"You don't have to be like this, Shopkeeper Tian. We don't want to make too much publicity during this trip. Just treat us as ordinary guests!"
Hearing this, Tian Xi straightened up his stooped body, leaned on a cane and said tremblingly: "Now that your distinguished guest has spoken, don't you dare not disobey me. I have prepared a room for you, please come with me."
Wang Tiezhu and a group of five people followed Tian Xi and went straight to the fifth floor, which is also the highest floor of the Xingyun Inn.
After arriving on the fifth floor, Tian Xi took out five jade tablets and handed them to Wang Tiezhu.
"Master Wang, these are the room cards for the five rooms. Please allocate them freely. If you need anything, just use the messenger talisman in the room to call. I have some trivial matters to take care of, so I won't disturb your rest."
After that, Tian Xi led a group of waiters downstairs, leaving only Wang Tiezhu and a few others.
After handing out the room cards, Wang Tiezhu chose a room facing the street, opened the door and walked in.
The room was not big, but the various furniture and furnishings inside all followed the luxurious look of the Nebula Inn. Everything was a rare treasure in the world. Wang Tiezhu was already numb to this and lay down on the bed to himself.
"Although Yu Tang said that people from the Nebula Chamber of Commerce can help with the investigation, it is always not good to rely too much on others. I will go to find out the situation in Yuhua City in person tonight, and then go to the Luo family with Ting Ruo and the others tomorrow.
The action will depend on the situation.”
After making up his mind, Wang Tiezhu stayed in his room to practice. It was not until night fell and the lights were first turned on that there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Tiezhu, the night market in Yuhua City has started. Do you want to go there together?"
It was Zhang Tingruo's voice.
Wang Tiezhu opened his eyes, smiled slightly, said hello, got out of bed, and put on his fox fur coat.
Open the door.
Discovered that everyone else was there except myself.
"Brother Tiezhu, let's go."
"good!"
The five of them went downstairs. Wang Tiezhu wanted to inform shopkeeper Tian Xi, but found that Tian Xi was not there. Recalling that he had said that he had something to do before, he stopped thinking about it.
Finally, after speaking to the waiter at the counter, he and Zhang Tingruo went out and walked towards the downtown area.
Because Yuhua City is located on the border of the snowy area, the cultural environment and specialty products are far different from those in the interior, which aroused their great interest.
Even Ye Huanxi and Liu Weizhi, who are usually steady, showed rare girlish looks.
Looking at the two women gathered around a jewelry stall, Wang Tiezhu smiled, said something to Zhang Tingruo, and started wandering around.
"Come here! Take a look! A serious snow-covered raging fire! In addition to the Snow Immortal of the Luo family, my family's raging fire is the most fragrant in Yuhua City! Passing guests may wish to come and have a taste, and I will teach you how to use it.
Tao, two people become immortals!"
Wang Tiezhu heard the shouts of the restaurant from a distance. He looked forward and saw a place with flags, the aroma of wine overflowing and people surging. It was a lively open-air wine shop.
I found an empty seat and sat down. Immediately a skilled waiter came over and asked with a smile on his face.
"What would you like, sir?"
"Bring me a jar of your good wine, and some random appetizers."
"Okay! Just wait!"
The waiter quickly swept away the snow on the table, then threw the rag over his shoulder and shouted loudly: "A jar of fire, a plate of beef with sauce, and a plate of fennel beans!"
After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Wang Tiezhu.
"Wait a minute."
"What else do you need, sir?" the waiter turned around and asked.
Wang Tiezhu shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my first time coming to this Jade Flower City, and I would like to know some general conditions in the city. Could you tell me a few things?"
Since ancient times, apart from specialized intelligence agencies, brothels and restaurants have been the most well-informed.
Wang Tiezhu would definitely not go to the brothel, and in this wine shop, the waiter who stayed here all year round knew the most information.
The guy rolled his eyes and looked embarrassed.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that we only have so few people in this shop. If I talk to you here for a long time, the boss will have to deduct my wages!"
Wang Tiezhu didn't know what the waiter meant. He just didn't have any gold or silver on him, so he simply took out a piece of low-grade spiritual crystal and waved it in front of the waiter's eyes.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
The guy's eyes lit up instantly, and his face was filled with a flattering smile.
"The young man is ignorant and has no idea that the guest is actually a master from the Immortal Sect!"
Wang Tiezhu nodded, thinking that this boy really knew the spirit crystal, so he threw the spirit crystal in his hand to him, crossed his arms and asked: "Is this okay with the boss?"
The guy caught the spirit crystal, put it to his mouth, breathed, wiped it with his clothes, and after confirming it was correct, stuffed it into his arms like a treasure.
"Sir, I wonder what you want to know?"
During the conversation, the wine and dishes Wang Tiezhu ordered were already placed on the table. He poured himself a bowl of wine and said casually: "I heard that there are four major families in Yuhua City. How much do you know about them? They all say
Let’s talk about it!”
"Okay!" the clerk said with a smile. He was about to sit down on the bench next to him, but he remembered something and quickly looked at Wang Tiezhu. Seeing him nodding, he put his butt on the bench.
"Ten years ago, there were only three major families in Jade Flower City. They were the Chen family where the Fengxue Sword Immortal Chen Xunmei lived, the Ma family where Ma Yingtian, the first head of Luoyu Peak, and one of the top ten fine wines, the Snow Immortal.
'The world-famous Luo family."
"The Chen family has developed since the day when Yuhua City was built. It has a strong foundation and deep prestige. In addition, its successive city lords have managed the city well, allowing mortals and monks in Yuhua City to live in harmony, so their status is the most noble and stable.
"
"The Ma family has transformed from a small family into a cultivating family because of the birth of Luo Yufeng's ancestor. Although Ma Yingtian's era has long passed, many people in the Ma family serve in Luo Yufeng and there are many monks in the family, so
The status is only lower than that of the Chen family."
"The rest of the Luo family is even more incredible. Although the Luo family has been unable to practice for generations because of their bloodline, they have brewed one of the top ten fine wines, 'Snow Immortal', even with their mortal bodies.
As a result, he accumulated a fortune and became the third largest family in Yuhua City."
"But in the past ten years, a family has migrated from Zhongzhou, and it is now the fourth largest wealthy family, the Zhou family."
"Although the Zhou family took root in Yuhua City late, due to its strong financial resources and powerful methods, it quickly established a foothold in the city and became the recognized fourth largest family in the snow city."
After saying this, the guy looked around and said to Wang Tiezhu in a low and mysterious voice: "I just heard that these four major families will soon become three major families."
