The layout of the Sword City is not similar to that of other cities. Instead, it is centered on the Sword Palace directly below the Xuantian Pavilion, and forms a majestic city layer by layer outward.
The long streets in the old city are not connected vertically and horizontally, but interlocking and distinct. Among them, most of the sword cultivators were walking around the area closest to the Palace of Swordsman. Last year, after the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance disclosed the general situation of the demon species, the number of monks walking around increased significantly, and it was not just those in the swordsmanship.
The Wu family's Shanxing Hall is located in Liuzhoufang. Because it has been rooted here for many years, it also occupies a good location where people come and go and it is bustling. Wu Yujin told the others to go down to rest first, and then took Zhao Shun from Beppu to the hall. Since the latter was a foreigner, he could only sit in the main hall, so Wu Yujin confessed to her in a low voice. Zhao Shun was asked to sit and wait in the hall, but he found a pretty girl and went all the way to the inner room.
According to Wu Yujin, the Wu family's business was robbed of most of the business by a force decades ago, so the scale of Shanxing Hall is now far less than it used to be. But in Zhao Shun's view, the hall was still in order amidst the bustle of people. From time to time, someone would take a flying book from outside the hall. After opening it, he would take a look at it and then he would know what he was doing. Then he would write a piece of paper frantically. , and passed it to others.
If a guest enters the hall in person, someone will immediately come forward to greet him, lead him to sit down, and then serve him tea and snacks.
Zhao Shun noticed that most of the monks who were responsible for welcoming guests were not very high, and their realm was only around the foundation-building stage. However, looking at their actual age, they were much older than their appearance. Most of the monks who were not ugly had ugly appearance. Delicate, with a pleasant voice.
As she looked around the hall, the people in the hall were also looking at her carefully.
In Zhao Chun's eyes, no matter how powerful the True Infant cultivator is, he is just a True Infant. Within the ten sects of the righteous path, disciples of this level can be found everywhere, so they are nothing special. However, outside, especially in the southern region where the strength of the monks was far inferior to that of the northern region, a more powerful true infant was able to sit in a small sect and be supported by the disciples of the sect.
Wu Ying, the elder who was in charge of all the affairs of the Wu family in Zhongjian City, was actually only in the external realm. And Wu Yujin, a monk who had returned to Wu Yuanping, could not raise his head in front of Wu Yuanping, but as soon as he entered the Shanxing Hall , but the people below still have to call them "Senior" honestly.
Therefore, when Zhao Shun was sitting in the hall today, he seemed to stand out from the crowd, attracting the attention of many people. However, he did not dare to be too showy, for fear of causing displeasure and causing trouble for his family. In fact, monks at her level would not come over in person on weekdays. Instead, they would ask people below to convey the message, or they would send a flying letter directly and ask people from Shanxing Hall to deliver something to their door.
Seeing that she was silent and just sitting in a corner of the hall, a brave woman stepped forward to pour tea and water. When Zhao Chun nodded, she brought cakes, bait, melons and fruits. Come up. Zhao Chun glanced at it lightly and saw that everyone else on the table would reward the person who poured the tea with a tip bag. She raised her eyes and, sure enough, the eyes of the woman in front of her were flashing with anticipation.
She shook her head and chuckled, then took out another brocade bag from her sleeve and handed it to the slightly reserved woman in front of her.
The other party was also quite straightforward. After taking the kit, he opened it to a small opening. After seeing what was inside clearly, his lips slightly opened and his breathing became much faster. He said repeatedly: "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior." .”
The bag Zhao Xuan gave her was not a spiritual jade, but four or five pills for improving her cultivation. These were the ones Liu Xuan had given her in the past when she was still alive. Even though they were ordinary pills, their quality was far superior to that of other alchemists. Refined. The woman in front of her was only in the foundation-building realm, and these four or five pills were probably able to support her cultivation to the perfection of this realm. No wonder she was so excited.
"No need to thank you. I have a few questions to ask you. Please tell them truthfully."
The woman carefully placed the kit close to her body, and said to Zhao Chun as if she knew everything, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely tell you the truth."
Zhao Chun then expressed the doubts in his heart and learned that although the Wu family had a lot of business, the medicinal materials operated by Shanxingtang were the top priority, and there was a close relationship between elixirs and medicines, so in the inner room of Shanxingtang, there was actually There are also several alchemists sitting in charge, some of whom are members of the Wu family, and they also support several outside alchemists who have no family or sect. If guests come to ask for medicine, Shanxing Hall can also be responsible for refining finished elixirs.
However, the scale and quality of this aspect are still inferior to those of shops that have been doing business in finished elixirs for many years.
The woman glanced at the people in the hall, and then said to Zhao Chun: "Master, please see, most of these guests waiting here are medicine boys working under various alchemists. In the past few years, there have been many people in the city. Many alchemists came from all over the place, so that medicinal materials were in short supply and prices soared. These customers were ordered by their superiors to come here to get valuable and good medicines, so they did not dare to give it to others easily. "
Zhao Chun smiled slightly and nodded, and then realized that there was actually an undercurrent among these medicine boys. They each had their own plans and disliked each other very much, but they secretly looked at each other with a sense of prying eyes.
"I think these medicine boys have their own thoughts."
These words made the woman burst into laughter. She rolled her eyes and then lowered her voice and said, "Master, I don't know something. The spirit of these alchemists is not lower than that of the swordsman monks. Now there are so many alchemists gathered in the Sword City." , they naturally refuse to obey anyone. Even if you are a junior like this, you can often hear that these alchemists like to invite their fellow practitioners to compete for elixirs. Whenever the furnace is turned on, you can smell the fragrance of elixirs overflowing. I Those with low cultivation levels will feel comfortable even if they take a sip."
Zhao Chun said, "I see, that's the case, but he felt pity for Liu Xuan in his heart. With the senior sister's attainments in alchemy, it coincided with the gathering of alchemy masters in the city of swords, so she must be able to show off her skills."
"That's all, I'll go out and take a look." After sitting in Shanxing Hall for a long time and knowing very little, Zhao Chun simply stood up and told the woman, "If anyone comes looking for you in the future, just tell me that I'll leave first. Now, when she has some free time, I will go and visit her!"
The woman responded respectfully in front of Zhao Shun. After sending Zhao Shun out of the main hall, she lightly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She thought that this man was very powerful, but he was the worst he had ever seen in these years. Provoke people.
Zhao Shun came out of Shanxing Hall, looked for directions and walked towards the center of the city. The Palace of Swordsman was somewhat related to the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance. With the sword order in hand, she would never go wrong when she went there.
After walking only a few steps, I saw a commotion in front of me, as if two monks were confronting each other, shouting harsh words.
