Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

“Very well, I will definitely obtain Xu Fu’s blood sample.” He said, a resolute glint in his eyes, “but you must also guarantee that this plan will succeed!”

Black Hawk sneered, "Don't worry, my plans never fail!"
An hour later, Zhao Gao left the side hall and headed towards the imperial garden.

He was certain that Xu Fu was currently in the palace familiarizing himself with the terrain.

Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to get close to Xu Fu and obtain a blood sample.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the Imperial Garden, he suddenly felt uneasy and his heart was pounding.

"This is bad! There's danger!"

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he was about to back away when he was shocked to find that he could not move his body!
Then a sharp pain struck, and when he looked down, he saw a bloody hole in his chest!

"you"

He struggled to lift his head, trying to see the attacker's face clearly, but only caught a glimpse of a blurry figure disappearing into the distance.

"Xu Xu Fu"

He uttered his last two words and then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The blurry figure was none other than Xu Fu!

He had been concentrating his energy on the artificial hill, using his divine sense to monitor his surroundings.

When Zhao Gao stepped into the Imperial Garden, he had already noticed the other party's whereabouts.

I could sense a dangerous aura emanating from Zhao Gao!
Therefore, they launched a surprise attack without hesitation!
Kill with one blow!
This is his method of dealing with the enemy! Clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays!
"Hmph! Zhao Gao? Nothing special."

Looking at Zhao Gao, who had collapsed and died, he smiled coldly, turned around and left.

Killing Zhao Gao did not make him feel uneasy or guilty in the slightest.

In this dog-eat-dog world, it's either you die or I die!
He had no choice but to keep getting stronger in order to protect himself and those around him!

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Xu Fu did not immediately return to his residence.

Instead, he continued to patrol the palace, hoping to find useful clues.

As we passed by a side hall, we suddenly heard voices coming from inside.

"Are you sure Zhao Gao is dead?" a deep voice asked.

“It’s absolutely true! I killed him with my own hands!” another voice replied.

Xu Fu's mind stirred slightly, and he immediately stopped and pressed himself against the wall to listen carefully.

"Good! That old scoundrel Zhao Gao has finally gotten his comeuppance!" A deep voice trembled with excitement. "Now we can proceed with the next step of our plan!"

“Exactly! With Zhao Gao removed as an obstacle, our plan will surely succeed!” another voice echoed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu's heart tightened suddenly.

He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a shocking conspiracy targeting Xianyang Palace!
What's even more unsettling is that, judging from the conversation just now, this conspiracy seems to be closely related to him personally!

Thinking of this, he immediately turned and left, hurrying back to his residence.

The most important thing right now is to calmly think things through and formulate a solution!

Upon returning to his residence, Xu Fu immediately closed the doors and windows and began to contemplate deeply.

Based on the conversation I just overheard, two things can be confirmed: first, Zhao Gao is indeed dead; second, someone is plotting a conspiracy against Xianyang Palace, and this conspiracy seems to be closely related to him!
Now he must find out the details of this conspiracy and what role he plays in it.
Just as he was deep in thought, a sudden pang of heart palpitation struck him!
"This is bad! There's danger!"

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and just as he was about to take action, he was shocked to find that he could not move his entire body!

Immediately following was a sharp pain. He looked down and saw a bloody hole in his chest!

"this"

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief!

Xu Fu stared blankly at the wound on his chest, his eyes filled with shock and resentment.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He never expected to be ambushed in his own home!
He struggled to stand up, only to find that all his strength was rapidly draining away.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, his body fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The door was kicked open, and a dark figure darted in!

"Xu Fu! What's wrong with you?"

The shadowy figure cried out in surprise upon seeing Xu Fu lying on the ground and rushed forward to check on his injuries.

When he saw the bloody hole in Xu Fu's chest, a look of surprise and doubt flashed across his eyes.

"This injury was caused by sword energy?"

He reached out and checked Xu Fu's breath, his brows furrowed.

There is still a glimmer of hope!

After saying that, he quickly took out a pill from his bosom and put it into Xu Fu's mouth.

He then placed his palms against his back and used his internal energy to heal him, temporarily protecting his heart meridian.

After completing these treatments, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Who on earth is it that managed to sneak into this place undetected to carry out an assassination?"

His eyes flashed with a cold light, clearly showing his shock and anger at the matter, while also realizing the seriousness of the situation.

If Xu Fu were to perish here, all their previous plans would be in vain!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, immediately turned around and left, preparing to report the matter to Ying Zheng as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, outside Xianyang Palace.

A carriage was slowly making its way toward the city gate, driven by a middle-aged man dressed in black.

If someone looks closely, they will recognize that this person is none other than Black Hawk, who had a secret conversation with Zhao Gao earlier!
Lying inside the carriage was Xu Fu, who was unconscious!
It turns out that he was the one who assassinated Xu Fu earlier!

He launched a surprise attack on Xu Fu when he was off guard, and after succeeding, he quickly took Xu Fu away from Xianyang Palace.

At this moment, he was about to take Xu Fuyuan to another place to implement the next step of his plan!
Several hours later, the carriage left Xianyang City and arrived in the desolate suburbs.

Hidden here is a mountain villa, which is Black Hawk's stronghold!
As soon as the carriage entered the villa, someone came forward to greet it.

"Sir! You are back!"

Black Hawk silently nodded, signaling them to carry Xu Fu into the house.

He then entered the villa, went to a secret room, and placed Xu Fu on the bed.

Looking at Xu Fu, whose face was deathly pale, he gave a cold smile.

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu! You think you can rest easy by hiding in Xianyang Palace? How naive!"

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured out a black pill.

"But you can't die yet! I need your blood to complete the final ritual!"

He pried open Xu Fu's jaw and forced the pill down his throat.

The pill took effect quickly after being swallowed, and Xu Fu's pale cheeks gradually regained their color.

His fingers then trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was regaining consciousness.

Black Hawk nodded in satisfaction and got up to walk to the corner of the secret room.

There was an altar covered with a black cloth, on which were placed various strange magical artifacts and talismans.

He lifted the black cloth, revealing a white jade bottle the size of a fist.

"As long as we use Xu Fu's blood as a catalyst, we can open the gate to the fairyland!"

His eyes burned with fervent light as he carefully picked up the jade bottle.

Back at the bedside, he used a knife to cut open Xu Fu's fingertip and dripped a drop of blood into the bottle.

In an instant, ripples appeared on the jade bottle, and a strange aura emanated from it.

"Great! This is the key to paradise!"

Black Hawk cried out excitedly and quickly placed the jade bottle into the groove of the altar.

He then began chanting incantations, his hands forming hand seals as he repeatedly struck the jade bottle. (End of Chapter)
