Hidden moth

Chapter 167: Old Qian is in charge and works hard

The Danding Sect is best at refining elixirs, followed by the Guanshen Sect. Chunlin Dan is the elixir of the Guanshen Sect, but it is not very popular.

It is mainly for ordinary people to take. It is mild in nature and takes effect slowly. Only long-term use combined with internal nourishment and external training can have some effect on improving the root bones to make up for the lack of qualifications.

It is extremely difficult to improve one's physical constitution. Chunlin Dan represents the highest achievement of Guanshen Sect's research in this area over the past thousand years, but the effect of taking it is still very mysterious.

Natural aptitude is an important foundation for whether one can enter the cultivation realm, but it is not the only determining factor. Some people, even if they take Chunlin Dan for a long time, ultimately cannot enter the realm, and those with true natural talent do not need to take it.

For the elders of the sect, the world is so big that they can choose successors with excellent physiques. There is no need to choose those with average physiques and then use Chunlin Pill to help improve their qualifications.

He Kao asked Lin Qingshuang to find out, but Lin Qingshuang couldn't find out who had Chunlin Dan and was willing to transfer it. Instead, she advised him that there was no need to spend a lot of money to get such a thing.

Lin Qingshuang thought He Kao was looking for it for Huang Xiaopang, and felt that the boy was very loyal. However, she had only heard of things like Chunlin Dan, but did not know how precious it was, so she asked about it.

In Lin Qingshuang's opinion, Huang Xiaopang doesn't need Chunlin Pill. It's not that he has poor innate talent, but he has suffered from acquired deficiency. Yangyuan Pill is the most suitable elixir... He Kao is really generous.

The Yang Yuan Dan was originally given to He Kao by Lin Qingshuang, and in Lin Qingshuang's eyes, Huang Xiaopang was already considered a reserved disciple. As a result, He Kao gave the Yang Yuan Dan to Huang Xiaopang, so she didn't lose out at all!
So where did these three bottles of Chunlin Pill come from? According to what Qian Guran heard, they were made by Jinlu Garden.

It is said that Jin Luyuan had always wanted to pay a large sum of money to buy Chunlin Dan in his early years, but he never succeeded. He wanted to give it to his younger brother Jin Lubo.

More than ten years ago, a senior had refined a furnace and was willing to give out a bottle with great difficulty. However, when Jinluyuan got the news and came to ask for help, it was too late and the bottle had been bought by someone else.

It would have been difficult for Jin Luyuan to collect all the spiritual medicines he needed by himself, and he did not have the skills to refine them at the time.

It was not until the Spring Festival not long ago that he broke through the fourth level of cultivation and went to the Guanshen Sect's ancestral hall to participate in the second Dharma transmission ceremony. The recipe for Chunlin Dan was also included in the inheritance.

He then requested to refine a furnace himself, fulfilling a long-cherished wish. Pijing Cave Heaven did indeed have the main ingredients needed to refine Chunlin Pill, and the Zongfa Hall could also help gather the other auxiliary herbs.

Jin Luyuan also promised that if the refining failed, he would be willing to compensate for the losses.

After breaking through the fourth level, he took action for the first time to verify his cultivation level and successfully refined a furnace of Chunlin Pills.

One furnace produces thirty-six pills, which is three bottles. One bottle belongs to the refiner Jin Luyuan, one bottle is kept by Guanshenmen, and one bottle is kept by Zongfatang.

Guan Shen Men and Zong Fa Tang both offered medicinal herbs, each taking a bottle as a treasury. This kind of treasury was definitely not for sale, but reserved for gifting according to the law of fate... and yet, today, they were all offered for a reward.

According to insiders, this is the first case after the issuance of the order to punish the communists, so all parties involved attach great importance to it.

If someone could capture Ren Zhongqing, even if he didn't need the Chunlin Pill himself, he could leave it to his descendants. If someone wanted to sell it, there would be many people willing to pay a high price to buy it.

But He Kao felt something was strange, a bit like someone giving sweet dates when he wanted candy.

Because he had just asked Lin Qingshuang to inquire about whether he could get Chunlin Dan a while ago. At that time, he didn't know the price, so he asked for three bottles.

As a result, I captured Ren Zhongqing today, and three bottles of Chunlin Dan arrived, exactly the same quantity!

He Kaoke didn't think he had the ability to make his words come true, he felt as if this was all arranged.

When he found out about the inside story of Jianghu Order, he had not heard of the reward.

Then, a master secretly instructed Ren Zhongqing to come to him, which was a trap for him. As long as Ren Zhongqing came to him, he would either be guilty of the same crime as Ren Zhongqing, or he would have to expose his cultivation and identity... There was simply no solution.

Then the bounty was offered. Could it be that another expert had noticed something, so he offered this bounty and gave He Kao what he wanted, regardless of how He Kao planned to use it.

But the prerequisite for all this is that He Kao can resolve the crisis and handle the matter.

Could it be that there was a secret rivalry among the higher-ups in the sect? As for the specific situation, He Kao couldn't confirm it, nor could he guess.

But He Kao also paid a price, he was "exposed".

In Old Qian's eyes, he had revealed his identity as "Elder Gu's secret disciple." If there were other experts secretly investigating, they would probably come to the same conclusion.

He Kao then put himself in that person's shoes and asked the clan hall not to mention his name when announcing the matter, and to attribute all the credit to Qian Guran, which seemed reasonable.

Looking back now, the three bottles of Chunlin Dan seemed to be compensation and comfort to him.

Qian Guran felt that it was difficult to claim the credit. He had just overheard the conversation between Ren Zhongqing and He Kao. Ren Zhongqing claimed to have received a divine thought, instructing him to seek help from He Kao.

Old Qian felt that the situation was very complicated and could only pretend that he didn't hear anything. He didn't even mention it at this moment. Even when Ren Zhongqing wanted to speak, he was slapped unconscious by him.

"How about we notify Deacon Wei first? You're familiar with her, and I'm just a helper, responsible for cooperating with you." Qian Guran said tentatively. He Kao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then let's notify Wei Luo first."

Wei Luo did not get lost this time. He arrived quickly and reached Guanyinshan Park half an hour later. He was wearing a very loose black windbreaker and his hair was fluffy as if it had just been washed.

She knew Qian Guran, having just met him in Caiping Township during the Spring Festival, and was surprised to see this scene.

He Kao explained what had happened and made his own request, hoping that Old Qian would take the credit. Even if the clan law hall obtained Ren Zhongqing's confession, he hoped that the part involving him would not be made public.

Wei Luo tilted his head and looked at He Kao and said, "Since you asked for this, I have no objection. After all, we should protect and take care of those who have made contributions."

He Kao: "Thank goodness you arrived in time. I'll leave this person to you for now, then."

Wei Luo seemed frightened. He took a step back and leaned against He Kao's side. "I'm just a clerk working in a company. I just rented an apartment this month. Do you want me to carry a corpse back home in the middle of the night?"

He Kao: "Corpse?"

Looking at Ren Zhongqing lying on the ground, he was actually dead at this moment.

Qian Guran looked at He Kao and then at Wei Luo, and said helplessly, "Maybe I was a little too heavy-handed just now, and I was also trying to prevent him from attacking again. I didn't control my strength well..."

Wei Luo: "Then there's no need to bother. He Kao doesn't need to make any more requests to the clan law hall. It's just that Senior Brother Qian encountered Ren Zhongqing in Qiyuan, killed him, and notified me to come and confirm it."

After Wei Luo showed up, He Kao realized he'd been overthinking it, because Ren Zhongqing had disappeared inexplicably. Without Ren Zhongqing's confession, he didn't need to explain anything and could just let Qian Guran take the credit.

In fact, Lao Qian had already taken credit on the spot because Deacon Wei confirmed the result.

He Kao had previously left Ren Zhongqing alive because he was afraid that some things could not be explained clearly. At the same time, he did not want to reveal his identity and kill someone. Besides, killing someone was easy but disposing of the body was troublesome, and he could not use the power of the hidden moth.

But the more important reason was that he wanted to use Ren Zhongqing's mouth to lead others to guess that he was Elder Gu's secret disciple, and at the same time made a request to the clan hall in an attempt not to reveal this identity.

Because there are some things He Kao cannot say himself, he can only ask Ren Zhongqing to "help" him say them.

At this moment, Ren Zhongqing died in time. He Kao was a little confused. Was it because Lao Qian was too heavy-handed, or because Wei Luo had arrived?
It seems that Lao Qian and Wei Luo have both determined that he is the secret disciple of a certain elder and have taken the initiative to help him cover up.

In their opinion, the easiest way to prevent He Kao's secret identity from being exposed is to prevent Ren Zhongqing from speaking again. Why make it so complicated?

It's a little twisted, but they mean well.

This is fine, even if there is an expert who is secretly testing, he can find out the result that He Kao wants him to know, but he fails to achieve the effect of "publicizing it widely".

It was so late, and Deacon Wei had come all the way to Guanyin Mountain Park. It was only right that He Kao should treat her to a midnight snack and take her back to avoid her getting lost again.

The adulterous couple had gone out for a late-night snack, leaving Lao Qian alone, disheveled in the night breeze. He was given the credit, and the body was also left to him. But thinking carefully, neither Xiao Kao nor Xiao Wei could really carry this thing back.

Forget it, let’s get someone to help deal with it.

In reality, He Kao hadn't been deliberately trying to embarrass Lao Qian. In Qiyuan territory, this matter could only trouble Lao Qian. He Kao had also discovered one of his shortcomings: not only was his cultivation level still low, but he also lacked the power of a gang.

Wei Luo was just an outsider working there, so it was normal that he hadn't established any influence there. But He Kao was also a sorcerer without any skills, and if he couldn't use the power of the hidden moth, he wouldn't be able to do many dirty jobs.

Qian is different. In just one year since he came to Qiyuan, he has established a gang with him as the core. The core members include Yao Shaolan and several Zhiyuanke. He owns an office and several companies of different business types.

Qian has indeed become the boss of the Shumen in the Qiyuan world.

The concept of the so-called person in charge is not publicly appointed, but is tacitly accepted by everyone.

For example, in Qiyuan, the original person in charge was Gu Yunteng. He had enough power and a group of subordinates who could help deal with many inconvenient things.

Whenever Shumen has any problems in Qiyuan, many people will come to him.

After Gu Yunteng's death, the person in charge unknowingly became Lao Qian. Lao Qian was quite impressive, not only did he become the vice president of the Tengxin Group branch, he also broke through the fourth level to become a high-level warlock.

He Kao suddenly felt a little alone, but then he thought...wasn't Old Qian actually his man? If we were to talk about power, Qian and his gang were already tacitly part of He Kao's gang.

At least in the eyes of the elders of the clan law hall, Qian had already been labeled as such, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. He Kao also had the three elders of the clan law hall behind him, and as for external support, Lin Qingshuang and Wei Luo could be counted.

He Kao thought of Huang Xiaopang again at this time. If Huang Si could start practicing and formally become Lin Qingshuang's disciple together with Meng Ya, he would also be considered a member of his gang and a core member.

I hope Xiaopang can achieve success in his training soon!
