Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

The lights were as small as beans, flickering and bright.

Xiao Lin held a red paper lantern in his right hand. The frame was made of thin bamboo strips and the outside was covered with a layer of red paper.

I think it was made by hand. The technique is unfamiliar but it probably has a rough outline. The thickness of the red paper is uneven, and the paper flowers on it are cut into small pieces. It makes people feel the interest of "flying flowers and rolling snow" for no reason.

A candle was lit inside, and wind rushed in through the circular gap above the lantern, blowing the already weak yellowish light all over the place.

All in all, it is a somewhat ugly red paper lantern.

He held Qi Wu Yue's hand with his left hand and walked through the crowd.

Walking slowly along the way, looking slowly to both sides, Qi Wu Yue looked at the left and then the right, he was so busy that he was overwhelmed.

There are martial arts techniques for sale, such as "Splitting Mountain Palm" and "Stone Breaking Slash", which are excerpts from volumes of books rather than images cast on jade slips.

There are magical instruments for sale, but they are not of high quality, mostly mid- or low-level instruments, and high-level ones are rare to come by.

However, there are many styles and types, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, which are quite common.

Qi Wu Yue even saw some whisks, wooden fish, and dice.

This seems to be a college, right?

If you were on the stage fighting with someone, and suddenly you shouted loudly and took out a wooden fish, and knocked the person on the other side, he would stop hitting you? Or is this a hypnotic device?

Anyone selling talisman paper?

Incomprehensible runes were drawn with cinnabar on the thin light yellow talisman paper. Blood-red lines were intertwined and connected, and each one was so complicated and profound that it gave people a headache.

Attack talismans, defense talismans, earth-walking talismans, water-summoning talismans, dust-cleansing talismans, evil-repelling talismans, peach blossom talismans, wealth-attracting talismans, one-day yellow millet talismans… they were piled up in piles.

It gets even more outrageous later on.

Things like "A talisman for rich women to keep you as a sponsor" and "A talisman for sailing without capsizing" are increasingly deviating from the right path of cultivation.

Qi Wu Yue: What a mess.

Whenever he saw a stall selling medicinal herbs, he would buy any that suited his taste.

The most important thing for an alchemist is to stockpile medicinal materials. The more you earn, the faster you spend them.

Qi Wu Yue moved his nose and smelled something, a sweet and fragrant smell.

They also sell sugar-roasted chestnuts!

In a corner in front, there was a flag fluttering in the wind, with the words "Bee-scented Chestnut" written on it.

Little Butterfly wiped her drool: The students in the academy are really talented, some of them even have inherited skills from their ancestors.

I saw a large iron pot with burning firewood underneath, which made crackling sounds from time to time. The iron pot was filled with black roasted chestnuts and brown chestnuts.

A burly young man with his mouth and nose covered was turning over black stones and chestnuts with a shovel. The man's arms, which were waving the shovel, were exposed, with bulging muscles, and his arms were as strong as the thighs of an ordinary adult.

The black roasted chestnut stone was constantly stir-fried, and then syrup, honey, and a pinch of salt were poured into it...

The chestnuts that are constantly stir-fried are dark brown in color, with three petals. Each one is golden in color and shiny, and the exposed flesh exudes a rich sweet aroma.

Qi Wu Yue and Little Butterfly couldn't walk anymore.

Little Butterfly pulled at the end of her father's hair.

Qi Wu Yue tugged at Xiao Lin’s sleeve.

The man and the butterfly's eyes drifted to the chestnuts that looked crispy, easy to peel, and sweet and delicious.

A quarter of an hour later, there was an oil-skin paper bag in Qi Wu Yue's arms, which contained steaming fragrant chestnuts.

Both the man and the butterfly expressed satisfaction.

Xiao Lin stopped suddenly.

It was a stall run by a tall senior girl with her pigtail tied with a red headband.

The stall was a piece of light-colored animal skin of no more than two square meters, and on top of it was a large piece of red holly covered with thick soil.

The Tongtianhong is extremely fresh, as if it had just been picked.

The soil was still moist, the stems and leaves were extremely tender and green, and water would come out if pinched, while the dense and tiny petals of the red holly were mixed with crystal dew.

Logically speaking, such a large piece of fresh herbal plant with soil still on it would have no problem selling, but many people sighed and lamented because the herbal material itself was too badly damaged.

Since they are not alchemists, they do not have any special techniques for picking herbs. They are afraid that the roots of the herbs will be damaged during the picking process, so they often take the simplest and most brutal method, digging up an entire piece of land directly.

This will not easily damage the plants, and can also maintain the freshness of the medicinal materials to the greatest extent, preventing the loss of medicinal properties.

But the senior student obviously didn't have a deep understanding of the Chinese toad. Although she had deliberately dug deeper and brought up a large piece of soil, she still damaged its roots.

Tongtianhong is different from other medicinal herbs. Its rhizome is two to three times that of ordinary deep-soil medicinal herbs. So even though the senior student pressed down with the shovel, she still broke the rhizome of Tongtianhong completely.

Qi Wuyue was puzzled and said, "It's just an ordinary Tongtianhong, not too old, and its quality is average."

There doesn't seem to be anything surprising.

Xiao Lin curved his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes showing a hint of smile, and said softly, "Look at the little red flower on the edge."

There is a very small flower on the edge of a large patch of dense red cypress, which is very inconspicuous.

Anyone who takes a glance at it would think it is the juvenile stage of the Tongtianhong, a completely smaller version of the Tongtianhong.

But he knew that this was not the appearance of Tongtianhong when it was young.

However, it is recorded in the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants from All Worlds in the inheritance of elixirs that there is a kind of flower that looks exactly like Tongtianhong during a certain period of time.

Qi Wu Yue stared at the Mini Tongtianhong with his silver eyes for a long time, but could not see anything unusual.

He lowered his voice, put his head close to Xiao Lin and said, "What is that? I don't know. Tell me in a low voice."

Xiao Lin lowered his head, his lips curled up slightly, leaned over to Qi Wu Yue's ear, and whispered: "Time and Space Flower. It changes color every 70 years. It has the ability to change time and break through space."

The warm breath unreservedly hit Qi Wu Yue's already sensitive ears, and the delicate and soft ears were stained with a thin layer of powder, and the small earlobes were as red as red beans, as red as rouge.

Xiao Lin's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't resist the urge to bite it.

He stood up slowly, his eyes were calm and almost cold, except for a dark color in his eyes.

Qi Wu Yue didn't care. He raised his slightly cold hand and rubbed the ear on that side, then asked, "Is it worth money?"

Xiao Lin said: "It is valuable. If you can refine the Sky Breaking Pill, it will be a very valuable life-saving trump card."

He had never seen the Time and Space Flower, not even in the encyclopedia of spiritual plants and poisonous herbs in the library.

There are only a few short lines of text in "Yi Men Xian Lu·Spiritual Medicine Chapter·Exotic Flowers and Plants".

The time-space flower changes color every seventy years, and at the same time, its spatial ability will cause its own position to change.

Moreover, its appearance is ordinary and it can blend perfectly into other spiritual plants, making people unable to recognize it.

The time-space flower in its red period can easily be mistaken for a young Tongtianhong. If he had not seen the appearance of the young Tongtianhong, he would probably have been fooled today.
