At this time, Jiang Ning was already on his way to Qiaozhou City.
Qiaozhou City is the largest Chinese herbal medicine trading market in the central region, more than 200 kilometers away from Yuzhou City.
It was around two o'clock in the morning. Jiang Ning used the 'Qi Concealment Technique' to hide his body. Then he sent a stream of spiritual power to his shoes to prevent them from breaking.
Apart from that, he did not use any spiritual power and ran on the dam relying solely on his physical strength.
After learning the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique, his physical fitness has surpassed the limits of mortals. Jiang Ning can now run 30 meters per second, with a speed of 108 kilometers per hour, which is three times faster than the Olympic sprint champion.
At this speed, ordinary cars can only follow behind him and collect dust. It will take two hours to reach Qiaozhou City.
If he adds a 'Divine Step', Jiang Ning's speed can even be increased to 40 meters per second.
But the current speed is enough. After all, Jiang Ning is just a young cultivator at the first level of Qi training and his spiritual power is scarce.
He was running under the moonlight and met people driving at night along the way. However, with the help of the "Concealing Qi Technique", they did not notice Jiang Ning. They just felt a strong wind blowing outside the car window.
At 4:30 in the morning, the moon sets, a faint light appears in the east, and the sun is about to rise.
Jiang Ning stepped into the territory of Qiaozhou.
After finding a secluded alley, Jiang Ning used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he adjusted his hair, removed the spell, and revealed his true form.
After running for more than 200 kilometers, Jiang Ning did not break a sweat. This physical practitioner is truly extraordinary.
He strolled slowly along the street. In his previous life, because he had a roommate from Georgia, he was invited here several times and had a good impression of the city.
The GDP of Qiaozhou is at the same level as that of Yuzhou, and the level of urban construction is similar. There are not many high-rise buildings, and the streets have begun to be renovated. Some old houses that are about to be demolished can be seen.
In the future, there will be a large number of people who will be relocated. My roommate used to complain to me a lot that many people who lived in old houses in Georgia often lost three houses after one was demolished, and then sold the houses again. They would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives, unlike me who had to work hard to pay off the mortgage.
From time to time, there were morning exercisers passing by on the road. Looking at them breathing heavily and sweat on their foreheads, Jiang Ning couldn't help but miss them.
As he walked like this, the sun gradually jumped out of the sky and Jiang Ning came to a mutton restaurant. It was an old restaurant and Jiang Ning had come here to eat in later lives.
The store is not big and is run by a couple. Although it is still early, there are already many diners sitting inside.
Jiang Ning ordered a bowl of mutton soup and added ten yuan worth of mutton. He ate very lavishly and ordered three servings of pot cakes.
The boss was very efficient and brought the dish to the table quickly. Jiang Ning took a bite and found it delicious without any smell of mutton.
He knew the reason. His roommate had told him before that the mutton soup in Georgia was made with local kid goats, which had good physique, little mutton smell, and were delicious.
He took a bite of the steaming pot cake, which is actually a kind of steamed bun, crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, and it has a special taste when paired with mutton soup.
During this time of eating, more and more people came into the restaurant, which shows how good the business is.
His roommate told him that the family could earn 300,000 yuan a year and even bought a house in the capital, which shows how much profit they made.
However, when my roommate said this, he didn't feel too jealous, because people who run such restaurants often have to get up early and go to bed late, and they suffer more than those who work as workers, and the money they earn is hard-earned.
After breakfast, Jiang Ning put on his backpack and headed to the herb trading market.
Standing in front of a street, Jiang Ning looked up and saw a huge brown arch with a few large characters engraved on it:
'Georgia Chinese Herbal Medicine Trading Center.'
Jiang Ning smiled as he smelled a strong medicinal aroma. It had been half a month since he came back, and he finally found this place.
After entering the herb market, Jiang Ning began to purchase herbs.
Most of the herbs here are sun-dried, and due to advanced techniques, their medicinal effects are well preserved.
The Georgia Medicinal Herbs Trading Center brings together herbal merchants from all over the country. The daily throughput of medicinal herbs is huge, and almost all medicinal herbs can be purchased here.
Most of them are bulk wholesale, but small purchases like Jiang Ning's are also welcome.
The shops on both sides of the street were open, and all kinds of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged, dazzling to the eyes. Jiang Ning felt happy when he was among them.
Even though they were just low-level herbs, Jiang Ning was only a cultivator at the first level of Qi training, and these herbs were enough for him to reach the great perfection of Qi training.
Even in the world of immortal cultivation, the medicinal herbs used by low-level cultivators at the beginning were just ordinary herbs.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied with the prices in the market. Many medicinal materials were sold by pound, costing dozens of yuan per pound, which was extremely cheap.
In today's technologically advanced world, various industrialized and programmed plantings have made productivity extremely terrifying.
Jiang Ning recalled the most effective elixirs during the Qi training period, the 'Qi Gathering Pill' and the 'Spirit Enriching Pill'.
The dozen or so types of herbs in the pill recipe came to his mind. According to the required herbs, Jiang Ning began to sweep along the shops. Unexpectedly, he collected 90% of them in the first shop.
Jiang Ning could only admire the complete variety. One has to know that in the world of immortal cultivation, if an ordinary low-level cultivator went to buy medicinal herbs, it would take a lot of effort, and he might even have to run to several markets, and he might be ambushed and hunted down along the way.
Since Jiang Ning purchased a large amount of herbs, the owner specifically asked him if he wanted express delivery service. Express delivery is also possible, but if it is a large item, express delivery is more cost-effective.
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement. He had to rush back to Yuzhou today. There were too many herbs to carry, so he picked out a few from each batch of purchased herbs and put them in a bag, while the rest were waiting for express delivery.
Then, following the enthusiastic recommendation of the store owner, he went to two other stores to look for herbs, and collected all the herbs needed for the two kinds of pills. In total, he only spent 10,000 yuan and had enough pills for two months.
Jiang Ning couldn't believe how smooth it all was. Wasn't it too easy
Before he came, I thought it would take some effort!
After purchasing the herbs, Jiang Ning was planning to take a walk around the area when his cell phone rang.
When Jiang Ning answered the phone, he found out it was the worker who was installing the broadband, who asked him if he would be home that afternoon.
After he agreed, he thought about it and decided that since he had already gathered all the herbs needed for the elixir in the Qi training stage, he might as well come here for a walk in the future.
Jiang Ning did not delay any longer. He put a small amount of herbs in his backpack and walked towards the alley, going further and further away, until there were no more cameras or people spying on him within his consciousness. He used the 'Invisible Qi Technique' to conceal his figure and then headed towards Yuzhou City.
On the way, Jiang Ning missed the magic weapon more and more. Even if he didn't have a magic weapon, a flying magic weapon would be good, so he wouldn't have to run so hard.
No matter how fast he is, it is still not as comfortable as riding a magic weapon. That way he would be more like an immortal, not as plain and simple as he is now.
The problem with the medicinal herbs was solved, but the problem with the magic weapon stumped Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was not sure whether the materials needed for the magic weapon existed in the world. Perhaps some of them existed, but he could not remember them clearly.
Thanks to the development of chemical technology, there are now various types of steel and alloys that do not exist in the world of immortal cultivation.
I just don't know if it is possible to refine magical instruments, because to refine magical instruments, most of the materials needed are various spiritual objects, so that the spiritual power can be transmitted smoothly.
Looking at the cars passing by, Jiang Ning became more determined to refine the magic weapon.
