Originally, Zhang Yitian was very ashamed, because the situation was the same as what Luo Hongyue said. He didn't give face first. Now he turned to ask for people, which is a bit cheeky.
But one yard to one yard. Although Zhang Yitian did so, he couldn't arrange himself according to the woman's words. He sighed, "it's not that I'm unkind, but I know my weight too much. I'm a wild child, and that little magic is difficult to be elegant. I've told Mr. Wu before."
Luo Hongyue didn't have such a good temper and said bluntly, "I know what you mean, but I tell you, if today's capable people and volunteers in the cultivation world don't think only for themselves and act regardless of morality and morality like you, what's the difference between them and evil cultivation?"
Zhang Yitian was speechless, because he thought so in his heart, but he can't be completely blamed. After all, he has only been in the foreign world for a short time and doesn't know much about the local customs. It's wise to keep a low profile at the right time. If he tries to be strong, he may cause trouble. According to his current cultivation, he is not enough to deal with these difficulties.
"All fire abatement is to give me some face as an old man." the old man Baicao came out to make a round, smiled and asked Zhang Yitian, "when you came just now, I heard you said you came from Beimo city and were the tutor of canglu college, right?"
Zhang Yitian wondered, "yes, I'm from canglu college. Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Baicao old man smiled more and more enthusiastically, "to tell you the truth, my family brother is now in canglu college and is responsible for the daily transaction of pagoda peak. This time, the bad disciple Ding Huan went to find his martial uncle and went to Beimo city with Luo's caravan..."
The old man Baicao talked endlessly, and his expression relaxed and relaxed, as if he was feeling and worried. These words fell in Zhang Yitian's ears, and a lot of character information suddenly appeared in his mind. Finally, he locked a person, "you don't mean elder Wu of Baota peak?" he asked in surprise.
"Yes, elder Wu Chen and elder Wu are my family's younger brothers." the hundred grass old man recalled the past, "twenty years ago, he went to lead a team to Beimo city to do medicine business. As a result, he met bandits in the desert, was seriously injured and fainted. It happened that elder Chu Yan of canglu college passed by, saved his life and took him back to canglu college.
Later, my younger brother survived, but his caravan no longer existed. He was disheartened. With the help of elder Chu Yan, he decided to stay in canglu college and do some small business. Your president, Xuan Daozi, gave him full power to take care of the pagoda peak. He hasn't come back since... "
After listening to this story, Zhang Yitian had only one thought in his heart, "the world is so small. Unexpectedly, Wu paopi is the family brother of the old man Baicao. I'll go there..." thinking about it, he smiled bitterly.
At the same time, Zhang Yitian also understood the meaning of Baicao old man's words. He was just trying to get in touch with the Luo family. Understanding this, he had a trace of curiosity in his heart, "I want to know now, what is the relationship between you and the Luo family, and why do you want to help them speak like this?"
Seeing that Zhang Yitian's mouth was loose, the old man Baicao immediately replied, "It's not helping to speak, so please don't get me wrong. The Luo family was only a small family with a population of only a dozen people. We made friends at that time, because the mercenaries were all engaged in the business of licking blood at the edge of a knife. It was inevitable that someone would be hurt. At that time, they didn't have much money, so I sold them medicine at a low price. Later, the Luo family developed, right I'm an old man who takes good care of me. "
Luo Hongyue lost no time to interrupt: "can you compare Mr. Wu's character? Most of the credit for the good mercenary business in juejian city is due to Mr. Wu. If he hadn't been generous for years, many mercenaries would have perished. My Luo family is only one of them."
Knowing the whole story of human relations, Zhang Yitian couldn't help but look at the old man with great admiration. At the same time, he also had a trace of depression in his heart. "It's the same family. Why doesn't Wu peipi have such generous consciousness?"
Old man Baicao turned to the subject, "Little brother Zhang, the thing is, in order to recruit elixir masters with real talents as soon as possible, the city Lord's residence issued a notice to the rich and powerful families in juejian City, which made it clear that each family had to send an elitist to participate in the Dan King competition. If the sent elitist could win the championship in the competition, the family leader could become the city Lord He served as the vice mayor of the city.
On the contrary, if the ranking is at the bottom, the tax will have to be increased by 10% in the coming year. However, the payment is small and the loss of face is big. The mercenary Corps pays attention to a reputation status. The louder the reputation is, the more guests will come to admire it. The key vice mayor can hold real power. To put it bluntly, if anyone becomes the vice mayor, he will become the leader of all the mercenary Corps in the city. "
Luo Hongyue frowned and said, "we wanted to invite Master Wu to participate on behalf of the Luo family, but just now you appeared. Master Wu thought your alchemy was above him, so he sent someone to recommend you to the Luo family, but you pushed it off in every way. It was really annoying!" at the end, she clenched her silver teeth and looked angry.
"Look what you said..." Zhang Yitian laughed and said, "I feel a lot of pressure when you say that. If you lose, it will bring bad luck to your Luo family. Compared with the fact that I refuse you now, it will be a big sin."
Luo Hongyue gritted her teeth and said, "if you lose, it's my Luo family. If you win, it's your advantage. My Luo family will never treat your friends badly."
Zhang Yitian questioned, "are you a girl? Can you make a film?"
It's not Zhang Yitian who thinks too much. This is how things are. Although Luo Hongyue is an adult, adults are the least valuable in the big family, especially those who are just adults. They basically have no right to speak unless they are particularly excellent. Poor people are just the opposite. As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early. This is the difference. One is that they don't necessarily have a hand in taking care of things, and the other is that they don't want to bear the oppression of life but are forced to be helpless.
As a poor man, Zhang Yitian has long understood this truth, so he thinks more thoroughly and will consider all aspects. Will the appearance of ziluo red moon be just his wishful decision?
Whether he can represent the family is a very important issue. If the Lord of the Luo family doesn't know about it, even if Zhang Yitian helps, he may cause a lot of coquettish without expecting benefits. There will be no place to cry at that time.
"You look down on people too much." Luo Hongyue is quite angry.
But the elder Baicao is different. He obviously needs to look at the problem more thoroughly and deeply. He understands Zhang Yitian's concerns very well. "Little brother, don't worry. I've sent someone to inform the head of the Luo family. With the consent of the head, Xiao Yue invited you on behalf of the Luo family, so you don't have to worry."
"The Dan King race is about to begin, and the horses are outside. It's too late to go to Luo's house for negotiation, so I'll take you directly to the field. When you arrive at the scene, my father will talk to you in detail." Luo Hongyue put down his words and walked out the door.
Now there is a request, but Zhang Yitian has to give up their intention and go to the meeting generously. But before leaving, he explained the use method of detoxification spirit liquid, and left the spirit liquid to go out without stopping
The venue of the Dan King match is located on the military training ground in the back mountain of the city master's residence. The area here is really not small. It is as big as a football field. There are seats on both sides. In the middle is the pointing platform. The city master of juejian city sits on the high platform. The neighbors are big family leaders in the city and mysterious figures from the great wilderness city.
A small square stone platform with equal size and specifications and a side length of about two meters is paved around the Dianjiang platform. An alchemy furnace and a futon are placed on each platform, and herbs with the same composition are placed next to the alchemy furnace.
When he came to the scene, led by Luo Hongyue, he entered the drill ground. Luo's servants had been waiting in the door for a long time. Seeing Luo Hongyue's appearance, he immediately greeted them. Without saying a word, he led them to the field and found the leader of Luo's family. Like most mercenaries, he was a strong man with a big figure, like a bull.
Looking at the rough face of the man in front of him, and then looking at Luo Hongyue, who is cold and unsmiling but looks sweet and gentle, Zhang Yitian can't imagine that they are a father and daughter, not a passer-by.
"Father, this is Zhang Xuan, the alchemist recommended by Master Wu." Luo Hongyue made a brief introduction.
"I'm Luo Ying. Although I'm the head of the Luo family chamber of Commerce, I'm a big old man. I like to talk and do things straight. It's impolite to take the liberty of inviting Master Zhang to come today. But I promise here that the Luo family will never treat the master badly regardless of the result of the competition." Luo Ying spoke very directly and promised benefits as soon as he met, without pretending to get close.
"Lord Luo, you're welcome!" Zhang Yitian didn't pretend to be confused. He talked about what happened last night. "Last night, my friend and I were in danger in the desert. Fortunately, uncle Ming gave us advice, so we came to juejian city to seek medical treatment. At present, my friend's injury is no longer serious. All this needs to thank the Luo family for their help. It's our duty to help the Luo family."
Making a promise is just to stabilize people's hearts. In fact, Luo Ying's heart is not solid. She wants to listen to Zhang Yitian's statement. Now she has to fulfill her long cherished wish. She suddenly relaxed a lot and said with a smile, "A few small things are not worth mentioning. The desert is not a good place to go. It's also fate to be met by our Luo family caravan. After the Dan King competition, Master Zhang will go to my Luo family to have a rest, or let me make a little of the friendship of the host."
Now the competition is coming. Everything else is nonsense. The most important thing is to understand the situation of the Dan King competition so as not to make any jokes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Luo. Let's talk about it later." Zhang Yitian bypassed the topic. "What are the rules of this competition or what needs attention?"
Luo Ying smiled and said, "the Dan King competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is the preliminary competition. The medicinal materials on the stage should be refined into broken medicine in the shortest time. The longest time should not exceed one incense, otherwise it will be a failure.
The second round increased the difficulty. We had to select a part from a pile of medicinal materials and refine it into pills. Finally, we selected ten alchemists with the highest level of pills from the pills. "Here he paused and frowned," the third round has not been announced, and the content of the competition has not been announced. It will not be announced until the first two rounds are over. "
