Chapter 140 Immortal Essence Stone and Earth Alchemist
After hearing Mu Xue's words, Han Li didn't say much, and directly led her to fly towards the door opening.
There was also a long queue at the city gate for foreign monks to enter the city. Several monks in black robes guarded the gate and charged everyone who entered the city to enter the city.
Although these people look exactly like monks, they are not human beings, but Taoist soldiers of Earth Immortals.
There are several rows of large characters engraved on the side of the city gate, but it is the entrance fee that people of different cultivation levels need to pay to enter the city, but it is only collected for the refining period, and it does not say how many spirit stones need to be paid for the cultivation level above the body.
"Why do you only write about cultivators at the Void Refining Stage? Doesn't it mean that you don't need to pay the city entrance fee?" Han Li glanced over those words and asked casually.
"Senior is right, the status of a monk above the integration period is honorable, so naturally he doesn't need to pay any fees to enter the city." Mu Xue replied with a smile.
"I see." Han Li smiled.
Not long after, the two were approaching the gate of the city.
Han Li didn't take out any spirit stones, and just walked towards the city gate with his hands behind his back.
With a flash of inspiration in the hands of the two Taoist soldiers guarding the gate, they swept past Han Li and stood there motionless.
A trace of surprise appeared on Mu Xue's face, but she immediately took out two low-grade spirit stones, handed them to a Taoist soldier, and hurriedly followed, but her expression became more and more respectful.
Behind the city gate is a wide street, seven or eight feet wide, paved with sapphire, clean and tidy.
The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians, monks with mana can be seen everywhere, even high-level monks are not a few.
There are rows of spacious and bright shops on both sides of the street. There is no sense of mess. They basically sell various materials for cultivating immortals, and they are all good boutiques.
There is no strict no-flying ban in the city, as long as you don't fly too high, no one will take care of it.
Han Li flew up to mid-air and looked around.
Just now, there is nothing to look at from the outside, now entering the city, the bustling streets are one after another, stretching to the end of the field of vision, there are many shops, mixed with immortals, people's voices, and hustle and bustle.
Such a prosperous scene really shocked him.
"I don't know if senior came to Black Wind City this time to buy something or do something else?" Mu Xue came to Han Li's side and asked cautiously.
"I heard that the teleportation array going beyond the Black Wind Sea Region is in this Black Wind City?" Han Li turned to look at Mu Xue, and asked seemingly casually.
"Yes. The teleportation array is at the Star Tower in the center of the city. Senior... do you want to leave the Black Wind Sea?" Mu Xue hesitated and asked.
Han Li didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
"This...Senior, it's not the junior who poured cold water on you. Every year, many people come to Black Wind City and want to leave the Black Wind Sea, but basically no one succeeds. If you want to take that teleportation array to go outside, in fact... ...very difficult." Mu Xue smiled wryly, and said somewhat hesitantly.
"Oh, how difficult is it?" Han Li asked without changing his expression.
"The large teleportation array connected to the outside is an ancient teleportation array. It is controlled by the island owner. It is opened once every hundred years. The number of places for each transmission is limited, so the island owner must designate it. In other words, if you want to go out, you must first take There is a quota, and there is also a fee, which is extremely expensive, and even those immortals, few can afford it." Mu Xue said eloquently.
"Do you know when it will be activated next time?" Han Li frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"It shouldn't be long. Every time the grand formation is opened, it is after the same once-in-a-century auction. Now that the auction is approaching, the city will be more lively than usual." Mu Xue replied.
"Oh, how can I get the island owner's quota?" Han Li asked again, feeling a little relieved.
"This... this matter is quite secretive, and the villain's cultivation base is too low, so I don't know very well..." Mu Xue's face froze, she scratched her head and said.
"You just said that you need an expensive fee, how many spirit stones do you need?" Han Li didn't blame Mu Xue, but asked another question.
"The fee that the island owner asks for is not spirit stones, but immortal essence stones, and there are as many as five of them." Mu Xue shook her head and said.
"Immortal Essence Stone? What is that?" Han Li asked as his heart moved.
"Immortal Origin Stone is said to be a special currency among immortals formed by injecting vitality into a special spar." Mu Xue said after thinking about it.
"Is this stone very precious? Since it is currency, as long as there are enough spirit stones, it can still be exchanged for it?" Han Li pondered for a while before continuing to ask. This was the first time he had heard of the term "Xianyuan Stone".
"Xianyuan stone is not an ordinary currency. It is said that those things are very precious to immortals, and they basically don't trade them with others. There is no circulation in the market. The little one has been in Black Wind City for many years. I said that decades ago, the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce in Black Wind City bought an immortal stone from an immortal, and at that time, the Chamber of Commerce sold several shops on the island to make up enough spirit stones." Mu Xue somewhat Said lamentably.
Han Li nodded thoughtfully, becoming interested in this so-called Immortal Essence Stone.
Next, he didn't ask any more questions.
He also never thought that he could leave the Black Wind Sea Territory easily, and he will talk about it later. He is also very curious about the Black Wind City in front of him.
Thinking like this, Han Li headed towards the city.
Mu Xue followed closely behind him, introducing the situation in Black Wind City.
The two walked around for a full half a day before Han Licai stopped, still unsatisfied.
What he heard and saw in this short half day has already opened his eyes.
Especially in the central area of Black Wind City, there are various pill shops, material shops, and magic weapon shops emerging one after another, and Han Li was a little dazzled.
But according to what Mu Xue said, they only visited less than 10% of Black Wind City.
Han Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Black Wind City is indeed the largest city in the Black Wind Sea Region, and it is really not comparable to other places.
He stopped suddenly and looked at a tall shop on the side of the road.
This is a five-storey building with a large entrance, luxurious decoration but not gaudy, but a faint sense of simplicity and atmosphere, but it is a huge elixir shop.
"Senior, this Qianyaozhai can be regarded as the best elixir shop in Heifeng City. It is said that it has some relationship with the owner of Heifeng Island. There are many kinds of precious elixirs in it, and the price is quite reasonable. I have never heard of it. What kind of deceitful deeds." Mu Xue quickly introduced.
Han Li nodded slightly, and walked towards the inside.
There are not many recovery pills on him, and there are even fewer other healing pills, detoxification pills, etc. Next, he has to leave the Black Wind Sea Area and go to the East to find things such as the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. Prepare more in advance.
Mu Xue followed.
There are dozens of large counters one after the other in the store, filled with various pills, and some counters sell various spiritual materials for alchemy.
At the moment, there are quite a lot of customers inside, browsing on the counters one by one.
"You two distinguished guests, welcome to our Qianyao Zhai. May I ask what kind of medicine do you need?" Seeing Han Li and the two coming in, a yellow-clothed attendant immediately greeted them.
Han Li looked around twice, and frowned slightly.
Although the pills at the surrounding counters were all good, they didn't catch his eyes very much.
"Is this the only elixir you have here? Is there a better elixir?" Han Li asked.
Hearing this, the attendant in yellow looked Han Li up and down, as if judging Han Li's worth, and said, "This store is the best pill store in Black Wind City, and there are naturally better pills, but the price ..."
"Presumptuous! You step back, I'll receive this senior." An old man with white eyebrows and yellow robes and a pale face walked over quickly and shouted in a deep voice.
Judging by the clothes on his body, he should be the manager of this shop.
The attendant in yellow felt a thrill in his heart, he bowed obsequiously to Han Li, bowed his head and stepped back.
"The people below are ignorant, please don't blame me, senior." The old man in yellow robe bowed to Han Li with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, where are the better pills here, take me there to have a look." Han Li didn't care, and said.
"Yes, senior and this little brother, please come upstairs." The yellow-robed old man stretched out one hand, and was quite polite to Mu Xue.
Mu Xue hurriedly returned the gift.
"I'm in charge of Lu Ping in Xiaqianyaozhai. I don't know the last name of senior Gao?" The yellow-robed old man asked while going upstairs.
"Willowstone."
"It turned out to be Senior Liu. The first few floors of our Qianyaozhai sell ordinary pills made by human-level alchemists. Naturally, they are not in the eyes of seniors. If seniors come again next time, please go directly to the top floor. The medicines are all from Master Hao, so they must be useful to seniors." Manager Lu said enthusiastically.
In order to deceive others, Han Li restrained his cultivation to the Mahayana stage, and the other party, as an early-stage monk, could roughly sense Han Li's aura.
"Senior, Master Hao is one of the three great alchemists in the Black Wind Sea Region, and his attainments in alchemy are said to have reached the second level of the earth." Mu Xue leaned close to Han Li's ear and explained in a low voice.
While speaking, the three of them had reached the fifth floor.
There is no counter here, only exquisitely carved wooden frames, not many in number, only three, and there are several attendants standing beside them, without a single guest, which looks very clean.
"Our Qianyaozhai has a close relationship with Master Hao. Most of the elixirs refined by his old man are here. There are many types. This counter is for the elixir of advanced cultivation, and here is the recovery elixir. It is a medicinal pill for other purposes such as healing and detoxification." Steward Lu briefly introduced the medicinal pills on the three wooden shelves.
Han Li's eyes lit up when he looked at these pills.
Fortunately, it is the top pill shop in Black Wind City. The pills in front of him are all very good, no worse than the pills he bought in exchange for the Wuchang League, and some of them are obviously better.
Judging from the previous conversations, it seems that only those who can refine elixirs that are useful to advanced true immortals or true immortals can be called earth-level alchemists. Alchemists who refine ordinary monk elixirs should be human-level alchemists , perhaps, this is the difference between alchemists in the fairy world.
As for whether this is the case, it is natural to find an opportunity to find out in the future.
