Chapter 141: An Extravagant Breakthrough Method
Translator: 549690339
Yang Chen didn’t know what other benefits there would be after advancing to Level Eight, but since Deshun Prince had said so, the Chen family should advance to Level Eight as soon as possible.
There were two steps for an aristocratic family to advance to Rank-8. The first step was to announce it to the world. Only after obtaining the approval of the heavens could the second step be carried out.
Generally speaking, as long as there were two Core Formation experts in the clan, the first step would not be a problem.
The second step was to invite some aristocratic families to a banquet to show off their status as an Eighth-rank aristocratic family.
In Da Qian, the second step was called the Promotion Banquet. If a family advanced to Rank Eight, all the Prefecture Overseers of the prefecture would go back to participate.
The Prefecture Overseer attending was to represent the royal family in recognizing his Rank-8 status, and also to rope him in.
After all, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was short of resources. A county could only support one eighth-rank aristocratic family.
There were less than 100 Rank-8 aristocratic families in the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty, so it was impossible for the royal family to not value them.
As for the seventh-rank aristocratic families and sects, although they were nominally affiliated with the royal family of Da Qian, they were secretly trying to surpass the royal family of Da Qian.
There was always some unhappiness between them.
Back to the main topic.
After agreeing that the Chen family had advanced to Rank Eight, the Deshun Commandery Prince asked,””Disciple, why are you looking for me?”
When Chen Yang heard this, he said,” I’m here to ask Master to help me buy a Grade Seven Aptitude Pill. The spirit stones will be paid by my Chen family.”” “Tier 7 aptitude pill? That was easy to say. When the time came, he could just ask Pill King Mo Xiao for it. He had quite a few.”Deshun Commandery Prince immediately agreed.
A Tier 7 Aptitude Pill might be extremely precious to others, but it was nothing to the Deshun Commandery Prince and some powerful Tier 7 forces.
Of course, it was not possible for an alchemist to refine pills for a long period of time. However, if he were to buy one every once in a while, no matter which alchemist it was, even Pill King Mo Xiao, would give him face.
Seeing that there was a seventh-grade aptitude pill, Yang Chen continued to ask,””Master, is there anyway to help a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Refining realm break through and open their meridians quickly?”
Chen Yang asked this question because of Chen Die.
There was only a year left before the 10-year period for the Primary Spirit Pill assessment. Yang Chen was naturally anxious and asked Die Chen to break through to the Meridian Opening Stage.
Upon hearing this, Deshun Commandery Prince stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying,””This matter is also simple. The safer way is to continuously use Meridian Unlocking Pills to break through.”
“This Meridian Unlocking Pill has mild medicinal properties. Even if you fail to break through, there won’t be any consequences.”
“As long as you’re willing to spend spirit stones, breaking through to Meridian Unsealing in a short period of time shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Let’s use this method.” Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
Chen Die was the only alchemist in the Chen Family, so Yang Chen naturally had to pay attention to her safety.
If he could settle it with spirit stones, why would he gamble his safety?
Deshun Commandery Prince was stunned, but he immediately scolded with a smile,”You brat, your family has earned quite a lot of spirit stones. You’re actually so generous.”
” Even if they are in the royal family, they wouldn’t be willing to push for Meridian Unsealing regardless of the price unless they are disciples that they value.”
“Your Chen family is more noble than the royal family.”
Seeing this, Yang Chen smiled and scratched his head,” The one who needs to break through and open his meridians is the only alchemist in our Chen family. Naturally, we have to pay attention to safety and play it safe.”
“That’s true. We naturally have to value such a precious talent.”Deshun Commandery Prince understood.
“Since that’s the case, I have nothing else to do. 1 hope A/Iaster will pay more attention to the matter of the grade-7 aptitude pill.”
Chen Yang turned around and left after bowing to the Prince of Deshun.
Chen Yang, who had left the Deshun Prince’s Mansion, was not in a hurry to return to the Chen Family. Instead, he headed to the Zhou Trading Company in Yi City.
“Customer, what do you need?”
As soon as they entered the mall, an attendant greeted them with a smile.
Seeing this, Chen Yang gave Zhou Mingxiao to Chen Yang and showed the token that represented the status of the Zhou Trading Company’s distinguished guest to the attendant.
The attendant took the token and examined it for a moment. Then, his pupils constricted and he returned the token to Chen Yang with a cautious expression. Then, he said,”Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. I will go and invite my shopkeeper.”
Seeing this, Chen Yang nodded his head and then started to size up the business.
Not long after, the Yi City shopkeeper came up with a smile and bowed to Chen Yang.” 1 didn’t know you were here. I hope you can forgive me.””
“Shopkeeper, there’s no need to be so polite.” Yang Chen smiled as he helped the shopkeeper up and said,””I want to buy some medicinal pills. I wonder if the shopkeeper has them here.”
“Yes, sir. Please follow me.”
Immediately, under the surprised gazes of the guests, Yang Chen followed the shopkeeper into the inner room.
After the two of them disappeared, the guests began to chat with ease.
“Who is that person? Why is he welcomed by the shopkeeper? I remember that even though the Patriarch of an Eight-rank Aristocratic Family came, the shopkeeper here didn’t come out to welcome him.”
“Who knows? 1 guess he’s a royal descendant. Forget it, what does this have to do with you and me? Just do what you need to do.”
This wave came and fell quickly. Soon, everyone stopped paying attention to this matter.
In the inner chamber.
After serving him a cup of tea, the shopkeeper looked at Chen Yang with a flattering expression.” What kind of pills do you need, sir?”
“Meridian Unlocking Pill.” Yang Chen took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
Hearing that Yang Chen wanted the Meridian Unlocking Pill, the shopkeeper’s smile widened and he quickly asked,””How much does AAilord want?”
“How much…”
Yang Chen thought about it and felt that it was better to be safe. He immediately said,”Give me ten pills first.”
Ten!
The shopkeeper felt that his eyes were blinded by the light of the spirit stone. How much commission could he get from ten Meridian Unlocking Elixirs?
The shopkeeper immediately stood up.” Please wait a moment, sir. I’ll be right back.””
“Okay, go ahead.”
Not long after, the shopkeeper came over with a storage bag. After bowing to Yang Chen, he took out ten ice-white jade bottles from the storage bag.
“Sir, here are ten Meridian Unlocking Pills.”
Yang Chen looked at it and smiled.” Not bad. The quality is not bad. Tell me, how many spirit stones do you want?””
“Milord, your token can be used to purchase anything at the Zhou Trading Company at an 80% discount. After this discount, the total price is 24,000 spirit stones.”
“The price is quite reasonable. I’ll keep it on record. Later, I’ll ask the manager of the Zhou Trading Company in Chen City to go to my Chen Family to get the spirit stones.”
Yang Chen put away the Meridian Unlocking Pill and turned to leave.
“Sir, wait.” The shopkeeper stopped Yang Chen. After Yang Chen stopped, the shopkeeper said in embarrassment,””There’s no problem with accounting, but can you send the spirit stones here?”
“Oh, is there a difference?” Yang Chen asked.
“Well, if you don’t know, if you let Shopkeeper Chen Cheng take the spirit stones, this commission won’t be counted as mine.’The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.
Chen Yang laughed.” Alright, within ten days, my Chen Family will hand over the spirit stones..””
