Robbery at gunpoint

  "Thirty-two pills of Yuan Dan, a total of 15,680 spiritual coins. Young man, do you want to pay in cash or by card?"

  The old man calculated the total number of spiritual coins and suddenly felt a sharp pain, much more than he had imagined.

  "Swipe your card!"

  Chu Xiao took out a spirit card.

  The old man nodded and immediately transferred over 10,000 spiritual coins from his own spiritual card to Chu Xiao's card.

  "Kid, you're really good at negotiating prices. If there's any more of this quality elixir in the future, be sure to send it my way and I'll guarantee you the highest price."

  He could see that Chu Xiao should be able to get this high-quality elixir, and naturally didn't want to let go of such a channel, so he promised on the spot.

  "Alright, hopefully next time your inspection device won't have any problems again. I suggest you replace it with a new one."

  Chu Xiao smiled and said.

  The old man smiled awkwardly, and he already knew what Chu Xiao meant.

  As he walked out of the acquisition shop, the sky had already darkened somewhat. Chu Xiao patted the spirit card in his pocket, feeling quite pleased with himself - this was something he had earned through hard work. Immediately, his brow furrowed, every time he refined pills or made talismans, it consumed a lot of mental energy, looks like he needed to get some restorative pills for his mental energy, best would be the Aggregating Spirit Pill, a mid-grade spirit pill, only its price was extremely expensive.

  On the Dan medicine floor of Shu Mountain Department Store. He had seen a kind of Dan medicine that had some effect on restoring one's mental state - Hui Shen Dan, a human-grade absolute treasure.

  It seems that I need to improve my cultivation, and soon refine this Rejuvenation Pill. After all, buying it directly would cost more than 3,000 spiritual coins per piece, which is not worth it.

  However, restorative elixirs have always been extremely expensive.

  If you make it yourself, it will be much cheaper.

  The pill formula for Huishen Dan has been recorded in the Xiuzhen system, and as long as it's optimized a bit, I can refine it myself.

  Taking the bus back home, Chu Xiao clearly felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit off. Normally at this time, there would be the sound of Chu Yao's crisp laughter and the voices of family members talking, but now it was so quiet.

  "Xiao Xiao, where have you been? Why are you back so late?" Li Yuyuan asked with concern.

  "Went to Ziyun Street for a stroll, bought some clothes. Mom, what's wrong today? Why is it so quiet? And where's Dad?"

  Chu Xiao said with a strange expression.

  "It's not just about the insecticide, your dad and second uncle haven't come back yet."

  Li Yuwen said helplessly.

  "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the factory audit?" He knew that today his dad and second uncle would definitely be busy dealing with the factory.

  "It's not about that, someone came to the store today looking for your dad, hoping he would transfer the formula for the insecticide."

  Li Yuyuan shook her head.

  "Who is Zhang Fang?"

  Chu Xiao's eyebrows slightly furrowed, it seemed that her expectations were not off the mark. Once the news of the extermination of the Gu spirit and the insecticide spread, things would probably not remain calm.

  "Shu Mountain."

  Li Yuwen only said two words.

  "How much did they bid?"

  Chu Xiao's heart sank, no wonder his mother had been frowning and looking worried all the time, Shu Mountain was indeed a formidable entity.

  "Two billion spiritual coins, transfer registration Dan formula."

  Li Yuwen said with some indignation.

  "Hmph, thinking of taking Danfeng for oneself with just 200 million? What a ridiculous dream. Even if it were two billion or twenty billion, don't even think about it."

  Chu Xiao's face changed slightly, and a surge of anger rose up immediately. This was simply outrageous.

  Although the Linghu insecticide was nothing to him, he would not allow his own achievements to be forcibly taken away by others. If there was a first time, there might be a second time, and when that happened, it wouldn't be up to him to decide what to do with his own flesh.

  "I'll go find Old Bi tomorrow!"

  Chu Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly said.

  He smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he still had to rely on others' power, the fox borrows the tiger's might, without real strength, no matter where, he was just a weakling, under the strong power and strong momentum, all were fragile and vulnerable, if there was no Bi Changchun this Taoist way, I'm afraid the elixir formula of Gu Ling Mie Chong would be hard to keep.

  A resolute glint flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes. Only by grasping powerful forces and a lofty position could he ensure his own safety.

  With the Cultivation System, as long as I manage it well, obtaining these things won't be a difficult task.

  For the first time, Chu Xiao felt a sense of urgency.

  "It's just like this, hopefully it's useful."

  Li Yuyuan sighed.

  After all, Shu Mountain belongs to a super financial group and is the most powerful force at the top of the Xiu Zhen Alliance. Bi Changchun is just the president of a third-tier city's branch and a Dan refining master. Although his status in Purple Cloud City is extremely high, it's somewhat insignificant in the entire vast Xiu Zhen Alliance.

  Chu Xiao didn't think so, although he was lazy and careless by nature, his intelligence was extremely high, and he could find the essence of things from subtle clues.

  This time, the people who forcibly bought the insecticide may not necessarily be official personnel of Shu Shan, but rather may have borrowed the name of Shu Shan.

  The most likely scenario is that someone within Shu Shan got wind of the news about the Ling Er Mie Chong liquid from the Dan Hui meeting, and had the idea to monopolize it for themselves. Then, using the Shu Shan brand as leverage, they pressured the Chu army into handing over the registered Dan formula for the Ling Er Mie Chong liquid. This plan was very cunningly thought out, even if the Chu army found out, there would be nothing they could do about it, and they wouldn't be able to resist at all.

  If it's really like this, then things have taken a turn for the better and Bi Changchun has the possibility of intervening.

  Of course, there is also a possibility that the fifth-grade alchemist Zhang Yuantian leaked the news of the insecticidal liquid and set up a plot to obtain the registered Dan method.

  Not ruling out this possibility makes it even more fearless.

  All in all, Chu Xiao still has confidence in protecting the ownership of the insecticide.

  After a long time, Chu Jun and Second Uncle Li Kai Fang finally came back.

  Li Kai Fang is a rather elegant little whisker, with hair and beard combed meticulously, carrying a kind of unique rigor.

  Such temperament is quite trustworthy in the eyes of outsiders.

  However, Chu Xiao knew that this second uncle had a humorous and interesting personality, with a very showy behavior style, which was completely different from his appearance.

  Both of them looked tired on their faces, it was clear that both were under a lot of pressure.

  "Xiao Xiao, come here and let your uncle take a closer look at this genius who has opened up our family's eyes."

  Li Kai Fang's humorous tone broke the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

  Chu Xiao broke out in a cold sweat, and his second uncle's voice was so awkward that it sounded wrong no matter how he listened to it!

  However, Chu Xiao still walked over and called out "Uncle", looking at the worried face of Chu Jun said: "Dad, I'll go find Bi Lao tomorrow, if that person is not an official from Shu Shan, there's still a chance to turn things around."

  Xiao Xiao is right, as long as we've got Bi Changchun's connection, that so-called Shu Shan person isn't even worth mentioning. Hmph, thinking of acquiring Dan Fang for just 200 million? Don't even think about it.

  Li Kai Fang slapped the table and coldly snorted.

  The Chu army's expression also eased up a lot and nodded.

  Dinner was quite lively, with the addition of a humorous and witty second uncle. The conversation flowed continuously, and laughter erupted from time to time, dispelling the previous atmosphere, and everyone's mood became more relaxed.
