Of course, a palace cannot block the road. In fact, Xingyao Palace is located in a canyon. This canyon is the only way to the Northern Territory from the Nine Kingdoms of the Northern Wasteland.
This canyon is called Luoyue Gorge. According to legend, this is a high mountain. The Northern Territory ends here. It is impossible to climb this dangerous place in the world, because there is a terrible aura flowing on the mountain, and even the strong ones in the Spiritual Infant Realm will be robbed. .
But I don’t know how many years ago, the bright moon in the night sky suddenly fell and struck this high mountain, carving out a canyon, so it was named Luoyue Gorge.
It was this canyon that forcibly carved out a road. Some brave warriors entered the primitive zone through the canyon and fought against monsters. Finally, they established the Nine Kingdoms of the Northern Wilderness and expanded the territory of the Northern Territory. .
Now, the mountains are still insurmountable, and the only way is through Luoyue Gorge, so it is very lively here. Every day, a large number of warriors come out from the Nine Kingdoms and want to see outside. There are also some warriors who come back from the Northern Territory and return to their roots.
In addition, there are a large number of merchants who bring the special products of the Nine Northern Wilderness Kingdoms to the Northern Territory, and also bring back many specialties from the Northern Territory. The profits are huge, but they are also extremely dangerous, because outside the Nine Northern Wilderness Kingdoms, it is a lawless area. Yeah, robberies and killings happen all the time here.
It's only half a day's journey from here to Xingyao Palace, but this section of the road is also the most dangerous.
Fortunately, the two carriages belong to the "Storm Mercenary Group", which is a very powerful force in the Luoyue Gorge area. Generally speaking, no one dares to think of a convoy with the Storm flag.
Ling Han hugged Huniu and sat on the top of the carriage. He spent most of his previous life in the alchemy room doing research. It was only in his "later years" that he visited ancient monuments and saw a lot.
In this life, he has no intention of missing out on all kinds of wonders.
At this time, they had entered Luoyue Gorge, with towering canyon cliffs on both sides. Ling Han activated the Eye of True Sight, but still could not see the top of the mountain, but could see the fierce aura emanating from the mountain walls. .
Such an aura makes even him feel a little palpitated. In other words, even if he regains the strength of the Heavenly Realm, he has to be careful here. It seems that the legend is not just a legend, but has a certain degree of authenticity.
But what surprised Ling Han was that under the canyon were patches of medicinal fields, which were growing extremely well.
"These herbs are grown here, no one steals them?" Ling Han asked strangely.
Guangyuan also stood up and said after hearing the words: "No one dares. The medicinal fields here are planted by farmers assigned to them by Xingyao Palace. Anyone who steals medicine here will be wanted by Xingyao Palace. And the robbers are not afraid of it either." Dare, because robbers also need elixirs, and if rich people won’t sell them to you, what can you do?”
Ling Han couldn't help but laugh. Alchemists are indeed a transcendent group. No wonder all the alchemists are arrogant, because no matter how strong a warrior is, they can't live without elixirs, so they naturally get used to the alchemists.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after a while, there was a sudden quarrel from the front.
Although Ling Han didn't like to meddle in other people's business, as his cultivation level improved, his hearing naturally became stronger as well. Even if he didn't want to hear it, a quarrel floated over him.
"The price is really too low. Not only do we have no money to make, we also have to lose money!"
"Master Fu, please be merciful and charge last year's price."
"Hmph, we want to see Deacon Luo, but why is the price the same every year and getting lower every year? Does this still allow us to live as medicine farmers?"
Ling Han looked intently, his true sight easily penetrated the layers of leaves, and saw a group of medicine farmers, probably about a hundred of them, surrounding three people, the crowd was full of anger. These three people obviously have priorities. The leader is a young man in his twenties, wearing a brocade robe, full of arrogance. The other two should be errands, in their thirties, guarding the young man on both sides.
"Whether you are alive or not, what does this young master care about?" The young man snorted, "For this price, send the herbs to Xingyao Hall immediately. If there is still one herb left in the medicine field within three days, I will take care of it." Cut off his head!"
"It's too much!"
"With such a low price, if we don't work for a year, we will still have to sell our sons and daughters to pay for it!"
"How can this be done? Are you trying to force us to death?"
The medicinal farmers shouted one after another, waving their medicinal hoe one after another, looking extremely excited.
The young man in Jinyi sneered and said: "Oh, you are quite brave, you actually dare to act arrogantly in front of me! Do you want me to send out the Star Guards to arrest you all?"
Although there are many people on the medicine farmer's side, they are all ordinary people, but this young man is on the fifth level of Yongquan. He is equivalent to a group of ants surrounding an elephant, and cannot have any effect at all.
This young man used the Star Guards to scare people, but it was not unnecessary. He wanted to scare these drug farmers and work for him to make money. Otherwise, he would not have such good patience and would just kill people.
Sure enough, when the drug farmers heard the words "Star Guards", they all couldn't help but tremble. Several people immediately knelt down and said, "Young Master Fu, please give us a way out!"
"With this acquisition money, we are really going to starve to death!"
"Master Fu, please!"
More people knelt down and kowtowed to the young people, including many gray-haired old people.
"Get out!" The young man kicked out, knocking over the person in front of him, "Let me collect the herbs. In three days, if these herbs have not been delivered to Xingyao Hall, I will Send out the Star Guards and capture all of you evil people."
"Young Master Fu, are you trying to force us to death?" A few people still did not kneel down. At this time, their eyes were red and they were staring at the young man in brocade clothes fiercely.
The young man in Jinyi wiped his nose and said coldly: "Are you going to die and have nothing to do with me? If you don't let me do my job well, huh, I will make your life worse than death!"
"Remember, three days, only three days." He added, with a look of disgust on his face. In his eyes, these ordinary people who have not even entered the body refining realm are just tools that can make money for him.
If one group dies, then another group should be replaced. The most important thing is for him to make money and make big money.
Ling Han immediately understood that Xingyao Palace hired these farmers to grow herbs, and this young man was responsible for collecting them, but he lowered the purchase price below the cost price, which naturally made the farmers quit.
This man is really overbearing. He lowers the price to the point where he is driving people to death. Isn't this just trying to catch people in a desperate situation
"What an arrogant young man!" Guangyuan snorted, and with his spiritual sea level hearing, he could naturally hear it clearly. He didn't necessarily sympathize with the medicine farmers, but he felt contempt for the young man's actions. After all, it is embarrassing no matter how you look at it, for Yongquan Realm to bully some ordinary people just to make more money.
"I want to see how great he is!" He jumped down from the carriage.
Ling Han also clasped his hands behind his back and followed behind, while Liu Yutong and Li Sichan stayed in the carriage. Since even Ling Han came forward, what else could not be solved
