Chapter 266 Xuan Xin
"you are?"

Zhang Yuan stopped and looked at the Taoist who was blocking his way in confusion.

This Taoist was not tall, but was fat and strong with a ruddy face. He looked a bit ugly, with a big mole at the corner of his mouth that was particularly eye-catching, and there were two black hairs growing on it.

Zhang Yuan had no impression of this person and certainly had never seen him before.

"Immortal Xuanxin."

The short and fat Taoist bowed his head with a hint of reserve and said, "I am currently the steward of the inner palace."

Inner Palace Manager?

Zhang Yuan calmly replied, "So you are Manager Xuanxin. May I ask what can I do for you?"

To be honest, his first impression of this guy was not good.

Especially in the other person's eyes, there was a hint of complacency and greed.

Although this inner palace steward concealed it very well, he could not hide it from Zhang Yuan's extremely sharp intuition!
"Is such that……"

Xuan Xin rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I have been learning alchemy from Master Huineng. Recently, I need a batch of golden thread dendrobium for compounding. I wonder if Dharma Protector Zhao still has some left?"

"I am willing to pay a high price for it!"

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the other party would actually ask him to buy the Dendrobium, so he shook his head and replied, "Sorry, I have already handed in all the Dendrobiums I collected for the Daogong mission, and there is not a single one left."

He himself doesn't know how to make medicine, so how could he possibly keep the Dendrobium!

Moreover, if fresh Dendrobium is kept for a long time without knowing how to process it, its medicinal properties will be greatly lost.

"So this is ah."

Xuan Xin was not surprised and made a new request: "Then can you take me to the place where the dendrobium is mined? I am willing to pay fifty Dao Gong as hard work fee!"

Zhang Yuan was stunned - the other party's shamelessness was really beyond his expectations.

But Xuan Xin looked at him with a smile, as if the request he had just made was reasonable and there was no problem at all.

"Feel sorry."

Zhang Yuan realized that the other party was not a good person, so he replied coldly: "No."

The Dendrobium he obtained was collected from the strange nest.

Although Zhang Yuan had picked all the gold and silver threads of Dendrobium, unless he had been kicked in the head by a donkey, how could he possibly bring the other party to his hunting ground?

You know, there are a lot of valuable herbs in that area.

Zhang Yuan originally planned to go back and continue looting!
Just fifty skills?

What a joke!
"Guardian Zhao."

Zhang Yuan's refusal made the smile on Xuan Xin's face disappear suddenly, and his eyes turned gloomy as he looked at him: "I know that you have a good relationship with Xuan Cheng."

"But in this Heavenly King Palace, my words carry some weight!"

If soft means don’t work, try hard means?
The naked threat from the other party made Zhang Yuan laugh instead: "Manager Xuanxin, since you need Dendrobium chinense, why don't you post a Taoist task to buy it?"

Xuan Xin was suddenly speechless.

He can't say that he has other intentions, right?
In fact, what Xuan Xin was seeking was not Dendrobium golden thread at all, and the need for refining medicine was just an excuse.

What really interests him is the place where Dendrobium officinale grows!

The golden thread dendrobium that Zhang Yuan had handed over in the outer hall before was not only in large quantity, but also of very good quality.

It's obvious that they were dug from the same place.

In short, Zhang Yuan was lucky enough to discover a sacred place in Taiwu Mountain.

But Zhang Yuan obviously didn't realize this.

Or I don’t understand at all.

Xuan Xin knew this, so he became greedy.

However, Zhang Yuan was not someone who could be easily fooled, and his attitude was very firm.

This made Xuan Xin suddenly furious.

As a result, before the inner palace manager could react, Zhang Yuan had already left leisurely without giving him any face at all!
Xuan Xin stared at Zhang's receding figure, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan could feel the vicious gaze coming from behind him.

He was very annoyed. He didn't like to cause trouble, he just wanted to practice martial arts quietly, his goal was to break through the seventh level within ten years.

But people in the world have no choice but to do what they want. Many times, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to cause trouble, but trouble just happens to find him.

For example, the group of hunters who robbed the road before, and now Xuan Xin.

Zhang Yuan also knew that exchanging so many golden dendrobiums for Taoist merits would inevitably attract some jealousy and covetousness.

But I didn't expect someone to jump out so quickly.

And it looks like he’s from a prominent background!

When Xuan Xin talked about Xuan Cheng, there was not a trace of respect or courtesy in his words.

You must know that Xuan Cheng is now a mage and is from the Han family of Xiaxu, so he has considerable weight in the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

Xuan Xin must have a strong background.

The possibility that I was bluffing just now is very low.

Being targeted by such a character would undoubtedly be a big trouble!
But to say that Zhang Yuan was afraid would be a joke.

Zhang Yuan has encountered many hardships and dangers since he embarked on the journey of martial arts, but he has never knelt down and is not afraid of any difficulties or obstacles.

His will has been tempered time and time again and has become indestructible!

Hyun Shin might be a big trouble.

But what does Zhang Yuan have to fear?
It's nothing more than fighting against enemies with our generals and covering the water with earth.

Zhang Yuan didn't even have the intention to go to Xuan Cheng to ask questions or help.

After all, the latter is not his nanny and it is impossible for her to stand up for him in everything.

Zhang Yuan can't afford to lose face!
Instead of going directly back to his home, he went to the familiar dental clinic.

Zhang Yuan found the broker who helped him buy the two houses and entrusted him with a business deal.

That is to renovate the house.

He planned to connect to the house next door that he had just bought to expand the courtyard area to facilitate practicing martial arts.

There is a lot of work involved here.

First, the wall shared by the two houses had to be demolished, then a few side rooms had to be removed, and then a well had to be filled in.

In addition, after the door is opened, the door must be opened again and the original one cannot be used.

Zhang Yuan also wants to repave the ground of the new yard.

Just use the best and hardest granite.

Including the overall repairs and painting, his idea was to complete the project within twenty days.

The result shocked the dentist: "Sir, twenty days may not be enough!"

Such a large project would normally take at least one or two months.

"I can add money."

Zhang Yuan, who had three hundred taels of gold, turned into a monk named Jia Qian and said, "Find more people and complete my request within twenty days. Then I will give you another commission."

The dentist and the owner of the pawnshop looked at each other in bewilderment.

The latter swallowed and nodded vigorously: "My lord, I am willing to do my best!"

now it's right!

Zhang Yuan smiled and immediately placed a fifty-liang gold ingot in front of them: "This is the deposit, if you pay more, I will refund you, if you pay less, I will make up for you!"

The standard exchange rate for fifty taels of gold is five hundred taels of silver.

In fact, you can get more.

This amount of money is more than enough to build a new house.

Zhang Yuan's generous move made the broker and the shopkeeper feel completely relieved, and they immediately began to arrange the relevant work.

Zhang Yuan also handed the room key to the other party.

He went to Taiwu Mountain again the next day.
