Aren’t all the authentic masterpieces of Mr. Qingteng collected by great scholars and never seen in the world?
It is said that several Confucian and Taoist masters fought over it three hundred years ago, and eventually disappeared.
Such cultural treasures should not appear in this shop at all!
But the surging literary spirit and the shocking Ivy Xuwei signature couldn't be a forgery.
"It's not a forgery, and it can't be Mr. Qingteng's redrawing. Mr. Qingteng is confused and has stopped writing for a long time..."
"Master Bao, please have some tea." Zuo Yulong's voice sounded from beside him. Master Bao came back to his senses, and his spiritual aura calmed down.
He turned his head, took the tea cup with a smile, and said softly: "What are the identities of your landlady and shopkeeper?"
What is your identity?
Zuo Yulong's face flashed with confusion and he shook his head.
I really can't tell.
Mr. Bao was a little disappointed, his eyes fell on the tea cup in his hand, then his hand shook and he almost threw the cup away.
"Chicken vat cup, authentic..."
Turning his head, his face gradually became dull.
"The High Picture of Mount Lu, Authentic."
"Xishan Travel Map, Authentic."
"Picture of hibiscus and golden pheasant, authentic."
"Picture of Dwelling in the Mountains of Fuchuan, Authentic."
"Ink Grape Picture... hiss——"
…
When Han Muye and Mu Wan returned to Guanyueli shop, Zuo Yulong recounted what happened in the afternoon.
"I have inquired, Mr. Bao Mingcheng is one of the three deputy directors of the Defense Department."
Zuo Yulong reported softly.
Mr. Bao left in a daze before finishing half the cup of tea. When he walked out of the door, he almost tripped over the threshold.
"Sir, they said it's difficult to open the elixir shop. Is there anything going on?" Shao Datian asked nervously from the side.
Cuicui also looked nervous.
Their shop has been reopened, and the neighbors say that Mr. Bao can save them from any trouble with just a word.
But it is said that elixir shops require a great background.
In the afternoon, people from several nearby shops came to explain some unspoken rules.
For example, the big businesses in the city are backed by powerful forces, and they are not just opened by ordinary people.
"It's okay, let's talk about it after we open."
Han Muye smiled and waved his hands.
Danyao Department?
Isn't that Qin Suyang in charge?
Mu Wan also smiled and nodded.
Today, she has seen those alchemy masters, masters, and even grand masters, and she feels much more confident.
On the way, I discussed alchemy with my senior brother. According to what he said, I am not far away from becoming a master of alchemy. I just need to improve my cultivation and polish my skills.
When Han Muye and the others came back, the owners of several shops next door also came to take a look.
The Tao shopkeeper of an inn said that if Han Muye and the others were really not allowed to open an elixir store, they could merge the shop with their inn and turn into an inn.
Another shop owner who made ready-made clothes pulled Mu Wan and whispered, as if she wanted to ask Mu Wan if she had any ideas, and was also planning to find some familiar people for help.
The kindness of these people was rejected by Han Muye and Mu Wan with smiles.
The store won't let you open?
Just a little trouble.
In other words, it's not even a problem.
In the evening, Cuicui made dinner and brought it over, and the snack bar next door continued to operate.
Because of the twists and turns in the afternoon, more customers came to the snack bar.
Shao Datian teased the children, and the passers-by who were looking around stopped. There were also many children who wanted to play with them with eager faces.
"It's good to be a mortal." Mu Wan said softly, sitting on the bluestone steps at the door of the shop.
Her eyes fell on the children walking around Shao Da Tian.
Cuicui puts all kinds of food on the side, which always attracts the children who like it to buy it.
In the past two days, the sales of these snacks have been getting better and better.
Although Shao Datian was sweating, he still smiled and let the naughty children climb on his back.
A young man and woman from the Southern Wilderness lived hard in the blossoming imperial city, full of longing for the future.
They didn't know that without the paperwork from Han Muye, their store wouldn't be able to open at all.
They also didn't know that the rent of this shop could never be thirty spiritual stones a month.
"Senior brother, I will refine some elixirs in the next few days and then open the shop." Looking at Han Muye, Mu Wan said softly.
Han Muye nodded, turned to look at her and said, "I will write a notice tomorrow and say that Danyuan Pavilion will open in five days."
Mu Wan had a smile on her face.
Cuicui and Shao Datian are working hard to live their lives and strive for their own happiness. They and their senior brothers are also fighting for it!
Han Muye stretched out his hand and took Mu Wan's hand. The two of them looked at the tourists and the playing children in front of them.
"Junior sister, let's go to Xianyue Lake for a walk."
"Okay, it's just a little late, right?"
"It's better to go later, there are less people."
…
Yuyuan Street is wide, and cars and horses can run side by side along the avenue.
Zuo Lin, who was driving the carriage, slowed down.
Behind him, Zuo Yuting and Zuo Yulong were sitting on the frame in front of the carriage, one on the left and one on the right, both in a daze.
Turning around to look, Zuo Lin had a smile on his face.
In the past, he had imagined many times that he could drive a car like this and take a pair of children on the street.
If only, if their mothers could see this scene, that would be great...
"Brother, tell me, is there really such a chance in this world?" Zuo Yuting turned her head and looked at Zuo Yulong beside her.
Zuo Yulong turned his head to look at her, and then looked at Zuo Lin who was driving in front.
"I don't know either." Shaking his head, Zuo Yulong looked at some shops on both sides of the street that were still open.
"These past few days, it seems like I'm in a dream."
In a dream.
Zuo Yuting nodded.
When she went to the alchemy shop today, what she saw and heard, as well as the attitude of the alchemists towards her, made her seem to be in a dream.
Are the shopkeeper and proprietress of our house really such unimaginable big shots?
Ahead, Zuo Lin, who was driving the carriage, grinned, and then the carriage turned around.
"Dad, where are you going?" Zuo Yulong asked hurriedly.
"I'll take you to drink." Zuo Lin said with a smile.
drink wine?
Zuo Yulong's eyes lit up.
"Dad, you don't let us drink..." Zuo Yuting's eyes also sparkled.
"You have grown up and can drink." Zuo Lin smiled and stopped the carriage at the entrance of an alley.
There are several wooden tables in front of the alley, and there are wine signs next to them.
The man in shorts came over with a smile on his face.
It's rare for people to come to such a small shop to drink in a carriage or horse.
…
In the next few days, Mu Wan started refining the elixir, while Zuo Yuting helped pack and organize the elixir.
After the elixirs are refined, the labels are written, sorted into categories and put away in jade bottles.
The shop in the front and the small courtyard in the middle are all decorated.
The walls of the shop are covered with paintings and calligraphy, and there are tables and chairs for guests to stop and rest.
You can also sit down and discuss the price of elixirs.
There are several wooden shelves in the middle with jade bottles placed on them for selling elixirs.
The counter on the side can be used as a registration place. Han Muye usually sits here, while Zuo Yulong and Zuo Lin greet each other at the door.
Zuo Lin is also responsible for receiving the guests' entourage, carriages and horses.
The small courtyard in the backyard is also nicely decorated with lush flowers and plants.
In Mu Wan's imagination, this was a place to entertain visitors when big business came to the door.
According to what Mu Wan said when she was sitting on the stone steps, she would be watching her senior brother discuss refining high-quality elixirs with the great monks. One sum would last for ten years for the shop.
"Then you'll make a fortune."
When he said this, Mu Wan's eyes were as bright as when he held the exquisite Yunqi Pill on Jiuxuan Mountain back then.
A notice has been posted at the door, stating that Danyuan Pavilion will open in five days.
It's already the fourth day, and tomorrow is the opening day.
Cui Cuina next door has been making fried fruits and Nanhuang snacks for guests these two days.
I'll serve it out when the guests come tomorrow.
Shao Datian said that people in Nanhuang are polite to their guests.
Mu Wan said that she would have to pay spiritual stones for these meals, and Cuicui would not accept them.
She said this is what she and Shao Datian should do.
Shao Datian is still serving as the guard of Danyuan Pavilion.
"Is Mr. Mu here?"
There was a sound at the door.
Han Muye, who was sitting behind the counter, stood up.
In fact, quite a few people have come to visit us these days.
In the alchemy workshop, several of the alchemy masters whom I had met in the Qin family's alchemy room that day had found them through unknown sources.
It's just that most of them just come to the door, say a few words and then leave.
After all, there is no friendship, and Danyuan Pavilion has not been officially opened yet.
At the door, Baili Tongyun, who was wearing a Confucian robe, and Qin Siyu, who was similarly dressed, walked in.
Zuo Yulong was listening in the Imperial City Academy and must have seen the two of them. At this time, his face looked extremely surprised.
"Miss Baili, Miss Qin." Han Muye cupped his hands, then raised his hand and said, "Please sit down and serve tea."
When he heard about serving tea, Zuo Yulong, who stood dumbfounded, hurriedly went to pour the tea.
Baili Tongyun smiled and waved, and two servants at the door brought in a plaque wrapped in red cloth.
She reached out and lifted up the red silk on the plaque, and the three characters "Danyuan Pavilion" appeared.
Han Muye's eyes lit up as his eyes fell on the handwriting.
"Handwritten by Grandmaster Huang Tingshu?"
Although Baili Tongyun once said that he would get a pair of Huang Tingshui's autographs for him, he didn't expect that he actually got one.
The handwriting is thick and lively, the strokes are broken but not broken, and the traces are left behind. The artistic conception reaches the pinnacle of calligraphy.
"Good words."
Han Muye looked at Baili Tongyun, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if Miss Baili can give me a message. I welcome Grandmaster Huang to visit my shop when he is free."
Baili Tongyun hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Sir, don't worry, Tongyun will definitely convey it."
Han Muye now also knows Baili Tongyun's identity. He is the same as Qin Siyu, and behind him is a powerful alchemy clan.
This is also the reason why the two of them will fight in various ways in the Imperial City Academy.
Baili Xinglin, a Confucian and Taoist master, and Dan Dao are both powerful masters in charge of the Dan Medicine Department.
In fact, in Han Muye's view, the actual cultivation levels of these great alchemy masters in the imperial city are not as simple as those of the great masters.
It's just that if you want to become a saint, there may be some difficult paths to follow.
Baili Xinglin has been famous for countless years. He is in charge of the alchemy path of the imperial city and has countless disciples.
"Uncle, Xiaowu has sent you this." Qin Siyu, who was standing aside, held a jade plaque in both hands and handed it to her.
Zuo Yulong, who was bringing the tea, shook his hands and almost threw the tray away.
granduncle!
The most charming character in Imperial City Academy, the fifth young lady of the Qin family, calls herself the great-uncle of the shopkeeper.
Baili Tongyun's face was full of smiles, obviously he knew about this matter.
Han Muye raised his hand to take the jade token.
There is a dark golden stream on the cyan jade plate, with the words "Book Library" engraved on it, and there is a golden spiritual pattern behind it, which is obviously used to mark the identity.
Only with this jade tablet can you browse the classics library of the Department of Alchemy.
Baili Tongyun and Qin Siyu didn't stay in the store for long, they just looked around.
The paintings and calligraphy on the walls shocked them all.
When they walked out of the store, they happened to encounter an old man in gray robe walking towards the door.
"Zhang, Zhang," Qin Siyu was stunned and hurriedly bowed: "Siyu pays homage to Master Zhang."
Baili Tongyun also bowed.
Zuo Yulong, who was at the door of the store, hurriedly arranged his clothes and then bowed to greet him.
Zhang Xu.
A teacher at the Imperial City Academy, a great master of Confucianism and Taoism, and a man whose reputation as a maniac in calligraphy spread throughout the Imperial City.
"It's really hard to find your store. I thought it was a big shop." Zhang Xu held a lot of scrolls under his arm, waved his hand, looked at Han Muye at the door, and then walked into the store.
He looked around with a smile on his face.
"You have emptied Lu Yuzhou's yard."
Han Muye laughed: "It hasn't been emptied yet."
His words made Zhang Xu laugh.
He put the scroll under his arm on the counter, and then said: "I heard that your store will open tomorrow, and I want to give you a braille painting as a congratulatory gift. I am too lazy to deal with those guys."
Han Muye nodded.
This great master who can carry a big broom and sweep the streets is indeed a bit out of tune with the others.
However, if you can reach the realm of a great Confucian and Taoist master, you will have your own way of cultivation.
Follow the path and not let external things shake your mind. This is the nature of mind that a great monk should have.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang."
Han Muye's title is neither humble nor arrogant.
With his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation, he is already comparable to Zhang Xu's peers.
Zhang Xu smiled, turned around and left.
When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Your poetry is really good. Call me next time you drink wine with Lu Yuzhou."
Han Muye's face froze slightly.
Are you the kind of person who drinks flower wine?
At the door, Qin Siyu and Baili Tongyun, who had not yet walked away, looked at Han Muye again, and their eyes were a little different.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
As for Zuo Yulong, he was already a little numb.
To entertain guests, just serve tea and pour water.
As long as it's not Wen's blind date, he thinks it's normal.
Not long after Zhang Xu and the others left, Mu Wan slightly walked out tiredly.
Zuo Yuting carefully placed several jade bottles on the wooden shelf and put the labels in place.
These elixirs were all refined by Mu Wan in the past few days.
Among them, the seventh-grade elixirs are the main ones, and the eighth-grade elixirs are all of the best quality.
There are also two kinds of sixth-grade elixirs.
This is Mu Wan's current limit.
"You guys go back to rest in the afternoon and come to the shop early tomorrow."
Han Muye asked Zuo Yulong and the others to leave first and then close the shop door.
"Junior sister, these elixirs are not bad, but we are opening tomorrow, so why don't we have a few treasures that will help the store?"
Turning to look at Mu Wan, Han Muye said softly.
Mu Wan nodded, with a trace of regret on his face: "But I can only refine the sixth-grade elixir at most, and I'm really not sure about the fifth-grade elixir."
Hearing her words, Han Muye smiled and said, "That's okay, I can help you."
"Senior brother, can you make alchemy now?" Mu Wan whispered in surprise.
During these days, Han Muye was unable to control his own power due to the reason he was refining the body of the divine beast. Not only was he unable to refine elixirs, he also did not dare to do anything powerful.
For example, when he was close to Mu Wan, he only dared to hold her hand.
As for other things, what if you can't help yourself and hurt Mu Wan?
Han Muye shook his head.
"Refining the body of a divine beast is really not something that can be accomplished overnight."
The divine beast dominates its body and can hold up a whole heaven and earth. This kind of power not only requires refinement, but also the ability to lift a heavy weight with ease, which is not that easy.
There was a hint of disappointment on Mu Wan's face.
I thought it would be better...
"However, I can help you, junior sister, refine the elixir."
Han Muye stepped forward and held Mu Wan's hand, and said as he walked to the quiet room in the backyard.
"Senior brother, are you talking about the technique of initiation? But even the initiation, I'm afraid it won't allow me to refine a fifth-grade elixir, right?"
Mu Wan whispered in confusion.
Although the technique of initiation is straightforward, it is not as magical as imagined.
Even if Han Muye controls Mu Wan's body with his soul, he can only refine the elixir that Mu Wan can't do.
If divine soul empowerment can exceed the limit, then what's the point?
That is already a witchcraft.
"No need for initiation."
Walking into the quiet room, he raised his hand and sealed it with a rune. Han Muye turned to look at Mu Wan.
"I'm going to practice alchemy with you."
Double, repair?
Mu Wan's face turned red instantly.
Not daring to look into Han Muye's eyes, she retracted her hands into her sleeves and whispered, "Is this okay?"
"Isn't it good?" Han Muye smiled and waved his hand, and a golden cauldron appeared in the quiet room, and a spiritual light flashed.
