"Zi Yao, go back and have a good rest. I have something to do. I'll look for you tomorrow!" In front of a house on Black Tiger Street, Ling Dong, who was feeling refreshed and comfortable, walked Zi Yao into the carriage.
As she stepped into the carriage, Zi Yao frowned slightly. She glanced at Ling Dong, her cheeks burning. The crazy scene with Brother Ling last night appeared in front of her eyes again.
"Bad guy!" Zi Yao rebuked Ling Dong in a low voice and sat in the carriage. Ling Dong waved his hand and said, "I'll settle that matter for you in a day or two. Don't worry!"
"I understand. Go back quickly!" Ling Dong, who was about to jump out of the carriage with a smile, paused. He took out a letter and a small package from his Qian Kun Ring and handed it to Zi Yao.
"Zi Yao, help me send this letter and package to the Ling family in South Mountain Commandery using your Kuixing Pavilion's Small Teleportation Formation. As for the cost, just deduct it from my Six Star Crystal Token!" Ling Dong said.
The package contained the elixirs that he had refined in the Earth Fire Elixir Room in Huoyun City a month ago. Most of them were the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills for his father, Ling Yuanshan, when he was cultivating. There were also a few bottles of Pulse Dredging Pills.
It had been more than a year since Ling Dong left South Mountain Commandery. The elixirs that he had refined for his father before he left should have been used up! He had spent nearly half a year to go back and forth. Recently, he did not have enough time. How could he, Ling Dong, miss out on the good show between the Bright Sword Sect and the Sky Leaders Alliance?
Therefore, Ling Dong planned to spend some silver to use the Small Teleportation Formation of the Kuixing Pavilion to teleport back. As for the cost of the silver, Ling Dong was not worried. As an Earth Alchemist, it would be a joke if he was worried about not having enough silver to spend!
As for the letter, other than Ling Dong's greetings to his father, it also explained one more thing. That was the matter of Bai Jiu 'er, Gao Yuan, and the others entering the Imperial Capital. Zi Yao had already helped Ling Dong find a few remote storefronts and a house. Once the silver arrived, they would be able to obtain it.
In the future, Ling Dong would definitely develop some businesses in Brilliance City and buy some real estate. However, this required someone to take care of it! Furthermore, he had used up all the military wine he had brought with him. He needed Bai Jiu 'er to bring him some!
However, the effect of the Marching Wine on Ling Dong's cultivation was getting weaker and weaker. Ling Dong had already decided to expand the use of the Marching Wine in the Ling family!
Some of the core members of the Ling family, including the Ling family's guards, could obtain the right to use the Marching Wine. However, they had to strictly control the amount that was given out and drink it on the spot. Ling Dong had explained all these aspects in the letter. The specific implementation would be up to his father, Ling Yuanshan.
Using the Marching Wine to increase the strength of the Ling family had already been put on the agenda by Ling Dong. Ling Dong did not want his family to not have the strength to protect themselves in the bloody storm in a few years' time.
However, what Ling Dong was looking forward to the most was the new wine that Bai Jiu 'er and her husband made. After more than a year, he wondered if Bai Jiu' er had made any new wine.
"I know!" Zi Yao took the package and the letter. After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Ling, there's no rush, right? If there's no rush, in four days, a batch of storage talismans and auction items will be teleported to South Mountain County. South Mountain County happens to be the place that I'm in charge of, so you can just teleport them there! "
"No rush, no rush!" Ling Dong replied with a smile, "You haven't even married into my family, and you're already a housekeeper?"
"You're the housekeeper!" Hearing Ling Dong's words, Zi Yao was embarrassed. However, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she immediately left.
Ling Dong stared at the carriage that was leaving and pondered for a long time!
Ling Dong and Zi Yao were already so close, but when Ling Dong came to the imperial capital this time, Zi Yao did not mention their marriage. This made Ling Dong somewhat puzzled.
However, Ling Dong also understood that Zi Yao did not mention this matter for his own good, Ling Dong! Zi Yao's background should be incomparably tyrannical. Behind her, there was at least a Heavenly Dipper Realm expert who doted on her very much. With Ling Dong's family background and cultivation, this marriage would probably not be mentioned now.
"It seems that I also need to work hard! Work hard to cultivate, and work hard to make a name for myself! " After muttering a sentence, Ling Dong turned around and gave an order. Then, he walked in the direction of Alkaid City's Apothecary Manor.
Last night, he and Zi Yao were looking for a quiet place to go to inform Bi Pengcheng. However, they did not expect Bi Pengcheng to not return. Ling Dong took the opportunity to stay in Bi Pengcheng's house. This private house was much cleaner and more secretive than an inn!
With such a good environment, Ling Dong displayed his invincible might in one night and defeated Zi Yao. Moreover, it was precisely because of this that Ling Dong had the intention to quickly buy his own property. How inconvenient would it be to stay in someone else's house all the time?
In his previous life, Ling Dong had hung around in Alkaid City's Apothecary Manor for a long time. Therefore, he was very familiar with the location of the Apothecary Manor.
When he passed by a market, Ling Dong casually bought a box of tea leaves and a set of desserts from an old shop that he had some influence on as a gift. Since he was a guest, he couldn't possibly leave empty-handed, right?
However, for someone like Qingyi Yuanchen, the thought was more important than the gift itself. Therefore, Ling Dong only casually chose two things. With familiarity, he wore the sky-blue martial attire that Zi Yao had given him and arrived at the Apothecary Manor's entrance.
The Apothecary Manor in the imperial capital, Alkaid City, was the headquarters of the Alkaid Empire's eighteen Apothecary Manors. Compared to the Apothecary Manor in Flaming Cloud City, it was several times larger in size and area.
The Apothecary Manors in Alkaid City were concentrated in a corner of the southern part of the city. From afar, the domes of the Earth Fire Pill Room were connected to each other and seemed to stretch on endlessly.
The two sides of the Apothecary Manor were filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs. After a few hundred years, the two sides of the Apothecary Manor were filled with medicinal herb and elixir stores. As long as it wasn't a rare heavenly treasure or a medicinal herb that was highly sought after by everyone, the majority of it could be purchased here!
This place had already become a medicinal herb distribution center!
However, the scene within 50 meters of the majestic cauldron-shaped Apothecary Manor's entrance was completely different. Rows of horses and carriages were tied to rows of stakes. Beside each horse or carriage stood more or less servants in bright clothes.
In the imperial capital, because the Apothecary Manor in the southern part of the city used a large amount of underground fire for the Earth Fire Pill Room, the other wealthy families weren't allowed to use the Earth Fire casually in order to not affect the Earth Fire's power. Therefore, most of the people who came to the Apothecary Manor's entrance were either Apothecaries who came to refine pills or dignitaries who came to ask for pills!
No one stopped Ling Dong from entering the Apothecary Manor's first floor. He only informed the doorman of the purpose of his visit. Under the doorman's astonished gaze, Ling Dong went straight into the Apothecary Manor and walked towards the second floor!
The Apothecary Manor was divided into two parts. The first part was naturally the Apothecary Manor. The Apothecaries under the Apothecary Manor refined pills, received medicinal herbs, and traded pills were all located here.
The second part was a little more strictly guarded because it was called the Pill Emperor Palace!
The Pill Emperor Palace, as the name implied, was the place where the Pill Emperor stayed. However, the Apothecary Manor couldn't be left empty since the Apothecary Manor hadn't appeared in the Apothecary Manor for several hundred years.
Moreover, the Apothecary Manor had three Heaven Level Earth Fire Pill Rooms and an Earth Fire Pill Palace that surpassed the Heaven Level. It was the place where many Earth Pill Masters dreamed of refining pills. Naturally, it couldn't be left empty for too long!
Therefore, the Apothecary Manor was divided into three parts for the Apothecary Manor's three Grand Mansion Masters to use until a new Pill Emperor appeared.
The Pill Addict, Yuan Chen, whom Ling Dong wanted to meet, was one of the three Grand Mansion Masters. He was currently residing in the Apothecary Manor.
"This … Deacon Zhu, please inform Grand Mansion Master Yuan Chen that an old friend, Ling Dong, has come to visit!" Ling Dong was stunned for a moment when he was informing the Grand Mansion Master. His voice paused for a moment as he recognized that the person in front of him should be an old acquaintance of his from his previous life.
As the saying went, the King of Hell was easy to meet, but the little ghosts were difficult to deal with. This Deacon Zhu was that kind of little ghost! He relied on a bit of familial relations to get the position of Deacon in the Apothecary Manor's Pill Emperor Palace. In his previous life, there was nothing he couldn't do!
If anyone wanted to come to the Apothecary Manor to report something, he would offer gold, but if the amount was less than a thousand taels of silver, he wouldn't even look! In his previous life, Ling Dong had also suffered a lot from him.
"Eh … You recognize me?" Deacon Zhu swung his fat head and big ears as he exclaimed in surprise. After looking up and down at Ling Dong, his self-proclaimed pair of Fiery Golden Eyes swept the result — an ordinary person.
Although his clothes were acceptable, he didn't have any attendants, and the gifts he brought were extremely shabby. Moreover, he was so young, so it was impossible for him to be a big shot. Therefore, he habitually extended his right hand to Ling Dong and gently twisted his index finger and thumb!
He was asking for benefits from Ling Dong.
"Long time no see, Deacon Zhu's habits haven't changed!" With a light laugh, Ling Dong took two steps forward under Deacon Zhu's greedy gaze and reached his hand into his bosom.
"Hmph, at least this kid is tactful and knows how to be filial. I didn't know that … Pa pa pa!" When Deacon Zhu saw Ling Dong's actions and secretly thought that Ling Dong was on his way, his vision suddenly blurred and then turned black. At the same time, a sharp pain came from his head, and his entire body fainted as he fell to the ground.
Ling Dong looked at Deacon Zhu, whose cheeks were swollen and had lost two teeth from his three slaps. A trace of an unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had never been an overly magnanimous person. Yes, he was a bit vengeful!
"Girl (you) … Girl (you) dare …" Deacon Zhu, who had lost two teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood, inarticulately bared his teeth at Ling Dong. However, in the next moment, he swallowed the remaining half of his words back into his stomach!
Because in front of his eyes, there suddenly appeared a subtle jade tripod emblem made of jade. It looked very beautiful, but Deacon Zhu, who stayed in the Apothecary Manor, clearly knew how powerful this emblem was!
To put it simply, killing him on the spot with this emblem would be no different from trampling an ant to death. In this world, there definitely wouldn't be a person who would challenge someone for the death of an ant!
"Sir … please wait a moment, I will go and report this!" At the same time, Deacon Zhu got up like a dog and ran into the Pill Emperor Palace.
The surrounding guards and the passing apothecaries all looked at Ling Dong in astonishment. What was the background of this young man, to actually make Deacon Zhu so afraid?
