At the Yunzhou Ferry in Qingyang City, four people from Zhou Chen stood in front of the Yunzhou stairs. Standing in front of them was Zhou Zhen, and behind them were several core figures of the Zhou family. They looked at Zhou Chen with somewhat sad expressions on their faces.
Zhou Zhen held Zhou Chen's wrist tightly with both hands, shaking constantly, with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen'er, are you really going to leave?"
Zhou Chen's eyes were moist, he held back his tears, squeezed out a slight smile, and said: "Grandpa, it's time for me to set off. I want to go find my parents. I believe they will be fine. Qingyang City is my home and I will come back."
, will bring them back together."
The tears in Zhou Zhen's eyes could no longer be held back, and they overflowed directly. Two lines of old tears fell down his cheeks. He had not seen his son and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and now his own grandson was leaving him again. In his heart,
Full of endless suffering.
Zhou Zhen knew that Zhou Chen’s journey this time would be extremely dangerous. He didn’t know whether the grandfather and grandson would be reunited one day, but he also knew that this was Zhou Chen’s path. His ability was limited and he could not accompany Zhou Chen on his journey.
Going down, I can only pray silently in my heart that Zhou Chen is safe.
"Senior, I know you can hear me. I beg you to protect my grandson. Zhou Zhen would like to thank you!" Zhou Zhen bowed deeply to the void. He didn't know what Lie Tianzun existed or where he was.
Zhou Chen just mentioned to him that his master was always by his side.
Zhou Chen is accompanied by a master. This is not a secret. Even Zhou Lianyi and the others know it, so they know who Zhou Zhen is bowing to. However, everyone in the Zhou family is confused and a little confused.
A person of Lie Tianzun's level has been away from the world for who knows how many years. He has completely forgotten the feeling of parting between life and death, and the feeling of being reluctant to leave. But at this time, he was also a little moved. He had set foot on the top of martial arts, immortality, and he
I have lived long enough. Looking back at the past now, I no longer have anyone close to me. I practice and practice until the end. Only myself is left. The price of immortality is loneliness, endless loneliness. Lie Tianzun does not know that he has gone this far.
The road is right or wrong, but fortunately, he met Zhou Chen, his only disciple, and maybe he will no longer have to be lonely on the road to immortality in the future.
"Don't worry!" Lie Tianzun said to Zhou Zhen through a message, and Zhou Chen naturally heard these words. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lie Tianzun to respond to Zhou Zhen.
When Zhou Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and the worries in his heart were reduced a bit. He loosened his hold on Zhou Chen's hands, looked at him kindly and said, "Go, son, grandpa is waiting for you in Qingyang City!"
Zhou Chen stared closely at Zhou Zhen's face, pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to imprint every line and wrinkle on Zhou Zhen's body in his heart.
After a long time, Zhou Chen turned around resolutely and stepped onto the stairs of Yunzhou. The tears on his cheeks rolled down like transparent pearls.
…
After bidding farewell to the Zhou family, Zhou Chen has now truly embarked on his own martial arts journey. The worries in his heart have been let go, leaving only the fetters of blood. From now on, Zhou Chen will fight for himself and carve out a vast world of his own.
On the cloud boat, everyone looked at Zhou Chen who was in a somewhat gloomy mood. They did not dare to say anything and just quietly did their own thing. Xiao Hei lay in the corner and slept peacefully. This is his way of cultivation.
.
Zhang Erbao continued to draw the talisman. He had already practiced the talisman to the second level before, but it was too expensive to sprint to the third level. He really had no choice. Fortunately, Zhou Chen gave him a lot of talisman paper in the past few days, which was enough for him.
After reaching the third level, he plans to practice the Fu Seal Technique to the fourth level before entering the Puppet Secret Realm. However, this is a bit difficult. However, Zhang Erbao has already experienced the benefits of the Fu Seal Technique. There are many types of Fu Seal Technique, including those used to attack the enemy and others.
To strengthen yourself, through continuous practice, master the use of talismans and seals, and properly match your own stealth assassination techniques, you can achieve unexpected results.
Zhou Lianyi was studying the middle chapter of "Formation Experience" that Zhou Chen had just given him. It recorded many fifth-level and sixth-level formation methods, including some skills and knowledge that are worth learning. In this four-person group
Among them, Zhou Zhouchen is the core, Liu Dahai is a physical practitioner who can block the front, Zhang Erbao is an assassin, his instant killing skills will bring huge psychological pressure to the enemy, and Zhou Lianyi is the weakest among the four.
However, as long as his formation can be used with enough time, its power and enemy-killing efficiency are definitely not weak, so Zhou Lianyi is also very clear about his position in the team.
"Dahai, this is for you." Zhou Chen took out a rubbing martial arts secret book from the ring. It was the "Seven Turns of Thunder Dragon Body". He had not given it to Liu Dahai before because Zhou Chen himself had not practiced it.
, I don’t know if it’s suitable for Liu Dahai, and I haven’t found the place where thunder gathers yet.
Liu Dahai took the secret book and opened it page by page, looking at it carefully. His face was full of surprise. He could see that this secret book was extraordinary.
"This is a body-refining technique. It is very strong. It will be of great help to you in improving your physical strength. After we arrive at Thunder Cloud City, you will go to the Thunder Cloud Mountains to practice and withstand the thunder with your current physical strength.
There should be no problem in tempering your strength. I have made detailed notes on it. It can at least help you to cultivate to the second level, and we will wait for you in Qinglan City." Zhou Chen patted Liu Dahai's generous shoulder,
said.
Liu Dahai nodded solemnly. From a certain point of view, Zhou Chen was not only his brother, but also one of his martial arts instructors. Zhou Chen had not only been thinking of ways to activate the power of his bloodline, but also taught "
"Jiba Fist", and now teaches "Seven Turns of Thunder Dragon Body", and even made many annotations on it, which helped him avoid many detours during practice. Liu Dahai was very grateful for this. Since his master left,
Zhou Chen was the only person who treated him like this.
But Zhou Chen doesn't care about this. Liu Dahai is a very pure person and doesn't have so many twists and turns. Since he regards himself as a friend, Zhou Chen also hopes that everyone can grow together and support each other. He doesn't
He hopes that he will be lonely on his martial arts journey. He wants to have friends, including Ye Qingyao.
…
After several days of flying, Yunzhou docked at Leiyun City. The last time he passed through Leiyun City, Zhou Chen didn't really visit this city that mainly focused on smelting. It was the same this time. He just said goodbye to Liu Dahai.
After that, they continued to take the Yunzhou boat, and their next destination was Qinglan City.
…
A few days later, Yunzhou arrived at Yunlan City.
Yunlan City is a second-level town in the Shenyun Empire, but it is no less prosperous than a first-level town. It is not far from the border, and merchant trade is developed. It is the central city where the Shenyun Empire trades materials with merchants from other border countries. Shenyun
In order to ensure the trade attributes of this city, the empire allows all parties to establish trading points or shops here, but cannot set up sect branches. Therefore, Yunlan City can only be regarded as a second-level city, but its size and population are the same as those of a first-level city.
no difference.
As the representative of the trade organization, Tianbao Pavilion will naturally set up its own branch in Yunlan City. Moreover, the Tianbao Pavilion branch in Qinglan City is located in the most prosperous location and is also the most conspicuous building on this street.
Zhou Chen and the others did not spend much time to find Tianbao Pavilion. Zhou Chen did not waste time in the past few days and has been refining elixirs. Three hundred bottles of Dazzling Pattern Cave Heaven elixir, ten furnaces an hour, excluding some rest time a day, he refined
After a hundred furnaces, people almost become stupid from practicing.
Zhou Chen is about to go to the Puppet Secret Realm. He doesn’t know how long he will go, so he wants to deliver this batch of Dazzling Pattern Cave Heaven Pills to Yu Lingyun as soon as possible, and exchange some spiritual stones for purchasing a batch of supplies. Now he not only has to support himself, but also three other people.
A friend, a monster, a soul, all need to be fed by him alone.
The three of them walked into the Tianbao Pavilion hall. This Tianbao Pavilion hall is very spacious, gorgeously decorated, and has an endless stream of customers. Compared with the branch pavilion in Qingyang City, it is a completely different scene.
The person in charge of the display cabinet of this branch of Tianbao Pavilion is Xue Fu, a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he is only about four years old, Xue Fu has a shiny face, a big belly, a round waist and a thick neck. It seems that in this Qinglan City,
It was very moisturizing.
After Zhou Chen handed Zika to Shopkeeper Xue, the three of them were led into a luxurious box. Zhou Chen directly took out the small ring containing three hundred bottles of the Dazzling Pattern Cave Heaven Pill and placed it on the table.
"Here are the elixirs promised to your young lady. Please check them out."
"My lady has already given instructions. Mr. Zhou's elixirs do not need to be inspected and can be stored directly in the warehouse." Xue Fu took the ring and said respectfully.
"No need to check?"
Last time at the branch pavilion in Qingyang City, Mr. Mo didn't check it. Zhou Chen could understand. After all, he was the most trusted person around Yu Lingyun. Unexpectedly, he didn't check the display cabinets of the Qinglan City branch pavilion. Zhou Chen thought to himself that this Tianbao Pavilion
Do you trust yourself so much?
"Yes, according to what the young lady said, the transaction with Mr. Zhou is the young lady's personal matter and not the channel of Tianbao Pavilion. Therefore, our branch is only responsible for receiving the items and has no qualifications to inspect the items. In addition, the spiritual stones settled with the young master are also from
Transfer it to the young lady's personal account. The young lady has instructed that Mr. Zhou can advance the payment for the goods and then make the settlement next time."
Zhou Chen nodded, and probably understood why Yu Lingyun made such arrangements. It was probably to protect "Mr. Huangtian". After all, if the news of hundreds of bottles of dazzling grain pills being refined in a month was spread, I don't know how much trouble it would cause.
It may bring a lot of trouble to Zhou Chen. In order to prevent the loss of the fragrance of the medicine, Zhou Chen always leaves his own unique prohibitions in the acceptance ring every time he trades. Therefore, Yu Lingyun can use the prohibitions to judge whether someone has been cheated.
It has been opened, which is why the branch storekeepers dare not open it for inspection.
Zhou Chen thought this was good. At least he could purchase what he needed now instead of waiting for the elixirs to be auctioned off. Yu Lingyun was still very thoughtful. Although she had some unpleasant troubles with Yu Lingyun in the Leiyun Mountains before,
However, her later behavior still improved Zhou Chen's impression of her a lot. Zhou Chen didn't care about it. After all, the relationship with Yu Lingyun was just a collaboration with Yu Lingyun, as long as the cooperation was pleasant.
"Then how much can I advance?"
"Miss said that this batch of elixirs can be used to advance 300 million low-grade spiritual stones. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is satisfied?"
"Three hundred million?" Zhou Lianyi couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror when he heard this number. However, Zhang Erbao was not particularly surprised. He seemed to have seen big events, but he was also a little surprised. What kind of pill was Zhou Chen trading?
It was so valuable. Of course, he didn't know that there were three hundred bottles of elixirs in it.
"Then 300 million." Zhou Chen said calmly. In fact, Zhou Chen knew the final transaction price. 300 million must be more than 300 million, but this is just an advance payment. Zhou Chen didn't care, but Mr. Mo should have informed him.
Yu Lingyun will trade the Dazzling Pattern Cave Heaven Pill next, otherwise it would be impossible to advance so much.
Xue Fu bowed his hands and walked out of the box with the purple card.
"Pervert Zhou, what kind of elixir is that? It's so expensive to buy." Zhou Lianyi asked Zhou Chen curiously with a look of surprise on her face.
"There are three hundred bottles of elixirs in there. It took me several days and almost exhausted me." Zhou Chen said angrily. The Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl can replenish his mental power, but this constant consumption is constant.
The supplementation process is quite grueling.
The two of them were also a little speechless. It only took a few days to refine three hundred bottles of elixirs. What kind of light-speed alchemy method is this? Moreover, they had earned so many spiritual stones in just a few days, and they were still tired there.
A little speechless.
After a while, Xue Fu returned to the box and handed the purple card to Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, 300 million spiritual stones have been transferred to the card. If you need anything else, just let me know."
"Please help me see if I have these things first." Zhou Chen took the purple card and handed Xue Fu a piece of paper with the names of several items written on it.
Xue Fu took it and looked at it, frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou, we basically have everything you want here, except for this ten kilogram soul stone."
"You don't have soul stones here." Zhou Chen looked a little ugly. This ten kilogram soul stone was given by Lie Tianzun, and it is a very important item after entering the puppet secret realm.
"It's not that there aren't any, but it's not that big. Our store only has one soul stone weighing five kilograms. Look..."
"Buy it first." Lie Tianzun said in Zhou Chen's ear.
"Then give me this five kilogram soul stone first."
"Then I'll go prepare. It will take some time. Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. If you are bored, you can go to the Treasure Building of our Tianbao Pavilion. There are various grades of items on display. If you want to go, talk to the maid at the door.
Just give me an explanation." After Xue Fu said that, he turned around and left the box.
"Do you want to go take a look?" Zhou Chen said to Zhou Lianyi and Zhang Erbao.
"Go, it's just free time anyway." Zhou Lianyi said.
"Then let's go." Zhou Chen and the others left the box and walked towards the Treasure Building that Xue Fu mentioned.
The Jubao Tower is located in the inner courtyard of Tianbao Pavilion. It is an independent building. According to the introduction from the maid of Tianbao Pavilion, there are four floors in the Jubao Pavilion. There is no requirement to enter the first floor. You must have a silver card to enter the second floor.
You must hold a gold card to enter the third floor, and you must hold a purple card to enter the fourth floor. With Zhou Chen's authority, you can enter the fourth floor. In fact, some larger Tianbao Pavilion branches also have a fifth floor, so
It is a permission requirement for diamond cards, and only customers with a stock of more than one billion spiritual stones in Tianbao Pavilion can enter.
It is said that the items on the fifth floor of the Treasure Building are extremely valuable treasures brought from the Central Continent. The prices are extremely high and cannot be purchased by ordinary people, so it is reasonable to set such a requirement. After all, Qinglan City is only a second-tier city.
A level town mainly deals in material transactions and does not have any big influence. There is no practical significance in setting up a fifth level here.
Zhou Chen and several other people were surprised when they entered the first floor of Jubao Building. The interior space of the first floor of Jubao Building was huge. Thousands of rows of shelves were neatly arranged. The products displayed on them were so dazzling that everyone could see them. If it weren’t for the introduction by the maid next to them, Zhou Chen
It would take half a day for everyone in the morning to visit the first floor, but the maid said that the products on the first and second floors are only for ordinary customers, and it is recommended that they go directly to the third floor.
There are not as many items on the third floor as there are on the first floor, but this is normal. The items displayed here are not mass merchandise, but are all high-quality items.
"Let's go shopping separately. If you like anything, just give it to the maid and we can do it together later." Zhou Chen said to the two of them.
"Okay, Boss Zhou, let me go and choose." Zhou Lianyi happily ran towards the shelves alone.
Zhang Erbao also nodded to Zhou Chen and went shopping by himself.
"Boy, go look at the rows of shelves in front of you to your right."
When Zhou Chen saw Lie Tianzun speaking, he felt happy in his heart. Normally, Lie Tianzun would only speak when he found something good. Ordinary things could not enter his eyes.
Zhou Chen came to those shelves, and the maid next to him followed him. According to the maid's introduction, the shelves here are specially placed for spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and spiritual fruits, and the whole plants are cultivated in porcelain pots.
Soil is a special kind of soil, specially used to cultivate spiritual materials, keep the spiritual materials growing continuously, and needs to be replaced regularly, so these spiritual materials are alive, and the medicinal power can not only be retained, but also continue to grow. I purchased it from Tianbao Pavilion before.
The spiritual materials bought outside are all picked and need special preservation, but even then the medicinal power will be lost. Tianbao Pavilion's method can perfectly preserve the medicinal power, even if it cannot be sold for a long time, it doesn't matter.
"Buy this entire shelf." Lie Tianzun said calmly.
"A whole shelf?" Zhou Chen's face was startled. Is this a vegetable market for buying vegetables?
"What? Too little? Then buy a whole row of shelves." Lie Tianzun said angrily.
"Teacher, I can't afford it. This shelf is full of sixth-level spiritual materials. Why don't I buy a row of them?" Zhou Chen didn't know the price of these spiritual materials, but he could tell that these spiritual materials were at least fifth-level and sixth-level spiritual materials.
grade level.
"Sometimes you are very shrewd, and sometimes you are stupid as hell. These sixth-level spiritual materials are only a hundred years old at most, and they are not yet mature. How expensive can they be? They are already worth hundreds of millions, and their ideas are still so poor. According to me
I said I would just buy it all.”
"You mean to transplant them into the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl?" Zhou Chen suddenly realized.
"You're not so stupid that there is no cure. Look at how the Blue Youguo plant that was transplanted before has grown into now. It was originally just a Blue Youguo seedling that was about a hundred years old, but now it has grown into a thousand-year-old tree.
, and it is constantly evolving every day. If you transplant all these spiritual materials into the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl, you won’t have to worry about material issues when making alchemy in the future."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he was overjoyed and said directly to the maid: "I want this whole row of spiritual materials."
The maid looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. Although there were usually many people buying spiritual materials, they all chose to buy according to their own needs. She had never seen a nouveau riche like Zhou Chen buying them in rows. After all,
This row of spiritual materials is at least fifth grade, and the price is not low. However, the maid didn't say anything and went directly to check the shelves, with an excited smile on her face. If all these spiritual materials were sold, she would be able to get it.
A hefty commission.
However, Zhou Chen was shocked by the price quoted by the maid. It actually required 100 million spiritual stones. This was even at a 10% discount on Zika, but Zhou Chen could still afford it. With these spiritual materials, he could still use
Are you worried about not having the spirit stone?
Zhou Chen paid off the spiritual stones and put all the spiritual materials directly into the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl. However, it is not convenient to transplant them one by one now, so he can only continue to grow them in the porcelain basin. The ground inside the Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl is
Soil, this soil is as black as ink, and Zhou Chen doesn't know what kind of special soil it is, but if spiritual materials are to be cultivated, they must be transplanted into this black soil.
Xiao Hei was stunned when he saw Zhou Chen had brought so many spiritual plants in, but he was still very excited. The Jiutian Hunyuan Pearl was really empty, there was nothing, there was only one Blue Nether Fruit Tree, Xiao Hei was a monster after all.
, likes to stay in deep jungles and mountains with dense vegetation. Usually it can only find a sense of the jungle when sleeping under this tree. And this blue you fruit tree was just a sapling before, but now it has grown into a tree.
It's a big tree.
Zhou Chen took inventory and found that there were more than 3,000 fifth-grade spiritual materials and more than 2,000 sixth-grade spiritual materials. There were more than 500 categories. Zhou Chen inherited Lie Tianzun’s alchemy experience and could basically recognize them.
As for the types of spiritual materials, Zhou Chen will not need to go to such trouble to purchase them when making elixirs in the future. There is a big medicine garden in his belly, and this medicine garden is inexhaustible. Zhou Chen only needs to leave the roots when picking each time he makes elixirs.
They will continue to grow, but transplanting these spiritual materials one by one is also a big project, and Lie Tianzun will definitely not do this work. Zhou Chen can only ignore them for now and withdraw from Jiutian.
