The only alchemy master in Taixia who has the ability to refine this stone of eternal life but cannot be invited
When Master Pengshan said this, the first thing that came to Zhang Tie's mind was his master Zhao Yuan. With this thought in his mind, Zhang Tie pretended to be a little surprised and asked deliberately, "Brother said this." Who is the master of alchemy? Why is he so powerful that he has the ability to refine this stone of eternal life but doesn’t do anything about it?”
Master Pengshan smiled and gave Zhang Tie a meaningful look, "This man is a famous legend in Taixia. I should have heard of him. He has been ranked first on the wanted list of Taixia Tingwei Mansion for many years. Demon Refiner Zhao Yuan! In the entire Taixia, when it comes to the power of alchemy, no one can match him. I heard that Demon Refiner Zhao Yuan has a weird temperament, ruthless nature, and is extremely powerful. He is also a Sky Knight with four chakras. As a knight of the sky, he is also an extremely powerful master of alchemy, with various methods emerging one after another. I heard that this person has the ability to protect himself even when the Holy Order takes action. Who has the ability to let him refine this kind of person? A stone of eternal life!"
"So that's it!" Zhang Tiehuan realized, and at the same time he also understood the meaning of Master Pengshan's look at him. It turned out that this man was really his master Zhao Yuan, and both Zhao Yuan and him were "popular figures" on Taixia's wanted list. "That's why Master Pengshan looked at him like that. Zhang Tie stood in front of the Nine Dragons Porch, raised his head and looked at the Porch again, "Such a big stone of eternal life, even if it took a lot to carve this Porch, The leftover scraps should be quite considerable!"
"I heard that there were hundreds of tons of scraps cut and carved from the human race's number one stone of immortality. Even these scraps are still the best stone of immortality. After they are cut and carved, they are also very popular and have become the products of many The treasures processed by the alchemists, because the Kowloon Porch is so famous, most of the scraps and small pieces of the Stone of Eternal Life have also been processed into various jade objects named starting with the character nine. The value of each of them has doubled, and this Wanbao Conference Come on, I should be able to see these things!"
"Then I really need to take a look!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"Everything made from the stone of immortality from the Nine Dragons Profound Pass is named with the character nine, but now there are many people who are confused. As long as it is made from the top quality stone of eternal life, everyone now claims that the stone comes from the Nine Dragons Profound Pass. In fact, who knows where it comes from?" Bai Suxian said crisply from the side, "Almost every year, the Guangnan Palace receives several alchemical ornaments that are said to come from the Stone of Immortality from the Kowloon Porch. We also collect a few pieces every year, and the rich and powerful also want two pieces to show off. To add up these pieces, the weight is not just a few hundred tons, but maybe several thousand tons, so what we see on the market now Although the alchemy objects that are said to come from the Kowloon Profound Pass are also refined and processed with the best stone of eternal life, I am afraid that not one of the ten items is real. It is just that no one has the ability to distinguish it. Everyone sees The effect is the same. And because Kowloon Entrance Gate is so famous, everyone pretends not to know. You are really selling it. I am just buying it seriously!"
Zhang Tie shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen to Taixia, and it was in such a high-end field. He had done such a thing before, when he and Tang De opened a grocery store. This is a common trick used by grocery stores, such as some small metal gadgets sold in grocery stores. It was originally purchased from Black Flame City, but the label had to be branded Karul. As long as the quality is not much different and others can't tell the difference, anything with Karul's brand can be sold for a few more coppers. When he was young, he secretly despised Tang De's method. Who would have thought that such a little trick would be so trivial? The method was replicated, and in Taixia it became the Stone of Eternal Life at the Kowloon Porch. The people who were deceived by the trap were also the most elite people in Taixia. Therefore, people are interested in profit and seek fame, so there is no distinction between high and low. From the common people to the knights and princes, they are all the same.
After taking another look at the shocking Nine Dragons Porch, the three people turned around the Nine Dragons Porch and walked directly towards the inside of Wanbao Garden.
After the Kowloon entrance, you enter a hall. This hall is also magnificent. The entire hall is almost more than 100 meters long and more than 30 meters wide. The high dome in the hall is dotted with a crystal chandelier composed of tens of thousands of high-grade crystals. , like a sky full of stars, and on both sides of the hall, there are four bank counters arranged in sequence. Behind each window of the four counters, there is a beautiful Chinese girl standing, each with a smile. They look at the people passing by in the hall cordially and enthusiastically, or serve the people standing in front of their respective windows.
Behind the four counters, there is a sign indicating their identity. The four signs are Xuanyuan Bank, Jinpeng Bank, Pangu Bank, and Oriental Bank.
People were coming and going in the hall. Looking around, most of the people were actually knights. When he came here and saw such a scene, Zhang Tie suddenly felt like he had returned to the Lion Fortress.
The counter windows of the four banks carry out the same business, namely mortgage, guarantee, financing, and lending. Every knight who comes to these bank windows has a dedicated person to receive him. Many knights who have completed the procedures at the counter, Some hurriedly left with documents and certificates issued from behind the counter, while others took out individual gold tickets directly behind the counter and put them into their arms. Others, behind the windows of several counters that Zhang Tie saw, , there were piles of earth element crystals and water element crystals, which were taken away directly by the knight who was doing business at the window.
"The Taixia royal family is behind Xuanyuan Bank. Xuanyuan Bank is also the strongest local bank in Taixia. It has the greatest power and can formulate some industry rules. Similar to foreign central banks, Jinpeng Bank is the most important member of Jin Quan Dao, and With a long history, Jinpeng Bank's strength in Taixia is slightly inferior to that of Xuanyuan Bank. However, Jinpeng Bank's strength and relationship network are the strongest in various overseas subcontinents outside of Taixia, and to this day, Jinpeng Bank has the strongest The identity of the person behind Jinpeng Bank is also very mysterious. It is said that he has never appeared. I only heard my father talk about what kind of committee the top management of Jinpeng Bank is. The identity of everyone on that committee is very mysterious. , and very powerful. They rarely show up, and only one or two of the committee members have contact with Taixia. The members of the top management of Jinpeng Bank have the right to directly meet with Emperor Xuanyuan. This is almost the same as Officials at the three levels of Taixia's three ministers and nine ministers have equal rights. My father guessed that behind Jinpeng Bank, there might be a saint-level figure who even Emperor Xuanyuan is wary of!"
Zhang Tie is the first brother who just arrived in Taixia, so when he first came to Wanbaoyuan, Bai Suxian and Master Pengshan would introduce the situation here to him. It was Bai Suxian who said this just now. Bai Su said that only Zhang Tie and Zhenren Pengshan could hear it directly using the technique of sound transmission. It is estimated that in Taixia, only people of the level of King Guangnan could have access to this information, at least for those of them. Zhang Tie said. He had never known that there was so much information behind Jinpeng Bank.
"Since there is a holy order behind Jinpeng Bank, why would Jinpeng Bank join an organization like Jinquan Dao? As long as there is a holy order, Jinpeng Bank itself can be on an equal footing with several major sects in Taixia, right?" Zhang Tie asked in surprise.
"I don't know!" Bai Suxian shook his head, "The Holy Order is just a guess. Everyone even doesn't know whether the Holy Order exists or whether it is a male or a female. Whether it is Chinese or foreign, the top management of Jinpeng Bank Those people in the committee almost never appear in public. The only few appearances they make are directly in audience with Emperor Xuanyuan, and the process of the audience is not very clear to outsiders!"
"Is there such a bank?"
"I heard that Jinpeng Bank first appeared not in Taixia and the Eastern Continent, but in the Western Continent. Its real headquarters is also in the Western Continent!" Master Pengshan also told what little information he knew.
Zhang Tie digested this information. Then he asked, "Who is behind Pangu Bank and Oriental Bank?"
"Behind Pangu Bank are the other six major sects of Taixia except Jinquan Dao. Emperor Xuanyuan created a Jinquan Dao to be on an equal footing with the six major sects, and the six major sects also created a Pangu Bank and Xuanyuan Bank There is also Jinpeng Bank competing against each other. In the territory and sphere of influence of the six major sects, Pangu Bank has a great influence, while Oriental Bank was jointly established by more than a hundred top wealthy families among the nine great states of Taixia, relying on With the foundation of Taixia's nine major divine states and the support of more than a hundred wealthy families, Oriental Bank does not have the power of the Holy Order behind it, but it is still enough to be on an equal footing with other major banks, and it has the support of the Taixia royal family and several major sects. During the period, Oriental Bank’s position has always remained neutral, and this bank has not even joined the Golden Power Road!”
"In this way, these four banks almost represent the four largest strengths within Taixia. Xuanyuan Bank represents the Taixia royal family and the court, Pangu Bank represents the six major sects, Oriental Bank represents the Taixia wealthy families, and Jinpeng Bank It may represent a powerful and mysterious power group in other continents and Taixia. The forces behind several major banks all have a tacit understanding with each other... "
"Exactly that!"
Zhang Tie touched his chin, "If Taixia is compared to a gorgeous big room, in this room, Xuanyuan Bank stands on one side and Pangu Bank stands on the other side. They don't look at each other, but they don't fight. He got up, fearing that he would damage the furniture, antiques, etc. in the house. Dongfang Bank stood in the middle, acting as a buffer and a peacemaker. The wealthy families of Taixia were doing business with both sides, and the children of the wealthy families of Taixia were serving as officials in the court. At the same time, he was studying skills in the six major sects, so he was ready to make good friends. Jinpeng Bank went around the house and outside. Sometimes he came to sit in the house, make soy sauce and drink tea, but sometimes he went out because Xuanyuan The bank is the nominal boss in this room, so after Jinpeng Bank came to this room, it also gave some face to the people behind Xuanyuan Bank and joined Jinquan Dao. Perhaps this is a compromise and exchange. Jinpeng Bank has more than one person. He has the foundation, he has a place here, and he can control the wind and rain outside the door... "
Both Bai Suxian and Master Pengshan laughed. Master Pengshan nodded, "Your metaphor is quite vivid. The current situation in Taixia is indeed the same. Several forces are balancing each other. As you look at this place, what is coming here?" Don’t most of the foreign knights work at the counter of Jinpeng Bank?”
Zhang Tie turned around and looked around. It was indeed like this. Most of the people in front of the counters of Xuanyuan Bank, Oriental Bank and Pangu Bank were Chinese knights, while most of the people crowded in front of Jinpeng Bank were A foreign knight.
Wait, who are those two people
Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly widened.
Just when Zhang Tie was looking at Jinpeng Bank, two people had just walked out of a passage next to the counter of Jinpeng Bank. One of the two people was fat and the other was thin. The fat one looked exactly like a big bear. , chattering and looking around while walking, while the thin one has an expressionless face...
The temperature in Xuanyuan Hill is not too cold now, but the two people are wearing very conspicuous and somewhat inappropriate bearskin coats.
Those are the old wild bear Dali from the Ice and Snow Wasteland and Elder Gulas of the Giant Bear Tribe... ()
