Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Capital Alchemist Guild
Following behind Hu Jianxian, Qi Bing looked around curiously.
This place is indeed worthy of being the capital of a country, and the prosperity in it is really not comparable to other places.
Shoulder-to-shoulder, shoulder to shoulder, toe on heel, is used to describe a very large number of people.
Originally, Qi Bing thought that this would only be encountered at the train station in Huaxia on Earth, and he didn't want to be the same here.
The streets and alleys are full of people, extremely congested, and occasionally a rider or a carriage rushes by, causing pedestrians to crowd each other and make a mess.
"Master, there are so many people, it deserves to be the capital!" Qi Bing had even seen a more congested scene, but now this scene still made Qi Bing sigh.
Hu Jianxian nodded a little arrogantly, proud of it: "That's nature, this is the capital of my Southern Qi Kingdom!"
"Moreover, today is not an ordinary day! No matter how many people there are in the capital on weekdays, at most it is only half of what it is now. Yu Youdao said resignedly in the back, he was also infected by the warm atmosphere around him at this time, and the fear in his heart gradually subsided a little, but as soon as he saw Qi Bing and Hu Jianxian, the scene of Qi Bing raising a thousand mountains to cut off Qin Ming's head and Hu Jianxian killing people at will appeared in his mind, and he trembled and was scared for a while.
Hu Jianxian was stunned and sighed: "Yes, today is also a special day!"
"What day?" Qi Bing was a little curious, what day can directly double the population flow of a place?
Hu Jianxian was sullen and didn't speak, just frowned.
"Today is the 80th birthday of today's saint!" Yu Youdao was very respectful when he spoke. It seems that this emperor of the Southern Qi Kingdom is very popular.
As soon as Yu Youdao's voice fell, Hu Jianxian left directly with a black face.
Seeing this, Yu Youdao suddenly seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and his body trembled even more, as if he was very scared.
Qi Bing looked puzzled for a while, and was very curious about what was hidden in this, but now was not the time to ask, he glared at Yu Youdao, and then quickly followed.
Hu Jianxian had a cold face, he walked fast, Qi Bing was depressed for a while, now he is not good at speed, especially this is the capital, it seems that it is still the master's territory, how can he give some face, naturally he can't use Tiger Ben Chong to increase speed, and he ran extremely embarrassed for a while. On the contrary, Yu Youdao in the back is slightly better, he just needs to control his speed a little slower than Qi Bing, so that he has become the most carefree along the way.
Along the way, everyone was very fast, and it didn't take long for everyone to reach the outside of a compound.
Saying that it is a compound is really a bit derogatory to the building in front of it, but Hu Jianxian said so, Qi Bing will regard it as a compound.
This compound looks like a city within a city, with high blue walls and red gates, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a city. In the middle of this "city", there is a plaque with five large red characters written on it: Alchemist Guild!
The five big characters look rough and rough, as if they are an artistic body, vigorous and powerful, absolutely everyone's demeanor, and have the ability to be passed down through the ages. But these five words look deeply, but they seem to have a magical force that attracts people's consciousness inward.
"Look at those five words!" Hu Jianxian's face became calmer the more he walked, and when he walked to the compound of the Alchemist Guild, his face was already a little calm and darkened, but he seemed to care about Qi Bing very much, and prompted.
Qi Bing was preparing to study these five words, and after hearing the words, he was suddenly shocked and quickly looked away.
To Qi Bing's surprise, he almost couldn't take his eyes off.
It was as if there was something on it that was attracting him, making him unable to take his eyes off, and thanks to Qi Bing's strong mind, he forced his gaze away.
"This, what is it?" Qi Bing wiped the sweat on his forehead with some fear, if Hu Jianxian was a few moments slower, Qi Bing believed that he would definitely fall into that unknown thing, and then the ghost knew what there would be, and listening to Hu Jianxian's previous meaning, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Hu Jianxian didn't answer, but paused for a moment, frowned, and saw that there was no one at the gate of the compound, and suddenly there was a burst of fire, and he secretly said that the people in the guild this time were too much, and they even dared not to look at the door, and they couldn't take care of this group of guys.
Yu Youdao in the back knew what it was, but he didn't dare to say it when he saw that Hu Jianxian didn't say it.
At this time, the gate of the compound was closing, Hu Jianxian frowned, glanced at the closed gate, and stood there.
Qi Bing glanced at Yu Youdao.
Yu You didn't say goodbye, it was still good to look at people's eyes, and he understood it at once, and walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and patted the door fiercely, and shouted: "Is there anyone? Elder Hu is back!"
Soon, there was a burst of restlessness inside, Hu Jianxian and Yu Youdao were both profound cultivators, so they could naturally hear the discussion inside, while Qi Bing's cultivation was a little shallower after all, and he could only roughly hear the sound inside.
"Oh my God, Elder Hu is back, great!"
"Elder Hu said that he would not come back in three months, but now that it has been so long in advance, he also knows that we are in great trouble?"
"Yes, as soon as Elder Hu comes back, no one in our Alchemist Guild will be afraid!"
Some people were excited, but some people questioned: "No, Elder Hu's return is too coincidental, right?
"Are you saying that Elder Hu has surrendered to the enemy? Hmph, you are insulting Elder Hu!"
"No, I mean the enemy pretended to be Elder Hu and wanted to open our door!"
This burst of noise became louder and louder, and even Qi Bing could hear it clearly, making him grin.
"Open the door!" Hu Jianxian was helpless for a while, he knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't open his mouth, so he directly used Zhenyuan to shout.
In an instant, the inside of the gate became silent, but soon, there were bursts of cheers.
"Elder Hu is back!"
"Hurry up and report to the president, Elder Hu is back!"
"Elder Hu is back, we are saved!"
Squeak!
There was excitement inside, and at the same time someone came to open the door.
Qi Bing even clearly saw that there was a cyan light on the gate, and as the gate opened, there were small cyclones swimming away, looking like that, it was extraordinary. In this way, the gate is either made of something special, or a formation is arranged with the gate. In contrast, the latter one can be reasonable.
