After lying down for a while, Hua Ruge rubbed his stomach and said: "I haven't had my fill of pastries this afternoon, I'm hungry."

"I'll buy it for you later. There's a restaurant here." Tuoba Rui comforted her and patted her.

"I wonder when that fatty will come. Let the waiter buy it." As Hua Ruge spoke, he opened the door and called the waiter over, giving him spirit stones to instruct him to go buy some food and wine.

The waiter returned in a short while, and the four dishes were placed on a table. Hua Ruge sat down happily and just as he was about to eat, he heard a violent knock on the door.

"Kid, open the door." Ji Ming's arrogant voice came from outside.

Hua Ruge had a face full of displeasure.

Tuoba Rui went to open the door, and just as he did so, the man squeezed in. He held the half piece of pill in his hand and asked: "Is this yours?"

Hua Ruge did not answer, but continued to eat.

Tuoba Rui did not disturb her and said to Ji Ming: "Master Alchemist, please come in.

"Cut the crap, I'm just asking if this thing is yours?" Although Ji Ming said that, he still walked in from the door and sat on a chair to the side.

Tuoba Rui took it and looked at it, then asked doubtfully: "How did this come into your hands?"

"From under the bed." Ji Ming looked at his expression and said: "It seems to be yours?"

"I got it by chance the day before yesterday. If you think it's useful, I'll send it to you." Tuoba Rui said as he handed it back.

Ji Ming said snappily: "What do I need this half of the pill formula for? One look and one can tell that someone copied it. Tell that person where is it?"

Tuoba Rui looked at Hua Ruge and saw that he was still enjoying the meal. He smiled and turned to Ji Yue as he asked, "Why?"

Ji Ming was startled, then frowned: "Kid, you still dare to speak like that?"

"How is it?" Tuoba Rui asked.

Ji Ming thought about his request and suppressed his anger. He tried his best to speak slowly, "As long as you give me the complete pill formula, I'll give you all the conditions."

"Is the lord's words true?" Tuoba Rui confirmed.

Ji Ming was not stupid, seeing that, he frowned: "Does that mean you have a complete pill formula?"

"Yes." Tuoba Rui nodded.

"Speak, what do you want?" As Ji Ming spoke, his eyes lit up.

Tuoba Rui looked at Hua Ruge and asked: "Are there any additional conditions?"

"Leave your life." Hua Ruge mumbled while gnawing on the bone.

"Alright." Tuoba Rui replied.

Ji Ming asked with a face full of suspicion: "What do you mean?"

"It means that your life will be ours from now on." Tuoba Rui smiled at him.

Only then did Ji Ming feel that something was wrong. He immediately released his aura, wanting to escape.

"[Inescapable Net]." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of rays of light condensed in the air. These rays of light instantly formed the shape of a cage, trapping Ji Ming inside.

Ji Ming only felt that half of the spirit energy he could control disappeared in an instant, to the point where he couldn't even shout if he wanted to.

With an expert's keen senses, he immediately knew that the rules in the cage had been sealed. Without the rules that he relied on, he was basically a cripple.

"Who are you people?" Ji Ming panicked.

"I don't like people who talk too much." Tuoba Rui continued, "Hand over your identity card and your Pill Refiner badge."

Ji Ming was very unwilling to accept this, but he did not dare to resist when he saw the look in Tuoba Rui's eyes, even though he wanted to take out these two items from the spatial space, he was unable to.

Tuoba Rui squinted his eyes, a ray of light shining from the cage went dark.

Ji Ming realised that he could open up space now, he really wanted to take out his weapon, but seeing that Tuoba Rui did not dare to, he just handed over the two items.

Tuoba Rui looked at the name scroll. There was a spirit imprint on it, with life and rank written on it.

"That's right." He said that and put the item away.

Hua Ruge smiled at the side: "Hello, Pill Master Ji Ming."

"Yes." Tuoba Rui nodded.

The fatty instantly knew what the two were plotting. Thinking back to Hua Ruge's flattering look, it was not because he was afraid, but because he was setting up a trap for him.

He first passed the room to Zhang Xuan, then intentionally left half a page of pill formulas in the room so as to lure him here before making a move on him without anyone noticing.

Damn brat!

"If you two fancy my identity, I can give it to you, but can you let me go?" Ji Ming immediately gave in.

Tuoba Rui shook his head: "If I let you go, if you go to the Alchemist Guild and spread the news, not only will the name card and badge become invalid, I would also be hunted down. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I won't say anything. I promise with all my reputation." Ji Ming hurriedly said.

Hua Ruge said in disdain from the side, "A person like you is obviously notorious, what honor do you have?"

"Then I'll vouch for it with my life."

"Your life is in my hands now." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.

Hearing that, Ji Ming felt cold all over, he swallowed his saliva and struggled: Then how do you think we should let me go?

"It doesn't exist to let you go, but it's okay to let you live." Hua Ruge said again.

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Yue wasn't stupid, she knew that he wouldn't let her stay for him for nothing.

"Of course it's your old job. Obediently concoct pills for me." Hua Ruge smiled faintly.

Ji Ming felt uncomfortable all over, this man looked harmless, but why did he have a premonition?

"You'd better be honest, or I won't have any feelings for you." Tuoba Rui said.

Ji Ming nodded his head: "Alright."

With a thought from Tuoba Rui, the Empyreal Net condensed from the power of the natural laws changed its shape once again, transforming into a ray of light and drilled into Ji Ming's chest.

Ji Ming only felt a sharp pain in his chest, after that the strength of his body gradually disappeared, and no matter how he tried to move it, it was useless.

Seeing Tuoba Rui's skill, Hua Ruge continuously praised: "As expected of someone who knows the rules, amazing."

After being praised by her, Tuoba Rui smiled with slight satisfaction, and then said to Ji Ming: "Alright, now that you have eaten here, it's time for you to return to your room."2

"Will I die?" Ji Ming pointed to his own heart, and asked in great fear.

"If you don't know how to be obedient, but if you dare to do something you shouldn't do, I can take your life at any time." Tuoba Rui said.

Ji Ming nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

"Let's go back." Tuoba Rui's words were concise and short.

Ji Ming slowly got up, and very obediently turned around and walked out. At the moment, he was in a state of breakdown, he had to properly live in his own room, and be his own pill refiner, wouldn't that be good?

Why did it have to be someone else? It was useless to go through with it now.
