the first god

Chapter 374

"Let's go back, we have a big meal tonight!" Ma Yunteng and Tong Tong's father rolled the ten-foot snake back into several laps and carried it back.

The demon snake was disembowelled by Ma Yunteng, and precious medicinal materials such as demon core, blood essence, snake gall, and snake venom were left behind.

Tongtong's father has been making it for a long time, and finally a sumptuous snake feast is cooked. There are many kinds of snake soup, snake meat, garlic snake flower, crispy snake section, colorful fried snake shreds, etc. Before Tongtong's father can say anything, Tongtong picked up a piece of snake meat and ate it. He let go of his belly and ate it hard. In the end, there was still a lot of snake meat left, and he was full and his belly was bulging.

Too much is too much, eating so many snake meat of the fifth-order ice soul python and adding many of them as supplementary ingredients, Tongtong's father is strong and able to withstand it, but Tongtong kept shouting that his whole body was hot in the middle of the night, it was a loss Ma Yunteng helped him refine and absorb it, otherwise he didn't know which big water tank he would spend the night in.

"Father Tongtong, I want to take Tongtong to the city for a while and stay there for a few days, and buy some pills by the way, I wonder if it's okay?"

Although there is no need to worry about food and drink in this mountain, there is still a lack of resources for the monks, which cannot meet their needs, and the news is blocked. Ma Yunteng urgently needs to go to the city to do something.Of course, there must be a little guy like Tongtong who is helping the flames here. This little guy pesters me all day long to take him to the source crystal city for a long time. He definitely wouldn't agree, and it would be no problem to ask Mr. Ma to come forward and say.

"..." Tongtong's father hesitated again and again.

"I'm not very familiar with Yuanjing City, so let Tongtong be my guide, don't worry if you're fine!"

Tongtong's father thought about it, and he was indeed not afraid of getting into any trouble with Ma Yunteng's skills. Looking at his son's expectant expression, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Although Ma Yunteng traveled around the world in the early years, he may not have been to every place, and this source crystal city is one of them.

Tongtong's family lives in this mountain called Yaofeng, which is adjacent to Huoyun Mountain, and it is only an hour's walk from Yuanjing City.Medicine Peak is rich in spiritual materials. Most of the local farmers make a living by planting spiritual grass, and then harvest the planted spiritual grass and sell them in Yuanjing City. They can take a carriage to the city, saving a lot of effort.

On the way in the carriage, Tongtong introduced the general situation of Yuanjing City to himself.

Yuanjing City is not large in scale, just a small and medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands.Yuanjing City is considered a land without an owner, and there is no city lord to control it. However, in the long-term development, several major families have become the local uncrowned kings. The owner of the auction house is the three wealthy families of the Bai family.

Of course, for these wealthy families, it is naturally impossible to specialize in one field, as long as it is profitable, it is inevitable to get involved in it, but this is the case for industry giants.

From these power divisions, what makes Ma Yunteng very curious is that, as the top forces in medicine pills, weapon refining, and formations, the branches of Pill Tower, Weapon Refining Sect, and Array Masters Association have not been able to form a branch in this small source. Occupying a place in the Crystal City, I don't know if the source crystal city is too remote to be worthy of their attention or because Bai Yuanwang, the three wealthy families, have taken root too deeply in the source crystal city to give them a foothold.

"What about the Fire Worship Cult?" Ma Yunteng also knew from Lihuodao's population that the headquarters sent people here to set up a sub-forum. On the surface, they are spreading the Zoroastrian Cult but actually supervising the Huoyun Temple.

After the "Huoyunguan tragedy", Ma Yunteng did not believe that the Fire Worship Cult would not be aware of it. The main purpose of his trip to Yuanjing City this time was to inquire about the news and see how they reacted before making a decision.

"The Fire Worship Sect? That's amazing. Although they are outsiders, there are two strong men who are at the peak of the moon-enhancing state in the sect. The three major families are all overwhelmed by them, and they all want to pull them into their camp. , it just didn’t work out.”

Driving all the way, Yuanjing City finally arrived.

The city is bustling and bustling with people, but it is still not as good as Floating Cloud City.There are three major cities in Xuanyu, Haotian City in the north, Liuyun City in the south, and the holy city Zhongzhou in the hinterland of Xuanyu. Compared with these big cities with tens of millions of people like independent countries, they are really poor and remote.

After getting out of the car, Ma Yunteng, led by Tongtong, walked towards Dan Pavilion, the branch of Pill Tower in Yuanjing City, while Mr. Xie, who was with him, transported the spirit grass to other places for sale. People go to high places, who will pay the price? It is in their interests to sell to whoever has the highest price, and there is no rule that the product must be sold to whomever, so naturally the one with the highest price will get it, and it is a matter of course.

The shop of Dange in Yuanjing City is not in the downtown area, but rather remote.The hanging hilltop-style building is a bit old-fashioned, but it is equipped with an independent courtyard for alchemists to rest in alchemy. There is a gold-plated renovation plaque of "Dan Pavilion" hanging in front of the shop, which seems very incongruous. From this point of view, this alchemy Ge is really not doing well in Yuanjing City.

At this time, there were very few customers in the Dan Pavilion, and it could almost be said that there were few customers.Standing on the counter was a sales lady, about twenty-eight years old, plump and bumpy, she was concentrating on something, when she heard footsteps, she slightly raised her head and looked at her, she was about to greet her with a smile, but she could see clearly The face of the visitor drooped in disappointment. A seven or eight-year-old kid and a gray-haired old man originally thought they were big customers, but what the two of them could afford, they were not too well dressed. Like someone who can afford any good pills.

Her name is Tang Wan, and she has been working here for more than three months. During this period of time, the business in Dan Pavilion has not been very good. Apart from receiving a meager basic salary, she has almost no commission. Why don't you go to the Wang's family to apply for a job? Thinking of a good friend of mine who chose to work in the Wang's family. She is not as capable as she is, but she gets much more money every month than she does. She is so envious and jealous!

But she still tried her best to suppress her dissatisfaction, and greeted the guests with a smile on her face, "You two are objective, I don't know what kind of medicine you want to buy, or let me introduce it to you?"

"Do you have any Yi Rong Dan, which grade is the highest?"

There are grades of elixir, but it doesn’t mean that a kind of elixir has a grade. For example, the Yi Rong Dan mentioned by Ma Yunteng is usually refined by a pharmacist, and it is only in the category of second-grade elixir. People can change their appearance in a short period of time, but they can't hide their cultivation and aura, and the time limit is very short, no more than three days, so it is more practical to use some spells to change their appearance;

However, in the hands of some senior pharmacists, they rely on their superb techniques to refine the Yi Rong Pill that can conceal the aura of cultivation without revealing the slightest trace of the past. The rank is much higher, and the value cannot be compared.

"Well, we do have Yi Rong Dan here, but most of them are second-grade pills. What do you think, old man?" Tang Wan raised her voice a lot when talking about second-grade pills. Not everyone can afford pills. Judging by their looks, they can at most just make do with buying a first-grade pill, which is the lowest level, and it’s already good, but also a second-grade pill, let’s blow it!

Alchemist is a profession that burns a lot of money. From an apprentice to a teacher, the cost of various materials is like water, and the success rate of alchemy is not high. Hard work can't be earned.Even so, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for apprenticeship, because once you become a teacher, the benefits you get are extremely huge, and the profit margin of expensive pills is not small. As the saying goes, high risk and high reward, there is still a little fairness in this world, and pills The higher the rank, the more popular they are, often many famous people have to humbly ask a pharmacist to refine a medicine for them.

"Is there no high-grade one?" Ma Yunteng asked back.

"Ah?" Tang Wan wondered if she heard it wrong. You look so poor that you may not be able to afford second-grade pills or first-grade pills, let alone higher-level ones. I didn't have any money to pretend to be a big head, and I deliberately wanted to make myself happy, thinking that there was a trace of obvious anger on my face.Judging by his appearance, he probably didn't know how much the second-grade elixir is worth so he installed it here, right?

"A bottle of [-] middle-level spirit stones of the second-grade Yirong Pill, and the price of high-level spirit stones will be much more expensive."

Pretend, let you pretend, this time we will see how you step down.

Spirit stones are the common currency in this world. They are divided into three levels: high, medium, and low. The conversion ratio between two adjacent levels is ten, which means that one middle-level spirit stone can be exchanged for ten low-level spirit stones.For an ordinary family like Tongtong, and even most people in Yuanjing City, one low-level spirit stone can almost be worth their weekly rations. These thirty mid-level spirit stones are really not something ordinary families can get. shot.No wonder it is said that all alchemists in the world are a bunch of rich and fat people.

"Thirty spirit stones!" Tong Tong's eyes widened from the side, what kind of elixir is so expensive?

Seeing Tongtong's stunned look, Tang Wan felt even more contempt in her heart, and she was even more certain that Ma Yunteng was just a poor man teasing her, and even her tone of voice was no longer as polite as before and became tough stand up,
"This old man, if you want to buy pills, you can buy them quickly. If you don't want to buy them, go to another place!"

It is obvious that people are giving themselves an order to evict guests.

"I said, do you have any high-level Yi Rong Dan for sale?"

Seeing that the old man was so ignorant, he was really shameless, and Logan was about to explode.

Just when she was about to call for someone to chase her away, a woman came out from the back hall.

The woman was wearing a white pharmacist's robe, with three silver-rimmed stars embroidered on the neckline, and the person who came was a third-rank pharmacist.

The classification criteria for Danta pharmacists is very simple. The only difference in the uniform clothing is the logo on the neckline - the first to third level pharmacists are silver-edged stars, and the first level is a low-level pharmacist; the fourth to sixth level pharmacists have a The Phnom Penh moon, also one at the first level, is an intermediate pharmacist; the seventh to ninth level is the red sun, which is an advanced pharmacist.As for the tenth-level pharmacist, Ma Yunteng has never met one before, so I don't know, but whether there is a tenth-level pharmacist in the alchemy tower is still a matter of opinion.

This woman was just in her early twenties when she was young, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a delicate figure, fresh and refined, neither charming nor bewitching, even though she was wearing a white Taoist robe, she still depicted her figure's concave and convex curves, although it was not as plump as Tang Wan's, But it also has a style and a unique charm.

"Miss Jinglu." Seeing the other party coming, Tang Wan quickly turned around and bowed to welcome her. She was just a little drug seller, and the other party was a third-level pharmacist, and she held great power and status in the Pill Pavilion. Chaoran, if she made her unhappy because of a small matter, she would be too resentful if she drove herself away.

"What's going on here, it's so noisy?" This Miss Jingming was a little angry when she saw that the drug seller had an argument with the customer. Don't you know that the customer is God? Now our Dan Pavilion has not yet stood in Yuanjing City. If you keep your footing, you will offend people first. If people spread the word, are we still in Yuanjing City?
"Miss Jingming, it's not like this, just listen to my explanation..." Tang Wan was also scared at this time, and quickly explained the whole story to her.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Tang Wan's explanation, Jing Mo's anger calmed down. She really can't blame her for this. It's not about snobbery, but any drug sales lady will have this kind of reaction when encountering such a situation, and even do something like that. Not as good as her, looked up and down towards Ma Yunteng and said,
"Mr., since the pill you want to buy is relatively large, can you let us see if your funds are sufficient?"

"Could it be that any customer who comes to buy things from you has to disclose his property to you? Is this how you do business in Dange?" It turned out that the other party thought he was a poor man, so he rolled his eyes at him. This kind of hospitality It's really unflattering. When Ma Yunteng said this, not only did he not panic, but there was a trace of anger.

"You..." Ms. Jing Ming is not as polite as Tang Wan. When has she ever been offended as a third-level pharmacist? It's always been too late for others to cater to her.

"Old sir, please forgive me, the elixir you want is really too expensive, we..." Tang Wan hurriedly motioned for Jing to stop, mediating in the middle to ease the atmosphere of the scene.

"Okay, do you think this is enough?" As he said, Ma Yunteng took out a bag of spirit stones from his space ring. The bag was untied and a few spirit stones came out. The bag was full of high-level spirit stones, and The quality is much better than ordinary high-level spirit stones.

This…

With this slap in the face, Tang Wan and Jing Ling didn't know what to say for a while, the rich people like to pretend to be poor, and the poor like to pretend to be rich, what's wrong with this world?
Tang Wan reacted first, and coughed twice to remind Jing Ling.

As a third-level pharmacist, it's not that Jing Lu has never seen so many high-level spirit stones, but her snobbishness just now was too ugly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Is it alright?" Ma Yunteng put away the spirit stone, and wanted to turn around and leave, "Since your Pill Pavilion is such a way of hospitality, then I'd better go to Wang's to buy medicine."

Ma Yunteng was about to step out of the Dange store with Tongtong, but was stopped by a voice,
"Old gentleman, please stay!"
