"I still need to buy some refining materials, please take me to see them. Li Yi said.

The steward smiled and said, "Please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he led the way in front and went straight up to the fourth floor.

Li Yi was strange in his heart, and said secretly: "How do you go up?" On the surface, he was silent, wanting to see where the steward was going to take him.

With his current strength, he doesn't need to worry about what tricks this steward will play.

This steward's cultivation is not bad, and he has reached the ninth level of the Law Phase, but compared to Li Yi, it is too far behind.

The fourth floor was empty, there was no figure in sight, and there were no shelves for selling elixir magic weapons and other things, which looked quite weird.

The two of them walked through a quiet corridor and entered a large hall.

The main hall was almost made of some kind of jade, glowing with turquoise light, and it looked magnificent and very pleasing to the eye.

Li Yi exclaimed in his heart: "This kind of jade seems to have the effect of concentrating energy, I don't know what kind of jade it is? I'm afraid that just a small piece is worth a lot of money, this Zhenlong Pavilion can actually use this kind of jade to build a big hall, how strong is the financial resources?"

You must know that Zhenlong Pavilion is the largest chamber of commerce force in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and this Zhenlong Pavilion in Lake City is just a branch, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the whole.

However, this small amount of financial resources is already so staggering, you can imagine how huge its overall power must be.

Li Yi was thinking about it, when he saw a person turn out from behind the screen in the main hall, it was a white-haired old man, hunched over, looking like a group of amiable, but there was a trace of light in his eyes, sweeping over Li Yi's body.

"This man is very strong. Li Yi made a judgment at the first time, but he was still calm, he had already seen that the steward must have a deep meaning in bringing him here, so he didn't ask, and waited for the other party to take the initiative to explain.

The steward bowed to the old man and said respectfully, "Elder, the man has been brought." ”

"Elder?" Li Yi frowned slightly.

The old man nodded, and said to Li Yi: "Your Excellency is not small, as a wanted criminal in the Zhennan Palace, you still dare to take risks alone, come to Lake City, are you really not afraid of death?"

Li Yi was shocked, and said secretly: "How does he know my identity?"

Li Yi's transformation is supernatural, and ordinary people can't see the slightest flaw at all, could it be that the strength of this old man is so strong?

After a while, Li Yi calmed down and said lightly: "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just here to buy some things I need, what is there to be afraid of death, and there is no way to talk about the king's culprits!"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Li Yi, who became famous and powerful in Yanzhou some time ago, doesn't dare to admit his identity?"

Li Yi was convinced that the other party had indeed seen through his true face, so he stopped pretending, his expression turned cold, and said, "How did you recognize me?"

The old man stretched out his hand, and a golden mirror appeared above his palm, and Li Yi's figure was reflected in the mirror.

Li Yi obviously turned into another appearance at this time, but what was reflected in the mirror was his true face, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said secretly: "What kind of magic weapon is this?

The old man seemed to see his doubts and said, "This magic weapon is called the Barrier Breaking Mirror, which can break all the obstacles in the world. Although Your Excellency's transformation power is a demon talent, it is also a kind of blinding method, so naturally it can't be concealed, as early as when you entered Zhenlong Pavilion, I have seen through it. ”

Li Yi received the transformation supernatural power, simply restored his original appearance, and said coldly: "In this way, Zhenlong Pavilion wants to take me down and go to the Zhennan Mansion to ask for merit?"

The old man put away the barrier-breaking mirror and said, "If I say yes, what are you going to do?"

Li Yi said: "Then it depends on whether you have such a ability!"

The old man was silent for a while, suddenly laughed, and said: "If someone else says such things in front of me, I will definitely treat him as if he doesn't know the height of the sky, but Your Excellency dares to fight against the people of Zhennan Wangfu with his own strength, but it is a different matter." To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I'll take you. ”

Li Yi said, "Then what do you mean?"

The old man said: "Our Zhenlong Pavilion is open to do business, and we are guests when we come to the door, no matter what, I will not make a move on guests, especially guests like you." But some people are trying to provoke me against you, and they say that it is a great thing to do so, but fortunately I am not so stupid that I will not fall for him. ”

"Someone provoked?" Li Yi said, "Who is it?"

"Lake City Lord Ling Tiannan. ”

Li Yi was stunned.

He came to Lake City this time, mainly to buy pills and materials, and he didn't plan to go to Ling Tiannan's trouble, but he didn't expect Ling Tiannan to take the initiative to find him instead.

The old man said: "Ling Tiannan has always been very jealous of our Zhenlong Pavilion's financial resources, thinking day and night, that is, it is to suppress Zhenlong Pavilion and seize the wealth of Zhenlong Pavilion. He guessed that you would come to Zhenlong Pavilion, so he deliberately leaked the news to lure me out, pretending that this was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, but he was ambushed outside, and a fisherman came to make a profit, which was quite beautiful to think, but he couldn't help but look at me too stupidly!"

When Li Yi heard this, he fully understood.

It turns out that Zhenlong Pavilion is different from those family forces supported by the imperial court, it is a pure non-governmental organization, founded by a loose cultivator thousands of years ago, and the imperial court has not tried to suppress it, but Zhenlong Pavilion is the first chamber of commerce of the Great Xuan Dynasty, dominating the circulation of most of the world's resources, if Zhenlong Pavilion falls, the consequences will be very serious.

It may be that even the imperial court will fall into the dilemma of insufficient resources, so it adopts an ambiguous attitude towards Zhenlong Pavilion.

Naturally, Zhenlong Pavilion could not be loyal to the imperial court.

"You came to me just to tell me that Ling Tiannan wanted to deal with me?" Li Yi said.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and I would like to remind you that there is no harm to Zhenlong Pavilion." ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "I can't see it, can I?" Ling Tiannan treats you as a fool, but you seem to treat me as a fool too!"

"Why did you say that?" the old man's face changed slightly.

Li Yi said: "You just said, Zhenlong Pavilion is open to do business, everyone in the world who does business is mercenary, otherwise the business will not be able to become bigger, an existence like Zhenlong Pavilion, I'm afraid it is even more so, although it doesn't hurt to remind me, but if there is no benefit, I guess you won't do it." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "You think too much, what good can it do to Zhenlong Pavilion by reminding you?"

Li Yi said lightly: "Ling Tiannan reminded Zhenlong Pavilion, what good is it for him?"

The old man's expression changed, and after a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Since you insist on saying this, then I can't help it." ”

Li Yi snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to pretend anymore, Ling Tiannan wants Zhenlong Pavilion and me to lose both, and he comes to the fisherman to benefit, and you are the same, you want me and Ling Tiannan to lose both, and Zhenlong Pavilion to come to the fisherman to benefit, isn't it? Otherwise, why do you tell me Ling Tiannan's plan?"

"Don't be rude to the elders!" cried the steward.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it." You're really smart, so I'll just say it. I want you to deal with Ling Tiannan and cause him a little trouble, but I'm just worried that you will fall into his ambush and die too quickly, so I remind you. Now it seems that my worries were unfounded. ”

Li Yi said: "How many people did he ambush outside?"

The old man said: "There are about 5,000 people, and this is only the first layer of ambush, and there is a second layer behind, at least more than 10,000 people." In addition to the people from the City Lord's Mansion, the people of the five major families also poured out. ”

"Heh!" Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle, "They really look up to me and send fifteen thousand people to ambush me!"

The old man said, "Now that you already know, I wonder how you plan to escape?"

"Escape?" Li Yi asked rhetorically, "Why should I run away?"

The old man was stunned and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Li Yi said: "I want to make a deal with you, don't you want me to cause a little trouble to Ling Tiannan? I can help you do it, and it's not just a little trouble, but to kill Ling Tiannan, uproot the City Lord's Mansion and the five major families, their property, Zhenlong Pavilion can be annexed at will, and I just need you to meet my little request, how about it?"

"What do you want?" the old man's expression moved.

Li Yi said: "My requirements are not high, I just need some refining materials, and I will draw up a list when the time comes, and you can meet me according to the list." ”

"What kind of refining material it is, you can give an example first, and I also have a good idea. "The old man is not easily fooled.

Li Yi had no choice but to say: "It's not a big deal, such as the Shura Blood Crystal, just take ten or eight pieces." ”

"Shura Blood Crystal?!" the old man sank his face, "Your Excellency's mouth is wide open, and its mouth is inevitably a little too big. The Shura blood crystal is condensed from the natal essence blood of the ancient Shura clan, how precious, one piece is worth a fortune, and it is actually said that it will cost ten or eight pieces, who is this?"

Li Yi said: "There are no ten or eight yuan, so three or four yuan can be improvised." But I also need some pills, so I'll give me another three hundred pills. ”

The old man's face was even more ugly.

One immortal elixir is worth two million spirit stones, and three hundred immortal elixirs are a full six hundred million spirit stones. Even with the wealth of Zhenlong Pavilion, 600 million spirit stones could not be taken out casually.

"A transaction can only be called a transaction if it is equal or similar in value. The old man said coldly, "You don't call it a deal at all, you obviously want to take the opportunity to kill my Zhenlong Pavilion!"

There has always been only Zhenlong Pavilion to slaughter others, when will it be the turn of others to slaughter Zhenlong Pavilion?
