"However, this time Li Yang was able to successfully suppress the chaos of Li Gong and avoid disaster. His contribution was very great." Of course, Wu Yan could not criticize his sister for his negligence. He lowered his head and shook the tea cup in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Chao.
cf.
"Roading the cage carts to the Chaos Ruins is indeed a bold and fearless move. I also agree with Chao Weng. But to support the pioneers' elixir supply by myself... I am not familiar with village affairs.
Can anyone do that? I hope Chao Weng can teach me."
"I have heard about this matter. Except for the dust-cleansing water, which is a little troublesome, the others are just ordinary elixirs that are easy to refine. Of course, the quantity is indeed... Apart from me, there are probably more Liyang City can do
Two or three people?" When asked about the business, Chao Shen also calmed down his anger a little. "But if we move the medicine refining site from our own workshop to Chaos Xu, then I am probably the only one who can do it.
"
"Huh?" Wu Yan blinked his right eye in shock. Although she roughly guessed that Gu Chen's strength was by no means a quasi-made one, she didn't expect it to be comparable to a good one.
"It has nothing to do with cultivation, the key is character... no, it's courage, right?" Chao Shen shook his head to deny Wu Yan's conjecture.
After all, no matter where they are in the kingdom, Fangshi has always been regarded as a valuable talent related to the people's livelihood and the country and is carefully protected. Let alone setting foot in Chaos Ruins, even stepping out of the city wall is an extremely rare experience for them, and they are fearless
, bravery, etc. are words that have absolutely no connection with Fangshi.
No matter how neatly the master can do it in his own workshop, once he moves to the Chaos Ruins of the Wild Freak Palace, the atmosphere alone will be enough to scare him to the point of peeing, making him unable to move, and even ordinary elixirs will become inoperable.
Refining. Because Chao Shen had the experience of setting foot in the wilderness when he was young, this conclusion is quite convincing.
In this regard, the master of Gewufang can be said to be a rare brave master among the masters. Regardless of his level of cultivation, just the fact that he opened a cage car shop next to Chaos Ruins is enough to look down upon the fangshe. Of course, for those who have never been
For those monks who regard bravery as a virtue, the actions of the master of Gokumono cannot arouse their admiration.
"In other words, his strength is actually not a big deal?" Wu Yan listened and sorted out his thoughts.
"It's very easy to refine ordinary elixirs such as Xiaoyu Shui. It's hard to talk about strength, but..." Chao Shen frowned slightly. Although he was not willing to admit what he said next, his own likes and dislikes affected the fairness of the evaluation.
This kind of thing has never happened to the old supervisor.
"That kid is talented."
"Talented?" Wu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"...Some nefarious people sent some elixirs to Xinhefang a while ago, such as Xiaohe Shui and Cleansing Water. I have never seen the elixir inscriptions, so I took a look at it out of curiosity." Chao Shen
He said with a sigh. "The magic contained in those elixirs
Lingfan is particularly rich, and it is no more frightening than Xinhefang's. But on the contrary, some basic details of the elixir are not dealt with at all, and the method of processing the materials is rougher than that of the apprentice. It is like using brute force to force the Lingfan
Pulled out."
"Does this mean he has talent?" Wu Yan was confused.
"This shows that he didn't learn from his master! The method of refining the elixir was all made by himself! It's simply unreasonable!" The old supervisor used three exclamation points in a row and slammed the coffee table as if he was angry.
"...Chao Weng, please calm down. Don't get angry because of me." Wu Yan comforted the old supervisor with a wry smile and served Chao Shen tea. After another long while, he asked the question in his heart. "But Chao Weng, creation
Aren’t the seals inherited from master and disciple? If he didn’t have a master, where did he get the Brahma seal?”
"The vast tide of spiritual Brahma is ever-changing. Occasionally, there will be guys like this who suddenly awaken to the Brahma Seal one day, but it's not a big deal." Chao Shen waved his hand and explained.
After all, the Brahma Seal is just a tool in the final analysis. For example, a layman cannot carve anything even with a carving knife. The knowledge and techniques required to use the Brahma Seal can only be learned by following the master for many years. Those
Most of the lucky people who accidentally get the Sanskrit Seal lack these, so at best they can become relatively dexterous handymen, and rarely have the chance to embark on the path of an orthodox master.
As for someone like Gu Chen, who relied on his talent for purifying eyes to cultivate and realize himself to the extent of refining dust-cleansing water, he was absolutely unique. No matter how unhappy Chao Shen was with his rudeness, he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"In this case, there is a reason for him to be so bold."
Wu Yan nodded in agreement. It sounded from Chao Shen's tone that although he was really angry when he was rude to the younger generation, he didn't seem to completely lack appreciation for Gu Chen, who was self-taught. To confirm this, Wu Yan asked again.
"Then Chao Weng, do you think he is worthy of use?"
"Well, it's not all his fault that he turned into a rude person due to lack of discipline from the master..." Chao Shen pondered. The anger he had accumulated at the beginning had dissipated at this moment. The old supervisor looked over there.
The rising smoke gives a more pertinent evaluation in a moment.
"Forget it. For Master Fang, being knowledgeable and courteous is not a necessary quality. At least his talent is worth cultivating. If you, the city lord, want to promote him, I probably won't object."

The structure of Liyang City is divided into "outer city" and "inner city". The outer city is the residence of ordinary people, while the inner city is the residence of lords and their retainers. This can be roughly seen from the architectural style of the inner and outer cities.
The difference in status and financial resources between the two parties.
The most obvious thing is that the outer city is mostly made of cheap and quick-made wooden buildings, while the inner city is mostly made of stone buildings that are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Many wooden buildings are pieced together to create the lively and noisy atmosphere of the outer city, while the square stone buildings of the inner city are
The buildings make the streets appear
It is exceptionally neat and tidy. Green leafy plants from Southern Barbarians are planted everywhere on the neat streets. Occasionally, you can see facilities such as fountains and windmills driven by Yunqi mechanisms. When Gu Chen stepped into the inner city, he felt like he had come to a high-end residence on earth.
The illusion of community.
Gu Chen has lived in Liyang City for several months since he traveled through the Yellow River, but his living circle is basically around the business building. This is the first time he has stepped into the inner city like this. For travelers from a prosperous city, the inner city
The neat scenery did not amaze him, but Gu Chen was still surprised by the completely different style of the inner city and the outer city.
Excluding the floating population, Liyang City has approximately 200,000 residents. If we take ancient China as a reference, the size of Liyang City can basically be called the capital of a country.
The residents of the inner city account for about 10% of the 200,000 residents. The residents of the inner city are mainly the Wu clan who rules Liyang and the retainers loyal to the Wu clan. In addition, there are also servants and craftsmen employed by the Wu mansion and retainers' mansions. The soldiers are Cao
From the Secretary to the Nongsang Division to the Fangzhi Division, the important officials of each government department are all the Wu family retainers, so the inner city can be regarded as a gathering place for Li Yang's civil and military elites.
In order to maintain order and public security, in principle, people in the outer city are not allowed to set foot in the inner city, unless there is an emergency such as a monster destroying the city. If they are attacked by a powerful group of monsters and the outer city wall of Liyang is breached, then the inner city will be destroyed.
It must function as a refuge fortress to allow the people of Liyang to take refuge in the city.
Due to this consideration, the inner city has left considerable margins in various planning, and even has facilities such as training dormitories and collective dining halls, which made Gu Chen, who had lived in a narrow attic for several weeks, envious.
Just as Gu Chen was looking around enthusiastically, the cage car he was riding in slowly slowed down.
"Sir, the city lord's mansion is ahead."
The waiter sent to greet him reported respectfully.
