Chapter 15: A Thousand Miles Away (1)
Thousands of miles away, the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom, Chaoyang City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There is a moat outside the city that goes around the city.
In the early morning, on the calm surface of the river, a slowly rotating whirlpool suddenly rose.
Just listen to the sound of a 'whoosh'.
A figure in a green shirt quickly flew up from the whirlpool and stood on the bank of the river, and then the whirlpool disappeared.
This figure is Li Xuan, who has been running the water escape technique all night.
Looking at the majestic Chaoyang City in front of him, he couldn't help but smile on his slightly tired face.
"Finally got rid of those hateful Dao Jian sect disciples, entered the city and found the Chamber of Commerce to sell the elixir that I had worked so hard to cultivate for more than ten days, and I would be able to exchange it for what I wanted. ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little excited.
The goose feathers are falling heavily.
Many secular people who got up early cursed the cold winter that came early this year.
But in the eyes of Li Xuan, who came out of prison, this snow scene is more elegant and interesting.
He held up an oil-paper umbrella, took a step, and calmly walked into Chaoyang City like a scholar rushing to take the exam in the world.
This is also the costume he specially prepared before going down the mountain in order not to attract too much attention.
If he went down the mountain to buy items as a disciple of the Immeasurable Immortal Sect, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
After all, for secular people, even if they are monks who have just stepped into the mortal realm, it is definitely an admirable existence.
The Great Zhao Kingdom is one of the human realms under the protection of the Immeasurable Immortal Sect.
Every year, a large amount of offerings have to be paid to the Immeasurable Immortal Sect.
The last time the master and the little uncle killed the evil spirits, it was because the people of Da Zhao were attacked by the evil spirits.
And it was during that mission that Master Daoshi died.
For this Great Zhao Kingdom, he has a little more indescribable feelings.
Under the guidance of the occasional passer-by, he already had a general understanding of the streets in Chaoyang City and the chambers of commerce of some cultivators.
There are a total of eight cultivator chambers in the city, and these chambers of commerce themselves are equivalent to a small sect.
They not only provided various cultivation resources for the royal family, but also for the major cultivation sects within a radius of thousands of miles.
Li Xuan first came to a shop called the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
Because it was morning, the guys from the Chamber of Commerce still didn't seem to wake up, and they kept yawning in their mouths.
"Alas, I said that scholar, this is the Cultivator Chamber of Commerce, not the pen and ink shops you usually enter, there is nothing you want, you want to join in the fun and go elsewhere!"
The guy glanced at Li Xuan with extremely impatient eyes, and said something away.
Li Xuan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and suddenly thought that secular people have a saying that they are rushing to take the exam.
It is already the depths of winter, and many students will rush to Chaoyang City from all over the country to study hard and take the exam for the spring of next year.
His outfit was obviously misunderstood.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said loudly: "Man, I have something valuable to sell, please come out and talk!"
"Hmph, what can you do as a stinky scholar, but it's all some worthless things for writing and drawing, let's go, our shopkeeper doesn't have time to take care of you!"
For this kind of scholar who went to Beijing to catch the exam and passed by to see the excitement, this guy seems to have seen a lot, and he drove Li Xuan away again very arrogantly.
Seeing that Li Xuan was motionless, the guy was suddenly a little annoyed, walked out from behind the counter with a curse, and stretched out his hand to push Li Xuan.
"Huh?"
The guy pushed Li Xuan's shoulder hard, but the other party didn't move at all.
He was suspicious in his heart, and was about to push again, but he felt a surging aura burst out from Li Xuan's body in an instant, shocking him to retreat more than a dozen steps before he could stand firm.
"You are, monk!"...,
The guy looked at the thin teenager in front of him, and couldn't help but elongate his tone because he was too shocked.
This guy himself is also a cultivator of the mortal realm, and he has been refining his body for some time, thinking that ordinary worldly people are not his opponents at all, but he doesn't want to suffer at the hands of a scholar who seems to be weak.
He knew that it was powerful, and he no longer dared to underestimate Li Xuan, so he quickly changed his tone, changed his title, bowed to Li Xuan and said, "I don't know what you want to sell, please show me, I'll hand it over to the shopkeeper!"
Li Xuan didn't care, shook his hand and took out a verdant green leaf and handed it to the guy.
"What is this?"
Putting the leaf in front of his nose and sniffing, the guy looked suspicious.
"With your knowledge, you naturally can't see it, hand it over to your shopkeeper, he should know!"
Li Xuan said lightly.
The guy is still skeptical, but everything before has made him dare not underestimate Li Xuan, in case this is really a treasure, if he misses it, the shopkeeper will know that he will not be able to bear the responsibility in the future: "You wait a minute, I will report to the shopkeeper immediately!"
After speaking, he walked briskly to the back hall.
Li Xuan turned around, sat down on the chair, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
After all, last night's water escape technique consumed too much of his energy.
The guy held the leaf of the Thousand Spirit Flower, which was very ordinary no matter how you looked, and walked quickly to the back hall.
In the back hall of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper Liu Yiming had two mustaches, a smile on his face, and bowed over to serve a monk in front of him to drink tea.
The wrinkles on the monk's face were so thick that they seemed to fall off his face at any moment.
It seems that he is at least hundreds of years old.
Secular people simply can't live to such an old age, and even a monk in the mortal realm can't live to such an old age, so this monk is not only a monk, but also a monk with extremely high cultivation.
He was wrapped in a golden robe, which made him look even more solemn, and even when he was drinking tea, his eyes were closed.
"Master, you have only come to the disciple once, and this time let the disciple do his filial piety!"
Liu Yiming always bowed his body and said with an extremely flattering expression.
The old monk smiled slightly, his eyes were always closed, he opened his withered yellow lips and was about to speak, when he heard a voice in his ears, and immediately closed it again.
The guy held the leaf and walked in in a panic: "Shopkeeper, a scholar monk came to the Chamber of Commerce and said that he wanted to sell some valuables, and let me bring this leaf to show you!"
Liu Yiming was begging the elderly monk to stay, but was interrupted by a scholar monk halfway, and the mustache on his lips rose high because of anger: "What scholar monk, you can send him by yourself, don't you see the master here!"
He didn't look back, and scolded the guy fiercely.
The man was so stunned that he didn't dare to say anything, and turned around to leave.
The monk sitting at the top seemed to sense something, frowned and suddenly spoke: "Quickly bring that leaf to me!"
The guy was slightly stunned, quickly turned around, and bent his waist deeply, his movements and his expression were even more respectful.
The shopkeeper invited this monk, whose status was extremely noble, and it was not at all that he could offend, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
Liu Yiming was shocked, he understood that what could interest the master was nothing extraordinary.
Sure enough, the monk closed his eyes and took the emerald green leaves of the Thousand Spirit Flowers into his hand, and was suddenly startled, Huo stood up, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Where is the scholar, keep him, you must keep him!"
Hearing this, the guy's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he froze for a moment, and hurriedly trotted out in response, muttering secretly in his heart: "What is the origin of that scholar, who actually makes Master Jin Yun so nervous!"
Liu Yiming was even more shocked, Master Jin Yun's cultivation was unfathomable, and he would actually lose his true appearance for just a leaf, which was something he had never asked: "Master, forgive the disciple's clumsiness, this leaf is the leaf of the sixth-order elixir Thousand Spirit Flower, can there be anything special!"
Master Jin Yun gently touched the leaf, carefully caressing a newborn baby, and the corners of his old lips showed a chuckle: "Alas, it does look like an ordinary leaf, but if you talk about its vintage, it is very amazing, I have been cultivating for four hundred years, and I have only taken four strains of this elixir in total, I didn't expect to meet it here with you!
"What, could it be that this is the leaf of a thousand-spirit flower that is hundreds of years old, it is indeed a treasure!"
Liu Yiming was slightly surprised.
"If it's only for hundreds of years, how can I see that in my eyes, this strain is at least two hundred years old!"
Master Jin Yun landed on the ground with a word, and Liu Yiming's whole body was shocked.
His two mustaches jumped and jumped, and he was speechless for a while.
"Two hundred years, portions!"
Looking at the emerald green leaves, Liu Yiming became stammering, the nature of the businessman was undoubtedly revealed, if others said that this was a two-hundred-year-old elixir, he would definitely say big things to others, but he believed the words of the master.
You must know that the elixir of two hundred years, he has never seen it with his own eyes in the years he has been in the Chamber of Commerce.
Without waiting for the master to speak again, Liu Yiming had already reacted: "I'll go, I'll personally go and entertain this person, no matter what the price is, I will buy the whole Thousand Spirit Flower, and honor the master!"
"Slow, this Thousand Spirit Flower is not the most important thing, the important thing is the thing behind this Thousand Spirit Flower, in my opinion, this Thousand Spirit Flower does not grow naturally to this year, but is cultivated by a master, you must ask about the identity and origin of this person!"
Master Jin Yun commanded urgently.
"What, two hundred years of elixir is actually cultivated, who, who can have such ability!"
Liu Yiming's mustache fell into the beating up and down again, it is not uncommon to cultivate an elixir for thirty or forty years in the cultivation realm, and it is not impossible to cultivate an elixir for fifty years or sixty years, but the strange thing of cultivating an elixir for two hundred years can only be done in the classics of the Daomen, as a businessman's natural sensitivity, he naturally understands that this is definitely a great opportunity to send to the door.
Catch it, you must catch it.
Early in the morning, he suddenly felt unbearable heat and excitement, and his mung bean-like eyes shone sharply.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely find a way to find out!"
After he finished speaking, he saluted Master Jin Yun, turned around and hurriedly turned to the front hall.
