In the early morning of early summer, mist filled the air. Zhendongfang City in Luoxia Town was already crowded with people coming and going. Both sides of the very clean road were already filled with stalls as the sun rose. The loud shouts came clearly to my ears.
"The crystal core of the second-level monster Wind Wolf only costs fifty gold!"
"Everyone came and took a look. The fur of the golden retriever rabbit is flawless. I bought it and made a pair of gloves for my wife and children. It will keep my hands warm and my heart warm!"
"Barter, three gray rat fangs for a pair of bearskin boots."
The sound was noisy, but Fang Ji, who looked numb, didn't seem to hear it. He just walked stiffly and sluggishly like a marionette. From time to time, a breeze would blow, ruffling a few strands of hair in front of the young man's forehead. A delicate face appeared.
Fang Ruyue, who was walking half a step ahead, was wearing a slightly compact pink dress, which highlighted her growing figure. There was no flaw on her white jade-like face, and people passing by frequently cast their eyes in amazement. , although this kind of gaze is more satisfying to Fang Ruyue's vanity, but the two thin eyebrows above her pair of charming big eyes are lightly frowning at this moment.
If she hadn¡¯t kept her mouth shut six years ago and promised Fang Ji that she could come to her when she was in trouble, she wouldn¡¯t have come to a dirty and messy place like Zhendongfang City.
Although Zhendongfang City is the property of the Fang family, it is run and managed by ordinary members of the Fang family who have no talent for cultivation. Fang Ruyue prides herself on being among the top five in talent and strength among the younger generation of the Fang family. , I would never set foot here on weekdays.
Even if I want to buy something, I go to the nearby Star City to buy it.
Luoxia Town is just a small town, and most of the items here cannot be seen by her.
Speaking of Fang Ji, even if he is a little bit narrow-minded by nature, he still feels a little pity to see Fang Ruyue, who is stronger than himself among his peers. If this was placed six years ago, who would have thought that the number one in Luoxia Town would be The martial arts genius and child prodigy Fang Ji will one day ask for help from others?
???????????? And she doesn¡¯t know how to read or calculate, so she promised Fang Ji that he could come to her if he needed anything in the future, and she would definitely lend a hand to help, so it couldn¡¯t be considered as something wrong.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruyue tilted her head slightly and glanced at her cousin, who deliberately stayed half a step behind even though she was walking side by side. A complicated expression appeared on that pretty and fair face.
I remember that six years ago, I was only nine years old. At that time, I always liked to put on newly tailored clothes, put on two cute little pigtails, dress up beautifully and follow behind him, get close to him and please him. He hopes that when he has some insights along the way of cultivation, he can give him some guidance.
Six years ago, I was just like the little tail of a square halberd.
At that time, Fang Ji had a halo of genius on his head. How dazzling was he in the Fang family?
In the entire Luoxia Town, what a wonderful flying field!
Among the younger generation of the Fang family, no one can be treated as well as Fang Ji. Fang Ji can choose pills, weapons, and exercises at will, but Fang Ji doesn't even bother to pay attention to them. He doesn't like them at all. Every time When he showed an envious look on his face, Fang Ji would sneer, raise his chin proudly, point forward, and say that he belonged to that side of the wider sky!
Fang Ji flew into the air in high spirits, but she didn't notice that his arrogant look made Fang Ruyue secretly feel inferior in her heart. She felt that although the two of them were sitting together, they seemed to be separated by a very long distance and they were not there at all. The same world.
At the same time, Fang Ruyue, who has a strong nature, will be extremely jealous, wishing that she could become Fang Ji and be placed in high hopes by the elders of the clan, so that her cousins ??of the same age would look up to her.
Of course, Fang Ruyue admired Fang Ji more at that time. Every time she looked at Fang Ji's slightly raised side face, little stars of admiration would appear in her eyes.
In the past, every time I encountered difficulties in my cultivation, Fang Ji could point out the mistakes I had made and suggest ways to correct them.
At that time, Fang Ji was like a god in her eyes!
Even when I was only seven years old, I dreamed about him in my dreams. I dreamed about his face that always had a confident smile, and his figure that always remained swaying and lazy while walking. , is so fascinating and intoxicating. When the dream comes to an end, she will become his bride.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruyue's pretty face as white as flawless as white jade couldn't help but blush, but after she came back to her senses, the blush disappeared in an instant.
In the past, he was Tian. Because of his extremely high talent and rapid progress in cultivation, he reached the level of cultivation at the age of nine.If you take one step further with the Xuanqi of the first level, you can step into the realm of a warrior and become a nine-year-old warrior! If successful, it will create a miracle!
Even Fang Ji¡¯s whole family was sent by the direct lineage of the Fang family to take them to Moon Seizing City. The two of them were not from the same world.
Now he is the Earth. Since he went to Capture the Moon City, Fang Ji's cultivation has not advanced but retreated. Until today, six years later, he has become the leading shame and laughing stock of the Fang family. He is also not from the same world as himself. .
Glancing at Fang Ji's numb and decadent figure again, Fang Ruyue withdrew her gaze. Recalling the memories from six years ago that made her much closer to Fang Ji, and then thinking about how this cousin had risen from the altar of a genius boy. The last time I fell, there was no possibility of getting up again, and a trace of sympathy arose in my heart.
Because she was jealous of Fang Ji, Fang Ruyue felt a heartfelt and uncontrollable sense of pleasure and superiority when standing next to this former young genius. However, at this moment, that pleasure was unconsciously felt. It cooled down.
The square halberd, which was like a puppet, seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head slightly. There was no joy or sorrow on his delicate face. He glanced at the girl in pink clothes beside him and saw that she had no expression. When he lowered his head again, her pair of eyes were empty. The dark pupils with a trace of life collapsed and lost focus again, and the whole person looked like a soulless walking corpse.
The shouts in the street are still noisy, but his lonely figure seems to be out of place here.
The Fang Market in the east of Luoxia Town is run by the Fang family. The vendors and mercenaries who sell goods at the stalls here have to pay a certain amount of tax by the Fang family, and the Fang family is responsible for maintaining the order of transactions here. Be fair and ensure the safety of the city.
"arrive."
After a while, the two slowly came to the door of the largest shop in Zhendongfang City. This shop was large in area and sold a wide variety of items, including medicinal materials, elixirs, monster crystal nuclei, and monster beasts. Fur and the sinews and bones of monsters, etc.
Of course, there is also the Qi Condensation Powder that Fang Ji needs most at this time!
Ningqi Powder is a type of elixir. Tianxuan Continent¡¯s elixirs are subdivided into nine grades, and each grade is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Ningqi Powder is a second-grade lower-grade elixir. For the practitioners at the bottom who are not wealthy, the price is already very expensive. You must know that the number of alchemists in Tianxuan Continent is very rare.
Therefore, the profession of alchemist is very noble and cannot be compared with ordinary martial arts practitioners.
Ningqi Powder is classified as a second-grade elixir. The price in Luoxia Town is already sky-high. This elixir can not only condense the profound energy in the body, making it more pure and consolidating the state, but also can eliminate the use of it. If the impurities accumulated in the body of the practitioner are taken after cultivating to the ninth level of Xuanqi, this medicine can even make the practitioner enter the realm of a warrior with 100% chance.
??And Fang Ji needs a Qi Condensing Powder at this time, because he wants to consolidate his realm, so that the profound energy in his body can be condensed, become more pure, and no longer dissipate for no reason.
Before he was nine years old, he was a genius boy of the Fang family.
But since he was nine years old, the profound energy in his body has not increased but decreased!
From the nine -level Xuanqi to the current fourth level of Xuanzhi!
Just when he was practicing last night, he once again clearly felt that the profound energy in his body was being lost in large quantities and rapidly. If he could not take a Qi Condensing Powder in time to consolidate his realm, he would have the fourth level of profound energy in his body at this time. The mysterious energy will drop again, to level three!
The fourth level of Xuan Qi is already at the bottom among his peers. If he is really reduced to the third level of Xuan Qi, he will only be able to hang out with the little guys under ten years old from the Fang family. Even though he had been laughed at by people for six years and had been silent for six years, the extremely tough Fang Ji, whose perseverance had been tempered, still couldn't bear it!
Ningqi Powder is a second-grade elixir. Although it is expensive, it is already one of the best elixirs in the entire Luoxia Town. But it was nothing to him before he was nine years old. At that time, he was a member of Luoxia Town. As long as he casually mentions the hope that the Fang family branch can grow stronger, the family will send someone to buy the elixir and send it to him respectfully. But now he has become the family's waste, the family's shame, no matter what. Saying that the precious second-grade elixir Ning Qi Powder was gone, even the cheapest first-grade elixir Hui Qi Powder would not be given to him.
Of course, he could ask for help from his father, mother, two older brothers who had always loved him, and the little confused boy who never disliked him, but they had given too much to him in the past six years. How can he open his mouth with an open face?
Furthermore, if you really want to ask them for something, what reason would you use?
He said that the Xuan Qi in his body is decreasing again. If he doesn¡¯t take Qi Ning Powder, will he drop to the third level of Xuan Qi
If he really told him this reason, it would be more satisfying to kill him!
So regardless of his frustrated self-esteem and feeling like he was being pricked by needles, he shamelessly found Fang Ruyue on her door. In his memory before he was nine years old, this was Fang Ruyue who was the closest and familiar to him.
I have to say that he was too arrogant at that time, and he was simply arrogant. Not to mention his peers, even the elders in the clan, he didn't take anyone seriously. He wanted to fly out of Luoxia Town and go to a bigger and broader place. Even Fang Ruyue, who had the deepest memory of this unbridled publicity, did not take it seriously.
The reason why Fang Ruyue is followed behind is simply to satisfy her vanity. What genius can have no admirers behind him?
I have to say that God is very fair sometimes.
Six years ago, Ji allowed Fang Ruyue to follow him just to satisfy his vanity and to have an audience when he expressed his lofty ambitions in high spirits.
Today, six years later, Fang Ji has become a foil, which makes Fang Ruyue feel extremely superior when walking with him.
"Do you really just need an ordinary Qi Condensing Powder?" Fang Ruyue looked at the young man's numb but still delicate face, wondering why he felt so distressed. After the words came out of his mouth, even she I felt shocked, hadn't I already realized that I was not from the same world as him?
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down, and the expression on her slightly charming little face became a little more deserted.
However, remembering the friendship that existed many years ago, I would like to help if I can, "I mean, you can ask for an intermediate Qi Condensing Powder, or even" At this point, Fang Ruyue looked pained. Gritting his teeth, "Even a high-level Qi Condensing Powder, I still have some savings over the years, you don't have to save gold coins for me."
Fang Ji, who was originally as lifeless as a dead tree, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes without anxiety met the girl's eyes with a faint aquatic charm.
In the past six years, except for my father, mother, eldest and second brothers, and that little confused boy, how long has it been since anyone has talked to me like this, or cared about me like this?
If it were placed six years ago, then you wouldn¡¯t care at all, right?
¡°Sure enough, people only know how to be grateful when they are extremely depressed.
"Thank you!" Before the age of nine, he was so full of energy that he would not say these two words to others. After the age of nine, no one looked up to him, and he gradually became lonely. Having experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he did not bother to say these two words. But at this moment, spitting it out gently from the mouth, for some reason, didn't seem to be as difficult as imagined.
"You're welcome." Fang Ruyue was stunned for a moment before smiling sweetly.
Whywhen helping others, hearing others say thank you to me does not give me this kind of heartfelt pleasure?
Fang Ruyue tried hard to hide it, but her charming eyes still showed the slightest hint of joy.
"I just want an ordinary Qi Condensing Powder."
After Fang Ji took a deep look at the girl, he slowly lowered his head again.
He kept this favor in mind!
"All right."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Fang Ruyue's face, and she sighed helplessly. Because she had been following Fang Ji when she was a child, no one knew better than her how arrogant Fang Ji was in his heart and how stubborn he was in his bones. , nodded slightly, there was only so much she could do.
There are countless types of elixirs in Tianxuan Continent, and each elixir is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. For example, the elementary Qi Condensing Powder is the most common Qi Condensing Powder, and above that there are intermediate and advanced levels. The condensed energy is dispersed.
However, although they are the same kind of elixir, their prices are very different. The reason is that in addition to the fact that the efficacy of the intermediate and high-level elixirs of the same kind is much better, and there are fewer impurities in the drugs, which may cause sequelae to the practitioners. In addition to being smaller, there is another most important reason, which makes the price of the same kind of intermediate pills much higher than that of the elementary pills, and the price of the same kind of high-grade pills is much higher than that of the intermediate pills.
What is the reason?
The reason is very simple, because there are too few alchemists who can refine intermediate and high-level elixirs!
The number of alchemists in Tianxuan Continent is already very rare. The ratio to ordinary cultivators is almost 1:10,000. This means that among 10,001 cultivators, only one is an alchemist. How can a single alchemist What about the elixirs used by ten thousand practitioners?
Therefore, the price of elixirs is extremely high. Ordinary cultivators without power almost risk their lives to hunt monsters, obtain useful materials and sell them before they have enough money to buy them.With only a limited number of pills to be taken, ordinary cultivators have low cultivation levels and do not have any good martial arts and combat skills, so the mortality rate during hunting is extremely high.
Compared with the number of practitioners, the proportion of alchemists who can refine intermediate and high-level elixirs is even rarer among the alchemists who can refine intermediate or high-level elixirs. Pharmacists have extremely high requirements for understanding the properties of medicine and controlling the heat.
For example, take chefs. Many chefs can make famous dishes that are not bad in taste and are called famous chefs. However, few of them can make extremely outstanding dishes. Ordinary home-cooked dishes that are recognized by the general public.
Why is this?
It¡¯s because those chefs who can make excellent ordinary home-cooked dishes have a deeper understanding of ingredients and condiments.
As for the alchemist profession, if the alchemist cannot control the properties of the medicinal materials and the temperature of the medicine when refining it deeply and freely, then he will not be able to refine intermediate or high-level elixirs. Some alchemists even It is possible to refine fifth- and sixth-grade primary elixirs, but it cannot refine first- and second-grade intermediate or high-level elixirs.
It is for this reason that the price of similar intermediate elixirs is 50% higher than that of ordinary junior elixirs, and the price of similar high-level elixirs is even higher than that of ordinary junior elixirs of the same kind. Doubled.
That¡¯s why Fang Ji, who knew all this, was surprised and very grateful that Fang Ruyue took the initiative to give him an intermediate Qi Condensing Powder or a high-level Qi Condensing Powder.
As soon as he stepped into the store, Fang Ji, who had always been numb, became a little impatient at this moment. The elixir was too important to him at this time. He turned his head and looked towards the right side of the store. The Ning Qi Powder is placed on a cabinet on the right, and each one costs a thousand gold coins!
To him now, one thousand gold coins is nothing more than an astronomical figure.
"Hey, isn't this Fang Ji, the genius boy of the Fang family?" However, at this moment, a sinister and sarcastic laugh suddenly sounded.
