Chapter 448
“Many thanks, master!” Shi Wanli did not hesitate and accepted the pill.
PEI Ling nodded slightly and immediately asked,”How’s the situation with Kang Chengzhi’s disappearance? Did you get anything from the county capital?”
Since he knew that someone was trying to frame him, PEI Ling naturally had to show some concern.
“This matter has only been discovered not long ago,” Shi Wanli quickly replied. Moreover, Kang Chengzhi was only missing, and it was not confirmed that he was killed. There were no reliable clues yet. However, master, please be at ease! Grandmaster has been in seclusion these past three days to refine pills.”
“Originally, I was worried that there would be some criticism if there was no one to testify.”
“But now, with this newly refined high-grade life defying pill as proof, this one believes that no one will doubt Grandmaster!”
PEI Ling nodded. Actually, he had only spent slightly more than four hours to refine this death defying pill ...
The two of them chatted about the county examination. Shi Wanli received news from his colleagues and left.
And after he left, PEI Ling continued to entrust him to refine pills.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, seven days had passed.
The Alchemist trade fair was held once again.
Shi Wanli arrived at the cave abode on time and escorted PEI Ling to the GE Garden.
&Quot; Grandmaster, these few days, the county capital has been sending out Scouts everywhere. We have found some clues. Although we have yet to confirm Kang Chengzhi’s whereabouts, we can basically confirm that he is no longer alive. &Quot; On the way, Shi Wanli told PEI Ling, ” the person who did this is very clean. According to the judgment of the prefecture capital, with Kang Chengzhi’s strength and status, he is not strong enough to provoke such a strong enemy. &Quot;
“We suspect that the murderer may have other motives!”
&Quot; the Commandery chief has already communicated with me. Next, we will do our best to protect master’s safety! &Quot;
PEI Ling nodded his head thoughtfully. That Kang Chengzhi was bold and reckless. He had just arrived in the glazed tile Empire, which was famous for its peace, and even dared to use a fake remnant recipe to cheat in front of a fourth-grade Alchemist.
It would probably be even more rampant in other places.
Most likely, he had offended someone he shouldn’t have without knowing.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and they soon arrived at their destination.
Just like the last time, PEI Ling entered alone, while Shi Wanli stood guard outside.
After entering the GE Garden, the puppet led them to the main hall. At this time, the trade fair had not yet begun, but there were already many alchemists sitting in twos and threes, and they were all chatting.
When they saw PEI Ling enter, they all stood up and greeted him. &Quot; “Fellow cultivator Wang!”
“I haven’t seen you for a few days. How have you been, fellow Daoist?”
“Eh, fellow Daoist, you’ve been slacking off these days. Is it because you’re too tired from studying alchemy? I have a recipe for a pill that can nourish the soul. I only need ten Supreme-grade foundation building pills ...”
“Hey, hey, hey, old Zhong, you’re not kind. The rules of the trade fair can not be broken!”
“That’s right, since fellow Daoist Wang is already here, can’t we do the deal in the second half? Wouldn’t you be disrespecting elder tu by trading in advance?”
“It’s my fault. I couldn’t help but care about fellow Daoist Wang the moment I saw him ... Haha, it’s my fault. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to elder tu.” Old Zhong laughed drily, then he was stunned and begged for mercy. &Quot; please don’t take it to heart. Please don’t tell old tu. &Quot;
He had been too impulsive. After all, the so-called soul nourishing pill formula in his hands was not a rare thing.
If he was a little slower, he might be taken advantage of by others who also had this pill recipe.
However, as he spoke, he forgot the rules that tu he had set.
On the day of The Alchemist trade fair, to avoid disputes, no transactions were allowed before the official start.
Although Wang Gao had many benefits, master tu he was not to be offended.
Thanks to the trade fair’s rules, PEI Ling exchanged pleasantries with the crowd before he left and found a seat to sit down.
He had made a name for himself in the last battle. Although no one dared to talk about a deal with him immediately, the gazes from all directions were still on him, intentionally or otherwise.
In order to avoid trouble, PEI Ling decided to close his eyes and rest.
However, it didn’t take long for him to feel that someone was striding towards him.
PEI Ling had no choice but to open his eyes. He saw an Alchemist with a feminine face and a slightly evil aura sit down on the seat beside him, sizing him up.
The other party looked very unfamiliar.
PEI Ling carefully recalled that there was no such person in the last trade fair.
“What is it?” he frowned.
“I’m Xie Chang.” The Alchemist sneered and said, ” I’m a seventh-grade Alchemist from the nine luminaries mountain. &Quot;
PEI Ling nodded noncommittally and looked at the other party calmly.
Xie Chang leaned forward slightly and whispered, ” “Wang Gao, right? Do you still remember Kang Chengzhi? They are my best friends, like brothers! Two days ago, I was busy and wasn’t in the city, so he came to the trade fair alone to exchange for some alchemy items. I didn’t expect that I would accidentally offend you, and since then, my whereabouts have been unknown, and I’ve never seen my body or my body ...”
“I’ve already checked. During this period of time, you’re the only cultivator who has a grudge against my brother.”
“I don’t need to point out who killed my brother, do I?”
“However, the dead can not be brought back to life. I am not unreasonable. Tell me, what should we do?”
Was it because of Kang Chengzhi again?
PEI Ling’s brows furrowed even more. However, this Xie Chang said that he and Kang Chengzhi were like brothers, but the meaning behind his words was that he wanted to gain something from him ... PEI Ling could not be bothered to waste words with him and calmly said, &Quot; it’s easy. Report it to the authorities. &Quot;
Xie Chang’s expression immediately turned cold.
In fact, although he and Kang Chengzhi were both independent alchemy Masters who came to the Empire under the rule of the nine luminaries mountain, they did have some friendship in the territory of the nine luminaries mountain.
But that was just a casual acquaintance.
After all, there were not many alchemists among rogue cultivators, and after a long time, they would always have some interactions.
Of course, he didn’t come to find Wang Gao to seek justice for Kang Chengzhi.
Instead, it was because they had heard that at the previous Alchemist trade fair, Wang Gao’s limelight was unparalleled, and the number of Supreme-grade pills in his hands had caused all the alchemists present to cast sidelong glances at him.
Therefore, Xie Chang felt that this was a very good opportunity to make a fortune!
However, this Wang Gaotai didn’t know how to appreciate favors!
He had already made it clear that as long as the other party offered some benefits as hush money, no one would pursue Kang Chengzhi’s death!
If Wang Gao’s reward was generous enough, Xie Chang could even announce to the public that his brother had returned to the nine luminaries mountain because of an urgent family matter.
But now, Wang Gao had no intention of talking to him at all. As expected, young people were really naive. Did they think that just because this was the glazed tile Empire, they could take advantage of the others ‘might and have peace?
At the thought of this, Xie Chang laughed coldly and stared at PEI Ling’s face. He said in a cold voice, ” “I’d like to see how long you can be so glorious!”
Then, he flicked his sleeves and left!
