Chapter 284 Herb Collector
No one spoke that night. Although the spirit boat was speeding through the clouds and mist, it did not cause any trouble. With the help of the relevant formation, the trip was quite comfortable.
From a distance, even if there were occasional cultivators flying by, they just watched from afar, and no other incidents occurred.
Five days passed, and when the first rays of the morning sun shone through the skylight into the room, Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled gently, and looked out the window.
In the sea of clouds, a fiery red sun rose from the horizon, and the glow of the sky was ready to go, turning the surrounding sea of clouds into red clouds, which was very beautiful.
The red clouds passed through the sea of clouds and hit Yu Changsheng's face, casting a shadow on the wall behind him. Yu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the view at the moment, stretched out his hand and clenched it, as if thinking about something.
"The meaning of the sunrise breaking dawn... So that's it."
With one thought, many thoughts also faded away one by one. Many insights about the sunrise breaking dawn fist finally condensed into one point, which was in Yu Changsheng's mind.
Yu Changsheng's own comprehension was good, but he usually relied on the golden finger, which did not mean that he did not think for himself.
"Yes, the system only improved my proficiency. Some key warning insights also need to be practiced by myself."
Yu Changsheng muttered, took a breath slowly, stretched his muscles and bones, walked out of the room, and came to the splint outside.
On the splint, Li Minghan, Shen Xingchen and others also walked out of the room one after another.
"The Huishui Mountains are just ahead. Now I control the flying boat to land." Zhang Tianwen glanced at the four people, and the flying boat slowly lowered its altitude while pinching the seal.
Yu Changsheng went down like this, through the clouds and mist, the mountains below were undulating, the giant trees were towering, covering the specific scene in the mountain, and the most shocking thing was that from all directions, there were eight majestic rivers converging here, like eight long dragons, and they were running towards each other.
And the most central intersection was Huishui Mountain, which was dotted with dragon beads, stretching for 800 miles, magnificent and magnificent. Anyone who saw it would recognize that this place was not simple.
"The place where eight dragons gather, this Huishui Mountain, is not simple, it is both a treasure land and a Jedi."
Looking at this scene, Wang Dingsheng, one of the five people, couldn't help but sigh and speak.
"Yes, Huishui Mountain has a special terrain, and there are many undercurrents surging underground. After entering, we try to hold together and don't separate. With our cultivation, as long as we don't go too deep, the rest should be no problem."
Zhang Tianwen nodded, and soon, the flying boat landed, and after being put away by Zhang Tianwen, he found the right direction and flew forward.
"There are many spiritual beasts and rich products in Huishui Mountain, including some spiritual herbs and medicines. Where there are benefits, there will naturally be people. Therefore, over time, some cultivators have taken root at the foot of this mountain for a long time, forming a special profession, herbalists."
"This is our first time here, so let's go to the herbal town in front and take a look. It's best to find an experienced guide and let him take us in to take a look, which can also save some effort."
It can be seen that Zhang Tianwen has obviously done his homework in advance and spoke in an orderly manner. The others heard it and nodded in agreement.
Just one stick of incense later, not far from Huishui Mountain, a small town with a small area appeared in sight. The five people were shocked and sped up.
The town is not large, but it is very lively, with people coming and going, and the sound of hawking is endless. Yu Changsheng frowned and felt it carefully for a while. Most of them are Qi training cultivators, and a small number of foundation building cultivators. As for those above, he has not felt it for the time being.
"Come and take a look. The best spiritual medicine, the seven-leaf blood ganoderma, is for sale at a low price."
...
"The body of the second-level demon beast, the red flame lion, is freshly hunted. Take a look. Hurry up if you need it."
...
Walking into the town, there are quite a few shops. On the streets outside the shops, there are still many cultivators setting up stalls and greeting customers.
Yu Changsheng looked around and had a general understanding of the situation here. He looked at the things on sale with a hint of curiosity, but unfortunately, most of them were not needed by Yu Changsheng.
The appearance of the five people naturally attracted some people's attention. After all, judging from their clothes and demeanor, Yu Changsheng and others did not deliberately conceal that they were disciples of the sect and these casual cultivators, but there was still a big difference.
"Young masters, is this your first time to Huishui Mountain?"
So, before the few people deliberately looked for it, one of them jumped out and asked with a smile.
The man was wearing an ancient yellow robe, middle-aged, short, and only at the peak of Qi Refining, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his brows.
Zhang Tianwen pondered, looked at the man and nodded gently, saying: "Yes, it is indeed the first time."
"Oh," the man clapped his hands after hearing the words, and continued with a smile on his face: "I am Yang Caizai, Huishui Mountain is a rare treasure, but for outsiders, if they are not familiar with the situation in the mountain for the first time, it is very easy to enter a dangerous place if they go there rashly, which is extremely dangerous."
"If you need to see, please find our Guchen Herb Picking Group. We have the most experienced herb picker in the vicinity. With him leading the way, rest assured that we will avoid many detours, and your safety will be guaranteed without delaying your journey."
"The most important thing is that the price is absolutely the most fair."
Yang Caizai said this in one breath, paused slightly, a look of struggle appeared on his face, and a hint of physical pain: "In this way, since this is your first time here, if you need it, I will give you a 20% discount. Do you think so?"
Zhang Tianwen was slow and looked back at everyone. After receiving affirmative nods from everyone, Zhang Tianwen also nodded to this person and said:
"Okay, then you can take us to see it."
"Okay, okay, gentlemen, please come here." Yang Caizai was overjoyed, and obviously saw that Zhang Tianwen was the core of this group of people. He led a few people forward and introduced:
"Our Guchen Herb Collection Group has been operating under Huishui Mountain for nearly a hundred years. You don't have to worry about reputation. In our group, according to the requirements of customers, we also have masters with different prices and provide different services. "
Yang Caizai said, with a smile naturally appearing on his face.
"Different services?" Li Minghan was stunned and muttered, "Is this service serious?"
Yu Changsheng turned his head and glanced at Li Minghan with disdain.
Li Minghan scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and chuckled.
"Ahem..." Hearing this, Yang Caizai glanced at Li Minghan strangely, shook his head and smiled dumbly.
"Well, if a few young masters need it, it's not impossible."
After saying that, Yang Caizai showed a hint of trepidation on his face and raised his eyebrows at Li Minghan.
Li Minghan: "..."
"Okay, leave him alone and take us there." Zhang Tianwen smiled helplessly. Not long after, under the leadership of Yang Caizai, they arrived at the edge of the town, where an attic was located.
Above the attic, the words "Guchen Herb Collection Group" hang brightly.
"Here is our herb collection team. Our Guchen herb collection team has nine people in total. Although there are not many people, they are all good at it. They have been in Huishui Mountain for at least ten years. Now, I know the path clearly."
"Young masters, you can rest assured that you will be satisfied."
Yang Caizai introduced them with a look of satisfaction on his face. After leading the five people into the attic, he clapped his hands. Suddenly, three people slowly walked out of the backyard.
"Now the six people in my herb collection team have gone out on missions, and there are still three people left, but these three are the top three in my Guchen herb collection team. You gentlemen, you can think about it."
When Yu Changsheng heard this, his eyes fell on these three people, and he looked carefully. He saw that these three people were all men, middle-aged, with foundation-building waves radiating from their bodies, and their expressions were calm.
On top of the five people who saw Yu Changsheng, the three of them stepped forward one by one, bowed to several people with clasped fists and raised their hands, and introduced themselves: "The first herbalist of Guchen Herbal Collection Group, Bai Zichen."
"The second herbalist of Guchen Herbal Collection Group, Tang Mohan."
"The third herbalist of Guchen Herbal Collection Group, Guo Feng."
The three of them were dressed simply, and they looked calm and calm when they spoke. There was also a faint blood evil aura that naturally rose from them.
Obviously they are all people who have been fighting for years, and their hands are stained with a lot of blood.
Zhang Tianwen pondered, observed the three of them, and nodded thoughtfully.
Among the three people, the one with the highest cultivation level is Bai Zichen, who has a sixth level of foundation building. The other two are one with a fifth level of foundation building and the other with a fourth level of his own.
After making up his mind, Zhang Tianwen turned around, looked at everyone, thought about it, pointed at Bai Zichen and said:
"Just him, how do you charge for this?"
"This." Yang Caizai was stunned. After seeing who he was pointing at, he suddenly smiled and said, "These young men have really good eyesight. Master Bai is the number one expert in our herb collection team, and his cultivation level has reached Sixth level of foundation building.”
"With his help, no matter what the young masters want to do in Huishui Mountain, they will get twice the result with half the effort. At this price, it may be a bit expensive."
Yang Caizai rolled his eyes, hesitated slightly, then changed the topic and continued:
"However, there is a principle of expensiveness. If you want to win the entire herb collection town, there is probably no more experienced herb collector than Master Bai. And with a sixth-level foundation cultivation, he can also protect several young masters very well. Safety is also guaranteed, isn’t it?”
"Tell me, how much is it?" Zhang Tianwen frowned, too lazy to listen to Yang Caizai's words, so he waved his hand to interrupt him and asked again.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones." Yang Caizai took a deep breath, "According to what I just said, I will give the young masters a 20% discount, which is eighty thousand spirit stones."
"Eighty thousand spirit stones?" Zhang Tianwen raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Eighty thousand spirit stones is not a small amount. Some foundation-building monks may only have a net worth of about 100,000 spirit stones.
"Eighty thousand spirit stones are indeed expensive, but they are worth it." Yang Caizai smiled, showing a hint of flattery.
"These 80,000 spirit stones also cover issues such as the safety of all the gentlemen going up the mountain. For 80,000 spirit stones, it is worth replacing them with a bodyguard at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment."
"Okay," Zhang Tianwen thought for a moment, and without much hesitation, he took a deep look at Yang Caizai, took out eight ten thousand soul tickets, and handed them to Yang Caizai.
"This is 80,000 spiritual stones, here for you, then when do we set off?"
Yang Caizai was overjoyed. After taking the spirit ticket and checking it, he carefully put it away. His smile became even wider. He turned back to Bai Zichen and nodded, saying:
"Then Master Bai, I'll leave this group of young men to you, but you have to treat them well. You can tell them the details."
"Okay." Bai Zichen nodded, took a deep breath, restrained his bloody aura, looked calm, glanced at the five people, and said:
"If you gentlemen have no objections, then let's set off tomorrow morning. Take a day off today and make good preparations before setting off again tomorrow."
"Okay, that's it."
Zhang Tianwen turned around and looked at each other. After they had no objections, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, gentlemen, come with me. There is a residence for you to stay in the backyard. Please stay here for a day. Of course, you can also stroll around this town during this day. Let me know if you need it. That’s it.”
Yang Caizai chuckled, with an eager smile on his face, and left after arranging the accommodation with the five people.
"Okay, for the rest of the day, everyone should make good adjustments and preparations. If you need anything when we go into the mountains tomorrow, just let me know."
Zhang Tianwen warned him and returned to the room.
Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, but was not too busy to go back. It was just early morning, so he turned around and left the Guchen Herb Collection Group, and went to the town for a casual stroll.
The town was bustling with activity, and Yu Changsheng was not in a hurry. He walked around and occasionally stopped to watch for a while when he met someone he was interested in.
"How to sell this Huishui Mountain map?"
A moment later, Yu Changsheng came to a shop and asked while looking at a scroll-like map.
"The simplified version has ten spirit stones, the regular version has 100 spirit stones, and the deluxe version has 1,000 spirit stones. Which one do you want?"
The waiter smiled and said.
"Of course, it may be your first time to come to Huishui Mountain. I suggest you get this luxurious annotated version. It contains the experience of Huishui Mountain summarized by generations of herb collectors. It is key for newcomers. It can play a life-saving role at all times.”
"Then let's get one with 1,000 spirit stones." Yu Changsheng thought for a while, and without hesitation, chose the most detailed one. For him, 1,000 spirit stones is not much nowadays.
"okay."
The waiter smiled, took the map respectfully, and handed it to Yu Changsheng: "The map can only be opened once. Use your spiritual sense to perceive it."
It will be destroyed automatically after that, but please be careful. "
"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded, handed over the spirit stone, and took the map. After a moment of spiritual awareness, the map turned into light spots and slowly dissipated.
