Chapter 717: Dream Flower (1st Update)
The meeting in Yongsong House lasted until the evening, when the curfew was coming and the business to be talked about was over.
When everyone came down, the whole restaurant was empty, the guys were cleaning inside and out, and the fat restaurant shopkeeper was waiting downstairs, wiping sweat, but he didn't dare to be impatient.
It is a great honor for his restaurant to be patronized by a group of bigwigs such as Jindan Zhenren and the chief alchemy master of the Danshi Guild.
"Little Li Yongsong, can the seniors eat?" As soon as the fat shopkeeper saw everyone coming down, he hurriedly moved his Roshan over, with a flattering greeting on his face.
Everyone looked at him, but most of them didn't say anything.
However, Huang Liheng of Babaotang smiled, patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, and said, "Yes, the signature dishes of Yongsong Building are still a little special. β
The fat shopkeeper was immediately flattered, and said again and again: "Senior Huang likes it, but I'm afraid that I won't greet him well." β
Hong Boran was lazy and nonsense, and sent a message to a person in the restaurant, and the person immediately came to settle the bill. However, this fat shopkeeper said that he would not charge any money, and said that the patronage of several big people in this restaurant was already a great blessing.
Everyone also laughed and didn't care.
For them, it is rare to come to Yongsong Restaurant once, and perhaps, there will be no next time.
When they left the restaurant, they separated.
Hong Boran did not walk in the sky, but walked to the street quite leisurely. Behind him, there were two retinues leading the three green beasts, and they followed without saying a word.
Curfew, for most monks and mortals, is serious, but for Jindan Zhenren and a class of people with great privileges. It doesn't matter if it's there or not, unless it's the lord of the castle who investigates it. Otherwise, the enforcers of the City Lord's Mansion would not be able to help them.
Hong Boran was walking when he saw two teams of law enforcers passing by. When they saw that it was him, they ignored him. These law enforcers knew Hong Boran, so they naturally didn't dare to come forward to disturb him.
After a while, a person appeared on the side of the street, it was Huang Liheng from Babaotang, standing with a smile.
Remember, Huang Liheng left in the opposite direction from this time.
Hong Boran was not surprised, just nodded and got closer. Only then did he smile. Chuanyin said: "This time I have to ask the yellow shopkeeper for this matter." β
Huang Liheng smiled and said, "Hong Zhenren is the guest elder of Babaotang, this is unanimously approved by the elders of the headquarters, and Babaotang will definitely give full support to his own people." From now on, Hong Zhenren's status is higher than mine. β
"However, Hong Zhenren has thought of a way to eradicate Yonghetang?"
Hong Boran smiled confidently and said, "Naturally." β
"Oh?"
"But this requires the cooperation of the shopkeeper Huang, and I can't trust others. β
"That's fine. As long as I can do it. I must fight to the end. Hong Zhenren, what can you do?"
"Shopkeeper Huang has heard of the Dream Flower?" Hong Boran said.
"Dream Flower?" Huang Liheng was stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, what is this? As the shopkeeper of the time-honored Babaotang Qingzhou Branch, there are few medicinal materials that he does not know.
Hong Boran is in a good mood. Yin smiled coldly and said, "Sure enough, even the shopkeeper Huang doesn't know what to do." That's good. β
A trace of embarrassment immediately flashed on Huang Liheng's face, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. However, as a businessman. The thickness of the skin is definitely comparable to the city wall, which is exercised.
He immediately humbly asked, "Hong Zhenren, what does this dream flower have to do with Yonghetang?"
"Regarding the dream flower, the shopkeeper Huang will know it when he goes back to check, so I don't want to say more. Hong Boran did not explain, and directly made a request. "I'm going to hold a 'treasure auction' at Babaotang, and one of them is the 'Dream Flower'. β
Huang Liheng frowned and said, "Hong Zhenren, with all due respect to Huang, there is no dream flower in Babaotang at all. β
"Don't you have the headquarters of Babaotang? I don't believe that. Hong Boran sneered.
"Headquarters?" Huang Liheng was suddenly entangled, feeling that Hong Boran was making a big fuss. "To deal with Yonghetang and a foundation building monk, if you need to use the resources of the headquarters, is this-"
In order to extract resources from the headquarters, it is necessary for the headquarters to send people to enter Qingzhou through the teleportation array, and the teleportation array must be used once, and the cost of low-grade yuan crystals is not a small amount.
Cross-border one-way teleportation array, that formation is extremely complex, it has existed since ancient times, and a group of formation grandmasters can't build it. The teleportation array between cities is a small teleportation array, which is much rougher in comparison, and the longest distance is 100,000 li.
A teleportation costs 500 lower-grade Yuan Crystals.
With so many low-grade Yuan Crystal Stones, it is also a huge expense for Jindan Zhenren, and there is also a limit to the number of people that can be teleported at one time in a small teleportation array. It is precisely because of this that at the beginning, the five Jindan real people from Shanhai City rushed to the aid of Qingzhou, and they were also driving large flying boats, rather than riding the teleportation array. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Qingzhou has a large protective array, and those who rushed to help knew that although Qingzhou was in danger, it was not in danger of being destroyed for a while.
In this way, after driving the large flying boat, this low-grade Yuan Crystal can be saved, and it will go into the pockets of five Jindan real people.
"I don't care about the process, I want the result. Hong Boran snorted. "It's done, I will naturally fulfill the contract and truly become the guest elder of the Eight Treasures Hall, if it doesn't work, then I will break up. β
Huang Liheng's heart was shocked, hesitated, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, but Hong Zhenren, this matter has a huge price, and it is estimated that the headquarters will have to discuss it, and it will take a month." β
Finding an Elder Keqing was an extremely important matter for him. Because within the scope of the Golden Claw Condor Castle, every time a Jindan real person comes out, it is a big thing, and many powerful forces will come to win it over. He wooed Hong Boran, but fortunately he was the first to come to the door, and it took a huge amount of effort and cost to convince him.
Once he succeeds in convincing, sign the contract, and the headquarters will give him a huge reward.
It's just that what he can't understand is that Hong Boran is already a real person of Jindan, but he is so jealous of a monk who has not yet advanced to Jindan, and spends so much money and painstaking efforts to eradicate it.
In Huang Liheng's opinion, an alchemy master who has built a foundation and cultivated a foundation is not worth spending so much.
But in order to win over Hong Boran, he had to do this.
As everyone knows. Hong Boran's hatred for Zhang Weidong can no longer be released. Every time I hear about the situation of Yonghe Hall. He was in a bad mood and couldn't calm down. And so on. Once the demons in his heart grow, he is likely to be in danger of going mad.
It's a dead knot that can't be reconciled.
The two broke up on the street, Huang Liheng didn't have the slightest interest in wandering around, and went back to Babaotang directly.
As soon as he came back, Huang Liheng went to the secret room.
There was only one lump in the empty chamber, but it was a cover-up. Huang Liheng had an extra jade talisman in his hand, and as soon as his true qi was stimulated, he seemed to be connected with a certain portal in the secret room. An illusory door appeared one person tall, and he stepped inside.
The fragrance of birds and flowers is not enough to describe the changes after a portal, this is actually a small space, a small place isolated by the formation, there are flowers and butterflies, mountains and rivers, and a house, the vitality is extremely strong, no worse than many other courtyards in Qingzhou.
Meantime. This is also the place where Huang Liheng retreats and cultivates. Everything in the Chamber of Secrets is just an illusion.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a group of sound transmission arrays levitating, emitting a faint light.
Huang Liheng pinched a seal and immediately activated the sound transmission array.
A moment later. A majestic voice sounded in the transmission array: "Liheng, what's the matter?"
"Back to Elder Qi, the disciple would like to ask for advice. What is the Flower of Dreams. Huang Liheng asked respectfully.
"Dream Flower?You found a Dream Flower over there?!" Elder Qi's tone was full of excitement.
Obviously, this dream flower is very unusual. Otherwise. It wouldn't have made Elder Qi so moved.
This was immediately judged by Huang Liheng.
"Elder Qi, the disciple doesn't have a dream flower. But here's the thing-" Huang Liheng said Hong Boran's request, and said at the end: "The disciple thinks that Hong Zhenren's move is a little inappropriate, but he just asked for it, and it seems that there is no room for negotiation." β
Elder Qi sighed in disappointment and said, "How much do you know about that alchemy master in Yonghe Hall?"
Huang Liheng understood what Elder Qi meant, and the latter was weighing the gains and losses.
He said without hesitation: "According to the disciple's estimate, this person's alchemy level should be no worse than that of Tong Chun of the Qingzhou Dan Master Guild, and he can refine the high-grade 'Creation Pill', which should be above the middle stage of the master." It is rumored that this person may be a top alchemy master, however, Yonghetang does not accept orders for Jindan-level elixirs, and the disciples do not know the truth of the Dao, so they have no way to study it. β
"You can refine the top-grade 'Creation Pill', this level is indeed no less than Tong Chun, but the top alchemy masters are not so easy to achieve. According to your estimates, can this person be co-opted into the Eight Treasure Hall?" Elder Qi said with a deep groan.
Huang Liheng was stunned, a little ashamed.
It seems that so far, he has not thought about co-opting, but suppressing.
"That Hong Zhenren's sideβ" Huang Liheng said thoughtfully. "According to the disciple's estimate, there is a big gap between this person and Hong Zhenren, and it is almost difficult to reconcile. β
A real person in the early stage of Jindan, an alchemy master with a promising future who can refine the high-grade 'Creation Pill', who should he choose, where to go, Huang Liheng did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only ask the high-level of the Eight Treasures Hall.
"Oh, what about your inclinations?"
"The disciple chooses Hong Zhenren. β
"Why?"
"Hong Zhenren conditionally agreed to sign a contract, and we in Babaotang can bear it, but the person in Yonghetang has little hope. Huang Liheng said.
According to Yonghetang's unyielding performance during this time, Zhang Weidong should be a hard stubble. Now that Hong Boran has paid such a big price to be hostile, he is obviously not a good person.
Although, Zhang Weidong's alchemy level is very high, not inferior to the influence of a Jindan real person. But there is venture capital in business, and businessmen prefer to see and touch things.
"Then do what you want. Elder Qi said.
Huang Liheng said gratefully: "Thank you Elder Qi for your trust, the disciple will definitely handle this matter well." β
"Well, the dream flower is not trivial, there are two in the headquarters, but this matter has to be discussed by the elders, it should not be a big problem, and there will be results in half a month. β
"Yes, everything is up to Elder's arrangement. The disciple won a month from Hong Zhenren. In addition, if possible, the disciple would like to ask the headquarters to support this auction, what grade to set-"
"So be it. β
The transfiguration array is closed.
During this conversation, Huang Liheng still didn't know what the Dream Flower of the Dao Dao was, but he also heard that this thing was very precious, precious enough to move the high-level officials of the Eight Treasure Hall.
In half a month, it's time for this thing to arrive in Qingzhou.
"For the sake of prudence, it is better to wait for the Dream Flower to arrive in Qingzhou before publicizing it. Now, it is possible to carry out some preliminary planning, well, the light weight of the treasure can not be on the table. However, with the support of the headquarters, presumably the level of the auction will also be considered. β
Huang Liheng didn't leave the room, just sat cross-legged inside and practiced all night. (To be continued......)
