Jianghu rules. When you are not familiar with the place, find a restaurant and sit down for a while. Without the time to make a cup of tea, you will be able to know about everything that has happened in the area recently.
After Kong Yun and Emperor Demon God handed over the spirit stones at the city gate, they went straight to the busiest restaurant in the city.
"There are indeed many experts in Central City." Emperor Demon God whispered to Kong Yun. Although no one had eavesdropped on the two of them, it was better to be careful when leaving the house.
'"Hehe, the industry of alchemists is not as simple as making money. Especially in this space, all strength depends on pills. Do you believe that I am the only Tier 4 alchemist? As long as I want, there are a large number of experts willing to follow me." Although Kong Yun did not major in pill refining, he was still very proud to be able to step into and slowly understand the depth and vastness of the pill refining path.
"Tsk, what's so amazing about it? I'll study it when I'm free. Maybe I'm still a pill refining genius." The Emperor Demon God said resentfully. Naturally, he was joking.
Kong Yun pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring Emperor Demon God and heading straight for the restaurant.
"Little fellow, buy that black stone." Within Kong Yun's body, the old dragon turtle spoke once again.
"Toad?!" Kong Yun was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction the old dragon turtle had pointed at him in its divine sense. What entered his eyes was only an ordinary black stone.
Kong Yun frowned handsomely. The old dragon turtle had lived for tens of thousands of years, so he was naturally inferior to what he had seen and heard. However, he couldn't see anything strange about the stone.
After spending so much time together, Kong Yun and the Emperor Demon God had already formed a tacit understanding. Looking in the direction of Kong Yun's gaze, the Emperor Demon God knew what Kong Yun was thinking.
"Is there a problem?" Emperor Demon God asked softly.
Kong Yun realized that his goal was too obvious and immediately retracted his thoughts. Kong Yun did this not because he was afraid that the Emperor Demon God would discover his secret, but because he was afraid that others would covet his things.
Kong Yun calmed down and said slowly, "I'll buy that stone. Wait for me here."
Black Rock was currently at a stall in the suburbs a thousand meters away from the city gate. The owner of the stall was an old man with a beard and flowers. His pair of eyes were tightly closed, and he was breathing air evenly. If he hadn't been sitting on the stall, Kong Yun would have thought that he was a supreme expert.
"This, this, this ... I want all of them." Kong Yun continuously lit up the rest of the stalls except for the blackstones and said.
"Really?!" The old man opened his eyes. It was as if he had seen a local rich man. He relied on this to make a living. If someone wanted to buy all of it, the old man would naturally be happy.
"Yes." Lin Lin nodded. He took out a few bags of spirit stones from his spatial ring. They were all taken from the Flying Eagle Tower experts. Kong Yun didn't know how many of them he had.
"Thank you, thank you." The old man kept on muttering as he took the money bag that Kong Yun had handed him.
Kong Yun pretended to leave first, then turned around and said, "I've already asked for so much. Give me this black stone as a gift." Kong Yun pointed at the black stone the old dragon turtle was talking about with a trace of disdain on his face.
"Good talk, good talk." Without any doubt, the old man handed over the blackstone.
All of this was planned by Lin Lin. If he came up with a high price for the blackstone, it would definitely arouse the old man's suspicion. If he sat down to start the price, he would be in a dilemma. If he attracted the attention of the other experts, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in this city.
Kong Yun didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He carried his spoils of war and left the stall.
The old man looked at Kong Yun's departing figure, his stooped figure straightening up a bit, revealing a meaningful smile.
"I hope this brat can discover the use of this blackstone." The old man whispered a few times, and with a wave of his white robe, he disappeared without leaving a single ripple in his space.
"Old Dragon Turtle, what's the use of this black stone?" Kong Yun was still puzzled that the blackstone was too easy to come by, but since he had obtained it, it was meaningful to think about it.
The old dragon turtle's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement. This was something Kong Yun had never seen before.
"The vast The universe is boundless and vast, but do you know that the The universe was just a point hundreds of millions of years ago?"
"One point?" Kong Yun was shocked. This was the first time he had heard of this.
"That's right. After years of baptism, this point contains unparalleled power. Finally, one day, it exploded. Since then, the The universe has been born, and all kinds of species have competed for hegemony. It was at that time that the original God appeared in the world and constructed your human civilization." The old dragon turtle seemed to be recounting its past, as if it had seen the world-shattering scenery.
"Stop pretending and continue." Kong Yun was helpless. Although this old dragon turtle had lived for a long time, if he had seen the birth of the The universe, Kong Yun would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
The turtle revealed an awkward expression. The old dragon shrank his head and continued, "My ancestors told me not to be anxious. Legend has it that when the The universe was born, a strange blackstone descended from the sky and sat on the east coast of the earth. It was shaped like a human and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth every day. After receiving the crystallization of the sun and the moon ..."
"What happened afterwards?" Kong Yun asked, his face full of curiosity.
Just as the old dragon turtle was about to continue speaking, the turtle's body suddenly convulsed violently. The turtle's shell actually felt like it was about to tear apart.
"Ah! I don't dare, I don't dare." The old dragon turtle lay there, its eyes filled with infinite fear, as if it was begging for mercy for something.
"What's going on?!" Kong Yun said anxiously. All of a sudden, he didn't know what had happened.
"Your current strength is too low. There is no need for you to know this." The old dragon turtle said resentfully. Then, it retracted its head into the turtle shell and ignored Kong Yun.
Kong Yun gently patted his head. Kong Yun understood the Old Dragon Turtle's temper. If he was unwilling to say anything, it would be useless for him to force him to ask. Since that was the case, it was better to take a step and see.
After putting the blackstone into his spatial ring, Kong Yun beckoned the Emperor Demon God to leave the suburbs.
Compared to the bustling outskirts of the city, the center of Zhongcheng City was even more bustling and lively. Kong Yun carefully released his divine sense and sprinkled it all over the city. He discovered that even if his soul had already reached the Undying Immortal Realm, it would be difficult to penetrate some buildings. Kong Yun could vaguely sense the existence of a powerful formation.
"The Central City is really a place where dragons are hidden and tigers are crouching." Kong Yun whispered. Qiang Hu only told himself that there were many alchemists in the middle city, but he never told himself that array mages were so powerful.
Kong Yun and Emperor Demon God found the hotel, ordered a few dishes in the hall, and listened carefully to the conversations of the surrounding people.
"Have you heard? There's a big joyous occasion in our Midtown."
"Really? What's going on? Tell me."
"You don't even know that. Our Central City's Shu Tian Sect's Young Master is getting married. I heard that the little wife is very smart. Even if a deity sees her, her little face will be tempted. Or is it the daughter of some big family? I heard that her name is Xiang'er."
"Really?"
"Boom!" Before anyone could finish speaking, Kong Yun, who was sitting at the side, could not suppress the anger in his chest and casually slapped his palm on the table.
Everyone looked at Kong Yun with puzzlement.
"Kong Yun, calm down." The nearby Emperor Demon God was a little confused. He didn't know what had happened to Kong Yun, but he stopped Kong Yun's actions at the first possible moment.
"When is the wedding date?" Kong Yun asked the person who had just spoken with a gloomy face. The killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
"One ... one month later." Even Kong Yun didn't know that after being in Evil City for so long, his body had unconsciously been stained with a trace of violence. However, he usually didn't notice it. Now that he heard Xiang'er's news, this aura was emitted directly.
The person opposite Kong Yun was also a Sage Level 9 expert, but under Kong Yun's powerful aura, he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Do you know why the girl you mentioned married the young sect master of some sect?" Kong Yun was so angry that he didn't give any face to the Mount Shu Sect in front of so many people.
"Listen ... I heard that it's a marriage between two families ... The Mount Shu Sect can help that girl's family control the auction more firmly ..." The man trembled as he finished speaking. His crotch was wet.
With Kong Yun's understanding of Xiang'er, he instantly understood that Xiang'er was helpless. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and left the hotel. The Emperor Demon God glanced around at everyone before following.
"Kong Yun, you must calm down." The Emperor Demon God pulled Kong Yun's one-armed sleeve, his face full of anxiety. If Kong Yun couldn't think of going to Mount Shu Sect now, he would definitely come and go.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. There's still one month left. I want to become stronger!" Kong Yun was very calm, so calm that it was somewhat strange. Emperor Demon God knew that Kong Yun was the most terrifying.
"But" Emperor Demon God knew that if Kong Yun wanted to break through to the Immortal Realm, the efforts he had made to stabilize Kong Yun's foundation would be too great. Could it be that his efforts would be in vain?
Seeing the Emperor Demon God's worries, Kong Yun smiled freely. For Xiang'er's sake, these things seemed insignificant.
"You can take out that black stone and put it beside you to cultivate, but only once." The old dragon turtle opened its mouth again, and then retracted its head. No matter how Kong Yun asked, it didn't say anything.
As matters stood, Kong Yun could only die a horse and become a living horse doctor. Now, with a little more strength, he was more confident.
"Inquire where there is a place to sell herbs." Kong Yun did not forget the purpose of his trip. A large number of medicinal ingredients were very important to him now.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the two of them arrived at the Heavenly Medicine Hall, the largest medicinal pavilion in Central City. It was also the most authoritative place for the alchemists in Central City to stock up medicinal ingredients and exchange them with each other.
Entering the door, Kong Yun was attracted by the fragrance of all kinds of medicinal herbs. Not to mention using them one by one, the medicinal herbs he had never heard of were placed in the most conspicuous place.
"Sure enough, you're rich. If you put it here, you won't be afraid of being snatched away." Kong Yun said to the Emperor Demon God beside him.
"If we dare to do business, we are naturally not afraid of any evil people. Please rest assured." A clear female voice came from behind him.
