"Big brother, thank you for saving me. Since you killed him so easily, shouldn't you return this sword to me?" The young man with the surname Jiao said as he handed over the banknotes and low-grade and mid-grade crystals.
Ling Dong's expression froze, and his hand that was holding the items froze in mid-air. His right hand that was holding the sword tightened, and as the sword light surged out, the newly obtained low-grade Earth Emanation sword made a clanging sound!
Ling Dong's gaze suddenly became fierce. It didn't matter whether he got this low-grade Earth Emanation sword or not. What Ling Dong cared about was the three stalks of Doroam Grass in the Fiery Sun Grass.
However, this low-grade Earth Emanation sword was the promise that the young man with the surname Jiao had made at the critical moment. Now that he had denied it, Ling Dong felt like he was being played like a monkey!
You can ignore me and treat me as a passerby, but you can't play me like that!
Clang!
The moment the sword made a clanging sound, the terrifying murderous aura rose again.
Just as Ling Dong was about to make his move, that young man with the surname Jiao's guard knelt in front of Ling Dong with a thud, and slammed his head into the ground. With just one hit, his forehead was smashed, and blood flowed all over his face!
"My good man, my lord, please forgive me. My young master came out to train for the first time, and is young and inexperienced. Please don't be angry! The reward that I promised you for saving my life will not be lacking in any! "
After he finished speaking, Ling Dong kept kowtowing, and the sound of his head hitting the ground even caused the ground to tremble slightly! While lamenting the guard's loyalty, Ling Dong was a little worried that this guard with the surname Zhou would kowtow himself to death!
Seeing that Ling Dong didn't speak, that guard with the surname Zhou kowtowed even more hurriedly, "Please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me! Young master, quickly thank this lord, quickly! "
Perhaps he was frightened by Ling Dong's killing intent, or perhaps he had woken up. After being stunned for a few breaths, the young master surnamed Jiao knelt down in front of Ling Dong to express his gratitude!
"Sir, please forgive me. I … I was muddle-headed, muddle-headed!" Young Master Jiao apologized profusely.
"Your loyalty is commendable!" Ling Dong gently used the back of his sword to stop the guard surnamed Zhou from kowtowing. There were even pieces of flesh on the rock!
After fiercely glaring at the young master surnamed Jiao, he took the silver banknotes and mid grade jingshi. Without a word, he went to pick the Fiery Sun Grass. Of course, there was also the hidden Doro An Grass. It could be considered that he had let the young master surnamed Jiao go!
The latter shuddered under Ling Dong's cold gaze and lowered his head even more.
Ling Dong had never thought of himself as a saint, but neither was he a bloodthirsty maniac. Therefore, after saving the people today, he naturally received the reward. When the young master surnamed Jiao went back on his word, he didn't kill him with one strike!
Ling Dong felt that this young master surnamed Jiao was similar to him in his previous life. He didn't know the dangers of the world. The youth was ignorant!
In his previous life, Ling Dong had encountered many people. Among these people, a portion of them wanted to kill Ling Dong, but there was also a portion that gave Ling Dong a chance to live or become stronger. Ling Dong felt that he could give this youth a chance!
Moreover, martial artists who killed on sight were not martial artists, but demonic beasts!
After carefully harvesting the three stalks of Doroam Grass, as well as the large clump of valuable Fiery Sun Grass, Ling Dong quickly left this troublesome place.
Of course, before leaving, he searched the five corpses for items. The spoils of war from martial artists were sometimes very valuable.
For example, he obtained two low-level Xiantian weapons and a mid-level Xiantian weapons. At least, Ling Dong didn't lack a sword to use the Alkaid Powder!
The other rewards were simple. A few thousand taels of silver, together with half a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills and Hemostasis Pills. Martial artists had to spend a lot of money traveling outside. They had prepared Hemostasis Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, and leather armor.
After Ling Dong left, the guard whose forehead was bleeding from kowtowing helped his young master up and said softly, "Young Master, you can't underestimate that person just because he's at Xiantian Realm Level Three. We couldn't handle five martial artists, but they were killed by him. Is this the power of someone at Xiantian Realm Level Three?"
The young master with the surname Jiao said sullenly, "But … but that Lower Grade Earth Emanations Silver Moon Sword is my father's favorite sword. He only managed to bring it out after much pestering in the mountains. Now that he has lost it …"
"So what if it's gone? As long as you're alive! Old Master doesn't want you to lose your life for the Silver Moon Sword! Moreover, that person just now is our savior. Young Master, if we go back on our words, we will be looked down upon by others! "The guard surnamed Zhou advised.
That Young Master Jiao wasn't willing to listen to such a lecture. His face darkened as he said, "Enough, let's go! I brought you guys out, but who knew you were so useless! "
Hearing this, the guard surnamed Zhou smiled bitterly and helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that you wanted to provoke some Xiantian pinnacle level Wind Li Beast, would five of our eight brothers have died, and the remaining three would all be injured?
After hastily tidying up the corpses of their fallen brothers, Guard Zhou brought Young Master Jiao down the mountain in the middle of the night!
As for Ling Dong, after obtaining the Doroam Grass and leaving this place, because it was already late and he had to cultivate at a high mountain peak at night, he climbed towards the highest point of this mountain peak.
However, after a few months of training outside, his body had adapted to this kind of high intensity activity. His climbing speed was very fast, and some of the techniques that he had trained in his previous life were gradually reappearing.
But even so, by the time he reached this mountain peak, the sky was already completely dark. After casually eating some dry rations, Ling Dong didn't immediately start cultivating.
Instead, he set up a tent and lit a candle in the tent. Taking out a map, he carefully looked at it.
Now that he had found the Doroam Grass, the main ingredient of the Xingluo Pill, the antidote pill that could pass through the starlight fog in the Fallen Star Valley, the next step was to put the refinement of the Xingluo Pill on the agenda.
In his previous life, the Xingluo Pill was a special type of antidote pill. It belonged to the category of no grade and was very difficult to refine. It could be completed by a high-grade alchemist. Therefore, refining it wasn't a problem. What Ling Dong needed now was to go to a city to purchase some supplementary ingredients and then rent a good quality furnace to refine the pill!
There was no other way. All alchemists could only use a special method to condense evil fire when their cultivation reached the peak of the Earth Emanations Realm. Then, they could use the evil fire to refine pills. At that time, the alchemist could completely abandon the furnace and refine pills anytime and anywhere!
However, Ling Dong couldn't do it now. To refine pills now, he needed a furnace and earth fire!
Of course, the best choice was to return to South Mountain City and use his own furnace to refine pills. But that would be a waste of time! Ling Dong had already been in Three Star Mountain for nearly a month. To return to the Ling family, it would take at least three months. A round trip would take half a year.
Therefore, the most suitable method was to find a city to rent a furnace. However, he couldn't go to a normal city. Only the rich and powerful families had earth fire furnaces there. There was no guarantee of safety!
Opening the map, Ling Dong compared his current location on the map. After a few breaths, a city marked with an alchemy furnace appeared in front of Ling Dong's eyes. Moreover, it didn't look far. It might not even take ten days to travel.
The city marked with an alchemy furnace on the map represented one thing. In that city, there was the official alchemist management organization of the Yaoguang Empire, the Apothecary Manor!
The Apothecary Manor was specially built for alchemists. As long as one became a low-grade alchemist, one could join the Yaoguang Empire's Apothecary Manor. In addition to receiving a large monthly salary, one could also enjoy certain privileges in the Yaoguang Empire and even other countries on the continent!
However, not all cities had Apothecary Manors. It should be said that most cities didn't have Apothecary Manors.
This was because one of the conditions for the establishment of Apothecary Manors was to have rich underground fire veins under the city. Only then could a large amount of earth fire be drawn out to build an earth fire alchemy room. Only a city with a large number of earth fire alchemy rooms could establish an Apothecary Manor!
Apothecary Manors didn't have many restrictions on alchemists. Other than purchasing commonly used elixirs, it was also a place for alchemists to refine elixirs!
However, all alchemists who joined the Empire's Apothecary Manor and enjoyed the privileges and monthly salary had to unconditionally rush to the nearest Apothecary Manor during wartime or when the Empire called for them to refine strategic elixirs for the Empire. This was the main purpose of the establishment of Apothecary Manors!
Of course, Apothecary Manors also did business with medicinal herbs and elixirs. They also rented out earth fire alchemy rooms to alchemists who weren't under the Apothecary Manors. Of course, the price wasn't low. However, it was safe and stable. When Ling Dong was refining elixirs in his previous life, most of the elixirs were refined in Apothecary Manors!
"Flaming Cloud City?" Ling Dong frowned slightly when he saw the name of the city marked with the Apothecary Manor's imprint.
Ling Dong vaguely remembered that this Flaming Cloud City seemed to be the city where the young man with the surname Jiao had introduced himself. Coincidentally, there was an Apothecary Manor in Flaming Cloud City. Could it be that the father of the young man with the surname Jiao was really the Prefect of the Apothecary Manor in Flaming Cloud City?
Every Apothecary Manor would appoint a Prefect to manage the Apothecary Manor. Normally, the Prefect would be an alchemist, and the worst of them would be an Earth Elixir Master. Ordinary alchemists wouldn't have the qualifications.
After some consideration, Ling Dong didn't think too much about it. After all, he had saved the life of the young man with the surname Jiao. Furthermore, he was only renting an earth fire alchemy room. He would just go there quietly!
Therefore, Ling Dong decided to go to the nearby Flaming Cloud City to rent a higher quality Earth Fire Pill Room to refine pills. Furthermore, he did not have many Recovery Pills and Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills left. He needed to refine them to replenish himself!
However, before going to Flaming Cloud City to refine pills, Ling Dong planned to raise the cultivation of his Golden Battle Armor to Xiantian Realm Level Three.
After all, the cultivation effects of the Golden Battle Armor would be three to four times weaker in the city. Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to cultivate the Green Battle Armor because the Golden Battle Armor hadn't broken through yet. In Ling Dong's opinion, it would be a waste of time!
If he could break through the Golden Battle Armor to Xiantian Realm Level Three on the mountain, Ling Dong would be able to freely cultivate the Green Battle Armor in the city. He wouldn't waste any time!
Furthermore, Ling Dong had calculated that with the three to four times cultivation speed on the mountain, he would be able to break through the Golden Battle Armor in a few days!
If a person wanted to become strong, they had to learn not to waste their own time!
After making up his mind, Ling Dong walked out of the tent and found a place to hide from the wind on the mountain peak. He sat down cross-legged and circulated the second level of the Big Dipper Technique, the Art of the Broken Army. A layer of silver starlight covered Ling Dong's body. As the rotation speed of the Golden Battle Armor increased, the starlight became thicker and thicker …
