After some inquiries, I found out that the Dragon City Onmyoji Association is not far from here.
Liu Xia and Dabao walked away. When they got there, they looked up and found that the atmosphere of the Longdu Onmyoji Association was indeed different.
When he was in Weiyang, Liu Xia saw the headquarters of the Northwest Onmyoji Association, which was just an organization similar to a sect.
Most of the income comes from donations from Onmyoji.
After all, if there is such a place where Onmyoji can answer questions and resolve doubts, everyone naturally wants him to exist.[
It is a good thing to get together, compare skills, and buy and sell materials.
As a result, the association in Longdu was very impressive.
The Longdu Onmyoji Association has white walls and black tiles. It looks like a large estate. This land is probably very expensive in Longdu.
Compared to the shabby associations in other places, this place definitely has wealthy owners.
There is already a long queue outside the association gate.
Liu Xia stood on one side and heard various dialects. It was obvious that these people were here for authentication just like him.
Liu Xia discovered that most of the team had been certified elsewhere.
There are obvious Onmyoji logos on their chests.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, by you, what are you looking for? Get in line."
At this time, a servant at the door pointed at Liu Xia and shouted.
Just as Dabao was about to have a seizure, Liu Xia stopped him and stood behind the team.
"Are you in a good temper today?"
Dabao asked curiously.
"Calm down. Before the storm breaks out, it needs to be brewed."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
At this time, an Onmyoji standing in front of them looked at Dabao curiously. It was obviously the first time he saw a spiritual beast and he was quite curious.
Liu Xia saw that he was in his sixties, had a fourth-level Onmyoji certification on his chest, and was quite kind, so he smiled kindly.
"Young man, are you here for certification too?"
"Haha, yes. What's your surname?"[
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"My name is Huang. Please call me Huang Quan."
The old man smiled kindly, but after saying that, he glanced at the door and his expression became slightly solemn.
"Senior, what seems to be on your mind?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Hey, don't mention it. This is my third time."
"three times?"
Liu Xia was puzzled. At his age, if he could reach the fourth level, he was obviously very stable. How could he fail three times?
"The first time I came here, I had already completed the elixir. But the examiner here said that my elixir was not nearly as hot. So I was only given the third-level elixir. How much does the third-level elixir cost? So I came to take the test again. As a result,
The second time, it became a pill, so they found another excuse. Anyway, they didn’t give it to me. I have never encountered anything like this in my whole life."
The old man looked a little angry.
"It's become a pill but you haven't given it yet? Why is that?"
"Why? If you want to think about it, you have to pass other people's conditions."
“What conditions??”
"If you want to sell elixirs in the future, you must sell the elixirs to others, and they will sell them. After you sell the money, you will have to extract a layer. If you don't agree, they will not give it to you. You also know that our Onmyoji has a huge turnover.
, I have been prevented from selling fourth-level elixirs, and the materials and money are almost running out. My elixirs can only be sold to Hei Motian at a low price."
"So are you ready to compromise this time?"
"Yes, what else can I do? The entire Longdu's elixirs and materials are under their control. What can I do? Unless I suffer some losses, forget it."
The old man sighed softly and said.
When Liu Xia heard this, everything became clear.
It seems that the fourth-level elixir is a hurdle. If it is a fourth-level elixir, it must be sold by them. If the elixir of the third-level and below is to be sold, it must pass their certification.
There is a huge price difference between the fourth-level elixir and the third-level elixir.
By monopolizing the source, they can make huge profits.
Those who are suffering are those who buy elixirs.[
It is estimated that the rich and powerful people can raise their own onmyojis and be self-sufficient, so there is no need for them.
More people must buy elixirs through this method.
At this moment, the team slowly moved forward.
Liu Xia and Dabao are waiting here for whatever they want.
It was their turn to go in with great difficulty.
When we arrived at the door, the waiter asked: "What level are you applying for?"
"I'm going to apply for the fourth level exam."
The man on duty was obviously stunned. After all, Liu Xia looked so young that he really didn't look like he could refine the fourth level.
"Five hundred taels of silver."
The waiter took out a number plate and threw it on the table.
Liu Xia couldn't help being a little surprised. After verification, it actually cost five hundred taels of silver.
It is indeed a huge profit.
Immediately, Liu Xia put the banknote on the table.
He entered the association compound with the card in hand.
The hand sign says room A, number six.
Liu Xia followed the signs and found houses in the association.
There are numbers written on them.
When Liu Xia and Dabao were looking for a room, Liu Xia was really looking after the so-called Zhang Shengshou.
Naturally, he also saw Liu Xia.
Immediately, the Zhang Shengshou glanced at Liu Xia's hand and showed a disdainful smile.
Then, he whispered a few words to his entourage and left.
Liu Xia is here to cause trouble anyway, and he hopes to deal with him soon.
After a while, Liu Xia finally found room A-6.
Outside the room, the waiter looked at the cards in his hand and said, "Go in."
Liu Xia opened the door and saw four people sitting in the huge room.
These four people all have the symbol of the Great Onmyoji on their chests.
Their ages range from forty to seventy.
There was a bit of impatience on everyone's face, but seeing Liu Xia's young age, they couldn't help but feel curious.
After all, Liu Xia is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and this time he is applying for the fourth-level elixir training, which is very rare at this age.
"Boy, do you know that what you are practicing is a fourth-level elixir?"
At this time, a fat examiner asked.
"good."
Liu Xia said.
"Okay, you start preparing. But I want to tell you that if you fail, the fee will not be refunded. Also, there is an agreement here. Take a look at it. If you have no objections, sign it first."
Dabao immediately walked over, took it and handed it to Liu Xia.
This is what Huang Quan calls the overlord clause.
Liu Xia took a quick look at it and found it to be true.
"May I ask, is it okay if I don't sign?"
"Of course, it's voluntary, we won't force you."
The examiner smiled lightly.
"Grandson, you are really insidious."
Liu Xia couldn't help but cursed in her heart.
"Have you thought about it?"
the examiner asked.
"Senior, I won't sign."
Liu Xia said.
At that moment, the four examiners showed a bit of disdain.
However, they were still very curious about whether Liu Xia could become a pill at his age, so they did not let Liu Xia leave.
"Be prepared to do it. The elixir will be ready within an hour. Otherwise, it will be considered a failure."
The examiner said.
It takes an hour to refine the fourth-level elixir, which is indeed a bit rushed.
However, a skilled Onmyoji has enough time.
Liu Xia is now considered proficient, and the alien spiritual power is powerful and much faster than ordinary spiritual power.
At this time, Liu Xia began to prepare materials.
At this moment, the door was opened.
Sure enough, the man named Zhang walked in.
The four examiners stood up, clasped their fists and said, "Master Zhang."
Obviously, this person's status within the association is not low.
"Everyone, I'm just here to take a look. Why don't you continue."
Zhang Shengshou smiled faintly and looked at Liu Xia meaningfully.
Liu Xia didn't bother him at all, he just sat on the ground and sorted the materials.
He doesn't have the firepower of Ao Cangqiong to classify thousands of materials at the same time.
Three minutes later, Liu Xia began to practice the materials.
When the material slowly melted in his palm, several examiners were startled and looked at each other involuntarily.
Using your hands and using an alchemy furnace are completely different levels of difficulty.
Liu Xia was obviously very skilled. In less than half an hour, more than thirty kinds of materials were combined and completed.
After the first success, I am now very familiar with it.
The four examiners looked at Liu Xia refining the elixir, and they were all very surprised and pointed from time to time.
The man named Zhang was still dismissive.
As the hourglass dripped little by little, Liu Xia had reached the final stage.
When the last grain of sand fell, Liu Xia's elixir had taken shape.
Immediately, he handed it to Dabao.
Dabao took a look at the elixir. It was covered with Heavenly Patterns, which showed that it was of high quality.
He handed it over to one of the examiners with confidence.
The examiner took a look, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Immediately, the elixir began to be passed to each other.
After all four examiners looked at it, they all nodded.
Then it was passed to the man named Zhang.
The man named Zhang took a look and showed a hint of surprise.
"Boy, please think about our conditions again."
At this time, the examiner reminded Liu Xia again.
"There's no need to think about it. I won't agree to it."
Liu Xia put her hands behind her back and smiled lightly.
Dabao knew that the show was about to begin.
"Hey, what a pity. Although the quality of your elixir is good, it has flaws. It cannot pass the fourth level."
The examiner said disappointedly.
"Senior, may I ask if there are any flaws?"
Liu Xia asked.
"When I say you have flaws, you have flaws. Do you doubt my words?"
The examiner said impatiently.
"Of course I doubt it. Who can believe it based on your words?"
Liu Xia said slowly.
"How presumptuous! Boy, I think you are a talented person, so get out now. If you think about it, come back to take the exam next time. Otherwise, you will end up living in Longdu in the future."
The examiner said angrily.
"What if I agree now?"
Liu Xia changed her tone and asked curiously.
"If you agree..."
"You can't get through either."
Before the examiner had finished speaking, Zhang Shengshou spoke first.
"Why?"
"For no other reason than that, if you despise our Dragon City Onmyoji Association, I will teach you a lesson."
The man named Zhang said arrogantly.
"Hahahaha, despise you? Actually, I want to despise you. A good association has been turned into a mess by you. You are indeed very courageous."
"You bastard, you are so young and you are uttering arrogant words. Someone, get kicked out of here."
At this time, the examiner said angrily.
Immediately, the door was opened and several servants rushed in.
"Brother, it seems that we are going to make a big fuss today. You guys, I'm going to raze your place to the ground today."
Having said this, Liu Xia stretched out his hand, and Tianquan appeared in his hand.
