Chapter 26
Entering Chonghua
An hour and a half later, Fan Qingyao came back, carrying a small bag in his hand. There was a faint smell of alcohol on his body. It seemed that he had drunk a little.
"Young Master." Fan Qingyao sat down opposite Lin Lan and said, "The dishes here in Jingzhou are indeed the same as the legends. There are more sweet and spicy dishes. The Mingyan dishes are more delicious. Let's recruit someone who understands later."
Is Yancai’s cook good?”
Lin Lan opened his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and said, "It's up to you."
"Young master, you haven't eaten much since you started practicing." Fan Qingyao said helplessly: "Every time I order a good dish, I'm the only one eating it. Others look at it and think I don't understand the order of master and servant.
"
Lin Lan said softly: "Eating and drinking are just to satisfy our hunger. The pills for fasting grains are enough, and the meals are more balanced, and there is no need to worry about the reincarnation of grains."
Bigu's Bailiangdan is actually a kind of compressed food, but it is purer. In the words of the previous life, it is absorbed more thoroughly, and it contains more complete trace elements, which is more beneficial to health.
It is most suitable for people like him who need a lot of energy to practice magic.
Otherwise, just relying on ordinary food would be too slow.
The disadvantage is that the taste is average.
"Okay, sir, you are right."
Fan Qingyao pursed her lips, picked up the small package next to her, and while untying it, she said: "By the way, Master, I bought a few bottles of elixirs from Sister Yan. She said these are what you need now."
, do you want to take a look?"
"She sold you the pill?" Lin Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Fan Qingyao placed the elixirs bottle by bottle on the table next to him and said: "There are two elixirs. One is the Bailiang Dan you are taking now. She said it is the most suitable for providing energy when practicing mana in the early stages.
The Bigu Pill, these three bottles are Xuancao Dew, she said it is used to produce meat and activate blood."
"Xuancaolu?"
Lin Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had read about this kind of elixir in the books left by the Demon Master. Bailiang Dan was the most suitable elixir for practicing magic in the early stage, and Xuancao Dew was the most suitable external medicine for practicing the physical method in the early stage.
He is indeed about to start this stage of practice, and the auxiliary external medicine he wants is indeed Xuancao Dew, and he needs exactly three bottles.
And this Yan Xuezheng happened to provide this elixir, and it seemed that he knew his cultivation level.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Lan suddenly said softly: "It seems that the driver in green clothes next to her is really not an ordinary person."
"Ah?" Fan Qingyao couldn't help being stunned and asked, "What does it have to do with that coachman?"
"Her attitude when she first met me was that she obviously didn't see anything and had no intention of making friends with me." Lin Lan said softly: "But now she suddenly changed her attitude and she knew about my cultivation progress, so of course it was
The driver in green clothes next to her told her."
He still remembered that when the driver in green clothes looked at him, he looked at him with curiosity, unlike the others.
"How much did you spend on these elixirs?" Lin Lan asked.
"Four thousand taels, Xuancao Dew is more expensive, a bottle of one thousand taels." Fan Qingyao replied: "But I still have a lot of money that my father gave me before I left."
Lin Lan nodded slightly and said, "I don't give out favors at will. The family's upbringing is still good."
Fan Qingyao was stunned and asked: "Master, is that cheaper or more expensive?"
"Neither expensive nor cheap, normal price." Lin Lan recalled the notes left by the Demonic Master and said, "However, rare goods like Xuancaolu are not easy to buy, and the price is usually inflated. I agree with her.
A little favor."
Fan Qingyao groaned and said: "However, at the banquet just now, Sister Yan introduced a lot of things about Chonghua Academy to me, not only the entrance examination, but also after admission. I also helped the young master to ask about the Seven
What about the Holy Thatched Cottage? Master, do you want to hear it now?"
"Well, tell me." Lin Lan closed his eyes slightly.
Under the shroud of tranquility, in addition to practicing quickly, the state of mind is also clear and quiet, the thinking appears to be extremely jumpy and lively, and the memory is amazingly good, which is most suitable for practicing or thinking.
However, in this state, it is possible to trigger the 'predicted ending' at any time.
…
One night passed.
Early the next morning, the Fan family's motorcade followed Yan Nan's four-horse carriage and left Taiping County, heading for Chonghua City, the imperial capital.
Chonghua City is only more than forty miles away from Taiping County, and the official road is open all the way. Just two or three hours later, when Fan Qingyao heard the sound and opened the curtain to look around excitedly, he saw the stretch of land in front of him that stretched for an unknown number of miles.
city wall.
Although they are so far apart, you can't see the end of the city wall whether you look to the left or right. The city wall is so high that you have to raise your neck to see the city tower above. This huge city wall is like a cliff.
Like a wall, it stands quietly in front of you.
Fan Qingyao's eyes widened and he couldn't stop looking at this majestic city that had stood for thousands of years.
Lin Lan also looked at it twice before continuing to practice.
I was used to seeing skyscrapers in my previous life, so there was nothing surprising about a city wall of this height. However, in ancient times with such backward technology, it was probably impossible to build such an exaggerated city wall by manpower alone. Practitioners should have participated.
It is said that Chonghua City has 360 square meters, covering an area of 30 to 40 miles, supporting millions of people to live and multiply in it. A single city is enough to rival some large counties.
However, the foundation of Dingding is eternal, and endless achievements are here. As a once unified dynasty, the capital built by Dayu is naturally an extraordinary city, even though it has experienced many turmoils over the hundreds of years, and even reached the point of near-annihilation.
, Chonghua City is still standing, there must be something special about it.
The Fan family's horse-drawn carriage and ox-cart followed Yan Nan's four-horse carriage all the way to one of the thirty-six door openings in the north of the city. After easily passing through the long door opening of the city gate, they rushed towards the east of the imperial city without stopping.
Mandarin Place in front of.
The Imperial City stands in the north, and Wenhua Square is close to the Imperial City. The distance is not too far, so it only passes through a few wide streets. It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of a mansion in Wenhua Square.
This time Lin Lan restrained his calmness in advance. After the carriage stopped, he got out of the car and sat in the wheelchair again.
Although you have temporarily restrained your tranquility intention, it is better to move less, otherwise the time for the tranquility intention to converge will be shortened, and you will either enter a cultivation state or let the tranquility intention dissipate.
"I thought I had to wait for you a little longer, but this time the power was achieved quite quickly?"
Yan Nan looked at Lin Lan, with a smile on his lips, "I haven't seen anyone practicing Jing Gong for a long time, so you don't mind the trouble."
Lin Lan knew that she had obviously heard Fan Qingyao explain that it was caused by his cultivation, so she thought he was practicing the Jing Gong method.
Ordinary meditation methods can indeed make you more efficient if you practice quietly without moving, but there is no comparison with his method.
Moreover, there are many restrictions on static skills. Just for that little efficiency, naturally few people practice it.
"This is the Chonghua Guild Hall."
Yan Nan pointed to the plaque at the door of the mansion and explained casually: "The scholars who came from all over the country live in the nearby guild halls of various states. I, the Yuansheng of Chonghua Academy, come to take the entrance examination, so they all live in this Chonghua guild hall."
In the Hua Guild Hall.”
While talking, the door of the mansion opened.
A middle-aged man wearing a white robe and a hat came out with several servants, quickly came to Yan Nan, bowed respectfully and said: "I have seen Yan Xuezheng, how can you personally
Are you coming?"
"I'm just sending two Yuansheng here."
Yan Nan said casually: "Manager Xiao, you go and arrange a courtyard with a better environment, either Changhu Garden or Lichun Garden."
"This..." Manager Xiao said with some embarrassment: "There are people in Changhu Garden and Li Chun Courtyard. His Highness Prince Ning lives in Changhu Garden. His Highness also ordered Li Chun Courtyard to be assigned to another Yuan Sheng.
"
"Oh? Even though His Highness Prince Ning is the first student of this generation, he doesn't live in Prince Ning's mansion, so why would he come to the guild hall?" Yan Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I don't know for sure, but His Highness Prince Ning came here this morning." Manager Xiao said respectfully.
Yan Nan didn't care and said, "Then arrange another courtyard."
Manager Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Qingsu Garden is still empty. Although it is a little off, the environment is elegant and quite quiet. Do you think this is good?"
Yan Nan turned to look at Fan Qingyao and asked, "How?"
Fan Qingyao looked at Lin Lan and said, "Young Master has decided."
Lin Lan hummed: "Anything is fine."
Yan Nan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
