Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 356 News
Wanbao Building.

A luxurious carriage drove slowly into the city from outside Tai'an City, and then stopped outside the gate of Wanbao Tower.

"Master, we are here."

The groom said respectfully towards the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Yao Hongci walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the brand-new Wanbao Building and the incongruous ruins all around, Yao Hongci's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's really better to come early than to come by chance. It's a pity that I was not lucky enough to appreciate yesterday." That night’s duel between martial saints”

But even though he said this, there was not much regret on his face.

The battle last night had turned the entire Tai'an City into ruins.

If he were really in Tai'an City, no one knew whether he would be in danger of death.

It's not his character to lose his life just to join in the fun.

However, based on the ruins on the ground, we can also know from the side what kind of accident happened last night.

Yao Hongci got off the carriage and walked into Wanbao Tower.

Seeing Yao Hongci entering Wanbao Tower, the maid in charge of reception came up to her and said respectfully: "Sir, how can I help you?"

The smile on Yao Hongci's face faded away, and then she said calmly: "Where is Yao Hongshang?"

Naturally, he came to Tai'an City to ask for an explanation.

He prepared the medicinal materials and sent them all the way to Tai'an City, entrusting Senior Lu to refine the clay pills, but in the end they were snatched away.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a product called Soul Palace Pill appeared for auction in Tai'an Auction House.

He didn't even need to guess that it was Yao Hongshang who stole his Niwan Dan and renamed it Soul Palace Realm for auction.

He also sent someone to negotiate with Yao Hongshang, but the other party claimed that he didn't know and picked it clean.

As far as he knew, the Niwan Pill had sold 600 million Yuan Jing.

If he didn't get the money back, how could he find Senior Lu to continue refining the Niwan Pill.

According to the 800/[-] split, he needs to give Senior Lu [-] million yuan crystals.

You can't just produce the medicinal materials yourself and end up losing money, right?

No, since Yao Hongshang was cheating, he had no choice but to come in person.

At the same time, I also want to establish a separate connection with Senior Lu in Tai'an City, and then bypass Yao Hongshang to prevent this evil-hearted woman from secretly intercepting Hu.
Unexpectedly, this trip gave him a big surprise. The entire Tai'an City was reduced to ruins in the battle last night.

"The medicine dispenser?"

The maid was startled for a moment, and then said: "Please come with me, sir."

Immediately, under the leadership of the maid, Yao Hongci followed all the way to the room where Yao Hongshang was.

"Sir, the medicine shopkeeper is in the room."

The maid knocked on Yao Hongshang's door, then opened the door after waiting for a while, and Yao Hongci stepped into the room.

"Second sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Yao Hongci walked into the room, her face suddenly filled with a warm smile, and she said hello with a smile.

"Third brother?"

When Yao Hongshang saw Yao Hongci, her pretty face couldn't help but froze, and then she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Third brother, why didn't you say hello to me when you came here?"

"Are you really the one who harmed the second sister without any preparation?"

If you were prepared, how could I settle the score with you?

Yao Hongci cursed in her heart, and then said straight to the point: "Second sister, regarding the Niwan Dan thing, didn't you go a little too far?"

"Niwan Dan?"

Yao Hongshang's pretty face was full of confusion and she said: "Third brother, second sister doesn't understand what you mean. What is the Niwan Dan you are talking about?"

Obviously, she did not want to admit that the Niwan Pill was taken away by her and auctioned off as the Soul Palace Pill.
Yao Hongci continued: "It's the Soul Palace Pill that is being auctioned by your Tai'an Auction House."

"Soul Palace Pill?"

Yao Hongshang still pretended to be confused, and then said: "Not long ago, someone commissioned an auction house to conduct an auction. Third brother, are you here for this matter?"

Yao Hongci said calmly: "Second sister, you don't have to completely distance yourself from this matter."

"You know about the refining of Niwan Dan. If it weren't for you, I really don't know who would take it away."

"You don't have to pretend to be confused with me here. Now that I'm here, you should understand that I'm here to collect debts."

"As far as I know, the Niwan Pill, which was the Soul Palace Pill that was auctioned that day, was sold for a total of 600 million yuan crystals. If you hand over the money, this matter will be revealed."

Yao Hongshang's eyes flashed and she chuckled: "Third brother, what do you mean by what you said? What does the Soul Palace Pill have to do with the second sister?"

"Someone entrusted the auction house to conduct the auction. I am only responsible for the auction. As for the money from the auction, it has already been settled to the customer who entrusted the auction house."

"You can't let the second sister bear your losses, right?"

"The second sister only earned a handling fee, but you want the second sister to pay 600 million yuan for crystals. Where did the second sister get so much money?"

Yao Hongci sneered: "If you don't give it, then I will have to take the matter to the Presbyterian Council. Second sister, you don't want someone from the Presbyterian Council to force you to hand over this Yuan Jing, right?"

"For our brother and sister's sake, I didn't end up on the road to death. You must never let us brother and sister go to that point."

Hearing Yao Hongci's words, Yao Hongshang chuckled and said: "Although I didn't steal this Soul Palace Pill, since the third brother has brought out the friendship between sister and brother, the second sister can't do it for This is only 600 million yuan crystals, but it has ruined the friendship between our sister and brother."

"The second sister is willing to pay these 600 million yuan crystals, but this does not mean that the Niwan Pill you are talking about is the one sent by the second sister to steal it. I hope the third brother will understand this."

"Second sister just thinks that it's not worth it to have a mere 600 million yuan crystals to cause a quarrel between us siblings."

Hearing Yao Hongshang's words, Yao Hongci couldn't help but twitch violently.

This girl's calculations are really loud.

If it was really not you who robbed the Niwan Dan, would you be willing to pay 600 million Yuan Crystal out of your own pocket?
It's obvious that you have a guilty conscience
However, Yao Hongshang was willing to hand over the 600 million yuan crystal, which made him relieved.

Thirty-six million yuan crystals, even for him, is not a small sum.

Yao Hongshang took out a space ring, handed it to Yao Hongci, and said with a smile: "This space ring contains 600 million yuan crystals. Third brother, would you like to order it?"

Seeing that Yao Hongshang had been prepared, Yao Hongci felt even more contemptuous. After taking the space ring, he said: "No need, the third brother still trusts the second sister on this point."

"I just hope that the second sister will not do such petty theft in the future. It is really unjustifiable to ruin the friendship between our sister and brother for a mere Niwan Pill."

"If the second sister is short of money, she can tell the third brother. The second sister and I are heart to heart, but the second sister is playing tricks with me. Wouldn't it be a joke if outsiders saw it?"

Listening to Yao Hongci's words, Yao Hongshang's pretty face couldn't help but stiffen.

This guy is really cursing people in a roundabout way.

But her goal of snatching the Niwan Pill has been achieved.

Because of the auction of Niwandan, Wanbaolou's performance increased several times, so it was understandable that Yaohongci was ridiculed.

"By the way, the third brother is here. There is one more thing he wants to tell the second sister."

Yao Hongci seemed to have remembered something, tossing the space ring in his hand and said with a chuckle.

"Oh?"

Yao Hongshang raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I wonder if third brother has anything else to do?"

Yao Hongci smiled and said: "I wonder if my second sister has ever heard of the myth of Huangfu, the third son of King Leichi of Leichi Prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"heard about it."

Yao Hongshang nodded and asked in confusion: "Why did the third brother and the second sister mention him?"

Yao Hongci chuckled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the third brother heard that my father and the elders have discussed and are going to marry you to Huangfu Shinhwa."

Hearing Yao Hongci's words, the smile on Yao Hongshang's face suddenly froze.

She looked at Yao Hongci coldly and said in a deep voice: "Yao Hongci, even if the second sister robbed your Niwan Dan, she has given the money back to you now. As for why you gave it to the second sister for such a trivial matter?" Sold?"

Apparently she thought Yao Hongci was dissatisfied with her secretly snatching his Niwan Dan, and then stabbed herself to the Presbyterian Church.
Yao Hongci took a sip of tea and said with a chuckle: "Second sister, you think too highly of third brother. Third brother only heard the rumor that the Elder Council intends to marry you to Huangfu Shinhwa."

"Do you think the third brother can have that much weight?" "I think you should also know that Wanbao Tower has a close relationship with King Leichi, and King Leichi also intends to pass his throne to his third son, Huangfu Shinhwa."

"The reason why the Presbyterian Church wants you to marry is simply because it hopes that the two parties can achieve more cooperation."

"I think you should also know what the Presbyterian Council needs in the hands of King Lei Chi."

After hearing what Yao Hongci said, Yao Hongshang frowned and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The news brought by Yao Hongci was undoubtedly a bombshell, setting off a storm in her heart.

She worked hard to run the Wanbao Building in the Wei Dynasty. She wanted to make some achievements and wanted the people in the Presbyterian Church to know that she was not a useless vase and that she could also make a huge contribution to the Wanbao Building.

But once she marries Huangfu Shinhwa, she will be reduced to a vase again and lose all autonomy.

For the benefit of Wanbao Tower, it is necessary to sacrifice oneself. No one involved can accept this situation.

It's just that she is soft-spoken, and even her father, who is the owner of Wanbao Tower, cannot go against the opinions of the majority of the elders of the Presbyterian Church.

Seeing Yao Hongshang's uncertain expression, Yao Hongci chuckled and said, "Second sister, maybe the Presbyterian Council only mentioned this matter and had no intention of doing so. You don't need to worry too much."

Yao Hongshang shook his head secretly in his heart. Since Yao Hongci had already heard the news, it meant that the Presbyterian Church did have plans in this regard.

If that was the case, she would have to plan ahead.

Should I give up everything I have now, break up with my family, collect money and run away, and live my whole life incognito?

Or is he acquiescing to the family's proposal and marrying Huangfu Shinhwa?

No.

Yao Hongshang couldn't help but shook her head. She worked hard to prevent her destiny from being manipulated by others.

If I married Huangfu Shinhwa, would I still have the life I wanted at that time?
She enjoys running a business and living a life free from the constraints of others.

But how can she let her family see her abilities and give up the plan of marrying her to the Huangfu family?
Yao Hongshang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It’s true that just after solving a headache problem, another headache problem suddenly appeared.

Yao Hongci chuckled and said: "Second sister, third brother brought you such important news, second sister can't be silent at all, right?"

Yao Hongshang glanced at him, and then said lightly: "What do you want?"

Yao Hongci smiled and said, "Third brother hopes that second sister can give me Senior Lu's contact information."

Yes, this is poaching openly.

Yao Hongshang shook her head and said: "Third brother, you must have seen the changes that happened to Tai'an City. Do you think the second sister still knows where this senior Lu is?"

The smile on Yao Hongci's face suddenly froze, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

One of his purposes in coming to Tai'an City was to contact Senior Lu alone, and then the two parties would cooperate to bypass Yao Hongshang.

After all, it's not a pleasant feeling to be cut off halfway.

But now that Tai'an City has been destroyed in last night's incident, the contact location given by Senior Lu has naturally been completely cut off.

Now it seems that we can only hope that the other party will find Wanbao Tower on his own.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by the maid, and a figure shrouded in black robes stepped into the room.

Seeing each other's outfit, Yao Hongshang and Yao Hongci couldn't help but look at each other.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Yao Hongshang cursed in her heart.

With Wanbao Tower here, as long as Senior Lu is in Tai'an City, he will naturally come to his door.

Yao Hongci wanted to get in touch with Senior Lu unilaterally and bypass Wanbao Tower, which was naturally not what she wanted to happen.

But it's good now. We were talking about Senior Lu, and the other party happened to come to our door?
At this moment, Yao Hongshang could only secretly pray that the figure shrouded in black robes was not Senior Lu.

"Cough cough."

However, Su Yu's clearing of throat made De Yao Hongshang's heart sink to the bottom.

"Senior Lu, are you here?"

Yao Hongshang said with a smile on her pretty face.

How much she didn't want to see Senior Lu at this moment, but at this moment, she met him.
When he saw the two people in the room, Su Yu couldn't help but be startled, and then said in a vicissitudes of voice: "Medicine shopkeeper, Mr. Medicine, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you?"

"Senior Lu, are you here?"

Yao Hongci's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he chuckled: "Senior Lu is safe and sound after last night's incident. It's really a blessing."

Su Yu chuckled and said, "I happened to be away from Tai'an City, so I luckily avoided this incident."

"By the way, I came here today just to ask if Mr. Yao still has the medicinal materials for refining the Niwan Dan. I have now reached the Hidden Dragon Realm, and I hope to take another step forward before my death. "

"Of course, I will also buy the finally refined Niwan Pill at half the price of 600 million for the Soul Palace Pill at the previous auction. I wonder what Young Master Yao thinks?"

Hearing that Su Yu was planning to use the Niwan Pill to attack the Soul Palace realm, Yao Hongshang and Yao Hongci were startled.

But then, Yao Hongshang couldn't help but feel happy.

If Senior Lu can successfully attack the Soul Palace realm, wouldn't he have the opportunity to refine the Longevity Pill among the third-grade ancient pill formulas?

Wanshou Dan is a prescription left over from ancient times. Yao Hongshang also bought it from a martial artist for 1 Yuan Crystal by chance.

After all, for alchemists in this era, no one can refine third-grade elixirs.

The reason why Yao Hongshang bought this elixir recipe was just out of curiosity, and she never thought that an alchemist would successfully refine it. It was purely out of the intention of collecting it.

The Longevity Pill is not a pill that assists warriors in their cultivation, but a pill that can provide people with longevity.

According to the introduction of the elixir, one Wanshou Dan can provide the user with five to ten years of longevity.

For ordinary people, Longevity Pill is naturally something that is beyond their reach.

But for those wealthy families who are dying, a longevity pill is what they dream of.

It is conceivable that if the Longevity Pill is successfully refined, it will cause a huge sensation in the world.

At that time, will the people in the family council of elders still allow themselves to marry?
Thinking of this, Yao Hongshang's heart was pounding.

Senior Lu really gave himself a big surprise.

But she would definitely not do all this in front of Yao Hongci.

What she wants is that when the Longevity Pill comes out, the people of the Presbyterian Church will beg her to sell it to them.

By then, wouldn't she be able to wait for the price?
At the same time, she was also ready to see if the medicinal materials for refining the Longevity Pill could still be gathered in this day and age.

Yao Hongci was overjoyed. This time he came to Tai'an City, but he brought twelve quantities of medicinal materials for refining Niwan Dan.

But when he came to Tai'an City and saw all the devastation, his heart became cold.

If Senior Lu ended up dead in last night's accident, then he would have prepared so many medicinal materials for refining Niwan Dan in vain.

After all, in the world now, only Senior Lu in front of him has the alchemy skills to refine mud pills.

If Senior Lu dies, the materials prepared will be of no use.

Now seeing Senior Lu, especially hearing that he was preparing to refine Niwandan to give him what he needed, Yao Hongci knew that his trip was not in vain.

Yao Hongci smiled and said: "Senior Lu, this junior came to Tai'an City and specially prepared twelve quantities of medicinal materials for refining the Niwan Dan. If senior does not have enough, then junior can ask the people below to continue to collect them."

"Twelve copies?"

Su Yu was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel happy.

With these twelve Niwan Pills, promotion to the Soul Palace realm is already a certainty.

"That's a coincidence."

Su Yu chuckled and said: "In that case, I will buy each medicinal material at a price of 800 million Yuan Crystal. What do you think, Mr. Yao?"

Yao Hongci smiled and said, "It all depends on Senior Lu!"

When Su Yu left Wanbao Tower, the space ring already contained the twelve medicinal materials for refining the mud pill.

At the same time, the more than 2 million yuan of crystals in his space ring were once again squandered by him to purchase the medicinal materials for Niwan Dan.
