Chapter 242 Merchant Castle

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient..." Shang Qingqiu immediately stood up to smooth things over, "Master Xu, don't get angry, we have something to discuss."

"What is there to discuss?" Master Xu immediately angrily said, "I have refined medicine for decades, and my colleagues gave me face and named me the king of medicine. Now the merchant wants me to discuss medicine at the same table with an ignorant boy. You are clearly humiliating me!"

"Master Xu's words are serious, serious words." Shang Qingqiu explained quickly, "This time refining medicine is very important to my business, so I ask Master Xu to be considerate. It is also to ensure the success of alchemy. As long as Master Xu has enough strength in refining medicine, the Emperor Blood God Pill will always come from you in the end, so what if there is a competitor? Doesn’t this show that Master Xu is magnanimous and supports the younger generation, doesn’t it?”

Shang Qingqiu is worthy of being an old fox, this passage is extremely beautiful.

Stand up Master Xu, saying that he is supporting the younger generation, if he is so aggressive again, it is obviously not enough to tolerate others.

Master Xu could only snort softly, and sat down, with displeasure still on his face.

Seeing that Master Xu had been comforted, Shang Qingqiu continued to ask Qin Yu: "Young Master Qin, what kind of requirements do you have for this medicine refining?"

"Same as Master Xu, the leftover Emperor's Blood Flower from alchemy belongs to me." Qin Yu replied very simply.

As soon as these words came out, Master Xu glared at him again, but this time he did not utter angrily, but the contempt in his eyes became more intense.

"In that case, those two will stay in the humble house tonight and leave tomorrow." Shang Qingqiu immediately made a decision.

Master Xu frowned slightly, and asked strangely, "So hasty?"

Shang Qingqiu replied with a faint smile: "A few days ago, my business was ready to leave. As long as the two of you are okay, we can leave tomorrow."

"The necessary auxiliary medicines..." Master Xu began to care about the medicinal materials needed for alchemy.

"It will take some time to go to the destination this time. When the time comes, there will be a place to rest, and there will be all kinds of medicinal materials there. Master Xu can rest assured." Shang Qingqiu replied.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Master Xu nodded and said.

Shang Qingqiu looked at Qin Yu again and asked, "Where is Mr. Qin?"

"I'm fine."

"Well, after you two have had drinks, stay here first, and leave early tomorrow morning." Shang Qingqiu immediately made a decision.

……

The next morning.

The merchants set off on time as soon as they responded.

There were five carriages in total, one for Shang Qingqiu, one for Qin Yu and that Master Xu.

However, that Master Xu's carriage was ahead of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu didn't express any dissatisfaction either, at least in terms of young people, the elders' carriages should be in the lead, obviously the businessmen also took care of Master Xu's face, so as to avoid further troubles.

The carriage set off on the road, starting from Suzaku City, heading west, passing through the southern section of the Crescent Moon Mountain Range, and heading all the way to the wild mountains.

The convoy walked for seven days in a row, and at noon on the seventh day, they came to a stone castle.

This is a stone castle built in the wild mountains. The city wall is made of huge stones. It looks like a stone city. The city wall is tall, thick and very strong.

Qin Yu looked out from the carriage and saw three characters written on the front of the stone fort: "Business Fort."

Clearly, this is where the merchants end up.

In other words, this stone castle is a private domain.

After the carriage stopped, Shang Qingqiu asked Master Xu to get off.

Qin Yu was invited by Shang Bie.

The age difference between Qin Yu and Shang Bieli was not that big, and it was easier to talk.

"Young Master Qin, please get off the carriage. The destination has arrived." Shang Bieli said with a smile.

Qin Yu got off the carriage and looked up at the stone castle in front of him.

Shang Bieli introduced: "This is the stone castle built by my business in Guanlan Mountains. I will repair it here today, and then make a decision on the next step."

Qin Yu nodded without asking any further questions.

Here, it is actually not difficult to guess.

This place should not be far from the Ancient Emperor's Ruins controlled by the merchant, and this merchant's fort should be the stone castle used by the merchant to guard the Emperor's Ruins.

A group of people entered the stone castle, walked through the long doorway, and came to the interior of the stone castle.

The interior of the stone castle is like a small town, but the people who come and go are from the merchant family or servants of the merchant.

In short, the people in this merchant fort rarely leave the stone fort.

There are also many powerful warriors in the Merchant Fort, and some of them are armed with weapons, obviously guarding the Merchant Fort.

Most of the buildings in the stone fortress are also made of rocks, but the architectural style is much more beautiful than the city walls, and occasionally there are exquisite pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes.

A group of people crossed the street and came to a small nanmu building.

"This is the best restaurant in Merchant Fort, the two of you can rest here." Shang arranged for Qin Yu and Master Xu respectively on behalf of the Patriarch.

Qin Yu had no objection.

The Ancient Emperor's Ruins was the lifeline of the merchants, so if they decided to let outsiders enter it, they must have made some preparations.

Qin Yu stayed in the restaurant, and the food and drinks he ate were very rich, so he had nothing to dissatisfy with.

Being idle and bored, Qin Yu practiced sword in the bamboo forest behind the restaurant.

The first form "Swordsmanship of Heaven - Cleave the Wind and Waves" has been practiced to perfection.

Master Xu was drinking and discussing with Shang Qingqiu in the restaurant room. He saw Qin Yu practicing sword in the forest from a distance, and couldn't help but said contemptuously: "Business owner, you really want to embarrass me, so you don't have to. This kid surnamed Qin , I think practicing swords is better than refining medicine."

Shang Qingqiu did not comment on this, he already knew Qin Yu's situation clearly enough.

It is very clear that Qin Yu has not only refined the elixir, but also ranked first in the martial arts list.

If someone is far away from another city, they may feel that these rumors are not true after hearing about them.

However, the merchant is located in Suzaku City, so they know everything clearly.

Therefore, Shang Qingqiu was sure that the young man in the bamboo forest below could not only practice swords, but also refine medicine.

"Master Xu, it's better not to talk about him. Continue to talk about the Emperor Blood Pill. To tell you the truth, compared to young people, the old man still values ​​Master Xu's medicine refining ability." Shang Qingqiu complimented.

Master Xu smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Business owner, don't worry, as long as I find the Emperor's Blood Flower, I will be able to refine the Emperor's Blood Divine Pill. The [-]% certainty I said before is actually just a modest statement. I can't say it is [-]% sure." Cheng, that seems too conceited."

"Master Xu is the medicine king of a generation. I naturally believe in refining medicine. However, how many emperor blood flowers do you need to refine the emperor's blood pill?" Shang Qingqiu asked again.

"It's so uncertain. If the Emperor's Blood Flower has grown for a long time, it will naturally refine an Emperor's Blood God Pill, and there is still some leftovers. If the growth year is short, it will be more difficult to say. However, I can still refine the Emperor's Blood Pill. The Blood God Pill is here. It's just that the quality may be lower." Master Xu replied.
