Chapter 93: Meeting Shuiyue Ning Again
The Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill Exchange Office established by the Shui Family in Jingzhou is located in a small town ten miles outside Qingyou Valley. The monks of the Shui Family have booked a large mansion here, and there are two late-level monks in the Foundation Establishment stage standing at the door to intimidate those who want to make trouble or have ill intentions.
Jiang Chen did not go into the courtyard first, but stood outside and observed.
I found that there were many monks coming and going in here, but they all had one common feature. They were all wearing black clothes and a grimace mask, completely covering their heads and faces. It seemed that they were afraid that others would remember their appearance.
Such an action is normal. The monks who enter are exchanged for treasures. Although other reward items can be purchased in the market in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are inevitably no jealous people who come outside the town to kill and grab treasures. The Shui family only guarantees the safety of the monks who enter to exchange for, but they don’t care about what happens after they come out.
Jiang Chen then bought such a outfit in a clothing store in the town, and then mixed up with the monks and walked towards the mansion.
However, before he could reach the door, a monk with the same qualities came to him and encouraged him, "Fellow Daoist, you are also going to exchange for treasures? I wonder if there is an extra ice jade snake demon pill for sale? I can buy one of the fifty spirit stones!"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils contracted slightly. Unexpectedly, the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill had risen to such a high level. He immediately realized that since all cultivators came out to purchase the Flower Spirit Stone, it means that the treasures that the Shui family exchanged were of good quality, which aroused the interest of many cultivators and was willing to purchase the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill.
"Sorry, my own Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill is not enough, so I don't want to sell it!" Jiang Chen only had a demon pill of the Ice Jade Snake King in his hand, so it was naturally impossible to sell it to him.
The cultivator was obviously a little disappointed, but he said unwillingly: "Depending on your cultivation level, you may be able to obtain twenty or thirty demon pills. This demon pill is difficult to change into the initial magic weapon. It is better to be more cost-effective to change the spirit stones."
"Okay! Please give in, I'm going to borrow the way! If you spend your time on me, it's better to find someone else with more demon pills!" Jiang Chen said impatiently.
The monk was helpless. Under the surveillance of the Shui family monks, he did not dare to rob him openly and secretly, so he had to make way out in disappointment.
Jiang Chen flashed, passed by him and entered the mansion.
The monk looked at Jiang Chen's back and spat hard on the ground and said, "Damn, this kid must have not hunted a few ice jade snakes, and he insisted on slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat, saying he didn't want to sell..."
After Jiang Chen entered the mansion, he soon arrived at a hall led by a monk from the Shui family. There were a row of counters in the hall, surrounded by many monks in front of the counter, and the team was almost at the door.
Today is exactly the last day when Qingyou Valley opens, and most monks leave the valley after this day. Therefore, the most people come to exchange it.
Jiang Chen was also at the end of the line. The monks in the hall were lined up and chatting, and the content was basically related to the exchanged items.
The monks from the Shui family sent a jade slip to each cultivator who lined up, which contained a catalog of things that could be exchanged for the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill.
Jiang Chen took a quick look and found that there were quite a lot of things in it, ranging from low-level magic weapons to foundation-building pills. Of course, the price varies greatly. The cheapest low-level magic weapons can be exchanged for two ice jade snake demon pills. The most expensive one is foundation-building pills, which actually requires a thousand demon pills.
Behind each redeemable item is marked with the current inventory quantity. Two of the more popular sword magic weapons have been redeemed, and only three of the Foundation Establishment Pills are left.
However, the jade slip does not say how to exchange the demon pill of the Ice Jade Snake King.
"It seems that I can only ask in person when the queue is up!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
After about half an hour, Jiang Chen finally arrived.
Sitting behind the counter was a bald old man with two long beards under his jaw and wearing a green cloth robe. He did not hide his cultivation, and it was obvious that he was a monk in the early stage of foundation building at a glance.
The bald old man said lazily: "Boy, how many ice jade snake demon pills have you got? What do you want to exchange for?"
"After senior, there is only one!" Jiang Chen answered honestly.
"What?" The bald old man suddenly angrily opened his eyes and said furiously: "Are you playing tricks on me? In exchange for the lowest level magic weapon, you also need two Ice Jade Snake Demon Pills. You only have one and ran to exchange it..."
The monks behind Jiang Chen were also talking about it.
"This kid is too useless. He actually hunted only one ice jade snake?"
"Yes! Judging from his cultivation level, he is also at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. How could he gain so little?"
"If there is only one demon pill, he might as well sell it in the town, so that he can get some spirit stones!"
Some of them said directly: "Boy, you just retreat. You can't exchange a demon pill. Let the people behind come up and exchange it!"
At this moment, a clear and pleasant woman's voice appeared: "Shut up! If you want to exchange for the treasures of my Shui family, just queue up honestly, don't make a loud noise!"
After hearing this sound, the monks in the hall looked at him and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old in a black velvet dress walking from behind the counter. She was tall and convex.
Everyone couldn't help but lit up when they saw this woman. Although they could guess that she was most likely a beauty after hearing the sound, they didn't expect that her appearance was so beautiful that it made people breathe rapidly.
I saw her eyebrows like crescent moon, her eyes like autumn water, her lips and nose, and her skin was white and tender. Her beautiful facial features were like the tender yellow stamens that bloomed, revealing a delicate fragrance in her youth. Although her eyebrows were slightly frowning and looked angry, she revealed a different style, which made people reluctant to take their eyes off her face after seeing them.
Her cultivation is even more unfathomable, and no monks present to exchange her cultivation can see her cultivation.
Jiang Chen looked at the girl, but the look of the cultivator's eyes was not as dazzling as the eyes of the monks present. He was just a little surprised, because from his voice, he could already hear that the girl was the girl in black who exchanged Zhuyan Wan with him at the black market auction that day.
On that day, he felt that this woman should be a beauty, but he didn't expect that after seeing her true face, her appearance was even more unexpected.
When the bald old man saw the girl appear, he quickly got up and bowed, "Hello Miss Second!"
"Miss Second? It turns out that it is Shui Yuening, the second lady of the Shui family. No wonder it is so beautiful."
"I heard that the second lady of the Shui family was only eighteen years old and was in the early stage of foundation building. Even in the Shui family, the spiritual root qualifications are one of the most outstanding people in the younger generation!"
Although the monks did not dare to speak loudly, the low-key discussion was still going on intermittently.
Jiang Chen stared at Shui Yuening, then withdrew his gaze and asked softly at the bald old man: "Senior, what if my demon pill is the demon pill of the Ice Jade Snake King? It should be able to be exchanged, right?"
"Ice Jade Snake King?" After hearing this, the bald old man suddenly looked shocked and asked with disbelief: "You are not kidding, are you? Ice Jade Snake King is a fourth-level monster, equivalent to a monk in the early stage of foundation building. Can you hunt alone?"
"Of course I didn't kill alone!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you can change something."
At this time, Shui Yuening, who was standing behind the bald old man, heard Jiang Chen's words, looked at him with pretty eyes, thinking that the boy's voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. However, she didn't recall it for a while, but she became very interested in the Ice Jade Snake King Demon Pill that Jiang Chen said.
"Fellow Taoist, if you really have the Ice Jade Snake King Demon Pill, I can take the initiative and exchange it for you two Foundation Building Pills!" Shui Yuening looked at Panpan with pretty eyes, and said with expectation in her eyes.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the demon pill of the Ice Jade Snake King would be so valuable.
He immediately smiled slightly, took out a jade box from the storage bag and handed it to Shui Yuening.
Shui Yuening stretched out her white and tender jade hand, opened the lid of the jade box and saw her pretty face immediately showed ecstasy. Then she blurted out: "It's really the Ice Jade Snake King Demon Pill... OK! Change it to him!"
The bald old man nodded quickly and handed a small porcelain bottle to Jiang Chen as he spoke.
Jiang Chen opened it and saw that it was the pill that was exactly the same as the foundation-building pill he had obtained before. He was overjoyed and hurriedly put it in the storage bag.
The monks standing behind him and watching this scene all looked surprised and unbelievable.
"What? Two Foundation Building Pills? Can this Ice Jade Snake King's demon pill be exchanged for such a good thing?"
"No! This kid can actually kill the Ice Jade Snake King? You're so lucky!"
"You didn't hear him say that it wasn't a single person who killed him. I guess it was a dozen people with him who took action together!"
"Well! He should be just a person to exchange!"
All of these monks showed envy and jealous expressions, and a few of them were sarcastic before, and their faces were even more embarrassed. Fortunately, they were all wearing masks and could not see that their faces changed.
Several people were already secretly contacting each other, signaling that after Jiang Chen went out, they would follow him and kill someone and grab the treasure.
"Fellow Taoist, come in with me! I have something to tell you!" Shui Yuening's eyes circulated and she said with a lingering voice.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would not want to kill him and take back these two foundation-building pills.
But I expected that even if Shui Yuening wanted to be unfavorable to him, she would not call herself away in front of so many people.
So, after hesitating for a while, Jiang Chen carefully followed Shui Yuening forward.
