Ning Qi followed Xiang Yan to her cave abode in the Stone River Pill Sect. Her position in the Stone River Pill Sect did not seem to be too high. She did not have her own mountain. Not far from her cave abode were the cave abodes of two other inner sect geniuses.
"Xu Shilu attacked you?"
After returning to the cave abode, Xiang Yan was silent for a while and suddenly looked at Ning Qi suspiciously. Previously, when she was knocked unconscious by Xu Shilu, she had no recollection of what happened after. She only knew that when she woke up, Xu Shilu was already gone. However, Ning Qi didn't have any injuries on him. This made her suspicious. Could it be that Xu Shilu took Ning Qi's top grade Tier 2 Earth Spiritual Pill?
Did he just leave the Stone River Pill Sect like that?
"No, he left in a hurry."
Ning Qi smiled.
"That's good. It's all my fault. Xu Shilu's background is unclear and I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect him to be so shameless."
Xiang Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although there were still a few doubtful points in Ning Qi's explanation, Xiang Yan felt that this was the only explanation that could explain why Xu Shirou didn't attack Ning Qi and instead disappeared into the basement.
As for pursuing Xu Shirou's responsibility, Xiang Yan had never thought about it. After all, she was just a weak inner sect disciple. Her background in the sect was not as strong as Hua Longjun's. If she could avoid becoming enemies with a Heaven Immortal, she naturally would not want to.
"Senior Sister Xiang Yan, the Ancient Demon's poison …"
Ning Qi smiled.
"I'll help you arrange it. However, to prevent something like this from happening again, I think it's necessary for me to visit my Master."
Xiang Yan said.
"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Xiang Yan."
Ning Qi smiled.
"But …"
Xiang Yan had a strange look on her face.
"Senior Sister Xiang Yan, is there something you can't tell me?"
Ning Qi asked.
"My master is an eccentric person. If you want to ask for his help, even as his disciple, you will have to offer a reward. Your five hundred thousand top-grade Tier 2 Earth Spiritual Pills might only be able to exchange for nine hundred thousand bottles of Ancient Demon Poison."
Xiang Yan blushed.
"Nine hundred thousand?"
Ning Qi's eyes flickered.
"Do you think the pay is too high? This is just a suggestion. After all, although my Master wants to ask for a reward, he is an honorable person, unlike Xu Shirou who is shameless. With his help, you can successfully exchange for the Ancient Devil's Poison without any complications. "
Xiang Yan said.
"900,000 it is. But can you do it as soon as possible?"
Ning Qi thought about it and nodded.
"If I'm slow, I'll take five days. If I'm fast, I'll take a day. Wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
Xiang Yan nodded and left.
Ning Qi scanned his surroundings and smiled. With a slight movement of his body, he disappeared on the spot. For the sake of the Ancient Demon Poison, he had been refining top-grade Tier 2 Earth Spiritual Pills whenever he was free. He still had a lot of the spiritual materials that Ying Zhenxuan had traded for previously.
…
In the basement.
"Xu Shi 'er is dead."
An old man looked at the crater created by the Mountain and River Purple Golden Hammer and said faintly. As soon as he said this, the strong men beside him and Hua Longjun were shocked. Xu Shilu was the Deacon Elder of the Stone River Pill Sect. How could he be killed in the basement?
How could this be? After Xu Shir disappeared, Hua Longjun immediately spread the news. After all, Xu Shir had been guarding the underground vault and had disappeared for no reason. Who knew if he had used his position for personal gain and stolen the cultivation resources in the vault. Therefore, Hua Longjun spread the news. However, he did not know about the small incident.
However, he didn't mention a word about it.
He didn't expect that the Great Elder of the Stone River Pill Sect, Ying Chuan Feng, who was one of the top five elders of the Stone River Pill Sect, would personally come to the basement and conclude that Xu Shi 'er was dead.
"Elder Chuan Feng, is this true? Although Xu Shi 'er was only at the early Heaven Immortal Stage, who could kill him in our Stone River Pill Sect without anyone knowing? "
Hua Chongguang couldn't help but glare at Hua Longjun fiercely. Then, he cupped his fists towards Ying Chuan Feng respectfully.
The rest of the strong men also looked at Ying Chuan Feng. Their status in the Stone River Pill Sect was higher than Xu Shirou's. They were all mid or late Heaven Immortal experts. However, they didn't dare to show any disrespect in front of Ying Chuan Feng, an early Golden Immortal Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"You'll have to ask your son about this."
Ying Chuan Feng looked at Hua Longjun indifferently. "What happened in the basement? Tell me honestly. If there's a single lie, I won't forgive you."
Hua Longjun felt a chill down his spine. The followers beside him also revealed a look of fear. They couldn't help but tremble.
In the end, Hua Longjun could only tell the 'truth'. In his narration, he became a bystander who didn't want to offend Xu Shi 'er.
"Xu Shi 'er really can't change his ways. Letting him join our Stone River Pill Sect was really a bad idea!"
Hua Chongguang couldn't help but curse.
"Now isn't the time to pursue this matter. Where is that sallow middle-aged man now?"
Ying Chuan Feng said indifferently.
Hua Longjun quickly said, "He was taken away by Junior Sister Xiang Yan. I think he should be in Junior Sister Xiang Yan's cave abode."
"Bring this person to the Hall of Discipline. I want to ask him."
Ying Chuan Feng snorted coldly and walked out.
"Longjun, were you involved in Xu Shi 'er's matter?!"
After all, it was 500,000 top grade Earth Spiritual Pills. Hua Chongguang felt that if he was in the same situation, he would also be tempted to do something evil.
"No, no!"
Hua Longjun hurriedly shook his head. Previously, he had been communicating with Xu Shir telepathically. Only a few of his lackeys could tell what he was trying to say, but there was no concrete evidence.
"That's good. Bring that sallow man to the Hall of Discipline. Oh, never mind, I'll go with you."
Hua Chongguang sneered.
Xu Shirou's death was very strange. Although he didn't think that a Great Circle of Human Immortal could kill an early Heaven Immortal, he felt that Xu Shirou was most likely killed by the existence that was chasing him. However, just in case, he still decided to go there himself.
… …
"My master agreed to give me 500,000 top grade Earth Spiritual Pills. I'll bring them to him. He said that you don't need to show yourself."
When Xiang Yan returned to the cave abode, Ning Qi had already left the peak grade Earth Spiritual Pills. In this short period of time, he had concocted many top grade Earth Spiritual Pills.
"Forget it, I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Xiang Yan this time."
After a few breaths of silence, Ning Qi smiled, "I won't exchange the ancient devil poison for now. I'll take my leave first." First, there was Xu Shi. Ning Qi already didn't trust the people in the Stone River Pill Sect. If it wasn't for Ying Zhenxuan saying that Xiang Yan was completely trustworthy, Ning Qi would have already left. Now that Xiang Yan's master wanted him to hand over the Earth Spiritual Pills, Ning Qi felt that he would be a fool to do so.
Son.
