When I was a child, Malan City was too small to be worth mentioning.
Yang Yancheng, where he had lived for several years, seemed insignificant compared to Xia Yangcheng.
The size of Xingcheng is close to Xiayang City, but because it is built along the coast, it is relatively slender, not impressive, and is not a city of the same level.
Qianyun City in the Great Luo Empire is extremely spectacular and beautiful. There are different areas in the city and four distinct seasons. In terms of prosperity, it is still far behind Xia Yang City.
If you think about it carefully, such a large city, among the cities that Li Yunqing has walked through, its prosperity, grandeur, and area are undoubtedly the largest in Xia Yang City.
"As expected of the capital of our Great Xia Kingdom, it is not only majestic, but also exquisite." A look of shock appeared on Li Yunqing's cold and pretty face.
Li Yuan was also shocked inside, but Ling chuckled disdainfully in her mind, making him unhappy.
His gaze casually swept around, and he looked at Luo Zirou, who was not far away. The latter was also immersed in the beautiful scenery of Xia Yang City, and said with a smile: "Zirou, let's say goodbye. We will see you again in the future."
"Where are you going? If you don't have a place to stay, you can go to Da Luo's office in Daxia." Luo Zirou came back to her senses and said softly.
"No." Li Yuan waved his hand and sighed, "Thank you for taking care of us these past few years. We have been bothering you for so long. It's time to separate.
"I have some old friends in Xia Yang City that I haven't seen in many years. Let's go and walk around. You have a good talent. If the opportunity comes, you will have the opportunity to reach the Nirvana Realm.
"There are some Qing Yuan Dan with three lines here. With the abundant resources of your royal family, it will not be a big problem to break through to the Yuan Dan realm in about twenty years."
Li Yuan threw a storage bag towards Luo Zirou.
Stretching out her jade hand and taking the storage bag, Luo Zirou said gratefully: "You have given me a lot of pills in the past few years. I really deserve it."
"Let's go!" Li Yuan smiled faintly, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
"Sister Zirou, see you later." Li Yunqing said goodbye to Luo Zirou, and then quickly followed Li Yuan.
"Little Yaoyao, Shi Chen, let's go." Li Yuan looked at Yuan Yao having fun with Shi Chen in the distance, and had already put away the resentment he had been feeling for days.
Looking at Li Yuan's back gradually moving away, Luo Zirou felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, and murmured: "There is such a big difference between us. After all, you are just the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water."
After a long time, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth with tears in her eyes, turned around, and walked towards the Daluo Empire's team.
Yuan Yao skipped and weaved in and out of the crowd, and Li Yuan and the others followed unhurriedly behind.
"Xiao Yuanzi, where are we going now?" Li Yunqing, who was walking side by side with Li Yuan, asked after walking aimlessly through a few streets.
Rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Li Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "First go to the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce in Xia Yang City. It's time to pay off the debt they owed twenty years ago.
"I'll go to Qin's house later to see how far the two brothers have grown. Then... I'll go to Qian's auction house to see if I can find a lot of treasures. And then..."
"Okay, let's go to the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce first. We'll talk about what happens next." Li Yunqing smiled sweetly and interrupted quickly. Suddenly, he felt like he had arrived in Yangyan City for the first time.
Li Yuan smiled, nodded, and asked passers-by about the location of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce.
The Yunliu Chamber of Commerce was initially just a mercenary group, focusing on searching for materials and hunting monsters with great material value.
Starting from this, it gradually developed and became one of the six major chambers of commerce in Daxia.
With strong financial resources, even the six major families are far behind.
Within Daxia, you can see the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce in most towns and cities around mountains that are rich in large amounts of materials.
The headquarters of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce is located in the northwest area of the royal capital, with a very wide radius, covering a five-mile radius, all of which are Chamber of Commerce industries.
In Xiayang City, where every inch of land is precious, one can imagine its financial strength.
Li Yuan led Li Yunqing and others through just a few streets to the block where the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce headquarters was located. Flags with the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce's logo could be seen everywhere fluttering in the wind.
Looking at the approaching Chamber of Commerce headquarters building, a look of surprise appeared on Li Yunqing's pretty face.
Several pavilions are too tall, the tallest one is more than 100 feet high, which is very impressive.
Li Yunqing pointed to the tall building and said, "Xiao Yuanzi, that should be it."
"Probably, let's go." Li Yuan nodded.
"Let's go." Yuan Yao shouted with a smile, her thin body like a fish swimming through the crowd, sometimes jumping up and sometimes landing on Shi Chen's shoulders.
While moving forward, Li Yuan kept exploring the surrounding environment. The closer he got to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, the more powerful people there were.
There are many figures in the early and middle stages of Yuan Dan, and later on, there are also many people in the late Yuan Dan stage.
After a short time, several people came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce and stopped slowly.
"so big!"
Yuan Yao looked up at the giant plaque that was ten feet high and more than twenty feet wide and shouted.
Li Yuan looked around with a look of surprise. The fully armed guards at the door were all at the middle level of Yuan Dan Realm or above, a total of sixteen.
Each guard's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's eye, patrolling the crowds coming in and out of the Chamber of Commerce.
They were about to lift their legs to enter the Chamber of Commerce, but were stopped by one of the guards: "Excuse me, do you have a pass to enter the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Pass?" Li Yuan and others were startled when they heard this.
Go in and see what passes are needed and what the rules are.
Seeing that the four people didn't answer for a long time, it was obvious that they didn't. The guard quickly said: "You can't enter without a pass. I apologize for this unusual time, but please come back."
"Young Master Yuan, Miss Yunqing, are you also coming to the capital?"
Li Yuan had a not-so-good-looking expression on his face and was about to speak out, when an enthusiastic old man's voice came from behind him.
Hearing this, Li Yuan and others looked back and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Not far away, an old man in brocade clothes walked towards them with a warm smile on his face.
Li Yuan and Li Yunqing both frowned, feeling that this person was a bit familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before, but they couldn't remember.
"Do you know us? Who are you?" After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan asked.
The old man in golden clothes said with a smile: "Young Master Yuan, don't you remember me? I am Zhou Xuwen!"
The old man patted his blessed face.
"Zhou Xuwen? Who is it?" Li Yuan and Li Yunqing looked at each other.
"President Zhou of Yunliu Chamber of Commerce? Shopkeeper Zhou?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Xuwen nodded quickly.
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Not bad. After so many years, Shopkeeper Zhou has also advanced to the Void Realm and reached perfection."
"We just made a breakthrough a few days ago, all thanks to the cultivation of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, why do you look like this? Are you so old?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.
Zhou Xuwen smiled awkwardly and said: "I have changed a bit. You two are exactly the same as you were more than 20 years ago, without any change.
“My appearance is considered young for our age.
"Back then, when we first met in Yanyan City, we looked like we were only about forty, but in fact we were already fifty-one at that time.
"Although I have now reached the stage of perfecting the Void Realm, it is still the same as Shouyuan at that time. If you had seen me a few days ago, you would have been even more shocked.
"Not only has this level reached a new level, but I'm also slightly younger. Thirty years have passed and I'm already eighty-one this year, haha!"
After hearing Zhou Xuwen's explanation, Li Yuan and Li Yunqing suddenly realized.
"Haha. Shopkeeper Zhou, since we all know each other and are acquaintances, why don't you settle the accounts of Xingcheng back then?" Li Yuanhan said with a smile, then pointed at the guard just now, his smile turned displeased, "None of your guards are Let me in, what's going on?"
"Elder Zhou, I really didn't know, they are your guests." The guard said aggrievedly.
Gently waving his sleeves and asking the guards to retreat, Zhou Xuwen said respectfully to Li Yuan: "Young Master Yuan, that's it. Xia Lin is about to win the championship, and there are too many people who are confused, so we have no choice.
"The Chamber of Commerce is as strong as it is now, thanks to Mr. Yuan's help in Xingcheng. We must pay back the money. The president specifically told us that not only must we repay it, but we must also pay interest to Mr. Yuan."
"That's not bad." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then joked, "Why, you have become an elder of the Chamber of Commerce? Is the threshold for elders of your Yunliu Chamber of Commerce so low?"
Zhou Xuwen smiled and said: "As an elder, I was promoted to elder by the Chamber of Commerce thanks to the blessing of Young Master Yuan back then.
“Otherwise, without the perfect cultivation of Yuan Dan, the position of elder would be unthinkable.
"Come on, let's go in and chat slowly. It just so happens that the president has always wanted to meet Yuan Shan."
After saying that, he took Li Yuan and the four of them and headed inside.
Passing through the crowded chamber of commerce gate, passing through a twenty-foot passage, and entering the chamber of commerce hall.
The interior of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce is unique. The hall is huge, luxuriously decorated, carved beams and painted pillars. Dozens of moonstones as big as the face are placed. Rows of tree lanterns dozens of feet high are very domineering.
The entire hall is a hundred feet square, with various independent cabinets displaying various treasures with clearly marked prices.
Although there are countless treasures, they cannot cover up the medicinal smell that fills the air.
The pavilions on the left and right sides of the hall shrink inward. The innermost pavilion is sixty or seventy feet wide and more than a hundred feet high, with each floor measuring more than ten feet.
The guests in the hall are all at the Yuan Dan realm, which should be a cultivation rule that only existed during this period.
"Young Master Yuan, if you need anything, just ask. As long as our chamber of commerce has it, we will deliver it to you right away.
"No, we will help you find it. If you can't find it in Xiayang City, it is probably only found in the big sects." Zhou Xuwen said as he walked.
Li Yuan had a smile on his face and was secretly happy in his heart. He looked around and said casually: "Elder Zhou, then I'm not polite."
"Xiao Yuan, can we hang out here?" Yuan Yao finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked cautiously, while rubbing Li Yunqing with her little arm.
With a faint smile, Li Yunqing said softly: "Xiao Yuanzi, you go with Elder Zhou. I'll watch her."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao looked happy, blinked her big watery eyes, and looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had no choice but to nod lightly, before taking two steps, he paused, turned his head to Shi Chen and said, "Follow them both."
Only then did he feel free to follow Zhou Xuwen.
In Xia Yang City, there are strong people like clouds, so be careful.
Zhou Xuwen led Li Yuan to a hall on the ninth floor of the innermost pavilion.
On the ninth floor of this building, only elders of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce can come up.
Entering the hall, a chill hit me.
Li Yuan blinked his eyes and looked in the direction of the cold air. A slightly familiar white figure appeared in his sight.
The white moiré dress wrapped her soft and charming body. His eyes moved to his neck, his skin was like snow, and his beautiful and frozen cheeks showed no expression at all. Li Yuan blurted out: "Yun Bingxuan?"
Hearing the sound, Yun Bingxuan looked sideways, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Li Yuan?"
"Pavilion Master Yun?" Li Yuan was startled and quickly raised his hands.
"You two know each other?" the silver-haired old woman next to Yun Bingxuan asked in surprise.
Yun Bingxuan said coldly: "We had a chance encounter."
The silver-haired old woman looked at Zhou Xuwen and asked, "Xu Wen, who is this?"
"President, this is Mr. Yuan who led a group of high-level alchemists in Xingcheng more than 20 years ago to help our chamber of commerce in refining medicine." Zhou Xuwen said respectfully.
"Young Master Yuan, I have admired your name for a long time. For more than twenty years, I have always wanted to see Young Master Yuan. It is a pity that such an expert as Young Master Yuan has never been able to meet him.
"I mentioned you to Senior Yun just now. I didn't expect you to show up now. It seems that Senior Yun is destined to be you." After hearing this, the silver-haired old woman slowly walked towards Li Yuan and said repeatedly.
Li Yuan glanced at Zhou Xuwen and motioned for the latter to introduce him.
"I am Mei Xuan, the president of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce." Seeing this, the silver-haired old woman smiled and said, "Xu Wen, you go down first."
Zhou Xuwen bowed and exited the hall.
Mei Xuan led Li Yuan to sit down and said with a smile: "Since you two know each other, you don't need me to introduce you."
Li Yuan nodded and immediately asked: "Why do you two talk about me?"
In fact, he wanted to know why Yun Bingxuan appeared here. With his identity, he should not have anything to do with Yunliu Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, Yunliu Chamber of Commerce is not just one of the six major chambers of commerce in Daxia.
Through conversations with Mei Xuan and Yun Bingxuanxue, Li Yuan understood the whole story.
More than twenty years ago, Li Yuan deceived the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce in Xingcheng, saying that there were many high-level alchemists behind him. In fact, he was the one who refined those pills through the Qiankun Cauldron.
However, the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce believed Li Yuan's words and really thought that there were many high-level alchemists behind him.
Li Yuan refined a lot of condensed elixirs for them, and they were all of the best three-grain quality.
In Mei Xuan's mind, she believed that he had a large number of high-level alchemists, and they were at least king-level alchemists.
Mei Xuan has been searching for Li Yuan for more than 20 years, but there is still no news about the latter.
At that time, Yun Lanyue, the vice president of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce and the person in charge of the chamber of commerce in Xingcheng, was a member of Yun Bingxuan's tribe.
When Yun Bingxuan was five or six years old, the two of them lived together for a few months.
At that time, Yun Bingxuan was only in his twenties, and he looked the same as now, with a face of about 20 years old.
Later, Yun Bingxuan entered the Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion and stayed in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Valley for retreat in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Domain.
Not long after breaking through to the Yuanshen Realm, Yun Bingxuan took over as the Pavilion Master without ever setting foot in Daxia.
More than four months ago, when Yun Bingxuan stepped into the land of Daxia again, it had been two hundred years since he left.
Things have changed in the Yun family, and the already sparse clan members have long since disappeared.
In the past few months, after many inquiries, I finally found the whereabouts of Yun Lanyue.
When the two met again, Yun Lanyue was nearing the end of her life and was bedridden.
Yun Bingxuan took the life-extending pill for him, which only extended his life for half a month.
Before Yun Lanyue's death, Yun Bingxuan learned that the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce had received help from a man named Li Yuan.
If the Li Yuan she met was the same person, it would confirm their previous suspicion about Li Yuan and that there was a powerful alchemist behind him.
Yun Lanyue was gone, and Yun Bingxuan no longer had any worries. He came to say goodbye to Mei Xuan today, and then he bumped into Li Yuan.
