Supreme Alchemy
31. Storms gather at Wangjiang
Wangjiang City, the capital of Qingzhou, was named Wangjiang because it was built near the river.
Outside Wangjiang City is the Baili River, which runs from east to west and is the largest river in the Dawu Dynasty.
Rumor has it that there is a powerful holy beast in the Baili River, known as the White Emperor, who is powerful and boundless across the rivers and seas.
Wangjiang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is majestic. The city stretches for dozens of miles, and the city walls are as high as a hundred meters high, like a crawling giant beast.
At a glance, there are densely packed ancient buildings, including majestic ancient glazed towers, splendid attics with dozens of floors, and huge docks with tens of thousands of boats moored.
Even before entering Wangjiang City, you can already feel the majestic momentum coming towards you.
There are four gates in Wangjiang City: southeast, northwest and northwest, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
There are wealthy businessmen, scholars, dandies, and women and children.
Outside the city gate, the carriages of Xiao Changfeng and the others were covered in dust.
Although he experienced an ambush by the Yin Snake Sect, he still reached Wangjiang City within ten days.
"Teacher, Wangjiang City has a population of one million. Now that the elixir auction is gathering momentum, the flow of people will be much larger than usual."
Lu Wenjie stopped the carriage, let Xiao Changfeng and Lin Ruoyu step out, and spoke.
Along the way, the closer they got to Wangjiang City, the more news there was about the elixir auction. In the past few days, they had heard various versions of gossip.
Some people say that this is a new drug developed by Zhao Sanqing, which can cure all diseases.
Some said that this was a grand event jointly created by Qingzhou Mu and Zhao Sanqing to enhance the prosperity of Wangjiang City.
Some also said that this was an attempt to use the auction as a way for big bosses from all parties to plot something big.
Various versions abound, making the elixir auction famous.
"Teacher, Lord Qingzhou Mu and the master have been close friends for many years. We should be able to find the master when we go to the city and go to the Qingzhou Mu Mansion!"
Lu Wenjie spoke.
"Okay, then let's go into the city!"
Xiao Changfeng nodded.
The gate of Wangjiang City is extremely wide, enough to accommodate ten carriages traveling side by side.
But today it was overcrowded.
In addition to the crowd, all kinds of luxurious carriages were also parked densely.
There are monsters pulling the carts, and strong men carrying the sedans. They are splendid, precious, and powerful.
Each carriage has a pattern logo, representing a major force.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of pattern logos.
"My dear, what kind of day is it today? So many carriages?"
The people watching the excitement at the gate of the city chatted.
"I don't know, these big shots are here for the elixir auction."
Another passerby touched his chin and spoke.
"Beidaomen, Qingyun Sect, Sima Family, Zhenwu Sect... my God, these are all the big forces in our Qingzhou, and they are all here."
Many people who recognized the carriage logo exclaimed.
I thought it would only affect a few nearby cities, but I didn't expect so many big forces to come. These big forces are all well-known in Qingzhou.
"It seems that I still underestimated Hall Master Zhao's influence."
In the carriage, Xiao Changfeng also admired Zhao Sanqing's influence.
But the more people who come, the better, so that the elixir can become an instant hit.
And when the time comes, when he takes out his trump card again, he will surely sweep everything away.
Xiao Changfeng was looking forward to it.
Because of the large number of people and carriages, the speed of entering the city was also very slow.
From time to time there were some quarrels.
Xiao Changfeng and Lin Ruoyu were sitting in the carriage, not in a hurry, and slowly moved forward with the crowd.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd, and soon the noise continued, including the sound of crying.
"Teacher, it seems that someone suddenly became ill and fainted!"
Lu Wenjie's voice sounded, and Xiao Changfeng stepped out of the carriage and saw the mess at the city gate.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, don't worry!"
"Pharmacist! Is there an alchemist here? Help!"
A female voice sounded like a wailing voice.
Xiao Changfeng walked forward with Lu Wenjie and Lin Ruoyu.
What fell to the ground was an old man in rich clothes.
The old man lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes closed, and his face was ashen.
His breath was extremely weak, death spots had begun to appear on his face and body, his whole body was twitching, and white foam was dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Is there any alchemist? Please save my grandfather. As long as you can save my grandfather, my Yun family will be richly rewarded!"
A woman in elegant clothes was crying with tears in her eyes, casting hopeful glances at the crowd around her.
The woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is slim and graceful, with very beautiful eyes and delicate facial features, like a green lotus, giving people a pure and beautiful feeling.
Her weak and helpless look at this time was even more heartbreaking, and I felt pity for her.
"The Yun family? This is a behemoth in southern Qingzhou. It controls the economic lifeline of southern Qingzhou. I didn't expect that it turned out to be a member of the Yun family!"
Hearing the woman's cry for help, people around her screamed.
Xiao Changfeng looked around and saw the luxurious carriage beside the woman. There was a cloud logo on the carriage.
"Could this old man be the current head of the Yun family, King Yun Dehui?"
"King Yun? It turned out to be King Yun. He is a legendary figure of a generation. He can shake the southern part of Qingzhou with just a stamp of his feet. It's a pity that I am not an alchemist. Otherwise, with the reward of the Yun family, I can reach the sky in one step!"
"King Yun seems to be in a bad situation, and I don't know what kind of illness he has. Hey!"
…
There was a lot of discussion around, shocked by the identities of the Yun family and the old man.
"Get out of my way, Master!"
At this time, the crowd was in commotion, and a young man with an arrogant face walked out.
"I am Chen Hao, a second-grade alchemist from the Sifang Chamber of Commerce. Let me come and take a look at it for King Yun!"
The young man walked up to the girl and smiled gently, but he could not hide the greed in his eyes.
"Second-grade alchemist!"
After hearing Chen Hao's self-narration, everyone around him suddenly took a breath, and then looked at Chen Hao with burning eyes.
The alchemist, whose status is respected, is unique among ten thousand.
Unexpectedly, this young man turned out to be a second-grade alchemist.
The blazing gazes and compliments of the people around him made the arrogance on the young man's face even stronger.
"Master Chen, come and help me. As long as I can, I'll be happy, grandpa, and I'll agree to any conditions you have!"
The woman grasped at a life-saving straw, hoping to speak.
"Don't worry, miss, I'll take care of it!"
Hearing the woman's words, Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
I saw Chen Hao walking next to King Yun, spiritual energy gushing out, as if he was exploring the cause of the disease.
The next moment, his fingers turned into palms and flapped on King Yun's body. As he flapped, King Yun stopped twitching and seemed to be getting better.
"As expected of a second-grade alchemist, his skills are extraordinary!"
"Prince Yun is saved now. Master Chen is really amazing. He was cured so quickly!"
There were praises all around, and the woman's face turned from sadness to joy.
"King Yun is no longer in trouble. You only need to take my elixir and open-air fragrance to recover immediately!"
Chen Hao stopped, sweating profusely, but his face was even more arrogant. He took out a small jade bottle from his arms and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you, Master!"
The woman looked grateful and hurriedly took the small jade bottle and wanted to feed King Yun the elixir of open-air fragrance.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:
"If you think he doesn't die quickly enough, give him this bottle of poison!"
