There were 204 spirit herbs in total, and they were only worth 4,290 gold. It was not enough to pay 6,300 gold.
Hua Kai stored all the spirit herbs in the Alchemy Room, regardless of whether they were useful or not. The effects of the herbs stored here would never weaken.
When Tie Fa saw that Hua Kai had taken away all the spirit herbs and offered a higher price than he had expected, he even wondered if he should save up all the spirit herbs he encountered in the future and give them to Hua Kai in exchange for spirit herbs. That way, the effects would be better and the side effects would be less.
"That's all the spirit herbs we have. Our tribe also has some strange stones. Go take a look.
I didn't expect Hua Jiazhu to be so good at reading herbs at such a young age. No wonder he could become the head of the Hua family. "
Tie Fa was truly impressed. He had lived in the grasslands for more than 70 years, but he could not tell the value of all the spirit herbs at first glance.
"They are all basic materials. If the Erdos Tribe has any strange stones, the Hua family will also buy them." Hua Kai knew that Tie Fa was treating him as a disciple of an alchemist.
Normally, alchemists would train their disciples from a young age. They would start from knowing the spirit herbs and controlling the fire in the cauldron.
Hua Kai did not argue. He followed Tie Fa to a corner of the Alchemy Room. Tie Fa removed the animal skin on the ground and revealed a wooden board. After taking out the board, Hua Kai saw that there was a fixed wooden box inside.
Hua Kai thought that the box contained the demon pill. He did not expect Tie Fa to take out a key and open it to reveal a jade box. Tie Fa carefully opened the jade box. Hua Kai did not recognize the words around the box. The words could move by themselves.
Tie Fa moved the words here and there. All the words neatly moved to the sides of the jade box. So the grasslands also had a password box. This was much safer than a normal wooden box.
When Hua Kai opened the jade box, he felt a strong spiritual energy coming from it. He used his [Eyes of Truth] to check it out.
Demon Pill: Contains a large amount of demon energy. After a spirit beast consumes it, it has a chance of improving its bloodline.
It could be used to refine weapons or pills.
There was no doubt that this was a real Demon Core. Moreover, Hua Kai found that the energy fluctuation in this Demon Core was unusually strong. It was from a middle-level demonic beast. If it was in a big country in the Central Plains, it would not be difficult to change a city.
"Patriarch Tie Fa, you should know the value of this Yao Core. If it was in the hands of a first rank family in the Central Plains, it would be a priceless treasure. If you give it to me, I can at most give you a Dan that can help you break through to the Great Completion of the Mortal Realm and some ordinary Dan. Think carefully," Hua Kai said.
"As long as you can send me a pill that will allow me to break through to the Xiantian stage within a month, this' Monster Core 'will be yours.
To the Erdos Tribe, a Yao Core is far less valuable than a Xiantian Realm warrior. The Crow Stallion Tribe has become more and more powerful in the past few years. If I can't make a breakthrough soon, the Erdos Tribe will be in great danger. "
After seeing the Yao Dan, Tie Fa put the Yao Dan back into the jade box and ordered his men to come to the storage room of wondrous stones.
The Erdos Tribe's storage room was a messy tent. There were all kinds of stones inside, and the entire tent was filled to the brim.
"Usually, no one comes here. A few years ago, we tried our luck by bringing these stones to the Han Tribe. For many years, no one paid us any attention. Just like that, we have more and more stones.
See if there's anything you need. "Tie Fa pointed at the mountain of stones and said.
"Call a few people over!
I said keep the useful ones and throw the rest away! "Hua Kai could not pick so many stones.
Tie Fa called a few of his trusted men over. Hua Kai checked them and found that they were all at the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. From their clothes, they should be collateral members of the tribe.
Hua Kai ordered everyone to move the stones out of the tent one by one. These stones were of different sizes and colors. They were all thrown outside the tent. Hua Kai only kept one out of dozens of stones. Sometimes, there were hundreds of stones without a single piece of metal. After working for more than two hours, thousands of stones were sorted out. Among them, there were only 33 pieces of metal that could be used to forge weapons.
"These 33 pieces are all valuable metals. Meteorites are the most common.
500 grams of Meteorite Iron costs 5 gold. I'll take these 11 pieces … about 320 grams. That's 1600 gold in total.
This piece is Obsidian Magical Gold. It's only about 5 kilograms. Let's call it 500 gold. I'll give you 90 gold later. "
Hua Kai waited until all the stones were collected. He only took out 11 pieces of Meteorite Iron and one piece of Obsidian Magical Gold to make up for the difference of 2000 gold.
He helped Chief Tie Fa pick out all the useful wondrous stones to express the Hua Family's attitude.
With this ability, I can earn money anywhere. The Hua family is not trying to climb up the social ladder by forming an alliance with the Ordos Tribe.
"Since Hua Jiazhu said that these stones are worthless, you guys can throw them out!
If you think these stones are beautiful, you can keep a few for your family.
Hua Jiazhu … I won't say anything else. If you treat me sincerely, the Ordos Tribe will always be a friend of the Hua family. I'll send the 10 Black Stallion Tribe stones to your caravan in the afternoon. I don't know when you will leave for the Qi … "
Selling 12 stones was enough to repay the Hua family. Tie Fa originally thought that he would have to sell some horses to make up for the difference.
Hua Kai helped him pick out all the valuable stones. These stones would be the tribe's property in the future. At the very least, Hua Kai would accept them. In the future, he would not have to worry about the tribe not having enough money to pay for Hua Kai's pills.
After rejecting Tie Fa's invitation for lunch, Hua Kai returned to the caravan. He could not hide the joy on his face. With these spiritual herbs, the Hua family would be able to make more pills when they returned to the Qi.
As for the Meteorite Iron, as long as the Hua family had enough luck, they could make all kinds of weapons. This would greatly increase the Hua family's combat power.
Hua Kai returned to the caravan and told his grandpa to get everyone ready to leave. Hua Xing looked at the stones and spiritual herbs that Hua Kai brought back. He knew that the Hua family's trip to the Hun Tribe had been successful.
"I promised to make a breakthrough pill for Chief Tie Fa. In the afternoon, the Erdos Tribe will send 10 Dark Horse over. This is just to thank us. After the pill is made, there will be even more rewards.
I plan to go to the new city of Zhao with Fifth Uncle tomorrow. It's about 3,000 miles away from there. We should be able to buy the herbs we need there. "
The new city of Zhao was one of the largest cities in the Central Plains. It was located at the northern border of Zhao and bordered Linhu. If Hua Kai wanted to gather all the ingredients for the pill, going to the new city of Zhao was the best choice.
Hua Kai told his grandpa about his idea and told him to send everyone away. Then, he put all the Meteorite Iron and spiritual herbs into his spatial pocket in front of his grandpa.
"You want to go to Zhao?
That won't do. If you want to go, I'll go. You write down the names and shapes of the herbs on the sheepskin. I'll ride Lie Yan and be back in 10 days at the latest, "Hua Xing said hurriedly.
"I have a spatial pocket. Maybe I can find some scraps in Zhao. It's also convenient to put everything in the spatial pocket. After we leave the Erdos Tribe tomorrow, I'll put the remaining goods in the carriage. You go north and learn more about the Hun Tribe. It'll be easier for us to form an alliance with the Erdos Tribe in the future," Hua Kai persuaded his grandpa.
However, his grandpa didn't agree. He called the Fifth Uncle over. The Fifth Uncle was also determined not to let Hua Kai take the risk. Just like that, Hua Kai's dream of going to Zhao was shattered.
After lunch, Hua Jia Caravan began to pack his things and prepare to leave. At this time, Chaganbala brought a few servants with ten black horses to Hua Jia Caravan. There were big and small horses, and some of them looked like they were only a year old.
"Hua Jiazhu, these are the ten black horses my father asked me to send over. They're all here. Take a look," Chaganbala said with a face full of pride.
These black horses were seized from the Black Stallion Tribe after so many years of fighting. Now, the entire Erdos Tribe only had 40 of them.
The black stallion was known as one of the eight great horse breeds of the grassland. As long as it was cultivated well, it would become a BMW when it matured. All the famous horses in the world belonged to the eight great horse breeds. Generally, only the big families would raise horses of this quality.
The eight great horses are indeed worthy of their reputation. Please pass on a message to Chief Tie Fa. Hua Jia Caravan will leave early tomorrow morning and will be back in a month, "Hua Kai said.
"Hua Jiazhu, my father also asked you not to forget about the air-dried spiritual cattle. The Erdos Tribe is willing to give one to their closest friend," Chaganbala said.
An air-dried spiritual cattle had at least four thousand pounds of meat. It was worth more than four thousand gold in Qi. If one wanted to buy it fairly, they couldn't buy it without at least fifteen thousand gold. The Erdos Tribe was willing to give one to the Hua family. It showed their sincerity.
Hua Kai only just remembered that he was so focused on the spiritual herbs and strange stones that he forgot to save money to buy the air-dried spiritual cattle.
"No hurry. Let's wait until we come back. When the time comes, the Hua family will definitely give us a gift," Hua Kai said.
Black Stallion: Fourth Grade (56%)
Physique: 35
Speed: 38
Spirituality: 42
Characteristics: Can travel a thousand miles in a day, Protect Master
Among the ten Black Stallions, six of them were adults. Four of them were BMW grade, and this was the highest grade stallion.
There were also two young horses that were only two years old. The other two were only one year old. They were not even as tall as a human when they stood up, but they were different from other ordinary horses.
When the Hua Jia Caravan saw the ten black Black Stallions, they couldn't help but gather around to take a look. All the traveling merchants knew about horses, and all of them liked horses.
Grandpa chased away all the people who came forward to touch the horses. He arranged for people to be responsible for the feeding and training of the ten Black Stallions.
In the afternoon, Hua Kai's caravan bought hundreds of sheep from the Erdos Tribe. This was what they needed to eat during the next few days. They also sold two carts of refined materials. With the Black Stallions, the caravan needed more refined materials.
Early in the morning of June 8th, Hua Jia Caravan finished all the preparations. The caravan slowly left the Erdos Tribe.
A group of Erdos Tribe cavalrymen escorted them 20 miles away from the tribe before returning. Hua Kai instructed his grandpa and Fifth Uncle in front of the caravan.
"There are four elixirs in total. This Golden Crow Vine is the main ingredient for refining the Breaking Wall Pill. It's best if you can buy it. If you can't buy the Black Heavenly Hemp and Jade Bone Fruit, you must buy them. The Bright Flame Blood Heart Ganoderma is another type of elixir. It's best if you can buy it.
In addition, there are 97 ordinary herbs that should be easy to buy.
These are four Elixir Of Spring. They should be able to sell for more than 700 gold coins. Here are 5 gold coins for your travel expenses … If you can't reach the new city of Zhao, return to the caravan as soon as possible. "
Hua Kai looked at his grandpa and Fifth Uncle. Each of them had two BMW's. Other than a day's worth of food and water, the horses only had some ordinary soybeans to replenish their energy.
"Okay, Kai 'er, don't worry!
I walked the road to Zhao when I was young. With your Fifth Uncle's and my strength, if anyone dares to rob us on the road, we will teach them a lesson.
You just follow this stream. When you come back, we will follow the marks to find you. "Hua Xing patted his chest and said.
"If you can't find us in 20 days, go back to the Erdos Tribe. I will leave someone here to wait for you." Hua Kai instructed his grandpa.
Originally, Fifth Uncle wanted to go alone. With his Fifth Uncle, even a Higher Heaven Realm warrior couldn't stop him. When he was at the first level of the Qi Transformation Realm, he dared to take this delicate little girl to survive in the wild in the winter from Linzi City to Fort Wah Ka. They traveled more than 200 miles from Linzi City to Fort Wah Ka.
However, Hua Kai wasn't familiar with the grassland's roads and had never been to Zhao. In the Hua Jia Caravan, only Hua Xing and Wei Dangtou knew the road to Zhao. After thinking for a long time, he decided to let his grandpa and Fifth Uncle go to Zhao's new city.
Hua Xing and Hua Zichen ran all the way south. They didn't stop to rest when they came across tribes. The BMW's pace was very fast. In an hour, they ran for 100 miles. When they felt that the horses were sweating, they gradually transferred their True Qi to the horses.
The most important part of the coordination between a rider and a horse was how to use Zhen Qi to increase the horse's endurance and burst of power. Many horses had been ridden by a Qi Realm warrior for a long time, so they slowly broke through to become divine horses. Transferring Zhen Qi to a horse could not only refine the horse, but also improve the coordination between rider and horse.
After another hour of riding, the two passed by the Urate tribe. A group of cavalry saw the two and wanted to stop and ask questions. Hua Xing and Hua Zichen ignored them completely. The two increased the amount of True Qi transferred to the horses. The horses suddenly started to accelerate. Only then did the cavalry of the Urate tribe realize that the two were Qi Realm warriors. They didn't dare to chase after them. Qi Realm warriors were the strongest in their tribe. Even if they could kill all of their people, their tribe wouldn't dare to offend them.
After passing by the Urate tribe, Hua Xing and Hua Zichen got off their horses. They stopped to rest for a while, then changed to another BMW and continued their journey.
Along the way, when the important tribes saw that the two BMW were Qi Realm warriors, no one dared to stop them. Qi Realm warriors could basically do whatever they wanted on the grassland.
By noon, the two had arrived at the Huhan tribe, which was 560 miles away. Hua Xing's face was a little pale. He only had a grade B aptitude, so his True Qi didn't recover as fast as his youngest son.
The Huhan tribe was still bustling with activity. The Han family of Guang County and seven other caravans were still here. The market was full of all kinds of businesses. Hua Xing and Hua Zichen found a restaurant. After lunch, they asked the owner to feed their horses. It was 4 pm when the sun was setting in the west. Only then did the two get on their horses and continue their journey.
After passing by the Huhan tribe, the two didn't take the road they came from. They started to head towards the southwest. Not long after, they came across a desert. After crossing the desert, the number of horse bandits increased again.
Hua Xing and Hua Zichen killed dozens of horse bandits along the way. However, there were still horse bandits rushing towards them. They waited until the sun had set before entering the north-central region of the Linhu Grassland. They entered a middle-sized tribe to rest. It was 1100 miles away from the Erdos tribe.
