Chapter 1769: True and False Tang Lotus

It didn't take forty-five days!

On the forty-fourth day, the flying boat landed smoothly in a small town at the foot of Divine Dream Mountain.

Divine Dream City!

Saying it was a city, He Pingsheng actually thought it looked like a small town no matter how he looked at it.

Just a small town slightly larger than Wudaokou!

Similar to Wudaokou, there were no merchants in this town that could accommodate divine humans; everyone who wanted to live could open up their own caves in the surrounding mountains as temporary dojos!

The few buildings in the town were all shops!

There were Dragon family shops, Hong family shops, etc.!

But he didn't see the He family and Xia family shops; upon asking, he found out it was because the distance was too far, and the power of the Xia family and He family couldn't reach here!

Not to mention anything else, just on the forty-four-day journey from Wudaokou to this Divine Dream City, there were countless forces like the He family and Xia family.

The families were intricate and complicated, which was imaginable.

However, although this Divine Dream City was not big, there were quite a few people.

He Pingsheng scanned with his spiritual sense; they were all human, and they were all humans in the Divine General Realm.

Bustling, just looking at it, there were over forty thousand people in this small town alone!

Those temporarily living in the mountains around the small town, and those who hadn't returned from digging for herbs in the mountains, all these people added up, he estimated it would be over one hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

It had to be said that transporting guests by boat was also a good job.

Unfortunately, ordinary people couldn't do this job; otherwise, they wouldn't know how they died when they turned back.

"Tang Lotus, anyone want it, three thousand divine gold a stalk... selling it cheaply... three thousand divine gold a stalk..."

After getting off the boat, He Pingsheng took Niu Ding and walked slowly toward the town; he didn't expect that there would be divine humans setting up stalls to sell medicinal herbs on the side of the road.

Out of curiosity, he took a look and found that there were over thirty golden lotus flowers on this stall.

The outside of this lotus flower appeared golden, but the inside was white.

Tang Lotus...

He Pingsheng had an impression; when he killed Luo Qiong before, he obtained a 【Peace-Stabilizing Pill】 pill formula, and the pill formula said that one of the eight materials for the Peace-Stabilizing Pill was Tang Lotus.

And it was a main material.

One stalk was enough for one batch of Peace-Stabilizing Pill.

He calculated, and this price was not high.

"Envious..." Niu Ding looked at the thirty-plus Tang Lotus flowers on the stall with an envious face and said: "One stalk of Tang Lotus can sell for over three thousand divine gold, these thirty-plus stalks, it's a solid one hundred thousand divine gold!"

"Working in the Xia family for nearly a hundred years!"

"Still digging for herbs is fast!"

"As long as you find medicinal herbs, the medicinal herbs here are clustered, it's impossible to have only one stalk!"

"Hey!"

The divine human setting up the stall looked at the two and asked: "Do you two want it? If you want more, we can give you a cheaper price!"

He Pingsheng didn't take it, but asked: "I see quite a few chambers of commerce collecting divine herbs nearby, why not sell them directly to the shops?"

"Nonsense, isn't it?" The divine human said with an unhappy face: "It must be that the shops are too black-hearted and didn't give me a high enough price, otherwise do you think I want to set up a stall?"

"Do you want it or not?"

He Pingsheng shook his head and left.

No rush!

Anyway, he still had quite a few Peace-Stabilizing Pills on him, and he didn't need this thing for the time being.

Wait until he understands everything before talking.

"Go!" He Pingsheng continued to walk forward, asking Niu Ding while walking: "Can no one cultivate this Tang Lotus?"

Niu Ding said: "The eight materials for the Peace-Stabilizing Pill, theoretically speaking, can all be cultivated. However, the growth environments for these things are all different; wanting to find an environment suitable for divine herb growth and conducting large-scale cultivation is relatively difficult!"

"Tang Lotus cannot be cultivated over at Wudaokou, but it might be possible in other families!"

"But... overall, the demand for divine herbs in the Divine Realm is huge, and this thing still can't be satisfied by relying on any one family or two families, so there are Divine Dream Mountain herb diggers!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "So that's how it is!"

Niu Ding said: "For example, the Xia family produces 【Heavenly Gathering Divine Glue】 which fuses materials when refining pills, but the Xia family's divine glue is also extremely limited!"

"In other places, this divine glue might be a scarce item!"

"For example, Divine Dream Mountain, if you can dig up wild divine glue, it is also very valuable; of course, it's impossible to sell for two or three thousand divine gold like this!"

The two chatted while walking.

They took a look at the shops.

Most of the shops here were one-way, meaning they only collected medicinal herbs and didn't sell items.

There were also two shops that didn't collect medicinal herbs but sold some simple pills and the like.

It seemed that these were all the results of negotiations between various forces.

After walking around a large circle, He Pingsheng didn't buy anything, but returned along the road.

Not long after returning, he bumped into a woman wearing a yellow Taoist robe cursing loudly over there: "Liar... this dead liar..."

"Dead liar, may you die a horrible death!"

"Actually lied to me, this is not Tang Lotus at all!"

He Pingsheng became interested instantly and walked a few steps toward that woman.

There were many people surrounding the woman.

"Not Tang Lotus!"

"It's indeed not Tang Lotus!"

"This is Life-Long Lotus; Life-Long Lotus looks very similar to Tang Lotus when it's in the primary stage!"

"Little sister, you were lied to!"

He Pingsheng looked at the ten-plus lotus flowers held in the woman's hands, and his face couldn't help but darken slightly: Good fellow, it's fortunate that I didn't rashly go to buy them.

It turned out that the fellow who sold Tang Lotus just now was a liar.

"What is this Life-Long Lotus again?" He Pingsheng leaned over and asked curiously.

The woman holding the ten-plus Life-Long Lotus flowers turned her head to look at He Pingsheng and said: "Life-Long Lotus is Life-Long Lotus... this thing is useless, but it looks very similar to Tang Lotus in its juvenile stage!"

"I didn't see clearly at first and relaxed my vigilance; seeing it was cheap, I took ten stalks for twenty thousand divine gold, and I believed him!"

"I didn't expect this fellow to be a liar!"

Someone explained: "Life-Long Lotus is not useless, but juvenile Life-Long Lotus is useless!"

"This thing is relatively special; in the juvenile stage, it is a first-tier spirit herb, but it becomes second-tier in the adult stage, and becomes third-tier in the mature stage!"

"First-tier Life-Long Lotus cannot refine anything; even if it grows for over a million years and becomes second-tier, it's useless... it can't be used to refine pills."

"Only those Life-Long Lotus that have grown for over ten million years and reached the third-tier grade have enough value after being picked!"

"Third-tier Life-Long Lotus is powerful; it is said to be a material for an extremely precious third-tier divine pill!"

Hearing that person's explanation, He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "Is this... Life-Long Lotus common in the mountains?"

"Not common!" Someone shook their head: "It should be said to be extremely rare!"

"It's a pity that this fellow probably misread it, so he picked the juvenile Life-Long Lotus!"

"If it could be allowed to grow freely, one stalk would be enough for him to eat and drink without worry for a lifetime after ten million years!"

"Pity, pity..."
