Chapter 741: King of the Mechanical Realm
The receptionist at the headquarters saw Lin Zhen’s look and immediately understood.
Although he also knew Dong Xiaoqi, how could a medicinal herb dealer compare with a seventh-grade master?
With a smile on his face, the receptionist said to Dong Xiaoqi: "Mr. Dong, are you sure you want to pay for this lady's medicine?"
"Of course, of course. Brother Dong, when have I ever broken my promise? Let's settle the bill quickly."
The receptionist nodded and said, "This lady takes medicine twice a month. Do you pay once or twice?"
"Twice, no need to save money for me."
The receptionist seemed to be more proficient in this than Lin Zhen. He said with a slightly embarrassed look: "Brother Dong, the cost of this lady's medicine is not cheap. You have to think about it carefully."
"Stop talking nonsense! How much can it be if it's not cheap? Can it be 10 billion?" Dong Xiaoqi deliberately said a very large number, trying to attract Ning Qingxuan's attention.
Ning Qingxuan also deliberately showed a look of shock at this time. She already knew Lin Zhen's plan. Since this person was so annoying, there was nothing wrong with giving him a hard time.
Seeing Ning Qingxuan's cute look with her mouth slightly opened, Dong Xiaoqi became even more itchy and did not consider the issue of the medical expenses at all.
"Of course not."
"Then it's settled, just swipe the card."
The receptionist didn't say anything else. He swiped the card directly, entered the amount of the medicine twice, and then asked Dong Xiaoqi to enter the password.
Dong Xiaoqi entered the password smoothly and gracefully.
There are more than 4.4 billion in his card. As a medicinal material merchant, he has become wealthy over the years and doesn't really care about small amounts of money.
The transaction was soon successful, and Lin Zhen received the medicinal materials that Ning Qingxuan used to make pills twice.
"Brother Dong, you are so generous. Thank you for the medicinal herbs."
"Hey, this is just a small matter. My brother and sister-in-law must have been tired from all the journey and haven't eaten yet. Let's go and eat!"
Before Lin Zhen could answer, a prompt appeared in Dong Xiaoqi's dimensional universe.
"Your card balance is less than one billion, and your account level will be downgraded!"
Dong Xiaoqi, who had just been so carefree, was stunned for a moment: "What? The money in my card is less than 1 billion?"
His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at the receptionist: "How much is the medicine cost?"
"Two billion each time, Mr. Dong, you paid twice, a total of four billion."
"You're fucking cheating me!" Dong Xiaoqi was immediately furious and seemed to want to jump over the counter and hit the receptionist.
"Mr. Dong, please be aware that everything you say and do has been recorded. It was you who asked to pay for the lady, and you said that it would be fine if it was less than 10 billion. If you continue to act wildly in the Alchemist Association, I guarantee that you will end up in a very ugly situation!"
The receptionist's words calmed Dong Xiaoqi down, but the muscles on his cheeks still couldn't help but jump, and his eyes fell on Lin Zhen.
"I spent all day hunting geese, but ended up getting blinded by geese. Boy, leave your name, and we'll meet again."
Lin Zhen ignored him and turned back to look at the receptionist: "I think this person is not reliable. Can we not use this purchase in the future?"
The receptionist immediately said, "Great Elder, as long as you give us your orders, we will definitely follow them. Unless this kid can find Vice President Long Geer, he will definitely not be employed any longer."
"I will explain to Vice President Longger."
The receptionist immediately notified an elder-level alchemist to come over.
The elder of the headquarters was a sixth-rank alchemist who was usually in charge of these sundries. After the receptionist told him Lin Zhen's identity and what he had said, the elder immediately smiled at Lin Zhen, then turned to Dong Xiaoqi and said, "You don't have to come to the headquarters anymore. We will no longer purchase your medicinal materials here."
"He he he he is the great elder?" Dong Xiaoqi asked stutteringly, totally unable to believe Lin Zhen's identity.
"Humph! You are such a dog-eyed person who doesn't even recognize the youngest and most recent Grand Elder of the Metaverse. How can you still survive in the medicinal materials world? Get lost!"
The elder waved his hand, and a guard came over and dragged Dong Xiaoqi out.
Lin Zhen never looked at Dong Xiaoqi again, but contacted Long Geer in the dimensional universe.
After a while, a group of old men came from behind, all of them were seventh-grade alchemists! The one walking in the front was a tall alchemist in a red robe, who laughed out loud when he saw Lin Zhen.
"Hahaha! Brother Lin! I've been waiting for you for so long that my hair is turning gray!"
"Lin Zhen has met the vice president."
"Don't be polite, don't be polite, come, let's get to know each other."
At this time, Long Geer took Lin Zhen to meet other senior leaders in the guild.
In addition to him, there are two vice presidents, and more than twenty seventh-grade alchemists, all of whom are great elders.
"This little brother is Lin Zhen. I'm sure everyone knows him. He caused quite a stir a few years ago. Everyone only knows that he is not very strong, but they don't know that he is actually a seventh-grade alchemist in our association. He is also the youngest seventh-grade alchemist known to the Yuanjie. He is less than 1,100 years old this year."
These old men all showed surprise. To become a seventh-grade alchemist, one must have accumulated a lot of experience over a long period of time. These people present were basically all in the realm of immortality. Only by reaching this realm could one hope to reach the seventh grade.
A seventh-grade alchemist who is over a thousand years old is simply unheard of.
The elders vied with each other to talk to Lin Zhen, and for a moment he became the center of the crowd.
"Alright, alright. Elder Lin has come a long way to the Alchemist Guild. Let's let him rest first. The houses are ready. Come with me."
The crowd finally dispersed, and Lin Zhen followed Long Geer to the room that the headquarters had arranged for them.
This is a suspended garden villa. Although there are many such suspended villas around, few people live in them. Most alchemists still choose to live on the ground.
"This villa was decorated for you three years ago. It has a beautiful view and is full of vitality. It's suitable for young people like you who are under 10,000 years old. It just so happens that you have your female relatives with you. You can grow flowers and enjoy it on weekdays."
Going up the suspended steps, Long Geer said to Lin Zhen, "Brother Lin, I have to give you a piece of advice. Your current identity is still a little embarrassing. Of course, you are safe in the association, but here in Qindu, the Alchemist Association's signboard is not so useful. Other giant industries may not give us face. You should be a little low-key when doing things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, in the eyes of some people, your life is very valuable."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, brother, I understand."
"That's good to know. Actually, I'm just worrying too much because I'm old. Your strength is so high that even ordinary immortals can't do anything to you. Your safety won't be a problem either, as long as you don't get into any particularly troublesome situations."
"I know, for example, people from the Universe First Bank and the Dimension Universe Company." Lin Zhen said.
"Not only these few, but also the current Qin royal family and the Falling Star Lake Holy Land. These two places are also very troublesome. When you defeated Qin Jianfeng on the Divine Punishment Star, he and his father had already fled Qin to the Endless Star Sea. The current emperor is a king of a different surname named Zhu Ziheng. He ascended the throne with the support of the current national master. So for the current Qin, the biggest force is not the Dimension Universe Company, but the emperor and the national master!"
"National Master, is that the living legend, Saint-level alchemist Qian Tong?"
"That's right, Qian Tong is a very remarkable person. Our Alchemist Association should have a very high status, but because of his existence, our Association does not have a very high status in Qin State. He also has a group of seventh-grade alchemists under him, and he himself is the only saint-level one. This makes many people in Qin State believe in him instead of the Association!"
At this point, Long Geer exhaled: "Unless President Minos can be promoted to the Saint level and come back, otherwise the Association will probably always be suppressed by Qian Tong."
Lin Zhen thought for a moment: "What about the holy land?"
"Holy Lands generally do not participate in worldly affairs. They have their own world. As long as you do not provoke them, the warriors of Holy Lands generally will not provoke you. Although there are exceptions, they are rare. The people there pursue the pinnacle of martial arts."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Zhen and said, "Brother, if your identity is not a bit embarrassing, I suggest you go to the holy land to practice. After all, a warrior should focus on strength."
"How can we enter the holy land?"
"The Holy Land selects candidates every ten years. Anyone recommended by a country or race can participate. Next year will be the Holy Land's selection. Brother, you should first go to the Qilin Clan to obtain an identity, and then get a recommendation from the Galaxy Giant Beast Alliance Headquarters, and then you can go to the Holy Land."
"Brother, you're right. That's exactly what I thought."
"That's good. I won't talk too much. Brother Lin, take a rest."
Long Geer stood up and said goodbye to Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen saw him out the door.
Back in the room, Lin Zhen saw Ning Qingxuan had just taken the medicine and was staring blankly at the window.
Now is the critical period for Ning Qingxuan's memory recovery. Lin Zhen doesn't want to cause any trouble, so he takes her into the room and hugs her to bed. Although he wants to do something, he can only endure it until she recovers.
********* "Elder Qin, have you heard the news? A new seventh-grade alchemist has arrived at the Alchemist Guild." Ke Xiangnan stood behind Elder Qin, feeling very nervous.
"Don't beat around the bush with me. You just want to say that Lin Zhen is here. I already know about this."
"Now that you know, why aren't you anxious? Lin Zhen is actually a seventh-rank alchemist. The Alchemist Association will definitely value him very much. There is no doubt that they will let Lin Zhen return to the Qilin Clan. He once won first place in the Divine Punishment Star. After he returns to the Qilin Clan, the Alliance may let him enter the Holy Land."
"I know everything you said, how can I not be anxious? But what can I do if I am anxious? The clan leader has mentioned more than once that Lin Zhen is a talent. If Lin Zhen had not been entangled in trivial matters and we had not been obstructing him, I am afraid that he would have been brought back long ago. Moreover, his Galaxy Beast is actually a Black Hole Beast. Do you know what that means?"
Ke Xiangnan's face darkened: "I know!"
"That's good to know. If Lin Zhen comes back, everyone's life will be difficult, so we must find a way instead of relying on me alone."
Ke Xiangnan thought for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no way at all. I know someone who hates Lin Zhen to the core. He also came from the New Territories and is now a Saint Land warrior. If he knew that Lin Zhen was coming, he would definitely attack Lin Zhen. I'll go find him and give it a try."
"Oh! There is such a person in the New Territories? What's his name?"
"When he was in the New Realm, he was called the King of the Mechanical Realm. Now he is in the Holy Land. Lin Zhen killed his son. Do you think he will let Lin Zhen go?"
