Chapter 528: low class people
~~
Feng Yao did not expect ye Chen's Astral Soul Fusion degree to be zero. Moreover, he had agreed to light a fire for a one-star apothecary. A look of disgust flashed across her face. She had really misjudged him. She had thought that ye chen was just pretending to be low-key. After all, she had seen ye chen spend money at Yi Yan's Tavern with her own eyes. She did not expect ye chen to be not pretending.
"Thanks to your help, I was able to find something to do. I'll treat miss fengyao to a meal later, okay?" Ye chen looked at Feng Yao beside him. How could he not notice the change in Feng Yao's attitude? however, he still had to say some polite words.
Treat? to Sir one word's Tavern? Can you afford it with your income? It can't be that you're just casually eating by the roadside, right? I'm not interested! Feng Yao cursed in her heart and shook her head. "I'm not feeling well today, so I'll be leaving first!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at Feng Yao's back, ye Chen's lips curved into a faint smile. It was good that Feng Yao had rejected him. Ye chen did not want to have too much contact with a woman like Feng Yao.
Ye chen returned to his rented courtyard alone.
Although this courtyard was located in a slightly remote area, it was very quiet and suitable for cultivation. One of ye Chen's clones sat quietly in the room to cultivate while the other clone studied secret techniques in the courtyard.
In the small courtyard, a few large stones were casually placed. There were some deep dents on the stones. These dents were very smooth and should not have been caused by force. Instead, they looked like they had been sat there for years. It could be seen that someone had been cultivating very hard here.
Ye chen picked up a large rock and sat on it to study the secret technique. After some time, the door to the courtyard creaked open from the outside and a young man and woman walked in.
the man was about 27 or 28 years old. although he was not very handsome, he was quite masculine. his face was firm and his eyes were bright. he wore a short plain robe. the robe had been washed and worn out, but it was still clean and neat.
The woman was about 20 years old. She was petite and wore an apricot-colored dress. She looked cute and delicate. Her appearance was not stunning, but she had a gentle and quiet temperament.
they were probably the couple who lived in the small courtyard.
The man and woman were both humans. When they saw ye chen, a look of surprise flashed across their faces. Then, they understood that ye chen must be a new resident in this courtyard.
"I'm gu LAN." The man cupped his hands at ye chen and then turned to the woman beside him. this is my wife, Lin Qiu. We live here. May I know how to address you, brother?"
"I'm ye chen." Ye chen smiled and returned Gu Lan's salute. He also nodded slightly to Lin ran beside him and said, " it seems like we're neighbors from now on.
Gu LAN was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he had already cultivated to the fifth level of the divine sea. If he were in the eastern continent, he would be considered a Supreme existence. However, he was not remarkable on the Tian Yuan continent, and his life was even a little difficult. As for Gu Lan's wife, Lin Yu, although she looked gentle and quiet, her cultivation level was actually slightly higher than Gu Lan's.
From Feng Yao's words, ye chen had gained some understanding of Gu LAN and Lin ran's situation. Lin ran had actually resisted the temptation and chose to stay by Gu Lan's side. This made ye chen feel some admiration for her.
Gu LAN could sense that ye chen was also a spirit sea expert. Although ye Chen's cultivation base was slightly weaker than his, with his spirit sea cultivation base, he could easily find a job and rent a house in Yanyun sacred city. Gu LAN wondered why ye chen was living here.
He had offended a noble in Yanyun sacred city, but ye chen did not know the reason.
"It's getting late. Brother ye chen, let's have a simple meal together." Gu LAN said enthusiastically.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Ye chen could tell that Gu Lan's invitation was sincere. It was boring to eat alone, so he readily agreed.
"Wanhui, go and make a few dishes. I want to drink a few glasses with brother ye chen today." Gu LAN smiled and turned to Lin Wan.
"Yes." Lin Qiu smiled gently and glanced at ye chen politely before walking back to her house.
Gu LAN stood in the courtyard and chatted with ye chen for a while. He moved a small table and three small stools into the courtyard and set them up. He also helped Lin ran place the dishes on the table. The scene was very heartwarming.
After a short while, a table full of dishes was ready. Gu LAN invited ye chen to take a seat while he and his wife, Lin Qiu, sat opposite ye chen.
"I hope brother ye chen doesn't mind my plain and simple life." Lin Qiu smiled as she spoke. Her voice was soft and sweet as she filled ye chen and Gu Lan's bowls with rice.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I think it's very good." Ye chen said sincerely. The dishes on the table were fragrant. Although most of them were vegetarian, they were made of exotic flowers and rare herbs. There was also a plate of fish meat from a rare fish.
If these things were placed in the eastern continent, they would be considered incredible spirit herbs. However, here, they were just a simple dish.
Gu LAN and Lin Wan saw ye Chen's sincerity and smiled happily. They called for more food.
I have a few jars of wine here. Share them with big brother Gu LAN. Sister-in-law, you should also have a drink. Ye chen took out a jar of wine from the armguard space that he had brought from the netherworld Palace. He opened the lid and a rich aroma of wine instantly filled the entire courtyard.
Gu LAN was stunned for a moment when he smelled the wine. He said in surprise, " "The pure jade Orchid wine?"
"What is the pure jade Orchid wine?" Ye chen asked. Could it be that these wines had some other origin?
"Brother ye chen, don't you know what this wine is?" Gu LAN looked at ye chen in confusion.
"I obtained this wine by chance. I really don't know what it's called." Ye chen said with a smile.
Gu LAN gave ye chen a meaningful look and said,"Brother ye chen, this jar of wine is worth more than ten thousand Shadow Gold coins. This wine won't have any effect if you drink it like this. You have to put in the Yulan fruit first to stimulate the wine's properties. After drinking it, it will be very beneficial to your cultivation."
"Can you find the Yulan fruit?" Ye chen asked. He did not expect the wine he had accidentally obtained to be worth more than ten thousand Phantom Gold per jar.
Gu LAN looked at ye chen in surprise. Ye chen did not even know about the Jade Orchid fruit?
Seeing Gu Lan's expression, ye chen smiled and said,"Big brother Gu LAN, please don't be surprised. I came from the Dongchuan continent, so I know nothing about the Tian Yuan continent."
"From the Dongchuan continent?" Gu LAN immediately remembered that a few people from the Dongchuan continent had come to Yanyun sacred city in the past few days. Some of them had been recruited by the major combat divisions. It was said that two people had stayed behind. He blurted out, " ye chen? You're the one whose Astral Soul Fusion rate is 0?"
"Not bad." Ye chen nodded.
"I'm sorry, I spoke too fast." Gu LAN quickly apologized. Ye Chen's Astral Soul Fusion rate was zero. This was probably a scar in his heart that he did not want to be mentioned.
"I'm fine." Ye chen laughed out loud. it seems like my reputation has spread far and wide. Naturally, he would not take the fact that his Astral Soul Fusion rate was 0 to heart.
"Brother ye chen is an open-minded person. I'm like brother ye chen, I've never believed in this bird's Astral Soul Fusion." Seeing that ye chen did not mind, Gu LAN laughed heartily. the Yulan fruit is very cheap. Almost every household has some. I'll ask wanhui to get a few for brother ye chen.
"Ask sister-in-law to bring back a few Yulan fruits. Big brother and I will try the taste of this fragrant Yulan wine." Ye chen said readily. It was only ten thousand Twilight Gold ancient coins. To a ten million level, it was nothing. If he drank it, he could still earn more.
"Brother ye chen, you can't do that. This is a fine wine worth more than ten thousand Twilight Gold ancient coins. Wouldn't it be a waste for your brother to drink it?" Gu LAN was a little overwhelmed by the favor and declined.
haha, big brother Gu LAN, you don't have to be so polite. Today, I hit it off with big brother Gu LAN. Let's get drunk! Ye chen said with a smile.
Gu LAN had refused a few times but under ye Chen's insistence, he could only nod. "Then I'll take advantage of brother ye Chen's glory today. In the future, if you need anything, just let me know. As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse."
"Alright," he said.
After a while, Lin Yun took out a few Yulan fruits from the room and put them into the wine jar. Suddenly, an even stronger wine fragrance hit his face, several times stronger than before.
"Come, big brother Gu LAN, I'll toast you!" Ye chen poured a glass for Gu LAN first, then poured a glass for himself. He picked up the wine glass and said.
"F * ck!"
The two of them raised their heads and drank the wine in their cups. Then, they laughed out loud together.
The meal was a joyous one for both the host and the guests. Ye chen and Gu LAN each drank a few large glasses while Lin Qi also had a small drink. After drinking about a third of the jar of wine, Gu LAN and Lin ran stopped drinking and asked ye chen to put the wine away.
As the night darkened and the moon rose slowly, the bright moonlight shone on the small courtyard. The three of them sat on the small stools and chatted. Gu LAN and Lin Yao were rather nice people and got along very well with ye chen.
"Brother ye chen, what are your plans for the future?" Gu LAN asked casually as he looked up at the moon.
"I'm preparing to go to the apothecary Pavilion to do something." Ye chen said bluntly.
"Brother ye chen, you know alchemy?" Gu LAN was a little surprised. Alchemy was a profession that was second only to blacksmiths on the Tian Yuan continent. It was a very prestigious profession.
"I'm just going there to start a fire." Ye chen did not know if he would be able to learn the alchemy techniques of the Tian Yuan continent, so he decided to leave it at that.
"Being able to enter the apothecary Pavilion is a pretty good way out." Gu LAN did not think too much about it. After a moment of hesitation, he said, " if brother ye chen is not satisfied with the job at the apothecary Pavilion, I can introduce you to my big brother. He works in the territory of a noble and is more or less a manager. He can introduce you to a job, but the salary may be low.
"Many thanks, big brother Gu LAN." Ye chen naturally would not go to the territory of a noble to work but he did not say much and just smiled.
Just as the three of them were chatting, Feng Yao walked in from outside and glanced at ye Chen's group. She did not expect ye chen to be familiar with Gu LAN and Lin ran so quickly. A mocking smile flashed across the corners of her mouth. As expected, the lower class would always hang out with the lower class.
