Chapter 135 Jubaozhai
As usual, Su Yao handed him the medicine she had personally prepared.
"Drink it!"
"Take it away quickly, what kind of rubbish is this? I'm not drinking it!" Han Yi leaned against the window watching the flow of people, and couldn't help but complain when he saw the medicine bowl on the table.
"Drink it quickly, the doctor said this medicine is very effective in replenishing deficiencies and strengthening the kidneys and boosting virility!" Su Yao had already handed the medicine to him.
"I am the chosen one of heaven, a dragon among men with great fortune, how can you make me drink medicine prescribed by mortals?" Han Yi said irritably, but she pressed his neck and forced him to drink it.
He was forced to swallow the medicine by Su Yao, looking very unwilling. After finally managing to swallow it, he cursed at her.
"You shrew, are you trying to murder me?"
Su Yao rolled her eyes at him, "You call yourself the Chosen One, yet you can't even take a little medicine. This medicine is for your own good; it can help you recover from your initial setback."
Han Yi snorted, "My cultivation is sealed, not that I'm still recovering from an injury. Do you even understand? Besides, can those mortal medicines cure an immortal body?"
Even so, he knew that Su Yao cared about him, but she just didn't want to admit it.
After a long argument, both men fell silent. Finally, Han Yi spoke.
"I've been in Qingmu City for a few days now, it's time to go and take a look at Jubaozhai."
He gazed intently out the window at a certain spot.
Han Yi and Su Yao sat facing each other in the carriage, which was driven by an experienced coachman. The carriage moved smoothly and quickly toward Jubaozhai, with Tuoba Xun'er, Lu Xuefeng and Po Yue following behind.
Jubaozhai is located on Qinghua Street in the city center, just one street away from the alchemy hall of Yuding Xuanzong.
Han Yi glanced at the carriage and shook his head slightly.
The car body is made of ebony wood and is engraved with exquisite cloud patterns and auspicious animal designs. The interior is covered with thick carpets, spacious and comfortable, with soft cushions on the seats and large wheels that turn smoothly.
Soon we arrived at our destination and saw a magnificent building standing in the middle of the street in the distance.
The vermilion gate was tightly closed, its surface studded with pure gold rivets that gleamed in the sunlight.
This gate is not usually opened; it is only opened when important figures visit or on special occasions. There are side gates on both sides for people to enter and exit.
When Han Yi and his companions tried to enter Jubaozhai through a side door, they were stopped by the guards.
The guard was dressed in black, with a cold expression, a long sword at his waist, and sharp eyes.
The gate is a dazzling gold color, adorned with exquisite patterns, exuding magnificence and nobility, and radiating brilliance.
"Those who enter through this door are either rich or noble. Please enter through that door."
The guard's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
His gaze swept over Han Yi and the others one by one, with a scrutinizing tone.
Han Yi frowned slightly, and the four people beside him also showed their dissatisfaction. On the way here, the accompanying coachman had already told them the rules of Jubaoge.
Through the grooms, they learned about the intricacies of the Treasure Pavilion. The side doors were divided into three types based on the material of the door frame: bronze, gold, and jade. Ordinary people could enter through the bronze door, while only the wealthy and noble could enter through the gold door. As for the jade door, only officials or prominent figures could enter.
Being newcomers, they didn't want to be too conspicuous, so they chose Kinmen, a place that was neither particularly high nor low. However, they were stopped by the guards.
"Open your eyes and take a good look. Is there a problem with us entering through this Golden Gate?" Po Yue had already approached the guard and questioned him.
If this reckless guard continues to speak rudely, he will take action.
The guard remained unmoved by the words and kept his face stern.
"Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken. If you want to enter, you must go through the appropriate door." His gaze fell on the bronze door not far away, as if reminding Han Yi and the others to face reality.
Han Yi reached out and placed his hand on Po Yue's shoulder, signaling him not to do anything rash.
My gaze shifted to the other two side doors. The bronze doors were plain and unadorned, and ordinary people passed through them; the jade doors were tightly closed, as if to proclaim their unattainable nobility.
The four stood in front of the side door of Jubaozhai, attracting curious glances from the surrounding crowd, who seemed to be waiting to see what would happen to these rule-breakers.
Just when everyone thought they were about to see a joke, they saw Han Yi decisively lead the four of them toward the bronze gate.
Seeing this, the onlookers sighed in dismay; they had originally wanted to watch the spectacle.
Stepping inside, one is immediately struck by an atmosphere of extravagance and luxury. The spacious hall comes into view, with exquisite carpets covering the floor.
Countless bright pearls hung from the ceiling, illuminating the hall as bright as day.
Tall shelves stood all around, filled with all kinds of treasures.
Gems radiating an unusual brilliance are dazzling; ancient bronze artifacts engraved with mysterious runes exude an aura of antiquity; precious medicinal herbs are placed in jade boxes, emitting a pleasant fragrance.
In a corner of the hall, a magical artifact caught Han Yi's attention.
It was abandoned on the corner, unseen by anyone.
This folding fan has a unique shape. The fan ribs are made of an unknown purple metal and are engraved with fine and exquisite patterns. The fan surface is made of transparent gauze and is painted with mysterious patterns, such as mountains and rivers or stars and the universe, which are ever-changing.
When Han Yi's gaze fell upon the folding fan, a strange fluctuation seemed to emanate from it, causing a peculiar feeling to well up in his heart.
Upon closer inspection, the space around the folding fan appears slightly distorted, suggesting it possesses a power capable of influencing space itself.
The folding fan exuded an ancient and powerful aura, having undergone the sedimentation of countless years. Han Yi couldn't help but become curious about its origins.
He stood before the folding fan, gazing at it for a long time, as if it were the most dazzling pearl in an endless treasure trove.
Besides mountains and rivers, the fan also features many strange creatures, rendered with vigorous and graceful brushstrokes, displaying extraordinary charm.
At this moment, no one in the hall seemed to notice the folding fan, let alone feel the mysterious aura it exuded.
This folding fan is extraordinary; the surrounding天地源力 (heaven and earth energy) seems to be flowing slowly around it.
Han Yi casually beckoned to one of the waiters, who immediately came over with a big smile on his face.
"I'd like to ask about the price of this folding fan," Han Yi said casually, pointing to the fan in a calm tone.
A shrewd glint flashed in the waiter's eyes as he smiled and said, "Sir, this folding fan is worth two thousand ingots of gold."
Han Yi was shocked, but his face remained calm, though his eyes betrayed his astonishment.
He thought to himself, "This folding fan can be obtained for only two thousand ingots of gold, which is a pleasant surprise. Two thousand ingots of gold is equivalent to two low-grade spirit stones. If I can get my hands on it, I will make a considerable profit."
The waiter noticed Han Yi's expression and instantly caught a glimpse of surprise. He was secretly pleased, realizing that the customer was concerned about the price and needed to quickly reassure him.
The waiter quickly put on a smiling face and spoke.
"Sir, do you have any doubts? If you think the price is too high, we can discuss it further." The waiter thought to himself, this folding fan has been sitting in a corner of the hall for many years, and no one has ever paid any attention to it. Today, he must find a way to get this sucker in front of him to buy it.
