Chapter 70

That day, Xingde Jun was seriously injured, and he had to run errands to buy pills for him. It was exactly the Heart-Nourishing Pill bought from Yan Sanfei. The Heart-Nourishing Pill in this fellow's hand was quite cheap, and the effect after buying it back was also very significant. It was said to be refined by the Miaofeng Dan Sect.

Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel a burst of anger—you fellow, why come to say hello at this time? Am I very familiar with you? Don't you have any sense of the situation?

"Brother Liu, there is something I must report to Brother Liu." Although Liu Xiaolou was obviously much younger than this Yan Sanfei, he still shamelessly shouted "Brother Liu."

Liu Xiaolou was helpless, pressed his bamboo hat, and said in a low voice: "I dare not accept it, Brother, speak quickly if you have anything to say!"

Yan Sanfei said mysteriously: "Hongji Restaurant cannot be entered."

Liu Xiaolou felt a chill in his heart, made a gesture, came to a quiet place with Yan Sanfei, and asked: "You speak."

Yan Sanfei said: "It's like this, Brother Liu. Two days ago, someone came to the market to stroll around, circling Hongji Restaurant. I saw at a glance that his heart was not right, so I took the initiative to step forward and recommend the Heart-Nourishing Pill in my hand, using it as an excuse to fish for information. This person was indeed as I expected, and he had been asking about the situation of those two days in early March this year, and also asked me if there were any suspicious people entering or leaving the restaurant. Therefore, I have stayed here for these two days to inform my friends about this matter. According to what I have seen, Hongji Restaurant may have an accident. If Brother Liu has no urgent matters, it is better to avoid it for a while and change to another place to drink."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "That person, what does he look like?"

Yan Sanfei said: "His height is like this... not fat or thin, his nose bridge is relatively high... by the way, his left shoulder is slightly lower."

Liu Xiaolou confirmed that the person in Yan Sanfei's mouth was Hou Sheng of the Qingyu Sect inner sect. He also figured out one thing from this: the reason Hou Sheng targeted him was likely found out from Hongji Restaurant. After all, Wei Hongqing had used quite a few people to inquire about the Qingyu Sect blocking Taoyuan that day, and his and Wei Hongqing's actions now seemed quite ostentatious.

As for why Hou Sheng targeted Hongji Restaurant, he had to go in and find Wei Hongqing.

Liu Xiaolou arched his hands to thank him: "Thank you, Brother."

Yan Sanfei hehe said: "We are all friends, why be polite? By the way, Brother Liu, the Heart-Nourishing Pill newly refined by my Miaofeng Dan Sect has a batch of the latest boutique, the healing effect is far beyond the past, but the price has not changed. Brother Liu, do you want to prepare one on your body?"

This was the price after revealing the news. This news was indeed useful, but the price was also really expensive, requiring one spirit stone. But if you look at it from another angle, buying a Heart-Nourishing Pill for one spirit stone and getting a piece of news by the way, it is not expensive. The only problem is that this Heart-Nourishing Pill belongs to black goods of unknown origin. It is okay to use it yourself, but it is difficult to sell.

The rules of the road are like this. Liu Xiaolou did not want to break the rules, otherwise, if there was any news next time, Yan Sanfei might not provide it again. He had to endure the pain and take out a spirit stone to exchange for a Heart-Nourishing Pill.

"Is this Heart-Nourishing Pill better than the last one?" Liu Xiaolou was a little worried.

"This is natural. In fact, the alchemy path of my Miaofeng Dan Sect is definitely not inferior to those so-called prominent sects. If Brother Liu is interested, you can go to Miaofeng Mountain to see it another day." Yan Sanfei patted his chest to guarantee.

Liu Xiaolou shook his head and said: "I don't understand alchemy, and I won't understand it even if I go. In short, if it is useless, I will come to find you."

Yan Sanfei laughed: "Absolutely rest assured about this. Yan is always here, honest and fair, and will never smash his own signboard. By the way, in fact, alchemy is very easy to learn, not as complicated and difficult as the prominent sects say. If Brother Liu is interested, join our Miaofeng Dan Sect. It's just alchemy, you will learn it as soon as you learn it! I dare not say much, refining one or two spirit pills a month is not a problem. The spirit pills refined by my Miaofeng Mountain, besides the Heart-Nourishing Pill, also include Poison-Avoiding Pills, Xinxiang Pills, Tiger Bone Pills, etc..."

"Xinxiang Pills?"

"Refreshing the mind, avoiding snakes and insects, it is the most spiritual medicine for walking in the ten thousand mountains of the Southern Wilderness!"

Liu Xiaolou's family was originally refining incense, so he was very interested in this. He secretly thought that if he had time, he could go and take a look. Listening to Yan Sanfei's meaning, this Miaofeng Dan Sect should not be the kind of sect that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, but more like a rogue cultivator gang that gathers when they are together and scatters when they are not?

"Are there Foundation Establishment Pills?" he suddenly asked.

Yan Sanfei said solemnly: "This... Yan does not want to deceive Brother Liu, but my Miaofeng Dan Sect really does not have the pill formula for Foundation Establishment Pills, but the elders and fellow daoists are also studying this path. If they can achieve something, it will be a great happy event for our rogue cultivators."

Liu Xiaolou nodded: "If that can be the case, it will be the blessing of our rogue cultivators."

The two sides said goodbye. Liu Xiaolou entered Hongji Restaurant again. The proprietor recognized him at a glance, led him to a private room on the third floor, and set up wine and dishes.

Liu Xiaolou waited slowly until evening, when Wei Hongqing finally arrived.

After half a year of absence, Wei Hongqing's demeanor became more and more steady, and his cultivation seemed to be slightly higher. But Liu Xiaolou's cultivation was too low to see through, so he asked: "Has Brother Wei's cultivation greatly advanced?"

Wei Hongqing smiled: "Two months ago, I entered the sixth level of Qi Refinement."

Liu Xiaolou was very envious: "Brother Wei, so fast..."

Wei Hongqing sighed: "Prominent sects occupy cave heavens and blessed lands, and can be single-minded, which is by no means imaginable by rogue cultivators like us. Of course, as an outer sect steward, I don't actually have to be like that. The reason for the rapid improvement is also because someone is taking care of me. Xiaolou, you came here today, is there anything?"

Liu Xiaolou entered the main topic: "About the matter in March, I heard that the Qingyu Sect targeted Hongji Restaurant."

Wei Hongqing nodded and said: "They found the corpses of Lu Yuanlang's second brother and the one surnamed Zhang in a tomb passage, and returned the corpses. So Tianmu Mountain is also investigating this matter. Lu Yuanlang was like a madman, and finally investigated that on the night of March 2nd, his second brother had been to Hongji Restaurant."

Liu Xiaolou felt tight in his heart: "Is Brother Wei okay?"

Wei Hongqing smiled: "Lu Yuanlang also asked me about this, but I have a clear conscience. I stayed in the restaurant that night and didn't go out. Finally, they investigated that Lu Er and Hou Hou Guanshi Zhang left Hongji Restaurant together, and someone saw it. On this point, Sect Master Lu also personally reported it to the Qingyu Sect, so both families are investigating this matter. Xiaolou, rest assured, you have been to Hongji Restaurant, which cannot prove anything, and you do not have the ability to kill Lu Er and Hou Hou Guanshi Zhang, nor do you have the ability to enter Taoyuan, which is strictly sealed by the Qingyu Sect, so you don't have to worry."

Liu Xiaolou said: "But the Qingyu Sect has a patrol deacon, surnamed Hou. I don't know what he has found out yet, but he targeted me. Yesterday he blocked me in Wuchao Town, asked me about my whereabouts that day, and the whereabouts of Xingde Jun. This Hou Sheng saw me on Xingde Mountain. At that time, they cleared out the rogue cultivators from all over the place who were staying in Taoyuan. It was Xingde Jun who guaranteed me, and the person who handled it was the one surnamed Hou!"

Wei Hongqing was stunned and couldn't help frowning: "Is that so... This is a bit troublesome."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "How to say?"

Wei Hongqing said: "This one surnamed Hou of the Qingyu Sect has some reputation. He is an expert in investigating cases in the Qingyu Sect. If you are targeted by him, it is quite troublesome."
