"You...you kid, don't be arrogant as soon as you succeed! Today in the palace, you not only offended the four major sects of the earth, but also dared to ignore the envoys of the temple. In the entire Song Dynasty, who dares to help you make elixirs?"
Li Donghu was so angry that he almost jumped up. Of course, with his self-control, he couldn't make such a threat, but it was clearly Wu Ming who wanted something from him, but he still pretended to beg me quickly, which made him feel unhappy.

"If Mr. Donghu doesn't want to help, I won't force him!"
Old God Wu Ming picked up the tea cup.
Jia Zhengjing's fat face twitched, and he almost spit out the tea. Looking at the entire capital, and even the Song Dynasty, Wu Ming was the only one who dared to treat Li Donghu like this, and serve tea as a farewell to the guests even if they disagreed with him.
Although these days, blacksmiths and medicine sellers are all auxiliary occupations, and their status is not very high, but people are always suffering from three diseases and five calamities, and they may ask for help at any time, so they are always polite.
After all, this is a world where force rules the roost. Even if there are laws to support the power structure, fists still speak for themselves.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait!"
Li Donghu was so angry that he stood up and walked to the door. He felt something was wrong. When he looked back, he realized that his usually well-behaved and lovable disciple was motionless.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you just follow your master?"
Li Donghu, who had always put on no airs and treated others casually, now showed the airs of a strict teacher and scolded him firmly.
"Master, the prince has a destiny, and the disciples dare not disobey him!"
Chai Wei said timidly.
I have to say that the shy little girl who was afraid of everyone back then is now called a big girl. She is usually well-behaved and obedient, and has good cooking skills. She is doted on by Li Donghu.
But the current situation almost made Li Donghu so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, but he still had nowhere to vent his anger.
After all, Chai Wei followed his instructions and informed him first of Wu Ming's whereabouts, fulfilling his duty as a disciple. Now that Wu Ming has returned, as a member of the royal family, he naturally has to stay and obey his orders.
"Xiao Chai Wei has grown up and has studied abroad for many years. As the saying goes, great teachers make great disciples. I guess I must have learned some of Mr. Donghu's skills.
This king has gained a lot from this trip, and it’s just time for Xiao Chai Wei to practice her skills. It’s time for her to contribute to the government!”
Wu Ming said calmly.
"I……"
After hearing this, Li Donghu couldn't say a word and walked back to his original position and sat down dejectedly.
"Master, don't be angry. The treasure in the hands of the prince must be extraordinary. How can I dare to take over it easily? I still need you to do it!"
Chai Wei obediently served tea and flattered him.
"Hmph!"
Li Donghu drank a cup of tea and said nothing with a tigerish face.
"Mr. Donghu, please don't tell secrets. I am also very greedy for these treasures of the prince. If you don't want to take over, they all belong to me, Guangyuanzhai!"
Jia Zhengjing fell into the trap.
"You profiteer, you're so cruel, I'll make elixirs for you for free, right?"
Li Donghu's heart skipped a beat and he surrendered helplessly.
In fact, the reason why he put on that posture at the beginning was that he really wanted to help refine elixirs. However, since he got acquainted with Wu Ming, in addition to refining elixirs for free, he also took apprentices for free. Now that he has learned that Wu Ming has obtained a large number of precious elixirs, he certainly is not
I don't want to gain any benefits, but I really want to use this batch of elixirs to hone my alchemy skills.
Although he has extraordinary talents and is almost a master of medicine, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without a lot of elixirs to practice, it is naturally impossible to be good at alchemy.
So when he saw Jia Zhengjing coming to his door, Li Donghu made up his mind, even if he used threats, he had to take possession of all the elixirs first. This is how the previous scene happened.
Whoever thought it was, Wu Ming had already seen through it, and even his own apprentice became a little traitor!
"Haha, I feel very sorry to trouble Mr. Donghu from time to time!"
Wu Ming put down his tea cup with a faint smile, and when he saw Li Donghu looking angrily, as if he was saying that you don't have to take advantage of him, he bowed his hands and said, "Are you sure that what you heard is what I really got?"
"What...hiss!"
Li Donghu's pupils shrank, he took a breath, almost shouted out what he heard, drank another cup of tea, suppressed the trembling in his heart, calmed down and said, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"To be honest, Mr. Donghu, this matter is of great importance. Millennium-old elixirs are rare in the world. With your current skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to make elixirs with this method in a short time!"
From the fact that Wu Fu's arm did not recover, Wu Ming knew that the Blood Yang Golden Flower still had not become an elixir. In other words, Li Donghu must not have reached the level of an alchemy master.
At such a level, it would feel distressing to hand over a precious medicine that was more than five hundred years old to him. After all, there is a failure rate in alchemy, let alone the accumulation of experience in practicing.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he made up his mind that he would never allow the other party to ask for it, even for a penny.
"Can't we discuss it?"
Li Donghu said cautiously.
Chai Wei couldn't bear to see his master, who was usually extremely arrogant and even flattered by princes and nobles, couldn't bear it. He wanted to speak several times, but Hong Lian stopped him with his eyes.
Today's Honglian is not as good as before. Although the sisters and brothers in the house are kind, but when they are strict, it is like denying one's relatives. Sometimes even Wu Ming can't control it. After all, it is his rules, and Honglian just acts strictly according to them.
.
"Mr. Donghu, you can rest assured that even if this batch of elixirs is given to you at a discount, it is far beyond imagination!"
Wu Ming's confident words made Li Donghu feel reassured, and he drank tea with a sigh of relief.
"Brother, please stop showing off. Now it has been spread that you have a great treasure. Youxialing and the others are the biggest winner."
Jia Zhengjing's eyes flashed with worry and he said seriously.
"This batch of elixirs is extremely precious and numerous. There are definitely not a few people who are targeting it, so I will take half of it and ask Mr. Donghu to refine the elixirs needed. There are not enough elixirs to make a prescription or the elixirs required for the prescriptions are insufficient.
It's up to you to make up for the medicine.
After the work is completed, Mr. Donghu will get 10%, you will get 20%, 30% will be sold by Guangyuanzhai to the public, and the remaining will be reserved for the expenses of the mansion."
Wu Ming was also unambiguous. As he spoke, he took out a file and gave it to the two of them for review.
"so much?"
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Donghu still took a breath after reading it before showing it to Jia Zhengjing to check.
"You are really... so bold!"
After looking at it, Jia Zhengjing let out a long breath.
Based on his intelligence sources, he had known what happened in the side hall for a long time. Wu Ming's findings were not surprising, but compared with these, there was still a big gap.
They didn't know that although Yang, Wang and others had gained a lot together, Shen Xiaolan and Qing Gu had also gained a lot. Even Mo Zangfeng had given most of his gains to Wu Ming.
Not to mention, there is free labor - Li Li!
Even Yang Wang didn't know about this matter. It's not that he couldn't believe it, but the less he knew, the better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Li Li rip off several extremely precious and rare thousand-year-old souls in the end.
medicine.
In other words, if a little bit of news gets out, it will definitely prove that Wu Ming is guilty of secretly hiding the Youxia Ridge treasure!
Li Donghu is completely relieved, even more than he expected before. With this batch of elixirs in hand, it is enough for him to attack the master of alchemy!
After discussing the specific details, Li Donghu stood up and left, satisfied.
"Here!"
Wu Ming threw out a jade box.
"Is this a strange beast?"
Opening the jade box, there were two jade-like blood beads inside. Jia Zhengjing could see the root of it at a glance.
"Yes, it comes from a demon-level blood rat king, and it has the magical power of rat eyes."
Wu Mingdao.
"As expected of a brother, remember how good your brother is!"
Jia Zhengjing happily returned the jade box and said with regret, "If I had obtained it a few years earlier, with the help of this treasure, my money eye skills would definitely have improved to a higher level. Unfortunately, I am now a genius.
The secret technique has been completed and cannot be changed.
When the Blood Yang Golden Pill is refined, give this treasure to that little guy in Qingzhu, he has the Secret Bone of Spiritual Eyes, and this treasure is just right for him."
"oh!"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up and he had no doubts.
"You have offended the Hunyuan Sect and other four major earth-level sects this time, so be more careful!"
After chatting for a few words, Jia Zhengjing changed the topic and said seriously.
"I know they won't let it go. For those in power, even if they do something wrong, they will stick to it!"
Wu Ming had already expected this.
"They can't deal with you for now, but they might be able to deal with you if you mess around!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to take it to heart, Jia Zhengjing said in a serious tone.
Snap!
Wu Ming's wrist trembled slightly, and the teacup shattered into pieces.
After returning from their trip to Youxia Ridge for several months, Hu Lai and other young men, half of them went to the border town army and half to the sect, so naturally they did not meet him at the mansion.
And Wu Ming got 50% of the treasure, which was an astonishing amount, enough to arouse the greed of the great master. He was not afraid of being robbed in the capital, but Hu Lai and others were in the sect, and it was difficult for these sects to exert pressure through Hu Lai and other minors.
This possibility is not impossible, and it is very certain. Even if he has not seen the faces of An Ruyu and others, Wu Ming is very clear that the shamelessness of these high-ranking people is far beyond ordinary imagination.
Jia Zhengjing didn't say anything more. After drinking the tea in the cup, he stood up and left. He knew very well that with Wu Ming's intelligence, he would make the right choice.
Little does he know, what a shocking price this choice will pay!
"Master!"
Honglian said worriedly.
"Get the files ready!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and said calmly.
"Your injuries..."
Honglian was about to say something but stopped, so she had no choice but to return to Nestlé.
That night, Wu Ming didn't rest for a moment and plunged into a mountain of files. It wasn't until midnight that he briefly browsed through all the events that had happened in the past few months.
Generally speaking, the two most important things to him were Zhongxiao's whereabouts and the arrangements he made when he left. Fortunately, there were no major mistakes.
However, the number of people who successfully passed the sect's test was still far lower than Wu Ming's estimate. Only one-third of half entered the sect. In other words, only a dozen or so people.
"It seems that the xenophobia among the sects has been underestimated. Hu Lai and the others all have the obvious mark of the palace. Not all sects are willing to be involved with the palace of Wu."
Wu Ming glanced at the names of several human-level sects, and they were not eye-catching. Only two people entered the earth-level sects, and the rest all went to the military after being unsuccessful.
What surprised him was that as many as seven prisoners were secretly rescued by Sun Shanwu and others!
