In the galloping horse plain, the wind blows and the grass moves. Chen Zong walks quickly as if he is riding on the wind, and his figure flashes through the grass.
With 1.6 million banknotes in his arms, some pill pills on his back, and the False Frost Sword, he quickly headed towards Fengwucheng.
Because the journey has to pass through Jizu River and Heifeng Mountain, etc., it is not suitable for riding a horse, so you can only rely on your legs. Fortunately, with the essence of the Wind Step, Chen Zong can go very fast.
After running through Benmayuan, they crossed the Jisu River, which was easier than when they came. The monsters in the river could not pose any threat to Chen Zong at all. After that, they crossed Heifeng Mountain and returned to Fengwu City.
It happened to be the evening of the next day.
Qiyao Martial Arts Academy has regulations. Except for accepting tasks, martial arts disciples are not allowed to leave without permission. They have to ask for leave, which can last up to one month. Under normal circumstances, no one will ask for leave, because time is precious, and sometimes a day's difference can mean a huge gap in the future.
will be bigger.
Chen Zong asked for leave from Bai Yushan, the chief senior brother, for a full month. This does not mean that it will take that long for him to return to Qiyao Martial Academy. He just wants to be prepared.
I originally thought that Bai Yushan would make things difficult for me, but unexpectedly it went smoothly.
There is a kind of tranquility in Fengwu City under the sunset.
Chen Zong went directly to Dingtian Pavilion.
"Master Chen." The maid recognized Chen Zong last time and was very respectful.
"Is Deacon Qian here?" Chen Zong asked.
"Here, Mr. Chen, wait a moment." The maid replied quickly.
"Master Chen, long time no see." Qian Huan came over with a smile, like a big meat ball, his narrowed eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he was very surprised to see that Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi and Blood Realm.
"Deacon Qian, to make a long story short, how much do you think this sword is worth?" Chen Zong simply handed over the sword in his hand.
Qian Huan took it and pulled it out, feeling as if a ball of frost had passed over him, sending a chill all over his body.
"What a sword!" Qian Huan exclaimed: "This is the top-notch precious iron sword, worth three hundred thousand white jade coins."
"I can't help but see that this sword is an imitation of the famous sword Shuangliu." Chen Zong said.
"Fake Frost Sword!" Qian Huan was shocked. After careful study for a moment, he realized that Chen Zong was not lying: "The value will indeed be higher. If you meet someone you like, it is not difficult to sell it for 400,000 white jade coins. Does Mr. Chen want to sell it?
I, Dingtian Pavilion, can give you 350,000 white jade coins."
"No rush, I want the seven-leaf blood lotus. When can I get it?" Chen Zong took the sword back and changed the subject.
"Seven-leaf blood lotus!" Qian Huan was shocked when he heard this.
"Last time, Deacon Qian said that the Seven-leaf Blood Lotus was worth two million white jade coins. I have the White Cauldron Token and I can give it a 10% discount, which is 1.8 million white jade coins." As he said that, Chen Zong took out the White Cauldron Token and the 1.6 million white jade coins.
He raised the money ticket and raised the fake frost sword in his hand: "Deacon Qian offered 350,000 yuan for this sword, which is enough to pay for it."
"Young Master Chen is indeed extraordinary." Qian Huan's eyes twitched, his small eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "I will have the Seven-leaf Blood Lotus sent from the Dingtian Pavilion in the main city of Jiwu. The fastest
It takes three days.”
"Three days, okay, I will come back in three days." Chen Zong nodded: "Farewell."
"Let's go slowly." Qian Huan sent Chen Zong out, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. Chen Zong's cultivation level improved very quickly, indicating that he had high potential. He was a little mistaken last time, and the conditions he offered were not satisfactory to the other party.
Satisfied, now it’s probably not that easy to recruit someone else.
Qian Huan also has his own concerns. It is not impossible to offer too good conditions, but he must also bear the corresponding risks. After all, he is just the deacon of the Fengwucheng branch and does not have much rights. His motto in life is to seek
Stable, no desperate determination.
"Go back to the Clan Hall first and investigate the details of the Xiaoyu Gang." Chen Zong said to himself.
On that day, he was chased by two men in black and escaped into Black Bee Mountain. He survived with his own abilities and some luck. Taking all aspects into account, the mastermind was most likely the leader of the Xiaoyu Gang. Chen Zong will naturally have to settle this debt.
clear.
However, it is definitely not that simple for the Xiaoyu Gang to have been able to establish a foothold in Fengwucheng for more than ten years. With one person and only one sword, breaking in now is probably the same as sending fat to the wolf's mouth. Even if the leader of the Xiaoyu Gang is afraid of Chen Chen,
As the son of the family dare not take action directly, it will definitely arouse vigilance, and he will inevitably make preparations, which will be even more difficult to deal with.
If the investigation is conducted secretly, it will not arouse the other party's suspicion, and it may be more convenient to settle accounts in the future.
Stepping into the clan hall, he attracted a lot of attention. Chen Zong went to the main headquarters area first. The person sitting in the main hall was Elder Xing.
"Chen Zong, why are you back?" Elder Xing was startled at first, and then was shocked.
"I have something to do, so I asked for leave and came back." Chen Zong responded after saluting.
"Has your cultivation level reached the seventh level of the Qi and Blood Realm?" Elder Xing, as a master of the Strength Training Realm, could tell Chen Zong's cultivation level at a glance, but his tone was uncertain. After all, Chen Zong's cultivation level was at the beginning.
At the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm, it has been less than two months. This improvement is quite astonishing. Chen Zong nodded.
"Okay, okay." Elder Xing laughed endlessly: "Your decision to enter Qiyao Martial Academy in advance is indeed correct."
Elder Xing then asked about Chen Zong's situation in Qiyao Martial Academy and the situation of other disciples. Chen Zong took the opportunity to ask his own question, which was about the details of the Xiaoyu Gang.
"Why do you ask this so suddenly?" Elder Xing was confused, and then he raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Did the Xiaoyu Gang provoke you?"
Seeing Elder Xing's behavior, Chen Zong recounted what happened when he left Fengwucheng that day and his speculations.
"What!" Elder Xing was furious, his terrifying aura swept away, and the chair he sat on shattered into pieces: "Someone from the Xiaoyu Gang deliberately targeted you during the battle between heroes that day, and has been punished. Xu Mingzhi still dared to do this and dig his own grave.
Come on, follow me to Xiaoyu Gang and uproot you."
"Elder Xing, wait." Chen Zong spoke quickly. Elder Xing's reaction was a bit unexpected: "Although I am sure that it is most likely the mastermind of the Xiaoyu Gang. I really want to solve it now, but I want to deal with it myself.
, just regard it as a test for myself and an obstacle on the road of cultivation."
"Since you want to do this, I have no objection." Elder Xing pondered for a while and then nodded: "However, unless your cultivation level reaches the level of strength training, you must inform me if you want to go to the Xiaoyu Gang."
"Okay." Chen Zong did not refuse Elder Xing's kindness.
Then, Elder Xing told Chen Zong all the information he knew about the Xiaoyu Gang, so that Chen Zong could have a deep understanding of the Xiaoyu Gang.
Later, I met Elder Wei and Elder Li, who also knew about the matter. Elder Wei agreed with Chen Zong's idea and hoped that Chen Zong would handle it personally.
As for what Chen Zong was doing when he came back, they just asked if he needed help. After receiving the answer that he didn't need help, they didn't get to the bottom of it.
I also paid a visit to Elder Lie and visited Chen Yiming.
After Chen Yiming's blood energy was tempered four times, he broke through and became a warrior. Now he is at the fourth level of the energy and blood realm. Chen Zong gave him twenty beast blood pills, ten red blood pills and two large red blood pills.
To a certain extent, speed up Chen Yiming’s cultivation.
Chen Fenghua, Chen Guzhan, Chen Zhigang, Chen Yidao, Chen Yuyao and others, Chen Zong also saw that their cultivation levels had reached the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm, but the gap between them and Chen Zong was even greater.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Chen Zong left the clan hall and headed to Dingtian Pavilion.
"Master Chen, the seven-leaf blood lotus has been delivered." Qian Huan welcomed Chen Zong into the secret room and said with a smile. He saw a red jade box placed on the table in the secret room: "Please take a look."
As he said that, Qian Huan opened the red jade box with his chubby hands, and Chen Zong's eyes were immediately attracted, feeling amazed.
A blood-red lotus bloomed quietly inside, about the size of a child's palm, with a total of seven leaves. Each leaf was crystal clear, as if carved from red crystal. It was beautiful and covered with countless lines.
Like blood vessels, there seems to be a trace of liquid flowing slowly, making this seven-leaf blood lotus look more agile and delicate.
This is nature's work of art.
"Seven-leaf blood lotus must be stored in a jade box to ensure that the medicinal properties are not lost, but remember that the storage time under normal circumstances cannot exceed one year. When taking it, take it at noon, one tablet a day, chew it and swallow it, it needs to be circulated
The exercises dissolve and absorb." Qian Huan said seriously with small eyes.
"Thank you, Steward Qian." Chen Zong said gratefully, took out the 1.6 million yuan in notes and the Baiding Order, and then placed the Fake Frost Sword in his hand on the table.
"Master Chen must like this sword very much," Qian Huan said with a smile.
"Yes." Chen Zong did not deny it.
"A gentleman does not take away someone's love." Qian Huan smiled and said: "Young Master Chen, keep this sword for yourself. The remaining two hundred thousand white jade coins can be credited to Dingtian Pavilion, but it will be with interest."
"Credit?" Chen Zong was surprised when he heard this.
"Haha, of course ordinary people can't do it, but Mr. Chen, you have the Baiding Order and are very talented. You have this qualification. It just so happens that I also have this right." Qian Huan said with a smile: "Credit is divided into three levels, and the interest is within one year.
10%, 20% interest within two years, 30% interest within three years.”
It sounds like this is a very high interest rate. After all, the 200,000 white jade money cannot be used on credit for more than one year, and the 220,000 white jade money will have to be repaid by then.
But compared to selling the fake Frost Sword, Chen Zong can accept it.
"Within a year." Chen Zong did not hesitate.
"Even if Mr. Chen pays the debt tomorrow, it will still be calculated within one year." Qian Huan explained, so as not to leave any displeasure in Chen Zong's heart: "Young Master Chen, it's not that I don't want to give you face, I'm just the deacon of Dingtian Pavilion.
To use this right, you have to bear certain risks. To put it bluntly, if something happens to Mr. Chen before he can pay it back in a hurry, the money will fall on me."
"Okay." Chen Zong nodded. Dingtian Pavilion has the rules of Dingtian Pavilion. No matter what, since you choose, you must shoulder the responsibility, otherwise you will not choose.
After taking back the White Cauldron Order, Chen Zong closed the jade box, stuffed it into the bag, and picked up the Fake Frost Sword.
"Deacon Qian, take your leave." Chen Zong clasped his fists.
"Well done, Mr. Chen." Qian Huan sent Chen Zong out of Dingtian Pavilion with a smile, watching Chen Zong's back with his small eyes: "If I had a darker heart, I could earn another 1.8 million, but it's a pity that although I love
You want money, but don’t do anything that goes against your conscience.”
Riding on his horse, Chen Zong left the city and headed for Xiaohu Town, feeling like he was returning home.
