Walking through the bustling streets, there are many shops on both sides, and the sound of hawking is endless.
Weapons shop, medicine shop, clothing shop, etc., all are dizzying.
The population of Chancheng is twice as much as that of Canglan City. It is a real land of plenty, backed by the Taihang Mountains, which opens up business links with Lincheng. It is not too far from Canglan City. It can be said that there are outstanding people and talented people.
In the past few years, Chancheng's status has been getting higher and higher. Last year, it won second place in the elixir discussion conference, which established Chancheng's status in the elixir industry of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Liu Wuxie walked and walked, occasionally passing by a few shops and going in to browse, just looking at what to buy.
Ordinary things don't appeal to him, and good things may not be sold.
After walking for about half an hour, there was a noise from the front of the street, and many people gathered, standing on tiptoes to look in.
"What happened over there?"
Liu Wuxie came to Chancheng for the first time and was not familiar with the place. Lei Tao, on the other hand, had been here many times and had some official business dealings, so he was quite familiar with the place.
"In front of you is the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce, a free market in Chan City. It sells all kinds of items, most of which are not common in the market and are mainly novel."
Lei Tao quickly explained that the background of the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce is also not simple. The layout of Canglan City is too small and there is no chamber of commerce in it.
The daily passenger flow is huge, and Qianxi Chamber of Commerce can find things that cannot be obtained through normal channels, making it a favorite place for warriors to hang out.
There are often rumors that someone found a mysterious treasure at Qianxi Chamber of Commerce.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The purpose is to increase your knowledge. How can you miss this kind of thing? Not only can you increase your knowledge, but you can also buy some useful items.
Passing through the crowd, the gate of Qianxi Chamber of Commerce is more than five meters high, with six doors that can accommodate ten people passing through at the same time.
Facing you is a huge hall, divided into six passages. After entering, you can choose your own path. This is Free City. If you like something, you can talk to the merchants.
It is very different from the usual counters. This place is mainly for exhibitions. On the walls on both sides, there are famous paintings, many strange and strange things that are incomprehensible, and some monster teeth.
Between the wall and the passage, a groove more than one meter wide was dug out and separated by water flow. You can only see but not touch. Everything depends on your own eyesight.
"Are the things here really valuable?"
Liu Wuxie walked to the aisle on the right, glanced at the goods on the shelves on both sides, and couldn't help but ask.
"It is said that some people bought ancient secret books, and some people said that they bought fragments of magic weapons."
Lei Tao touched his head. They were all rumors. Whether they were true or false was not very clear.
Smiling slightly, Liu Wuxie didn't take it seriously. The two of them continued to walk forward. As they entered the depths, the flow of passengers was obviously much less, and everyone gathered outside.
In the outer area, all ordinary items are sold. When entering the depths, most of them are calligraphy and painting, or recently unearthed antiquities, which are expensive and have stopped countless people.
After passing through the corridor, the front view suddenly opened up, and we stepped into a building with an arc roof. Standing inside were seven or eight young talents, who were commenting on the paintings and calligraphy on the wall.
"I heard that this famous painting was painted by Mr. Mo. Unfortunately, the price is too expensive. If it's a little cheaper, I can buy it back and collect it."
The young man in blue stared at a landscape painting and made a tut-tsk sound.
"Brother Du, are you sure this painting is by Mr. Mo? I heard that Mr. Mo is not good at landscape paintings. This painting should be by Mr. Kuang. Look at the scenery in the painting. It is arrogant and uninhibited. I agree with Mr. Kuang." personality.”
The two people obviously have different opinions. Mr. Mo and Mr. Kuang are both famous painters. Every time their works come out, they will be robbed.
They were painters from the previous dynasty. After a hundred years of war, there are not many original paintings left on the market, and each one is priceless.
When Liu Wuxie entered this area, more than a dozen eyes swept over him, one of which had a hint of viciousness.
"Hey, the alchemist from Canglan City is also here. Shouldn't we be hiding in the Alchemy Pavilion at this time and studying alchemy knowledge like crazy to avoid making a fool of ourselves in public tomorrow?"
An extremely sarcastic voice came from the mouth of a young man. Liu Wuxie came in and only looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall without caring about other people. He had just set foot here and was ridiculed by others.
"Brother Xiao, who is this person? Do you know him?"
The young man in blue showed a hint of amusement and looked Liu Wuxie up and down, with a hint of ill-intention in his eyes.
"He is the new alchemist in Canglan City. He is not even hairy. I guess Canglan City can't find a suitable candidate."
Xiao Mingyi sneered. He met them not long ago, and the two sides had a verbal dispute. They met again so soon.
The other young people looked over with curious faces, puzzled and confused...
Liu Wuxie could see everyone's expressions, whether they were mocking or sneering, there was no fluctuation on their faces, and they still looked at the calligraphy and paintings quietly.
Lei Tao had just told him the information about these people. The speaker was Xiao Mingyi, Yun Lan's direct disciple. It was this Xiao Mingyi who instigated Wen Song to make things difficult for him.
The young man in blue is called Du Mingze. He is from Ningcheng. He is a three-star alchemist with a very high status. He ranked sixth in Ningcheng last year.
The other young people came from different big cities and had known each other for a long time.
Xiao Mingyi mocked him for a long time, but Liu Wuxie didn't even have the intention to respond. It was like a punch on cotton, which was so weak that it made him go crazy.
"Boy, how dare you ignore me."
With a slight whistle, he strode towards Liu Wuxie, ready to take action if he disagreed with her. He stood opposite Liu Wuxie and saw how you would avoid it this time.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Liu Wuxie's eyes were full of ridicule, and Xiao Mingyi almost choked to death with one sentence. The matter was far from over: "From the moment you came in, you are like a dog, biting everyone you see. Ignore you because you are not worthy of me taking a look. Are you...satisfied with this answer?"
An invisible slap hit Mingyi's face hard, and his face turned red, like a furious lion.
I ignore you because you don't deserve it. I ignore you because you are a dog.
What could be more vicious than this? Xiao Mingyi was a dignified two-star alchemist. His hair exploded, and the terrifying murderous intent swept out with him as the center. The water on both sides made a splashing sound and splashed to the ground.
"You want to take action?"
Liu Wuxie showed a harmless smile. As long as he dared to take action, he would be killed immediately.
The two of them were frozen like this. Xiao Mingyi clenched his fists and was about to raise his hand when he was stopped by someone: "This little brother, are you from Canglan City and are you an alchemist?" A slightly fat man stood up and hit him. Cut them both off.
This person's name is Wan Yichun, from Pingcheng. He was ranked thirty-one last year, one place lower than Boundless City.
He nodded and answered Wan Yichun. He really didn't have a good impression of the people present. He didn't know what he had eaten. He had developed a bossy and arrogant attitude.
"Since we are all alchemists, let's talk it over properly. We are all refined scholars. Fighting and killing is what a warrior should do."
Many alchemists disdain to be confused with warriors, consider themselves to be noble professionals, and develop a high-minded character.
"Brother Wan is right. We are all alchemists of the Danbao Pavilion. Fighting and killing are harmful to the scenery. There are so many famous paintings and calligraphy. We might as well appreciate the paintings and poems. Isn't it beautiful?"
Several other people followed suit, thinking that what Yichun said was reasonable. The alchemist mainly focused on refining alchemy, and there were very few fights.
With so many people trying to persuade him to make peace, the murderous intent in Xiao Mingyi's eyes slowly dissipated, and he glared at Liu Wuxie fiercely, as if to tell you that this matter is not over with you.
"Brother Liu, since you represent Canglan City and we are all a family, we might as well enjoy the calligraphy and paintings together."
Du Mingze took the initiative to invite, and refusing would be disrespectful. Among the people present, he had the highest status, and those geniuses ranked in the top five rarely appeared.
Rejecting means offending Du Mingze, and agreeing means that they will definitely find a way to target him. It is really a dilemma.
"Brother Du invites me, how dare I refuse?"
Liu Wuxie's posture was very low, which was unexpected by everyone, including Lei Tao. Where is your domineering character? Compromised so quickly?
Even Du Mingze was stunned by this answer. His attitude changed a little too quickly. He insulted Xiao Mingyi as a dog, and now he was so humble and polite. It was really unpredictable.
"Brother Liu, we were studying this landscape painting just now. I think it is the work of Mr. Mo, but Brother Xiao thinks it is the work of Mr. Kuang. I wonder what Brother Liu has to say?" Du Mingze pointed to the painting and asked Liu Wuxie for advice.
Several people came to the picture just now. It was a landscape work. The background was based on the Taihang Mountains. There were many characters and monsters fighting in the painting. It was so lifelike that it gave people an immersive feeling.
"Brother Du thinks too highly of him. At this age, and coming from a place like Canglan City where nothing matters, I'm afraid he has never seen such a precious painting. We'd better not force others to do anything."
Xiao Mingyi suddenly interjected, his tone full of sarcasm, causing many people to cover their mouths and chuckle.
They had a close relationship and had communicated with each other for several years. Liu Wuxie had just arrived. Who would offend a rising alchemy genius for a young boy?
Du Mingze and Xiao Mingyi have a surprisingly good relationship. They came out of Ningcheng together. By chance, Xiao Mingyi became a disciple of Yun Lan, and the two have always been in contact with each other in private.
"I agree with Brother Xiao. At this age and just after weaning, asking him to appreciate the painting is the greatest insult to the painting."
Another person jumped out, this person was even more unscrupulous, and every word he spoke was filled with deep hatred.
Meicheng alchemist, Xue Chou.
Disciples of the Xue family know a little about Xue Yu and the Xu family.
Others followed suit, and the corners of Du Mingze's mouth raised slightly, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
From beginning to end, Liu Wuxie smiled and said nothing, turning a deaf ear to everyone's ridicule and their humiliation, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Someone, go take a photo of this painting. I bought it."
Xiao Mingyi shouted, and the guards behind him immediately ran out. Soon a deacon from the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce came over and took down the landscape painting.
"Brother Xiao is so courageous. He spent one million gold coins to buy a calligraphy and painting. Xue really admires him."
Xue Qiu flattered him. This painting was worth a lot of money, up to one million gold coins, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.
If it is really written by Mr. Kuang, the price is much higher than that. Even if it costs five million, someone will buy it. I heard that there is a secret hidden in every painting by Mr. Kuang.
Kuanglao is not only a master of calligraphy and painting, but also a master of martial arts. He has reached the true elixir realm, and his paintings contain martial arts will. This is why his paintings are so expensive.
The two parties quickly completed the delivery, and only genius alchemists like them had no shortage of gold coins.
"Liu is also very impressed! Spending one million gold coins to buy a broken painting that is not worth even ten gold coins."
A sudden voice interrupted everyone.
