Chen Lin directly said the name of the red-veined ginseng, which made Bai Lingshan's eyes light up immediately.
"Master, have you seen it?"
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then took out a stick as thick as a baby's arm from his backpack. Both the leaves and the rhizomes had red lines on them.
He collected several of these things along the way. Their value was actually not too high, probably worth dozens of spirit stones in Kaiyuan City.
"Not only have I seen it, I also dug it out. But what are you going to trade with me?"
If the other party's purpose of going into the mountain was just for this, Chen Lin decided to modify the plan.
He knew very little about the outside world, so he could go out with these people and find out more information about the outside world of immortal cultivation.
Moreover, the other party, who was only at the second level of Qi training, had to take the risk of entering the mountains to search for rare treasures, so it was estimated that he could not be from any large force.
"ah!"
This time, both Bai Lingshan and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Yunyue also came forward excitedly, staring at the red-veined ginseng in Chen Lin's hand and said, "Daoyou, are you really selling this red-veined ginseng?"
"Can."
Chen Lin nodded.
Since you plan to leave with the other person, it is necessary to show appropriate goodwill.
"Then, can we trade with Spiritual Stones?"
Bai Yunyue hesitated for a moment and asked expectantly.
"Sure, fifty low-grade spirit stones!"
Chen Lin mentioned a reasonable price.
It's good to show goodwill, but you can't sell it too cheaply. He has taken a lot of risks along the way.
"real!"
Bai Yunyue and Bai Lingshan both showed expressions of disbelief, which surprised Chen Lin.
"Thank you very much for your help, Brother Lin. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
Bai Yunyue bowed very solemnly.
But then he said awkwardly: "But we came out in a hurry and didn't bring any spirit stones with us. Can you go back with us to get some?"
Immediately, he explained: "I just saw that Fellow Daoist Lin seemed to be going to Huangtu Town as well. My home is in Guyuan City, not far from Huangtu Town, so I won't delay Fellow Daoist's time."
Guyuan City
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment.
In the original owner's memory, he seemed to be from Guyuan City. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
However, the original owner had been trapped in Kaiyuan City for twenty years, and many of his memories were not so clear. He only remembered that he came from a very small immortal cultivation family, and the family made a living by refining low-level talismans.
However, he had no intention of returning to the original owner's home. He was just surprised for a moment and then didn't care.
Then, he agreed to Bai Yunyue's suggestion, and the other group immediately cheered.
Especially those followers, they are just warriors who know some rudimentary martial arts. They are usually brave and fierce with ordinary people, but in this mountain where there are monsters, they are really scared.
With the addition of Chen Lin, a 'powerful' cultivator, the safety of the team was greatly increased, and the tense state of mind of these people relaxed a little.
Especially after they encountered an armored pig monster on the way and it was killed by Chen Lin with one sword, the attitude of these people became even more respectful.
Chen Lin even discovered that Bai Lingshan looked at him with some admiration.
I just don’t know if the other party will be scared when they see how old he actually is.
Because they were already at the edge of the mountains, after killing the armored pigs, the group no longer encountered any danger, and within a day they saw a not-so-large building complex in the distance.
It's very simple and desolate.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is Huangtu Town. Most of the people who live here are hunters and herbalists. There are also some immortal cultivators who go into the mountains to hunt monsters, but they are all cultivators in the early stages of Qi training like me."
“Those who have reached your level have already learned the magic of flying. No one wants to live here, but will live in Guyuan City.”
Listening to Bai Yunyue's introduction, Chen Lin nodded.
Along the way, he also found out a lot of information he wanted to know through indirect means.
For example, this vast mountain area is called the Duanmeng Mountains by the locals, and the country where Huangtu Town is located is called Yan Kingdom.
The Yan Kingdom occupies a piece of territory on the northern side of the Duanmeng Mountains, but there are several other countries on the same level with it.
The country here does not have absolute control, the real controllers are the major immortal cultivation forces.
This is also reasonable. With the strength of immortal cultivators, how could mortals resist them? Even if they had more elite soldiers and generals, it would be useless.
There is a sect near Guyuan City called Qingyun Sect.
However, this sect is a bit weak. It has only one cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the rest are in the Qi Condensation Stage. Bai Yunyue is a disciple of this sect.
Chen Lin estimated that the strength of the Qingyun Sect was equivalent to the level of one of the five major families in Kaiyuan City.
One can found a sect just by building a foundation, which shows that the level of cultivation here is not high.
In addition, he had been walking out from the depths of the Duanmeng Mountains and had only encountered a second-level monster once in more than 20 days, which meant that the monster's level was not high.
The reason for this is probably that there are relatively few spiritual veins in this area and the concentration of spiritual energy is low.
I just don't know if it's the same in the entire cultivation world or just here.
The information about Bai Yunyue was limited to Yan Country, and he had never been to other places, so Chen Lin couldn't get any information even if he wanted to.
Loess Town.
As the name suggests, the land is all yellow soil and very dry. Such soil is not suitable for planting, so most people here make a living by hunting.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain. Although there are monsters in Duanmeng Mountains, they only exist in the deep mountains. Most of the people in the outer areas are ordinary wild beasts.
Even if there are monsters running out, they are all low-level and can be dealt with by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
In fact, no matter whether it is demons or ghosts, as long as they are of a higher level, they have no interest in mortals, and will not hunt in mortal cities.
Mortals don't have any spiritual power in their bodies, and their bodies are full of impurities. Eating it will not only be of no benefit but will be harmful.
It's just like rats and cockroaches, which can also fill the stomach, but no one will eat them unless the hunger reaches a certain level.
The main prey of demons and monsters are cultivators of immortality. The flesh of cultivators, which is nourished by spiritual energy all year round, has a fatal attraction to them.
This information was all in the original owner's memory, and after chatting with Bai Yunyue, it was recalled bit by bit.
"Hey, isn't this the second young master of the Bai family? How come he came out of the mountain so quickly? Was he scared out by the wild boars and dogs?!"
A duck-like voice sounded, full of strong teasing, which brought Chen Lin back to his thoughts.
Although he was still thinking, he was always alert to the movements around him and had already noticed the person who was speaking.
This was a young man wearing a red satin robe, who looked to be about twenty years old. Hanging from his waist was a gorgeous sword more than two feet long, with a red scabbard inlaid with many yellow gems.
Very showy.
This person is also a cultivator, and his cultivation level is one level higher than Bai Yunyue, at the third level of Qi training.
His expression was very arrogant.
If he were to add a squinting look and a sneering smile, he would be just like the monks from Kaiyuan City.
