Chapter 789 This is what I want to learn (12)

Looking at the mushy soup floating on top of the red broth in front of him, Yun Jianxian suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable nausea.

Meanwhile, Lord Mink rested his hand on his chin, intently examining the bowls of food in front of him. He then pointed to one of them and said, "This is it! This one has a bigger portion! Xiaoyun, you can't go wrong with this one!"

"Do we really have to eat this? Is it possible that we don't actually need to eat it?"

Lord Mink scoffed, put down his rice bowl, and asked helplessly, "So what do you want to learn? This is what I'm best at."

"What I want to learn is your wisdom, your methodology, your precognitive vision, and your unparalleled level of intelligence. That's what I want!"

Yun Jianxian gesticulated wildly as he made his request, eagerly expressing his thoughts, but Diaoye had no idea what the other party actually wanted.

"I don't think I have that kind of thing."

"Don't be modest! I'm just a greenhorn in front of you!"

"But that's who you are."

"That's a metaphor, a metaphor! Please, just tell me your powerful secret."

“I’m already teaching you.” Pointing to the open eyes in front of him, Lord Mink sighed, “I only know how to pick open eyes.”

"...I'll eat it!"

After discovering that Lord Diao kept emphasizing keeping his eyes open, Yun Jianxian finally decided to be a little tougher on himself.

She took a deep breath, picked up the rice bowl that the mink master had chosen, and then tilted her head back. The red soup, along with the porridge inside, rolled down her throat and into her stomach in one go. The pungent broth made her throat feel hot.

Setting the bowl aside, Yun Jianxian roared, his eyes red, "And then what? How am I supposed to begin?"

"Um, you don't need to drink the red soup."

That's not the point!

Just as Yun Jianxian was about to lose her temper, she saw Diao Ye look towards the alley to the side, his gaze suddenly becoming serious.

She stood up and walked into the alley. A few breaths later, the sounds of chasing and cursing rang out, interspersed with the suppressed cries of pain from the mink master.

Hearing the commotion, Yun Jianxian was about to get up when he heard the stall owner say softly, "It's alright, let her go."

"boss……"

The chubby owner casually picked up a large ladle, filled Yun Jianxian's bowl with soup, and said, "Little girl, this is on you. Have another bowl."

"No, thank you, I don't like it..."

"Don't worry, it's hot water. I can tell you're from a well-to-do family, so it's normal that you're not used to it. But I suggest you get used to it, otherwise it'll be difficult later."

Yun Jianxian remembered his eleven-figure debt and knew that what the boss said was true.

With Lin Yuan around, those debt collectors dare not act recklessly.

But the debt won't disappear, and the interest will continue to accumulate. Once the big boss leaves, then you're finished.

Quietly sipping her hot water, Yun Jianxian finished her bowl before noticing that Diao Ye was kicking a boy over. With her final kick, the boy was sent flying like a ball, landing beside the stall.

Walking up to the short boy, Mink rummaged through his body and pulled out a small bottle of potion.

Standing on the back of the small figure, Lord Mink faced Immortal Yun and asked earnestly, "Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it."

"It's muscle-building toner. If I ever see this again, I'll beat up both the person who bought it and the person who sold it."

"What's the use of this thing?"

"Burning your own blood and qi in a short period of time will thicken your muscles and cause your blood and qi to surge. Your whole body will swell up a lot within a few days, making you look strong and powerful, and your cultivation level will also skyrocket."

"That sounds alright."

"The side effect is that you have to keep getting injections. At first, it's one injection every seven days, then five days, three days, and finally every day. Eventually, your blood vessels will harden, and the flow of blood will be excruciating, so you have to keep taking painkillers. But painkillers are harmful to the body, so you also need to buy life-sustaining pills. By the time you get to the point where you need life-sustaining pills, your body has already collapsed, and you have to switch to something else."

Looking at the translucent liquid, Yun Jianxian asked in confusion, "Why are you stabbing this thing?"

"Of course this stuff can lift us out of poverty!" the little boy under the mink's foot shouted excitedly. "Mink, don't stop me! I'm going to defy fate! I'm going to be a superior person! This is the Chu family's latest product. The side effects have been reduced to 30% of the original. If you don't get the injections for a long time, you'll only slowly drop in cultivation level, but you won't die! And the Chu family is very generous. They said they'll help me get four rounds of injections, all for free! Afterwards, they'll even ask me to be the spokesperson for their muscle-building tonic, so I can be rich too!"

"You must have signed an agreement that you must report your condition regularly after the injection, or you will have to pay a fine, right?"

The little boy stubbornly turned his head away, but the expression on his face showed that what the old man said was right.

Pinching the boy's face, Mink said coldly, "Isn't 'new goods' just a test subject? They've chosen you to be their test subject. And they don't have to pay you. They'll just dump you on the roadside when you die. They don't even have to pay for your life."

The boy turned pale, but still stubbornly insisted, "But they said the existing side effects have been reduced to 30%..."

"Still bringing up the 30% figure. They all say it's an existing side effect, but they haven't mentioned a single new side effect. Only a fool like you would fall for that. Look at the old folks here, who would believe this stuff?"

After examining the boy's tattered jade slip, Lord Diao found the contract and sneered, "Sure enough, he avoided the important points and talked a lot of nonsense without mentioning anything useful. He hooked you with just the word 'free.' Young man, you're really too young. You don't understand anything."

The stall owner chuckled and said to the mud-covered boy, "That's right, but you're lucky to have met Master Mink. If it were anyone else, no one would even glance at you when you died, and no one would come to collect your corpse even if it rotted into water."

"But I signed a contract, and the Star Lord is my witness," the boy cried. "What can I do? I don't want to end up like that!"

"No problem!" Lord Mink said firmly. "Don't go looking for them now. Just delete the contract and that's it. They were going to pay you for using you as a test subject, but they were greedy and didn't write it down, so you don't need to worry about them."

"But Star Lord..."

Lord Mink scoffed, "It costs money to have the Star Lord as a witness. Your life isn't even worth that price. The costs and benefits are there; you can calculate it in a moment. Go back and forget about it. If you want to make money, go sell your kidneys."

Releasing his foot, the mink gave the boy a hard kick in the butt, earning him the retort, "If you're this fierce, no one will marry you in the future!"
Clutching her swollen buttocks, she ran away, the boy shouting "Thank you" from afar before disappearing without a trace.

With a "tsk" sound, Lord Diao was about to continue eating when Yun Jianxian suddenly grabbed him.

Her eyes lit up as she stared intently at the mink and asked seriously, "This is it! This is what I want to learn!"
