"Hush!"
After more than ten days of rushing, Jiang Fan finally arrived at the imperial capital of Daxia.
What appeared in front of Jiang Fan was a majestic and magnificent city, with three majestic words - "Wu'an City" engraved on the city gate.
The city wall is towering into the clouds, solid and thick, like a towering barrier, solemnly guarding this prosperous city. There are magnificent towers standing on the city walls, and the soldiers are wearing armor and holding halberds, looking majestically into the distance.
A banner with the country's name "Da Xia" engraved on it fluttered on the top of the tower, fluttering in the wind, demonstrating the majesty of the imperial power to the world.
On both sides of the city gate, soldiers also wore heavy armor and held halberds, guarding the city gate closely.
At this moment, under the leadership of a guard general, the soldiers were carefully checking the passers-by. Even though there was a long queue outside the city gate, the soldiers did not relax.
The people standing in the queue waiting for the inspection seemed to have become accustomed to it. There were no complaints and everyone waited quietly for the inspection.
"As expected of the imperial capital of Great Xia! Compared with this place, the defense of Ziyang City pales into insignificance!" Jiang Fan sighed with emotion. Then he jumped off his horse, led the horse and merged into the crowded team.
After a long wait, Jiang Fan finally passed the interrogation of the city gate soldiers and finally entered the city.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the imperial capital, Jiang Fan immediately felt the unique prosperous atmosphere of the imperial capital.
The wide streets are paved with smooth bluestones, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians. Vendors were selling various products, and crowds of people were shuttling in and out of the shops, making it very lively.
The bustling flow of people and the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses demonstrate the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the imperial capital. The people in the city were gorgeously dressed, elegant and solemn, worthy of being the people living under the emperor's feet.
In addition to these wealthy people, some young monks dressed in sect costumes also shuttled among the crowd in groups, complementing the bustling imperial capital.
Compared with this prosperous imperial capital, these monks attracted Jiang Fan's attention more.
"I didn't expect that not only would the imperial capital be so prosperous, but there would even be so many monks!" Jiang Fan sighed with emotion and witnessed all this with his own eyes after entering Wu'an City.
"These monks must not be casual cultivators. They should be disciples of certain immortal sects, and their cultivation levels have almost reached the spiritual spring realm." Jiang Fan wore a bamboo hat and kept looking at the monks around him with his peripheral vision.
As the imperial capital of Daxia, Jiang Fan had already expected that there should be some powerful monks in Wu'an City, but he did not expect that there would be such a large number.
For the sake of caution, before entering the city, Jiang Fan deliberately took a Hidden Qi Pill to perfectly hide his cultivation. As long as he doesn't meet some powerful monks, Jiang Fan is just an ordinary mortal in the eyes of others.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. I'd better find someone to ask about the location of the Treasure Pavilion and buy the spiritual grass for Master to restore the power of the soul earlier." Jiang Fan thought in his mind.
Then, Jiang Fan casually bought something from the vendor and asked about the location of the Treasure Pavilion.
Treating his customers, the hawker owner enthusiastically informed Jiang Fan of the location of Zhenbao Pavilion without hesitation. Perhaps in his eyes, guests from out of town like Jiang Fan were already commonplace.
If Jiang Fan hadn't rejected the vendor owner's kindness in time, he might have started enthusiastically introducing the history of Zhenbao Pavilion to Jiang Fan.
I have to say that, driven by money, friendship can indeed be established quickly. This is Jiang Fan's most profound realization since he embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
According to the location provided by the vendor owner, Jiang Fan finally saw a nine-story attic building after passing through several busy street intersections.
Compared with the Zhenbao Pavilion in Ziyang City, the level of luxury of this loft has obviously been raised to another level, with two more floors.
Outside the Treasure Pavilion, there was a heavily guarded horse team parked, and in the middle of the horse team was a magnificent carriage.
Behind and behind the carriage were a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds. There were several monks holding spiritual weapons standing on both sides of the carriage, seemingly always alert to their surroundings.
"It seems that he is a noble from a noble family in Wu'an City." Jiang Fan couldn't help but be surprised.
These soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds were obviously not something ordinary families could possess. In addition, the monks beside the carriage were far more powerful than Jiang Fan.
"I wonder what kind of person Sister Yumei's father is..." Looking at Su Yumei's autographed letter, Jiang Fan sighed softly, then put the letter into the Qiankun bag again, and walked quickly towards the gate of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Master, please wait a moment!"
Just as Jiang Fan was about to walk through the door, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
This was completely different from the previous situation in Ziyang City. Not only did the other party not greet him enthusiastically, they seemed to want to interrogate him.
"What's wrong? Brother." Jiang Fan looked at the guard who stopped him with some confusion.
The guard replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Master, please show me your VIP card."
"VIP card? Can't you get in without a VIP card?" Jiang Fan was surprised.
The guard frowned, glanced at Jiang Fan, and then said seriously: "This young master must be coming to our Treasure Pavilion for the first time, right?"
Jiang Fan nodded, indicating that it was his first time here.
Seeing this, the guard continued: "Young Master may not know that our Treasure Pavilion is only open to the public when large-scale auctions are held. On weekdays, only VIPs of this pavilion can enter the pavilion to trade treasures."
"I didn't expect that the Zhenbao Pavilion in Wu'an City still has such rules. It can actually choose customers..." Jiang Fan thought to himself. He left in a hurry and didn't ask Sister Yumei more.
"Young Master?" Seeing that Jiang Fan was in a daze, the guard called softly.
"Oh, I just learned about your house's rules." Jiang Fan responded softly, then took out the black gold card from the Qiankun bag and handed it to the guard, and asked: "I wonder if the VIP card you just mentioned is This one?"
The guard who originally had a calm face suddenly showed a respectful look after seeing the black gold card handed over by Jiang Fan.
"Young Master, I was short-sighted and didn't know that the Young Master was here. Please forgive me!" The guard bent down and his voice was trembling.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the black gold card given by Sister Yumei would be so useful."
Then, Jiang Fan coughed lightly, leaned close to the guard's ear, and asked softly: "This little brother, to tell you the truth, this card was given by a friend of mine. I don't know what level of VIP it is in your pavilion." ?”
Faced with the huge change in the guard's attitude, Jiang Fan naturally wanted to find out the value of the black gold card Su Yumei gave him. Therefore, he did not pretend to be superior to others to embarrass the guards, he just wanted to understand some situations.
On the other side, the guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Fan didn't get angry and that it was exactly what he said.
This guard was also very polite. He seemed to have considered Jiang Fan's face and deliberately approached Jiang Fan's ear. Then he spoke seriously: "Sir, you may not know that there are three levels of VIPs in this pavilion. The levels are Silver Card, Gold Card and Black Gold Card.”
"Oh?" Jiang Fan was a little confused.
The guard continued: "When the treasure purchased in this pavilion reaches 5 million silver taels, you will get a silver card and enjoy a 10% discount; when the treasure purchase reaches 10 million silver taels, you will get a gold card and enjoy a 20% discount."
"As for the black gold card in your hand, young master, you must purchase treasures in this pavilion for 30 million silver taels before you can get it. At that time, you will not only enjoy a 30% discount when purchasing treasures, but you can also stay in this pavilion for free, and you will be protected by a guard." Guard 1 The tone was introduced in detail.
After hearing this, Jiang Fan suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this black gold card to be so valuable! It seems that Sister Yumei really spent a lot of money!" Even though Jiang Fan is now very wealthy, he still has to rely on his own strength to obtain this black gold card. There are still some difficulties.
Now that the doubts in his mind were solved, Jiang Fan said no more, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the guard, and then walked in on his own.
"Thank you young master, I wish you a good treasure!" The guard held the ten taels of silver in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.
I thought I would be scolded by this young master, but I didn't expect that not only was he not angry, but he was so generous, which made other guards envious.
"Master, do you know if I can be of service to you?"
As soon as Jiang Fan walked into the gate of Zhenbao Pavilion, a beautiful woman wearing a purple cheongsam walked over with a smile.
The purple cheongsam hugs the figure, starting from the waist and gradually spreading downwards, like a blooming flower, showing off her graceful figure to the fullest, making people fall in love with her.
Her face is beautiful, her skin is fair and delicate, as clear and transparent as spring water. The red lips were slightly parted, like a flower about to bloom, and the charming smile exuded the unique enchantment of a beautiful woman.
"As expected of the main store of Zhenbao Pavilion, an ordinary woman greeting guests can be so charming." Jiang Fan was surprised.
However, Jiang Fan didn't waste any time and immediately took out the black gold card again and handed it to the beautiful woman. After all, Jiang Fan had a deep experience of the effect of this black gold card outside the gate.
Sure enough, after seeing this black gold card, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed instantly, she quickly came to Jiang Fan's side, and asked in an even more charming voice: "Master, if you have any orders, just tell my sister. , Sister must satisfy the young master."
Jiang Fan's heart trembled when he heard this: "Is she willing to pledge her body to you..."
But getting back to the subject, Jiang Fan didn't want to waste time here.
Then, Jiang Fan took out the autographed letter from Su Yumei from the Qiankun bag, handed it to the beautiful woman, and replied: "This is the autographed letter from your eldest lady. I have something important to see the master of your pavilion. Please let me know." .”
After the beautiful woman saw the big words on the envelope, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise. Then she looked at Jiang Fan affectionately and said softly: "Master, please come with me!"
"Sister Yumei's arrangements are very thoughtful." Jiang Fan thought to himself, and then followed him.
