Chapter 18: Canterlot
After jumping two space-time wormholes in a row and about five hours of traveling, the He family and his group finally arrived in Canterlot.
Central City is a city located in the center of the entire Reiki Continent, and it can be regarded as the most prosperous place in the continent. The Yan family and the Wen family of the Ten Soul Guardians are stationed in the Central City, plus the Soul Guardian Sacred Palace, which dominates the entire continent's troops, making the Central City the most important city in the continent at the same time. There are countless powerhouses on the surface of the central city, and about 20% of the high-end combat power of the entire continent has been gathered. Therefore, this central city is also known as the safest place on the mainland.
After going through strict security checks, He Zhuo and his group finally entered the so-called Central City. As soon as he entered the city gate, He Xuansheng felt a kind of indescribable prosperity and hustle and bustle. The bustling streets are lined with all kinds of small stalls and vendors, shouting and bargaining.
"The Ten Family Conference is a major meeting held by the Guardian Sacred Palace from time to time that is related to the future of the entire continent, and during this time, families and some powerful people from all over the continent will be invited by the Holy Palace to come to the meeting. For these families and the powerful, this is a supreme honor, but for some small stall vendors, it is a good opportunity to make money that cannot be given up. Shangguan said to He Xuansheng, "Because the average big family will not spare money in many ways, so during this time, there will be all kinds of small vendors from all over the country to come here, relatively, the price at this time will be much higher than usual, but in the same way, you can often buy some precious items that you can't usually buy here." ”
He Zhen looked up at the sky that was gradually darkening, turned back to the people of the He family and said, "It's not early today, let's go to the accommodation arranged for us by the Holy Palace to settle down, everyone have a good rest, and tomorrow we will go to the Holy Palace to attend the meeting." Saying that, He Yan turned around and patted He Xuansheng's little head, and said softly: "We won't be with you tomorrow, you can go to Central City by yourself." ”
Because of the long time of traveling, He Xuansheng and the others did not go out for a stroll that night, but all stayed at the residence to adjust their state. Early the next morning, He Zhen, Shangguan and others all left their residences and went to the Guardian Spirit Palace to attend the meeting. And He Xuansheng and Yunya went to the center of the central city to hang out.
Walking through the streets of Central City, He Xuansheng felt an unprecedented prosperity. After all, as the largest city in the mainland, its prosperity is not easily comparable to other places.
"Young Master, do you have anything you want to buy?" Yun Ya asked softly towards He Xuansheng on the side.
"Oh, don't call me young master, it sounds weird. He Xuansheng blamed, "You are older than me, and your cultivation is also higher than mine, just call me by my name." ”
Yun Ya smiled helplessly, in the past few days in the He family, he had already heard that He Xuansheng didn't like to put on a show, so he simply called "Xuansheng".
He Xuansheng looked at Yun Ya and smiled, then took out a small note and said, "The master gave me this note last night, saying that he asked me to buy some medicinal herbs according to what was written on it." So let's go to the place where we buy medicinal herbs first. ”
He Xuansheng and the two walked for more than ten minutes, and the two came to the largest medicinal herb market in Central City. Walking into the door, a strong smell of medicine was smoked, and He Xuansheng and the others frowned.
"Xuan Sheng, why don't we split up, and we might as well leave here as soon as possible after buying the medicinal herbs. Yun Ya pinched his nose and said to He Xuansheng.
He Xuansheng nodded, tore the note in his hand in half, and handed one of them to Yun Ya and said, "Then let's go our separate ways, and after we are done, we will use the communication device to contact each other." ”
The communicator is a communication tool unique to the Soul Protector Continent. By injecting spiritual power into the communicator, you can reach other people within a certain distance.
Yun Ya nodded, took the half piece of paper, and said, "Then you have to be careful yourself, and notify me immediately if you encounter danger." ”
After the two separated, He Xuansheng took a look, walked directly to the shop with a relatively small family, handed the piece of paper to a person lying on the counter and asked softly, "Boss, do you have these things here?"
The owner here is a slightly lazy middle-aged uncle, perhaps because no one pays attention to his shop, and he unconsciously lies on the counter and wants to sleep. He rubbed his eyes after hearing He Xuansheng's voice, took the piece of paper and looked at it and said, "Little ghost, I'm not the boss here, I just owe some money to work here." ”
He Xuansheng carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Uncle, my name is He Xuansheng, what is your name?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said softly, "Didn't your parents tell you not to talk to strangers casually?"
"Uncle is not a bad person. He Xuansheng said with a smile, "I can feel it." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, then smiled and said, "My name is Rou Qingya." Then he glanced at the small note handed over by He Xuansheng again, and said, "What you want are some very precious things, I suggest you go to the fifth floor to have a look." Saying that, Rou Qingya handed He Xuansheng a small golden card and said, "It belongs to the VIP area, and there should be something you want." ”
He Xuansheng took the card and asked, "Uncle, what is this?"
"Of course, you need a VIP card to enter the VIP area!" Rou Qingya smiled and said, "You can use it first, and then you can return it to me when you come back." ”
He Xuansheng said "thank you" to Rou Qingya, and then got up and went to the VIP area. Rou Qingya continued to sit lazily in his seat, but his eyes kept glancing at He Xuansheng. To be honest, He Xuansheng left a very deep impression on him, and he didn't know why such a young child would say things like "Uncle, you are not a bad person".
"This kid is not simple!" Rou Qingya smiled, lay down on his easy chair again, and said to himself, "Wolong Lance? That guy's vision is really good!"
The further he went, He Xuansheng found that the decorations on both sides of the road became more and more prosperous. And at the entrance of the fifth floor, there were ten big men in heavy armor guarding them.
"Please show your VIP card!" one of the guards led by him said to He Xuansheng who walked over, "If not, please return!"
He Xuansheng was startled by this loud voice, and immediately took out the golden card that Rou Qingya gave him and handed it to the guard led by him, and said with a little fear: "This ...... Is this okay?"
The guard took the card, and the spiritual power was injected, only to see that the card was shining with golden light in an instant. Several guards saw that their faces changed, and with a "bang", they all knelt on one knee, touched their chests with the palm of their right hands, and bent their bodies slightly forward: "Welcome to the Golden Members!"
"Gold member?" He Xuansheng was taken aback by the scene in front of him, and hurriedly asked the guard in front of him, "What is a gold member?"
"Dear Gold Member, It's an honor to be able to answer your questions. The guard at the head said respectfully, "The Lingtian Medicine Building in our Central City is the largest medicine building in the whole continent, and our Medicine Building is divided into two areas: the ordinary area and the VIP area. Most of the ordinary herbs sold in the ordinary area are some ordinary medicinal herbs, while in the VIP area you can buy a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and even some medicinal herbs handed down from ancient times are sold by us. ”
"Then what's the difference between the members you have here?" He Xuansheng asked.
"We have three types of VIP cards here, the lowest is the bronze card, which only enjoys some basic membership benefits. The second is the silver card, which allows you to enter the sixth-floor area of the best medicinal materials, and the most precious thing is the gold membership card in your hand, you can not only let us find the medicinal materials you need on your behalf, but also enjoy a seven-percent discount, and the most important thing is that you even have the right to enter the ancient medicinal materials area on the seventh floor to buy medicinal materials!"
He Xuansheng's mouth opened wide in surprise, and it took him a long time before he gradually came back to his senses and asked, "Then how can I get these membership cards?"
"Bronze and Silver cards can be obtained by spending a certain amount of money in our pharmacy, while gold membership cards are issued to those who have made significant contributions to our pharmacy. According to records, in the more than 300 years of existence of our Lingtian Medicine Building, no more than 100 gold membership cards have been issued. ”
He Xuansheng was completely stunned after listening to the guard's description. He didn't expect that the lazy middle-aged uncle would have such a precious thing, and what surprised him even more was that such a precious thing he could lend to a stranger at will.
"I've been a member guard at the Lingtian Medicine Tower for twenty years, but I've never met anyone with a Gold membership card. So please tell me the origin of this card!"
He Xuansheng was stunned, and then said embarrassedly: "This card is not mine, it was borrowed from an uncle selling medicine on the first floor." ”
Looking at the slightly disappointed guard, He Xuansheng asked cautiously, "Is that not my card, can I still use it here?"
"Yes, of course. The guard nodded and said, "Is it here, it's all the medicine houses in the whole continent, as long as you hold this gold membership card, all the medicine houses on the Spirit Guardian Continent will enjoy the highest membership treatment." ”
If the guard's previous words surprised him, this last sentence made him completely unbelievable. Isn't that a universal key?
"Alright, valued Gold Member, you can now enter the Fifth Floor Members' Session. ”
The first thing He Xuansheng did after learning about the rights of the golden member was not to enter the venue immediately to purchase, but to quickly use a correspondent to find Yunya.
"You're just going to wait outside for a while. After learning that only one person was allowed to enter on a membership card, He Xuansheng said to Yunya, "I'll be out soon." ”
When you enter the venue, you will be greeted by the splendid decoration and a variety of luxurious utensils and furniture. To He Xuansheng's surprise, there was no trace of the bitter taste of medicinal herbs here, but because he didn't know anything, there was some pleasant taste here.
"Dear Gold Member, is there anything I can do to help you?" was greeted by a lady of etiquette dressed in professional work clothes and with a hot body. The slightly tight workwear accentuates her sexy and seductive figure.
He Xuansheng was taken aback by this sudden service, his little face suddenly turned red, he handed over the two notes embarrassedly, and whispered: "I, I'm here to buy these medicinal materials." ”
The hostess took the piece of paper, looked at it briefly, and said, "We will deliver all the medicinal materials to you in two hours, now you can go to the rest area over there to rest for a while." ”
He Xuansheng followed Miss Manners's fingers and saw a row of luxurious high-end sofas, and at this time, there was a little girl with a delicate face, similar age to herself, wearing a blue dress, who was quietly looking at herself.
