Chapter 18 Strengthening Potion

　　The food street was crowded with people, mixed with fish and dragons, and the environment of the toilet was very harsh and smelly. 　　Li Yao pinched his nose and opened a squatting pit cubicle, and sure enough, behind the door of the cubicle, he found dozens of messages densely packed. 　　"Are you lonely, do you long for it, is the long night sleep alone? Hurry up and contact the Spirit Crane Transmission number 3877134, the devil's door demon girl, the Buddha's holy woman, the beautiful female sword cultivator ...... dozens of good people for you to choose, long nights are no longer difficult!" 　　"Specializing in the sale of a variety of second-hand high-grade shuttle car, car condition first-class, selling price is low, absolutely no accident car, spirit crane pass book number 893764." 　　"7734982, hundreds of retired special forces, more than a dozen Qi refining stage cultivators, specializing in helping you solve any 'trouble'!" The word trouble was written in red pen, with a skull drawn behind it in a fanciful manner. 　　Li Yao searched all the way through at a glance and quickly found the information he needed. 　　"Specializing in all kinds of strengthening potions, cheap, stable potency, small side effects, scan the spirit talisman to view the details." 　　Behind this piece of information, there was a spirit talisman printed that was made up of silver filaments, complicated and arcane, intricate and complex. 　　Li Yao took out a miniature portable crystal brain from his pocket and activated the scanning function, a blue light swept through the talisman, and a page popped up in the crystal brain's light screen, but it was a post from the local forum of Fuego City, the "free exchange area". 　　This post listed hundreds of different strengthening potions, and detailed information on prices, effects, side effects, and methods of taking them. 　　"Strengthening potion" was just a general term, basically, every sect and even every cultivator with a little bit of knowledge in pill refining would try to make their own strengthening potion. 　　Depending on the raw materials and refining method, each type of strengthening potion had different effects. 　　Some could enhance the development of spiritual roots and strengthen the body; some could instantly burn the life and enhance the combat power; some could nourish the cells, maintain the activity and prolong the life; and some could revitalize the manhood and make him invincible to all women at night. 　　After hundreds of years of development, the major sects have introduced tens of thousands of relatively safe, stable and effective strengthening potions, but the selling price is very high, and the general civilian class simply can't afford to consume it for a long period of time. 　　This was an incomparably huge market, so naturally, there were people who wanted to imitate the strengthening potions. 　　After hundreds of years of constant testing, the first imitation strengthening potion finally appeared in a small town called "Gnarled Dragon Cottage" on the southern border of the Federation. 　　This is a matter of cutting off people's money, the imitators do not dare to make a name for themselves on the potion, and simply labeled it as "Shanzhai Pai's" product! 　　With the continuous expansion of the Dragon Walled City, from a border town to the first chaotic city of the Federation with tens of millions of people, known as the "Land of the Lawless", the word "Shanzhai" has also become the exclusive name of the imposters. 　　What Li Yao was going to buy was a cottage version of a well-known youth high school special strengthening potion. 　　Most of these cottage potions were illegally refined in small workshops, and their quality was extremely unstable, so it was important to find a more reliable seller. 　　Li Yao was not busy checking the details of the potion, and first pulled the post to the bottom to browse the netizen comments. 　　He found that the netizens' comments on this potion supplier were quite good, and it didn't look like they were selling themselves short, and the address provided by the merchant was still a regular address with a house number. 　　The credibility of this kind of businessman is much higher than that of the itinerant peddlers who change one place after another. 　　He also put the address into the "Wanxiang search", also did not find any negative news. 　　Then he put his heart down, looking for the species he needed, and soon found the relevant information. 　　Somewhat surprisingly, the price offered by this store was about 5% higher than the general cottage goods, but the owner said that the raw materials he used were exactly the same as the genuine ones, and the refining process was also very standardized, so the purity of the refined strengthening potion was extremely high, and there were basically no side effects. 　　After weighing it, Li Yao contacted the boss through Spirit Crane Transmission, "I want a hundred 'Path of Heaven's Pride' Specialized Strengthening Potion for the College Entrance Examination, is there any in stock?" 　　"Yes, I'm right here in the store, ready to trade at any time." The amount of this business was not small, and the boss quickly responded. 　　"Okay, I'll come over right away." 　　Li Yao closed the crystal brain, thought for a moment, felt out a pen, and barely inserted a paragraph between the crooked message slits. 　　"Retired senior refining master of Red Sky Sect, playing his spare time, with more than ten elite disciples, specializing in repairing all kinds of flying swords, magic treasures, and flying shuttles, with affordable prices, and door-to-door repairs are available." 　　He left his own work-specific spirit crane number at the back, calculating in his heart that if there was really a fat sheep on the doorstep, he could let Old Wang play the role of "Retired Senior Weapon Refiner Master of the Red Sky School", and ruthlessly slaughter a knife. 　　Clapping his hands with satisfaction, Li Yao walked out of the public restroom. 　　The address left by the store owner was separated from the food street by four areas, about five miles, Li Yao accelerated his pace. 　　When he passed through two areas, he found an "Automatic Spirit Symbol Vending Machine" at the street corner. 　　This was a very common convenient facility, which stocked hundreds of relatively cheap and commonly used spirit talismans, and sold them on a self-service basis for the convenience of the public. 　　Li Yao felt a movement in his heart, felt out three coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the coin swallowing port of the vending machine, tapped his finger, and chose "Ripple Face Talisman". 　　The vending machine vibrated at high speed for two seconds, and a piece of something fell out lightly from the "shipping port" below. 　　Tearing open the package, it was a sticky mask engraved with dozens of runes that snaked down and intertwined into a bunch of magnificent patterns. 　　Putting the mask on his face, accompanied by a "giggling" sound, Li Yao felt a contraction and pulling of the facial muscles, close to the glass window of the roadside store to see, his face is covered with spidery weird patterns, even if his best friend, Meng Jiang, stood in front of his eyes, I'm afraid that he could not recognize him as a saint. 　　Underground Ghost City was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it was the first time for Li Yao to deal with this potion supplier, not knowing the other party's details, he had to be careful and change his face. 　　In this way, in case of any conflict between the two sides, the big deal is to pat the ass and go away, cleanly, will not leave behind the end of the hand. 　　This kind of "tattoo face talisman", in the face of a unique pattern, depending on the use of different environments, the effect can be maintained for about ten hours, is the underground ghost market popular hot spirit talisman. 　　Especially when trading in gray, almost everyone had one, so Li Yao wasn't afraid that the apothecary boss would get suspicious. 　　The sixty-third district was the spiritual energy supply area of the Underground Ghost Market, responsible for providing a constant supply of spiritual energy to the ventilation ducts and infrastructure of the entire underground fortress. 　　There were not many pedestrians here, and the passage was narrow, surrounded by crisscrossing thick pipes, like thousands of metal snakes coiled around, because of the age and lack of maintenance, many pipes were rusty, and from the seams "snorting" outward spraying steam. 　　The dark metal tunnel, half of the crystal lamps are broken, the remaining half is also bright and dark, the light flickers. 　　In the deepest part of the tunnel, there was a narrow iron door half-open, on the door was branded with a black wolf with teeth and claws, and on the head of the black wolf there was also a bloodied army thorn, and on top of the iron door, there were four square words welded with iron bars: 　　"Military Road Kills Wolves!" 　　From inside, there were shouts, "thumping" sounds, the smell of rust, and the strong odor of male sweat. 　　This was a training center.
