"Then...when can you come over?" Xia Yuan looked over expectantly.
Knowing that the Seven Star Wood Shouwen can help him heal his injuries, I feel like I can't wait even a day.
If he hadn't fallen asleep while riding the flying monster just now, and that guy flew in the wrong direction again, he would have arrived in the morning...
Hey, this garbage monster is old and has a poor sense of direction. If it flies by the wrong direction next time, I will kill it for meat!
"Tomorrow!"
Wu Yue waved her hand, "It's dark now, and you can't see clearly even if you go there! I heard that your college has recruited two new nine-meridian geniuses this year?"
"It's nothing..." Xia Yuan shook his head quickly.
Wu Yue snorted coldly, "I have confirmed the news, there is no need to hide it... Well, I have recruited a good disciple this year. He is just sixteen years old. I will take him there tomorrow! You will also take the two Nine Meridians students with you.
Come here and let them discuss it!"
"Discussion?"
Xia Yuan looked confused.
Wu Yue smiled, "That's right! If you lose, the two Nine Meridians students will share one with our Yingyue Sect..."
"No!" Xia Yuan shook his head quickly.
All the major sects can’t get hold of the Nine Meridians Genius. Let’s share one…what a joke!
As if he had guessed that he would refuse, Wu Yue said: "It doesn't matter, if your students lose, let them come to my Yingyue Sect as a guest for a month! And if my disciple loses, they will stay in your college for a month.
...There should be no problem with this!"
"Being a guest?"
Xia Yuan frowned and finally nodded, "It's good that the two sects communicate with each other. It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of disciple can make you so confident."
He believed that Xu Hong was so powerful that he could beat even a third-year genius, and even the masters on the grandmaster list could hardly defeat him. It would be almost impossible to defeat him at the same age!
In this case, no matter what his request is, just agree to it!
"good!"
Wu Yue smiled softly and flicked her sleeves, "See you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
"This girl is still the same as before. It's just a pity that Yang Mo..." Seeing the other party's disappearing back, Xia Yuan shook his head and said hello. His flying monster immediately landed, jumped on the beast's back, and immediately broke through the air.
And go.
Back then, Yang Mo pursued this Wu Yue, but unfortunately some changes occurred and the two did not get together in the end, which became a regret in the hearts of countless people.
Of course, this is a good thing for Hongwu Academy. Otherwise, if the two major sects, Danyuan Sect and Yingyue Sect, unite, they will be restrained everywhere.
"It will be a while before we fly to the academy, so I just have the opportunity to take a nap..."
After muttering something, Xia Yuan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The monster beast under him was flying listlessly when it suddenly saw a soaring goshawk, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it immediately chased after it with excitement.
…
At the same time, Wei Ziyang came to Tianyi Auction House again.
After sitting in the quiet room for less than a quarter of an hour, Mr. Cheng hurried over, entered the room, bowed and clasped his fists.
"I heard that this friend has a large amount of wood longevity patterns that he wants to sell?"
"good!"
Wei Ziyang pretends to be a middle-aged man, with a dark face that makes it difficult to tell the emotions.
"How many are they approximately, and what are their qualities?" Mr. Cheng asked.
Wei Ziyang said: "They are all Guangmu grade, about a thousand pieces in total. If the price you give is reasonable, I can eat them. I don't mind packaging them for you to sell."
"A thousand?"
Mr. Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
The speed of collecting a thousand wooden longevity patterns in scattered pieces is too slow. I don't know how long it will take to complete. Being able to buy them all at once is cheap and easy. Naturally, this is what he wants to see the most.
Wei Ziyang looked over and asked, "What price can you roughly give?"
Mr. Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "An ordinary Guangmu Shouwen plant costs about ten thousand taels of silver... However, different varieties have different prices. Even so, the overall price will not exceed 20 million taels of silver!
We hope to check the longevity pattern first and determine the type before setting the price. Rest assured, Tianyi Auction House’s price is the most reasonable and fair.”
Hearing that the other party did not deliberately lower the price, which was not much different from what he had inquired about before, Wei Ziyang nodded and said, "When can the transaction be made?"
"This time the auction house is buying for others. How about this? Tomorrow night, I will help you make an appointment with the buyer. How about we meet and discuss it then?"
Mr. Cheng said.
Wei Ziyang nodded.
Xu Hong happened to have told him that it was tomorrow night, so it would be most appropriate to meet again tomorrow.
After setting the meeting procedure and saying no more, Wei Ziyang turned around and left. Shortly after walking out of the auction house, when he came out of an uninhabited alley again, he had changed into a completely different person.
As he left, Mr. Cheng's people hurried towards the East Palace.
Less than half an hour later, the prince, dressed in black, appeared in the quiet room of the auction house.
"Someone sells a thousand wooden longevity patterns in one go?"
After listening to the emperor's uncle's detailed explanation, Cheng Yu's brows furrowed into knots.
Dean Xia here had just threatened them with a thousand wooden longevity patterns, and in the blink of an eye someone came to take action, no more, no less, a thousand...
What a coincidence!
"What is the origin of that person? Has the emperor investigated it?" Cheng Yu asked after thinking for a while.
"This is his portrait. I asked an artist to draw it just now. The similarity is over 90%! In addition, I sent people to follow him, but he disappeared not long after following him, and the seven hidden stakes were not found."
Mr. Cheng said.
He deliberately postponed the transaction until tomorrow just to check the origin of the other party. As a result, this guy, like Xu Hong, disappeared completely after entering an alley, as if he had never appeared at all...
Cheng Yu took the portrait without opening it, and handed it to Commander Shanjun behind him, "Go check it out!"
Shan Jun's figure flashed and disappeared from the place.
No longer paying attention to the other party, Cheng Yu looked again, "How strong is this person?"
After thinking for a while, Mr. Cheng said: "It is unfathomable, at least my cultivation level has not seen it through!"
Cheng Yu's eyes immediately narrowed.
My uncle, the emperor, has already reached the longevity-enhancing realm. Although he is not too strong, he still has the cultivation level of the second level of longevity-increasing foundation-building realm.
With this kind of strength, one doesn't even know what kind of strength the other party has. I'm afraid he is a super strong person who is no lower than the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With this kind of cultivation, even in Danyuan Sect and other places, he is definitely considered an elder.
After asking a few more questions and confirming the time to meet tomorrow, Cheng Yu walked out and stood outside the door. Not long after, Commander Shan Jun reappeared in front of him.
"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, we have checked and found that there is no such person who has reached the realm of longevity from King Yuan City!"
Li Yuanwang City has a population of no less than ten million. It would take a month to search for just one portrait, but searching for the powerful people in the longevity realm can be completed very quickly.
Cheng Yu seemed to have confirmed the guess in his heart, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to continue to check, it is probably not the true identity. As for who it is, you will know it when we meet tomorrow. By the way, tell Cheng Hao and ask him to date that person
Xu Hong, come and see me tomorrow night."
"Yes!" Shan Jun nodded and left again.
…
Unexpectedly, there was some turmoil in the entire royal city. At this time, Xu Hong found Elder Xuan Ye who was about to go to bed.
Knowing his purpose, Elder Xuan Ye said: "In the elder's resources, you can enjoy a 50 to 20% discount on the purchase of elixirs. Of course, the purchased medicinal materials can only be used by yourself and cannot be sold. Otherwise, not only will the purchase qualification be cancelled,
, and will be directly expelled.”
Xu Hong asked curiously: "Is the discount still graded?"
Elder Xuan Ye explained: "Elders also have ranks and merits. In addition to the dean, deputy dean, elder Hong Yuan, elder Han Qu and others, they are the ones with the highest authority. They can all buy at a 50% discount. The following are me, Chen
Elders Zhao, Liu Mo and others are entitled to a 60% discount, and the following are ordinary deacons and elders, a 30% discount. As for the new elders, all are 20% off. Although you only enjoy the treatment of elders, the dean has personally explained it.
, purchase medicines directly with a 50% discount.”
Xu Hong's eyes immediately lit up.
It seems that he did not get this "elder treatment" in vain. It was of great use at critical moments.
"Well, I wonder what medicinal materials you want to buy?" Elder Xuan Ye looked over with a smile.
Xu Hongdao: "I want to buy some Qi-boosting pills!"
Elder Xuan Ye said: "Although the Qi-Building Pill is not considered high-end among the first-grade pills, it is used by many people. If you buy it with silver taels, it will cost about one hundred thousand taels. Moreover, each elder will pay for it every month."
There is only a purchase quota of two coins, and you cannot buy more."
"Two?" Xu Hong frowned.
His lifespan is exhausted too quickly. Dozens or hundreds of them are not too many. What is the use of two?
Seeing his doubts, Elder Xuan Ye said: "It is not easy to refine Qi-Building Pills. Even I can refine at most seven or eight pills in a month. An ordinary pill pharmacist can successfully refine two or three pills in a month."
That’s good! After all, everyone is not a super genius like Master Yang..."
"Are you talking about Senior Brother Yang Mo?" Xu Hong looked over.
Elder Xuan Ye nodded, "Well, he is one of the few elixir wizards within a few hundred years of the Yuan Dynasty. He has reached the peak of longevity at the age of eighty. It is said that he can refine 30 Qi-boosting pills in a month.
, The power of his methods and the speed of refining medicine are breathtaking! I once had the honor to see him practice medicine. He is indeed a miraculous and unfathomable person!"
Elder Xuan Ye had been to Jiyuan City and knew about the relationship between the man in front of him and Yang Mo.
Xu Hong scratched his head.
It seems... He has also seen the other party refining medicine. The alchemy furnace is very good, but he can't even prepare a Qi-enhancing liquid. Is this called unfathomable?
Of course, I have only seen the opponent preparing medicinal liquids, but not refining elixirs. Perhaps... in this aspect, he is indeed very strong.
"If you want to buy it, I will take you to the [Elixir Garden] now. I heard from Elder Hong Yuan that you have a good talent for elixirs. I just happened to go there to see how others make elixirs and lay the foundation for future learning."
Elder Xuan Ye said.
The elixir garden is not far from the vitality garden. It is a tall and wide building. It not only sells elixirs, but is also where students learn alchemy. It is considered one of the most important places in the entire Hongwu Academy.
Entering it, you immediately saw dozens of rooms separated from each other around the wide hall. Inside each room, there was a furnace cauldron, with qi surging and flames rolling. It was surrounded by people, including teachers and students.
"These are all students with elixir talents. They are learning elixir refining from their teacher, and they are also trying it themselves. However... no more than twenty people can successfully refine elixirs every year, and no more than two people can successfully refine elixirs every year.
indivual……"
Elder Xuan Ye introduced.
"so little?"
Xu Hong looked at the many rooms. There were densely packed students, as many as two or three hundred. With so many people, no more than two could refine the elixir... Isn't the probability only one percent?
The key... those who can come to learn are those who have tested their talents.
Elder Xuan Ye had a look of emotion in his eyes and said: "The alchemist profession means thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. That is why it is so precious. Otherwise, why would it be called the number one profession in the world?"
Xu Hong was silent.
I heard Senior Brother Yang Mo talk about how high the status of an alchemist is before, but I have never personally experienced it, and I don't think much about it. Now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary.
Continue to look at the surrounding rooms.
Some are teachers refining medicines, and some are students experimenting. The sounds of furnaces being opened and exploded, scoldings, and insults can be heard all the time.
Xu Hong looked strange.
Whether students or teachers, when refining pills, they are trying to adapt to the longevity patterns on the furnace. If there is a slight lack of energy, the patterns will be wrong, resulting in the destruction of the medicinal materials.
This is like taming wild horses. You can tame one or two wild horses. Many people can do it. Dozens of them can be tamed in one breath. No matter how strong you are, you will feel that you are unable to do it, even those who are strong in the longevity realm.
No wonder refining the medicine is complicated. You have to fight wits and courage with the longevity pattern. After refining one batch, your energy is almost exhausted. If you want to continue the next batch, it will be difficult to complete it without recovering for a few days.
"You see? The most difficult part of refining elixirs is controlling longevity marks. When you start learning in the future, you will understand how much energy is wasted..."
While the two were talking, they came to the window where elixirs were sold.
Students are also sold here, but they are all elixirs. Students are not eligible to buy elixirs unless they have completed a certain task or have certain merits.
For example, if you reach the top three in the Grandmaster Ranking, you will be eligible to purchase an elixir, and this is only limited to Qi-Building Pills. Top-level elixirs such as the Heaven-Searching Pill are also not eligible to purchase.
Of course, the college is already very lenient towards its students. It is difficult for outsiders to buy elixirs. Because of this, every elixir flowing into the market will cause countless people to go crazy.
"Hello, teacher, I want to buy two Qi Replenishing Pills!"
Xu Hong smiled.
"Qi-boosting pill?"
The teacher was a young man in his 30s. He was stunned for a moment, and then there was a trace of hesitation on his face, "Well... I may want to check your purchase qualifications. I would like to ask... are there any merit talismans or purchase tokens?
?”
"Character of Merit?"
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Hong shook his head, "No, there are quite a few tokens. Let's see which one can be used..."
After saying that, he flipped his wrist and several tokens fell on the table.
"Dean Xia's token, Dean Han's token, Elder Hong's token... and the Danyuan Sect's golden order? This..."
The teacher froze on the spot, his eyes widened, and he was speechless.
