Chapter 558: Healing Berries

Roar!

Fang Xing roared, and the herbalist was so scared that the sickle in his hand fell to the ground.

He pounced, pressed the herbalist down, and carried him away.

"This..."

The other herbalist with a back injury had a stunned expression.

Originally, he had discovered that old mountain ginseng first, but was backstabbed by his companion, feeling that he would die here today.

But he didn't expect to encounter a mountain lord who carried that person away?

"Thank you, Mountain Lord Grandpa, thank you, Mountain Lord Grandpa!"

The herbalist knelt down towards the direction Fang Xing left.

In the folk legends around here, the mountain lord has the ability to 'punish evil.'

Swish!

Not long after, footsteps came.

The herbalist looked and saw a youth wearing animal skins, and shouted hurriedly: "Help! Help!"

"What... happened to you?"

Fang Xing leaned over, looking curious.

"Alas, I met the wrong person... Is this little brother a mountain dweller? Be careful, there is a mountain lord nearby..."

The herbalist hurriedly told him what had happened.

"So that's it... That mountain lord is fair and just, only eating evil people, so he shouldn't eat me... Do you have salt on you? I have medicine for treatment, I can trade with you."

Fang Xing opened his mouth.

"Yes, yes."

The herbalist was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a small bag of salt from his bosom.

Fang Xing took it and saw that the salt was black and yellow; without filtering and refining, it clearly couldn't be eaten.

He didn't care, and handed over a string of berries: "These are spirit fruits, eat them..."

The herbalist was clearly suspicious, but there was no other way, so he threw a purple berry into his mouth.

Strangely, after eating just one, the bleeding on his back slowed down significantly.

After eating a few more, the blood finally stopped flowing.

'Hmm, it seems this type of purple berry is most suitable for making into wound medicine...'

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing thought secretly.

He was just using this injured herbalist to do an experiment.

Many herbal plants in nature are natural medicinal materials with hemostatic and therapeutic effects.

He found a type of purple berry, used the 'Plant Growth' talent to ripen it, and then injected Vegetation Essence Qi to get a batch of 'Healing Berries.'

Although these berries have defects such as a short shelf life and can only treat minor injuries, the key is that they don't cost money...

'And, eating a few more at once, the effect is still pretty good, at least his life was saved...'

'Can be taken out as a flagship product.'

Since Fang Xing decided to go to the casual cultivator market, he definitely had to prepare some goods.

However, those related to the Blood Shadow Sect definitely couldn't be taken out.

Just right, he could disguise himself as an excellent spirit planter, ensuring no connection with the Blood Shadow Sect.

"Thank you for saving me, little brother!"

The herbalist knew his life was saved, his face pale, struggling to thank him.

"Hmm, by the way, where is this? Which is the nearest city?"

Fang Xing asked a few questions casually, then immediately disappeared into the jungle.

"This mountain youth... how come he doesn't even know where he is? No, is he really a mountain dweller?"

Thinking of the fruit he took out that stopped the bleeding immediately after eating, the herbalist's eyes widened, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "So it's Mountain God Grandpa... Thank you, Mountain God Grandpa, for saving me."

Fang Xing left, naturally to interrogate the other herbalist.

That herbalist had long been scared out of his wits, especially after seeing Fang Xing transform from a tiger into a human, and answered every question.

And the answers of the two were the same.

If there were discrepancies or errors in the answers, Fang Xing would have to take ruthless action and kill both herbalists together.

"You backstabbed someone, your character is truly unbearable, so I sentence you to death."

After the interrogation, he patted casually, and the herbalist died with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

At this time, Fang Xing looked at the attribute bar:

【After multiple attempts, you developed 'Healing Berries' from 'Plant Growth'! 】

"It's a pity that killing creatures doesn't bring experience."

Fang Xing recalled the information he had obtained before while walking away:

The nearest city here is 'Shield Cloud City,' under the jurisdiction of the 'Flying Immortal Palace.'

"I don't even know how far I ran, but now it seems I've run out of the Blood Shadow Sect's sphere of influence?"

And, he would soon be far away from here, so he chose to treat the injured herbalist.

Presumably, before long, the legends of the 'Mountain Lord' and 'Mountain God' would begin to spread here.

Cloud Coming Market.

This market is located at the junction of the Corpse-Driving Sect, Green Wood Ridge, and Flying Sword Sect, and is considered a place where no one cares, gathering many casual cultivators.

And because it is located on a main road, many firms have opened warehouses here, and business is very prosperous every day.

This day.

A youth in animal skins walked slowly, glanced at the most basic formation around the market, and walked into the market gate.

"No fighting in the market!"

"Cash and goods cleared!"

The cultivator patrolling at the gate warned, and then watched Fang Xing walk into the market.

"Hmm, it has the feel of a cultivation market..."

Fang Xing looked at the casual cultivators setting up stalls on the side of the road.

Before coming, he had already found out about many situations in the Cloud Coming Market. This market is free to enter and exit, but if you want to set up a stall, you have to pay a stall fee, one rune coin a day!

Without rune coins, you can only use other spirit objects to offset it.

He used a fifty-year-old yellow essence as collateral and asked the market manager for a yellow tablecloth, which also had a few crooked symbols on it.

This was his stall.

Fang Xing opened the tablecloth and laid out the herbs he had occasionally obtained.

Of course, the most numerous were the 'Healing Berries'!

"How do you sell these berries?"

Not long after, a few curious casual cultivators gathered around, looking at the strings of purple berries.

"Healing Berries, eat one to treat wounds... one rune coin per berry!"

Fang Xing opened his mouth.

"One rune coin per berry?"

The inquiring casual cultivator frowned: "Then what about this ninety-year-old mountain ginseng?"

"This is not ninety years, but a genuine hundred-year-old mountain ginseng..." Fang Xing shook his head, seeing the other party's intention to suppress the price: "I won't sell it for less than ten rune coins..."

"So expensive."

The casual cultivator who asked the price shook his head and turned to leave.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, sitting slowly.

Beside him, an old man who was also setting up a stall glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze. He was wearing a gray-yellow hemp robe, touched the wine gourd at his waist, and took a sip.

Fang Xing smiled. Seeing this old man, he didn't know why he thought of Daoist Luo Yunzhen.

After all, both were wine lovers.

It's a pity that the other party had already been hit by the Heavenly Demon Transformation and died.

'Dao Venerable fallen, and there are Dao Court, Demon Venerable, Demon Venerable... write them down in the small notebook first, and solve them one by one in the future.'

Fang Xing thought secretly.

"Heh heh... little brother, do you like the old man's wine?"

The old man poured a mouthful of the monkey wine in the gourd, then satisfiedly let out a long breath, touched his goat beard, and cleaned up the wine spilled on it.

After doing all this, he boasted: "This is a gourd of 'Monkey Wine' that the old man spent a lot of effort to get. The spirit monkeys in the mountains are best at collecting hundreds of fruits, and what they brew is monkey wine... If it were put out for sale, the old man wouldn't even lift his eyelids for less than five rune coins a gourd..."

"Old gentleman is amazing."

Fang Xing answered very perfunctorily: "May I ask your surname?"

"No surname, surname Lu, you can just call me Old Man Lu..."

Old Man Lu glanced: "Little brother's herbs on the stall, could it be that you planted them yourself?"

"Exactly..."

Fang Xing nodded: "In my family learning, I have dabbled in planting..."

"So it's still a cultivation family, truly disrespectful, disrespectful..."

Old Man Lu immediately became three points more solemn and even specially bowed.

Although he knew that those who could come here were basically casual cultivators, casual cultivators and casual cultivators were definitely different.

Having a hand in spirit planting skills and possibly family support, this was more rooted than ordinary casual cultivators.

"Forgive the old man for speaking bluntly, your other herbs are fine, but these 'Healing Berries'... never heard of them, other fellow Daoists may not be willing to buy."

Old Man Lu said.

"My berries take effect immediately after eating, and can be taken multiple times..."

Fang Xing was a bit red-faced: "This is the secret of my family. If you don't believe me, buy one and try it!"

"Alright, the old man will buy one."

Old Man Lu smiled and handed over a yellow rune coin.

Fang Xing took it and found that the rune coin was very light, and it should be folded from a special rune paper.

Inside the rune paper, a trace of magic power was also stored.

Being able to serve as a general equivalent in the cultivation world must have its special features.

'This rune paper seems to be completely usable for practicing 'Paper-Folding Secret Technique.' Although the effect might be worse than blood paper, it's better than using ordinary paper...'

'And, it seems to have injected a trace of pure magic power, although it cannot be used to improve cultivation, it can be used to make up for consumption, drive formations, etc...'

'Sure enough, the general equivalent in the cultivation world must also have a certain value?'

Fang Xing just glanced at it and saw through the details of the rune coin. Seeing Old Man Lu holding a purple berry and observing it carefully, he couldn't help but smile: "My healing berries have good curative effects, but remember, don't crush or rot them... If they are left for a long time and the fruit rots, then there will be no effect."

"Hmm."

Old Man Lu nodded absentmindedly, suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom, and slashed a bloodstain on the back of his hand.

Then, he ate the healing berry and watched the wound on his hand stop bleeding and recover quickly... finally leaving only a white mark.

"Good stuff... no pill poison, and it takes effect immediately, it's just a pity that it's difficult to store for a long time, otherwise it might be comparable to those high-level healing spirit pills."

Old Man Lu sighed.

"Heh heh, if it could really be stored for a long time, how could those big shots above sit still? We'll just get some low-end goods and earn some hard-earned money that others don't look down on..."

Fang Xing chuckled.

"You kid, you have insight... could it be that you set up a stall next to the old man on purpose?"

Old Man Lu asked suspiciously. ===== CHAPTER 559 =====
