C100

Heaven's Eye Mountain.

In the depths of the forest, under a large tree, was a relatively clean clearing.

Under the dense and tall treetops, other than the vines that twined around the tree trunk, there were no other weeds. This place was well hidden, and with the protection of the bamboo branches, Lin City would be able to refine pills in peace.

This was already the fourth day after the two of them had agreed on a plan!

After checking out the situation in the mines, Lin City's plan had definitely changed. Chu Qiuchi was an important figure in the Chu Family, if they caught him, they should be able to find out where the Chu Family's spirit stone vein was.

But to capture Chu Qiuchi and the steward, it was not that easy.

Not to mention the fact that there were so many laborers and servants in the mine, just the Chu Qiuchi duo were already experts!

According to Zhu Ziguo, all the stewards of the Chu Family were at the Arterial Circulation Realm, who had been famous for a long time in Ci City. Their strength was astonishing, and even their old rival, the Wen Family, did not dare to easily offend the stewards of the Chu Family.

As for Chu Qiuchi, the look that this person shot over at Lin City seven days ago already let Lin City clearly know this person's strength. Neither of these two experts were easy to deal with.

Thus, if he wanted to capture the two of them, he couldn't do so directly. Lin Cheng had decided to use a special method.

"Gu Gu"

In the pill furnace, the medicinal liquid within was already boiling. Lin Cheng's expression was calm as he stared at the pill furnace, completely focused.

Lin City had only refined ordinary poisons, so the medicinal properties weren't that strong. Furthermore, those who were poisoned wouldn't die, only their entire body would be paralyzed and they would feel dizzy.

However, this kind of poison had one drawback, which was that it had a slight smell. Ordinary people might not be able to detect it, but Arterial Circulation Realm experts would definitely be able to easily distinguish it.

So Lin City needed to refine and detoxify the medicine, as well as remove the smell as much as possible. Otherwise, Chu Qiuchi would have already sensed that something was wrong, not to mention obediently taking it.

The bamboo stick stood on guard in the distance. Its pair of beautiful eyes constantly scanned its surroundings and the distance. Then, it looked at Lin City, which was currently refining pills. Its eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of splendor.

This was not the first time Zhu Ziyang had seen Lin City concoct pills.

Half a year ago, Lin City had concocted a pill right in front of her face. However, at that time, she was completely deceived by Lin City, and she truly believed that she had swallowed poison. She had been on tenterhooks for two or three months, and just thinking about it made her grind her teeth in hatred.

Later on in the Boundless Forest, Lin City had also refined a pill. Upon seeing Lin City's pill concocting skills, the bamboo shoot up and it gave off a breathtaking feeling!

Just like now!

Lin City's pill refining techniques were not very repetitive, and the movements of his hands were not particularly fast either. Compared to the other pill refiners that Zhu Ziquan had seen before, Lin Cheng's hands were slightly slower, especially the interlacing of his fingers.

However, even though it was not fast, it did not make people feel sluggish or sluggish at all. Instead, it had an indescribable charm to it, as if the finger techniques used to concoct pills were originally like this.

It was as if there was a unique rhythm to it, as if everything was flowing smoothly. It made people subconsciously immerse themselves within it, and their hearts filled with admiration.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

Zhu Ziyang snapped back to reality and saw Lin Cheng's palm strike the medicinal furnace. The lid of the furnace shot up into the air, tumbling a few times before landing accurately on a bundle on the ground.

He looked at the cauldron in front of Lin City and saw wisps of green smoke emitting from it. These wisps of smoke obscured Lin City's face, making bamboo almost feel like he was looking up at a pill master.

"What are you acting so stupid for!"

Lin Cheng's voice, which carried a mischievous smile, brought Zhu Ziyang back to her senses. Her pretty face immediately blushed a little as she rolled her eyes at Lin Cheng and asked, "Have you finished concocting the pills?"

Lin Cheng snickered, "They're not worthy enough to concoct the pills. Just the medicinal liquid is enough."

Bamboo Shoot asked suspiciously, "A solution? Chu Qiuchi and that manager are both experts, are the effects of the medicine enough? "

The medicine was not just a little worse than the pills, she was worried if Chu Qiuchi and that steward would be poisoned.

Lin Cheng smiled, "The medicinal effects?" You'll know soon enough. "

Bamboo Shoot did find out very quickly.

Just one night later, in the early morning of the next day, the entire mining field had become silent. The mining field, which should have been bustling with noise and excitement, was now completely silent.

"Bam!"

Zhu Ziyang threw one of the guards onto the ground, his beautiful eyes filled with unconcealable astonishment. He looked at Lin City who was standing opposite of him with a smile and asked, "What's going on? We did it?"

Lin Cheng smiled, "Little girl, how's the medicinal strength of the pill?"

Zhu Zifu was speechless. He obviously knew that to an alchemist, refining poisons was much easier than concocting pills.

However, a small bottle of medicinal liquid had actually caused all the laborers and servants in the mining field to faint. Even Chu Qiuchi and the steward were no exception, this couldn't help but shock Zhu Ziquan.

There were more than two thousand people here, yet such a small bottle of medicinal liquid was able to produce such a shocking effect?!

What shocked Zhui Qiuquan even more was that she had personally witnessed Lin City pouring the medicinal liquid into the mine's drinking water source, but because Chu Qiuchi and the steward, whether they were eating or drinking, were all separate small stoves, Lin Cheng had poured at least half of the medicinal liquid into their water source.

The remaining half was poured into the water sources of the laborers and handymen.

This also meant that with just half the medicinal liquid, over 2,000 people would have already fainted. If Lin City wanted their lives, wouldn't it be easy for them to harvest thousands of lives just by concocting a little poison?

This was the first time that Zhu Ziyang realized the power and might of an apothecary, and he also gained a clear understanding of Lin City's pill forging standards.

When she looked at Lin City, her eyes couldn't help but shine with a strange light.

"It's all been cleaned up?" Lin Cheng asked with a smile.

"This is the last one." Bamboo Fork said, "Did you clean it up over there?"

"Here!"

Lin City casually pointed his finger, and as the bamboo followed his gaze, they immediately saw a group of guards lying on the ground in a disorderly fashion. These guards were all in charge of patrolling the mine, and because they were patrolling it, they were not poisoned.

However, most of these guards were in the Emperor's Hall and were easily knocked out by Zhu Ziyang and Lin Cheng.

Even if there were a few experts of the Pulse Wheel Realm among them, they were only at the early Pulse Wheel Realm. Even Bamboo Hill was able to easily defeat them, let alone Lin City, not to mention sneaking an attack on them, these people were captured without even being able to put up a fight.

"How long can the medicinal liquid you refined last?" Do you want to tie these people up? " Zhu Zifu asked.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't plan to stay here for long, you won't have to worry about this problem." Lin Cheng chuckled, "Let's go meet that Second Master Chu!"

A splitting headache!

This was the first feeling Chu Qiuchi had when he woke up.

The pain in his head made him frown. He subconsciously circulated his elemental energy, but in the next moment, his heart suddenly thumped. This was because he discovered that his elemental energy, which was originally so abundant in his body, was unable to circulate!

Chu Qiuchi immediately panicked. He quickly used his consciousness to check the meridian wheel in his meridian, only to find that the meridian wheel in his body was still spinning. However, the speed of its rotation was shockingly slow, compared to before, it was like the difference between clouds and mud!

"What's going on? How can I... Could it be that I forcefully absorbed the spirit stones to raise my strength, causing my body to be unable to withstand the enormous amount of energy? "

"Or was it something else? "That's right, the food …"

Chu Qiuchi suddenly recalled that not long after he ate his breakfast, he felt dizzy and quickly lost consciousness … There was a problem with the food!

Chu Qiuchi instantly understood that someone was scheming against him, adding some kind of sleeping powder to the meal. Perhaps it was some other poison, but the result was the same — the other party had succeeded!

Who is it?

Who was it that wanted to do something to him?

The Wen Family, adventurers, or perhaps … The news of the Spirit Stones had been leaked out, and it had even attracted cultivators over?!

"Second Master Chu!"

Suddenly, a calm voice entered his ears. Chu Qiuchi, who had been in a panic, suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice. Immediately after, his expression changed.

In front of him, there was an adventurer wearing a young man's outfit. The young man was staring at him with a calm expression. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It was actually a young man?

At this moment, Chu Qiuchi was in a trance, he almost couldn't believe that he fell into the hands of a youth!

"You …"

Chu Qiuchi took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. He asked in a deep voice, "This little brother, who are you? I wonder if our Chu Clan has offended little brother …"

Before he could finish his words, he abruptly stopped.

It was because he saw a small bag that was not too eye-catching appearing in the young man's hand, but when Chu Qiuchi saw it, his pupils suddenly constricted.

A storage bag!

He recognized this storage bag!

In the next moment, Chu Qiuchi blurted out, "You are the person pretending to be a disciple of the sect? You actually dare to come here?! "

Chu Qiuchi knew that half a year ago, when Chu Kuangwei and the others were chasing after Lu Yuanshan who had stolen the treasures from the Immortal Graveyard, they encountered a young man who had pretended to be a disciple of a sect and had been tricked by that young man and the young lady of the Wen family, Zhu Ziquan.

Now that he thought about it, this should be the young man in front of him!

"Impersonate a disciple that's returned to the sect?"

When Lin Cheng heard this, he shook his head and laughed. "Second Master Chu, not only do I dare to come, I also want something from you!"

Chu Qiuchi asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"Spirit stones!"
