Chapter 227: Finally arrived at the Imperial City

On the way to the imperial city, a carriage was speeding.

In the carriage, an extremely ugly-looking middle-aged woman with a pockmarked face stretched her neck and looked into the distance, wishing she could reach the imperial city soon.

"Don't worry, it will take a few more hours for us to reach the imperial city."

Opposite the pockmarked woman, a man wearing an alchemist's attire couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw her like this.

In the past six months, apart from practicing, this guy just sat there and looked into the distance every day, muttering "Master" to himself, and asking himself about Qin Guan from time to time.

This is not only the maid's longing for her master, but also the newlywed daughter-in-law who talks about her groom who has left home every day.

It seems that she has a deep love for Qin Guan!

With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Alchemist Shao Shuai smiled and said:

"Your young master Qin Guan is now the deputy domain lord of the Chaos Domain. He is worth more than ten thousand people. He should be practicing hard in the Chaos Domain. How could he participate in the Alchemist Competition in the Zongheng Empire? You are very special this time. If you come to the Imperial City with me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"

In Shao Shuai's view, even though the final reward of this Alchemist Competition is extremely attractive, Qin Guan was wanted by the ten major sects and almost lost his life. He finally escaped to the Chaos Realm and did not have enough power to protect himself. I will definitely not return to the Zongheng Empire.

After all, the risk he takes to come back with his current strength is too great!

"Thank you, Master Shao, for your kindness."

The pockmarked woman turned around and smiled at Shao Shuai, but did not open her mouth to argue.

Although what Master Shao Shuai said was very reasonable, Yun'er had a vague feeling that the young master would definitely appear in the imperial city to participate in this alchemist competition.

Although this premonition came without any reason, Yun'er had great confidence in it for some reason.

After glancing at Yun'er who then looked in the direction of the imperial city outside the carriage, Shao Shuai shook his head helplessly.

This girl is usually very well-behaved and sensible, but sometimes she is too stubborn. Once she decides on something, even ten cows can't get her back.

The imperial city of the Zongheng Empire is located in the center of the Zongheng Empire, backed by two huge spiritual mountains. The stretching mountains are like two giant dragons lying on the ground.

A long and magnificent river flows in front of the imperial city, like a majestic water dragon.

One city surrounded by three dragons!

This kind of layout is the best in Feng Shui. The establishment of an imperial city here can ensure the prosperity of the empire and its fame for thousands of years.

"Finally arrived at the Imperial City!"

Qin Guan and Xue Qianyao looked at the tall and majestic imperial city not far ahead, both showing relief and joy.

The walls of the Imperial City are not as tall and thick as the Chaos Domain, but they are filled with a sense of gravity and majesty.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days!"

Xue Qianyao smiled and thanked Qin Guan. Without Qin Guan, she would never have reached the imperial city.

"We're all friends, you're welcome!" Qin Guan smiled and waved his hand, "Do you need me to accompany you to Xue's house to be a witness to your ambush?"

"I won't bother you anymore. I can handle this matter by myself. And you must be eager to see Yun'er. How can I have the nerve to waste your precious time!"

Xue Qianyao joked.

"Okay. Let's say goodbye then. I'll visit you again when I have time!"

Qin Dian nodded.

"This card is given to you as my repayment to you. You should use it! Be sure to keep it. I only have the right to give out one card every year, and I haven't given one out for many years!"

Xue Qianyao turned her slender hand, and a small golden card appeared in her palm, and handed it to Qin Guan.

"This is?"

After receiving the golden card, Qin Guan looked confused.

"This is the supreme card of our Xue family. As long as you hold this card, you can go to any store in our Xue family and buy the spiritual herbs, elixirs, weapons, etc. you want at a 20% discount, and there will be no charge for auctioning items. Commission, you can enjoy the services provided by our Xue family for free!”

Xue Qianyao explained with a smile.

"Oh, this is a good thing, so I would be disrespectful to reject it!"

Qin Guan's eyes lit up. The Xue family was the most powerful family in the Zongheng Empire besides the royal family, and its industries were spread all over the country. He would inevitably have to purchase training resources in the future. With this card, he could save a lot of money.

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived in front of the huge city gate. On both sides of the city gate, two rows of soldiers wearing bright armor, holding long spears, and swords at their waists stood neatly. Their eyes swept over the people passing by, and they were not angry. Power.

There was a long queue in front of the city gate, and every warrior who wanted to enter the imperial city had to go through strict inspection before being allowed to enter.

As a member of the Xue family, Xue Qianyao naturally did not need to line up. She just flashed a transparent jade pendant around her waist, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately made way for a passage.

With Xue Qian Yao leading the way, Qin Guan did not need to reveal his identity as an alchemist. He happily followed Xue Qian Yao and walked into the imperial city under the envious eyes of the warriors lining up.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, bustling shops came into view, and the shouts of merchants reached Qin Guan's ears. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Qin Guan secretly sighed. This flow of people seemed to be much more than that of the Chaos Realm!

Saying goodbye to Xue Qianyao, Qin Guan took Wang Wu and Qianli Xue while walking in search of an inn.

What left Qin Guan speechless was that all the inns he found were full.

Later, a kind-hearted waiter told Qin Guan that the Imperial City would hold an alchemist competition in more than three months. Such an important competition attracted a large number of forces and warriors. The entire Imperial City was already overcrowded, and many inns were already full. Qin Guan wanted to find a place to stay, either in an extremely remote inn, or in the most expensive inn in the center of the imperial city, where he might be able to find a place to stay.

Qin Guan decided to try his luck in the center of the imperial city. If it didn't work, he would have to find a place to live in a remote corner.

There is an extremely luxurious inn in the center of the imperial city. It is resplendent and resplendent. Many warriors passing by look inside with envy. Those who can enter and exit here are either rich or noble, and ordinary warriors do not dare to step inside.

"Sir, are there any rooms available?"

Qin Guan walked into the inn and asked.

"It's just the right time for our distinguished guests to come. Two guest rooms have just been vacated. They are the best rooms we have here. They are expensive. One room costs ten thousand taels of silver a day. Do you think you need to move in?"

Qin Guan secretly said that he wanted ten thousand taels of silver a day. This was a naked robbery! Fortunately, he was not short of money now and nodded:

"I want both rooms. This is four months' rent."

Qin Guan lives in one room by himself, and the other room is for Wang Wu. The alchemist competition will not be held for more than three months, so booking four months at once can save trouble.

"Okay. Here is the key to the room. Please take it, distinguished guest. There are dedicated service personnel for the room you have reserved. If you need anything, just ask."

Seeing that Qin Guan was so generous, the boss counted the room charges and handed the key to Qin Guan with a smile.

At this moment——

"Boss, do you still have any vacancies here?"

A young man wearing an alchemist's attire came in and asked.

"Sorry, the last two rooms have just been booked by this distinguished guest."

The boss said apologetically.

His eyes fell on Qin Guan, and the young man said:

"My friend, could you do me a favor and give me a room?"

Although the young man was begging, his tone of voice was full of arrogance and an air that could not be refused.
