The owner of Wanfuhao is Wanfeng, and Wannan is his youngest son.
Among Wanfeng's many children, Wannan is the most outstanding and capable. Not only is he good at business, he is also a true disciple of the Shuizi Sect.
There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Six Paths and Eight Sects, but most of them are outer disciples. Inner disciples are already the direct descendants of the sect. As for the true disciples, they are the foundation of the sect's inheritance.
The identity of a true disciple alone is enough to make Wan Nan stand out among many brothers and sisters.
The old boss, Wanfeng, was old and lacked energy, so most of the things were handed over to Wannan to handle.
Manager Wan had great respect for the young master Wan Nan. When something like this happened and a master like Gao Xuan showed up, of course he had to ask Wan Nan for instructions.
After Shopkeeper Wan finished speaking, Wan Nan was silent for a while before saying, "How many times have I told you that we should not take any crooked approach to such a big business like ours."
It is impossible to know that the people like Wan Zhanggui always like to play tricks in private. In fact, for a big merchant like Wanfuhao, the most important thing is reputation.
Reputation is a golden signboard, a huge intangible wealth. How much can you earn by colluding with bandits to rob other caravans? But what is damaged is the reputation of Wanfu.
The key is that the shopkeepers who lead the caravans like to do this privately because they can make a lot of quick money from it.
These shop owners are familiar with the road conditions, the markets along the way, and have extensive connections in every place.
Although Wan Nan didn't like his boss to do this, it was his nature to pursue profit. Even if he replaced a boss, the same thing would happen if someone else took over.
Shopkeeper Wan bowed his head deeply, knowing that Wan Nan could fire him with just one word. After being fired by Wanfuhao, other big merchants would not dare to employ him.
"The Ye family is from a small place in the southwestern border area. I really didn't expect..." Shopkeeper Wan made a weak defense.
"Do you know who Feihu is? He is a top disciple of the inner sect of Shanzi Sect, and he almost became a true disciple. Anyone who can kill Feihu must be at least a peak Xiantian martial artist."
Wan Nan said coldly: "Just because you want to get rich and offend others, I have to make an enemy with such a master. Is there something wrong with you or me?"
Manager Wan was sweating on his forehead. He lowered his head and dared not say a word.
"If it happens again, I will deal with you personally without anyone else. If you do something bad again, think about whether you have the ability to do it. Think about your family and whether you can bear the consequences."
Wan Nan said, "I am trying to smooth things over this time to restore the reputation of our Wanfu. Go and invite that person over. I will set up a table at Jinsheng Tower to treat him to a meal."
Shopkeeper Wan hurriedly bowed deeply in response and dared not say anything else.
When Gao Xuan received the invitation, he was a little surprised. The young master of Wanfuhao actually invited him to dinner, and he had no ill intentions.
Gao Xuan's spiritual power was restricted, but the six-winged cicada was not. He could now detect even the slightest malicious intent.
After all, this world is too dangerous. Any martial saint can crush him.
Even a martial arts master would not be easy to deal with.
Gao Xuan had been tempering his body with thunder beads every day along the way. Although he failed to break through his current realm, he understood the secrets of the martial arts master.
The innate martial artist has strong skin, flesh, tendons, bones and internal organs, and is consistent inside and out. The grandmaster realm is the one that can train the marrow and blood internally, and can penetrate the martial arts to be harmonious and unobstructed externally.
If you reach the stage of marrow training and blood exchange, you can really control the vitality of your body. Even if your limbs are broken or your organs are shattered, as long as you are not dead, you can recover.
The so-called constant renewal means continuous renewal day by day.
When you reach the level of a martial arts master, your body will constantly be renewed and improved, and will be in better condition every day.
When your blood becomes like silver mercury, you have reached the level of Martial Saint.
The division of these two realms is not a secret, and it is recorded in some classics. Ye Jinxiu also introduced the two realms to Gao Xuan.
However, Ye Jinxiu only knew some of the principles, not even the facts.
This is also why Gao Xuan is able to control his body in minute detail, far surpassing other innate martial artists in this aspect. With a treasure like the Thunder Pearl, he can penetrate deep into the bone marrow to stimulate vitality, and can control the power of thunder and lightning without losing the root.
This sense of proportion is something that others cannot do.
Gao Xuan's cultivation these days is at the most critical stage. He has a feeling that he is only a step away from a breakthrough.
Although Wan Nan's invitation was not malicious, Gao Xuan didn't want to go. But he suddenly felt something in his heart and agreed without thinking.
After sending away the slippery and vicious guy Manager Wan, Gao Xuan took out the thunder bead hidden in his arms.
The lightning bead has divine light inside, and no abnormality can be seen on the surface. This is also the self-concealment of the divine object. It needs the power of qi and blood to stimulate the power of thunder inside.
Gao Xuan played with the thunder bead for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed it.
In the past, the lightning beads were stimulated from the outside to the inside, but there was still a layer of separation. When the lightning beads entered the body, they could travel through the intestines and stomach, clearing the impurities and filth from the internal organs.
When people eat grains, they will always have lesions, bacteria and insects in their bodies. As these problems continue to accumulate, people will get sick.
Although the innate martial artist's bones, muscles and internal organs are as strong as steel, he still has various problems with his body.
Gao Xuan understood this principle after practicing for more than ten days. To become a martial arts master, one must allow the body to reach an extremely pure state, full of vitality and free of filth.
Only in this way can the bone marrow be refined and the innate power be stimulated. According to his understanding, this step is actually cell mutation and genetic evolution.
Therefore, humans must reach a relatively pure state and remove all external interference, such as bacteria and unhealthy body tissues, which will destroy genetic evolution.
The Taoists in this world say that there are three corpses and nine insects in the human body, which constantly destroy the foundation of a person. This is also the principle.
A lightning bead slowly moved down Gao Xuan's esophagus. Under the stimulation of his qi and blood, the lightning bead turned into a ball of blue-white lightning, penetrating his skin, flesh and bones, illuminating Gao Xuan's inside and out.
The crackling sound of lightning continued to sink, and wherever the lightning passed, all kinds of tiny bacteria, insects, and mutated body tissues were destroyed.
When the lightning reached Gao Xuan's stomach, Gao Xuan's entire body had become translucent. He looked at himself in the mirror, his bones and organs were clearly visible. He could even feel the blood flowing.
The crackling and flashing lightning spread and flowed through the internal organs.
The human liver is a detoxification organ, and is most likely to breed bacteria and worms and cause mutations. The stomach, which has to break down various foods every day, is more likely to have problems. The lungs, which breathe day and night and constantly exchange air with the outside world, are also prone to disease.
The lightning flashed and shone across the sky, burning the diseased tissue and killing all kinds of bacteria and poisonous insects.
When the lightning rolls into the intestines, there will be even more parasites here...
After his internal organs were cleansed by the thunder bead, Gao Xuan felt that his whole body was extremely transparent inside and out, and all 128 acupuncture points were suddenly connected.
Before, the acupoints were open, but the circulation of Qi and blood was always a little stagnant. Now, the acupoints all over the body are smooth and flowing, and Qi and blood are moved freely. The internal organs are completely renewed.
Gao Xuan knew that the time was right. Just as he thought of this, his bones began to make crackling sounds.
Two hundred and six bones, from head to heel, from heel to head, the sound kept ringing over and over again.
After a long while, Gao Xuan's spirit suddenly shook, as if some invisible obstacle was broken, and he entered a whole new realm.
The person is still the same person, but the physical condition has completely changed.
It was like a patient who had been paralyzed in bed for decades suddenly becoming a world sprint champion. The vitality, energy, and strength that permeated his body made Gao Xuan feel like a completely different person.
Since Gao Xuan started practicing, he has not yet clearly felt the changes at different levels.
This was also because he was reborn, and even if he cultivated to the golden realm again, there were not many surprises.
In this world, the physical level improvement is so direct. This qualitative change makes Gao Xuan feel the power and beauty of life. This is also a feeling he has never had before.
There is no doubt that he entered the marrow training level and became a martial arts master.
At this point, his strength, speed, and physical fitness have all increased by more than ten times. To be exact, it is seventeen times. This all-round improvement is very amazing.
Gao Xuan's powerful mental strength was also unlocked a little, which gave him a deeper control over his body.
The lightning bead he swallowed was also melted by the qi and blood power that enabled him to become a martial artist, and turned into a pure yang lightning that was stored in his heart.
Gao Xuan didn't know how it turned out like this, everything happened naturally.
After reaching the Grandmaster level, the effect of the Lightning Bead on the body refining becomes negligible. It is not a loss if it turns into lightning.
Gao Xuan studied it and found that he could control the lightning through his blood and qi. Compared with Feihu's way of controlling the lightning bead, his method was undoubtedly more flexible and varied.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Shopkeeper Wan came outside to greet and ask for instructions. Gao Xuan glanced at the sky, and it was almost dark.
Gao Xuan took the water-dividing knife and called Ye Jinxiu, and the two of them got on the carriage prepared by Manager Wan.
The two tall horses looked majestic and the carriage was spacious and comfortable, like a small living room.
The two horses ran very fast, but the carriage was very stable.
Ye Jinxiu was amazed. You can't see such a luxurious carriage in Tongcheng. Mingjing is indeed the capital. Any business owner is so luxurious.
That's how it was. By the time the carriage arrived at Jinsheng Tower, it was already dark.
When Gao Xuan got off the carriage, he saw the brightly lit Jinsheng Tower. It was extremely eye-catching, even a little dazzling, in the dark night.
There were a few neat and tidy waiters standing at the door, who bowed and greeted us from a distance, with a humble and friendly attitude.
When we went up to the box on the third floor, the young master Wan Nan was already waiting at the door.
Wan Nan's eyes lit up when he saw Gao Xuan. Although he had heard about it from Shopkeeper Wan, he was still very surprised to see Gao Xuan in person.
He has a tall and strong figure, regular facial features, a pair of bright eyes, deep pupils, and clear whites like water. Just by looking at his eyes, you can see that he is a master of martial arts.
Wan Nan had seen many martial arts masters, so that was fine. The most important thing was that Gao Xuan was very dignified, and there was a natural and unrestrained air between his eyebrows. Such a demeanor was really impressive.
Wan Nan originally wanted to make friends, and when he saw Gao Xuan's demeanor, he admired him even more.
People are like this. Some people have known each other for a lifetime and are just nodding acquaintances. Some people feel particularly compatible when they meet for the first time.
"As expected, a hero with extraordinary bearing."
Wan Nan smiled and bowed: "Mr. Gao, I am Wan Nan, the young master of Wanfu."
Gao Xuan politely returned the greeting and introduced Ye Jinxiu.
Wan Nan sent Manager Wan away, and he led Gao Xuan and Ye Jinxiu into the room.
"Today I also invited a friend, he is Tieyuan from the Sanji Gate..."
The three of them entered the box, and a tall middle-aged man sitting inside also stood up.
This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall, and has a dark blue complexion. He must be practicing some special secret method of body refining.
Tieyuan was slightly stunned when he saw Gao Xuan. The strength of his Qi and blood was far beyond his expectations. Especially his bearing, which was like that of a master.
Gao Xuan is only in his early twenties. How can he have such a high level of cultivation?!
After being shocked, Tieyuan also gained some respect. This is how the world is.
"Mr. Gao has an extraordinary demeanor. We hit it off right away."
Tieyuan held Gao Xuan's hand affectionately, looking like he valued him.
As for Ye Jinxiu, she was completely ignored.
Ye Jinxiu was not angry, she was just a little surprised, Zhongyue Qiang Tieyuan, this person is the famous disciple of Shanzi Sect. It is said that he is too arrogant and has a proud personality.
I didn't expect that this Cheolwon was so friendly and approachable...
