At the Yunzhou Ferry in Qingyang City, Zhou Chen and the four of them stood in front of the Yunzhou stairs, standing in front of them was Zhou Zhen, and behind them were several core figures of the Zhou family, they looked at Zhou Chen, and their faces were a little gloomy.

Zhou Zhen held Zhou Chen's wrists tightly with both hands, trembling constantly, with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen'er, are you really leaving?" ”

Zhou Chen's eyes were moist, he held back his tears, squeezed out a slight smile, and said: "Grandpa, it's time for me to go, I'm going to find my father, I believe they must be fine, Qingyang City is my home, I will come back, I will come back with them." ”

The tears in Zhou Zhen's eyes couldn't hold back anymore, they overflowed directly, two lines of old tears slid down his cheeks, his son and daughter-in-law hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and now his own grandson was leaving him again, and his heart was full of endless pain.

Zhou Zhen knew that Zhou Chen's journey this time must be extremely dangerous, and the grandfather and grandson didn't know if they could have a reunion, but he also knew that this was Zhou Chen's way, his ability was limited, and he couldn't accompany Zhou Chen to go on, so he could only silently pray for Zhou Chen's safety in his heart.

"Senior, I know you can hear it, I beg you to protect my grandson, Zhou Zhen is here to thank you!" Zhou Zhen bowed deeply to the void, he didn't know what Lie Tianzun was, and he didn't know where he was, Zhou Chen just mentioned it to him, and his master had always been by his side.

It is not a secret that Zhou Chen is followed by a master, and even Zhou Lianyi and the three of them know it, so they know who Zhou Zhen is bowing to, but everyone in the Zhou family is confused and a little confused.

Lie Tianzun has been out of the world for I don't know how many years, he has completely forgotten the taste of life and death, and it is difficult to leave, but at this time he is also a little moved, the top of the martial arts, he has stepped on, immortal, he has lived long enough, looking back on the past at this moment, there is no one close to him, cultivating and cultivating, cultivating to the end, only himself, the price of immortality is loneliness, endless loneliness, Lie Tianzun does not know whether the road he took is right or wrong, but fortunately, he met Zhou Chen, His only apprentice, maybe he won't have to be lonely on the road to immortality in the future.

"Don't worry!" Lie Tianzun transmitted his voice to Zhou Zhen and said, and Zhou Chen naturally heard this, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lie Tianzun to respond to Zhou Zhen.

When Zhou Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and the worry in his heart was reduced a little, he let go of the hands holding Zhou Chen, looked at him kindly and said, "Go, child, grandpa is waiting for you in Qingyang City!" ”

Zhou Chen stared at Zhou Zhen's face tightly, his lips pursed slightly, as if he wanted to imprint every line and wrinkle on Zhou Zhen's body in his heart.

After a long time, Zhou Chen resolutely turned around and stepped on the ladder of the cloud boat, the tears on his cheeks rolling down like transparent pearls.

……

Leaving the Zhou family, Zhou Chen can really embark on his own martial arts journey at this moment, the worries in his heart have been let go, leaving only the fetters of blood, from now on Zhou Chen will fight for himself and break out of a vast world of his own.

On the cloud boat, everyone looked at Zhou Chen, who was in a somewhat gloomy mood, and didn't dare to say much, just quietly doing his own thing on the side, Xiao Hei lay in the corner and slept quietly, this is its cultivation method.

Zhang Erbao continued to depict the rune seal, before he had practiced the rune seal to the second level, but it was too expensive to sprint to the third-level rune seal, he really couldn't help it, fortunately, Zhou Chen gave him a lot of rune paper in the past few days, enough for him to practice to the third level, he planned to practice the rune seal to the fourth level before entering the puppet secret realm, but this is a little difficult, but Zhang Erbao has already experienced the benefits of the rune seal, there are many types of rune seals, there are attacking the enemy, and there are also those who enhance themselves, through continuous practice, they are proficient in the use of runes, and they are reasonably matched with their own hidden assassination techniques, can be taken for unexpected effects.

Zhou Lianyi is studying the novella of "Formation Experience" that Zhou Chen just gave him, which records the layout methods of many fifth- and sixth-level formations, including some skills and knowledge that are worth learning, in this four-person group, Zhou Zhouchen is the core, Liu Dahai is the physical cultivation, and can block the front, Zhang Erbao is an assassin, his instantaneous killing skills will bring huge psychological pressure to the enemy, and Zhou Lianyi is the weakest of the four, but as long as his formation can be used for enough time, the power and killing efficiency are definitely not weak, Therefore, Zhou Lianyi is also very clear about his position in the team.

"The sea, this is for you." Zhou Chen took out a rubbing martial arts cheats from the ring, it was the book "Seven Turns Thunder Dragon Body", which was not given to Liu Dahai before because Zhou Chen had not practiced it himself, and he didn't know whether it was suitable for Liu Dahai, and he hadn't found a place for the thunder to gather.

Liu Dahai took the cheats, turned them page by page, looked carefully, his face was full of surprise, he could see the extraordinaryness of this cheats.

"This is an alchemy technique, it is very strong, it will be of great help to you to improve the strength of your physical body, when we arrive in Thundercloud City, you will go to the Thundercloud Mountain Range to cultivate, with your current physical strength to withstand the tempering of the power of thunder, it should be no problem, I have made a detailed note on it, at least it can help you cultivate to the second level, and we will wait for you in Qinglan City." Zhou Chen patted Liu Dahai's broad shoulder and said.

Liu Dahai nodded solemnly, from a certain point of view, Zhou Chen is not only his brother, but also one of his martial arts instructors, Zhou Chen has not only been trying to find a way to activate the power of his bloodline, but also taught "Jiba Boxing", and now "Seven Turns of Thunder Dragon Body", and even made a lot of annotations on it, so that he can avoid many detours when cultivating, Liu Dahai is quite grateful for this, since the master left, Zhou Chen is the only one who treats him like this.

But Zhou Chen doesn't care about this, Liu Dahai is a very pure person, there won't be so many twists and turns, since he regards himself as a friend, Zhou Chen also hopes that everyone can grow together and support each other, he doesn't want his martial arts to be lonely on the way, he wants to have friends and Ye Qingyao.

……

After a few days of flying, the cloud boat docked in Thundercloud City, the last time he passed through Thundercloud City, Zhou Chen didn't really visit this smelting-based city, this time it was the same, just after saying goodbye to Liu Dahai, they continued to take the cloud boat to set off, and their next destination was Qinglan City.

……

A few days later, Yunzhou arrived at Yunlan City.

Yunlan City is a second-level town of the Shenyun Empire, but the degree of prosperity is no less than that of the first-class town, it is not far from the border, the merchant trade is developed, and it is the central city of the Shenyun Empire and other border countries for merchants to trade materials, the Shenyun Empire in order to ensure the trade attributes of this city, allow all parties to establish trading points or shops here, but can not set up a sect branch, so Yunlan City can only be counted as a second-level city, but its size and population are no different from the first-class city.

As a representative of the trade organization, Tianbao Pavilion will naturally set up its own branch in Yunlan City, and the Tianbao Pavilion branch of Qinglan City is located in the most prosperous location, and it is also the most conspicuous building on this street.

Zhou Chen didn't spend much time to find the Tianbao Pavilion, Zhou Chen didn't waste time in the past few days, he has been refining pills, three hundred bottles of Xuanwen Cave Heavenly Pill, ten furnaces in one hour, except for some rest time a day, he refined a hundred furnaces, and everyone was almost stupid.

Zhou Chen is about to go to the puppet secret realm, and he doesn't know how long he will go, so he wants to deliver this batch of dazzling pattern cave pills to Yu Lingyun as soon as possible, and by the way, exchange some spirit stones to purchase a batch of materials, now he not only has to feed himself, but also has three friends, a demon beast, and a primordial god, all of whom need him to feed alone.

The three of them walked into the hall of Tianbao Pavilion, this hall of Tianbao Pavilion was very spacious, gorgeously decorated, and there was an endless stream of customers coming and going, which was a completely different scene compared to the branch pavilion in Qingyang City.

The showcase in charge of this Tianbao Pavilion branch is a middle-aged man Xue Fu who is about forty years old, although he is only in his four years, Xue Fu is full of oil, big belly, round waist and thick neck, it seems that he has lived a very nourishing life in Qinglan City.

After Zhou Chen handed over the purple card to Shopkeeper Xue, the three of them were led into a luxurious box, and Zhou Chen directly took out the small ring containing three hundred bottles of Xuanwen Cave Heavenly Pill and placed it on the table.

"Here is the elixir promised to your young lady, you can check it."

"My young lady has already instructed that Zhou Gongzi's pills don't need to be inspected, and they can be stored directly." Xue Fu took the ring and said respectfully.

"Don't need to check?"

Last time in the Qingyang City Branch, Mo Lao didn't check it, Zhou Chen can still understand, after all, he is the most trusted person around Yu Lingyun, he can't imagine that the display cabinet of the Qinglan City Branch Pavilion will not be checked, Zhou Chen thought to himself that this Tianbao Pavilion has such trust in himself?

"Yes, according to Miss, the transaction with Zhou Gongzi is Miss's personal affair, not a channel of Tianbao Pavilion, so our branch is only responsible for receiving items, and there is no qualification to inspect the items, and the spirit stones that settle with Childe are also transferred from Miss's personal account, Miss has instructed that Zhou Gongzi can advance the payment, and then settle next time."

Zhou Chen nodded, probably understood why Yu Lingyun arranged it this way, probably to protect "Mr. Huangtian", after all, if the matter of refining hundreds of bottles of Xuanwen Pill in a month spreads, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause, and it may bring great trouble to Zhou Chen, in order to prevent the loss of medicinal fragrance, Zhou Chen will always leave his own unique prohibition in the transaction ring every time, so Yu Lingyun can judge whether it has been opened by someone through the prohibition, which is why the shopkeepers of the branch cabinet dare not open it for inspection.

Zhou Chen felt that this was also very good, at least he could purchase the things he needed now, without waiting for the pill auction to be over, Yu Lingyun was still very thoughtful, although he had a little unpleasant trouble with Yu Lingyun in the Thundercloud Mountain Range before, but later her behavior still made Zhou Chen's impression of her improve a lot, and Zhou Chen didn't care about this, after all, the relationship with Yu Lingyun was just a pill cooperation, as long as the cooperation was pleasant.

"And how much can I advance?"

"Miss said that this batch of pills can advance 300 million lower grade spirit stones, I don't know if Zhou Gongzi is satisfied?"

"Three hundred million?" Zhou Lianyi's eyes widened in horror when he heard this number, but Zhang Erbao was not particularly surprised, as if he had seen a big scene, but he was also a little surprised, what kind of pill was Zhou Chen trading? It was so valuable, of course, he didn't know that there were three hundred bottles of pills in it.

"Then 300 million." Zhou Chen said lightly, in fact, Zhou Chen knew that the final transaction price, 300 million must be more than that, but this is just an advance payment, and Zhou Chen doesn't care, but it should be that Mo Lao has already informed Yu Lingyun that he will trade the Xuanwen Cave Heavenly Pill next, otherwise it is impossible to advance so much.

Xue Fu bowed and walked out of the box with the purple card.

"Perverted Zhou, what kind of elixir are you, it's so expensive to buy." Zhou Lianyi's face was full of surprise, and he asked Zhou Chen curiously.

"There are three hundred bottles of elixir in there, it took me several days, and I was almost exhausted." Zhou Chen said angrily, the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead can replenish his spiritual power, but this process of continuous consumption and replenishment is still quite torturous.

The two of them were also a little speechless, it only took a few days to refine three hundred bottles of pills, what kind of light-speed alchemy method is this? And they have earned so many spirit stones in just a few days, and they are still tired there, and both of them are a little speechless.

After a while, Xue Fu returned to the box and handed the purple card to Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou, 300 million spirit stones have been included in the card, if you still need anything, just follow along." ”

"You help me see if any of these things are available first." Zhou Chen took the purple card and handed Xue Fu a piece of paper with the names of several items written on it.

Xue Fu took a look, frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou, we basically have everything you want here, except for this ten-kilogram soul yuan stone. ”

"You don't have any soul stones here." Zhou Chen's face was a little ugly, this ten-kilogram Soul Yuan Stone was given by Lie Tianzun, and it was a very important item after entering the puppet secret realm.

"It's not that there isn't, it's not that big, there is only a five-kilogram soul element stone in our store, you see..."

"Let's buy it first." Lie Tianzun said in Zhou Chen's ear.

"Then give me this five-kilogram soul yuan stone first."

"Then I'll prepare, it will take some time, Zhou Gongzi, please wait a while, if you are bored, you can go to the treasure building of our Tianbao Pavilion for a walk, there are various grades of items on display, if you want to go, just explain to the maid at the door." After Xue Fu finished speaking, he turned around and left the box.

"Do you want to check it out?" Zhou Chen said to Zhou Lianyi and Zhang Erbao.

"Go, it's idle anyway." Zhou Lianyi said.

"Then let's go." Zhou Chen and the three of them left the box and walked towards the treasure building that Xue Fu said.

The treasure building is set up in the inner courtyard of the Tianbao Pavilion, it is an independent building, listen to the maid of the Tianbao Pavilion, this treasure building has four floors, there is no requirement to enter the first floor, you must hold a silver card to enter the second floor, you must hold a gold card to enter the third floor, you must hold a purple card to enter the fourth floor, with Zhou Chen's permission, you can enter the fourth floor, in fact, some larger Tianbao Pavilion branches also have a fifth floor, which is the permission requirement of the diamond card, and you must enter the Tianbao Pavilion spirit stone stock of more than one billion customers.

It is said that the things in the fifth floor of the treasure building are extremely valuable treasures brought from the Central Continent, and the price is extremely high, which is not something that ordinary people can buy, so it is also reasonable to set such a request, after all, Qinglan City is only a second-level town, mainly based on material transactions, and there is no great power, and there is no practical significance in setting up the fifth layer here.

Zhou Chen and a few people entered the first floor of the treasure building, but also surprised, the internal space of the first floor of the treasure building is huge, thousands of rows of shelves are neatly arranged, the goods on display are dazzling, and the people who see it are dizzying, if it is not for the maid next to the introduction, Zhou Chen and a few people will spend half a day visiting the first floor, but the maid introduced, the goods on the first and second floors are only for ordinary customers, and it is recommended that they go directly to the third floor.

There are not as many items on the third floor as there are on the first floor, but this is normal, and the things on display here are not big road goods, they are all high-quality items.

"Let's go shopping separately, if you have anything to look at, just hand it over to the maid, and we'll count it together later." Zhou Chen said to the two.

"Come on, Boss Zhou, then I'll choose." Zhou Lianyi directly ran towards the shelves happily.

Zhang Erbao also nodded to Zhou Chen and went shopping by himself.

"Boy, take a look at the rows of shelves in front of you on the right."

Zhou Chen was overjoyed when he saw Lie Tianzun speak, usually in this case, Lie Tianzun would only open his mouth when he found something good, and ordinary things couldn't get into his eyes.

Zhou Chen came to the front of the batch of shelves, and the maids around him also followed, listening to the introduction of the maids, the shelves here are specially placed for spiritual grass, spiritual flowers, and spiritual fruits, and they are all cultivated in porcelain pots, and the soil inside is a special soil, which is specially used to cultivate spiritual materials, keep spiritual materials growing, and need to be replaced regularly, so these spiritual materials are alive, and the medicinal power can not only be retained, but also continue to grow. But even this will lose the medicinal power, and the Tianbao Pavilion can preserve the medicinal power to the most perfect extent, even if it can't be sold for a long time, it doesn't matter.

"Buy this whole shelf." Lie Tianzun said lightly.

"A whole shelf?" Zhou Chen's face was stunned, is this a vegetable market to buy vegetables?

"What? Too little? Then you buy a whole row of shelves. Lie Tianzun said angrily.

"Teacher, I can't afford it, this shelf is full of sixth-level spiritual materials, and I still buy a row." Zhou Chen didn't know the price of these spiritual materials, but he could see that these spiritual materials were at least the fifth or sixth grade level.

"You kid is sometimes very shrewd, sometimes stupid to death, these sixth-level spiritual materials are only a hundred years at most, and they are not yet mature, how expensive can they be? are all people with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and their thinking is still so poor, so I will buy them all directly, according to me. ”

"You mean transplanting them into the Nine Heavens Mixed Elemental Bead?" Zhou Chen suddenly realized.

"It's not so stupid that it can't be helped, you look at the Blue Ghost Fruit that was transplanted in before, what has it grown into now, it was originally just a hundred years old Blue Ghost Fruit Seedling, but now it has grown into a thousand-year-old tree, and it is constantly evolving every day, if you transplant all these spiritual materials into the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead, you won't have to worry about material problems in the future alchemy."

Zhou Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said directly to the maid: "I want this whole row of spiritual materials." ”

The maid looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, although there are many people who usually buy spiritual materials, but they all choose to buy them according to their own needs, and they have never seen Zhou Chen buy them in a row like an upstart, after all, the lowest level of spiritual materials in this row is more than five grades, and the price is not low, but the maid didn't say anything, and went directly to count the shelves, her face was full of excited smiles, if all these spiritual materials were sold, she could also get a lot of commissions.

However, the price reported by the maid also made Zhou Chen startled, he actually needed 100 million spirit stones, this is still a nine-fold discount on the purple card, but Zhou Chen can still bear it, with these spirit materials, do you still need to worry about not having spirit stones.

Zhou Chen paid off the spirit stones, and directly put all the spiritual materials into the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead, but now it is not convenient to transplant them one by one, so he can only continue to raise them in a porcelain basin, the ground inside the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead itself is soil, this soil is as black as ink, and Zhou Chen does not know what kind of special soil this is, but if the spiritual materials want to be cultivated, they must be transplanted to this black soil.

Xiao Hei was also stunned when he saw Zhou Chen move so many spirit plants in, but he was still very excited, the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead was really empty, there was nothing, only a blue fruit tree, Xiao Hei was a demon beast after all, he liked to stay in the jungle deep mountains with dense vegetation, and usually it could only lie down under this tree to sleep, so that it could find a trace of the feeling in the jungle, and this blue fruit tree was just a sapling before, and now it has grown into a big tree.

Zhou Chen counted it, a total of more than 3,000 five-grade spiritual materials and more than 2,000 six-grade spiritual materials, there are more than 500 kinds of categories, Zhou Chen inherited the Dan Dao experience of Lie Tianzun, and basically can recognize the types of these spiritual materials, in the future, Zhou Chen's alchemy will not need to be so troublesome to purchase, his stomach is a big medicine garden, and this medicine garden is inexhaustible, Zhou Chen every time he alchemy leaves rhizomes when picking, they will continue to grow, but the transplantation of these spiritual materials one by one is also a big project, And Lie Tianzun would definitely not do this work, Zhou Chen could only ignore them for now, and his mind withdrew from the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead.
