Seeing that Ye Fan understood what he meant, the young man in the shop said: "You don't look like a bad person, so I will help you once. In fact, not everyone can participate in the Dragon Gate Competition in the Dan Palace.
You probably haven't earned the title of medicine boy yet."
Seeing Ye Fan's puzzled face, the young man explained again: "In the Dragon Gate Competition of the Dan Palace, you can only participate in the Dragon Gate Competition if you first obtain the title of Medicine Boy. Now that you are not a medicine boy, let alone participate in the Dragon Gate Competition, you will not be able to participate in the Dragon Gate Competition."
You can't even enter the Dragon Gate Competition, so I will take you to see a senior now, he should be able to help you get the qualifications to participate."
When Ye Fan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then understood.
It seems that the Dragon Gate Competition of the Dan Palace is really not simple. If you want to participate in the Dragon Gate Competition, you must obtain the approval of the Dan Palace.
Only those who first become the medicine boy of the Alchemy Palace can further participate in the Dragon Gate Competition.
The young man in the shop obviously knew that Ye Fan participated in the Dragon Gate Competition just to get the protection of the Dan Palace and to find a strong backer.
In fact, just as the young man in this shop thought, if Ye Fan could become famous in this competition and be recognized by the Alchemy Palace, his current crisis would be solved immediately.
The only thing I have to worry about now is that I don’t know the status of You Jiuming’s master in the Alchemy Palace...
If You Jiuming's master is a very powerful elder in the Dan Palace, he really has to be on guard before he gets the attention of the upper echelons of the Dan Palace.
Before, Ye Fan was still a little confused about the behavior of the young man in this shop.
However, through the subsequent conversation, Ye Fan learned that a large part of the people living in Medicine City were working as 'intermediaries'.
These people specialize in providing some agency information to outsiders, hoping to make profits from it.
Thinking about it, if through their explanations, someone can really become the core figure of the Alchemy Palace, then in the future, they will be more or less taken care of for those living at the bottom of Medicine City.
It's just that the young man talking to Ye Fan is slightly different, because this young man is actually a medicine apprentice.
Although his level is not high, as a medicine apprentice, he still participated in the Dragon Gate Competition, hoping to improve his level again in the competition.
As for taking Ye Fan to go through the "back door", it was a convenient thing, because at this time, he was about to close the shop and go to a place to ask an old man for skills.
Ye Fan thought that the person who could help him get through the back door should have an extraordinary status in Medicine City no matter what.
At least he is also a high-level executive at the Yaocheng deacon level.
Unexpectedly, after Lu Yifeng led him around many turns, he actually stopped in front of a dilapidated and old carpenter's shop.
The entire carpenter's shop was less than ten square meters. An old man with a head full of sawdust was carving a wooden sculpture. He looked very focused and seemed not to see Ye Fan and Lu Yifeng come in at all.
This shop is shabby and small, and there aren't any good things on the counter.
After a brief glance, Ye Fan saw a few wood carvings of some age, but other than that, there was nothing else.
Obviously Lu Yifeng also learned his shop decoration style from this old man.
Ye Fan was secretly thinking, could turning a shop into such a ruins really bring in business?
As the saying goes, if the wine is fragrant, the alley may be too deep!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan didn't think any more. Maybe he was famous, so this seemingly simple shop should have an extraordinary origin.
"Crazy Master, my disciple is here to see you again." Lu Yifeng was very respectful to the old man in the shop. As soon as he walked in the door, he bowed to him with a ninety-degree bow.
Ye Fan was a little surprised when he saw Lu Yifeng's attitude towards the old man.
You know, as a medicine apprentice, Lu Yifeng also manages a group of medicine boys, so he also has a very high status in this medicine city. Through the conversation along the way, Ye Fan already knows that Lu Yifeng is not a bender.
A humble person.
Now seeing that he is so respectful to this old man, there is only one reason. This old man is definitely extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan carefully looked at the old man in the shop, but when his eyes just fell on the old man, his heart skipped a beat and his face was full of horror.
With his own cultivation, he couldn't see the depth of this old man at all, which really made Ye Fan a little unbelievable.
Ye Fan's spiritual consciousness cultivation at this time has reached the level of a high-ranking heavenly master. Even when he met Sword Shura last time, he could see the opponent's strength and cultivation at a glance.
But this old man who was carving wood couldn't tell the other person's cultivation level at all.
There is no doubt that this old man with an unspectacular appearance has a strength far beyond Ye Fan's imagination.
"Xiao Fengzi, I am not your master. Please don't scream." The old man glanced at Lu Yifeng indifferently, then focused on Ye Fan. After looking at Ye Fan carefully for a while, he said: "
Who is your surname, and how did you get involved with Xiao Fengzi?"
Obviously this old man has guessed that Ye Fan came here for the Dragon Gate Competition in the Dan Palace.
"Boy Ye Fan, I have met my senior." When Ye Fan saw the old man asking about him, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, and then continued: "As for how I met Brother Lu, it was just a coincidence..."
Before Ye Fan could finish his words, the old man interrupted directly: "Forget it, I have something to do today. Your name is Ye Fan, right? Okay, take this wooden sculpture and hand it over to the assessment hall of Dan Palace. As long as
You are really capable, and those guys will not treat you badly."
After saying that, he threw the wood carving he was carving directly to Ye Fan, and continued: "Every time I give out a wood carving, it represents a favor. Boy, you have to remember, this favor from me,
You will pay it back in the future, okay, let’s go for the assessment, I still have to carve..."
As soon as he said this, the old man just waved his sleeves gently, and a very domineering aura came over him, sending the two of them out of the door immediately.
Lu Yifeng and Ye Fan stood outside the store, looking at the closed store, but they were in a daze.
I don't even understand that this is a weird thing.
However, Lu Yifeng had obviously experienced something like this before. When he came to his senses, he quickly pulled Ye Fan and saluted the closed door before taking Ye Fan out of the store.
After the two walked a few streets, Ye Fancai looked at Lu Yifeng with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Who is that senior in the carpenter's shop? Can his one wood carving really open the door to the assessment hall?"
"Senior Mu used to be able to resolve matters in the Assessment Hall with just one sentence, but why would he give you a wooden sculpture today? This is really strange." At this point, Lu Yifeng shook his head and said:
"Forget it, Senior Mu's actions are always unpredictable and cannot be understood by us. Let's not think too much about it. Let's go to the Assessment Hall in Yaocheng first to finalize the matter of the Dragon Gate Competition."
Lu Yifeng looked at the wood carving in Ye Fan's hand with confusion and confusion on his face.
"What is the origin of that old man?" Ye Fan felt that it would be better for him to find out the identity of the old man. After all, when the old man gave him the wood carving, he said that it was a favor and he would have to do it in the future.
To return the favor to him.
When Lu Yifeng heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at the direction of the old man's carpenter's shop, with a hint of longing in his eyes as he said: "Actually, Senior Mu's status in Medicine City is not much lower than that of the master of Dan Palace.
Senior Mu is revered as the 'Heavenly Carpenter God' by the world, which means that his carpentry skills have reached the point where he has turned decay into magic. He is actually the only weapon refiner in Medicine City. Apart from the several masters of the Dan Palace, there is no one else.
People know that Senior Mu lives here in seclusion."
"Is he a weapon refiner?" Ye Fan looked at the wood carving in his hand with a suspicious look on his face. He really couldn't see the strangeness of this wood carving.
It can be said that not only does this wood carving look ordinary, but the craftsmanship of the carving is also ordinary.
Even if it were a wooden sculpture carved by an ordinary person, it would probably be stronger than the wooden sculpture in my hand.
An old man who can only carve wood carvings like this would be a weapon refiner?
Lu Yifeng saw the suspicion in Ye Fan's eyes and didn't care. He just smiled lightly and said: "Do you think that Senior Mu is not a reliable weapon refiner because the wood carving in your hand is very ordinary?
Hey, if you knew what kind of wood the wood carving in your hand was made of, you would probably be surprised."
Ye Fan threw away the wood carving in his hand and asked casually: "What kind of wood is this carved from?"
Lu Yifeng looked at the wood carving in Ye Fan's hand, sighed, and then said: "The wood carving in your hand was carved by Senior Mu out of rotten wood. As the saying goes, rotten wood cannot be carved. How can a rotten wood be used for carving?
Wood carving.
However, Senior Mu has this magical ability. Not only can he carve wooden sculptures out of rotten wood, but he can also carve the most flexible objects and the hardest objects in the world. But that is to say, anything in the world can be made into the hands of Senior Mu.
carving materials.”
Ye Fan was extremely shocked. It was simply unheard of to be able to carve anything out of anything in the world.
Even if you can use the power of heaven to change the internal structure of some objects, you can't carve solid and durable wood sculptures out of rotten wood.
At least Ye Fan doesn't have such ability.
"Senior Mu you are talking about, does he often give away wood carvings and then make others owe him favors?" Ye Fan thought that such an expert would not act without aim. What he did must have a purpose.
Sure enough, Lu Yifeng shook his head and said: "It is so difficult to get the wood carvings of Senior Mu. I have lived in this medicine city for more than ten years, and I have only seen three wood carvings given away by Senior Mu, including the one in your hand.
this."
"It seems that the things carved by that old man are very popular." Ye Fan looked at the wood carving in his hand. If he had no money to use it in the future, he should be able to get a lot of money by auctioning it off.
Lu Yifeng obviously understood what Ye Fan was thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "If you really want to sell this wood sculpture in your hand, then sell it to me. Even if it means bankrupting everything, I will not hesitate to do so.
However, if I were you, I wouldn’t sell this thing easily, because every piece of carving handed down by Senior Mu is priceless. Although I don’t know why Senior Mu would give you a wooden carving, but Senior Mu
The few carvings he gave away in the past did get him huge rewards, so you should be careful."
When Ye Fan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the old man has something up his sleeve.
As for what the old man wanted to do, Ye Fan didn't take it to heart.
What he needs now is time.
I believe that as long as he can temporarily get the protection of the Alchemy Palace, he can break through to the realm of Heavenly Master in a short time.
And as long as he breaks through to the realm of the Heavenly Master, by that time, no matter what other people's plans are against him in the Great Xia Kingdom, he will not be too afraid.
Moreover, if he could really rely on that old man's wood carvings to gain a foothold in the Alchemy Palace, it wouldn't matter to him even if he owed the old man a favor.
