Chapter 131 Acheng

Going west from Xinwen County, this is the core area of ​​Qi State, and pedestrians would pass by from time to time on the official road. Hua Kai and Han Jinsheng rode horses at a slow speed, and stopped to rest when they encountered villages and temporary inns on the road.

It took 5 days without any trouble to arrive at Acheng, which is a county town nominally belonging to Qi State. Because there are many mountains and the land is not fertile, and it is too close to the Dongling Mountains, Qi State does not attach much importance to Acheng.

Acheng is located in a valley, and the people around it are all cultivating fields halfway up the mountain. Because the terrain is good and it is one of the important locations for entering Zhao State, there are quite a lot of people living here, and the scale of the county town is larger than Guang County.

Hua Kai walked into Acheng and looked at the terraced fields reclaimed in the outer city mountains. He couldn't help but sigh at the diligence of the people. Acheng is far from the sea and far from the prosperous area of ​​Qingzhou. After Acheng is the mountainous Taishan County, and the terrain is not suitable for large-scale business, so here can only be based on agricultural development.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy and high yield, many places in this world are mainly cultivated within the city walls. Hua Kai saw many villages with city walls outside Acheng, and oxen could be seen working in the fields everywhere. Only after entering the inner city did he see horses walking through the streets, and most of them were weak and strong horses.

Seeing a restaurant decorated well, Hua Kai and Han Jinsheng planned to eat here first.

The two walked towards the store. The waiter was also smart. Seeing the two coming, he took the initiative to lead the horse and handed the horse to the waiter. Hua Kai took out a tael of silver and threw it over. The waiter happily took the horse to the backyard to feed it!

There were not many guests when they walked into the restaurant. Hua Kai found a seat by the window and sat down. The boss saw that Hua Kai's decoration looked like a young man from a noble family traveling. Han Jinsheng looked like a grassland man and looked like a guard. This kind of young man usually spends the most generously.

"What would you like to order, sir? Our store just received a good barbarian bull yesterday. Would you like to try two pounds?" The boss looked at Hua Kai and said with a smile.

"What delicious food do you have? Just bring it up. You can't miss the money!" Hua Kai replied with a smile.

"Okay! I see you are not from Acheng. We have a unique Hanguang grass here. It is known as a half-immortal grass that makes people hungry. Please wait a moment!" The boss went downstairs after saying that!

This [Hanguang grass] is a first-grade spiritual grass. It can usually only be found on cliffs. It must be taken within three days after collection, otherwise the medicinal effect will be lost. It is not easy for this restaurant to use spiritual grass to cook.

Watching the boss go down, a waiter brought nuts for the two to pass the time. After a while, the boss personally brought the dishes up.

There are four dishes in total. The cooking methods are quite simple but the ingredients are good. They have a different flavor when eaten.

"Boss, we are from Guang County. I wonder what good things are there in Acheng?" Hua Kai has the posture of a young master from aristocratic family. These young masters like to buy some local specialties when they go to each place.

"Young Master, you have finally asked the right person. The most famous tree in Acheng is the white jade waxwood tree of the Yao family, the county lord. Many big families cannot get one tree. Although the Yao family is only a seventh-grade family..."

The boss is a talkative person. He also knows what a young man like Hua Kai is most interested in. After a while, Hua Kai has a general understanding of the entire Acheng power.

Acheng is dominated by the Yao family, a seventh-grade family. There are three other families in the city, but they are all ninth-grade. This year, Acheng also responded to the [Conscription Order] of Linzi City and sent more than 2,000 soldiers to Leling City. Hua Kai felt that the city seemed a little depressed.

In addition, the Yao family has a spiritual tree called [White Jade Wax Tree]. As a seventh-grade spiritual wood, it is a rare material for training weapons. The Yao family also occasionally uses [White Jade Wax Tree] to trade with big families, which shows that it is not easy to cultivate this [White Jade Wax Tree].

"Boss, where did you buy this [Hanguang Grass]? Can I buy a few?" After the meal, Hua Kai spent 12 gold when he paid the bill. If he didn't know that this half of the [Hanguang Grass] was a spiritual medicine, he would have thought he was being ripped off.

"Only the mountain people outside the village occasionally send it to our restaurant. We can only preserve it for a week at most with special methods. If you want it, we have three plants here." The boss smiled and said, seeing that Hua Kai was a rich man.

Three [Hanguang Grass] cost 60 taels of gold, which was already a very cheap price. [Hanguang Grass] can only barely enter the spiritual grass level, and can only be used as a secondary medicine in the [Alchemy Room] prescription, but it also lit up more than ten kinds of pill prescriptions.

Originally, he wanted to rest in Acheng and then go to Handan City, the capital of Zhao State, but knowing that the Yao family had a seventh-grade spiritual wood, Hua Kai planned to stay here for a few more days to see if it was possible to get this [White Jade Wax Tree].

After finding an inn, which was only a hundred meters away from Yao Mansion, Hua Kai and Han Jinsheng wandered around the streets in the city to see if he could find the spiritual medicine he needed in Acheng.

When they arrived at the largest medicine shop, there were quite a lot of spiritual medicines in Acheng, and some of them were not available in the [Alchemy Room].

"Shopkeeper, do you have any high-grade spiritual medicines? I will definitely give you a reasonable price." Hua Kai saw that the shopkeeper took out only first- and second-grade spiritual medicines, so he spoke.

"I do have high-quality spiritual medicines in my shop, but I won't show them to others easily!" The shopkeeper looked at Hua Kai and said deliberately.

"Then let's do this! I want all these spiritual medicines. Shopkeeper, you settle the bill first, and then we'll talk about high-quality spiritual medicines." Hua Kai knew that the other party was afraid that he didn't have money, after all, the price of any third-grade spiritual medicine was more than a thousand gold.

"A total of 31 first-grade spiritual medicines and 6 second-grade spiritual medicines. Thank you for your patronage, 4,150 gold." The shopkeeper calculated the price of the spiritual medicines and looked at Hua Kai.

Hua Kai took out a purple gold coin and put it on the table. Most of the people who could take out purple gold coins were from big families. The shopkeeper smiled when he saw this.

"Young Master, you see, I don't know what I am doing. The high-quality spiritual medicines are all kept by our master! If you need it, I can take you to see our master, but you have to rest here first. I will go and inform the master!"

Hua Kai then knew that this medicine shop was owned by the Yao family. He waited in the medicine shop for half an hour, and the shopkeeper came back.

Hua Kai followed the owner of the medicine shop into the Yao family mansion through the side door. Although the Yao mansion was not as luxurious as the Han family in Guang County, it occupied more than half of the area in the center of A County. Hua Kai entered and found that there were many spiritual herbs and spiritual rice planted on both sides of the road in the Yao mansion, but they looked sparse, which was far from the spiritual rice in the Hua family's spiritual field.

In fact, Hua Kai didn't know that many families spent 30 kilograms of spiritual rice to plant one acre of spiritual field, and it was considered good if 40% of them could survive.

Arriving at a courtyard, the courtyard has a beautiful view, and there is a rockery stream flowing under the rockery. It feels that the spiritual energy here is about twice the ordinary spiritual energy, which should be the existence of a spiritual array.

"This young master, our master is over a hundred years old this year. The young masters have all gone to the battlefield to respond to the call of Linzi City. You must speak softly when the time comes!" The owner of the drug store said to Hua Kai outside the court.

Entering the court, Hua Kai saw an old man with spots on his face lying on a recliner. Seeing the owner of the drug store bring Hua Kai in, he slowly opened his eyes.

Hua Kai finally knew that the owner of the drug store wanted him to speak softly. Looking at the old man on the recliner, Hua Kai was afraid that he would scare the other party away if he walked loudly.

This old man has reached the point of being exhausted. Because of the lack of blood and qi, the whole person is abnormally thin, and the skin looks particularly loose.

"The guest has arrived. Please take a seat! Please forgive me for being unable to move!" Although he looked like this, he seemed very confident when he spoke. Hua Kai checked that the other party was actually at the Great Perfection of Qi Training Realm.

"Old man, you are welcome. I heard from the owner of the medicine shop that there are high-level spiritual medicines. I came here to buy spiritual medicines." Hua Kai bowed to the man and said.

"The Yao family has a lot of high-level spiritual medicines. I wonder where you are from, young master?" The old man asked about Hua Kai's origins. High-level spiritual medicines are strategic materials in aristocratic families and are generally not sold easily.

"The Hua family in Guang County is a small ordinary family. The old man will not only sell spiritual medicines to aristocratic families!" Hua Kai said in a low voice.

The old man sighed when he heard this. He pointed at the owner of the medicine shop and said, "Go and get the [Yinhan Demon Flame Grass]."

Hua Kai closed his eyes and stopped moving when he saw the old man say this. He could only wait quietly.

A few minutes later, the owner of the medicine shop came and took a crystal jade box. After opening it, a gloomy evil spirit emanated from the black spiritual grass in the jade box. Hua Kai checked and found that it was a fifth-grade spiritual medicine. Its main function was to regenerate broken limbs and bones. It could only be used as a secondary medicine and could be used to refine spiritual pills.

"Sir, this [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass] is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine. The price is 6,000 gold. You can take this fifth-grade spiritual medicine if you pay another 150 gold." The owner of the medicine shop said to Hua Kai.

"[Yin Han Mo Yan Grass] can regenerate broken bones. As a spiritual pill, 6,000 gold is not expensive. I wonder if the Yao family has other high-level spiritual medicines. The price is negotiable." Hua Kai said after taking a look at the [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass].

The old man lying in the pavilion opened his eyes when he heard this. Although this [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass] is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, it can only be used as a secondary medicine for spiritual pills, and its effect is infinitely reduced. If it weren't for the fact that [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass] is easy to preserve, the Yao family would have thrown it away long ago. Today, Hua Kai actually knew the use of [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass] and wanted to buy it for 6,000 gold.

"Do you still have money to buy spiritual medicine?" Hearing Hua Kai say that he was from the Hua family in Guang County, the old man had already given up hope. He didn't remember any powerful Hua family in Guang County, and most people would not lie about their own family.

But seeing that Hua Kai could easily wave his hand to give away ten thousand gold, and that he could recognize such a rare spiritual medicine as [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass], he couldn't help but become interested in Hua Kai.

"If it's not some special treasure, I think I can still afford it. I wonder what other spiritual medicines the Yao family has. I want to broaden my horizons!" Hua Kai looked at the old man. It would be best if he could find more spiritual medicines from the Yao family. Even if not, after buying this [Yin Han Mo Yan Grass], he should be able to talk to the other party about the [White Jade Wax Tree]!
