I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Zhang Yuan took back the red-eyed crow.

It’s not that he was afraid of the two falcons that just appeared - the Red-Eyed Crow was fully capable of defeating them.

The main reason is that the three falcons that appeared before and after were obviously not wild birds of prey, but artificially domesticated and controlled animals.

Zhang Yuan suspected that the one controlling these falcons might be the target he was looking for!

Of course, things may not be such a coincidence, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he still let the red-eyed crow fly away and then took it into the god's nest.

In the short term, Zhang Yuan did not plan to let the Red-Eyed Crow continue to scout over the Crescent Oasis.

At least not during the day, as it is easy to catch the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.

He rode the old horse slowly towards the oasis ahead.

When Zhang Yuan approached the oasis, several knights suddenly rushed out of the woods and quickly blocked his way.

These knights were dressed in old leather armor, with dark skin and rough looks, and each of them looked very tough.

One of them shouted in a deep voice: "Where are you from, stranger? What do you want to do here?"

Zhang Yuan pulled the reins and replied calmly, "I came from Hekou Market and came here to buy some things I need."

The knight looked at Zhang Yuan coldly, and then said: "New Moon Oasis welcomes all friends, but you must abide by the rules here, do you understand?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"very good."

The knight threw a wooden sign to Zhang Yuan: "Ten taels of silver."

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed it, and found that it was something similar to an identity plate.

It is probably the certificate for entering and exiting the oasis.

This is completely different from Hekouji. Crescent Oasis is obviously controlled by one or more forces.

The management needs to be much stricter.

Zhang Yuan did not bargain, he took out an ingot of silver from his arms and threw it back.

The knight took it in his hand, weighed it up and down, and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's good that you know the rules. Remember to hang the sign on you, and ask about our rules after you go in."

"This will only do you good!"

He whistled and told his two companions to turn around and leave.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Zhang Yuan's sight.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan keenly sensed that there was one less gaze falling on him.

In addition to the three knights who came out to interrogate him, there were others who were watching him secretly.

Moreover, this person's cultivation strength is much greater than that of the three knights.

This shows what makes Crescent Oasis so special!
Zhang Yuan rode his horse forward, following a trampled path, and leisurely entered this rather mysterious place.

The deeper you go into the oasis, the less grass and trees there are, and the more strange buildings you see.

Passersby and local residents sitting at the door all looked at Zhang Yuan, a visitor from afar, with indifference and vigilance.

What’s interesting is that along the way, Zhang Yuan didn’t see a single beggar or homeless person in the oasis.

Moreover, the number of the elderly, the weak, women and children was very small, or he could only see a handful of them!
Everywhere I looked, I saw some fierce and strong guys with unfriendly eyes.

The situation did not change until he arrived at the open-air market on the lakeside in the center of the oasis.

This place is the most popular and is much more normal.

But this popularity is mixed with all kinds of strange flavors.

For example, the smell of livestock excrement, the smell of burning firewood, the smell of something rotting and smelling, the smell of human sweat... These smells mixed together, coupled with the noisy sounds, form a very unique atmosphere in the Oasis Bazaar.

Zhang Yuan was in the middle of it and actually felt a little lost as to where to go.

Fortunately, he had a strong ability to adapt. He adjusted his sense of smell and hearing in the blink of an eye, allowing himself to quickly blend into the atmosphere here so as not to appear out of place.

Next to the market, there are a large number of thatched huts and wooden houses, which serve as wine shops, restaurants, and tea shops, and there are also houses similar to grocery stores.

Zhang Yuan chose the most popular one in the family, tied his mount to the wooden stake next to it, and then went in and found a seat to sit down.

After ordering some food and drinks, Zhang Yuan listened carefully to the conversation of the drinkers.

As a result, I did gain some results.

The most important thing he heard was that in two days, Oasis's monthly Crescent Auction would be held as scheduled. It was said that there would be special treasures on display, waiting for the right people to bid for them.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved when he heard this.

So far, he has not found any trace of the Crazy Sand Army or the Blue Wolf Camp.

The latter is most likely hiding in this oasis.

But without an accurate source of intelligence, Zhang Yuan couldn't just rush around like a headless fly.

And he remembered that the most important thing that Wu Ziyu of the Wu family asked him to do was to retrieve the stolen Seven-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.

Zhang Yuan specifically asked about it and learned that this Ganoderma lucidum is a rare treasure from heaven and earth.

As for the reason for sending it to the Western Regions, Wu Ziyu refused to disclose it.

I think it is very important.

Oasis is about to hold an auction now. Will this seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum be on the auction block then?
If it is really put on the auction, it is entirely possible for Zhang Yuan to follow the clues and find the culprit!

Feeling he had heard enough, he left the tavern and found an inn nearby to stay the night.

After settling down, Zhang Yuan returned to the market.

While strolling around, you can get to know the situation here in case of emergency.

There are many stalls in this open-air market, selling all kinds of items, including herbs, minerals, weapons, antiques, food ingredients, etc.

Many things really opened the eyes of Zhang Yuan, who had just arrived!
Suddenly, the items sold at a street stall caught Zhang Yuan's attention.

The items on display at this street stall included things like vine roots, branches, animal bones and cow horns. Among them, there was a dark red hay that made Zhang Yuan's eyes light up.

Kylin grass!
He was very familiar with this kind of spiritual material, so he could tell its origin at a glance.

So I asked the stall owner, "How much is this herb?"

The stall owner was a thin middle-aged man. When he heard Zhang Yuan's question, he blinked and then raised a palm and shook it at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan frowned: "Five hundred taels of silver?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellowed and uneven teeth: "Fifty thousand taels!"

What the hell!

Zhang Yuan was completely speechless.

This Qilin grass is only a few decades old, and it is not processed very well. Although the five hundred taels of silver he offered is a bit low, it is not outrageously low.

The other party actually offered a hundred times the price, totally treating him as a fat sheep!

Zhang Yuan, who was completely uninterested, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't afford it."

"and many more!"

As a result, just as he was about to turn around and leave, the stall owner called out to him, "You haven't paid yet!" (End of this chapter)
