As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

The reason was very simple. The middle-aged man was Zheng Dexin, the fifth son of the current emperor of Qiankun Kingdom. Being a member of the royal family, he lowered his status like this. If people saw him doing this, they would definitely gossip about him.

"This cup is for the Taoist priest."

The fifth prince smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you for the support of Taoist Master Shen Ji and all the seniors over the past few years. You have arranged everything for my good brothers. Now that I have grown up and am deeply loved by my father, the throne seems to be within my grasp!"

"Fifth Prince, do not be careless. You must know that a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The more critical the moment, the more you cannot relax!"

Although the so-called Taoist Master Shen Ji spoke modestly, his face was full of pride: "Since the brothers worked together to figure out the location of the dangerous place a few years ago, and the prince spread the news through the caravan to clip the wings of the princes, the victory was already determined.

Therefore, the prince does not need to be anxious. The right way is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength in secret."

"That's what the Taoist priest taught me."

The fifth prince smiled obediently: "But that time, I also sent a lot of my most useful men to die, which really made me feel distressed for a while."

"Those who accomplish great things don't care about trivial matters. Aren't they the ones who should risk their lives for the prince?"

Taoist Master Shen Ji said with a smile: "Besides, with the assistance of our fellow disciples from the Suantian Sect, does the Fifth Prince still need to care about those ordinary people?"

"Indeed, every time I think of your sect's great magical powers and unpredictable methods, I am really terrified."

The fifth prince showed sincerity on his face: "You know, among the masters recruited by my brothers, there are also cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. The third prince is even lucky enough to have the support of a great cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But under your methods, not to mention the Qi Refining cultivators, even the so-called Foundation Establishment cultivators were eliminated without making any waves!"

"It is human nature to be blinded by greed and driven by desire."

Taoist Master Shen Ji sneered with disdain: "Back then, those great immortal sects, while saying slogans like 'acting justice on behalf of heaven', severely damaged our Suantian Sect.

But in my opinion, he just coveted my sect's miraculous divination method, so he committed such a robbery, which is really despicable!"

"What the Taoist said is absolutely right. I despise those people who talk about morality the most in my life!"

The fifth prince flattered, "If your sect had not suffered a great disaster back then, it would have been the number one sect in the cultivation world by now!"

"It's over, it's over. There are still three holy places above us."

Taoist Master Shen Ji smiled brightly: "It is just to be a new holy land, on par with the other three holy lands."

"The Taoist priest is too modest!"

"Your Highness, you are too kind!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed like villains at the same time.

After laughing for a while, Taoist Shenji got tired of laughing. Then he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, there's also that guy from the Hei family. How's he doing? Is he done with him?"

"This……"

The Fifth Prince's face suddenly darkened. Originally he had intended to target other princes, but he couldn't appear to be too deliberate, so he coaxed a lot of unlucky guys to die together, and the Hei family was one of them.

It was nothing in the first place, they just killed themselves because of their greed. Once he killed that group of merchants, no one would be able to trace it back to him, the fifth prince. After all, he had also lost a lot of his capable subordinates!

But the mistake was that there was a guy named Hei Chen in the Hei family who somehow managed to survive!

Although he heard that the person had become demented, it was still a hidden danger to him. If the other party woke up one day and told what he saw and heard inside, it would be a great disadvantage to him!

Therefore, over the years, the Fifth Prince has been secretly using tricks to make the Hei family disappear from the world forever.

only……

"The Five Colors Family supports and protects each other, like a hedgehog. It's hard for me to bite them, so I can only use this stupid method to deal with them step by step."

There was a hint of viciousness in the eyes of the fifth prince: "The Black Family and the Qing and Huang Family are not to be worried about, but the Red and White Family are more difficult to deal with. Even if I am caught by them, it will be difficult to escape."

"I can understand that."

Taoist Shenji nodded: "The Five Colors Family has a lot of connections with the Five Elements Sect, so we really need to treat it with caution."

"Hmph, Taoist priest, don't worry."

The fifth prince snorted coldly: "In three months at the latest, I will definitely solve this matter completely, and then you will have nothing to worry about!"

"It's a good thing that the prince has confidence, but..."

Taoist Master Shen Ji said leisurely, "I heard that the Hei family has a new young patriarch, and it seems that some changes are going to happen. Will there be any trouble?"

"This……"

The fifth prince frowned and said, "I don't know much about the other party yet, but I don't think he is that powerful..."

"Hehe, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle."

Taoist Master Shenji stretched out his arms from his sleeves and said with a smile: "Well, let me do the math for him."

"Thank you for your help!"

The fifth prince was overjoyed: "With the help of the Taoist priest, his miraculous skills will surely be foolproof!"

"what."

Taoist Shen Ji smiled, closed his eyes, and began to calculate with his hands. Invisible energy seemed to be entwined around his fingertips.

Seeing this move, the Fifth Prince felt both envious and fearful, and he only regretted that the person who could tell the fortune was not himself!

However, to his surprise, Taoist Shen Ji’s calculations did not seem to be going very smoothly this time?

The Fifth Prince looked at Taoist Shen Ji in confusion and found that the other party's expression changed from relaxed, to a frown, to a frown, and then... even fear?

"Taoist priest?"

The fifth prince called out to the other party cautiously.

"Hmm... let me see... oh... it's interesting... uh... no... this..."

Taoist Shenji's eyes suddenly widened, his ten fingers were instantly dislocated, an unhealthy flush appeared on his face, and then...

"puff!"

Blood gushed out of Taoist Shen Ji's mouth without mercy, spraying all over the Fifth Prince's face and spilling all over the table full of delicacies!

"Taoist Master, this is..."

The fifth prince wiped the blood off his face in confusion: "A new divination ritual?"

"What the hell is this ritual? I'm vomiting blood!"

Taoist Master Shen Ji was dying: "This boy is so terrifying, hurry up, go find my brothers and deal with him together!"

Heiyang: “?”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 70 The big city is indeed worthy of its reputation!

"WTF?"

Heiyang tilted his head, looking confused: "A strange stranger who I don't know whether he is dead or not suddenly started to attack me, and it was a long-range attack mode?"

He glanced at the alchemy furnace, added some fire to it, and then Heiyang stroked his chin and analyzed the situation randomly.

"Well, let me think about it, there are probably three possibilities.

First, Hongli paid someone to mess with me, but she should know the skills of mental breakdown, so we can rule her out as a suspect for the time being.

Second, the people at the Pharmacist Shop thought I was acting suspiciously and wanted to investigate me so they could prescribe the right remedy.

Third, someone wanted to hurt someone else, but accidentally hurt me...

Uh, no, he hurt himself by accident!

Just like when a typo is accidentally written in Death Note, Zhang Yi is accidentally written as Zhang Er, and when you want to erase it, it turns out to be Zhang San or something like that..."

Heiyang nodded thoughtfully. To sum up, he, Heiyang, had always been kind to others and a harmless young man. He must have been injured by mistake!

"But then again..."

Heiyang frowned: "Even if we didn't have a grudge before, now that the other party bumped into me and injured himself, doesn't this mean we have a grudge?!"

Heiyang's thoughts were drifting. As for the pill in the furnace, it was just a Qi-nourishing pill which was not difficult to make at all. He could refine it while walking.

In fact, to be honest, the other party took the initiative to detect Heiyang, whether it was intentional or not, it was the other party who was at fault first. After all, this behavior was almost the same as hitting a car, but there were so many unreasonable people, who knows if they would vent their anger on Heiyang.

Secretly alert in his heart, Heiyang couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, there are too many things to do in big cities. I haven't been here for long, but I feel like I'm involved in several side quests. This level of exhaustion is almost as tiring as a battle of wits and courage with Hongli."

In less than three hours, and only two hours and ten minutes, Hei Yang had used up all the herbs he brought with him and refined a total of 140 Qi-nourishing Pills.

"The quality is excellent, the pills are full and crystal clear, which means there are almost no impurities..."

Heiyang looked at the finished pill and nodded with satisfaction: "Isn't this better than the ones sold on the market?"

Of course, because it is a low-level elixir, no matter how good the quality is, it cannot be sold at a sky-high price. Heiyang always feels that the so-called channels of the Hei family are unreliable. It’s almost as if they are saying it clearly: black-hearted channels, fools come here, and they only cheat those who are destined to be cheated!

It's not that I don't trust the Hei family, but as I said, when you are strong, everyone around you seems to be well-intentioned, but when you are weak, feet that come out from nowhere want to stomp you.

If the Hei family's sales channels are really effective, then why are their herbal stores on the verge of closing down?

As for selling directly on the market, it is even more troublesome.

He has not applied for business qualifications in the formal market. If he wants to set up a stall with a piece of cloth, he needs to go to those messy and irregular places. Who knows what kind of trouble he will encounter.

and so……

"As expected, official recycling is the most reliable and saves trouble."

Heiyang walked out of the Pharmacist's Shop carrying a sack of spirit stones, and he didn't even notice any bad guys targeting him.

They walked all the way back until they met Zhang San and his friends who came to pick them up, and nothing went wrong. Heiyang was worried for a long time, only to find that he had winked at a blind man.

"Sure enough, the public security in big cities is still good."

Heiyang couldn't help but sigh, "I met an old man on the road carrying a sack of potatoes. He even lectured me that young people are too weak and can't carry as much as he can.

Sure enough, there are still many things in big cities that are worthy of praise, such as their noble quality of treating spiritual stones like potatoes..."

"Uh, that, Uncle Heiyang, is there a possibility..."

The black policeman had a complicated expression: "Do they really think you are carrying a sack of potatoes?"

Who is this contestant? He took out more than a dozen spirit stones, but came back with hundreds. Did Uncle Heiyang go to breed them?

Moreover, looking at the number, it turns out that spirit stones are also born in clutches!

No wonder! Spiritual stones don't even distinguish between male and female, so how can they give birth?

The black policeman roared in his heart, trying to force himself to calm down.

Don't blame him for being worldly-wise. When the Hei family was at its most powerful, they could probably squeeze out a few hundred spirit stones, but it wouldn't be as easy as Uncle Heiyang.

The specific number of spirit stones is seven hundred. Excluding the ones that Heiyang already has, these are purely the proceeds from selling elixirs.

The Pharmacist Workshop felt that Hei Yang's Qi-nourishing Pills were of good quality and did not lower the price, so they bought them back at the market price.

Of course, they will definitely be able to sell it at a higher price afterwards, but that is not what Heiyang needs to worry about.

"So, the plot I imagined still didn't happen!"

Heiyang sighed. He imagined that when the Pharmacist Workshop knew that he was a master alchemist, they would be astounded and not only provide him with delicious food and drink, but also accept the pills at a high price even if it meant losing money, just to get close to him or something.

Or maybe, some high-ranking old man with a white beard came out and held Heiyang's hand, wanting to take him as his apprentice or asking Heiyang to take him as his apprentice or something like that...

None of the above happened, the recycling went smoothly, and the lady in charge of reception arranged it for him with ease.

This is not bad. After all, the receptionist looks better than the old man.

But Heiyang swore that he just glanced at her normally and then turned his eyes away, and he definitely didn't have any inappropriate thoughts in his mind!

"I'll give you three hundred and I'll take the remaining four hundred. I'll multiply your wealth twenty times. Is that okay?"

Heiyang looked expressionlessly at Hei Changhong who was sitting opposite him: "At least this way we won't have to starve to death or anything like that, right?"

"Where, where..."

Hei Changhong looked at Hei Yang as if he were his ancestor, and said with respect: "You are the head of the family, and all the property in the family belongs to you. How can we have the nerve to ask for those 300 spirit stones?

If you ask me, you should take these 700 spirit stones. Look at this..."

"Don't try to get close to me!"

Hei Yang glanced at Hei Chang Hong and said, "I am not interested in leading the family to rise. You can count on the next generation. When you have money, buy more nutritious supplements for your children and try to raise a little genius. Anyway, I will not care about it."
