The next evening, at the herb-picking office.
"Sister Wang, this is my harvest today."
Yi Yun placed the herb basket on the stone platform in a well-behaved manner.
Wang lazily glanced at the light herb basket. She only needed to stretch out her hand to weigh the herbs in it to estimate Yi Yun's harvest.
The woman surnamed Wang snorted lightly.
"It's getting lesser and lesser. How disappointing!"
The herbs in the herb basket definitely did not exceed 80 dragon scale runes.
In the first few days, Yi Yun handed in 200 dragon scale runes worth of herbs every day. For a rookie to hand in so many herbs, Wang was amazed.
Although this standard was not comparable to Zhong Yi's, it was not that far off. In two months, he had earned at least 15,000 dragon scale runes. With such a result, it was enough to prove his keen observation and perception. The Divine City would likely give him an additional reward.
But Wang never expected that starting from ten days ago, Yi Yun's dragon scale runes had been halved. It was about a hundred a day, and three days ago, it was even more ridiculous. He was only receiving 70-80 a day!
Over the years, Wang had been in charge of the herb-picking office. She had seen many cultivators with keen perception. They handed in more and more herbs. She had never seen someone like Yi Yun, who handed in less and less herbs!
If Yi Yun's luck was good at the beginning, then it did not make sense for his luck to turn bad later on. How could luck be concentrated in the first few days?
Then it could only be that Yi Yun was not working hard.
Upon thinking of this, Wang's face turned gloomy.
It was fine if you did not have talent. Talent was given to you by your parents. It was hard to change.
For those without talent, it was fine if they were mediocre. Because no matter how hard they worked, they would never become a peerless genius.
But people with talent. Yet, they wasted their talent. Especially when they were in the Tai Ah Divine City, they took up the Tai Ah Divine City's resources without working hard. Such a person was scum in Wang's eyes.
There were many people in this world who wanted to become strong but did not have the opportunity. You had the opportunity but did not cherish it. You wasted resources. It was unforgivable!
The Tai Ah Divine City's resources were provided to those who wanted to hunt desolate beasts. The resources of heroes who protected the country were not for you to squander. In the future, you could get a noble title and enjoy wealth.
"Eighty-two dragon scale runes! It's getting lesser by the day. If you are willing to wallow in degeneration, no one can save you. If you want to waste your days in the Divine wilderness campgrounds, I advise you to scram as soon as possible! "
The woman surnamed Wang scolded him harshly. Without giving Yi Yun any face, she threw out Yi Yun's identity token, nearly hitting Yi Yun in the face!
"Uh …"
When Yi Yun received his token, he was rendered speechless.
He originally wanted to ask the Wang woman about thunder and fire energy, but after seeing her attitude, he didn't want to ask.
"What are you still standing there for?" Wang snapped when she saw Yi Yun still standing there.
"It's fine …" Yi Yun said helplessly. Behind Yi Yun. It was Zhao Qingcheng and the others.
Zhao Qingcheng was also curious why Yi Yun had gained so little.
"Little brother Yi Yun. Why are you picking fewer and fewer herbs? "
"It's nothing. My luck is bad, and I've been a little tired recently …" Yi Yun shrugged and gave a vague answer. He naturally could not say that he was preparing to capture a primordial herb.
"Sister Qingcheng, I want to get some powerful thunder and fire spells. Do you know where I can get them?"
"Thunder and fire spells?" Zhao Qingcheng was slightly stunned. She did not know why Yi Yun wanted to do this.
"Yes. As long as I can use it, the stronger the better! "
Zhao Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "The Tai Ah Divine City has a place that specializes in selling talismans. These talismans are made by masters in the Tai Ah Divine City. When warriors are hunting desolate beasts, they can use the array to activate the power within if their lives are in danger."
"Oh? There's such a thing? "Yi Yun's eyes lit up. This was in line with his requirements.
"Yes, the Divine wilderness is indeed too dangerous. There are some desolate beasts that cultivators cannot deal with. Without a life-saving talisman, there will be even more deaths. However, the Divine City does not encourage us to rely on talismans. Hence, the talismans are extremely expensive. Some of the more powerful talismans can be bought for 1000 or even 2000 dragon scale runes."
1000 dragon scale runes was enough to keep a rookie busy for a month or two. Even veteran cultivators would have to run around for a few days.
Using such a talisman was equivalent to wasting a few days of hard work.
"I got it. Bring me there …"
The place that sold talismans in the Tai Ah Divine City was in the middle of a square.
In the middle of the square, there was a huge array. In the middle of the array was a pagoda building. The pagoda's top was shining.
This pagoda was nine stories tall. On the door of the pagoda, there were three large words: Ten Thousand Pagoda!
"Connect your spiritual energy to the pagoda and you will be able to find the talisman you want. Pay the dragon scale runes and you will get it."
Zhao Qingcheng explained from the side. Ever since Yi Yun helped her, she was always happy to help Yi Yun. If Yi Yun needed anything, she would bring it to him. She would also explain in detail the rules and things he needed to pay attention to.
Yi Yun closed his eyes. Instantly, in his spiritual world, a gigantic wall appeared. On the wall, there were all sorts of tiny things pasted on it.
Not only were there talismans, there were also elixirs, desolate bone relics, disk arrays, etc. It was a dazzling lineup that was too much for the eye to take in!
Yi Yun realized that just the wall he was looking at had more than ten thousand items.
Moreover, there were walls like this, one after another. At a glance, there were probably dozens of such walls!
"There are so many of them!" Yi Yun could not help but say.
"Of course there are many. This Ten Thousand Pagoda is the only trading center in the Tai Ah Divine City! Not only are there items made by masters, there are also items made by cultivators. Many cultivators' main occupation is not combat, but talisman creation, alchemy or Desolate Heaven Master. The elixirs and talismans they refine will be sold in the Ten Thousand Pagoda. It is very convenient. "
"Besides that, some cultivators will kill desolate beasts. Some of the desolate beast materials are rare, and the Divine City's unified purchase price does not satisfy them. At this time, they will choose to sell it in the Ten Thousand Pagoda. Those Desolate Heaven Masters and alchemists will buy it when they see it. Everyone will put their items in the Ten Thousand Pagoda, so there are probably about a million treasures here. "
"So that's how it is." After hearing Zhao Qingcheng's explanation, Yi Yun felt relieved. With such a large array, it was indeed very convenient to trade.
Yi Yun used his spiritual energy to explore and quickly found a wall filled with talismans. There were colorful talismans engraved with all sorts of strange arrays and runes. Some of these talismans were made of desolate beast skin, while others were made of yellow paper. The prices were also very different.
The cheapest ones only cost about a dozen dragon scale runes.
These talismans were meant for rookies, so Yi Yun did not think much of them.
He only chose items that were related to lightning and fire, and they had to be made by a master.
Finally, Yi Yun saw something. It was a round bead about the size of a longan. It looked like it was made of pure metal.
The bead's surface was covered with strange runes that looked like a desolate beast totem. Just by using his spiritual energy to interact with the bead, Yi Yun felt a murderous aura. It was as if his spiritual energy was being sucked into the bead.
This made Yi Yun's heart skip a beat. He looked at the bead's introduction.
Divine Hellion Bead!
The core was a rare desolate beast relic. The relic's surface was engraved with ancient runes. This was an offensive treasure made by a master. It could only be used once. By throwing the Divine Hellion Bead and using Yuan Qi to detonate it, one could trigger the lightning and fire powers within.
A Divine Hellion Bead cost 2000 dragon scale runes. The wealth that Yi Yun had accumulated over the past month had shrunk by half!
"So expensive!"
Yi Yun licked his lips. Treasures of this level were probably something only those senior cultivators who were ranked at the top of the ranking would prepare one or two, just in case they needed them in the future.
For a rookie to be equipped with such a treasure, it would probably cause people's jaws to drop.
After Yi Yun chose the Divine Hellion Bead, it was wrapped in a blob of light. It flew out of the Ten Thousand Pagoda and into Yi Yun's hands. Yi Yun casually placed it into a jade box he had prepared and placed it in his bag.
Zhao Qingcheng watched from the side. She did not know what was inside the blob of light, but she did not ask further as it was a life-saving measure used by others.
One Divine Hellion Bead was not enough for Yi Yun!
Yi Yun chose and chose. There were many things he wanted, but his dragon scale runes were limited. After choosing another two or three items, he spent them all.
A few treasures had cost Yi Yun nearly a month's worth of gains. He had really staked it all on one throw!
If he failed to capture the primordial herb, then Yi Yun would not be able to recover for a long time. If that happened, he would have to honestly pick herbs to break the record. His movement technique and archery skills would have to be put aside.
After the preparations were done, Yi Yun applied for a seven-day period of continuous herb-picking from Wang.
The so-called continuous herb-picking period meant that he would not return at night. He would eat and sleep on the herb mountain for seven consecutive days!
Many cultivators only picked herbs in the day and cultivated at night. Yi Yun was the same in the past, but this time, to capture the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, Yi Yun needed sufficient time.
"Seven days of continuous herb-picking?" Wang glanced at Yi Yun and sneered. This kid did not know what he was talking about. He could not even last a day of herb-picking, and he wanted seven days? How many days could he last?
"Can you fill your herb basket with seven days of herb-picking? Up to you! "
Wang could not be bothered. She was not related to Yi Yun in any way. If he worked hard, she would help him a little. As for those who fell into depravity, she did not care.
The seven-day period was approved. Early in the morning, Yi Yun carried his herb basket and stepped onto the teleportation array towards the herb mountain.
Victory or defeat depended on this!
