Chu Xiu looked at Li Bu San with interest and asked doubtfully, "There are so many people in the pugilistic world, why did you choose me? How do you know that I can afford you? Aren't you afraid that I'm one of those poor rogue cultivators? "
Li Bu San chuckled and said, "In this line of work, I rely on my pair of eyes. How can I not be careful?
Most of the young masters from the aristocratic families in brocade clothes have servants accompanying them. They don't need someone like me to be their guide.
Young Master, although you don't look like a martial artist from an aristocratic family or a big sect, I'm sure that you're not an ordinary rogue cultivator.
When ordinary rogue cultivators see so many experts and young talents gathered in the Ji State Prefecture, they will definitely feel guilty. Anyone who sees so many young talents far surpassing them will not have confidence.
But Young Master, your eyes are looking at everyone present. Obviously, you don't care about the people in the Ji State Prefecture. You have absolute confidence. "
Chu Xiu touched his nose. How could he not know that his gaze was so conspicuous? Why did it have a 'everyone here is trash' look?
"What else? You think I'm not an ordinary rogue cultivator based on this? "
Li Bu San chuckled and said, "Of course not. Although I can't see the blade of the long saber at your waist, the handle is inlaid with red rock crystals from the East Sea. It's more valuable than purple gold. The handle is already so valuable, let alone the blade. Of course, there's one more thing. I can confirm your identity. Although you're not from an aristocratic family or a big sect, since you were sent by the Guanzhong torture room to participate in the God Weapon Conference, you're definitely not an ordinary person. "
This time, Chu Xiu was really surprised. He asked doubtfully, "You actually know about the Guanzhong torture room?"
In the Guanzhong region, the Guanzhong torture room could be said to be well-known. However, after leaving the Guanzhong region, Chu Xiu only knew how low-key the Guanzhong torture room was.
The disciples of other sects and aristocratic families needed to roam the pugilistic world, but the Guanzhong Torture Room didn't need to. They only needed to guard their own territory.
Therefore, most of the people in Jianghu had only heard of the Guanzhong torture room, but they had never seen anyone in the Guanzhong torture room.
The only people who had a deep impression of the Guanzhong torture room were the people from the imperial court or those from the major sects and aristocratic families.
The Guanzhong torture room was unique in solving cases and investigating traces. If the imperial court and the big martial arts forces had something they could not solve, they would ask the Guanzhong torture room to investigate. These people had more contact with the Guanzhong torture room. As for the others, except for those who had been to Guanzhong personally, it was almost impossible for them to have contact with the Guanzhong torture room.
Li Bu San smiled and said, "I used to be a caravan guard for a period of time and followed the Eastern Qi caravan to Guanzhong. I also saw the power of the Jianghu constables in the Guanzhong torture room."
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding and threw Li Bu San an ingot of purple gold, which was about ten taels.
"Alright, then you can follow me for now. Introduce me to the good places in the Ji Province Prefecture."
Receiving the purple gold, Li Bu San's eyes immediately revealed a trace of joy. This lord was indeed very generous. He actually gave out purple gold instead of ordinary gold and silver.
Li Bu San put away the purple gold and quickly said, "The Ji Province is the center of our Changlin County. Naturally, there are many good places. However, with Young Master's strength and status, you probably won't be interested in them. Therefore, there are only three truly good places. One of them is the Mo Family's Weapon Shop. Don't be fooled by its ordinary name. However, there are quite a number of people who have come for it. "
Chu Xiu was astonished and asked, "This weapon shop is opened by the Mo family of the Mirror Lake Manor?"
Li Bu San praised, "Young Master is indeed smart. Although Grandmaster Mo Yezi has already stepped down from his position as the master of the Magical Weapon Pavilion and retired from the pugilistic world, he has after all been a blacksmith his whole life. Even after retiring from the pugilistic world, he would still forge some weapons from time to time as practice.
For a blacksmith like Grandmaster Mo Yezi, the weapons he casually forged were all practice items. However, for the people of the pugilistic world, they are treasures that they can only dream of. Grandmaster Mo Yezi's practice items are also occasionally sold in the Mo family's weapon shop.
The people of the Mo family will not say which weapon was personally forged by Grandmaster Mo Yezi. Being able to buy it is your luck and fate. Only after you have bought it will the Mo family tell you. Therefore, there are many people who come to the Mo family's weapon shop to try their luck.
Moreover, as the descendants of Grandmaster Mo Yezi, the people of the Mo family are also experts in forging weapons. The various weapons produced by the Mo family can be said to be treasures in the pugilistic world. "
Chu Xiu nodded, but he was not tempted.
Chu Xiu's Red Sleeve Blade was a Fifth Revolution artifact. Even among Fifth Revolution artifacts, it was considered to be above average. Unless there was a Sixth Revolution artifact, and it had to be suitable for Chu Xiu's attributes, it would not be of much use to Chu Xiu.
Even if Mo Yezi was a Great Master of Smithing, a Sixth Revolution Precious Weapon was not something he could refine just because he wanted to. Just the materials alone were already an astonishing number.
When a weapon reached the level of an artifact, each revolution was a different level. Fourth Revolution was easy to obtain, Fifth Revolution was hard to find, and Sixth Revolution was already a treasure.
"What about the other two places?" Chu Xiu asked.
Li Bu San chuckled and said in a slightly wretched tone, "The other two places are a brothel and a restaurant.
The brothel is the famous Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant in the whole Eastern Qi. There are all kinds of beauties from all over the world gathered there. There are tall and elegant Northern Yan beauties, gentle beauties from Eastern Qi, and charming and enchanting beauties from Western Chu.
There are also many foreign race beauties in the Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant. For example, there are some foreign race beauties from the East Sea islands. Although their skin is a bit dark, their bodies are alluring, as if they have no bones.
Also, the beauties from the Western Regions are all blonde and have enchanting and graceful figures. It is said that some of them are nobles and princesses of some small countries in the Western Regions. "
Li Bu San was almost drooling as he spoke.
For a bottom-level Jianghu person like him, even if he had purple gold in his hand, he would not be able to enter the gate of Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant. This kind of place was prepared for those real Jianghu heroes and big shots, and could not be entered just by taking money.
However, he was not qualified, but Chu Xiu was. If Chu Xiu wanted to go to the Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant, he could use the identity of Chu Xiu's attendant to enter. Maybe he could really get close to her.
However, Chu Xiu was not interested in his description. It should be said that those who still went to the brothel at this time were basically some rich young masters of some families.
The God Weapon Conference was about to start. Instead of recuperating and adjusting your state, you squandered your energy in the brothel and indulged in the beauty of women. Are you looking for death when you really go to the arena?
Love is like a steel knife that scrapes bones. Liking beauty and indulging in beauty are two different concepts. If you don't have a sense of propriety in front of important matters, you are doomed to not achieve anything.
There were even some extreme martial artists in Jianghu who, before achieving great success in martial arts, had to maintain their primordial yang energy. They would not get close to women and would even reject all desires for food or luxuries. They lived like ascetic monks. Although it seemed incomprehensible, they were often able to maintain the firmest heart of martial arts. Their willpower was absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Of course, Chu Xiu could not live such a life. He was not a real monk.
Chu Xiu did not ask any further about the Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant. He directly asked, "What about the last place?"
Seeing that Chu Xiu was not interested in the Phoenix Cry Xiaoxiang Restaurant, Li Bu San could not help but shake his head in pity. He continued, "The last place is the nine-story Dragon Gathering Pavilion built by the Music King of Qi, Jiang Wenyuan. The first four floors can be entered as long as you have money. If you want to enter the last five floors, it is not so easy. You need to have status, fame, or strength.
The higher your status, the greater your fame, and the stronger your strength, the higher floors you can enter and the more things you can enjoy.
The food on the first four floors are prepared for ordinary people or ordinary martial artists. In the last five floors, the ingredients for every dish are extremely precious spirit herbs and even the world's rarest treasures. Even the wine is made from some rare fruits. A single sip is equivalent to several days of cultivation. "
Speaking of this, Li Bu San's saliva dripped down.
Although he was only a martial artist of the lowest level, he was still a martial artist. His desire for things that could enhance his cultivation was not inferior to that of beautiful women.
Hearing this, Chu Xiu's interest was piqued. This Dragon Gathering Pavilion was quite extravagant. They actually used all kinds of spirit medicines to make dishes and wine.
Although these rare and precious spirit herbs could be turned into dishes and brewed into wine, they would still have the same medicinal effect, but they would certainly be less effective than those pills that had been carefully refined by an alchemist. This kind of behavior, in addition to satisfying one's appetite, was simply a waste of resources.
But even so, the Dragon Gathering Pavilion still dared to do such a thing. One could only imagine how rich their family was. Having a royal background really made a difference.
But at this time, Chu Xiu seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He asked abruptly, "Prince Anle, Jiang Wenyuan? Isn't the Qi royal family surnamed Lu? Why is there a prince with a different surname? Conferred the title of Prince? "
Among the three countries, there were only a handful of people who had been conferred the title of Prince. Every one of them was a powerful expert with tens of thousands of troops under their command. But this Jiang Wenyuan's name, Chu Xiu had never heard of it before.
At this time, Li Bu San laughed awkwardly and said, "It's not a conferment of Prince Anle. Prince Anle is actually a member of the previous royal family. The title of Prince is hereditary."
As he spoke, Li Bu San explained the situation to Chu Xiu.
In fact, the reason was very simple. Hundreds of years ago, the Qi royal family did not have the surname Lu, but Jiang. However, the last generation of the Jiang royal family was too muddle-headed and almost brought Eastern Qi to his death. In the end, he was deposed by several generals of Eastern Qi and was replaced by the Lu royal family.
In order to show their benevolence, the Lu royal family did not massacre the Jiang royal family. Instead, they conferred them the title of Prince, allowing them to live in luxury for hundreds of years without being able to wield power.
