In this world, as long as you have strength, you can get the so-called dignity, honor and disgrace. But if a person like Zhou Xing wants to gain the respect of others, he must work a hundred times a thousand times harder than others, just because he Not only is he weak, but there is no force behind him that can cultivate him into a peerless strong man.
"That's right. I just want to ask, how to get to the nearest town?" Zhou Xing didn't want to refute them. He just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. Although these people had saved his life, but He could be sure that these people did not need his gratitude at all. To them, his gratitude was probably an empty joke. As for the girl who was the most kind to him, Zhou Xing calmly did not disturb him. First of all, that person yesterday She almost coughed out her lungs after receiving the chill from his sword. When that maid saw her, her tiger eyes widened as if she wanted to swallow him. And that kind of person didn't need him to repay his life-saving efforts. Well, he didn't have that ability, so he wisely wanted to stay away from these people, because these people were walking into the deep forest, which was shrouded in mist. The more he went in, the more primitive there was. The breath hit his face. It was obvious that few people entered there, and the more no one dared to come in, the more danger there would be. Today, Zhou Xing didn't think he had the capital to deal with the danger.
"The nearest one is Black Rock City. It takes about ten days to walk east from here, but if you walk south for three days, you can enter the Xuanyun Sect's territory." Zhan Chen said. He was stunned, he didn't expect this person to actually ask for directions, but he still kindly showed him the way, and mentioned Xuanyun Sect seemingly casually. After all, they had already guessed that Zhou Xing might be a disciple of Xuanyun Sect. The unlucky disciple who went to guard the world gate, but when the Xuanyun Sect was mentioned, Zhan Chen didn't see any change on Zhou Xing's face. It seemed that he was very unfamiliar with these things. He frowned slightly. Could it be that he was really not a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect? Zhan Chen thought to himself, but Zhou Xing frowned. He didn't expect that this town was so far away from them. He wanted to go to the nearest Xuanyun Sect, but from the looks of those people, he could It can be seen that this Xuanyun Sect does not seem to be a friendly sect.
"Thank you." Zhan Chen's attitude was not very good, but Zhou Xing still thanked him politely.
"You want to leave?" After Zhou Xing packed up, of course he didn't have anything to pack, so he walked toward the east alone. He wanted to go to the town and do it again. Other plans were just that when he passed the exquisite carriage, the maid still stared at Zhou Xing with that angry look, as if Zhou Xing's departure seemed to be a very angry thing for her.
"Girl, I just want to go to the town." Zhou Xing could only smile bitterly, and then explained what he did very politely.
"Don't you want to repay the favor of saving your life?" Well, women are indeed unreasonable people, and Zhou Xing is also a little helpless. Although he wants to repay the favor, after all, he is just a low-level samurai. In terms of cultivation, compared to this maid, he is like a poor ant, as if he can alwaysHe was trampled to death by her. This little maid shouldn't have needed him.
"Please let me know, girl." Zhou Xing could only say with his hands in hand.
"Look at your behavior. You are as sour as a scholar. Although you are weak, you are not useless. Just come and drive the carriage." The maid said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Girl, it seems that this carriage does not need to be driven." Zhou Xing was stunned again. He did not expect the maid to make such a request, but he could see that the white horse of this carriage was as nimble as Dragon, and seems to have spirituality. Those in the mercenary group these days know very well that the maid can easily pull the carriage by just talking to the horse. The white horse is simply more obedient than humans. , there was no need for a driver at all, but they also saw that the little maid wanted to embarrass Zhou Xing, so she made such a request.
"You don't need to rush, don't you?" The maid looked at Zhou Xing with a confident face, as if to say, let's see if you can act like a cow or a horse for the sake of your savior, and in In her eyes, it seemed like a great honor for Zhou Xing to be a cow and a horse beside them. Zhou Xing looked at the maid, raised his head proudly, and finally had no choice but to sit on the carriage, while the hired men The regiment also packed up their things and headed towards the depths of Yanshan Mountain. Zhou Xing usually did not need to drive them. The white horse seemed to understand the thoughts of the girl sitting in the car and headed towards the depths of Yanshan Mountain.
"Miss, no matter what you are looking for, you can't go any further." As expected, Zhou Xing acted honestly in front of the groom. Even in front of the groom, Zhou Xing was absolutely dedicated, but During these three days, he never saw the masked girl get out of the carriage. Sometimes he even thought that the girl was probably no longer in the carriage, and the unruly maid would not disturb her. , in his opinion, this is a strange pair of master and servant, but this morning, Zhan Chen could not move forward even if he said anything. This place was already deep in the Yanshan Mountain, and there was a primitive atmosphere everywhere, as if filled with endless The danger is high. The towering trees seem to block the sunlight in the sky. The woods look a bit gloomy. The mist is like the Yin Qi rising from the Nine Netherworld, which makes people feel very bad.
"You want to take us to Yuanling Swamp." The arrogant maid frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the words of the leader of the small mercenary team in front of her.
"Miss, go forward from here. Not far away is the Yuanling Swamp. We can only escort you here, and you must not go in." Zhan Chen will not go in even one point. , these days they are rarely harassed by wild beasts, not because of their luck, but because of their black-robed mercenary group, their familiarity with Yanshan Mountain, and the fact that they carry some beast-repelling powder with them, it is probably because of their understanding of the habits of beasts. , so I chose the best path, otherwise it would not be strange to encounter any powerful beast in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, especially the Yuanling Swamp, which is definitely a forbidden land for the human race. Anyone who enters the Yuanling Swamp will never Never came back alive.
"Don't you want money anymore?" The maid frowned.Obviously they were very dissatisfied with Zhan Chen's attitude. You must know that they were just leading the way, but her lady promised ten times the reward. Although the reward was very insignificant in their eyes, to the mercenary group, it was a sky-high price, enough to make They had no worries about food and drink for three to five years. Originally, few mercenary groups were willing to enter the depths of Yanshan Mountain. After all, they could encounter savage beasts with strong martial arts masters at any time here. However, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so the black-robed mercenary group accepted it. Fortunately, they were well prepared for this reward, and they were able to carry out this mission of a lifetime. For this mission, they also spent a lot of money to be able to get here smoothly. However, the horror of Yuanling swamp is simply not the same as the depths of Yanshan Mountain. Level, they no longer dare to take a step forward.
"Even if we don't need money, we can't go any further. The Yuanling swamp is very dangerous." Zhan Chen emphasized the words "very dangerous" because he wanted the maid in front of him to understand that although she was very Strong, but Zhan Chen doesn't think he can cope with the danger of Yuanling Swamp.
"Okay, let's pay them." A gentle and sweet voice sounded. The maid was stunned for a moment, and then she took out a purse from her arms. In the bulging purse, there was only one clear piece. The spar was polished like a rhombus, about the size of a fist. When he saw the spar, the mercenary team leader's face was very horrified. He didn't expect that the maid would use such a treasure.
"I didn't bring any money, is it okay to just use this thing to pay?" Although the maid asked, her tone did not allow others to question her.
"Of course, of course." Zhan Chen nodded excitedly. This thing in the maid's mouth is such an important thing. This kind of thing is called Xuan Jing, which is a place with rich Xuan Qi. Breeding crystals, so the Xuan Qi contains extremely pure Xuan Qi, which can be directly absorbed for practice, and can save the conversion process, so it can save a lot of time for strong martial arts practitioners. Therefore, this kind of Xuan Crystal is also quite rare, of course. It's not impossible, but in a small city like Black Rock City, a piece of low-grade Xuan Crystal is already very rare. This piece of Xuan Crystal is so clean and thorough, it is obviously a middle-grade Xuan Crystal. This is enough to make the entire Black Rock City martial arts cultivators go crazy. This is much better than them. The millions of gold coins previously promised were even more valuable.
Gold coins are a universal currency, but some valuable things are also used for currency purposes, such as some rare ores or spiritual materials. However, the most used ones are this Xuan Jing, and even Xuan Jing. There are faint signs of replacing gold coins. After all, this world is a world of martial arts. I heard that in some prosperous big cities, it has long been popular to use Xuanjing as currency instead of gold coins as hard currency. Xuanjing is divided into ordinary products. Low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, top-grade and heaven-grade. Ordinary grade generally refers to Xuanjing ore, which is a defective product dug out from the ground. This kind of Xuanjing is generally turbid in color, like a ball of muddy water sealed in the crystal. In the stone, and the absorption of Xuan Qi will also be accompanied by some poisonous gas in the crystal, so no one is willing to use this kind of crystal, but it is Xuan Jing after all, and it is still valuable.
Low-grade crystals are just like the crystals that the maid took out, and there is no problem in absorbing them., but the individuals are smaller, only about the size of a thumb. Generally, one hundred low-grade Xuan Crystals can be exchanged for one medium-grade Xuan Crystal, while the upper-grade Xuan Crystal is somewhat different. Although there is no individual distinction between high-grade crystals, there will be a touch of color in the crystal. The brighter the color, the better the crystal. Generally, it is divided into three grades: red crystal that is as colored as blood, green crystal that is as lush as a forest, and blue crystal that is as blue as the sea. Generally, medium-grade crystals of the same volume. To exchange for a red crystal, you need 1,000 yuan, a cyan crystal requires 2,000 yuan, and so on, a blue crystal requires 3,000 yuan. As for the top-grade crystal, it is an extremely rare treasure even in big cities. A piece of top-grade crystal is extremely rare. Xuanjing requires 10,000 blue high-grade Xuanjing and so on. As for the heavenly grade Xuanjing, it is a golden Xuanjing. As for this kind of Xuanjing, it can be said to be priceless, because no one will use a piece of heavenly grade Xuanjing. Exchange for other Xuan Jing.
In places like Black Rock City, most of the Xuan Crystals circulating are of ordinary grade. Occasionally, lower grade Xuan Crystals appear, but they are all taken away by big forces like the City Lord’s Mansion and Xuanyun Sect. As for mid-grade Xuan Crystals, Crystal, maybe the City Lord's Mansion and the Xuanyun Sect own it, but this is enough for them to treat this Xuan Crystal as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and will not sell it at all. If it is taken to the auction house, let alone a million gold coins, even a few A million dollars is not impossible, which is why Zhan Chen was so excited. He almost held the Xuan Jing into his arms with trembling hands. The rich Xuan Qi coming from the Xuan Jing seemed to have caused the Xuan Jing in his Qi Sea to rise. He became a little more angry, and under this situation, he became even more excited.
"This, this, beast-repelling powder has been used here to ensure that no wild beasts will disturb you within ten days. Say goodbye." Zhan Chen was excited and incoherent, but he took Xuanjing into his arms vigorously. Then he gave all his teammates a look, and they walked very quickly towards the way they came. It was too late for even Zhou Xing to keep up with them.
"Miss, these people really recognize money but not people." Seeing those people in black robes who had hired the right people, exiting the woods in an orderly manner, the maid quickly felt dissatisfied and directly left them where they were. This place made her even more depressed. The fear of those people had already been wiped away after the appearance of the mysterious crystal. As if they were afraid that they would regret it, they had already disappeared completely. After a while, they could no longer be heard moving through the woods. .
"Forget it, after all, this is what they rely on for a living." The gentle voice seemed to understand the actions of those people very well.
"Miss, there is Yuanling Swamp ahead, do we want to go in?" Although what those people said made her a little disdainful, she stared at the giant tree forest ahead, and the faint mist seemed to It was covered with a mysterious veil, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"You're already here, how can you not come in?" The carriage door curtain was opened, and the white figure put on a cloak and slowly walked out of the carriage. Although his face was still wearing a white gauze, It can be seen that she is definitely a beauty with a stunning face, but her body seems a bit weak. She coughed twice when she stepped out of the carriage, but Zhou Xing was ignored by them, and Zhou Xing also He is not asking for trouble, after all, a weakling like him,Since you didn't follow those people, you must stay. After all, these two people actually knew that there was danger here and dared to come in. They obviously had some confidence.
"Excuse me, should I wait here for you two to come out?" Finally, after the two girls had been planning for about half an hour, Zhou Xing finally spoke. They seemed to have forgotten that there was another person here. Zhou Xing was now If he didn't speak, he would probably be forgotten by the two of them. After all, Zhou Xing seemed to be in front of them, with a strong sense of presence, and Zhou Xing only wanted him to follow these two girls. Although he didn't want to admit it, now He really needed protection from these two girls.
"Why are you still here?" The maid frowned, as if she had already forgotten that Zhou Xing was the groom who was forcibly recruited by her.
"The girl is so forgetful." Zhou Xing said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, you'd better follow. After all, we may not be able to get out of here within ten days. If we can't get out within ten days, you will be in trouble." The gentle voice was quite Wei said helplessly, the girl also knew how the maid brought Zhou Xing in, but she did not speak to stop her maid.
