Chapter 22: Eat!
In the middle of Anyang City is the Blue Star Academy, where eight major avenues extend the city in all directions, with all kinds of vendors hawking on both sides of the street, and some people pushing small carts to sell their products.
There are many restaurants and shops in the city, and the customers come and go, bustling and lively, and it is clear that business is good. Occasionally, you can see some brothels in Qinglou, and the sound of the glamour is intoxicating.
This is the second time that Ling Hao has wandered around Anyang City, and this time he is accompanied by a person - Dongfang Ke.
After hearing that the elixir refined by Hong Yuzhang was very popular, Ling Hao decided to go and have a look.
Of course, he didn't care about Hong Yuzhang, but wanted to see how capable the "Mixed Yuan Danjue" was, and it could make a Dan Pavilion that no one cared about become known to everyone.
Originally, he wanted to take some time to walk around the city first, and then go to Danyuan Pavilion to see what was going on, so he didn't plan to let Dongfang Ke come with him.
However, after Dongfang Ke learned that he was going to Danyuan Pavilion, he insisted on going with him, as for Ling Hao's desire to take a stroll in the city first, Dongfang Ke also volunteered to be a tour guide.
To have a lady from a family to be his tour guide, of course Ling Hao had no reason to refuse, and besides, there was no unsavory relationship between him and Dongfang Ke, even if they went to Danyuan Pavilion together, it would not be a big deal.
After passing through several wide main avenues and entering the narrower secondary streets, it winds and turns all the way, and after a long time, it finally comes to the front of Danyuan Pavilion.
At this moment, it was already dusk, and there were still three long queues in front of Danyuan Pavilion.
After inquiring, Ling Hao learned that not all of these people had come to find Hong Yuzhang for alchemy. Two of the teams were purely for Hong Yuzhang to help refine the pill, and the other team either wanted to exchange medicinal materials for Xuanjing stone, or they were looking for Hong Yuzhang on business.
At a glance, there was no Hong Yuzhang, but two pill boys, a man and a woman, who were greeting guests.
"Tsk...... The flow of people in this Danyuan Pavilion is probably even greater than that of my Heavenly Dao Hidden Scripture Pavilion!" Ling Hao secretly sighed, under the leadership of Dongfang Ke, he directly entered the Danyuan Pavilion without queuing.
"Sister Dongfang. The two pill boys obviously knew Dongfang Ke, and hurriedly greeted Dongfang Ke.
"Hmm. Dongfang Ke nodded, and asked again: "Brother Hong is still alchemy upstairs?"
"Yes, Sister Dongfang, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the Pavilion Master immediately. The boy said as he went upstairs.
"No, I don't. Ling Hao hurriedly said, "Let him get down to business first, and I'll just sit here for a while." ”
The boy didn't know Ling Hao's identity, he looked sideways at Dongfang Ke, and when he saw Dongfang Ke nodding, he bowed down, returned to his original position, and continued to greet the guests.
After a while, Hong Yuzhang walked down from the second floor, still holding a bottle of elixir in his hand.
It seemed that this bottle of elixir was intended to be given to the guests, but the moment he saw Ling Hao, Hong Yuzhang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly changed his direction, walked towards Ling Hao, and came to Ling Hao to bow down.
"Master, please bow to the apprentice!" Hong Yuzhang's words and deeds were very respectful, even if he was watched by everyone, he did not feel ashamed at all.
"This ...... I'm not mistaken, right? That person turned out to be Master Hong's master?"
"To be able to cultivate an alchemy master like Master Hong, what is that person's identity?"
"It can't be the Dan King from a certain big sect, right? I'm afraid only the legendary Dan King can have this means. ”
"Tsk...... I'll just say, in the past, this Danyuan Pavilion was ordinary, and basically no one paid attention to it, but now this business is so hot, how can there be no high-level fingers behind it?"
"Master Hong is really lucky, he can become the apprentice of King Dan, and I don't know if this King Dan will accept apprentices, I also want to worship him as a teacher. ”
......
The crowd in line in front of the Danyuan Pavilion was full of discussions, and for a while, Ling Hao had also changed from an ordinary young man who did not attract much attention to him to the legendary Dan King who was unfathomable and could refine high-grade pills.
"When did I become your master?" Ling Hao was a little confused, he just came to see the situation of Danyuan Pavilion, he didn't expect Hong Yuzhang to come like this.
Hearing Ling Hao's words, Hong Yuzhang thought he was angry, so he didn't dare to raise his head, and carefully explained: "You gave me the Dan Jue, which is like a grace to me for recreation, although I have not formally apprenticed to my master, but in my heart, you are already my master." ”
"Ahem, a few glances at the Mixed Yuan Danjue is the grace of recreation?" Ling Hao was a little speechless in his heart, when did he become so tall?
After thinking about it, he raised his hand and said, "You get up first, you can get busy with what you need to be busy first, and then talk slowly when you are done with something." ”
He can't explain the matter of "Mixed Yuan Danjue", this Danjue is indeed very rebellious, if it is said that Danjue is ordinary, Danyuan Pavilion's business is booming, and it all depends on Hong Yuzhang's management, it is impossible to say it in any case.
What's more, the identity of his predecessor has been confirmed, and no matter how much he denies it now, others will not believe it, just like his explanation of Zhou Ziheng and Dongfang Ke has no effect.
Because of this, instead of wasting time and letting everyone outside the door see the jokes, it is better to let Hong Yuzhang get up first, wait for everyone to leave, and then talk slowly about something.
Hearing Ling Hao's order, Hong Yuzhang hurriedly got up, just wanted to go busy with his own affairs, stopped again, looked at Ling Hao, held the pill bottle in his hand, handed it with both hands, his face turned red, and said slightly nervously: "Master, this is the pill that the apprentice has just refined, and I hope you will give me some advice." ”
"You seem to be kidding me! I can't even understand the "Mixed Yuan Danjue", how can I give you some advice?" Ling Hao secretly slandered.
After hesitating for a moment, he still took the jade bottle, opened the cork and smelled it, nodded and said, "It is full of color, flavor and taste, and it can be eaten!"
"Yes...... Can you eat ......?" Hong Yuzhang looked confused, could it be that the elixir he had worked so hard to refine was just as simple as being able to eat in the eyes of his master?
"It seems that my alchemy level is still far behind, and I have to work harder in the future. Hong Yuzhang was depressed and couldn't help but think secretly.
"Okay, you go get busy first, let's talk about what we're done. Ling Hao returned the jade bottle.
"Yes. Hong Yuzhang nodded, then turned around and got busy with his own affairs.
In the tavern opposite Danyuan Pavilion, a young man in white took in the scene in the attic, and at the end, he turned back to the middle-aged man with a small goatee behind him and said, "What is the identity of that young man? Why does Hong Yuzhang bow down to him?"
From a long distance, he could only see a scene in the Dan Pavilion, but he didn't know what the two were talking about, seeing Hong Yuzhang bowing down to Ling Hao, he was also a little more curious about Ling Hao's identity.
The middle-aged man with the goatee pondered for a moment and replied, "Hong Yuzhang's Dan Jue comes from that young man, and some people suspect that he is the legendary Dan King. ”
"The legendary Dan King?" the white-clothed young man sneered, noncommittal.
