Luo Tianxian took a comfortable bath to wash away the travel dust.
These past twenty days.
Luo Tian was half traveling, half on the road, and his cultivation had not fallen behind.
Although there is no cultivation environment like the Holy Palace, the top-grade Qi Refining Pills and Qi Accumulating Pills obtained from the Du family and the Qi family can refine and strengthen the true energy and improve the cultivation level.
The piece of Linggui Jade given by the Qi family as an apology can also slightly increase the speed of cultivation.
now.
Luo Tian's eighth energy channel has been opened up by 80%, and he is not far away from opening the ninth level of energy channel.
Dacheng's "Yunyoubu" and "Tianxing Sword Technique" have both been consolidated and improved.
Compared to killing Patriarch Du.
Although Luo Tian's strength has not improved significantly, it has steadily improved.
"Mr. Luo, the master invites you to a dinner."
In the evening, a servant knocked on the door and came in.
"good."
Luo Tian nodded.
He came to the royal capital this time mainly at the invitation of the eldest princess.
The matter at Dongchuan Pharmacy was entrusted by the instructor and cannot be ignored.
After a while.
Luo Tian came to the Lin family's dinner party.
The boss, Lin Dongchuan, sat in the top position.
Two sons, Lin Sheng and Lin Kai, were nearby.
There is also a pure and bright girl in Qing Shang, with a tall figure, white and delicate skin, and bright and flawless eyes, like crystals.
Luo Tiandu's eyes lit up with this girl's pure and beautiful appearance.
"This is the little girl Lin Yihan, who comes from Yuntian Holy Palace, one of the three holy palaces."
Lin Dongfeng introduced him with a smile, showing a trace of undisguised pride and arrogance.
His little daughter is impeccable in terms of talent, temperament, and beauty.
"I've met my senior brother."
Lin Yihan showed her shallow dimples, she is pure and beautiful.
Her bright eyes flashed and she looked at Luo Tian, revealing a hint of unconfirmed surprise and doubt.
Except Lin Dongfeng’s two sons and one daughter.
At the banquet.
There are also several senior managers of the pharmacy, including some guest warriors.
"This is my nephew."
After Luo Tian came in, Lin Dongchuan only gave a brief introduction.
In Lin Dongchuan's view, Luo Tian, an eighth-level Holy Palace student who opened his veins, was only as strong as his daughter.
Inviting him over was for the sake of his brother Lin Dongchuan.
"The purpose of inviting everyone to this dinner is to cope with the upcoming crisis of 'Dongchuan Pharmacy'..."
Lin Dongfeng looked solemn.
At the dinner, a heated discussion soon broke out.
"Dongchuan Pharmacy is my father's hard work. It has finally reached the scale it is today. We can never let the 'Tenglong Medicine Pavilion' succeed. We can still spend a lot of money to invite experts."
The eldest son Lin Shengdao.
"It can't be that easy! The medicine shop's goods have been robbed several times, coupled with the "Tenglong Medicine Pavilion"'s suppression of our prices, the accounting office cannot make ends meet and can barely survive."
A steward said bitterly.
"Father, the reason why Tenglong Medicine Pavilion is so strong is simply because of its background as a princely family. Our Dongchuan Medicine House can also cooperate with the big forces in the royal capital."
The second son Lin Kai suggested.
"No! Seeking refuge in other aristocratic families is like inviting a wolf into the house. Sooner or later, you will be swallowed up and become someone else's wedding dress."
Lin Dongfeng said sharply.
Luo Tian did not participate in the discussion.
While eating and drinking, he listened to the Lin family's heated argument.
Not long after.
Luo Tian had a general understanding of the "trouble" of Lin Dongchuan's family.
First thing.
The scale of Dongchuan Pharmacy is much larger than Luo Tian imagined. It ranks among the top ten in the same industry in the capital. It is not a small business as Lin Dongfeng said.
Of course, Lin Dongfeng cannot be blamed for this.
Dongchuan Pharmacy has only gradually expanded to this scale in recent years. Lin Dongfeng has not been to the royal capital for several years.
As the business grew, Dongchuan Pharmacy attracted covetous attention from its peers.
Some time ago.
The medicine shop has been repeatedly harassed, smashed, and extorted by some local gangsters and bullies, many of whom are masters of the seventh level of pulse opening and above.
This has caused a decline in the pharmacy's business.
Until the past few days.
The enemy lurking in the darkness finally emerged from the water.
"Tenglong Medicine Pavilion", one of the top five companies in the royal capital, proposed to acquire Dongchuan Medicine Pavilion.
The purchase price is less than one-third of the market price.
Dongchuan Medicine Pavilion naturally refused.
Later.
Tenglong Pharmacy suppresses and coerces Dongchuan Pharmacy by competing for customers, colluding with thieves to rob goods, and lowering prices.
Tenglong Medicine Pavilion is powerful and has a profound background.
It is said that the major shareholder behind it is the "Zheng family" of a princely family.
Although the Zheng family has declined in the past ten years, the prince who founded the princely family is still there.
This princely gentleman once fought on the battlefield and made great contributions. Even if he returned home due to illness, he still had great influence and connections in the royal capital.
"A princely family? A prince who retired due to illness?"
Luo Tian probably felt confident.
at the dinner party.
Lin Qinghan rarely speaks. As a daughter, she doesn't care about family business.
She had a pair of pure and beautiful eyes, looking at Luo Tian from time to time, her beautiful eyebrows lightly frowning, thinking for a moment.
Lin Qinghan originally suspected that Luo Tian was the genius who ranked among the top thirty on the list.
My father did not mention this senior brother's name. He only knew that his surname was Luo. Like the amazing genius on the Billboard, he also came from Zhusheng Palace.
Lin Qinghan asked sincerely.
But she has a daughter, so it's not easy for her to talk about it on such occasions.
And now at the dinner party.
Everyone else is participating in the discussion.
Only Luo Tian ate the delicacies with great gusto, his chopsticks never stopping, and he looked nonchalant about the Lin family's crisis.
"Maybe I made a mistake...
Lin Qinghan frowned slightly, how could that amazing prodigy on the moving list be so rustic and eat so much without etiquette?
By the end of the party.
People at the table rarely moved their chopsticks, and they were all discussing the crisis facing the "Tenglong Medicine Pavilion".
However.
Luo Tian ate almost half of the sumptuous food on the table.
This scene made the Lin family, father and son, frown and feel unhappy.
"Master Luo, you are a powerful foreign aid sent by my uncle. What do you think of the crisis in the 'Tenglong Medicine Pavilion'?"
The eldest son, Lin Sheng, asked with a hint of sarcasm.
He emphasized the word 'strong' quite strongly.
"I have no opinion, but I will follow my instructor's instructions and try my best to help."
Luo Tian said calmly.
No opinion?
Lin Dongchuan's two sons couldn't help but shake their heads with contempt.
This Luo Tian.
He obviously came to Lin's house to eat and drink, so he couldn't be expected to play any role.
"Brother is too unreliable!"
Lin Dongchuan was disappointed and complained in his heart that Lin Dongfeng sent someone who was too lazy to cook.
Fortunately, Lin Dongfeng mentioned it in the letter.
This student is amazing and has the intention of bringing Luo Tian and Lin Qinghan together.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lin Qinghan's bright eyes, and she was not interested in asking Luo Tian's specific name.
…
Early the next morning.
Luo Tian crossed his legs and practiced the "Returning to the Origin True Gong", and his mental method circulated for several days.
The third level of this skill has reached a small level of success and is approaching Dacheng.
An hour later.
Luo Tian found a flat piece of grass in the back garden of Lin's house and practiced sword and martial arts.
To avoid damage.
Luo Tian did not use his true energy, but simply practiced swordsmanship and understood the true meaning of swordsmanship with his heart. It seemed that his movements were slow and clumsy.
Lin Dongchuan, his father and his son, also came nearby.
Although the Lin family is mainly engaged in business and is not a martial arts family, they can also practice martial arts, strengthen their bodies, and enhance their self-protection capabilities.
Lin Dongchuan has the seventh-level cultivation of Kaimai, and his two sons also have the fifth- and sixth-level cultivation.
The one with the most amazing qualifications is Lin Yihan.
She is similar in age to Luo Tian, but she has the eighth level of cultivation of meridians, which is enough for Lin Dongchuan to feel confident.
"This kid's swordsmanship is like playing with a mallet."
The second son, Lin Kai, suppressed his laughter.
"be honest!"
Lin Dongchuan glared at his second son, although he also felt that Luo Tian's swordsmanship was weird and clumsy.
"Father."
A sound as clear as a bell sounded.
I saw Lin Qinghan walking over with a handsome man.
This man is wearing a pale gold robe, with a pattern of sky and clouds carved on his back, making him look majestic.
"Hey! A golden student from Yuntian Holy Palace?"
Lin Sheng and Lin Kai were a little surprised.
The three major holy palaces, under the students with the title of Tianjiao, are all classified into bronze, silver and gold.
Yuntian Holy Palace is the number one martial arts palace in Cangyun Kingdom.
The golden students of this Holy Palace are naturally no small matter.
"Uncle Lin, I am Gu Cheng, Qinghan's classmate. I heard that the Lin family is in some trouble, so I came here to help."
The handsome man smiled and volunteered.
"It turns out to be Senior Gu."
Lin Dongchuan smiled.
The father and son were overjoyed and greeted each other politely.
Gu Cheng's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the ninth level of opening the pulse, and he is also a golden student of Yuntian Holy Mansion.
Such strong support is a timely help for the Lin family.
In comparison.
Lin Dongchuan and his son glanced at Luo Tian, who was not far away. This kind of free eating and drinking was really annoying.
"Luo Tian, this is the golden senior from Yuntian Holy Mansion. If you don't understand anything about martial arts, you can ask for advice."
Lin Dongchuan thought for a moment and called Luo Tian over.
In any case, Luo Tian can be considered half of his nephew.
"No."
Luo Tian rejected Lin Dongchuan's kindness.
With his current strength, he can almost challenge the students of Sunrise. Asking a golden student for advice is simply a joke.
"Luo Tian?"
Gu Cheng sounded a bit familiar. He had heard this name somewhere.
"Master, something bad has happened! Someone is coming to cause trouble..."
A steward came over in a hurry.
Is there another trouble?
Lin Dongchuan's face darkened, and he led his children and several guest warriors to rush out.
"Don't worry, Xiang Han!"
Gu Cheng showed a confident smile.
"Thank you, Senior."
Lin Qinghan forced a smile,
This senior Gu Cheng has been pursuing her. Lin Qinghan doesn't like her, but she doesn't dislike him either.
What's more, Gu Cheng is a fellow disciple at this moment, and he comes to help with good intentions.
Not long after.
Everyone in the Lin family rushed to the medicine shop.
I saw dozens of scattered warriors, surrounding a stretcher, blocking the front of the medicine shop.
Lying on the stretcher was a dying middle-aged man. His face, chest and other parts were covered in purple and blue, and his face looked painful.
"The medicine from Dongchuan Pharmacy almost killed my brother!"
"Today, we are going to destroy this pharmacy!"
This group of scattered warriors all have sinister faces and are full of martial arts atmosphere.
Several warriors picked up sticks and started smashing them randomly.
"Ahh..."
Several of the guards of the Medicine Pavilion were beaten to death and were defeated on the spot.
"stop!"
Lin Dongchuan shouted angrily.
"That old guy is the boss of Dongchuan Medicine Pavilion!"
"Beat him and avenge your brother!"
At the call of a gutter-nosed warrior, the scattered warriors rushed over.
"No! Protect the head of the family quickly!"
Several guest warriors stepped forward to stop him.
But these seemingly ragtag groups of scattered warriors were mixed with four or five masters of the eighth or ninth level of opening pulses.
Ah! Click!
After a few confrontations, the guest warrior of the Lin family was beaten to fractures and even became disabled.
"Under the Emperor's feet, you bullies, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Gu Chengyi gave a sharp shout.
He was elated, and this was his chance to show off.
Dealing with a group of ruffians and bullies, he, a golden student, was not easy to catch.
Hu bang bang!
He turned into an afterimage and swept into the crowd, knocking down three or four warriors at once, including a warrior at the ninth level of opening the pulse.
"Haha, golden student?"
The gutter-nosed warrior smiled coldly.
Whoosh!
He suddenly exuded a powerful force, his arms spread out, and a green snake was carved on his arms.
"Half step to the spiritual sea realm!"
Gu Cheng's expression changed, and he felt a pressure even stronger than that of the golden boss of the Holy Palace.
"Green Snake Gang!"
Lin Dongchuan, father and son, turned pale and stared at the green snake pattern on the arm of the gutter-nosed warrior.
