On the way to the Imperial City, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping.

In the carriage, a middle-aged woman with an extremely ugly appearance and a pockmarked face stretched her neck and looked into the distance, eager to reach the imperial city immediately.

"Don't worry, it's still a few hours before we reach the Imperial City. ”

Opposite the pockmarked woman, a man dressed in an alchemist's costume couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw her like this.

In the past six months, this person who has been cultivating has been sitting stupidly looking into the distance, muttering "young master" in his mouth, and asking himself about Qin Lang from time to time.

This is not only the maidservant's longing for the Lord, but also the newlywed daughter-in-law's thoughts about the groom who left home.

It seems that she has a deep love for Qin Lang!

With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Shao Shuai Danshi smiled:

"Your young master Qin Lang is now the deputy domain master of the Chaos Domain, one person is above ten thousand people, he should be cultivating in the Chaos Domain, how can he participate in this alchemist competition of the Zongheng Empire, you have to come to the Imperial City with me this time, I guess you are afraid that you will be disappointed!"

In Shao Shuai's opinion, even though the final reward of this alchemist competition was extremely attractive, Qin Lang was wanted by the ten major sects and almost lost his life, and finally escaped to the Chaos Domain, and he would definitely not return to the Zongheng Empire before he had enough self-protection power.

After all, with his current strength, it would be too much of a risk to come back!

"Thank you, Master Shao, for your kindness. ”

The pockmarked woman turned her head and smiled at Shao Shuai, but did not open her mouth to argue.

Although Shao Shuaidanshi is very reasonable, Yun'er has a faint hunch that the young master will definitely appear in the imperial city to participate in this alchemist competition.

Although this premonition came for no reason at all, for some reason Yun'er had great confidence in it.

Glancing at Yun'er and then looking at Yun'er in the direction of the imperial city outside the carriage, Shao Shuai shook his head helplessly.

This girl is usually very well-behaved and sensible, but sometimes she is too stubborn, and once she decides that even ten cows can't pull it back.

The Imperial City of the Zongheng Empire, located in the center of the Zongheng Empire, is backed by two huge spiritual vein mountains, and the stretching mountains are like two coiled dragons.

In front of the imperial city, a magnificent long river flowed by, like a magnificent water dragon.

One city around three dragons!

This pattern is the best feng shui in feng shui, and the establishment of the imperial city here can ensure the prosperity of the empire and the country.

"Finally arrived at the Imperial City!"

Qin Lang and Xue Qianyao looked at the tall and majestic city of the imperial city not far in front of them, and they both showed relief and joy.

The walls of the Imperial City were not as tall and heavy as the Realm of Chaos, but they were imbued with a blessing of depth and majesty

"Thank you for taking care of this!"

Xue Qianyao thanked Qin Lang with a smile, if it wasn't for Qin Lang, it would be impossible for her to reach the Imperial City.

"It's all friends, you're welcome!" Qin Lang smiled and waved his hand, "Do you need me to accompany you to the Xue family, when you were ambushed?"

"I'm not bothering you. I can do this alone. And you must be eager to meet Yun'er, how can I be embarrassed to delay your precious time!"

Xue Qianyao quipped.

"Good. Then we'll leave it at that. I'll visit again when I have time!"

Qin Lang nodded.

"This card is for you, it is my reward for you, you should use it! Be sure to keep it, I only have the right to give one out every year, and I haven't given one out for many years!"

Xue Qianyao's slender jade hand flipped over, and a clever golden card appeared in the palm of her hand and handed it to Qin Lang.

"What is this?"

Taking the golden card, Qin Lang looked puzzled.

"This is the supreme card of our Xue family, as long as you hold this card, you can go to any store of our Xue family to buy the spirit grass, spirit pill, weapons, etc. you want at a discount, and there is no commission for auctioning items, you can enjoy the services provided by our Xue family for free!"

Xue Qianyao explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's a good thing, then I'm going to be disrespectful!"

Qin Lang's eyes lit up, the Xue family was the most powerful family in the Zongheng Empire except for the imperial family, and the industry was all over the place, so he would inevitably have to buy cultivation resources in the future, and with this card, he could save a lot of expenses.

On both sides of the gate, two columns of soldiers wearing bright armor, spears in their hands, and long swords at their waists stood neatly, their eyes swept over the passers-by, not angry and arrogant.

A long queue lined up in front of the city gates, and every warrior who wanted to enter the imperial city had to go through strict checks before being allowed to enter.

Xue Qianyao, as a member of the Xue family, naturally didn't need to line up, but just flashed a transparent jade pendant on her waist, and the soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly made way of a passage.

With Xue Qianyao opening the way, Qin Lang didn't need to show his identity as an alchemist, so he followed behind Xue Qianyao and walked into the imperial city under the envious eyes of the martial artists in the queue.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, the bustling shops came into view, and the shouts of the vendors came into Qin Lang's ears, looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Qin Lang secretly said, this flow of people seems to be a lot more than the chaotic domain!

Bidding farewell to Xue Qianyao, Qin Lang took Wang Wu and Qianli Xue to look for an inn while walking.

What made Qin Lang speechless was that he had found several inns in a row, but they were all full.

Later, a kind-hearted shopkeeper told Qin Lang that the Imperial City was going to hold an alchemist competition in more than three months, and such an important competition attracted a large number of forces and martial artists, and the entire imperial city was already overcrowded, and many inns were already full. Qin Lang wanted to find a place to live, either to an extremely remote inn, or to the most expensive inn in the center of the imperial city, maybe there was a place to stay.

Qin Lang decided to try his luck in the center of the imperial city, but if he really couldn't, he could only go to a remote corner to find a place to live.

There is an extremely luxurious inn in the center of the imperial city, the whole body is golden and splendid, many passing warriors are envious to look inside, people who can enter and exit here are either rich or expensive, ordinary warriors do not dare to set foot in a step inside.

"Shopkeeper, are there any empty rooms?"

Qin Lang walked into the inn and asked.

"The guest came just in time, just vacated two rooms, but we have the best room here, the price is not cheap, one needs 10,000 taels of silver, do you need to stay?"

Qin Lang secretly asked, he asked for 10,000 taels of silver, this is a naked robbery! Fortunately, he is not bad for money now, and he is a fraction:

"I wanted both rooms, which is four months' room rate. ”

Qin Lang lives in one room by himself, and the other room is for Wang Wu to live, and the alchemist competition will not be held for more than three months, so it is just to save trouble by setting four months at a time.

"Okay. This is the key to the room, you take it, you have a special service staff in the room you order, what needs to be ordered. ”

Seeing that Qin Lang was so generous, after the boss counted the room fee, he handed the key to Qin Lang with a smile.

At this moment—

"Boss, do you have any rooms here?"

A young man dressed in an alchemist's costume walked in and asked.

"I'm sorry, but the last two rooms have just been booked by this guest. ”

"Not School"

Without even looking at the young man, Qin Lang directly refused.

It was not easy to find a place to live, how could Qin Lang give it to others casually.

What's more, the tone and demeanor of the young man's words were too arrogant, as if he was superior, which made Qin Lang feel disgusted with him.

Rejected by Qin Lang, a trace of gloom flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said coldly:

"I can pay double the price and give me a room!"

At the end, the young man clasped his fists in front of his chest, looking proud.

In the eyes of the young man, if he offered such a generous condition, the other party would definitely be tempted in the face of huge interests, and he would naturally give up the room to himself.

"Not interested. ”

Qin Lang shook his head and prepared to leave.

Hearing Qin Lang's answer, the smug look on the young man's face stiffened, and his eyes showed anger:

"Give me a room and I'll give you five times the price!"

Qin Lang just relied on his urgent need for a room and wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, as long as he opened his chips to be tempting enough, he naturally agreed.

The boss next to him saw that the price of the house he had just opened had increased fivefold in the blink of an eye!

It's so tempting!

"Ten times ......"

Qin Lang said coldly.

"Ten times!" The corner of the young man's eyes jumped fiercely, he didn't expect Qin Lang to be so black-hearted, and he asked for ten times the price, after a little hesitation, the young man shook his teeth and said:

"Okay, ten times is ten times! I'll give you ten times the price of the room, and you give me the key to a room." ”

The boss on the side gasped, and in the blink of an eye, the house price had increased tenfold, which was also crazy!

"Shall I give you the room?"

Seeing the young man holding him back and stretching out his hand, Qin Lang's face sank.

"Didn't you offer ten times the price just now......"

The young man was stunned.

"I am, I'll pay ten times the price to buy you get out of here, noisy tongue!"

Glancing at the young man, he pushed his arm away, and Qin Lang stepped up the stairs.

than richer?

Qin Lang's storage ring contains all the belongings of the two domain lords of the Chaos Domain, and the sum may not be less than some first-class families in the Imperial City!

"It turns out that he is not bad for money!"

The boss muttered in his heart, this young man has chosen the wrong person to show off his wealth.

"You-"

was scolded by Qin Lang, the young man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his chest rose and fell violently,

I am Lu Chuan, the second disciple of the Yichen Dan King of the Fengyun Sect, a dignified second-grade alchemist, I don't know how many kneeling begging me is too late! You had better give the room to the master obediently, otherwise you don't have to take action, some people are rushing to clean you up, and you have to stammer!"

Lu Chuan originally didn't want to reveal his identity, but the white-robed young man on the other side was too ignorant of lifting, and under the shock of Fengyun Sect and his second-grade alchemist, the other party must be soft and give up the room to himself.

"It turned out to be a second-grade alchemist of the Fengyun Sect!"

The boss was shocked, and only then did he notice the two golden Dan furnaces on Lu Chuan's chest, and secretly sweated for Qin Lang in his heart, it was not a wise move to offend a second-grade alchemist for a house, not to mention that this alchemist was also the second disciple of the Yichen Dan King of the Fengyun Sect, the largest sect in the Zongheng Empire, so he couldn't afford to offend!

"You're from the Wind Cloud Sect!"

Qin Lang was walking up the stairs for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lu Chuan.

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Lu Chuan sneered, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked proud, obviously he thought that Qin Lang was frightened after hearing his background, and was ready to bow his head to himself and compromise.

How can I make it difficult for him in the future so that he can get out of his previous evil spirit, and at the same time not lose the demeanor of the great sect of the Fengyun Sect?

The boss said apologetically.

His eyes fell on Qin Lang, and the young man spoke:

"This friend, can you make it convenient for you to give a room below?"

Although the young man was pleading, his tone was full of pride and an attitude that could not be refused.
