"Senior, do you want to take this?"

Another casual cultivator walked in. He was wearing yellow clothes, had a square face and round eyes, and looked like a very upright person.

That is, in the blink of an eye, when he glanced at Chen Sheng and Zhou Lie, he revealed a hint of caution and eagerness.

Then, he took out a stone, which had a faint medicinal fragrance, was bright yellow and clear, and indescribably warm.

"Um?"

Zhou Lie took a look and couldn't figure out what it was. His first feeling was that it was some unknown medicinal stone.

The basis for this is that it has a medicinal aroma and its shape also matches the characteristics, so it seems to be some kind of mineral.

"I found this in an alchemist's cave. It's a good thing."

The monk in yellow took the opportunity to explain.

"It does have medicinal properties, but..."

Zhou Lie slowly came to his senses and his eyes changed, but he did not look at the monk in yellow. Instead, he looked at the "medicine stone", trying to see something.

"But you're not sure? You can take it down and do some research."

The monk in yellow was delighted and urged Zhou Lie to take the unknown medicinal stone and study its pharmacology. It would surely become famous far and wide.

"Teacher, what does this mean?"

Zhou Lie glanced at the yellow-robed monk indifferently, then turned his head and looked at his teacher Chen Sheng with a puzzled look.

He saw the clue and realized that the "medicine" on hand was fake.

This guy had bad intentions and almost deceived him.

However, this method is indeed not bad. You can learn from it and broaden your horizons.

"It's a fraudulent method created by alchemists to specifically harm fellow novices."

Mr. Chen had already seen through the origin of the yellow stone. It was a man-made thing, useless and poisonous. It was purely used by a corrupt alchemist to harm his fellow alchemists.

This is why Zhou Lie didn’t notice it at first.

Because I was targeted.

"Ah? Impossible!"

The monk in yellow was startled and panicked, but he did not show it on his face and tried to act righteous and confident.

"Spiritual herbs have thousands of properties, but they must contain spiritual energy and medicinal power. Your thing doesn't have that. It is made by smelting various stone ores with external objects. Once burned with fire, its bottom will be exposed."

Chen Sheng had an indifferent expression and revealed all the details of the so-called unknown medicine.

This thing, when burned with fire, will emit a pungent and unpleasant smell, which is definitely not something that a natural and naturally produced treasure of alchemy, such as medicinal stones, would have.

"This... I don't know, I just got it by chance."

The monk in yellow accepted his fate and looked dejected, but he would never admit that he had set up a trap to trick Chen Sheng and the other man.

"Maybe not. This thing is poisonous. If you keep it on you for a long time, you will definitely notice it."

Mr. Chen would not wrongly accuse a good person, but he had a reason. If you keep this thing on your body for a long time, your mind will feel like it is being pricked by needles and your body will feel a burning pain. It is impossible for the person who owns it not to investigate the cause.

Once the cause was found, the thing would have been thrown away long ago and would not have been carried around.

"this……"

The yellow-robed monk's face turned pale. He bought this thing on the black market, specifically to deceive alchemists. He succeeded every time after trying it several times and made a huge profit.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was only taken out for a short time and all the details were seen through.

"Get out."

Mr. Chen was not a person without temper. He roared and became furious. The monk in yellow fell down and rolled on the ground several times.

The other party's crime did not deserve the death penalty, but Mr. Chen did not let him have an easy time. His mind was shaken and he would need to recuperate for at least three to five months.

This stronghold became more and more famous in the Wenshuo Mountains because of its fairness and justice, and the lack of fraud and deception.

Many independent cultivators regard this place as the first choice for selling medicinal stones. Some even complain that other things cannot be replaced and ask Chen Sheng to add a few more categories.

In response, Mr. Chen just smiled. He didn't come to the Wenshuo Mountains to do business and couldn't waste time.

This day.

A young man came to the stronghold. He could barely be considered a casual cultivator, at the second level of Qi Refining. He had clear eyes and a natural sense of tranquility.

He was wearing a pair of cloth shoes covered in mud, his clothes were wet with dew, and he had a backpack filled with herbs. He was a herbalist.

"Senior, do you accept this?"

The young boy who was picking herbs reached into his arms. He was really a newbie and didn't even have a storage bag. With a few clangs, he placed the three medicinal stones on the table.

"Is this all yours?"

Zhou Lie took a serious look at the other person. He was a casual cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining. It was really strange that he could come up with these things.

"That's right."

The young boy who collected herbs nodded. He had very little knowledge about cultivating immortals. He just knew that these things should be worth some money, but he didn't know how valuable.

"how come."

Zhou Lie took a close look at the young man who was picking herbs. He was clean and not the kind of person who would cheat or swindle others.

“I picked it up.”

The herbalist boy said honestly.

"Um?"

Zhou Lie's eyes flashed with surprise, then he looked at the young man picking herbs, who didn't look like he was joking, and said, "I'll take the things. A total of one thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

This young man was quite lucky. He had acquired a lot of cultivation resources at a young age, which was enough for him to reach three or two small realms.

"so much."

The young boy who was collecting herbs was also shocked. This amount of money was much more than he expected.

"This swallow-shaped stone is called the Swallow Patrol Stone. It is a first-grade, superior spiritual herb and is worth 750 mid-grade spiritual stones."

Zhou Lie explained that among the three medicinal stones, the other two were ordinary and worth two hundred and fifty medium-grade spirit stones. The one that really sold for a high price was a piece called Yanxun Stone, which was ranked as the first-grade top grade and was extremely rare, so it was several times more expensive.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"You are a good man."

The young herbalist was very happy to get a thousand mid-grade spirit stones and a small storage bag given by Zhou Lie. He thanked Zhou Lie before leaving.

"This way of praising someone..."

Zhou Lie was stunned for a moment. He felt that this thank you was strange, but the other person was very serious and his words came from the heart.

"What he said is true. Some people with pure minds can intuitively sense good and evil."

Chen Sheng looked at the herbalist's departing back and exclaimed in admiration that a young boy who did not know how to cultivate immortality had actually reached the second level of Qi Refining.

Judging from his attire, he is a herbalist. Perhaps he was transformed from a mortal to an immortal by chance.

He has a pure mind and great blessings, and is someone who can achieve great things through cultivation.

Chen Sheng's base had been in operation for three months, and he had collected a lot of medicinal stones of all sizes, but there was no trace of the green fungus stone at all.

"Teacher, you will find it sooner or later."

Zhou Lie also wanted to find the blue fungus stone, but this thing requires a bit of luck, and if you force it, it can sometimes make you depressed to death.

"You manage this place, I'll go look for it in the mountains."

Chen Sheng took the initiative to attack because he had almost traded away all the stocks of independent cultivators in Wenshuo Mountains during this period of time.

The probability of the appearance of blue fungus stone is getting smaller and smaller. If we continue to waste time on it, it will be a waste of time.

"No!"

Mr. Chen did not wander around randomly. He went to a place where green fungus stone was produced.

The geographical environment here is really wonderful, like a natural formation, and the center of the formation is the green fungus stone.

However, as the green fungus stone was dug out, the formation here was broken, and there was no mystery anymore. Only a special aura could be seen.

The same situation occurred in several places in a row.

Mr. Chen’s idea of ​​finding old pit jade was completely shattered, and he could only start a carpet search.

His strategy was to advance deeper into the Wenshuo Mountains. The deeper they went, the less people there were, and the more likely they would find undiscovered green fungus stones.

"roar"

A demon beast in the Foundation Establishment Realm stood on the top of the mountain, its fur like burning flames and its eyes shining with divine light. As Chen Sheng broke in, it let out a roar.

It did not charge forward. At its current level, it had gained enough wisdom and had no intention of fighting, so it would use deterrence instead.

"I was just passing by."

Mr. Chen explained and turned to leave.

Sure enough, this Foundation Establishment Realm monster understood and did not charge forward, allowing Chen Sheng's figure to slowly fade away.

"Collect something."

There were few traces of cultivators along the way, and the number of spiritual herbs in the jungle suddenly increased.

Chen Sheng picked all the spiritual herbs he could reach and put them into his storage bag, then walked on his way.

"roar"

Another Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast appeared, this one was a blue flame lion, its body was tall, like a small mountain, it was as aggressive as fire when it walked, and extremely violent.

It saw Chen Sheng and roared, with murderous intent emanating from its body, extremely strong.

“Just passing by!”

Mr. Chen explained and turned and left.

"roar"

Unexpectedly, the Blue Flame Lion moved and blocked Chen Sheng's way, opening its mouth wide with a glimmer of a hunter's light in its eyes.

"Evil beast, my sword is not weak."

Mr. Chen understood that he was being targeted, but he did not panic. Since he dared to go deep into the Wenshuo Mountains, he was confident and did not enter rashly.
