Three hours later, Gu Yao and his companions finally found the temporary settlement that Shi Cheng mentioned. During the three-hour journey, they killed more than a dozen void beasts.
The temporary settlement was also protected by a fairy formation, but its solidity and defense level could not be compared with the upper, middle and lower cities. It could not withstand the impact of a large number of void beasts, but it also provided a temporary resting place for the monks who went out of the city to fight.
Seeing that someone else was coming, the monk guarding the entrance and exit of the formation looked vigilantly. When he saw Shi Cheng and his party abandoning the flying boat, he felt relieved because he knew Shi Cheng and his Thunder Squad. But when he saw the injuries on their bodies, he was startled again. When they got closer, he asked:
"What's the matter with you? Are you in trouble?"
Shi Cheng waved his hand and said, "We are in trouble too. We are besieged by dozens of void beasts. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Ye and his men who happened to hear the cries for help and rushed over, I don't know how many people in our team would have escaped alive."
So that's how it is. The monk looked at Chi Changye and his companions with higher regard and politely invited them in. At the same time, because of the news Shi Cheng brought back, the vigilance of the settlement was increased. A three-hour journey is actually not very far in this battlefield, especially for creatures like void beasts that often travel in the void, so this distance is nothing.
Shi Cheng and the Thunder Squad often come to this settlement, so many people know him and come out to greet them. When they learn about their experiences, their faces become solemn. Recently, such situations have been increasing, making it difficult for people to take it lightly. When they learn that Gu Yao and his four men rescued the Thunder Squad from the siege of dozens of void beasts, they are in awe again.
The Thunder Squad came to the place where they often stayed, took out the tents and portable caves, and the nearby monks also specially made a place for Gu Yao and his four men to rest.
There are no buildings here, only portable caves and tents. Once danger occurs, they can pack up and retreat quickly at any time.
If Gu Yao and his four companions had not rescued Team Zhen Lei and displayed their strength, as newcomers, they would not have had a good position in such a settlement and could only stay in a corner. Although there were only two early stage celestial beings in the team of four, they were able to rescue Shi Cheng and others from the siege of dozens of void beasts. Their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, there were only four of them, yet they dared to wander around in this extremely dangerous battlefield. Either they were ignorant of the immensity of the world, or they were confident enough.
Judging from the current situation, they should belong to the latter, which is enough to win the respect of the monks in the settlement. In the end, the strong are respected in the battlefield. As long as you are strong, you can win the respect of the monks in the battlefield. Yuheng Immortal Emperor can be famous because of this.
Gu Yao and his four companions did not show any courtesy and prepared a portable cave before coming. After they were released, they went into the cave to adjust their breathing and restore themselves to the best condition.
Two days later, the four walked out of the cave again and saw that the atmosphere in the settlement was much more tense than when they first came that night, and not many people stopped to greet them.
Xu Chuan, who felt that he was acting as a logistics officer, stopped one person and asked a few questions. He came back and told Gu Yao and the others that there was a trading area that had spontaneously formed in the settlement just ahead.
Not long after they walked, they saw the so-called trading area. It was really small. There were a few stalls on both sides of the road, and only two mobile shops were considered more formal.
The four of them came to the nearest mobile shop, intending to ask if they would accept void beast corpses and what the price was. They would clear out as much as they could. Here, immortal stones were more useful as a cultivation resource than other things.
"My fellow Taoists, it's not that our shop doesn't want to sell, it's really that we have sold out all the stock. What elixirs can we sell to you? As you all know, the number of cultivators injured has increased a lot recently. I don't know what's going on in Void City. The elixirs that we used to be able to supply often
have problems. Do you think we don't want to sell more elixirs to earn immortal stones?" "What went wrong in Void City? We have been on the battlefield for the past few years and have never returned to Void City. Shopkeeper, what happened? Is it going to be like this in the future? Even so, the price of your elixirs has tripled compared to before. If it continues like this, we might as well go back to Void City and rest."
"How can a small caravan like us get inside information? I don't know if the elixirs are monopolized by the big merchants or what. Anyway, we tried to buy some goods in the past, but there was none, especially healing elixirs."
Several monks who came to the shop to buy elixirs looked very unhappy. One of them sighed and said, "Let's not make things difficult for the shopkeeper. I think we should withdraw first and go back to Zhongsan City. There must be healing elixirs for sale there."
"That's all we can do. Let's pack up and leave as soon as possible."
Several people walked out. Gu Yao and his group were about to walk in. Gu Yao looked up at Chi Changye, who nodded slightly. So Gu Yao said, "Do you need some pills? I wonder if this bottle of healing pills is suitable?"
The leader said in surprise, "Are you an immortal pill master?"
As soon as this was said, the shopkeeper in the shop also looked up in surprise. Would an immortal pill master come to the battlefield? Would he want to die? Even if he came, he would stay in the city there, because it was the safest place. Even if he encountered a large riot of void beasts, he could retreat to the void city in time through the teleportation array.
"Yes." Gu Yao replied with a smile.
The man took the jade bottle half-believingly, opened it and took a look. He immediately held the jade bottle tightly in his palm, fearing that Gu Yao would regret and take it back: "Yes! We want this bottle of elixir. Thank you, fellow Taoist. Here are the immortal stones for buying the elixir."
The man quickly threw a bag to Gu Yao and quickly put the jade bottle into his storage ring.
Gu Yao scanned the number of immortal stones in his eye bag, which was twice the psychological price he estimated. He put the bag away: "Deal
."
The man was overjoyed, bowed to Gu Yao and his party, and then left. His companions didn't quite understand the situation.
After they left the store and listened to the man's explanation, cheers came from outside.
The shopkeeper didn't know where to go, but when a fairy alchemist really came to their temporary settlement, he hurried out from the counter and stared at Gu Yao with shining eyes: "This fairy alchemist, our shop is willing to buy the pills in the hands of the alchemist at a high price
."
Xu Chen touched his chin and smiled like a profiteer: "Let's talk about the pills first. Does your shop accept the corpses of void beasts?" The shopkeeper grinned and said: "Yes! Of course! Our shop has the most reasonable price!"
In order to win over the fairy alchemist, they are willing to buy the corpses of void beasts at a high price. Only when the fairy alchemist is satisfied will he sell the pills to them.
"Just collect them, just collect them." Xu Chen laughed, and Xu Chuan beside him
immediately handed over a storage ring filled with Void Beast corpses. The shopkeeper took it and probed with his consciousness, and his mouth twitched. There were really a lot of them. It was hard to imagine that these four people had hunted them. He suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively: "Are the four Taoist friends the ones who saved the Thunder Squad and brought them back?"
"That's right." Xu Chuan replied.
The shopkeeper looked at them with a more subtle look. Many of the Void Beast corpses he had seen before were killed in one blow, and some had wounds that could not even be seen. When did powerful figures appear on the Void Beast battlefield again? Especially when there were immortal pill masters among them, so he decided to build good relationships with these people even if he had to pay immortal stones.
"Four Taoist friends, please wait a moment. I will take people to calculate the price of these void beasts."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper called the waiter to entertain them, and he went to the back to evaluate the price of this batch of corpses with the special appraisers. When the void beast corpses piled up into a small mountain in the backyard, they were all shocked. Then they found another problem: "The beast cores in the heads of these void beasts are missing."
The shopkeeper guessed: "Isn't there an immortal pill master in their team? Maybe this immortal pill master also knows how to use beast cores to refine immortal pills
. If so, it would be even better. We have to give a higher price. I hope to purchase some pills from them later.
"
"In that case... I'm worried that we won't have enough immortal stones." They would be taking great risks if they went deep into the battlefield to do business, so the amount of immortal stones they could carry with them was limited.
"Try to get as much as you can, estimate the price first and then hold the person back."
"Okay."
Gu Yao and the others didn't have to wait too long, the shopkeeper came out, he took out a piece of fairy armor first, and asked Gu Yao and the others if they needed it: "This fairy armor is made entirely of the skin of a heavenly-grade void beast, and its defense is higher than that of a mid-grade fairy armor of the same level."
Chi Changye took it and examined it carefully. The quality of this fairy armor was indeed much better than the ones they bought before. The one on Gu Yao was still the top-level earth-grade fairy armor. Although his body was much stronger now because of the Fire God Body Training Method, multiple layers of fairy armor could also provide multiple layers of protection. "Okay, how many do you have? Do you have four?"
"Yes, we do!" The shopkeeper was very happy. He finally made a deal. He immediately took out the other three pieces of immortal armor
.
Chi Changye gave the one in his hand to Gu Yao, and asked Xu Chen and Xu Chuan to pick one each. Xu Chuan was touched, but he didn't refuse, otherwise he would be a drag.
The shopkeeper originally thought that he could only sell one or two pieces, but he didn't expect that four pieces would be a big business for a small caravan like theirs.
In this way, the corpses of the void beasts were not enough to pay for the immortal stones for the immortal armor, so Gu Yao and Xu Chen took out some elixirs they carried with them, and finally collected a sum of medium-grade immortal stones. Both parties were very satisfied with the result.
Especially the shopkeeper. Although Xu Chen did not say anything, he suspected that this man was also an elixir master. However, he felt that he was simply crazy to have such an idea. One elixir master came to the battlefield, and two elixir masters ran in together?
Either he was crazy or the two elixir masters were crazy.
After Gu Yao and his friends left the shop, the shopkeeper quickly put up a sign, saying that there were elixirs for sale. The monks who got the news in the settlement quickly ran over and bought them all in a short while. Then
, the news that Gu Chi's team of four had an elixir master also spread.
