Celestial being
Chapter 311 Insect Pill
Yuan Ming frowned and continued to move forward. He saw another shocking scene.
In an alley next to the avenue, a headless corpse was lying horizontally, and the blood flowing out had dried up. Not far from it stood a bare-chested man with a beard, exuding the energy of the early stage of foundation building. Breathing, he was yelling:
"Who the hell, you kill someone and don't clean up the body, just leave it in front of someone else's house. Do you still have any sense of fairness?"
Yuan Ming saw that he was scolding him so righteously, and the nearby monks were not surprised. Some even didn't bother to look back, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of the chaos in this place.
However, as he entered the inner city, the situation improved a lot. Although the monks walking on the road were still full of evil spirits, at least there were no ones who dared to fight in the street.
Soon, Yuan Ming was looking for a place to rent a house in the inner city, hoping to rent a house to stay.
Unexpectedly, the monk in yellow clothes who was responsible for renting the house reported a price that surprised him.
"Six hundred and one years for the house in the inner city? Why don't you go and rob it?" Yuan Ming yelled angrily.
Just because he has a lot of spiritual stones on his body doesn't mean that he can be slaughtered by anyone. You know, the house price in Xiaohu City is only one or two hundred spiritual stones. How can such a shabby place be more expensive than there?
Unexpectedly, in the face of Yuan Ming's anger, the monk in yellow smiled and said: "Senior, please calm down. The price is expensive for a reason. The inner city area is personally protected by the city lord. No one is allowed to do anything here. Not only is life convenient. , the public security is also very good. If you don’t have enough spirit stones, I can also recommend you a few houses in the outer city. Although the prices are cheap, the public security is very good. To be honest, there was a chaos in the city not long ago. , many monks living in the outer city have suffered, and several of them, like you, also have the foundation building stage."
Yuan Ming was speechless. He recalled what he had seen and heard on the way into the city. Without saying anything more, he gritted his teeth and accepted the price.
Seeing this, the monk in yellow immediately handed over a jade slip that marked the location of a vacant house in the inner city. Yuan Ming took it and looked at it, but frowned again.
"Why are there only two places left?"
"There is no way. Many people living in the outer city are trying hard to move to the inner city. It is a coincidence that you came here. They were just vacated yesterday." The monk in yellow explained.
Yuan Ming was helpless and didn't bother to ask what the new vacancy meant. He directly chose one of the relatively quiet rooms. After taking out the spirit stone and handing it over, he took the key and the token indicating the identity of the resident from the monk in yellow. Turned around and left here.
After renting the house, Yuan Ming went non-stop to the shops selling elixirs in the city.
This shop named Chunfengtang is far inferior to the Aoki Building in Xiaohu City in terms of scale and decoration. There are only a few types of foundation-building elixirs, but the price is more than half higher than Aoki Building.
This scene made Yuan Ming regret a little, why he didn't buy more elixirs in Jin and Zhao.
"Senior, from the looks of it, you just came to the Black Wind Desert, right? This place is far away from the Central Plains. Bandits are everywhere in the Black Wind Desert. If you are unlucky, you will encounter the deadly black wind. Therefore, the transportation of materials is extremely inconvenient, and the prices cannot be compared with those in the Central Plains. , Shensha City is located on the edge of the Black Wind Desert, and the price of elixirs is relatively cheap. If you go deeper, the prices there will be more expensive." A young clerk in the store came over and said.
Yuan Ming also thought of this and couldn't help but start to secretly calculate his current net worth.
Although he still has tens of thousands of spirit stones on him, but now that he has no stable income from the spirit incense shop, he doesn't know how long he can continue to maintain a relatively good cultivation environment.
"Senior, if you think the elixirs are expensive, there are some cheap ones, you can take a look." The young clerk suddenly blinked and said.
Yuan Ming was startled and waved his hand to the waiter to lead the way.
The young clerk took Yuan Ming to the innermost part of the store, where there was a counter with more than a dozen gray and black medicine bottles placed on it.
Yuan Ming's consciousness swept away and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The elixirs inside these medicine bottles are very different from those outside. Not only are they much smaller, but their outer skins are also extremely rough and gray, to the point that it makes people wonder whether they are elixirs or clay balls. situation.
However, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from these elixirs were extremely strong, and they were no less than the Snow Jingdan elixirs he had eaten before.
The most important thing is that the prices of these elixirs are very cheap, with the price tags being around more than one hundred spirit stones, and the most is only two hundred spirit stones.
"What kind of elixirs are these?" Yuan Ming took a medicine bottle and gently opened the cork, and a strange, sour and pungent smell came out.
"These are insect pills." said the young man.
"Insect Pill?" Yuan Ming looked at the clerk.
"No grass can grow in the Black Wind Desert, and transportation to the Central Plains is inconvenient. The underground mineral deposits are very rich, but spiritual herbs and elixirs are extremely scarce. Fortunately, there are countless insects and monsters here. The alchemists in the Black Wind Desert learn from the methods of the Northern Desert. The method of refining elixirs is to use local materials, use the cores of demonic insects to make elixirs, and then make these insect elixirs." The young man explained.
"Insect core? Could it be something similar to demon elixirs? As far as I know, demon elixirs rarely exist in the bodies of second-level demon beasts. Only when demon beasts reach the third level will demon elixirs be generally born. You insect elixirs don't Is it made from level three monster insects?" Yuan Ming was puzzled.
"Of course not. The strength of the third-level monsters is comparable to that of monks in the pill-forming stage. How can they be hunted in large numbers? The environment of the Black Wind Desert is special. Even if the monsters here are first-level, insect cores will be born in their heads. As for why they are born I’m not very sure about the insect core, but I heard people say it’s the influence of the black wind.” said the young man.
"In my head..." Yuan Ming was thoughtful after hearing this.
The Black Wind Desert looks barren, but it is rich in underground mineral deposits. The monster insects here have no worries about spiritual power. The black wind blowing in the desert has a great impact on the soul. In this special environment, the monster insects use their demon power to protect the soul all the year round. , it is not surprising that insect cores form in the head.
"Senior, don't look at these insect elixirs for their ugly appearance. In fact, the spiritual power contained in them is extremely rich, almost twice that of elixirs of the same level. And when you actually take it, you will find that the taste is not as bad as it looks and smells. ." Seeing that Yuan Ming was silent, the young man thought he was resisting the Chong Dan and said quickly.
"Oh, these insect elixirs are so effective? But you sell them so cheaply. There must be some drawbacks to this elixir, right?" Yuan Ming shook the medicine bottle and asked with a smile.
"Senior, you have a keen eye, and I will tell you the truth. Although the elixir refined with insect cores as raw materials is extremely powerful, it also contains the remaining thoughts of insect monsters, which will have a certain impact on the monks. But as time goes by, those evil thoughts will gradually disappear, and as long as you don't take a large amount in a short period of time, there won't be any big hidden dangers." The young man said with some embarrassment.
"That's it." Yuan Ming said casually, knowing it in his heart.
The impact of nymph pills is really not great. With the efficacy of these pills, they will never be sold so cheaply.
"Senior, if you are worried about the residual thoughts of monsters and insects, why not try this Rock Xu Pill. The insect cores used in this batch of insect pills are all taken from the bodies of Rock Beard insects and refined through special means. The residual thoughts contained in them are half a percent less than similar pills. , high quality, just suitable for people like Senior who are coming into contact with it for the first time." The guy picked up a black medicine bottle and said.
Yuan Ming weighed in his mind for a while and finally, under the salesman's strong promotion, he only bought one bottle as a trial, and chose a few common elixirs to try out.
After purchasing the elixirs, he returned to the rented mansion and saw that although the cave was simple, it had all kinds of furniture and the decorations were neat and clean. His depressed mood improved slightly.
He did not rush to practice, but first carefully checked the house, and after confirming that there were no traps or hidden tricks left by others, he specially arranged the Five Elements Disillusionment Formation outside, and then he felt relieved.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the bottle of Yanxudan he bought, poured one out and placed it in his palm. After much hesitation, he put his heart together and put the elixir into his mouth with his eyes closed.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as Yanxudan was taken into his mouth, it melted instantly and turned into a medicinal liquid with a delicate fragrance. The taste was even a little sweet, which made people salivate.
As the medicinal liquid entered his abdomen, Yuan Ming suddenly felt a sense of coolness rippling from his abdomen, running all the way to his limbs. The feeling was as refreshing as drinking a bowl of iced herbal tea at noon on a dog day. .
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ming felt an extremely strong medicinal power integrated into his body. He quickly activated his skills and stepped up his practice while the medicinal power was being released.
It ran for a week in a short time. Although the mana did not increase significantly, the speed of cultivation was indeed a little faster than before.
But at this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly felt a pain in the middle of his eyebrows, and then a noisy sound like the chirping of insects came from his ears.
At the same time, an extremely thin black mist suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, slowly covering his soul.
Yuan Ming's consciousness fell into a trance, and he felt that he seemed to have turned into a black insect lurking in the sand, echoing the calls of his companions.
But after a moment, this feeling suddenly dissipated, and Yuan Ming returned to normal.
He rubbed his brows, glanced at the Yansu Dan beside him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Relying on the Yanxu Pill to practice is fast, but he refines his willpower every day and has to withstand the erosion of various emotions. If he continues to take the Insect Pill to practice, in the long run, the realm of the soul will be affected.
Yuan Ming shook his head, put the Yanxu Pill away, and decided not to take it yet.
He tried other elixirs and found that, apart from being extremely expensive, the elixirs here were very effective, so he felt relieved a little.
