Because Zhai Shuo has never been exposed to the gold coins in Dou Qi Continent, he has no idea about the purchasing power of that thing and is confused.
And as a fifth-grade alchemist, why can't he just use elixirs to solve problems that he can solve with gold coins?
Does he still need to exchange the elixir for gold coins?
Some high-level items cannot be measured by gold coins at all, but elixirs can. As long as the elixir level is high enough, there is really nothing that cannot be exchanged for, unless the thing does not exist.
If I had to give an example, it would probably be that illusory love...
Therefore, elixirs are the hard currency in this world, which is why the status of those alchemists is so high.
"If it's not enough..." Zhai Shuo frowned, pretending to hesitate.
"That's not what I meant!" After hearing this, Yun Le immediately looked around and whispered:
"Brother Xiao, please don't expose your possession of fifth-grade elixirs. There is a mixed bag here, but there are some people from all three religions and nine schools who lick blood from their swords. If they know about it, some unpleasant things will inevitably happen..."
Hearing this, Zhai Shuo couldn't help but take a deep look at this young man who was almost the same age as himself.
"I see that Brother Xiao has reached the level of a two-star master at such a young age, and... he is also able to produce fifth-grade elixirs. If the Xiao family behind you finds out what happened to you here, then..." Yunle shook his head and added.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that he felt a familiar feeling of fear in Zhai Shuo, but he couldn't remember where he had encountered it.
After all, as the eldest young master of the Yun family, he comes into contact with too many people every day.
"Thanks for the reminder, Brother Yun, but back to the topic, I don't have gold coins, only pills." Zhai Shuo smiled and nodded. No matter what Yun Le guessed, he now had a good impression of this young man.
In fact, it is not unreasonable to use a fifth-grade elixir to purchase some information.
Intelligence is time-sensitive, and who gets it at what time will have different values and meanings.
In Zhai Shuo's opinion, the value of this external information to him is definitely comparable to that of a fifth-grade elixir.
"This..." Yun Le was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"Then does Brother Xiao have some low-grade elixirs? If a fifth-grade elixir is really used for trade, to be honest, I feel guilty... My Yun family's property is spread all over the oasis, and we are talking about a fair transaction. "
When Zhai Shuo heard this, he spread his hands helplessly:
"I only have pills of level four or above..."
Yun Le was stunned again, and after a while he sighed:
"That's... okay, but even the fourth-grade elixir is worth about half a million gold coins, and the information we sell is far less than this price."
"If Brother Xiao insists on exchanging the fourth-grade elixir...then I can speak freely this time."
Speaking of the latter part, Yun Le stared at Zhai Shuo with a complex expression, feeling extremely depressed.
He even had some doubts as to whether this person came to him to show off his wealth.
That was a fourth-grade elixir. Even with his status as the eldest young master of the Yun family, he couldn't just take it whenever he wanted.
As for the fifth-grade elixir, to be honest, he had only seen it a few times since he was born.
Because that thing is basically used by those who are in the fighting spirit to fighting emperor stage...
As a result, in front of this person, it seems to be just like a stone on the roadside, discarded casually...
"Is it possible that he is an alchemist? And his level is not low?" As Yun Le murmured to himself, Zhai Shuo had already taken out a jade bottle and placed it in front of the two of them, smiling:
"Okay, Brother Yun, since the information is all in your mind, let's stop gossiping now, right?"
After taking the jade bottle, Yun Le did not check it in person, but hugged Zhai Shuo:
"As long as it doesn't involve my Yun family's secrets, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Okay!" Zhai Shuo clapped his thigh, licked his lips, and asked excitedly:
"Then tell me about the Northern Territory of Zhongzhou first?"
After more than ten years apart, Zhai Shuo now really wants to know the news about the northern region of Zhongzhou. Of course, he doesn't want to find out the whereabouts of his parents through Yun Le.
Not to mention whether his parents' level of strength can attract the attention of the Yun family. Even if they can collect information about them, with Zhai Shuo's current level, setting foot in Zhongzhou is no different than seeking death.
His main purpose is to use some major events to determine where he is in the current timeline compared to the original work...
Only in this way can he make good use of the novels in his mind to make some reasonable plans for his future.
"Um…"
Yun Le pursed his lips in thought, then nodded after a moment:
"As for the Northern Region of Zhongzhou, what has been rumored recently is probably the Blood Pool of That Mountain. It is said that every three years, there will be an energy tide on the crater at the top of the mountain range..."
"There is also the Fenglei Pavilion. I don't know if Brother Xiao has heard of it. It is one of the four pavilions in Zhongzhou. However, just a few months ago, someone secretly broke into their library and stole a lot of skills. Skill, the funniest thing is, they haven't caught that person yet, and they don't know where those treasures will eventually go..."
…
"It should flow to the Black Corner Territory..." After hearing this news, Zhai Shuo nodded and smiled. He was not unfamiliar with the Tianshan Blood Pool and Fenglei Pavilion, so he could just look through his memory.
Moreover, what can be analyzed from the theft of Fenglei Pavilion is that Xiao Yan, the Son of Noodles, has probably not left the Gama Empire yet.
"I think so too." Yun Le was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled at Zhai Shuo.
The Black Corner Territory is really a famous black market in the northwest continent. Even many powerful people from Zhongzhou will come here to sell all kinds of treasures that they have obtained through evil ways...
"Brother Yun, can you tell me about the Black Corner Territory by the way?" Zhai Shuo thought for a while and continued.
Anyway, this elixir is given out, so you must enjoy the services you deserve.
"Um."
Yun Le responded lightly and said:
"The Black Corner Territory has been relatively peaceful in recent years. Of course, this calmness is only relative... Mainly because a few years ago, a sixth-grade peak alchemist appeared out of nowhere in that place. , being called the King of Medicine has suppressed the arrogance of many forces."
Yun Le said, a look of excitement could not help but appear on his face. If the Yun family could get a sixth-grade peak alchemist, maybe there would be an emerging family in Huansha City that could compete with the three major families...
"Medicine Emperor... Han Feng?" Zhai Shuo said blankly.
"Oh? Brother Xiao has actually heard of this person's name?" Yun Le said in surprise.
"I just heard it said before." Zhai Shuo waved his hand. He didn't want to mention this kind of conscienceless beast too much.
"Is there any news about Canaan College?" Zhai Shuo changed the subject. After all, he was extremely curious about this top academic institution on the Dou Qi Continent.
It's a pity that he is currently "trapped" in this northern continent. Otherwise, with his invincible strength, he would definitely be able to carve out a world in that academy.
Hearing this, Yun Le did not think about Zhai Shuo's true identity for the time being, and could only continue:
"As for Canaan College, it seems that there has been no news in recent months. With their background, if they use all their methods, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to sweep across the Black Angle Territory. How can anyone dare to take their ideas... So basically It’s peaceful up there.”
Having said this, Yun Le paused, then looked at Zhai Shuo suspiciously, and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiao, don't you want to go to Canaan College to further your studies?"
"Isn't it possible?" Zhai Shuo blinked and asked.
Wouldn't it be just right for a master-level fighter to go in and beat up all those arrogant seniors from the outer colleges?
"It's possible, but they no longer come to us to recruit students. Although Brother Xiao is extremely talented, if he doesn't get a recommendation, he may have some trouble getting admitted to the hospital." Yun Le explained with a serious face.
"Not coming? Why is that?" Zhai Shuo was stunned and spoke in surprise.
This oasis is located in the center of the desert in the western part of the northern continent. After all, it is not very far from the northwest continent. It is normal for Canaan College to come here every few years.
What Zhai Shuo is curious about is that something seems to have happened in the meantime that caused Canaan College to blacklist this oasis?
"That's right."
Yun Le nodded, and when he spoke, his eyes showed some subtle erratic movements:
"Twenty years have passed since this happened, so Brother Xiao may not have heard of it. It was a battle between our Huansha City and the Qishang Palace back then."
"The details of the war are not something that I, a descendant of the Yun family, can know, but since that time, the admissions team of Canaan College has never been to our oasis again. It must be inseparable from this matter. "
…
After hearing these secret things, Zhai Shuo couldn't help but fell silent.
The reason why Canaan College never came to the northern continent again was probably because it was unprovoked and suffered heavy casualties in that war.
Listening to Yun Le's tone, it is estimated that the powerful Dou Huang can only be reduced to a foil in a battle of that level.
"If Brother Xiao really has plans to go to the Black Corner Territory, I can make arrangements now..." Seeing Zhai Shuo's face looking thoughtful, Yun Le clasped his fingers together and said.
"Uh... No, I'm just curious." Zhai Shuo came back to his senses and shook his head. This kid really wants to test himself at every turn.
"Does Brother Yun know the news about the Jia Ma Empire?" Zhai Shuo asked. They all mentioned that they went to Canaan College, so let's ask about the Jia Ma Empire by the way.
"Gama Empire?"
Yunle scratched his head:
"It seems to be a small country in the northwest continent. Its strength is probably on par with my Yun family. Is Brother Xiao curious about that place?"
Seeing that he was trying to trick her again, Zhai Shuo couldn't help but put her head on her forehead and was speechless. It would be a pity for this kid not to be the leader of the clan in the future.
"I heard that there is a Yunlan Sect there, and it has the same surname as your Yun family." Zhai Shuo asked indirectly without answering directly.
"Yunlan Sect... The last time I heard someone mention this force was several years ago. It seems that because their strength is too low, they were ridiculed by other forces at the sect conference held in the northwest continent, but they could only swallow their anger. , Speaking of which, he is quite useless..." Seeing that the test failed, Yun Le took a sip of tea and recalled with some humor.
"Is this so..."
Zhai Shuo stroked his chin, nodded and murmured.
In this case, the Yunlan Sect should not have been destroyed by Xiao Yan, otherwise the Yun family would not have received any news about such a major event.
Based on the above information, Zhai Shuo judged that Xiao Yan's age should be almost the same as his own, and he was probably still struggling at the third level of Dou Qi...
"Now that I'm ahead of you, I can't bear to give up this hard-earned advantage to others..." The sneer on Zhai Shuo's lips when he was imagining made Yun Le next to him feel creepy. I feel like I don’t know who this weird young man is planning?
"Brother Xiao... Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Yunle reminded.
"That's it for today. It seems that asking your Yun family for information is indeed a very right choice." Zhai Shuo shook his head, stood up and clasped his fists.
With this external information, it is enough for him to make choices about his future plans.
"Haha...Thank you for your trust, Brother Xiao, and happy cooperation!" Seeing this, Yun Le also stood up and returned the greeting:
"If Brother Xiao needs to go out in the future, you can show this to the management of my Yun family branch, and they will make it convenient for you..."
After Yun Le said this, a wooden nameplate appeared with a flick of his hand, and he handed it to Zhai Shuo with a smile.
"Thank you, then I'd rather obey your order than be respectful." Zhai Shuo didn't hesitate and took it with a smile. You can see that on the back of the nameplate, there is a word "cloud" engraved on it.
I have to say that Yun Le is really a real talent. It can be seen from his wooing Zhai Shuo that this is a very long-term investment.
It may even determine the life and death of his Yun family in the future.
