As Lin Chuxue said, Hong Feng's bad reputation is already well-known in the capital, and there is not much more. Provoke the Hundred Treasure Pavilion without knowing whether to live or die, although stupid, it is not a big deal. After all, Baibao Pavilion would not take action against Hong Feng as an ignorant child just because of his disrespectful words. In fact, what people didn't know was that Hong Feng's words and deeds not only did not anger Baibao Pavilion, but instead brought him into the sight of some well-intentioned people.

After Hong Feng left, at the auction venue, an old man in a robe appeared from the darkness and walked to Shui Yao's side.

"Elder Zheng, why do you want to show favor to Hong Feng?" Although it can't be said to be a big favor to sell the delayed Tongluo Grass to him at the price that Hong Feng originally auctioned, it is enough to show Baibao Pavilion's attitude, "I think, isn't it more useful to give the Tongluo Grass to Li Lan?"

The old man known as "Elder Zheng" shook his head lightly: "We are businessmen, and everything is based on interests. But only those small businessmen will only care about the immediate profits. The three Tongluo grasses are nothing, but Feng Shao needs it, and Li Shao just wants to fight with Feng Shao. Give the right thing to those who need it, and the value of that thing will be magnified. Moreover, in my opinion, Feng Shao is more valuable than Li Shao for investment. ”

"The Hong family is also supported by the torrent, which is very dangerous in this struggle, on the contrary, the Seventh Prince is very likely to win, and the Li family will also rise because of this. The younger generation of the Hong family and the Li family have no outstanding talents, Hong Feng said that he is an alchemist, but so what, the alchemists who have not reached the high level grab a handful. I really don't see the need for that. ”

Elder Zheng's old eyes shone with a fierce light, he was sent here to take on the mission of cultivating Shui Yao: "Miss, do you know that the other two families in the Central Plains District and our Hundred Treasure Pavilion were not Piaoxiang Building and Tian Xuanmen? In fact, although the three major forces have always been three-legged, but the other two have changed many times, why is it that only our Hundred Treasure Pavilion has stood for thousands of years since the end of ancient times? It's not that our Hundred Treasure Pavilion is really that powerful, otherwise we would have unified the Central Plains District a long time ago." We've only been able to thrive because we're in business. Ordinary merchants bought and sold goods, medium merchants participated in the economy, and high-level merchants were able to penetrate people's hearts. We have been passed down from generation to generation since our ancestors, and we have cultivated a 'business eye' since childhood, and the business eye that we have cultivated can not only see through the essence, but also see through the future. The business eye is an intuition, a sensitivity, that requires a lot of experience and enough time. Miss, you still have a long way to go. ”

Although Shui Yao has outstanding cultivation talent and is also very intelligent, she is young after all. asked her to be the head of the Imperial Capital Pavilion at the age of nineteen, just to let her experience more and become a "business eye". Elder Zheng's responsibility is to nurture her, and to help make decisions at critical times so that she doesn't make mistakes.

"Although Elder Zheng is very optimistic about that Hong Feng, I don't like him very much. Shui Yao didn't understand much about what Elder Zheng said, even though she had been educated like this since she was a child. She couldn't see what future Hong Feng could have, and she didn't like Hong Feng very much physiologically.

"There's no need to like him, we're just doing business with them, not talking about feelings with them. Businessmen are very taboo with subjective feelings, whether they like it or dislike it, it may cause damage to our interests. Of course, top businessmen can do business with feelings, naturally, but I haven't found anyone who can reach that level. After Elder Zheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shui Yao to reply, and disappeared into the darkness again.

On the other side, Hong Feng, who had returned to the Hong Mansion, began to prepare for alchemy. The grade of Zhuji Dan is not high, but Hong Feng is also refining for the first time, so he is not sure. Because there were three Tongluo grasses, Hong Feng prepared three side medicines, and then went to his second uncle to ask for permission to extract medicinal herbs. Because Hong Qingtian is that kind of character, the trivial affairs of the Hong Mansion are under the control of Hong Qingyun. Hongfu has its own alchemy industry, and Juxuangen is also a relatively precious medicinal material, and the extraction of medicinal materials must be licensed.

"Feng'er can also refine the pill?" Hong Qingyun looked at Hong Feng with some surprise, very surprised.

Hong Feng told Hong Qingyun that he was an alchemist, otherwise he would not be able to ask for Ju Xuangen. After all, in order to go out and spend time drinking, Hong Feng often went to the pharmacy in Hongfu to ask for some precious medicinal materials to sell them. It is precisely because of this that Hong Feng must have Hong Qingyun's permission to take things from his family's property.

Hong Feng nodded: "It's probably a third-grade mid-grade alchemist, because I haven't been to the alchemist union for identification, so it's not very clear." "The level of the alchemist is the same as the elixir, there are seven levels, and each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. As for the mysteries, they are different, there are mortals, treasures, spirits, etc., and each is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Both alchemists and refiners have their own trade unions, and the trade unions are managed by Tian Xuanmen.

"Not bad. Hong Qingyun nodded appreciatively, "You can't cultivate, it's okay to be an alchemist." I'll say hello over there, and in the future, if you need alchemy, just go directly to the pharmacy to get the medicinal materials. Feng'er has become much more sensible since that incident, and we will not restrict you more in the future, relying on your own self-control. ”

Hong Feng didn't know how much meaning Hong Qingyun's words had, so he handed the treasure map from the auction to Hong Qingyun: "Second uncle, this." ”

Hong Qingyun took the treasure map, and the incident at the auction of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion reached his ears as soon as it happened, so he also knew about the treasure map: "I will let the people in my family study it, and I will give you a copy after redrawing." By the way, Feng'er, I still have something to ask you!"

"Second uncle, just say it!"

"Ziyan has no mother since she was a child, and her personality is withdrawn, and I have been busy with the affairs of Hongfu and have never accompanied her. I can tell that her heart has been getting heavier and heavier since this time. As an older brother, if you have time, you must explain her well, even if it is to talk to her. ”

When Hong Feng heard that it was this, he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's too late for her to avoid me...... However, I'll do my best!" "When Sakura's inheritance is over, let Sakura go and play with her, their sisters should be a little easier to talk to."

Bidding farewell to Hong Qingyun, Hong Feng returned to the small courtyard. Originally, he planned to go to his room as soon as possible to refine Jidan, but he saw Hong Ziyan in the courtyard again. Hong Feng is not good at interpersonal communication. This is not surprising, because of Hong Feng's previous life, he has only had superficial contact with people. The only person he really dated was his master. There is no reason for such Hong Feng to cross over, and he will immediately master the skills of communication.

Baibao Pavilion showed favor to himself, originally Hong Feng could use this opportunity to have a good relationship with them, but Hong Feng only said that he would remember this favor, which was very disadvantageous. You must know that if you want to become strong and strong enough not to be controlled by others, it is not enough for one person to be strong. Those top powerhouses either have their own power or their own networks. To dominate a world on one's own strength is something that only God can do, and that's extraordinary. Not to mention that Hong Feng is still just starting out, he needs strong support at this time. He can't make friends, in the eyes of others, he is so arrogant that he doesn't want to make friends with people, so it's strange that Baibaoge has a good impression of him. The perverse and withdrawn character of his previous life is no longer applicable, but Hong Feng can't easily correct it.

Although Hong Feng's views on psychology and philosophy have his own uniqueness, it is really difficult for him to enlighten Hong Ziyan, who is not good at communication.

Hong Ziyan is different from Hong Ying, she has no amnesia, and has always retained her bad feelings for Hong Feng, the young man. She was also a withdrawn person, and she was more vigilant against people with bad feelings, I am afraid that Hong Feng would not be able to get close to her, let alone let her listen to Hong Feng's persuasion. Moreover, Hong Feng didn't know what Hong Ziyan was thinking, and he couldn't do anything to explain her.

In short, let's talk casually, if she can take care of herself, there is hope, and she will gradually go deeper and take her time in the future. Paying attention, Hong Feng approached Hong Ziyan. Of course, it was said that it was approaching, but in fact, it did not invade Hong Ziyan's "private space", and stopped at a foot away from her.

"Sister Ziyan, what are you thinking?" Hong Feng tried to talk to Hong Ziyan.

But Hong Ziyan looked up at the sky in the distance intently, as if he ignored Hong Feng, without the slightest waver.

Hong Feng remembered Hong Ying's speculation, could it be that Hong Ying guessed correctly, she was thinking about her mother?

"I also like to look at the sky, like someone I love, on the other side of the light blue...... But ah, I'll retract my gaze after that and look at the people around me. Because whether it's the world over there or the world here, there are people I love, and I like them all. You can't just look at what you're pursuing, and forget about the happiness around you, and when the happiness around you is lost, you can repeat nostalgia and regret. That's not right, it will only make everyone miserable......" Hong Feng remembered himself and didn't say any more. Regardless of Hong Ziyan's reaction, he went straight back to his own room.
