Several figures glanced at the disappearing figures, "Yes!" A strong man followed the order and disappeared.
"Come with me to meet the teacher!" the fourth prince said to the remaining strong men.
In a villa, an old man was lying on a rocking chair, playing with two walnuts in his hands, leisurely and contentedly.
"Teacher!" The fourth prince appeared at the entrance of the garden and bowed respectfully.
"Okay, come in, don't do all the false courtesy. Have you brought the wine?" The old man on the recliner didn't even open his eyes. It seemed that the person who came was not the prince at all.
Hearing this, the fourth prince quickly took the wine gourd from the old man's hand, took a few steps to the old man's side, uncorked the wine gourd, and gently fanned the fragrance of the wine into the old man's nose.
"You kid..." The old man smiled, grabbed the wine gourd and took a swig.
"Hey, after drinking it for so many years, I still miss this taste. Although your royal wine is good, it still lacks the flavor of the one brewed by Old Man Liu!"
The fourth prince nodded. Although he was dethroned as prince and spent all his time eating, drinking and having fun, looking like he was giving up on himself, he was still a prince after all. The emperor found another teacher for him, the old man in front of him.
He didn't understand what the old man said, and he had asked about it before, and even tasted a lot of spirits brewed by the small winery in an inconspicuous corner of Tanhuang City.
Except for the fact that it was too strong for him to bear, there was nothing unusual about this wine. Compared with the wine in the royal family, it was like the difference between nectar and ordinary white water. The old man in front of him just liked this sip. No matter how good the wine from other places was, he Don't take it seriously either.
"What problem did you encounter again?" The old man took a sip of strong wine, still closing his eyes tightly and playing with the walnuts in his hand.
"Teacher, have you ever heard of a name?" The fourth prince whispered into the old man's ear.
"The old man is not deaf yet!" the old man muttered, "Lu Chen? Never heard of it, is it very powerful?" the old man asked.
"It's not bad!" The fourth prince didn't know how to answer. The old man's origin was mysterious. He asked the emperor, but he didn't know his background.
This is in the imperial capital, the territory of the Daluo royal family, and it is a bit scary that there are still people whose details the royal family does not know.
"It's okay, but it's not that great? Okay, don't block the old man from basking in the sun. Go visit your old man when you have time. Time is running out!" After saying that, the old man on the recliner started to snore.
"This..." The old man who followed wanted to wake the old man up, but was stopped by the fourth prince. He shook his head and the two of them quietly exited the villa.
"It's a good thing to make friends with some people, but don't touch their bottom line and follow the old path of the Sword Sect!" The fourth prince, who had just walked out of the villa, with his eyes a little red, heard the old man's voice in his ears, and looked back at the strong man next to him. , it seemed that only I heard it.
"It seems that time is running out, and I don't know how long my father can live!" The fourth prince's voice was choked with sobs.
The old man behind him also sighed, "Your Majesty returns to the west, and the entire Daluo Dynasty will change. At that time, who else in the entire dynasty can resist Jian Zong!"
"When eldest brother succeeds to the throne, the entire empire has fallen into the hands of the Sword Sect, except for the Lu family..." The fourth prince finally shook his head as he thought of that mysterious power.
"The Lu clan has been quiet for many years, except for clan competitions, and it's almost closed!" the old man said.
"With Lu Chen in this generation of the Lu family in Gucheng, I think I should be able to return to the clan, but it will be difficult to take power!" Thinking of the power of the Lu family, the fourth prince was also amazed. The Lu family is not as popular as the outside rumors. Generally speaking, the more people are exposed to it, the more unfathomable this vein becomes.
"You go back first. I'm going to check on Brother Lu. I wonder if he's used to it!" The fourth prince waved to the old man and said.
Outside a courtyard, seven or eight figures were pacing back and forth, looking at a loss.
"See you, Your Highness!" Seeing the approaching fourth prince, several servants quickly saluted.
"What's going on?" The fourth prince looked surprised and looked at the closed door.
"Your Highness, when the young master walked to the gate of the villa, he closed the gate tightly. The slaves didn't know what was going on inside!" A girl said with an anxious look.
Looking a little panicked, the young fourth prince in the courtyard
They had specifically warned that in this mansion, they would enjoy the same treatment as a prince. At the moment, they could not even see each other.
The fourth prince frowned slightly and stared at the closed door, "You guys go down first!"
Squeak!
Not long after the servant girl left, the courtyard door opened, and a figure sat cross-legged in the courtyard, with spiritual energy lingering around her.
"Spirit King Realm?" The fourth prince's face changed slightly.
"Am I just going to stay in the mansion like this?" The young man in the courtyard suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
At present, he was caught in a prison car. According to outsiders' speculation, there is only one way to offend the fourth prince and fall into his hands. If he goes out again, all the efforts of the fourth prince will be in vain.
"Just change your face!" the fourth prince said nonchalantly.
"Smart!" Lu Chen patted the fourth prince on the shoulder, and disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.
"I..." The fourth prince glanced around the courtyard, "Am I here to see someone lonely?" With a wry smile, the fourth prince also left the courtyard.
On the outer wall of a splendid mansion, a black figure glanced down. When he saw no one, he jumped down and patted his cheek slightly.
"I don't know if this face can pass the test!" The black shadow muttered and disappeared on the street outside the high wall.
Outside a majestic and tall building, a young man raised his head and looked at several large characters inlaid with gold above. Dragons and phoenixes were dancing, majestic.
Alchemist Guild!
There is no one of the most respected professions on the mainland.
On the mainland, whether you are a person with incredible strength or a weak commoner, as long as you are alive, you can use the things of the Alchemist Guild. Even many dead people are like this. They need various materials or elixirs provided by the Alchemist. Keep the body incorruptible.
For such a respected profession, it is natural that there are many branches.
In Lingtian Continent, any city of some size will have an Alchemist Guild, which can be found in almost every city on the entire continent. With such a scale, apart from the Mercenary Guild, this is probably the only one on the entire continent!
"Boy, are you going in or not? Don't stand in the middle of the door!" The guards on both sides saw the young man standing in the middle of the door in a daze, and couldn't help but shouted angrily.
"Sorry!" Lu Chen said, handing over a gold coin before being put in.
Looking at the endless flow of people in the lobby, Lu Chen hissed, "It's just one gold coin once you come in. The flow of people in this day..."
Such terrifying profits made Lu Chen jealous.
"Little brother, is this your first time coming to the Da Luo Dynasty Alchemist General Guild?" An uncle passing by heard Lu Chen sighing and couldn't help but stop and asked.
"Eh? Uncle, how did you know?" Lu Chen asked.
"Haha, just call me uncle, and I will analyze it for you. Look, who are the people who can join the Alchemist General Guild?" the uncle asked again.
"Who?" Lu Chen was puzzled, "A rich and powerful person?"
The man shook his head, "That's right, that's wrong. Look, those people over there, can you say they are rich and powerful?" The man pointed at a few people not far away wearing rags and said.
Lu Chen shook his head. Just looking at their clothes, these people could only be considered the lowest level of society.
"But they are willing to spend one gold coin each to come to the main guild. There is only one situation. They have something extraordinary in their hands, or they have problems that other branches cannot solve!" the uncle said confidently.
Lu Chen nodded, "I've learned a lesson!" He cupped his fists and saluted the man, and the two briefly chatted for a few words before leaving.
He finally understood that no matter how high the fees charged by the Alchemist Guild in the Great Luo Empire were, there would still be many people coming in.
In the Daluo Dynasty, only this Alchemist Guild has the authority to do many things. Likewise, the only sixth-grade alchemist in the entire Daluo Dynasty is also the president of this guild.
A sixth-grade alchemist, with such a status, even the master of the Sword Sect and the master of Da Luo must be polite.
The Great Luo Dynasty covers a vast territory, and the only known sixth-grade alchemist is the General Guild of Alchemists.
There is no other alchemist except the one who worships Jian Zong.
This is enough to show how rare the higher-level alchemist is, and his status becomes more and more noble, no less than the master of a sect.
"I never expected that a country as small as the Daluo Dynasty would have a sixth-grade alchemist!" Mr. Ge, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Old man, if you don't say anything, why don't you feel sour when you speak?" Lu Chen said.
"You boy, I need acid? I remember when I was refining medicine in the Central Territory, I said second place, but no one dared to say first place, even this Alchemist Guild..." Mr. Ge hesitated and did not continue. .
"Old man, bragging is enough. Don't tell me that you founded this Alchemist Guild!" Lu Chen didn't believe it.
"That's not true. The Alchemist Guild has been passed down for a long time. I'm afraid even the Alchemist Guild itself doesn't know how many years it has existed. It has experienced the baptism of blood again and again. Fortunately, it has been passed down!"
Mr. Ge sighed, "Even those dynasties and empires that claim to never fall may not always have a pharmacist guild leader!"
"So powerful?" Lu Chen was shocked. In his opinion, the Alchemist Guild was just a force formed by the alchemists themselves. This kind of force had no discipline or rules, and it was extremely difficult to pass it on.
"Hmph, little guy, don't underestimate any force, especially forces like the Alchemist Guild and the Mercenary Guild. As long as all races exist, this kind of force cannot disappear!"
Hearing what Mr. Ge said, Lu Chen also nodded. He fully understood that pills were needed by everyone and every force.
Where there is demand, there will be transactions, just like the business war that took place in Gucheng. The price of elixirs has doubled, and everyone still has to pay for them. If the money is gone, you can make more, but if your life is gone, you have nothing.
"What should we do next?" After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen suddenly asked Mr. Ge.
