Chapter 129 Seeking Medicine
Chapter 129 Seeking Medicine
If Jiang Jiao hadn't provided the mission instructions and Ling Chen and Nan Xing hadn't been helping her to solve the maze after their awakening, it wouldn't have been so easy to get in.
But I didn't expect that the people in this valley didn't come out just to avoid disaster. And they stayed there for ten thousand years. Fortunately, there are many long-lived people in the cultivation world.
By this calculation, except for ordinary people, the others have only been passed down for more than ten generations.
It is also said that the immortal who led the Lin family to escape disaster has not appeared since the sealing of the barrier. Some say he is in seclusion, while others say he has left.
Some people speculated that they had fallen, and there were all kinds of speculations. Only the Yuhua Sect was left.
Moreover, the people here are self-sufficient and form a closed loop, so they don't need to contact the outside world at all.
"So, we have been living in peace with the outside world for thousands of years. When our ancestors led our clan here to escape disaster, they left us ancestral teachings. The outside world is in constant turmoil, so we can live in peace and avoid the world."
The village chief sighed and invited Jiang Jiao and the other two to have lunch.
In order to find out more information, Jiang Jiao and her friends stayed for lunch.
The lunch here is a little different from the outside world, perhaps because the valley is suitable for growing tea trees, and most of the animals raised are goats. Lunch is also more exquisite.
There are tea tree mushroom stewed rice and several dishes, such as braised meatballs, full moon tea, eight-treasure gourd duck, etc. Most of the dishes are sweet in taste, and there is also goat milk.
Several people sat at a small stone table in the yard. Because the table was a bit small, they divided it into two tables, one for the village chief's family and one for the three of them.
Because there were guests coming, the meals prepared were those that were only available during festivals. The villagers were simple and honest, and they hadn't seen strangers in all these years, so both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
Jiang Jiao and the others also got the information they wanted. After thanking them again and again, they argued with the village chief for a long time before they were able to get away.
The reason was that Jiang Jiao felt that even though there were vegetables and meat on the table, the village chief's family didn't look like the kind of family that could eat meat every meal. So when she left, she left some money for the village chief.
The village chief refused at first, saying that it was unacceptable for guests to pay for a meal at home. Besides, he had already paid before.
Although the currency in the cultivation world is basically spirit stones, for mortals, gold and silver are still the most popular currency. The mortals in Mingyu Valley also retain this currency unit. Most of them use gold, silver, or even copper coins.
(Note: In the conversion unit of the cultivation world, one thousand copper coins equal one silver coin, one hundred silver coins equal one gold coin, and one hundred gold coins equal one low-grade spirit stone.)
So the gap between immortals and mortals is so huge.
"Fairy, I really can't accept this money anymore. It's not right for guests to pay for meals at my home. Take it back now. Take it back now."
Jiang Jiao was not very good at this kind of thing, so she could only struggle for a while before finally exchanging the spirit stones for small silver nudes. Fortunately, Ming He had given her these as a gift for her to reward, so they came in handy.
"Village chief, take this." After saying that, he gave it to the village chief and then took Ling Chen and Nan Xing and fled away quickly.
The village chief held the silver in his hand, looked at the direction they left with tears in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, "Alas, good people! Most of the immortal cultivators are too arrogant and look down on ordinary people like them."
Normally, when people see an immortal, they are always polite, for fear of angering the immortal.
Although immortals don't care much about these ordinary people, and because of the causal relationship, they won't attack ordinary people at will, but there is still a chain of contempt.
Immortal cultivators look down on mortals, and those with higher cultivation levels look down on those with lower cultivation levels. The huge gap between heaven and earth cannot be easily made up. Speaking of which, as soon as Jiang Jiao came here, she went directly to the world's number one sect to register.
Moreover, most of the people Jiang Jiao met were truly righteous people, and with the presence of Meng Meng, she did not have a very direct feeling about these things. She only kept these dark sides in the story.
But even if she knew, she could only keep her heart and stick to her principles. Where there is sunshine in the world, there will be darkness. If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world.
When she is able, she just wants to do it with a clear conscience.
Nan Xing: "Senior Sister, let's go and join the Yuhua Sect's challenge now."
Ling Chen: "Well, I heard that the number of applicants is limited, so we have to hurry."
Every three months, the Yuhua Sect holds a trial for the entire Mingyu Valley, and those who successfully pass it can obtain the immortal herbs they need.
This is a rare opportunity for the mortals of Mingyu Valley. As for the disciples of Yuhua Sect, unless they want to obtain rare spiritual medicines, they usually have their own medicinal fields to grow, so they don’t need to participate.
The trial location is in the Yaodie Garden in the back mountain of Yuhua Sect.
As the name suggests, the Butterfly Garden is famous for its unique Butterfly Grass. Walking on this grass, you will see fluorescent butterflies dancing. This is the characteristic of Butterfly Grass. When under pressure, it will release butterfly-like fluorescent groups.
The spiritual energy of the butterfly grass is weak, but it is very ornamental and is very popular.
Jiang Jiao also wanted to rush in, otherwise if she went there too late, she might miss the registration.
"Master, let's go by flying boat. But we should keep a low profile. No outsiders have come to Mingyu Valley for such a long time. It will be safer if we can avoid attracting attention."
Ling Chen: "Okay, let's fly to a nearby place and then walk over."
The three of them rushed to the trial venue.
Because their looks were so outstanding, they prepared human skin masks just in case, and used a little trick to hide themselves in the crowd.
Butterfly Garden
There were quite a lot of people queuing up to sign up. It was estimated that everyone in Mingyu Valley had come.
Jiang Jiao and the other two were in the front and middle of the group. They also successfully signed up. The trial was scheduled for three days later. They still had time to wander around here.
With the Yuhua Sect behind it, this place is much more lively and looks like a small town.
"Take a look, take a look, the authentic fish and mutton from Mingyu Valley are delicious and inexpensive, I guarantee you will be satisfied~"
There were countless shouts and hawking from small vendors.
What a beautiful picture of fireworks and human life. Being in it, it feels like being in a flowing painting.
After walking and stopping for a while, Jiang Jiao stopped in front of a small stall.
"Sir, do you want to buy a gift? Let me tell you, this is the most popular Mingyu Immortal Tea. Even the immortals love to drink it.
Let me tell you a secret: this good tea is not available everywhere. I got the right to sell it only through my connections. These fairy teas are full of spiritual energy.
You will feel very proud when you take it back, whether you drink it yourself or give it as a gift to others."
The small vendors were introducing their products in a torrent of words.
Jiang Jiao sniffed it gently and found that it was indeed better than other teas in the cultivation world. Moreover, the price asked by the vendor was not very high.
"Then please get me a box." Jiang Jiao said.
"Okay, sir, our shop is having a promotion for the Yaodie Garden Trial. Two boxes are 10% off, and three boxes are 20% off."
Jiang Jiao was like, huh? Discount? "Then pack me three more boxes." She thought it would be nice to give it to others when she goes back. Baili Yanxia, Xiahou Yuan, and the eldest brother can also drink it when they wake up.
"Hey, sir, are you planning to give this to someone? I'm telling you, we have a big gift package with discounts. Ten boxes are half price, and there are exquisite packaging. Buy a gift box and get a tea set for free.
Look at this little tea set, isn't it beautiful?"
Wow, this tea set even has a small fish tea pet carved in the cup. It's so pretty.
No, for this tea set. Bought it.
"Then give me a set. Do you have this tea set? Ahem, I want to buy a few sets."
"Sir, no problem. Look, there are many styles of tea sets here. Please choose whatever you like."
