Nijin's eyes were as cold as ice, his mind became more and more alert, his thoughts became faster and faster.
"Hmph! If you think you can beat me, then we don't mind playing a game."
After speaking, he put the two things back and continued walking forward.
After an hour, Nijin dug out a plant from the grass along the stream, his eyes scanned carefully and his mouth smiled happily.
"Another piece of Anhui grass.
This herb is very good at detoxifying and exorcising evil, and will probably sell for a lot of money."
After all, this place is just the edge of the forest, the herbs have almost been picked clean, even if there are herbs left, I'm afraid they will be eaten by wild animals.
Having a single root of Anhui grass is already a great blessing.
The afternoon sun turned to the west, Nijin finally came out of the forest, he took some dry food and some spring water and started to eat and drink.
After eating and drinking, he took off his torn shirt that still had some dried blood left, tore off a small piece, and took a bag of medicinal powder in his hand, and applied it to the wound on his thigh.
More than an hour ago, he accidentally encountered a wild boar. He didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't expect the pig to get mad and rush towards him.
Nijin's physical condition was not good, he only knew how to swing his knife and slash wildly. Fortunately, this pig only slightly injured him. After being hit by a knife, he roared away.
Nijin gritted his teeth and sprinkled the medicine, each wave of pain came, but he became a habit and did not groan.
On this journey, he had encountered too many ferocious beasts and had been injured quite a few, even a small wound was nothing.
Continue to sprinkle a little medicinal powder on the scratches on the waist and waist.
After finishing somewhere, Nijin walked towards the setting sun.
That night Nijin finally arrived in Fujian district.
Although Fujian district is only a small city, there are quite a few people passing through it.
Nijin went to the city gate, handed over some money, and was immediately let inside.
This small town is not large in scale, residents here often wear ethnic minority costumes, embroidered in all colors, extremely eye-catching.
Nijin found a clothing store and used five coins to buy a set of local clothes to wear.
The people here are very simple, they answer whatever you ask and are very friendly.
Through exploration, Nijin learned that if you want to buy a gu insect corpse, it is not difficult, as long as you have enough money, you can buy it.
Although Gu worm corpses are not easy to find, sometimes people sell them.
It should be noted that there are many fake goods.
Many people do not know how to look at goods, buy fake goods, and lose money.
Doctors, village elders, shamans, and sorcerers often find corpses of ancient insects to serve in healing and exorcism.
If these people do not know how to distinguish, buying fake goods and treating deadly diseases is something that happens every day.
Because it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, there are fewer and fewer people asking to buy antiques.
Nijin heard that there were a lot of ancient insect corpses, his eyes immediately lit up, but after hearing that there were fakes, he couldn't help but worry.
He didn't have a lot of money saved up, even the ten gold coins he received as a reward still wouldn't necessarily be able to buy a dead insect.
If you encounter fake goods, you will lose everything and may have to beg again.
Asking a few people in the city, Nijin finally selected two reputable places: "Bach Trung Lau and Mai Hoa Cac".
Nijin did not immediately go to the door to ask but found a small inn to rest for the night.
Firstly, he was injured, secondly, he had not slept for many days. He was afraid that if he was not in good shape, he would most likely be blamed.
Next morning.
Nijin stood in front of the main gate of Bach Trung Lau.
Bach Trung Lau and Mai Hoa Cac are both famous for trading all kinds of gems and strange objects in Wukan territory.
These two houses' branches are distributed everywhere and compete constantly.
It is said that the owners of both families are famous people, and even other big countries have branches.
Nijin standing in front of Bach Trung Lau.
I only saw a seven-story high building with an imposing atmosphere, not inferior to the grand mansion of the Marquis's mansion.
Speaking of which, this is just a branch, how fierce will Bach Trung Lau headquarters be?
Nijin didn't think anymore and quickly walked inside.
Immediately, a young girl, dressed in the style of the people from the lowlands, bowed her head in greeting.
"May I ask what this guest wants to buy?"
Nijin also clasped her hands, smiled and said, "I wonder if Bach Trung Lau will sell Jiangsu's body or not?"
"Jiangsu? Please follow me."
The young girl was a bit startled but did not ask Nijin why bought this, so went ahead and led the way.
Nijin's face looked expectant. If Jiangsu's body really existed, then his martial arts practice would definitely be possible.
There were quite a few people passing by buying and selling in Bach Trung tower, Jiangsu also looked inside, there were indeed many strange flowers and insects.
There are also many precious gems and agates displayed around.
Going to a large medicine cabinet, the girl reached out and pulled out a drawer, carefully handing it over.
The young girl placed the small drawer on a nearby table, invited Nijin to sit on the chair, and opened her mouth to speak.
"This is Jiangsu's body. Please take a look and tell me if you like it."
"That much?" Nijin looked into the wooden cabinet, inside there were about a dozen butterfly corpses, some small, some large, uniform in shape.
"This objective person may not know.
Although each Gu is only a single individual, every 10 years they will molt once, and with good luck they will be able to pick up their bodies.
Do you think all the ancient corpses here are flesh and blood?" The girl smiled again and opened her mouth to answer.
"This...! It's true that I'm a bit shallow.
So please allow me to take a look."
Nijin scratched her nose and replied with a smile.
"Please feel free to be objective."
The young girl smiled and raised her hand, signaling Nijin to look at it as she pleased.
She thought silently in her heart.
"This person is too young, his voice doesn't sound like a local person, he's probably a quack who wants to buy gu worm corpses to gain fame."
Nijin looked at the pile of butterfly corpses and couldn't help but blush, sweat pouring out, thinking.
"There are so many, how can you choose? Are they all real or are they all mixed up?"
"May I ask, Miss, are these corpses real?" Nijin boldly asked.
"I don't know, to tell you the truth, sir.
Jiangsu, like the other, were all transformed from the same species that devoured each other and did not have any different identifying characteristics.
They're just different from their own species in that some of them can control fire, some can control water, bend wind, etc." The girl shook her head to answer.
"Is she really that powerful?" Nijin asked somewhat incredulously.
In his opinion, this group are physically strong or perhaps live a little longer.
But through this girl's words, she can actually control fire and wind.
It's really a bit hard to believe, maybe all the legends are true?
"What's the harm? Humans can do it too.
Martial artists can use light energy to fly high, Taoists can use internal force to create fire.
It is not said whether this group of Gu really existed since ancient times or not, but the fact that they control fire and water is something many people have seen."
The girl answered a little impatiently.
Nijin saw that the girl spoke coldly so he didn't ask anymore.
Thinking about it again is not wrong.
Humans can use flying skills. Although they cannot fly like birds, they can still float lightly.
It is not uncommon for first-class masters to have high-flying skills, and standing on tree branches or grass blades is not uncommon.
It is not uncommon for Taoists to exorcise ghosts, catch demons, and draw talismans and charms to often play with fire.
If humans can do it, why can't these Gu worms control fire and water?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, chose one, and left.
Just as he was planning to pick one big one, at that moment a flash of light suddenly flashed.
He silently circulated the spell on the piece of paper, only seeing a few butterfly corpses move slightly.
Nijin was a bit startled and stopped reciting the formula.
Looking up at the girl, luckily she didn't pay attention to him.
Silently exhaling, he asked towards the girl.
"I choose this one! I don't know how much it costs."
Nijin pointed to a rather large corpse and asked.
"Seven needles, can't pay the price."
The young girl turned to look and immediately answered.
"Okay! I'll buy it."
Nijin nodded and bought it.
The young girl smiled brightly like a flower, quickly took a small wooden box, carefully placed the butterfly's body in it, and announced it to Nijin.
Nijin also took money and quickly said goodbye and left.
Not long after Nijin left, the sound of hurried footsteps came from upstairs. An old man ran to ask the young girl.
"Jilin, did someone come here to buy something just now?"
"That's right! He bought Qinghai's body.
He offered money and left."
The girl was skeptical but also politely answered.
"Someone is coming" The old man opened his mouth and called the guard standing outside the door to come in.
"Old Ly, I wonder why you came to me?" The guard asked respectfully.
"You go follow the person who just bought goods here, I will arrange for someone else to take care of your business.
Miss! If there is any movement from him, you must let me know." The old man finished speaking and walked upstairs.
The guard also bowed and left, quickly disappearing.
The young girl still had a confused look on her face, not understanding who that young man was or what he was doing that made Old Ly have to personally find someone to follow him.
