Chapter 25 Entering Chonghua
An hour and a half later, Fan Qingyao came back, still carrying a small bag in her hand, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on her body, it seemed that she should have drunk a little.
"Childe." Fan Qingyao sat down opposite Lin Lan and said, "The dishes here in Jingzhou are really the same as the legend, there are more sweet and spicy dishes, or Mingyan dishes are delicious, let's go back and recruit a chef who understands Mingyan cuisine, okay?" ”
Lin Lan opened his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and said, "Whatever you want." ”
"Childe hasn't eaten much since he started cultivating." Fan Qingyao said helplessly: "Every time I order a good dish, I am the only one who eats it, and when others see it, they think I don't understand the order of master and servant." ”
Lin Lan said softly: "Eating and drinking is just for the sake of satisfying the stomach, the pill of Bigu is enough, and the diet is more balanced, and there is no need to be as troublesome as the reincarnation of grains." ”
Bigu's Bailiang Dan is actually a compressed food, but it is purer, in the words of the previous life, it is more thoroughly absorbed, and the trace elements contained in it are also relatively complete, which is more beneficial to health.
It is most suitable for a person like him who cultivates mana and needs a lot of essence.
Otherwise, ordinary food alone would be too slow.
The downside is that the taste is average.
"Okay, Childe, you're right."
Fan Qingyao puffed out her mouth, picked up the small package next to her, and while untying it, she said, "By the way, Childe, I bought a few bottles of pills from Sister Yan, and she said that these are applicable to you now, can you take a look?" ”
"She sold you the pill?" Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Fan Qingyao put the pills on the table next to her one by one, and said: "There are two kinds of pills, one is the Bailiang Pill you are eating now, she said that this is the most suitable Bigu Pill to provide essence when cultivating mana in the early stage, these three bottles are Xuancao Dew, she said that they are used to live flesh and blood." ”
"Brown grass dew?"
Lin Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had seen this kind of elixir in the books left by the Demon Heavenly Master, the Bailiang Pill was the most suitable elixir for cultivating mana in the early stage, and the Xuancao Dew was the most suitable external medicine for cultivating the physical body method in the early stage.
He was indeed about to start this stage of his cultivation, and the auxiliary external medicine he wanted in his heart was indeed Xuancao Dew, which exactly needed three bottles.
And this Yan Xuezheng happened to provide this elixir, and it seemed that he knew his cultivation.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Lan suddenly said softly: "It seems that the Tsing Yi coachman next to her is really not an ordinary person. ”
"Huh?" Fan Qingyao couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What does it have to do with that coachman?" ”
"When she first saw me, she obviously didn't see anything, and she didn't mean to be friends with me." Lin Lan said softly: "But now that I have suddenly changed my attitude and know my cultivation progress, it was naturally told to her by the Tsing Yi coachman beside her." ”
He still remembered that when the coachman in Tsing Yi looked at him, it was different from the others, it was a curious look.
"How much did you spend on these pills?" Lin Lan asked.
"Four thousand taels, Xuancao dew is more expensive, one thousand taels a bottle." Fan Qingyao replied: "But there is still a lot of silver that my father gave me before leaving." ”
Lin Lan nodded slightly and said, "I didn't give favors at will, and the family's cultivation is still good." ”
Fan Qingyao was stunned and asked, "Childe, is that cheap or expensive?" ”
"Not expensive and not cheap, normal price." Lin Lan thought back to the notes left by the Demon Heavenly Master, and said, "However, this rare commodity is not easy to buy, and the price is generally inflated, which can be regarded as a little favor from her." ”
Fan Qingyao sighed and said, "However, at the banquet just now, Sister Yan and I introduced a lot of things about the Chonghua Academy, not only the entrance assessment, but also after admission, I also helped Gongzi ask about the 'Seven Holy Grass Hall', do you want to listen to it now?" ”
"Well, you say." Lin Lan closed his eyes slightly.
Under the shroud of tranquility, in addition to practicing quickly, the mood is also clear and quiet, the thinking seems to be unusually jumpy and lively, and the memory is amazingly good, which is the most suitable for practice or thinking.
However, in this state, it is also possible to trigger the 'Foresight Endgame' at any time.
……
The night passed.
In the early morning of the next day, the Fanjia convoy left Taiping County with Yannan's troika and headed for Chonghua City, the imperial capital.
Chonghua City is only more than forty miles away from Taiping County, and the official road is open all the way, only two or three hours later, when Fan Qingyao heard the sound and lifted the curtain and looked at it with some excitement, he saw the city wall in front of him that stretched for an unknown number of miles.
Although they are so far apart, you can't see the end of the city wall whether you look to the left or right, and the city wall is so high that you have to raise your neck to see the castle tower above, and this huge city wall stands quietly in front of you like a cliff.
This majestic city, which has stood for thousands of years, suddenly made Fanqingyao's eyes widen and he couldn't finish watching.
Lin Lan also looked at it twice before continuing to practice.
In previous lives, I was used to seeing skyscrapers, so it was naturally not surprising that a city wall of this height was not surprising, but in this kind of ancient science and technology, I am afraid that such an exaggerated city wall could not be built by manpower alone, and it should be the participation of cultivators.
It is rumored that Chonghua City has 360 squares, 30 or 40 miles wide, supporting millions of people to live and reproduce in it, and a single city is enough to rival some large counties.
However, the foundation of Dingding is eternal, the infinite industry is in Si, Dayu as a great unified dynasty, the capital built is naturally not an ordinary city, even if it has experienced many turbulences over the past few hundred years, and even to the point of almost national annihilation, Chonghua City is still standing, presumably there must be something special.
The carriage and ox cart of the Fan family followed Yannan's four-horse carriage all the way to one of the thirty-six doorways in the north of the city, and after easily passing through the long doorway of the city gate, they rushed to Wenhuafang in the east of the imperial city.
The Imperial City stood on the north, and the Mandarin Place was close to the Imperial City, so the distance was not too far, so it was only a few wide streets, and it didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of a mansion in the Mandarin Square.
This time, Lin Lan restrained his quiet mood in advance, and after the carriage stopped, he got out of the carriage directly and sat in a wheelchair again.
Although the Qing Jingyi has been temporarily reined, it is better to move less, otherwise the time for the Qing Jingyi to converge will also become shorter, and when the time comes, you will either enter the cultivation state or let the Qing Jingyi disperse.
"I thought I would have to wait for you a little longer, but this time the work was quite fast?"
Yan Nan looked at Lin Lan, a smile on his lips, "It's been a long time since I've seen someone practicing the Jinggong method, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
Lin Lan knew that she had obviously heard Fan Qingyao explain that this was caused by cultivation, so she thought that he was cultivating the Jinggong method.
Ordinary meditation methods, when meditating without moving, can indeed make them a little more efficient, but in front of his methods, there is nothing to compare.
Moreover, there are quite a lot of restrictions on Jinggong, just for that little efficiency, naturally few people practice.
"This is the Chonghua Hall."
Yan Nan pointed to the plaque at the door of the mansion and explained casually: "The people who came from all over the country live in the nearby state guild halls, and the Yuan Sheng of my Chonghua Academy Palace came to participate in the entrance examination, so they all live in this Chonghua guild hall. ”
As he spoke, the door to the mansion opened.
A middle-aged man in a white robe and a crown hat walked out with a few subordinates, walked quickly in front of Yan Nan, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Yan Xuezheng, why did you come here in person?" ”
"It's just to send two Yuansheng over."
Yan Nan said casually: "Steward Xiao, you go and arrange a courtyard with a better environment, either Changhu Garden or Li Chunyuan." ”
"This ......" Steward Xiao said with some embarrassment: "There are people in Changhu Yuan and Li Chunyuan, and His Royal Highness King Ning lives in Changhu Yuan, and His Royal Highness also ordered that Li Chunyuan be arranged to another Yuansheng. ”
"Oh? Although His Royal Highness King Ning is this Yuansheng, how can he come to the guild hall if he doesn't live in King Ning's mansion? Yan Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Xia Guan doesn't know very well, but His Royal Highness King Ning came over this morning." Steward Xiao said respectfully.
Yan Nan didn't care either, so he said, "Then arrange another courtyard." ”
Steward Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Qingsu Garden is still empty, although it is a little off, but the environment is elegant and quite quiet, do you think this is good?" ”
Yan Nan turned his head to look at Fan Qingyao and asked, "How?" ”
Fan Qingyao looked at Lin Lan and said, "Childe decides." ”
Lin Lan snorted: "It's all right." ”
Yan Nan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
