Chapter 921: Jiabao Incident

In Jiabao City, as the young man introduced, the shops had no intention of closing, and customers were constantly coming in and out.

Zuo Feng also found that in addition to himself, there were many other guests who were also followed by some young people like him. They were not very skilled and dressed in ordinary clothes. They bowed slightly and led the way in front, pointing and introducing the situation to people from time to time.

It can be seen that many people were like him. In order to save time and energy, they directly chose locals to lead the way.

The difference was that most of the people around him were still very leisurely, and they did not go straight to the items they wanted like Zuo Feng. This situation is also easy to understand. Zuo Feng was in a hurry to participate in the competition for selecting medicine men, but these people did not need it.

When he was in Linshan County City, Zuo Feng also got some information about the competition for selecting medicine men. The initial competition was not taken too seriously, because it mainly determined the elimination of the second-place contestants in each county city, which was not so attractive in the eyes of some people.

Many people are more concerned about the final competition, or the title of medicine man is more sought after. Of course, it does not mean that the early competitions are meaningless, because some aristocratic families want to prove the strength of their families and sects in this competition, and compete with each other through this competition.

However, in this kind of competition, it is almost impossible to see people without any identity background, so it is almost impossible to win over and cultivate one's own pharmacist in the final competition of the empire. Participating in the competition to select medicine sons like Zuo Feng, who actually does not really belong to any party, is a completely alien existence.

The young man has a more casual name, Xiao Wuzi, which does not mean that he is the fifth child in the family, but that he was abandoned here by his family when he was five years old. The young man did not remember his past very clearly, but Zuo Feng was not interested in his past, but just remembered the other party's name "Xiao Wuzi".

Xiao Wuzi first took Zuo Feng to the prescription shop that he was most interested in. In the Xuanwu Empire, prescriptions can be seen everywhere, especially some low-end prescriptions. But what Zuo Feng wanted was not those junk goods that could be seen everywhere, he wanted some prescriptions for liquid medicine and pills.

The price of such prescriptions is generally not low, and the rarer the prescription, the higher the price. This Xiao Wuzi was worthy of the gold coin given by Zuo Feng, and worked very hard to help Zuo Feng lower the price.

However, after buying the prescription, Xiao Wuzi couldn't help his curiosity. In his opinion, his customer was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was still hard to accept that he could refine the liquid medicine, but the other party couldn't buy it for collection.

Zuo Feng was very experienced and explained a little about Xiao Wuzi's curiosity and indirect inquiries. He was in someone else's territory, so he had to be careful in everything. If he didn't give some explanations, the other party might have bad intentions. Although Xiao Wuzi couldn't be taken seriously by Zuo Feng, if the other party had greed, it would be a very annoying thing to cause unnecessary trouble.

Zuo Feng made up a life story casually. He had been with Amber for a long time, and he knew some small and medium-sized families in the Xuanwu Empire. He said that he was a child who was being cultivated by a small family, and it was acceptable for him to buy things for the family. This was also consistent with Xiao Wuzi's guess.

Under Xiao Wuzi's guidance, Zuo Feng quickly bought some of the things he needed. He bought five prescriptions, not because Zuo Feng didn't have enough money, he also had a money card, but buying too much would still arouse suspicion.

In addition, he bought some medicinal herbs and refining materials. He just looked around curiously in other places and didn't buy more things.

For Zuo Feng, although most of the things here are good, there are not many things that are really useful to him, so he almost finished buying them after an hour.

After finding an inn for Zuo Feng to stay at at a relatively cheap price, Xiao Wuzi left Zuo Feng. Before leaving, he told Zuo Feng where to find him, and if he wanted to buy anything tomorrow, he could also find him.

Zuo Feng just made a simple polite remark and returned to his room.

Zuo Feng hadn't really rested well during this period of time. Since arriving in Linshan County, his nerves have always been very tense. Too many things and people made it impossible for him to practice peacefully, and even made him have no time to study alchemy.

The days in Youxiang Xiaozhu were better, but after all, the valley was too mysterious, and he had to be more careful. And the valley always gave Zuo Feng an unreal feeling, as if it was a little different from the real world.

It was not until he came to Jiabao City that Zuo Feng really felt that he had integrated into the real world, so he was also ready to take a good rest before making plans. Some of the commonly used medicines on him were consumed a lot during this period, and there was not much left of the Yanjing Fire Thunder.

Although this thing is not very effective with Zuo Feng's current strength, his current alchemy skills have improved, and his refining skills have also risen, and his refining ability has also improved. Zuo Feng believes that if he starts to refine now, he should be able to refine a Yanjing Fire Thunder with greater power than before.

He has already purchased all the materials for making Yanjing Fire Thunder, and he just needs to find an opportunity to refine it. So after Zuo Feng packed up, he went to bed to rest. Xiao Miao had caused Zuo Feng a lot of trouble along the way, and now Zuo Feng fell asleep in just a short while after lying on the bed.

Closing his eyes, Zuo Feng felt slightly dizzy. The discomfort caused by flying on Xiao Miao had not completely subsided yet. I sighed secretly in my heart and tried not to recall the energy I had at that time. Soon my breathing became evener.

The rest of a warrior is roughly the same as that of ordinary people, but there are many differences. For example, when Zuo Feng is resting, his breath will become longer. This is because his body is already practicing Qigong on its own. Even in ordinary daily tasks such as walking, sitting and lying down, he has never stopped practicing.

This is why some people practice fast and some people practice slowly. Only when you enter Zuo Feng's current state can you truly embark on the path of practice.

In addition, the rest of a warrior is more of a state of relaxation, allowing all parts of the body to achieve cultivation under relative circumstances. But this does not mean that Zuo Feng has entered a deep sleep at this time and cannot hear thunder outside like ordinary people.

It is almost impossible to see such a situation among warriors, unless they have reached some special points in their practice, or the special circumstances of their skills lead to isolation from the outside world. Otherwise, even if the warrior is practicing, his body is still in a special state, and everything in the outside world can actually be known.

For example, although Zuo Feng is resting now, he is still practicing at the same time, but it is just a little slower than the full-body cultivation speed.

Time passed slowly, and Zuo Feng felt that his body had been fully relaxed, but he would not get up now, because he had to practice enough this time. In the next few days, he was going to go all out and try to be a few days in advance. Arriving at the Imperial Capital will give you plenty of time to make some preparations.

But not long after midnight, a faint fragrance floated into his nose. Shortly after Zuo Feng smelled this smell, he immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the window.

For the Xuanwu Empire in late autumn, it is even colder than Ye Lin at this time. Ordinary people would keep their doors and windows closed when sleeping. But Zuo Feng's physical strength is different from ordinary people, so when he rests, he will open the window. This way, he will be the first to notice any movement outside. In addition, he can also let the spiritual energy of the world outside continue to enter, allowing him to breathe in. There are more additions in .

But it was precisely because the window was open that a breeze blew into the room, bringing with it the slightest hint of fragrance.

As a high-level alchemist, Zuo Feng is more sensitive to smells than others. This fragrance is by no means ordinary, but is made from a mixture of various medicinal materials. The smell makes people feel more relaxed, and actually makes it easier for people to fall into deep sleep.

Now that the nature of the medicine has been determined, Zuo Feng also knows the effect of this medicine. This is another form of incense.

Ordinary incense can make people sleepy, but its effect on warriors is very low. The incense that Zuo Feng smells now actually has little effect on ordinary people, but it has a more obvious effect on warriors. Because warriors are sleeping, smelling the fragrance of this medicine will make it easier for them to enter the deep sleep that occurs during cultivation.

The first time Zuo Feng smelled this fragrance, he first thought of Xiao Wuzi.

Could it be that the little boy saw that he bought a lot of things today and realized that he should have a certain net worth, so he made up his mind.

But after second thoughts, he felt that it shouldn't be the case. If Xiao Wuzi really attacked him, he shouldn't have only used such a special scent. Moreover, it seems that Xiaowuzi shouldn't have such a mysterious fragrance, because the medicinal materials used to refine such a mysterious fragrance are very expensive, and ordinary people cannot possess it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng slowly stood up, came to the window, and looked in the direction of the wind. At this sight, Zuo Feng's eyes also condensed slightly, and several figures flashed past on the roof, but they gathered in the distance.

At this time, Zuo Feng subconsciously thought of the convoy he encountered when entering the city. At that time, Zuo Feng paid special attention to the direction of the convoy in order to avoid causing trouble. Now it seems that those people were heading in that direction.

After pondering for a moment, Zuo Feng turned around and walked back to the bed. Instead of continuing to sleep, he sat up cross-legged and meditated.

But he was secretly thinking, 'It seems that tonight will not be peaceful, and I don't know which family that team belongs to. ’
