Coming to Zhuming Palace was indeed a wise choice for is good at refining jade pills. But I know very little about other elixirs. In Zhu Ming Palace, they reaped a lot and they themselves were not doing badly either. And Palace Master Yao Wen is also gradually fulfilling his promise. In the small courtyard, a spy bowed slightly in front of Su Chen. "Just sit down and talk. Don't be so reserved." Today, Su Chen is the honorary elder of Zhuming Palace. Elders are elders after all. As a spy, he naturally had to be careful in front of Su Chen. Your words and actions should be in accordance with the rules.
Seeing that he still didn't dare, Su Chen no longer forced him. “As you said before, Elder Su, during this period of time, Wulan Villa still arranged guards to search in Zhou Country. A while ago, they seemed to have encountered trouble in Zhou State and two guards were injured. It is said that his life is in danger and he is just surviving in a miserable state. After learning about these circumstances, Fan Chengyan from Wulan Villa went to Zhou State again. The great elder of Zhou Kingdom’s Tiangang City was injured. The news we received said that Fan Chengyan was planning to support other people in Tiangang City to take power. There have been a lot of troubles in Tiangang City recently." When Su Chen heard this, the coldness on his face became even stronger. This Fan Chengyan is really good at calculating. In the huge Tiangang City, there are many people who have seen me, my mother and my younger sister. Compared to going to Jiang'an City to find some ordinary people, the people in Tiangang City are much more capable and better at dealing with things than those ordinary people. There is no need for Wulan Villa to spend more time and effort to send guards. It was also more covert, not as blatant as before, so Su Chen could easily find it. After taking control of Tiangang City, Wulan Villa only needs to issue tasks. Whoever finds Su Chen or Su Chen’s family will be given contribution points. This method is easy and light, and the consumption is several times smaller. "Is the Great Elder of Tiangang City seriously injured?" “From the news that has been spread, his injuries are quite serious.
When a strong person in the state of transformation is injured, it usually takes months or even years to fully recover. The injury of the Tiangang City's Great Elder this time, even with the help of our Zhuming Palace's elixirs, will take more than a year to recover." After hearing this answer, Su Chen felt even more resentful towards the master and disciple pair of Sang Moyuan and Fan Chengyan. " This Fan Chengyan is really the same as described in the rumors. Fan is domineering, she is really domineering. Elder Shangxuan once told me this when I left Tiangang City. The State of Jin and the State of Zhou were on good terms. Tiangang City is the top sect in the Great Zhou. No matter how powerful Wulan Villa is, it must pay attention to the impact. But now it seems that Fan Chengyan does things without any regard for the consequences. She doesn't care about any rules or influences. He even intervened in Tiangang City and wanted to change the entire situation in Tiangang City. This can be said to be unacceptable in the Zhou Kingdom. But Fan Chengyan did just that, without worrying or being anxious at all. "Please tell me in detail the injury of the Great Elder of Tiangang City. I'll trouble you." Su Chen asked specifically about Master Shangxuan’s injury. Maybe I have to go back. The first is to deliver elixirs to Master Shangxuan, and the second is to curb the influence of Wulan Villa on Tiangang City. Master Shangxuan was facing him. But Wulan Villa has been putting pressure on us, and other people in Tiangang City are likely to turn against us. I have to give support to Master Shangxuan to stabilize Tiangang City. In the courtyard, Su Chen asked a lot of other information. About Wulan Villa, about the entire Jin State and Zhou State. Su Chen did not ask about this information specifically. Just listen to whatever the spy in front of you says. At this moment, all the senior executives of Zhu Ming Palace were still in the pharmacy. Yao Wen and the four elders were looking at the pills in front of them, studying them carefully. Below the pharmacy, a deacon was holding a letter in his hand, reporting on the latest situation. “After the palace announced the news, we received a total of 317 requests for medicine in the past three days.
Among them, there are more than 260 low-grade medicinal pills." After hearing the deacon's report, the great elder of Zhu Ming Palace still looked at the pills, but a smile appeared on his face. “Look, I told you that many people wouldn’t believe it. Those who ask for low-grade elixirs are testing us~" "If you don't believe it, just don't believe it. Just turn down those who ask for low-grade elixirs. Their second request for medication will not be accepted within one year." Palace Master Yao Wen said lightly that for him, there was no need to indulge those people and forces who were unwilling to trust Zhu Ming Palace. In the world of cultivation, elixirs are hard currency. Except for those low-quality elixirs, other elixirs are almost a seller's market. You are unwilling to refine it, but there are many people who are willing to do so. This situation will not work for mid-grade elixirs. The cost of training an alchemist is extremely high, which makes the status of most alchemists very impressive. If it’s even a little bit worse, it basically cannot be cultivated. The technique of making jade elixir is unique. In the State of Jin, there must be many warriors who can only rely on the jade technique to refine elixirs. Their physical injuries made them afraid to take certain medicinal pills. In the past, they could only ask Qilou and Liulige for help. Oftentimes, the skills of the two families were not as good as they could be, and the pills they refined were still not safe to consume. Yao Wen knew that Zhu Minggong's reputation had not yet spread. But he wasn't panicking at all. With this foundation, if you open the door to seek medicine three or four times, your reputation will naturally spread. Moreover, Zhu Minggong was looked down upon because he did not put on airs. By that time, the skills of Qilou and Liulige will be obviously inferior, and they will appear more noble than Zhuming Palace. Those who don’t know might think Zhu Minggong is a liar. "The three sects of Lotus Villa, Golden Hook Society, and Iron General Tower request to visit the palace at the beginning of next month." Below, the steward of Zhu Ming Palace was still reporting on the current situation. These three sects are all forces that are friendly with Zhu Ming Palace. It’s just like the relationship with Taihe Sect, they all belong to the same faction. They would discuss some major decisions for the State of Jin together and support each other.
“Go and reply to the letter, on the first day of next month, and ask the three sects to come together. They are also curious and want to understand, which is normal.” The deacon below reported some basic matters. After listening, Yao Wen simply waved his hand and let him make the decision himself. These senior executives really don't care about some small things now. When a force is growing, many things can be ignored. Even when the sect's strength increases, it is best not to make random changes. Only one force is getting worse and weaker. Only then will you fuss over trivial matters. After sending the deacon away, everyone stopped caring about other things and focused their attention on the pills in front of them. The pill had been cut open, and all the high-ranking officials in Zhu Ming Palace looked at it carefully. The elixir was refined by the Third Elder, and his refining skills were second only to Palace Master Yao Wen. "Hey, it felt fine before I cut it open, the black spots on the cortex were only about 20% of the total. But once I cut it open, I found that the impurities had penetrated deep into it. This quality is far inferior to the elixir refined by Su Xing." The third elder sighed, and the people around him frowned, looking a little disappointed. "Su Xing, that kid, his hands are really too skillful. I feel like he has been trying very hard to guide us old bones, but the gap in technique is a little difficult to bridge." Hearing the third elder's comments, the great elder Zhu Minggong also sighed with a wry smile. “Thinking back to when we were young, we were all known as geniuses in alchemy. Seeing Su Xing now, I feel a little ashamed. " Seeing this, Palace Master Yao Wen became a little more positive. "Don't worry too much, our current skills have far surpassed Qilou and Liuli Pavilion. After all, Su Xing is one of ours now. It doesn't matter if I can't reach his level, I'll just learn as much as I can." The top alchemists of Zhu Ming Palace were truly submissive at this moment. But in front of Su Chen and other juniors, he was still tense and stiff, not daring to show it. "What is Su Xing's current strength?" "I have never seen this kid take action, but from what I heard from Taihe Sect, it seems that he has reached the level of sixth-grade perfection."
When Yao Wen heard this, he seemed to be thinking about something and couldn't help but sigh. "Su Xing seems to be 25 years old this year. At this age, if he can enter the fifth rank, he can be called a genius in martial arts." “We, the Transformation Realm practitioners, are not as fast as a sixth-rank disciple. It would be embarrassing if I told others about it.” The improvement of realm will bring enormous improvement to the physique of practitioners. Vision, hearing, sense of smell, and body agility have all been significantly improved. But the hands of these powerful people in the state of transformation were not as fast or steady as Su Chen's. Yao Wen looked at the elders under his command and didn't know how to start. In the past, as the Palace Master, he always advised them to be calm and not to be too conceited. But now, it seems that we should go back and start trying to encourage them. During the conversation, Yao Wen suddenly thought of something. “When you have time, give Su Xing a copy of the list of people who came to the palace to ask for medicine. See if he has any requests to those people or forces asking for medicine. If necessary, you can pick it up together at that time." Alchemy forces like Zhu Ming Palace often don't need money or resources. Because there is no shortage of medicine, people who come to ask for medicine will often be asked to give other benefits or help. Su Chen was thinking about what his next step should be. From now on, it seems that it would be best for me to go to Tiangang City and see the situation with my own eyes. A steward from Zhu Ming Palace brought over the list of people who needed medicine. He also knew that Su Chen didn't understand most of the people here. Then he introduced and explained it to Su Chen. When someone comes to ask for medicine, the help you want them to provide cannot exceed the value of the medicine. I asked for a simple medicine to heal wounds, but the request I made required others to risk their lives. Others definitely won’t be willing to do that. After hearing the deacon's introduction, Su Chen knew that he could not make any excessive demands. I have only been in Zhu Ming Palace for a short time, so I still need to be humble about many things. It is not a good thing to be proud of one's own achievements. Besides, none of these people who come to ask for medicine have the ability to deal with Wulan Villa.
On the contrary, there was one person among them that Su Chen found somewhat interesting. Mr. Wenhua. The number one fortune teller in Jin State, Old Man Wenhua. When Su Chen heard the introduction of this old man Wenhua, he became interested. When I first met Qiu Ruoshuang, we were chatting in the wilderness. Qiu Ruoshuang told herself this. There was a diviner in the State of Jin who had once divined for her. She said that it would be hard for her to find the right person in this life. Even if you find it, you will encounter all kinds of obstacles and dangers. At that time, Qiu Ruoshuang calculated it for herself using her unfamiliar level. It is said that his own marriage path is somewhat similar to hers. It was just a joke at the time and Su Chen didn't take it seriously. At least until now, Su Chen still feels that these are not true. When it comes to marriage, it’s just one’s own obsession, what else can hinder it? What a myriad of difficulties and dangers, it feels more like whining without any reason. Thinking of this, Su Chen put forward his own request. Please ask this fortune teller, old man Wenhua, to tell your fortune for you. As for the affairs of Tiangang City, this is a complicated and troublesome matter, and I must step in to deal with it. He practiced calmly in Zhuming Palace for two days. Su Chen was still looking for an opportunity to talk to Palace Master Yao about the situation. Near noon today, Palace Master Yao led the two of them to Su Chen's courtyard. One of the two men was an old man with a white beard and a white banner in his hand. There is also a young guy, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the servant boy beside the old man. Su Chen didn't expect that this fortune teller would come so quickly. Standing next to Elder Wenhua, Palace Master Yao was also quite respectful to him. Compared with what he showed to Sect Master Chai of Taihe Sect, he was obviously much more polite. It seems that this fortune teller really has some abilities in Jin State. Su Chen also bowed and saluted the cultural elder. This old man is very polite and knows etiquette.
It’s just that this old man seems to talk less. Unless it is necessary, Mr. Wenhua basically won't speak. Perhaps because he was afraid that Su Chen would misunderstand, Palace Master Yao on the side helped to explain. "Mr. Wenhua's words are profound, so we should not speak carelessly. The gentleman will only speak when it is really necessary. Don’t get me wrong.” After hearing Yao Wen's explanation, Su Chen nodded. In fact, he didn't mind at all. "Tell me, what do you want Mr. Wenhua to predict? If there is nothing specific, Mr. Wenhua can directly tell your fortune. Mr. Wenhua will tell you about the major events that you can see later." Su Chen nodded. "Then please ask Mr. Wenhua to predict my fate and see if I can have a peaceful and tranquil life in the second half of my life." Hearing this, Mr. Wenhua in front of him stretched out his hand to calculate. After a moment, Mr. Wenhua shook his head. Turn around and walk out. Seeing this scene, even Yao Wen felt a little strange. "Mr. Wenhua, what are you doing?" "This child's fate is complicated and hard to predict with one's fingers." In addition to the courtyard, the fortune teller also took out a piece of charcoal from somewhere. He began to scribble on the ground, drawing some strange patterns. Soon, what seemed to be a totem appeared clearly in front of everyone. Old man Wenhua was sitting in the middle and began to tell fortunes. The fortune teller Su Chen imagined seemed to be able to predict the future with just a wave of his hand. Why does this old man Wenhua in front of me look so tired? (End of this chapter)
