Chapter 168: Hongzhou City Secret Workshop
Lu Zhan walked out of the room and came to the inn lobby below.
I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a steward standing there, and after seeing Lu Zhan, he respectfully handed Lu Zhan a stack of pill coupons, "This is a 1,500 pill coupons of second-grade pills." ”
He said: "This is the cost that Governor Sima Dadu paid you to buy that half of the python skin, you can take these pill coupons and go to the secret workshop in any place in Dachu to cash out the pill." ”
As he spoke, he took out another card that looked very ordinary and handed it to Lu Zhan: "Also, this is a VIP card for the secret workshop, which is exclusively for our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." You can use it to trade in the secret workshop in Hongzhou City, our Sima family has a part of the shares in the secret workshop, so you can enjoy a nine-percent discount with this VIP card to trade; more importantly, you can share some news and information in the secret workshop, these news resources, ordinary people can't buy even if they take money. Most of our governors have taken special care of it, Lu Gongzi has gained a lot from the 'Black Evil Valley' this time, if you feel that it is inconvenient to bring it back to Yunmeng City, you can take the things that are inconvenient to take away to the secret workshop to trade, as long as you take this VIP card, the people in the secret workshop will definitely provide the best service for Lu Gongzi. ”
"Okay, then please thank the Metropolitan Governor for his kindness. Lu Zhan unceremoniously accepted the Dan coupon and VIP card.
The steward smiled again and said, "Our Governor also said that when Gongzi Lu is free in the past few days, he can come to the Governor's Mansion to meet with the Governor; ”
"Well, I'll go to the mansion to visit Sima Dudu when I have the chance. Lu Zhan said, this is not a casual promise, they Lu Mansion wants to have a big expansion and development in the Hongzhou region, if they can get the support of the Sima Mansion, the No. 1 family in Hongzhou, it will be the best.
The steward took the message of the Governor of Sima with him, and then took his leave.
Lu Zhan took those pill coupons back to Zhen Suishu's room, and distributed eight hundred pill coupons of second-level pills and handed them to Zhen Suishu, "Brother Zhen, you accept it, I knew that one giant python could sell so many pill coupons, and we should have slaughtered the other one in the first place." Lu Zhan smiled and picked up the little snow tiger rolling at his feet, sat on the edge of the bed and teased it.
Zhen Suishu accepted the Dan coupon and lamented with a sad face: "I am not as open-minded as Brother Lu, and I have experienced so many terrible things, but I treat it as if nothing happened." I feel terrified when I think about it now, the experience in the 'Black Evil Valley' was like a nightmare walking on the tip of a knife, and if I had to choose again, I probably wouldn't go to the 'Black Evil Valley' to participate in any secret realm meetings. ”
Lu Zhan leaned his face close to the little snow tiger, the little snow tiger stretched out his pink tongue to lick his nose, Lu Zhan smiled and said to Zhen Suishu: "I, I take every adventure as an experience to experience." Often, the greater the risk, the higher the reward, so I have nothing to fear. Besides, if you can't die on the cusp of the storm, surrounded by strong enemies, it's not interesting."
Zhen Sui thought about it carefully when he heard the words, when the two of them faced danger at the same time, they often showed retreat and panic, while Lu Zhan often showed a eager and fearless appearance, which was probably because the two of them had completely different bearings and moods.
Zhen Suishu leaned on the head of the bed and pondered for a while, and asked Lu Zhan, "What are Brother Lu's plans next?"
"Me?" Lu Zhan pursed his mouth and thought for a while, and replied: "I will still stay in Hongzhou City for the next few days, since everyone has already arrived in Hongzhou City, I have to go around and see the world." To be honest, Brother Zhen, don't laugh at me: I have never walked so far, such a prosperous place in my eighteen years since I was a child!"
"It's a pity that I have an injury on my body, and I can't play well with Brother Lu. Zhen Suishu said with a wry smile: "Since all the things here have been settled, I plan to return to Qingcheng tomorrow and go home to recuperate." ”
After saying this, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, and added: "After recovering from my injury, I will definitely work hard and strive for a breakthrough in martial arts practice." If I have the opportunity to fight side by side with Brother Lu in the future, I don't want to be a role that drags you back, hehe. ”
When Lu Zhan heard that Zhen Suishu was going back, he felt a little lost in his heart, he had always been alone all these years, and this time it was rare to meet a close friend, but he was about to part, and he was inevitably a little melancholy.
But he has always been very open-minded about the gathering and dispersion, and after a little melancholy, he smiled high-spiritedly.
In the following time, he accompanied Zhen Suishu and asked him as many questions as he could. Zhen has read a wide range of books and is very knowledgeable, and from his mouth, he can hear many interesting knowledge and anecdotes that he usually does not understand. This Lu Zhan used to think that reading books was a very boring thing except for the book "The Complete Book of Heavenly General Evolution", but listening to Na Zhen talk about the content of the book with the book was very interesting.
In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Suishu hired a light carriage and returned to Linqing City with two retinues.
Lu Zhan sent them to the ten mile long pavilion outside Hongzhou City before he reluctantly waved goodbye to him.
It wasn't until he watched the light carriage disappear into the line between heaven and earth that Lu Zhanfang turned around and walked towards Hongzhou City. Xi Liuzi, who was following him, asked, "Boss, what are you going to do next?" He was already gearing up, ready to indulge.
Lu Zhan walked while thinking about what to do next.
In the past two days, his dantian has been filled with that sense of expansion, and last night he entered the small space in the dantian to wander around, and found that the area of the small space inside has expanded a lot, from the size of a few acres the night before to a dozen acres of square circles, and the brightness of the "bronze fragment" hanging in the sky is also brighter than before.
This shows that the power of the "bronze fragment" is constantly increasing, and the area of the small space is also increasing rapidly.
What surprised him even more was that the qi in his body was also constantly increasing, and there was a sense of pleasure every day.
Lu Zhan had a hunch that with the appearance of the "Bronze Fragment", his martial arts cultivation that had encountered a bottleneck would take a earth-shaking turn.
Since his martial arts attainments and the small space in his body were constantly growing, Lu Zhan felt the need to strengthen and improve his weapons. Especially after realizing that the pseudo-spirit soldiers in the "Black Evil Valley" would have such a powerful killing move as the ultimate killing technique, he was even more looking forward to upgrading his "Cloud Sweeping Gun" to a higher level.
In the description of the upgrade method of the "Cloud Sweeping Electric Gun" left by the third young master Lu San, if you want to upgrade the "Cloud Sweeping Electric Gun" from the middle grade to the top grade, you must have five things: Extremely Cold Ice Flame, Thousand Year Dragon Descending Wood, Red Fire Golden Crystal, Black Core Cloud Ore, and the crystal nucleus of the Thunder Beast. Now he had collected the three things of "Extremely Cold Ice Flame", "Black Core Cloud Ore", and "Crystal Nucleus of Thunder Beast", and there were still two things left, "Thousand Year Dragon Descending Wood" and "Red Fire Golden Crystal".
But where do you get these two things? Yes, of course, you have to go to that place first to try your luck.
"Let's go to the secret workshop of Hongzhou City to have a look. Lu Zhan said to Xi Liuzi: "Since it is the secret workshop of the state city, it must be much larger than the secret workshop of our Yunmeng City, and the goods are more complete." ”
Xi Liuzi was slightly disappointed with Lu Zhan's decision, and he instigated: "Boss, when you get to the state city, you have to go to the land of fireworks and willow lane, that is the real fun place." In the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in the state city, just grab an inferior goods, and it is more delicious and enchanting than the red card of our Yunmengcheng, so I suggest Liuzi, if you want to go, go to the Qinglou to play first, the eyes full of live color and fragrance are always more moving than those goods full of copper smell. ”
"You're impressive. Lu Zhan slapped his forehead: "Look at the women you think about all day long, what benefits can those Qinglou women give you in addition to sucking up your money bag? ”
Xi Liuzi smirked and defended: "Boss, what you said is not right, why don't the women in the Qinglou give me benefits? They can tickle me underneath, can you always use a weapon to make your lower body comfortable? Can't!"
"This ...... You ......" Lu Zhan pointed to his nose and pointed several times, and suddenly found that he couldn't find a word to refute him, so he had to depressively condense the qi machine to make a small air bomb, which shot into Xi Liuzi's stomach and made the most slut and even cheaper guy scream in pain before turning around and leaving.
No matter how wonderful the customs in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion described by Xi Liuzi, Lu Zhan still adheres to his principles, and for this iron-blooded boy, martial arts is the greatest pleasure in life!
He came to the secret workshop in Hongzhou City, located in the center of the city.
This secret workshop is the largest in the entire Hongzhou area, with hundreds of large and small shops lined up on a five-storey floor, and it is a paradise for martial arts practitioners.
If Lu Zhan had been allowed to walk into such a large secret workshop two years ago, he would have been so excited that he would have lost his way. But now it's different, the current Lu Zhan, after more than two years of hard work, his scheming and insight have already surpassed his peers too much, and his vision is naturally amazingly high, and ordinary items are no longer put in his eyes at all, even if a top-level ninth-level weapon is placed in front of him at this time, I'm afraid his eyes won't blink more.
Since meeting Zhen Suishu, he has another idea about "books", he used to think that books only represent pedantic and cowardice. But now he has another understanding in his heart: there are many things that you may not encounter in reality, but you can learn in books, so that you can have a deeper and broader power, which is the power of knowledge.
Therefore, he made a special trip to the various bookstores in the secret workshop for a walk, and bought a few books on the identification of medicinal materials, refining elixirs, weapon forging, and domestication of fierce beasts and evil beasts, so that he could read them in his spare time after returning and increase some knowledge.
After buying these books, he decided to go to the high-ranking people of the secret workshop and inquire if he could buy the two raw materials of "Millennium Dragon Descending Wood" and "Red Fire Golden Crystal". He first inquired with the junior appraisers in the shops below, and learned that the senior appraisers and worshippers of the secret workshop were on the fifth floor, so he walked to the highest floor of the secret workshop.
