From the fake emperor to the concubine

"The witch from the Tianyin Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect is too cruel. She only leaves a little energy for the guests and asks them to leave the brothel, but she doesn't care about anything else."

"The charms of the Hehuan Sect and the Tianyin Pavilion are truly well-deserved! We must tighten our belts. If we are not careful, our future training will be ruined."

Zheng Yi took a look at the corpse and couldn't help but feel touched.

This person's experience is indeed somewhat similar to his, but upon closer examination, they are quite different.

Zheng Yi possesses the Yin-Yang Mirror, and has a natural understanding of matters between men and women. He has abundant physical strength, and his essence seems to be inexhaustible, so he can use it skillfully.

But this fellow Daoist Qian in front of him, knowing full well the danger, still took the risk. He is courting his own destruction, which is extremely ridiculous.

Zheng Yi withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

At this time, the door of the rented house in the alley opened and a woman walked out.

When the onlookers saw this person, they all started to speak up: "I'm afraid that I can only trouble you, Daoist Wu, to take care of Daoist Qian's affairs.

Daoyou Wu, please accept my condolences."

This fellow Daoist Wu has already reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.

"Thank you very much."

Wu Mei had a sad look on her face. She collected the bones and returned to the courtyard where she lived.

Looking at the corpse in front of her, Wu Mei had a dazed expression and remained in a daze from day to night.

Take advantage of the night.

She threw the corpse into a dry well deep in Yunluo Alley.

She and Fellow Daoist Qian had feelings for each other in the beginning, but now, that feeling has long been worn out. After the betrayal, there is no feeling left to speak of.

……

The night is dark and the night wind is gradually rising.

Zheng Yi came to the black market again.

He walked slowly around the stalls, bought a few interesting little items, and prepared to leave.

"That person's back seems a little familiar."

One of the stall owners had a pointed face, a few long hairs on his mouth, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely wretched, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

The stall owner next to him couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Gao Lao Shu, are you still thinking about the reward offered by the disciple of Tianxuan Sword Cave?

What can you tell from just a back view?
Didn't you see that those third-rate and second-rate forces in Tiannan Market have all given up?"

"Bah bah bah!"

Gao Lao Shu showed disdain on his face. He stretched out his hand and touched the long hair on his mouth, curled his lips and said: "That's because they are not capable enough! My eyes, Gao Lao Shu, are not something that ordinary people can have, do you know?
My ancestor was a leather painter, and he was also very famous among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals."

When the other stall owners heard this, they found it even more unbelievable. If someone could master one of the hundreds of arts of cultivation to a proficient level, why would they want to make a living in the black market?
Even if they are not as strong as the strong ones and big families in the foundation-building stage, they will be treated as guests of honor.

He is a well-known figure in Tiannan Market.

……

After leaving the black market, Zheng Yi returned to the alchemy shop.

Wang Manman took the initiative to bring Wu Mei from Yunluo Lane in.

Wu Mei possesses a ghostly body and has been infected by the devil's fire for a long time. If nothing is done about it, she might be in danger of becoming possessed by a demon, and in the end she might even be burned by the devil's fire.

Not only will a lifetime of practice be ruined, but even one's life will be in danger of being saved.

In the hall, Wang Manman was gently calming Wu Mei down, "It's just a case of demonic possession, my husband is very capable.

If you stay in this shop for ten more days, you will understand our intentions over time.

Moreover, my Piaomiao Mountain King Family can also lend you a helping hand."

As Wang Manman spoke, she took out a contract.

Although she felt sorry for Wu Mei and they had some friendship in the past, she would not help her so much for no reason. Naturally, she would exchange her with other items.

Moreover.

She couldn't rashly make the decision for Zheng Yi.

Wu Mei bit her lower lip tightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

She had no other choice. After signing the contract, she had sold herself to the Piaomiao Mountain King's family, or more precisely, to Zheng Yi and his wife.

As the night deepened, Zheng Yi returned to the shop and walked into the bedroom.

The two did not have sex as usual, but Wang Manman told Zheng Yi about Wu Mei.

Zheng Yi raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Wang Manman.

Wang Manman understood her husband's thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "Wu Mei is at least at the fifth level of Qi Refining. When we were in Yunluo Alley, I tested her for a period of time and her character is trustworthy.

We should have one or two trustworthy people in our shop.

Besides, I will soon be preparing to break through to the foundation-building stage."

Wang Manman pursed her lips and looked at Zheng Yi expectantly.

Zheng Yi thought for a moment and readily agreed.

"In this case, doesn't my lady have to go back to Piaomiao Mountain?"

Zheng Yi asked.

Wang Manman nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and put her soft hands on Zheng Yi's shoulders, her face flushed, and she said shyly: "As soon as my wife left.

Since my husband is in this shop, I'm afraid he will have the energy to take care of other sisters.

Everyone in this shop, even the accountant outside, probably knows that my husband is particularly concerned about Wen Qing in the shop. "

Zheng Yi laughed.

I really didn't expect Wang Manman to be so sharp in this regard.

He did not intend to hide it and took the initiative to tell Wang Manman about Wen Qing's background.

"My husband wants to keep her. Aren't you afraid..."

Wang Manman asked worriedly.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "The elder in charge of Hongchenfang is only at the late stage of foundation building. Now your husband is also at the foundation building stage. If we really have to fight, we still have the support of the Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain and the Tianxuan Sword Sect behind the Wang family. There is nothing to worry about.

Moreover.

She is just a maid in the early stage of Qi Refining. I am interested in her mutant spiritual roots, which are somewhat useful to me. "

Zheng Yi finished his words here, and Wang Manman immediately understood and nodded slightly.

The two of them fell asleep.

After a few days, Wang Manman explained the affairs of the shop one by one, and then handed over all matters of the shop to Wu Mei. Then she left gracefully and returned to the Wang family to prepare for the foundation-building.

For Zheng Yi, breaking through the foundation-building stage is just like retracing the path he has walked before. It is like a natural process and there is no sense of tension at all.

But for most practitioners, this is a huge ordeal that is almost life-threatening.

Even though Zheng Yi left a few foundation-boosting pills for Wang Manman.

But Wang Manman only has a mid-level spiritual root after all, and the probability of failing to break through is still very high.

She also didn't want to waste the pills that Zheng Yi had spent all his resources to obtain. As a cultivator, Wang Manman had her own persistence.

On this day, Zheng Yi was sitting in the courtyard.

Wu Mei lowered her eyebrows and looked respectful. She carefully placed the account book in front of Zheng Yi and said, "Master, this is the income and expenditure of the alchemy shop in the past half month."

Zheng Yi took it, flipped through it casually, and then put it back.

“There is basically no difference.”

Zheng Yi thought to himself.

The income and expenditure of this shop is not even as much as the number of spirit stones contained in a furnace of elixirs for the foundation-building stage that he casually refined in half an hour. It's just for show.

But as the owner of an alchemy shop.

If he doesn't pay attention to the account books, over time, the people below him may easily become disloyal.

Although Zheng Yi doesn't care about these.

But I definitely don't want to be taken advantage of by the people below me.

"Well done. When Madam returns from the Wang family, if she is satisfied with you, she can refine the Jingling Pill for you." Zheng Yi said softly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mei was excited and immediately bowed down.

Zheng Yi accepted her luggage as a matter of course.

At this time, Wen Qing was squatting in a corner of the courtyard with a broom in her hand, sweeping the ground gently.

Watching Wu Mei's graceful figure gradually disappearing.

She spat inwardly: "She's just a vixen.

The same goes for the master. The mistress has only been gone for a short time, and she is already hooking up with him again."

Wen Qing secretly complained.

As for what happened in Hongchenfang, she didn't take it too seriously now.

After learning that the Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain had found a powerful backer like the Tianxuan Sword Sect.

She felt that Hongchenfang and her cheap master Qin Liang would definitely not dare to cause trouble for the time being.

If the big shot behind Hongchenfang knew about this.

If they send a manager at the Foundation Establishment stage to provoke us, I'm afraid that manager will be in big trouble.

Zheng Yi held the scroll in his hand, flipping through the alchemy notes that his men from Tiannan Market had found, which recorded a lot of experiences of second-grade alchemists.

It will be very helpful for him to become a first-grade alchemist.

After serving Zheng Yi for a while, Wen Qing returned to the shop.

Several alchemy apprentices came up to her and whispered, "Miss Wen Qing, there is a Miss Wu Mei who is in the middle stage of Qi Refining in the shop now."

"Our Wang family's third elder is already gifted, and this Miss Wu Mei also seems to have some special spiritual body. Although your blood spiritual roots and Miss Wen Qing's have their own merits, you have to seize the opportunity."

"If Miss Wen Qing continues to watch helplessly like this, she will probably miss her only chance."

Several alchemy apprentices in the shop had invested a lot of thought in Wen Qing early on, so they were naturally anxious when they saw another competitor emerging.

Normally, Wen Qing would be impatient with their nagging.

But at this moment, looking at Wu Mei busy in the shop, entertaining customers.

She also dealt with other medicinal material distributors of the Wang family, as if she was about to become another hostess of the shop. Wen Qing felt a pang of sourness in her heart.

then.

She said, “Huh.

She is just a little vixen who just arrived. My blood spirit root must be stronger than hers."

Wen Qing gritted her teeth and had already made a plan in her mind.

She felt that some things could not wait any longer.

Girls cannot be reserved all the time. They should take action when it is time to do so. There are not many opportunities to change one's destiny in life. Once an opportunity comes, one must seize it firmly.

Seeing Wen Qing's statement, several alchemy apprentices finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't want all their previous investments to go to waste.

……

at the same time.

On the black market, Gao Laoshu, with his mustache, swaggered and took down the reward posted by Tianxing Courtyard in Tiannan Market.

However, the people around saw it but were indifferent.

after all.

Many people have accepted the bounty, but so far no one has received the reward.

There were even rumors that those people didn't even get to see the true disciple of the Tianxuan Sword Sect, but were directly driven out by his personal maid Lan Lan.

Without exception, they are all counterfeits.

In the eyes of everyone, the tall mouse in front of them was no exception.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Gao Laoshu muttered to himself, cheering himself up, and then stepped into the Tianxing courtyard.

The doorman followed the rules and although he was a little impatient with Gao Laoshu, he still maintained superficial courtesy and took him to the pavilion where Lan Lan was.

Lan Lan was wearing a light blue strapless long dress. Her pretty face, without any makeup, gave Gao Laoshu a questioning look as he approached.

"How do you know who the person behind is?"

Lan Lan asked with a cold expression.

Gao Lao Shu lowered his head quickly and replied respectfully, "My ancestor was a leather painter who was one of the Tang Sect's left-handed ways among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, so I am most familiar with the charm of this back figure.

Although I am not a formal leather painter, I feel that I have some confidence, so I want to try my luck. "

talking.

Gao Laoshu knew very well that a big shot like Lan Lan in front of him would not give him too much time, so he kept changing the spells in his hands, immediately took out the image stone, and injected spiritual power into it to stimulate it.

next moment.

Previously in the black market, Zheng Yi’s back suddenly appeared in this water pavilion.

Lan Lan carefully compared the back of the man in black with the back in the portrait and was surprised to find that there were some similarities.

Her heart tightened.

His expression instantly lost its relaxed look and became solemn.

Without waiting for Gao Laoshu to reply, Lan Lan rushed to her young lady Shen Yumo without stopping.

The photo stone was activated again.

"It's him, it's him!"

Shen Yumo, who was originally sitting on a cushion and concentrating, suddenly stood up and shouted in a complicated tone.

The state of mind of the true disciple of Tianxuan Sword Sect, which was like the still water on a mountain, insoluble in all things, was also rippling at this moment.

Follow Lanlan.

Shen Yumo quickly came to the front of Gao Laoshu in the water pavilion under the pavilion.

As soon as Shen Yumo arrived, he released the crystallization period spiritual pressure slightly towards Gao Laoshu in front of him, and Gao Laoshu immediately fell to his knees.

Shen Yumo had no expression on his face. He looked down at the other person's flushed face with indifferent eyes, without any sympathy. He asked coldly, "Where did you see him?"

Gao Lao Shu quickly replied: "In the black market, the black market in Tiannanfang City."

Gao Laoshu didn't dare to hide anything.

Shen Yumo nodded and continued, "Keep waiting in the black market. If you run into this person again next time, send a message to me directly."

After saying that, Shen Yumo threw out a communication symbol.

Gao Laoshu nodded quickly.

As the crystal spiritual pressure slowly withdrew.

Gao Laoshu felt that the pressure like a mountain pressing down on him had finally subsided, and he stood up again.

You can look forward.

The Shen Yumo who looked like the Queen Mother of the West had already disappeared, leaving only the maid Lan Lan in magnolia robe standing quietly in front of him.

Lan Lan handed Gao Lao Shu a storage bag and said slowly, "This is a reward for providing clues.

If you can help my young lady find this person, you will definitely get a foundation-building pill."

Gao Laoshu was overjoyed.

Although he was not sure whether Zheng Yi would come to the black market again, he was in Tiannan Market.

He felt that there was still a chance to meet him.

"Thank you, young lady! I will do my best." (End of this chapter)
