Chapter 107: Fourth grade for fifth grade?
In a beautiful the clear lake, an old man sat by the lake, looking at his fishing rod.
Fish in the water swim near the bait, and the water flows along with the fish's swallowing and spitting, carrying the bait wrapped on it away and flowing into the fish's mouth.
Da da da!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard.
The fish in the water fled in all directions, and the broken bait on the hook appeared in the old man's eyes.
"Great Elder."
The man stopped when he was two meters away from the old man and saluted respectfully.
"Is the investigation clear?"
Song Danbo asked calmly without even turning his head.
"The other party's name is Nie Yuan. He followed the Li family caravan to the Black Horn Region. He is said to be an alchemist, but his specific strength is unknown."
The man replied, and then added, "It's a strange face."
Song Danbo frowned and said, "Li's Chamber of Commerce? Wasn't the alchemist they hired in the past that guy named Blue?"
"It was indeed Blue, but he died accidentally when he encountered the black storm."
The man said immediately.
They knew the situation of the Li caravan very well.
"So that means Nie Yuan has nothing to do with the Li's Chamber of Commerce? He's alone, relying on his status as a pharmacist, and dares to attack my grandson?"
Song Danbo's voice gradually became lower.
Ripples appeared on the clear lake water, and the fish underwater huddled together, seeming to feel uneasy and trembling.
"Great Elder, it didn't matter before, but today I heard that Nie Yuan will participate in the competition with Qianyaofang on behalf of Li's Chamber of Commerce, and according to him, he is a fourth-grade alchemist."
the man replied.
"Active participation?"
Song Danbo tilted his head and glanced over.
The man lowered his head even lower. “Yes, it seems that he is not going to ask for any reward yet.”
"Ah……"
Song Danbo sneered, "When did a fourth-grade alchemist become so good-tempered? Working for free, we in the Eight Gates like people like this the most."
The man was silent.
After a long while, seeing that Song Danbo didn't speak, he asked softly: "Grand Elder, do you want to call that Nie Yuan?"
"No rush, let's see what he is capable of first."
Song Danbo spoke slowly, "If he has some ability, give him a chance to redeem himself. If not... I usually don't want to scold Xiaohui harshly. Who does he think he is? How dare he attack me?!"
After saying that, he waved his right hand.
"Great Elder, I will take my leave now."
The man left quickly.
Not long after.
There were footsteps again.
The sound was loud, and he didn't care whether it would disturb the fish in the lake.
"Grandpa, why are you still fishing here?"
Song Hui sat down next to the old man, picked up the bait and threw it into the lake as if he was throwing a stone.
The lake was rippling with waves.
Song Danbo glanced at him and said, "The Li Chamber of Commerce provides many gifts to our eight sects every year, so we should at least give them some face."
"Then I don't have any face?"
Song Hui's tone was unhappy.
In front of so many people in the city watching, he was knocked off the red tiger's back and lost all face.
Especially when you are frightened by a single word from the other party!
After he came back, he became angrier and angrier. He would actually be frightened by someone one day. This is Black Seal City!
I should have rushed up and fought him at that time. I didn't believe that he could kill me in Black Seal City!
"Why are you in such a hurry? I want to see his ability first. No force would have too many alchemists."
Song Danbo said calmly.
"Is that person really a pharmacist?"
Song Hui was stunned and said in surprise.
He lived in Black Seal City, so he naturally knew about the Li Chamber of Commerce. At this point in time, a new face appeared in the Li Chamber of Commerce.
There is a high probability that it is related to the Qianyaofang incident.
He looked at the old man, "Grandpa, where's that Blue? That guy was quite useful before and made us a lot of money."
"Dead. Died in the black storm."
Song Danbo said without changing his expression.
"This waste."
Song Hui said with some regret, "Before, I asked him to stay in Black Seal City, but he refused no matter what."
"If you have nothing else to do, go find your friends. If you can find the real murderer who killed Fan Ling, I will do whatever you want to do with Nie Yuan."
Song Danbo started to chase people away, as if he felt that Song Hui was disturbing him while fishing.
"That's not worth wasting my time on."
Song Hui curled his lips with some disdain.
"Rewards also have to be divided among people. My face is definitely not something that a high-level Xuan-level person can give away."
Song Danbo reminded.
"Okay, grandpa, you must bring Nie Yuan back the day after tomorrow. He not only dared to hit me, but also dared to yell at me. I must teach him a lesson!" Song Hui said fiercely. He washed his hands with lake water, put on the bait, and left the lake.
……
[Ding! Song Hui is born...]
[Ding! Song Hui is born...]
Glancing at the notifications on the screen, Nie Yuan frowned slightly, "You are so depressed at such a young age?"
After the emotion system is bound to a target, within a certain range, as long as the other party has emotions towards the host, they will be collected.
What Nie Yuan didn't expect was that he had held back at that time, and the other party didn't seem to understand his good intentions.
For the next two days, Nie Yuan went to the busiest restaurant in Black Seal City.
Mainly want to find out some information.
The most discussed topic is still the death of the Blood Sect's young master.
Besides.
It seems that Fengcheng is going to hold some competition soon, and the initiator is Han Feng.
"The competition with elixirs as rewards is not about competing for a place on the list. It's probably more about selecting people."
Nie Yuan had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
With Han Feng's many years of experience in the Black Horn Region, he must be aware of the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame.
The reason for the delay in taking action is that it is impossible to locate the exact location of the Fallen Heart Flame.
After all, the Fallen Heart Flame is now sealed in Canaan College.
On the other hand, they must be wary of the strength of Canaan College.
"Mr. Nie, we are almost ready to set off. Are you still practicing?"
Outside the door, Li He stood there and asked respectfully.
Squeak.
The door was opened from the inside, and Nie Yuan walked out, "Let's go."
The two came to the front hall, where Li Cheng and Li Yue were already waiting, and Li Tong was also there.
After they went out, they got on a carriage and drove towards a square in Black Seal City.
"Want to compete on stage?"
Nie Yuan had become somewhat familiar with the general layout of Black Seal City in the past two days. He guessed the destination from the route, but was not quite sure.
Li Cheng nodded, looking worried, "Mr. Nie doesn't like crowded places?"
“I just don’t want to be too conspicuous.”
Nie Yuan replied.
Li Cheng looked a little strange.
Young people actually like to keep a low profile? If I had the strength of a fourth-grade alchemist at this age, I would want to compete with others every day.
You don’t lose anything if you lose, and you make a lot of money if you win!
"Mr. Nie is worried about being caught and taken back to give birth to a child."
Li Yue recalled what he had heard before and explained to Li Cheng, then looked at Nie Yuan, "You can wear a black robe to cover it up. Do you need it? I'll ask someone to buy it."
"never mind."
Nie Yuan didn't want to go through so much trouble.
"Haha, Mr. Nie's troubles are really rare."
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment and smiled.
How ugly must the woman who pestered Nie Yuan be? She actually scared Nie Yuan so much that he hid in the Black Horn Region.
Soon, the carriage arrived at a square.
The three of them walked out of the car and came under a built awning.
The people from Qianyaofang had been waiting here early.
"I heard you guys changed people? This guy doesn't even look thirty years old. Can he be more reliable than Blue?"
A fat man looked at Nie Yuan.
Li Cheng snorted, "Stop talking nonsense and sign the treaty directly."
"You seem very confident."
The chubby man chuckled.
"Hurry up and get Wang Cheng out. We are in a hurry."
Li Cheng urged.
The fat man raised an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, "Sorry, it's not Wang Cheng who will appear in our Qianyaofang this time."
Li Cheng and Li Yue followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man with a cold face walking up the stairs.
"Han Zilin?! Isn't he the chief alchemist of the Eight Gates?! How can you invite him?!"
Li Yue couldn't help but let out a low cry when he saw the person coming.
The other party is the most powerful alchemist among the Eight Gates and is considered to be half-disciple of the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.
The most important thing is that Han Zilin is a fifth-grade alchemist!
Li Cheng's face turned cold, "Qian Feng, is a game worth spending so much money?"
The fat man shrugged, "I didn't spend any money, it was your Li's Chamber of Commerce that went too far, and some people couldn't stand it anymore."
Behind Han Zilin, an old man with a smile on his face slowly walked up.
"The Great Elder of the Eight Gates...Song Danbo!"
Li Cheng and Li Yue's faces turned pale instantly.
