Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 677: A loud drum needs no heavy hammer
Zeng Sanming said that he had a close relationship with the merchants who dealt in medicinal materials and that it was impossible for them to deceive him. The only explanation was that the information those merchants received was also false.

If only one family did this, it would be possible to suspect that Zeng Sanming was fooled, but what if several families did the same? Then it was unlikely that they were targeting Zeng Sanming. After all, Zeng Sanming was just an insignificant mink with a shallow background and a low reputation. Why would they target him?

"Master Yang, do you think someone is deliberately spreading false information to confuse the outside world?"

"Who do you think it could be?"

"It must have been done by Qingchi and Yanshan! I saw it clearly from the stands at the time. Apart from the two alchemists who were neither anxious nor surprised after seeing the Resentment Eliminating Pill, the other alchemists took a long time to think before they started to act.

They must have known in advance what the first round of pills would be."

Yang Qian heard this but did not answer.

It's not that Yang Qian didn't agree with Zeng Sanming's judgment. On the contrary, he agreed with the speculation that the alchemists of Qingchi and Yanshan were cheated because they were missed in advance. But he didn't agree with Zeng Sanming's statement that the false news was also spread by these two.

It’s not that Qingchi and Yanshan can’t do this, but there are people who are more suspicious than them.

Who?
Qingtian City.

Yang Qian told Zeng Sanming his guess. Zeng Sanming's eyes widened and he shook his head. "Master Yang, this is impossible. Qingtian City is in competition with other families. And for many years, it has been suppressed by Qingchi and Yanshan. This time, I finally got your help, but why are you trying to trip me up? This doesn't make sense!"

"They spread fake news, and then assigned me an alchemy furnace with erratic earth fire that couldn't be used. At the same time, I was surrounded by alchemists from Qingchi and Yanshan. Later, they even directly rejected my request to change the alchemy furnace. Do you still think it's impossible after adding all these together?
Nothing is impossible. The output of Qingtian City is not anyone's private property. If you were in this situation and could use this to gain greater benefits for yourself, what would you choose?
In the final analysis, we are probably just a pawn, and we will be slaughtered by others if we are still on the training ground."

"Master Yang, what you said is scary!"

Zeng Sanming was indeed shocked by Yang Qian's statement. Although he did not agree with Yang Qian's speculation rationally, the evidence Yang Qian brought out made it impossible for him to refute and all proved Yang Qian's speculation.

In fact, Yang Qian had already said it in a rather obscure way. He did not directly say: Li Xianjun of Qingtian City betrayed Qingtianhai, and colluded with Qingchi and Yanshan to dig into Qingtianhai's corners for many years.

"If that's the case, Master Yang, by making such a big scene, wouldn't you have offended Immortal Li, Qingchi, and Yanshan?"

As the saying goes, to cut off someone's wealth is like killing their parents. Zeng Sanming is naturally clear about this truth. He thought to himself, could the "opportunity" Yang Qian mentioned be these troubles?

"Originally, it would have offended all three parties, just as you said. But now there is a turning point.

Do you know He Yu Xian Jun?"

Zeng Sanming nodded quickly and said, "Crane Feather Immortal Lord? I know that he is the third disciple of Xiaode Immortal Lord. I am a September Crane."

"He Yu Xian Zun is here. It seems that he is here to see the result of this Dan Bi. That's why I can attack freely in the second round without being restricted. Otherwise, do you think I can stand to the end with Qingtian City's tactics?"

"So what are you going to do, Master Yang?"

"What should I do? Haha, the matter of Qingtian Sea has nothing to do with me. This time, by chance, because of the relationship between Heyu Xianjun, my transaction with Qingtian City has been upgraded, and the rewards will be selected in Qingtian Sea. How about it? Do you want to go with me? Or find a place to wait for me to come back?"

Zeng Sanming said with a smile, "Master Yang, you are joking. How can a mere little demon be qualified to follow you to Qingtian Sea to gain experience? How about I go back to Zhongnan City and wait for Master Yang?"

Yang Qian thought about it. Since Zeng Sanming was unwilling to go to Qingtian Sea, he would not force him. He nodded and said, "Okay. You go to Zhongnan City and wait for me. I will find you after I come back from Qingtian Sea. Then you can take me around the Middle Domain." After the discussion, Yang Qian went into seclusion to practice, and continued to use "Zhao Lingguan's Physical Auxiliary Cultivation Method" to dig into the corners of heaven and earth, and to get a lot of the power of creation to continuously enhance his physical body.

A month passed quickly. Yang Qian did gain a lot of benefits from the "Zhao Lingguan's Physical Auxiliary Cultivation Method". However, he still could not reach the level of deducing the next "Immortal Sutra". On the contrary, the continuous improvement of his physical body made him absorb the immortal spirit energy at a continuously rapid speed, and his cultivation also progressed rapidly without him noticing.

When he met Heyu Xianjun again, he was already waiting for him.

"Are you ready?"

"The little demon is ready."

"Let's go then."

He Yuxianjun took out a star shuttle and took Yang Qian in, then immediately moved away, leaving behind a group of demons and fairies from Qingtian City who bowed and said goodbye.

"Master." Sui Wang stood behind and watched the shuttle disappear into the void, feeling uneasy. In the past month, He Yu Xianjun has investigated a lot of things in Qingtian City. No one dares to say that it is perfect.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Xiong Li shook his head and interrupted his apprentice's words. He withdrew his eyes from the direction where the shuttle disappeared, then sighed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the Star Shuttle, Yang Qian looked at He Yu beside him in confusion. After several major shifts, Yang Qian found that he was not far from Qingtian City, but still in the void near Qingtian City.

"Yang Qian, I have a few questions for you. If you want a better reward, then tell me everything. Do you understand?"

Although He Yu's expression was still as kind as ever, Yang Qian clearly felt a pressure coming from him.

"I understand. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."

He Yu nodded and continued, "Then tell me in detail what happened before you were recruited by Li Xianjun to participate in the Danbi. Don't leave anything out and don't talk nonsense. Do you understand?"

Yang Qian's heart moved, and he realized that the other party might have suspected the Immortal Lord Li. He must have found something in Qingtian City in the past month.

So Yang Qian began to tell in detail how he was noticed by Qingtian City, how he participated in the Danbi, and what he experienced before and after the Danbi started.

"So you were recruited only two months before Danby started?"

"Yes, Immortal Lord."

"And when you wanted to replace the alchemy furnace with one that could use earth fire after the first round, you were rejected?"

"Yes."

It is said that a loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. Yang Qian's words and answer have already formed a definite answer in He Yu's mind.
