The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 84 Tianbao Pavilion, the famous vest account is online (second update, please subscribe)

"It's all sorted, brother Xuan, just wait a minute, I'll get it to you right away."

He Yuzhu stood up and entered the room.

After a while.

She walked out with a thick stack of bound papers.

"This is the information I compiled on each market, including the details of the shops inside, all recorded on it."

Li Xuan took it and looked through it carefully.

It records information about all the cities and towns in the entire capital, and also makes a ranking based on their prosperity.

Moreover, each store in Fang City also lists detailed information, including what it mainly sells, its reputation, who is the owner of the store, etc.

Although this is very basic information, you can understand it clearly with a little inquiry.

But it can be done in such detail and organized into categories.

Obviously, He Yuzhu put a lot of thought into it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xuan looked at He Yuzhu.

After he decided to practice "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra", he wrote a letter to He Yuzhu and asked her to help list the information of various shops in the capital.

It’s best to shop at a store where you can buy all kinds of training materials.

He didn't dare to write "Thunder Strikes Wood" openly, because when he went to the Palace Post Office to send a letter, he needed to give the letter officer a look first to make sure the letter was OK before sending it out.

Therefore, Li Xuan just asked He Yuzhu to collect store information in general terms. Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu did it so seriously.

This made Li Xuan have a great impression of He Yuzhu, and he brought her to the capital from Huaqing Mansion in vain.

"It's not hard work, just help Brother Xuan." He Yuzhu did not claim credit, nor did he say how much effort he put into organizing these shops.

Li Xuan said: "This information is very useful to me and saves me a lot of time."

talking.

He praised again: "Xiaozhu, your handwriting is very beautiful. I can't tell you are a beginner at all."

He Yuzhu's handwriting is small and graceful, exuding an aura of aura that makes people completely unbelievable. He Yuzhu was a novice who couldn't even write before.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly: "I spent a couple of silver to attend a private school not long ago, and my husband also praised me for my calligraphy talent."

"Yes, you are smart. It shouldn't be difficult for you to read through the Three Thousand Taoist Canons. You can put needlework and other things aside for now. Don't worry about spending money. Only investment will pay off." Li Xuan reminded.

He Yuzhu looked obedient: "Well, I listen to brother Xuan."

"You should read the brochure I gave you first so that you can be prepared. I will go back to the room and have to go out later." Li Xuan stood up.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but said: "Brother Xuan, when will you return to the palace?"

"I came out temporarily this time. I won't be able to stay long. I have to go back tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

"No, just read the brochure in peace."

Li Xuan didn't say anything more and took Jinhua back to his room.

He also hid some valuable elixirs here. It was enough to leave only part of the Ziyun Dan to heal injuries and the Heqi Dan to restore internal energy.

The rest must be sold to be used as funds to purchase lightning-strike wood.

Li Xuan estimated that if all the elixirs he had were sold, he could probably sell them for about 1 taels.

Using the money to buy the lightning strike wood should be enough for him to open up most of the caves in the dragon's spine.

'Actually, I can also directly exchange the elixir for lightning wood. These shops should all be able to barter! '

Li Xuan looked through the shops listed by He Yuzhu.

After a while.

He selected several shops with good reputation and size.

The capital city is so huge that it would take a day and a night to ride around the city, so he couldn't visit too many shops.

You can only choose the best among them and choose the most suitable ones.

'Qiongyu Tower and Tianbao Pavilion, go to these two first! 'Li Xuan made a decision quickly.

According to what He Yuzhu wrote on the paper, these two are time-honored brands in Beijing for more than 20 years, and their credibility should be guaranteed.

Moreover, treasures will flow out from time to time, and you might be able to find the lightning strike wood among them.

The most important thing is that these two families are in the adjacent Fangshi and are not too far from Li Xuan's yard. It only takes about half an hour to ride there.

'Go to Qiongyu Tower first and take a look. '

Li Xuan quickly took out the elixir from his clothes and put it into a prepared medicine bottle.

After packing the medicine bottles and about to go out, Jinhua beside her started to scream.

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan asked confused.

Jinhua dipped her paws in some water and crookedly wrote one word on the table: Night.

"Huh? Have you broken through to the Night Travel Realm?" Li Xuan's eyes flashed.

He knew that these demon clans had their own unique heritage.

There is no need to read through the Three Thousand Taoist Canons and open up the light of wisdom like humans, in order to open up the Niwan Palace.

It seems that they can directly practice the demon clan's unique visual method, and then open up the Niwan Palace.

It's the other way around with humans.

This method seems simpler, but after the Niwan Palace was opened, the speed of cultivation was not as fast as that of humans.

Jinhua said before that she had been stuck in the out-of-body realm for seven or eight years.

"Chi chi chi." Jin Hua nodded.

"Not bad, keep up the good work." Li Xuan smiled.

He knew, however, that the stronger Jin Hua's cultivation was, the further away the hair on her forehead could sense the treasures of heaven and earth.

This time to suppress bandits, he was also going to take Jinhua with him to see if he could sense anything good.

He brought out the young mare from the stable.

Li Xuan, accompanied by He Yuzhu, took Jinhua and walked out of the yard.

Then, he found a deserted corner and used the "Thousand Faces Illusion Skill" to transform into a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a Chinese character face.

The sale of elixirs this time involved tens of thousands of taels of silver. The amount was huge, so naturally he couldn't use his original identity.

After disguising.

Li Xuan then mounted the little mare and went straight to Qiongyu Tower.

After half an hour.

A huge market appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes. People were coming and going, and there were people everywhere, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another.

"Baozi, fresh buns."

"Douzhier, authentic Douzhier from the old capital."

"Osmanthus cake, delicious osmanthus cake."

After Li Xuan bought a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Jinhua, he led the horse and walked inside.

This city is Tianjinfang, one of the three hundred cities in the capital, and Qiongyu Tower is located in it.

After a stick of incense.

Li Xuan walked out of Qiongyu Tower with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

There is no lightning strike wood for sale here.

Li Xuan actually sold some elixirs to Qiong Yulou in exchange for 3000 taels of silver notes.

This banknote is different from the banknotes issued by other commercial banks. It is officially issued by the imperial court.

Just like banknotes, they can be traded directly.

Of course, it is only limited to the capital city. There is no way to use it outside the capital city.

'Forget it, I should have thought of this possibility a long time ago. After all, lightning-struck wood is really rare, and apart from practicing the "Huangting Thunder Hell Sutra", it is also needed by some body-refining warriors, so it is normal to not find it in this shop. '

Li Xuan calmed down and asked the shopkeeper of Qiongyu Tower to help pay attention to the news about lightning striking the wood, and then left Qiongyu Tower.

He didn't stay long. After leaving Tianjinfang, he went straight to Yunlanfang next door.

Two quarters later.

Li Xuan entered Yunlanfang and quickly found the location of Tianbao Pavilion.

This Tianbao Pavilion is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Yunlanfang. It is much more majestic than Qiongyu Pavilion. It looks resplendent in appearance, as if it is made of gold.There are nine floors in total, like a pagoda.

Li Xuan learned from He Yuzhu's records that Tianbao Pavilion was a subordinate store of Yunlu Trading Company.

Yunlu Trading Company ranks among the top five among all Daqian trading firms.

Therefore, compared to Qiongyu Tower, the probability of finding lightning-struck wood here is still higher.

Li Xuan walked into Tianbao Pavilion with the package containing the medicine bottle.

The hall of Tianbao Pavilion is extremely spacious, covering hundreds of square meters. There are counters inside, and there are samples hanging on the wall behind the counters.

Everything seems to be sold here.

Pills, talismans, various refining materials, etc. can all be found here.

"This distinguished guest, how can I help you?"

A petite, sweet-looking woman in palace clothes saw Li Xuan and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Xuan got straight to the point: "I need to buy lightning strike wood, does your store have it?"

"Lightning struck a tree?" The petite woman was stunned, "Wait a moment, I will check it for you."

Obviously, she didn't expect the man in front of her to buy such an unorthodox thing.

She led Li Xuan to sit aside, and then hurried backstage.

A quarter of an hour later.

She came back, followed by a middle-aged man with a goatee and small eyes.

The middle-aged man walked up to Li Xuan, cupped his fists and said, "Liu Ze, I am the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion, but do you need to buy lightning strike wood?"

There's something going on... Hearing this, Li Xuan's heart moved. He stood up and clasped his fists in return: "Exactly. I wonder if your pavilion is for sale?"

"Yes, there is. This lightning strike wood was originally going to be an auction item later, but if you need it, you can buy it in advance. It's just that the price may be a little higher than normal sales..." Liu Ze smiled slightly.

Li Xuanweng said in a loud voice: "Can you give me this lightning strike wood to take a look first? After confirmation, I will consider whether to buy it."

"Of course there is no problem with this." Liu Ze stretched out his hand and said, "Please follow me."

soon.

Li Xuan followed Liu Ze out of the hall and came to a warehouse.

Liu Ze entered the warehouse and took out a box. Inside, there were three pieces of lightning wood that shone with a faint silver light.

Although these lightning-struck trees are not as long as Shiyu gave him, combined, they are still better.

If you buy them all, you can probably open up at least three more acupoints for yourself!
"Can I touch it?" Li Xuan asked.

"Of course, but we can't keep in contact for too long."

Liu Ze had already seen that Li Xuan had the desire to buy, so he naturally did not refuse.

After all, although lightning strike wood is rare, there are relatively few people in demand.

There are not many opportunities to find the right purchase and sell for a high price.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand, and his inner energy surged out and submerged into the lightning-struck wood.

Crackling!

In an instant.

He felt the raging thunder raging inside.

It's the real thing!
"I wonder, Shopkeeper Liu, how much these thunder-strike trees are going to be sold for?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ze smiled and touched his goatee: "Originally, the price of this lightning strike wood was five thousand, but since it is an auction item, you have to pay more agency fees. After conversion, you still need to pay an extra 500 taels."

"Okay, can I use pills to offset the deduction?" Li Xuan asked.

Liu Ze didn't expect Li Xuan to be so straightforward, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course it's no problem. Distinguished guest, please come with me."

After confirming that Li Xuan wanted to buy, his attitude became more enthusiastic and even his title changed.

Soon.

Liu Ze took Li Xuan to a separate side room and called an alchemist over to confirm the ingredients of the elixir.

"See if these pills are enough."

Li Xuan took out some medicine bottles from the package.

The alchemist opened the medicine bottle and quickly checked it.

After a while.

He then looked at Liu Ze and said, "Thirty percent of these elixirs are high-quality elixirs. Together, they are worth about 6000 taels."

"Oh?!" Liu Ze looked surprised.

He didn't expect that the ordinary middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be a secret alchemist.

After all, ordinary people can't take out so many high-quality elixirs in one go!

He couldn't help but look at Li Xuan's package: "Dear guest, there are other elixirs, and our store can also buy them together."

"That's it. If you have any extra money, you can give it to me." Li Xuan shook his head.

He does not intend to sell all the elixirs in the same store.

Firstly, I don't want to attract attention, and secondly, I plan to visit a few more shops while it's still early to open up more channels for purchasing lightning-strike wood.

after all.

Just relying on Tianbao Pavilion to collect the lightning strike wood needed for cultivation, I don’t know that it will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

"Okay, distinguished guest, please wait a moment."

Liu Ze left the room with the alchemist.

After a while.

He came back with 600 taels of silver notes in his hand and handed it to Li Xuan: "This is discounted for you. I will give you an additional 100 taels as a sign of our Tianbao Pavilion's sincerity. If you still need elixirs in the future, If you want to sell it, you can come directly to my Tianbao Pavilion. Of course, if you want cash, I can also help you exchange it."

It's hard to find an alchemist who can refine fifth-grade elixirs, so he naturally has to try his best to build a good relationship.

"No need, the banknote is pretty good."

Since this banknote can be used in the capital, Li Xuan will naturally not run around with thousands of taels of silver.

1000 taels is equivalent to [-] kilograms, and only idiots would carry it around with them.

"Dear guest, what do you call me?" Liu Ze asked.

Li Xuan thought of a well-known vest number in his previous life and couldn't help but said: "Li Feiyu."

Liu Ze smiled and took out a token from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan: "Brother Li, this is the VIP token of our Tianbao Pavilion. You can enjoy [-]% off when you use this token to purchase things in our Tianbao Pavilion and its branches. Discount, and our Tianbao Pavilion will hold auctions regularly, you can also participate with this token, and you can also enjoy a [-]% discount on the items you take, so please keep it."

Li Xuan glanced at the token and took it: "Thank you very much. By the way, if shopkeeper Liu still has any lightning strikes in the future, you can keep them for me. I want them all!"

"Of course there is no problem with this." Liu Ze agreed and continued, "We are currently holding an auction on the seventh floor of Tianbao Pavilion. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Li Xuan's eyes moved: "That's not a bad idea."

It has been two years since he came to this world, and this is his first time coming into contact with an auction. Even if he doesn't buy anything, it's still good to go and gain knowledge.

"Brother Li, please come with me."

The two of them left the room, quickly came to the lobby, entered a side room, and took a wooden board similar to an elevator to the seventh floor.

Walking out of the side room, you came to a spacious hall.

The lighting here is dim, and there is a huge booth at the top.

Under the booth, there are seats one after another, and behind the seats, there are about a dozen private rooms.

now.

There were about forty or fifty people sitting on the seats, and the lights were dim, so it was hard to see what they looked like.

Liu Ze said: "Brother Li, this must be your first time attending our Tianbao Pavilion auction. I will take you to a private room. If you want to bid, you can directly ask the maid inside to bid for you. "

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded.

The two of them were preparing to go to the private room to sit down.

In one of the private rooms, a frivolous voice came:

"The things I took today are all rubbish. Hurry up and take out the things from the bottom of the box. I don't have so much time to spend with you here."
