After a while, seven or eight strong men ran out of the rain and entered their field of vision.
"Huh? It turns out that there are people in this cave for a long time. Brother, can we hide in the rain for a while and leave when the rain stops?" The big man walking in front asked.
Xu Chen made a gesture to invite them in: "You can do whatever you want. We are also here to hide from the rain. The cave is not ours." "Thank you, brother." He called to the back again, and then seven or eight strong men almost filled the cave, and the space immediately became a lot more oppressive.
Next, Gu Yao and Chi Changye began to appreciate how Xu Chen and Le Xu got each other's details. The two of them had a tacit understanding, as if they had done it countless times before, and it didn't take long for them to dig out each other's secrets.
It turned out that they were villagers from a nearby village who came out to hunt. When they saw the three wild beasts in the cave, they were full of admiration for Gu Yao and his friends, and their eyes were filled with respect.
The rain did not last long. When it stopped, the big men left first. Gu Yao and his three companions did not rush to leave. After they disappeared, they discussed the information they had obtained.
Xu Chen stroked his chin and said, "So this place is called Tianyuan Continent. They mistook us for martial artists, so they treated us with special respect. It seems that there is another cultivation system here, and the way to absorb energy may be mainly through these beasts."
Before, they cut off a beast's hind leg and gave it to a few big men. Their expressions of gratitude were not fake, which showed that the beast was not so easy to kill.
Lexu nodded and said, "There are a group of respected martial artists here. The currency they use is Yuan coins. If we want to enter the town, we can't go empty-handed. But killing a few more beasts should solve the problem."
"Let's go, we should be able to learn more information after entering the town. What we just learned is still limited." Gu Yao said.
The four of them also left the cave, but they were heading in a different direction from the big men who had left before. They were going to a town called "Luhe" by the big men. It was named after the Luhe River that passed by, so the location was easy to find. As long as they followed the largest river here, they would reach the largest market town, Luhe Town.
Along the way, in addition to killing two more beasts, they also collected some wild fruits and some plants discovered by Xu Chen and Gu Yao. These plants contained energy similar to that they absorbed from beast meat, which could be distinguished from other ordinary plants. They saw that the big men had also collected some of them, and called them Yuanzhi.
After walking for most of the day, when it was almost dark, they finally arrived at Luhe Town. It was very different from the cities in the spirit world and the fairy world. The walls around this town looked very rough, made of large stones, and there were traces of battles outside the walls, which looked simple and old, with a primitive flavor.
They deliberately dressed themselves in rough clothes on the way here, and of course the faces of the four people still attracted attention. When they entered the town, they didn't have any yuan coins, but they used two so-called yuan plants instead. The two guards didn't seem to dare to embarrass them.
After entering the town and asking around, they found a place to buy wild animals and Yuanzhi. They exchanged the things in their hands for nearly a thousand Yuan coins. At least they were not penniless. This amount of Yuan coins was enough for them to find an inn to stay in.
There were many people in the town. Although they did not have divine consciousness, they had seen a lot and could judge the difference between the so-called martial artists and ordinary people. They could find that there was another energy in the martial artists' bodies. This energy should be the same as what they absorbed from wild animal meat. Through this energy, the martial artists opened up the meridians and acupoints in the body to practice.
The number of meridians opened and the number of acupoints storing energy are related to the level of martial artists' cultivation.
In a short time, the four of them had a rough idea of the so-called martial artists. However, it was obvious that the martial artists in this town were not that powerful, but the ordinary people were much stronger than the ordinary people they knew in the mortal world before.
When it was time for dinner, they left the room and came to the lobby. There were many people in the lobby. They could only find a table in the corner. Someone was already sitting at this table. Xu Chen politely asked if he could share the table. The other party looked up and glanced at them indifferently, nodded slightly and ignored them. Xu Chen quickly invited the few people to sit down.
There was a rumbling sound in the lobby. When the food was served, Gu Yao could also hear what they were talking about.
"Is the Yuan Dan Master from Guangwu City really going to come to our Luhe Town this time to help our children in Luhe Town open their skills?"
"Is this true? Didn't you see how many people from outside rushed to the town? You will see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, many adults will bring their children here just to let the Yuan Dan Master take a look. If the Yuan Dan Master is willing to help, the chance of successfully opening the skills and becoming a martial artist will be much greater. Once you become a martial artist, you know, your status will be greatly different."
"Yeah, it's a pity that we didn't have a Yuan Dan Master to help us at that time, otherwise maybe we could have become martial artists, haha.
"
"Forget it, how can ordinary people afford a martial artist? Martial artists are all made with Yuan coins, so we should wait for
the next generation "If a child is reborn into a rich and powerful family, he might be born with enlightenment."
Several people listened with great interest. Yuandan Master uses Yuanzhi to refine elixirs, which is not much different from the world of cultivation. However, Yuandan Master can help people to become martial artists. It sounds new, but it is understandable. It is to use external forces to help people open up meridians and acupoints.
But at this moment, their classmate suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood with a "puff". The blood was black, and it was obvious that he was poisoned. After spitting out blood, he closed his eyes and passed out.
The four people were a little dumbfounded. What kind of luck did they have? They ran into such troubles just for a meal?
However, none of the four of them wanted to get into trouble and left the man alone. After all, they came here to cause trouble. How could they understand the inside story of this world and the relationship between this world and the fairy world without causing trouble?
They waved to the waiter and asked if the guy was a guest in the inn and where his room was.
The waiter was also startled and wanted to ask someone to throw the unconscious guy out to avoid any trouble in the inn. However, Xu Chen used a few yuan to make him shut up and took the initiative to help carry the man to the man's room.
After entering the room, Gu Yao wanted to take a closer look at the man's body, but he immediately retracted his outstretched hand and stood by the bed and said: "Since this brother is awake, there is no need for us to check. I think there should be no major problems."
Chi Changye and Lexu were sitting at the table in the room, pouring tea for themselves, while Gu Yao and Xu Chen stood by the bed with interest and looked at the man with inquiring eyes.
The man's eyelids trembled, and finally opened, his eyes were calm and he looked back indifferently.
"Thank you for sending me back."
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows: "That's it? Forget the verbal thanks."
The man's eyebrows jumped, as if he had not expected these people's reactions, as if he had deliberately accepted this thanks: "Then what are you going to do?"
Xu Chen said casually: "What's your name? Are you poisoned? What kind of poison is it? How do I get rid of it?"
The man's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't keep a calm expression. What stranger would come up to him and ask questions? It was clear that there was something wrong with these people, but the other party looked frank.
"My name is Mu You. Unless a ground-level Yuan Dan master takes action personally, there is no antidote for the poison in your body. So you'd better stay away from me, so as not to be implicated by me and regarded as an accomplice by my enemies."
Xu Chen touched his chin, not afraid at all: "Ground-level Yuan Dan master? How are Yuan Dan masters and martial artists divided into different levels?" Mu You's eyes flashed with a strange color. These people don't even know this most basic common sense? Could it be that they are...
Mu You's eyes suddenly showed some more patience, and he explained to them: "In the world, no matter it is a martial artist or a Yuandan master, they are divided into these four levels. Of course, below the yellow-level martial artist and the Yuandan master, there are martial arts apprentices and alchemy apprentices. In Luhe Town, a yellow-level martial artist is considered to have a very high status."
Xu Chen asked curiously: "What level of martial artist were you before you were poisoned?"
Mu You replied: "Earth-level martial artist."
Xu Chen looked at him for a few times. He didn't look like a very strong person. He sighed and said: "You should not be very old. You can become a ground-level martial artist at this age. I think your status and position are not low. How could you end up like this? It's too miserable." Mu You frowned. Whether he is miserable or not, does it need others to say? Anyone with eyes knows it.
He said unhappily: "The past is like a cloud of smoke. I, Mu You, am now a drowned dog and can only be bullied by others. So the four of you should stay away from me."
"Is there no one who helps you? That shows you are such a failure as a person."
These words touched Mu You's sore spot again and made his face even darker. Gu Yao held back his laughter and quickly pulled Xu Chen away, worried that if he continued, Mu You would vomit blood again.
After handing Xu Chen over to Xu, he returned to the bedside. Although Mu You's face was extremely dark, he was not very angry with Xu Chen. He was not narrow-minded. So he said directly: "Let's make a deal. We will help you as much as possible. After your problem is solved, I hope you can provide us with some help."
Mu You opened his mouth, and his eyes became extremely complicated. After a while, he said: "What if I can't help you? Will you regret helping me?"
Gu Yao said: "Let's talk about it later. If you can't help me due to your limited ability, it's our own vision that's wrong. It's not
your "Head."
Mu You was a little confused before he said one word: "Okay."
This was the most confusing deal Mu You had ever made with anyone in his life. It seemed that his magical journey had begun when these four people started eating at the same table with him.
Then Gu Yao said: "Do you mind if I let you bleed a little so I can study the poison in your body?"
Mu You nodded blankly.
