Chapter 102: Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion
In the dense forest hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, the old man in the Jindan period bowed to Lin Fan and the others and said, "A few life-saving graces, the old man is here to thank you." ”
At this time, Lin Fan had already taken off the black robe on his body.
He said indifferently: "Do it casually, you don't have to do this, because of the rules of the sect, we can only help you get here." ”
Immortal disciples are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal dynasty, this is also an iron law, Lin Fan is just doing it casually, and he doesn't want to go too deep.
The old man of the Jindan stage naturally understood this, and after thanking Lin Fan and the others again, he came to the Nine Emperors and said, "Little master, let's go quickly." ”
At this time, the Nine Emperor Princes had already changed into a brocade robe, and his appearance was quite heroic, at least at a glance, he could see that he was from a military background.
But he should have been tortured a lot, so his body was very weak, and he could only barely stand up straight with the support of the old man.
He looked at Lin Fan and said, "A few of them should be disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!" ”
"Hmm!" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at a few people, as if they wanted to keep their faces in mind.
"The great kindness of several people, I, Cao Yun, have remembered, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay it."
With that, they departed.
Looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Chu Huaishui sighed and said, "When I was young, I felt that the royal family was like this sky, unattainable. ”
"Now, it seems, the royal is nothing more than that."
Not only Chu Huaishui is like this, but once Lin Fan and others also had an inexplicable sense of oppression after hearing the words of the Great Wei royal family.
But since they entered the Taiyi Immortal Gate, this sense of oppression has disappeared.
The position determines a person's vision.
No matter how terrifying the Great Wei royal family is, it is only a secular dynasty, and compared with the immortal cultivation sect like Taiyi Immortal Sect, it is not worth mentioning at all.
If the Taiyi Immortal Sect wanted to, then they only needed to dispatch the power of an immortal peak to wipe out the entire Great Wei royal family.
Seeing off the two, Tang Xue looked at the ruined villages around him and the hungry people everywhere, and shook his head helplessly.
"I can't stay in this imperial city anymore, hurry up and send the letter and leave."
The most helpless thing in the world is that you obviously have the ability to punish adultery and eliminate evil, but you can't do it.
Tang Xue thinks like this, and the most effective way to solve this problem can only be to stay away, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind.
After all, it is the practice of Dongxuan Shenzhou that the immortal sect does not interfere in secular affairs, if an exception is made, every immortal sect will meddle in secular affairs in the future, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the suffering brought to these people will be even more.
At this point, Lin Fan was also very helpless.
Although others always say that he has a rebellious temperament, he just doesn't want to go with the flow and be dominated.
He was able to understand the rules that made sense.
In this way, the group blended into the city again.
Wanbao Pavilion in the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Great Wei Dynasty.
According to the news that Chu Huaishui heard, it was known that Wan An, the first pavilion master of Wanbao Pavilion back then, was also a disciple of Taiyi Xianmen, and he also had a close relationship with Tong Yunhua and others.
It's just that because of his limited talent, he failed to marry Dan, and finally chose to quit the Xianmen, and with the support of Tong Yunhua and several people, he went to the Great Wei Emperor Capital to establish the Wanbao Pavilion.
and contracted the resource supply of the entire Taiyi Immortal Gate.
Because of the support of Taiyi Xianmen, coupled with Wan'an's own ability, Wanbao Pavilion soon became the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Wei Kingdom.
After that, Wan An Shouyuan was exhausted, and his descendants took his place in turn, maintaining the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, he has been providing resources for the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
It's been thousands of years now.
A few people quickly came to the door of Wanbao Pavilion according to the address.
Looking at the majestic seven-story attic in front of him, which covers an area of dozens of acres, Jiang Wen grew his mouth and said: "Obediently, it is worthy of being the first chamber of commerce in Great Wei, and it actually has such a big industry in this imperial city where every inch of land is valuable. ”
Although it is also located in Nancheng District, unlike the previous chaotic appearance, the security here is much better, at least there is no drama such as robbing people on the street.
After a few people entered the attic and showed their identities and intentions, the shopkeeper immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest of Taiyi Xianmen!" You take your seat first, and I will have someone go to the master of our house. ”
The interior of Wanbao Pavilion is not as dazzling as Lin Fan and the others imagined, but it is very neat.
The decoration inside is also relatively simple, it looks like an ordinary pawn shop, which makes Jiang Wen and Chu Huaishui, who are ready to open their eyes, disappointed.
I found out by asking the shopkeeper.
The business of this Wanbao Pavilion is already too big, even if the seven floors of the attic are full, it will not be able to put down all kinds of items.
Therefore, when they do business, they just ask for a list, and then distribute the goods according to the list, and there is no procurement link in the middle.
Naturally, there is no need to place items.
And this huge seven-story attic, except for a few important floors, is basically rented out.
It is said that the rent received every year is tens of millions of spirit stones.
After listening to the shopkeeper's description, Lin Fan and the others had a little more understanding of doing business.
Just as a few people were chatting, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe and a brocade hat hurriedly ran over.
"Oh, a few immortal masters, why didn't you say hello before you came! The small Wan Zhen has lost the distance, and the distance has been missed! ”
Wan Zhen bowed his hands again and again, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of shrewdness and philistine.
Lin Fan and the others also calmly returned the salute, they didn't want to dwell too much here, so Lin Fan calmly handed out the letter and said, "Lord Wange, this is the list of items to be purchased by Taiyi Immortal Sect in the next ten years. ”
After Wan Zhen accepted the list, he handed over the four space bags without a trace and said, "A few people have come from afar, and a small gift is not a tribute." ”
Lin Fan had never met such an enthusiastic person, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he thought that this guy could collect millions of spirit stones every year just by collecting rent.
Lin Fan stretched out his hand again and put the space bag away, and then he followed Lin Xuan's appearance and greeted the other party: "You're welcome!" In the future, if the Lord of the Ten Thousand Pavilion comes to Taiyi Immortal Gate, he will definitely say hello to us, and we will definitely entertain us. ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Seeing Lin Fan accept it, Wan Zhen suddenly said with a smile.
After the task was completed, Lin Fan didn't have any more thoughts, he arched his hand again and said: "I'll wait for other things, so I won't bother, and I'll see you in the future." ”
With that, the four of them were leaving.
Seeing this, Wan Zhen hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "A few immortal masters, can you wait for a while?" ”
The four of them stopped, and Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Pavilion Master, is there anything else?" ”
Wan Zhen glanced at the shopkeeper standing beside him, who suddenly retreated.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan secretly said in his heart: It seems that this businessman's gift can't be taken for nothing!
After the shopkeeper left, Wan Zhen said with a smile on his face: "A few immortal masters, there is something I want to trouble you, I wonder if you can listen to it?" ”
Wan Zhen's posture was very low, and Lin Fan had just received something from others, so it was naturally not easy to refuse.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Wan Zhen then said: "A few immortal masters, I don't know how many of you, are you from the peak of things?" ”
Several people glanced at each other, and then Chu Huaishui stepped forward and said, "I'm from the peak of things." ”
When Wan Zhen heard this, his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears, and he leaned in front of Chu Huaishui and asked, "Then I don't know how many pills can I refine now?" ”
Chu Huaishui was stupid when he heard this, after he entered the Immortal Gate, he either gathered around Tong Yunhua and patted his ass, or retreated to practice.
Alchemy? What's that?
So he looked at Lin Fan again.
The latter was also a little speechless, although he could refine the second-grade pill now, but this pill was okay to coax and coax the new disciples of the foundation building period.
In this Wanbao Pavilion, I am afraid that it is no different from sheep dung and eggs.
As a result, the space bags in his hand suddenly became hot.
Depend on! The head of the family said that he was not allowed to accept things from people casually, and he was right.
Wan Zhen is also a human spirit, he knows their abilities by looking at the expressions of several people, but despite this, he still keeps a smile and says: "If you don't know how to do alchemy, then forget it, I just asked casually." ”
When he said this, it made Lin Fan a little embarrassed, although he couldn't take it, Lin Fan still stubbornly said: "Several of us are new disciples this year, and the alchemy technique is not proficient, but if I make a move, the second grade of the pill will still be fine." ”
"However, in the eyes of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Pavilions, I'm afraid the second-grade pill is nothing!"
Lin Fan originally thought that the other party would be very disappointed, but when he finished speaking, he saw Wan Zhen with an expectant face and said, "Second grade...... Then I wonder if the immortal master can try the three-pin pill? ”
"I won't tell you that His Majesty the current Emperor believes in the art of demons and evils, and recruits alchemists into the palace."
"Don't say that it is a second-grade alchemist, or a first-grade alchemist, and even some charlatans can be recruited by him as a guest."
"Moreover, he posted the emperor's list last month, saying that he would hold an alchemy conference of the Great Wei Kingdom for the third princess to choose a son-in-law."
"If you can win the crown, not only can you choose three treasures at will in the treasure house of the imperial city, but you may also become the concubine of the third princess."
"I think of the three princesses, beautiful and moving......"
Wan Zhen said as he spoke, the saliva at the corner of his mouth almost flowed out, and Tang Xue on the side turned pale.
Seeing that the latter was about to go berserk, Lin Fan hurriedly interrupted Wan Zhen's words: "Ahem, I don't have a complete grasp of refining the three-pin pill. ”
"And we are members of the sect, so we can't have anything to do with the royal family, and besides, this emperor is so mediocre, I don't want to do alchemy for him."
"Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan handed back the four space bags.
Hearing this, Wan Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, the immortal master misunderstood, I just felt it." ”
"I also know the rules of the people of Xianmen, and I don't really want you to be the son-in-law of that stupid emperor."
"However, the opportunity to choose three treasures from the Imperial City's treasury is extremely rare!"
Wan Zhen was very excited, but Lin Fan didn't care, whether it was medicinal materials or weapons and pills in his hands, there was no shortage of them.
Moreover, as a price for the sect not to interfere in the affairs of the imperial family, members of the royal family are not allowed to practice without the special permission of the sect to which they belong.
So what rare treasures can they have in their treasury?
Wan Zhen looked at Lin Fan's disapproving look, and then looked at Tang Xue who was full of displeasure on the side, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He then said with a mysterious face: "Immortal Master, don't say anything else, there is something in the treasure house of the Imperial City, you absolutely need it." ”
"What?"
"Zhuyan Qinglian!"
As soon as these four words came out, Tang Xue's eyes on the side suddenly lit up, and Lin Fan also frowned.
Although this Zhuyan Qinglian is only a five-grade elixir, it has the effect of making almost all female monks crazy.
That is, after taking it, it can last forever and will not fade for thousands of years, so as long as it appears, it will attract many female monks to snatch it frantically.
Because of this, many of the rhizomes of the Zhuyan Qinglian were destroyed in the robbery, so that this elixir was almost extinct.
Seeing the reaction of the two, Wan Zhen immediately explained: "Don't hide it from you, there is a Zhuyan Qinglian in this Great Wei royal family, and one will grow every ten years, and they have secretly sold it several times. ”
"Because it's secretive, very few people know about it, that is, I have some unique intelligence methods in Wanbao Pavilion to know about it."
"Now that the ten-year period has arrived, I think a new one has grown and been stored in the royal treasury."
"I don't know if a few immortal masters are interested in cooperating once."
"I'm responsible for providing all the raw materials needed for alchemy, and you only need to refine it, if you can succeed, I only need one of the three palace treasures, and I'll teach you to choose the rest, how about it?"
Lin Fan looked back at Tang Xue, and saw that the latter turned his head to look away, making a look of indifference.
However, the little eyes that floated over her from time to time still betrayed her.
And Lin Fan has also refined the three-pin pill, and the success rate is less than half of it, but if you study hard and specialize in one kind these days, you can increase the success rate a lot.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan opened his mouth and agreed: "Okay, since there is such a treasure, then I will try it." ”
Seeing Lin Fan's agreement, Wan Zhen immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll take Gongzi to the Alchemist Association to register now!" ”
Wan Zhen is a doer, he will go as he says, without dragging his feet, and at the same time, he also instructed his subordinates to bring some second- and third-grade elixirs from the warehouse for Lin Fan to practice.
Unlike sects, there are always many associations in the world.
The Alchemist Association is one of them, and when it was founded on the first day of junior high school, it was originally intended to let the alchemists report to the group to keep warm and make progress with each other.
But after a long time, the contradictions became prominent, and various gangs began to form gangs and fight each other.
Of course, these are only first- and second-grade alchemists, and those who can reach the third-grade alchemists can directly enter the sect, and when they are guests, who will come here to ask for trouble.
According to Wan Zhen, although there are many alchemists in this imperial city, most of them are only first-grade and second-grade alchemists.
If Lin Fan can refine the three-grade pill, then he will definitely be able to win the top spot, and after he finishes selecting the treasures, he can find a random number to slip away, anyway, the Great Wei royal family can't find the Taiyi Immortal Gate.
This idea echoed Lin Fan's wishes.
In this way, the group came to the Alchemist Association.
If you want to obtain the qualification of an alchemist, you must first be able to refine a pin of pills, and you can only register with the qualification of an alchemist.
Because of the posting of the emperor's list, the current Alchemist Association can be described as overcrowded.
All kinds of Dan stoves are placed everywhere, and the sound of fryers comes out.
This scene is like a vegetable market in Wolong City.
With Wan Zhen, the pavilion master of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Lin Fan didn't have to compete for a position with them, and came directly to the backyard of the Alchemist Association.
"Lord Wange, what kind of wind is blowing you?" An old man with white hair stepped forward and said.
Brother Jindan! Lin Fan was speechless, he couldn't imagine that there were still strong people in this inconspicuous alchemist association, but its strength and aura were really difficult to compliment.
It is estimated that it is caused by frequent alchemy and neglect of practice.
After Wan Zhen greeted the other party for a while, he pointed at Lin Fan and said, "This is a little friend I met by chance, who can refine second-grade pills at a young age, but he has never received the qualification of an alchemist. ”
"So ......"
After introducing Lin Fan, Wan Zhen immediately said: "By the way, Lin Fan Xiaoyou, this is Tian Gu, the president of the Alchemist Association. ”
Lin Fan pretended to be a junior, and said to Tian Gu: "I've seen my seniors." ”
Tian Gu looked Lin Fan up and down, then nodded and said: "At a young age, he is already a perfect cultivation of foundation building, and he can refine the second-grade pill, the future life is terrifying, the future life is terrifying!" ”
"Then this exam ......," Wan Zhen said with a smile.
"Exams? What exams do I need to take if you guarantee them? ”
As he spoke, Tian Gu took out an iron card and sketched it, and then handed it to Lin Fan.
"Little friend, this is the certification plate of the Alchemist Association, you have to take it! Of course, it doesn't matter if you lose it, just look for me, I can portray it at any time! Ha ha. ”
After saying that, Tatani laughed twice, looking quite arrogant.
According to what Wan Zhen said, if you want to pass the alchemist's exam, you need to immediately extract three pills for refining, and at least two pills on the pills can be considered successful.
And now it seems that as long as the relationship is enough, Mo said that he can't do alchemy, even a fool can get an identity card.
This kind of association is really nonsense.
After that, Wan Zhen had a greeting with Tian Gu again, and then took Lin Fan back to Wanbao Pavilion.
"The Alchemist Conference will officially start in four days, and I will ask people to inquire about what the exam questions are, and the immortal master will warm up his hands in this quiet room first."
"I've already asked someone to send some of the three grades of the pill and the required medicinal materials into the meditation room, if you still need anything, just talk to your subordinates."
After some pleasantries, Wan Zhen left.
Looking at his back, Chu Huaishui said with emotion: "Obediently, he is worthy of being the master of Wanbao Pavilion who has been in business for generations, and this ability to engage in relationships is really not enough." ”
Lin Fan also recognized Wan Zhen's ability very much, but then again, how could a person who could mix such a large industry in this capital and endure for a long time be a rice bucket?
