remain calm.
