Chapter 75: Dispensing Medicine (Seeking Three Rivers Ticket)
At the fork in the road, Li Ran stopped and turned to look at Qing Yi Ma Kong, saying somewhat embarrassedly: "Ma Kong Shixiong, do you have any points on you? I'll borrow some to go to Cang Zhen Pavilion."
Ma Kong's heart was burning with excitement, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, Burning Knife, how many do you need?"
Tú Shùn also came over: "Rán Dāo, how much are you using? If it's not enough at Master Brother's place, I have some here too."
The two were so enthusiastic that Li Ran's knife smiled: "Just lend me 100 points for now."
Ma Kong casually lifted his robe, took out a cloth bag from his waist, and picked out a purple knife coin about an inch long: "Knife Coin, the door has three kinds of integral white knife, yellow knife and purple knife. White knife is one point, yellow knife is ten points, this purple knife is exactly 100 points, is it enough? If not, Master has more here."
Li Ran Dao nodded: "Senior brother, it should be enough, if not I'll ask you again."
"Alright, younger brother, you go ahead and attend to your business. Even if something comes up when it's your turn on duty and you can't leave, just let me know and I'll find someone to cover for you for a few days."
Li Ruo's knife helped Xuan Huo Dong win such glory, and Ma Kong was naturally pleased along the way.
Li Ruo bid farewell to the two of them and turned around to head towards Cang Zhen Pavilion along the mountain path.
The mountain road winds and turns, with nine bends, and after walking for a long time, in a deep and secluded valley, a three-story pavilion appears in the distance, hidden in the thick fog. The golden walls shine brightly, and the building occupies the spiritual charm of the mountain. A black-and-white signboard hangs above, with three large characters written in bold strokes - Cang Zhen Pavilion.
Li Ruo Dao stepped into the pavilion, behind a wooden carving desk, a grey-robed female disciple was flipping through an account book, checking something. Hearing footsteps, she raised her head, slightly startled, and smiled as she nodded to Li Ruo Dao: "This junior brother, what do you want to exchange?"
Li Ran walked over: "I'd like to exchange for a Rhinoceros Horn Orchid, a section of Ginseng Tree Root, and these nine common medicines..."
Li Ruo handed over a piece of well-made animal skin with nine names of herbs written on it.
If you want to refine the hair-washing dan, these are all essential things.
The grey-robed female disciple took the animal skin and looked at it, nodding slightly. She turned around, took another book from the shelf and flipped through it: "These nine kinds of herbs are all in the pavilion... Oh, Rhinoceros Wind Horn is also here... Ginseng Tree Tendril Root? Ginseng Tree Tendril Root..."
The grey-robed female disciple furrowed her eyebrows, and Li Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The grey-robed female disciple flipped through the booklet completely, furrowed her brow and raised her head: "This fellow junior brother, the root of the tree is not in our pavilion, you are preparing medicine, it seems that this prescription will need another method."
Li Ran Dao hastily asked: "Sister, can you help me see if the main root of the bitter melody tree is...?"
The nun in grey robes furrowed her brow and thought for a moment, flipping the booklet to the middle, then flipped through several pages before shaking her head again: "Not here either..."
Li Ran's knife was somewhat anxious, if the Lingdan furnace couldn't be refined, then all the plans below would be disrupted. This tree root is a supporting medicine, but it can't be lacking, otherwise it will never be possible to refine the dan.
Li Ran's knife hurriedly asked again: "Shi Jie, what about the main root of that rattan tree? Is this also gone?"
This is the last alternative, if there isn't any more, Li Ruo's only choice is to go to the outside medicine hall to search, but for the medicines that are not available in Xuanji Mountain, how many places would he have to search outside before finding a clue.
The grey-robed female disciple smiled and said: "I remember what you're talking about, the main root of the Wisteria Tree..."
The nun flipped through the book, her finger lightly tapping on a page and exclaimed: "Here it is, this one has."
Li Ran let out a long sigh of relief and put down his guard.
The girl in grey robes closed her book and smiled as she looked at Li Fenger, asking: "Is that all? You're one of the new disciples who just entered the mountain this year, right?"
Li Ran nodded.
The female disciple smiled again, casting a playful glance at Li Fenger's sword: "Junior brother, although Rhinoceros Wind Horn and Wisteria Tree main root are not spiritual herbs, their prices far exceed ordinary grass. Do you have enough points on you? Are you borrowing from someone else?"
This batch of new disciples has been in the mountain for only a few days and can only get a few points, which is barely enough to buy anything.
Li Ran Dao looked a bit embarrassed: "Sister, help me calculate how many points these will cost, I only borrowed 100, if it exceeds that I won't be able to afford it."
The young nun giggled and slid her fingers lightly over the abacus, then looked up and said: "You have a total of 45 points, your money is enough. Go to the pavilion for a stroll or wait somewhere else for a while, about an hour later, I will ask someone to bring you what you want."
Having accomplished this, Li Ruo felt relieved in his heart. He strolled around Cang Zhen Pavilion and paid more attention to the spiritual medicine and spiritual power metal. The nearly sky-high prices once again severely crushed Li Ruo's confidence.
Anything of slightly higher grade is expensive enough to make one gasp in amazement.
Li Ran's eyes lingered in front of the Iron Essence, 1,400 points was a price that couldn't be beat for a Spiritual Power Metal. Li Ran swallowed hard, he knew this was something he had to get next.
An hour later, the female disciple had prepared everything Li Ruo Dao wanted. He handed over his accumulated points and bid farewell, raising his head to observe the mountainous terrain, distinguishing the direction towards Lingyao Valley.
Xǐ máo dān now lacks only one item, heavy water. Li Rán thought of Ná Dān shī xiōng and decided to seek his help.
A distant journey, a warm valley nestled in the arms of a majestic peak, shrouded in mist, with a faint scent of elegance wafting from afar. Li Nuo walked along the mountain path into the valley, where his eyes were met with lush new greenery, and as far as the eye could see, the scenery was picturesque and harmonious.
From a distance, a female disciple was seen walking from the direction of Tian Geng, busy in the medicine field.
Li Ruo shouted hastily: "A Qiao Shizhi, where is Nadan Shixiong?"
This female disciple was none other than A Qiao, whom he had met that day. A Qiao looked up in surprise to see Li Ruo Nan, and couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression, shouting: "Looking for Shixiong Na Dan? I'll go call him for you."
Aqiao ran far away. Before long, Qingyi Nadan came quickly, with Aqiao following closely behind her, full of curiosity on his face.
Before he could get close, Nadan burst out laughing: "Feng Knife, how did you have time to run over here? Ah, I just heard that you actually went to venture into the Phantom Spirit Cave. How was it? Did you make it to the third level? How many spirit beasts did you kill on the third level?"
A'Qiao followed closely behind, her eyes fixed intently on Li Ran's knife. This new junior brother, who had cleverly resolved the awkwardness of her Xiao Yunyu symbol last time, had actually gone to charge into the Huanling Cave this time. For the past few days, all she had heard were stories about him, and this junior brother was indeed full of legendary color.
A Qiao is also looking forward to Li Ruo's performance in the Phantom Cave.
Li Ran Dao smiled and shook his head: "I passed the third level, in the fourth level I killed thirteen spiritual beasts and had no strength to support myself, so I was forced to retreat."
"What......"
Nadan and Aqiao simultaneously opened their mouths and looked at Li Ruo Dao.
"You, you broke into the fourth layer? And actually killed thirteen spiritual beasts? That... that's just one step away from the Golden Sword List!"
Nadan's face was full of shock.
Li Ran Dao smiled and nodded: "From the ranking point of view, it seems that I am only one place away from Master Shan Zhi."
A Qiao took a deep breath of cold air, her apricot eyes wide with surprise.
Grey Robe Golden Sword has always been the absolute elite of the sect, Li Ran's knife just entered the mountain gate for a few days and is only one step away from that realm, what a stunning talent.
Li Ran stood there with a faint smile, but Ah Qiao felt an inexplicable mystery on this junior brother.
Nadan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Feng Jian, you always create legends, what brings you to me this time?"
Li Ruo smiled and said: "Senior brother, I want to ask for your help. I urgently need some small cloud rain talismans. These things are not available in the Treasure Pavilion, so I'd like to buy some from you."
Even Ah Jiao couldn't help but laugh at this point.
Nadan laughed and shook his head, "Fu Ruo, Yun Yu Fu is just something our Ling Yao Valley made ourselves to irrigate the fields. The raw materials are just some jade essence and spiritual spring water. These things aren't worth much money, how could they be in Cang Zhen Pavilion? How many do you want, what else do you want to buy? Master will take care of it, I'll just give them to you."
"Really?"
Li Ran Dao exclaimed with joy: "Senior brother, I want three thousand."
"What... you..."
Nadan was stunned again by such a large number.
