I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 70 (Please read on!)
"Could it be that Brother Shi has finished refining the alchemy furnace? It shouldn't be that fast..."

Song Jie felt somewhat suspicious.

Apart from Shi Lei, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would come to see him on purpose.

The original owner didn't have any close friends during his lifetime. After traveling through time, he only interacted with Shi Lei and Li Caiwei in private.

After thinking about it, Song Jie still couldn't figure out who would come to see him.

However, the other party just knocked on the door to visit, not attacked secretly, so I don't think he has any serious malicious intentions.

"Whatever you do, proceed with caution."

Song Jie touched several pill bottles in his arms, thought for a moment, took out the pill bottle containing the Mi Shen Pill, and poured out the Mi Shen Pill he had refined last night.

Then he put the pills in the secret pocket of his sleeve so that he could use them at any time.

He rehearsed in his mind how to quickly take out the magic pill from the secret pocket of his sleeve and activate it.

After making sure there was no problem, Song Jie walked across the yard and came to the gate.

Without rushing to open the door, he asked, "Excuse me, who is visiting?"

After a while, a man's voice was heard outside the door.

"Master Song Dan, you are at home indeed. I am Miao Dingshan, and I am visiting you unexpectedly. I hope Master Song Dan will not be offended."

Song Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the other party speak politely, but he still remained vigilant.

"What is the matter with you, Brother Miao?"

"I do have something I want to discuss with Master Song Dan. I wonder if Master Song Dan could open the door for us to go in and discuss it in detail?"

Why did he have to come in and tell me something? I feel like this person has bad intentions...

Song Jie felt a little uneasy and was considering whether to open the door.

Seeing that Song Jie had not opened the door yet, the person outside the door immediately lowered his voice and asked, "I wonder if Master Song Dan has heard of the bounty order from Black Wind Mountain?"

When Song Jie heard the other party mention the bounty order of Black Wind Mountain, his breath was held and he felt instantly furious.

This guy really has bad intentions!

Song Jie's eyes flickered and his brain was working rapidly.

The other party chose to visit in a normal way, so he should not be the cultivator from Black Wind Mountain.

If it was the robbery cultivator from Black Wind Mountain, he would have attacked me secretly on a dark and windy night.

Since the other party is not a Tribulation Cultivator from Black Wind Mountain, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the other party, after not knowing how to analyze the clues at the fight scene, suspected me.

The second possibility is that when he was fighting with Nie Yixiong's brother that day, the other party was hiding in the dark and peeping at the process of the fight.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Song Jie's eyes.

No matter which possibility it is, the guy outside the door is a potential danger.

Song Jie made a decision immediately with his mind racing.

"The bounty order from Black Wind Mountain? What do you mean, Brother Miao?"

"Master Song Dan, please open the door. Let's go in and talk in detail. It's not convenient to talk through the door.

"I have no ill intentions, Master Song Dan, please rest assured."

Song Jie sneered in his heart.

No bad intentions? I don't believe you!

After secretly complaining, Song Jie adjusted his expression, and while guarding against the other party's sudden attack, he raised his hand and slowly opened the door.

I saw a man about the same age as me standing outside the door. He had a thin face and high cheekbones, giving people a mean and cold feeling.

"Master Song Dan, you are polite!"

Miao Dingshan smiled, his slender eyes slightly raised upwards, and he clasped his hands in a salute to Song Jie.

Song Jie nodded slightly, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What does the Black Wind Mountain bounty order that Fellow Daoist Miao just mentioned mean?"

"Master Song Dan, let's talk inside."

Miao Dingshan narrowed his eyes and his smile became more intense.

"Okay, Brother Miao, please come in!"

Song Jie stepped aside and waited for Miao Dingshan to come in, then closed the door again.

Then he led Miao Dingshan to the small hall.

The two sat opposite each other at the round table in the small hall.

Miao Dingshan first looked at Song Jie's house for a few times, then smiled and said, "Master Song's residence is really nice. I guess he made a lot of spirit stones from selling pills, right?"

"Friend Miao, please get down to business. I have something important to do later."

Song Jie frowned, deliberately showing a hint of impatience.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Miao Dingshan chuckled and continued, "Master Song Dan should know about the murder case involving the headless corpse in Xinyue Market a while ago."

Hearing this, Song Jie retracted one hand into his sleeve without leaving a trace, and said calmly on the surface: "I have heard of it."

"Then I wonder if Master Song Dan has heard that the headless corpse is the younger brother of the leader of Black Wind Mountain, Nie Yixiong..."

Without waiting for Song Jie to answer, Miao Dingshan continued with a smile: "Black Wind Mountain issued a bounty order a few days ago.

“If anyone can provide effective clues, they will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones.

“If you can directly identify the murderer, you will receive a reward of one thousand spirit stones.

"And I happened to see the process of Nie Yixiong's brother being killed that day."

After hearing the other party's words so clearly, Song Jie no longer pretended to be confused.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice: "What does Fellow Daoist Miao want?"

Obviously, Miao Dingshan was the peeper hiding in the dark at that time.

And since Miao Dingshan came here specifically to discuss this matter with me, he must have some ulterior motive.

Miao Dingshan laughed and said, "I have been a timid person since I was a child, and I would never dare to go to a place like Black Wind Mountain.

“But, looking at the high reward on the bounty order, I will have trouble sleeping all night if I don’t claim it.

“That’s why I thought of discussing this with Master Song Dan.

"If Master Song is willing to give a thousand spirit stones, I am willing to keep it a secret for Master Song and pretend that I didn't see anything that day."

"Friend Miao is a straightforward person." Song Jie laughed angrily.

Good man, he actually blackmailed me.

He even asked for a thousand spirit stones. Not to mention that he didn't have so many spirit stones, even if he had a thousand spirit stones, he wouldn't be able to give it away.

Miao Dingshan looked at the anger in Song Jie's eyes, but he was not panicked. He said calmly:
“Just to remind Master Song Dan, although I am not very powerful, I have the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage.

“That day, Master Song Dan was able to defeat his opponent at the fifth level of Qi Refining with his third level of Qi Refining. I really admire him.

“I also think that I am no match for Master Song Dan, but I am still confident that I can hold out against Master Song Dan for a while.

“Master Song Dan’s house is not far from the center of the market town. If there is any sound of fighting, it will quickly attract the attention of the three major families.

"I think Master Song Dan probably doesn't want more people to know that it was you who killed Nie Yixiong's brother."

Song Jie's eyes flickered a few times, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves had already grasped the Mi Shen Pill.

"So, Fellow Daoist Miao wants Song to give you a thousand spirit stones as a hush money?"

“That’s right.” Miao Dingshan laughed again and said, “A few days ago, Baodanlou also started selling King Kong Dragon Tiger Pills to the public.

“I think he spent a lot of money to buy the formula of King Kong Dragon Tiger Pill from Master Song.

"Master Song Dan killed Nie Yixiong's brother, and he should have obtained a lot of spirit stones from him.

“Plus, Dan Master Song has become very famous during this period, and he should have earned a lot of spirit stones from selling pills.

"With Master Song Dan's wealth, a thousand spirit stones should be something he can afford."

After listening to the other party's clear and logical analysis, Song Jie began to doubt whether he really had so many spirit stones.

However, he actually only had 657 spirit stones, which was far from 1,000 spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Song Jie suddenly smiled and laughed.

“Fellow Daoist Miao has made a clear calculation. I can indeed take out a thousand spirit stones, and I can also give you a thousand spirit stones.

"However, you need to swear an oath to the heavens not to let anyone know that I killed Nie Yixiong's brother."

"Hehehe, Master Song Dan is indeed a straightforward person, it seems that I have come to the right place.

“You can ask me to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, but Master Song Dan must also swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that he will not retaliate against me afterwards.

“Of course, after I receive the spirit stones, I will not cause any more trouble to Master Song Dan.

"I wonder what Master Song Dan thinks?"

“No problem, just do as Brother Miao says.

"You make a heavenly oath first, and then I will go get the spirit stone for you."

"Okay!" Miao Dingshan laughed.

This result was all within his expectations.

He believed that as long as Song Jie was not a fool, he would definitely make such a choice.

He immediately stopped hesitating, opened his mouth, and began to recite the Heavenly Oath.

"I am Miao Dingshan, and I swear to the Heaven..."

Before Miao Dingshan had finished reciting the Heavenly Oath, a slight explosion sound suddenly came from his ears.

Before he could react, a cloud of purple dust exploded from the center of the round table and instantly spread in all directions.
