Chapter 135

After a period of time, it was time for the monthly meeting of the stewards. Zhan Chen followed the group of stewards to gather at Liu Manfu's place. After handing over the Spiritual Medicines, he heard Liu Manfu say, "Everyone, don't be in a hurry to leave. I still have something to say."

All the stewards looked at him, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Liu Manfu continued, "It's like this. It's almost the end of the year again. This year, we've had a great harvest of Spiritual Medicines. Aside from the portion that we've given to the Saint, there are still many extra Spiritual Medicines. I'd like to send someone down the mountain to sell these Spiritual Medicines and exchange them for some Spiritual Medicine seeds."

When the stewards heard this, they all revealed a look of realization and started discussing. This was a good job. Not only would they be able to earn a lot of money, but they would also be able to go down the mountain for some fresh air. It would also make them feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Manfu glanced at the crowd and smiled, "Alright, I'll now choose a few people to go down the mountain to handle this matter. Huang Youshu, you've always been conscientious and conscientious, so I'll let you be the leader of this trip down the mountain! "

Huang Youshu turned around and looked at Zhan Chen with ill intentions. He smiled wretchedly and took a step forward. He bowed to Liu Manfu and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your appreciation. I'll do my best to complete this task!"

"Zhan Chen, Wang En, Li Guihua, Zhou Yongshun, the four of you will accompany Huang Youshu down the mountain. In the past, we've always gone down the mountain in groups of five so that we can look after each other and supervise each other. Remember, at the foot of the mountain, you must listen to Huang Youshu's instructions. "

"Yes! Lord Supervisor. " Zhan Chen followed the other three and bowed. However, he could not forget the way Huang Youshu had looked at him. He was on guard, "Something's wrong. There must be something wrong with this trip. I have to be careful!"

"However, there are risks and opportunities. Since I've broken through to mid-level Martial Honor, Huang Youshu can't do anything to me. As the saying goes, 'Soldiers will be dealt with with with arms'. This trip down the mountain will do me more harm than good. I can take the opportunity to walk around Moruo City and familiarize myself with the surroundings so that I can act in the future."

Ever since he came to Marat Sect, he had been locked up in the Saintess Peak. He had long wanted to come into contact with the outside world and further understand the situation of the Devil Sect. He wanted to see if there was any way to contact the Sect again.

After leaving the hall, Huang Youshu called the other four over and gathered them in a corner, "This time, I'm your leader. You have to listen to me when you go down the mountain, understand?"

The others looked at Huang Youshu with disdain. This brother-in-law of Liu Manfu was usually very arrogant, so no one liked him.

The only exception was Li Guihua. He flashed a flattering smile at Huang Youshu and asked, "Leader Huang, where are we going on this trip?"

Huang Youshu was very satisfied with Li Guihua's attitude. A rare smile appeared on his stinky face, revealing a few yellow and black teeth. He said, "Liu Guihua, you're a sensible person. The most important place we're going to this time is of course Devil Luo City. There's no time to lose, let's go down the mountain immediately."

Thus, the group followed behind Huang Youshu and left the Saintess Peak, heading in the direction of Moruo City.

Along the way, the group was clearly divided into three groups. Huang Youshu and Li Guihua walked at the front, chatting enthusiastically. Li Guihua was good at bootlicking and from time to time, he would make Huang Youshu laugh out loud.

Wang En and Zhou Yongshun walked in the middle, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Zhan Chen hung at the back of the group. He usually spent most of his energy on alchemy and cultivation, neglecting to socialize, so he was not familiar with any of them.

The group arrived at Moruo City. This time, Zhan Chen entered Moruo City again. His state of mind had changed greatly, and he could observe everything in this huge city in detail.

The wide streets, the row upon row of buildings, and the bustling market all gave him a deep impression.

Of course, there was also the dark side of this city, which was full of violence and blood.

Here, as long as it did not affect the Marat Sect's rule on the surface, everything was allowed. At every moment, killings were taking place in those inconspicuous corners.

Looking at the pedestrians on the road, most of them practiced demonic arts. Their eyes were filled with bloodlust and ruthlessness, like mad dogs that would pounce on each other at any time.

Zhan Chen's group of five arrived at a tall pavilion called Blood Pill Pavilion and walked in.

As soon as they entered, a female guest ran upstairs to report. Not long after, the manager of the Pill Pavilion came down to welcome them with a beaming face. He cupped his hands towards Huang Youshu and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Manager Huang. What an honored guest! As soon as I saw you, I knew there was a big business to be done. "

From his tone, it was obvious that he had not only met Huang Youshu once or twice.

Huang Youshu also put on a rare smile and said, "Manager Wu, let's go upstairs and talk!"

"Okay, please go upstairs!"

Everyone went together to the fifth floor and sat down according to the host and guest.

Manager Wu smiled at Huang Youshu and said, "Manager Huang, you are a big shot from Holy Maiden Peak. How is it? What good goods did you bring me this time?"

Huang Youshu faintly smiled and took off a Cosmos Sack from his waist and threw it to Manager Wu, saying, "See for yourself."

Manager Wu caught the Cosmos Sack and said with a smile, "Everyone, please wait for a moment. I need to go to the back and estimate the price of this batch of spirit herbs with my staff. Honored guests, please stay here and enjoy some tea, listen to a song, and have a good rest."

Thus, he took the Qiankun Bag, turned around, and went into the back room. A gorgeously dressed female singer walked over with a pipa in her arms and began to sing.

About half an hour later, Manager Wu came out from the back room with a smile and said to Huang Youshu, "Manager Huang, the quality and quantity of the spirit herbs this time are much better than the previous years."

"Then how much can you give me?" Huang Youshu stared at him and asked. This was the question he was most concerned about.

Manager Wu pondered for a moment and stretched out his hand.

"You mean fifty thousand high-grade primordial stones?"

"Correct."

"That's too little, I won't sell it!" Huang Youshu's mouth drooped even more and he shook his head.

Manager Wu was startled and thought, "This Huang Youshu is not someone who is easy to talk to. If I don't let him eat more, I'm afraid he will really leave."

Thereupon, he gritted his teeth and said, "Manager Huang, I can only give you sixty thousand high-grade primordial stones. If you are still not satisfied, then we don't need to do this business!"

Huang Youshu revealed a smile and said, "Alright, Shopkeeper Wu, who told us to know each other's ins and outs? I'll do this business with you! "

Thereupon, the two of them exchanged money and in the blink of an eye, Huang Youshu had earned sixty thousand high-grade primordial stones.

This made Zhan Chen, who had never seen so much money before, envious. He thought to himself, "Humph, this Huang Youshu has earned so many primordial stones in the blink of an eye. From his conversation with Manager Wu, I can tell that they have made more than one or two transactions. It is obvious how much profit there is!"

At this time, Huang Youshu said, "Manager Wu, I don't want to bother two people. Here is a list of spirit herb seeds. Take a look and see how many primordial stones you want."

As he spoke, he took out a long piece of paper from his Qiankun Bag. The list was filled with the number of spirit herb seeds he needed.

Manager Wu took the piece of paper and read it carefully. At the end, he said, "Manager Huang, I'll give you this number." As he said that, he stretched out three fingers.

"Three thousand high-grade primordial stones?" Huang Youshu asked casually.

"Hehe, Manager Huang, you really like to joke. It's thirty thousand."

"What did you say? Are you trying to run a scam? "Huang Youshu jumped up from his seat and shouted.

Manager Wu frowned and said, "Manager Huang, I didn't make a mistake. The number of spirit herb seeds on your list is very large, and there are many seventh and eighth grade spirit herb seeds. You must know their value."

"I don't care! I can only give you ten thousand high-grade primordial stones at most! "Huang Youshu said stubbornly.

"Ten thousand? You are too greedy! "Even Manager Wu, who always welcomed customers with a smile, couldn't help but shout.

The two of them discussed for a while, but it was still fruitless. Huang Youshu then led the four people downstairs.

Looking at his fat back, Zhan Chen sneered, "Humph, this Huang Youshu is really scheming. He took sixty thousand for a spirit herb that is worth fifty thousand, but he only asked for ten thousand for a seed that is worth thirty thousand. If he succeeds, there will be a difference of thirty thousand high-grade primordial stones. It seems like the trickery of this spirit herb lies in the way the primordial stones come in and out. This pair of dog relatives, Liu Manfu and Huang Youshu, have earned a lot of money from this. "

After that, they went to a few other spirit herb pavilions, wanting to buy the seeds. However, Huang Youshu, this damn fatty, set the price as soon as he entered, causing all the transactions to fail.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the group of people had no choice but to find a hotel to stay in.

That night, Huang Youshu drank alone in his room. He had two things on his mind: First, how to buy the spirit herb seeds at a lower price and make as much profit as possible. Second, how to get rid of Zhan Chen.

Or, in other words, getting rid of Zhan Chen was his main goal. He couldn't help but recall the night before he went down the mountain, when he went to see his brother-in-law alone.

He had begged his brother-in-law to drag Zhan Chen down the mountain, giving him a chance to kill him with his own hands.

Unfortunately, there were many people on the road from Holy Maiden Peak to Moruo City. Furthermore, there were three other stewards following him. He had not been able to think of a good way to kill him without leaving any traces.

"That lowly slave, Zhan Chen, is only a mid-level Martial Honor. If I wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping my hand. Unfortunately, if I attacked him on Holy Maiden Peak, he would die early. That's why I sent him down the mountain. However, how can I trick him into a dark corner and kill him?" Huang Youshu muttered to himself.

Normally, he only knew how to act like a tyrant and order people around. However, when it came to brainstorming, he was not good at it. After pondering for a whole day, he still could not come up with anything.

At this moment, there was a series of knocks on the door. He could not help but call out in annoyance, "Who is it?"

"Leader Huang, it's me, Li Guihua. I have something to discuss with you in private."

"Is it Li Guihua?" Huang Youshu recalled that along the way, this person seemed to have the intention of befriending him. Thus, he got up and opened the door for him.

After the two of them had finished greeting each other, Li Guihua sized Huang Youshu up and smiled, "Leader Huang, I see that you look unhappy. You must have something on your mind, right?"

"Why would I have anything on my mind?" Huang Youshu tried to cover it up.

Li Guihua ignored his rebuttal and continued, "Let me guess why Steward Huang is so distressed. Firstly, it's the seeds. Secondly, it's Zhan Chen!"
