In the next two days, all the tasks of serving tea and water fell on Butler Lan alone.
Everyone in the camp was dumbfounded. Butler Lan was a middle-aged man in his forties who worshiped Liu Wuxie as his disciple. If word of this spread, he would lose his worth.
But no one ridiculed him, and instead made everyone envious. Butler Hu had been following behind him for the past few days. Liu Wuxie didn't say anything. Talent in choosing disciples was one aspect, and conduct in life was equally important.
"Master, it's getting late, let's set off!"
After staying in the mine for three days, the accompanying team set off back to Canglan City to transport ten carts of purple gold ore.
"Lan Yu, you go back first, I'll go by myself!"
Liu Wuxie waved his hand and asked Butler Lan to escort the convoy and take the first step. He needed to go into the mountains to practice for a while. With his pace, he would be able to catch up soon.
As the motorcade drove out of the formation, Liu Wuxie handed over the secret of entering and exiting the formation to Xu Yishan, who would control the formation. Without his orders, ordinary people would not be able to leave the camp.
Alone, I traveled through the mountains, hunting monsters, and this time I went deeper.
"boom!"
A second-level iron lizard had its throat sealed with a knife, and its body quickly shriveled up and turned into pure liquid, filling the Taihuang Dantian.
Going deeper and deeper, they were far away from the Sunset Mountains. A group of ancient mountains appeared in front of them, and Liu Wuxie finally stopped.
"It's time to go back!"
The convoy led by Lan Yu had already passed the Qifeng Gorge and used all his strength to catch up with their team one day later and entered Canglan City together.
This time I left for eight days, and Lei Tao would come to Xu's house every day to ask about Liu Wuxie's whereabouts.
Danbao Pavilion has been having a hard time these days. The sales of Tianling Dan far exceeded their expectations. In just a few days, countless warriors have been booked, and orders have been placed even in the surrounding big cities.
If Liu Wuxie didn't show up, they wouldn't dare to take these orders. It would be like eating meat in their mouth but not daring to bite it. You can imagine the taste.
The first thing I did when I came back was to meet my father-in-law.
Weng and son-in-law met in the main hall, with a hint of solemnity in their enthusiasm, and a hint of worry in Xu Yilin's eyes.
"Father-in-law, are you investigating the disappearance of Shi Pojun? It has already been traced to our Xu family."
On the way, Lan Yu mentioned this matter. The investigation team arrived in Canglan City in the past two days, and the four major families were all targets of investigation.
"Well, fifty Shipo troops and a thousand captain disappeared in our Canglan City, alarming the Yan Dynasty and sending an investigation team to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Xu Yilin has also been worried about this matter in the past few days. Shi Pojun's mysterious disappearance has made every family panic, fearing that something will be found.
Shi Pojun was so angry that his corpses lay thousands of miles away, and no one in Canglan City could bear it.
"When will the investigation team arrive?"
Liu Wuxie asked that some preparations were needed. Deacon Qi and others were not very worried. The only worry was whether the City Lord's Mansion would use this matter to attack the Xu family.
"I just arrived today and will stay at the City Lord's Mansion. The investigation will begin tomorrow. The specific situation will not be clear until tomorrow."
Xu Yilin frowned and glanced meaningfully at Liu Wuxie. Shi Pojun's mysterious disappearance was no accident. These days, he used all means to investigate some clues. Shi Pojun left Canglan City and entered the Sunset Mountains ten days ago.
Gone never to return.
Various signs indicate that Shi Pojun died in the Sunset Mountains in all likelihood.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that cannot be avoided. Soldiers will come to block it, and water will come and earth will cover it. All we have to do is adapt to circumstances."
Liu Wuxie comforted her by saying that too much speculation would only increase her burden. Liu Wuxie definitely saw this more clearly than her father-in-law.
"That's all we can do now. Thanks to your intervention regarding the mineral vein, you should go back and rest earlier."
When he returned to his yard, he had no time to rest, so he lit a fire and devoted himself to refining the heavenly elixir.
It was not until the time to hold the lantern that it was over. More than 200 pieces were refined, breaking through the third level of innate realm. When refining, they became even more handy, and the rate of making pills in each furnace was extremely high.
After changing into a set of clothes, he put the Tianling Pill into his arms. Zhou Hu's storage bag had been destroyed long ago. If it was left behind, it would only be a disaster.
Danbao Pavilion was closed. When he learned that Liu Wuxie was coming, Master Huo went out to greet him personally. As if he were seeing a relative, he took Liu Wuxie's arm and walked into the reception room.
"Mr. Liu, you made it easy for us to wait!"
With a resentful look on his face, like a young daughter-in-law waiting for a man, Lei Tao stood aside, the corner of his mouth twitching, and his enthusiasm was a bit too much.
"I left Canglan City temporarily because of something. Here are two hundred coins. I will postpone my urgent needs. I will provide about one hundred coins every day."
Liu Wuxie touched her nose, took out all the elixirs in her arms, and placed them all over the table.
Seeing the elixir, Master Huo and Lei Tao's eyes shone. They had been tortured by the Tianling elixir in the past few days and were in a state of ecstasy. There were not many strong people among them. They were forced to put pressure on them and they must refine it as soon as possible.
"Tap tap tap..."
From the passage in the distance, there was a sound of stepping, like the sound of horseshoe boots walking on smooth stone slabs. It was crisp and penetrating.
Hearing this voice, Master Huo and Lei Tao stood up with a groan and walked out quickly.
"Pavilion Master, you are here."
The master of Danbao Pavilion, a strong man in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, left Canglan City for the Imperial City a few days ago and just came back not long ago.
He had already known about the Tian Ling Dan matter, and the contract he signed did not blame Master Huo and the others. Under the circumstances at that time, he would have done the same thing.
He is in his fifties, with a rosy face, wearing a tiger skin jacket and sky boots. He is eight feet tall. His facial expression is a bit stiff and his edges are extremely sharp. At first glance, he is the kind of person who has a clear sense of grudges and grudges.
Before he could stand still, his eyes fell on Liu Wuxie, and when they looked at each other, there was an invisible pressure that crushed him down.
Show off your power!
The first step was to show off his power and force Danbao Pavilion to do things for him and sign a treaty. This was something that had never happened before. Although Danbao Pavilion would not suffer a loss, it would also damage its reputation if word spread about it.
Master Huo and Lei Tao stepped aside and did not dare to say anything.
The Ghost Eye Technique was quietly used, the Immortal Emperor's consciousness was shrouded, and the more powerful soul power was shocked back. Suddenly there was a violent roar in the reception room, and the tables and chairs floated into the air. This scene shocked Master Huo and Lei Tao.
"Young Master Liu really deserves his reputation!"
The Master of Danbao Pavilion suddenly withdrew his gaze, and the expression on his face changed 360 degrees. He laughed and sat next to Liu Wuxie. He looked completely different from before.
Lei Tao and Master Huo looked at each other with black lines in their eyes. How could they not see that the pavilion master wanted to give him a blow, but failed. He looked at Liu Wuxie with eyes full of fear.
"Junior Liu Wuxie, please pay your respects to the Pavilion Master!"
Standing up and bowing, Liu Wuxie was not stingy with the due etiquette. The Master of Danbao Pavilion reached out to stop Liu Wuxie. The relationship between the two was very close. It was definitely not like meeting for the first time, but rather like an old friend.
Meet friends.
"My name is Bi Gongyu. From now on, just call me Bi Lao. Don't always call me Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master. It seems awkward."
The master of Danbao Pavilion invited Liu Wuxie to sit down, and his tone was very polite. This was not his style. What Liu Wuxie did was threatening Danbao Pavilion, but he did not get angry, which made Lei Tao and others look stunned.
, it’s really puzzling.
Then they chatted about other things. Regarding the method of refining the Tianling Pill, Bi Gongyu didn't mention a word, and Liu Wuxie didn't even mention it. After talking for an hour, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
"Lao Bi, it's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest."
Liu Wuxie stood up, and the three of them personally escorted him out of the Danbao Pavilion. They waited until he completely disappeared, then turned around and returned to the reception room.
Bi Gongyu's face suddenly darkened, and his enthusiastic look just now was like heaven and earth.
"Pavilion Master, why didn't you just ask me directly about the method of refining the Tianling Pill?"
Lei Tao was puzzled. He had no physical problems and did not need Liu Wuxie's help in treating his illness. He did not respect Liu Wuxie's attitude very much, so he asked his doubts.
"You think I don't want to!"
Bi Gongyu was lying on the soft couch, with a flash of fierceness in his eyes. What made him suddenly change his mind? He was in the marrow-cleansing realm and could crush Liu Wuxie to death with one hand.
"Please give me a clear explanation from the Pavilion Master!"
The two of them looked at the Pavilion Master with hope on their faces, waiting for his answer. Master Huo forced Liu Wuxie to hand over the refining method that day. Due to his ill health, he had no choice but to compromise. Why did the Pavilion Master?
"Do you know what I saw in his eyes just now?"
Recalling the scene just now, Bi Gongyu broke into a cold sweat. The moment their eyes met, he knew that he was wrong. The ghost eye technique almost sucked away his soul. Those were not human eyes, but the eyes of ghosts and gods.
"What did you see?"
The two of them asked in unison, "There are not many things that can scare the Pavilion Master. Even the Lord of Canglan City must be polite and respectful when meeting the Pavilion Master."
"In a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, countless skulls were flying toward me. At that moment, I realized the danger of death. If I continued to look at each other, it would definitely be me who died."
Both of them are confidants and have followed him for many years. They did not hide some words and told them truthfully.
"Is this young man really so scary? He can make the Pavilion Master afraid!"
Lei Tao took a breath. He didn't have much contact with Liu Wuxie and didn't know him very well. Recalling the scene in the Colosseum, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Step by step, he finally won a large amount of gold coins, plus two hundred spiritual stones, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
"Pavilion Master, how about going to the Imperial City this time? Can you keep the status of the branch pavilion in Canglan City?"
Master Huo asked with concern, "Danbao Pavilion is affiliated to Tianbao Sect. Each dynasty has a main pavilion, and some big cities have branch pavilions. If the benefits are not good, or the management is poor, they will be banned directly."
In the past few years, the Danbao Pavilion in Canglan City has become increasingly insignificant. Other big cities have been in full swing and have researched many new elixirs. However, they have been resting on their laurels and are about to be unable to sustain it. The Pavilion Master went here this time because of this.
"We are holding on for the time being. It is just a temporary measure. Within the Yan Dynasty, our branch of Canglan City ranks second from the bottom. The annual profit is only to maintain its own development. Although it does not make ends meet, the profit is extremely small. If it continues like this, we will be eliminated.
It's a matter of time."
When I went to the Imperial City for review this time, Danbao Pavilion in Canglan City ranked second to last. The first branch of the Pavilion was announced to be closed, and they naturally became the last one.
Pei Yuan Dan is the most common elixir on the market and can be purchased in any big city. Danbao Pavilion only has a monopoly on Canglan City. If you want to expand your business, relying on Pei Yuan Dan alone is far from enough.
"Pavilion Master, Tianling Pill is an opportunity for us, we must seize it."
Master Huo is eager to get the method of refining the Tianling Pill. As long as he masters it, Canglan City's Danbao Pavilion will skyrocket to his status.
"Pavilion Master, the Imperial City Investigation Team will start investigating the four major families tomorrow. If the Xu family is involved, we..."
