"Si Jian, is Professor Cheng here? He can't get through on the phone."
Shen Qian asked directly.
"Teacher?" Wei Sijian was startled and then asked, "Brother Shen, are you in a hurry?"
"Well...it's still a bit." Shen Qian thought for a while and said.
"Wait a minute!"
After Wei Sijian shouted, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
Then there was a "pinging, banging, banging" sound, and along with the sound of breaking glass, Shen Qian vaguely heard someone over there exclaiming, "Senior Brother Wei has jumped off the building."
Shen Qian's mouth twitched.
…Actually, it’s not that urgent.
After the crashing and "clicking" sounds, there was another brief period of silence, and the sound of rapid footsteps sounded on the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of regular gasps.
"Teacher, teacher!"
Bang bang bang!
Wei Sijian didn't know where he was taking pictures of the metal gate, and he shouted loudly at the same time.
"Teacher, I have something important to ask you, please open the door quickly!"
"The laboratory is on fire! It's real this time, teacher..."
"Ah, teacher, I'm poisoned. Please open the door quickly. I'm going to die...I'm going to die!"
"...Cheng Shanhe, if you don't open the door, I'm going to Shulin Street to kidnap your grandson. I know he has transferred to another school!"
Boom!
There was a sound like the door falling, followed immediately by a burst of swearing and Wei Sijian's screams.
The blacksmith shop was quiet, and both Wan Ning and Gu Yunlan had twitching corners of their mouths.
...What the hell is this?
Shen Qian was also a little embarrassed. Fortunately, after Wei Sijian shouted for a while, Cheng Shanhe's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.
"Shen Qian?"
"Professor, it's me." Shen Qian came to his senses and responded quickly.
"I heard from Sijian that you were looking for me. The research on the elixir is at a critical stage, so I turned off the bracelet..." Cheng Shanhe explained.
"Did I bother you?" Shen Qian quickly apologized.
"It's a small problem. Thanks to you this time, the finished elixir of 'creation' will be available next month at the most... Hahaha, by the way, what do you want from me? And when will you come to Beiwu?" Performing duties?"
Compared with the last time they met, Cheng Shanhe was extremely enthusiastic, which made Shen Qian a little uncomfortable.
"You also know that I have to go to Junwu to report first. I may come here next month. You just said that the 'Good Fortune' elixir will be released next month?"
Shen Qian heard the important point and thought that the time was really just right.
"Well, next month is the second clinical stage, but I guess there won't be any problems."
Cheng Shanhe didn't hide anything from Shen Qian.
"That's right, Professor Cheng, I have a friend who stepped half into the mountains and seas. He suffered extremely serious injuries, and his mental core may not be able to hold on for long..."
Shen Qian briefly described Ran Feng's situation.
At this time, Gu Yunlan had already realized something, and she was excited, worried and suspicious.
She still feels that all this is not real.
Only vaguely, she felt like she had heard the name "Shen Qian" somewhere before. When she was thinking about it, Wan Ning had already opened a search page on her bracelet and handed it to Gu Yunlan.
Gu Yunlan's pupils shrank, and she finally remembered where she had seen Shen Qian's name.
But what Wan Ning showed her was not only that, but also a notice on Beiwu's official website, which roughly stated that Shen Qian, a senior alchemist, would be hired as a senior lecturer at Beiwu Pharmacy School for a period of four years.
"Now that you've spoken, it's a trivial matter. Send me your friend's detailed information, and I'll reserve a spot for him to ensure that he can get the 'Good Luck Pill' as quickly as possible!"
After hearing Shen Qian's request, Cheng Shanhe readily agreed.
"Thank you, Professor Cheng."
Shen Qian exchanged a few words with Professor Cheng, and after hanging up the phone, he heard a "plop" behind him.
"No need for this, get up."
Shen Qian motioned to Wan Ning to help Gu Yunlan up. In the end, Dao Jiu also helped, and Gu Yunlan stood up again.
"Thank you, Shen Qian, I don't know how to express it, but you saved Brother Feng, which is equivalent to saving my life, Gu Yunlan!"
Gu Yunlan's eyes were red, and now she showed some weak feminine temperament.
"Hey, I don't need to pledge myself to you, and I don't need to be a cow or a horse. If possible, can you help me build a weapon, preferably a long sword?"
Shen Qian made a joke and then said.
"Of course it's no problem. You don't have to find the materials yourself. Brother Feng and I still have some good things in our inventory over the years. It's more than enough to make a long knife."
Gu Yunlan calmed down and nodded.
Next, the two of them had another discussion, mainly about the style of the long knife and adding some details.
After everything was finalized, when Shen Qian was about to mention the fee, Gu Yunlan had already raised a finger and said, "One dollar."
Shen Qian was startled and then said with a smile: "You have to think about it, I just helped you find a channel to get the Good Fortune Pill quickly, but the pill is not free."
"This alone is better than anything else. As alchemists, what we lack is not money."
Gu Yunlan shook his head, "I charge you one yuan just to facilitate the signing of the contract. After all, there must be exchange before there can be a transaction."
Shen Qian also vaguely knew that this probably involved some principle of the alchemist... Oh, I almost forgot that he also had a professional badge.
It's just that Shen Qian doesn't like the trouble. After all, smelting weapons is an extremely tedious and laborious process, and he is too lazy to bother with it anymore.
……
It would take at least ten days to refine an A-level psychic weapon. This was still under the condition of Gu Yunlan's full strength, so after the negotiation, Shen Qian did not stay any longer. He declined Gu Yunlan's offer and took the knife with him. Jiu and Wanning left the workshop.
With the A-level psychic weapon secured, Shen Qian was in a pretty good mood, but this mood lasted a little short-lived and ended when Shen Qian just walked out of Fengyun Blacksmith Shop.
Looking at the strange young man blocking the road in front of him and his companions behind him, Shen Qian frowned.
"Who are you?" Shen Qian searched his memory and made sure that he had never seen this young man.
"Who are you?" Ye Shicong stared at Shen Qian and sneered, "If you dare to intercept me, Ye Shicong, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"I don't care what kind of onion you are, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Shen Qian didn't know where this young man's hostility came from, but he really didn't even have the desire to explore.
"He is sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued."
Shen Qian's humor was naturally insulting to Ye Shicong, and the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
However, it would be troublesome to take action in the psychic energy market, so he was not in a hurry to do so.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? If the monkey on your shoulder hadn't eavesdropped on our conversation, how could Master Gu let you in?"
A young man next to him yelled angrily.
Shen Qian frowned, "What conversation?"
"Everyone has gained the stolen goods, but you still want to quibble?"
Ye Shicong stared at the metal knife in Shen Qian's hand and said coldly.
That metal knife is Gu Yunlan's exclusive certificate. When Shen Qian gets this knife, it is equivalent to owning an A-level psychic weapon.
When he thought that Shen Qian had taken advantage of the information he had obtained, Ye Shicong could no longer suppress the jealousy in his heart.
Shen Qian's thoughts turned so fast. From the other party's few words and the information revealed to him by Emperor Monkey when he entered the inner courtyard, he already understood something.
"You have misunderstood. I can let Master Gu forge weapons for me, relying on my own ability. As for the inside story, I am too lazy to say more... Just give way."
Shen Qian said calmly.
Too lazy to say more?
Shen Qian's arrogant attitude made the teenagers furious, and they subconsciously looked at Ye Shicong.
Ye Shicong seemed to be angry and smiled, then resumed his condescending posture, and said slowly: "My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Shicong."
"So?"
Shen Qian felt that this man seemed to have some serious illness, and his patience was about to be worn out.
"I don't care if you're pretending you haven't heard my name."
Ye Shicong said leisurely, "But I will give you two choices now."
Shen Qian also smiled, "Tell me and listen."
"First, hand over the knife in your hand and the monkey on your shoulder. I can pretend that what happened today never happened."
Ye Shicong flicked the dust on his sleeves.
"I choose second." Shen Qian said directly.
"You don't even want to hear what the second option is?" Ye Shicong was stunned.
"It's just that you can do whatever you want without me. Your tone of voice is too pretentious, and I don't have the patience to listen to it anymore." Shen Qian smiled and said, "So I just tell you what I choose."
"Or... do you want to hear the choices I give you?"
Shen Qian suddenly changed his tone.
"Huh?"
Before Ye Shicong could react, Shen Qian had already shouted loudly.
"I have only one choice for you, and that is...get out!"
"You..."
Ye Shicong's face turned pale at first, and then quickly turned blue-red.
He was so ashamed and angry because just now when Shen Qian shouted loudly, he didn't know what happened to him and subconsciously took a step back.
This is a great shame.
At this moment, all the scruples in Ye Shicong's heart were gone, it was just a little more trouble, so what!
So he waved his hand, and the companions who had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time showed evil smiles and rushed towards Shen Qian. There was also a young man who showed a lewd smile, but he directly grabbed Wan Ning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom...
After a burst of chaotic sounds, dust fell all over the sky, and then the long street fell silent.
When the dust cleared and the scene in front of them was clearly visible, all the spectators fell into a state of sluggishness and astonishment, completely unaware of what had just happened.
Even the most sharp-eyed warriors only saw some dazzling afterimages.
After a few seconds, Ye Shicong swallowed and looked around.
The five partners who took action were in different positions at this time. Some were hanging on the beams, some were half-sinking into the ground, and some even fell from the sky to the street with a "bang".
I don’t know whether to live or die.
And there are two other people who are even missing.
At least there was no trace of those two people as far as the eye could see.
"You, you..."
Ye Shicong turned his eyes back again, looking intently at the big man standing in front of him at some point, and finally spat out the last two words with difficulty.
"Mountains and seas!"
Mountains and seas are not surprising. He, Ye Shicong, has seen many people in the market.
But for the first time, he faced a mountain and sea with murderous intent.
Even the toughest tough guy in the world cannot remain calm with this kind of overwhelming pressure from a distance.
Ye Shicong had a strong feeling that the mountains and seas in front of him might really kill him, just a word or even a look from the young man not far away who had not moved.
Sweat dripped from Ye Shicong's forehead. His face was pale and his body was trembling. He didn't know how much energy he spent to keep standing.
He couldn't figure out why this young man would be followed by a mountain and sea warrior.
You must know that even with his identity and status in the family, he would not be so kind.
...In fact, at the level of mountain and sea warriors, how many people are willing to be followers and bodyguards?
"Knife Nine."
Shen Qian probably felt that Ye Shicong had some background. Besides, this was the urban area of Jiangzhou, so the fight between the two would not be life-or-death.
Bang!
Dao Jiu turned around as he was told, but before leaving, he still punched randomly to teach Ye Shicong a lesson.
Ye Shicong flew away in response, and his body fell into the corner, his face turning gray and defeated.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the market!"
At the end of the long street, a group of uniformed policemen came quickly and shouted at the same time.
"Mr. Shen, you go first, I'll handle it."
Wan Ning said something to Shen Qian, and then took the initiative to meet the group of police warriors.
Although he didn't know what Wan Ning had in store, he thought it might be related to the Hundred Kings Palace, so Shen Qian did not dissuade him and left first with Dao Jiu and Emperor Hou.
Just when passing by Ye Shicong, Shen Qian suddenly stopped.
"Are you together?"
Shen Qian suddenly spoke, saying something that no one seemed to understand, "Since we are together, you should dissuade him, otherwise why would this happen?"
Shen Qian shook his head, and after leaving behind these words that left Ye Shicong confused, he and Dao Jiu quickly disappeared on the other side of the street.
Wan Ning didn't know what he said to the policemen, so he followed them away, leaving only a few policemen to help deal with the wounded.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the people around gradually dispersed.
It was only then that a man and a woman came out of the shadows on the street, looking at the direction in which Shen Qian disappeared with complex expressions.
"So you still remember me..."
Li Jiaqi murmured in a low voice.
Only then did she realize that maybe Shen Qian had seen her and Geng Qianqiu a long time ago, but he just didn't pay attention to them.
Geng Qianqiu walked over to check on the conditions of the others, and finally helped Ye Shicong up, "None of their lives are in danger, they just need to take a good rest."
"You know that person, right?"
Ye Shicong was not stupid. He had already realized something from the expressions of the two men. He stared at Geng Qianqiu.
"His last words were meant for you, right? Tell me... who is he?!"
