Yingbao and Xuanwu collected medicinal herbs along the way and soon left the forest.
In order to avoid the monster, Xuanwu asked Tianyanshu to calculate continuously, which consumed dozens of spirit stones.
Finally we arrived at Suzaku City before dark.
Yingbao put away the Xuanwu and limped towards the city gate.
There were also members of the Chen family among the monks guarding the city. When they saw Yingbao, they were surprised and asked, "Eleventh sister, why aren't you with the team?"
Yingbao smiled at this person and said weakly: "We encountered monsters and got separated from them."
The gatekeeper understood: "No wonder I saw the master hurried out of the city. He must have gone to rescue someone. Eh? How did you come back alone?"
When they went out as a team to collect elixirs, there must be one person who prepared a magic flying weapon. Otherwise, if they had to travel thousands of miles and rely solely on their own skills to travel, they would be dead if they encountered monsters.
"I met a kind-hearted person who walked me to a nearby place before leaving." Yingbao said.
She had searched the body and found that it did not have any spiritual weapon on it. It only had a backpack containing a dagger, a small chisel, a few primary spiritual herbs, and some dry food and water.
It's no wonder. He has just established his foundation and hasn't started fasting. He may not die without food, but he will definitely be weak.
The gatekeeper nodded and said, "Then you should go back quickly and find someone to treat him first." When the head of the family and his family come back, the clan pharmacist will definitely be busy and will have no time to take care of these illegitimate sons and daughters.
Yingbao nodded, slowly walked into the city, hired a beast cart, and headed to the Chen family.
The Chen family is also one of the most famous immortal cultivation families in Zhuque City. Every adult male member of their family has more than two women, and they keep giving birth to children. If the children are qualified, they will be trained with emphasis. If they have no spiritual roots or have poor spiritual roots, they can only become cannon fodder.
People like Chen Shuyuan, whose spiritual roots are neither good nor bad, finally cultivated to the stage of building a foundation, but made no further progress after that.
Therefore, Chen Shuyuan was marginalized by the family and had to constantly complete family tasks in exchange for cultivation resources.
This time she was injured and had to pay out of her own pocket to seek treatment from the pharmacist in the tribe.
Yingbao wore Chen Shuyuan's badge on her waist. She walked into the family pharmacist's yard, went to the herbal medicine cabinet, took out a medium-level spiritual medicine and handed it over: "I'm injured, and I have several broken bones. I need to find a spiritual pharmacist to set my bones."
The disciple who collected the medicine looked at her, took the herbs and carefully identified them, then gave her a sign: "Go find Doctor Meng."
Yingbao took the sign and limped to Doctor Meng's yard.
Doctor Meng is a spiritual master who specializes in treating bone injuries, but his fees are high, and you can't hire him without a mid-level spiritual medicine.
An hour later, Yingbao's leg and rib injuries improved rapidly.
Just rest at home for two days and you will be back to normal.
Yingbao sighed: "How did he do that? I wish I had such a powerful spell."
Xuanwu said calmly: "He has both water and wood spiritual roots, and he practices the Changchun Technique. You don't have wood spiritual roots, so you can't practice it."
"Okay." Yingbao returned to Chen Shuyuan's residence, a small courtyard with nine rooms where nine female monks lived.
There were not many people in the yard at this moment, and no one knew where they had gone in the middle of the night.
Yingbao walked into Chen Shuyuan's room and lay on her back on the small wooden bed, complaining in her heart: "After all, she is the Fifth Elder's concubine's daughter, but the place she lives in is like a servant's quarters."
She took out a bag of dry food from the Divine Palace and ate it, then drank some water and forced herself to fall asleep.
After a good sleep on the first morning, Yingbao saw the light outside the window and got up quickly.
At this moment, the pain in the body has disappeared and his cultivation has become much more stable.
Yingbao cleaned up Chen Shuyuan's room, took out some clothes and shoes, and put some books on cultivation into the divine palace.
Then walk out of the yard and head to the market.
If you want to sneak into the family's forbidden area, you can't just break in by force, you must use some concealment magic tools.
Once she takes away the innate spiritual vein, it will definitely cause a stir, and several ancestors of the Chen family will definitely come out, so she also has to prepare a spiritual treasure that can help her escape.
It would be best if it was a high-level spiritual treasure that could escape over a thousand miles at a time.
Yingbao walked into a treasure shop and asked about hidden magic tools.
The waiter looked at her and said, "A beginner-level concealment magic weapon costs one hundred middle-grade spirit stones; a mid-level one costs three hundred, and a high-level one thousand."
Yingbao was shocked.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I want a beginner's one."
No matter what grade of magic weapon, it is just like a child's toy in front of Nascent Soul and Incarnation cultivators. As long as they use their spiritual sense to scan it, no matter whether you use a magic weapon or a magic treasure, they will be able to see it all at a glance.
You just need to hide it from the sight of pedestrians on the road or ordinary guards. As for the rest, you can only leave it to Xuanwu to cover it.
The waiter handed Yingbao a basic-level concealment magic weapon, and then took the one hundred medium-grade spirit stones she placed on the counter.
Yingbao spent another ten mid-grade spirit stones to buy a cloak of concealment. She put it on, put on the hood, and pulled up the mask to block the spiritual sense of cultivators below the Jindan stage from prying eyes.
Then she put on a black cloak and went to another treasure house to buy a high-level escape magic treasure, which cost her two thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
Yingbao endured the pain and paid the money, then went to the market to buy a lot of spiritual rice, spiritual wheat, and some spiritual plant seeds.
I walked around the market again and bought a few storage bags before stopping.
He looked at his three boxes of spirit stones and found only two were left.
Then she turned into an alley, and when she came out the other side, she had changed her clothes.
Shortly after returning to Chen's house, someone notified everyone to gather at the square.
Yingbao followed the crowd to a huge martial arts training ground and saw a lot of people standing there, more than a thousand people.
This is only a part of the Chen family. The rest are either out on missions or are in other positions and did not come.
The head of the Chen family stood on the high platform and began to speak: "The reason why I called everyone here today is because someone from the Wuji Sect wants to select a few disciples with excellent qualifications from our family. If any of you want to participate in the election, please go to the mission office to sign up. The assessment will begin in three days."
When the people in the audience heard this, they began to talk among themselves.
Some people are eager to try, while others sneer at it.
Because every applicant has to pay one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Once you register, the money is non-refundable regardless of whether you take the exam or not.
"Humph! You always say fair competition, but in the end, you still get the job without a prior appointment. I don't want to waste money on giving someone warmth."
"That's right! I've taken the exam countless times, but what was the result? I got first place in the exam, but I still had to interview. And it turned out that those who passed the interview were all internal candidates."
"I think the chieftain has gone crazy because of poverty. He is even calculating our little money."
"Hey! Don't underestimate this money. Each of us pays 100 yuan for the registration fee. How much is that for 2,000 people? 200,000 yuan? The head of the family keeps saying that this sect or that sect is recruiting people, but it turns out that they are all scammers!"
"That's right!"
“I’m not signing up this time!”
"I won't report it either!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and when the patriarch finished his speech, they all dispersed.
