Chen Xiang has been to many worlds, large and small, and has seen many forces that mainly seek profit from elixirs. Although they are more or less evil-minded, he has never seen such people selling the lowest quality elixirs. The shop, and all the big forces in the entire fifth level of Proud World Soul River do this.
In just ten days, this matter spread to several empires, and the business of those shops suddenly dropped sharply. Many people were very angry when they learned that the pills they took were all treated as garbage.
The main thing is that they spent a lot of Ten Thousand Dao God Soil Crystals to buy it, but what they got was some garbage.
"I just don't have the strength, otherwise I would make these guys look good." Chen Xiang walked around the street, asking for all kinds of useful information.
He had asked Qin Shuang to sense the teleportation array here before, but he couldn't find it.
Although he is eager to go to the land of creation, he also understands that it is very dangerous to go to the land of creation without enough strength.
"I heard that this matter has attracted the attention of Emperor Tian'ao."
"Hmph, there were two princesses present at the scene. Even the princess was deceived. The Tian'ao God Emperor might also have done something secretly."
"No one trusts elixir shops nowadays, so how can we buy good elixirs in the future?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard for a while that a gathering of alchemists will be held in the Tian'ao Emperor's Palace to discuss this matter."
"This group of alchemists are all a den of snakes and rats. They probably gathered together to discuss how to trick us."
Chen Xiang heard some young men discussing this matter, and it could be seen from their conversations that these young men were not stupid.
"Hello, brothers!" Chen Xiang walked into the hotel, stood next to it, and said with a smile, "I see that you are talking about elixirs with great enthusiasm. I wonder if you can join me?"
Chen Xiang also held two bottles of good wine in his hands.
"Of course!" A long-faced man in red smiled and quickly asked Chen Xiang to sit down, because he had already seen that the two bottles of wine in Chen Xiang's hands were both good.
After Chen Xiang poured wine for them, he asked: "Everyone, is it possible that the strongest people here are the guys in the Imperial Palace?"
"Of course, in such an empire, the strongest people are of course the people in the imperial palace." A man sighed: "We small families need to pay tribute every year, and we also have to give gifts to various powerful people in it. , otherwise it will be difficult to survive.”
"Is the emperor the strongest in the imperial palace?" Chen Xiang asked again.
"No, in short, I heard from my grandfather that there are several powerful people in the imperial palace, and the emperor is unable to manage them."
"Isn't that right? Even his daughter has been deceived for so many years. It can be seen that the palace elixir is not the emperor's business."
"It was also this incident that exposed the emperor's power. Before, they were fighting among themselves secretly, and we could only see the flowers in the fog. Now we can see more clearly."
"So, the one who distributes the medicinal materials is no longer under the emperor's control?" Chen Xiang's eyes lit up. He felt that he could talk to the emperor, but the prerequisite was to make sure whether the emperor was as he had guessed.
After Chen Xiang chatted with these young masters for a while, he also learned a very useful piece of news, that is, those alchemists are very high-status, and some are even the bosses behind the scenes in big families, or secretly control a party's strength.
Of course, these are only those high-level alchemists, but low-level alchemists are not much worse!
Chen Xiang left the hotel and headed to Tianyin Villa.
Zhou Zhiqin had told him before that if he wanted to find them, he could go to Tianyin Villa from time to time and they might be there.
Tianyin Villa is also a hotel, but it is a manor-style hotel. Everything is very expensive, and it is aimed at middle and high-end dignitaries.
Chen Xiang had the Ten Thousand Dao God Soil Crystals, so he easily got in. He also bought a small house, and then released the Sky-eating Rats to explore the princesses.
In just half a day, he saw Zhou Zhiqin here. The place where they stayed was a medium-sized house in a very secluded location of the villa.
Chen Xiang rushed over immediately, stood at the door and knocked gently.
Zhou Zhiqin looked through a hole inside very vigilantly, and when she saw Chen Xiang's familiar face, she was pleasantly surprised.
"Chen Xiang, how did you find us?" Zhou Zhiqin quickly opened the door and let Chen Xiang in.
"This is too easy." Chen Xiang chuckled and walked in and looked around. This house was much better than his one.
The charming Zhou Zhiqi also hurriedly walked out. After seeing Chen Xiang, she smiled and said, "I thought you were far away from the Tian'ao Empire!"
"I was originally going to leave, but something suddenly occurred to me, so I decided not to leave for the time being." Chen Xiang smiled and followed Zhou Zhiqin towards a living room inside.
Chen Xiang sat down and drank tea and asked: "You just stay here, is there really no problem?"
"That's not true. Our father loves us so much. We believe he won't harm us." Zhou Zhiqin sighed: "The things involved are very complicated."
"I know, so I'm back!" Chen Xiang said with a smile: "I am an upright alchemist, so I think I should do something."
Now Zhou Zhiqin and the others believe in Chen Xiang, otherwise Chen Xiang would not be able to expose the shady story of that store.
"Then what are you going to do? Anyway, now we understand that this world is controlled by alchemists. They buy the best medicinal materials at low prices, refine the best elixirs for themselves, and then use the worst ones to The elixirs are sold at a high price, a large amount of Ten Thousand Dao God Soil Crystals are obtained, and then medicinal materials are purchased, and the cycle continues." Zhou Zhiqi said.
They were also deceived, so when they thought about it, they felt very unhappy. After all, they had been deceived for so many years.
"I don't know what to do yet." Chen Xiang thought for a while, he really didn't have a comprehensive plan. This was mainly because his power was too weak to change everything here.
"But you have done a very good job. At least many people have known the truth and will not be deceived again. This is already a great thing." Zhou Zhiqin's face was full of a smile of praise.
"I think your father is also very helpless about this kind of thing. I wonder if I can meet him and talk to him." Chen Xiang asked.
"This is no longer possible. Now his movements are subject to certain restrictions. If anyone knew that he met you, a public enemy of the elixir world, he would be in trouble." Zhou Zhiqi shook his head.
"Then it should be okay to send a message to me, right?" Chen Xiang said.
"That's no problem. What do you want to do with him?" Zhou Zhiqin nodded.
"Please help me ask if he knows about Gu Tong and a guy named Taiyang Ancestor." Chen Xiang said, "That's all for now."
