Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

Chapter 54 Betrothal to Jinlan

Neither Zhang Chaofan nor Liang Sisi were short of money, and of course they would not let the boss waive the bill easily. Zhang Chaofan said politely: "Boss Fang, thank you for your kindness. The consumption of so many of us is not a small amount." , After all, it’s not easy for you to do business, so I’ll pay the bill this time. If I come by myself next time, I won’t bother you.” The boss Fang Hongjian hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Zhang Chaofan said was very true, so he didn’t He insisted again and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, remember to come next time." Zhang Chaofan replied: "Okay, it's a deal, I will come again next time. Then please do what Boss Fang said just now." Yes, please have two portions of each of the signature dishes. In addition, I have just arrived in the Imperial City not long ago. I have never been to the Imperial City before and I am not familiar with it at all. I would like to ask Boss Fang to give me a good introduction. But good?"

Fang Hongjian also looked very happy. As soon as Zhang Chaofan finished speaking, he immediately said: "I want Mr. Zhang to know that I have been here in this market for some years and I am quite familiar with it. Moreover, I am the same as this market." All the major shops in the market are all familiar with each other. If Mr. Zhang and his party encounter anything in this market, I may be able to provide some help." After hearing what Fang Hongjian said, The Liang family on the side would not be happy in their hearts. The Liang family is one of the four major forces in the imperial city. There are many shops belonging to the Liang family in this city. If their eldest daughter, Liang Sisi, did not want to trouble her family, Shop, and I want to try this spicy restaurant. Why do I need the care of the owner of such a restaurant? Someone has already come to make arrangements.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Chaofan and Fang Hongjian to know the thoughts of the Liang family, but Liang Sisi continued to keep a low profile and did not say anything. Zhang Chaofan had no choice but to say again: "The relationship is good, maybe I will bother to go to Boss Fang's place in the future." At this moment, the hotel steward brought many delicious dishes, and the aroma emanating from these delicious dishes made everyone present Everyone's appetite increased greatly, especially the three beauties including Liang Sisi secretly swallowed their saliva. Zhang Chaofan invited Fang Hongjian to sit down and have lunch with him. Fang Hongjian did not refuse and sat down generously on the seat next to Zhang Chaofan. He asked the steward in charge of this box to call another companion and give instructions. Together they try their best to serve.

Seeing that a lot of delicious food had been served, Zhang Chaofan suggested that everyone start eating. Everyone ate quietly. Even if someone talked, they would try to keep their voices down. Unlike some countries on earth, people like to be lively when dining, and everyone talks loudly without any scruples, as if no one else is around. But here Zhang Chaofan was the only one who asked Fang Hongjian to continue to introduce the situation of the city in a low voice, and the subtle voice he made seemed small and clear. The two of them chatted softly while eating delicious food. As the conversation between the two deepened, Zhang Chaofan confirmed what he learned during the conversation with the places he visited in the morning. Zhang Chaofan basically understood the situation of this city. He originally thought that he had visited the city in general. Two-thirds, after this understanding, they realized that they had only visited a corner of Fangshi. The Shushan Restaurant where they are now is still a long way away from the center of Fangshi! They had just walked through the temporary stall area, and they hadn't even finished walking yet. From this, it can be seen that the area of ​​​​this market is very large. It took them almost a whole morning to find just one corner of this market. Of course, visiting the market is not like simply walking. You can just walk through it. Visiting the market requires you to stop in front of stalls and shops, which takes a lot of time.

From Fang Hongjian's mouth, Zhang Chaofan learned that there were two largest stores in this market, namely Jubaolou and Zhenbao Pavilion. Jubao Tower was opened by the Ba royal family and belongs to the Ba royal family. This Jubaolou branch is located in all cities in Pakistan. This Jubaolou in this city is the headquarters of the entire Jubaolou. It contains some treasures that are difficult to find.

There is another more famous store called Zhenbao Pavilion. Speaking of this Zhenbao Pavilion, it is very famous. Its branches are all over the southern mountainous countries, and this Zhenbao Pavilion in Fang City is just one of the many branches of Zhenbao Pavilion, but when it comes to the branches in this city The Jubao Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion are both inferior in scale and strength. The Treasure Pavilion is still inferior to the Jubao Pavilion in terms of the variety and quality of the treasures. Treasures often cannot be found in the Treasure Pavilion. They are all sold in the Treasure Pavilion.

Exactly which country in the south the headquarters of Zhenbao Pavilion is located, and which power it belongs to, is a secret that is unknown to most people. It is a mystery to most people. Of course, people who go to Zhenbao Pavilion don't care about this, as long as they can buy what they want. Since the two stores are in a competitive relationship with each other, they have never been very good at dealing with each other secretly, and the relationship is not very good to begin with. However, after all, Jubao Tower is owned by the Pakistani royal family. Under the care of the Pakistani royal family, there are still many conveniences for operating activities in Pakistan. Therefore, although the two families are fighting fiercely secretly, they still maintain superficial peace and do business. When it comes to fighting but not breaking up, after all, both sides are just seeking money, and there is no need to fight for their lives with real swords and guns. That will bring losses to both sides, which is not in line with the ultimate purpose of pursuing interests by both sides.

Zhang Chaofan has decided that he must visit the two largest stores in the city. Although there are countless treasures in Zhang Chaofan's safe world, which are enough to meet his cultivation needs, and he doesn't care what he must gain from the two shops, there is nothing to lose if he goes to see them. Spending some time to see it can also open your eyes. If he could meet the opportunity between the two shops and pick up something missing, it would make him happy.

Fang Hongjian also told Zhang Chaofan that there was an auction house run by the royal family in the center of the square, which often held auctions. And there is a larger monthly auction tomorrow. Zhang Chaofan asked Fang Hongjian what the conditions and requirements would be for participating in such an auction. Fang Hongjian told Zhang Chaofan that he only needed to be able to get one million spiritual stones and verify the capital for the auction house to be eligible to participate in the auction. If you can get 10 million spirit stones, you can enjoy VIP-level treatment. The auction house will arrange a VIP private room for the bidders, and you can also bring your entourage into the private room to participate in the auction. Zhang Chaofan thought in his heart: This auction house is really greedy for money. It is obvious that people are divided into three, six or nine grades.

However, Zhang Chaofan knows that this practice can be found everywhere, regardless of any social structure, money and status will exist. The practices and customs of some countries on earth are very similar to this. Things that only recognize money but not people often happen. In those places, people regard money as everything. In essence, money was originally created by human beings. In turn, money controls the destiny of human members, making people become slaves of money. We should really sigh, how pathetic are human beings who claim to be the spirits of all things! Thinking about this, will humans become slaves to the intelligent objects they create in the future? It’s really possible!

As for the spiritual stones that can be used as currency in the Extraordinary Cultivation Continent, Zhang Chaofan has a lot of them. Lin Xiaoyun brought out 100 million spiritual stones from home, leaving only 20 million spiritual stones for herself, and the other eight Zhang Chaofan has tens of millions of spiritual stones to carry with him. With these 80 million spiritual stones in his body, and there are countless spiritual stones in the safe world, Zhang Chaofan is full of confidence. Just as far as the spiritual stones are concerned, Zhang Chaofan is really It’s not bad for money! Zhang Chaofan has also made up his mind. He will find a hotel to stay in this city tonight. He is not in a hurry to return to the academy. He must go to the auction tomorrow.

After drinking and eating, Zhang Chaofan took the initiative to call the restaurant manager in charge of the box to pay the bill before Liang Sisi could make any move. Afterwards, after coming out of the restaurant, Zhang Chaofan asked Liang Sisi what his plans were next. Liang Sisi told him that the Liang family and his group were no longer going to accompany Zhang Chaofan for casual shopping, but wanted to go directly to their Liang family store. , she came here with a family mission to inspect the store business. At that moment, Liang Sisi said goodbye to Zhang Chaofan, agreed to meet again next time, and thanked Zhang Chaofan for his hospitality.

Zhang Chaofan chuckled and said, "I just had a casual meal with Fairy Liang. Please don't mind, Fairy Liang. Since Fairy Liang still has other tasks, please excuse me, Fairy Liang. Just go and handle family affairs. Business is more important." "Yes." Liang Sisi didn't waste any more time and led her family in one direction. This left only Zhang Chaofan and his group of six.

Zhang Chaofan asked Fang Hongjian who was accompanying him: "Boss Fang, does your restaurant have guest rooms for overnight stays? I don't plan to return to the college today." Fang Hongjian replied: "Mr. Zhang, we hit it off right away. , we are very similar in age. If Mr. Zhang doesn’t mind, we might as well become brothers with different surnames. What do you think, Mr. Zhang? As for the guest rooms, in this city, as long as it is a restaurant, it usually has food and accommodation. I This Shushan Restaurant is no exception and also has many guest rooms.”

Because we already know that Fang Hongjian also traveled from the earth, and he is a rare fellow countryman in this vast universe. Zhang Chaofan agreed without thinking and agreed to become brothers with different surnames with Fang Hongjian. After getting Zhang Chaofan's approval, Fang Hongjian led Zhang Chaofan and his group to his living courtyard behind the restaurant, and asked people to prepare the incense table. Afterwards, the two formally announced their names and ages to each other, and held a sworn ceremony. During the ceremony, the two Everyone said the cliché "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day", and they officially became brothers with different surnames. Due to his religious practice, Fang Hongjian looks like he is only in his teens or 20s, but in fact he is already dozens of years old in this world. Of course, if Zhang Chaofan calculated his age on earth, it would be dozens of years. In the end, the two of them discussed and decided on the age between them according to the order in which they came to the Transcendent Cultivation Continent. In this way, Fang Hongjian became the elder brother without hesitation, and Zhang Chaofan had no choice but to become his younger brother.

After marrying Jinlan, the two of them felt a little closer. Fang Hongjian said: "Since we have become brothers, Brother Yu will accompany you to the auction tomorrow, because I have been in this market for a long time and know many people. I also have acquaintances in this auction house. It should be more convenient if I go with you." Zhang Chaofan originally didn't want to trouble Fang Hongjian, but since his sworn brother proposed, he didn't refuse and just asked Fang Hongjian if he didn't want to take care of the restaurant business. ? He couldn't bear to have his brother's business affected. Fang Hongjian said: "I'm married. When I'm away, the restaurant manager helps me take care of it. If the manager can't make up his mind, he can ask your sister-in-law for instructions, or he can contact me by sending a letter. It's up to me to decide." When Jian said this, Zhang Chaofan just said "Oh" without saying anything else, which was regarded as acquiescing to Fang Hongjian's statement.

Because there was still one afternoon, Zhang Chaofan, after greeting Fang Hongjian, left Shushan Restaurant with his five companions and headed towards the Treasure Collection Tower. He wanted to go and see the Treasure Collection Tower. Because Jubao Tower is closer to Shushan Restaurant, we went to Jubao Tower first. Because Zhang Chaofan had a clear purpose, he did not visit other shops along the way. Therefore, it didn't take long for Jubao Tower to appear in front of them. They walked a few steps and came to the gate of Jubao Tower. This treasure gathering building is very grand, showing the royal style and majesty. There was a pair of lifelike carved stone lions placed in front of the door. The two guarding men, one on each side, stood under the mouth of the stone lion. When they saw Zhang Chaofan and his group arriving, they just glanced at them with their eyes and said nothing. . Zhang Chaofan raised his legs and was about to go in, when a group of people crowded in from behind. Among them, an old man stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Chaofan and the others aside, and shouted softly: "The two princes are here, the rest of the people are waiting for you." I get out of the way."

Zhang Chaofan didn't expect something like this to happen, and he didn't pay attention. He was actually pulled aside by the old man. Hearing the old man's voice, Zhang Chaofan knew who this group of people was without even looking. The reason why he was pushed aside was because he was too lazy to argue with them. Although he didn't want to argue, Ali and Azhu didn't want to do anything anymore. Ali raised his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and lifted the old man from the ground effortlessly like an eagle catching a chicken. In the later stage of Nascent Soul, in front of the peak Nascent Soul after being suppressed in the Divine Transformation Realm, that is certainly not a problem. The old man who was lifted up realized that he had hit something hard. He was so frightened that he did not dare to speak. He just looked at their masters, the two princes, asking for help. Zhang Chaofan didn't want to make the matter bigger, so he called out to Ali to put down the old man. Ali obediently let go of his hand and threw the old man to the ground. After the old man got up, he still did not dare to make a sound. He just stood there blankly and looked at the 18th Prince and the 25th Prince again, expecting them to use their status to stand up for him and regain face.

The Eighteenth Prince and the Twenty-fifth Prince had known for a long time that it was Zhang Chaofan and the others who were deliberately looking for trouble, so they signaled the old man to take action. However, after seeing Ali's strength, they suddenly became frightened and thought of that. The thought of looking for trouble was also extinguished. With unwillingness on their faces, the two of them forced out a coy smile and reluctantly raised their hands to Zhang Chaofan and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Zhang. My servants didn't see it clearly. I hope Mr. Zhang doesn't care about it. "Zhang Chaofan just smiled. He didn't want to say anything. After thinking about it, he still replied: "Both princes are people of status. They should restrain their subordinates in this public place and not do anything like bullying. It’s best to do this, so as not to hurt the royal family’s face and damage its majesty.”
