Chapter 545: merchant Qian Lai
~~
"Big brother Gu LAN, it's only been a few days and you've already helped me earn so much money. These few sets of purple Demon Armor are nothing. You must be careful." Ye chen said with a smile.
Gu LAN pondered for a moment. He had no idea what the nobles of Yanyun sacred city would do. His life was at stake, especially his family's. He had to be careful. After thinking about it, he said with a determined expression, " "Even if you lend us these four sets of purple Demon Armor, I'll return them to you after the storm is over!"
Seeing that he would not accept it, ye chen did not force him and nodded. "After all, we've touched too many of the nobles" interests. If they secretly send people to assassinate us, we have to be careful. Normal mysterious God level cultivators are considered nobles in Yanyun sacred city. They won't personally attack, and will probably only send spirit sea realm cultivators. With the human tier purple Demon Armor, you can save your life."
"You don't have to worry about that, brother ye chen. The Dao court is very observant and their law-enforcement is very strict. Such a thing rarely happens on the entire Tian Yuan continent. So even if Fang Yu hated me to the core back then, he would not dare to send people to kill me. As long as we do not enter the small Tian Yuan world, we will be fine." Gu LAN said with a smile.
Ye chen nodded slightly. Even so, wearing the purple Demon Armor was always better than nothing.
Xuan an sent someone to bring you a message. He wants you to meet him at Yanyun sacred city. There's a noble who's willing to sell the raw materials for the origin divine pill, but you'll have to disguise yourself. Gu LAN said.
With the raw materials for the divine origin pill, ye chen could try to refine the divine origin pill. Ye chen had already learned all the things a 1-star apothecary needed to know, so he was quite confident in refining the divine origin pill. Whether it was the armguard space or the heaven rumbling cauldron, he could refine the divine origin pill.
"I'll arrange for you to go out." Gu LAN said and gave an order to a member of the organization outside the courtyard. After a while, hundreds of civilians rushed into the courtyard and then dispersed in a loud noise.
Ye chen smiled. He did not expect Gu LAN to come up with such a plan. After using the daylight thief technique to change his appearance, he mixed in with the civilians and headed to Yanyun sacred city.
Gu Lan's idea was quite effective. All the spies outside the courtyard were caught blind. How difficult would it be to find ye chen, who had changed his appearance, among hundreds of civilians?
All the nobles in Yanyun sacred city had been fooled by Gu LAN and the others. Ye chen did not know what kind of expressions Yi Yan and the others had at this moment. If he could see it, ye chen would like to see it.

In Yanyun sacred city, a group of nobles were having a gathering in a Tavern.
There were more than two hundred nobles in the entire Yanyun sacred city, and all of them were spirit Xuan and above. There were only a few people at the Dao Xuan realm, and most of them were here discussing the matters of the small Tian Yuan world. The small Tian Yuan world had such great benefits, so how could these nobles give it up so easily?
"What are you guys doing? you can't even keep an eye on a single person!" The person who had always appeared gentle and refined also revealed an angry expression at this moment.
"Master Yi Yan, a few hundred of them rushed out at once. We can't even recognize which one is ye chen and Gu LAN." Yu Feng and the others bowed, their hearts trembling with fear.
"A bunch of trash, useless rice buckets!" Yi Yan smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground with a " bang " as he cursed angrily.
"Lord Yi Yan, it's not that they're useless. It's just that ye chen, Gu LAN, and the others are too cunning," Feng Yao spoke on behalf of Yu Feng and the others. She had recently hooked up with a noble through Yu Feng, so she naturally had to speak up for Yu Feng.
With a crisp " PA " sound, Yi Yan slapped Feng Yao hard, causing her to fall to the ground. He snorted in disdain, " "Who Do You Think You Are, how dare you speak here! I told you to keep an eye on those two, but you haven't gotten any useful information so far!"
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Feng Yao's mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitifully at the aristocrat she had hooked up with, but the other party coldly turned his head to the side.
The Noble's lips curled into a cold smile. What a joke, offending Yi Yan for a toy? He wasn't that stupid!
The light in Feng Yao's eyes dimmed. She finally understood that in the eyes of these aristocrats, she was nothing! She bit her lips and looked at Yi Yan and the others with resentment in her eyes, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Yi Yan and the others didn't even look at Feng Yao. Such a lowly woman wasn't worth their attention at all. They continued to discuss this matter.
we can't do anything if they don't enter the small Tian Yuan world. We can only temporarily cut off the supply of all sorts of items. However, we can't control the soul beast meat they kill in the small Tian Yuan world. Xu Qing pondered for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, " it seems that we can only set a trap and let them fall into it themselves!
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Yi Yan knocked on the table and nodded slightly. This method was somewhat feasible.

Ye chen changed his appearance and walked through the streets of Yanyun sacred city. He passed by a long and narrow alley. At the end of the alley, there was a medicine shop. The front of the shop looked a little shabby. The shop assistant was a young man in his thirties. He was wearing a long robe and was busy arranging the medicinal herbs.
"What do you need?" The shop assistant asked very politely.
"I want to see your master."
The shop assistant sized up ye chen and said in a deep voice,"Our master is not here."
Ye chen knew that this was the secret code that Xuan an and the noble had agreed on.
"Not here? I just saw him." Ye chen said.
"Come with me." The shop assistant led ye chen into the inner room and passed through a long and narrow corridor. He opened the door of a room and let ye chen in.
As soon as ye chen entered the room, he felt that everything was clear. The room was very spacious. It was a living room, decorated with gold and Jade. It was like a Palace. It was hard to imagine that there was a whole new world inside such a dilapidated medicinal shop.
After the waiter brought ye chen in, he left and closed the door.
In the main seat of the living room sat a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man. He was sitting with his legs crossed and sizing ye chen up with interest.
Ye chen sized up the man in front of him without any reservations. This middle-aged man had probably changed his appearance. His appearance was very ordinary, the kind that could not be found in a crowd. However, his eyes revealed a shrewd and wise look, giving people the feeling of a profiteer.
"You must be the person Xuan an introduced." The middle-aged man said with a smile and did not invite ye chen to take a seat.
"Not bad." Ye chen nodded. His posture was calm as he walked over and sat on a chair in the living room.
"I'll give you the money." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with interest as he chuckled.
"A name is just a code name. I won't announce it." Ye chen said with a smile.
From Xuan an's words, he knew that this 'Qian Lai' was probably a fake name. Xuan an didn't know which noble in the city Qian Lai was, but he knew that Qian Lai's identity was extremely mysterious and that he had a huge business in Yanyun sacred city. He basically did all kinds of business, doing whatever he could to earn money.
Qian Lai had a lot of power in Yanyun sacred city. He had a lot of money, and he could buy things that couldn't be bought anywhere else.
how many portions of first-grade origin divine pill ingredients do you want? " Qian Lai didn't care about the name and went straight to the point. He said calmly, " I'm not interested in buying too little.
"I'd like 50 servings for now. I might buy more in the future."
"Fifty is better than nothing," Qian Lai's expression was unreadable. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. He sighed softly and leaned back in his chair. He narrowed his eyes and said, " however, I have a request. You must be buying so many materials to find someone to refine pills. If you want to sell the first-grade origin divine pills you refine, you must go through me. Otherwise, you won't be able to buy the materials from me next time.
"What about the price?" Ye chen furrowed his brows slightly.
"The price will definitely not be low. According to the market price, it's six million Shadow Gold for one." Qian Lai laughed and took another sip of wine with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Six million Shadow Gold for one? I don't understand what you can earn from this price." Ye chen was a little surprised. He had thought that the price would be suppressed but he did not expect it to be based on the market price. He could not help but ask curiously.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. The divine origin pills are strictly controlled by the Dao court, and there are only a limited number of them. On the black market, the price of divine origin pills has long since exceeded six million Shadow Gold." Qian Lai took out a piece of Twilight Gold from somewhere and played with it skillfully between his fingers. The corners of his mouth curled up into an unfathomable smile.
Looking at Qian Lai's expression, ye chen suddenly had an idea. If Qian Lai had obtained the divine origin pills, he might not be selling them. Logically speaking, a force with money could easily find one or two one-star apothecaries. The only explanation was that Qian Lai needed a huge amount of origin divine pills!
"In that case, deal." Ye chen said. No matter what the purpose of the money was for buying his primordial divine pills, as long as the price was reasonable, ye chen had no reason not to sell them.
After the deal was made, Qian Lai took a sip of the wine in his glass and suddenly said with a smile,"If I'm not mistaken, you're ye chen, Gu Fei, Gu LAN, and the others who've been stirring up a lot of trouble in Yanyun sacred city recently, right?"
A cold glint flashed across ye Chen's eyes. The other party had some skills indeed. He had actually guessed his identity so quickly.
you still think that the huge profits from loans are not enough, and you're eyeing the profits from alchemy. It seems that your goal is not small. Qian Lai played with the gold in his hand and laughed. but I like ambitious people and I like to work with ambitious people!
Ye chen felt that he could not see through Qian Lai anymore. He wondered if Qian Lai was a friend or foe and if there was a trap. If the other party was an enemy, he would have pretended to be in the dark and not say it out loud.
I've heard that Your Excellency Qian Lai is very rich and can earn almost anything. With your wisdom, how could you not know that it's very profitable to borrow money from civilians? why didn't you do it? " Ye chen smiled noncommittally and changed the topic.
"It's true that borrowing money is very profitable. It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I won't do it. Because doing so would be equivalent to offending all the nobles in Yanyun sacred city. It would be very easy for you to lose your foothold in Yanyun sacred city, and even the nobles of other cities would see you as an enemy."
"So there's something that even Sir Qian Lai doesn't dare to do."
"Of course, I'm different from you. I don't lack that money. There are thousands of ways to make money, and it's easy to attract attention if I make too many enemies. Wouldn't it be better to make a fortune quietly?" The smile on Qian Lai's face did not change. The piece of Twilight Gold in his hand was thrown into the air with a " ding " sound before it fell back into his hand steadily.
