Chapter 278 Guests
Zhang Dingtian was stunned for a moment, but returned to normal after a moment, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior, I am serious, I am only at the peak of Qi refining. Although I am only one step away from building the foundation, this is the last level, through the ages. I don’t know how many monks have been trapped to death! It’s truly a blessing to see the senior’s grace today!”
"Hahaha! Zhang family master is too humble!" Liang Yan laughed, stretched out his hand to pat Zhang Dingtian's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Liang is new here, he is really unfamiliar with the place, and there are many things he doesn't understand. I also want to ask the head of the Zhang family for advice."
Zhang Dingtian's expression did not change, he cupped his hands towards Liang Yan and said, "I don't dare to ask for advice! Seniors, please come in. I have already ordered my servants to prepare refreshments. If seniors have any questions, Zhang will answer them all!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan stopped being polite and walked inside first. The Zhang family followed respectfully. They passed through a courtyard and finally came to an exquisite hall.
"Senior, please take a seat!" Zhang Dingtian said respectfully again.
Liang Yan did not refuse, nodded and sat down on the main seat. As soon as he sat down, a servant of the Zhang family came forward to pour tea, and the fragrance came out. Even if he just smelled it, he felt refreshed.
"Senior Liang, this is the 'Songling Tea' that is a specialty of Cangya Mountain. It has a good effect on us cultivators to calm down our mind and even strengthen our foundation and strength. Originally, our Zhang family only had three jars. After learning that Senior is here today, I ordered someone to take it out early, and I hope you can taste it." Zhang Dingtian explained to Liang Yan's left hand side.
"Don't rush to enjoy the tea now." Liang Yan waved his hand and said, "I still have a few questions I want to ask."
"Okay, senior, please ask."
Liang Yan nodded and said: "Where is this Zhiyuan City? Why is the teleportation array of Huang Jue Palace built in a mortal market?"
"Senior, you don't know something now." Zhang Dingtian said with a slight smile: "This Zhiyuan City is not an ordinary mortal city, there are many cultivators in it."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Liang Yan showed a hint of interest.
"Zhiyuan City has a special geographical location. There is a medium-sized spiritual vein less than a hundred miles west from the city gate. Huang Jue Palace attaches great importance to this. Therefore, the city lord and upper-level officials of Zhi Yuan City are all disciples of Huang Jue Palace. , the mortal court of Wu State has no control over it and does not dare to control it."
"That's it!" Liang Yan nodded and then asked: "Then what is the highest level of cultivation in Zhiyuan City?"
After hearing this, Zhang Dingtian thought for a while and said: "The cultivators in Zhiyuan City basically only operate in the XC area and rarely show up. We don't know very well. But I heard that the city lord of Zhiyuan City is already a foundation builder. Later cultivation."
"Later stage of foundation building!" Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Huang Jue Palace attaches great importance to the spiritual veins and the teleportation array! By the way, I heard what Zhang Zhong said before, in addition to spiritual stones, the teleportation array is used In addition, you also require a transmission certificate from Huang Jue Palace?"
Zhang Dingtian nodded and said: "This is true. Although this transmission voucher is not a treasure, it is still a rare thing. Zhang had cooperated with a chamber of commerce controlled by Huang Jue Palace in his early years, and he got it by chance. Such a picture."
"Is that so? Can you please ask the head of the Zhang family to donate this thing to me? The price is easily negotiable." Liang Yan asked tentatively.
Zhang Dingtian smiled heartily and said: "Haha, senior, you are serious! Although a mere voucher is rare, if we can make friends with people like senior, our Zhang family can still get it! It's just..."
"But what about it?" Liang Yan glanced at him and asked with an expression that was half a smile but not a smile.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Zhang Dingtian's face. After a long time, he raised his hand to Liang Yan and said, "Let me tell the truth to you, senior. On Cangya Mountain, our Zhang family was the first among the four major Qi refining families. It's just that The previous head of the family died young, and the family was even more poorly managed, and now it is far inferior to the other three major families."
"Especially during this period, there are undercurrents surging in Cangya Mountain. I suspect that the other three families will join forces to suppress or even wipe out our Zhang family. In order to preserve the family's foundation, Zhang has a ruthless request here. I hope that seniors can be here. Stay here for one night, so that the other three major families will definitely suspect that the senior has an old relationship with our Zhang family, and they will not dare to take action rashly in a short period of time."
"It turns out that I want to use my name to scare the other three major families." Liang Yan said indifferently: "There is no problem with this, but I have agreed in advance that I will only stay here for one night. If I want Liang to replace me, I will stay here for one night." You kill someone, but don’t even think about it.”
"Of course!" Zhang Dingtian said quickly: "Senior is worrying too much. We just want to use his reputation to protect ourselves. We will never let senior kill people."
"Yes." Liang Yan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's do as the head of the Zhang family said, but I hope to see the transmission voucher appear at the door of my room early tomorrow morning. As for what is needed For the spiritual stone, the head of the Zhang family just asks for the price, and Liang won’t lose a penny!”
"Senior, don't worry. This transfer certificate from the Imperial Palace will be presented to you tomorrow morning!" Zhang Dingtian seemed to be overjoyed. He bowed to Liang Yan repeatedly, clapped his hands again and said:
"Zhang Yan, Tong Yu! You two take senior to your guest room and be careful and wait for me. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Two charming female voices sounded almost in unison.
I saw two people walking in from outside the hall, both girls in their twenties and eighties. The one on the left had creamy skin, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and her long, smooth hair was tied up with an ebony hairpin, which made her look full of ancient charm. The one on the right is a young girl with a round, pink face and big eyes. She smiles sweetly and reveals two shallow dimples, making her look very cute.
"Sir, please come with us!"
After the two people walked into the hall, they bowed to Liang Yan Yingying. They didn't seem to be very afraid. They didn't call him "senior", but called him "young master".
Although Liang Yan was not good at this, at this moment the head of the Zhang family could not refuse the kindness, and he was asking for help from others, so it was not easy to brush him off in person, so he could only cough dryly, stand up and say calmly:
"Please lead the way!"
"Giggles, you are so polite, sir!" The girl Gu Yun smiled shyly, saluted him again and said, "This way, please!"
Liang Yan nodded upon seeing this and said no more. He turned around and followed the two girls, walking out of the hall and walking towards the VIP room with twists and turns.
And on this not-so-long road, from time to time, the sweet voices of two girls and the charming laughter of Su Mei could be heard.
