    The power outage started at 7 o'clock in the morning. I just called and the update was late. I'm really sorry.  *************** Early that morning, Aidi was meditating with her eyes closed in the cabin.  These days, Ai Di not only keeps the garden in order, but also practices magic and martial arts.  In terms of fighting spirit, thanks to the guidance of teacher Rachel, the progress has been very obvious.  Ai Di's thunder fist has been practiced well, and his fighting spirit is also increasing day by day.  During meditation, Ai Di seemed to have entered a void space. His body became very light, and his mental power turned into an infinitely extending tentacle. It seemed that he could touch the sun with one stretch of his hand.  Having been swimming in the magical world for an unknown amount of time, Aidi felt that her body was hot and her mental energy was so full that it seemed like she was about to explode.  The magic swordsman's talent is indeed not limited. Ai Di's training speed is astonishing. In just one week, his magic power has reached the second level, which is at least twice as fast as a normal magician's training speed.  !  Ai Di opened her eyes and broke away from the meditative state.  He moved his muscles, opened his palms, and quickly spit out a few simple syllables.  "Bang", a faint brilliance bloomed in the palm of Ai Di's hand.  If an orthodox magician sees this almost instantaneous light spell, he will definitely be extremely surprised.  Whether it is the gestures of casting spells or the compression of spells, Aidi has achieved the ultimate, even compared to the epic magician.  However, Ai Di currently only has level two magic power, and this light spell is not much brighter than a lantern.  It seems that Aidi still has a long way to go before her magic power can match her rich magic knowledge.  After finishing her early morning practice, Ai Di walked out of the wooden house and was about to practice her fighting spirit when she saw someone looking at the gate of the garden.  Aidi walked over casually and saw an old man with a white beard wearing a black robe standing at the door. He was probably fifty or sixty years old. His black robe was wrinkled and seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and his beard was as unkempt as a bird's nest.  , which seems to be mixed with straw sticks, and he seems to be an informal person.  The old man was staring at the sign hanging at the door. Rachel had hung it last night. It showed the prices of various herbs, which were much cheaper than the market price.  Seeing that it was an old man, Ai Di asked politely: "Old sir, what can I do for you?" "Do you sell herbs here?" the old man asked, "One silver coin per basket?" "That's right." Ai Di  Di nodded.  ¡°I happen to need some silver-leaf grass, can you sell it to me?¡± the old man said.  "No problem, I'll get it for you." Ai Di turned around and walked into the yard.  He remembered that Rachel put the herbs into small baskets by category, and put a price tag on each basket so that they could be clearly seen at a glance.  After finding the pile of baskets, Ai Di picked up a basket of silver-leaf grass and returned to the gate.  "Well, why are these silver-leaf grasses so dry? It seems that they are not nutritious enough?" The old man asked strangely, twisting them with his hands.  "If it wasn't like this, how could it be sold so cheaply?" Aidi said with a wry smile.  "It makes sense. It doesn't affect the properties of the medicine anyway." The old man was also an easy talker. He took out a silver coin to pay Ai Di and left with the basket.  After completing the first business, Ai Di returned to the garden to continue practicing.  Dou Qi is a new field for him and requires more effort.  "Huhha!" Ai Di punched and kicked her, fighting spirit was swimming in her body, gradually getting stronger.  At the same time, in a laboratory of the Feileng Cui Magic Guild, the old man threw a basket filled with silver-leaf grass on the workbench and started a day's work.  The medicine in the beaker made a "gurgling" sound as it was heated, and the several liquids in the test tube were slowly merging.  Although it is dirty and littered with rubbish everywhere, from the perspective of equipment alone, it is definitely the kind of laboratory that all alchemists dream of.  "These silver-leaf grasses are really cheap. You can visit them more in the future." The old man went to buy silver-leaf grasses early in the morning and happened to pass by the garden of the Adventurer's Guild, so he bought a basket of them.  Although the appearance of silver leaf grass is not good, it should not affect its medicinal properties.  He grabbed a handful of silver-leaf grass and sorted it carefully.  What he wants to make is the "Roaring Potion", which only uses blades of grass and needs to cut off all the roots.  Several dark grass roots appeared among the silver-leaf grass. The old man picked them up and prepared to throw them away.  At this moment, a familiar smell penetrated his nose, making him stop.  "It's strange, why does it smell like Ningshen antler?" The old man twitched his nose a few times in confusion.?, the taste comes from the "grass roots" in his hands.  Rinse the grass roots in the pool, and the soil on the surface will spread out, revealing the true appearance of the grass roots.  The old man could confirm with just one glance that this was indeed Ning Shen Rong.  Silver-leaf grass is the most common herb, and a large basket only costs one silver coin, but Ningshen antler is a high-grade herb that is almost as valuable as gold.  I'm afraid these few Ningshen velvets in the old man's hands can be exchanged for three or four gold coins.  "How could there be Ningshen antler mixed in here?" This unexpected harvest made the old man curious. He poured out the entire basket of silver-leaf grass, rummaged through it carefully, and found a few more.  Five or six Ningshen antler were cleaned and placed neatly on the workbench.  The old man checked it and found that the Ningshen antler was in the same situation as the silver leaf grass. It was probably due to a lack of nutrients during the growth process, which led to early maturity.  "It seems that the Adventurer's Guild hired a very bad gardener. It's such a pity for these herbs." The old man shook his head and sighed.  Both silver-leaf grass and Ningshen antler suffer from the same nutritional deficiencies, and even precious herbs like Ningshen antler are mixed into silver-leaf grass. To describe Ai Di as "crappy", the old man is being polite.  "Aiolia, you are sighing early in the morning. This is not your style." Just as the old man was shaking his head, two magicians in white robes walked into the laboratory.  "Haha, it turns out it's you two." The old man Aiolia raised his head, "Why is it so early today?" "It's not because of the bottle of roaring potion. By the way, have you bought the silver leaf grass?" One of them was among them.  The young magician has a fat face like a full moon, and his eyes narrow into slits when he smiles, like an old cat taking a nap.  Although his appearance is not amazing, the mage robe worn by Fat Face is extremely gorgeous.  This robe is made of the highest-grade silk and is extremely well-made. It has a gleaming ring of rolled gold lace. You can tell at a glance that it is sewn with real pure gold thread.  Just looking at the cost of the materials, this robe is probably worth hundreds of gold coins, not counting the inscription blessings and inlaid gems.  Being a magician is a profession that consumes a lot of money. If you have money, you can buy good medicines and equipment, and you can practice rapidly; if you don't have money, you can only practice hard and stay in the same place.  Fat faces obviously belong to the ranks of rich people. No wonder they have fat heads and big ears due to food and are full of flesh.  "I bought it, and there are extra gains." Aiolia smiled, "Look at these Ningshen antler, they are included with the purchase of Silver Leaf Grass." He told what happened in the morning, two magic velvets  The teacher grabbed the silver-leaf grass and the Ningshen antler with interest, and kept making comments.  "Tsk, tsk, to be able to grow the most common silver-leaf grass like this, does this gardener have paste in his head?" A white-robed magician with a hooked nose said disdainfully.  He also has a pair of triangular eyes, and when paired with an aquiline nose, he looks more like a thief than a magician, and the level of sinisterness in his words is comparable to a thief's dagger coated with poison.  Similar to the fat face, the robe with an aquiline nose is also very gorgeous, especially the pattern of the eagle on the back of the robe, which is clearly an advanced "quick casting inscription".  The market price of just blessing this inscription is five hundred gold coins. From this point of view, it is obvious that Hook Nose is also a ruthless character with deep pockets.  "Compared with these two white-robed magicians, Aiolia seems to be more of a rustic. There are no inscriptions or gems on the black robe on his body. Even if it is wrinkled and thrown into the trash, no one will care about it.  The fat face chuckled: "The Adventurer's Guild is a group of stupid guys. I'm not surprised at all that they do this kind of thing."  It's so ridiculous to have enemies like them." Hook-nosed laughed loudly.  "This kind of rubbish belongs to the Adventurer's Guild. If they are as stupid as the gardeners, why should we care about them? Sooner or later they will go bankrupt on their own!" The two magicians sneered at the Adventurer's Guild.  Words are used in every possible way.  It¡¯s no wonder that the Adventurer¡¯s Guild is an emerging force in the Feilengjing City. It has always wanted to surpass the Magic Guild and Warrior Guild at the front. There have been several minor frictions with the Magic Guild, and the relationship between the two parties has not been very good.  good.  "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it would be a good thing for us if there were so many Ningshen antler in every basket of silver-leaf grass." Aiolia suddenly said, "As long as you spend one or two silver coins, not only can you get  It¡¯s just a mediocre herb, but there are gold coins to earn¡± Both the fat face and the hooked nose were stunned, and immediately showed a knowing smile: ¡°It seems we need to visit more often.¡± It¡¯s been a whole morning.Aidi hit the back of the head with her foot.  Meditating, practicing Dou Qi, selling herbs, and taking care of plants, there is almost no time to spare.  After finally having lunch, and just about to take a rest, two uninvited guests came.  There was a fat man with a rosy face and a tall, thin man with a hooked nose. Both of them were wearing cloth clothes that didn't fit well. They were wandering around the door, looking treacherous.  Ai Di came out and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you two?" "I heard that you have cheap silver-leaf grass here, and we want to buy some." The fat man said with a smile on his face while squinting his eyes.  "So we're buying herbal medicine, please wait a moment." Ai Di went to get the silver-leaf grass, but she was thinking in her heart: Who are these two guys? Do they need to be so sneaky when buying herbal medicine?  Handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Ai Di watched the two of them leaving with the silver-leaf grass. He weighed the two silver coins in his palms and muttered to himself: "It seems that I am very talented in the herbal medicine business"
