In the early morning of the second day, the inn where everyone stayed was bustling with horses neighing constantly. The guests staying in the entire inn are almost all mercenaries who are on the protection mission with Bai Hua and others this time.
And those Lu family children who were protected were all about the same age as Xia Yan, but they spoke coldly and arrogantly. In their eyes, these mercenaries naturally couldn't compare with their identities.
Xia Yan temporarily bought some potions for wound healing and detoxification in Niu Snake Town. In addition, he also bought a "Mainland Rare Treasures Illustrated Book". This time into the sinful forest, Xia Yan was looking for the medicinal material Pipacao, but he was not proficient in medicinal materials, and even if he encountered it, he might not be able to recognize it. Almost all types of medicinal ore are recorded.
It's expensive, but worth it.
As the sun rose, everyone had left Niu Snake Town and continued to head north. Along the way, the figures of the people gradually disappeared into the distance.
Thirty li further north is the number one fortress on the mainland. This fortress is usually not heavily defended, and only when the army of the Dark Night Continent invades in large numbers, under the mobilization of the Holy Land, a huge army from the entire continent will come here to defend against the enemy.
Bai Rui had been walking with Xia Yan all the time, and she couldn't help being curious when she saw Xia Yan reading the thick "Mainland Rare Treasures Illustrated Book" while walking.
This illustration book, even in Baiqingcheng, is sold for the price of a gold coin. In Niu Snake Town, the price seems to be more expensive. Bai Rui was a little puzzled, why Xia Yan bought this illustration temporarily.
While walking with the team, Xia Yan was able to concentrate on reading at the same time, which kept Bai Rui's heart full of Xiao Jiujiu. Judging by Xia Yan's concentrated appearance, it doesn't seem like she's pretending.
Naturally, Bai Rui didn't know Xia Yan's ability. After Xia Yan practiced the Lingluo Mind Method, his memory ability was superb. Xia Yan only needs to read it once, and he can write down what all the ores and medicinal materials above look like, as well as various characteristics, smells, etc. Xia Yan can repeat them verbatim.
Several children of the Lu family sat in the spacious carriage, their eyes swept over the mercenaries from time to time, occasionally showing disdainful expressions.
"Um?!"
Xia Yan's eyes flashed.
Unknowingly, the illustration book has been flipped to the last few pages. In the last few pages, the color of the paper is different from the previous ones, and the font is much larger. Xia Yan saw that on the front page, the words "Top Ten Treasures" of the Dragon Continent were clearly written.
Looking at the bottom, there are some pictures of medicinal materials and ores that look very strange, and there are detailed introductions on them.
"Ten rare treasures!" Xia Yan shook his head, his eyes flashed with excitement.
He saw the introduction on the illustrated book saying that each of these ten rare treasures is a priceless treasure, which cannot be bought on the mainland at all, no matter how many gold coins there are. Any kind of medicinal materials and ores are treasures that countless cultivators are frantically pursuing. However, these things are almost legends on the mainland.
In front of the top ten rares, there are many special medicinal materials and ore introductions, all of which are priceless treasures, but when Xia Yan saw these top ten rare ones, he couldn't help but feel that those in front were priceless and specially marked medicinal materials And ore, are very general.
"Sure enough, it is one of the top ten treasures!" After Xia Yan finished reading, he praised in a low voice.
"Hey, it's a pity that you can meet but can't ask for it." Xia Yan chuckled, although the top ten rare treasures are good, but they can't be forced. To get these rare treasures, you need a coincidence.
"What can be met but not asked for?!"
Seeing Xia Yan close the illustrated book to death, Bai Rui finally spoke. Just now I saw Xia Yan seriously reading the illustrated book, but Bai Rui resisted not disturbing her.
"Oh, it's the top ten rare treasures in the mainland!" Xia Yan smiled and raised the illustrated book in his hand, "Bai Rui, have you read the illustrated book before?!"
Bai Rui pouted and said, "If we mercenaries haven't read the illustrated book, what kind of mercenary are we? But you, haven't you read the illustrated book before?!"
Xia Yan's question was indeed a bit silly, hearing Bai Rui's words, Xia Yan had no choice but to laugh a few times.
"Well, I've never seen it before, and I've been busy practicing. This time I entered the Sin Forest to find a kind of medicinal material, so I took a look at this picture book temporarily, so as not to recognize the medicinal material when I saw it." Xia Yan lightly said with a smile.
Bai Rui turned her beautiful eyes, and said with a charming smile on her face: "Then you are cramming for the time being. Did you see the medicinal materials, and then take out the illustrated book to compare them one by one?!"
Shaking his head, Xia Yan put the Tujianfang into the package behind him and said: "I have written down all the contents above, and now I will recognize those medicinal materials when I see them."
Bai Rui was taken aback for a moment, then giggled, pointing at Xia Yan with a finger as slender as white jade, laughing until the flowers trembled.
Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui in confusion, frowning slightly.
Bai Rui laughed for a long time, then said out of breath: "I find you are really funny, you are so cute, you are talking big, yesterday you said you were going to hit the realm of a spiritual master, today you read this illustrated book for less than half a day Say it all down. Hehe, if you want to say something big, you have to say something that can be believed!"
Hearing what Bai Rui said, Xia Yan rolled his eyes, it turned out that Bai Rui thought he was talking big.
"snort… "
A cold snort came from the carriage.
Among the children of the Lu family, one is a woman, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, she is quite handsome, but she is not as good as Xia Zixin, Wang Yuyan and other women. Even Bai Rui is a little more beautiful than her. Ever since seeing Xia Yan, the woman has been looking at Xia Yan from time to time.
Seeing Bai Rui talking and laughing with Xia Yan at this time, he must be feeling uncomfortable, so he snorted directly.
Bai Rui looked around the carriage and didn't mind.
"Hey, in fact, you really shouldn't spend so much money on the illustrated book. When you see the medicinal materials, then take out the illustrated book for comparison. It's too late. Someone snatched it away. What medicinal materials are you looking for? I'll ask my brother to find it for you." Bai Rui ignored the cold snorts and jealous eyes in the carriage, and happily said to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan shook his head, and said helplessly: "I really wrote it all down, this illustrated book is useless to me now."
Bai Rui puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "You really want to lose face, so tell me, how many kinds of medicinal materials and ores are there in this illustration book."
Obviously, Bai Rui wanted to make things difficult for Xia Yan. Even if most people memorized all the medicinal materials and ores in the illustrated book, they probably wouldn't know how many kinds there were.
Xia Yan looked at Bai Rui, and found a sly look in Bai Rui's eyes, so he laughed.
"Why, can't you say it? I told you to talk big!" Bai Rui raised her powder fist proudly.
Xia Yan said: "There are 548 primary, intermediate and advanced medicinal materials, 42 special medicinal materials, and 7 rare medicinal materials. There are 53 kinds of ores, 11 special ores, and 3 rare medicinal materials. ore."
