After a while, it was time for the stewards to gather once a month. Zhan Chen followed the stewards and gathered at Liu Manfu's place. After handing over all the elixirs to be handed over, he heard Liu Manfu say: Don't leave in a hurry.
, I have one more thing to say.
All the stewards looked at him, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Liu Manfu continued: It’s like this. It’s the end of the year again. This year we have a bumper harvest of elixirs. Excluding the part that was paid as tribute to the Holy Lady, there are still many excess elixirs. I want to send someone down the mountain to collect them.
Sell these elixirs and exchange them for some elixir seeds.
When all the stewards heard this, they all looked suddenly enlightened and began to discuss it. This was a good job. Not to mention that it would bring in a lot of oil and water. It was also refreshing to go down the mountain to get some fresh air.
Liu Manfu glanced at everyone, smiled slightly and said: Okay, I will now select a few people to go down the mountain to handle this matter. Huang Youshu, you have been working hard and fulfilling your duties, I will let you be the leader of the team going down the mountain this time.
Huang Youshu turned his head behind him, glanced at Zhan Chen with evil intentions, smiled obscenely, stepped forward, bowed and thanked Liu Manfu: "Thank you, Mr. Supervisor, for your appreciation. I will do my best to complete the task."
Zhan Chen Wang En, Li Guihua, Zhou Yongshun, you and four other people will accompany Huang Youshu down the mountain. In the past, we would go down the mountain in groups of five so that we could look after and supervise each other. Remember, everything at the bottom of the mountain is subject to Huang Youshu's instructions.
It's the supervisor. Zhan Chen bowed down along with the other three people, but he couldn't forget the look Huang Youshu looked at him just now. He was alert in his heart: No, there must be something wrong with this trip. I have to be careful.
But risks and opportunities coexist. Anyway, I broke through to the middle level of Wu Zun, and Huang Youshu can't do anything to me. As the saying goes: when soldiers come, they will be covered by water and earth. Going down the mountain now will do more harm than good to me. I can just go to the devil
Take a good walk around Luocheng to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment so that you can act accordingly in the future.
Since arriving at the Demon Sect, he has been locked in the Saintess Peak. He had long wanted to get in touch with the outside world, learn more about the situation in the areas ruled by the Demon Sect, and see if there was any way to get in touch with the sect again.
.
After leaving the hall, Huang Youshu called the other four people over alone, gathered them in a corner, and said: This time, I am your captain. You must listen to me after you come down the mountain. Do you understand?
Several other people looked at Huang Youshu with disdain on their faces. Liu Manfu's brother-in-law was always very arrogant and everyone didn't like him very much.
There was only one exception, that is, Li Guihua. This guy showed a flattering smile to Huang Youshu and asked: Leader Huang, where are we going to on this trip?
Huang Youshu was very satisfied with Li Guihua's attitude. He showed a rare smile on his stinky face and showed a few sparse yellow and black teeth. He said: "Liu Guihua, you are a sensible person. Of course, the most important thing about where we are going this time is
We have arrived at Moluo City. Without further ado, we will go down the mountain immediately.
So the group of people followed Huang Youshu, descended from Saintess Peak, and headed towards the direction of Moluo City.
Along the way, the group of people was obviously divided into three groups. Huang Youshu and Li Guihua walked at the front and chatted animatedly. Li Guihua was good at flattering others and made Huang Youshu laugh from time to time.
But Wang En and Zhou Yongshun were walking in the middle, talking to each other from time to time.
Zhan Chen, however, was at the bottom of the team. He usually focused most of his energy on alchemy and cultivation, and was not very social, so he was not familiar with any of them.
The group of people arrived at Mo Luo City. This time, Zhan Chen's state of mind changed a lot when he entered Mo Luo City again. He was able to observe everything in this huge city in detail.
The wide streets, the rows of buildings, and the bustling market all left a deep impression on him.
Of course, there is also the dark side of this city, full of violence and blood.
Here, as long as it does not affect the apparent rule of the Moluo Sect, everything is allowed. Killings are happening in those inconspicuous corners every moment.
If you look closely at the pedestrians on the road, most of them are practicing magic arts, and their eyes are full of blood and cruelty, like mad dogs that are ready to pounce on each other at any time.
Zhan Chen and his group of five people came to a tall attic called Blood Pill Pavilion and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, a female guest ran upstairs to report. After a while, the shopkeeper of Dan Pavilion came down with a cheerful face. He cupped his hands at Huang Youshu and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Manager Huang. What a distinguished guest! As soon as I see you, I
I knew there was big business happening again.
From the tone of his voice, you can tell that he has not only met Huang Youshu once or twice.
Huang Youshu also put on a rare smile and said: Shopkeeper Wu, let’s talk upstairs.
OK, please come upstairs
Everyone came to the fifth floor together, distinguished the guests of honor, and sat down.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled at Huang Youshu and said: Manager Huang, you are a big shot from Saintess Peak. How are you? What good stuff did you bring me this time?
Huang Youshu smiled slightly, took off a Qiankun bag from his waist, threw it to Shopkeeper Wu, and said: You can see for yourself.
Shopkeeper Wu took the Qiankun bag and said with a smile: Everyone, please wait a moment. I want to go to the back and estimate the price of this batch of elixirs with my guys. The distinguished guests will have a cup of tea here, listen to a little song, and have a good rest.
So he took the Qiankun bag and turned around and entered the back room. A gorgeously dressed singer walked up holding a pipa and started singing.
About half an hour later, shopkeeper Wu came out from behind with a smile and said to Huang Youshu: Manager Huang, the quality and quantity of the elixir this time are much higher than in previous years.
How much can you give me? Huang Youshu stared at him and asked, this was the question he was most concerned about.
Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a while and stretched out a slap.
You mean 50,000 high-grade Yuan stones?
good.
Too little, I don’t want to sell it. Huang Youshu’s mouth drooped even more and he shook his head.
Shopkeeper Wu was stunned and thought to himself: This Huang Youshu is not an easy talker. If I don't let him eat more, I'm afraid he might just walk away.
So he had to grit his teeth and give in, saying: Manager Huang, I can only give you 60,000 high-grade yuan stones. If you are still not satisfied, you can just not do this business.
Huang Youshu then showed a smile and said: Okay, shopkeeper Wu, who told us that we all know the ins and outs? I have done this business with you.
So the two of them paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and Huang Youshu earned 60,000 high-grade Yuanshi in the blink of an eye.
This made Zhan Chen, who had never seen so much money, feel greedy and thought to himself: Humph, this guy Huang Youshu has earned so many stones in a blink of an eye. From his conversation with that shopkeeper Wu, we can tell that,
They have traded more than once or twice, which shows how deep the oil and water in it is.
At this time, Huang Youshu said again: Shopkeeper Wu, I don't bother you about anything. Here is a list of elixir seeds. Take a look and see how many Yuan Stones are sold for.
As he spoke, he took out a long piece of paper from the Qiankun Bag, which was filled with the required seeds and quantities of various elixirs.
Shopkeeper Wu took the note and read it carefully. Finally, he said: Manager Huang, I'll give you this number. As he spoke, he held out three fingers.
Huang Youshu, a three-thousand-grade high-grade Yuanshi, asked easily.
Haha, Manager Huang, you really love to joke, it’s thirty thousand.
What are you talking about? You are running a black shop? Huang Youshu jumped up from his seat and shouted.
Shopkeeper Wu frowned and said: Manager Huang, my calculation is correct. There are a large number of elixir seeds you listed here, and there are also many seeds of seventh- and eighth-grade elixirs. You must know their value.
I don't care, I can only give you a maximum of ten thousand high-grade yuan stones. Huang Youshu called stubbornly.
Ten thousand is too dark for you. Even shopkeeper Wu, who always welcomes guests with a smile, couldn't help shouting.
The two negotiated for a while, but still to no avail, so Huang Youshu led the four of them downstairs.
Looking at his fat back, Zhan Chen sneered again: Humph, this Huang Youshu has a good plan. He received 60,000 yuan for the elixir worth 50,000 yuan; and only paid 10,000 yuan for the seeds worth 30,000 yuan. If it works,
There is a direct difference of 30,000 high-grade yuan stones. It seems that the trick of this elixir lies in the in and out of the yuan stones. Liu Manfu and Huang Youshu, the dog relatives, I don’t know how much money they made from this.
.
After that, they visited several elixir pavilions in an attempt to buy seeds, but Huang Youshu, a fat man, kept talking about the price as soon as they entered the door, causing all transactions to fail.
As the sky turned dark, everyone had to find a hotel to stay.
That night, Huang Youshu was drinking alone in his room. He was worried about two things: first, how to buy cheaper spiritual grass seeds and try to make huge profits for himself; second, of course, how to get rid of Zhan Chen.
In other words, getting rid of Zhan Chen was his primary goal. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to meet his brother-in-law alone the night before going down the mountain.
It was she who begged her brother-in-law to specially drag Zhan Chen into the procession going down the mountain, giving her a chance to kill him with her own hands.
It was a pity that there were many pedestrians on the road from Saintess' Peak to Moruo City, and there were three other stewards following them, but I had never been able to think of any good way to leave no traces.
That cheap slave in Zhanchen only has an intermediate cultivation level of Martial Lord. It would be easy for me to kill him. Unfortunately, it would be an early death if I did it on the Saintess Peak, so I sent him down the mountain. But how can I trick him into a dark place alone?
Kill him in the corner, Huang Youshu said to himself.
Normally, he only knows how to act arrogant and bossy, but when it comes to really doing mental work, he can't do it. After pondering for a whole day, he couldn't come up with anything.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and he couldn't help but yelled upset: "Who is it?"
Leader Huang, it's me, Li Guihua. I have something important to discuss with you in confidence.
However, Li Guihua and Huang Youshu recalled that this man was interested in making friends with him along the way, so they stood up and opened the door for him.
After the two of them finished the ceremony, Li Guihua looked at Huang Youshu and said with a smile: Leader Huang, I see that you look depressed, you must have something on your mind.
How can I have anything on my mind? Huang Youshu concealed it.
Li Guihua ignored his rebuttal and continued: Let me guess why Manager Huang is troubled. The first one is the seeds, and the second one is Zhan Chen.
Huang Youshu stood up suddenly, stared at Li Guihua with wide eyes, and shouted: How did you know?
