Chapter 46 The Truth of the Misty Forest
In addition to the rich vitality of the inner city, the streets are also more orderly. The pedestrians walking on the streets are not only more colorful, but also have a stronger aura.
The riding beasts are also different. In addition to wildebeests, there are also fire-scale horses.
It is a kind of wild beast covered with scales, and its hair looks like balls of fire from a distance. It has been tamed and used as a means of transportation.
Wildebeests can only be cultivated into second-level riding beasts at most, while fire-scale horses are third-level wild beasts. Being able to ride a fire-scale horse is also a symbol of status. Those with weak financial resources cannot even afford to raise a fire-scale horse.
The only thing that is not as good as the outer city is that there are not as many pedestrians on the street as in the outer city. The outer city looks more prosperous, but in fact, most people in the outer city are not qualified to enter the inner city, which makes the inner city quieter than the outer city.
It is obvious that people in the inner city enjoy the quietness of the inner city more and dislike the hustle and bustle of the outer city. This is to show the difference from the outer city and to highlight their status.
Walking on the road, Feng Ming did not mind being a country bumpkin in the eyes of others. He looked around curiously at the scenery. Of course, the three of them also became the scenery in the eyes of others.
As soon as they entered the inner city, they were discovered by many people who were secretly paying attention to them. Some people came out specifically to see this father and son and the abandoned genius Bai Qiaomo.
There were also those who were not aware of the situation. Seeing Feng Ming's appearance, they showed contempt in their eyes and said to their companions: "He must have come from outside again. It's rare for him to come to our inner city. He looks like he has never seen the world. It's really embarrassing."
The speaker was Pan Jing, a resident of the inner city. His family had a small business. Although they were not as rich as those wealthy families in the inner city, they had their own house to live in and a small shop. They had no problem making a living.
Pan Jing was also a twin. He was very proud of living in the inner city of Gaoyang County. He always looked down on people from outside the city, let alone people from small places outside Gaoyang County.
He was born with a delicate appearance, not as delicate as Feng Ming, so his words were even more harsh.
His companions were also Shuang'er, surnamed Qi and given name Zhou. The Qi family and the Pan family lived in the same alley.
He had a much sharper eye than Pan Jing, and could tell at a glance that the clothes of these three people were not bad, and their outfits were better than his and Pan Jing's.
However, he always knew Pan Jing's temperament, and it was useless to persuade him. It was better to take the people away quickly to avoid offending others.
The people in the inner city were also divided into levels. If the people in the lower class of the inner city were unfortunate enough to offend the nobles, they could save their lives but might also be expelled from the inner city. Like Pan Jing, he did not want to leave the inner city.
"Didn't you like a piece of clothing? If you don't hurry up, someone else might buy it."
When Pan Jing thought of this possibility, she didn't care to mock the three country bumpkins she saw. She pulled Qi Zhou to the store without Qi Zhou's persuasion: "You're right, we have to hurry up, I've finally saved enough money."
Qi Zhou was thinking in his heart that he should stay away from Pan Jing in the future, especially go out with him less, so as not to be implicated by his unforgiving mouth.
He knew Pan Jing's mind, she wanted to marry a nobleman in the inner city, even if he became her concubine.
Qi Zhou wanted to use the good conditions in the inner city to cultivate himself, so that even if he left the inner city in the future, he could rely on his own strength to go out and support his family.
People who practice cultivation have sharp ears and sharp eyes. Even Feng Ming, the weakest one, heard the conversation between the two people clearly because of his soul power. He shook his head and said, "The people in the inner city are really extraordinary."
But he didn't take it seriously. When he looked up, he saw a striking building in front of him, "Liuyang Pavilion? Is it the Liuyang Pavilion that does business all over Feihong Continent?"
He read this in a book, but Qingyun City didn't have a branch of Liuyang Pavilion. This time he finally saw it in Gaoyang County.
Feng Jinlin and Bai Qiaomo both looked up and said, "Yes, it is the Liuyang Pavilion that does business all over Feihong Continent. It has a very special status and has a good relationship with the three dynasties and Shengyuan Sect."
Bai Qiaomo narrowed his eyes slightly. Liuyang Pavilion is not as simple as it seems. The reason why the three dynasties and Shengyuan Sect allow it to do business all over the continent is more importantly because there is a background outside of Feihong Continent behind Liuyang Pavilion.
Of course, it is also because Liuyang Pavilion only does business and does not interfere in the affairs of Feihong Continent.
Feng Ming excitedly pulled his father and Bai Qiaomo into Liuyang Pavilion together. Liuyang Pavilion is known as a store with everything and the most complete items. Since they are here, how can they miss it.
Liuyang Pavilion occupies a large area. Owning such a piece of land in the inner city shows that it is quite powerful.
The three of them walked into the lobby on the first floor. The space inside was extremely spacious. The various items in the counters were dazzling. It was indeed Liuyang Pavilion. At the first glance, I felt that the largest store in Qingyun City could not compare with it.
There were special shopping guides in the pavilion. They did not look at Fengming and the other two with strange eyes. Instead, they greeted them warmly, asked about their needs, and introduced the items in the pavilion to them.
There were many things in it that Fengming had only heard of but had never seen in person, so he looked at them with great interest.
Someone upstairs noticed the three people coming in. The items displayed in the lobby on the first floor were relatively ordinary, while those on the second floor were fine products, and those on the third floor were even higher in grade.
Two people upstairs were whispering to each other.
"Is that the Shuang'er that Wan Bairong provoked?"
"Didn't you see Bai Qiaomo was next to him? It must be the Shuang'er he married. The man with them should be Feng Jinlin, the son of the Feng family. However, the Feng family is not short of children. He was able to transfer this marriage to Shuang'er, which shows that..."
Some people were jealous of Feng Ming and his son, but they also saw the essence through the appearance. Although Feng Jinlin was indeed the direct descendant of the Feng family, not all direct descendants of the four major families lived a happy life.
One thing is certain, compared to Feng Jintai, the heir of the Feng family, Feng Jinlin's status is far inferior, and may even be inferior to some of the side branches.
Otherwise, why didn't Bai Qiaomo's engagement with the Feng family fall on other people in the Feng family, but on Feng Jinlin's two children.
But there are also inconsistencies: "When many people are unaware of the situation, the head of the Feng family has someone spread the word that these two are his biological son and grandson. The implication seems that he does not care so much about them."
"Why bother so much? Anyway, we don't have any conflict of interest with this father and son. There is no need to offend him, and there is no need to rush to please him. We can just watch from the sidelines."
"That's true."
Feng
Ming and the other two did not notice the conversation upstairs. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were mainly watching, and they paid Yuan Jing to buy Feng Jinlin, a batch of spiritual objects that could nourish Feng Ming's body.
He was willing to spend money on his two children, and a large amount of Yuanjing was thrown out, making the smile on the salesperson's face more enthusiastic and sincere. These three were big customers.
After looking at the first floor, of course they had to go to the second floor to have a look. Feng Jinlin was not someone who could not afford Yuanjing, so the salesperson recommended it to them more diligently.
When the three of them went upstairs, they passed by the two people who had been talking before. The two people just glanced at Feng Jinlin and the other two, and did not stop talking.
"Brother Chen, have you heard about the mercenary group that has recently been trapped in the Misty Forest?"
"Has anyone tried to break into the Misty Forest again? Why do some people keep thinking that they can get something great out of the Misty Forest? Is there anyone who hasn't heard about the weirdness of that place?" "
You know that someone once brought out a fifth-grade spiritual herb from the depths of the Misty Forest and became rich overnight. There are always some greedy people who don't believe in it and think they are the lucky ones or that they are capable enough."
"Haha, they are so greedy. If you accidentally break into that place, you can still get out and be safe. But if a greedy person goes in, he will be in danger of death."
"That's why there are so many legends about the Misty Forest. Most people believe that there is a mansion of a great and powerful predecessor hidden deep in the Misty Forest. As long as you enter the mansion, you can obtain countless natural treasures and the inheritance of the great and powerful. Who can resist this temptation?"
The conversation between the two gradually faded away. Bai Qiaomo, who was walking on the stairs, paused, turned his head casually, and glanced at the backs of the two people.
Misty Forest, how could he forget about the Misty Forest? The conversation between the two reminded him.
Bai Qiaomo was thinking about something, but others couldn't see it on his face. However, Feng Ming could sense that he was distracted. He nudged him with his elbow and whispered in his ear: "What are you thinking about? Is it the Misty Forest that those two people mentioned before? What kind of place is that?"
Bai Qiaomo looked at Feng Ming with amusement and whispered: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Okay." Feng Ming's eyes were bright. When he heard Bai Qiaomo say this, he knew that this Misty Forest was of great significance.
Was it gossip to be heard, or treasure to be explored? Either way, he was very interested.
Because there was something more interesting, Feng Ming didn't stay in the inner city for too long. This place was nothing more than a place to spend more money. Did he think that Feng Ming's vision was so narrow? So he dragged his father and Bai Qiaomo back to the residence in the outer city.
This made the children of the noble families and other cultivators in the inner city who were waiting to observe Feng Ming and the other two very disappointed. Why did they leave so quickly? Some
people even thought that the father and son would come to the inner city and find an excuse to go back to the Feng family. As a result, the father and son really passed by the house without entering. Whether it was the children of the Feng family or other cultivators, they all felt regretful.
Feng Jinlin, who was nearby, certainly heard the conversation between Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. When they returned to their residence, Feng Jinlin warned: "The Misty Forest is too dangerous. You two, don't think about going there. Qiaomo should be very familiar with it."
Without outsiders, Bai Qiaomo didn't mind talking more, not seeing the look on Feng Ming's face urging him to speak quickly.
Bai Qiaomo said, "Qiaomo knows, thank you uncle for reminding me, but as far as I know, there is indeed a mansion hidden deep in the Misty Forest, and it contains the inheritance that Brother Ming needs most right now."
Feng Ming was surprised and said, "Could it be the inheritance of a pharmacist? Is there a mansion left behind by a master of alchemy in the Misty Forest?"
Feng Jinlin's heart beat faster, he knew how difficult it was to obtain a pharmacist's inheritance.
He didn't care before, but when Feng Ming showed amazing talent in the art of alchemy, he actually secretly inquired about the news in this regard, such as where the pharmacist's mansion appeared.
Feng Ming's talent is too special. He can easily refine the best flawless pill, but his cultivation qualifications are too poor. There will be sects and pharmacists who are interested in him, but they may not pay too much attention to Feng Ming.
And given Feng Ming's physical condition, he is not too confident to let Feng Ming leave his side and join a sect.
The time is too short, and neither he nor Feng Yue got any clues. He didn't expect to hear about it from Bai Qiaomo.
The name of the Misty Forest in Gaoyang County is known to few cultivators. It is a well-known dangerous place in Gaoyang County. A cultivator from a first-class city once came to explore, but returned empty-handed. He believed that there was a huge natural maze there.
Feng Jinlin asked calmly: "Is what you said true or false? How did you tell?" Feng Ming
was calm at this time: "Sit down and talk slowly." Feng Jinlin glanced at his two children unhappily, but did not object: "Then sit down and talk slowly." Bai Qiaomo knew Feng Ming's habits to some extent. After sitting down, he not only made tea, but also brought snacks for Feng Ming to chew while listening. Feng Jinlin took a look and felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be better than he thought. Seeing Bai Qiaomo taking care of his two children in every way, he was of course happy as a father. After doing all this, Bai Qiaomo spoke: "Some people say that there is a natural maze there. This is true, but someone took advantage of the maze there and strengthened the effect of the formation. If you are unlucky enough to get in by mistake, you will be repelled by the formation and it will be easy to walk out. But if you go deeper, the mist there will be poisonous." Bai Qiaomo glanced at Feng Jinlin and said, "Uncle, have you ever heard of the Misty Butterfly?" "Missy Butterfly?" Feng Jinlin rubbed his eyebrows and thought, "A poisonous creature that is said to have been extinct long ago? Could it be that there is a group of Misty Butterflies living in the depths of the Misty Forest? If so, it can explain why the cultivators who go deep into the Misty Forest will be in danger of death." Even this poisonous creature is extinct, it would be difficult for the outside world to find a pill to cure this poison. "How is this Miyou Butterfly connected to the pharmacist?" Feng Jinlin asked in confusion. Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Uncle guessed right, there is indeed a nest of Miyou Butterflies inside. I once got a very strange news. There was a pharmacist in Shengyuan Sect who got the eggs of Miyou Butterfly by chance and hatched them luckily. Later, this pharmacist violated the sect's taboos and was wanted by Shengyuan Sect. But after leaving Shengyuan Sect, he completely lost contact and no one knew where he went." Feng Jinlin was surprised and said, "Is it the pharmacist of Shengyuan Sect? Is this news true?" If it is true, this news is too valuable. Shengyuan Sect is the only sect that can compete with the three great dynasties and is the top sect on Feihong Continent. A pharmacist from Shengyuan Sect must have a good heritage of refining medicine. If he could get it, it would be the best. As for whether he would be discovered by Shengyuan Sect and violate Shengyuan Sect's taboos, he would have to wait until he could leave Dongmu Dynasty and reach Shengyuan Sect. Feng Ming was also very surprised, but he guessed that this news should have been obtained by Bai Qiaomo in his previous life, not in this life.
It is very likely that in his previous life, Bai Qiaomo came to the territory of Shengyuan Sect and learned about it from the disciples of Shengyuan Sect. He thought of the various strange situations in Misty Forest and connected the defected alchemist with Misty Forest, guessing the whereabouts of the alchemist.
Feng Ming was curious, in Bai Qiaomo's previous life, did someone solve the mystery of Misty Forest and obtain the alchemy skills in the mansion?
It was indeed as Feng Ming thought. Bai Qiaomo went to the territory of Shengyuan Sect in his previous life and heard a rumor. He concluded that the alchemist of Shengyuan Sect died in the depths of Misty Forest.
This person is not only a fifth-grade alchemist, but also a rare expert in formation.
Bai Qiaomo nodded and said, "This news should be correct. Uncle just needs to find out what symptoms those cultivators who have escaped from the depths of the Misty Forest have, and then we can judge whether they have been poisoned by the Misty Butterfly."
Bai Qiaomo described in detail the characteristics of being poisoned by the Misty Butterfly, so that Feng Jinlin could go and find out the news, and also told him the solution to the poison.
If there is no solution, even if they know that there is a legacy left by the master of alchemy, it will be useless.
Because with their strength, they can't withstand the poison, and if they break in, the result will not be much better.
How to cure this poison was something that Bai Qiaomo learned from other continents after he left Feihong Continent, because although the Miyou Butterfly was extinct in Feihong Continent, it was not extinct in some continents.
Feng Jinlin's face showed a strange color when he heard it, and he obviously did not expect that the solution to the Miyou Butterfly poison would be so simple. However, this is simple for those who know it, but it is fatal for those who do not know it.
He knows that those who are lucky enough to escape from it will not live for long, and they will still die in the end. For the current cultivators, this poison has no solution.
Feng Jinlin couldn't sit still any longer. If the situation was the same as Bai Qiaomo said, then they could take the risk and go deep into the Misty Forest to see if the pharmacist of Shengyuan Sect had left his medicine-making heritage in his mansion.
Feng Jinlin immediately asked someone to inquire about the news, and at the same time, he had to be careful not to reveal any clues that would arouse suspicion.
Feng Jinlin left, Feng Ming blinked curiously: "Does this mansion have an owner or no owner?"
Bai Qiaomo explained with a smile: "Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone getting there. If I hadn't accidentally heard the conversation between the two cultivators in Liuyang Pavilion today, I wouldn't have remembered the specialness of this Misty Forest for a while. This is also your good fortune, brother Ming. If it weren't for you, brother Ming, I wouldn't have remembered this."
He himself was not good at refining medicine, so this news was not of much value to him, so even if he heard it, he wouldn't take it too seriously.
But now he knows that Feng Ming just lacks a heritage of refining medicine. If he can get such a heritage, it will be even more powerful for Feng Ming, and his talent in refining medicine will be even greater.
Within his ability, he is willing to lend a helping hand to Feng Ming.
Since it was ownerless, Feng Ming had no guilt at all and wanted to take this inheritance for himself.
He said with great joy: "I should really thank the two cultivators in Liuyang Pavilion. Brother Bai, you are so kind. If I can get the inheritance of refining medicine, I will definitely refine better pills for you."
Bai Qiaomo was also happy to be able to help Feng Ming: "Didn't you say that you would pay for my future pills?"
Feng Ming nodded happily: "Yes, I will pay for everything. I guarantee that you will use the best pills."
