Chapter 155 The Crazy Taoist in Sao Feng City
This is the so-called main city.
Looking at the towering city wall in front of us, the majestic momentum is projected from every detail of the building. The fully armed soldiers on the city wall are waiting in full formation. Looking at it makes you feel full of security.
The huge city gate made the two people in front of it look particularly small.
"Come on, Chengxian, let's go to the city."
The two entered the gate on horseback.
Walking along the broad main street towards the city, Xiao Jie was a little surprised to find that there were not as many players on the streets of Sao Feng City as he had imagined. Most of the people coming and going were NPCs, until the two of them approached. When entering the commercial area in the center of the city, the number of players increased.
This street was obviously built in the style of Tang Dynasty Fangshi. There are shops on both sides of the street. There is also a quite open square where the two vertical and horizontal streets intersect.
As usual, the square is a trading area for players. It is crowded with players setting up stalls. There are several times more players than in Luoyang Town. The average level is also much higher. Most of them are in their twenties, and there are also players who are level 30. Found everywhere.
These stall vendors are all covered with huge banners, with the names and introductions of the items for sale written on them. Looking at it, you can see a row of blue, green and green colors, with a few wisps of purple.
The two of them looked like country bumpkins who had entered the city, and everything seemed new to them.
Especially those epic items.
Damn, there are so many good things!
The Secret Book of Internal Strength - Pure Yang Kung! At first glance, it looks like high-level internal strength.
Dragon-slaying knife! I guess, it’s an epic weapon worth 50 cuts.
The most powerful thunder talisman in the sky! Causes 450 points of thunder attribute damage! Added affixes of serious injury, paralysis, evil destruction, and diffusion... I guess, this is awesome.
Of course, although the products are good, the prices are also more expensive than the previous ones.
Xiao Jie took a few casual glances and was very sure that he couldn't afford any of them.
I looked at the dozen or so taels of silver in my bag and saw that there was a huge difference.
Of course, there are also cheaper blue-green equipment and props, but they are also blue-green items, and there is a huge difference in level and quality.
Almost all the top-quality blue and green equipment sold here were not much cheaper. Xiao Jie gave up after looking at them for a while.
Then he began to inquire about information. Although the location of Xuanxu Palace was on the map, it was still necessary to inquire whether there were any dangers on the specific road.
This time Xiao Jie didn't spend any money, and he couldn't spend hundreds of dollars in intelligence fees.
Fortunately, the players in this game are generally friendly. After asking a few questions, I got the information I needed.
"Brother, is Xuanxu Palace far from here?"
"It's not far. Just go out of the north gate and walk up the mountain. You also go to Xuanxu Palace to seek Taoism?" "Yes, why, there are so many people seeking Taoism?" "
"Hahahaha, how can you call a lot of people? There are quite a lot of them. But not many can succeed, and a tiger BOSS has recently appeared on the mountain. The road up the mountain is a lot more dangerous. It's best for you to go Be careful."
Xiao Jie was a little surprised: "Tiger BOSS? No one is going to fight him so close?"
"It's strange to say that I really didn't go to fight, but there are expert players who will lead people up the mountain for one or two silver coins at a time. If you are afraid of death, you can find someone to take them."
Xiao Jie thanked him and turned around to discuss the matter with me.
"In this case, let's rest in the city first and then set off to the mountains tomorrow afternoon."
I wanted to become a fairy and was a little strange, "Why do you have to go up the mountain in the afternoon, not in the morning?"
Xiao Jie whispered: "What if we go there in the morning and they don't accept us after handing in the magic talisman and just kick us out? Then there will be no chance.
But if we go in the afternoon, it will probably be dark soon after we hand over the magic talisman. Even if Xuanxu Palace doesn't accept us by then, we can still put in some good words and stay for the night, which will also give us a little more room to operate. "
"Brother Feng, how do you know they will keep us?"
"I don't know, but it makes sense logically. I have to give it a try anyway."
"Okay, then I'll get to work first."
The two of them went their separate ways. Xiao Jie went straight to the auction house to collect the money for today's dog food.
Today's business was not very good during the day. I only sold six of them, earning 1,200 yuan. After deducting costs, I still haven't made a single tael of silver.
Plus the 16 taels of silver in the bag, the total is a little over seventeen taels. This is the most stable way to make money now, but it's still a bit slow.
Xiao Jie looked at the secret dog food hanging in the auction house. There were more than a dozen of them, so there was no need to make them for the time being.
He checked the prices of other cooking products. Nothing else had changed much. Only the price of Monkey Wine had increased again. It was now 1,200 yuan per bottle, and there were only five bottles left in the auction house. , it seems that one bottle is used less than one bottle.
Xiao Jie's heart felt hot. Is it so valuable? The recipe for this monkey wine must be obtained as soon as possible.
The sooner you get it, the sooner you make money.
After leaving the auction house, Xiao Jie immediately began to purchase the supplies that the unknown white ape needed. There were no clear quality requirements for the things the white ape wanted. To be on the safe side, Xiao Jie bought them all, three sets of clothes, and three high-quality items. Cotton robe.
For tables, chairs and benches, I bought a complete set of Huanghuali tables and chairs from a carpentry workshop at a high price.
Then I went to buy the best tea, Maojian, Dahongpao, Biluochun, Zhuyeqing... I got a pack of each kind sold in the tea shop.
I also bought a set of purple sand teapots and cups.
I have steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, etc. in my bag.
After all, it took more than 9,000 articles for such a short period of time.
Considering that most of these things are whiteboards without any properties, the price is simply outrageous.
It doesn't matter, as long as you learn monkey wine, making money will be fun.
Xiao Jie comforted himself.
After thinking about it, I realized that this white ape has a really weird temperament and seems to like human things very much, so I might as well add more fuel to your fire.
Xiao Jie was walking around the city, and when he saw something that the white ape was interested in, he bought it. After a while, he threw out another five taels of silver.
While he was strolling around, a hoarse voice not far away suddenly caught his attention.
"Heroes and heroes who are passing by, please stay and listen to me. You have all been deceived. This world is over. Sooner or later, demons and ghosts will eat you all. Come and learn the magic of immortality from me. This is the only way. Only then can you transcend the Great Dao and leave this filthy world. This returnee, if you want to learn the magic of immortality, I will teach you!"
Hey, isn't that that fool?
That's right, that's him. He has a goatee, a tattered Taoist robe, and disheveled hair. At first glance, he looks a bit like a mysterious master, but at a closer look, he looks a bit like a charlatan.
But the name of the Taoist in front of me is different.
Crazy Taoist: Level 10 civilian, 250 HP.
It seems that he is not alone? But there must be some connection between the two. His tone of voice was not as silly as that of the foolish Taoist, but it still didn't sound normal.
At this time, the crazy Taoist was grabbing a player and promoting his magic.
The player used Qinggong to distance himself and walked away as if running away.
The crazy Taoist was not persistent and immediately ran towards another player.
Xiao Jie found an old woman selling vegetables and spent 100 Wen to buy a few radishes, a few cucumbers, and a bunch of leeks.
By the way, I asked: "Old lady, what's going on with that crazy Taoist?"
The old woman grinned, showing her few remaining teeth, "What else could it be? You said he was a crazy Taoist. Of course he is a madman. He kept asking for money. He said he was teaching immortal magic for ten taels of silver. You didn't have to think about it to know that he was. It’s a lie. How can the immortal magic be so cheap? It only costs thirty or fifty taels, right?
Those returnees are not very bright, and they really believe it. None of them can learn it after paying the money. , Haha, what a bunch of fools - oh boy, I'm not talking about you, you look very exciting."
Xiao Jie was surprised when he heard that, ten taels of silver to teach immortality? Why is this section so familiar?
He couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he walked over and asked: "This Taoist priest, can you really teach me how to cultivate immortality?"
The crazy Taoist turned his head immediately after hearing this, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Jie.
"Yes, I think you are very talented, and you are a good candidate for cultivating immortality."
The player who was caught before saw someone jacking up the tank and ran away in a hurry.
The mad Taoist didn't care and continued to sell Xiao Jie: "But you can't teach this immortal method in vain. I have a secret book of immortal magic here. After learning it, you can achieve the supreme way. I think I am destined to you, so I will accept you." I’ll sell it to you for ten taels of silver.”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden slip from his arms and showed it to Xiao Jie mysteriously.
The wooden slip was blank, with only a few words written crookedly on the outermost one: "The secret of immortality"
System prompt: When the mission [Crazy Taoist in the City] is triggered, you meet a crazy Taoist who teaches you immortal magic. You only need to pay ten taels of silver to learn it. .
Mission goal: Pay ten taels of silver to the crazy Taoist.
Mission reward: [Secret Immortal Magic] × 1.
Damn it, why are you so perfunctory? Even the words are wrong.
Xiao Jie was originally a little hesitant to take the gamble, but now he directly rejected the idea.
Since many people have been deceived, it is naturally impossible for him to be deceived again, and besides, he has no money now.
But Xiao Jie is still a little curious, why does this crazy Taoist look exactly like the foolish Taoist?
However, this issue is not important at the moment. It is better to hurry up and get monkey wine.
Xiao Jie said casually: "Ten taels of silver is too expensive, ten cents is not enough."
The crazy Taoist was immediately furious: "You are such an ignorant person. How can you sell such a magical magic for ten cents? Go ahead and get out if you don't buy it."
Xiao Jie wasn't angry either. He looked at what he had bought in his bag and turned around to walk out of the city.
After leaving the city, Xiao Jie immediately sped up and galloped towards the Monkey Valley.
Without the drag of "I Want to Become an Immortal", the speed of the war horse was directly at full speed, and it was like lightning all the way. After more than half an hour, Xiao Jie ran to Hou'er Mountain.
Ignoring the woodcutter's greeting at the entrance to the valley, he dismounted and walked straight into the valley.
The white ape was surprised when he saw Xiao Jie coming back, "Hey, you're back so soon?"
"Senior Yuan wants something, how can this junior neglect it."
"Senior Ape? Hey, you kid is really good at talking. Yes, I have lived for such a long time and deserve to be called senior. I have decided that I will be Senior Ape from now on."
The name on the white ape's head suddenly changed.
Senior Yuan (the owner of Monkey Valley).
Hey, can this thing be renamed by itself? This is pretty awesome.
Xiao Jie didn't think much, and quickly handed over the task and presented the purchased items one by one, introducing them one by one and bragging about the things he bought.
The white ape looked at the things Xiao Jie bought and danced with joy, "Okay, okay, you did a good job." After saying that, he pulled off a piece of clothing and put it on, but he was too short, and the hem of the robe was hanging on his body. On the ground, the white ape didn't care, and looked at the reflection in the pool happily.
Then they set up tables, chairs and benches on the stone platform, brewed a pot of cold tea in a purple clay pot, and pretended to taste it.
"Okay, okay, is this called tea?" He picked up the steamed buns and sesame seed cakes and ate them randomly, choking and rolling his eyes.
After struggling for a while, the white ape finally calmed down, but for some reason there was an expression of uninterestedness on his face.
System prompt: After completing the task [White Ape's Goodness], Senior Ape's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points, and is now 45 (general).
"You did a good job, old monkey, tell him your wine recipe."
Not far away, there was an old monkey leaning over.
"The old monkey must obey the king's orders."
"Don't call me King. I'm hanging around with you hozens all day long. It's an insult to my identity."
"Okay, okay, your Majesty is right, just stop barking from now on." The old monkey chuckled, "Listen up, human, this monkey wine is very complicated to brew. I'll only say it once, if you can't learn how to Don’t blame me, this monkey wine has to be brewed like this..."
[System prompt: The old monkey winemaker teaches you the recipe [Monkey Wine]. If the conditions are met, you have successfully learned the recipe.
Xiao Jie was immediately overjoyed. He finally got the treasure with the money.
Immediately click on the recipe list of the cooking skill to view it.
[Monkey Wine (recipe)
Learning requirements: Proficient in cooking.
Production requirements: Snake Berry × 5, Mountain Red × 5, Wild Grape × 5, Wild Hawthorn × 5, Clay Pot × 1, Mountain Spring Water × 1, Lingxiang Grass × 1.
Item introduction: The wine brewed by monkeys using wild fruits in the mountains contains the original flavor of wine. It is said that the first wine that appeared in the world was monkey wine. In ancient times, humans accidentally drank this wine and fell into deep intoxication. Forgot the pain of living.
Therefore, people believe that monkey wine has the unique power to make people happy. 】
This recipe requires quite a lot of materials.
Fortunately, they are all very common wild fruits, and we often saw them in the wild when we were in Novice Village.
It's a pity that Xiao Jie didn't learn the gathering skills, so he never did it.
I have picked some if I want to become an immortal, and eating them can usually restore one or two points of satiety, which is worse than nothing and not as hungry as a steamed bun.
I just don’t know if anyone will put these things in the auction house. If someone sells them, it will be much more convenient. They can just buy them and use them as antiques.
