Immortal Refiner

After entering the city, Li Qing immediately asked Qi Kang to change his clothes, trying to make it difficult for people to tell that he was a refugee.

Before the curfew, the two of them booked two good rooms in an inn in the city. Perhaps because of the war, the two rooms didn't cost much money.

Li Qing brought back a lot of gold and silver treasures from the Extreme Night World. Now he can be said to be a real rich man. This money is enough to support him to practice martial arts for a long time.

If one day he doesn't have enough money, Li Qing can continue to go back to the polar night world to search. Anyway, in that world where food is extremely scarce, things like gold, silver and treasures are already very worthless.

Early the next morning, Li Qing asked Qi Kang to go out to inquire about some news in the city.

As for himself, he took the money and came to a medicine hall in the city.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any of these medicinal materials here?" As he spoke, Li Qing handed over a piece of paper with some brewing materials for two wine recipes written on it.

The shopkeeper of the medicine hall took the note from Li Qing without raising his head. When he glanced at it, he was stunned, and then he slowly raised his head to look at Li Qing.

"Hey, sir, you are really making things difficult for me. My Hundred Medicine Hall has been open in Wangyuan City for so many years, and I only have a few of the medicinal materials you asked for." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

Li Qing had no intention of collecting all the medicinal materials at once, so he said without surprise: "Then bring some of the ones you have in the pharmacy, I will take them all."

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper of the medicine hall to quickly bring over the few medicinal materials in his shop.

"Sir, the Polygonatum japonica I have is a good product from the 1950s, so the price will be a little more expensive, do you think?"

With that said, the shopkeeper flashed the Huang Jing he had brought over.

This piece of gold is somewhat dry and looks like ginger, but there are many roots on the surface.

Snapped!

Li Qing slapped a gold leaf directly on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "Wrap them up for me quickly."

"Okay!" Seeing this shiny gold leaf, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he agreed.

Just as he was packing the bags quickly, Li Qing asked smoothly: "Shopkeeper, do you know where I can usually buy the medicinal materials I want?"

The shopkeeper who was working said without thinking: "Fengzhou, Quanshan City, there are deep mountains and old forests, and more than half of the herbal medicines in the entire Feng Kingdom are dug out from there."

"Except for Quanshan City, that is Shengtian, the imperial capital of our Maple Kingdom. Being the most benign place is no mere talk."

Quanshan City, the imperial capital Shengtian.

Li Qing silently remembered these two places in his mind. To collect the materials for two wine recipes, a trip to these two places was inevitable.

Fengzhou Quanshan City is very far away from Wangyuan City. It is in the southwest of Feng Kingdom. If you go there, you have to go through at least several states, which takes a long time.

On the other hand, the imperial capital Shengtian is far away from Wangyuan City, but after all, it is located in the center of the hinterland of Maple Kingdom. It will be closer if you go there. .

Ever since, Li Qing set his next stop at Shengtian.

In a matter of seconds, the medicine shop manager carefully wrapped the medicinal materials Li Qing asked for in brown paper.

When he handed it to Li Qing, he did not forget to remind him: "Sir, although I don't know what you want these medicinal materials for, I have to remind you that among the names of the medicinal materials you just gave me, two of them are dramas. It’s poisonous, so be careful.”

Of course, the highly poisonous substances are the two types used in the Five Poisons and Blood-Activating Wine. He said calmly: "I know it well, so I won't bother the shopkeeper to worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing left the golden leaves on the table and left with the medicinal materials.

After repeating this process, Li Qing visited all the remaining medicinal shops in the city.

But it is a pity that the supply of these medicinal materials shops seems to come from the same place, which overlaps with the types of medicinal materials that Baiyao Tang can provide.

After visiting several stores in succession, he only collected one more old camphor tree roots, but nothing about the other medicinal materials.

Seeing that the herbal medicines at the border were so poor, Li Qing had already made up his mind to go to the imperial capital Shengtian as soon as possible.

...

Back at the inn, Qi Kang had returned from inquiring about the news.

Qi Kang, who had taken a shower and changed his clothes, now no longer looked like a refugee. On the contrary, his face was very refreshing. Apart from his sallow complexion and slimming down, there were basically no flaws.

Qi Kang said to Li Qing honestly: "Sir, I just went to several taverns to inquire about it. The current defenders in the city are Wu Lijun. They just fought a battle with the Liang people the day before yesterday. Because there are The horse thieves attacked, so there was no winner or loser in this battle..."

When he heard the words "Wu Lijun", Li Qing showed no emotion either in his heart or on his expression, showing no trace of strangeness.

He had expected this.

Before he shuttled to the Extreme Night World to escape the war, he knew that the Wu Li Army rushed to the border fortress to support him. Now that he was fighting against the Liang Kingdom's army, he was not surprised at all.

Li Qing nodded and motioned for Qi Kang to continue.

"In addition, the people in the city can freely leave from the west gate. During this period, the people in the city have not evacuated very much. The number is about the same as in the past. There are even caravans coming from time to time! Everyone has great confidence in Wu Lijun. adequate."

When saying this, Qi Kang carefully looked at Li Qing's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

However, Li Qing's face was still calm and he was not surprised.

After all, Wu Lijun was one of the sea-guarding magic needles of Fengguo. Most of them were martial artists, and those at the level of centurions and thousand-man commanders were masters of external and internal strength.

If this kind of fighting force could not even defend Wangyuan City, then Fengguo could be declared defeated in advance.

"Well, it's good that you can leave the city. Take a good rest today and leave Wangyuan City tomorrow." Li Qing said.

As soon as these words came out, Qi Kang opened his mouth wide, and he said: "Sir, do you not need to collect other information about Wangyuan City? I'm afraid it will be difficult to report this to the task?"

Li Qing was stunned, and he said: "Who should I report to? I came to Wangyuan City just to replenish supplies, and then I will leave through the passage to the imperial capital to spend the rest of my life."

"Ah?" Qi Kang was dumbfounded, and he said embarrassedly: "I... I thought you were... a spy sent by Liang State."

When he said the latter sentence, Qi Kang lowered his voice very low, for fear of being heard.

Li Qing heard this and immediately laughed and cried.

"Why do I make you think I'm a spy?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to sneak into Wangyuan City, and today you asked me to go out to find out the news in the city..." Qi Kang, who knew that he had made a mistake, was embarrassed to continue.

For a moment, Li Qing laughed dumbly.

"Okay, don't think too much. Let's buy two horses in the city tomorrow and then leave. There is no need to stay in Wangyuan City any longer."
