Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 144 Dongling Market, Master Jiang [Subscribe]

The Wang family has been cultivating magical herbs for Qinglian Temple for generations, and the family is famous for planting and cultivating various magical herbs.

Therefore, many alchemists and forces that excel in the art of making elixirs will maintain good cooperative relations with them.

Naturally, through this network of relationships, they could easily learn about various elixirs and know where certain elixirs would be sold.

The Wang family obtained the news about the Meridian Protecting Pill from an alchemist.

It is said that the alchemist's master was entrusted by a high-level cultivator to refine a furnace of Meridian Protecting Pills, and charged one Meridian Protecting Pill as the fee according to the rules of alchemy.

Although the Pulse Protecting Pill is precious, it is not very widely used and is not as useful as the Pulse Nourishing Pill.

Therefore, the alchemist's master might have the idea of ​​selling the Meridian Protecting Pill in his hand.

Of course, the Wang family only passed this news to the Zhou family.

Whether Zhou Chun can buy the Meridian Protecting Pill from the alchemy master depends on his own ability.

Since this was a matter concerning his own path, after Zhou Chun learned the news, he immediately explained it to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

"I know about this matter, so let the Third Elder accompany you!"

Zhou Daoyi pondered for a moment, then nodded to Zhou Chun and made arrangements.

So after the two completed the handover, Zhou Chun left Jiufeng Ridge with Zhou Daoquan, who had broken through to the late stage of foundation building.

After the two of them left the mountain gate, Zhou Daoquan stretched out his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and released his own second-level medium-grade demon beast, Zhu Yanhe spirit pet.

Then he stepped onto the crane's back, waved at Zhou Chun and said, "Come on up, this old man's Red Flame Crane is more than enough to carry two people."

"Then I won't be polite to the elders."

Zhou Chun bowed and jumped onto the crane's back.

After the two of them stood firmly, the Red Flame Crane raised its head and let out a cry, then flapped its wings and flew up into the sky. In a short while, it flew thousands of feet into the sky.

At this time, Zhou Chun was already a foundation-building cultivator.

Even at such a high altitude, he and Zhou Daoquan used their magic power to form a magic shield, which easily blocked the cold wind from the altitude.

Compared with the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, this kind of mana consumption is extremely weak, and it will not consume much mana even if it lasts for a day.

Their destination was not Lanzhou, but Lingzhou, which Zhou Chun had never been to.

After taking off, Zhou Daoquan pointed out the flight direction to Zhu Yanhe and let him go on his own.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Speaking of which, now that you have successfully established your foundation, what are your plans for that silver lightning python? When can you advance it to the second level?"

"This matter is also worrying me!"

Zhou Chun's face flashed with worry, and he said helplessly: "The [Beast Spirit Pill] refined by the family is no longer of any use to its current growth. If you want it to accumulate strength to break through the second level, it must take a higher level [Demon Spirit Pill]."

"But the Demon Spirit Pills that the Great Elder had refined were all used up by the clan leader, and now no one in the clan can refine the Demon Spirit Pills!"

There is a huge difference between the elixirs taken by monsters and those taken by cultivators.

The vast majority of elixirs taken by cultivators to improve their cultivation have very little effect on monsters.

Therefore, only by taking some elixirs specially made for monsters can their growth be accelerated.

The Zhou family's elixir [Demon Spirit Pill] is suitable for second-level monsters to take. It is also the Zhou family's secret elixir. Only alchemists with superb alchemy skills can refine it.

But now, none of the Zhou family's alchemists can refine this kind of elixir.

As a result, the family now has only the recipes and materials for making pills, but no pills to use!
"Without the [Demon Spirit Pill], it would be difficult to advance it quickly."

Zhou Daoquan also frowned, and he had no idea what to do about it.

At the moment, I could only say: "If it really doesn't work, you can also buy some more spiritual medicines such as the hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng for it to take. These spiritual medicines can be taken directly by monster beasts, and the effect is also good."

"That's what I think, too."

Zhou Chun nodded, agreeing with his suggestion.

Zhu Yanhe's flying speed is not slower than that of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but after all, he relies on physical strength to fly, and he has to carry two human cultivators on his back.

So after flying for more than two hours, it needs to rest for half a day to recover.

Of course, if it uses magic power to fly, it can fly for a longer time.

But Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan were not in such a hurry, so there was naturally no need to ask them to do so.

So almost two days later, the two of them arrived at the place where the alchemy master who possessed the Meridian Protecting Pill was.

The master alchemist was a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage. He lived in the Dongling Market in Lingzhou and opened an alchemy shop there.

After Zhou Chun and his companion entered Dongling Market, they found the pharmacy opened by the other party without much effort.

This pharmacy is actually not very big, not even as big as the Lingshouzhai opened by the Zhou family in Hongyafang City.

After Zhou Chun and the others entered, they saw a middle-aged shopkeeper with the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage reading a book behind the counter.

Hearing the noise at this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly looked at the visitor.

When the shopkeeper found out that the visitors were actually two foundation-building monks, he was also surprised and hurriedly put down the book in his hand to greet them.

Zhou Chun spoke up first, "You're welcome, fellow Daoist. We've come here specially to visit Master Jiang. Please pass the message on for us."

Hearing his words, the shopkeeper immediately smiled bitterly and said, "This is unfortunate. Master Jiang just announced that he would be in seclusion the day before yesterday to refine a furnace of elixirs. I'm afraid he can't receive the two seniors at this time!"

Retreat to make elixirs?
Zhou Chun was slightly stunned, then frowned and asked, "Then I wonder how long Master Jiang will be in seclusion this time?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before answering, "Based on Master Jiang's past experience, if he didn't specify in advance how long he would need to be in seclusion, he would usually come out within half a month."

"I see. Zhou understands."

Zhou Chun nodded, and began to communicate secretly with Zhou Daoquan beside him.

After communicating like this, he said to the shopkeeper, "Then please do me a small favor. After Master Jiang comes out of retreat, please ask him not to leave. The two of us will come here every day for the next half month."

"Yes, I will definitely pass on your message!"

The shopkeeper responded and watched Zhou Chun and the other two leave.

After leaving the pharmacy, Zhou Chun and the other person also strolled around the market.

This Lingzhou and Dongling Market were the first time for Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan.

Compared with the Hongya Market in Lanzhou, this place seems a bit small. This is because Dongling Market is not under the jurisdiction of Qinglian Temple, but the property of Xuanzhu Palace, a sect of immortal cultivation in Lingzhou.

Although there is no Yuanying stage cultivator in Xuanzhu Palace now, it has produced Yuanying stage cultivators in the past, and has a good relationship with the Yuelun Sect, the largest sect in Jingguo.

Therefore, Qinglian Temple could only continue to govern the Dongling Market.

Although the market is small, the things inside Dongling Market are quite good.

After visiting some shops, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan discovered that there were some special items here that were not available in Hongyafang Market.

For example, in the shop "Zhu Yu Pavilion" opened by Xuanzhu Palace, there are many precious beads, jade pendants and magical instruments for sale. Magic instruments like the [Mingxia Pei] owned by Zhou Chun can only be said to be ordinary among them.

Even after seeing these two Foundation Establishment cultivators, the shop owner recommended to them a second-tier magical weapon that served as the store's treasure.

But Zhou Chun and the other person had enough magical weapons, so naturally they didn't waste spirit coins to buy them.

"Every place has its own specialty. The reason why Xuanzhu Palace has developed so many kinds of jade beads and jade pendants is because there is a spiritual jade vein near the mountain gate."

"It's a pity that the current situation is unclear, otherwise I should be traveling to various places to experience the customs and practices of the various immortal cultivation communities and look for my own Purple Mansion opportunity!"

After coming out of the "Pearl and Jade Pavilion", Zhou Daoquan thought of what he had seen and heard inside, and couldn't help but express his feelings. He spoke aloud about his future plans.

He knew that the Zhou family would definitely give priority to supporting the clan leader Zhou Daoyi in opening up the Purple Mansion, and he had no objection to this.

Therefore, if he wanted to break through to the Purple Mansion, he could only travel around and look for opportunities.

This is also what many family cultivators and even sect cultivators who have reached his level do.

After all, the resources of families and sects are limited, so they must give priority to supporting more valuable people.

As for those with lesser values, if they do not want their journey to end here, they can only look for opportunities on their own.

After hearing his sigh, Zhou Chun's expression slightly changed. After thinking for a while, he said, "If the elder wants to go on a long journey, he shouldn't have to wait too long. It should be enough to wait for the clan leader to break through to the late stage of foundation building."

"I hope so!"

Zhou Daoquan nodded, but didn't say anything more about it.

After the two of them walked around the market, they stayed temporarily in an inn in the market.

In the following time, Zhou Chun would go to the pharmacy every day to see if Master Jiang had returned.

When I come back, I will go to the street market in the market to see if I can find anything.

On the ninth day, when Zhou Chun went to the pharmacy again, the shopkeeper finally told him that Master Jiang had returned and learned about their visit.

So after the shopkeeper informed them, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan, who rushed over after hearing the news, soon met Master Jiang in the backyard of the pharmacy.

This alchemy master looked quite old. Judging from his white hair, he was probably over two hundred years old.

But his face was quite rosy, he looked in good spirits, and his eyes were bright.

At this time, the two sides met and after some polite greetings, Master Jiang looked at Zhou Chun and the others with curiosity and asked, "You two Taoist friends look very unfamiliar. Where are you from? Why do you want to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately answered truthfully, "I dare not deceive you, Master. We are from Lanzhou. We heard that you have the Pulse Protection Pill for sale, so we came to visit you and want to buy it."

Hearing this, Master Jiang's expression changed slightly, and then he whispered, "Oh, where did you hear that Jiang has the Pulse Protection Pill?"

"Well... Master, please forgive me. This matter involves other people's privacy, so we can't say more."

Zhou Chun shook his head and still did not reveal the existence of the Wang family.

Although the Wang family did not ask him to keep it a secret, helping to keep such matters secret was an unspoken rule in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, from Master Jiang's perspective, he obviously doesn't want his every move to be known to outsiders.

If the existence of the Wang family is exposed, it will inevitably lead to their anger towards others.

However, after hearing his answer, Master Jiang showed obvious displeasure on his face, and immediately said: "Since it is inconvenient to say more, forget it."

After saying that, he picked up the tea and took a sip, then continued, "But I'm sorry to disappoint you, I have another use for the meridian protection pill, so I'm not going to sell it."

This act of serving tea to see off the guests left Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan speechless.

Obviously, this was revenge for him concealing the source of the information.

But the Meridian Protecting Pill is of great significance to Zhou Chun, and he cannot give it up easily.

At that moment, he could only say: "Master Jiang, don't you want to hear my conditions? I sincerely want to exchange the Pulse Protection Pill with you!"

"If you are really sincere, you wouldn't be unwilling to even tell me where you heard the news."

Master Jiang's eyebrows twitched and he replied coldly.

Seeing that he was sending the guest away because of this matter, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh: "Master, why do you have to do this! Knowing this matter will only add more troubles to yourself. It's better not to know it!"

Master Jiang said coldly without changing his expression: "I would rather have one more worry than be betrayed and lose my life one day!"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was speechless for a moment.

"The Wang family of Hongyao Valley, the news was given to Zhou by the Wang family!"

In the end, he was forced to whisper the source of the information.

"The Wang family of Hongyao Valley?"

Master Jiang's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he looked thoughtful.

Then he nodded slightly to Zhou Chun and said, "Tell me, what have you prepared to exchange for the Vein Protection Pill with me? This item is as precious as a second-level magic weapon, and I have no shortage of magic weapons and spirit coins. If you can't come up with something that impresses me, forget about it."

"Yes, I understand that an alchemy master like Master Jiang will definitely not be short of such things, so I specially prepared some things that the master should be able to use."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out jade boxes from his storage bag and opened them.

The things in these jade boxes are all materials for alchemy, including the hearts of wolf bear monsters, red vine heart fruits and other items he brought out when he participated in the "Heavenly Spirit Trial".

Many of these materials had originally been donated to the family, but were now temporarily brought here by him.

Master Jiang was naturally a man who knew what was good. After examining these alchemy materials, although he was somewhat tempted, he still shook his head and said, "These spiritual medicines are rare in the outside world, but they are not enough to exchange for spiritual medicines like the Vein Protection Pill."

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, he immediately said, "How about adding one or two ounces of the scented incense produced by the musk deer?"

As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle and uncorked it.

Suddenly, the room was filled with fragrance.
