Chapter 8 Cultivating Truth
"Who?" asked Liu An cautiously as he stood behind the door.
"Open the door quickly! We are the people of the 'Naling Department' of the Yueyang Alliance. ”
Liu An glanced out through the crack in the door, and saw three middle-aged men in black shirts with the logo of the Yueyang League on their chests standing in front of the door. With a pang in his heart, he quickly opened the courtyard door.
"What's the name of the owner of this house, but you just came here yesterday?" asked a thin man with a sallow face and a mustache.
"Back to the three adults, my lord's surname is Chu Tiannan, and he just came to the ancestral house here yesterday. Liu An looked at the three of them and replied carefully.
"What is the evidence of the ancestral house?" Another fat man, glaring at a pair of bull's eyes, asked fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly call your master to come out and meet!"
When Liu An saw this situation, he could only walk towards the inner courtyard with a confession. A moment later, Chu Tiannan walked out with Zhang Cheng and Liu An.
"I don't know what your lords have to say? Chu Tiannan read countless people, and when he saw the three people in front of the door, they were fierce. I knew that the king of Hades was good, but the little ghost was difficult, so he made a respectful gesture.
The three members of the Yueyang Alliance glanced at each other, and then walked towards the inner courtyard under the guidance of Liu An.
"You are Chu Tiannan? This place is your ancestral home, do you have a certificate?" the fat man took a sip of tea and looked around the living room with his slender eyes.
"Yes, it is Chu Tiannan down there, this is the deed of this house!" As he spoke, Chu Tiannan took out the deed that had been prepared from his arms and handed it over.
"Well, it seems that this place is indeed your ancestral business, but after all, all these years have passed. The Flying Fish Gate, one of the four major sects that had been sealed on this deed, is no longer there, and it is not easy for me to explain it to Lu Shang based on this deed alone!" The fat man took the deed and read it, looked up at Chu Tiannan and said with a smile.
"This is a little bit of heart, if there is any shortcoming, I hope that the three Duoduo Haihan!" Chu Tiannan said observantly, and at the same time handed a palm-sized brocade box to the fat man.
At this time, Chu Yi, who had just come to the hall, happened to see this scene, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as I wait for Xiang Lu to explain it clearly, I believe it won't be difficult. Brother Chu, you can rest assured. The fat man took the brocade box and looked at it, only to see that there were dozens of crystal spirit stones the size of fingernails inside, and immediately said with a pleasant face.
"The public is the public, and the private is the private. Brother Chu, we are here this time to collect the spirit stones you need to live in this town this month!" said the thin man with a sallow face and a mustache.
"I don't know how many spirit stones do you need to pay under the three poor masters?" Chu Tiannan asked slowly.
"Not much, a hundred spirit stones a month is enough!" said another blue-faced man with a smile.
"So please wait!" Chu Tiannan walked towards the inner hall with a confession, and after a while, he held a ruler long brocade box in his hand and walked back slowly.
"Please check it to see if there is any mistake. Chu Tiannan handed the brocade box to the blue-faced man with both hands.
"Yes, just the right amount. This 'Naring card' brother put it away. This card is the proof of paying the spirit stone. The blue-faced man glanced at the brocade box, then smiled slightly and handed Chu Tiannan an inch-long bamboo plaque with faint aura.
"Brother Chu, I still have official business, so I won't bother here!" Seeing that they had gained a lot this time, the three of them got up and left with a happy face. Chu Tiannan naturally kept the three of them for a while before sending them out of the door.
"Daddy, where did these three come from, why did you treat them so politely?" As soon as he saw Chu Tiannan return to the hall, Chu Yi asked eagerly.
"Yi'er! These three people are the people of the 'Yueyang Alliance'. When we first arrived, we were in this town, and it was 'people under the eaves of the house, how could they not bow their heads'. Hearing this, Chu Tiannan let out a helpless sigh.
Hearing his father say this, Chu Yi could only be silent with his eyes flashing.
"Daddy, I want to go to Fang City to see if I can buy the elixir needed to prepare the 'Yi Bone Spirit Liquid'. After a moment of silence, Chu Yi raised his head and asked.
"Okay, Zhang Cheng and Liu An, you two are familiar with the situation in this town, so accompany the young master to Fang City!" Chu Tiannan nodded slightly, turned his head and instructed Zhang Cheng and Liu An.
"Don't worry, sir. Liu and Zhang replied respectfully.
A moment later, one or two pairs of horse-canopy carriages drove out from the front of the Chu Mansion and galloped towards Xiuzhenfang City in the southeast of the town.
Xiuzhenfang City, located in the southeast district of Yueyang Town, is distributed on both sides of a north-south street with a width of three zhang and a length of more than ten miles in the southeast district of the town.
As the day approached, a two-horse canopy carriage came galloping and stopped at the entrance of the north end of Fang City, driven by two teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old. As soon as the carriage stopped, two teenagers jumped out of the carriage and opened the door, and out of it came a boy of eight or nine years old with clear eyebrows, who was none other than Chu Yi's master and servant.
"Young Master, Xiuzhenfang City has arrived, let's hurry up and go in and take a look!" Liu An said eagerly, his face was also full of anticipation.
Chu Yi looked up and saw that there was a memorial arch more than two zhang high erected at the entrance of Fang City, on which were written the four large characters of 'Xiu Shen Fang City'.
"Let's go, go in and have a look!" Chu Yi waved his hand and walked first, followed by Liu and Zhang.
I saw that there was a surge of people in the market, and there were many shops on both sides of the street, and there were also many scattered stalls on both sides of the street. Chu Yi was walking when he was suddenly attracted by a long sword about three feet long, and he couldn't help but stop in front of this small stall to watch.
"This little brother, do you need a soul tool? Although this Qingfeng Sword is a low-grade soul tool, its true power is not far from that of a middle-grade soul tool, it is a rare soul tool boutique!" The stall owner was a short, thin, black-faced middle-aged man, and when he saw the young man's eyes staring at this Qingfeng Sword, he immediately held the long sword in his hand and said endlessly.
"How many spirit stones are there for this sword?" Chu Yi couldn't help but ask with some emotion.
"It's not much, it's only a thousand spirit stones!" said the black-faced middle-aged man with a roll of his eyes.
A low-grade soul device actually costs a thousand spirit stones, and this person really dares to open his mouth. Chu Yi's face sank, and he walked away with Liu and Zhang.
"Young Master, if you really like soul tools, you can buy them from a shop that specializes in selling all kinds of magic weapons. After all, the quality of the things in the shop is guaranteed, and the price is fair. Liu An saw what Chu Yi was thinking, and immediately suggested.
"Let's talk about it in the future, I came here today mainly to collect a batch of elixirs, do you know where to sell elixirs in this city?" Chu Yiwei shook his head and said.
"Young master, most of the shops in this area sell all kinds of magic weapons, if you buy elixir, you have to go to the front to have a look!" Liu An hurriedly replied when he heard this.
"Okay, then let's hurry over!" Before the words fell, Chu Yi had already hurried away.
Along the way, although he walked as fast as the wind, Chu Yi couldn't help but open his eyes. At a quick glance, I saw that there were various shops on both sides of the street, such as the Lingdan Pavilion that specialized in selling pills, and the Wanbao Building, which specialized in selling magic weapons. A quarter of an hour later, they came to the area dedicated to the sale of elixirs.
"Zhang Cheng, Liu An, do you know what is the name of the largest shop selling elixirs in this town?" Chu Yi asked eagerly.
"Young Master, the biggest shops selling elixirs in this town are Baicao Pavilion and Wanhua Building. However, there are so many shops here, let's take a look at them one by one, and we can also understand the prices of various elixirs. This time, it was the taciturn Zhang Cheng who replied first.
"Yes, according to your words. Chu Yi glanced at Zhang Cheng in surprise, and walked towards the nearest shop first.
There were no other customers in the shop, except for a shopkeeper in his sixties and a man in his eighteen or nineteen, who were dozing off. There is no coercion on these two people, and they seem to be just ordinary people.
Seeing this, Chu Yi couldn't help coughing lightly, waking the two of them up at the same time.
"Guest officer, what kind of elixir do you need to buy?" the guy saw that a customer came to the door, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked earnestly.
"Shopkeeper, do you have these elixirs in your store?" Chu Yi took out a sheet from his bosom, with a single item with the thirty-three elixirs needed to prepare the 'Yi Bone Spirit Liquid', and handed it to the buddy.
"Officer, there are thirty kinds of elixirs you need. The guy took a look and said with a smile.
At this time, the shopkeeper also came over, glanced at the single eye, and said with a slight change in his face: "The old man took the liberty to ask, I don't know what the guest officer wants for these three elixirs." These three elixirs, which are not available in the shop, are not rare, but they are rarely used by monks now. If you want to buy it, you should go to the largest Baicao Pavilion and Wanhualou in the town. ”
"These three elixirs are useful in the next place, don't break the rules. How much are these thirty elixirs in your store worth?" Chu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice.
This shopkeeper has been operating here for many years, how could he not know the rule of the Xiuzhen Realm that 'only buys and sells, and cannot intrude into the privacy of customers'. It was only when he saw that Chu Yi was young that he couldn't help but say something tentative, but he didn't expect to touch a soft nail. Of course, this so-called rule is only for those who are incapable of breaking it.
"Guest officer, this Red Pole Fruit is worth forty spirit stones, and the Water Cloud Grass is worth fifty spirit stones......" The guy immediately reported the price of these thirty kinds of elixirs, and the total value was eight hundred spirit stones.
Chu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, the elixir recorded on this single eye was only enough for seven days to be prepared into the 'Yi Bone Spirit Liquid'. In the case of the difference between the three flavors of the elixir, it is worth eight hundred spirit stones, and if it is calculated in this way, he will need four thousand spirit stones for a month of body refining. In this way, the spirit stone given by Uncle Zhao at parting was only enough for him for two months. And in the past two months, I don't know if I will be able to complete the requirements of the preliminary body refining, thinking about it like this, Chu Yi can't help but be secretly frightened.
"Guest officer, do you want to buy these thirty elixirs?" Seeing that Chu Yi was silent for a long time, the guy couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, don't buy it, I'm just curious, just take a look. Chu Yi shook his head when he heard this, and turned around with Liu and Zhang. The guy who had been busy for a long time was scolded in his heart.
Next, Chu Yi's master and servant looked at several shops of the same scale one after another. The results are basically the same, none of the three elixirs are there, and the price is similar. So, Chu Yi decided not to waste any more time and went straight to Baicao Pavilion.
When I entered the pavilion, I saw a middle-aged man whispering something with a gorgeous young woman, and from time to time there was a coquettish laughter of the young woman. The man in the pavilion saw a boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes of eight or nine years old, walking in with two young servants, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "I don't know what the guest officer needs, just give orders!"
"Are there any of these elixirs in this pavilion?" Chu Yi quietly took out the monocular from his arms and handed it over.
"Yes, this pavilion has all these elixirs that the guest officer needs!" the man said happily after glancing at one eye.
"How many spirit stones do you need for these elixirs?" Chu Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, this place really deserved to be the largest Baicao Pavilion in the town, and the elixirs were complete.
"Guest officer, these thirty-three elixirs are worth nine hundred and sixty spirit stones!" the guy hurriedly said after a little total.
Next, Chu Yi's face was full of pain, and Fu Qingling Stone walked out of the Hundred Grass Pavilion with a two-foot square brocade box.
"Young Master, do we need to buy any items next?" asked Liu An with a roll of his eyes.
"All the elixirs needed have been purchased, and there is only one jar of osmanthus brew that has been stored for more than a hundred years!
"Hehe, how can the villain's careful thinking be hidden from our wise and martial young master! As for the osmanthus brew, you can buy a jar on the way back. Liu An saw that Chu Yi was also moved, and couldn't help but pat his ass.
"Hehe, don't put a top hat on me, in that case, let's go around again. Chu Yi saw that it was still early, so he pushed the boat down the river and said.
So the three of them walked around the market again, and couldn't help but open their eyes. Although this city is small, it has all kinds of organs. There are not only the Ten Thousand Instruments Hall that sells magic weapons, but also the Refining Instrument Pavilion that refines magic weapons, as well as all the things that the monks need, such as pills, talismans, and array flags. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the three of them returned happy......
