Seven days later, it was the appointed time.
Fang Xing disguised himself as a little Daoist boy and went to Hua Qianzhi's place to take back the "Stone Essence Powder". Hua Qianzhi was still thinking about the remaining twenty spirit stones, but Fang Xing told him that the Stone Essence Powder would be taken back to be examined. If it was seventy percent similar, there would naturally be the remaining twenty spirit stones for him. If it was too easy to be seen through, then forget about the spirit stones. Everyone would be interrogated by Daoism together!
These words gave Hua Qianzhi a fright. He immediately chased Fang Xing back to the door and went back to his room to sort it out before taking it back.
After leaving the Black Rock Valley, Fang Xing took a closer look and saw that it was a bag of glistening yellow earth-like essence grains. It was at least half a jin and emitted dense spiritual energy. Once the bag was opened, it seemed as if a spiritual light was about to soar into the sky.
He hurriedly closed the bag and did not open it outside. He prepared to return to the wooden house to examine it in detail.
"I wonder if the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror can identify this fake thing?" Fang Xing was still pondering.
But most likely not. The Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror was after all an item similar to a magic tool. It did not have its own life force. It could identify the real thing, but it might not be able to identify how similar it was.
After returning to the wooden house, he really could not see anything.
In the eyes of the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror, this was just a pile of ordinary rock essence that had been soaked in spiritual liquid. It was extremely simple.
Of course, the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror could only see its raw materials. It was not so simple to actually make it. Hua Qianzhi also used many other methods to make this ordinary rock essence look like the real thing, be it the touch, the color, the smell, or even the taste of the mouth. But these ordinary methods were not something that the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror could identify.
"Since this guy dares to take it out, it means that he has some confidence. I'll take a risk!"
In fact, Fang Xing had not seen the real Stone Essence Powder before, but he decided to take a risk.
After all, just like what his uncle had said, how could there be so many perfect things in this world waiting to be taken advantage of?
Since he wanted to eat this bowl of rice, he had to put his head on the waist of his pants!
With this idea in mind, Fang Xing prepared for another two days. He brought the dagger, the tobacco pot, the Nine-Snake Golden Flame Sword, and even the Pear Blossom Storm Nail that he had used once before. He also went through the plan in his little head to make sure that he had done the best he could and that everything else depended on his own adaptability and God's will. Only then did he put on the Wanluo Ghost Mask.
The risk they had taken this time could not be said to be small. After all, Hou Qing had a high cultivation and was ruthless. Furthermore, he did not look like a fool.
Fang Xing could only hope that Hou Qing hadn't seen the Stone Essence Powder many times, so his ability to distinguish it was naturally lower.
This speculation should be correct. If Hou Qingzhen could see Stone Essence Powder from time to time, he probably wouldn't have such a headache over it.
After waiting until the hour of the night, Fang Xing, who had already disguised himself as a different person, slipped out of the valley and headed straight for the agreed upon location.
There was only a crescent moon in the sky that night, so it was not very bright. Fortunately, Fang Xing's cultivation had already passed the second layer. Although he could not see things in the dark like it was daytime, his vision was much better and he could clearly see the appearance of people ten zhang away.
Fang Xing was actually quite satisfied with this kind of light. After all, the darker the sky, the less likely it was for Hou Qing to discover that the Stone Essence Powder was fake.
Under the curtain of the night, a slender figure flew up the mountain, flashing between the trees like an ape or a fox with the speed of lightning.
Not long after, he arrived at the top of the mountain. However, there was no one there, and the surroundings were completely silent.
Fang Xing clapped his hands together and struck out three times, then listened attentively.
"Senior Martial Brother, you're late by an hour. You made me wait!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him. Fang Xing hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Hou Qing with a white veil covering his face.
"I told you to come at nine o 'clock, but I didn't say that I would come at nine o' clock!"
Fang Xing coldly smiled and stretched out his hand. "Where's the Demon Spirit Pill?"
Hou Qing coldly asked, "Where's the Stone Essence Powder?"
Fang Xing chuckled and took out a small pouch from his bosom. He fiddled with it in his hand and said, "You better not play any tricks. For this thing, I can be said to be treading on thin ice. I was almost discovered by that woman!"
He casually made up a story, and it was very realistic.
He knew from a young age that when lying, the more detailed the better. The more detailed, the easier it would be for others to believe it. Of course, if the other party knew something, then it would be better if it was rough, because the more detailed it was, the easier it would be for the other party to find flaws.
Hou Qing's breathing was a little rough as he solemnly said, "Give it to me!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to take it.
However, Fang Xing suddenly took a step back and sneered, "I don't trust you. Give me the Demon Spirit Pill first!"
Hou Qing stopped, slowly shook his head, and solemnly said, "Together!"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Alright!"
The two of them each took a small bag and handed it over to each other with their left hands.
The reason why they handed it over with their left hand was because the right hand was more flexible and could prevent unexpected situations from happening.
Whoosh …
The moment his fingers touched the bag, he quickly retracted his hand and the bag in his left hand was taken by the other party.
Both of them moved at the same time and quickly opened the pouch to check. Fang Xing looked inside the pouch and saw a small porcelain bottle and a small pile of bright red spirit stones. He glanced over and estimated that the number of spirit stones should be quite good. Then, he glanced at Hou Qing from the corner of his eye and discovered that he was also checking the Stone Essence powder in the pouch. At the same time, his gaze drifted over to Fang Xing, and his eyes seemed to flicker …
Fang Xing's heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was wrong.
This gaze was too similar to his own. It was obvious that he had a guilty conscience...
He naturally had a guilty conscience in his heart because the Stone Essence Powder was fake. Then why was Hou Qing's gaze flickering?
His reaction was very fast, and he immediately thought of a possibility. He reached out and took out the small bottle, pulled out the stopper, and carefully examined it. His expression immediately changed, and he flew into a rage. With a "pa" sound, he threw the bottle to the ground, and hatefully glared at Hou Qing. He shouted, "Bastard, I took a great risk to get you the Stone Essence Powder, and you dare to use this broken thing to deceive me?"
But it turned out that with just one glance, he had already discovered that this Demon Spirit Pill was not the real Demon Spirit Pill, but a supplementary pill. When refining pills, there are some special pill recipes that, in order to preserve as much spiritual energy as possible, will refine all of the spiritual energy into the main pill. At the same time, there will be side pills in the furnace.
Although on the surface, the side pill and the main pill are the same pill, the effects are completely different.
Strictly speaking, it's not wrong to call the side pill a fake pill.
The reason why Fang Xing was angry was because this Demon Spirit Pill was not the one he had promised.
That one was full of spiritual energy and had a miraculous effect. This one had the same appearance and smell, but the spiritual energy inside was completely different.
Hou Qing had already checked the Stone Essence Powder and didn't find anything wrong with it. Also, when Fang Xing was angry, he didn't forget to say that he had taken a big risk to steal the Stone Essence Powder. The anger on his face didn't seem fake. This made Hou Qing even more certain that this Stone Essence Powder was the real deal. He put it in his pocket and sneered. "That is also a Demon Spirit Pill, what's wrong with it?"
"Brat, don't play this game with me. You dare to take advantage of me, so you better be prepared to pay the price!"
Fang Xing ruthlessly threatened. He had already hinted to Hou Qing that he had someone above him. Naturally, at this moment, he put on the airs of a rich second generation.
Hou Qing coldly smiled and said, "So what? I've already checked when you came up. You came alone, and no one followed you. Don't tell me you're thinking of using force to keep me here? Hmph, I've never been afraid of anyone! As for revenge … Do you think I'm a fool? Once I leave this mountain, you can find me however you want among the thousands of Dao Sect disciples. Haha! "
He thought that he had taken a big advantage. He coldly looked at Fang Xing, then turned around and left.
Hou Qing dared to do this because he was sure that Fang Xing didn't know his identity. Since he had taken advantage of him, Hou Qing couldn't do anything to him. In addition, since the Stone Essence Powder was stolen by Fang Xing, then Fang Xing definitely wouldn't dare to make it public. Otherwise, if things got out of hand, Hou Qing would be fine, but once the Taoist sect investigated, the person who stole the Stone Essence Powder would definitely be out of luck.
In addition, the Demon Spirit Pill was too important. He didn't want to give it away like this, so he decided to take the risk.
Of course, this was also based on his confidence in his own strength. He was sure that Fang Xing couldn't do anything to him!
As for Fang Xing, he suddenly became anxious. He thought, "I'm a real bandit. Am I going to be cheated on by this bastard?
No, I'm going to rebel against him!
I have to scare him! "
Thinking about this, Fang Xing blurted out, "Hou Qing, do you really think that I don't know your identity?"
Hou Qing, who had already retreated more than a hundred feet away, was shocked. His figure instantly flew back, his eyes filled with killing intent. He formed a sword seal with his hand, and a silver light flew out from the leather pouch at his waist. He pointed at Fang Xing and asked, "How did you know my identity?"
Fang Xing's mind raced. He was always quick-witted, but he was forced to do so by those bastards in the Ghost Smoke Valley.
At this moment, he began to quickly think about every detail of his interaction with Hou Qing and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
