I forced the master to be the leader

Chapter 9 Nanjie Firm
There is a brass lock hanging horizontally on the door of Xiaodanfeng courtyard, and there is a note written on yellow paper on the door:
"Kind tips:
The elders and disciples of this peak have all gone out to practice. If there are customers who want to buy elixir, please wait for the next batch.

Xiao Danfeng said. "

……

On the rugged mountain road of Tieling Ancient Road, the dew on the roadside weeds and shrubs has not yet dried out.

A newly dressed master and apprentice were on their way down the mountain. The master walked ahead with his hands behind his back, looking calm and relaxed.

The apprentice chased after him with all his strength. He, who originally only had third-level spiritual power, was carrying a huge burden...

In the luggage, apart from the change of clothes for the master and the apprentice, there are also pills in stock at Xiaodanfeng, silver taels that the master has saved for decades, and some things that the master thinks are valuable...

Jiang Daqiao felt that he had already carried most of Xiaodanfeng's family fortune on this trip.

When going out, he asked the ore elder if he was sure he wanted to bring so many belongings. In his impression, Xiaodanfeng had never been a thief. After all, it was the site of Tiejianmen. idea?

The ore elder answered him this way, "Everything must be foolproof!"

Well, my master has this personality, too conservative, too timid... In short, it is a small structure.

As for why the master and apprentice went out so early, it was not because of the urgency of time, but because the ore elder always chose an auspicious time when he went out to do errands.

After walking for about an hour on the rugged mountain road, I finally came out of the Tieling Ancient Road, and the official road leading to the county town suddenly opened up in front of me.

This is a road, a real road for horses.

"Ma'am, miss, is it convenient for me to take a ride?"

"Good old man, can you take us, master and apprentice, for a while?"

"To the direction of the county, we will give you money!"

……

Although the ore elder insisted that he had never heard of "hitchhiking" for most of his life.

But Jiang Daqiao was still determined, and he would stop every car he saw along the way. With his hard work, the master and apprentice finally got on an open ox cart heading to the county town.

It has to be mentioned that the status of the "Waifeng" is low. In fact, there are carriages in the sect, and there are also four-horse carriages covered by luxury cars. When the elders in the sect go out to do business, they can go to the main hall to find relevant deacons to arrange Corresponding level of carriage.

As for why my master didn't apply for a carriage... Well, forget it, let's talk about the Zongmen's customized waist badge first.

……

As the official road gets wider and wider, there are more and more village houses on both sides.

The scene in front of me is quite different from the Twelve Peaks of Iron Sword Gate. The tall and majestic city walls, the guards in armor...

After entering the city gate, there are several streets in front of you. There are restaurants, restaurants, cooking pots, teahouses, silk and satin shops, pawnshops, treasure bureaus, and a theater...

Although Jiang Daqiao had come to the county for the fourth time, he was still very excited about everything here. This was the capital of Guanxi County and the largest city in the Western Region of the Nantu Empire.

After getting out of the bullock cart, the ore elder explained Jiang Daqiao carefully: "When you arrive in the county town, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must be safe in everything..."

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Daqiao responded, but he had another plan in his heart...

During this trip to the county, he had to quietly make some "trouble" for the ore elders, practice courage for his master, and at the same time "find out" his master's true strength.

According to the arrangement of the ore elder, the master and the apprentice simply ate a bowl of noodles on the street, and then went straight to the South Boundary Trading Company.

The Southern Boundary Trading Company is one of the most famous trading companies in the Nantu Empire, and it is also a trading company exclusively for people in the gas refining industry.

Jiang Daqiao yelled at the two men at the door: "Is your treasurer Zhuang Da here? Let's just say that the elder from Tiejianmen is here."

"okay!"

Seeing that the two were dressed brightly, especially the disciple who was full of style, one of the clerks greeted loudly: "Welcome to Nanjie Trading Company, VIPs are welcome!"

Another guy quickly reported inside.

This is Jiang Daqiao's consistent style. The bigger the venue, the more he has to show his own posture.

After a while, a fat shopkeeper with a smile came out quickly from the room, saw Jiang Daqiao and quickly bowed:

"Oh, isn't this Jiang Daxia from Iron Sword Gate? Good tea is served in the private seat in the inner room!"

Jiang Daqiao was careless, and returned the salute slightly: "Shopkeeper Zhuang, you are polite. This is what I mentioned to you. My mentor, the elder Ore, is one of the twelve elders of the Iron Sword Gate."

Boss Zhuang hurriedly turned around and bowed to the elder of the ore: "I have been admiring for a long time, please come to the elder of the ore!"

Entering the inner room, immediately there is a waiter offering fragrant tea to the master and the apprentice.

After exchanging pleasantries, the ore elder couldn't wait to see the new stove.

Shopkeeper Zhuang naturally did not dare to be negligent. Although the Iron Sword Sect is not one of the seven sects, it is also a well-known sect on the Nantu Continent. He immediately asked an old craftsman to lead the way, and personally took the two masters and apprentices to choose the alchemy furnace .

The four of them went down a secret door and down the wooden stairs to the underground warehouse of the Southern Boundary Trading Company.

Although it is an underground warehouse, there seems to be a breeze when walking in it, and there are spirit stone lamps lit on the stone walls, so there is no sense of stuffiness and crampedness.

In a corner of the warehouse, there were all kinds of alchemy furnaces, medicine cauldrons, sword casting furnaces, and some large utensils that Jiang Daqiao didn't know about.

When Jiang Daqiao saw the earth-level alchemy furnace, he was immediately disappointed. There was a black alchemy furnace in front of him, and the furnace was one size smaller than the one eliminated by Xiao Danfeng...

The old craftsman following behind shopkeeper Zhuang had no choice but to patiently explain that it was made of high-quality black gold;

The pill furnace is not bigger and more expensive, on the contrary, the higher the grade, the smaller the furnace...

Jiang Daqiao walked around the stove a few times, but he really couldn't see any way out. He rolled his eyes, and suddenly said to Shopkeeper Zhuang seriously: "Shopkeeper Zhuang, let's talk first, so don't use a second-hand stove to fool you." We, master and apprentice!"

Shopkeeper Zhuang was stunned for a moment, probably the first time a customer asked such a question, and quickly said: "How come there are second-hand stoves? Please rest assured, Jiang Shaoxia, all the pill stoves in our bank are brand new, and we have never sold any second-hand pills. furnace!"

When the ore elder saw this earth-level alchemy furnace, he felt like he had found a treasure. He fumbled here and there, wishing he could get himself into the furnace to see what happened.

How to start the fire?
Will the alchemy furnace and fire-attribute medicinal materials conflict?
How to control the fire with spiritual power?
Is there any special attention to be paid to the process of fading the fire during the core formation stage...

The elder of the ore asked endlessly, and the treasurer Zhuang Da and the old craftsman answered tirelessly beside him.

Jiang Daqiao got dizzy the more he listened, so he asked his master for an excuse and went upstairs.

Professional matters should be handled by professional people. I didn't expect that refining a pill would be so complicated.

Obviously, I still overestimated the degree of automation of the prefecture-level pill furnace.

According to Jiang Daqiao's original idea, after Xiao Danfeng used the earth-level alchemy furnace, he only needed to put the required alchemy materials into the furnace according to the weight ratio, and then he could wait for the alchemy to come out...

It now seems far from the case.

Jiang Daqiao frowned slightly. It seemed that the matter of refining "Dark Fragrance No. [-]" had to be re-planned...

The first floor of the Nanjie Commercial Bank mainly sells alchemy and qi refining materials, the second floor sells pills and spirit stones, and the third floor sells weapons and kung fu secrets.

But this was not where Jiang Daqiao was going.

For this martial arts firm in another world, Jiang Daqiao is already familiar with the way, he knows that the truly rare treasures of heaven and earth will not be put on the shelves for sale.

After wandering around for a while, he went directly to the Hero Treasure Fair on the fourth floor.

The so-called Hero Treasure Selling Club, as the name suggests, means that knights on the rivers and lakes will give their swords, treasures of heaven and earth, and treasures to commercial banks in exchange for some silver when they are short of money.

When Jiang Daqiao first heard Xiaoer's introduction, he was puzzled: "There are so many heroes living on the streets?"

Xiao Er told him this way: "It's just a high-sounding statement, the origin of these treasures...hehe you understand!"

Jiang Daqiao didn't quite understand it. Based on his understanding of this different world, he could only speculate on the origin of some treasures, and I'm afraid not all of them were above board.

Going up to the fourth floor, the place is already full of people's voices, and the people standing behind stand on their toes to barely see what's going on inside.

Jiang Daqiao didn't squeeze in, he looked around with a smile, and immediately found a waiter, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it for him, the waiter immediately understood.

Not long after, Xiao Er was already on the left side of the front row, and arranged a temporary seat for Jiang Daqiao.

Like Blue Star, money is also a special pass in this world. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy special conveniences in the county town.

This is Jiang Daqiao's opinion. This is the most fortunate thing about being a "foreigner".
