"It costs fifty taels of silver to live in such a room for one day?!"

"This damn black shop! The shopkeeper with a black heart!"

"It only costs less than one tael of silver to live in the best apartment in Xiangshan City for one day. Fifty taels of silver is enough to stay for two months!"

A pretty girl in white clothes kept pacing back and forth in the room, her little face full of anger.

"Master, they must be bullying us because we are from other places and are deliberately trying to trick us! No, I'm going to find the waiter to get the money back!"

Liu Xiaolu gritted his teeth, made up his mind, turned around and ran out of the house.

Hu Yizhi had just put Luo Lin on the bed in the back room. Seeing this, he hurried over, grabbed the girl's collar, and said with a headache, "Xiaolu, the prices in Zongyuan City are like this, worldly

Money is not a hard currency here, and the price of this inn is not expensive."

"Isn't this expensive? Doesn't it cost hundreds of taels of silver to stay in other inns for a day?" Liu Xiaolu's eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock.

"Not to mention hundreds of taels of silver, even if it's more expensive, you can get it. Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you to dinner first." Hu Yizhi said, holding his forehead.

The two of them came to the inn lobby, randomly chose a table and sat down, and asked the young man in blue to order some food.

This restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is served very quickly. After a short wait, several side dishes were served.

But looking at the three delicious dishes and one soup in front of him, Liu Xiaolu's face turned even more ugly.

"A portion of Yancao Rubisi for twenty taels of silver is fried with three shreds? A portion of Peerless Shuangjiao for fifteen taels of silver is fried with green pepper and red pepper?"

"A cucumber renamed Qinglong Wuxue can be sold for ten taels of silver? And this, this Jade Palace Cangjiao, is actually a bowl of loach tofu soup!!"

"There are too many ways for people in Zongyuan City to cheat money!" Liu Xiaolu said bitterly, biting the chopsticks in his mouth.

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly." Hu Yizhi shook his head helplessly and reached out to fill a bowl of soup for the little girl opposite.

Fortunately, it was already past dinner time, and there were not many tables of diners in the lobby. Liu Xiaolu's gnashing of teeth did not attract much attention.

After dinner, Hu Yizhi took Liu Xiaolu to the street to buy things.

I don’t know why, even though it’s already night, there are more people on the street than during the day. The vegetation on both sides of the street is covered with paper flowers cut from paper of various colors, and every house is brightly lit.

Decorated with lanterns and colors.

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Liu Xiaolu followed Hu Yizhi, looking left and right. His pair of round black eyes were reflected in a colorful array of colors by the lights in the city.

"Today is February 12th, and Zongyuan City's Hua Chao Lantern Festival is indeed a grand spectacle." Hu Yizhi slowed down and said to the girl behind him.

The two of them walked along the crowded streets for almost an hour, and finally stopped in front of a remote shop.

Liu Xiaolu looked up and saw that the store was quite large. The plaque at the door read the three characters "Wanxiang Pavilion", but the business didn't seem to be very good. Looking in from the door, there were many items on the large counter in the store.

There are many objects, mainly swords, but there are only a few customers.

"Let's go." Hu Yizhi took the lead and walked into the store.

As soon as he entered the store, a handsome young man came up to him and said, "Two immortal masters, please come in. What do you two need?"

Liu Xiaolu was slightly startled, and looked at the young man in front of him curiously, only to find that he was just an ordinary person without spiritual roots, and he couldn't help but have a puzzled expression on his face.

The young man seemed to be quite good at observing words and expressions. He rolled his eyes and said to Liu Xiaolu, "This is the first time for this little immortal master to come to our Wanxiang Pavilion. Our Wanxiang Pavilion does not deal with ordinary people, but a family."

The Weapon Refining Pavilion specializes in refining magical weapons for immortal masters. I am not bragging, the magical weapons made by our family are famous far and wide, and their power is amazing."

Hu Yizhi coughed lightly at the side, and the young man stopped talking, turned to look at the man in white beside him, and said with a smile, "What are your instructions from this immortal master?"

"Is your Pavilion Master here?"

"Um, Immortal Master, our pavilion master doesn't accept guests easily," the young man said hesitantly.

"Please send a message and tell me that Hu Yizhi is back."

"Are you from the Hu family in Yuchuan?" The young man was shocked when he heard this. He looked Hu Yizhi up and down again, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Immortal master, wait a moment, I will inform the pavilion master for you, but the pavilion master has no opinion

Without you, the villain won’t be able to take charge.”

"Thank you." Hu Yizhi nodded with a smile.

Not long after waiting, the young man trotted back with a happy face and said to the two of them, "Two immortal masters, the master of the pavilion has invited you, please come with me."

Hu Yizhi and Liu Xiaolu followed the young man upstairs. Upstairs was a simple tea room with green radish hanging on the wall. An antique purple sand tea set was placed on the tea table in the middle. There were several tea sets beside the table.

On a round wooden pier, an old man in Tsing Yi with white hair and a childlike face is sipping tea.

As if he heard the footsteps of several people, the old man put down his tea cup and looked up.

"You, are you really Yizhi?" The old man in green looked at Hu Yizhi who was walking in the front carefully and asked with some uncertainty.

"Uncle Lou, it's Yizhi who's back." Hu Yizhi's voice was trembling as he strode forward and bowed to the old man in green.

"Okay! Okay! It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!" Hearing this, the old man stood up quickly, stretched out his hand to help Hu Yizhi up, and kept saying.

When the young man who led the two people upstairs saw this scene, he stood up on tiptoes and turned around and went downstairs without anyone else's instructions.

The old man stared at Hu Yizhi again and looked at him carefully, then he pulled him to sit down at the table and said, "When you left the Hu family, I wanted to pick you up and bring you to my place, but in the end, I followed the direction you left.

I searched for more than a hundred miles and found no whereabouts of you. I thought you were poisoned by that man. I have been uneasy in my heart over the years, and I just feel ashamed of the friendship I had with your father back then."

Hu Yizhi's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head and said, "It's not Uncle Lou's fault for this matter. That man's cultivation is very advanced. Even if Uncle Lou comes forward for this matter, the result will not change. That's why I didn't inform Lou back then."

Then my uncle secretly left. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be rescued from that man by an expert in swordsmanship. I wasted more than twenty years in the secular world, and it was only today that I was able to return."

"It's good to come back. From now on, you can stay at Uncle Lou's place with peace of mind. Although Uncle Lou's cultivation level is not high, he has accumulated a lot of contacts in Zongyuan City over the years, which is enough to keep you safe." The old man pulled Hu Yizhi.

sleeves and said in a sincere tone.

"Uncle Lou is joking. Uncle Lou's cultivation in the later stage of Qi refining is already quite good in Zongyuan City." Hu Yizhi said with a smile.

"Don't use these words to make me happy anymore. I am now over sixty years old. Not only is there no hope of building a foundation in this life, but it has become impossible to even break through the tenth level of Qi refining." The old man sighed and shook his head.

.

After hearing this, Hu Yizhi said a few more words of comfort, and then said, "Uncle Lou, I am going back to Yuchuan tomorrow."

The old man looked stunned and said in surprise, "You want to go back to Yuchuan? But you clearly haven't broken through the eighth level of Qi refining yet, how can you return?"
