Xian'an City has become obviously lively recently. Most of the large and small inns are full, and the number of vendors has increased exponentially. Even wandering merchants who rarely set foot in Xian'an City in the past have appeared in twos and threes. These wandering merchants are well-informed and sell many items. There are all kinds of strange things, and there are even things used by Yuan Xiu.
Baoli Pavilion had a new shopkeeper a few days ago, and there were a lot of new items for sale in the pavilion, all of which were Yuan Xiu's items. Baoli Pavilion has numerous branches in Qianzhou, has strong financial resources and is well-informed. Every move it makes must be taken first.
Baoli Pavilion never does business at a loss. It suddenly started selling Yuanxiu items in Xian'an, a small town in Qianzhou Changguo. It must be because there must be a market in Xian'an City.
Xian'an City has not produced a serious Yuan Xiu for nearly a hundred years. The city lord's palace and several major families have jointly spent a lot of money to build the pulse measuring array, but it has been disappointing every year. You must know that every time the pulse measuring array is opened, a large amount of Yuan Stone is required. The cost of these primeval stones was also shared between the city lord's mansion and the major families. Yuan Stone is not only expensive, but also requires a lot of trouble to obtain, which is extremely difficult. It is frustrating to keep giving without seeing any return. Over time, some families have thought of giving up and no longer want to spend money on pulse testing.
Perhaps Xian'an City felt God's desire and dedication for Yuan Xiu. During the pulse test half a month ago, Xian'an City detected Yuan Mei for the first time, and it also detected three people at once. Lin Lang of the Lin family had three bright pulses, and the Liu family The Liu Fiya of the Fang family has two bright veins, and the Fang Qi of the Fang family has two bright veins and a dark vein. Of course, if you insist on killing someone, Lin Yang, who has only one dark vein, can also be counted as one.
As long as someone in the city detects the Yuanmai, the city lord's palace can send invitations to all the Yuanxiu sects that can be contacted. At that time, the interested sects will send Yuanxiu to Xian'an City to measure the pulse again to confirm, and then decide whether to Includes entrance wall.
In the past few days, Yuan Xiu has arrived in Xian'an City one after another. On the 16th of this month, Yuan Xiu from each sect will hold a pulse measuring ceremony in Xian'an City. And this pulse measurement is not limited to the major families in Xian'an City. Children of the family, but will be open to all people of appropriate age. Of course, if you want to enter the venue to take a pulse test, you still need to pay a fee, and the fee is not low. Although Yuan Xiu is extremely powerful and superior, he still needs money.
It was already the beginning of the new year, and Baoli Pavilion was preparing to close its doors. There was only one clerk taking stock of the goods in the huge exhibition hall.
A man in gray clothes wearing a bamboo hat and old clothes slowly entered the Baoli Pavilion exhibition hall.
After a tiring day, he was about to close the shop and rest, and now he had to entertain guests again, so the waiter was naturally unhappy.
"Sir, what do you need?" Although the waiter was a little reluctant, he still forced a smile and came forward.
"Do you have a vitality pill?" The man in gray pushed up the bamboo hat that covered his face slightly, revealing a young and handsome face. He was clearly Lin Yang.
"Huomai Pill?" The clerk looked at Lin Yang's clothes and said with a bit of sarcasm: "We have everything in Baoli Pavilion, but I'm afraid the guest officer doesn't have it in his pocket."
In the past, Lin Yang would definitely have taught the clerk a lesson, but at this moment, Lin Yang did not have any mood swings and said slowly: "Brother, please tell me the price of the Huomai Pill."
The man stretched out five fingers lazily.
"Five silver?" Lin Yang knew that the price of Huomai Dan was high, but he did not expect it to be so high. The coins of Tianyuan Continent are divided into three measurement units: copper, silver, and gold. One hundred coppers are equal to one silver, and one hundred silvers are equal to one gold.
You know, in Tianyuan Continent, ordinary people, a family of four spend about three or four silver dollars a year, and a Huo Mai Dan can be sold for five silver dollars, which surprised Lin Yang.
"It's fifty silver!" The waiter rolled his eyes, looking sarcastic at Lin Yang for not having seen the world.
Most of Lin Yang's belongings were lost at Duanhun Cliff, and now he only has about forty silver in total, and he can't even afford a vitality pill.
"Brother, do you have any defective vitality pills in your pavilion?" Lin Yang asked tentatively.
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?" The waiter immediately turned his face and angrily reached out his hand to grab Lin Yang's collar.
Although Lin Yang repeatedly warned himself to keep a low profile and not let his whereabouts be exposed, he could not hold back at this moment. He lightly touched the clerk's wrist with one finger. The clerk immediately felt like he was being shocked by lightning. He retracted his hand.
"How dare you do something in our Baoli Pavilion!" The man suffered a loss and shouted loudly, obviously wanting to call for help.
"What are you yelling about?"
A soft and charming voice came from afar, and then, a woman in red, about twenty-five or sixty-six years old, with a beautiful face, plump figure, and graceful walking appeared in the exhibition hall.
"Shopkeeper, this person deliberately caused trouble in our Baoli Pavilion and even beat me up!" The villain first complained.
"Shut up! If this distinguished guest really attacks you, how can you still stand here alive?" The woman in red glanced at the waiter coldly and reprimanded: "Why don't you apologize to the distinguished guest quickly!"
The waiter's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly bent down to Lin Yang and handed over his hands, apologizing again and again.
"Get out of here!" The woman in red asked the man to step aside when she saw Lin Yang's expression softening slightly.
"My maid Nalan Yu is the shopkeeper of Baoli Pavilion in Xian'an City. I just wanted to thank you for showing mercy to me." Nalan Yu bowed and continued, "My maid is incompetent and has offended you a lot. Please forgive me. Why? I would like to express my apologies to the young master. If there are any items in the pavilion that the young master likes, they will be discounted by 30%."
Nalan Yu was always smiling when talking to Lin Yang. Coupled with her beautiful face, Lin Yang's newly rising anger gradually extinguished. Lin Yang was overjoyed when he heard that Nalan Yu actually wanted to give him a 30% discount. After the 30% discount, he already had enough money to buy a Huimai Pill, and he still had a little extra.
"The shopkeeper's kindness is so disrespectful. Then give me a Pulse Revitalizing Pill!" Lin Yang decided at once, fearing that Nalan Yu would regret it.
Nalan Yu didn't say anything, and then winked at the waiter who was waiting timidly.
The waiter understood and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from the display cabinet and handed it to Nalan Yu respectfully.
"Sir, please check." Nalan Yu handed the small porcelain bottle to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang gently opened the cork of the bottle, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately spread in the exhibition hall. After carefully checking the elixir inside, Lin Yang put the porcelain bottle into his arms after confirming that it was correct.
"The money is clear." Lin Yang paid the money and was about to leave.
"Sir, I still have some inferior revitalizing pills here. I wonder if you are interested?" Nalan Yu still smiled like a flower.
Lin Yang immediately became alert, because when he asked the clerk about the incomplete Huomai Pill, Nalan Yu was not in the exhibition hall at all.
"This Nalan Yu is not simple!" Lin Yang slightly distanced himself from Nalan Yu without leaving any trace.
Nalan Yu clearly saw Lin Yang's thoughts and said with a smile: "Master, please don't misunderstand. Our Baoli Pavilion exhibition hall has a special design. We can know and listen to the situation in the exhibition hall later. Just now I happened to hear Master in I asked Zanci about the Huomai Dan, so I asked him this question. Please don’t blame me if I offend you."
Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I wonder what the price of your inferior Huomai Pill is? To be honest, I don't have much money at the moment."
Nalan Yu straightened his long black hair and said softly: "Our Baoli Pavilion never sells defective products to outsiders. However, there was an accident during the transportation of some Huomai Pills the day before yesterday. Part of the potency of the medicine has been lost, and I was worried about how to deal with it. By chance, the young master came to consult. From this, it seems that the young master is destined to these activating pulse pills, and it is also the destiny between our Baoli Pavilion and the young master. Since we are so destined, I will take them. How about a cost price of ten defective Huimai Pills, a total of ten silver?"
"Deal!" Lin Yang made the decision immediately without even thinking about it.
Although almost all the money he had was used up, he got one Huomai Pill and ten defective Huomai Pills. The harvest exceeded expectations. Lin Yang was satisfied, put away the pills, and exchanged a few words with Nalan Yu. Then left Baoli Pavilion.
"Xiao Yu'er, I lost this deal to my grandma's family. This is not your style. Could it be that you have a crush on someone else?" As soon as Lin Yang walked out of Baoli Pavilion, an old man with a white beard appeared in Nalan Yu's house. around.
"Grandpa Gu, don't make fun of me." Nalan Yu no longer had the air of being the shopkeeper of Baoli Pavilion at this moment. He looked like a shy girl, and said with a peach blossom face: "Grandpa Gu has been in Xian'an City for a few days. I should have heard about it. Are you done with the Lin family’s business?”
"You said he is Lin Yang? Isn't he dead?" The white-bearded old man looked confused.
"Only Lin Siyuan's body was found in Duanhun Cliff. Doesn't this illustrate the problem? Grandpa Gu is proficient in the art of physiognomy. Do you think Lin Yang has a short-lived physiognomy?" Nalan Yu explained softly.
The white-bearded old man pinched his beard and thought for a while, then nodded, gave Nalan Yu a thumbs up, and praised: "Such a thoughtful thought, no wonder your father would trust you to come to Xian'an City!"
Nalan Yu pretended to be angry and said: "There are still three days before the public pulse test on the 16th. Except for Fang Qi and Lin Yang, no one in Xian'an City needs the Huo Pulse Pill now. And the Fang family has received the pulse test from us a few days ago. I bought three Huimai Pills. After such analysis, it is not difficult to guess that this person is Lin Yang. Grandpa Gu, please don’t make fun of me anymore, if you make fun of me again, I will get angry."
"Lin Yang has a dark vein cultivation qualification. With one activating pulse pill and ten useless inferior activating pulse pills, the chance of activating the dark vein is almost zero. Even if he is lucky enough to turn the dark vein into Mingmai is just a Mingmai, and there are a lot of people with such low qualifications. Moreover, Lin Yang's reputation is not very good, and he has been expelled by the Lin family. Why do you need to show such a person to him? Okay." The white-bearded old man was a little confused.
Nalan Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I have carefully observed Lin Yang's words and deeds just now, and I know that he is upright and there must be something hidden in the Lin family's affairs. If other people were in Lin Yang's situation, most of them would have given up on themselves. But Lin Yang did not Give up, even if it is a shoddy Huimai Dan, you have to try it. You know that you can't do it, but your courage alone is enough to be admired. Moreover, even if Lin Yang cannot activate the Yuanmai in the end, he cannot become a Yuanxiu. , in the future he will definitely reach the top of the martial arts, become a ninth-level warrior, and dominate the world. If he can form a good relationship with such a person, what does a few Vitality Pills mean?"
…
Xian'an City, abandoned old houses.
Lin Yang was sitting in front of a low table. On the low table were two porcelain vases, one large and one small, and a green, palm-sized gourd.
The small porcelain bottle contained the Huomai Pill, and the large porcelain bottle contained ten defective Huomai Pills, and the green gourd was the Tianhe Gourd given to him by Feng Zhuiyue.
Lin Yang carefully poured the Huimai Dan from the small porcelain bottle into his hand and looked at it carefully.
Huomai Dan is round and round, about the same size as a peanut, yellow with green in it, and has a zigzag pattern on its smooth surface that looks like a dragon or a snake. Lin Yang knew that these lines were called red lines. The more pill patterns there are, the higher the quality of the pill. This pulse-activating pill has only one pill pattern, which is the lowest quality single-line vein-activating pill.
Lin Yang took out the defective Huomai Pills from the large porcelain bottle. These defective Huomai Pills all had only one pill pattern, and their surfaces had more or less pits. Some have even cracked.
After studying the elixir in his hand, Lin Yang touched the Tianhe gourd anxiously, and then stuffed the intact Huo Mai Dan into the spout of the Tianhe gourd.
When the Huomai Dan fell into the Tianhe gourd, it made a clanging sound, and then spun around for a few times before quietly stopping at the bottom of the gourd.
"Senior Feng, I believe in you, you will not lie to me!" Lin Yang clasped his hands together. Although he was chanting like this, his heart was already beating a drum. After all, Feng Zhuiyue was obviously drunk that day in the sea of consciousness. He will be sober for a while and be confused, which is hard to believe.
After saying that, Lin Yang tentatively added a defective pulse-activating pill into the Tianhe gourd.
A breath passed, and there was no movement in the Tianhe gourd;
Two breaths passed, but still no movement;
Three breaths passed, but still no movement;
On the fourth breath, Lin Yang's breathing became a little heavy, and the fear that the hope he had finally raised was about to be shattered made his heart beat violently.
During the fifth breath, the Tianhe gourd began to sway, first gently, then gradually increasing in amplitude, and finally, using the bottom of the gourd as a fulcrum, it began to sway back and forth on the low table like a roly-poly.
Shaking, Tianhe Gourd slowly slowed down the speed and amplitude of shaking.
Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief. When the Tianhe Gourd stopped shaking and came to a complete stop, he couldn't wait to grab the Tianhe Gourd and dump it into his palm. The defective Huimai Pill had disappeared, leaving only the intact one. Vital Pulse Pill. Moreover, Lin Yang was delighted to find that there was an extra pill pattern on the surface of this Vital Pulse Pill. Although this pill pattern was only a small part exposed, it was already clearly distinguishable.
"The elixirs have really started to upgrade. Senior Feng didn't lie to me!" Lin Yang was ecstatic. Without hesitation, he threw all the defective elixirs in his hand into the Tianhe gourd.
The Tianhe Gourd began to move again, still rocking back and forth like a tumbler, but the amplitude of the shaking was significantly larger than before.
After a while, Tianhe Gourd became still again. Lin Yang gently tilted the Tianhe gourd down, and a dripping pulse-activating pill rolled down into the palm of Lin Yang's hand. On the surface of the pill, two snake-like pill lines were clearly visible.
