Lord of Bones

Chapter 587 Xie Family, the Medicine Capital
The second elder snorted coldly: "Perhaps some Yuanbao can indeed achieve short-distance spatial teleportation.

“But in the dark layer formation, Jun Yulei’s clan still doesn’t have the ability to break through it quietly.

"Even if you are a strong person among the seven sects of Wenhe, it is not easy to do it."

She thought for a long time, and finally turned to Tan Wenshu and asked in a low voice: "You have been refusing to reveal who wants to use Ziling Valley before. It's time to tell it now, right?"

"Actually, it's Xue Yunsu." Tan Wenshu's voice contained a hint of hesitation.

A trace of surprise flashed in the second elder's eyes: "Yun Su?
"Did the old guy successfully attack the mid-stage transformation realm?"

"Yeah." Tan Wenshu nodded his chin and whispered, "But the price was huge, and his cultivation level dropped directly to the half-step transformation realm.

“It is said that it will take at least hundreds of years to recover.

"That's why she wanted to borrow our Tan family's Purple Spirit Valley."

The second elder sighed softly: "These old guys from the seven major sects often take the wrong approach in order to break through their cultivation and improve their strength. Purple Spirit Valley has naturally become a treasure in their eyes.

"However, the effect of entering the Purple Spirit Valley with a half-step pattern realm may be limited, not to mention that it has been used by others in the past few years."

Tan Wenshu said softly: "Ancestor Yun Su also knows this very well.

"She just wants to return to the realm of transformation and find other methods later."

The second elder frowned slightly and said worriedly: "I just hope that the person who appears tonight has nothing to do with Yun Su and is not her enemy.

"If anything happens to her in our Tan family, it will be troublesome.

"The other party wants to use our Tan family's things. Not only can we not refuse, but we must also do our best to ensure her safety."

Tan Wenshu had a solemn look on his face, knowing the importance of this matter.

Once handled improperly, it may cause Tan a lot of trouble.

.........

The huge moonstone above the Tiandeng Bamboo Cuiyuan sheds silver light, and through the sparse bamboo leaves, it sheds mottled light and shadow.

In a certain room in the courtyard, Teng Qing was pacing back and forth, the excitement on his face difficult to conceal.

She looked out the window from time to time, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"Teng Qing, you dazzled me. It will take at least forty days to reach Longshan City." Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, with a hint of worry in his brows, "We still have to pray that Tan Wenshu will go there. "

Teng Qing was startled when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What does it have to do with her?"

A glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes and he said: "She is a disciple of Blood Demon Lake.

"If a strong person in the Transformation Realm of Blood Fiend Lake wants to use Purple Spirit Valley, but doesn't want outsiders to know, she should be one of Tan's guards.

“This way we can know the location of Purple Spirit Valley.

"Otherwise, we are just two unknown people, why would anyone take us there?"

After listening to Li Yuan's explanation, Teng Qing showed a hint of understanding in his eyes, nodded slowly, and then sat down.

A worried look appeared on Teng Qing's old face, and he said: "Thunder Seal...that little girl has good strength and talent, what if she finds out."

Li Yuanxin said: "The thunder seal I planted is extremely hidden and difficult to detect.

"After taking the risk to fight with her for so long, there is still a lot of thunder energy left in her body, which is enough to interfere with the exploration of the strong."

Hearing this, Teng Qing's worries eased a little, and he asked again: "Then, what should we do next?"

Li Yuan stretched and scratched his head, a sly light flashed in his eyes: "There are still a few days until the auction, so I will stay in the house to refine the medicine.

"You go out every day, inquire about information, and get familiar with the environment. This is what a normal servant should do."

Teng Qing nodded and said with a wry smile: "I hope that little girl will really enter the Purple Spirit Valley."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out of Zhucui Courtyard alone.

After leaving Tan's Inn, the sun shone on her body, leaving a long shadow.

She took a deep breath of fresh air and felt everything around her.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and various sounds are intertwined.

Tengqing strolled on the street, looking at the surrounding buildings and people from time to time. Sometimes he stopped to chat with passers-by, and sometimes he walked into shops to browse.

.........

a few days later.

After finishing refining a furnace of elixirs, Li Yuan walked into the hall of the Tianzang Room.

He looked around and happened to see two people slowly walking out of Wangmei Courtyard.

Walking in front was an old man, about sixty years old, wearing a dark green robe, with a green-gray beard hanging down for more than a foot, exuding a fairy-like temperament.

Immediately behind the old man was a young man with a tall and straight body, fair complexion and no beard. He seemed to be younger than Tan Wenming, but his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Yuanshen realm.

Li Yuan learned something about Wangmei Courtyard from Teng Qing. It was the Xie family that ranked thirty-fourth among the top 100 medicine schools in Wenhe.

As if he felt someone was watching him, the old man's deep eyes slowly turned towards Li Yuan.

The two eyes met briefly in the air, and the old man frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

He was surprised that he could not detect the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Power on Li Yuan.

Although the frowning movement was fleeting, it was still keenly captured by Li Yuan. He felt a little embarrassed and then smiled.

Afterwards, several people came to the teleportation array in the hall.

What Li Yuan didn't expect was that the old man wearing a dark blue robe took the initiative to greet him: "I wonder which young talent my friend is from?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a thought flashed through his mind.

Building a good relationship with Mr. Xie may be helpful in the future.

He thought to himself that calling himself a nobody was obviously inappropriate and lacked weight.

Although the Li family of Longyang was not prominent, they were still among the hundreds of families in Wenhe, and they had some weight.

"Longyang Li family, Li Yuan." He responded quickly.

After hearing this, the old man smiled slightly and introduced himself: "Xie Shi, Xie Yiming, the capital of medicine."

The young man next to him also raised his hands respectfully and said, "Xie Shi, Xie Yao, the capital of medicine."

Li Yuanzheng was about to say a few polite words, but Xie Yiming said first: "Although I have reached the peak of the late Yuan Shen realm, I still cannot spy on my little friend's true cultivation.

"The Li family of Longyang is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There is such an extraordinary person among the younger generation.

"My little friend is able to stay in the Tian-class room of Tan's Inn, and there is also a servant who is at the peak of the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm. He must have a high status in the clan."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan suddenly understood that the other party was also secretly probing their details.

Li Yuan said with a somewhat humble smile: "Senior Xie is really good at joking. This kid is really insignificant in the clan.

"I just practice in seclusion all year round and rarely go out."

While the few people were talking, they had already passed through the teleportation array and arrived at the spacious and bright hall on the first floor.

The door slowly opened, and a graceful figure came into view.

Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly and he quietly investigated. The thunder mark planted by him on Tan Wenshu's body was still clear and had not been noticed or removed by anyone.

He felt a little relieved and then nodded slightly.

When Tan Wenshu saw this, he smiled like a spring breeze on his face and said softly: "Seeing that you haven't been out for a long time, I wanted to go upstairs to remind you that the auction will start tomorrow. Don't miss the time. "Thank you, senior, you... …? "Tan Wenshu's eyes turned from Li Yuan to Xie Yiming, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Xie Yiminglang smiled and said: "Haha, I just happened to meet little friend Li Yuan from the Li family in Longyang and chatted with him for a few words."

Longyang Li family?

When Tan Wenshu heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and his eyes focused on Li Yuan again.

She had never known where Li Yuan was from before.

Xie Yiming continued: "Miss Tan, we heard that there is an elixir identification meeting tonight, and we want to join in the fun. Could you please help us lead the way?"

Tan Wenshu nodded slightly and said softly: "Of course."

Then, she turned to Li Yuan and asked: "Li Yuan, do you want to go with us?"

Li Yuan bowed his hands and said, "Then there is Miss Lao Tan."

The four of them left Tan's Inn and got into an elegantly decorated hearse.

The vehicle started slowly and drove towards the end of the street.

In the car, Li Yuan knew nothing about the Alchemy Society, so he asked Tan Wenshu for advice.

Tan Wenshu smiled and began to introduce the details of the alchemy meeting to Li Yuan in detail.

As the name suggests, the Dan Dan Meeting is a grand event for identifying elixirs.

At the elixir identification meeting, there was a list with the names of three thousand elixirs, ranging from ordinary elixirs to mysterious elixirs.

Participants need to choose the name of the elixir they want to identify from this list.

Depending on the number of pills selected, participants will be divided into four challenge levels: A, B, C and D.

Among them, Ding level is the lowest level, and you only need to choose the names of three elixirs.

When the elixir identification meeting officially begins, the organizer will randomly select one elixir selected by the participants and put it into a special jade box.

Those who identify the elixir can only guess the name and quality of the elixir placed in it through the gaps left on the jade box and the scent of medicine or elixir coming from it.

Before the elixir identification begins, the audience present can place bets on whether the elixir discerner can successfully identify the elixir and its quality.

Placing a bet is as simple as choosing "right" or "wrong".

The betting threshold for Ding and others is relatively low, requiring only a thousand top-grade Yuan stones, with an upper limit of 10,000 times.

Because the difficulty is not high and the possibility of guessing wrong is extremely small, few Yuan players are willing to participate in betting. After all, the benefits are limited.

In contrast, Level C is the most common betting level.

Thirty Debate means selecting one of the thirty elixirs selected by the participants to identify. The betting threshold is ten Xuanyuan Stones and the upper limit is a thousand times.

Level B is relatively rare, with three hundred and one identification, that is, one of the three hundred types of elixirs selected by the participants is selected for identification. The betting threshold is as high as a thousand Xuanyuan Stones, and the upper limit is one hundred times.

As for Class A, it can be said to be a real challenge to the limit.

Participants do not select their own elixirs, but instead randomly select an elixir from all three thousand elixirs to identify.

No one has ever succeeded at this level on this boat.

The threshold for Class A bets is as high as ten Earth Element Stones, which can also be replaced by one hundred thousand Xuanyuan Stones, with the upper limit being only ten times.

Those who can participate in Class A betting are all those with prominent status and strong financial resources.

Those who participate in the elixir identification of Class C and Class D need to pay ten pieces of Xuanyuan Stone as the participation fee.

Once they can accurately tell the name and quality of the selected elixir, 20% of the profit from that round will belong to them.

Those who identify the elixir in the second class need to pay a thousand Xuanyuan stones, which is one of the reasons why there are relatively few participants in the second class.

In addition to the high difficulty, the probability of recovering Yuan Stone is also relatively low.

In each elixir identification meeting, each elixir discerner can only participate in a maximum of three sessions, and the list of elixirs selected in each session must be different.

Of course, except for Grade A Bendan.

The amount of yuan stones paid will also increase tenfold as the number of participations increases.

For second-level elixir discerners, they need to pay 10,000 Xuanyuan Stones for the second round, and up to 100,000 Xuanyuan Stones for the third round.

If there is a winning streak, the profits will be doubled.

Two wins in a row, each with a profit of four points, three wins in a row, all with a profit of eight points.

These regulations are not only designed to prevent cheating, but also to ensure stable profits for bookmakers.

Under Tan Wenshu's detailed explanation, Li Yuan had a clear understanding of the rules and procedures of the Alchemy Meeting.

According to Tan Wenshu, the Dan Dan Meeting was not held by the five major families, but by someone else, and they only shared some of the profits.

Li Yuan couldn't help but start planning in his heart. Maybe at this elixir identification meeting, he could find some opportunities to gain some benefits for himself.

.........

Night gradually fell, and the lights on the streets were like stars, illuminating this bustling city on the Yuanzhou.

The shouts and shouts on the street are still heard one after another, creating a unique night market atmosphere.

On both sides of the street, shop lights danced on the windows, reflecting colorful light and shadow.

The shadows of various commodities swayed on the windows, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods. The tempting taste made people stop and taste it.

"GuluGulu——"

The hearse drove slowly on the wide street, its wheels rolling on the bluestone, making a slight rustling sound.

After passing through three or four streets, the hearse finally arrived at the Bentankai venue, a spherical building.

This building is like a huge pearl or an elixir, shining brightly in the night sky.

Most of it is suspended in mid-air, and only the bottom is connected to the ground, making it appear mysterious and spectacular.

Entering the interior of the building through a door connected to the ground, a towering spiral folding staircase comes into view.

The stairs spiral up, like a giant dragon winding and circling, looking particularly majestic under the light.

Li Yuan and several others walked up the stairs to the venue above.

Inside the venue, the space is spacious and bright, with a small circular square in the center and circles of stepped seats around it.

There are thousands of figures in each circle, and their eyes are focused on the center of the square.

There were tens of thousands of people in the entire venue, and most of their faces showed the enthusiasm and anticipation of gamblers.

Above the stepped seats, there are layers of VIP rooms, gradually closing in from bottom to top, forming a unique sense of hierarchy.

The VIP room on the top floor overlooks the entire central area of ​​the circular square and is a symbol of identity and status.

Under Tan Wenshu's arrangement, Li Yuan and Xie entered the top VIP room together.

The decoration in the room is luxurious, elegant and solemn.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that this room was specially prepared for Mr. Xie.

"Thank you, senior, which first-level Dan Dan are you planning to participate in tonight?"

Tan Wenshu asked after several people sat down.
