Chapter 144 Assassination
Two more months passed.

Under the cultivation of the first essence, He Qing's second essence can already emit a light like a lantern.

This means that he can break through to the middle stage of foundation establishment at any time.

Of course, He Qing would not choose this way.

Alchemy room.

He Qing put away the fire lightly.

When the furnace cover was lifted, there were several pills lying in it, one of which was obviously intact.

The low-grade Jade Huadan can be refined by itself, and the product after synthesis is naturally the top-grade Jade Huadan.

"It's time to re-sign a contract with Tiandi Pavilion." He Qing murmured.

In fact, his contract had already expired a few days ago.

It's just that He Qing was not in a hurry, but waited until the top-grade Jade Flower Pill came out.

Today, he has made an appointment with Gongsunxu to have a meal together, and then go to Tiandi Pavilion together.

According to Gongsunxu himself, the contract between him and Yang Zhi is for five years, but the conditions can be renegotiated every year and the contract can be upgraded once.

When the time came, He Qing walked out leisurely.

The two came to Shangdefang, which is the first place to eat in the whole Lihai City, and it can be regarded as a big chamber of commerce, which is distributed everywhere.

The food inside is also extremely expensive, and some of them are settled with middle-grade spirit stones.

But He Qing and Gongsun Xu didn't care about this little money either.

The private room on the third floor is elegantly decorated, with a large pear wood table in the center and white curtains fluttering gently on one side.

Through the terrace, you can have a clear view of half of Lihai Castle, and you can even see Lihai in the distance.

At this time, the waves on the sea are ups and downs, hundreds of boats are competing for the current, and thousands of sails are competing to sail.

After a while, Gongsunxu came.

Besides him, there are several other people who are all contract alchemists of Tiandi Pavilion.

And some other alchemists who have a good relationship and want to join Tiandi Pavilion.

Because on this day, Tiandi Pavilion will recruit a new batch of alchemists.

"Alchemist He."

Many people nodded when they saw He Qing.

They also agree with this young up-and-coming star.

Since He Qing has been obsessed with alchemy recently, he has also observed some people's alchemy techniques.

The only shortcoming is that I didn't go with them to the Chunhua Tower to find those female cultivators who sucked the marrow and eroded the bones.

After everyone was seated, He Qing realized that Yang Zhi hadn't come.

At the banquet, there were a lot of wine and wine, and a few female cultivators came in to play the piano and sing.

He Qing silently sipped his drink in the corner.

Until someone asked him: "Pill Master He's commission should be higher this time, young talent, I heard that he was able to refine middle-grade Jade Flower Pill a few days ago."

The other alchemists immediately looked at He Qing.

this speed
Many of them have only reached this level, or even not yet.

Gongsun Xu is also at the top of the group of alchemists in Tiandi Pavilion.

Gongsunxu turned his head to look at He Qing.

"you boy"

After saying these three words, he suddenly let out a long sigh, and drank the wine in the glass with his head raised.

"Don't compare yourself with a genius like Pill Master He, otherwise you will have nothing but sorrow."

He Qing smiled lightly and didn't say much.

Talking about such things too much can be annoying.

This kind of banquet still has to take care of the emotions of the rest of the people.

Others can say it, but you can't take the initiative to say it.

He Qing ate a mouthful of roasted fish and drank a glass of spiritual wine.

When the fish enters the mouth, it is soft and fragrant, and after one bite, the whole person is much warmer and more comfortable.

The food here deserves to be expensive for a reason, and it is really delicious.

The spirit wine is like the grape juice in the previous life, but it is more fresh and sweet, reflecting the taste of the spirit fruit itself to the extreme.

The banquet is over.

Everyone returned to the Heaven and Earth Pavilion.

Arrived in an elegant room.

Xiao Qingyu, Wang Tianhe and Xu Feng are all here.

"Pill Master He, please sit down."

Xiao Qingyu was wearing a green willow leaf gauze dress, while Xu Feng was still dressed in black.

He Qing didn't say much, but took out the jade bottle directly.

Wang Tianhe took it away and uncorked the bottle.

"Um?!"

He raised his head.

Xu Feng's face could not help but move slightly.

What surprised him was not the top-grade Jade Flower Pill, which was really nothing to him as a Tier [-] alchemist.

He was amazed at how quickly the man improved.

According to this speed, it may take less than a year or two to surpass the others and approach the third-rank alchemist.

Xiao Qingyu raised her white wrist, her big sleeve slipped off, she chuckled lightly.

"He Qing, we are about the same age, so I will call you that. Of course, you can also call me Herring in the future." Xiao Qingyu said.

Wang Tianhe, Xu Feng didn't show it on the face, but in his heart he felt that this person had great luck.

Xiao Qingyu is indeed about the same age as He Qing, but her cultivation is already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In the future, he will also be one of the strong candidates to compete for the helm of Tiandi Pavilion.

Xu Feng, a Tier [-] alchemist club, is here to invest in Xiao Qingyu.

"Naturally." He Qing also smiled.

"Since we are friends, everything is easy to talk about. If you sign a contract with me, you can add an additional clause. You can shelve the contract indefinitely at any time, and there will be no negative effects if you don't perform it. How about it?"

"Then thank you Herring."

Since the other party asked, He Qing didn't need to refuse.

"Just a little thing."

In the end, He Qing signed the contract for three years, but as stated in the contract, he could suspend the performance at any time.

This means that he has no constraints at all and can do whatever he wants.

After signing a new contract, He Qing walked out.

There are dozens of alchemists waiting outside.

Now the situation in Lihai City is very clear.

The rest of the shops are at the critical point of life and death, and what is more obvious is that the income of all the alchemists in the other alchemy shops is dropping sharply.

However, the income of alchemists in Tiandi Pavilion is increasing, almost reaching a peak.

Under such a trend, it is only natural for alchemists from other shops to leave and choose to join Tiandi Pavilion.

After signing the contract, He Qing stood on the fourth floor and looked into the distance.

Next, his primary goal is naturally to break through to the middle stage of foundation establishment.

In the middle stage of foundation establishment, it is necessary to plan the four spirits of Zixiao Shenlei.

The second is to look for traces of Zixiaozong.

But no matter what, everything will become easier when one's own cultivation base is high.

And the self is more important than external things, so it is still necessary to put cultivation in the first place.

In Tiandi Pavilion, He Qing exchanged a lot of spiritual objects.

Those money changers didn't bother to ask any more after seeing He Qing now.

And because of his behavior, it actually brought a gust of wind among the alchemists of Tiandi Pavilion.

No matter what kind of spiritual things, first exchange a lot of them.

On the other hand, He Qing was always vigilant.

It was precisely because he knew the current layout of Lihai City and saw so many alchemists waiting outside that he did so.

Tiandi Pavilion pushed those shops to a desperate situation, and it was inevitable that there would be some extreme behaviors.

This kind of thing could have happened in previous lives, not to mention this era where personal force is paramount.

Almost everyone has life on their hands.

In the evening, when all the spiritual creatures were gathered, He Qing walked out slowly with the spiritual creatures.

On the road, I suddenly met a figure in black.

"Danshi He"

He Qing raised his head and found that it was Yang Zhi.

This person used to show a cold face to him, how could he be like this today.

Yang Zhi looked at the young man in front of him.

This person once snatched the seat of his own brother Yang Yi, which made him feel resentful.

I even had the idea that Tiandi Pavilion could not see pearls.

However, just now, he learned that this person is already a second-level deacon, and he is even more capable of refining top-grade Jade Flower Pills.

It's only been a year and it's reached this point.

He felt a little sad, but it took him nearly a hundred years to get to this point.

And this person may only be in his 30s now, even younger than his nephews.

Wang Tianhe even told him not to put on airs.

Otherwise, with the promotion speed of the person in front of him, one day he will taste the bitter fruit.

When the lifeline of one person's promotion is in the hands of another, then likes and dislikes become the key.

Of course, the most important thing is that his importance is constantly decreasing.

These alchemists who have entered Tiandi Pavilion are constantly improving after training.

And he has encountered a bottleneck, almost no breakthrough.

"Congratulations to Alchemist He for his recent promotion, why don't I go and set up a table to congratulate him?" Yang Zhi forced a smile.

"Don't bother, it's just some trivial matters." He Qing waved his hand.

"Well, there is a chance to meet again in the past."

Seeing Yang Zhi's behavior, He Qing sighed inwardly.

But this is also human nature. When a person is brilliant, there are always many people who come up to make connections.

When a person is lonely, he can only feel lonely alone.

After leaving the Tiandi Pavilion, He Qing happened to see Gongsunxu and the others walking away with a smile.

They should be going to Chunhualou.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the roar of the sea waves kept coming and going.

Even the sound of sea whales calling faintly in the distant night sky.

Thousands of houses in Lihai City are lit up, and there are also big lanterns hanging on the road to illuminate the road ahead, as bright as the morning.

Although it was already night, the bustling level has not diminished at all, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road.

Many shops opened on both sides, and there were also many stalls on the side of the road, and there were people selling all kinds of things.

He Qing bought some snacks and drinks while walking.

Looking at the people coming and going around, there are many men and women talking and laughing together.

Although monks pursue longevity, they also have a lot of life.

In the final analysis, longevity is to make your life longer.

For more than a year, He Qing also felt a little tired after tightening the strings every day.

After walking, we arrived at Cuiju Lane, where there were suddenly a lot less people.

Go into the alley.

Suddenly, He Qing's mind tightened.

Whoa!
His figure turned into an electric current and disappeared instantly.

But from the shadow on one side is a thin sword sticking out.

There was a faint luster on the rapier.

Then a man in black appeared from it.

"Um?!"

The man in black paused.

He didn't seem to have thought that a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment would be so difficult to kill.

The lightning gathered not far away, and He Qing revealed his figure.

The technique of turning thunder is not only a technique of extreme speed, but also can avoid some physical attacks when turning into lightning.

Middle stage of foundation building!

The man in black missed a blow, and his figure merged into the shadows again.

He Qing didn't rush to make a move, but stood quietly and waited.

Moonlight fell from the sky, forming a black shadow behind He Qing.

In the shadow, an arm holding a thin sword rises quietly, almost turning into a black light.

But only for an instant, the dark light dissipated.

The man in black was shocked. He had rich combat experience and wanted to get back into the shadows.

However, he found that his figure seemed to be frozen, and there was a huge pressure from the world around him, making him feel as if he was mired in a quagmire.

He Qing's eyes glowed with silver light, and he pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword.

Heaven is moving!

"Why did you come to kill me?" He Qing asked softly.

"The rules of Shadow Killing will never be revealed"

Before the words fell, the head rose under the light of the sword, and blood spilled.

The Zidian sword was sheathed.

He Qing looked a little dignified.

Shadow Killer is a huge assassination organization in the Qingming Realm, and its leader is still unknown.

It's just that there are twelve chiefs and one big chief.

And his historical record even includes the assassination of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Of course, the assassin is dead, so naturally there will be no follow-up.

And why assassinate him?
He Qing has never had any enmity with anyone since he came to the Qingming Realm.

There is only one reason that can kill him, and that is Tiandi Pavilion.

"It must be Cheng Yuan, those people in Wang's Danpu, this is their desperate counterattack"

He Qing frowned, and instead of returning to his home, he returned to Tiandi Pavilion.

Inside the Chunhua Building.

Gongsunxu and the others sat in the arms of a woman.

A alchemist stretched his hand in and kneaded it twice, in exchange for a few coquettish smiles.

"Wang Alchemist" is a woman dressed in light gauze, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

The alchemist surnamed Wang just showed a wretched smile.

Suddenly, a dagger was stuck in his chest.

The woman's face was still delicate, and her whole body was lying in his arms.

"Uh"

The alchemist surnamed Wang wanted to make a sound, but with the disappearance of his strength, his body finally fell down powerlessly.

The rest of the people turned pale with fright, huge magic power exploded, and everyone used their own methods.

Or they took out the magic talisman, or took out the magic weapon, and some even fled directly.

After all, they are all foundation-building monks. Although they all rely on pills, they still have one or two means.

The woman stood up and smiled lightly.

"Goal accomplished."

"What about No. [-] and No. [-]? He should have shot faster than us. Why hasn't he come back yet?" the woman said softly.

At this time, another figure in black appeared, holding a corpse in his hand.

The man in black was burly and powerful.

"Retreat, don't worry about him, Tiandi Pavilion's reaction is not so slow."

"Okay, then let him ask for his own blessing."

The two figures disappeared.

At this moment, a huge aura covered the entire Lihai City.

He Qing was walking and suddenly stopped.

"Jindan?!"

It seems that there is no need for him to report.

'I hope Gongsunxu and the others are all right'

On the other hand, He Qing is also guessing.

Tiandi Pavilion has Jindan guarding this place, could it be that it has been prepared for a long time.

Maybe they are really forcing other shops to join hands, so as to give them a fair name and destroy them.

He thought about it carefully and thought it was very possible.

But among them, these alchemists are in a dangerous position.

'However, as far as Tiandi Pavilion is concerned, as long as those shops are destroyed, it doesn't matter if these alchemists are dead, just recruit another batch.'

Anyway, at that time, no one could compete with Tiandi Pavilion.

It's cruel.
'But this is the world of cultivating immortals'

 I had a migraine, barely coded a chapter, my head was about to explode, and I kept vomiting
