"Please don't misunderstand, just tell the truth. No matter who refines it, I will ask you to refine an eighth-grade elixir. We have prepared the prescription and medicinal materials. You can make any conditions."
Zhao Chuan said: "Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, we have never practiced the eighth-grade elixir. Today we just bought the materials for the seventh-grade elixir and plan to try it. I don't know whether it will be successful. It is the sixth-grade elixir." Our success rate is not very high either, I hope Brother Chen understands."
Chen Xiang smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, you have also seen that our Jubao Pavilion is the best elixir shop here. Your sixth-grade elixir today is already the best elixir. The current situation is: there is no good elixir." The alchemist also doesn’t have a good alchemy furnace, so he can’t refine an eighth-grade elixir at all. Seventh-grade is the limit, and it’s basically a middle-low grade. We urgently need an eighth-grade elixir!”
Zhao Chuan knew that the profit from a seventh-grade elixir or above was astronomical, and it would be no problem to make a single order for several years.
But Zhao Chuan didn't understand the situation here at all, and he didn't know who Chen Xiang was. As the saying goes, "You should only speak a few words to people when you meet them, but don't give them all your heart."
"Brother Chen, the success rate of these sixth-grade and above elixirs is extremely low. Even though the price is high, they are not profitable. My master has been exploring for many years and he does not dare to start rashly. Besides, we do not have a deposit for medicinal materials." (Zhao Chuan told a lie and felt that he If you are too young and can refine high-quality elixirs, you may get into trouble.)
Chen Xiang smiled again and said: "Don't worry, brother, I don't need your deposit. I will give you five copies of the medicinal materials this time. If you succeed, you will be rewarded. We will recycle the excess elixirs. If you fail, you still want to try to use the medicinal materials again. In the future, your We will recycle the elixir at a 15% discount."
Zhao Chuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Brother Chen, do you believe me so much? Are you afraid that I will run away with your medicinal materials?"
"Brother, you are joking. There are not many alchemists like this nowadays. How could you break your promise for just a few medicinal materials?"
Zhao Chuan said movedly: "Since Brother Chen trusts me so much, Zhao will definitely do his best!"
Zhao Chuan took the medicine and said, "I'll answer you within two months." He left Xianlin Town and returned to Taiyue City. He exchanged 100 medium-grade spiritual stones for 900,000 silver notes and returned to the inn.
Zhao Chuan and Han Bing were both very happy.
Zhao Chuan gave Han Bing a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, so that he could go to Xianlin Town for a stroll in the future.
The next day, the two returned to Qincheng as early as possible.
When we arrived at Qincheng, it was already dark.
When Zhao Chuan met Cheng Shulan, Shulan naturally asked about his welfare.
Zhao Chuan took out the banknote and said, "Sister Shu Lan, please keep the 300,000 banknote. Don't worry about money in the future. Let's see if there is a suitable house and exchange it for a larger mansion."
Zhao Chuan took out the message slip again and injected his spiritual consciousness into it.
When he returned to the city, he located the jade slip in the Cheng Mansion in Qincheng. After collecting his things, he said, "This is the jade slip for communication. If I am not in Qincheng from now on, if something big happens at home and you come to me, you can break this jade slip and I will know that you are looking for me." I."
Cheng Shulan was surprised: "Where do you get so much money?"
"This is the income from elixir refining. The price of elixirs in the cultivation market is very ridiculous. A high-grade elixir is worth ten thousand taels of gold. I will need to refine a batch of elixirs recently, which will take more than a month."
Under the huge pressure from the killer, the relationship between Zhao Chuan and Shu Lan became much normal.
Zhao Chuan saw his son and stayed at Cheng's house for the night. Naturally, the two of them were not polite and loved each other for a long time.
At dawn, Zhao Chuan came to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng and Han Xue greeted each other warmly, and it seemed that Han Xue was quite grateful to Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Han Xue said politely: "You are a rare person, and I can't even invite you if I want to!"
Jiang Feng was even more happy: "Sit down, is your trip to Taiyue City going well this time?"
"It went well, better than expected. This elixir is very popular in Xianlin Town. Refining one elixir is enough to last for several years!"
Zhao Chuan took out a 300,000 silver note and handed it to Jiang Feng: "You keep this money."
Jiang Feng was surprised and said, "What are you doing?"
"I don't have much money to use. It might be useful if you take it and see if you can set up a martial arts school or something like a caretaker. If something happens, I'll have a helper!"
Jiang Feng was stunned, wondering if Zhao Chuan felt there was any danger and was making arrangements for his funeral?
Jiang Feng looked solemn and asked, "Is the situation dangerous?"
"You can't say it's dangerous, right? But I can't be at home every day. It's good to have my own power."
The two were talking, Tian Xiancheng, Ren Mao and You Fang, Zhimeng came to visit. Several people said hello and sat down to talk.
Zhao Chuan said: "Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for many days. You didn't go to Brother Tian's treat last time. What are you busy with?"
Fang Zhimeng sighed: "I got angry with my neighbor and got into a fight. The other party hired a martial artist and almost caused a commotion. I didn't ask the steward to make peace, so I lost money and avoided disaster!"
Zhao Chuan smiled: "Uncle Chu, is he capable of growing up?"
Fang Zhimeng said, "Last time there was trouble in Qiwumen, Butler Chu suppressed it. Of course, this matter is a trivial matter."
Zhao Chuan said in surprise: "So, you are all rich people, why don't you cultivate your own power to look after homes and homes?"
Tian Xiancheng sighed and said, "Of course I do. I spend tens of thousands of taels of silver on this a year. I want to start a martial arts sect. Is it easy?"
Zhao Chuan smiled and said, "Let's see if it works like this: set up a martial arts hall or something, find a few masters to sit in charge, recruit some young and middle-aged martial arts practitioners, practice martial arts on a daily basis, and have people from the martial arts gym send security guards to your residences and shops. Take responsibility, I will pay for it, and you are responsible for finding a place, see if that’s okay?”
When Tian Xiancheng heard this, he patted his thigh: "Everyone pays for it! It's easy to find a place. Our group has a lot of unused courtyards. Which one is suitable?"
Zhao Chuan said happily: "Since there is a place, let's recruit martial artists first. Each of your families can send one person to participate in the management. You don't have to worry about money. As for the final address of the martial arts gym, Brother Jiang will choose it slowly. Brother Tian We need to arrange for one person to be the curator, and Brother Jiang and Brother Tian will be the bosses."
After hearing this, several people looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Chuan asked: "Brother Tian, is there anything else?"
Tian Xiancheng smiled again and said, "I want to go see someone with you. When will I be free?"
Zhao Chuan said: "Brother Ren, is there something wrong with Brother Fang?"
"We're fine, it's just..."
"Brother Tian, let's go now. As for the martial arts school, Brother Jiang, Brother Ren, Brother Fang, you go find Mao Qiwei and the others to take care of it!"
After Zhao Chuan and Tian Xiancheng got in the car, Zhao Chuan asked: "Brother Tian, who are you going to meet this time? Isn't one of your friends sick?"
Tian Xiancheng said: "I have so many sick friends who look after Jingwen!"
"Jingwen? Isn't she going back to Beijing?" Zhao Chuan asked hurriedly.
"She didn't leave. I thought she must leave, but she has no intention of leaving. I invited her from Beijing. I used to arrange for people to guard here. After the contract was terminated, she didn't let my people here. You know , Jingwen is so beautiful, rich, and famous, if something happens, how can I, Tian Xiancheng, hang out in Qin City in the future?"
After hearing this, Zhao Chuan thought for a while and said, "You let me take over, and if anything happens in the future, it has nothing to do with you?"
"Brother, why do you say this? You and I are brothers, am I that kind of person?"
"Then you want me to come forward and drive her away?" Zhao Chuan was confused.
"Why are you driving people away? Qincheng is not yours. Besides, if you drive people away, they will listen to you?" Tian Xiancheng said.
Zhao Chuan didn't understand: "Brother Tian, why did you ask me to come? I really have something to do, and my time is very tight."
Tian Xiancheng waved his hand and said there was no rush, "I always feel that she has something to do with you. It's okay if you don't say anything when you get there. Just sit there for a while. There may be consequences if she leaves or not."
"Okay, I'll just sit down for a while." Zhao Chuan had no choice but to agree.
Zhao Chuan followed Tian Xiancheng to a mansion.
Zhao Chuan took a look and saw the word "Qin Zhai" written on the door.
Zhao Chuan asked: "Brother Tian, does this house belong to you?"
"No, I rented it for Miss Jingwen when she came to Qincheng."
Before the two of them entered the courtyard, they heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the mansion.
Tian Xiancheng said: "This is the guqin music "Flowing Water" created by Yu Boya."
Zhao Chuan was stunned: "Yu Boya? I don't know him."
"He has been dead for hundreds of years, of course you don't recognize him." Tian Xiancheng smiled.
"It's about the Spring and Autumn Period. There was a man named Yu Boya who was proficient in music and had superb piano skills. He was a famous violinist at that time. When Yu Boya was young, he was smart and studious. He once studied under an expert and his piano skills reached a high level, but he always felt that he He was still unable to express his feelings about various things superbly. After Boya's teacher knew his thoughts, he took him on a boat to Penglai Island in the East China Sea and let him appreciate the scenery of nature and listen to the sound of the waves of the sea."
"Bo Ya looked up and saw turbulent waves and splashing waves; seabirds flying and chirping in his ears; mountains and trees, lush and lush, as if he were in a fairyland. A wonderful feeling came over him, and there seemed to be a loud bang in his ears. The harmonious and beautiful music of nature. He couldn't help but pick up the piano and play it, turning the notes at will, integrating the beauty of nature into the sound of the piano. Boya experienced an unprecedented realm."
"Bo Ya took a boat trip one night. Facing the breeze and the bright moon, he had a lot of thoughts, so he played the piano again. The sound of the piano was melodious and gradually got better. Suddenly he heard someone on the shore exclaiming. Boya heard the sound and walked out of the boat. He saw only one person The woodcutter stood on the shore. Knowing that this person was a close friend, he immediately asked the woodcutter to come on board and play for him with great interest.
Boya played a melody praising the mountains, and the woodcutter said: "It's so good! It's majestic and solemn, like Mount Tai soaring into the clouds!" When he played to express the surging waves, the woodcutter said again: "It's so good! It's so vast and vast, it's like seeing rolling water or the boundless sea!" Boya became excited and said excitedly: "Bosom friend! You are really my soulmate." This woodcutter was Zhong Ziqi. From then on, the two became very good friends. "
"It is a metaphor for a close friend or a close friend. It is also a metaphor for the sublime music. This piece of music is soft but strong, quiet and urgent. It gives people a feeling of calmness and calmness. It clearly embodies the tranquility of natural creatures, the isolation of the fairyland, without adulteration. Mixed with any worries and sorrows.”
Tian Xiancheng talked for a long time, but Zhao Chuan didn't understand what he said at all, so he couldn't help but enter Qin Mansion.
In the middle courtyard, an old man was cleaning the yard.
Zhao Chuan was startled, and the music in the room suddenly stopped. Tian Xiancheng greeted the old man, and the old man nodded towards Zhao Chuan as a greeting.
Zhao Chuan asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
