Chapter 159 Eunuch Wei, without a home! Old Zhang of the Qibao Pavilion!
Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked around.
Then he patted the horse's rump and said:
"It's normal to encounter a few bandits and robbers when you're out and about..."
"Black Wind! Run it over!"
hiss!
Upon hearing this, Black Wind instantly became excited!
Unable to resist letting out a screech, he immediately transformed into a black lightning bolt and charged forward!
Look around!
Ahead on the official road stood a dozen or so bandits with fierce expressions, wielding sharp knives!
When they saw the black horse approaching at a speed invisible to the naked eye, they were all so frightened that they turned and ran!
"My goodness! What is this...? This isn't a horse! This is a monster!"
"Run! It's a man-eating monster! My God!"
"Ah! Help!"
"Big brother...take me with you...don't leave me behind!"
……
In a blink of an eye,
The bandits and robbers were reduced to a pile of minced meat!
The black wind that had rushed past had long since vanished without a trace...
……
Inside the palace.
After leaving the Imperial Horse Stables, Eunuch Wei went straight to his former residence.
Having reached the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, he was hardly noticed by anyone on the road.
When he occasionally saw a few tall, handsome young eunuchs, Eunuch Wei would only glance at them.
When he arrived at his old place, his face darkened.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the red paint on the palace walls was peeling and faded.
The doors to the rooms inside the courtyard were broken in several places, and tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor, covered with dust and cobwebs.
Clearly, this place hasn't been cleaned in a long time!
Eunuch Wei still vividly remembers his time as governor.
The courtyard was packed with people waiting to see him!
Unfortunately, times have changed, and everything is different now!
Feeling a pang of sorrow, Eunuch Wei smiled and went back into the house with his hands behind his back.
He remembered it vividly and went straight to the study.
When Eunuch Wei saw the door to the secret chamber open, his hopeful heart shattered!
No need to look, his treasured savings of many years are gone!
"Sigh... our home... is gone!"
Wei Gonggong sighed and gave a bitter smile.
As if he had no home, he casually found a chair and sat down.
Looking at the scene inside and outside the house, he was somewhat at a loss!
Should we leave the palace, or stay here?
Eunuch Wei had no idea.
……
Inside Luoyang City.
Chen Fan, weaving through the crowd, had a smile on his face.
Having not been here for a long time, he felt that the place had become much more lively again.
He kept stopping and starting along the way, and surprisingly, he even spotted traces of the Church of Light.
These people are scattered throughout the city, distributing porridge to relieve the poor.
Sick children recovered instantly after drinking the porridge.
Some elderly people felt full of energy immediately after drinking the porridge.
Chen Fan observed from the shadows for a while.
It's not hard to see that there seems to be something more to those porridges than meets the eye.
He had no intention of helping the Eighth Prince, nor did he intend to find out the truth.
Chen Fan, who only wanted to raise horses, farm, and feed cats, watched for a while and then went straight to the yard.
Enter the market.
It's even more lively here now!
There were more cultivators and merchants than Chen Fan had last time!
He also noticed that the variety of goods sold there was much greater than before.
Feeling intrigued, Chen Fan began to wander around the market.
While strolling around, he bought inner cores, as well as various array formations, puppet crafting materials, and more!
Until they passed by a shop called Qibaoge.
Chen Fan stopped.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man.
He was of medium build, with a round, smiling face and a mustache. His cultivation level was probably at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
Upon seeing that someone had arrived, he greeted them with a smile:
"Sir, please come in... We have everything, feel free to browse and choose..."
They have everything?
Chen Fan was taken aback, then entered the store and said:
"Does your store really have everything?"
"Sir, Qibao Pavilion gathers rare and exotic treasures from all over the world," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Whatever you want, even if we don't have it, we can find it for you, as long as you give us enough spirit stones!"
"That makes sense..." Chen Fan nodded.
He then started browsing the store.
While watching, he chatted with the boss.
After a few exchanges, Chen Fan also learned what the other person's name was!
"Old Zhang, I'm not going to look around anymore. Do you have any veins of earth here?"
Earth veins?
Old Zhang of Qibao Pavilion was taken aback for a moment, then laughed:
"Brother Wei, are you referring to the earth veins that can generate vital energy?"
"Yes!" Chen Fan nodded slightly.
"Yes, but in our Qibao Pavilion, we don't call it Earth Vein, we call it Earth Dragon!" Old Zhang from Qibao Pavilion smiled, then took out a storage bag and said:
"Brother Wei, please look... is this what you wanted?"
Chen Fan took the storage bag and his eyes lit up instantly.
Inside the bag were about ten earth veins, each as thick as the Great Abyss Imperial Estate.
He was immediately intrigued and asked:
How much?
"Not expensive, ten high-grade spirit stones each!" Old Zhang from Qibao Pavilion smiled slightly!
What?
Ten high-grade spirit stones for one vein of earth!
Chen Fan felt a pang of regret upon hearing this!
With only two hundred high-grade spirit stones on his person, he couldn't possibly afford to be so extravagant!
However, in order to uncover the secret of the golden bowl...
Chen Fan still tried to bargain:
"Too expensive... Five high-grade spirit stones each, I'll take them all!"
"Five yuan... Brother Wei, that's half price." Old Zhang from Qibao Pavilion said, his face falling.
"Eight dollars! That's the lowest price!"
"Six yuan!" Chen Fan shook his head and said.
"This is my bottom line!"
"Deal!" Old Zhang from Qibao Pavilion readily agreed.
"Since Brother Wei is so agreeable, then I'll do you a favor!"
There are twelve earth dragons here, and a total of seventy-two high-grade spirit stones!
Chen Fan was stunned!
In that instant, he felt like he'd been tricked!
Looking at the smile on Old Zhang's face at Qibaoge, he felt a pang of regret and said:
"make a deal…"
Subsequently, Chen Fan gave seventy-two high-grade spirit stones and returned twelve earth veins.
After receiving the goods, he inquired about fire veins, metal veins, water veins, wood veins, and so on.
This can be learned from Old Zhang of Qibaoge.
These items are available, but they are a bit pricey.
Especially the water veins and metal veins, each one is worth more than a dozen high-grade spirit stones.
Chen Fan, who was short of money, had no choice but to let Old Zhang of Qibaoge buy the goods first, and he would come back to buy them when he had more money!
After chatting for a while, Chen Fan left in a hurry.
After everyone left, Old Zhang from Qibaoge came out of the shop.
Watching his departing figure, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes!
Thinking it was only the first day of business, I never expected to run into a big customer. What good luck!
Remembering what the other party wanted, he quickly went back inside to call someone to prepare it...
Leave the Treasure Pavilion.
Chen Fan headed straight for Baicaotang.
He brought with him a lot of sweet potatoes, radishes, medicinal herbs, and a small amount of spirit rice!
But I was planning to sell some spirit stones to Old Li and buy some other goods!
I just arrived at the door.
Chen Fan then saw a familiar figure walk out.
Inside Baicao Hall.
Old Li felt much better after taking a sip of tea.
He was slightly annoyed after being scolded by the Eighteenth Elder!
He figured he didn't know where the old eunuch lived, so what good would it do if the other party didn't come and scold him?
Just as Old Li was feeling annoyed, a familiar smell suddenly wafted from outside the door...
