I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 110 I will seek justice for you with the knife in my hand

When Zhang Cheng reported back that Linghu Shuo had left the capital overnight and was nowhere to be found, Liu Qi was not surprised at all. After all, she had seen with her own eyes the escape skills of this "purple-eyed blue sky".

"Your Majesty, should we...should have made plans earlier?" Zhang Cheng hunched over, rubbed his hands, and said tentatively.

Ever since Liu Qi told him that Linghu Shuo had discovered his identity, Zhang Cheng fell into despair, thinking that even if the people from the Six Gates did not accept him, he would probably not be able to survive with the methods of the Black Prison Gate. Although I had thought that such a day would come from the day I stepped into the Black Hell Gate, it was a pity that there were young concubines in those rooms...

But almost two days had passed. Not only was the master still leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard of Liu Mansion as usual, but the people from the six doors did not break in and take him away as he imagined.

Then Zhang Cheng became more active again.

"Plan?" Liu Qi put down his cup and raised his eyebrows, "What's your plan? Are you still thinking of dragging your family and your family out of the capital?"

"I..." Zhang Cheng was suddenly speechless.

Liu Qi said very calmly: "Let's not talk about whether you can walk or not. You must know that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. With the skills of a three-legged cat like you, you can reach it. Where to go?"

"I..." Zhang Cheng was about to cry but had no tears.

Yes, where can he go?

I regret that I was greedy and boarded the pirate ship at the Black Hell Gate. Now... my life is at stake!

Seeing Zhang Cheng's expression, Liu Qi suddenly put on a cold face: "What, you regret it? When you slept with your arms around your young and beautiful concubine, you never thought that such a day would happen?"

Wandering spirits are different from sword slaves. Most of the wandering spirits in the Black Hell Gate are bribed first and then intimidated.

For example, Zhang Cheng originally joined the Hell Gate simply because he was lustful and had no money. After he realized what kind of place the Hell Gate was, he could no longer escape.

According to "Judge" Yu An, who has died at the hands of Liu Qidao, there is no real image of a street gangster among the people who were trained and disguised!

Although it was a U-turn business, didn't Zhang Cheng also buy several houses and keep several concubines in the capital where land was at a premium?

Seeing the defeated look on Zhang Cheng's face, Liu Qi knew that the heat was almost over, so he snorted coldly: "Stop that look of despair on your face. I haven't left yet. I, Liu Qi, am here." Day, to ensure that you can live one more day."

Zhang Cheng was startled at first when he heard this, then looked up at Liu Qi in a daze, and finally his eyes gradually turned red...

"Your Majesty, this subordinate will definitely go through fire and water in the future, no matter how cruel he is..." Zhang Cheng immediately knelt down and his head banged on the ground.

Just like a person falling into the water, a rope suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Zhang Cheng didn't care too much and first seized the only chance to survive!

Liu Qi picked up the tea expressionlessly and took a sip with a solemn gaze.

Even though Hellgate has all its faults, the intelligence network it has built over the years is of extraordinary value!

Liu Qi wanted to leave the Black Prison Gate, but he didn't want to just leave empty-handed.

You’re here, you have to get something!

……

Linghu Shuo really managed to survive. Since that night, he left the capital overnight. His last appearance was in Wuyang City, a hundred miles away, and he completely disappeared.

Liu Qi also received a reply from the old man sharpening his knife.

The letter said that the Black Prison Gate had Linghu Shuo's handle, and there was no need to worry that he would expose Liu Qi's identity. Liu Qi was asked to stay in the capital for the time being and wait and see what happens. If anything happened, he would evacuate directly and let the sword slaves in the capital finish the work. Finishing touches.

The so-called finishing work is to silence all the wandering spirits like Zhang Cheng who have had contact with Liu Qi.

The letter also mentioned something, asking Liu Qi to find a way to get close to Shen Zhuang and pay attention to whether any strangers suddenly appeared around Shen Zhuang.

Shen Zhuang...Liu Qi suddenly thought, should he also master the elixir?

At that time Shen Zhuang said where to get the elixir.

By the way, Danyang Palace!

Liu Qi looked at the sky outside and there was still a trace of sunshine, so she thought of taking a trip to Danyang Palace.

Danyang Palace is in the west of the city, close to the edge of the city and close to the outer wall of the palace. It is said that it was the place where the alchemist refined elixirs for a certain emperor of Da Qi. Later, the emperor took the elixir and turned into alchemists. They were all stuffed into the imperial mausoleum and buried in the underground palace, and Danyang Palace was abandoned since then.

Although Danyang Palace has been abandoned, the various cauldrons and furnaces built at that time are still well preserved, so Fang Qingluan sent people to repair the place and provide it for Shenzhuang to refine elixirs.

When Liu Qi arrived outside Danyang Palace, he found a thick layer of yellow leaves piled at the gate. It seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

Then a voice came from outside the door:

"Hey, my lady, where have you been hiding?"

"Miss, come out quickly. If you don't come out, Mother Liu will tell your grandpa!"

……

Liu Qi jumped up and landed on the palace gate. He saw a slightly fat woman walking along the main hall and looking around, as if she was looking for someone.

Liu Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately saw a thin figure hiding among the stone lions outside the hall.

She jumped up and landed next to the stone lion.

She saw a pair of bright eyes looking towards her with surprise, and then she saw the surprise in her eyes turned into surprise.

"I know you, the pretty sister with the knife!"

Liu Qi's eyes softened slightly and she said softly: "Ying'er is so smart, she still remembers me."

"Who are you!" The fat woman who had just walked along the other side of the hall heard the voice here and ran back. When she saw Liu Qi, especially after catching a glimpse of the knife in Liu Qi's hand, she immediately asked nervously .

"Don't be afraid, Mother Liu, she is Grandpa's friend." Ying'er hurriedly poked her head out from Liu Qi's side and said to the fat woman.

After saying that, Ying'er turned her head and looked up at Liu Qi, blinked her eyes, and begged carefully: "Sister, Mrs. Liu is a very kind person, please don't kill her, okay?"

Am I some kind of natural born killer?

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, then she patted Ying'er's head and said softly: "Let's go, take me to see your grandpa."

"Girl." When Liu Qi led Ying'er and walked past Liu's mother, Liu's mother looked into Liu Qi's eyes for some reason and felt a chill in her back, thinking that people in the world are really so scary!

"Mother Liu was invited by grandpa to take care of me. Grandpa is busy refining elixirs every day." Ying'er held Liu Qi's hand tightly with her little hand and said nonchalantly along the way, "Grandpa said that mother Liu's family is not very rich, but regardless of whether Both the old man and the child are fat, so they must be very good at taking care of others.”

As she spoke, Ying'er looked up at Liu Qi and pouted, "Ying'er thinks it's better to look like her sister."

Mother Liu followed the two of them, and suddenly felt a black line after listening to Ying'er's words.

Liu Qi pursed her lips and remained silent.

She is the worst at this kind of talkative kid.

"We're here!" Ying'er stopped and pointed to a smaller palace in front of her. Liu Qi glanced at the chimney with white smoke on the roof, and then mobilized his energy and said in a deep voice: "Old Shen, I'm here to get the elixir as promised."

creak-

The palace door opened, and Shen Zhuang walked out slowly with a tired face. When he saw Shen Ying standing next to Liu Qi, his face changed slightly but he quickly calmed down and showed a slight smile:

"The girl came just in time."

……

The main hall was empty except for an object like a copper ball hanging in the middle. Under the copper ball was the mouth of the furnace with roiling flames.

Liu Qi and Shen Zhuang sat across from each other, sitting on a simple futon.

Shen Zhuang saw that the white and greasy skin on Liu Qi's face was not affected by the hot breath in the room at all. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "A girl at such a young age has such shocking skills, it really puts me to shame."

Liu Qi had long noticed that the exposed skin on Shen Zhuang's face and arms was red. It seemed that refining the elixir was not a good thing.

Shen Zhuang seemed to have guessed what Liu Qi was thinking, so he pointed to the copper ball in the center of the hall and said: "This is the cauldron for refining elixirs. It is made by fusing various metals with secret methods. It can lock The medicinal properties in the cauldron furnace are not dispersed, and then roasted with earth fire to stimulate the medicinal properties. Only when the right time, place and people are indispensable can a good elixir be produced!"

Shen Zhuang looked at the copper ball-shaped cauldron with bright eyes, as if he was twenty years younger. After a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "Since ancient times, the masters who have made great achievements in martial arts believe that spiritual elixirs are external forces. If you use them to increase your cultivation, It will double the difficulty of breaking through the next hurdle.”

"But they never thought that most people who practice martial arts would be lucky to be able to break through a barrier once in their lives!"

"If there is a magic pill to help, wouldn't it be a good thing to go to the next level?"

"So the Shen family's elixir has never been refined for those who are already talented and powerful in the world."

"But it's not for those ordinary people with no merit." Liu Qi said coldly, "If you can afford the Shen family's elixirs and have a huge fortune, you are probably just starting out."

The Shen family's "Three Yuan Pills" are famous all over the world, and the most famous among them is of course Guyuan Dan, which is known as one pill and a thousand pieces of gold.

Among the "Three Yuan Pills", the Shenyuan Pill is more precious than the Guyuan Pill because there are only a few pills in total, so it is generally not thought about and is not discussed by people.

Shen Zhuang smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "Girl, you are right. Most of the Shen family's pills have fallen into the hands of the powerful. How many pills can real ordinary people get?"

"Perhaps when I have fallen to this point, even God thinks that the Shen family has done something wrong."

Liu Qi shook his head: "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as rotten dogs. God will not care whether your Shen family did something right or wrong. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, you should find a way to find out the murderer of Ying'er's parents."

Liu Qi paused for a moment. Seeing that Shen Zhuang was already stunned, he continued: "Do you still remember the agreement you made with me at the Zaowang Temple outside the city? If you can find out the murderer, even if he is a prince or general, I will I will also seek justice for you with the sword in my hand!"

"What you said...are you serious?" Shen Zhuang stood up with a cry, his tone trembling.

Liu Qi looked calm and nodded slightly.

"But..." Liu Qi took out the box that had been prepared and pushed it in front of Shen Zhuang. She said without blushing or heartbeat: "There are two more elixirs here..."

……

"It turns out to be the Golden Crow Fruit. This thing can only be found in the imperial palace." Shen Zhuang's expression had already returned to normal and he was checking the elixir Liu Qi had just given.

A golden crow fruit, a hundred-year-old dragon blood grass.

Shen Zhuang thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Girl, these two elixirs are the most yang and strong things. Even if you master the elixir, it will not only be useless to you, but it may backfire on yourself."

I don’t eat it myself, so I don’t care about yin and yang when I feed it to Yue Ya!

But Liu Qi decided to listen to what Shen Zhuang had to say first.

Shen Zhuang thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Let's do this. I know that some people in the world are in urgent need of these two things. I will act as a middleman and exchange the Guyuan Pill for these two elixirs, okay?"

Guyuan Dan...

Liu Qi thought about it in her heart.

Through various understandings, Liu Qi knew that elixirs were also divided into different attributes. Sometimes, if the attributes were matched, the effect would not be reduced even if the age was not enough.

The reason why Guyuan Dan is so popular is because the main ingredient is elixirs with no properties like jade ginseng, which can be absorbed by people who practice different techniques without any hindrance.

The crescent moon in Liu Qi's hand doesn't care about its attributes, but only the measurement!

If the two elixirs could be exchanged for a elixir containing more energy, Liu Qi would naturally want it!

So the first thing to do is to ask Shen Zhuang about the level of energy contained in the Golden Crow Fruit and Dragon Blood Grass.

"If it is replaced by jade ginseng of the same age, the dragon's blood grass is considered to be a hundred-year-old jade ginseng, which can barely produce a solid yuan elixir." Shen Zhuang pointed to the golden crow fruit and added, "This golden crow fruit is already equivalent to Thousand-year-old jade ginseng is enough to refine twenty Yuan-Reinforcing Pills!"

Liu Qi, Shen Zhuang and Cao Cheng worked together to take the thousand-year-old jade ginseng from Renshan Hall, and finally Liu Qi got two elixirs.

Although Shen Zhuang did not say it clearly, it is thought that the refining method should be similar to that of Guyuan Dan.

Liu Qi has also taken the Guyuan Pill, which is much weaker than the elixir refined by Shen Zhuang, and the effect is only about one-third.

In other words, the two pills Liu Qi received at that time were equivalent to six pills of Gu Yuan.

In order to cure Shen Ying's disease, Shen Zhuang used half of the thousand-year-old jade ginseng. In fact, it shouldn't be that much, but let's count him for half. In other words, the thousand-year-old jade ginseng can refine at most twenty-four grains of solid essence. Dan!

Liu Qi made up his mind and said, "Twenty-five Yuan-Guarding Pills, I will agree!"

Shen Zhuang immediately became embarrassed and hesitated: "The Shen family only produces more than thirty Yuan-Guarding Pills a year..."

"How about this, twenty-two Yuan-Guarding Pills. I will give you ten Yuan-Guarding Pills as a deposit within one month." Shen Zhuang thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "The remaining twelve pills will be given to you on New Year's Eve at the end of the year." I left it to you before!”

Liu Qi stared at Shen Zhuang's frown, and could see that the old man was already feeling pain about this condition, which meant that he was not suffering too much.

So she nodded with a heavy look: "I agreed, but I have a condition."

"Girl, please speak."

"Some master in the world needs this Golden Crow Fruit." Liu Qi had already figured out that Shen Zhuang's goal was this Golden Crow Fruit, and the Dragon Blood Grass was incidental to it.

Shen Zhuang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied:

"Shaolin."

　I forgot which day I was due to make up for, so I’ll just wish everyone a good year.

　　Just kidding, let me first add an update chapter for the helmsman Tachibana Yorai's helmsman.

　　The rewards have been added, and there are still five chapters in total including those owed last month. Updates will be added as soon as possible! ! ! (You can be brave even if you are not straight-forward, with your hands on your hips)
