Chapter 144: Entering the City Lord's Mansion for the First Time
Chapter 144: Entering the City Lord’s Mansion for the First Time
The entire Tiandang Continent area is controlled by the Tiandang City City Lord's Palace. The city lords of each city in the Tiandang Continent area are also directly appointed by the Tiandang Continent City Lord's Palace.
Lu Chen's eyes were a little confused.
What does Pavilion Master Deng Guangli want to do with him taking him to the City Lord's Mansion? He, Lu Chen, has no interaction with the City Lord's Mansion in Tiandang City. He has never even entered Tiandang City, let alone gone to the City Lord's Mansion.
.
Although Siye College belongs to Tiandang City, it is actually outside Tiandang City.
"Yes!" Deng Guangli nodded, "The city lord's wife's consciousness has become unstable since ten years ago, and there seems to be signs of collapse recently. The city lord, please invite some of the more well-known people in Tiandang City.
The alchemist went to the city lord's mansion to discuss a solution, and I was also invited."
Deng Guangli's voice was gentle, but it seemed to have a magical power that penetrated deeply into people's hearts.
However, Lu Chen still didn't quite understand. The city lord's wife had a problem with her knowledge of the sea. The city lord invited Deng Guangli to discuss countermeasures. So what did Deng Guangli take Lu Chen to do?
It is conceivable that the alchemist invited by the city lord is definitely the most powerful alchemist in Tiandang City. Deng Guangli is the master of the alchemy pavilion of Siye Academy. His alchemy ability is the strongest in the entire Siye Academy. He was invited
It's normal. But what's the point of Deng Guangli taking a young alchemist to the city lord's mansion?
"Haha, Lu Chen, I am very optimistic about your talent in Alchemy. I think if you can focus mainly on Alchemy, your Alchemy achievements may surpass mine in the future. I will take you with me this time
When you go to the City Lord's Mansion, I also hope that you can show your face in front of those alchemists who are quite successful in alchemy, which will be good for your future." Deng Guangli saw the confusion on Lu Chen's face, and he explained with a smile.
.
Hearing this sentence, Lu Chen understood.
It seems that Deng Guangli is really optimistic about him, Lu Chen, and wants to cultivate him. Bringing Lu Chen to become familiar with so many alchemy masters will definitely be of great benefit to Lu Chen's future development. Even if
Lu Chen didn't want to focus mainly on alchemy. It would also be good for Lu Chen to know those powerful alchemists.
Deng Guangli treated Lu Chen very favorably.
I am afraid that all the alchemists in the Alchemy Pavilion hope to follow Deng Guang away to the City Lord's Mansion, but Deng Guangli wants to take Lu Chen to the City Lord's Mansion. If others find out, who knows how many people will be envied to death.
"Thank you, Lord Pavilion." After thinking about it, Lu Chen quickly thanked him.
In fact, he is not very enthusiastic about going to the City Lord's Mansion to see the world, but Lu Chen can't help but appreciate Deng Guangli's kindness. Of course, going to the City Lord's Mansion to see the world is not a bad thing. Following Deng Guangli, at least he can
He looks familiar in front of the Lord City Lord.
In Tiandang City, Lu Chen had many enemies, such as the Bai family.
Lu Chen could tell with his toes that the Bai family would definitely find an opportunity to deal with him, but if he could establish such a small relationship with the Lord of the City, the Bai family would at least have some concerns about dealing with him.
The city lord is the master of Tiandang Continent. Even the big aristocratic families in Tiandang City cannot compete with the city lord's mansion. If the city lord is really determined to destroy an aristocratic family, it is definitely not impossible.
Just for the sake of stability, city lords generally would not offend a noble family easily, and would not destroy a noble family unless absolutely necessary. The impact of doing so would be too great.
"Well, let's go now!" Deng Guangli's eyes focused for a moment because he didn't see the expression that should have appeared on Lu Chen's face. It seemed that Lu Chen was not particularly excited when he heard the news.
.
However, Deng Guangli was very satisfied with Lu Chen's performance. This showed that Lu Chen was calm enough, which was not comparable to his peers. Deng Guangli was not very excited about Lu Chen. He thought Lu Chen was
Just be able to control your excitement.
"Go now?" Lu Chen was stunned again.
"Yes, let's go now. Why, do you still want to prepare?" Deng Guangli smiled.
"No... you can leave now." Lu Chen said quickly.
Deng Guangli took Lu Chen out of Siye Academy and into Tiandang City.
Although Lu Chen had expected the huge size of Tiandang City, Lu Chen was still extremely shocked when he actually saw it. The entire Tiandang City was more than a hundred times larger than Qingfeng City.
Qingfeng City can only be regarded as a small city in the Tiandang Continent. Not to mention Tiandang City, there are many cities in the Tiandang Continent that are several times or even dozens of times larger than Qingfeng City. Qingfeng
The city is a small border town.
After entering Tiandang City, the speed of the Tengyun carriage has slowed down a lot, but it is still very fast.
It took half an hour for the Tengyun carriage to stop. This place was already outside the city lord's palace.
Deng Guangli and Lu Chen got off the Tengyun carriage, and two armored guards immediately stepped forward. After knowing Deng Guangli's identity, the armored guards quickly saluted and invited Deng Guangli and Lu Chen to enter the city lord's palace.
Inside.
Then a person who looked like a steward took Deng Guangli and Lu Chen to a reception room. After waiting for a cup of tea, a figure wearing a golden robe walked in from the outside.
Deng Guangli quickly stood up.
Lu Chen kept watching Deng Guangli's movements, and when he saw Deng Guangli getting up, he stood up immediately.
Lu Chen was somewhat nervous when he came to the City Lord's Mansion for the first time. Especially after entering the City Lord's Mansion and seeing that the guards were all cultivators of the innate realm, Lu Chen was even more uncontrollably shocked.
You know, when we were in Qingfeng City, a big family like the Lu family didn't have many innate realm cultivators. In the entire Qingfeng City, there were probably only one or two hundred innate realm cultivators. But this day, the city master of Tiandang City
In the mansion, the guards are all cultivators of the innate realm.
It is normal to see innate cultivators in Four Leaf College, because Four Ye College is one of the four major colleges in the Tiandang Continent. Ninety percent of the young geniuses in the entire Tiandang Continent gather in the four major colleges. In the four major colleges, innate cultivators
There are naturally many students. However, this City Lord's Mansion is not a place to train cultivators. The guards are all innate practitioners, which is enough to show how powerful the City Lord's Mansion is.
"Lord City Lord!" Deng Guangli bowed slightly to the figure in golden robe.
"Guangli, you're here!" The golden-robed city lord smiled at Deng Guangli.
"Lu Chen! Meet the Lord of the City soon!" Deng Guangli looked at Lu Chen.
"I have met the Lord of the City." Lu Chen quickly bowed and saluted.
The city lord turned his eyes to Lu Chen, slightly confused, and then looked at Deng Guangli. Obviously, he was not very clear about Deng Guangli's intention of bringing a young man here.
"Lord City Lord, this is our student Lu Chen from Four Leaf College. Although student Lu Chen is under twenty years old, he has been promoted to become a student in the Upper School of Four Ye College. Moreover, Lu Chen's achievements in the alchemy path are also very amazing, less than two years old.
He was already a second-grade alchemist at the age of ten." Deng Guangli explained.
Hearing Deng Guangli's words, the city lord was obviously a little surprised. A student of the Upper Academy who is less than twenty years old, and a second-level alchemist who is less than twenty years old, any of these achievements are enough to be surprising.
The city lord's eyes turned to Lu Chen again, this time, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Young man is good! Sit down!" The city lord pressed his hand on Lu Chen and Deng Guanglixu.
"City Lord, how is Madam's condition now?" Deng Guangli asked.
"It's not good. The sea of consciousness is extremely unstable and may collapse at any time. Alas, for more than ten years, I have been relying on various elixirs to suppress the sea of consciousness. I have long expected that such a day will come. This time, please give me a pill
The master came here just to see if he can still find a way to suppress my wife's consciousness for a while." The city lord sighed.
When talking about his wife's state of consciousness, the city lord looked obviously tired. He also knew that it was almost impossible to completely solve his wife's problem. Now, he just wants to find a way.
Continue to suppress his wife's consciousness.
"We will do our best." Deng Guangli nodded and then asked, "Have the other alchemists arrived as well?"
"Most of them are already here, and there is one who should be here later today. I'll ask you to check on my wife's condition early tomorrow morning," Qiao Duan responded.
"Tonight, Guangli, brother Lu Chen, have a good rest first," Qiao Duan said.
Then, he called a steward to arrange accommodation for Lu Chen and Deng Guangli.
Early the next morning, a steward from the City Lord's Mansion took Lu Chen and Deng Guangli to the backyard.
Enter an exquisite courtyard.
The steward asked Deng Guangli and Lu Chen to enter the room on their own, then turned and left.
Lu Chen followed Deng Guangli into the main hall of the room and saw that there were already many people in the room. These people were very old and most of them had long beards. They were arguing about something.
As soon as Deng Guangli and Lu Chen walked in, they attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Of course, their eyes were all focused on Deng Guangli. They all just glanced at Lu Chen casually. They all knew Deng Guangli and had no interest in Lu Chen, a young boy.
"Guangli, you came just in time. Can you tell me whether two Yanyang grasses can neutralize three Yinhuan grasses?" An old man with a white beard, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, rushed to Deng Guangli's side, furious.
question.
"Yangyang grass? Zhonghe Yinhuancao?" Deng Guangli frowned.
Lu Chen couldn't help but change his mind.
Lu Chen had heard of the two spiritual herbs, Yan Yang Grass and Yin Huan Grass. Yan Yang Grass contained more masculine medicinal effects, while Yin Huan Grass contained more feminine medicinal effects. The properties of these two spiritual herbs were naturally incompatible.
When refining an elixir, if an elixir requires these two kinds of spiritual herbs, then you must find a way to neutralize the effects of the two kinds of spiritual herbs without any deviation.
Otherwise, the refined elixir will definitely not be stable and lead to failure.
It seems that the content of the argument among the people in this room before Deng Guangli and Lu Chen arrived was about alchemy.
"Guang Li, you came at the right time. That old fellow, Gao Song, actually said that two plants of Yanyang grass and three plants of Yinhuan grass can neutralize the medicinal properties." Ling, an old man in a gray robe, blushed and scratched his neck as he shouted.
Chase Lu felt ashamed.
Although he was introduced by Deng Guangli, Lu Chen generally knew that the old man and old lady in this room should be the powerful alchemist in Tiandang City who was invited by the city lord.
I originally thought that the powerful alchemists all have the demeanor of immortals, but I didn't expect to see them arguing endlessly, each one louder than the other. And the content of their argument was also very ridiculous. It can be said that there was not much.
meaning.
"I said...does it make sense for you to argue about this? Is there any kind of elixir that can be refined with only two plants of Yanyang grass and three plants of Yinhuan grass? The elixir needs to be refined from these two kinds of spiritual grass.
There must be more types of other spiritual herbs needed. Other types of spiritual herbs also have their own properties. The specific neutralization method still needs to be mastered by yourself when refining the elixir." Deng Guangli also had a black line on his forehead.
