Chapter 672: The Boulder City
On the edge of the snow-capped mountain, the giant rock city.
This is the only city in a radius of thousands of miles. The warriors coming and going have to burst out the waters of the place, and the business of various trading venues and shops is also extremely popular.
Because there is not only one sect near the Snow Mountain, but two or three other forces have also taken root here. As the transit station for these forces, Jushi City naturally serves as a hub for exchanging materials between warriors of various forces.
The practice of warriors is not just about working behind closed doors, but often uses external objects.
Elixirs and secret treasures are all external objects, and these are also indispensable helps for warriors in battle. If you replace what you don’t need with what you need, transactions will naturally come into being.
After parting with Ji Meng and Zhu Yingyue, Yang Kai walked for four days before he arrived at the Giant Rock City.
Seeing the crowd of people shoulder to shoulder, Yang Kai smiled happily. During this period, he was so lonely.
He didn't want to talk to someone, but in the vast snow-capped mountains, where no one was inhabited by the world without a single life, he felt a little depressed.
At the gate of the city, several warriors were wearing guard costumes and checking passers-by. When it was Yang Kai's turn, Yang Kai learned the methods of the people who had entered before and quietly stuffed a crystal stone to the guard.
The guard put away the crystal without any trace, turned his eyes to Yang Kai, and opened his body sideways.
"Thank you!" Yang Kai smiled and walked into the giant rock city.
In the Giant Rock City, there are not only warriors from a few nearby forces, but also warriors who appear here come from all over the world. Because here, Piling Snow Mountain is produced, some spiritual herbs that will only be produced under extreme cold conditions. Many warriors have demand for this.
Everyone in the Stone City is willing to refuse, but if you don’t want to accept the investigation, you must hand over the crystal. This is also the way to make money in the Stone City.
The shops in the city are even more of the money trees in the Giant Rock City.
Most of the owners of these shops in Jushi City are disciples of several nearby forces, and few outsiders can interfere in the business here.
Yang Kai was brisk in his steps and stopped in these shops, buying the medicinal materials he needed.
Although he left most of his crystals to the ancient demon clan before leaving Xiaoxuan Realm, he still had a lot of them left, and these number of crystals were still very wealthy for a person.
Yang Kai was also paying attention to collecting the materials needed to refine the holy-level elixir.
Before leaving, Lirong had told him all this information, but what Yang Kai did not expect was that it was actually a holy-level top-grade pill.
Now I can barely refine spiritual-level top-grade pills, and there is still a big gap between them from the holy-level top-grade pills.
Along the way, he swept through dozens of shops. Yang Kai gained a lot, and various medicinal materials were piled up in the black book space.
When he came to a large shop, Yang Kai spent a lot of crystals and exchanged for many materials he needed.
"Young man seems to be very dignified. Is he buying so many medicinal materials to make his own alchemy?" The shop owner with the eighth level of Shenyou looked at Yang Kai with interest. His gray hair looked a little kind, and he asked while touching his beard.
"Is the shopkeeper doing business or inquire about the news?" Yang Kai stared at him and asked with a smile on his face.
The other party suddenly said this, which made him a little alert. However, in this huge rock city, public security is pretty good and there will be no battle for no reason. Even if there is friction between warriors, they will go outside the city to resolve the dispute.
So, he was not afraid at all.
"Just ask casually. If the guy doesn't want to answer, he doesn't need to answer." The shop owner was stunned, as if he noticed Yang Kai's vigilance and did not want him to misunderstand, "But if the guy is an alchemist, buying medicinal materials can be discounted."
"Discount? Why can it be discounted?" Yang Kai said strangely when he heard this.
He had never heard of any shop that would give alchemists discounts.
Before the owner could answer, a warrior next to him was looking for medicinal materials and laughed: "Because this is a store opened by the Alchemist Association. As long as you are an alchemist, you can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment. Don't you know?"
While talking, he walked over, handed the selected medicinal materials to the shop owner, and handed a jade plaque on it.
Yang Kai could see clearly that the jade plaque had a elixir engraved on it.
The owner took a look at the medicinal materials, calculated the price, picked up the jade plaque and poured it into it. The jade plaque flashed instantly. The owner nodded slightly: "According to the rules of the association, you can give you a 20% discount."
The man quickly presented the crystal stones, the shop owner collected them, and the goods were all paid.
After buying the medicinal herbs, the man left without looking back.
Yang Kai was stunned.
"The Alchemist Association is a force established by the alchemists in the world. Only alchemists are qualified to enter. As long as they are alchemists from the association, they will be treated preferentially when buying things in the association's shops. Moreover, the association's shops are all over the world's major cities, and you can enjoy the care of the association in any place." The owner explained with a smile.
"How did the shopkeeper know that I am an alchemist?" Yang Kai asked in confusion. The other party had obviously confirmed that he could refine alchemy, and it would be useless to pretend to be confused.
He was very curious, where did this old shop owner who only had the eighth floor of Shenyou Realm get this vision?
"The alchemy people are different from ordinary warriors. I have been guarding the store for decades. Many of them come and go, and they are alchemists. I can see through whether they are in this industry at a glance." The owner shook his head slowly, looking a little unfathomable. "Although the young man is young, from the level of the medicinal materials you choose, at least he should be a lower-level alchemist at the mysterious level, right?"
Yang Kai was indifferent and did not deny it.
The old shop owner lit up: "Young people are so terrifying. I have been studying alchemy for many years and are still just a top-level alchemist at the mysterious level. I really envy you."
Alchemy is also a matter of qualifications.
"There is an association branch in Jushi City. If you want to buy medicinal materials in the future and enjoy discounts, you might as well go there to get a jade plaque. It will not only save you crystal stones, but also be very convenient to walk around the world in the future. Alchemists will be valued everywhere, and basically no one will cause trouble for you." The old shop owner said with a smile.
"Thank you for your advice." Yang Kai clasped his fists.
"You're welcome."
Walking out of this shop, Yang Kai fell into deep thought.
It is undeniable that the old shop owner's words moved him. It was only one reason that he could discount the medicinal materials. Although he had a lot of crystals in his hands, he would have to spend a day in vain. He could save a little bit.
What he cares most is that the alchemist can be valued and is a target that any force will rob.
His only wish to come to Tongxuan Continent was to find Su Yan and his junior sister.
But the world is vast, and it is impossible to investigate with his own strength.
Unlike in Zhongdu, the subordinates gathered a large number of available helpers. If you want to find someone and do whatever you want, you will be able to do it immediately.
Here, everything depends on yourself.
When Shui Ling and Yunxuan invited him to join the Water Temple or Duao League, Yang Kai still knew how to refine elixirs, and he also politely declined their kindness.
Because Yang Kai wanted to rely on his own strength to find Su Yan and the others.
But now it seems that this idea is a bit unrealistic.
Can we use our identity as an alchemist to defect to a certain force and let these forces help us find it?
In an inn, Yang Kai thought for a long time and decided to go to the Alchemist Association to get a jade token. This jade token alone can help him avoid a lot of trouble, which is worth Yang Kai's efforts.
After checking in the next direction in the Giant Rock City, Yang Kai quickly found the location of the Alchemist Association.
In front of the magnificent alchemist association, Yang Kai stopped for a long time and shook his head.
Although I had long heard that alchemists were all rich guys, Yang Kai did not expect that they were so rich.
The entire Alchemist Association, from the outside alone, is very different from other buildings in the Stone City, with a sense of prosperity inside and outside.
Outside the palace, birds and beasts carved from rare ores came from hidden energy fluctuations, which were obviously all powerful formations carved in seal script.
If someone dares to make the idea of this building, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
Looking around, the association is covered with thick red carpets, dotted with crystal-like gemstone decorations.
The alchemists who occasionally enter and exit them are arrogant and indifferent, and look like they are very amazing.
The top-notch alchemist can be rich and has a respectable status. This is not a legend, but it is true.
In Zhongdu, alchemists and weapon refiners are relatively noble existences, and in Tongxuan Continent, this inexplicable nobility seems to have been magnified several times.
"Boy, what are you watching here in a sneaky way?" An angry shout suddenly came, and a bearded man glared at Yang Kai and shouted, "Which force are you from? Do you know where this place is?"
"Hello." Yang Kai's expression remained unchanged and nodded slightly at him: "I want to get a jade tablet for the alchemist."
"Receive the jade plaque... Are you an alchemist?" The man was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and down at Yang Kai. A spiritual sense suddenly came over and nodded slightly after a while. "Well, it's true, the body is full of yang attributes. He can refine alchemy. He is too young and has just started studying, right?"
"Haha, I've learned it for a while." Yang Kai smiled and nodded.
"Well, come in." The big man tilted his head and signaled, walked inward, and Yang Kai hurriedly followed.
As he walked along, Yang Kai was amazed. From the outside, the Alchemist Association was amazing. Only after entering it did he realize that it was so rich here.
After learning that Yang Kai was also an alchemist, the man slightly restrained his contempt for him, but he couldn't be said to be very easy-going. He shouted all the way: "Since you want to be a member of the Alchemist Association, as long as you pass our test, you can get the jade tag you want. But you have to remember that even if you become a formal alchemist, you cannot do anything that harms humans. If you dare to refine alchemist for the demon race, don't blame the association for cleaning up the portal."
"Ahem, this is natural." Yang Kai said quickly.rs
