Chapter 720 Eight Rare Qilin!
Chapter 720 Eight Rare Qilin!
After Han Li and the others left, Shi Hao followed Lan Yichen to the central urban area of Bright City.
Qin Hao originally wanted to go to the city for a stroll, since he grew up in the Immortal Mountain and was quite interested in such markets where cultivators gathered.
However, after glancing at Shi Hao and Lan Yichen's departing figures, he ultimately gave up the idea.
"Brother, I'll go with you."
Qin Hao quickly walked to Shi Hao's side and said with a smile.
Shi Hao turned to look at him and asked casually, "Aren't you going shopping?"
Qin Hao shook his head: "I'm worried about you going alone. I've heard that Bright City is a mixed bag, and who knows if someone might try to take advantage of you."
Shi Hao chuckled: "What do I have to worry about? I'm not a three-year-old."
Qin Hao didn't reply, but simply followed silently beside him.
Seeing this, Shi Hao said nothing more, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Although this younger brother did not grow up by my side, he shares the same blood as me and his concern for me is genuine.
He could sense that.
The city of light was much larger than Shi Hao had imagined. Its streets were crisscrossed, and although the buildings on both sides were dilapidated, their former glory was still evident.
Lan Yichen led the Shi Hao brothers through one street after another. Everywhere on the street were cultivators setting up stalls, some selling spiritual herbs, some selling magic weapons, and others selling cultivation techniques and bone fragments.
The sounds of hawking and bargaining filled the air, making the whole city bustling with activity.
"This Bright City... is truly prosperous."
Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Shi Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Lan Yichen smiled and agreed, "That's natural. Bright City is one of the few safe areas in the Immortal Ancient Ruins. There is an agreement among the various races that they are not allowed to fight in the city. Therefore, every time the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm opens, this place becomes a gathering place for cultivators. Over time, these large-scale markets have been formed."
Shi Hao nodded, his gaze sweeping over the stalls. He could see many good things here. Some of the spiritual medicines were of high grade, and some of the magical artifacts were full of spiritual energy, but he did not stop.
In his mind, the most urgent task at hand was to retrieve the rare medicinal herb that Lan Yichen and the others had discovered.
At this moment, Shi Hao suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Lan Yichen and asked, "By the way, what kind of precious medicine did you and Luo Dao find here?"
Upon hearing Shi Hao's question, Lan Yichen's expression changed instantly.
He looked around, then leaned close to Shi Hao's ear and whispered, "It's an Eight Treasures Qilin..."
"Eight Treasures Qilin?"
Shi Hao frowned.
He knew about Eight Treasures Chicken, but he had never heard of Eight Treasures Qilin.
Qin Hao, who was following behind him, also looked blank, clearly unaware of what the Eight Treasures Qilin was.
Just as Lan Yichen was about to explain, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
"Get out of the way!"
"What right do you have? I reserved this stall first!"
"court death!"
People around stepped back, making way for an open space.
Shi Hao and the other two looked up and saw two cultivators facing off, swords drawn.
One was burly with a face full of fat, while the other was thin and tall with sinister eyes.
Both of them exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating that they were both strong individuals who had ignited divine fire.
"They're from Fire Cloud Cave!" "The other one is from Demon Sunflower Garden. These two forces have always been at odds, I didn't expect to run into them here."
"Retreat quickly, don't get caught in the crossfire!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Private fights are prohibited in Bright City. These two are just saying some tough words here; they won't actually fight."
"That's true, but what if a fight actually breaks out?"
"Yes, yes, we'd better run far away to avoid being caught in the crossfire..."
The crowd dispersed like a receding tide, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
Shi Hao glanced at the two men, then calmly looked away and said to Lan Yichen, "Let's go, this is none of our business."
Lan Yichen nodded, and the three of them bypassed the riotous crowd and continued walking towards the city center.
The conflict between the two people behind them was escalating, and it seemed like they were about to go outside the city to fight.
But Shi Hao didn't turn around; he had no interest in such things.
Such battles occur every day in the Immortal Ancient Ruins; he can't manage them all, nor does he want to.
"Brother Lan, please continue... what exactly is that Eight Treasures Qilin?"
Shi Hao asked as he walked.
Lan Yichen snapped out of his daze, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered, "The Eight Treasures Qilin is a legendary sacred medicine. It is said to be formed from the essence of eight kinds of spiritual creatures of heaven and earth. It is shaped like a Qilin, crystal clear, and contains extremely rich life force. No matter if it is a divine medicine or a holy medicine, as long as a few drops of the juice of the Eight Treasures Qilin are added to the decoction, the medicinal power can be multiplied several times out of thin air. This characteristic is simply heaven-defying!"
A glint of light flashed in Shi Hao's eyes: "Then how does it compare to the Void Heaven Divine Vine?"
"I don't know about that..."
Lan Yichen gave a wry smile and said, "However, both the Void Heaven Divine Vine and the Eight Treasures Kirin are sacred medicines. I believe their grades should be comparable, but the Void Heaven Divine Vine focuses on the restoration and continuation of life force, while the Eight Treasures Kirin focuses more on the amplification effect of alchemy... If one could obtain both, that would be simply..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.
Shi Hao's heart stirred.
He had already used up most of the spiritual leaves of the Void Heaven Divine Vine in order to ignite the Three Thousand Flames, but the sacred herb itself was still there.
If he could also obtain the Eight Treasures Qilin, wouldn't he have directly obtained two kinds of sacred medicine?
More importantly, Xiao Yan, an alchemist, was in their chat group.
If this Eight Treasures Qilin is handed over to the other party, the pills they receive in the future will definitely be more potent!
Thinking of this, Shi Hao's desire to obtain the Eight Treasures Qilin became even stronger.
He looked at Lan Yichen and continued to ask, "Where did you find this Eight Treasures Qilin?"
Lan Yichen said, "It's in an ancient hall in the center of the city. That hall was originally the dojo of the Lord of Bright City, but it was later abandoned. It's full of restrictions. Luo Dao and I accidentally discovered the Eight Treasures Qilin, but the restrictions are too strong, so we can't get in. That's why we asked you to come and help us."
Shi Hao nodded, his mind preoccupied with the precious herb, and unconsciously quickened his pace.
at the same time.
In an abandoned ancient temple in the center of Bright City.
Luo Dao was pacing back and forth anxiously, glancing into the hall every now and then, his eyes filled with impatience.
They discovered the Eight Treasures Qilin by chance. Although it was located in an ancient city teeming with cultivators, it had not yet been discovered by anyone due to the restrictions placed upon it…
However, when they broke the seal earlier, they had inadvertently triggered some hidden formations inside.
The aura of the Eight Treasures Kirin is gradually being leaked out.
I'm sure it won't be long before someone in the city notices what's going on here!
