Chapter 326 Wood knots
...
"No, I just think Ou Da, you are not old." Tong Liang didn't communicate much with Ou Chuyang. Until this time, Tong Liang finally confirmed his guess, and the awe-inspiring voice trembled slightly.
Of course, Ou Chuyang heard Tong Liang’s implication. After receiving the herbs in his hand into the ethereal ring, Ou Chuyang looked at Tong Liang calmly and said, “I found that you have always called me Ou Da. This title is not good. I am only eleven years old. If you call me that, is it true that I am very old?”
"Uh" Hearing this, Tong Liang's head was immediately short-circuited, and all his thoughts seemed to disappear suddenly. Tong Liang stood there stupidly, and the only thing that echoed in his mind was the three words "eleven years old".
At the age of eleven, far higher than his level 4 innate warrior, he is also an alchemist who is envied by everyone on the mainland. How did he practice? No matter how Tong Liang thought about it, he could not think of it.
He looked at Ou Chuyang with a dull look, and Tong Liang didn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing Tong Liang look like this, Ou Chuyang felt helpless. It seemed that his cultivation talent was really as they thought, and had reached a point of change. Otherwise, why would everyone make such a shocked expression after hearing his level?
He patted Tong Liang's shoulder with his palm, and Ou Chuyang turned the topic to another place and said, "Come on me in the future, you are a little older than me, and I don't like the title Ou Da either."
Upon hearing this, Tong Liang shook his head and said, "That's not possible. Otherwise, I'll call you boss, just like my subordinates call me."
After thinking a little, Ou Chuyang felt a little dizzy. It seemed that it was really difficult to be a leader-level figure. On the one hand, he had to have the momentum as a leader and could completely shock his subordinates. On the other hand, he also needed to grasp the tone of speaking and the measure of being a human being. He could not make people feel scared, nor could he lose the majesty of the leader. The balance point was really difficult to grasp.
"You can do whatever you want, but don't talk so rudely in the future. Since they are all brothers, there is nothing that cannot be said. I don't like my own people and are so reserved." Ou Chuyang sighed and said. He knew that people like Tong Liang usually have a strong head, and things that they recognize will not change easily. This is a personality that cannot be changed at all. So he could only remind him with a smile.
Understanding the meaning of Ou Chuyang's words, Tong Liang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He had already given his life to the other party and agreed to follow Ou Chuyang's leader, but Ou Chuyang treated him extremely peacefully and had no attitude of being the boss at all, which made Tong Liang grateful. Then, Tong Liang gradually became casual and no longer as restrained as he had been in the past two days.
Tong Liang said, "Oh, boss, I wonder what level of alchemist you are?"
Ou Chuyang thought for a while and replied vaguely: "I don't know much, so I guess it's level 2."
"What a change." Tong Liang's pupils contracted, and he secretly whispered in his heart, and then asked in confusion: "Come on? Has the boss not refined a second-level pill?"
"Yes, that's it." When Tong Liang asked, Ou Chuyang took out the "Crystal Pill" he had once refined very carefully and handed it to Tong Liang.
"Crystal Pill?" Seeing Ou Chuyang grab the pill with a faint orange light, Tong Liang was shocked. Tong Liang knew this crystal pill very well, because when he was promoted from an acquired warrior to a congenital warrior, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, and worked hard to get one. Fortunately, with this "Crystal Pill", he successfully advanced without any trouble. From this point of view, the actual effect of this "Crystal Pill" is really extremely huge.
Staring at the crystal elixir in Ou Chuyang's hand, Tong Liang's eyes narrowed into a slit. At this moment, no matter he had any doubts about Ou Chuyang, they disappeared invisible at this moment. Tong Liang, who had become a warrior for a long time, knew that among the many second-level pills, it was very difficult to refine the "Crystal Pill". Just by plan, this pill can be called the best among the second-level pills. Since Ou Chuyang was able to refine the "Crystal Pill", it means that he did not have any adulterated ingredients. This newly recognized boss is definitely a second-level pill refiner.
The surging mood rolled for a long time before calming down. Tong Liang's eyes when he looked at Ou Chuyang gradually evolved from awe to worship.
"Boss, you are so amazing. You have such strength at the age of eleven, and you are an alchemist that everyone praises on the mainland. Compared to you, I have lived in vain for more than 20 years." Tong Liang, who has a straightforward personality, has never admired someone like this, but at this moment, he subconsciously flattered Ou Chuyang.
"Haha, don't look down on yourself so much. Everyone has their own advantages, but you haven't shown it yet." Ou Chuyang replied with a happy smile.
"But boss, you are a second-level alchemist, why are you so interested in those first-level herbs that are not very useful? As far as I know, these herbs can't make any good elixirs at all." Tong Liang asked.
Ou Chuyang gave Tong Liang a blank look, and said with a strange look: "You don't understand this. No matter how low-level herbs are, they have their uses, but we haven't discovered it yet. Now try to collect these herbs. Maybe it will be used one day. Besides, even if it is useless, it can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins, which are the capital to build power in the future. In this world, no matter where you are, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, so from now on, even a cent is very important."
After hearing Ou Chuyang's words, Tong Liang suddenly realized that he had not thought of this at all. Ou Chuyang was right. It would be even more difficult to establish his own power without wealth as a basis. Ou Chuyang has started to prepare these things from now on, which further shows that Ou Chuyang is meticulous and has detailed plans for doing things. In addition, he is extremely talented, and it seems that it is a good choice for him to follow this boss.
While meditating, Tong Liang's eyes became slightly hot. At this moment, a bright future seemed to emerge in his mind.
Looking at Tong Liang's constantly changing expression, Ou Chuyang was speechless and thought to himself: It seems that he has to find some time to wake up this lump of wood.
Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang said slowly: "I know that everyone on the brave continent is more martial. In order to practice, many people have embarked on the path of hard practice. They do not communicate with others and do not go through the world. Although this can improve day by day, I don't think the effect is too obvious. On the contrary, if you have your own power and wealth, you will get more support on the path of martial arts, including elixirs, martial arts, secrets, etc., and all of this can be exchanged for wealth. So you cannot just insist on hard practice. Some resources that should be used should still be used. Do you understand?"
After carefully experiencing Ou Chuyang's words, Tong Liang finally realized and bowed deeply to Ou Chuyang. Tong Liang said respectfully: "Boss, Tong Liang has been taught today."
"Okay, just understand, let's go. I don't have much time, so I'll go back to Qipan Town first." Ou Chuyang waved his hand and said calmly.
After walking for another half a day, Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang finally walked out of the Sun Gu Forest. Looking back at the dense forest, Ou Chuyang felt a little reluctant. During the period of time in the Sun Gu Forest, he deeply felt the feeling of first love. Although he was only eleven years old in this life, he integrated his experiences with two lives, but Ou Chuyang had a different feeling than that of ordinary boys, especially the graceful and gentle figure had been deeply engraved in Ou Chuyang's heart.
Recalling that period of not long time, Ou Chuyang felt anxious. He had quietly enjoyed the "two world" he had never experienced, and had also felt confused and lost by the sudden departure of the person he loved. The short ups and downs made Ou Chuyang have the illusion that he seemed to be a different life, but it was precisely because of the real figure that Ou Chuyang, who was already firm in his mind, worked harder, not for anything else, but for the love in his heart, which was enough to make him fight for this unfamiliar continent for a lifetime.
Standing quietly outside the Sunburst Forest, Ou Chuyang looked at it for a long time. It was not until Tong Liang bought two horses from somewhere to urge him to get on the road that Ou Chuyang woke up from his drifting thoughts, staring at the familiar direction again. Ou Chuyang turned over and ran away in the direction of Qipan Town.
The afterglow of the sunset is faintly shrouded in the ancient style of the chessboard pond. The countless red rays shine with the ancient city, forming a beautiful sunset picture.
It was dusk, and the residents of Qipan Town were still noisy. The residents of the city did not feel the fatigue during the day at all. On the street, all kinds of people were surging like a tide, as if this was the time they should enjoy.
Outside the Qipan Town, two strong fast horses were running at high speed, and dust was raised wherever they passed. On the horses, two figures sat steadily, not swaying left and right because of the fast horse's running. The only thing that kept was that the two figures were shaking their arms vigorously, and the shouts of "Ji~Ji~" were heard from their mouths from time to time.
"Neal~" After a neighing, two fast horses suddenly stopped outside the Qipan Town Gate. At this time, the figure on the horse gradually showed its appearance.
The quick horse was urging to reach Qipan Town and quickly arrived outside the Qipan Town. Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang, who had arrived smoothly at dusk, looked at the tall and spacious city gate in front of him, and Ou Chuyang's heart suddenly became a little annoyed. Thinking of the time he had been in Qipan Town, Fang Tang took care of him in every detail, but because of his youth and recklessness, it directly led to the destruction of the "Gray Magpie" branch. Thinking of the broken bricks and tiles of the "Gray Magpie" branch that night, Ou Chuyang felt a little sad.
Tong Liang, who didn't know the inside story, saw Ou Chuyang standing outside the city gate in a daze and did not go up to disturb him. Although he looked more straightforward, Tong Liang, who had experienced a lot, certainly knew that Ou Chuyang seemed to be recalling certain things at this time, and as a subordinate of others, he would never interrupt his boss's thoughts at this time.
The past scenes flashed quickly in my mind. Ou Chuyang had just returned to reality from loneliness. He looked back at Tong Liang who was unknown. Ou Chuyang said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
After saying that, Ou Chuyang took the lead in urging his horse to enter the city.
All countries on the mainland have their own laws and regulations. Generally, when the sunset is ten, the gates of major important cities will be closed to prevent the sudden invasion of foreign enemies. Qipan Town is no exception. Just after the sunset drips the last red light, the tall Qipan Town gate slowly closes, and Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang are also lucky to hurriedly enter the city at this last moment.
As the moon hangs high and the stars rise, countless paper lanterns lit up almost at the streets and alleys of Qipan Town. The lights, either strong or dark, shine, shine the entire Qipan Town as brightly as daylight.
Ou Chuyang and Tong Liang walked side by side on the street under the moonlit night. Looking at the bustling crowds around him, Ou Chuyang suddenly became dazzled. This was the first time he had experienced the prosperity of nightlife in large cities after he was reborn. The hawking sounds of small vendors kept floating in his ears. Ou Chuyang had never felt that life was so comfortable. Gradually, Ou Chuyang seemed to have forgotten his purpose of returning to Qipan Town. Until, when Tong Liang's voice came beside him, Ou Chuyang woke up from his comfort.
"Boss, here."
He turned his head and looked at Tong Liang standing beside him. At this time, Tong Liang's eyes were looking at a three-story building beside him: Gaosheng Inn, four bright big words immediately caught Ou Chuyang's eyes.
At this time, Tong Liang continued, "Boss, let's stay here tonight. I'm more familiar with this place and I used to come here often."
"Haha, it seems that your life is not that poor. It seems that it is not cheap here." Ou Chuyang said with a smile.
Tong Liang smiled and said, "Although I said I am poor, it is still very easy for us practitioners to stay in an inn. Besides, I will not be like other people. I will not enjoy everything here except living here."
"Oh? Is it just a accommodation fee?" Ou Chuyang said.
"The boss hasn't been here yet, just go in and take a look." Tong Liang smiled mysteriously when he heard Ou Chuyang ask.
Nodding gently, Ou Chuyang moved to the entrance of the inn. After handing the horses over to the groom at the entrance of the inn, he walked into Gaosheng Inn.
When you enter the inn, the grand scene in the hall stunned Ou Chuyang. He looked around. The entire Gaosheng Inn had more than a dozen high halls. The clean and smooth staircase handrails were made of natural marble on both sides. The bright lights were hung high on the ceiling of the hall, making the entire hall brightly illuminated. Dozens of tables were placed in the hall. Although night had already arrived, the entire hall was still full. In the center of the hall, on a wooden platform about seven meters long, four young girls sang softly. The sound was like a light spring flowing in a mountain stream, clear and pleasant. As the song ended, it was exchanged for the thunderous applause of many literati and poets in the audience.
