"Name?"
"Lu Huaiben"
"Where are you from?"
"A native of Qianshan, Yuanzhao Kingdom."
Hey, he’s still a fellow countryman!
Luo Chen knocked on the fairy beans and raised his eyebrows. He was also from Yuan Zhao Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the person hanging on the shelf opposite is also from his hometown.
Mi Shuhua glared at Luo Chen, and then motioned to Sikong Shoujia to continue asking.
Lu Huaiben, who was on the iron shelf, had been tortured for a whole night and was taken care of by various underhanded means. He was now dying.
Therefore, almost all questions are answered.
Sikong Shoujia continued to ask: "I said which force do you come from?"
"I don't have any influence, I'm just a casual cultivator, living in Xuelianfang."
"What's your big brother's name?"
"My eldest brother is Shanxiu, and he is also a casual cultivator. We usually make a living by hunting monsters."
"Since you are hunting monsters, why do you want to rob and kill our hall master? Tell me, is it someone who instigated it?"
"No, I just heard that the alchemist is very rich. We plan to make a big fortune before leaving."
"You still dare to lie. It seems you haven't suffered enough!"
Sikong Shoujia's expression flashed sharply, and the three silver needles that were originally inserted into Lu Huaiben's head suddenly sank a little.
"Ahhhh..."
Lu Huaiben, who was dying, suddenly began to tremble violently, like a fish jumping before death.
Sikong Shoujia paused with his hands empty, and the silver needle floated up.
Lu Huaiben gasped for air, like a drowning person taking in fresh air.
"Stop pricking, don't prick, please."
Tears and snot flowed down uncontrollably along with the blood.
Lu Huaiben cried and shouted: "We really just want to pass by and get a vote, no one is instructing us."
"Nonsense. Dan Chenzi's whereabouts are elusive and he almost never leaves the alchemy hall. How could you guys be so lucky and just happen to block him? There must have been a tip-off, saying, who is it?"
"No, really not. We learned through a female cultivator named Yuan Xiaoyue that Dan Chenzi would deliver a batch of goods to her every month, and we calculated that it was during these days."
Yuan Xiaoyue?
Sikong Shoujia turned his head and looked at Luo Chen.
At this moment, Luo Chen also frowned and sent a message to Sikong Shoujia.
"Continue to ask, what is Yuan Xiaoyue's relationship with them, and why did she tell him this information?"
Under Sikong Shoujia's questioning, Lu Huaiben sobbed and said, "We bought all her fairy beans and asked her if she had any more. She said we would have them in two days."
Well!
Everyone was stunned, and Luo Chen even stiffened.
Damn, if you are so smart, why don't you take the postgraduate entrance examination?
"Okay, let me ask you another question. Your boss is called Shanxiu, right? Where is his residence in Dahefang? Over there in Xuelianfang, where does he live?"
"I'm warning you, you must tell the truth, otherwise I will have to give you two sets of this magical needle."
A thick silver needle was held in Sikong Shoujia's hand with obsession.
Lu Huaiben trembled all over, his eyes full of horror.
He quickly told the boss's location one by one, and even added a few possible places later.
That’s all I’ve asked, and there’s nothing more to ask.
Mi Shuhua and Luo Chen got up and walked out.
"Elder Sikong, please ask for another two days to see if there is any more information."
"Little old man, I know."
Sikong Shoujia smiled sinisterly, took out a handful of silver needles from his body, and stared at Lu Huaiben like a little sheep.
Even if a monk doesn't specialize in physical training, he is still far stronger than a mortal, so he has something to play with.
Listening to the shrill sounds coming from the dungeon behind, Luo Chen shook his body.
The moment Sikong Shoujia personally went to the execution ground, he almost thought he saw Grandma Rong.
Isn't this little old man usually quite kind?
"Gang Leader, is this how we usually interrogate prisoners?"
"Yes, the Poshan Gang originally had a punishment hall. Later, I felt it was not very good, so I disbanded it. Before the dissolution, Elder Sikong served as the leader of the punishment hall for a period of time. How about it, his craftsmanship is not bad, he As soon as he came out, the man poured beans through a bamboo tube and said everything."
Luo Chen shook his head quickly, "Isn't that what I said? Shouldn't you Foundation Establishment monks have some means of soul searching, ecstasy, etc.?"
After these words were spoken, Luo Chen clearly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Looking from the side, he found Mi Shuhua looking at him in surprise.
"Where did you hear this?"
Luo Chen cautiously replied, "It was said when everyone was bragging at the casual cultivator market."
Mi Shuhua shook his head, "Whether it is soul searching or ecstasy, they are all evil methods. In our Jade Cauldron Territory, and even in the Six Far East Territories, they are strictly prohibited spells."
"Really? I don't believe it!" Luo Chen said firmly: "Those goblins in Tianxiang Tower are very good at it, I heard!"
"Haha, that's another method."
Mi Shuhua smiled slightly.
The two walked along and finally came out of the tunnel.
At this time, the night had passed and the sky was already bright.
He came back in the middle of the night last night. After chasing him for a long time, he failed to catch Shanxiu who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The Water Escape Talisman is not a popular commodity, but a genuine Five Elements Escape Technique - Water Escape.
Among the five-star escape techniques, the most basic escape techniques are all second-level spells.
Once deployed, it can reach within a hundred miles in an instant.
In addition, Shanxiu was from Xuelianfang, and most of the people there were good at hiding. Mi Shuhua spent half a night looking for him, but he really couldn't catch him.
The man's spiritual sense was so keen that he almost sensed the danger, so he activated the water escape talisman at all costs.
He even did not hesitate to exchange injuries with Liu Qiang and received a knife.
The two stood under the eaves, watching the snowflakes falling.
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter, but from the current point of view, we can rule out the instigation of several major forces. It should be a simple robbery cultivator!"
Tribulation cultivation can also be linked to innocence!
"Is it possible that Gao Tingyuan is targeting me?" Luo Chen suddenly mentioned his name.
Mi Shuhua thought for a while and shook his head.
"It shouldn't be him. After all, I already greeted Wang Haichao last time."
"And to tell you the truth, if the Chalcedony Pill is sold in other markets in the future, we will also cooperate with the Dajiang Gang, so he won't kill the goose that lays the goose to get the egg."
Luo Chen sneered, "This is the idea of you foundation-building monks, but it has nothing to do with Gao Tingyuan."
"What you said makes some sense!" Mi Shuhua thought for a moment and said, "Well, let me say hello to Wang Haichao and ask him to pay attention to Gao Tingyuan. No matter it is him or not, danger will always be nipped in the cradle. "
"With your words, I feel at ease."
Luo Chen yawned, waved his hands and was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to have remembered something.
"Gang Leader, the weather is getting cold, and the monks in the Alchemy Hall are not having a good time."
After saying that, he left grandly, and with him, there were four more monks.
All of them are tall and powerful, and their realms are quite impressive, with the lowest being at the seventh level of Qi refining.
When Liu Qiang returns from recovery, his bodyguard team will grow to five.
I went out with five bodyguards who were in the late stage of Qi refining, and asked Dahefang who had such treatment!
Mi Shuhua stood under the eaves, still thinking about something.
There were footsteps behind him, and he asked without looking back: "Ping'er, is something wrong?"
Mi Junping said excitedly: "Sikong Shoujia sent over the account book of the alchemy hall last month. I found that more than 4,000 chalcedony pills were refined last month. Among them, the number of medium-grade chalcedony pills was as high as 1,200. Hundreds!"
Mi Shuhua was startled, and then showed a look of ecstasy.
More than a thousand medium-grade chalcedony pills, ten pills in a bottle, a bottle worth fifty spiritual stones, that is more than five thousand spiritual stones.
If you add those low-grade chalcedony pills...
After deducting many material costs and personnel costs, Mi Shuhua can earn at least two thousand spiritual stones!
And this is just one month’s income!
After persisting for a few years, he even had the confidence to buy a defensive magic weapon.
Even if you don't buy defensive magic weapons, there is almost no need to worry too much about the cultivation resources from the middle to late foundation building stages.
And as Luo Chen becomes more and more familiar with the refining of chalcedony pills, he is afraid that his profits will increase in the future.
"Sure enough, I made the most correct decision by investing in Luo Chen at all costs."
"From the moment I learned that he was the one who refined the middle-grade elixir, I knew that Luo Chen would be a noble person on my path of cultivation!"
Listening to the old father talking to himself almost losing his temper.
Mi Junping couldn't help but ask: "Is Luo Chen really that important?"
"Ping'er, you must remember. Alchemists are always the most valuable talents in the world of immortality!"
"Don't offend him, don't let him have a negative view of you, let alone have any conflicts."
"Even if there is a conflict, either resolve it immediately, or get rid of the alchemist immediately at all costs."
Mi Junping opened her mouth, intending to refute.
But thinking about the benefits that Dantang can bring last month, I am speechless.
After the ecstasy, Mi Shuhua gradually calmed down.
That income is not so easy to obtain. He still needs to pay some benefits to others.
"Ping'er, please send an invitation to Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion for me, and invite a distinguished guest to a banquet at Zhong Ding's house tomorrow night."
"In addition, contact the Nangong family. They are a family that has just moved from Xuelianfang and are very familiar with it. I need to know specific information about Shanxiu."
"I'm going to go to Dajiang Gang later. You have someone notify Wang Yuan of Jiaotang and ask him to accompany me."
After talking for a long time, he seemed to still have something to say. Looking at his daughter's eyes, a good idea came to his mind.
In Mi Junping's shocked eyes, he mentioned something.
"Your Taoist partner has been dead for many years. Do you want to consider getting married again?"
…
…
Luo Chen didn't know yet that someone was planning a marriage for him.
With a few bodyguards, he swaggered back to the inner city.
It was still early, so he went to Yuan's home first.
When I was settling last month's income, I found that there were fifty yuan more spiritual stones than before.
"I met a nice person and said that fairy beans are delicious and I want to buy more fairy beans."
"I said we can't sell them all to him, there are still some old customers."
"He didn't want to. He would rather increase the price and buy it all. The extra fifty spiritual stones were given by him."
Luo Chen looked complicated. They really went to great lengths to rob him!
After sighing, Luo Chen began to divide the accounts.
The gross income is seven hundred spirit stones.
Now that he no longer pays a fixed salary, he will give Yuan Xiaoyue, in addition to the 30 yuan fixed salary, he will have to calculate profit dividends after deducting costs.
As for the cost of things like fairy beans and popcorn?
After all calculations, it would not exceed a hundred spirit stones.
The profit is high!
It is precisely because of the high profits that it attracts so many followers.
That is to say, the market is limited and it is difficult to expand the scale. Otherwise, Luo Chen would want to open a processing factory for himself outside Dantang to specialize in producing these things.
"Here, take your 30 yuan fixed salary and 30 yuan bonus!"
Yuan Xiaoyue took the spiritual stone excitedly.
She is no longer a young girl who doesn't understand anything.
I have been hanging out in Baishi Square for a long time and deal with many customers every day. I also know that casual cultivators generally earn a lot of money.
Sixty spirit stones a month is more than almost all the monks in the early stage of Qi refining.
Those monks in the middle stage of Qi refining who have no special skills cannot earn so much.
It is even said that the maids and chores in the sect's shops only have a basic salary of fifty spiritual stones.
With these spiritual stones, her future cultivation resources are guaranteed, and the fourth level of Qi refining is just around the corner!
Seeing her excitement, Luo Chen shook his head and asked:
"How are you selling the milk tea I sent you in the middle of the month?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyue was not so excited.
"It's not easy to sell, it's too expensive. And when customers buy things, they prefer pineapple wine to milk tea."
Hearing what she said, Luo Chen was a little puzzled.
The milk tea formula I developed by myself uses tea leaves produced by several hundred-year-old tea trees found by Yaotang in the mountains, and the milk source comes from a few cows of Beast Hall.
Plus a little bit of spiritual grass stolen from the raw material of chalcedony elixir.
He took a bite at that time. It tasted very good, right?
Selling five spiritual stones, those people didn't buy it?
Damn it, the wild boar must be unable to eat fine chaff.
Since you don’t like high-end tea, let’s lower the price later and make it Mixue Bingcheng!
In an instant, Luo Chen had another plan in mind.
From his storage bag, he took out the fairy beans, popcorn, and beef jerky that the Alchemist monk had fried separately for him.
"These are for next month."
"Besides, I may be very busy in the future and have no time to deliver goods. Can you recognize this old man's face? What is your name?"
Luo Chen turned around and stared at the new bodyguard.
The man's face turned red, "My name is Dongfang Liang, and I just look old, but I'm actually only in my fifties."
Raising his brows, Luo Chen patted his shoulder, "Beautiful boy, you will be responsible for delivering goods for me from now on. She is Yuan Xiaoyue, you should also know her. She is the daughter of Yue Jianhu, the boss of your former medicine hall. Now, she is My partner, the proprietress of Chenyue Food Stall, sees her as if she sees me, do you understand?"
Looking at the very old handsome boy, his face turned red.
Under Luo Chen's gaze, he lowered his head.
"knew."
"Don't be so aggrieved. You won't suffer any loss if you follow me."
Yes, you won’t suffer a loss.
Liu Qiang was still lying at home recovering from his injuries. He was almost beaten to death.
Several bodyguards looked helpless. Who made the gang leader give a death order, asking them to take good care of Luo Chen.
After Luo Chen and the others left, Yuan Xiaoyue also planned to go out and open the business.
When passing by the alley, I was pulled by an aunt.
"Xiaoyue, you must pay attention to safety when you come in and out!"
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
"I just heard a few male monks walking over, and someone asked the pretty boy in the lead if he had a crush on you."
Yuan Xiaoyue was startled, and a blush appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense, that's my boss."
"That's your boss?" The aunt was stunned, and then waved her hand, "That's not important. Anyway, you have to let your grandpa take care of him. I think that boy may look good, but he may be full of evil inside."
Is Brother Luo full of bad ideas?
Yuan Xiaoyue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, as if it was true.
….
"Why are you attracted to her? Yuan Xiaoyue is not yet an adult, so don't talk nonsense."
"But Hall Master, a woman becomes an adult at the age of fifteen!"
"I asked you to talk back!"
Luo Chen jumped up and slapped Dongfang Liang on the shoulder. This guy was obviously so old, but why was he still so tall? Like Wang Yuan, he was over two meters tall!
"She is my partner. There is no way to mess with emotions when it comes to business matters!"
"Anyway, you should take more care of her if nothing happens in the future. After all, dad is dead and grandpa is also disabled. It's so pitiful."
"Oh, okay." Dongfang Liang responded aggrievedly.
Why did Luo Chen instigate him and bully him?
Because this guy is the only one in the bodyguard team who is at the seventh level of Qi refining. He is at the same level as himself and is easy to bully!
"Okay, just send it here. You can go back!"
Several bodyguards dispersed, and Luo Chen looked at Dongfang Liang, who had not left, with confusion.
"Why don't you go back?"
Dongfang Liang said aggrievedly: "I live here, in the big courtyard in front."
Aren’t there mostly female and poor cultivators in this area?
After carefully looking at Dongfang Liang, Luo Chen sighed, "It turns out that you are not doing well at all!"
After saying that, he walked into the alley ahead with his hands behind his back.
Back in the courtyard, it was mid-morning and there was basically no one around.
There was a medicinal smell in the yard, which made Luo Chen take a sniff.
"Could it be that she knew I was intercepted and killed yesterday, so my sister-in-law cooked some medicine for me?"
With the idea that there is nothing there, Luo Chen closed the door tightly.
The drowsiness has not come, but the addiction to taking stock has come.
Storage bag, open!
It's not his storage bag, it's the storage bag named Lu Huaiben.
Crash, a lot of things were piled on the ground.
Luo Chen's mouth suddenly opened wide.
After a long time, he said something sincerely.
"I'm sorry for calling you poor people. I was careless."
The ground was crowded with at least a thousand spiritual stones. The pile really made Luo Chen swallow his saliva.
In addition to the spirit stones, there are five magical instruments, most of which are low-grade, but there are also two medium-grade instruments.
They are a half-meter-long white board and a pair of bells.
From the hill-like pile, Luo Chen rummaged through it again and asked him to find a set of formation flags.
Because they were scattered formation flags and not at the final stage individually, they were not noticed at first.
At this moment, when it was assembled and combined with the array plate, it was discovered that it was a set of hidden spirit arrays with mainly concealment functions.
No wonder Lu Huaiben and his group of calamity cultivators were not immediately discovered at that time. It wasn't until they got closer that Luo Chen relied on his divine soul foundation that was beyond ordinary people and his spiritual eyesight technique to be able to barely notice the clues.
Jie Xiu has a concealment formation, which is very reasonable!
"What a good thing. It's just convenient for me to hide in the spiritual vein cave."
Hehe, it’s time to sleep on the pillow.
Then, Luo Chen stared at the pile of hills and felt sad.
Yes, all the above things cannot actually be piled up into a hill.
What really formed a hill were things that Luo Chen was very familiar with.
"Fairy beans!"
They haven’t finished eating the fairy beans they bought!
Now it has been returned to Luo Chen himself.
Luo Chen was so moved, this was a warm gift from the world of immortality!
Hua Lingshi bought fairy beans from his partner and asked for information about himself.
Then he came to deliver magic weapons, robes, spiritual stones, a few bottles of unknown elixirs, and even the fairy beans he bought with money.
So what to do now?
Take it out and sell it!
This is what we can't let others know, otherwise they will think that my Chenyue Food Stall is a black shop.
After sighing for a moment, Luo Chen organized these things into categories.
The bell should be a sonic weapon. Its specific power is not suitable for testing at home.
I don’t know what this whiteboard is. It looks a bit like a flying magic weapon?
But the speed was probably not very fast. When Lu Huaiben escaped, he did not use this magic weapon.
There are three other low-grade magic weapons, two flying swords, and a small pot.
"They should have robbed it, otherwise the later monks would not carry low-grade magic weapons with them and sell them to the Xuantang when they have time!"
"This little pot... looks familiar!"
Luo Chen's memory went back to the few times he entered Wanbao Tower.
He remembered that there seemed to be a small pot like this placed next to the Danyan Shuyu Building. What was it called?
"Tombona sea pot?"
Luo Chen remembered it, and it seemed that it was this name.
The specific function is similar to a storage bag, but the effect is single and can only hold liquids.
And the capacity is completely worthy of its name.
Wanbaolou likes this. The lower the level of the magic weapon, the more fancy the name.
The light smoke and rain building is actually a range hood.
The lotus-like cloud incense plate is actually a low-grade flying magic weapon, and its speed is so slow that it hurts your feet.
This Tunbona Hai Kettle can actually hold a few hundred kilograms of liquid at most.
It is mainly used by some monks to store liquids that are not easy to store.
"It's like the essence and blood of a monk!"
Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of the main ingredient in the Blood Evil Pill recipe.
Shaking his head vigorously, Luo Chen put aside that dangerous thought.
"Actually, it's absolutely fine. It can be used to develop my milk tea business!"
Luo Chen's heart is on the right path and his business is fair and aboveboard!
After putting away the magic weapon, Luo Chen looked at the bottles of elixirs. He was sure that they were not the style of Dahefang.
It seems to be a special elixir from Snow Lotus Square. If you don't know clearly, don't take it rashly.
Next, Luo Chen rubbed his hands with excitement on his face.
"It's time again for the most exciting part of counting spiritual stones."
"After a month of hard work refining elixirs, I got 1,800 spiritual stones. How can you get rich overnight so quickly?"
"One piece, two pieces..."
