C569 After Drinking He Spoke the Truth
At this moment, there was a young man in white pushing a cart in the distance. Although it was covered with bags of herbs, Zhang Fann and Loong Xue could clearly feel that there must be a body filled with spirit energy in the cart.2
Zhang Fann pulled Loong Xue and jumped onto the tallest building nearby. He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the situation in front of the door.
He found out what Zhang Fann guessed. There was really such a corpse on the car. However, after the corpse was transported to the courtyard, it could no longer be seen because there were a few pill furnaces in the courtyard. The pill furnace was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was impossible to see what was inside.
Moreover, Zhang Fann had also discovered that there was a hidden barrier in the courtyard. The design of this barrier was quite advanced. If one did not carefully sense it, one would not be able to discover this barrier. If one were to barge in at this time, one would definitely suffer a loss.
He looked around again and found that the sky was already bright. Many people were already strolling on the streets. Some people came out to eat, some to find cheaper pills, and some to shop. They wanted to see what kind of liveliness there was on the streets. They were completely unaware of the danger that was happening here.
Loong Xue sighed and said to Zhang Fann, "It's really hard to imagine that such a dangerous thing has happened in the city and these people are completely unaware of it. It really makes me anxious."
Zhang Fann shook his head slightly and said to Loong Xue, "Sometimes when you are in it, you do not know if it is true or not. So, there is nothing to fear in their hearts. They feel that everything is a natural phenomenon. Only those who have jumped out of this circle and look down upon the world will be able to see the danger."
"I wonder how the investigations of the others are going. Why don't we go somewhere else and take a look? We can only enter this yard smoothly after we find an opportunity. Let's see if the others have any gains first. " Zhang Fann looked around and continued to speak to Loong Xue.
The two of them nodded at each other, then turned around and disappeared from the roof.
At this time, Dao Lang and Gao Eh were strolling on the street. They were also observing their surroundings to see if there were any abnormalities.
At this moment, Gao Eh noticed a young man in white next to them. He seemed to be slightly taller and more or less the same size as him. At least, this kind of person had a common language.
Thinking of Zhou, Gao Eh walked up to the young man and asked, "Brother, do you know where there is a place where food is cheaper? "The taverns we go to are too expensive. We can't afford to eat. We don't know when the city gate will open, so we can get out of this damn place."
The young man in white looked at Gao Eh and smiled. "We need to wait for our master to come back before we can open the gate. Otherwise, when those people come in from outside the city, We don't have enough resources here. We are doing this for the people in Liu City. "
Although Gao Eh didn't say anything, he snorted in his heart. He clearly wanted to trap all the people here. Why did he say such sarcastic words and find a reason? How despicable.
"Forget it. I don't intend to go out either. Since I'm here, I'll be at ease. " My brother and I want to find a place to drink, brother. Come together, let's get to know each other. Since we have nothing to do anyway, why don't we find a place to drink and chat? " Gao Eh waved at the young man in white. He signaled for him to drink with him.
The young man thought for a moment and decided that it was not a bad idea. However, there were too many people around. If he went for a drink and other senior brothers saw him, they would definitely complain to his master. If that happened, he might be in trouble.
Therefore, when he drank, he would always look for a very secretive tavern. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.
Thinking of this, the young man in white said to Gao Eh, "I really know a good place to drink. Since you two feel that we are fated to meet, why don't we sit down and chat while drinking?"
Gao Eh laughed and nodded to him. "That's great. We will not return until we are drunk."
After saying that, Gao Eh and Dao Lang exchanged glances with each other. A smile appeared on their faces. The man in front of them had obviously been tricked. As long as they drank a few cups of wine at the table, they might be able to get some useful information.
Gao Eh and Dao Lang followed the white-clothed youth to a secret tavern. They ordered a few jars of wine, ordered a few side dishes, and drank to their heart's content.
In the beginning, the three of them were talking about some things in the martial world. After drinking a few jugs of wine, the young man in white was a little drunk. He was almost done drinking, so he started talking about the matters in Liu City.
It turned out that when they came, they did follow a Alchemist called Zhao Ke. However, this guy called Zhao Ke was not a famous Alchemist. He was just a rogue cultivator in the martial world. He had obtained a very evil alchemy method by chance. He could use living people to refine Alchemists or even increase his strength.
However, this was very harsh on the selection of ingredients. It required the blood essence of a cultivator and spirit energy to concoct pills. This was a very difficult task.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, then it would be extremely difficult to refine pills. So he doesn't have much spiritual energy in him, Therefore, the medicinal pills he refined weren't very effective. If it was someone with a high cultivation realm, they wouldn't be caught and thrown into the pill furnace to refine.
Hence, Zhao Ke thought of a method, and that was to poison. However, the poison would have a certain effect on the blood essence in the human body.
In this way, Zhao Ke thought of a way, which was to use the Spirit Qi Pill as a catalyst and add some anesthetics into the Spirit Qi Pill. This way, the person who consumed the Spirit Qi Pill would unconsciously fall into a coma. If there was an overdose of this kind of anesthetics, the person would die, and even the blood would not flow. However, the Spirit Qi would still remain in the body.
Such an effect could be used to concoct pills. However, it was extremely beneficial to pill concoction. Therefore, Zhao Ke thought of a solution. It was to add this colorless and tasteless anesthetic into the Spirit Qi Pill, causing these people to die unknowingly, and use their corpses filled with Spirit Qi to refine medicinal pills.
Although they had previously obtained a certain degree of success and refined some of these medicinal pills, they later discovered that such accumulation was still a little lacking. They needed more people like this to refine medicinal pills, so the current scene had occurred.
Hearing his words, Gao Eh and Dao Lang immediately frowned. It seemed like Zhang Fann's analysis was right. These fellows really did not care about human lives and were completely devoid of conscience.
