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

Unlike other alchemists who were crowded with people, the Miao Mansion didn't even have a decent mansion. It was deserted and quite desolate.

Zhu Qingyou and Fang Rou looked at each other and said nothing when they saw the situation of the Miao Mansion.

"Since we're here!" Zhu Qingyou knew that Miao Qian, whom Fang Rou suspected, might not have the longevity pill, but they had no other choice but to go in and find out.

Fang Rou nodded slightly and knocked on the door of the Miao Mansion with Zhu Qingyou.

"No one?" After waiting for a long time and seeing no one inside to open the door, Fang Rou and Zhu Qingyou both had a bad premonition in their hearts.

At this time, a passerby passed by here and saw the two women knocking on the door. He waved his hand and said, "Don't knock. This family has offended the Yuan Gang and has not opened the door for several days."

Offended the Yuan Gang?

Fang Rou heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to ask the woman: "Auntie, can you tell me in detail?"

"You are a very sensible little girl, so I will tell you quietly." The old lady took the pill from Fang Rou and smiled.

But then her smile faded, and she looked around with a suspicious look, as if she was afraid of being known.

She lowered her voice and said: "A few days ago, the Yuan Gang came to the door and wanted the Miao family's alchemist to join them, but unfortunately they were rejected. Although the Yuan Gang didn't say anything at the time, but..."

The words after that were not detailed, but Fang Rou and Zhu Qingyou understood.

"Did the Miao family move away?" Zhu Qingyou asked hesitantly.

Although she knew that the hope of getting the longevity pill from the Miao family's alchemist was slim, she was still willing to give it a try.

At least from the perspective of the Miao family offending the Yuan Gang, as long as they had the longevity pill, they would not have sold it during this period.

Because almost 90% of all the pill sales channels in the entire Ziyang Sect were controlled by the Yuan Gang.

The remaining scattered channels also have more or less relationship with Ziyang Sect, and they may not have this network.

The old lady thought about it, shook her head and sighed: "I don't know, anyway, I haven't seen them open the door these days. Are you their friends? Or do you need them? In this world, they may have been driven away by the Yuan Gang. It's hard to find them!"

Without chatting with Fang Rou in detail, the old lady sighed a few words and left quietly.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Zhu Qingyou looked at Fang Rou.

Fang Rou pondered for a while, and finally nodded. The two came to Miao Mansion again, but this time, they did not check from the front door, but came to the side door, released their souls, and peeked in.

"Who are you?!"

Not long after peeping, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, shaking Zhu Qingyou's soul and making her breath disordered. She couldn't help but step back a few steps. Fang Rou, who was on the side, saw this and quickly grabbed her, sent her energy, and appeased her.

"Who are you?"

At this time, the door was opened, revealing a beautiful face, looking at the two women, and asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Qingyou thought that the person who made the move was this woman, so he clasped his hands and said: "I am a disciple of Ziyang Sect, and she is the head of Xuanyin Sect. We came here to ask for something."

"Disciple of Ziyang Sect? Head of Xuanyin Sect?" Miao Xingxing muttered. She had naturally heard of Ziyang Sect, but had never heard of Xuanyin Sect.

But what made her curious was why the disciples of Ziyang Sect came to them for help.

She didn't think much, but looked at the two people, staring at them for a moment, and then said faintly: "Come in."

...

In a room in the backyard.

"Do you want to buy the longevity pill?" Miao Qian's face darkened when she learned that Miao Xingxing brought the disciples of Ziyang Sect.

During this period of time, their Miao family was tortured by the Yuan Gang. People from Ziyang Sect dared to come to their door!

In her opinion, the people of Ziyang Sect and Yuan Gang are birds of a feather, and neither of them is a good person.

If Miao Xingxing hadn't brought them here, they would have been kicked out before they even entered the house.

After a conversation, seeing that the two people did not look like people from the Yuan Gang, Miao Qian asked about their purpose.

Fang Rou nodded and briefly told the reason why she needed the longevity pill.

"You can have the longevity pill, but..." Miao Qian's green jade fingers kept tapping on the table, revealing hesitation.

Fang Rou couldn't wait to ask, "But what?"

Miao Qian did not answer immediately, but turned her eyes to Zhu Qingyou, and said faintly, "But our Miao family has offended the Yuan Gang. Can Ziyang Sect help us settle this matter?"

"Please forgive me for being unable to do anything about this matter!" When Miao Qian turned her eyes to herself, Zhu Qingyou vaguely guessed that her conditions might be related to herself, so after listening, she smiled bitterly and replied helplessly.

Although she is a disciple of Ziyang Sect, she is an ordinary disciple in the current Ziyang Sect.

If it weren't for her status as the head of Ziyang Sect, she wouldn't even be able to enter Ziyang Sect with her strength.

After Ziyang Sect merged, although it was destroyed by the demon, it did not perish, but became stronger because of Bi Tianyu's appearance.

These people don't have much status in the entire Ziyang Sect, let alone any say.

She can't deal with Yuan Gang at all, otherwise she wouldn't open a medicine shop in a remote street.

Fang Rou also knew Zhu Qingyou's difficulties, so she asked: "Can you change the conditions?"

"Change the conditions? Then can you help me get the certificate to open a store?" Miao Qian heard the embarrassment of the two from their words, and was more and more sure that the two had little connection with Yuan Gang, so she changed the subject and asked.

Since the Yuan Gang took over the Ziyang Sect and assisted in the management of the Ziyang Sect, even opening a store requires the approval of the Yuan Gang.

Without approval, no one can open a store in Ziyang City, otherwise they will be targeted by the Yuan Gang and will not survive for more than three days.

To get a store certificate, it is not only a matter of money, but also to be prepared for various exploitations.

Miao Qian knew all these and was willing to compromise, but the problem was that they had offended the Yuan Gang some time ago, and they were afraid that the Yuan Gang might not give them a store certificate. What worried them more was that even if they were given, they might find an excuse to close it at will, which would not be worth the loss.

Zhu Qingyou was a disciple of the Ziyang Sect. If they could help them get a store certificate, the Miao family would be connected to Zhu Qingyou invisibly. When the Yuan Gang learned about this, they would be hesitant even if they wanted to take action against the Miao family.

Not only Miao Qian knew the tricks, but Zhu Qingyou and Fang Rou also knew them, but it was a pity.

"No." Zhu Qingyou shook her head and refused. She did not have the ability.

Miao Qian was not angry and ordered them to leave: "In that case, please go back."

"I have a solution. How about transferring my shop to you?" Zhu Qingyou gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.

Miao Qian's eyes lit up when she heard it. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "If it's suitable, no problem."

Then, Miao Qian asked Zhu Qingyou to take them to visit the store.

Although Zhu Qingyou's shop is a bit remote, Miao Qian likes it very much.

A remote location does not mean that there are no customers. What Ziyang City lacks the most now is customers. With their ability to refine pills, they can fully develop it. Moreover, this location is not easy to be noticed by the people of Yuan Gang, which is in line with her idea.

"Miss Zhu, I won't take advantage of you. The value of this shop is far greater than the value of the longevity pill. How about this? In addition to this longevity pill, I will give another one million pure Yuan pills as 30% of the dry shares. You and I will run this shop together. From now on, the profits will be divided 50-50. You will manage it on weekdays, and I will provide pills. How about it?" After considering it, Miao Qian made a decision.

Zhu Qingyou thought about it and nodded in agreement under the gaze of the two.

Of course, verbal promises have no guarantee. They still need to find an official witness.

...

Urban Management Bureau.

"Transfer to the Miao family? Wait a minute."

After the contract was prepared, the two parties signed it under the witness of the Urban Management Bureau.

However, the people from the Urban Management Bureau did not agree immediately after reading the contract, but asked both parties to wait for a while.

This made Miao Qian feel uneasy.

After a while, the man came back, handed the contract to both parties, and shook his head and said, "This is not possible."

"Why?" Miao Qian asked dissatisfiedly.

"Of course it's because you've offended our Yuan Gang!" Before the words were finished, a slightly arrogant voice came from the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Fang Rou's pupils suddenly shone. The person who came was none other than Xu Qian.

Xu Qian didn't expect to see Fang Rou here, but he only glanced at her and turned his attention to Miao Qian and Miao Xingxing, mother and daughter.

Then he came to the counter, picked up the contract and looked at it. After looking at it for a while, he put it down and sneered: "You offended our Yuan Gang and still want to gain a foothold in Ziyang City. You Miao family really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

With a snap, Xu Qian took a picture of the contract directly, glanced at Zhu Qingyou, and smiled slightly: "And you dare to find a disciple of Ziyang Sect to guarantee you. This junior sister, it's not easy to have a store. I don't know how many people have fought and broken their heads but failed to obtain a store opening certificate. You are a member of Ziyang Sect, so you should stand by Senior Brother Tianyu and Yuan Gang.

On weekdays, we should help each other instead of giving outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of us.

Especially this outsider, who has offended the Yuan Gang and is a member of Ziyang Sect, should not cooperate with her.

Since you are a first-time offender, I will not hold you responsible for this matter.

As for this contract, I don't think it is necessary to sign it."

He didn't know Zhu Qingyou, but the other party was a disciple of Ziyang Sect after all, so he would give her some face.

If the other party knows what's good for him, he can pretend that nothing happened. If he doesn't, he has plenty of ways to take back the store.

Hearing this, Miao Qian pursed her lips and tried not to let out her anger.

Zhu Qingyou didn't say anything. She didn't expect that the power of the Yuan Gang would even cover the Urban Management Bureau, and make things so difficult for the Miao family.

At this point, if Xu Qian didn't agree, it would be impossible to succeed.

She sighed in her heart, knowing that the deal with Miao Qian was broken, and neither she nor Miao Qian could save the situation.

Fang Rou clenched her fists. She was about to succeed, but was stopped by Xu Qian. The anger and unwillingness in her heart almost burst out.

But she knew that this matter was not something she could stop, and all her hopes eventually turned into silent waves.

So much so that the moment she walked out of the Urban Management Bureau, her mind was blank.

"What is this?" Looking at the longevity pill handed over by Miao Xingxing, Fang Rou and Zhu Qingyou looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Miao Xingxing's voice was also somewhat sad and angry, and she explained: "It's not your fault that this thing failed. This longevity pill can only extend life for one year. Just consider it as my compensation to you."

"Thank you!" Fang Rou thanked her and accepted the longevity pill.

Although extending life for one year is not long, it can give her enough time to find a new longevity pill.

After giving the longevity pill, Miao Xingxing did not leave, but stopped and stared at Zhu Qingyou, with a look of hesitation on her face.

Zhu Qingyou saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, you are a disciple of Ziyang Sect. Have you ever heard of a disciple named Su Chen?" Miao Xingxing asked shyly.

"Su Chen!"

The two women looked at each other.

"Do you know Brother Su?" Miao Xingxing heard something wrong in their voices and asked, "Where is he?"

After entering Ziyang Sect, she had been asking about Su Chen, but Ziyang Sect was too big and she didn't have any acquaintances. In addition, the recent situation of the Miao family made her unable to split her time, so she didn't get any useful information.

After learning about Zhu Qingyou's identity, she actually wanted to ask a long time ago, but now she found the opportunity, so she asked under the pretext of giving her the longevity pill, hoping to get news about Su Chen from the other party.

Looking at the expressions of the two, it seemed that they knew Su Chen, which made Miao Xingxing feel a little bit of expectation.

"What is your relationship with Su Chen?" Fang Rou asked proactively out of a woman's intuition.

Miao Xingxing then told Fang Rou how she met Su Chen. After learning about it, Fang Rou introduced herself: "I am Junior Brother Su's senior sister..."

"So that's the case. Where is Brother Su now?" Miao Xingxing was surprised and happy after confirming the news.

Fang Rou shook her head and said: "I don't know either."

Immediately, Fang Rou and Zhu Qingyou told Miao Xingxing the news they knew.

Knowing that Su Chen was no longer in Ziyang Sect, Miao Xingxing was extremely disappointed, but she quickly reacted and took out another longevity pill from her arms and handed it to Fang Rou: "This is a longevity pill that can extend life by ten years. You go and give it to Brother Su's master."

"This..." Fang Rou hesitated.

Zhu Qingyou asked: "Then your mother knows..."

The longevity pill that can extend life by ten years is worth more than 500,000 pure Yuan pills. Miao Xingxing took it out like this. She was really worried that the other party would be beaten and scolded by Miao Qian.

"It's okay, I made all these." Miao Xingxing waved her hand and smiled, then asked, "Can you take me to see Master Hong? I know a little bit about medicine, I can help Master Hong."

"Okay!"

...

Urban Management Department.

"You did a good job this time. If you meet someone from the Miao family next time, let me know immediately."

Xu Qian took out the Pure Yuan Pill and rewarded it to the person from the Urban Management Department. The person said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

Tap tap.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and a figure flew into the Urban Management Department like the wind and came to Xu Qian.

"Brother Xu, it's bad, something big happened in Ziyang Sect."

"You are so flustered, what's wrong!" Xu Qian saw the man so flustered, his face sank, "Ziyang Sect has Senior Brother Bi to support it, what big thing can happen?"

The man was still flustered: "It's Su Chen, Su Chen has returned to Ziyang Sect!" (End of this chapter)
