The Strongest Knight

Chapter 213 Alchemy

After passing the downtown area of ​​Ruoshui Town, Zhao Qinghe turned into a dead end.

This is one of the entrances to Ruoshuifang.

Zhao Qinghe continued to move forward. With the help of his spiritual vision, he could clearly see that the road ahead was not a dead end, but dozens of high walls.

These dozens of walls are crisscrossed, and ordinary people without psychic vision will definitely not be able to enter them.

Zhao Qinghe turned several corners and finally crossed the last wall, as if he had crossed a thin film. An inspiration that was much richer than that from the outside world came towards him. This was him entering inside.

There are high walls on three sides, except for a city wall not far in front.

As Zhao Qinghe stepped forward, a young monk guarding the gate immediately stepped forward and said, "The entrance fee is one spirit stone."

Zhao Qinghe nodded and took out a spirit stone from his sleeve.

In Liuhua Sect, Zhao Qinghe accumulated a lot of spirit stones, which were enough for the time being.

The young Taoist gatekeeper immediately took out a token and handed it to Zhao Qinghe: "Remember to hang it around your waist. You need to return it when you leave the city."

Zhao Qinghe picked up the token and took a look at it. He saw that there were indeed faint magic patterns engraved on it. Of course, this pattern did not contain any Taoist magic, it was only used to verify authenticity.

After hanging up the token, Zhao Qinghe stepped over the Taoist gatekeeper, walked into the passage, and entered Ruoshuifang.

"It has a strong commercial atmosphere." Zhao Qinghe sighed as he looked at the vendors on both sides.

Almost right next to the city wall, vendors started setting up stalls, and each of these vendors were cultivators with great cultivation, not ordinary people. The scene was spectacular.

Zhao Qinghe walked calmly along the middle of the road, glancing at the stalls on both sides from time to time.

The stalls basically have things for the Yuan Jing period. Some stalls have quite rich stocks, while some simply put one or two things in front of them to make up the number.

Anyway, most of them come here just to practice and replenish their magic power, and setting up a stall to sell the things they don't need is also a side job.

Once you leave Ruoshui Market, your magic power will slowly dissipate if your spiritual energy is weak and not replenished by the outside world.

In Ruoshui Market, you can keep your magic power full and even start practicing.

Many independent cultivators, after paying a spirit stone as an entrance fee, would stay in Ruoshuifang and not leave, and quite a few of them even reproduced and lived here.

The small Ruoshuifang has a population of over 300,000, and the areas behind the four main streets are all residential houses.

When he walked to the middle, the items in the stall became more abundant, and Zhao Qinghe saw magical instruments, elixirs and other scarce resources for independent cultivators.

The divine consciousness was born in the Three Flower Realm, and Zhao Qinghe could choose the magic tools to practice, but he was short of money, so he could only take a look and leave.

Walking to the center of the market, Zhao Qinghe saw terraced shops with more abundant supplies, and behind the shops was a small hill that resembled a pyramid.

With the naked eye, you can see the densely packed caves on the hill that can accommodate one person. These are the caves for cultivation in Ruoshui Market, which require spirit stones to use.

"Whether it's buying magic tools, practicing in seclusion in a cultivation cave, or buying materials to make pills, I need spirit stones. It seems that my top priority is to find an opportunity to earn some spirit stones first."

Zhao Qinghe still focuses on cultivation in Liuhua Sect. He only has about a dozen spirit stones left. If he uses the spirit stones to cultivate, he won't be able to persist for long.

There are still five years until the Qiankun Sect's recruitment conference. It is impossible for Zhao Qinghe to stand still in these five years. Therefore, earning spirit stones while practicing is the next essential operation.

In fact, many of the independent cultivators gathered in Ruoshuifang now are just like Zhao Qinghe, trying to join the Qiankun Sect by participating in the Qiankun Sect's recruitment conference.

The paradise environment that disciples of major sects are accustomed to is a place of abundant spiritual energy that independent cultivators dream of entering.

Not to mention the other benefits for disciples of major sects.

Zhao Qinghe was not worried at all about whether he could earn spirit stones.

His alchemy skills were almost put into practice only a few times.

"I just happened to have some materials for refining the Yellow Dragon Pill with me, so I'll try refining it and max out my spiritual essence technique."

Zhao Qinghe observed for a moment, then turned and walked into an alchemy shop in the middle row of shops.

"Fellow Taoist, are you buying pills or selling pills and prescriptions?" There was a young female Taoist in the shop, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old. She still had a childish look on her face, but she pretended to be mature.

Zhao Qinghe sensed it briefly and felt that her cultivation level was probably at the second level of Yuan Jing.

"Haha, little sister, I want to rent the alchemy furnace." Zhao Qinghe said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, please respect yourself. Who is the little sister?" The young female Taoist frowned and recalled Zhao Qinghe's words. She looked at Zhao Qinghe with a little suspicion: "You want to rent the alchemy furnace?"

She still looked like a thin-skinned girl. Zhao Qinghe smiled slightly and stopped joking: "Yes, fellow Taoist, I saw the rental notice on the notice outside your door."

"Our store can indeed rent alchemy furnaces." Seeing that Zhao Qinghe was serious, the female Taoist also became serious.

"But fellow Taoist, I wonder if you have read the rental rules clearly?" the little girl said again.

"Of course I know. You are not allowed to damage the alchemy furnace. If you damage it, you must compensate for it according to the price. The rental is calculated by time. Different grades of alchemy furnaces have different prices. An ordinary alchemy furnace can be used for ten days with one spirit stone. Our store is not responsible for the results of alchemy." Zhao Qinghe repeated.

"That's good." The little girl nodded. "Then have you decided what grade of furnace to rent? Our store has one mid-grade furnace, three low-grade furnaces, and nine ordinary furnaces."

Zhao Qinghe threw out a spirit stone: "A normal one will do."

"Okay, shall we start using it now?" The little girl nodded, thinking that this must be another casual cultivator who dreams of becoming an alchemist and is practicing with an ordinary alchemy furnace. Most alchemists would at least use a low-grade furnace when refining pills.

After all, alchemy materials are expensive, and a failure in refining will result in a huge loss. Low-grade alchemy furnaces have a bonus effect, and alchemists who have the conditions will choose the best alchemy furnace to make alchemy.

"Let's start now." Zhao Qinghe nodded. Time is one of the resources that cannot be wasted.

The Taoist priest shook the bell in her hand, and a plump and pretty maid came out.

"Take this guest to room number 8," the Taoist priest said.

The maid bowed to Zhao Qinghe and took him to the back of the shop.

Passing through an open courtyard, the maid led Zhao Qinghe to a downward entrance.

Going down from the entrance, a hot breath came out.

After a while, an underground square appeared in Zhao Qinghe's eyes, and a hot breath hit his face.

There were several rooms in the square, and the maid took Zhao Qinghe to Room No. 8 at the T-shaped corner.

After letting the sweaty maid leave, Zhao Qinghe opened the door and looked inside. He saw that the 20-square-meter room was fully equipped with an alchemy furnace, a cushion, and a desk.
