Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Looking at the other person's back, Ren Jiuyou smiled with interest and said, "I didn't expect that the young master of the Yan family is still alive. Level 5 missions are not common." Ren Jiuyou laughed and said, "Girl, you are obsessed with money all day long, and you still have the nerve to criticize Duan Yijian." Xiao Ye smiled embarrassedly when he heard this. He just asked in confusion: "President, why is it that someone as powerful as Duan Yijian is willing to stay in the Great Zhou Kingd...
"Well, our Assassin's Guild will help you send out this mission," Ren Jiuyou took the silver certificate on the table.
"I hope you can complete this task as quickly as possible," the man in black robe stood up and prepared to leave.
"Don't worry, the reputation and efficiency of the Assassin's Guild are absolutely trustworthy," Ren Jiuyou said with a smile. No one can resist money. You pay and I kill people, and everyone gets what they need.
"Then I'll leave it to you," the man in black robe nodded and left the room.
Looking at the other person's back, Ren Jiuyou smiled with interest and said, "I didn't expect that the young master of the Yan family is still alive. Now Ye Chen is in big trouble."
Although the other party was masked, Ren Jiuyou still recognized his identity, but he did not point it out to him in person.
"Xiao Ye," Ren Jiuyou called out to the cheongsam girl who had been guarding outside the door.
"President, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Ye walked in, but was not as respectful as before.
"Go contact Duan Yijian and let him do this task!" Ren Jiuyou said to Xiao Ye.
Ordinary tasks were posted in the lobby on the first floor for any assassin who saw them to claim the task, but this kind of level five task would be personally assigned to assassins by the Assassin's Guild.
When Xiao Ye heard Duan Yijian's name, she frowned slightly and said, "President, this Duan Yijian is a money-grubber. If we let him do this mission, we won't get much benefit. Level 5 missions are not common."
Ren Jiuyou laughed and said, "Girl, you are obsessed with money all day long, and you still have the nerve to criticize Duan Yijian."
Xiao Ye smiled embarrassedly when he heard this.
She is the descendant of an old acquaintance of Ren Jiuyou. Xiaoye's father lost his life while performing a mission, leaving behind an orphan Xiaoye. Ren Jiuyou couldn't bear to see his old friend alone and helpless, so he took Xiaoye to his side.
Over the years, he has always treated Xiao Ye as his own daughter, so when there were no outsiders around, there was no formality between them.
He had no intention of letting Xiao Ye work at the front desk, but the little girl was obsessed with revenge for her father and insisted on finding a job that could make money so as to save up enough money to hire a killer to kill her enemy. Ren Jiuyou had no choice but to arrange a front desk receptionist job for her.
Fortunately, this girl is very smart and does an excellent job.
Ren Jiuyou sighed helplessly, "The martial arts of the Great Zhou Kingdom have declined. Apart from foreign forces like us, the strongest person is only a martial marquis. The level 5 mission has not appeared for three years. Without the mission, those martial marshal-level assassins will naturally not stay here. So, apart from Duan Yijian, I really can't find anyone else suitable now."
"Can't you do it yourself? Staying in the house all day, making those bowls of tea, you will get moldy sooner or later," Xiao Ye said with a sneer.
Ren Jiuyou smiled nonchalantly: "It's better to be moldy than to accompany the King of Hell!"
The death of Xiaoye's father not only affected Xiaoye, but also had a huge impact on Ren Jiuyou's life trajectory.
Since then, the once famous killer Ren Jiuyou retired from the world and took the initiative to request to be transferred to the remote place of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xiao Ye also knew why Ren Jiuyou didn't take action, so he didn't say anything more. He just asked in confusion: "President, why is it that someone as powerful as Duan Yijian is willing to stay in the Great Zhou Kingdom for so many years?"
Duan Yijian has a nickname in the killer circle, called One Sword to Steal the Soul. Since his debut, he has never failed in any mission he took on. Even in the entire Thirteen Countries in the Northern Territory, Duan Yijian is always ranked very high as a Level 5 killer.
But it is hard to understand why such a person chose to stay in the Great Zhou Kingdom, which is at the bottom of the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Territory.
Ren Jiuyou sighed and said, "Duan Yijian has been tied down by a woman. His sword is no longer as ruthless as before. It's a pity for such a genius in swordsmanship."
…
"Sir, this is an invitation letter from Shangguan He of Lingyun Trading Company, inviting you to attend the auction held by Lingyun Trading Company," Diao Chan walked into Xiao Chen's room holding an invitation letter.
Xiao Chen took it and looked at it, then teased: "Is it possible that Shangguan He got beaten up and is feeling unhappy, so he wants to trick me into their base camp and beat me up?"
Diao Chan rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master, you think he is too sinister. As far as I know, this auction was scheduled a month ago. It's just that you are very popular these days, so you were invited."
"Just kidding!" Xiao Chen chuckled, then said seriously: "However, I really have to go to this Lingyun Commercial Bank to take a look. There may be something I need from them."
Xiao Chen must obtain the Mist Condensing Grass needed to refine the Mist Condensing Pill. Only by improving his mental strength can he maximize the power of the Sharingan.
If you want to find this precious medicinal herb, Lingyun Trading Company is undoubtedly the best choice.
"But sir, Lingyun Commercial Bank's auction is said to be the largest in ten years. With your current wealth, if you go to participate in their auction, I'm afraid-"
Diao Chan paused deliberately at this point, and even looked at Xiao Chen with some sympathy. Her meaning was very clear: Although you may not take pictures of anything, it would be too humiliating to go there with empty pockets.
Xiao Chen was indeed short of money. The Ji family and the Lin family had almost emptied their treasury, and only then did one of them take out 50,000 spirit crystals to honor Xiao Chen.
But 50,000 spirit crystals, although considered wealthy in a place like Luo City, definitely not super-rich. If one wants to participate in an auction of this scale, he is still a little short of the mark.
However, how could Xiao Chen be looked down upon by Diao Chan? Although she was just teasing him, Xiao Chen felt deeply hurt.
Short of money? It's easy! Summon Sun Simiao, a walking cash cow. Just a little bit of money between his fingernails will be enough for him to live a good life.
Soon, he called Sun Simiao over, but unfortunately, Sun Simiao disappointed him this time.
“Sir, I really don’t have many elixirs on me. Back in Lianyun City, conditions were limited and most of the herbs I bought could only be used to refine first-grade elixirs, which were of little use. So after refining them, I left them all to General Zhang Liao for the Lianyun City soldiers to take, so—” Sun Simiao said somewhat embarrassedly.
Puff! Diao Chan covered her mouth and laughed.
Xiao Chen was also very embarrassed. Without the elixir, what could he exchange for money? Could it be that a penny could really stump a hero?
Sun Simiao suggested, "If you really need money urgently, I can refine some now. It won't take much time to make elixirs below the fifth grade, but you will have to worry more about the herbs."
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Yes, if there is no elixir, it can be refined directly on the spot!
As for medicinal materials, this thing is not as expensive as elixirs. It is not impossible to exchange a first-grade elixir for half a cart of first-grade medicinal materials. With the 100,000 spirit crystals on him, he can surely buy a lot. Otherwise, how can we say that the elixir industry is a highly profitable industry?
Alchemists have a noble status, but their martial arts skills are mediocre. Therefore, in order to prevent being persecuted by warriors, alchemists on the continent have formed a huge organization - the Alchemist Guild.
After the establishment of the Alchemist Guild, any alchemist's qualification certification and level upgrade assessment must be carried out in the Alchemist Guild.
Moreover, the Alchemist Guild's complete range of elixirs and medicinal materials has always been considered second only to the three major trading companies.
Originally, Xiao Chen could go to Lingyun Trading Company to buy medicinal herbs. The herbs there were more complete and cheaper than those in the Alchemist Guild. The guild's medicinal herbs were generally supplied to alchemists first.
However, Sun Simiao was summoned to this world by him. Although his alchemist rank was high, he did not have a rank certification medal issued by the Alchemist Guild.
So they came to the Alchemist Guild, on the one hand to buy medicinal materials, and on the other hand to certify Sun Simiao's alchemist level.
Putting on the newly drawn Thousand Silk Mask and disguising himself as Ye Chen again, he brought Sun Simiao into the Alchemist Guild. A faint aroma of medicine wafted towards them, making people feel refreshed.
There were not many people in the hall. Apart from a few guests, there were only a few people quietly doing their own things.
As if they heard footsteps, some people raised their heads, glanced at the old and young group, and then went back to doing their own things.
Xiao Chen and Sun Simiao came to a window sill, behind which sat a young man in apprentice clothes.
Seeing Xiao Chen and Sun Simiao approaching, he immediately stood up and said stiffly: "Hello, my name is Ye Ming, and I am honored to serve you."
Xiao Chen nodded and directly reported the herbs that Sun Simiao had told him in advance: "I want Dragon Source Fruit, Hundred-Year-Old Purple Bamboo, Four-Leaf Red Grass, Ten-Year-Old Wellside Moss..."
A series of medicinal herbs were named, but Ye Ming looked confused.
He has been an apprentice alchemist here for more than two years and knows quite a few spiritual medicines, but he has never heard of the names of these herbs.
He was stunned for a while before he said, "I'm sorry, my dear guests. I have never heard of the herbs you mentioned. Please wait a moment. I will help you find a master."
"Okay," Xiao Chen nodded. These herbs were all third-grade or even fourth-grade herbs. It was normal for him, an apprentice alchemist, to have never heard of them.
There are more than tens of millions of medicinal herbs on the continent, and it is impossible to learn them all in a short period of time. Therefore, alchemists of each level generally only need to know medicinal herbs of the same grade as their own alchemist level.
And this alchemist apprentice couldn't even recognize all the first-grade medicinal herbs, let alone these third-grade and even fourth-grade herbs.
After a while, Ye Ming and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked over.
"Are you two the ones here to cause trouble?" The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Chen and Sun Simiao with a look of disdain on his face.
Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "What do you mean by a troublemaker?"
"Damn it, you're randomly reporting some medicinal herbs that don't even exist. If that's not intentional trouble, what is that?" the middle-aged man snorted, with an arrogant expression on his face that said, "I've seen through you."
Xiao Chen found it a little funny and asked, "How do you know that I reported these herbs randomly?"
"Nonsense, I'm a first-class alchemist who knows thousands of spiritual medicines. But I've never heard of any of the herbs you mentioned. If you're not making trouble, what are you? Get out of here!" The middle-aged man waved his hands as if he was chasing away flies.
His name is Guo Yousong. He is indeed a first-class alchemist. He is also a manager of the Alchemist Guild of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He is used to being bossy in his daily life.
There were other guests in the hall of the Alchemist Guild, and after hearing what he said, they all showed awe.
Alchemist is a rare and noble profession. Even a first-grade alchemist is extremely popular and respected, and is sought after by various forces.
Take Guo Yousong for example. As a member of the Guo family, one of the four great families, he has extremely poor talent in martial arts and is only a two-star soldier. He should have been abandoned by his family.
But because he is an alchemist and also a manager of the Alchemist Guild, he has a very high status in the family.
As a first-class alchemist and a descendant of the Guo family, one of the four great families, Guo Yousong naturally has enough reason to be proud.
"Master Guo Dan is a first-class alchemist. He said so. These two people must be here to cause trouble."
"They actually came to the Alchemist Guild to cause trouble. Where on earth did these two idiots come from?"
"You're really reckless. No one dares to cause trouble here."
The guests and staff of the Alchemist Guild all spoke up for Guo Yousong. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with a first-class alchemist.
Sun Simiao is a seventh-grade alchemist. Although he is usually very kind in front of Xiao Chen, that is only towards Xiao Chen. As a seventh-grade alchemist, he naturally has his own pride.
How could he bear to see a first-class alchemist who was not even worthy of carrying his shoes scolding his lord in person?
He immediately said angrily, "You are just a first-grade alchemist, but you arbitrarily think that others are here to cause trouble without any detailed investigation? Who gave you the authority? Go, call the highest-ranking person here."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk about meeting these adults?" Guo Yousong seemed very displeased.
You're actually looking for a good-grade alchemist. Why? Do you look down on me, a first-grade alchemist?
Whether it was the staff or the guests who came to do business in the hall, everyone looked gloating when they saw this scene.
The Alchemist Guild is a behemoth. Even the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom has to be polite to it, let alone this old man and this young man.
If you dare to scold Master Guo, you will be in trouble.
"Get out of here!" As expected, Guo Yasong shook his hands with an impatient expression.
"Don't regret it?" Xiao Chen stopped Sun Simiao who was about to get angry, and said slowly.
"Haha, what can you do to me?"
Guo Yousong couldn't help but laugh. This young man actually dared to threaten him.
The other people in the hall also looked at him with a look of embarrassment. Was this young man some spoiled young master? How dare he challenge the alchemists of the Alchemist Guild?
Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Sun Simiao. This was the Alchemist Guild. He didn't want to solve the problem with force, so he decided to let Sun Simiao solve it!
Sun Simiao understood, looked at Guo Yousong and said, "Since you don't want to go find your high-level alchemists, I will ask them to come out myself!"
"What? Did I hear you right? You said you wanted to ask a few masters to come down?" Guo Yousong asked jokingly.
"What? Are my words funny?" Sun Simiao asked in a deep voice!
"Hahaha! Old man, if you can call a few masters down today, I will eat this chair," Guo Yousong pointed at the chair beside him and laughed wildly.
Others in the hall started laughing too.
"Remember what you said," Sun Simiao ignored everyone and suddenly shouted to the second floor, "Too much purple cloud gold sand! The furnace is going to explode!"
Now as a Wu Hou master, he is full of energy, like a lion's roar.
"Why, is this how you get the Master to come down?"
Bang!
Before Guo Yousong finished his words, a loud bang was heard on the second floor of the Alchemist Guild. All alchemists could immediately conclude that it was a furnace explosion, something that every alchemist would encounter.
Boom boom boom boom, a series of footsteps sounded, from upstairs all the way down.
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard appeared from the stairs. He rushed to Sun Simiao and asked excitedly: "How do you know that there is too much purple cloud gold sand?"
