Chapter 271: Starry Gathering_2
On the right, the woman was dressed in a graceful robe from the Jiangnan region, holding a string of Jade Bone Buddha Beads in her hand. Though her appearance was not particularly stunning, her temperament was unforgettable.
"Zhao Wuxing is still as charming and handsome as ever, truly the most handsome man in the Imperial Capital."
"Is this man perhaps the head of the Wan Nian Feng family of this generation? It is said that their family has inherited the Divine Needle Medical Skill, highly respected in Jiangnan, where the Miracle Medical Hall has thousands of people queued up for years."
"That woman seems to be from the Medicine Immortal Pavilion. The Medicine Immortal Pavilion has become increasingly mysterious over the years, seldom communicating with us. However, every person they send out is a prodigy of the age. How exactly does the Medicine Immortal Pavilion train their descendants, and why are they always so outstanding?"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
At this moment, Zhao Wuxing had already led the two people into the hall.
The lights shone on Zhao Wuxing, as if emitting a spiritual light from him.
"Everyone, welcome to this year's Starry Sky Association. The two beside me, on one side is the head of the Wan Nian Feng family, Jin Chensuo. On the other side is Miss Qi from the Medicine Immortal Pavilion."
The two nodded towards the crowd and took their seats.
Since the main hosts had arrived, the Starry Sky meeting officially began.
First, some people came forward to share their experiences, followed by the display of various captured photos of peculiar scenes, and then recording and compiling the speeches into books.
Lin Beichen watched from behind, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart.
This Starry Sky Association is indeed a grand gathering of adventurers.
In modern society, it seems like the explosion of information has already thoroughly researched the world, leaving no secrets.
But in reality, the knowledge shared on the internet is only the surface. The mysteries hidden in the real world cannot be revealed through internet search engines.
Moreover, the high cost of living in modern society makes the cost of adventure increasingly expensive. It seems that only these ancient families can support such activities.
Even large corporations may not have the spare money and resources to support such seemingly unproductive grand events.
From this perspective, whether it is the Medicine Immortal Pavilion or Zhongcheng Hall, their existence is still beneficial to this world.
While Lin Beichen was lost in thought, the crowd had already finished introducing their experiences and began trading with each other.
"A few days ago, I went to the African Continent and learned a method of elixir refining from the local indigenous people. Later, after traveling through several places in the country, I created this pill formula. Can the Medicine Immortal Pavilion take a look for me?"
"Recently, I explored a subterranean canyon in the northwest and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect. The toxin is very peculiar. Can everyone help me examine it?"
As soon as the two people who spoke finished, they immediately attracted a lot of observers.
The person selling the pill formula was not secretive at all. He actively handed the formula to the crowd for inspection, not worried about others discovering its secrets.
The formula in his hand was only seventy percent genuine, with the remaining thirty percent a mixture of true and false.
If you wanted to know the specifics of the formula, you would have to purchase it from him.
As for the poisoned person, he actively exposed his wound, allowing the crowd to take a few drops of his blood.
All those who took his blood would leave him a check.
Lin Beichen watched in amazement, only to hear Liu Nuyan sneakily say:
"Senior, many people are interested in the big guy behind you. Do you want to sell some blood?"
Lin Beichen heard this and glared at Liu Nuyan.
Liu Nuyan immediately shrank his neck and didn't dare to say another word.
The wooden figure was too conspicuous.
With such a large height and weight, he was like a small giant.
Such a person, if not due to genetic mutation, then there must be something unusual about his family bloodline.
This kind of person's blood and genes are extremely valuable for research.
Lin Beichen had just begun to appreciate some of the merits of these families when he immediately felt a touch of disgust toward them.
Humans are inherently greedy.
If one does not manage the rebellion in their heart, it will eventually bring disaster.
He hoped that these people had not crossed the human taboo of purchasing live humans for experiments.
Many people occupied a table in the hall and shouted their wares loudly.
This Starry Sky Association, which had just been a world adventure exchange meeting, suddenly turned into something akin to a street market.
"Seeking clues about ancient sites around the world, a reward of one million for anyone providing critical leads."
"Seeking collaboration with senior botanists for joint research!"
The cries of sellers echoed, creating quite a lively scene.
Lin Beichen, feeling intrigued, also found a table, sat down, and wrote down a few things he needed.
"Seeking to purchase stones and soil with special properties, any quantity, willing to exchange elixirs."
Cultivation of the Earth of the Five Elements had always been Lin Beichen's top concern.
However, he was in the Imperial Capital, which was not convenient.
Previously, Lin Beichen had planned to travel on his own.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Cultivation of the Earth of the Five Elements truly requires treading through mountains and rivers, surveying the world, to gain insights.
But with the Starry Sky Association, Lin Beichen realized he could perhaps cut some corners.
The essence of the Starry Sky Association is a gathering of adventurers at the forefront of the world.
If space commercial travel were mature, these people would probably run off to space by now.
Perhaps it was due to their ambition for space adventure that they named this exchange Starry Sky Association.
Lin Beichen's stall appeared extremely simple, with only a cup of tea and two sticky notes.
Lin Beichen thought for a moment and realized he couldn't be too casual; after all, it was a stall, and he had to showcase some treasures.
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen picked up a teacup, wiped it clean, and placed three elixirs inside.
As soon as the elixirs appeared, a rich fragrance immediately filled the air.
The surrounding people widened their eyes, inhaled deeply, and wore expressions of bliss.
"What is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"An Immortal Pill, this must be an Immortal Pill."
"Old Liu, you have the most unique nose, use your canine nose to sniff out where this fragrance is coming from."
The fragrance in the hall was too prominent, attracting the attention of people from Medicine Immortal Pavilion and Wan Nian Feng, who were originally chatting on the high platform.
Unlike others, the two of them quickly locked their gaze on Lin Beichen after a sweep of the room.
They immediately came down, and Jin Chensuo pointed at the cup in front of Lin Beichen with a hint of a smile on his pale face.
"Little brother, may I examine this pill?"
Lin Beichen shrugged, indicating that he could go ahead.
Jin Chensuo gave Lin Beichen a deep look.
Originally, he was only thirty percent certain, but Lin Beichen's casual attitude instantly increased his confidence by fifty percent.
Could these three pills really be Immortal Pills?
Jin Chensuo picked up the cup, first sniffing through it, then carefully used a spoon to pour some water over the elixirs.
The water flowed over the pills, absorbing some of their essence.
Jin Chensuo hurriedly poured the water back into the spoon and placed it in his mouth, carefully savoring it.
A few seconds later, his expression suddenly changed.
"This is indeed an Immortal Pill... Not only can it detoxify and strengthen the body, but it also revitalizes the spirit. If one encounters a deadly poison in the wilderness, just one of these can turn danger into safety immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people were in an uproar.
What do these adventurers fear the most?
They do not fear toiling in vain, but they fear being in the wilderness without anyone to save them.
Although the domestic environment is safe, there are still countless undeveloped areas within the country.
Although the Dragon Country still claims to be a developing country, its growth in the past few decades has been extremely aggressive.
In terms of national development, if the domestic areas don't score well, most regions in the world can only be considered undeveloped.
While in the depths of the mountains and forests, even if one makes an emergency call, it might be challenging to pinpoint their location, let alone dispatch help.
In such situations, having an Immortal Pill is like having an extra life.
The reason Immortal Pills are simply named Immortal Pills is because of their exceptional effects, providing an extra life immediately upon consumption.
Everyone started pulling out their checkbooks, vigilantly eyeing those around them.
The cup only contained three pills, which meant almost everyone among the dozens of people present were competitors.
At the back of the crowd, Zhao Wuxing looked at Lin Beichen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He remembered Lin Beichen.
This person was previously blocked outside the bamboo forest and seemed to lack the qualification to enter.
But now... he had unexpectedly taken out three Immortal Pills in a row?
