Rebellious Contract Beast
Chapter 396 Chen Yuanfeng, the head of the Chen family
Wearing an exquisite ghost market mask on his face, he walked up and bowed to Tsurumi Hatsuun with a respectful tone.
"Oh, I said something was going to happen." In the conscious space, Shen Yi looked at the young man through Tsurumi Chuyun's eyes, opened his mouth, and said "oh haha".
She did not respond to Shen Yi, because the young man in colorful clothes could not see her expression because of the mask.
After about ten seconds, Tsurumi Chuyun sighed in his heart, put away the bench, stood up, patted the clothes for dust, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Thank you." Hearing this, the young man in fine clothes clasped his fists. Just from his tone, you could tell that he was very happy now.
And Tsurumi Chuyun only felt helpless. After all, she had nothing to do now. When she first came in, she saw the so-called underworld soldiers maintaining order in the ghost city by the bridge. Judging from the details, those underworld soldiers were only better than those The soldiers trained by the big family are much stronger, and the armor patterns on the Yin soldiers guarding the young man are more complex and exquisite than those at the entrance of the ghost market. It is not difficult to guess that their combat power will only be more terrifying. .
She could barely cope with it, but what about after that?
With her cultivation level, she has no ability to forcibly break the barrier of different dimensions and leave the ghost market. If she really tries hard, she will be nothing more than a turtle in a jar.
"Then little brother, come with me."
After waving to Tsurumi Chuyun, the Yin soldier behind the young man took another step back self-consciously.
The two were walking side by side on the streets of the ghost town. The young man on the road said: "Little brother, you don't have to worry. We have no ill intentions towards you. On the contrary, we can give you what you want."
"Do you know what I want?" Tsurumi Chuyun asked in a strange tone. The other party shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know."
"Then how are you sure you can give me what I want?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Come this way, we'll be there soon."
"……Um."
"By the way, little brother, you are an alchemist, right?... Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."
"If I said yes, would you believe it?"
"I believe."
"..."
"Little brother, I think you are a smart person. I believe you have already made a guess as to why my elders want to see you."
"It's nothing more than suspicion that I am an alchemist."
"That's right. I hope you won't disappoint my elders."
"What will happen if you disappoint your elders?"
"It's nothing, I'm just sorry for interrupting your business, and we will try our best to compensate you."
"Well..." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded, and then stopped talking. After a while, she asked the other party: "Can you tell me who you are?"
"My surname is Chen." The young man didn't hide anything, but he didn't say much either.
"..." Upon hearing the surname "Chen", both He Jian Chuyun and Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Like other big cities, there are four big families in Jiangzhou City, namely Chen, Zhu, Luo, and Xu. It is said that the Chen family is the most united family in Jiangzhou City, and it is also the family with the shortest history of development, with only two With a history of hundreds of years, it is precisely because of unity that the Chen family has developed extremely fast and its strength far exceeds that of the other three families.
Other big families usually have three to five spiritual powerhouses in charge. The Chen family is different. They have eight spiritual powerhouses, which is almost twice as many as other big families. But forget it. In the end, they have eight spiritual powerhouses. The important thing is that an ancestor of the Chen family has reached the peak of the spiritual level. He is only one step away from breaking through from the spiritual level to the profound level.
This is where the problem lies, forcing the other three families to join forces to contain it and attack and restrict the development of the Chen family from all aspects.
One of our ancestors may break through the realm and become a Xuan-level venerable at any time. It would be fine if no one knew about it secretly, but if this news leaked out, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
So far, nothing has happened to the Chen family, but in fact they have been treated coldly by the three alchemists in the city. Not only are the purchases of elixirs restricted, there are even rumors that the elixirs purchased by the Chen family have some... High-quality magical elixirs like Peiyuan Dan.
Three of the four major families in Jiangzhou no longer play with the Chen family. The Chen family is a city of its own and does not dare to have any resistance. They consciously shrink their industries and reduce their income. They are even more restrained in purchasing elixirs and will not buy them if they can. , even if I have to buy it, I can only buy a small portion, and I will not buy as much as I can, and act very well-behaved, for fear that one day my ancestor will die in the retreat room inexplicably, or Obsessed or something.
No one knows how long it will last. If it continues like this, the decline of the Chen family is inevitable. No other family would be willing to accept this. Who needs a wild alchemist like the old witch the most? There is no doubt that it is the Chen family.
Since they have needs, and there are quite a lot of them, Tsurumi Chuyun has the possibility of long-term cooperation with them.
What the Chen family wants is a channel that can easily obtain elixirs. Without elixirs, their ancestor wants to break through the Xuan level with his own talent. He doesn't know that it will take until the year of the monkey. Once the Chen family's ancestor successfully breaks through the Xuan level, no matter how unhappy the royal family is, , we can't invite a Ming-level saint to come over and wipe out the Chen family. Once there is any movement, the consequences will be disastrous.
Everyone can know some unspoken rules, but once they are brought to the surface, the nature changes. With public outrage, the royal family is not indestructible.
"Haha, people from the Chen family."
"what happened?"
"Is it possible that I am from another family, and your Chen family invites me over, isn't that bad?" Tsurumi Chuyun's tone was still weird, and he stared at the other person after speaking.
After hearing this, the young man paused and couldn't help but look at her clothes. The fine fabrics were not something ordinary people would be willing to buy to make clothes.
"It is possible, but I guess little brother, you are not valued in your family, right?"
"Well, you guessed it right." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded. If she was taken seriously by the Zhu family, she wouldn't be able to move a small bench and sit on the street to set up a stall, so there was no point in continuing to act pretentious.
"We are here, follow me little brother."
Not long after, the young man surnamed Chen brought Tsurumi Chuyun to a splendid restaurant. He turned around and waved to the Yin soldiers. After watching them leave, he made a "please" gesture to the "young man" , then took her into the restaurant and went directly upstairs.
Ding ding~
dong dong~
The soothing rhythm of the vocal music reaches the ears, making people feel weak and weak all over.
The second floor is a lobby. There are many guests wearing ghost market masks. Some are drowsy, some are talking nonsense as if they are drunk, and some are roaring loudly, jumping around like crazy, and indulging in the unknown. of pleasure.
Through He Jian Chuyun's perspective, Shen Yi saw that there was an incense altar in front of the tables of the guests. There were incense sticks on the incense altar. Some had only one stick, while some had three sticks. The more you read, the weirder the behavior of the guests sitting behind the desk became.
"What are those incense?"
He Jian Chuyun frowned slightly, imitating the actions of the young man named Chen, he also raised his hand to cover his nose, and at the same time explained to Shen Yi: "That is the incense of the gods."
"What is the incense?"
"The effect is similar to that of Shenxian Powder, but it is more advanced than Shenxian Powder, and it is also a superior incense. I don't know how the Chen family obtained it."
Shen Yi understood, it was another drug, disgust flashed in his eyes.
Those guests were so obsessed with inhaling the incense that they looked dizzy and grimaced, and all of them lost their human appearance.
In the center of the lobby, there is also a circular stage. The dancer on it is wearing scantily clad clothes, exposing her navel, and twisting her slender waist to the music, which is so eye-catching.
"How is it?" The young man surnamed Chen asked Tsurumi Chuyun.
She nodded and gave an ambiguous answer: "It's okay."
"Those dancers are carefully selected by my Chen family. Each one of them is one of the most beautiful beauties in the world. Do you have a crush on me, little brother? As long as you ask, they will be yours."
"Forget it." He Jian Chuyun shook his head repeatedly.
"it is good."
The young man surnamed Chen didn't waste any time and took her upstairs again until they reached the fifth floor of the restaurant. The surrounding light became dim. The two of them walked in the dark to the innermost room in the corridor and opened the door. , the environment inside was still dim, with only a few candles lit. "Please take a seat."
"I'm not saying that your elders want to see me, but where are they?"
"My elders haven't arrived yet. Please, little brother, please sit down and wait for a while."
"Your elders are not in the ghost market?"
"Yes, but don't worry, he will be here soon."
Hearing this, Hejian Chuyun nodded slightly, found a chair and sat down, while the young man made a pot of tea, poured it and put it in front of her.
After taking a look, she didn't move a word.
"Little brother, can you tell us about the family behind you? Maybe our Chen family can give you some help."
"There's nothing to talk about. Let's talk about your elders."
"Okay, but you don't have to worry. My parents are kind and easy to get along with. I think you and him should be able to chat."
"Really? Let's wait until I see you."
"That's natural..." The two chatted wordlessly. It seemed that they talked a lot, but in fact the young man never revealed much information and basically talked nonsense.
About ten minutes later, the candles in the room suddenly went out, and the surrounding area became invisible. The young man paused at this moment, chuckled, and reminded: "Here he comes."
Tsurumi Chuyun looked forward, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He saw the darkness in front of him change, and a figure appeared. It was like a person wearing black clothes hiding in the darkness, and then putting the black clothes on in front of passers-by. He took it off, revealing clothes of other colors underneath.
The figure walked towards this side immediately after appearing and waved to the young man.
The young man didn't say anything. After nodding, he stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere here was quiet and scary, and the man who appeared from the darkness did not wear a ghost market mask on his face. Tsurumi Chuyun stared at him and gradually saw the other person's appearance. His age looked at Feng Dingzhang. Pretty much the same, with white temples and an ageless look, with sharp features and a sharp look in his eyes.
Seeing him sitting opposite him, He Jian Hatsuun asked, "Who are you?"
"My dear Chen Yuanfeng, you should have heard of me."
"Chen Yuanfeng..." Hearing this name, Tsurumi Chuyun's eyelashes trembled twice.
The current head of the Chen family, Chen Yuanfeng, was a name she had never heard of.
In the conscious space, Shen Yi licked his teeth and couldn't help but said: "Good guy, the head of the family will meet you directly when you come up. This is sincerity enough."
His words echoed in his mind. He Jian Chuyun's expression remained normal and he nodded to Chen Yuanfeng: "Yes, I've heard of it."
"What's your little friend's name?"
"Uh." When she heard the other party's question, her expression was blank for a moment, and she was only focused on disguising herself as a man. She had not thought about what name she should use after disguising as a man, but it was not a problem for her. With a little thought, she saw the corner of her mouth. He raised his head slightly, opened his mouth and spit out three words: "Li Changjue."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted: "Holy crap! Why are you using my name!"
"It's okay. You won't need it anyway. What's wrong with me if I use it?"
"Depend on!"
"..."
Ignoring Shen Yi, Chen Yuanfeng, who was opposite him, took a sip of tea after hearing the name, nodded and praised, "Li Changjue, that's a good name. Who gave it to you?"
"Mr. Chen, let's get down to business and don't beat around the bush."
"Well, since my little friend said so, let's get down to business. Also, how many pills do you have on you?"
"It depends on how much you want."
"Since I invited my little friend to come here, I will never let you down. Naturally, I want as much as you have."
"Master, I'm glad, but there has to be something to put the elixir in, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuanfeng waved his hand, and a basket appeared out of thin air in front of him, which was more than enough to hold several hundred coins.
Tsurumi Chuyun didn't waste any time and directly took out all the elixirs from the storage space.
After hearing a "crash" sound, the basket was filled to the brim, most of which were Peiyuan Pills, accounting for 90% of them. It was visually estimated that there were at least 300 pieces, which was much less than the Beast Yun Dan. , counted together with other elixirs, it only occupies one level.
Seeing so many elixirs, Chen Yuanfeng couldn't help but look at her with deep eyes.
"That's it, Mr. Chen, please pay."
"Don't worry, little friend, can you let me test this elixir?"
"Okay, please, Mr. Chen." Tsurejian Chuyun extended his hand to invite him, and soon he saw that the other party randomly picked a Peiyuan Pill from the basket and put it into his mouth without thinking.
The elixir melted in his mouth and turned into pure spiritual power flowing through his limbs and bones. Chen Yuanfeng closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"how?"
"The quality is so good, it's just as good as the elixirs made by the three people in the city! Let's talk about a price, little friend?"
"How about selling it to you 20% cheaper than the plain clothes outside?"
"Twenty percent, this is a good deal..." Chen Yuanfeng showed a thoughtful look on his face: "That's good, I won't take advantage of you, I will buy whatever is sold outside, but I think you should He is a smart man, and inviting you here is more than just doing business.”
Hejian Chuyun was silent for a while. After ten seconds, she spoke with a faint tone: "Please tell me, Mr. Chen."
The other party smiled, as if he didn't hear her words, and asked instead: "How long have you been in Jiangzhou City, little friend?"
"I don't remember, it must have been a while."
"Then what are your plans for the future, little friend?"
"I've been wandering for a long time, and now I have a place to stay in Jiangzhou City. I don't plan to go anywhere else."
"Yes." Chen Yuanfeng nodded, then as if he thought of something later, he said to the door: "Yun Hong."
"I'm here." The young man's voice came from outside the door.
"Get the money quickly."
"Yes!"
