After the banquet, Zhou Cheng had no choice but to stay overnight in Hao's mansion after Taifu Hao kindly persuaded him to stay.
In the courtyard, Zhou Cheng visualized the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun to nourish his soul.
One night passed.
Before it gets dark, the capitals all over the world are bustling with activity.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every household gets up early to pay New Year greetings.
Zhou Cheng got up, relaxed his muscles and bones, swallowed a Wanshou Pill, then left the courtyard, came to the hall, and said goodbye to Taifu Hao.
The Wanshou Pill he swallowed just now was the last Wanshou Pill on his body, so today he had to buy the medicinal materials for refining the Wanshou Pill.
Knowing that Zhou Cheng had something to do, Mr. Hao did not dare to keep Zhou Cheng any longer, so he gave Zhou Cheng a big red envelope and said with a smile that he would give Zhou Cheng a big red envelope next New Year.
Zhou Cheng left Hao Mansion and came to Guangming Chamber of Commerce.
The Guangming Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Four Seas Dynasty, and it has branches in many surrounding dynasties. It has a wide supply of goods. Although the materials of Longevity Pill and Tongshen Pill are rare, the Guangming Chamber of Commerce should have them in stock.
When Zhou Cheng came to the Guangming Chamber of Commerce, there were already a lot of people in the Guangming Chamber of Commerce. Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are still many people coming to buy and sell materials from a super large chamber of commerce like the Guangming Chamber of Commerce in the Four Seas Dynasty.
Since the waiters at the chamber of commerce were all greeting other guests, when Zhou Cheng arrived, there was no waiter to entertain Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng came to the counter and asked the lady at the counter: "I want to come over and buy a batch of medicinal materials. Does Guangming Merchant have these medicinal materials?" Then he took out the list of materials needed for Longevity Pill and Tongshen Pill.
The lady at the counter was busy calculating things and seemed a little upset. When Zhou Cheng asked, she didn't even raise her head and said angrily: "Didn't you see those guys in the main hall? You go ask other people, I'm not free here."
Zhou Cheng frowned but said nothing, then turned and walked towards a nearby clerk and asked, "Excuse me, does your Guangming Chamber of Commerce have these medicinal materials? I want to buy a batch of medicinal materials."
Then handed over the materials list.
The clerk was receiving a rich young man. He glanced at Zhou Cheng and said, "You didn't see that I was busy. Go and ask someone else!"
Without letting Zhou Cheng ask anyone, he turned around and continued chatting with the rich kid.
Zhou Cheng asked: "Just now the front desk asked me to ask you guys, and now you ask me to ask other people, who should I ask?" His tone was already a little angry.
When the clerk heard this, his eyes widened: "Ask whoever you want to ask, go away and don't bother me here."
Zhou Cheng's face darkened.
At this moment, suddenly, a group of people walked in outside the gate of Guangming Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing this group of people, there was a commotion in the hall.
The people who came were clearly members of the Formation Guild. Everyone was wearing the brocade robes of a Formation Apprentice, and the person at the front was also wearing the brocade robes of an Array Master.
When the members of the Guangming Chamber of Commerce saw that the masters from the Formation Guild were arriving, they all stopped and greeted the people from the Formation Guild. Including the lady at the counter, she also stopped what she was doing and hurriedly came out.
"Mr. Chen, you are here!" The counter lady came to the formation master, bowed and smiled, looking a little excited.
The formation mage nodded slightly, and then glanced around the hall. At this moment, through the crowd, he saw a blue-shirted figure in the distance. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was startled, and quickly pulled away the counter lady.
He and the crowd walked towards the blue-shirted figure.
The counter lady and everyone were surprised.
Everyone looked at Zhou Cheng.
The formation master came to Zhou Cheng and said respectfully and excitedly: "Chen Li has met Young Hero Zhou Cheng!" He bowed very low.
Young hero Zhou Cheng!
The lady at the counter, the clerk from the chamber of commerce, and other experts present were all shocked.
Especially the clerk who just told Zhou Cheng to stay away and not disturb him was surprised, and then his face was frightened, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Young hero Zhou Cheng!
In addition, even Master Chen Li, the formation master, respected him so much that his identity was about to be revealed.
Zhou Cheng glanced at Chen Li and nodded. He still had some impression of Chen Li. He was the direct disciple of Ren Zhiqiang, the vice president of the Sihai Formation Association.
Seeing Zhou Cheng nod, Chen Li smiled respectfully and said, "Young hero Zhou Cheng also comes to Guangming Chamber of Commerce to buy things?"
Zhou Cheng hummed and said: "Originally I planned to buy a batch of medicinal materials to make elixirs. However, when I came here, I asked the lady at the counter that she was not available. I asked the clerk in the lobby. I asked the clerk in the lobby, but she still didn't have any.
Sora, let me ask someone else."
"I asked one more question, and he asked me to stay away and not to disturb him."
Zhou Cheng glanced at the counter lady and the chamber of commerce clerk.
Chen Li and everyone else's eyes fell on the counter lady and the chamber of commerce guy.
The counter lady and the chamber of commerce clerk felt panic in their hearts, and just as they were about to step forward to explain, they saw the vice president of the Guangming Chamber of Commerce coming out of the inner hall with several experts from the Guangming Chamber of Commerce.
The vice-president of the Guangming Chamber of Commerce learned that Chen Li was coming, so he came out to receive him. When he saw people gathered in the hall, and Chen Li stood respectfully and modestly in front of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy, he couldn't help but be stunned.
…
Half an hour later.
Zhou Cheng came out of Guangming Chamber of Commerce.
He was sent out by Chen Li and the senior officials of the Guangming Chamber of Commerce.
Zhou Cheng did not disappoint. This time at the Guangming Chamber of Commerce, he purchased the medicinal materials for refining the Wanshou Dan and the Tongshen Dan.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to refine two furnaces of Longevity Pills and two furnaces of Spirit-Enhancing Pills.
Two furnaces of Longevity Pills are just enough for what he needs recently.
After arriving at the Nine Demons Temple in the Dynasty Contest, continue to purchase a batch of medicinal materials.
The Nine Demons Temple houses the largest chamber of commerce in Qingfeng Continent, so there is no shortage of medicinal materials.
After coming out of the Guangming Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Chenggong returned to the Chu family's headquarters. After returning to the Chu family's headquarters, Zhou Chenggong prepared the medicinal materials according to the elixir recipe and put it into the earth cauldron.
After a while, two furnaces of Longevity Pill and Tongshen Pill were successfully refined.
In the next two days, Zhou Cheng spent most of his time in the yard reading books about Sanxian Cave Mansion and Tianlongmen Treasure House.
Now, apart from spiritual stones and magic crystals, what he loves most are books.
The books in Sanxian Cave Mansion and the Tianlongmen Treasure House were enough for him to read for a year and a half.
However, Zhou Cheng did not read all the books, but read them selectively.
In the past two days, the prince of the Sihai Dynasty, Yuan Fenghua, came over and warmly invited Zhou Cheng to the palace to attend a banquet. However, Zhou Cheng declined them all.
Two days later, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, we set off for the Nine Demons Temple today. Yuan Fenghua and the masters from the Four Seas Royal Family came early to invite Zhou Cheng.
Since the Chu family also had disciples participating in the dynasty competition, Zu Yuan and others also traveled with Zhou Cheng.
Because Yuan Fenghua participated in the dynasty competition, there were many masters from the royal family of the Four Seas following him this time, as many as a hundred people. In addition to Zhou Cheng and Chu Yuan, Zhou Cheng and his party had more than a hundred people.
