The capital, Chang'an, is the dream paradise for all spiritual pharmacists.
Apart from that, it is also the holy land that all alchemists yearn for, because within Chang'an, there is an organization called Zonghui.
The ranks of almost all alchemists in the Eastern Wilds are determined by them, and then corresponding copper coins are issued as a symbol of identity.
Alchemists are already rare in the Eastern Wilds, but Zonghui has gathered these rare outstanding figures within it.
The alchemist with the highest rank in the Eastern Wilds at present is Ji Qinglin. He is considered a senior - level figure in Zonghui. There is also a woman who holds a very respected position in the Eastern Wilds. Her name is Xia Wanning.
Both Ji Qinglin and Xia Wanning are now figures that the four major families dare not provoke lightly. However, they act in a mysterious way, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces.
Just thinking about Chang'an is already intimidating.
Could this spiritual pharmacist be a big shot from Chang'an?
"Xie Yuan, is he a spiritual pharmacist?"
Xie Yuan shook his head pretentiously and then said, "That's not all."
Nan Tianyuan's breathing slowed down a lot because of this sentence. He couldn't say a word for a long time until he digested Xie Yuan's "that's not all".
"Is he an alchemist?"
Xie Yuan again pretentiously said, "That's not all."
Nan Tianyuan slumped. He had no strength in his body at this moment, let alone sit still.
Seeing him gasping for breath, Xie Yuan didn't miss this opportunity. He stepped closer and said, "The senior in the elegant pavilion is from above."
"Xie Yuan, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Xie Yuan quickly bowed and stepped back, looking humble. "How dare I?"
After Nan Tianyuan learned that the person living in the elegant pavilion was no ordinary person, he called Xie Yuan aside, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Did I offend him before?"
"Well, I really don't know. But Lord Nan, you may not know much about this senior in the elegant pavilion. We've never heard that he has a disciple before. But look, the relationship between that little girl named Zhao Shuning and him is no ordinary one."
Nan Tianyuan's heart tightened.
Could it be that offending Zhao Shuning just now meant offending a big shot who couldn't be provoked?
"Xie Yuan, what's your relationship with Zhao Shuning?"
Xie Yuan replied, "Zhao Shuning just lives in my mansion. I don't really have any relationship with her."
"It can't be. She's lived in your mansion for so long. There must be some kind of friendship between you. Lord Xie, if you can help me invite Zhao Shuning out so that I can formally clear up the misunderstanding between us, your Xie family will surely be honored guests of my Nan family when you come to Qingning in the future. What do you think?"
Zhao Shuning took a big bite of the apple in her hand.
Without turning her head, she said to Yan Ruyu, "Master, look, this Xie Yuan is really no ordinary person. He knows how to take advantage of the situation better than I do. Relying on this tenuous relationship with you, he's going to extort a fortune from Nan Tianyuan."
Yan Ruyu smiled. If Xiao Ning'er enjoyed watching the show, it wouldn't matter to lend her name to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan seemed very embarrassed when he heard this.
Then he said, "This—"
Nan Tianyuan quickly asked his subordinate to invite Xie Yuan to the main seat beside him and then said, "Xie Yuan, my son, Nan Feng, is one of the proud disciples of the Wang family. He has a bright future and is the apple of my Nan family's eye. Even if my Nan family offended unintentionally before, there will be many opportunities for our two families to interact in the future. What do you think?"
"Lord Nan, look at what you're saying. What's your status and what's mine? If there's anything I can help with, just tell me. I'm willing to do anything for you, but—you know, as the host, I have no chance to get involved with the senior in the elegant pavilion. I just provided a place for rest and he just passed by."
"Lord Xie, just tell me what you want. I just want to meet that little girl. I don't believe you can't handle such a small thing."
Xie Yuan looked embarrassed.
"Lord Nan, my spirit - pet was injured by the White Tiger of the Four - Image Stone. Look?"
"What do you want?"
"A fifth - rank pill from an alchemist."
Xie Yuan knew that with the Nan family's generosity, although such pills were rare, the Nan family would at least have one or two in reserve.
Nan Tianyuan didn't expect that the Xie family would really dare to make such a request.
"Of course, I'm just mentioning it casually. Lord Nan, don't take it to heart."
"Got it. I'll get it for you after I finish my business on Misty Mountain."
Misty Mountain? Zhao Shuning, with her sharp ears, immediately caught these three words.
"Master, is there anything good on Misty Mountain?"
"Why don't you go down and ask him yourself?"
Zhao Shuning thought it made sense, so she jumped out of the window. Yan Ruyu gently moved her steps, holding a book, and walked to the place where Zhao Shuning had been sitting and looked down.
Being impulsive and acting on her impulses as soon as she thought of something, this characteristic of Xiao Ning'er hadn't changed much from before.
"What are you going to Misty Mountain for?"
Nan Tianyuan was just talking to Xie Yuan when that petite figure suddenly appeared in front of them, which really startled the two of them.
When Nan Tianyuan saw Zhao Shuning this time, he had long lost his previous arrogance and his attitude had improved a lot. "Miss Zhao, you're here?"
He used to call her a wild girl, but now his tone had changed so quickly.
"What are you going to Misty Mountain for?"
Nan Tianyuan stammered and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He looked up inadvertently and found that the big shot was standing by the window looking at him. Nan Tianyuan couldn't help shivering and then said, "It's not very convenient to talk about this."
Xie Yuan was also a person who knew how to read the situation. Hearing what Nan Tianyuan said, he led his subordinates out of the pavilion first, leaving only Zhao Shuning and Nan Tianyuan inside.
"Lord Nan, could you please tell me?"
Nan Tianyuan swallowed hard and asked with a forced smile, "Are you interested in Misty Mountain, miss?"
"Yes."
Fine sweat broke out on Nan Tianyuan's forehead.
Could it be that the news he got had been leaked? Even this little girl knew about the existence of the dragon bone?
"This—"
"You'd better tell me quickly. I'm going back soon. Otherwise, my master will be unhappy."
Hearing this, Nan Tianyuan's face was covered in sweat.
He really didn't know how this little girl from the Zhao family had climbed up to this big shot from Chang'an.
But unfortunately, in the face of such a powerful existence, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone resist.
