After Lin Yang left Situ Lei's wooden house, he did not go to the Lin family immediately. He had been patient for more than half a year and he was not in a hurry for the moment.
Baoli Pavilion has been operating in Xian'an City for more than half a year. The young and beautiful female shopkeeper is generous and decent in dealing with people, and she is also childlike and innocent, making Baoli Pavilion's business in Xian'an City booming.
"Sir, what do you need?"
As soon as a tall and thin young man with a pale face entered the Baoli Pavilion of Xian'an City, he was warmly greeted by a smiling waiter.
"Brother, please invite the shopkeeper over." The tall and lanky young man politely raised his hand towards the clerk.
After hesitating for a moment, the clerk led the tall and lanky young man to the reception room on one side of the exhibition hall. After asking the tall and thin young man to wait for a moment, the waiter went to the back hall of Baoli Pavilion.
After a while, a beautiful young woman with a good face, plump figure, and graceful walking walked into the reception room. She was Nalan Yu, the shopkeeper of Baoli Pavilion in Xian'an City.
"Young master, I have been waiting for you for a long time. This little girl, Nalan Yu, is the shopkeeper of Baoli Pavilion in Xian'an City. I wonder if you have anything to tell me?"
The tall and thin young man cupped his hands towards Nalan Yu and said, "Shopkeeper Nalan is too polite. How dare you give me orders? I heard that your pavilion has Yuanji Dan for sale, so I came here to consult. I would also like to ask the shopkeeper to inform you in detail."
The tall and lanky young man was Lin Yang who had used the Art of Enchanting the Gods. He glanced at Nalan Yu pretending to be casual and found that Nalan Yu was still beautiful after not seeing him for more than half a year, but he was a little more mature and capable.
Nalan Yu smiled slightly and said: "We do have Yuan Ji Dan for sale in our pavilion. If you decide to buy it, you still need to make an appointment. After all, it is not easy to refine Yuan Ji Dan. We Baoli Pavilion does not have much stock, so we need to get it from elsewhere. . If you make an appointment today, the goods will arrive in about three days."
"I wonder what the price of Yuan Ji Dan is?" Lin Yang asked softly.
"A single-grain Yuanji Dan, five thousand low-grade Yuan stones." Nalan Yu responded slowly.
"Five thousand low-grade Yuan Stones?" Lin Yang thought he heard wrongly. He bought ten spiritual herbs for refining Yuan Ji Dan, excluding water drop grass of course. He only spent two thousand low-grade Yuan Stones, but one Yuan Ji Dan He was actually sold for 5,000 low-grade Yuan stones. How could this not surprise him?
"Shopkeeper, Yuan Ji Dan is a third-grade elixir. Why is it sold at such a high price?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask. He was already a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that Nalan Yu was raising the price indiscriminately. If Nalan Yu hadn't sold the Living Pulse Pill and the Waste Pill to Lin Yang at a low price, so that Lin Yang could activate the dark veins, Lin Yang would have probably questioned him coldly.
Nalan Yu's beautiful big eyes glanced over Lin Yang's face, seeming to see the unhappiness in Lin Yang's heart. She smiled sweetly and said: "Sir, you must know that water drop grass is needed to refine Yuan Ji Dan. This You must also know the characteristics of water drop grass. It is true that Yuan Ji Dan is only a third-grade elixir, but its output is insufficient. It is often difficult to find one pill on the market. The price of four thousand lower-grade Yuan stones is not high. If it is in short supply, , it can even be sold for eight thousand or even tens of thousands of low-grade Yuan stones."
Lin Yang was startled. He knew that Nalan Yu was telling the truth. After all, Yuan Ji Dan was hard to find in their Danxia sect.
"Okay, four thousand is four thousand. I want ten Yuan Ji Dan!" Lin Yang said almost through gritted teeth. Ten Yuan Ji Dan would cost almost half of his savings.
"Ten?" Nalan Yu was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Sir, a Yuan Xiu can only take three Yuan Ji Dan!"
Lin Yang said angrily: "I'm not taking it alone."
"You made me laugh." Nalan Yu realized his gaffe and explained: "Not many people come to Baoli Pavilion in Xian'an City to buy Yuan Xiu supplies. For someone like me to buy ten Yuan Ji Dan at once, This is my first time seeing you." After a pause, Nalan Yu said apologetically: "Master, if you only want three single-grain Yuan Ji Dan, I can promise that it will be delivered to the master within three days, but If there are ten coins, I can't guarantee that I can prepare them all for you within three days, it may take more time."
"I'm not in a hurry about time. I wonder how long it will take you to prepare all ten Yuan Ji Dan?" Lin Yang was not in a hurry to return to the Danxia Sect.
"If you are not in a hurry, I guarantee that ten Yuan Ji Dan will be delivered to you within six days!" Nalan Yu said with certainty.
"Okay, I can wait for six days. However, 40,000 low-grade Yuanshi is a big deal. The shopkeeper has to give me some discounts or discounts, right?" Lin Yang started bargaining habitually.
Nalan Yu said with some embarrassment: "If it is other things, I will definitely give you a satisfactory preferential price, but the price of four thousand yuan Jidan is not high, so I really can't give you a discount. However, I can give you a gift as a gift." With a VIP card, you can enjoy a 20% discount on items purchased at any Baolige branch in Qianzhou in the future."
Lin Yang was silent. He couldn't negotiate the price, and the other party was a beautiful woman. He felt a little frustrated.
"Sir, the 20% off VIP card of Baoli Pavilion can only be obtained by spending 300,000 low-grade Yuanshi in this pavilion. Nalan Yu saw that the master is extraordinary and wanted to make friends with the master, so he made an exception and gave the master a VIP card." Nalan Yu made an exception. Seeing Lin Yang's silence, Yu quickly added.
"Okay, six days later, I'll come and get the elixir!" Lin Yang nodded. He knew that he would have to deal with Baoli Pavilion in the future. He couldn't get a discount for today's transaction, but it was not bad to get a 20% off VIP card. .
"In that case, please pay the 20% deposit first." Nalan Yu smiled like a flower.
Twenty percent is 8,000 low-grade Yuan stones. Eight thousand low-grade Yuan stones are not a small amount even for ordinary Yuan Ji realm Yuan cultivators. But Lin Yang didn't even blink and handed the Yuan Stone directly to Nalan Yu. Lin Yang is often hesitant and sloppy when negotiating prices, but he is neat and tidy when paying bills.
Nalan Yu took the Yuan Stone with a smile, handed the receipt to Lin Yang, and then ordered the clerk to send Lin Yang a small black card made of an unknown material.
Lin Yang put the black card in his hand and played with it. The card was slightly cool to the touch. The material was hard and the surface was smooth, making it difficult to break and wear out.
"Sir, with this card you can enjoy a 20% discount at all Baolige branches in the future." Nalan Yu introduced Lin Yang with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll come back to get the Yuan Ji Dan in six days." Lin Yang cupped his hands towards Nalan Yu, said goodbye to Nalan Yu and left.
When Lin Yang left Baoli Pavilion, an old man with white beard came to Nalan Yu quietly.
"Grandpa Gu, I always feel that this person is a bit strange and familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him." Nalan Yu frowned.
The white-bearded old man touched his beard and said: "Your intuition has always been very accurate. This person must have taken the Yi Rong Dan to change his appearance. Xian'an City is now under attack by Zheng Guo's troops, and people from Jade Bone Mountain are also coming one after another. Xian'an City is no longer peaceful, so we must act with extreme caution. The family leader has sent a message, asking us to leave this place temporarily if necessary, and not to wade into the muddy water."
Nalan Yu nodded and said: "I know that the war between Zheng State and Chang State was very sudden and strange. In yesterday's offensive and defensive battle, the Yuanxiu capitals of the two sects, Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley, There will be an end. It seems that this is no longer a battle over the fate of the country between Chang Guo and Zheng Guo."
The white-bearded old man nodded and said: "Originally, the fight between Jade Bone Mountain and Fire Lotus Valley would definitely boost the sales of our Baoli Pavilion elixirs and Yuan soldiers, but the family owner asked us to evacuate this place. I think the family owner must have received it. What a rumor. In Qianzhou, there are not many people and things that can make the head of the family fearful. Girl, be prepared. If there is danger, we will be ready to evacuate Xian'an City at any time."
Nalan Yu nodded, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
…
During the battle between Zheng and Chang yesterday, Fire Lotus Valley clearly stood on the opposite side of Xian'an City and Chang. The Fang family, one of the three major families in Xian'an City, was very upset because Fang Qi, the son of Fang Kui, the head of the Fang family, entered the Fire Lotus Valley half a year ago.
"Master, please make a decision quickly!"
"Yes, Patriarch, there are only two options before our Fang family, either to recall the young master from the Fire Lotus Valley, or to make a clean break with the young master! Otherwise, our Fang family will suffer disaster. !”
…
In the Fang family's meeting hall, the elders of the Fang family surrounded Fang Kui and urged Fang Kui anxiously.
"That's enough, don't we have a third way?" Fang Kui raised his eyebrows and glanced at the faces of the family elders one by one, and said loudly: "Qi'er is now very respected in the Fire Lotus Valley, and His cultivation is already at the third level of the Yuan Ji Realm. Given time, he may not be able to cultivate to the Yuan Ji Realm. If our Fang family can produce a master of the Yuan Ji Realm, even if we lose the Fang family's foundation in Xian'an City, it won't matter where we go. No matter where the state is, our Fang family can quickly rebuild and will be many times stronger than it is now!"
"What does the head of the family mean, that we move the whole family out of Xian'an City?" A white-haired elder asked.
Fang Kui nodded and said nothing.
The chamber fell silent.
After a while, the white-haired elder spoke again: "Master, do you have a chosen destination?"
Fang Kui looked at the hesitant elders and said in a deep voice: "We are going to Zheng State. When we arrive in Zheng State, Fire Lotus Valley will become the backer of our Fang family! Fire Lotus Valley is the largest Yuanxiu sect in Zheng State. With the support of Fire Lotus Valley, our Fang family will soar into the sky in Zheng State, why bother with the small city of Xian'an anymore!"
After saying that, Fang Kui's face turned red and his tone became even more excited. He was probably already imagining the scene of the Fang family soaring into the sky in the Zheng Kingdom.
A group of elders whispered, some were already moved, others were hesitant, but one Fang family elder suddenly slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Fang Kui and cursed loudly, saying: "Fang Kui, Xian'an City is the ancestral home of our Fang family. It is our root, how can you give it up so easily? Moreover, you want to take the entire Fang family to seek refuge with Zheng Guo. You want our Fang family to be stigmatized as treason, and you want to bring shame to all the ancestors of our Fang family. What?"
At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the meeting hall, in front of the elder of the Fang family who was accusing Fang Kui. He struck like lightning and stabbed the elder in the throat with a knife.
With a plop, the Fang elder fell straight to the ground and died without even having time to hum.
"I'm Cheng Gong from Fire Lotus Valley. You must have met me before. Without further ado, you must obey the instructions of the Fang Family Master, otherwise, he will be your fate!" The person who came here is from Fire Lotus Valley. Cheng Gong, on behalf of Fire Lotus Valley, came to Xian'an City to participate in the pulse measurement ceremony more than half a year ago. He included Fang Qi in Fire Lotus Valley, and attended the Fang family's banquet that night. Under Lin Yang's design, he also met with Ji from Jade Bone Mountain. Cheng Kang had a great fight.
Cheng Gong pointed at the corpse on the ground, his cold eyes scanning the faces of the Fang family elders one by one.
All the elders of the Fang family were silent. When Cheng Gong glanced at them, they all lowered their bodies and trembled.
"Uncles, I just listened to your proposal outside. You asked me to withdraw from Fire Lotus Valley or the Fang family to sever ties with me. But, even if you do this, do you think that the Fang family can still gain a foothold in Xian'an City? Gao Liansheng and Will the royal family of Chang Kingdom not attack us? What's more, the Liu family and the Lin family in Xian'an City are eyeing our Fang family. Taking refuge in Zheng Guo and Fire Lotus Valley is the most correct and only choice for our Fang family. What a departure from our roots. , what is treason? Our ancestors of the Fang family originally moved to Xian'an City from Zheng State!" A young man with dark skin walked into the meeting hall. It was Fang Qi who worshiped Zheng State's Fire Lotus Valley more than half a year ago. .
Fang Qi is slightly taller than half a year ago, his body is getting stronger, and he has bright eyes.
"Young Master, you are back!"
"Young Master is right. When our Fang family moves back to Zheng State, we can truly recognize our ancestors and return to our clan!"
"I have decided to follow the family master and the young master to the Kingdom of Zheng to serve the Fire Lotus Valley!"
…
For a time, under absolute force, all the Fang elders expressed their support for Fang Kui and Fang Qi.
Fang Qi and Fang Kui looked at each other, with smiles on their faces.
"Okay, since all the elders agree, let's take action tonight without further delay. We will first quietly ambush the city gate, and when the fireworks start outside the city, we will use thunder to kill the sergeant guarding the city gate. Open the city gate quickly. As long as the city gate is opened, the army of Fire Lotus Valley and Zheng Guo will ensure our safety!" Fang Qi said lightly.
When all the elders heard this, their expressions changed. Fang Qi said it lightly, but by opening the city gate, he became an internal agent of the Zheng State. The Fang family was completely on the opposite side of the Chang State and became the mortal enemy of the entire Chang State.
However, facing Cheng Gong's sharp eyes, the elders of the Fang family could only nod in agreement.
At this moment, an old but loud voice reached the ears of everyone in the Fang family from outside:
"Fang Kui, how dare you collude with Fire Lotus Valley and Zheng Guo, your Fang family's doom has come!"
