Chapter Twenty-Nine: Out of the Mountain
Three months later, Wan Baoshan appeared in the Spirit Garden, which was the third time he had come to collect the list of spiritual herbs after Du Fan had started.
"As soon as the junior brother got started, he took care of the Spirit Garden in an orderly manner, and completed the list of tasks with quality and quantity every time, which really surprised me, and I guess Uncle Shen is also quite satisfied with you. Wanbaoshan looked at the hundreds of acres of boundless medicine garden, and was amazed and surprised.
"Senior Brother Wan said with a smile, I have been lucky to be able to complete the task in the past few months, the spiritual herbs on the list are among the many herbs in the garden, in fact, they have been planted for a long time, and I just picked them off. Du Fan waved his hand again and again.
"Senior disciples don't have to be so modest, the types of spiritual herbs on the list can be said to be very numerous, it is impossible for every junior disciple to be so lucky. Wan Baoshan's eyes flashed, obviously not believing Du Fan's words.
Du Fan could only smile and stop talking.
After collecting the spiritual herbs, Wan Baoshan left, and before leaving, he looked at Du Fan's eyes, and he already had a look of appreciation, but what this fat man thought, only he knew.
In the past three months, Du Fan has re-fiddled with the spiritual herbs in the garden according to the Five Elements Cultivation Method, so that there are a lot of growth enhancement effects, so the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden are not only of better quality than before, but also have an extra part of each species. His own private experimental field was also well cared for, and all the surplus seeds were planted there, and the spiritual herbs in this field would be his private property, also arranged according to the Five Elements planting method, and with chemical fertilizers, it was like another medicine garden that was one size smaller. Due to the abundance of spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, there is no need for accompanying things such as motherwort.
During this time, he mixed well with Wang San, the handyman in the warehouse, and every time he gave him more seeds and seedlings on the basis of the number of seeds and seedlings he should receive, of course, when Du Fan went to collect it again, he would give Wang San a part of the mature spiritual herbs as a rebate.
Du Fan had also secretly traded with Zhang Dashan of the Demon Beast Park a few times, earning dozens of low-level spirit stones, even compared to the inner disciples, he was now quite a wealthy person. Because Du Fan learned that the moon of the miscellaneous servants in the Empty Mulberry Gate was one spirit stone, the outer disciples had two, and the inner disciples had five. The most important thing is that Du Fan's prospects for earning spirit stones are still very good.
Therefore, Du Fan's thinking was also a little more active, and he planned to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the door to buy a copy of the cultivator's introductory exercises, and then in addition to the research and cultivation of spiritual herbs, he would also practice one or two, so that he could study the principles of spells as soon as possible.
On this day, Du Fan took all the spirit stones he had earned in recent months with him, a total of more than thirty pieces, and walked towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
An hour later.
When he looked up and saw a majestic five-story attic standing in front of him, Du Fan took a deep breath and walked towards the gate of the Scripture Pavilion.
After the time of half a pillar of incense, Du Fan walked out of the gate of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion again, with a gloomy face.
"I didn't expect that the most basic cultivation method would cost a hundred spirit stones, and I don't know if the cultivation method is really so expensive, or if the door is deliberately embarrassed by people like me who are not qualified to cultivate, or even some careful thoughts in the secret of the miscellaneous servants of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. ”
Du Fan returned to the Spirit Garden with his head upset, it was not that he couldn't sell some of the spirit herbs to the pharmacy, but the pharmacy was too black-hearted, and the low price of purchasing herbs was secondary, the key was that there was a certain risk here, and it was easy to attract the attention of the deacon of the law enforcement hall in the door, so he directly dispelled this idea.
"No, whether it's the exercises, or the experimental equipment, or even Ruoxi Xiaohu's matter, I have to go out of the mountain gate once and go to Nasang City for a trip. ”
Du Fan made up his mind and no longer hesitated, and after his eyes were decisive, he walked out of the spiritual garden again.
Half an hour later, Du Fan came to the location of a cave, and the door of the cave was closed. At first glance, this cave looks unremarkable, but when it approaches, it gives people an unusually spectacular and heavy strange feeling.
"Disciple Du Fan paid a visit to Uncle Shen. Du Fan took a deep breath, gave a deep salute, and then spoke respectfully.
"What's the matter?" A cold voice came from inside the cave, it was Uncle Shen, the deacon of the foundation building period, Shen Hong.
In a few short words, you can already hear a coldness and impatience, if it weren't for Du Fan's good performance in the past few months, looking at his appearance, he would have taught Du Fan a lesson at this time.
"Senior Uncle Shen, if the disciple wants to go out of the mountain gate to do something, I hope Uncle can approve it. Du Fan was apprehensive in his heart and spoke carefully.
"For the sake of you not causing me trouble in the past few months, you can go out of the mountain gate at will in the future, I don't care about you, but if there is a problem in the Spirit Garden, I will still not be polite, if it is not an important matter in the future, don't come to bother me, you can do it yourself, hum!"
Shen Hong's tone was naturally not kind, but Du Fan was relieved after hearing it.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen, the disciple is retiring. ”
......
Early the next morning, Du Fan packed his bags, took the spirit stones and a batch of mature spirit herbs and left the spirit garden.
An hour later, Du Fan, who was wrapped on his back, appeared at the mountain gate of the empty mulberry gate, but at this time, his face was a little ugly.
"I only know that Sangcheng is the closest city to the empty Sangmen, as for the specific distance and the itinerary, I haven't considered, this ......" It wasn't until he was close to the mountain gate that Du Fan remembered this important thing.
"This batch of items is urgently needed, and you must rush back before the sun sets tomorrow at the latest!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Wan, rest assured. ”
Just when Du Fan was at a loss, he heard the conversation between the two, and when he looked back, it was Wan Baoshan and a disciple in miscellaneous clothes, and Wan Baoshan was telling him something at this time.
"Hey, Senior Brother Du, why are you here, where are you going?" Wanbaoshan also found Du Fan not far away, and after seeing the package on his body, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Wan, and the younger brother was going to Sangcheng to do some things. Du Fan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"According to the rules of the sect, the handymen of the inner gate are not allowed to leave the sect without permission. Wan Baoshan was a little surprised, but he still kindly reminded.
"Thank you Senior Brother Wan for reminding me, but the junior brother naturally knows this, and I have already received Uncle Shen's approval before leaving. Du Fan's face was calm when he heard this, and he explained slightly.
"Since I have received Senior Uncle Shen's permission, then naturally there is no problem, I am about to send someone to Sangcheng to purchase some items, does Senior Brother Du need to take it?" Wan Baoshan heard this, nodded, and then a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"If you could, it would be great. Du Fan was overjoyed and spoke decisively.
"I believe that the junior brother also knows the truth that there is no free lunch, a low-level spirit stone, and the bag goes back and forth. Wan Baoshan smiled implicitly, and the profiteer's face was revealed.
"Okay, no problem!" Du Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and immediately took out a spirit stone and handed it to Wan Baoshan.
"Xiao Tang, this Senior Brother Du, you have to take good care of it on the road. After receiving the spirit stone, Wan Baoshan smiled, and ordered the handyman beside him.
......
Sangcheng is an extremely special city, and its fame shocks both at home and abroad. It is one of the top cities in the Fire Feather Country, the scale is even comparable to the imperial city, and it is also a heavily armed city with strong military forces, but these are not the biggest reasons why Mulberry City can shake the neighboring countries, the reason why this city has such a great reputation is because it is close to the empty Mulberry Gate of the Xiuzhen Sect.
Half a day later, Du Fan followed Xiao Tang's carriage to ten miles outside Sang City, looking at it from such a distance, Du Fan actually had a moment of trance, because compared with the city he had seen before, this city was a bit exaggerated.
As far as the eye can see, the walls of the city extend far away from the left and right, and seem to be connected with the mountains in the distance. This wall alone has nine gates.
After a stick of incense, the carriage came to one of the city gates, and upon closer inspection, Du Fan found that the city wall behind the wide moat was ten zhang high, and the whole body was made of gray stone bricks, giving people a sense of grandeur.
After Xiao Tang showed a token, under the awe-inspiring gaze of the city guards, he smoothly entered this Mulberry City.
After entering the city gate, it is a wide and straight street, which is more than 20 zhang wide, look forward, you can't see the end at a glance, the street is crowded, bustling, prosperous and lively, there are two or three storey attics on both sides, most of them are the existence of shops, there are people in and out of every moment, all show the development of the mulberry city.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Tang, Du Fan began to inquire about the location of the Seven Star Business Alliance branch alliance that Wang San said, and heard that this Seven Star Business Alliance is the largest chamber of commerce in Qingzhou, with an extraordinary background, which not only contains priceless goods in the mortal world, but also sells elixirs, magic tools, and magic weapons in the cultivation world. They don't just sell, they recycle at a high price, the price is fair, and the reputation is good.
If it was just these, Du Fan would not have specifically found this place, because even if the Seven Star Business Alliance was extraordinary, there would be other such business alliances, and the most special place was that the business of trading between the spirit stones in the cultivation realm and the gold and silver in the mortal dust realm was only open to this business alliance. It is said that this rule has been passed down for thousands of years and has never been broken, and this single rush shows the horror of the strength of the Seven Star Business Alliance.
And the Seven-Star Business Alliance, it is only possible to set up a branch alliance in a big city near a sect of this level like the Empty Mulberry Gate, and in the Mulberry City, there is a branch alliance of the Seven Star Business Alliance.
An hour later, Du Fan finally found the location of the Seven Star Business Alliance under many inquiries, but what surprised him was that the branch alliance in front of him looked quite ordinary, located on a remote and quiet street, a three-story quaint small building, and he couldn't see the slightest luxury.
