As if Yin Meiru couldn't stand Zhan Chen's intense gaze, she subconsciously lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him.
As the saying goes, bystanders are wise. Seeing this scene, Zhou Ziru on the side immediately knew that Yin Meiru was still interested in Zhan Chen, and a strong jealousy rushed to his forehead: If Zhan Chen doesn't die, Meiru's affection for him will never be extinguished, and
I will never be able to enter her heart
Now, Zhan Chen was seriously injured, and it was the best time to kill him. Thinking of this, Zhou Ziru's eyes flashed with a sharp look, suddenly he suddenly violently hit Zhan Chen, and shouted: Zhan Chen, go to hell.
Yin Meiru was not prepared for Zhou Zirulai's move. When she saw that Zhan Chen was in danger, her heart tightened and she shouted urgently: Leng Wuxin, stop it
Zhou Ziru was forced to stop after she drank like this.
If you don't want me to step back, Yin Meiru ordered.
However, Zhou Ziru's feet seemed to have roots, not moving at all, and still staring at Zhan Chen closely.
Don't you even listen to my orders?
Only then did Zhou Ziru have to turn around and return to Yin Meiru.
At this time, Zhan Chen was filled with emotion. Why had the old brotherhood become so fragile? If Yin Meiru hadn't stopped Zhou Ziru in time, he might have ended up here today.
From this point of view, I am afraid that brother Zhou Ziru is really hopeless. Now he wants to kill me, but Meier may still have feelings for me. I really hurt her too deeply, otherwise why would Zhan Chen silently think about it this time?
.
Zhan Chen, with your current strength, if I kill you, it will be as easy as squeezing an ant to death. It will not arouse my interest at all. Today, I will spare your life, okay.
Go back and improve your strength. When you feel you are strong enough, come to Black Ye City to find me. At that time, I will also let you know what despair means. Yin Mei said with a smug smile.
Then she turned around again and said: Leng Wuxinhen'er, let's go
So the three of them got into the carriage and drove away, leaving a very injured Zhan Chen in the wilderness.
In the car, Yin Hen took a careful look at Yin Meiru, whose expression had been changing since she got in the car, and asked: Mom, looking like this, you seem to love your father very much.
Yin Meiru turned her head to one side and said to cover up: Nonsense, I hate him and want to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yin Hen's eyes, and he said: Mom, I don't care whether Zhan Chen is my father or not. If he makes you feel any grievance, don't do anything, I will kill him myself.
Yin Meiru was shocked when she heard her son's remarks and shouted: Hen'er, you can't do anything to him. He is your father after all. The grudges between our seniors are over, do you understand?
Yin Hen hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Looking at the carriage going away, Zhan Chen wanted to catch up again. Unfortunately, he was powerless. At this time, recalling what Yin Meiru said to him before leaving, he felt even more painful.
Yes, even though he tried hard to catch up, he still couldn't bridge the gap in strength with Yin Meiru. He was too weak to keep his wife and son.
Yin Meiru, just wait, I will catch up with you. Zhan Chen, who stood in front of you again as soon as possible, was so excited that he looked up to the sky and roared.
However, after the passion passed, he fell into deep thinking again, how could he find a way to become stronger quickly?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he recalled that when he met Ouyang Zhongtian, Ouyang Zhongtian once wanted to recruit him.
Yes, I can go to Ouyang Zhongtian and work under him temporarily. In this way, the problem of cultivation is solved, and the matter of elixirs is also solved. I can also compete with many masters in martial arts. Where else is the cultivation environment?
It will be better than the city lord's palace in Zhongyu City, Zhan Chen thought to himself.
Originally, he didn't like to rely on such heroes, but the situation is different now. He is eager to improve his strength. He is thinking about going to Black Ye City to meet his Yin Meiru and Yin Hen, and he no longer cares about these many things.
Three days later, Zhan Chen appeared in front of Ouyang Zhongtian again. Ouyang Zhongtian glanced at him who was standing respectfully below, with a smile on his face and asked: Xu Shan, you appeared in front of me again today,
Have you thought about that matter?
Zhan Chen bowed down and replied: Xu Shan is willing to serve the city lord.
Hahaha, good Ouyang Zhongtian laughed, stood up, walked down the high platform, came to his side and helped him up personally, and said: Xu Shan, from now on, you are the owner of my Zhongyu City City Lord's Mansion.
The first alchemist
Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment and then said to him: Lord City Lord, I have an unkind favor.
Oh, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can do my best, I will try my best to satisfy you.
Thank you, City Lord. What I would like to discuss with you is that thirty years is too long to serve you.
Oh, Ouyang Zhongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: How many years do you want?
I think twenty years.
He has his own considerations. Based on the training conditions of the City Lord's Mansion, it is estimated that as long as he is given another twenty years, he will be sure to break through to the intermediate level of Martial Saint. Waiting for another ten years will undoubtedly be a long time for him who is eager to see his relatives again.
A long ordeal.
Xu Shan, you are the first person I have seen who dares to bargain with Ouyang Zhongtian.
Zhan Chen said bravely: I am also willing to serve City Lord Ouyang for a few more years, but I have an agreement with him.
Ouyang Zhongtian was silent.
Zhan Chen continued: City Lord, as a condition, I will double my service to you and refine more elixirs for you in these twenty years.
Okay, the deal is done. As long as you can refine five eighth-grade and nine-turn golden elixirs for me in one month, I will promise you. But the ugly words are ahead. If you can't do it in one month, you will have to work for me even more.
Thirty years, that is, fifty years, City Lord Ouyang said with a smile.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking: Five eighth-grade and nine-turn golden elixirs, what a huge appetite for alchemy, and the failure rate must be included in the alchemy. Maybe for other alchemists, they have to operate at full capacity almost every day, Ouyang Zhong
God is trying to squeeze out all my value. But what he doesn’t know is that I have the help of the Nine-turn Flame Phoenix Furnace.
Ouyang Zhongtian asked again: How can it be done?
Zhan Chen pretended to be in a dilemma, but finally gritted his teeth and said: OK, I'll give it a try.
Ouyang Zhongtian smiled and said: Okay, Xu Shan, we will sign a document right away. You can go to the treasury to get the elixir prescriptions and elixirs needed for elixirs every month, and they will be submitted for inspection at the end of each month.
Don't worry, if you work under me, I will give you the best treatment, the best training room, and a monthly salary of 200,000 top-grade Yuanshi. What do you think?
200,000 top grade Yuanshi per month, which is 2.4 million per year, so twenty years will be 48 million. After twenty years, wouldn’t I have become a millionaire? Zhan Chen was stunned by this number.
He quickly raised his hands cheerfully and replied: I am willing to do my best for the city lord.
Zhan Chen, if you work in my hands for one more year, you can earn millions of yuan more stones. You have to think carefully. If you serve me for more than ten years, you only need to refine three eighth-grade stones every month.
The nine-turn elixir was enough, and the salary was still two hundred thousand per month. Ouyang Zhongtian did not forget to persuade him again.
Zhan Chen was indeed moved. However, he only wanted to break through to the intermediate level of Martial Saint, so he was not moved by it. He said again firmly: Just twenty years.
That's okay. Ouyang Zhongtian turned his head and said to Cheng Manxue beside him: Manxue, help me get a contract.
It was Sister-in-law Xue who turned around and went down.
Ouyang Zhongtian took this opportunity and asked again: Xu Shan, can you refine the eighth-grade intermediate elixir?
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment and then replied: Barely okay.
That's great, Ouyang Zhongtian said happily, the price of the eighth-grade intermediate elixir is ten times that of the eighth-grade elementary elixir.
At this time, Cheng Saoxue came back with an agreement. Zhan Chen and Ouyang Zhongtian signed the agreement immediately, and his life of cultivation in the city lord's mansion officially began.
Ouyang Zhongtian said to Cheng Manxue: Manxue, take Xu Shan down and choose the best house. Remember, from today on, Xu Shan will be the number one alchemist in our city lord's mansion.
Following the order, Cheng Manxue took Zhan Chen down, left the central palace, and came to a villa area. After choosing one of the villas, she handed the jade sign used to open the door to Zhan Chen and said: Xu Shan, this will be yours from now on.
Now that you have a place to stay, I will arrange a few servants for you to take care of. They will arrive tomorrow.
If you want to get elixirs and elixirs, the treasury is next to the treasury of the Central Palace. If you want to withdraw your salary, come to the Governor's Mansion directly.
Manager Xie Cheng said with Zhan Chen cupping his hands.
I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. You can take a look at the residence. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just come to see me at the General Manager's Mansion. After Cheng Manxue said this, she turned and left.
After she walked away, Zhan Chen entered his new home. The villa had three floors and all facilities were available. There were four large spirit gathering arrays in the training room.
Moreover, before these spiritual arrays were activated, Zhan Chen discovered that the practice room was filled with spiritual energy. After a closer look, he discovered that there was a passage sealed with a metal mesh on the ground, from which streams of spiritual energy emerged.
Master, there must be a spiritual spring nearby, and it's not very small. The spiritual energy is drawn from the underground. Then the frightened boy, who has always been extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, explained.
Great, by practicing here, and with the eighth-grade elixir, my cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. It will not be difficult to break through to the intermediate level of Martial Saint by then. Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and I am very excited about my future cultivation.
Life is also full of confidence
He acted quickly and immediately placed top-quality essence stones on the large spirit gathering array. The spirit gathering array began to operate, and the spiritual energy in the training room doubled in intensity, turning into bursts of spiritual rain, even covering his clothes.
Got wet.
So, Zhan Chen couldn't wait to sit on the futon and start practicing. Almost as soon as the traces of spiritual energy entered his body, they were integrated into his true essence and became part of his strength.
Zhan Chen felt like he was soaking in the hot spring, and his whole body was warm. After one night, he could even feel that his cultivation had improved a little, and he was even more happy.
At this time, it was already bright outside the window. Zhan Chen stood up and walked out of the practice room. Today he finally had to go to the treasury to collect the elixir to complete the alchemy task assigned to him by Ouyang Zhongtian.
