Hewei City, is a big city in Yinshan County, located in Pingchuan, open for hundreds of miles, built nearly 30 meters high city wall, up to 10 meters wide, extremely majestic.

The city is home to millions of people and is bustling with people along 16 main streets, lined with shops.

The Shengyuan Continent respects martial arts, and in addition to the teahouses and restaurants along the street, the most important thing is the shops that sell the things that cultivators need, such as weapons and armor, medicinal herbs, elixirs, formation materials, exotic metals, and even martial arts...... The forest is dazzling.

Wang Haochen walked in the flow of people, listened to the noisy noise in his ears, looked at the strange goods in the shops on both sides, and appreciated the prosperity of this completely different world.

In his memory, although there were a lot of things about the Shengyuan Continent, when he really saw it, he had a different feeling.

"Lively! Prosperous!" Even after seeing the prosperity of those metropolises, Wang Haochen also felt amazed.

In the city, the shops are generally two or three storeys, and most of the houses are only one storey, but they are all beautifully built and the construction is extremely high.

With a slight turn of his figure, Wang Haochen got into a slightly dark alley, the noise gradually faded away, and his ears were quiet.

The houses are dilapidated, the roads are full of sewage, and there is a foul smell in the air.

It's only a wall, but this small alley, and the bustling street outside, seem to be in two different worlds.

In the small alley, there are few people, dark and deserted, and from time to time the lights are two, which is also like a bright fire, which is even more desolate.

Wang Haochen frowned and walked in the alley, stepping into the sewage from time to time, the stench was surging, and he couldn't help frowning, but when he thought that Grandpa He had been living in this kind of place, his heart suddenly felt like a knife.

Grandpa Heng used to be in charge of the family wealth for his father, and he was also very wealthy, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but because of himself, he was unique in this remote and dirty place, and his life was helpless and three meals were poor.

"Grandpa Heng......" Wang Haochen looked at the front fixedly, faintly with tears flashing.

Under a small butter lamp, a rickety old man bent down to wipe the shiny table and stool, and behind him was a narrow shop, with a stove at the door, on which a stack of steamers was placed, and it was steaming early.

"Little master!" The old man seemed to notice Wang Haochen's gaze, turned his head slightly, and a trace of happiness suddenly welled up in his dim eyes.

Wang Haochen walked slowly to the old man's side, looked at the old man's old face fixedly, and his eyes moistened.

"Grandpa Heng, I'm back!" Wang Haochen said with a little choked up.

He Heng put down the wipe step in his hand, walked to Wang Haochen's side, and said in a condensed voice: "Young master, are they bullying you again?"

Wang Haochen shook his head, threw himself into the old man's arms, and firmly hugged the old man's shriveled body, but he felt a kind of dependence, a kind of warmth.

"Young master, the old servant is dirty, you ...... Alas!" The old man seemed to feel the sorrow in Wang Haochen's heart, sighed, stretched out his hand slightly, and took Wang Haochen into his arms.

After a long time, Wang Haochen's mood relaxed a little, raised his head slightly, and said, "Grandpa Heng, I want to eat the buns you made!"

"Young master, you haven't been here for three months, and the old servant has made you something to eat today. The old man let go of his hands, turned around and prepared to get busy.

Wang Haochen grabbed the old man and said, "Grandpa Heng, I just want to eat the buns you made." ”

He Heng was reluctant to eat and wear the money he earned from selling steamed buns, and after leaving the money for the materials of the steamed bun shop, he saved it. He knew that Wang Haochen would get tired of eating steamed buns every day, and after a while, he would use the money he saved to buy some meat and make it for Wang Haochen to eat, but he himself did not move at all, Wang Haochen ate happily, he watched quietly, and was happy.

He Heng showed a slight suspicion on his face, every time he wanted to make something to eat for the young master, the young master would refuse, but in the end, he was young, greedy, and the desire in his eyes couldn't hide from him, but this time, he felt that the young master really just wanted to eat steamed buns.

"Good! good...... The young master will eat it, and the old servant will go and get it. The old man turned around, a look of relief on his face.

The master should rest in peace, the young master is already sensible.

After noon, there was basically no business in the steamed bun shop, and almost no one came at night, but He Heng would still stay late in order to make money for those one or two steamed buns.

Wang Haochen's arrival finally made this small alley a little more popular, the two sat under the oil lamp, and Wang Haochen devoured buns.

"Young master, eat slowly, there are many more on the stove. The old man sat next to him and looked at Wang Haochen with a smile.

The buns made by He Heng, although the materials are not very high-end, are made with great care, the filling is thin and the taste is excellent.

After not eating for a day, Wang Haochen was really hungry, and ate the entire cage of steamed buns in one go, more than a dozen.

"Come, drink saliva!" the old man pushed a cup of warm water that had been prepared a long time ago in front of Wang Haochen.

Gollum drank it in one gulp, and finally felt some stock in his stomach.

"Young master, why haven't you come here once after you have been there for the past three months?" Seeing that Wang Haochen finished eating, the old man asked a question that had been lying in his heart.

Wang Haochen wiped the corners of his mouth, and his face showed a trace of solemnity, and said, "Grandpa Heng, I went to participate in the family trial in the past three months. ”

The old man's eyes shrank slightly, and a trace of anger welled up on his peaceful face, and he said, "They forced you, right?

"Grandpa Heng, I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you, now it's okay, I came out alive, and in the trial, I still have a chance. Wang Haochen said with some excitement.

"It's good to come out, it's good to come out......," the old man muttered, but the look of worry in his eyes lingered.

"Grandpa Heng, what I am talking about below is very important, you and me. Wang Haochen looked at the old man and said solemnly.

"Young master, if there is anything you need the help of the old servant, just say. The old man agreed without hesitation.

Even if Wang Haochen's request is ridiculous, as long as there is hope to do it, he will do it.

"Grandpa Heng, I want you to leave Hewei City and go to another big city to rebuild a trading house for me. Wang Haochen also had a trace of guilt in his heart, He Heng was already very old, and he wanted him to go out for a run.

He Heng once helped Wang Haochen's father take charge of the Wang family's largest trading house, and he definitely has this ability, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady has been secretly using means to restrict He Heng, with the business skills in He Heng's chest, the life of the two would never be so miserable as it is now.

Moreover, Wang Haochen asked He Heng to leave Hewei City to develop a commercial bank, not really to make money, but to save his life.

Now he not only completely tore his face with the eldest lady, but also offended many people in the clan, maybe they are limited to the clan rules and dare not kill themselves openly, but if they retaliate, He Heng will inevitably be implicated, with the energy of the Wang family in Hewei City, it is easy to kill He Heng, and it is more likely to use He Heng as a chess piece to threaten himself.

"Once the old servant leaves, the young master will have no one to take care of him, this must not be!" the old man shook his head resolutely.

Wang Haochen smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Heng, I said it, I got some opportunities in the trial."

"Look!" Wang Haochen picked up the stone on the table and shook his palm suddenly.

"Smack!"

There was a sudden thud in his palm, and when his palm slowly loosened, the stones in his palm had turned into fine sand, and water slowly flowed down.

"This ......" The old man's cloudy eyes lit up, and a flush appeared on the old man's face, "Young master, you can already cultivate?"

Wang Haochen nodded, and then said: "Grandpa Heng, you don't have to worry about me, with my current strength, I can protect myself, and you also know the clan rules, they don't dare to kill me openly, as long as I am careful, they have no way to take me." ”

The old man couldn't help showing a hint of hesitation on his face, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what the young master said!"

He Heng had seen many strong people in the Wang family, and he could see that Wang Haochen's hand just now seemed simple, but it was by no means possible in the Qi Condensation Realm, although he didn't understand why Wang Haochen suddenly had such a strong cultivation, but he didn't ask much.

With Wang Haochen's current cultivation, he can't help much, and he also knows that those battles of the Wang family, if he continues to stay here, he is afraid that he will become a drag on Wang Haochen, but if he leaves Hewei City and establishes a trading house, he can not only avoid danger, but also provide great support to Wang Haochen.

The people of the Wang family, as long as they have a little strength, will have a lot of industries outside, and the resources required by cultivators are huge, and relying only on the little provided by the family is a drop in the bucket.

The old man is penniless, but he is not worried that he can not build a business bank, in this regard, he has a strong self-confidence, whether it is the vision of experience, or the grasp of opportunities, he is confident that he is not inferior to others, just a small opportunity, he can establish the business bank.

Wang Haochen's palm was hidden under the table, stretched out slightly, and suddenly a piece of yuan stone appeared in his hand, and then put it on the table and pushed it in front of the old man.

"Grandpa Heng, you take these Yuan Stones, you can find a place to hide them tonight, and find a way to contact a caravan that will leave Hewei City in three days, when the time comes, I will give you a Yuan Stone, you take it away, as for where to go, you are more experienced than me, you decide for yourself." Wang Haochen looked at the old man, and there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

The reason why he wanted to set a three-day period was that he wanted to use these three days to gather enough yuan stones for the old man as much as possible, so that the old man could easily establish a business bank.

Since the old man promised him, he would definitely try his best to complete it, and he didn't want the old man to suffer too much.

"Young master, as long as the old servant has these, it is enough, your cultivation is important, don't waste that time. The old man didn't shirk either, and directly put away the yuanshi.

Wang Haochen shook his head and said: "Grandpa Heng, you wait for me for three days, for more than a year, I would have died without you, now that I have the ability, I naturally can't let you suffer for me anymore, and if you can establish the business faster, you can also help me faster, this is not a waste of time, but a time saving." ”

The old man thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

He is very skilled in management, and he naturally knows that the accumulation at the beginning is very slow, and if there is enough capital at the beginning, it is a completely different starting point.

After agreeing on a meeting place in three days, Wang Haochen got up and left, his steps hurried away, he wanted to gather enough yuan stones in three days, the time was extremely tight, and he still had no clue.

The old man looked at Wang Haochen leaving, and after watching his back disappear, he also got up slowly, untied the oil-stained apron around his waist, folded it neatly, and put it on the table, and then raised his eyes to look at his small shop, turned around and left, without any nostalgia.

Although Wang Haochen did not explicitly say his grudge against those people in the family, the old man still felt the urgency, he had seen the wind and waves, and he would not make mistakes at all because of some petty profits.

With the footsteps, the old man's rickety back seemed to straighten slightly, and there seemed to be a surge of pride on his body.
