Chapter 60 Black horse

There are 204 spiritual herbs in total, worth only 4290 gold, which is not enough to pay more than 6300 gold.

Hua Kai kept all the spiritual herbs in the [Alchemy Room] regardless of whether they were useful or not. The medicinal effects of the herbs stored here will never weaken.

When Chief Tiefa saw that Hua Kai had taken all the spiritual herbs away, and the price he offered was much higher than he expected, he even wondered whether he should save all the spiritual herbs he encountered in the future and give them to Hua Kai in exchange for spiritual herbs, so that the effect would be better and the side effects would be smaller.

"These are the spiritual herbs. We have some strange stones in our tribe. You can go and have a look. I didn't expect that the head of the Hua family is so young but has such a strong ability to identify medicine. No wonder he can become the head of the Hua family." Chief Tiefa said this out of sincere admiration. He has lived in the grassland for more than 70 years, but he can't recognize the value of all the spiritual herbs at a glance.

"They are all skills for making a living. If the Ordos tribe has strange stones, the Hua family will also collect them." Hua Kai knew that the other party regarded him as a disciple of the alchemist.

Generally, alchemists train their disciples from a young age, starting from knowing the spiritual medicine and controlling the fire of the alchemy furnace. Hua Kai did not quibble. He followed the Tiefa tribe leader to a corner of the spiritual medicine room. The Tiefa tribe leader took off the animal skin on the ground, and then there was a wooden board underneath. After taking out the wooden board, Hua Kai saw that there was a fixed wooden box inside. Hua Kai thought that the wooden box contained the demon pill, but he did not expect that the other party took out a key and opened it to find a jade box. The Tiefa tribe leader carefully opened the jade box. There were words that Hua Kai did not recognize all around, and these words could be moved. Watching the Tiefa tribe leader pull all the words here and there, all the words came neatly to both sides of the jade box. It turned out that there were password boxes on the grassland, which were much safer than ordinary wooden boxes. When Hua Kai opened the jade box, he felt a strong spiritual energy coming, and he used the [Eye of Truth] to check. [Demon Pill]: A large amount of demon energy is gathered in the body of the demon beast. After the spirit beast takes it, there is a probability of improving its own bloodline. It can be used for refining tools or alchemy. This is undoubtedly a real [Demon Pill]. Moreover, Hua Kai checked the energy fluctuations in this demon pill and found it was extremely strong. It was produced by a mid-level demon beast. If it was placed in the Central Plains, it would not be difficult to exchange it for a city.

"Chief Tiefa, you should know the value of this demon pill. If it was placed in the hands of a first-class family in the Central Plains, it would also be a priceless treasure. If you hand it over to me, I can only exchange it for a pill that can help you break through the Qi training realm, plus some ordinary pills. You have to think about it carefully." Hua Kai said when he saw this.

"As long as you can send me a pill that can help me break through to the Xiantian realm within a month, this [Demon Pill] will be yours. A [Demon Pill] is far inferior to a Xiantian realm for the Ordos tribe. The Wuzhui tribe has become more and more powerful in recent years. If I can't break through in the near future, the Ordos tribe may be in great crisis." Chief Tiefa said thoughtfully.

The two of them were considered to have a heart-to-heart talk. After seeing the [Demon Pill], Chief Tiefa locked the [Demon Pill] back into the jade box, and the two came to the strange stone storage room.

The stone storage room of the Ordos tribe is just a messy tent, with all kinds of stones thrown randomly inside. The whole tent is basically full.

"No one comes here usually. A few years ago, we also took stones to the Huhan tribe to try our luck, but no one paid attention to us for many years. In this way, the number of stones is increasing. See if there is anything you need." Chief Tiefa said, pointing to the pile of stones.

"Call a few people! I said you should keep the useful ones, and throw away the others!" Hua Kai couldn't pick so many stones.

Chief Tiefa called a few confidants. Hua Kai checked and found that they were all in the late stage of Qidong Realm. Judging from their clothes, they should all be members of the tribal collateral line.

Hua Kai commanded everyone to move all the stones out of the tent piece by piece. These stones were of different sizes and colors. All the stones were thrown outside the tent. Hua Kai only left one out of about dozens of pieces. Sometimes there was no metal in hundreds of pieces. After more than two hours of work, thousands of stones were sorted out, and only 33 of them were metal that could be used to refine weapons.

"These 33 pieces are all valuable metals, among which meteorites are the most common. One pound of meteorite iron costs 5 gold. I take these 11 pieces... about 320 pounds, a total of 1,600 gold. This piece is obsidian magic gold, only about 10 pounds, so let's say it's 500 gold, and I'll give you another 90 gold later."

Hua Kai picked up all the stones and only took out 11 pieces of meteorite iron and one piece of obsidian magic gold to make up the remaining difference of 2,000 gold. He helped the Tiefa tribe leader to select all the useful strange stones, which also showed the attitude of the Hua family. I have this ability to make money wherever I go, and it is not too high for the Hua family to form an alliance with the Ordos tribe.

"Since the head of the Hua family said that those strange stones are worthless, you guys can carry them out and throw them away! Anyone who thinks that the stones are beautiful can collect a few for their own family to enjoy. The head of the Hua family... I won't say anything. If you treat me sincerely, the Ordos tribe will always be a friend of the Hua family. I will have someone send 10 black horses to your caravan this afternoon. I don't know when you will set off to return to Qi..."

After selling 12 strange stones, the Hua family's money was paid off. The leader of the Tiefa tribe originally thought that he would have to sell some tribal horses to make up the difference! Hua Kai helped him select all the valuable strange stones. These strange stones will be considered as the property of the tribe in the future. At least Hua Kai will accept them, and he will not worry about the tribe having no money to pay for Hua Kai's elixir in the future.

After rejecting the invitation of the leader of the Tiefa tribe to lunch, Hua Kai returned to the caravan with a look of joy on his face. With these spiritual medicines, as long as he returns to Qi and replenishes some of the medicines, the Hua family can continuously refine more elixirs.

As for these meteorites, as long as the family's luck value is enough, they can be used to refine various weapons, which greatly improves the combat power of the Hua family.

After Hua Kai returned to the caravan, he told his grandfather to let everyone prepare to leave. Hua Xing looked at the meteorites and spiritual medicines brought back by Hua Kai, knowing that the Hua family's trip to the Xiongnu was a complete success.

"I promised to refine a breakthrough pill for the Tiefa tribe leader. In the afternoon, the Ordos tribe will send 10 black horses. This is just a thank you to us. There will be a big reward when the pill is refined and handed over.

I plan to go to Zhaoguo Xincheng with my fifth uncle tomorrow. It is about 3,000 miles away from Zhaoguo Xincheng. Xincheng can probably buy the medicinal materials we need."

Zhaoguo Xincheng is also one of the large cities in the Central Plains. He is located in the northern border of Zhaoguo and borders Linhuguo. If Hua Kai wants to collect all the prescriptions for the pills, going to Zhaoguo Xincheng is the best choice.

Hua Kai told his grandfather about his idea and asked him to send everyone out and put all the meteorites and spiritual medicines into the portable space in front of his grandfather.

"You want to go to Zhao? No, I'll go if you want to. You write the names and shapes of the herbs on the sheepskin, and I'll be back in 10 days on my flaming horse." Hua Xing said hurriedly when he heard this.

"I have a space, so maybe I can find some bargains if I go to Zhao. It's also convenient to put all the gifts on the road in the space. Tomorrow, after we leave the Ordos tribe, I'll load the remaining goods in the space onto the carriage. You go north to learn more about the situation of the Xiongnu country, so that we can establish an alliance with the Ordos tribe in the future." Hua Kai persuaded his grandfather.

But his grandfather didn't agree anyway. He called his fifth uncle, who was also determined not to let Hua Kai take the risk. In this way, Hua Kai's wish to go to Zhao was shattered.

After lunch at noon, the Hua family caravan began to pack up and prepare to leave. At this time, Chaganbala brought several servants and led 10 black horses to the Hua family caravan. These horses were big and small, and some of the ponies looked only a little over one year old.

"Master Hua, these are the 10 Wuzhui horses my father asked me to send. They are all here. Take a look." Chaganbala said with a proud look on his face.

These Wuzhui horses were captured in the battles with the Wuzhui tribe over the years. Now there are only more than 40 horses in the entire Ordos tribe. Wuzhui horses are known as one of the eight major horse breeds on the grassland. As long as they are well-bred, they will become BMWs when they grow up. All the famous divine horses in the world belong to the eight major horse breeds. Generally, only large tribes and families will raise horses of this quality.

"Sure enough, the eight famous horses are indeed worthy of their reputation. Please tell Chief Tiefa that the Hua family caravan will leave early tomorrow morning and will definitely come back within a month." Hua Kai said.

"Master Hua, my father also told you not to forget the dried spiritual cow. The Ordos tribe is willing to give a dried spiritual cow to its closest friend." Chaganbala said.

A dried spiritual cow has at least 4,000 jin of meat, which is worth more than 4,000 gold in Qi State. If you want to buy it fairly, you can't get it without 1,500 gold. The Ordos tribe is willing to give the Hua family a dried spiritual cow, which is the symbol of the grassland tribe. This shows the sincerity of the other party.

Hua Kai then remembered that he was busy with spiritual medicine and strange stones in the morning and forgot to save money to buy dried spiritual cows.

"No hurry, let's wait until we come back. The Hua family will definitely have gifts by then." Hua Kai said.

Wuzhui horse: 4th level (56%)

Physical fitness: 35

Speed: 38

Spirituality: 42

Characteristics: travel a thousand miles a day, protect the master

Among these 10 Wuzhui horses, there are 6 adult horses, 4 of which are already BMW level, and this is the highest level male horse among them.

In addition, there are two young horses who are just two years old, and two are only more than one year old and are not as tall as a person when standing, but they can be seen at a glance when put together with other ordinary horses.

When the Hua family caravan saw the ten black horses, they couldn't help but come to watch. Merchants know more or less about horses, and there is no one who doesn't like horses.

Grandpa drove away all those who came forward to touch the horses. He arranged personnel to be responsible for the feeding and training of these 10 black horses.

In the afternoon, the Hua Kai caravan bought hundreds of sheep in the Ordos tribe, which they would eat on the road in the next few days. They also sold two carts of fine feed. With the black horses, the caravan needed more fine feed.

Early in the morning of June 8, the Hua family caravan was fully prepared, and the caravan slowly drove out of the Ordos tribe. A team of Ordos cavalry sent them out of the tribe 20 miles and went back. Hua Kai instructed his grandfather and uncle in front of the caravan.

"There are 4 kinds of spiritual medicines in total. This [Golden Crow Vine] is the main medicine for refining [Broken Wall Pill]. It's best to buy it. If you can't buy [Black Gastrodia] and [Jade Bone Fruit], you must buy them. [Brilliant Flame Blood Heart Ganoderma] is used to refine another kind of elixir. It's best to buy it. In addition, there are 97 kinds of ordinary medicinal materials, which should be easy to buy. These are 4 [Rejuvenation Pills], which should be able to sell for more than 700 gold. There are also 5 gold for your expenses on the road... If you can't reach the new city of Zhao State, return to the caravan as soon as possible." Hua Kai looked at his grandfather and his fifth uncle. They both had two BMWs. In addition to a day's dry food and water, the horses had some ordinary soybeans, which were used to replenish the horses' physical strength. "Okay, Kai'er, don't worry! I walked the road to Zhao State when I was young. With the strength of your fifth uncle and I, if anyone dares to rob on the road, we will make them pay. You just go up along this stream, and when we come back, we will find you along the mark." Hua Xing said, patting his chest. "If you can't find us within 20 days, go back to the Ordos tribe. I will stay here and wait for you." Hua Kai told his grandfather.

Originally, the fifth uncle was going to go alone. Even if the innate realm was not able to stop him, he dared to take this delicate little girl to survive in the wild in the winter when he was still in the first level of the Qidong realm. From Linzi City to Huajiabao, there were more than 200 miles of wild beasts rampant, and he fought all the way back.

But he was not familiar with the roads in the grassland and had never been to Zhao State. Only Hua Xing and Wei Baotou in the Hua family caravan knew the way to Zhao State. After thinking for a long time, Hua Kai decided to let his grandfather and the fifth uncle go to the new city of Zhao State together.

Hua Xing and Hua Zichen rushed south all the way. They did not stop when they met the tribe on the road. The pace of the BMW was fast. In an hour, the two ran a hundred miles. They felt that the horses were sweating a little. Then they gradually passed the true energy to the horses.

The most important thing about the cooperation between the cavalry and the horse is how to use the true qi to increase the endurance and burst of the horse. Many horses have been ridden by masters of the Qi training realm for a long time, and they have gradually broken through to become divine horses. Giving the true qi to the horse can not only temper the horse, but also improve the cooperation between people and horses.

After riding for another hour, the two passed by the Urad tribe. A team of cavalry saw the two and wanted to stop and ask, but Hua Xing and Hua Zichen ignored them. The two increased the true qi output to the horse, and the horse suddenly began to burst out. The Urad tribe cavalry then realized that the two were masters of the Qi training realm, so they did not dare to chase them at will. The Qi training realm was the strongest in their tribe. Even if the other party easily killed a group of people in their tribe, they would not dare to offend the other party easily.

After passing the Urad tribe, Hua Xing and Hua Zichen got off the horse. They rested for a cup of tea, changed to another BMW and started on the road again. On the way, the tribes saw that the two BMWs were both Qi training realm strengths, and no one dared to stop them. The Qi training realm can basically run rampant on the grassland.

By noon, the two had arrived at the Huhan tribe, 560 miles away. Hua Xing's face was a little blue at this time. His qualification was only B-level, and his true energy recovery was not as fast as his younger son.

Huhan tribe is still bustling now. Seven caravans including the Han family in Guangxian are still here. The market is full of various businesses. Hua Xing and Hua Zichen found a restaurant, had lunch, and asked the store owner to help them feed the horses. It was not until 4 pm when the sun was setting that the two got on the horse and continued to move forward.

After passing the Huhan tribe, the two did not take the road they came from. They began to drive southwest. Not long after, they encountered a Gobi desert. After passing the Gobi desert, the number of horse bandits here increased again.

Hua Xing and Hua Zichen killed dozens of blind horse bandits on the road, but there were still horse bandits rushing over wherever they went. They waited until the sun set at night before they entered the central and northern areas of the Linhu grassland. They entered a medium-sized tribe to rest, which was 1,100 miles away from the Ordos tribe.
