I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1187 The Shop With a Problem

This was a huge real estate agency. People came and went, and it was quite lively. Many people were asking questions. Soon, a middle-aged man quickly came forward and said attentively, “Young Master, are you looking to buy or rent?”

“I’m planning to rent,” Chu Yunfan said. He didn’t know how long he would be staying in Conglong City so it wouldn’t be appropriate to buy one.

“Since it’s a rental lot, can I take the liberty to ask what it will be used for? Self-housing or a commercial building?” The middle-aged man led Chu Yunfan to the side and hurriedly poured some water for him.

“I want to rent a shop lot. I plan on selling medicinal pills,” Chu Yunfan said, “It’s best if the shop comes with its own alchemy room.”

“What a coincidence!” The middle-aged man hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, “Just a while ago, someone came to rent out his place. He’s also a down-and-out alchemist. It was originally a business passed down from his ancestors, but when it came to his generation, he didn’t have much ability and declined. Now that the place is to be rented out. If you want, I can bring you to take a look.”

“All right, let’s go take a look,” Chu Yunfan said.

“Please follow me. May I know your name, Young Master?” The middle-aged man carefully glanced at Chu Yunfan. His profession made him very observant. Although Chu Yunfan’s clothes were only slightly better than the average person’s and were not very luxurious, his every word and action had a sense of nobility. Such people were all high and mighty figures. After making decisions for a long time, they would naturally have a kind of imposing aura mixed in.

Looking at Chu Yunfan’s age, he naturally thought that Chu Yunfan must be a descendant of a big force or a big figure and thus restrained some of his thoughts. He was a property agent so he naturally knew who would scam him and who wouldn’t.

Chu Yunfan, who didn’t show any signs of anger, was the kind of big shot that couldn’t be provoked.

“My surname is Chu,” Chu Yunfan said.

“So, it’s Young Master Chu. You can just call me Old Jin!” the middle-aged man said.

As he spoke, he led Chu Yunfan to the pill street. All kinds of medicinal pill shops were opened on this street. It was bustling with activity. One by one, they looked like people who were not to be trifled with. Fiendish people shuttled among them.

Each of them carried an extremely strong martial aura, making it easy to distinguish at a glance. These were all martial artists and not ordinary martial artists. Each and every one of them was a figure who lived by the knife.

Each of these people had rolled over from a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. They all carried a very strong smell of blood. Ordinary people couldn’t see it with their naked eyes but they could instinctively sense these people.

“Looks like the business on this street is pretty good.” Chu Yunfan said.

“It is. Young Master Chu, look. This street sells all kinds of pills. Mercenaries and monster hunters like to come here,” Old Jin explained.

Chu Yunfan nodded. These two types of people needed pills the most. In the wild where monsters were born, pills were often another life. Unless that person was like Chu Yunfan and had absolute strength, they would have to rely on pills to save their lives.

Soon, Chu Yunfan followed Old Jin to a shop at the corner of the street. Compared to the other lively shops around, this shop was located in the middle of the street. The location was excellent, but strangely, there were not many people. It gave off a neglected feeling, and even the door was crooked as if it could fall down at any time.

Chu Yunfan felt that it was a little strange. According to the geographical location of this place, business shouldn’t be so bad.

” Wang Zhao!” Old Jin knocked on the door and shouted. “Open up. Someone’s here to rent the place.”

After a while, a figure opened the door. Chu Yunfan saw that it was a middle-aged man in his thirties but he looked rather down and out. His clothes had not been washed for a long time and his beard was unshaven. He looked extremely dispirited.

“It’s you, Old Jin,” the middle-aged man said in surprise, “What did you just say? Someone’s here to rent?”

“Yup, you’re in luck today. Someone is willing to rent your place.” Old Jin quickly winked at Wang Zhao.

“What did you say? Everyone nearby knows that I’m unlucky. There’s someone who actually wants to rent my place?” Wang Zhao immediately said.

Hearing Wang Zhao’s words, Old Jin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Beside him, Chu Yunfan watched their exchange with a faint smile. Obviously, this shop’s location was very good, but at the same time, there must be a big problem.

However, this Old Jin had concealed all of this before. Who knew that this Wang Zhao would be a big mouth and say it out loud?

Old Jin saw Chu Yunfan’s half-smile and naturally understood that he had been seen through. He could only say, “Young Master Chu, it’s not that I want to hide it from you, but you’ve seen the location of this shop. It’s indeed first-class. Moreover, Wang Zhao is an alchemist himself. There’s an alchemy room in the backyard. It’s the most suitable place according to your request.”

“But you didn’t tell me that there’s another reason why such a good place is being rented out, right?” Chu Yunfan immediately said, “Although I don’t mind some trouble, you dare to play tricks in front of me. Do you not fear death?”

Chu Yunfan’s expression turned cold. Old Jin suddenly felt a terrifying pressure pressing down on him like Mount Tai. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. In this line of work, he had met some big shots, but none of them had such terrifying pressure.

Just one glance made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

“Young Master Chu, please calm down. I was wrong. I don’t want a single cent from the intermediary fee but this house really is top-notch. There’s nothing better than this.” Old Jin gritted his teeth.

“Young Master Chu, don’t make things difficult for Old Jin. He only did this because he wanted to help me. If you want to blame someone, blame me,” Wang Zhao said, looking as if he wanted to kill or torture as he pleased.

“I didn’t expect that with your slippery personality, you’d actually be willing to put in your best effort for your friend.” Chu Yunfan glanced at Old Jin and restrained his aura. He thought of Gao Hongzhi. If it were him, he would probably risk his life for Old Gao too.

“Tell me, what’s wrong with this place?”
