Lord of Bones

Chapter 585 Longshan Tan Family
The auctions are held monthly and cross countless towns, like a grand traveling feast.

During the free time between each auction, shops and merchants in the streets and alleys fill the emptiness like a steady flow of water.

They not only provide opportunities for those Yuan practitioners who are still young and have limited funds, but also provide convenience for those powerful people who are powerful but lack specific resources.

This is not only a clever business layout, but also a detailed insight into the diverse needs of Yuanzhe.

In these dazzling shops, it is not uncommon to find low-grade Mysterious Pills with three lines, and occasionally you can even see Taixu Mysterious Pills and Nirvana Pills with two lines.

What makes Li Yuan a little disappointed is that the high-grade and special Xuan Dan with three lines are nowhere to be found.

If he wants to accumulate wealth through refining medicine, he may need to turn his attention to more rare treasure pills.

Fortunately, Li Yuan's current cultivation level is at the peak of the mid-stage Yuanshen Realm, and his strength is enough to support him in refining higher-level elixirs.

Compared with when he was in Qinggu Continent, it was no longer so difficult for him to refine the treasure pill now.

Therefore, he made up his mind to turn his searching eyes to those corners where treasures might be hidden.

However, the reality was not what he expected.

In this bustling market, Li Yuan found no trace of the precious medicine.

Disappointed, he can only pin his hopes on the upcoming auction.

Although there was no precious medicine to buy, Li Yuan did not give up.

He began to ask around about which elixirs were popular here.

Considering that there are many strong people in the Yuanshen Realm here, he pays special attention to those pills that can help improve the cultivation of the Yuanshen Realm.

For example, Taixu Xuandan, similar to that used in the Nirvana realm, is of course a rare elixir that can help the powerful in the Yuanshen realm to take a further step.

In the depths of the memory given by the spirit, Li Yuan captured the names of some elixirs, but no prescriptions or elixirs existed.

His alchemy refining skills have reached a state of perfection. Even without a complete elixir recipe, he is confident that he can figure out the secret of elixir refining based only on the prescription and his own thinking.

Li Yuan didn't find out about elixirs similar to Taixu Xuandan that were suitable for the Yuanshen realm, but there were pills that could break through from the Nirvana realm to the Yuanshen realm.

Among them, Xuan Wang Bao Dan was mentioned the most.

This elixir is a superior elixir, known as a rare treasure, and is priceless in the market.

It is said that only the core disciples of the Seven Wenhe Sects have the opportunity to obtain it.

And its elixir is even more priceless.

In order to find clues about Xuan Wang Bao Dan, Li Yuan shuttled between various stores and patiently asked every possible insider.

Finally, after countless inquiries, he got some valuable information.

In this auction, there is actually a treasure for refining Xuan Wang's treasure pill.

Although we still don’t know which kind of treasure it is, as long as there is a Yuan who auctions it, it means that there is a Yuan who knows the secrets.

The reason why Li Yuan is so obsessed with refining medicine is not just to make a fortune.

The main reason is that every time he looks up at the sky, he can easily see thunderclouds.

It shows that there are obviously a lot of alchemists on the Huangxuan Yuanzhou.

But no elixir has been seen falling so far, which means that there are no alchemists refining elixirs here.

Therefore, Li Yuan made up his mind to spend the time before the auction started refining medicine.

…………

The night is getting darker.

The street lights flickered in the night, but Li Yuan still did not stop.

He seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and he walked until late at night, still feeling that he still had more to say.

It was getting dark and he had to find an inn to stay.

On Yuanzhou, the most luxurious inns were opened by the five major families.

Li Yuan specially chose Tan's inn in Longshan.

He heard that although the Longshan Tan family ranked last among the five major families, the quality of service was excellent, and it was convenient for him to find out information about Ziquan Tan.

Tan's Inn in Longshan is decorated with dazzling jewels and jewels.

As soon as he stepped inside, Teng Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This is not an auction, it's obviously a business."

Li Yuan responded with a chuckle: "Auction is a business, and it is also the most profitable business."

The two of them were looking around when suddenly a pretty woman came up to her and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Li Yuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Yes, let's stay in the hotel."

The beautiful woman introduced: "Sir, the rooms in our inn are divided into three categories: heaven, earth and human beings. Which one do you want to choose?"

Li Yuan calmly asked: "What are the differences between the three types of rooms?"

He doesn't want to spend too much on this, after all, he is not rich now.

The beautiful woman smiled coquettishly and said: "In addition to the different room environment, if you choose a room of two levels, heaven and earth, you can get some information about the auction in advance.

“If you are interested in participating in the auction, these two classes of rooms are undoubtedly a better choice.

"In addition, Tianzhong's room is not only a distinguished guest on the Huangxuan Yuanzhou, but also a distinguished guest of my Longshan Tan family."

After hearing this, Li Yuan thought for a moment and said decisively: "Then two heavenly rooms."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman apologized and said, "I'm very sorry, Master.

“The number of first-class rooms in our inn is limited, only eight.

"Now that the auction is approaching, there is only the last room left."

Upon seeing this, Teng Qing immediately bowed his head and said to Li Yuan: "Master, I don't need to live in such a good room alone, I am here to serve you.

"If you have the opportunity to get close to someone from the Longshan Tan family, don't miss it."

In the latter sentence, she transmitted the message to Li Yuan.

Hearing this, Li Yuan pretended to frown slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "A heavenly room, that's it."

The smile on the beautiful woman's face grew stronger, and she led Li Yuan and Teng Qing to the counter.

As she walked, she introduced: "The daily cost of a Tianzhuang room is three hundred Xuanyuan stones. How long do you plan to stay there?"

Li Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly in his heart.

The threshold for becoming a guest of Longshan Tan's is really not low. No wonder the number of first class rooms is limited.

But in order to find out the news about Ziquan Tan, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

If you are reluctant to part with Yuan Shi, you will not be able to enter Ziquan Tan.

During the process of checking in, Li Yuan accidentally heard that the price of waiting for a room was only three Xuanyuan stones per day, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

The price difference is so huge that it’s jaw-dropping.

Three Xuanyuan stones are not a small amount for ordinary Yuan practitioners, and many Yuan practitioners in the Nirvana realm will hesitate because of this.

There were also a lot of complaints around, and many Yuan Zhe left with dissatisfaction because of the high price of Tan's Inn.

There are other inns to choose from on the Yuanzhou. A cheap stay for a day only costs a few top-quality Yuan stones. It is undoubtedly a more cost-effective choice for those merchants who come to Yuanzhou to pick up leaks.

Merchants often stay on Yuan Zhou for several years, their goal is to find those precious Yuan treasures that have been overlooked.

Just the cost of boarding the Yuanzhou has already made them feel distressed, so they will definitely not waste the Yuan Stone on other aspects.

Li Yuan looked at the merchants leaving and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone has their own goals and pursuits, and for different purposes, everyone is willing to pay different prices.

And he, in order to enter Ziquan Tan, could only accept a high price.

"Wen Shu, take these two distinguished guests to Tianzhu Cuiyuan."

The beautiful woman's clear and sweet voice echoed in the hall.

She waved to the hall, and a woman in a purple dress walked over.

The woman in purple clothes has skin as white as jade, and her long black hair hangs down to her waist, swaying gently.

Her appearance is even more stunning, and she is also a first-class beauty.

Although the purple-clothed woman's aura was well concealed, Li Yuan could still feel the aura emanating from her body. She was obviously at the peak of the mid-stage Yuanshen Realm.

The woman's age is almost the same as that of Li Yuan, which shows that this woman's status in the Longshan Tan family is extraordinary.

"Sir, please come with me." The purple-clothed woman's voice was soft, like the sound of nature. She turned around gracefully and led Li and Yuan towards the depths of the inn.

While walking, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Is the girl from the Tan family of Longshan?"

The woman in purple nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her lips: "Yes, sir.

"My name is Tan Wenshu, you can also call me Wenshu.

"There are eight courtyards in the Heavenly Room, named after Youfang, Yuxue, Yueying, Morning Dew, Xiangyun, Yelan, Plum Rhyme and Bamboo Cui, each with its own characteristics."

When Li Yuan heard this, his heart moved and he continued to ask: "I heard that the guests staying in the Tianzang Room are the distinguished guests of the Longshan Tan family.

"I wonder if we have a chance to visit the Tan family in Longshan?"

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Tan Wenshu's eyes, and then he said softly: "Of course.

"If the young master is interested and is not in a hurry, I will personally invite the young master to visit the Tan family when we arrive at Longshan City."

She paused and then added: "It's just that the road to Longshan City is still far away. Although our Yuanzhou flies very fast, it will take more than forty days to arrive..."

As Tan Wenshu told it, Li Yuan became more and more curious about the Tan family in Longshan.

Just thinking about the cost of a first class room, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Calculated based on the time, the price of a room is equivalent to a top-grade mysterious artifact.

While talking, they followed Tan Wenshu's lead and came to two guards wearing the Tan family's emblem.

Tan Wenshu nodded gently to the two of them, and the two guards immediately took a step to the side in tacit agreement. The door behind them slowly opened, and a short-distance teleportation array appeared quietly in front of them.

This elemental formation is very different from what Li Yuan has seen before. The inscription technique is extremely delicate, and it is obviously the hand of a skilled treasure formation master.

When Li Yuan stepped into the Yuan Formation, he felt a slight shaking in the space, and the scenery in front of him changed instantly.

When he stood firm, he found that he was already in a spacious hall.

The hall is octagonal in shape, with an area of ​​about thirty feet square and a height of nearly twenty feet, giving people an open and comfortable feeling.

The hall is full of flowers, with all kinds of precious flowers blooming, and the fragrance is fragrant.

The surrounding decoration is also extremely elegant, and it can be seen that Tan really put a lot of effort into creating a Tianzhong room.

Li Yuan secretly admired that the Longshan Tan family was indeed a big family, even the inn was so luxurious.

There are eight three-foot-wide doors opening in eight directions of the hall, and a huge plaque hangs above each door.

They are written respectively as "Youfang", "Jade Snow", "Moon Shadow", "Morning Dew", "Fragrant Rhyme", "Yelan", "Plum Rhyme" and "Bamboo Green".

Next to the door stood two maids in uniform costumes. They were smiling and waiting for the arrival of every distinguished guest.

Li Yuan looked around and said to himself: "This Longshan Tan family really knows how to do business.

“Not only are the rooms luxurious and comfortable, but the service is also so thoughtful and meticulous.”

Tan Wenshu raised her jade finger lightly and pointed in the direction of Zhucui Courtyard, her voice flowing like a clear spring: "Master, where is your room, I will send you here.

"If you need anything, just tell them.

"While staying at the hotel, if you need a guide on the Huangxuan Yuanzhou, you can also come to me.

"This is the key to the room.

"If there is no other need, then Wen Shu will leave first."

"Miss Tan, please."

Li Yuan took the delicate key, which was inlaid with tiny jade stones and shone with a faint light.

Tan Wenshu bowed slightly, like a blooming violet, elegant and reserved, then turned around and exited the hall lightly.

Li Yuan held the key and walked slowly towards the door.

With a soft "squeak", the door slowly opened, and what came into view was a quiet and deep courtyard.

The bamboo forest in the small courtyard is swaying and green, as if you are in a sea of ​​​​green.

The courtyard is not only spacious, but also elegantly laid out, enough to accommodate several people.

"Teng Qing, you can choose a room to live in at will." Li Yuan turned to Teng Qing and said, "Remember, the underground treasure can no longer be used easily."

Teng Qing nodded slightly and looked at Li Yuan's posture, which didn't look like he was about to enter the courtyard, so he asked, "Are you planning to go out?"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Tan Wenshu's status in the Tan family should not be low.

"With her talent, she is probably a disciple of the Seven Wenhe Sects.

“If she comes from Tianyun Sect, there will be trouble.

"I plan to find out the details of Tan's family first."

Teng Qing warned: "Then you should be careful."

Then she added: "I will also try to find out who lives in the other courtyards of Tianzang Fang later."

Li Yuan took out a black robe from the Yun Ring and quickly put it on, then closed his eyes, and his soul power slowly spread out like ripples.

After a moment, Yuan patterns appeared above the bamboo forest, trembling slightly, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

At a certain place, a tiny crack quietly appeared, and Li Yuan's body swayed into it like a ghost.

The crack then closed, as if it had never existed.

.........

There is a little-known dark layer hidden between the heavenly rooms and the underground rooms of Tan's Inn.

The dark layer seems to be a mysterious realm that is difficult for ordinary Yuan people to detect.

At this moment, in a room on the dark floor, a dozen figures were sitting quietly in different positions.

They all wear the Tan family emblem on their chests, and they are all the elites of the Tan family.

Among these figures, Tan Wenshu, who had just separated from Li Yuan, was also among them.

She was sitting at the side, holding her chin lightly with her jade hands, and was listening carefully.

"Have all the identities of the guests from the Fourth Courtyard who recently stayed in the Tianzhu Room been investigated?" asked the old woman sitting at the front.

"Only the identities of the two people who have just moved into Tiandeng Zhucuiyuan are unknown, and there is no information about them in the previous information." Someone responded below.

The old woman frowned and immediately asked: "Who brought those two people?"
