CHAPTER 269
News!
Zhehuan City was several times larger than Xunyang Town, and its environment was also much better than Xunyang Town's. However, compared to the large cities that Tang Jin and Xiao Yu had seen on their way here, this was just a small city.
However, a city was a city after all. It was different from a town. The inns, shops, and restaurants in a city could never be found in a town.
At present, the business of the humankind had just begun to develop. Not many people were consciously making money by selling and buying. Even some inns and shops were established by the leaders of different clans, for the convenience of travelers.
Farmer God Inn.
Judging from the name of this inn, one could tell that it was opened by the Shennong Tribe. There were several rooms in a large courtyard in the back, which was totally different from the luxurious and grand inns of the later generations.
Even the service was different. When Tang Jin brought Xiao Yu in, no servant came out to greet them. Glancing around the hall of the inn, other than a few people eating, there was only a shopkeeper at the counter who was looking down at something. When he sensed Tang Jin and Xiao Yu coming in, he raised his head and smiled at them. He did not ask if they wanted to stay in the inn and then looked down at his table again.
"Wow, this service attitude." Smiling to himself, Tang Jin stepped forward and knocked on the counter. When the shopkeeper raised his head in confusion, Tang Jin smiled and said, "We want to stay in this inn. Find us a room."
"One room." The shopkeeper mumbled. He lowered his head and picked up a small book on the other side to take a look. After that, he raised his head to look at Tang Jin and said, "Yes, there is. Three low-grade spirit stones a day. How long do you want to stay?"
"Three days." Tang Jin casually threw out nine low-grade spirit stones and asked for a room for three days. Then, he waited for the shopkeeper to take them to the backyard to find a room.
However, Tang Jin waited for a while and saw that the shopkeeper didn't come out to lead them to their rooms. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the Spirit Stones again after collecting them.
With a slight frown, Tang Jin patted the counter again and said with some dissatisfaction, "Take us to a room?"
"Looking for a room?" The shopkeeper raised his head in surprise. Then he smiled and pointed to the backyard. "The rooms with the doors open are empty. You can go in and find a room to stay in. Don't forget to tidy up your room when you leave three days later. "
Tang Jin was dumbfounded as he looked at the shopkeeper, who lowered his head after introducing the shop to Tang Jin. For a moment, he was unable to react.
Was the culture of the ancient humans so good?
Shaking his head, Tang Jin was not used to it. However, he didn't say anything and just walked to the backyard to look for a room.
There were only nine rooms in the backyard of the Farmer God Inn. Three of them were closed. It seemed that they were occupied. The remaining six rooms were the same. The tidiness and furnishings were similar. Tang Jin didn't choose one and stayed in it.
"Phew!" Tang Jin had just closed the door when Xiao Yu fell onto the bed with a plop. He let out a long sigh and said, "Boss, I was scared to death along the way. Those people were all experts whose cultivations were many times higher than ours. You actually dared to lie to them?"
"You are too timid." Pointing at Xiao Yu with a smile, Tang Jin pulled a table over and took out food and wine from the ring. He said as he took out the food, "It's okay if I cheat them. The Untainted Land's view of the strong has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Those who can fly are experts in their hearts! At the very least, they are Daluo Jinxian! In addition, they saw that our cultivation is only at the Divinity Stage and the Combination Stage. They always thought that they couldn't see through our cultivation. How dare they provoke us? It has become their habit to respect the strong. Xiao Yu, you don't know how terrible it is to get used to it. Hehe, it's impossible for them to find out or suspect us. Even if they find out that we are cheating them, we can still fly. They can't do anything to us. Don't worry. Come on, we have been flying for so long. Let's have a good meal first. The food in the Untainted Land is really disgusting. "
After arriving in the Untainted Land, Tang Jin had eaten in the small village of Zhangwang and in Xunyang Town. The food there was really disgusting. It was just a large piece of bloody meat casually roasted and eaten after it was half-cooked. When he ate it, he could taste the blood in his mouth. It was extremely disgusting.
In the Untainted Land, the Demon Tribe and the Wu people directly ate raw meat and drank the blood of the raw meat. The Human Tribe knew how to roast the meat with fire. It was already good enough to eat it after it was cooked. As for seasoning, they didn't even have it.
Well, the Human Tribe had just begun to develop. As the saying goes, when one is full and warm, one will be lustful. The Human Tribe couldn't even guarantee their own survival now. How could anyone have time to study food?
Seeing the food, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up in an instant. She rubbed her hands and picked up the chopsticks to eat directly. While eating, she didn't forget to say to Tang Jin, "Boss, it's not a matter of courage. Maybe it's a matter of clan. The idea that the strong are respected in the Demon Tribe is imprinted in our blood. Of course, it's different from the Human Tribe. All the people we saw were masters at the Immortal Level, and their levels were not low. Boss, you are the only one who has the courage to go up and cheat them. "
"Of course, don't you know who your boss is? Hahaha!"
"…"
Both of them were like reincarnated hungry ghosts. They had a good meal and didn't stop until they finished all the food on the table.
Without experiencing bad things, one would never know how good one had now. Without eating the food of the Untainted Land, Tang Jin would never know how delicious the food he had eaten before was.
Xiao Yu fell on the bed with a "bang". She touched her round belly and said to Tang Jin, who also fell on the bed beside her, "Brother, where are we going next? Where can we find the Yuan Honglian? "
"I don't know. After all, it's my first time in the Untainted Land." Tang Jin put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof. He thought for a while and then said, "It seems that we can only go to the shops in the city to have a look. But I don't think we can find it. Although the Yuan Honglian is not an immortal herb, it is considered the top among the spiritual herbs. It's unlikely to be sold. But we can just ask. Even if we can't buy it, we can still inquire about it and see where it is. If we know where it is, there will definitely be a way to get it. "
"Okay! Then let's take a look in Zhehuan City now? "
"…"
"Boss, Zhehuan City is quite big. There is only one shop in the entire city?" Tang Jin and Xiao Yu stood in front of the "Farmer God shop". Looking at the old plaque hanging on the shop, which was only the size of a small house, Xiao Yu asked with a lack of confidence, "Such a small shop can't possibly have a top spiritual herb like the Yuan Honglian."
"If we didn't miss any place in Zhehuan City, I think this is indeed the only shop in Zhehuan City. So, we have no other choice." To Take The Lead and walk into the Farmer God shop, Tang Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's just ask. Even if there isn't anything, it's always good to ask. What's the saying again? If you don't feel ashamed to ask, you will definitely get something. "
When they walked into the Farmer God shop, just like the Farmer God Inn, there were no servants coming out to greet them. Only the shopkeeper at the counter was lying there in a deep sleep. He wasn't afraid that the things in the shop would be stolen.
After walking into the shop, Tang Jin scanned the shelves around the shop and found that there were only pairs of herbs on the shelves. They could be used to treat colds. Not to mention the Yuan Honglian, there weren't even any spiritual herbs.
This shop only had herbs and nothing else.
In ancient times, every family was self-sufficient. Pots and pans? Wouldn't it be enough to grind one with the big stone at the door? Bed, door, table, and chair? Wouldn't it be enough to grind one with the big tree at the door?
The demand was not high. No, to be precise, there was no demand at all. No wonder there were no shops.
Thud, thud, thud …
"Hey, stop sleeping. Wake up. The customer is here." Walking to the counter, Tang Jin knocked on the counter hard, waking up the shopkeeper who was sleeping soundly.
"Eh? Eh? " The shopkeeper suddenly straightened up, pulled up his sleeves to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Tang Jin blankly. After a while, he came to himself and said with a smile, "Oh, the customer is here? What, do you want to buy some herbs? I'll find them for you. Or do you have any herbs that you don't know? I can show it to you. "
Looking at the kind and enthusiastic shopkeeper who was awakened by him, Tang Jin sighed in his heart, "How nice the people in ancient times were. Just like what was recorded in history, they didn't pick up lost things on the road and didn't close their doors at night. I always thought it was an exaggeration in the ancient books. Only such a human tribe could become the overlord of the world and be supported by the Sages after the defeat of the Shaman and Demon Tribes. Alas, if it were the later generations of the Human Tribe, they would be like snakes trying to swallow an elephant, scheming against each other and deceiving each other. I'm afraid they would have been exterminated long ago. "
"I'm here to buy herbs, but you don't have the herbs I want to buy." Pointing to the shelves around the room with his right hand, Tang Jin kept tapping the counter with his left hand, and asked leisurely, "Yuan Honglian, do you have it here?"
"Yuan Honglian?" The shopkeeper exclaimed softly. After thinking for a long time, he scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, customer, I don't think so. What kind of Yuan Honglian are you talking about? I've never heard of it. What I know is only the herbs in this room. "
As he spoke, the shopkeeper pointed around the room with an embarrassed expression.
"Yuan Honglian is not a herb, but a panacea. It's a material for refining elixirs." Tang Jin smiled and asked kindly, "I wonder if you have any way to contact the Shennong Tribe and ask for me. I need this Yuan Honglian urgently."
The more Tang Jin knew about the Untainted Land, the more he liked the atmosphere of the Untainted Land. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know where he came from, Tang Jin really wanted to move to the Untainted Land with his family. In the Untainted Land, seeing these kind and enthusiastic people, Tang Jin felt his wild and violent heart calm down.
It was as if he had been purified by the Untainted Land.
Panacea? Refining elixirs? Hearing Tang Jin's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help being shocked. He looked at Tang Jin carefully and found that Tang Jin was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't look like an ordinary person who came here to have fun. In addition, he couldn't see through Tang Jin's cultivation … Was he a master of the Human Tribe, and a master of refining elixirs?
In an instant, the shopkeeper looked at Tang Jin in a different way. It could be said that he was in awe. He didn't even speak to Tang Jin as casually as before, but with a touch of respect. He nodded and said, "Senior, please wait for a moment. I'll contact other shops. If it doesn't work, I'll ask them to contact the main shop in the Shennong City. We'll definitely find a way to help you."
In the shopkeeper's heart, Tang Jin was a senior master of the Human Tribe, the backbone of the Human Tribe. Since he needed the Yuan Honglian urgently, it must be a big deal! Since he came to the Shennong Tribe, he should get their help!
Among other things, he couldn't let the senior work for the Human Tribe and be bitterly disappointed!
After seeing Tang Jin nod, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran to a nearby room and took out a Voice-transmitting Charm to contact him.
"The Shennong shop in the Jiao Hu City? Have you heard of a panacea called Yuan Honglian? It's used for refining elixirs. Yes, yes, yes, a senior of the Human Tribe came to my shop and asked the Shennong Tribe to help him find the Yuan Honglian. He said he needed it urgently. That's right. Then help me ask around. We must help this senior! Well, you continue to contact him, and I'll contact him again. "
"The Shennong shop in the Jiao Hu City? You … "
The shopkeeper ran to the side and communicated for more than an hour. After that, he ran back to the counter with his forehead full of sweat. He said happily to Tang Jin, "Senior, is the Great Abyssal Lotus you mentioned a type of flower? It's very similar to the red peony, but the stamen of the flower will always seep out drops of red liquid, just like blood?"
"Yes!" Tang Jin slammed the counter, startling the shopkeeper. Tang Jin couldn't wait to ask, "Have you found the Yuan Honglian? Where is it? I'll go now! "
Although the Farmer God Tribe had Shennong who was proficient in elixirs, Tang Jin had only come to the Farmer God shop to try his luck. He had come with the mentality of giving medicine to a dead horse. He did not expect that the shopkeeper would really help him find news of Yuan Honglian!
"Calm down, calm down, senior, listen to me slowly." After comforting Tang Jin, the shopkeeper said with a smile, "The Yuan Honglian is not an ordinary panacea. It's a top panacea close to the immortal panacea. It can only be found in the main city of the Shennong Tribe, Shennong City. We contacted him for a long time, and finally we got the news of the Yuan Honglian after contacting the Shennong Main Store in the Shennong City. The Yuan Honglian in the Shennong City was just picked by Sir Yan Emperor not long ago. He wanted to use it for alchemy, but it seemed that he was short of some main material, so he put it on hold. Senior, if you want this Yuan Honglian, I'm afraid you have to go to the Shennong City by yourself. "
"I have to go to Yan Emperor's place?" Tang Jin frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's not a problem, but I don't know the way. Which direction should I go to the Shennong City? Oh, I don't know how long I've been in seclusion. When I was in seclusion, there weren't so many cities in the Human Tribe. "
After saying a few words, in order to cover up his embarrassment of not knowing the way, Tang Jin began to brag again, which made Xiao Yu roll her eyes.
However, the shopkeeper didn't know Tang Jin's background. After hearing Tang Jin's words, he believed that Tang Jin was a senior master of the Human Tribe. Seeing that Tang Jin didn't know the way, he enthusiastically ran back to the house and took out a picture scroll. He handed it to Tang Jin and said, "Senior, it doesn't matter if you don't know the way. I have a picture scroll with the general directions of the cities in the Shennong Tribe. Although it's not very detailed, it's enough for you to find the way. Senior, you just need to follow the picture scroll. It'll take you two months to get there. "
After receiving the picture scroll from the shopkeeper, Tang Jin unfolded it and looked at it. He said with satisfaction, "Well, not bad. It'll take me three or four days to get there, right? It won't be long, but it's not that far. I'll take this picture scroll. How much is it? "
Fly? This time, the shopkeeper was completely shocked. Only Daluo Jinxian could fly! This senior was already Daluo Jinxian? Even higher than Daluo Jinxian? Senior, the top master of the Human Tribe!
"No, no, you're a master of the Human Tribe. You're the backbone of the Human Tribe. You've done a lot for the Human Tribe. It's just a picture scroll. How dare I take your Spirit Stones?" When the shopkeeper heard that Tang Jin wanted to pay, he quickly waved his hand and said.
In fact, the picture scroll of the Shennong Tribe was not as worthless as the shopkeeper said. The shopkeeper only had one picture scroll of the Shennong Tribe. When he saw that Tang Jin, this "senior", couldn't find the way, he gave it to Tang Jin. He was just trying to help him. He really didn't want to earn any money from Tang Jin.
However, the more the shopkeeper acted like this, the more embarrassed Tang Jin was to take it for free. In fact, he was not a senior of the Human Tribe at all. Even if he was, how could he take something from such a simple person for free? That would be too undignified of a senior.
"Alright, just take it since I'm giving it to you. Since you call me Senior and have helped me so much, I won't feel at ease if I don't give you some reward." Tang Jin casually tossed a spirit stone to the shopkeeper as she spoke, then turned around and left.
The shopkeeper subconsciously took the Spirit Stone. When he came to his senses, Tang Jin had already walked out of the shop and directly flew away.
An Upper Level Spirit Stone! The shopkeeper stood at the door of the shop and stared at the Spirit Stone in his hand in a daze. Then, he looked at Tang Jin and Xiao Yu in the sky, who were gradually disappearing into the distance. He was so moved that he couldn't speak. "This is a real senior master! He's so kind and generous. He's really worthy of being the pillar and model of the Human Tribe! "
Tang Jin didn't know that this day would become the most unforgettable day in the shopkeeper's life. He knew that one day, when he was too old to walk, he still told his grandson about what had happened in the past. "At that time, grandpa was also a person who had seen a master. Grandpa still remembered that the master had come to look for a kind of top spiritual grass called the Great Yuan Lotus. He wanted to use it for alchemy. A master! And he was at least a master above the level of Daluo Jinxian! " "At that time, grandpa just asked for some information for him and gave him a map of the Shennong tribe. He gave grandpa an Upper Level Spirit Stone!" "That's an Upper Level Spirit Stone, which is worth 10,000 Lower Level Spirit Stones!" "Of course, grandpa couldn't accept it. The senior master had done so much for the survival and reproduction of the Human Tribe. We just helped him a little. How could we accept his Spirit Stone?" "However, when grandpa chased after him with the Spirit Stone and wanted to return it to the senior, the senior had already flown far away!" "Grandpa's memory is getting worse and worse. He has forgotten a lot of things in the past, but he still remembers the heroic posture of the senior flying in the sky …" "That Upper Level Spirit Stone, grandpa didn't touch it and kept it. He wanted to return it to the senior when he was lucky enough to meet him again … But he never met him again …"
These were all stories for later. At this time, Tang Jin was flying west with Xiao Yu, towards the main city of the Shennong tribe, Shennong City.
"Boss, the Human Tribe in the Untainted Land is really good. They're not like the Human Tribe in the later generations, who are cunning and insidious," Xiao Yu said to Tang Jin beside her while flying.
"Yes," Tang Jin nodded in agreement. He didn't know what to think, but he looked into the distance and said, "It would be good if the Human Tribe could always reproduce like this. But human nature, human nature, hehe, this … "
