In the room, Chu Zhen sat with his eyes closed, and practiced this style of "The Wind Turns Around" wholeheartedly.

Time passed, a day passed in the blink of an eye, Chu Zhen, who had been sitting on the bed for a long time, moved his arms lightly, and a breeze appeared around him, as if there was or not.

Suddenly, the breeze dissipated and disappeared completely in an instant.

Chu Zhen opened his eyes and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It seems that it is not difficult to cultivate, but he always feels that when the Yuan Force is running, there seems to be a mistake at a certain point, so that he can't perform this type of exercise.

Looking up, the crescent moon is moving downward, and the stars are thinning, which is the precursor of dawn.

After closing his eyes and cultivating for a while, Chu Zhen planned to go down the mountain with Jing and his party today to have a look at Pengcheng under Lingyun Peak.

When the morning finally came, Chu Zhen and Jing and his party walked down to the top of Lingyun Peak together.

"Brother Jing, how is Yu Hanyi's situation now?"

Jing and his entourage's attention now is either on cultivation, or on Yu Hanyi, after Chu Zhen's persuasion, he has already made up his mind, no matter whether Yu Hanyi is warm or cold to him, and how others judge, he will protect Yu Hanyi for the rest of his life.

Jing and his entourage sighed lightly and replied, "Since Li Jishan came back, she has locked herself up and not seen anyone, and the injury on her face is too damaging for her. A few days ago, I heard from a disciple of Uncle Mi that she was now in retreat in the secret room and had put all her mind on cultivation. ”

Yu Hanyi was depressed, and she was never released, once there was a deviation in her cultivation, it was very likely that she would go mad, but she couldn't retreat now, and others couldn't help her, whether it was good or bad, it could only depend on herself.

"By the way, doesn't she have a favorite brother?"

Chu Zhen still remembered that when he was in Liji Mountain, Yu Hanyi mentioned a senior brother, and his face showed a shy look, obviously having feelings for this senior brother.

"Huh!"

Jing and his entourage smiled bitterly twice, shook his head and said: "Don't mention it, the senior brother Yu Hanyi's crush is named Dian Chong, as soon as he heard that Yu Hanyi's face was ruined, he hid faster than a rabbit, and said that everything was Yu Hanyi's own passion, if it wasn't for Uncle Mi's face, he wouldn't even bother to take care of it." Yu Hanyi's current state also has a lot to do with this weight. ”

A slight scar has detected a human heart, and Chu Zhen can only say that Yu Hanyi was careless for a while and fell in love with a person who is not worthy of trust.

"Alas, don't mention her, Brother Chu, you should have another purpose for going down the mountain, right?"

Chu Zhen nodded and said, "Well, I want to understand the distribution of forces in Xia Peng City, and in addition, let's see if I can find a way to get some cultivation resources." ”

"Oh, well, I've got a good place to go. ”

"Where?"

"The arena in Pengcheng. ”

"Arena?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhen showed a puzzled expression.

Jing and his entourage nodded and said, "Well, in the gladiatorial competition, the winner can get a lot of rewards, which is the fastest way to obtain resources." And, if I name the dealer behind the gladiatorial arena, you'll be more interested. ”

The dealer who will make him interested must have something to do with him, his eyes narrowed slightly, Chu Jiandeng had an answer, and said softly: "It's the Yuwen family." ”

"Clever, it's the Yuwen family. ”

Jing and his entourage didn't expect Chu Zhen to guess it, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

"It's good to start from now on, killing two birds with one stone. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Chu Zhen's mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc.

Pengcheng, with the advantage of being close to Yunmen, has developed rapidly, and its prosperity is far above that of Yancheng, and it is also a place where many large and small forces gather. As soon as you walk into Pengcheng, you will be greeted by a prosperous atmosphere.

Jing and his entourage were very familiar with Pengcheng, so they took Chu Zhen around the city first.

While looking at the shops on both sides of the street, Chu Zhen pondered which location was the best. Ever since he saw the Xuanyue Pavilion branch in Yancheng, Chu Zhen had a plan to expand Xuanyue Pavilion. Previously, he had been wandering around and had no fixed residence, and he was powerless to do something like running a storefront. But now he is different, he has entered the Cloud Gate, and will stay here for a long time after that, which gives him enough time and energy to develop a branch.

While looking around, a medicinal herb shop at the corner of the street came into Chu Chen's sight.

"The location seems good. ”

With a secret voice in his heart, Chu Zhen walked in.

This medicinal herb shop is called Bailiantang, dealing in all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, demon beasts and inner pills, everything that can be used to refine pills, there are sales here.

After walking around inside, Chu Zhen roughly estimated that this medicinal herb shop is divided into two floors, and each floor is very spacious, which is enough to place a lot of pills and mysterious weapons. Through the window on the second floor, Chu Zhen saw that behind the medicine shop, there was also a small courtyard, and there were more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard, which should be the residence of the owner of the medicine shop and his men.

This pharmacy is spacious and bright, located at the intersection of densely populated streets, and is connected to the courtyard of the residents, and there are several wholesale medicinal herb shops nearby, which is very much in line with Chu Chen's wishes.

Picking up a casually seemingly cheap herb, Chu Zhen asked, "How do you sell this herb?"

"This guest officer, this is Lianxin Grass, the price is five hundred gold coins per plant, I don't know how many plants do you want?" the shop guy introduced with a smile.

"Five hundred gold coins a plant!"

Chu Zhen sighed secretly, and put the Lianxin Grass back, the price of the medicinal materials in this medicine shop is terrifying, and the price of the herbs here is calculated together, I am afraid that the entire Xuanyue Pavilion will not be able to compare with it.

"Do you collect the materials for the alchemy pill here?" Chu Zhen suddenly asked.

"It depends on what's on offer?"

A cloth bag was removed from the bag and opened it, revealing the poison sac of the mist tarantula.

The shopkeeper looked at it, nodded and said, "This thing can be accepted by the store, a thousand gold coins." ”

The poison sac of the mist tarantula is not too rare, and a thousand gold coins is fair, so Chu Zhen replaced this poison sac with gold coins.

After inquiring about the price of a few more herbs, Chu Zhen and Jing and his party left the herb shop.

Although he was taken aback by the price of medicinal materials here, Chu Zhen also recognized that it would take a lot of capital to set up a Xuanyue Pavilion in Pengcheng, but he was still determined to get things done. Although the effort is large, the reward is also great, and in order to obtain sufficient cultivation resources, it is essential to have the support of forces.

Seeing that Chu Zhen seemed to have an idea about this pharmacy, Jing and his entourage asked, "What, are you interested in this pharmacy?"

Chu Zhen nodded and replied, "Well, there is a friend who wants to open a store in Pengcheng, I will see if there is a suitable place for him first." ”

But hearing Chu Zhen's words, Jing and his entourage shook their heads and said softly: "Then I advise you to choose another place!"

"Why, because the price will be high?"

"It's not a matter of high or low price, the owner behind this medicinal herb shop is the Nangong family, do you think they will resell this place to you?"

"Nangong family?"

As soon as he mentioned the Nangong family, Chu Zhen immediately thought of Nangong Yu'er, and couldn't help frowning. It really seems almost impossible to get the Nangong family to give up their territory. However, the forces in Pengcheng are intricate, and there are constant open and secret battles between them, as long as they find a combination of interests, Chu Zhen does not feel that there is no chance.

"Turn around again. ”

Following Jing and his entourage along several main streets in Pengcheng, there was no place that Chu Zhen fancied again, if he didn't want to retreat, he could only find a way to get his hands on the Hundred Refining Hall.

After walking such a big circle, Chu Zhen also understood the distribution of forces in Pengcheng. Because Pengcheng is close to Yunmen, it is often subject to the constraints of Yunmen, so the headquarters of large forces are not here, but they just buy some industries here to increase their income. There are dozens of forces in Pengcheng, and the strongest ones are the Yuwen family, the Nangong family and the Sima family, among which the Yuwen family has the least industry, but with the family advantage, it is still the Nangong family and the Sima family, which are ranked among the second-rate families.

Yuwen Haochen will not let himself go, the Yuwen family is the most powerful in Pengcheng, Chu Zhen wants to build a Xuanyue Pavilion in Pengcheng, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky.

Regarding the current situation, Chu Zhen only thought of the words "uniting the weak and fighting the strong".

The situation in Pengcheng was basically understood, and Chu Zhen and Jing and his party came to the fighting arena in the center of the city.

Step through the tall doors of the arena, grab an identity token, and walk through the lobby and a cloister to reveal a large ring and a crowd of people.

In the ring, the two are fighting selflessly, even if they see red in many places, they still don't see the slightest weakness. In the surrounding stands, people kept waving their fists and cheering for one of them, and they looked more excited than the people in the ring.

Casually found two places next to each other and sat down, Chu Zhen set his eyes on the ring.

The two men in the ring, one of them had a mustache and a ruthless look in his eyes, while the other was a bald man with muscles all over his body. And as the fierce battle progressed, the bearded man gradually appeared weak, and it seemed that he was about to lose.

"Fuck, it's really unlucky, I'm going to lose all my belongings again. ”

Seeing that the mustache was getting more and more embarrassed, a man couldn't help but scold.

Hearing the man's scolding, Chu Zhen asked, "Can I place bets here?"

Jing Yixing nodded and said, "Of course, there are two ways to get rewards here, one is to compete on stage, and the other is to bet on which side wins." The former depends on strength, and the latter depends on luck. ”

"Come, come, come, there are no bets, it's about to be closed. ”

As soon as Jing and his entourage spoke, a man who looked like an attendant was holding a big wooden sign, shouting and shuttling through the crowd.

"I'm going to bet. ”

As soon as he saw the attendant, Chu Zhen immediately called him over, and then threw all the thousand gold coins he had just obtained into it.

"Which side do you bet on?" asked the squire.

"I'm betting on the one with the long beard. ”

Just when the winner was about to be divided, Chu Chen's choice of betting turned out to be a mustache that was about to lose.
