Shennong Sequence

Chapter 64: The Transaction: Portkey and Thunder's True Intentions

Li Zhiguang pondered in his heart about how he and Zhao Yun had been friends and lived in harmony in the past.

When he came to Zhao Yun's side, Li Zhiguang was the first to speak and greet him:

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few days!"

"That's right. Come on, Brother Li, take a seat first."

When Li Zhiguang sat down, Zhao Yun asked, "Brother Li, I heard that the barbarians in the north want to invade us during the autumn and winter. Do you have any special news?"

Li Zhiguang thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the information I got here is not much different from what you collected. However, before the beginning of autumn, I heard another piece of news."

"Brother Li, please tell us something!" Butcher Liu also joined in the conversation, wanting to hear some special news.

Li Zhiguang said:
"I heard from the caravans trading on both sides that this summer, due to the chaotic weather and the lack of farmer monks to suppress the four seasons of the sky, there was no rain in the entire grassland this summer!"

“So, the grassland is now dry and yellow, and the dust is flying, with no trace for thousands of miles.”

"Then the barbarians have endured hardship until now. At this critical juncture, I'm afraid that food and livestock are extremely scarce. I guess this year's war is inevitable..."

Zhao Yun patted his chest and said, "Those barbarians have nothing good to eat. Every year they come on horseback to plunder my border states. They are so hateful!"

Butcher Liu lowered his voice and said, "Luckily we offended someone and were sent to the logistics department to do some hard labor. Otherwise, if we were to train with the soldiers in front, we might have been dragged to the battlefield... Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise for us!"

Li Zhiguang pointed out with a strange smile, "Logistics also needs to escort food and grass. If there is a shortage of manpower, you, Old Liu, might be pulled over."

"Fuck, no way?" Butcher Liu was suddenly shocked.

"The fight was too brutal, maybe it would happen!"

After Li Zhiguang finished speaking, he ignored Butcher Liu's expression and turned around and quietly said to Zhao Yun:
“As the war intensified, many people took their belongings to the warehouse to replace them with new ones.

I took special care to find a broken bow with some flaws. Brother Zhao, are you still interested?"

Zhao Yun didn't even dare to pull the hunting bow hard in his hand.

I was afraid that if I used a little force, the bowstring would break.

So, he is naturally interested in the strong bow now.

"I'm very interested, but how much money will it cost?"

Li Zhiguang pretended to be unhappy and said:

"How could I take your money, Brother Zhao? I remember that you had a set of military uniforms and a sword. You can return the sword to the warehouse and exchange the 'defective bow that was planned to be scrapped' for it, and the matter will be settled.

Then you can go to the forge and find Gong Shujia's people, and ask them to repair it a little bit, and then you can use it. "

Zhao Yun has no money, but he has already advanced to Sequence 9, a farmer, so he will definitely not be short of money in the future.

So when Li Zhiguang was about to send him a bow and arrow, he became slightly alert, but then relaxed.

"Well, thank you very much for your consideration, Brother Li. But I have nothing. I happened to hunt two pheasants when I went up the mountain this afternoon. I will bring them to you later. You can make some chicken soup or something..."

"Okay, after lunch tomorrow, come find me at the warehouse and I'll exchange it for you."

As Li Zhiguang spoke, he did not refuse the gift from Zhao Yun and directly accepted the pheasant.

Only by exchanging courtesies can the relationship become closer.

After dinner, Zhao Yun brought two pheasants to Li Zhiguang.

When he returned to the horse prison, he saw that Master Sun's room was brightly lit.

Zhao Yun went forward and knocked on the door. When he heard someone calling him from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in. "Master."

"Sit down first."

"Ah~" Zhao Yun responded and sat down next to the wooden chair.

Then, he unceremoniously picked up the tea set, first added some tea to Master Sun's cup, and then poured himself a cup of refreshing tea that could warm the soul.

"You are not shy, kid. I have three things to discuss with you."

"Master, please tell me."

“First, I originally asked Lord Li Sinong to get you a mid-grade Daotong Pill, but later you accidentally found the sneaky lair, and Li Sinong gave you a high-grade Daotong Pill.

Moreover, you also got a top-grade Daoist Pill from the four-tailed celestial fox.

Therefore, this top-grade Daotong Pill still belongs to you, but I begged for the middle-grade Daotong Pill at my own expense, so I won’t give it to you.”

Old Man Sun took out a box containing top-grade Daotong Pills and placed it on the table, but did not hand it directly to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took a look but did not reach out to take it.

Old Man Sun continued:

“When you entered the rank, you already took the entry-level top-grade Daotong Pill, so this top-grade Daotong Pill is of no use to you.

I have a solution for you, please listen and see if it is feasible. "

Seeing Old Man Sun like this, Zhao Yun followed his meaning and said, "Then Master, if I can get some benefits in return, that would be great."

Old Man Sun continued:
"This top-grade Daotong Pill from our farm is hard to find on the market and can only be obtained from within our farm. Its value is very high.

It just so happened that an old man at the War Elephant Prison had just accepted a new apprentice. After talking to me for a while, he learned that I had top-grade Taoist elixirs, so he came to me for help.

However, I negotiated with him and asked for a door key and a Thunder True Intention for you. What do you think? "

Although Zhao Yun has memories of his past life, the way of cultivation and practice in this life is completely different, so he still has only a vague understanding of many key terms.

Take this key for example; he was completely confused just by hearing the name.

It can't be a portal that opens the starry sky, right?

If this is true, then the value of the top-grade Daoist elixir used to enter the rank is probably less than that of the door key that has the power of teleportation.

As for the real intention of thunder, Zhao Yun could guess it a little.

Presumably, it is similar to the true intention of the "Clairvoyant Eye" technique mentioned in the book "Basic Horse Training".

"Master, I don't know much about this knowledge. How about you tell me what are the unique features of these two benefits?"

Old Man Sun stroked his beard and pointed to the secret door on the wall:
"This door key, as you can see, when you turn the key at a certain place, a door will appear at the corresponding place."

"The space behind the door is the mysterious realm controlled by this key. It can not only accommodate everything, but also raise pets, grow plants, and so on."

"This door key is considered a space-related treasure. Its value alone is enough to exchange for an entry-level top-grade Daotong Pill."

"However, now that a war is about to break out on the border, the value of items related to cultivation has risen sharply. I deliberately killed that old man and asked for this Thunder Intention for you..."

After listening to this, Zhao Yun understood that old man Sun had indeed gained something good for him this time.

In the afternoon, he was still thinking about the five spiritual plants in his own field. If war broke out and he was transferred to a distant place, how would he move them?
