Chapter 161: Dragon Inner Pill
The lonely building located in the center of the lonely city is not as bleak as its name sounds at all. Not only is the solitary building located in the middle of the busy city, with a constant flow of people coming and going all around, but the solitary building itself is also majestic and covers a huge area.
When Huan Yin walked into the first floor of the lonely building, what caught his eyes was a dazzling array of magic weapons of all kinds, whether they were ones Huan Yin had seen or not, they were all here.
"Fellow Taoist, is there a map of Yanzhou for sale in the Gulou?" Huan Yin asked a maid standing on the first floor.
The maid asked herself when she saw a heroic young monk, and said with a smile: "The map is on the third floor."
"Thank you." Huan Yin thanked the maid and walked up to the upper floor.
The third floor of the solitary building is where books are sold, and the map Huan Yin wants is also here.
When Huan Yin stepped onto the third floor, there was no one else here except a maid and an old man who was taking a nap. It seems that things like classics are really not very popular in the eyes of monks.
"Excuse me, is there a map of Yanzhou here?" Huan Yin walked up to the maid and asked her.
The maid smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist, please see, the maps stored here are all my maps of Yanzhou. Just choose which one you want." The maid said while taking Huan Yin to a bookshelf.
Huan Yin nodded to the maid, and then began to look at the map of Yanzhou on the bookshelf.
I have to say that the maps here are indeed very complete, whether they focus on terrain distribution, regional introduction, or even introduction to local immortal sects, they are all available.
However, Huan Yin turned around for a long time, then walked back to the maid and asked: "Fellow Taoist, are these the only maps of Yanzhou?"
The maid obviously did not expect that none of those maps could meet Huan Yin's requirements, and asked in surprise: "Fellow Taoist, what kind of map do you want?"
Huan Yin replied: "The more specific the better."
"Young man, have you brought enough spirit stones?" This time, before the maid could say anything else, the old man who had been napping suddenly opened his eyes slightly and asked Huan Yin.
Seeing that it was the old man who spoke, Huan Yin bowed to him: "Senior, this is my first time to Yanzhou and I know nothing about this place. So as long as the map contains detailed information, I will give up the spirit stone."
The old man nodded, stood up and came: "Then come in with me." After saying that, he walked towards a small door covered by a curtain on this floor.
After Huan Yin followed the small door, the old man was already sitting in the middle of the small room inside the door, holding a light yellow disc with a faint light in his hand.
"Come, let's try inserting your spiritual thoughts into this disc." The old man saw Huan Yin coming in and greeted him.
Huan Yin took the old man's disk and immediately probed his mind into the disk. Upon hearing this, Huan Yin was immediately surprised.
I don't know what kind of treasure this disc is. When Huan Yin penetrated it with his spiritual thoughts, the map of the entire Yanzhou clearly appeared in his mind. Moreover, the information on this map is so detailed that it not only includes all the contents recorded on the map on the bookshelf outside, but even the small strongholds of the sect and the mineral veins it occupies are clearly marked on it. Not only that, the map also shows how many people there are in the strongholds and mineral veins of these cultivating sects, and what their highest level of cultivation is.
Huan Yin quickly found the exhausted mineral vein of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate that helped him escape from death yesterday, and then he discovered that the number of people here was marked as "zero" on the map.
Huan Yin's face was full of confusion, because the number of people and cultivation levels in each place should be constantly changing. How could this map be accurately recorded?
Therefore, Huan Yin withdrew his spiritual thoughts and looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. However, before he could ask, the old man spoke first as if he knew what he was going to ask: "The thing in your hand is called 'Gu'." The "dish" is a special map that can only be purchased in our isolated city. All the information on this map is collected daily by our monks scattered across Yanzhou, and then the information on the map is compiled every day. It will be updated at noon. As for the level of detail, I believe you have already experienced it.”
After listening to the old man's explanation, Huan Yin felt horrified in his heart. This "lonely disk" is some kind of map. It is clearly a piece of information that is updated daily. With this thing in hand, no matter where you go in Yanzhou, you can know the situation of the entire Yanzhou well.
"The strength of Gucheng is really extraordinary." Huan Yin suddenly felt that he had underestimated this Gucheng.
"Senior, how many spiritual stones does this 'lonely disc' have?" Huan Yin asked the old man.
When the old man saw Huan Yin asking about the price, he knew that he was interested in buying it. He, who had always been lazy, became more energetic and put on a typical businessman look: "One hundred thousand spiritual stones, one is not a lot!"
Huan Yin's eyes widened: "It's so expensive!"
The old man laughed and said, "Do you know how many manpower our lonely city needs to station outside the intelligence above to update it every day?"
"What happens if this map becomes invalid in the future?" Huan Yin asked.
The old man seemed to have heard some incredible question and chuckled: "Invalid? If the lonely city collapses one day, maybe your question will be answered."
Finally, Huan Yin spent 100,000 spiritual stones to buy the solitary dish.
"It's really not easy to be a guest in a foreign country." Huan Yin looked at the lonely dish in his hand. He thought that if he were in Yangzhou, even if it was a thousand spiritual stones, he probably wouldn't use it to buy this thing.
After Huan Yin left the third floor, he went to the fifth floor. This is the place to buy elixirs. Although he still has a lot of elixirs given to him by Ye Wuyou in his Qiankun bag, after the life-and-death battle two days ago, he has realized the difficulty of this trip. So he wants to prepare more commonly used elixirs and elixirs that he doesn't have at present, just in case of an accident.
Huan Yin kept looking at various elixirs on the fifth floor, and from time to time took one or two out of the medicine cabinet to examine them carefully. However, when he walked to the center of this floor, a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
This is a feeling of desire, as if something nearby is calling him, asking him to move in that direction. Huan Yin was secretly shocked, and then looked behind him - this is the direction that gave him that strange desire.
In front of him, a silver medicine cabinet appeared in Huan Yin's eyes, and on the top of this medicine cabinet were two words - Inner Elixir.
After Huan Yin approached the medicine cabinet, he found that the medicine cabinet was divided into many small compartments, and under each compartment, there was a name of a monster, such as the spirit fox, stone tiger, Ran Yi, etc.
When Huan Yin's eyes stayed on a medicine compartment marked as "Jiaolong", the desire in his chest suddenly became extremely strong, and his whole body even began to tremble slightly, as if the thing in this medicine compartment was the source of his attraction.
Huan Yin tried hard to suppress the desire in his chest, and then put his eyes into the medicine compartment and saw the dark blue fist-sized pill clearly.
This is a very ordinary pill, and it doesn't even have a luster. It is just placed there so dimly, but Huan Yin is very sure at this moment that what he needs is this inconspicuous thing, because he feels that his blood is almost boiling.
"Daoyou, what is this?" Huan Yin turned to the maid closest to him and asked, with a little trembling in his tone.
"Fellow Daoist, you are not from Yanzhou, right? This is something unique to our Yanzhou, called the inner elixir. This inner elixir is a kind of crystal in the body of a spirit beast, and every spirit beast must have one. The inner elixir is the foundation of the spirit beast's cultivation, and for us, it is a material for alchemy."
"Our Yanzhou has a lot of spirit beasts and is close to the sea, so here we have some casual cultivators who specialize in hunting spirit beasts in the grassland and the sea to earn spirit stones. This inner elixir is one of the daily harvests of these hunters."
"As for the effect of each spirit beast's inner elixir..."
The maid wanted to continue, but Huan Yin interrupted her and asked anxiously: "How many inner elixirs of this dragon do you have here?" Huan Yin was so anxious because he didn't care about the effect of these inner elixirs at all. He only cared about the inner elixir of the dragon. Because the desire in his heart kept telling him: Eat it!
The maid was a little surprised to see Huan Yin's anxiety, because the inner elixir was a very common thing here. But she still answered politely: "Daoyou, please wait a moment. I will ask the manager of this floor."
After a while, a middle-aged man was brought to Huan Yin by a maid. The middle-aged man smiled at Huan Yin and said: "Daoyou, do you need the inner elixir of Jiaolong to make medicine?" The middle-aged man subconsciously thought that Huan Yin was a young alchemist, because only alchemists would buy inner elixir.
Huan Yin did not comment and asked directly: "How many do you have in total?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Although Jiaolong is not common, we still have no less than fifty Jiaolong inner elixirs in our lonely building. It's just that the existing Jiaolong inner elixir is not too high in grade, and none of them exceed the concentration period. If I remember correctly, the highest grade is the Jiaolong inner elixir of the middle stage of concentration."
"How many spirit stones?" Huan Yin asked directly.
Seeing that Huan Yin was sincere in wanting to buy, the middle-aged man said to Huan Yin: "Do you want to buy all of them?"
Huan Yin's desire was hard to express, but he still answered with all his strength: "It can't be too expensive."
The middle-aged man laughed and led Huan Yin to a small room to discuss the deal.
A moment later, Huan Yin walked out of the lonely building. At this moment, there were a total of 51 dragon inner pills in his Qiankun bag, which he bought at the cost of 150,000 spirit stones.
Now he was going back to his cave, because he felt that he could no longer resist the strong desire. He had to go back and take a good look at why the dragon's inner pill caused such a big reaction in him.
