In the Wangyou Building in the center of Ping'an Town, there is an endless flow of passengers every day. People from all walks of life come and go, adding a different kind of prosperity to this remote town. Fighting and killing are prohibited in the town, no matter who.
When you come here, you will feel that this is a quiet and peaceful place!
Of course, this premise is to ignore the daunting primitive mountains not far away, where mountains are connected and ancient trees cover the sky. They always exude the primitive atmosphere of wilderness, as well as the faint smell of blood in the air!
Then, Ping'an Town can be regarded as a paradise to escape from the world!
And, on the west side of Wangyou Tower, on a side street leading to the primitive mountains, there is such a small shop - Wuyou Inn, which is quite famous in this Pingan town.
When talking about the Wuyou Inn, the first thing that outsiders think of is probably the indispensable signboard of the store - "Wouyou Wine". When talking about this "Wouyou Wine", it is related to the famous Wuyou Inn.
The "Wangyou Wine" in Youlou has the same effect but different approaches!
Compared with "Worry-free Wine" and "Wangyou Wine", the latter is like a nobleman among wines. In terms of value alone, it is even more valuable than gold!
The "Wangyou Wine" in Wangyou Tower can only be exchanged for ten taels of gold for such a small pot, but there are still countless customers flocking to it, and even more people only hear its name and can't get it!
In comparison, "Wuyou Liquor" is more like wine for the common people. One tael can buy a pot, and the quantity is sufficient, and the common people can also have a taste. Therefore, the business of Wuyou Inn has never been short of customers.
Since then it has been booming, and the demand for this "Worry-Free Wine" has always been in short supply!
If you are a wine-making expert, you will definitely be able to see that this "Wuyou Liquor" has the same charm as "Wangyou Liquor". Although the materials used are different, if you really want to distinguish, "Wuyou Liquor"
It’s more like a copycat version of “Wangyou Wine”! No, it’s a copycat version of a copycat version!
Although this "Worry-Free Wine" is somewhat similar to "Wangyou Wine" in terms of color, aroma and taste, in terms of its efficacy, the former is far from being comparable to it!
You must know that the "forgetting wine" and its exquisiteness can not only make people forget three thousand sorrows, but also use rare materials and have the effect of strengthening the body and cultivating the body, which has great benefits for the human body! All these,
It cannot be done one by one. Even everyone in the Unity Realm cannot completely resist its temptation!
But, even so, the fact that this "Worry-free Wine" can occupy a place among them, be talked about by people around Ping'an Town, and be sold publicly next to the Wangyou Building is enough to show that it is not simple!
Perhaps because of this, many people speculated that the relationship between Wuyou Inn and Wangyou Tower must be very close! At one time, some outsiders even thought that the owner of Wuyou Inn was the illegitimate son of the owner of Wangyou Tower, right?!
However, if you had met the innkeeper, you would never have this idea!
Later, according to rumors, the person who spread the rumor disappeared the day after the rumor spread! It is said that he was thrown into the mountain by the owner of Wangyou Tower himself.
The world is dangerous, so be careful what you say, act wisely and cherish it!
······
Wuyou Inn is a small shop opened on the West Street of Ping'an Town, and there are a lot of people on weekdays. The owner of the inn, people who are familiar with him will call him "Lao Hei", but most of the shop is run by the second brother in the shop.
Busy work.
However, the number of customers in the store today seemed to be less than before. Zhou Chen ignored the others and walked into the store on his own, walking through the aisles until he reached the small courtyard behind the store.
In the back hall of the small courtyard of the store, there are shelves one after another, with all kinds of weird gadgets on them! Even though Zhou Chen comes here often, he still can't fully distinguish their uses. Perhaps this is also
Because the goods here are updated every once in a while. However, Zhou Chen can guess a thing or two from them! On the other hand, this also greatly increases Zhou Chen's knowledge!
"Boy Zhou, you're right. I thought you should come to my place these days!" While Zhou Chen was looking at the items on the shelves, a thick voice came from the hall, like
It was because I had become so used to Zhou Chen's arrival that I could no longer get used to it.
And this is indeed the case!
In the early years, Zhou Chen had to stay in the town due to his own health. In the backyard of Wuyou Inn, usually only regular guests trusted by the inn owner or people from the town would come here. But since Zhou Chen discovered
After that, I will always come here to hang out! Of course, I also stop by to see what new and interesting things have been added here!
Zhou Chen looked at the person who came. On the surface, he seemed to be an old man who was over fifty years old and had gone through many hardships! His temples were slightly white, his eyes were sunken, but his slightly squinted eyes were unusually lively. His back was a bit hunched, and he was wearing tight-fitting clothes.
The short coat exudes a shrewd and capable aura!
However, Zhou Chen had inquired and knew clearly that the person in front of him was only in his forties at most!
"Old Hei! I came here today to talk to you about the last transaction. Some of the belongings I took from you were basically lost in the mountains last time, so I promised to share half of the prey with you.
, I’m afraid I can’t do it now!”
Lao Hei glanced at Zhou Chen calmly, smiled, and said indifferently, "Haha~ I guessed it just by looking at you! Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here empty-handed! But it doesn't matter!"
"Originally, if you succeed, then I can easily make a fortune; as for failure, this is normal! In business, it is true that there are profits and losses! After all, no one can guarantee that every time
You can gain something from the mountains, and you will be lucky if you can come back safely! As for those things you mentioned, treat them as your uncle and I gave them to you!"
Zhou Chen looked at Lao Hei slightly strangely, "It's rare to hear these words from your mouth! Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Oh~ Mr. Zhou, we have been dealing with each other for a long time! Let's not talk about how deep the relationship between us is. At least, I have watched you grow up. You are really hurting my heart.
!" Lao Hei said in a pretentious manner.
Zhou Chen was still very calm, "It is precisely because we have known each other for a long time that I know your style better. Over the years, I have never seen you do any losing business! If you are willing to pay a penny, then
I will definitely make ten cents back! Therefore, I would rather believe that the mouse will send New Year greetings to the cat than that one day you will show kindness!"
Listening to Zhou Chen's slightly sarcastic words, Lao Hei's expression did not change much, as if he did not understand, but he became more enthusiastic, "Xiao Chen, I have always treated you as my own nephew.
!However, speaking of it, I really encountered a trouble today and I urgently need your help!"
"When you first came in, did you notice that the business of my little shop was not as good as before?"
Lao Hei saw that Zhou Chen didn't take his words seriously, so he had no choice but to continue: "On weekdays, most of the customers who come to my place come for the 'Worry-free Wine' in the store, but I used to supply it to the store.
The old hunter who supplies the raw materials had an accident in the mountains a few days ago! No, now I can only sell in limited quantities! The popularity of my store has dropped a lot!"
"Then just wait a little longer and find someone else to supply you with the goods!" Zhou Chen said calmly.
Lao Hei said a little anxiously: "Oh no! How many things will be affected by this delay for one day? The clerk in the store has to pay wages, and the Orion who had an accident a few days ago has received another subsidy. In addition to the recent increase in the price of medicinal materials,
The cost of brewing wine is rising, there is really no way!”
Seeing Lao Hei looking worried and worried about money, I didn't know, seeing this look, I really thought he was in big trouble and short of money!
Zhou Chen couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Old Hei! If I remember correctly: at the beginning of the month, the 'worry-free wine' was still one liang per pot, then it increased to 2 taels, and now it's almost five taels before the end of the month."
Come on!"
What's more, there is only one clerk in this store, and Zhou Chen has almost never seen Lao Hei get any wages. It is said that the second brother in the store came here as a refugee. When Lao Hei met him,
He was already dying, but it was Lao Hei who gave him a rare bowl of rice, which saved him!
From then on, this Wuyou Inn has one more waiter! Moreover, this is the kind of person who works hard with less money, and works hard without complaining...
I don't know what Lao Hei's thoughts were at that time. Did he really want to show kindness once in a while, or did he have an idea for a long time to recruit free labor for the store? Zhou Chen thought secretly.
But it stands to reason that the weekday business of this Wuyou Inn can be said to be booming, especially Wuyou wine, which is always in short supply! In the early years, Lao Hei worked in the store by himself, and he was often too busy.
We should hire some help. But looking at how greedy and stingy this old black man was in the past, I'm afraid he would rather die of exhaustion than get an extra salary!
But, who let God favor this damn person!
Regarding the fact that he was willing to provide a subsidy to the hunter who was in trouble, Zhou Chen thought for a moment and probably understood some of the problems. Zhou Chen just wanted to sneer at this! After all, those who can stably supply the inn must be those with rich experience.
A seasoned old hunter, but even so, if he goes to the mountains, he will rarely come back with all his beards and tails intact! The so-called injury can only be regarded as normal in this cruel place, and can even be said to be lucky.
!
That’s it, you still need to pay for it yourself!
If everyone is stuck there without saying anything, I'm afraid they will have to go to the mountains to find materials by themselves in the future~ Lao Hei, I don't think he has the courage!
Without 120,000% certainty, Lao Hei would almost never leave Ping'an Town!
As for the materials required for brewing, they are all in the primitive mountains, and you only have to pay for the labor costs. Why is the cost too high? Why don’t you just say it will go up and it will go up!
If you really believe it, you are too naive!
When Lao Hei heard Zhou Chen's words, he didn't feel embarrassed at all because he knew that the boy in front of him was also a master who would not let go of the rabbit before he saw it!
Hmm~ This boy has quite a bit of the charm of my youth. Involuntarily, a trace of old-hearted comfort flashed through Lao Hei's eyes!
Old, old, it’s really a new generation replacing the old!
While Lao Hei was thinking to himself, he took out an ancient book that had been prepared from his arms and handed it over with great confidence, "Look at this! I think you will never reject me again."
ask!"
"Jiang's foundation-building secrets!" Zhou Chen only glanced at the cover of the book, and his pupils suddenly tightened, and his usually calm heart immediately began to ripple.
This is not because Zhou Chen is making a fuss, he has never seen anything in the world, but what this guy has come up with is really amazing!
As we all know, the first level of body building, body building and foundation building, can only be achieved when the energy and blood are abundant and the cultivation is complete.
To temper a person's skin, tendons, bones, marrow, blood and internal organs, and to circulate the whole body's energy up to a thousand kilograms, it is called perfection! At this step, ordinary people can begin to try to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and enter the second realm.
, sense element!
However, for the family sect, this is just the beginning!
When the body building realm is completed for the first time, all parts of the body are not completely tempered, and the whole body cannot be fully coordinated and cannot reach perfection! When the realm is low, this effect is not obvious, but when it comes to impacting the supreme Tao
When you are in this realm, even the slightest incongruity will be infinitely magnified, and the final result will be nothing more than death!
Therefore, after the first completion of the construction, there are still "twelve floors", one floor and one sky!
However, those who can achieve the perfection of the 'Twelve Layers' are rare in ancient times! And such people are said to be the seeds of immortality!
In recent years, only the man who is kept secret by everyone and is called the 'god-like man' has reached that level! If we go further, the founder of the Wu Dynasty - Emperor Wu, has achieved it!
The "Twelve-Storied Tower", each three levels is a level, so it is also called the "Twelve-Storied Tower with Four Levels"!
In the past, this was often an undisclosed secret of aristocratic sects. It was also a manifestation of the foundation and the foundation of the inheritance of great forces. In the past, it would never be possible to leak the slightest bit to the outside world. Even ordinary masters and disciples would often tell this secret.
It is passed down by word of mouth, without writing! This is also the reason why some stunning and beautiful people with ordinary backgrounds but great talents in the past had physical deficiencies, could not build the foundation in the right way, and had no hope of success!
The first six floors of the ‘Building Body Technique’ widely spread by Emperor Wu were recorded, spreading the path of greatness to poor families all over the world!
But that doesn't mean that the other recorded tips for the 'Twelve-Storied Building' lose their effectiveness!
On the contrary, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade!
Every additional method and know-how is equivalent to an additional possible path. You must know that even the disciples of aristocratic families have different upper limits due to various factors such as talent, cultivation resources, etc.
, most of them reach the sixth floor, which is the limit! As for casual cultivators, those who can reach the third floor are as few as morning stars!
It is no wonder that there are very few people in the Tao realm who come from poor families!
Every time you climb a floor, it means you are one step closer to the Taoist realm! According to rumors, anyone who can break through the last three floors of the building can directly enter the Taoist realm!
It's no wonder that Zhou Chen's usually calm temperament has begun to lose its calmness!
Zhou Chen did not question the authenticity of the things, and replied firmly without hesitation: "I agreed!"
Hearing this, Lao Hei smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Okay! You can check the other materials this time, but for the main material 'Worry-Free Grass', you have to get enough of it! Besides, I'm in a hurry.
!As for the reward this time, I can give you this booklet first!"
"How's it going, Mr. Zhou? Am I interesting enough for you?"
"Are you so generous? Aren't you afraid that if I get something, I won't be able to do my job?"
Lao Hei said with great confidence: "I have been in business for so many years, and I think I have good eyesight! I still believe in your character! Besides, according to the records in this book, people can continue to practice until the eighth
Chonglou! You must know that any method that can be cultivated to the sixth level of heaven is rare and rare wherever it is placed, and it can cause a bloody storm! However, the one I gave you is missing the last two levels!"
Zhou Chen quickly flipped through the book in his hand, and sure enough, the most important pages were torn out at the end! Looking at Lao Hei's slightly proud face in front of him, Zhou Chen's face turned dark.
"make a deal!".
Lao Hei looked at Zhou Chen's leaving back, as if he had seen his young self in the past, "It's great to be young, there are endless possibilities! Unfortunately, I didn't have such an opportunity at that time!"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lao Hei's figure became a little more stooped.
