Finally, the short one ran away. The tall one wandered around town and finally bought a large bag of medium-grade wheat flour and went home.
☆
Near dusk, before the hunting party entered the city, someone with a keen eye spotted the couple setting up their stall again. This time, they were selling pancakes made with phoenix eggs, wheat flour, and some kind of tea oil. Because of the phoenix eggs and the careful removal of the fishy smell, these pancakes cost two spirit beads each.
A "good-hearted person" bought a ticket and tried it. I have to say that although this couple looks "unreliable", their cooking skills are really good.
The pancake is fragrant as soon as you put it in your mouth, and then the salty and umami flavors follow. You know, salt is also a scarce commodity in the Gustatory Wasteland.
However, after working hard for a long time, when the two were finally about to close their stall, someone tried to sell them pseudo-phoenix eggs. In the end, they exchanged the 300 spirit beads they had just earned for 650 pseudo-phoenix eggs.
The "nosy" noticed that the two men stood at the gate for a long time after buying things. It was probably only then that they realized that they had been cheated.
The meat of the pheasant is fishy, and the eggs are even more famous for their fishy smell. Generally speaking, people don't pick up the eggs after hunting pheasants. Only those who like to eat them, or those who are stingy and can't bear to eat the meat of wild animals, will pick them up and eat them themselves.
But after eating, when talking to others, my mouth is fishy, and the fishy smell can last for a day or two.
Of course, the most important thing is that in big cities, only poor cultivators would buy this thing, and the price is two spirit beads each. But in Dragon Slaying Town, one thousand pseudo-phoenix eggs can only be sold for two or three spirit stones. People only accept round numbers, or according to their mood.

On the third day, the two, considered unreliable by most monks, finally left the city. It was said that they had bad luck, and before they had gone far, they encountered a mad Earth-Splitting Bear that had appeared from nowhere.
As everyone knows, the Earth-Splitting Bear is huge in size and has thick skin. It can smash a crack in the ground with one punch, and can also smash the physical defense of an early Lingyuan realm cultivator with a violent punch. It is a top-level wild beast that is close to a demon beast and surpasses a demon beast (because of its incomplete intelligence).
Upon seeing the mad Earth-Splitting Bear, even a Qi Refiner in the late stage of Qi Refining would immediately retreat.
But the two of them were not in the right mood. It is said that they directly started fighting with the Earth-Splitting Bear.
"Damn, what a scourge that's been lingering for a thousand years! Those two guys were said to have well-tempered bodies and some kind of shield in their hands. The Earth-Splitting Bear finally managed to shatter the shield with three consecutive punches, and guess what happened next?"
"What's wrong?"
"Those two guys ran away a long time ago."
"I didn't run away."
"Didn't run away?"
"Yes, later on, someone reportedly saw those two circling around the Earth-Splitting Bear, teasing it from time to time. The taller one seemed to be deliberately using the Earth-Splitting Bear as a sparring partner."
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Who knows?"
"And then?"
"At noon, someone saw them, changed their clothes, squatting under a clump of sour fruit trees in the south, picking fruit."
"Where's the Earthshatter Bear?"
"I don't know. But it is said that someone saw the Earthshatter Bear heading west."
"Why are there either black monsters or earth-shattering bears lately? Can we get through this frozen world this year?"
"No, should we retreat?"
"You're willing to sacrifice your prey now. Everyone knows that in the Gust of Wind Wasteland, prey is easy to hunt only now. Once the ice and snow are over, even the hunting teams of late-stage Qi Refiners will have to lie dormant."
“…”

"Brother, how about we go inside tomorrow?" Xiao Yu picked the last hawthorn from the hawthorn tree. While they were picking hawthorns today, they planted spiritual rice and spiritual wheat three times.
The current harvest of spiritual rice has reached 50 kilograms, and the spiritual wheat is about the same.
The main reason is that they dare not plant on a large scale, and can only plant rice and wheat seeds in batches of a dozen or even dozens at a time. If they plant a little more, they worry about being discovered.
These monks would even "guard" them for several days just to earn a few spirit stones. If they knew that they could grow spirit food quickly, they would probably not want to live.
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back. Let's continue setting up the stall."
"Hehe, let's go. Brother, were the tea eggs last night delicious?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yanzhi said, "Innate spiritual energy is naturally good."
"Let's collect more. When the sky is frozen, we can absorb the innate energy inside and then sell it."
"As you say."
"I heard there's a kind of wild cattle whose meat is particularly delicious. Although I don't really like beef, I want to try it."
"Wild Bulls are quite popular in the big cities of the Western Wilds. They're a bit like marbling beef. But they also live in groups. In Dragon Slaying Town, hunting teams from the outer cities generally don't provoke them, except for those in the inner city who are in the late Qi Refining stage. However, they are the perfect sparring partners for you and me to practice the Body Tempering Fist. They're also thick-skinned, but full of energy. Once provoked, they'll fight to the death. We should prepare some talismans so we can blast them when the time comes."
"good."
