Chapter 238 Business

Shi Yan slapped his head hard, and finally came back to his senses from the shock.

I slept for more than half a month! When I thought of this, a chill ran down my spine. I dared not sleep anymore.

But half a month was still short. After all, the blood that Shi Yan drank was quite famous. How could something that could directly raise one's cultivation to the second level be bad? It should take at least one and a half months to digest and absorb the blood. However, because the "Night Beasts" and the Moon Cauldron on Shi Yan's body also absorbed the energy of the blood, the absorption process was three times faster, and the energy Shi Yan took in was also much less.

"I slept for half a month. Doesn't that mean the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show is about to start?" Shi Yan just remembered that his elder sister had told him to investigate the cave before the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show. If he was delayed, it would be bad. The Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show was secondary. To be honest, if it wasn't for his elder sister forcing him, he would never have participated in this useless martial arts show. It was such a waste of time. But the things his elder sister had told him to do could not be delayed.

The arena for the Twelve Gates Grand Martial Arts Show is located in the central city of the northern border, Luo City!

However, Luocheng is half a month's journey away from Longqian Village where we are now. Even if we travel day and night, it will take seven or eight days. How can we make it in time?

Zhang Xiuxiu, the genius fortune teller, said, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the Twelve Sects' Grand Martial Arts Performance. Right now, there are banners of the Twelve Sects' Grand Martial Arts Performance everywhere, and people are coming and going. It's almost like a festival, very lively."

It is obvious that this girl has been acting crazy these days. This poor girl grew up in a mining area. These days should be her first time to be paraded through the streets. Looking at her smiling face, Shi Yan felt a little relieved.

"Why, it's just twelve sects fighting each other, what's the point, why is even Longqian Village busy?" Shi Yan didn't take the Twelve Sects Grand Martial Arts Show seriously, but it didn't mean that others didn't take it seriously. If they won the Twelve Sects Grand Martial Arts Show, it would certainly improve their reputation, and they could be considered the number one sect in the three regions of Bianyun. Apart from anything else, the old men in these falsely named sects all care about it very much. What's more, there are a lot of prizes to reward them. Can the things that Tianmen Domain brings out be bad?

"You are confused after sleeping. This is Luocheng, not Longqian Village." Zhang Xiuxiu touched Shi Yan's forehead and said strangely, "It's not hot, it doesn't look like a fever. Why did Brother Yan talk nonsense at that time?"

"Luocheng!" Shi Yan stood up suddenly and looked at the people around him in disbelief, but seeing that they were all very serious and did not seem to be joking, Shi Yan began to believe it a little. Could this really be Luocheng?

I opened the window and saw a bustling crowd outside. The liveliness was far beyond what Longqian Village could compare to. The streets were also hung with banners saying things like "Luocheng welcomes you." "Congratulations on the grand opening of the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show." "Welcome friends from the three regions of Bianyun to gather in Luocheng," and so on. It seemed that this really was Luocheng.

"Haha, Luo Cheng is great." Shi Yan was originally worried about delaying his sister's business, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mo Feng ran up and said, "Boss, Qian Da is here again."

"Qian Da?" Shi Yan was stunned and looked at him, "What is Qian Da doing here?"

Ye Yier smiled and said, "During the days you were unconscious, Qian Da came several times and said he wanted to repay you for saving his life."

"For saving my life?" Shi Yan was even more confused. When had he saved him?

"Qian Da has come here many times in the past half month, and he also brought many precious medicinal herbs. Look, the blood-colored bamboo tip tea before the rain was sent by him. It tastes quite good."

"Precious materials?" Shi Yan chewed for a while, and suddenly remembered that he said he would return a puppet to Mo Chou, but the materials were nowhere to be found. Isn't it just right to ask Qian Da! Qian Da is the leader of the independent war group. The vitality of the independent war group usually comes from the materials sold on spirit beasts. Isn't that just right! It also saves him from looking for them one by one.

"Hurry, take me to see him." Thinking of this, Shi Yan didn't care about anything else, put on his clothes and walked out the door. Everyone didn't know what Shi Yan was thinking, and although they were depressed, they didn't ask much. Seeing that Shi Yan was so lively, they went about their own business.

In the corridor, Shi Yan realized that the place he was in was a detached hall, which was rented out for the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show. It cost ten third-grade spirit stones a day. Don’t these prodigals know how to save money? Shi Yan complained in his heart.

Fortunately, he made a lot of money from selling mirages, otherwise Shi Yan would have cried to death.

But this was a good idea for Shi Yan. Now Luocheng was a gathering place for people from the three regions of Bianyun. If he sold the Mirage here, wouldn't he make a lot of money? Now the new Mirage had already spread, but the problem was that the quantity was limited, and only Kong Hai in Zimu Liuhua Region could sell it, so even if he wanted it badly, he couldn't buy it. This was a business opportunity, a huge business opportunity!

Shi Yan, who was imagining countless spirit stones entering his pocket, finally arrived at the guest hall, only to see Qian Da drinking tea. Before he even reached him, Shi Yan smiled and bowed, saying, "Brother Qian, you are such a jerk. You didn't inform me earlier when you came, so that I could go out to greet you. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"No, no, I am sorry for disturbing your rest by visiting you." Seeing Shi Yan coming, Qian Da quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I am relieved to see that you can wake up, brother Shi. Brother Shi, are you in good health?"

Shi Yan waved his hand, "It's nothing serious, I've had a good sleep and I'm fine."

Qian Da sighed and said, "Hey, thanks to you, I will never forget your kindness!" He bowed, but Shi Yan quickly supported him and said, "Hey, I call you brother, so we are a family. We are a family and we don't have to say anything about gratitude. Come over and sit with us more often when you are free."

"But......"

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Shi Yan immediately said, "If you keep doing this, I won't acknowledge you as my big brother!"

Qian Da was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's me, brother, who is too pedantic."

Shi Yan and Qian Da sat down together. Qian Da took a sip of tea and said, "I'm glad you woke up. We were really worried about you for the past half month. They know the relationship between you and me, so they asked me to tell them that they are very grateful for everything you have done for them."

"This...where do I start?" Shi Yan smiled awkwardly, but he was very happy in his heart. Although it was an unintentional act, the reward was something he had never expected.

"Brother, you don't have to be modest. We all know it well. If it weren't for you, we would have died in the dragon cave. In the end, everyone owes you a life. If you don't wake up because of this, we will all be condemned by our conscience." Then, he took out a large wooden box from the space ring and said to Shi Yan: "Brother, I am from the independent regiment. I am busy outside all day, so I have a lot of good medicinal herbs. These are for you to replenish your body."

Shi Yan didn't refuse and took it. He picked it up and was surprised that it was really heavy!

"By the way, does Brother Qian have these things?" He took out a list and gave it to him. The list recorded the materials of the Mo Chou puppet. He could give it directly to Qian Da so that he wouldn't have to dictate it himself.

Qian Da looked at the list in his hand, took a breath, and then frowned slightly. Shi Yan saw this and felt a pang in his heart, "Is there any difficulty?"

Qian laughed and shook his head, pondering, "These are all good things, and they are not common in normal times. I was just scared. It's hard to get so many good materials together, but fortunately, I have stocks at the Wudong Mine, but not so many. I will ask my brothers to get more for you next time. I remember that Captain Li has this Yunxian Crystal. There is a spirit beast Xianhe near his regiment. You can take out this Yunxian Crystal from the body after killing Xianhe. As for the pine grain stone, it's easy to deal with. This thing is a companion ore of the Wudong Mine. I asked my brothers to pay more attention when mining. As for other materials, I can help you buy some, but I don't know where this Jiumang Dust is. I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. It is said that it is an advanced stabilizer for building mechanical puppets, and it should be mainly in the hands of the Mo family in Mingjing Domain."

"Mo family?" Shi Yan's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said, "It's good that you know the place. I will find a way to get the Nine-point Dust myself. I'll trouble you to collect the materials for me. As for how many spirit stones are needed, you can just tell me directly when the time comes." As he spoke, he took out a fourth-grade spirit stone from his arms and smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know how many spirit stones it will take, so I'll give you a fourth-grade spirit stone first."

"Hey, brother, it's not about spirit stones. You saved my life, so giving these things to you is nothing." Qian Da hurriedly refused. He was kidding. Among these materials, only Jiumangchen had never seen them. Although the other materials were also precious, he knew where they could be found. He would not need so many spirit stones if he sent someone to get some. Qian Da was really shocked when he saw Shi Yan gave him a fourth-grade spirit stone at once.

"No, brothers are brothers, business is business, don't you think so, Brother Qian?" Shi Yan deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Don't blame me for not recognizing you as my brother if you don't accept it!"

"Hey, since you said so, it would be hypocritical for me to refuse. Let's talk about it after I have collected all the materials. You can take this back first, otherwise I won't take a single spirit stone." Qian Da said seriously.

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, okay, Shi Yan will use tea instead of wine here, thank you, Brother Qian."

"What are you thanking me for? Hahaha." Qian laughed loudly, stood up and said, "It's getting late. Brother Shi, you just woke up and need more rest. I won't bother you any more. I'll ask the brothers to collect the materials when I get back. I think it should be done in a week."

"A week? I'll probably still be at the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show in a week." Shi Yan thought for a moment and said to Qian Da, "I may not be here in a week. How about this, you send the things to me in a week and I'll let people know."

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare now. See you, brother Shi!" Qian bowed.

Shi Yan also bowed in the same way and said, "See you, Brother Qian!"
