In the upper room of the largest restaurant, a figure in black was sitting cross-legged, and beside him, there was an old man with gray hair, who was continuously tapping several key points on his body.
It was obvious that the old man next to him was a pulse refining master who had reached the lower level of the immortal level. He was using the art of refining pulses to expel something for the man in black.
If Yun Xiao were here, he might have immediately recognized that the man in black was Xu Chen who escaped under the sunflower tree and was ranked eighth on the list of villains in the Southern Region.
It was a fluke that Xu Chen escaped last time. If it weren't for the extremely realistic puppet, he might have been poisoned and died.
After escaping with his life, the first thing he wanted to think about was naturally how to detoxify.
But how can it be so easy to dissolve the poison by inducing the dragon tree spirit to transform it into thousands of poisons with one thought?
During this period of time, Xu Chen invited almost all the pulse refiners from Nankui City to Guanyun City.
For those pulse refining masters who were at the advanced level of saint level or semi-immortal, Xu Chen would just use force. As for the pulse refining masters who had reached the level of immortal, they would have to pay a price.
However, as time went by, Xu Chen became more and more irritable, because none of the pulse refiners could resolve the poison in his body, so he even killed two of them.
When even some lower-level immortal-level pulse refiners were helpless, Xu Chen had to spend a lot of money to hire this intermediate-level immortal-level pulse refiner to exorcise the poison for him.
Speaking of which, this immortal-level intermediate pulse refiner is very famous in Guanyun City. He is the royal chief pulse refiner of the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce, and his status in the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce is definitely not low.
Guanyun City is famous in this area, and the reason why this city is famous is not only due to the opportunities that may exist in the clouds and mist above, but it is also inseparable from the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce.
The Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the most powerful force within Guanyun City, and it is said that the president of its chamber of commerce has reached the level of a middle-grade immortal.
And since the old pulse refiner in front of him is already an intermediate-level immortal-level pulse refiner, it means that his pulse Qi cultivation will definitely not be lower than that of a fourth-level immortal.
In other words, the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce has at least two middle-grade immortals in charge, and its overall strength is much stronger than that of the Immortal Kui Sect, the former overlord of Nankui City, and there is not even the slightest comparison.
The Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce is somewhat different from the Xiankui Sect, because this force, which started as a businessman, does not like to fight with others. It has always valued peace and is quite popular in the surrounding area.
However, to become the largest force within Guanyun City, the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce is by no means as harmless as it appears on the surface. As for what sinister deeds it may do secretly, no one knows.
Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce holds a large-scale auction every month. At the auction, there will be many rare treasures of heaven and earth, or immortal-level elixirs.
It is said that once there was an intermediate-level fairy-level elixir, which caused a lot of competition and almost a fight at the auction. In the end, the president of Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce suppressed it and stopped the fight.
Over time, Guanyun City would attract countless cultivators during the monthly large-scale auctions. Not only low-grade immortals, but also some mid-grade immortals would also come to join in the fun.
It was precisely because the large-scale auction was approaching this month that Xu Chen came to try his luck. Who knew that those low-level pulse refiners at the immortal level all had silver-like wax guns and were helpless against the poison he was exposed to?
With no other choice, Xu Chen could only hold back his heartache and spent a lot of money to invite Bu Denggao, the chief pulse refiner of the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce, an intermediate-level immortal-level pulse refiner with a rather strange name.
Even though Bu Denggao's name is very strange, he is well-known in Guanyun City. In addition to having reached the fourth level of Immortal Master in pulse energy cultivation, his ability to heal pulses is unrivaled in Guanyun City.
It's just that the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce started out as a businessman. In business, if they wanted to hire this intermediate-level Immortal Pulse Refiner, the price paid would make even people like Xu Chen feel extremely heartbroken.
But for the sake of his own life, Xu Chen finally gritted his teeth and spent almost half of his net worth to invite Bu Denggao here to detoxify him.
It had to be said that Bu Denggao's art of healing pulses was much better than those of low-level immortal-level pulse refiners. From his face, Xu Chen never saw the embarrassed expressions of those previous pulse refiners.
This gave Xu Chen a glimmer of hope, and he secretly thought that although the money was heartbreaking to spend, it was worth it. As long as he could detoxify himself of the poison in his body, he could still earn the money back.
It is easy for people like Xu Chen to make money. What he does is business without capital. Otherwise, how could he become the eighth villain on the list of villains in the Southern Territory?
In other words, the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce has dealt with all parties. Otherwise, when other people saw Xu Chen in such a state, they would have added insult to injury and captured him, and then went to some wanted sects to collect the reward.
Because the price Xu Chen paid was enough, Bu Denggao did not pretend to deal with it, and the poison in this man's body also interested him. He seemed to have never seen such poison.
It has to be said that intermediate-level immortal-level medical pulse masters are quite good at resolving poisons.
After several hours of pulse arrays expelling poison, which made Xu Chen sweat profusely and turn pale, the aura around him finally became calmer.
"Huh..., luckily I did not disgrace my life!"
Bu Denggao retracted his palm, exhaled a long breath, and then said something that made Xu Chen's pale face appear with a smile.
"Thank you Bu Lao!"
Xu Chen's words were sincere thanks, because he could no longer sense the poison that had always existed in his body. In his opinion, an intermediate-level immortal-level pulse refiner would never miss a chance.
"It's just a transaction, you don't have to be polite!"
Bu Denggao waved his hand. In fact, he didn't want to have much to do with this guy who was on the list of villains in the Southern Region, so he just kept a cold voice, packed his things, and turned around to leave.
The Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce still wanted to establish a foothold in Guanyun City. If today's incident spread, there might be a lot of trouble. Bu Denggao didn't want to cause trouble, so he left directly.
"Bu Lao, wait a minute!"
Just when Bu Denggao was about to open the door, Xu Chen's voice suddenly came from behind him, causing his feet to freeze, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes.
It seems that Bu Denggao also knows something about these evil people in the southern region. For people like Xu Chen, things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges to retaliate for kindness is simply commonplace.
He thought that Xu Chen's poison had been cured, and thought it would cost too much, so he wanted to turn his back on him. However, Bu Denggao was a fourth-grade immortal, so he would not be afraid of Xu Chen, a third-grade immortal.
"Bu Lao, don't misunderstand me, Xu has no such intention!"
Xu Chen has been walking on the tip of a knife for many years and is used to seeing such eyes, so he directly waved his hand and denied it. Of course, the biggest reason was just because the other party was a fourth-grade immortal.
If the other party was only a third-level immortal, or a lower level of cultivation, Xu Chen might not be so polite. He stopped Bu Denggao at this moment because he actually wanted to ask something.
"Bu Lao, I heard that there will be a vein of Immortal Crystal at tomorrow's auction. Is it true?"
Seeing that Bu Denggao was a little impatient, Xu Chen didn't say any more nonsense. After the question was asked, Bu Denggao's face changed slightly. In fact, there was no need for the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce's chief pulse refiner to answer directly.
"Is it true? You can find out if you go and see it yourself tomorrow?"
Bu Denggao straightened his face, and indeed did not answer directly. He replied with a hint, then turned around and walked out of the room without saying more.
"It seems to be true, but why would the Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce be willing to put it up for auction with such news? Is it because they are afraid that the veins will be hot to the touch?"
Xu Chen's thoughts were spinning in his mind. Although he was sure that the news was true, he felt that it was extremely unreasonable.
You must know that a vein of Immortal Crystal, even the smallest vein of Immortal Crystal, will attract many parties to compete for it.
Even sects like the three top forces would not be indifferent to a vein of Immortal Crystal.
Although Immortal Crystal does not have much effect on the powerful God Emperor, it is still very useful for cultivating disciples.
There is even a legend that the reason why the Zhaixing Tower and the Moon God Palace became enemies was because they were competing for a vein of Immortal Crystal. However, everyone only knew a little about these top forces.
In short, things like the Immortal Crystal Mine are definitely not something that can be taken lightly in the Liyuan Realm. Once those big sects and families know about it, I am afraid it will cause a huge bloody storm.
In Xu Chen's view, if Xuanyun Chamber of Commerce gets such news, even if he can't afford it, selling it to some big forces will be much more cost-effective than getting a small Guanyun City to auction it.
"Will that guy come this time too?"
While Xu Chen was puzzled, a figure in rough clothes flashed across his mind, making his expression look a little ferocious.
Because Xu Chen lost half of his fortune this time, all thanks to that rough-clothed boy. If he could see him again, he would definitely take revenge.
"Um?"
Just when Xu Chen was talking about Yun Xiao, he suddenly found that the aura in his body had a strange fluctuation, which made him surprised at first and happy at the same time.
"Haha, God is really helping me!"
When he sensed that aura was rushing in, even hitting a certain barrier, Xu Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly thinking that the breakthrough opportunity he had been waiting for for many years had arrived so suddenly.
As Xu Chen sat cross-legged, the figure of Yun Xiao appeared in his mind again, and he secretly thought that the opportunity for him to break through to the fourth-level Immortal Lord was related to the poison cast by that boy, right?
If this is the case, then he probably has to thank Yunxiao for it.
But there was a fierce glint in his eyes, and he made up his mind that if he could succeed this time, he would definitely "thank" the boy in rough clothes.
