Chapter 3244

"Outside our city, besides me, there are many, many alchemists. Some even have higher cultivation bases than I do. Why must you find me?"

Wu Feng frowned, staring at the woman, and asked.

Xiao Meiniang smiled and said charmingly, "Little one, it's very simple. Because according to my investigation, at least in the outskirts of the city, your alchemy skills are second to none. I have to say, you have talent in this area."

"Of course, if we were to look inside the city, there would definitely be people more suitable than you, but they live inside the city, and I cannot command them so easily."

The woman told the truth.

Wu Feng said with dissatisfaction, "So, in your mind, am I someone who can be kneaded so easily by you?"

"Yes."

Xiao Meiniang said coldly, "Little one, the cultivation world is just this cruel. You are useful to me, so naturally, I need you to help me do things. You can refuse, but then you will die."

As she spoke, those ice blades began to stir. Judging by the posture, in the next moment, Wu Feng would be killed instantly.

Wu Feng tried once again to restore his true cultivation base, but unfortunately, as soon as he tried, he was repelled by the laws of heaven and earth. Inside his body, it was a mess. Not only did he fail to recover, but his combat power dropped to the lowest level, making him even less of a match for this woman.

"Damn it, what on earth is going on with this world? Why am I being suppressed so tightly? How on earth can I get out of this world?"

Wu Feng thought secretly in his heart.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you've said so, I agree. But once I finish refining this batch of pills, I need to send them to the shopkeeper."

Wu Feng said with annoyance.

Seeing that Wu Feng had agreed, Xiao Meiniang returned to her previous charming posture, put away the ice blades, and tossed him a pill.

This pill looked like a bug in appearance, wrapped in a very fierce aura, feeling as if it were alive, which made Wu Feng feel very uncomfortable just looking at it.

"This pill is called the Heart-Shaking Pill. After a cultivator eats it, if there is no antidote within one day, their internal organs will be devoured, and they will die beyond any hope of survival. You swallow it, and I will allow you to go deliver the pills."

Xiao Meiniang smiled charmingly at Wu Feng, but her eyes held an unquestionable tone.

Seeing that the situation was pressing, Wu Feng had no choice but to swallow the pill.

After swallowing the pill, Wu Feng's entire body trembled, as if his soul had been occupied by a bug.

Closing his eyes, he didn't know how much time had passed before Wu Feng finally recovered.

Opposite him, Xiao Meiniang stood in place and said to Wu Feng charmingly, "Wu Feng, if you can help me this time, I will certainly not be stingy with benefits for you. But if you harbor any ulterior motives, I will definitely make you die a very ugly death. Do you understand?"

Wu Feng nodded, his expression looking poor.

Chapter 2245: Constraint

Chapter 2245: Constraint.

Having just entered this world not long ago, only to be constrained by a prostitute, Wu Feng was naturally unhappy.

"Alright, go ahead. We will set off tonight."

After Xiao Meiniang finished speaking charmingly, she walked away.

Wu Feng had no choice but to go out not long after and head toward the city gate.

This city was named Haotian City, the most powerful cultivator city within the last ten thousand kilometers. Those who lived inside either had backgrounds or were cultivators with a cultivation base above the late Saint stage.

As for ordinary cultivators, like Wu Feng, they lived outside the city.

The outside of the city and the inside of Haotian City were naturally two different worlds.

Inside the city, if a cultivator was murdered, the City Lord's Mansion would be responsible for finding the murderer. Although they wouldn't necessarily make the murderer die, some punishment and some price would certainly have to be paid.

But if one lived outside the city, then truly, if you died, you died in vain; no one would pay any attention.

"Why does this damn woman, whose cultivation base has already reached the late Saint stage and who also has some wealth, which should allow her to live inside the city, why has she been staying outside the city all along?"

After Wu Feng walked to the East City Gate, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"Could it be that she actually has enemies inside the city? Or is there some other reason?"

Wu Feng was somewhat surprised, but no matter how he thought about it, the most urgent thing now was to find the shopkeeper and ask for help.

Yes, although this shopkeeper seemed very fierce, he also had financial entanglements with Wu Feng, so he shouldn't want Wu Feng to die.

Inside Haotian City, Wu Feng quickly found a market, which was full of shops buying and selling pills.

And one of the shops, which was plain and unremarkable, named Baibao Pavilion, was the one opened by Shopkeeper Wang.

Wu Feng walked in and soon met Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang's expression had been very poor when he first saw Wu Feng, but when he saw Wu Feng take out more than a hundred White Moon Pills, he smiled like a chameleon.

"Hehe, you little one, I really didn't misjudge you. You actually refined these White Moon Pills so quickly. Let me try one."

Shopkeeper Wang took out a White Moon Pill and swallowed it, then closed his eyes, his spiritual energy fluctuating rapidly throughout his body.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Wang reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Wu Feng, and smiled, "Very good, the medicinal effect of this White Moon Pill is very rich. It should be able to sell for a good price."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Wang handed over a storage bag. Wu Feng took it and checked it casually, discovering it contained a dozen top-grade wind-element spirit stones.

In this world, these were the most top-grade spirit stones. One could instantly replenish all the spiritual power in Wu Feng's body, and they could also be transformed into certain wind-element methods to attack enemies.

However, after Wu Feng checked it, he returned the storage bag.

Shopkeeper Wang was somewhat surprised, but soon, his eyes rolled, and after checking that there was no one around, he said in a low voice, "You little one, you must have encountered some trouble?"

"Yes, I have indeed encountered trouble now. The situation is like this, my neighbor..."

Wu Feng told him his current situation in detail, in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Wang had originally looked interested when he heard about Xiao Meiniang, but after hearing what Xiao Meiniang was going to take Wu Feng to do tonight, his eyes changed from lecherous to cautious.

Chapter 2246: Cautious

Chapter 2246: Cautious.

After Wu Feng finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes even became cold.

"You ate that Heart-Shaking Pill?"

Shopkeeper Wang reached out and quickly pressed down on Wu Feng's crown.

Wu Feng did not resist; after all, at the moment, this Shopkeeper Wang was Wu Feng's straw to clutch at.

After checking for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Wang withdrew his palm and sighed slightly, saying, "I didn't expect it, it really is the Heart-Shaking Pill. This kind of pill is very hard to buy even inside the city. This woman really went all out."

Wu Feng quickly said, "Shopkeeper Wang, this matter of mine..."

Before Wu Feng could finish, Shopkeeper Wang cut him off, saying, "Wu Feng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Xiao Meiniang is actually not the mastermind; she is just a participant, and perhaps even the most low-end kind. Taking you along might be the most valuable part she has in the whole affair."

"Therefore, after you ate the Heart-Shaking Pill she gave you, she has already completely controlled you. It is almost impossible for you to break free from her hands."

Wu Feng knew that Heart-Shaking Pill was actually just a general term; various attributes were similar, but the means of unlocking it had a lot to do with the person using the Heart-Shaking Pill.

Wu Feng did not harbor any extravagant hopes that Shopkeeper Wang would undo the control of the Heart-Shaking Pill for him; rather, he hoped that Shopkeeper Wang would step forward and have a talk with Xiao Meiniang, as Wu Feng was, after all, capable of earning money for Shopkeeper Wang.

But now it seemed that this whole matter was not simple at all. Even Shopkeeper Wang, at this very moment, did not dare to say easily that he could save Wu Feng.

"Little one, I actually want to save you, just as you said, I can rely on you to refine pills to make money, and your alchemy skills are very good. But tonight's matter is too important. Actually, I have to go too. The backer behind that woman is definitely not someone I can afford to provoke. I am powerless to help."

Wu Feng walked out of Shopkeeper Wang's shop, feeling extremely depressed.

This Shopkeeper Wang was an old-timer at the late Saint stage, almost surpassing the Saint level, yet when he mentioned Xiao Meiniang, he was so cautious.

Now, his last backer was also unreliable, and the depressed emotions in Wu Feng's heart were piling up crazily.

"Could it be that I really have to follow that woman to do that very dangerous thing?"

Wu Feng was not a fool. His experience told him that if he just went like that tonight, even if the matter succeeded, he would be a dead man!

After all, Wu Feng's cultivation base was too, too low. Xiao Meiniang might not necessarily be able to protect him, and even if she could protect Wu Feng and even give him some benefits, Xiao Meiniang could still come and finish Wu Feng off afterward to take away those rewards.

These days, it was completely a jungle society. Wu Feng's strength was like a small ant, while Xiao Meiniang was like a big cricket. If Wu Feng faced her, let alone benefits, he would definitely lose his life.

Wu Feng was somewhat unwilling. Even when evening arrived, he was still wandering inside the city, walking and thinking about what he needed to do to get rid of this certain-death ending.

Walking and walking, after a period of time, Wu Feng suddenly thought of a possibility, which was to cast some kind of technique on himself that could temporarily make him forget his alchemy techniques, or even swallow a pill that makes people forget things.

Chapter 2247: Technique

Chapter 2247: Technique.

Since Xiao Meiniang found Wu Feng, what she needed was Wu Feng's alchemy technique.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Meiniang would definitely try every possible way to help Wu Feng restore his alchemy ability.

If that were the case, Wu Feng could use this to probe some of Xiao Meiniang's deeper circumstances and the specific details of tonight's matter.

If he could make some preparations, Wu Feng felt that, given his ability to possess a system and take out many magic treasures, there was still a chance to save his life.

Although the system had been reset now and he could only take out magic treasures three levels higher than his current cultivation base, which probably couldn't harm Xiao Meiniang, Wu Feng could take out many of them.

Quantity can often make up for quality to a large extent.

Wu Feng bought a pill in the city that could briefly make a person lose their memory, and then quickly left the city before dark, returning to his house.

In the house, he hadn't stayed for even the time it takes to burn a stick of incense when Wu Feng's front door was pushed open.

This time Wu Feng had locked the front door, but it was easily pushed open by Xiao Meiniang, and the lock was broken. ===== CHAPTER 3246 =====
