Yin hour three quarters.
In an alley one street away from Lingdanfang.
Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San knelt in front of the red-haired female cultivator and said respectfully:
"Senior, I have done as you asked!"
The red-haired female cultivator waved her hand.
"Resign, villain!"
The three of them clasped their fists, stood up and walked away quickly.
Soon he returned to Zhaiyu Alley and entered the house.
Zhao Yi scratched his head:
"Why do seniors want us to teach a loser a lesson?"
Qian Erdao: "Senior, how can we see through what a master does? Just follow the instructions of senior and do your best!"
Zhao Yi stared at him, thinking, damn, you kid is always flattering, but when he saw Sun San next to him was silent, he couldn't help but ask:
"Sun San, what are you thinking about?"
Sun San raised his head with confusion on his face: "I feel that the aura on the senior's body seems to have changed."
Zhao Yi and Qian Er looked at each other and lowered their voices:
"What's changed?"
Sun San said seriously and loudly: "Senior has become more elegant and dignified! Even if I don't have the heart-gnawing poison in my body, I will always be driven by senior in this life, and I will never change it to the death!"
Zhao Yi and Qian Er were stunned.
"Sun San, you are so shameless!"
"I am the only loyal dog of senior! You can't even think of taking my position!"
"Let's duel and see who is the strongest slave of Senior!"
…
…
The next day.
Qin Gengyun woke up and found Qiu Zhihe beside him still sleeping soundly.
Fellow Daoist Qiu's schedule is quite unpredictable. Sometimes she gets up very early, and sometimes she doesn't get up even when she goes out.
Normally Daoist Qiu goes to bed at about the same time every night, so his wake-up time shouldn't be so irregular.
Perhaps it was because he was tortured in the Demon Sect, which caused his internal energy to become somewhat disordered?
Qin Gengyun didn't wake up Qiu Zhihe, got up gently, went to the kitchen to get dressed, went out and bought some buns, left half of them for Qiu Zhihe, and went out.
When I arrived at the Lingdan Workshop, I saw that the workshop was very noisy. A group of people gathered in front of the old alchemy room and pointed, looking quite excited.
Qin Gengyun walked over and took a look, and his eyes widened immediately.
In the old alchemy room, Yang Fengshan was tied naked to the bronze furnace. His whole body was covered in bruises and bruises, and he looked extremely miserable.
The most embarrassing thing is that with so many people watching, he is still awake. His head hangs down and drool drips from the corner of his mouth. He seems to be sleeping soundly.
Qin Gengyun was shocked and patted Wang Ping who was watching excitedly in front:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what's going on?"
Wang Ping's face flushed with excitement and he whispered:
"I don't know, it's been like this since morning, haha, are you feeling good?"
Xu Li next to him also chuckled: "Comfortable, extremely comfortable!"
At this time, Yang Fengshan finally woke up, opened his eyes in a daze, saw the people watching him, then looked down at himself, as if he finally remembered his situation, and suddenly screamed:
"Ah?! How, how could this happen?!"
He was a monk, and ordinary ropes could not tie him by themselves. He broke the ropes around him with force and fell to the ground, covering his body with his hands.
"My clothes, where are my clothes?!"
"Manager Yang, please put on mine first."
Fang Chao took off his coat and handed it to Yang Fengshan.
Yang Fengshan took it, quickly put it on, and yelled at the onlookers:
"What are you looking at? No more work?! Be careful to deduct your spiritual stones!"
"what happened?"
When the shop owner came, he saw everyone gathered in front of the old alchemy room and Yang Fengshan's miserable look, so he frowned and asked.
"Master, no, it's okay, we are just having fun."
Yang Fengshan felt guilty and said quickly.
"Pack up and come and help me make alchemy!" Pei Daoyu said coldly, turned around and entered the alchemy room.
Everyone dispersed, Yang Fengshan hastily wrapped Fang Chao's coat tightly and quickly entered the alchemy room.
Qin Gengyun wanted to go outside the alchemy room and use his spiritual consciousness to eavesdrop, but he thought that the workshop leader had been in a bad mood recently. If he found out, it would be another trouble.
He gave up this dangerous idea and went about cleaning the yard on his own.
Wang Ping and Xu Li, two gossips, came over and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you know what secrets we heard last night?"
"Last night?" Qin Gengyun understood: "Did you guys go to Yihong Tower again?"
A place like Yihong Building is a mixed bag, and the most well-informed place. Wang Ping and Xu Li often hear some secrets there, and they like to show off and discuss them in front of Qin Gengyun.
So Qin Gengyun looked at the two of them and guessed that they went to Yihong Building again last night.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed our confidant."
Wang Ping laughed and said, "Last night Daoist Xu and I went to Yihong Mansion to listen to music, and the oiran from Zhenyang City talked about some secrets of the Northern Wilderness Trial."
Xu Li took over the conversation and said mysteriously: "The Northern Wilderness Trial will start in seven days, but many disciples of the Zhenyang Sect are complaining that the talismans and elixirs issued this time are of low grade."
"There are even those who use first-grade spiritual powder instead of second-grade spiritual elixir. The disciples all suspect that the person responsible for purchasing is lining his own pockets!"
Qin Gengyun's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "Did the oiran say that some low-grade elixir was used instead of the second-grade elixir?"
Wang Ping shook his head: "That's not to say, fellow Daoist Qin, don't you understand? Why did the shop owner's big deal of two hundred Bingqing Pills go bankrupt? It's because the Zhenyang Sect replaced the second-grade spiritual pills with a large number of low-grade pills! "
Xu Li clicked his tongue and sighed: "I don't know who is so powerful. He used a first-class elixir to squeeze out the great alchemist who followed the shop owner."
Qin Gengyun remained silent and continued to work with his head down.
At Youshi, Qin Gengyun left Lingdan Square on time.
He planned to go to the night market to find Noila Mo first and give her the blood coagulation pill he refined last night to express his gratitude.
However, Qin Gengyun kept thinking in his mind on the way.
I originally planned to go back today and find a landlord to rent a bigger house.
But now he wants to talk slowly.
It is said that the owner of the workshop is following a fourth-level alchemist who has a wide network of contacts and has direct access to the Zhenyang Sect.
I think those two hundred Bingqing Pills were the work of that fourth-level alchemist.
But he was disturbed by his two hundred bags of Qingfeng powder.
The great alchemist must be very angry now, and maybe he is looking for the person who disrupted his big deal.
At this time, if I suddenly act like I got rich overnight, someone who is interested might notice it and tell the boss.
When the time comes, after following the clues and investigating, I will be completely at odds with the shop owner and the great alchemist.
Now my cultivation level and alchemy level are still low, so it is not appropriate to make enemies.
So it’s better to keep a low profile for the time being.
Let’s talk about renting a big house after this matter calms down.
Also, I originally planned to leave Lingdanfang after reaching the second level of alchemy master level and start my own business, but now it seems that I have to postpone it and stay in Lingdanfang to find out the situation before making any plans.
Qin Gengyun quickly arrived at the night market and saw Noila Mo from a distance. There was a middle-aged male cultivator standing in front of her stall. This man didn't seem to be here to buy anything. He had been chatting with Noila Mo.
But Mo Xiaolan didn't pay much attention to him, and the middle-aged male cultivator didn't leave, he just stayed there.
Noila Mo seemed a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
Qin Gengyun walked over and called out: "Fellow Daoist Mo."
When Noila Mo saw him, her face lit up with joy and her voice was clear: "Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here?"
The middle-aged male cultivator turned around when he heard the sound, looked Qin Gengyun up and down, his eyes flashed, and asked Noila Mo:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, this is..."
