Why do even the big and small families in the city want to earn the three major families? This must start with the right to operate. Since ancient times, there have been four types of businesses in Liancheng that are the most profitable: real estate, elixirs, weapons, and jewelry. The real estate is naturally owned by the city lord, and the last three management rights are awarded to the top three in the family league in turn, and the top three last time were the Qiao family, the Ji family and the Chen family. A few years ago, the Li family, an outsider, opened a few money shops in Liancheng, and their wealth accumulated rapidly, and their status also rose.

Although the Qiao family lives in Liancheng, everyone in the entire Eastern Continent knows about it. Outsiders call the Qiao family a medical family, almost every generation will produce an alchemist, the empire's 3-grade alchemist is said to be from the Qiao family, and there is a legend that there are also ancestors of the Qiao family in the Western Continent. The family is ancient and has a deep heritage, and has held the right to operate the pill for hundreds of years.

It is undeniable that Liancheng has been at the head of the Nine Cities for many years, and the Qiao family has made great contributions.

Ji Yan entered a pharmacy of Qiao's family, there was a long queue in front of the high counter, and behind the counter was a middle-aged man in his fifties condescendingly, looking at the people who bought medicine below with his nostrils. Most of them are ordinary people who can't afford to buy pills, so they can only buy medicinal herbs and boil them according to the doctor's prescription.

"Next!" the middle-aged man shouted impatiently.

After a casual look, he found a free medicine boy in the store, stopped and asked, "Who can I find if I want to sell pills?"

A crisp voice came from behind her, and the medicine boy turned to her little face, which was very amazing. Seeing the other party's clothes again, his expression suddenly cooled. "The time for the free clinic has not yet arrived, the little girl will come in two days!"

"I'm not here to heal the disease, I'm here to sell pills!"

The medicine boy wondered if he had misheard, "Selling pills?"

Ji Yan clasped his hands around his arms and jokingly said, "Otherwise, come and buy it?"

The medicine boy looked again, his clothes were in tatters, he didn't believe that she could afford it, and he also doubted that she could take out the pill. However, there are rules in the store: you must be polite to everyone who comes to sell pills, maybe they are alchemists.

"Okay, you come with me!" After thinking about it, the medicine boy's tone was much more polite.

The medicine boy took her through a corridor to the inner hall, and there were two guards in front of the door, with a good temperament. Ji Yan quietly probed their level, which was higher than his own cultivation.

"This guest is here to sell pills. The medicine boy said respectfully.

The little guy guarding the door swept his eyes over Ji Yan like radar, pushed open the door and let him go. As soon as I entered, the door behind me was closed, so careful? I looked left and right to understand, no wonder, this is the heart of the pharmacy - the alchemy room!

There is only one old man in the house who is cleaning the Dan furnace, and he doesn't even have an apprentice, so he thinks about it, and the herbs are not cheap, and many people can't afford to consume them!

"Grandpa, did that furnace fail?" asked the medicine boy.

Ji Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the medicine boy he pulled casually was actually the grandson of the alchemist!

"Hmm. The old man replied lightly, his eyes not taking off the Dan furnace.

"Grandpa, there was a guest who wanted to sell pills, so I brought her. The medicine boy pointed at Ji Yan and said.

"Oh?" The old man raised his head at this time, saw Ji Yan in the direction pointed by the medicine boy, put down the work in his hand and walked over and asked, "What kind of pill does this guest want to sell?" asked politely, as if the person standing opposite was not a tattered little girl in tatters!

"Two pills. Ji Yan took out the medicine and handed it to him.

The old man uncorked the bottle, sniffed it lightly and nodded, saying, "It's Pei Ling Dan, the quality is excellent, but the old man can take the liberty of asking, where did this bottle of medicine come from?"

The quality of the elixir is divided into excellent, good, medium, and poor, but this child's elixir seems to be even better! Could it be that there is an alchemist whose alchemy quality surpasses that of the excellent product? This is great news.

Ji Yan replied: "It was given by an uncle who was a loose cultivator, but he has already left." ”

The old man's face was suddenly full of disappointment, and he prescribed 450 gold coins, and the original price of the Youpei Ling Pill was 300 gold coins, and he opened 150 more, thinking that this medicine must be taken back and let those old monsters study it well.

Ji Yan nodded and agreed, it was very inconvenient to carry 900 gold coins, and finally the old man gave her a golden ticket, which was a bit like a check, and she needed to go to the Li family money village to get it when she used it. There were 850 gold coins on the ticket, and the rest of the cash was carried with you.

900 gold coins is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and when he left, the old man specially told him to be careful on the road, and originally wanted to send a small escort, but Ji Yan declined.

When I got out of the pharmacy, I first went to the clothing store to spend a few gold coins to change my outfit, otherwise it would be difficult to get things done by the dog's eyes.

There was still some time before the night, and Ji Yan planned to wander around the street casually.

I have to admit that the commercial street in Liancheng is very prosperous, with people coming and going on the street, and transactions are continuous. When passing by a weapons store of the Ji family, a young man was carried out of it by several small servants.

"Let go of me, you're still unreasonable!" the man cried and struggled.

The servants pushed him to the ground heavily, and a middle-aged man who came out of the back threw a broken sword at him and said: "Warning you, this is not a place where you can splash dirty water!

When I bought my sword yesterday, you promised that you could cut gold and cut stones. As a result, before I could cut the gold and stones, the tree broke down. ”

"Nonsense! You yourself cut off and want to slander us!" said the red-faced quibble of the person in charge.

The man stood up with his sword and handed the broken sword to the onlookers in turn, "Let's take a look at this broken sword, does this seem to be made by man? This black-hearted shop obviously sold the defective products to me! Don't you know, this Ji family's country was built by a woman, and then the river demolished the bridge to drive people away, and not long ago burned the only daughter of the family. I'm still honest, there's no darker heart than this!. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yan's heart moved, and he planned to help take a look. I also learned to refine the instrument spirit for a month, although I was learning theoretical knowledge for a month!

For the instigation of young men, the person in charge did not say anything to stop it, except for the slight change in his face, and the more he quibbled with years of experience, the more likely it was that others would think it was true. And he believes that the people below are all laymen, what can he see?

Indeed, there were very few onlookers who could look at the sword, and they handed it to the person next to them if they looked at it casually.

When the sword was passed to Ji Yanna, she took it and carefully inspected the fracture, the fracture was smooth and irregular, indicating that it was brittle, and she tapped the sword with her middle finger to listen to the sound, the sound was chaotic and short, indicating that there were many "dark wounds" inside.

"I see-!" Ji Yan raised his head and smiled contemptuously at the master. xh118
