C169 Northern Rock Country
Gu Ling'er nodded, without saying a word, she accepted Jiang Fann's pill and found a flat place to sit down.
Jiang Fann sat as a protector. He understood Gu Ling'er's condition very well, he had prepared all the medicinal pellets beforehand.
She did not have a Chapter of Pill Dao, so she was not able to reach Jiang Fann's level of vitality.
The pills Jiang Fann prepared for her were all specially made for her, to the point that it seemed to have no side effects. Even if there was a little hidden danger, when Jiang Fann's realm rose again, it would make up for it the day after tomorrow.
It was not just Gu Ling'er, sshe was also preparing Chu Zhan's pills, it was just that the amount of spirit herbs he was able to obtain was too little, and was unable to reach the satisfaction in his heart. Otherwise, he would have closed up with him for a period of time, and after tempering his body, Chu Zhan's journey would have been much smoother.
Seeing Gu Ling'er taking the pill, Jiang Fann set up an array around her so that the waves coming from the outside would not disturb her.
Jiang Fann was extremely patient, he just sat there for around 10 days.
Occasionally, he would use the Arts of Pill Dao to strengthen the effects of the pellet Gu Ling'er had swallowed. He would try his best to maximize the effectiveness of the pellet, and naturally, the effect was extremely obvious.
Using this chance, Gu Ling'er successfully condensed the sixth strand of spiritual will, causing the strength of her Spiritual Sense to continuously rise.
She was an alchemist and was extremely talented in the field of medicine, so Jiang Fann was very clear on which aspect he needed to help her with, so the strength of the Spiritual Sense was of course the most important.
At the very least, she would definitely be ranked among the top among her peers. She would spend more time cultivating by herself within the Myriad Herbs Valley, otherwise her realm would be even stronger.
Since she was young, Gu Feng had always given her pills that could assist her in her cultivation, but because the quality of the Myriad Herbs Valley's pills were limited, Gu Ling'er's body had accumulated a lot of impurities.
This Small Dragon Pill had a miraculous effect of suppressing these impurities.
Half a month later, she woke up from her cultivation, feeling refreshed.
Jiang Fann prepared a big barrel at the side, which was filled with warm water, and waited for a long time.
It had to be said that his preparations were extremely thorough. He knew that after tempering his body, the impurities in his body would be forced out of his body. Naturally, he needed to bathe and wash these things off.
Gu Ling'er was a little touched, but her face blushed and she said to Jiang Fann: "You are not allowed to peek!"
Jiang Fann laughed, with his back facing the water barrel, he sat cross legged and closed his eyes to meditate.
Hearing the sound of water coming from the barrel behind him, Jiang Fann also indulged in his imagination as the corner of his mouth slightly raised. He was obviously in a good mood.
After Gu Ling'er finished washing up, she decided to bring her along to fly with him, with Northern Rock Country at the front.
Just like before, Jiang Fann would make turns from time to time to bring her to gather spirit medicine, making his feel extremely mysterious.
It had already been a week since they had arrived at Northern Rock Country.
From afar, the Northern Rock Country was pitch black and lifeless. The towering city walls that seemed to be blocking this area of land were extremely spectacular, filled with strange rocks and black smoke.
This feeling was completely different from Southern Leaf Kingdom. The two gradually saw the convoy and the crowd, they were mostly coming from the other two directions, and if they followed them, they would be able to find the city gate. However, when they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Fann was surprised to find that there were no guards.
After entering the city, it gave off a completely different feeling.
The city was bustling with noise and excitement. Almost everyone had a smile on their face and would cordially greet them as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Who would have thought that behind these walls of darkness, the people would be passionate and friendly?
Jiang Fann blocked a few men who wanted to approach Gu Ling'er, and brought her to continue walking in front of them.
"What a strange place!"
After walking about a hundred meters, the two found a group of people surrounding them. They didn't know what they were looking at, but people were cheering from time to time. They went closer and saw that two men were fighting as if their lives depended on it.
"Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Take them away! " A group of armored city guards separated from the crowd and brought the two away, but the group that was watching the show did not have any shocked expressions, as if they were used to seeing this.
Gu Ling'er frowned: "There seems to be something wrong here."
Jiang Fann nodded his head: "Let's go look for Qiu Zhen first, she knows more about this place."
They were trying to find out where Qiu Zhen was from, but when the passersby heard it, they all laughed out loud and did not say anything. Jiang Fann did not understand what was going on.
In a state of helplessness, the two could only search for it themselves. This Northern Rock Country was much larger than the Southern Leaf Kingdom, they did not know when they would be able to find it.
The vegetation here was extremely sparse, and was completely different from the grasslands in the distance outside the city. All the buildings here were black shiny rocks, and Jiang Fann had examined them carefully, this kind of rock was extremely hard, so the city wall outside should also be made of this kind of stone.
Jiang Fann brought Gu Ling'er wandering around the city, finding a restaurant to sit down.
The waiter walked over slowly, looking a little impatient. "What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Fann was a little surprised, the waiter's emotions in the city were even more like a normal person.
"Bring out your most delicious food!"
The waiter directly said, "This restaurant only has noodles. The boss and the chef have gone out and gone crazy. I still have to cook the noodles for you. Just you wait. They will come soon."
Not long after, the waiter brought two bowls of noodles and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Eat while it's hot. I don't think there are many restaurants in the city that can eat."
Jiang Fann asked: What's going on in this city? Why are people so enthusiastic? "
The waiter sized them up, "You are from outside the city, right? "Every year, there will be three months of celebration, and the palace will issue a pill for the citizens to eat. After these people eat it, they will all go crazy."
Jiang Fann frowned. He was an alchemist, so he naturally understood what he meant.
Gu Ling'er immediately said: "It should be the Free and Unrestrained Pill, if this pill does not have any benefits, why would the palace do that?"
The waiter looked at Gu Ling'er in shock. "I never thought that this beauty was actually an alchemist, so we did this to win over people's hearts, and the people who consumed that pill will feel really uncomfortable without taking it for the second year, and it's also precisely because of this that there are more and more of us in Northern Rock Country."
The waiter's attitude became a lot more relaxed as he reminded them, "You must remember that no matter who gives you the pills, don't take them."
Jiang Fann sized him up: "Have you never eaten a Free and Unrestrained Pill before?"
"Of course I have, for the first three years it was all free. But then the price suddenly skyrocketed, I couldn't afford to buy it, I didn't eat it for two years so I survived. Now looking at those guys outside, my back was covered in cold sweat.
"So this has been going on for five years?"
The waiter nodded, "That's right, but the city guards are not allowed to use it. According to what I've heard, many experts in the palace are controlled by this thing."
Jiang Fann had a rough idea in his heart, and asked: "Do you know of the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce?"
The waiter was a little surprised. "Why are you enquiring about Qiu Family? Stay away from them, in case they cause trouble. "
"Oh? Is there a problem with your Qiu Family? I have met Qiu Zhen a few times, she is a good person. "
The waiter sat opposite of them and said mysteriously: "Ten years ago, Qiu Family was the royal family, and was forced to give up the position to the current emperor. If not for the two experts holding the fort, I'm afraid that they would not be able to keep their foundation, but in spite of that, they are still the King's thorn in the flesh, and if there is a chance, they would definitely think of ways to pull it out. If not for Miss Qiu Zhen bringing treasures from all over to support the merchant guilds, then the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce would probably close its doors."
Jiang Fann didn't expect that the Qiu Zhen he had met on the prairie would actually have such an identity. No wonder those guards had risked their lives to protect her;
Gu Ling'er was also a little surprised. "Why did you give up your seat?"
The waiter shook his head, "No one knows. I only know that many of the experts in the palace suddenly turned their backs on them and forced them to give up their throne. The old king wanted to protect his family, so he had no choice but to give up his throne."
Jiang Fann did not ask further: "Then where is the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce? It's better if you tell me about them."
The waiter said: "In the west side of the city, the land is not small, but there aren't many people there. Don't blame me for not reminding you, when you get along with their Qiu Family, you will definitely get into trouble."
Seeing that he had no appetite, Jiang Fann paid the bill and left the restaurant with Gu Ling'er.
"Gu Ling'er looked at these people with a hint of disgust. Being controlled by that Free and Unrestrained Pill, these people are already addicted, how could they allow such a medicinal master to exist in the palace? "
Jiang Fann said: "These are just pitiful people who are still in the dark, how can they take advantage of me, the king does not seem to be anything good."
Gu Ling'er asked him: "Then do we still want to go to Qiu Zhen's place? It doesn't feel good here. "
"Since you're here, go take a look. The main thing is that I want to see what the treasures of this town in the north are. "
Along the way, Jiang Fann looked around and saw a merchant guild selling Free and Unrestrained Pellets. The price was extremely expensive, but people were still scrambling to buy it.
Gu Ling'er wanted to flip over the booth, but she was stopped by Jiang Fann.
As pharmacists, they looked down on this sort of situation the most.
Usually, one only needed to take a little of it, and the effects would be very good. However, this pill is very addictive, so the pharmacists in the outside world clearly forbid the creation of this pill to relieve the pain. After all, there are many types of pills and the effects are much better than this pill.
When they arrived at the west side of the city, there were no city gates. As a result, there were fewer people here compared to the south side of the city. However, it was still very lively and the people were still very enthusiastic.
When he saw the Qiu Family Chamber of Commerce, two guards were standing straight on both sides of the door, their eyes clear and bright.
The chamber of commerce was deserted, not a single customer.
Carrying Gu Ling'er, Jiang Fann walked in with large strides.
The people in the Chamber of Commerce were all completely awake. Seeing that someone had entered, they all stood up to welcome their guests.
One of them came forward to greet them.
