After half a month since setting off from Xunyang City, Xie Yuanqian and his party finally arrived at the capital of Yu Kingdom.
The city wall is dozens of feet high and has three gates. There are no ordinary people coming and going. The monks' carriages pass through the culvert gate, their swords fly and land at the middle gate, and the neat queue of cranes passes through the upper gate, maintaining order in the capital of Yu Kingdom.
The royal palace of the Yu family, with its Qionglou and Yuyu, towers into the clouds and is surrounded by a large formation. You cannot look directly at its majesty, it is amazing.
The scene in the city is very lively and busy. From time to time, Master Jindan walks in the air and builds foundations everywhere. This scene of monks is far from comparable to that of the small town at the foot of Luzhang Mountain.
The group got off the flower boat, rented three carriages, and headed to the city gate culvert.
Returning to this prosperous capital city again, Li Shixia had so many emotions that she couldn't express in words. Xie Yuanqian brought Gongsun Hongye to her side and reminded her aloud,
"Mother-in-law, the capital has arrived, let's go into the city!"
Being accompanied by Gongsun Hongye and Xie Yuanqian, the regret she left behind in the capital was washed away a lot, and she still had things to do.
The first is the stable realm that Xie Yuan has been thinking about for a long time. She has lived in the capital for a while before and knows that the environment in Yumo Lane is the best and the prices are affordable.
So she took the typing girls there to buy a house first.
"Is Lou Fang still here?"
"The boss is inside, may I ask who you are?"
"She and I are old acquaintances. Please let me know that my sister Xia is back."
When the boy heard that the lady was an old friend of his boss, he immediately went to report it.
When the owner of Loufang Square heard that Li Shixia was back, he came out to greet her happily.
"Mei Xia! You are finally back! Come on, come on, sit inside!"
"Sister Fang, you have become prosperous in recent years and have become the head of the shop~"
"Oh, everything about getting rich or not is all arranged by me, but it's you. How have you been these past years?"
"Alas, I was unlucky. My Taoist companion left before me. Fortunately, I found a good disciple who was filial. No, he took me back to visit his old friends."
"The path to Taoism is full of misfortunes. It would be a blessing if your disciple could inherit your mantle."
"I'm afraid she doesn't have this intention anymore. If she finds a good husband, her life will be better than mine."
"That's pretty good. It's not like the one in my house. It's wild. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for her to show filial piety."
"Oh? I think Ling Qianjin must have a bright future, so I don't want to be a Taoist couple for the time being."
"She? She's just a maid beside Princess Yutong. How can she have any future?"
Princess Yutong, this is the most popular monastic genius in Yu Kingdom. It is said that she is going to participate in the Danlingzhou Competition. It is a great honor for Lou Fang's daughter to be with her.
"Sister Fang is truly blessed, congratulations!"
"Oh, I said it's nothing. By the way, do you have a place to stay this time? How about I make the arrangements?"
"Sister Fang is still so attentive, but I appreciate the kindness. My son-in-law came to China this time and said he was going to do some company team building. He brought 13 subordinates with him. I'm afraid it won't be troublesome for you, so he entrusted me with the purchase. of a property.”
Bringing 13 people? ! Want to buy real estate in the capital? Is this going to settle down?
"Your son-in-law is coming to the capital to develop?"
"It would be great if he has this intention. He is unmotivated and just wants to buy a property to settle down."
oh? There are actually such people? Being able to bring 13 people to the capital for a trip, I guess they are either overlords or local wealthy businessmen. Such a person is willing to live in a corner, which is really a lot of experience.
"Then Xia Mei has a favorite realm?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I came here with some selfish motives. Is the room in Yumo Lane where we rented together still there?"
"Oh, it has been 30 years. We are all old. I didn't expect you to still remember it."
"Yes, Sister Fang, don't you even remember the year?"
"It's just a thought. I kept that room, but now it has been transformed into a paradise. I kept it because I thought you would come back to see it, but I didn't expect that only you would come back after 30 years. "
"Perhaps everyone has a chance. Just sell that cave to me."
"Since Sister Xia, you want 300,000 spirit stones, sell them!"
Generally speaking, Dongtian Paradise is not for sale to the public.
The cost of building the Cave Heaven Paradise is extremely high. First of all, the stone that can accommodate living beings is a material that is in short supply throughout the cultivation of immortals.
Secondly, Dongtian Paradise has two sets of formations that complement each other. The cost of formation materials and formation masters is also recognized by the world of immortal cultivation.
Finally, in a place like the capital where every inch of land is at a premium, it took 30 years of development to build Dongtian Paradise to Yumo Lane, a place close to the palace. Its value is self-evident.
A cave in the Imperial Capital of Yu Kingdom only costs 300,000 spirit stones! That's really a bargain price. Although Lou Fang is a person who cares about friendship, this price can't be negotiated just because of friendship.
Moreover, she actually has the right to sell this kind of fairyland, and her daughter can still stay with the genius princess. It seems that her Taoist companion is not an ordinary person.
Li Shixia, who knew she had gotten a big deal, also thanked her profusely and made an appointment with Lou Fang to hold a candlelight dinner tonight to talk about the past and present.
"Thank you so much, Sister Fang! We must come to Yumo Lane tonight to have a good reunion with our sisters!"
"Okay! It's just a good time to let my mouth dry, so that he won't always dislike this and that. I'll let him be quiet today!"
The deal was finalized in the midst of chatting and laughing. Xie Yuanqian gave Li Shixia 500,000 spirit stones to fund the purchase of a house. Unexpectedly, she also saved 200,000.
This is also the reason why Li Shixia came to find Lou Fang. She would have other uses for the saved spiritual stones later.
After taking the jade charm from No. 14 Yumo Lane, Li Shixia said goodbye to Lou Fang. After settling the typists, she went to her second old friend.
Danding Pavilion, pharmacist's room.
Li Shixia asked the boy if there was a medicine servant named Yu Ling'er here, but the boy shook his head and said no.
It seemed that the fate of this Yu Ling'er was not good. Li Shixia felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that this person was not found. Another old friend was missing, and she could only sigh secretly that things were unpredictable.
Although the old friend is not here, things still need to be done.
Danding Pavilion, medicinal room.
Li Shixia found their former acquaintance, shopkeeper Fang.
"Senior, do you still recognize me?"
"Who are you?"
"I am Nuxia!"
Hearing this name, Shopkeeper Fang finally remembered that Nvxia was a famous sword dancer in Yumo Lane 30 years ago, and was later elected to the palace, but there was no news after that. .
She and Sister Fang often come to the pharmacist's room to find a medicine servant, and they also often come to the medicine room to buy some medicinal materials for body building, so shopkeeper Fang still has some impression of her, but there is no news about the medicine servant now, and even his name has not been revealed. remember.
"I didn't expect it to be you. How have you been in recent years?"
"Thank you for remembering me. You are becoming more energetic as you get older. Is this the elixir you have already formed? Congratulations!"
"Haha, you girl is still so good at talking, but I don't have the blessing of forming an elixir. I worked hard in the Alchemy Pavilion for 30 years before I got a blood-made elixir, and I formed a fake elixir to extend my life."
"Oh, you must be humble. No matter how many monks outside the Danding Pavilion, they can't even get this Blood Pill, let alone the Blood Pill, even the Foundation Establishment Pill is hard to find outside the Danding Pavilion. . You are a truly blessed person in this imperial capital!"
"Hahahaha! With such a sweet mouth, you must be asking me for something, right? Come on, if it's not difficult, I can help you a little now."
"Actually, it's not a difficult matter. I'll just tell you straight away. I want to buy a spiritual enhancement pill."
"Spirit-boosting pill? Do you have a junior in your family? Then why not buy a prescription that strengthens the foundation and strengthens the spirit? The effect of this pill is not as good as the prescription."
"Senior, I misunderstood. How could I be so lucky to train a junior? My Taoist companion passed away early, and I trained a disciple. However, my disciple's husband actually switched to martial arts. Now his cultivation has stagnated, so I thought I could You cannot use the effect of the Spirit-enhancing Pill to strengthen his spiritual roots and allow him to return to the immortal path."
"I see, but your disciple-in-law is so stupid, are you willing to buy him this elixir?"
"Oh, who made my stupid disciple hang on his own tree? I don't care about my stupid disciple-in-law. I feel sorry for my idiot son."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own troubles. In the end, we old people have to worry about it, and it won't be easy for you either."
"What senior Fang said is absolutely true. Please help me, senior! I'm very grateful, junior!"
"Okay, I've made a note of this. I'll make an advance payment of 100,000 spiritual stones. Do you want me to purchase the spiritual materials on my behalf?"
"Senior spiritual materials are ready. Senior, please make an appointment for me!"
"The Spirit-Enhancing Pill is a high-level pill, and the success rate is not high. You still need to prepare more spiritual materials."
"Then please help me, senior, to pay attention to one or two things. This is a spiritual material fee of 100,000 spiritual stones!"
"That's right. Don't worry. As long as the alchemist in the alchemy room is available, I will make an appointment for you at the first one!"
"Thank you very much, senior!"
This Alchemy Pavilion is really profitable. Before the elixir is practiced, just booking an alchemist requires 100,000 spiritual stones. The medicinal materials for subsequent alchemy must be prepared by oneself, which costs another 100,000 spiritual stones.
This spiritual stone comes faster than a robbery. No wonder everyone wants to be an alchemist, and every alchemist wants to enter the Alchemy Pavilion.
And this shopkeeper also used the name of Danding Pavilion to pretend to be powerful. He said it was nice, but in fact he was a greedy old fox. He wanted Li Shixia's 100,000 spiritual stones as soon as he opened his mouth.
With the skills of the alchemist of Danding Pavilion, it is not difficult to refine a batch of spiritual enhancement pills. Why do you need to prepare more medicinal materials? Isn't this a slap in the Danding Pavilion's face?
But can I not give the spirit stone? Of course you have to give it. Not all the alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion have the spare time to make elixirs for you. The alchemists are also monks, and they also have to practice.
If you don't give me this spiritual stone, will Shopkeeper Fang speak for you?
I originally planned to inquire about a foundation-building pill, but the old fox Fang wanted to buy 100,000 spirit stones all of a sudden. Li Shixia was also strapped for money. It seemed that she could only count on Xie Yuan's potential to give him some help and tell him to pass it. Xian Ya's connections brought a Foundation Building Pill.
At this point, all the things Li Shixia had to do were done. She was here to engage in intrigues, but Xie Yuanqian and his party on the other side were having a good time.
After Shen Xianya came to the capital, she had been keeping in touch with Xie Yuanqian through flying swords, and the two were already close friends.
Shen Xianya and Xie Yuanqian can also be regarded as complementing each other. Xie Yuanqian's continuous famous songs helped Shen Xianya become famous. Shen Xianya repaid her kindness and gave half of the income from each song to Xie Yuanqian. This is why Xie Yuanqian spent all his money on Qiao Zhu Guan. The reason why I have spiritual stones and extra spiritual stones is to buy ship tickets and buy real estate.
The spiritual stones on Shen Xianya's side are truly heavyweight!
Xie Yuanqian had already been in contact with Shen Xianya, so they could use Shen Xianya's identity card to enter Yuyin Hall unimpeded and have a long talk with Shen Xianya.
"Xian Ya! I miss you so much!"
"Hongye! I miss you so much too!"
"What about me? Xian Ya, won't you forget about your best friend after meeting your best friend?"
"Xie Yuanqian, haven't we been communicating all the time?"
"So you two didn't tell me about their secret communication! Humph!"
Xie Yuanqian did hide the correspondence between Gongsun Hongye and Shen Xianya. To be precise, he hid it from everyone.
Why? Because he didn't expect Shen Xianya's earning power in the capital to be so strong, and he would send 100,000 to 200,000 spiritual stones at every turn.
Wealth should not be exposed. It's not that Xie Yuanqian doesn't trust Hongye and the others. It's just that the fewer people who know this kind of income, the safer it will be.
"Hongye, the two of us are only talking about music, nothing else."
"Oh, I won't mind even if you are there! Right? Husband?"
"Ah? This? My correspondence with Xian Ya is absolutely clear!"
Xie Yuanqian's words were quite true. Shen Xianya was clearly a tool in his plan to get laid, but this tool's ability to attract money was far beyond Xie Yuanqian's imagination.
In fact, is it possible that Xie Yuanqian's imagination is not rich enough?
Both Shen Xianya's earning power and her feelings for him exceeded Xie Yuanqian's imagination.
She also exchanged letters with Gongsun Hongye, but she never mentioned Xie Yuanqian's transaction with her. This is why Shen Xianya just answered the question incorrectly and directly pointed out the secret communication between her and Xie Yuanqian.
She wanted to test Gongsun Hongye's attitude.
Shen Xianya, your rank is not low!
Unexpectedly, Xie Yuanqian's attitude was tested, and she secretly cried:
What a clear conscience! Xie Yuanqian, are you really a piece of wood? For your sake, I, the dignified music master, have traveled here and there, in and out of the stage, and even came to this imperial capital alone. Don't you have any expression? Or is it all because I have a guilty conscience?
"Oh, why are you so awkward talking? Are you here to play with me or to interrogate me?"
"Of course I came here to play with you. It's all Xie Yuanqian's fault! Let me tell you..."
Seeing the two of them becoming intimate again, Xie Yuanqian said helplessly:
Is this my fault too?
It's too unfair for me to take the blame.
The two of them chatted, and Xie Yuanqian could only look around.
This Yuyin Hall is really full of artistic atmosphere, with decorations related to music and musical instruments everywhere. In the main hall hangs Shen Xianya’s achievements in the capital over the years:
Best pieces from Yuyin Festival
First place in lyrics and music in Yuyin Palace Examination
Best lyrics and music for Flower Festival
…
There are so many things to see.
It seems that Blue Star's culture has blossomed in this other world, showing its vigorous vitality and gaining unanimous recognition from the vast number of people in this other world.
Let Shen Xianya and Xie Yuanqian each have what they need and love.
