After walking out of the material store, Bai Qiuran looked up at Tomorrow in the sky and muttered to himself.
"Interesting, really interesting."
The materials he prepared were originally things that were basically impossible to be out of stock, because the most used materials were still used by the magic cultivators as the raw materials for medicinal pills to improve their cultivation.
Bai Qiuran is of course aware of how special his situation is. For three thousand years, he has tried all kinds of methods in order to build the foundation, whether it is the immortal remains left by the Xianjiadongfu, or the remnants of the cultivation sects before the Da Cang calendar. He also studied the ancient fragments found in the ruins of the sect that came down, and even the dead opponents of the Righteous Qi Dao League, the magic cultivators.
Different from the righteous monks who lay a solid foundation and take one step at a time, the magic monks advocate freedom and spontaneity, courage and diligence, and all things in the world are for personal use, so their exercises are more radical in all aspects, and it is naturally the same in alchemy.
The materials that these magic cultivators often use have very strong medicinal properties after refining, but at the same time they also have very strong side effects. Except for Bai Qiuran, even the gang of body bones can withstand the toss better than the cultivators of the right way. Even the magic cultivators can't bear it, so at this time, they will use the magic methods they have cultivated to help digest the medicinal properties.
For example, take the major sects of the Demon Cultivator as an example. When the medicine cannot bear the power, the Acacia Sect will take supplements, the Yin Spirit Sect will go to the mass grave or the battlefield to absorb the remnants of the soul, and the Tian Demon Sect will take a piece of it. The spirit of the spiritual land, and the Blood God Sect, which is more extreme than them, would choose murder and blood sacrifices.
This kind of blood sacrifice requires at least slaughtering the population of a village. Therefore, among the Demon Sects, the Blood God Sect is the most unpopular one. They will not be attacked by the righteous path yet, but every disciple of the Blood God Sect who has successfully cultivated bears at least the lives of thousands of innocent people. Therefore, the major sects of the Righteous Qi Dao League and the Blood God Sect are immortal. Relationships, once discovered, must be completely killed.
However, considering that normal cultivators also use these materials, Bai Qiuran made a special test. In addition to those materials, the second time he wrote the remaining materials of the most commonly used pill recipe by magic cultivators. , and these materials are still out of stock in the store.
This is very strange.
It seems that there are indeed magic cultivators in Shangxuan. Considering Tang Ruowei's attitude towards cultivators, and the rumors that the emperor of Shangxuan is superstitious now, Bai Qiuran has no choice but to put his doubts. Focus on the body of the national teacher of the Xuan Kingdom.
In particular, the national teacher of Shangxuan Kingdom also used the name of their Qingming Sword Sect as a banner.
Thinking all the way, Bai Qiuran came to a high-end restaurant in the capital of Shangxuan. After throwing out dozens of taels of silver, he found a box on the top floor by the window, and then used his superhuman hearing to capture The guests in this restaurant were talking while opening up their divine senses, using their majestic divine senses to sweep the entire Shangxuan Kingdom.
But after some searching, Bai Qiuran did not find anything strange in the city. He also focused on observing the palace of Shangxuan Kingdom, whether it was the emperor, prince of Shangxuan Kingdom, or the national teacher and The first class worshipped Sima Yingbo and did not show any abnormality.
The national teacher and Sima Yingbo did not have the magical energy that would appear in the demon cultivator, so they should be normal cultivators.
During this process, Bai Qiuran also saw Tang Ruowei who had returned to the palace. She was in the palace's harem, which should be her own palace. When Bai Qiuran saw her, the princess, who had a problem with cultivators, had already changed into a woman's dress. She looked quite charming, but Bai Qiuran saw her in front of a tall bronze mirror, struggling He stuffed something into his placket, stuffing his placket so bulging.
That appearance reminded Bai Qiuran of who he used to be. Before he met Daoist Qingming, he was wandering around those battlefields, picking off the clothes and items of the dead to sell them for money.
Occasionally, when he was lucky, he was able to pull out the unfinished dry food on the bodies of those soldiers. At this time, he would stuff the food into his jacket, stuffing it all over the place.
But he didn't understand what Tang Ruowei was stuffing.
Could it be that the Shangxuan Kingdom is so poor, it's not that bad...
He laughed at his completely impossible idea, Bai Qiuran withdrew his consciousness and did not pay attention to the palace anymore.
At present, there should be no clues in the palace, and another breakthrough point must be found.
Just at this moment, Bai Qiuran's ears caught the conversation of the people at the table downstairs.
"Hey, this ceremony is really troublesome. The previous ceremonies were not the internal affairs of the royal family. Why do you suddenly want us to encourage boys and girls from all families to go and participate in the ceremony together?"
"Um?"
Capturing the sensitive words "boy and girl" and "sacrifice to heaven", Bai Qiuran quickly let go of his spiritual sense and consciousness, and focused his attention on the place where the voice came from.
It was two middle-aged men downstairs who were talking, and looking at their clothes, they should be two middle-level officials from Shangxuan Kingdom.
"Hey, what do your majesty and the national teacher think, and how do we courtiers know?"
One of the middle-aged men said:
"Maybe I want to use the luck of the boys and girls to turn the country's fortunes around. It is estimated that the little babies will be able to stand and warm up at that time. The recent domestic situation is indeed not very optimistic."
"The key is the current situation. Not to mention other places, there are not many residents in the city who are willing to lend their children and let them follow your majesty to the ceremony grounds to sacrifice to the sky."
Another officer complained:
"If you want to find a family that is willing to lend a child, you still have to go to a remote place, find those families who are living in difficulties, send a few silver taels, and they will borrow it... But that's too much trouble, alas, is there any kind of A virgin girl who is wandering on the streets, without a parent and without a mother."
"Be quiet!"
The middle-aged official who spoke first quickly reminded:
"This is the capital of the Shangxuan Kingdom. If you want homeless orphans to appear in the capital, don't you want to smear the saint's face? Be careful to kill your head!"
"Oh, I lost my words."
Another official quickly picked up the glass.
"Come, come, drink and drink."
Seeing that the two exchanged cups and started talking about other things, Bai Qiuran withdrew his consciousness and touched his chin.
After a while, he smiled slightly, wiped out the dishes and wines on the table, left the silver taels, left the restaurant, and walked to a nearby unoccupied corner.
After scanning around with his consciousness, he made sure that there was no one around, and Bai Qiuran's body suddenly made a sound like a popping bean. Then, his body shrank, his face gradually changed, and his hair and beard turned from white to black. Finally, Bai Qiuran disappeared. Here, in its place, another boy with black hair and a childish face appeared.
