It’s all about martial arts, why did you turn on the simple mode?

"Mr. Lu, don't, don't do anything..."

He Chong ran over in a hurry and stood in front of He Yuan, fearing that Su Chen would kill He Yuan with a single blow.

"What else do you have to say?" Su Chen stopped and stared at He Yuan.

When He Yuan heard this, he looked ashamed and sighed: "I did something wrong in this matter. I am willing to bear the consequences, but please Mr. Lu, please let Chong'er go. He is innocent. Besides, it was me who insisted on changing things without authorization." The route has nothing to do with him!”

"No..." He Chong shook his head, his voice choked with sobs, and then he knelt in front of Su Chen and prayed, "Mr. Lu, please let my father go..."

Su Chen looked deeply at He Chong without answering. Then he turned his gaze to He Yuan and said in an indifferent voice:

"You should be grateful that you have such a good son. If he hadn't stopped you, even if the people from the Blood Knife Sect didn't kill you, I wouldn't have let you go!"

Hearing this, He Chong was startled, then realized what he was saying, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

He Yuan also bowed quickly, bowed and thanked: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu, for not killing me."

Su Chen calmly accepted the two's thanks. He had actually arrived a long time ago, but he just didn't show up.

He saw the argument between the two of them. If He Chong's words hadn't impressed him so much, he would never have come to the rescue when the leader of the Blood Knife Sect took action. At worst, he would have waited until He Yuan died to save He Chong. Then just take the money and leave.

Fortunately, He Yuan was not swayed by profit and eventually changed his mind. Therefore, Su Chen just made him suffer a little, then saved the two of them and killed the leader of the Blood Knife Sect.

Ignoring the tenderness between father and son, Su Chen turned his attention to the master of the Blood Knife Sect, then walked closer, groped for a while, and found hundreds of taels of silver in his arms, but found nothing.

"I have discovered that the higher the status of a person, the less money he brings with him when he goes out!"

Reluctantly, Su Chen fumbled around again, but the result was the same. He shook his head slightly and put the money into his arms with a sigh.

Although the money collected from the leader of the Blood Knife Sect was relatively small, several hundred taels of silver were still collected from the other Blood Knife Sect disciples.

Overall, this trip is not considered a loss, not to mention that there is still 40% of Hunyuan Sect’s subsequent wealth.

"Mr. Lu, are you looking for this?"

At this time, He Chong's voice came from not far away. He stood beside a pile of broken blades and pointed at the ground.

Su Chen walked over with a puzzled look on his face, looked in the direction of his finger, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

Among these broken blades, there was a small piece of parchment folded inside, which seemed to be hidden in the sword. After the sword was broken, it was revealed.

"When did you find out?" Su Chen glanced at He Chong in surprise. If the other party hadn't reminded him, he might not have noticed this.

He Chong scratched his head and smiled: "I discovered it before, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I suddenly remembered it when I saw Mr. Lu looking for something."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to pick up the parchment, blew on the sawdust on it, and then handed it to Su Chen without looking at it.

Su Chen became more and more satisfied with this smart young man, but he still asked, "Aren't you interested in this?"

"I'm interested, but this is Mr. Lu's trophy and should belong to Mr. Lu." He Chong said seriously.

Su Chen nodded slightly, took the parchment, and looked at it carefully.

He Yuan came to He Chong, and both of them waited quietly without disturbing Su Chen.

After a long time, Su Chen threw the parchment to He Chong and said, "You are a better person than your father, so I will give this to you."

He Yuan on the side was not embarrassed when he heard this, but instead smiled with relief.

After He Chong heard this, he was a little flattered. He waved his hands and was about to refuse, but he heard Su Chen say: "I don't have the habit of taking back things I give away."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" He Chong had no choice but to put the parchment away and thanked him.

He Yuan stood up, handed over a small box with both hands, and said respectfully: "Mr. Lu, this is the remaining balance, please accept it with a smile."

"Um!"

Su Chen took the small box and opened it. When he saw the Qi and Blood Pills and silver coins inside, he couldn't help but asked: "20 Qi and Blood Pills and 30,000 taels of silver. We agreed at the beginning that there are not so many, right?" ?”

The price the two negotiated was 90% of the Hunyuan Sect’s wealth. They had previously given 20 Qi and Blood Pills and twenty thousand taels, which was already half of the Hunyuan Sect’s wealth. Now the number of Qi and Blood Pills remained unchanged, and an additional ten thousand were given. Two, which obviously exceeded the amount agreed by both parties.

"The extra money was given by He to apologize to Mr. Lu. If it hadn't been for Mr. Lu this time, we, father and son, would have died. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Lu for accepting the money." He Yuan explained with a smile. .

"Okay, I'll take it." Su Chen didn't care and took the Qian Liang and Qi Blood Pill.

After seeing Su Chen accept it, both of them smiled.

Su Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "Now that the people from the Blood Knife Sect have been dealt with, are you still planning to leave?"

Hearing this, He Yuan nodded: "After staying in Dafeng City for so long, He has long been tired of it, so I just took advantage of this opportunity to take Chong'er away from the hustle and bustle."

"Okay, then I won't advise you anymore. I hope you have a smooth journey!"

"Thank you Mr. Lu!"

The two bowed again and thanked Su Chen.

After a moment, when the two of them raised their heads, they saw Su Chen's figure at the end of the road.

"Dad, where are we going next?" He Chong looked away and asked blankly.

"This road is to Yunzhou, why not go to Qinghe City." He Yuan thought for a while and said, then looked at He Chong, "By the way, what was the thing that Mr. Lu gave you just now?"

He Chong took out the parchment, opened it, and whispered softly: "Blood Shadow Sword Technique!"

…

After saying goodbye to He Yuan and his son, Su Chen rushed back to the city without stopping, and finally entered the city before the curfew.

After returning home, Su Chen shed all his fatigue and put tonight's gains on the table.

This trip was fruitful.

Not to mention the twenty Qi and Blood Pills, the money alone was more than 50,000 taels. In addition, there was a sword technique that made Su Chen very coveted.

The Blood Shadow Knife Technique on the parchment not only records a full set of moves, but also the related strength-training techniques. In other words, this is a strength-training knife technique that meets the requirements of the panel.

"In terms of speed alone, apart from being faster than the Blood Shadow Knife Technique at the moment of drawing the sword, the other moves are not as powerful as the Blood Shadow Knife Technique. The Blood Shadow Knife Technique is not only fast, but also has very tricky moves and powerful combinations. It’s so powerful that even I have difficulty resisting it!”

In terms of strength, there is no doubt that he can crush the master of the Blood Knife Sect, but the other party relied on his tricky Blood Shadow Knife technique to forcefully tie him.

Although it is a bit tricky, it is enough to show how powerful the Blood Shadow Sword Technique is. But at this moment, this powerful Blood Shadow Sword Technique belongs to him.

"It's just a few hundred taels, a small amount of money, a panel, recharge, and turn on the simple mode!"

The wealthy Su Chen thought silently in his heart with the attitude of a nouveau riche. After a moment, the prompt on the panel sounded:

[Easy mode turned on: With fifty swings of the sword, you can practice the blood shadow sword technique to a small level. 】

Picking up a steel knife he brought back from a disciple of the Blood Knife Sect when he returned to the city, Su Chen began to swing the knife fifty times, finishing it in less than five minutes.

Su Chen did not pause, but continued to recharge, turned on the simple mode, then swung the knife, recharged...

Until the fourth time when simple mode was turned on, the sound from the panel sounded:

[Simple mode on: Swing the sword five hundred times to practice the blood shadow sword technique to the limit. 】

After five hundred blows, the various moves of the Blood Shadow Knife were engraved in my mind and turned into the body's instinct, and I could passively use them without deliberately swinging them.

"Okay, the next step is to fuse the blood shadow knife. I really don't know what kind of changes will be brought about after the sword drawing technique is fused with the blood shadow knife. I'm really looking forward to it!" Su Chen said to himself in anticipation. road.

No need to hesitate, recharge in one go, and then wait for the prompts from the panel:

[Easy mode turned on: Swing the sword two hundred times to practice the sword drawing technique to the second level. 】

The number of times he swung the knife was even less than when he practiced the Blood Shadow Sword to the limit. In about ten minutes, Su Chen completed the task of swiping the knife two hundred times.

The panel refreshes quickly:

[Martial Arts:...Dagger Drawing Technique (Second Level 1%)]

[Simple mode:...The art of sword drawing (300 taels + any extreme sword art/time)]

The sword-drawing technique has entered the second level!

Su Chen's face lit up with joy, and the hand holding the steel knife trembled slightly, as if there was some kind of resonance with the knife in his hand.

After a while, he calmed down a little and came to the yard. Even though it was already late at night, Su Chen still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Drawing the knife, swinging the knife, cutting it down, and sheathing the knife, all the movements are done smoothly and smoothly.

As a user, Su Chen saw something different and had a more personal experience.

"When I slashed out with one sword, two sword shadows were produced. It was as if I had slashed two swords at once. Both the power and speed were doubled compared to before."

Su Chen stared blankly at the steel knife in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The power of the second-level sword-drawing technique really surprised him.

Especially those two knife shadows gave him an incredible feeling.

Obviously you are only swinging one sword, but when it falls in the enemy's eyes, there are two swords, and the two swords are superimposed, and the power is doubled.

If someone is not careful, even if he blocks the first sword shadow, he will be killed by the second sword shadow because of his slackness.

Such a move is simply a killing weapon that can kill with one hit!

"This sword, not to mention that the master of the Blood Knife Sect can't catch it, even I, who haven't practiced the Blood Shadow Sword Technique, may not be able to escape unscathed. It's really scary. Fortunately, this is my move, and it's my enemy who has a headache. , not me, haha..."

Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued the test tirelessly.

At the end of the test, he attached his strength to the blade, wanting to see how powerful the sword drawing technique would be with the blessing of strength.

…

In a secluded courtyard, the wind blew and the leaves rustled, accompanied by high-pitched screams.

Not far away, a ghostly figure approached from far away. In a few steps, he came to the door of the other courtyard. When he heard the hysterical screams inside, he couldn't help but stop and stood at the door, waiting quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams turned into screams, the screams turned into screams, and then a hoarse voice sounded in the yard: "Come in!"

The black shadow slowly opened the door and walked in. He lowered his head and without even looking at the woman who died tragically beside him, he knelt on one knee and said:

"Dharma King, Guardian Chang has received news that the people from the Blood Knife Sect did something wrong, allowing the people from the Hunyuan Sect to escape, and... all the disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, including the sect leader, are dead!"

"Huh?" After hearing this, the tall, well-dressed man frowned, and then asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"Protector Chang Yuan is investigating!" the black shadow replied.

"If you can't find out, ask him to come to me with his head raised."

The tall slender man replied lightly, then turned and left without looking at the black shadow.

outside the city.

A dove fluttered its wings and landed on the shoulder of a man in gray clothes.

After taking off the note from the carrier pigeon and opening it, Chang Yuan sneered and then turned his attention to a bloody corpse.

It is the body of the leader of the Blood Knife Sect!

"There's black blood on the wound? That means the knife is poisonous!

Huh? The knife wounds that were different from those of other Blood Knife Sect disciples were caused by two people, or did the opponent have two knives on his body?

A knife that can create such a wound seems to have never appeared in my memory. It should be a custom-made knife! "

Checking the injuries of the leader of the Blood Knife Sect, Chang Yuan analyzed it carefully.

After observing for a while, he sighed: "Unfortunately, there are still too few clues to deduce the identity of the other party. I only know that he is a master of swordsmanship. As for whether it is one person or two people, it seems that we can only start the investigation from the Hunyuan Sect. .”

After checking again to confirm that it was correct, he stood up again, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his arms, and then sprinkled it on the body of the Blood Knife Sect Master.

With a sizzling sound, the body of the Blood Knife Sect Master quickly turned into blood, soaking into the soil, revealing the white bones.

After doing this, Chang Yuan turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the night.

…

The next day, Su Chen took a rare nap and got up when the sun was about three o'clock in the morning.

I practiced too late last night, and also had several battles with the Blood Knife Sect, so I was a little exhausted. I only got better after a night's rest.

After getting up and washing up, Su Chen found a nearby breakfast stall and had a big meal.

By the time we got back to our residence, it was already noon.

After taking a short rest, Su Chen took out the Qi and Blood Pill and fell into deep thought:

"Right now, I have a total of twenty-eight Qi and Blood Pills on my body. It is not enough to improve either the Iron Cloth Shirt or the Hunyuan Gong. Both of them require thirty Qi and Blood Pills to improve.

But the current focus is not whether it can be improved. After all, if the Qi and Blood Pills are not enough, I can use the Boiling Blood Powder to make up for it. The question now is which one should be improved.

The iron cloth shirt can increase my strength and will undoubtedly improve my strength. Although Hunyuan Gong cannot directly improve my strength like the former, it can relieve my worries.

And as long as I improve the Hunyuan Gong again, I can completely integrate all the powers and combine them into one. At that time, my strength will also be indirectly improved, but it will definitely not be as much as improving the iron cloth shirt alone! "

After thinking about it, Su Chen came up with an idea, "Let's wait until next time to improve the Hunyuan Gong. After all, the power conflict in my body has just been eased and it shouldn't break out in a short time. Let's raise the iron cloth shirt first. Strengthen my strength and improve Hunyuan Gong in the future!"

Just do what you think of, and with the control of Su Chen's thoughts, the increase in the number of Qi and Blood Pills naturally fell in the "Iron Shirt" column, starting from scratch and increasing slowly and orderly.

For several days in a row, Su Chen stayed at home and rarely went out. He was immersed in preparing medicines and taking drugs every day, unable to extricate himself.

Tiebushan's progress was progressing in an orderly manner. Su Chen did not speed up deliberately, but progressed according to the number of three Qi and Blood Pills per day.

In addition, he will make two doses of Fei Xue Powder every day and plans to replace the remaining two Qi and Blood Pills with Fei Xue Powder.

For the rest of the time, Su Chen spent every day immersed in medical skills and obsessed with the improvement of Ecstasy.

Su Chen had improved the Ecstasy before, but as his strength improved, his opponents became stronger.

Ecstasy Powder, which can only be used on martial arts practitioners, is obviously not enough.

Last night, the leader of the Blood Knife Sect was a vivid example. After being hit by the Ecstasy, the other party was only dull for a moment and then reacted.

It is enough to show that the effect of Mi Hun Powder on Zang warriors is not very great.

If the leader of the Blood Knife Sect was stronger, I'm afraid this level of Ecstasy Powder wouldn't be able to work at all.

Therefore, Su Chen planned to take advantage of this period of time to improve the Lost Soul Powder.

Originally, Su Chen had no hope. After all, with his current level, even if he improved it, the effect might not meet his requirements.

It was just that during the improvement process, Su Chen had an idea inadvertently and thought of the poison the Blood Knife Sect master had given him before. Although it did not bring any effect to him, it provided him with a weak inspiration.

With this inspiration, Su Chen read about medical techniques, kept trying, and finally improved the three-generation ecstasy. Because it was successful by accident, even Su Chen didn't have an antidote.

In order to test the effect of Ecstasy, he took out a small amount of Ecstasy, diluted it with a bowl of water, found a wild dog on the roadside, and fed it to the wild dog. After drinking it, the wild dog fell asleep. He stayed there for three full days and nights, and almost starved to death. Fortunately, he was saved by Su Chen in the end.

With the help of this wild dog, Su Chen began to try to study the antidote. Since he had studied it once before, Su Chen was quite experienced. It took him three days to develop the antidote.

That night, Su Chen took a small amount of Ecstasy to test the effect. He could feel discomfort in his five internal organs, but he could not stop the discomfort, and his brain became drowsy after five minutes.

Fortunately, he took the antidote in time and woke up from this state. But what he didn't expect was that the third generation of Ecstasy seemed to have an additional function, which was to hiccup.

It took half an hour for him to stop hiccupping. His overall condition became a little worse, and his face became slightly ugly. But fortunately, through this experiment, he confirmed the efficacy of the third generation of Mi Hun Powder.

"For practitioners who practice Zang martial arts, if a small amount is used, it will take effect within five minutes, and if the amount is large, it will take less time. At the same time, it will be accompanied by long-term side effects of hiccups, and you will appear mentally exhausted afterwards!"

…

During the time when Su Chen was improving the Soul Powder.

Xuan Shui Sect, Xuan Fuyuan.

A rotting corpse was placed in the yard, with flies and bugs hovering over it, and a stench filled the air.

"Head of the Academy, Yu Xian died about half a month ago. The disciples found him on a road leading to the black market. The murderer should be a swordsman." A Xuanfu Academy disciple said.

The head of Xuanfu Academy frowned and looked at Yu Xian's body, with a look of displeasure on his face, not only because Yu Xian was not found dead for half a month, but also because someone actually dared to kill someone from the Xuanshui Sect.

This is undoubtedly a huge provocation to Xuan Shui Sect!

"Go find He Qiu from the Xuansha Academy!" The head of the Xuanfu Academy said calmly, and the disciples retreated.

A quarter of an hour later, a handsome man walked in. When he saw the head of Xuanfu Court, he cupped his fists and said, "Head of Pengyu Court!"

The head of Xuanfu Academy nodded, pointed at Yu Xian's body, and said, "He Qiu, you are a disciple of Xuansha Academy who is proficient in criminal investigation. I have something here that I need you to investigate."

"Who is this person?" He Qiu had already seen Yu Xian's body, but he did not recognize the other person's identity, so he couldn't help but ask.

"He is Yu Xian, a deacon of our Xuanfu Courtyard. He was killed by gangsters when he went out for shopping half a month ago. What you have to do is to find the murderer and bring him to justice!" The head of the hospital said coldly.

He Qiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Disciple will do his best in this matter, but it took half a month for the deacon to be found dead, and many clues have been broken. In a short period of time, disciple is afraid that It may not be possible to find the murderer.”

"It doesn't matter, just take your time. I have only one request: the murderer must be found!"

Hearing the killing intent in the words of the head of Xuanfu Academy, He Qiu solemnly nodded: "Yes!"

"These are three bottles of Xuanyuan Dan. If you find them, you will be rewarded!"

The head of Xuanfu Academy nodded with satisfaction and took out three bottles of Xuanyuan Pill from his arms.

He Qiu's face lit up and he took the elixir: "Thank you so much, Chief!"

After leaving Xuan Shui Sect, He Qiu rushed to Qingxi Town without stopping. According to the news from Xuan Fuyuan, this was where Yu Xian last appeared.

Relying on his status as a disciple of Xuan Sha Yuan, He Qiu quickly obtained Yu Xian's whereabouts that day and carefully watched his whereabouts several times.

He Qiu frowned. Judging from this whereabouts information, there was nothing suspicious.

After that, he went to the place where Yu Xian died to investigate, but returned without success.

He went to the black market again, but still got nothing, which made him vaguely guess that Yu Xian was killed because he encountered robbers.

But in this way, the scope of the murderer suddenly expanded a lot.

Who knows if the robbers outside Dafeng City are real robbers, or they may be pretended to be some warriors in the city.

As a last resort, he continued to expand the scope of the investigation. He sorted out Yu Xian's whereabouts over the past month and the people he came into contact with, and he found clues.

A few days before Yu Xian's death, another person disappeared inexplicably. This person was one of Yu Xian's subordinates, who specialized in handling unclean matters for Yu Xian.

The emergence of this clue was like a bright light in the dark night, guiding He Qiu in the direction of investigation.

Under He Qiu's day and night investigation, he followed the clues and finally found clues.

at the same time.

On the other side, on the eleventh day after Su Chen swallowed the Qi-Blood Pill, the iron cloth shirt's progress was finally reached, and Su Chen turned on the simple mode:

[Easy mode turned on: bathe in warm water for forty minutes, and you can train the iron cloth shirt to the fourth level. 】

After hearing this prompt, Su Chen, who was well prepared, took off his clothes and entered the tub to bathe. Forty minutes later, Tiebushan successfully entered the fourth floor.

Su Chen was already accustomed to the increase in strength. He just felt it briefly before turning his attention to another change that surprised him.

Su Chen could clearly notice that his breathing became extremely smooth and long.

Between exhalations and inhalations, the lungs are inflated, clean air is inhaled, and dirty air is exhaled. Every time you inhale and exhale, your body will feel a little more comfortable.

This feeling is most noticeable at the beginning, as if some impurities accumulated in the lungs are being removed bit by bit by one's own strength, making the entire lungs become transparent.

Although the effect weakened after that, if you experience it carefully, you can still feel the slow and steady changes in the lungs.

This shows that the lungs are changing all the time.

"So this is the tempering of internal organs!"

Su Chen sighed, having a more intuitive understanding of the realm of Zang training.

But then, he looked confused: "Why are only the lungs changed? Could it be that the iron cloth shirt is specifically designed to temper the lungs?"

Su Chen was a little unsure, so he closed his eyes and felt it, and finally came to the same conclusion.

"Although other internal organs have also been strengthened to varying degrees, they are not as obvious as the lungs. It seems that the iron cloth shirt has the best tempering effect on the lungs."

In addition, Su Chen also discovered some flaws, that is, as the strength increases, the speed of strength in the body slows down.

This is not a control problem, but the amount of strength limits the speed of strength itself. Even if Su Chen continues to accelerate, he will not be able to reach the ultimate speed before he was promoted.

Of course, this does not mean that his strength has declined. On the contrary, because of the increase in strength, Su Chen's strength has also become stronger.

"In actual combat, the impact of this slowdown is not big, especially since the strength content in my body is large, it can be ignored. However, tempering may have some impact. After all, if the circulation speed slows down, tempering will also Relatively slow.”

Su Chen thought about it and quickly came up with a solution, "If I remember correctly, Xuanyuan Jue can increase the speed of energy. If there is a chance in the future, I can consider this aspect."

After getting up from the bathtub, Su Chen put on his clothes and came to the yard, intending to get familiar with and test his strength.

Strength is different from Kung Fu. Each time it is improved, it takes some time to adapt.

…

Promoted to the mansion.

"Hall Master Hong, I came here this time because I want to inquire about someone from Hall Master Hong." He Qiu said after greeting Hong Risheng for a moment.

Hong Risheng nodded and said, "You say."

He Qiu said: "May I ask Hall Master Hong if he knows 'Su Chen'?"

Hearing this, Hong Risheng fell into brief contemplation, seeming to be thinking about the origin of the name.

At this time, Hong Chen on the side reminded: "Father, this Su Chen is the guy who sent the letter to mother."

After Hong Chen said this, Hong Risheng quickly remembered Su Chen's identity. He asked curiously: "This man visited my wife some time ago, but he never showed up again. What are you doing with him?"

"To be honest, I suspect that this person is related to a disappearance case of Xuanshui Sect disciples, so I want to find this person and bring him back to Xuanshui Sect for interrogation." Hearing this, He Qiu felt a pang for Su Chen and Hong Risheng. The relationship is clear, don't beat around the bush, get straight to the point.

"Brother Heqiu, you may have come to the wrong place. This guy has never appeared in the house since he was here last time." Hong Chen smiled and replied.

These words made He Qiu frown. Although his suspicion of Su Chen deepened, the clues ended here.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said: "In that case, I am disturbing Hall Master Hong. If this person appears again in the future, please tell me in time, Hall Master Hong. I would be very grateful!"

"Um!"

After Hong Chen sent He Qiu away, he found Hong Risheng.

"Father, what do you think this Su Chen did? He actually got involved with the Xuan Shui Sect and caused them to send He Qiu to investigate?" Hong Chen had heard of He Qiu's name for a long time, and he became more and more curious about what Su Chen had done. What.

Hong Risheng knew more, so he said: "Some time ago, a deacon of Xuanshui Sect was killed, so He Qiu was sent to investigate."

"Su Chen, a boy from the countryside, has such strength?" Hong Chen said in surprise. The deacon of Xuan Shui Sect is at least at the Zang training level.

He had known for a long time that Su Chen was just a disciple of Hong Ming. Hong Ming had never entered the Jin Dynasty in his life, and his disciple Su Chen Ding Po Tian was also a Jin martial artist.

With such strength, how could he kill the deacon of Xuan Shui Sect? He even doubted that He Qiu had gone in the wrong direction in his investigation.

Hong Risheng did not answer, but asked: "During this period, secretly send someone to investigate Su Chen's whereabouts, and pay close attention to your mother's movements."

"Father, are you doubting your mother?" Upon hearing this, Hong Chen reacted immediately.

Hong Risheng was noncommittal, and Tan Xue completely regarded Su Chen as her nephew. If Su Chen really committed a crime and asked Tan Xue to blame, she might not be able to protect Su Chen secretly.

He Qiu, who left Shengfu, fell into deep thought.

"This Su Chen came to Dafeng City not long ago. Except for going to Xuanshui Sect to take the assessment, he almost never left the city. The only person he visited in the city was Hong Risheng. Now he has disappeared quietly. It seems that even if this person is not the murderer, He must also know the inside story."

Thinking of this, He Qiu looked back at Shengfu, his expression moved slightly, "And if you want to make a person disappear for no reason, not everyone can do it..."

Although Hong Risheng and Hong Chen distanced themselves from their relationship with Su Chen, He Qiu felt that they were trying to cover up their relationship, which made him determined that Su Chen's disappearance was related to Hong Risheng.

It is even possible that it was Hong Risheng who protected Su Chen and hid him.

But all this is just He Qiu's speculation, and there is no evidence yet.

"Go back and tell the head of Pengyu about this first."

He Qiu shook his head and walked away.

…

There are still three days left before the black market opens at the beginning of the month.

Since both the Qi Blood Pill and the Xuanyuan Pill were exhausted, Su Chen planned to take advantage of these two days to study the secrets of medicine and expand his knowledge.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan came to the door in the afternoon of the next day and brought good news.

"Have you found a way?" Su Chen invited Zhu Yan in and asked.

Zhu Yan poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and then nodded: "Well, if my benefactor wants to go, you can do it now."

"good!"

Zhu Yan took Su Chen, Su Chen took the money, and the two set off.

"This is?"

Zhu Yan stopped in front of the gate of a high-rise courtyard. Su Chen looked at the word 'Cai Mansion' carved in gold and red on the door plaque and asked doubtfully.

Zhu Yan smiled: "This is where I live, and it is also one of the mansions of the leader of the Liuhe Gang."

Su Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After entering the mansion, he would occasionally meet some servants and maids. When they saw Zhu Yan, they would stop and say hello, and Zhu Yan would respond to them one by one.

Soon, the two entered a courtyard.

"Xiaoyue."

A woman wearing a white dress walked towards me. The woman had a delicate face and a tall figure. When she saw Zhu Yan, she smiled: "Brother Zhu!"

When Zhu Yan heard this title, he scratched his head and smiled. Before he could speak, Cai Xiaoyue turned her gaze to Su Chen with a look on her.

She asked with a smile: "Is this Brother Zhu's friend?"

"Well, Xiaoyue, didn't you say there was a way to sell Qi and Blood Pills, so I brought them here." Zhu Yan replied.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, you go out and wait first, and I will negotiate the price with him." Cai Xiaoyue smiled, and then added, "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, I won't let your friend suffer."

Only then did Zhu Yan walk out of the yard with confidence.

Seeing Zhu Yan leave, the smile on Cai Xiaoyue's face faded and became serious. After looking at Su Chen for a moment, she said coldly: "Brother Zhu came to Dafeng City not long ago. He has no friends at all. Who are you? Approach Brother Zhu." What’s the intention?”

Su Chen: "..."

Seeing Cai Xiaoyue interrogating him like a prisoner, Su Chen blushed for a while and replied: "I am really Zhu Yan's friend. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

"Impossible, I have never heard that Brother Zhu has friends in Dafeng City!" Cai Xiaoyue raised her voice slightly, and the suspicion in her eyes became stronger.

She took a step forward and asked, "Who are you?"

Facing Cai Xiaoyue's aggressiveness, Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Yan and I have known each other for a long time, but we only met in Dafeng City some time ago."

"Really? What's your name?"

"Ding Peng!"

After Cai Xiaoyue chewed on the name, her tone softened slightly: "Since you are Brother Zhu's friend, you are my friend. How many Qi and Blood Pills do you want?"

"The more the merrier!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoyue glanced at Su Chen in surprise, and then said: "This time there are only ten. If you want more, you can only wait until next time."

Ten?

Su Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay."

"Two hundred taels each, let's trade." Cai Xiaoyue asked someone to take out two celadon bottles and said, "Five in one bottle, ten in total!"

"Okay!" Su Chen took out two thousand taels from his arms and handed it to Cai Xiaoyue.

The transaction ended quickly, and Zhu Yan walked in and asked, "My benefactor, how is it?"

"Benefactor? Isn't he your friend?" Cai Xiaoyue asked Su Chen immediately when she saw Zhu Yan. She felt unhappy, but then her expression changed.

Zhu Yan smiled coquettishly: "He is a friend and also my benefactor."

"It turns out he is Brother Zhu's benefactor. Xiaoyue is so polite." As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Xiaoyue said softly.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yan was a little stunned. What is going on?

Su Chen looked at the stunned Zhu Yan with a strange expression, shook his head, and said to Cai Xiaoyue, who was saluting, "Miss Cai, you're polite."

"Gong, please call me Xiaoyue." Cai Xiaoyue said quickly.

"Xiaoyue, I always feel that you are a little strange. Did something happen?" Zhu Yan asked doubtfully.

Cai Xiaoyue's face turned slightly rosy, then she shook her head and said, "There's nothing weird about it, you're just overthinking it!"

"Oh, look at you, why are you so ignorant that you let your benefactor stand all the time? My benefactor, please sit down." Cai Xiaoyue scolded, then asked the maid to bring tea, and motioned for Su Chen and Zhu Yan to sit down and chat.

Hearing this, Zhu Yan smiled awkwardly: "I was confused, benefactor, please sit down!"

Su Chen looked at the two of them and felt that he was a bit redundant.

"I didn't know about my benefactor just now. Please forgive me. Don't worry, my benefactor, I will take care of the Qi and Blood Pill!" Cai Xiaoyue stood up and poured tea for Su Chen and Zhu Yan. Seeing Zhu Yan stand up, she softly shouted, "Brother Zhu , you sit down."

Su Chen, who originally wanted to stand up, hesitated. When Cai Xiaoyue saw this, her face turned slightly red, but she did not speak.

Zhu Yan said at the right time: "Yes, my dear benefactor, Xiaoyue is still very powerful."

The feeling of excess is even worse.

Su Chen took a breath and stopped talking, but Cai Xiaoyue noticed the change in Su Chen, so she asked, "Does my benefactor have any other instructions?"

"There is something, I may need to trouble Miss Xiaoyue."

"My benefactor, please speak!" Cai Xiaoyue straightened her body and said.

Su Chen glanced at Zhu Yan and asked calmly: "Is there any way to sell Xuanyuan Dan, Miss Xiaoyue?"

"Xuan Yuan Dan?" Cai Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Xuan Yuan Dan is the secret medicine of Xuanshui Sect. It has never been sold to the outside world. If my benefactor wants it, he can only join Xuanshui Sect. I am afraid that the rest will be Not for sale, and…”

Cai Xiaoyue paused, looked at Su Chen suspiciously, and continued: "Furthermore, only disciples of the Xuanshui Sect will use Xuanyuan Dan when practicing. Once others use Xuanyuan Dan, it may be counterproductive. If it is used by the benefactor for his own cultivation, it still needs to be treated with caution."

Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly felt enlightened, but said without changing his expression: "I didn't want to use it, a friend of mine asked me to find out, but we don't know that there is such a truth in it, thanks to Miss Xiaoyue's remind."

"That's it!" Cai Xiaoyue said thoughtfully, but she didn't care.

Tap tap tap.

"Doctor Zhu..."

While a few people were chatting, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, followed by a call.

Zhu Yan stood up and looked behind. A big man came over. When he saw Zhu Yan, he leaned over and said, "Doctor Zhu, a brother is injured and needs your treatment."

"Okay!" Zhu Yan looked back at Su Chen and said, "My benefactor, I..."

"You go and do your work first. It's time for me to go back." Su Chen stood up and said with a smile.

"Let's do this. Brother Zhu, go and do your work. I'll take my benefactor around." Cai Xiaoyue stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll bother Xiaoyue then." After Zhu Yan expressed his gratitude, he looked at Su Chen and said, "My benefactor, I'll be back soon."

When Zhu Yan left, Cai Xiaoyue said slightly apologetically: "I didn't know that my benefactor was Brother Zhu's benefactor just now. I have offended many people. Please forgive me."

Su Chen didn't know what Cai Xiaoyue was thinking, so he waved his hand and didn't pay attention, which made Cai Xiaoyue sigh in relief.

Immediately, Cai Xiaoyue led Su Chen around the house and chatted, and most of the topics were about Zhu Yan.

Su Chen also learned from Cai Xiaoyue how Zhu Yan joined the Liuhe Gang.

Things are not complicated. Zhu Yan accidentally saved a beauty and got acquainted with Cai Xiaoyue. Then Cai Xiaoyue let him join the Liuhe Gang to thank him.

After chatting for a while, Cai Xiaoyue suddenly invited her: "If my benefactor doesn't mind, why don't you join Brother Zhu and join the Liuhe Gang?"
