Celestial being

"Replying to my lord, the situation is a bit complicated. I asked for a private room in the teahouse in front, and we went there to drink tea and talk." Xu Che said in a low voice.

Seeing Yuan Ming nodding, Xu Che led the way. Not long after, the group came to a teahouse called "Ming Yan".

"This teahouse was opened by a monk from the State of Zhao. He was a master of tea making. He knew a method of frying tea. He could stir-fry and combine different tea leaves and spiritual materials to make tea cakes with four spiritual energies. Come on, you guys have a try." Xu Che quickly served tea to several people.

Yuan Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was fragrant in the mouth and had a long aftertaste. It was indeed a rare product.

King Kong picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, smacking his lips, as if it was not enough. Huazhi sat aside and glanced at King Kong with some disgust. Like Zuo Qinghui, he did not touch the tea.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Yuan Ming put down his teacup, opened a soundproof cover, and asked.

"I followed the Lord's order and came to Purple Thunder City to look for clues about the elixir-cleansing liquid. There was no progress in the first year. Later, I became familiar with some monks in this city and participated in many exchange meetings with them. , went in and out of several auction houses, and finally found out about the elixir-cleansing liquid. This item was refined by a chamber of commerce in the city called "Baidanfang". It was extremely precious and was only supplied to some prominent forces in the Black Wind Desert. Almost no one knows about ordinary casual cultivators," Xu Che said.

"Baidanfang, I seem to have heard of this name. It is famous for refining elixirs. Some of the insect pills in Sand City were purchased from Baidanfang." Yuan Ming tapped his fingers on the table a few times. Said thoughtfully.

"My Lord is right. Baidanfang is an emerging force in the Black Wind Desert. It is said to have been founded more than ten years ago and is famous for its alchemy." Xu Che said.

"Since you found out that this chamber of commerce can refine elixir-cleansing liquid, have you had any contact with them?" Yuan Ming asked again.

"Yes, I thought that if I could buy the elixir-cleansing liquid, I wouldn't bother you to go there in person. I spent a sum of spirit stones a few days ago and invited a respectable monk in Zilei City to accompany me and went to Baidanfang to ask for help. I wanted to get the cleaning elixir liquid, but the shopkeeper of Baidanfang declined because it was out of stock." Xu Che said.

"Oh, what's out of stock? I'm afraid it's an excuse." Huazhi made a high-pitched voice.

Huazhi's cultivation has improved a lot now, and he is only one step away from reaching the upper level of the second level. While his strength has greatly improved, his human form has also become more lifelike. Although he cannot drink tea, he can barely make sounds.

"It's not necessarily an excuse. If the refining of the elixir-washing liquid wasn't difficult, Baidanfang wouldn't just do business with big powers." Yuan Ming slowly shook his head.

"How about I sneak in and steal a bottle or two?" Huazhi said.

Xu Che's expression changed slightly. Purple Thunder City was the territory of the Five Thunder Sect and was not a place for mischief. He was about to give some advice.

"Since Baidanfang can do business with all the major forces in the Black Wind Desert, its strength should not be underestimated. Although you have the magical power to escape from the earth, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to succeed. Let me go and make contact with the people from Baidanfang first. If If we really can’t buy it, we’ll think of other ways.” Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Huazhi remained silent, looking a little disappointed.

Yuan Ming told Zuo Qinghui, Huazhi, and King Kong to wait for news at the teahouse, while he and Xu Che walked towards the depths of Purple Thunder City.

The security in Purple Thunder City is considered good in the Black Wind Desert. At least there is no chaos like Sand City, and there is no distinction between inner and outer cities. The two soon arrived at a tall shop deep in Purple Thunder City. The three characters "Baidanfang" are written on the plaque at the entrance gate.

This shop occupies a large area, almost the same size as the two nearby shops, with five floors in total. The business is also very good. There are monks coming in and out constantly, and most of them have excited smiles on their faces.

Yuan Ming and Xu Che walked into the store. Yuan Ming's eyes were attracted by the rows of elixir shelves in the store. There were many types of elixirs on them, almost not under the Qingmu Building of Shengye Sect.

"What elixir do you two guests want?" A servant in green clothes came up to him with a smile on his face.

No need for Yuan Ming to speak, Xu Che stepped forward.

After the two negotiated, the green-clothed attendant glanced at Yuan Ming and led the two of them inside. Soon they arrived at the third floor of Baidanfang and saw a white-clothed Confucian scholar. The green-clothed attendant called him "Guanshi Huo." .

"Fellow Daoist Xu, why are you here again today? I can't do anything about the matter you mentioned earlier, so you don't have to waste your efforts." The scholar in white glanced at Yuan Ming and said to Xu Che.

"Xu naturally understands what Manager Huo said. This is my master. He is here to visit me personally today. I also ask fellow Taoist Huo to report to Master Yan of your house." Xu Che said.

"My master is not in Baidanfang today. He went out to visit friends. I'm afraid it will be a waste of time for you two." The face of the scholar in white turned cold, and he seemed a little unhappy with Xu Che's constant pestering.

"Really? Fellow Daoist Huo, why don't you go and have a look? Your master may have returned." Yuan Ming said calmly.

The Confucian scholar in white sneered in his heart after hearing this.

Purple Thunder City is the largest city of Zhao State in the Black Wind Desert. There are countless monks who come here every day. As the manager of Baidanfang, his daily contacts are either senior executives of large businesses or disciples and elders of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, Xu Che He is nothing like Yuan Ming, but some small family in a corner is actually dictating to him.

He was about to look polite, but actually said something sarcastic, when his eyes came into contact with Yuan Ming, and he was immediately attracted by a magnet, unable to move away.

The white-clothed scholar felt that his entire head had become numb, unable to move or make any sound, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.

The thoughts of panic immediately spread like a tide, increasing tenfold and a hundredfold, and instantly occupied the entire mind of the scholar in white.

The man's body was trembling, he was crying, and his pants were wet, and it quickly spread and became bigger.

When Xu Che saw this scene, his face remained calm, but his heart was filled with surprise and joy.

As expected, the master has boundless magical powers. This Confucian scholar in white is the chief manager of Baidanfang. Although he is a bit snobbish, his cultivation is very tyrannical. In the late stage of solid foundation building, it is said that he is not far away from fake elixirs. However, he was frightened by Yuan Ming's look. Crying incontinently!

This is probably a rare act of gaffe after he entered the world of cultivating immortals.

Yuan Ming also nodded secretly. He had just used illusion to control the scholar in white, and then used his "emotion" ability to control the fear in his heart. This was the first time he used this ability on a monk after he realized it, and the result was quite satisfactory.

The combined use of emotions and illusions doubled the power. The scholar in white was not much weaker than him in cultivation, but he had no power to fight back.

Yuan Ming did not continue to manipulate the emotions of the scholar in white, and found a chair to sit down on his own.

The panic in the white jade scholar's heart slowly subsided, and he regained his senses. He was ashamed and angry, but he did not dare to attack Yuan Ming. After taking a deep look at Yuan Ming, he ran out in a hurry.

"My lord, Manager Huo is a reputable person in Baidanfang. Although this person deserves it, you allow him to make a fool of himself like this, which is tantamount to indirectly slapping the master of Baidanfang in the face. I'm afraid today's trip will be in vain again. "Xu Che said hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter." Yuan Ming waved his hand and didn't care.

Judging from the way Baidanfang sells the elixir-washing liquid, it is obvious that they do not just want to exchange for spiritual stones, but use the elixir-washing liquid as a medium to make important friends.

He is just a casual cultivator and can't buy it 80% through normal channels.

From the beginning, Yuan Ming did not expect to be able to buy this thing with the spirit stone. He came here with Xu Che today and just wanted to meet the master of Baidanfang.

As long as he sees this person, he can use further means.

"By the way, I didn't have time to ask before, who is the master of Baidanfang? What is his cultivation level?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Reporting to my lord, the name of the master of Baidanfang is Yan Sijing. I have never met her. It is said that she is not very old and is in the late stage of foundation building." Xu Che said.

"Later stage of foundation building..." Yuan Ming was startled.

To be able to create such a big foundation as Baidanfang, he thought he must be at least a monk in the Danjie stage, but he didn't expect that he was a monk in the Foundation stage.

He did have some interest in this person.

…

The Confucian scholar in white ran to the back hall, changed into a pair of clean clothes, and finally calmed down.

"Damn it, where did that young man come from? Just look at me and he looks like this. Even a monk in the Danjie stage may not be able to do it. Isn't that person a person in the Danjie stage? It shouldn't be possible. Maybe he is not even close to the Danjie stage. Far away." He felt solemn in his heart, and the thoughts of revenge that had just appeared disappeared.

The scholar in white hesitated for a moment, then stamped his feet and walked towards the fourth floor.

Yuan Ming used his spiritual consciousness to target the Confucian scholar in white. Seeing this scene, he felt calm and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue tracking, but that there are restrictions on the fourth floor of Baidanfang that isolate spiritual consciousness. Forcible exploration may trigger a restriction warning, which would be self-defeating.

A white light flashed on the jade pendant hanging on the waist of the white-clothed scholar. He passed through the ban on the fourth floor and quickly came to the door of a side hall and knocked on the door.

"Manager Huo, what's the matter?" A clear female voice came from the hall, like the tinkling of spring water, but also full of majesty.

"A fake elixir period guest came to the shop. He seemed to have a good background. He wanted to buy the elixir-cleansing liquid. He was accompanied by Xu Hu, who had been here a few days ago. I didn't dare to make arbitrary decisions, so I came here to ask the boss for instructions. "The Confucian scholar in white lowered his head and said.

Xu Che had enemies in the Five Thunder Sect. Although he might not meet them in Purple Thunder City, he still gave himself a false name to be on the safe side.

"Xu Hu? That person brought by the handsome young master of Bailian Pavilion? I remember that he is a casual cultivator." asked a clear female voice.

"Yes, but Xu Hu called the person traveling with him master with a very respectful tone. It seems that the information we collected earlier was wrong. The two of them should be from a certain family of cultivators. It's just that my subordinates have poor eyesight and cannot guess their identities. I came here to ask the owner for instructions." The scholar in white said.

"Oh, since he is a descendant of a family who cultivates immortality in the fake alchemy stage, it's hard to refuse him directly. Let me deal with it." A clear voice said.

The door to the side hall opened, and a girl wearing light yellow clothes came out.

This person looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looks lively and pleasant. His big black and white eyes give people a weird elf feeling.
