Although he couldn't see the blue-haired woman's face, Chen Xuan could feel that she just grinned and looked very relaxed.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'm here to take away the things I took photos of, but..."
The blue-haired girl had crooked eyes and asked with a smile: "But what?"
"But I don't have any crystals."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Can I exchange it for something else?"
As he spoke, Chen Xuan took out a calligraphy and painting from the storage ring. This was the finest and most expensive calligraphy and painting he had ever saved, and it was even better than the one he gave to the city lord before.
Chen Xuandao: "This calligraphy and painting is worth about two million crystal stones. It is difficult to find the same level of cultivation on the market. I will use it to offset 1.5 million crystal stones. What?"
By doing this, Chen Xuan has now lost half a million yuan, but unexpectedly, the blue-haired girl smiled and shook her head.
Chen Xuan frowned: "Two million for 1.5 million, and you won't change it?"
The blue-haired girl smiled and said, "I only want crystal stones."
Chen Xuan took a deep breath. He could see that this blue-haired girl was clearly making things difficult for him.
As a businessman in an auction house, how can you not take advantage?
"OK."
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "You wait for me, I will buy it with the money in two hours."
The blue-haired girl shook her head and said: "If you want to buy it, just trade it in person. I won't sell it after two hours. This sword is my personal belongings and it does not violate the rules of the auction house."
When the blue-haired girl made things difficult for Chen Xuan, his voice suddenly became deeper: "What do you mean?
Just say it clearly."
The blue-haired girl stroked the frost sword and glanced at Chen Xuan, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "You have to tell me why you bought this sword."
Chen Xuan sounded the alarm in his heart. Could it be that this blue-haired girl knew that this sword could sense the soul of Suzaku?
But he said: "It's just personal preference."
The blue-haired girl shook her head: "What you said is so insincere. I won't sell the sword."
Chen Xuan felt that this woman was very extraordinary, but if he really asked himself to tell why he bought the sword, it would be absolutely impossible.
The power of the Suzaku is rare in the world, how could it be exposed for a sword? Immediately, Chen Xuan pulled out another painting and said: "This painting is worth about 700,000 crystal stones, which can be exchanged for the Spiritual Bone Pill."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuanfang put down his calligraphy and painting, grabbed the spirit bone pill and left.
The Spiritual Bone Pill is a treasure that is publicly auctioned by the auction house. After Chen Xuan bids for it, it is considered a purchase contract. The blue-haired girl cannot stop Chen Xuan's body. After leaving the auction house, Chen Xuan quickened his pace, wanting to get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
, he always felt that the mysterious blue-haired girl had another agenda.
On the way, he quietly changed into normal clothes. When he returned to his room, he found Chang Anzai sitting at the table waiting, with a bowl of steaming ginseng soup on the table.
At the same time, on the grass outside Chen Xuan's room, there was an ancient tree.
The crescent moon is crescent, and through the moonlight, you can vaguely see a blue-haired girl standing on the tree. She is the veiled woman from the Dragon Blood Tribe Auction House.
The blue-haired girl clearly saw the scene happening in the room at this time, and her eyes slowly filled with a layer of soft light.
"correct."
In the room, Chang An said to Chen Xuan: "Your Chinese Army and the others have something to ask you, and I almost forgot about it. Nan Nan can go over after taking a rest. I'll leave first."
"Okay, baby, take me out."
Chen Xuan sent Chang Anzai out of the door and glanced at the tree with emotion, but it was empty.
Later, he hurried to Zhongjun's room.
In Zhongjun's study, the family's warehouse steward, City Lord Lu and some staff officers were having a heated discussion.
Chen Xuan came in and found a seat to sit down and listen. Originally, there was no seat for Chen Xuan here, but because of Chen Xuan's special contribution to the city lord's palace, Chen Xuan was allowed to listen to some of the recent events in the family.
After listening to the conversations of his seniors, Chen Xuan learned the whole story.
The city lord did designate a piece of land for the city lord's palace in the newly completed northern area, but it will take at least one to two years before that place is put into use.
In this short period of time, the City Lord's Mansion cannot be idle, so I want to buy back the real estate in the old city that originally belonged to the City Lord's Mansion.
Unfortunately, this matter was blocked by the major families in Lu Yucheng. No matter how much money the city lord's palace paid to buy back the real estate, the major families would intensify their efforts to increase the price.
Regarding business matters, neither Chen Xuan nor Chen Xuan in his previous life were very proficient.
Therefore, although the seniors were filled with indignation, Chen Xuan had no choice but to listen from the side.
"Chen Xuan's body." Nangong Zhongjun suddenly turned to look at Chen Xuan and said, "The city lord values you very much. Can you let the city lord speak to you?"
"This is the only chance for our City Lord's Mansion to rise. If we can't get the house deeds and land deeds of those shops, our City Lord's Mansion will..."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with the city lord tomorrow."
Chen Xuan knew that the matter was very important, so he could only do this.
After receiving Chen Xuan's reply, the seniors in the family became much more relaxed. At the same time, no one dared to make things difficult for Chen Xuan.
Now the city lord's mansion relies entirely on Chen Xuan alone.
"Okay, let's stop here. Chen Xuan stays and the others go back."
Nangong Zhongjun waved his hand, leaving only Chen Xuan's body and everyone else was gone. Nangong Zhongjun lowered his voice and said: "Chen Xuan, your cultivation realm has been advancing by leaps and bounds recently. What is going on?"
Chen Xuan knew that this matter could not be kept secret, and he was mentally prepared and said: "Chinese Army, actually.
Someone is secretly helping Chen Xuan."
"oh?"
Nangong Zhongjun said in surprise: "So, that person secretly taught you the skills and taught you how to practice?
Who is that person?"
Chen Xuan shook his head: "He is an old man, but I don't know his name, and he didn't accept me."
"It's just that he said that he values my talent and will train me first. If I can make a difference, he will consider taking me in."
Nangong Zhongjun's face was filled with joy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The cultivation and combat skills you have recently displayed put even me to shame, so I guessed that there must be an expert behind you to help you."
"After that, you must practice diligently and don't let anyone's good intentions go to waste."
Chen Xuan said respectfully: "Chen Xuan understands."
Nangong Zhongjun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about these things. Just concentrate on your cultivation. You must give that senior a satisfactory answer on the Lu Yu Qi Ranking."
"yes."
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement. Early the next morning, Chen Xuan brought enough materials and the elixir furnace and rushed to Huushi to refine the stone skin elixir.
But before that, he still sent a message to Lu Jiuyuan, expressing the city lord's mansion's request for help.
Signaling is a very expensive communication tool. It is a token filled with spiritual power. After being sent out, it can fly directly to the city lord's palace.
Back boulder.
Chen Xuan set up the alchemy furnace and placed all the herbs needed to refine Shifu Dan in front of the alchemy furnace.
Alchemists are a very noble profession in this world. Their cultivation may not be very strong, but their status is extremely high.
Just like ordinary mortals, no matter how rich and well-established they are, they will eventually find a doctor, so a warrior will definitely find an alchemist.
And alchemy is a profound and unpredictable knowledge. This thing only depends on talent, not hard work.
If you don't have talent, you won't be able to become even the most junior alchemist even if you work hard all your life.
In his previous life, Chen Xuan was a candidate for disciple that countless alchemists wanted to compete for. He did learn some very high-end alchemy techniques, but he focused more on cultivation.
"I have lost my five heavenly spirit veins. I wonder if I will still have the talent for alchemy in this life."
Chen Xuan took deep breaths continuously in front of the alchemy furnace.
To be honest, he really didn't know whether he could make elixirs in this life.
The elixir Stone Skin Pill can be complicated or simple, depending on who is doing it.
"The preparation of medicinal materials is only the most superficial knowledge."
Chen Xuan was mumbling to himself while putting various medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Then he took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body flowed to his hands, and he slapped the outer wall of the alchemy furnace with his palms.
That palm struck the outer wall of the alchemy furnace, and the spiritual power contained in the palm was immediately injected into the alchemy furnace.
Almost at the same time, the fire rose under the alchemy furnace.
The temperature of the furnace fire quickly passed through the outer wall and entered the interior. The temperature was swept by the spiritual power and slowly traveled inside the alchemy furnace, preheating the herbs first.
There are indeed too many things that an alchemist needs to consider when making alchemy.
Everything from the strength of the fire, the speed of the fire, the timing of turning on the furnace, to the alchemist's perception of the changes in medicinal properties, and every detail of the reaction of the medicinal herbs under high temperature must be taken into consideration.
If I were to write down this knowledge, I'm afraid it wouldn't fit in more than a dozen thick books.
At the same time, Chen Xuan's expression became increasingly ugly.
He possesses super strong spiritual power control, and his precision is rare in the world.
But here's the trouble.
"Damn it."
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "The changes in the properties of the medicine are no longer noticeable."
The wood talent is a great help in alchemy. It allows Chen Xuan to detect the changes in temperature of each herb at any time.
But in this life, he has now lost the five elements innate ability. Although he can control the fire to perfection, he cannot detect the medicinal properties inside the medicinal herbs and cannot detect the changes in the temperature of the medicinal herbs.
Without this kind of perception, trying to make elixirs is just a dream.
Chen Xuan was able to control the heat at this time, but he had no idea what was happening with the herbs.
"No, if you continue to practice blindly, all the herbs will be destroyed."
Chen Xuan was sweating on his forehead. It was a pity that the medicinal herbs were ruined. It was a pity that he had lost his talent for alchemy.
Just before he was about to give up, he suddenly had an idea and suddenly converted the spiritual power that was swept by the warmth of the furnace fire into the spiritual power of Suzaku.
The power of the Suzaku allowed Chen Xuan to control the spiritual power of the Suzaku with perfect accuracy.
Waves of Suzaku spiritual power swept through the high temperature and quickly interspersed among the herbs. The next moment, a miracle happened.
Those Suzaku spiritual powers actually directly penetrated the medicinal herbs and dialyzed the most basic components of the medicinal herbs. Chen Xuan was shocked and lost his voice: "I actually did."
The power of the Suzaku penetrated the medicinal herbs, allowing Chen Xuan to understand the most detailed changes in the medicinal herbs. The degree of detail was even precise down to the molecules.
Not only did he not lose his talent for alchemy, but he became even more tyrannical.
His ability to perceive changes in medicinal herbs is simply unprecedented.
Chen Xuan was incredibly aware of everything in the alchemy furnace, which was clear, thorough, precise and perfect.
After the herbs were preheated, Chen Xuan suddenly strengthened the power of Suzaku and quenched the fire to a higher temperature.
A full hour later, Chen Xuan slapped the outer wall of the alchemy furnace with a heavy palm, and the top cover of the alchemy furnace opened immediately.
Whoosh, whoosh, three streams of elixir rushed out of the furnace, and Chen Xuan caught them in his hand.
Next to his body, three strands of khaki-colored elixir were rolling, and Chen Xuan took a breath of cold air.
Stone Skin Pill was successful, without wasting any of its medicinal properties, and it was able to produce three strands.
Each level of elixir is divided into four levels of cultivation, namely low level, intermediate level, high level, and very high level.
As for the Stone Skin Pills refined by Chen Xuan, they are all of the best quality, the best of the best.
"I really didn't expect that."
Chen Xuan held three high-quality elixirs and was filled with emotion. It turned out that the power of Suzaku was so incredible.
No wonder warriors with the power of Suzaku from ancient times to the present are very rare.
And this kind of heaven-defying talent can also bring such help to his attainments in alchemy.
In other words, according to my previous idea, wouldn't the success rate be higher if I use myself as a pill to condense the soul?
"That being the case."
He put the three strands of Stone Skin Pill into the storage ring and said softly: "The only material I need to condense the soul is the circulation grass."
It seemed that his bold idea could be realized, and Chen Xuan suddenly felt very good.
But, where can I find something like circulation grass?
This stumped Chen Xuan. He was not very familiar with the medicinal herb-rich areas within Lu Yu City.
"correct."
He slapped his forehead and said, "I can ask the city lord. He is in charge of Lu Yu City."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan suddenly set off and headed towards Lu Yucheng.
