Chapter 39 Dragon Blood Pill in Hand! Great Harvest!

Wen Zhong wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't make a sound even though he opened his mouth.

Moreover, the complete Third-Class realm inner strength in his body couldn't be stirred up at all!

Then.

He saw an old man with a wax-yellow face and a dogskin hat appear on the wall and leap down to the ground.

In the old man's hand was a cold gleaming dagger, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Don't... don't kill me."

Wen Zhong's eyes were filled with fear and despair, his heart screaming wildly but unable to utter a sound.

As one of Li Hongfei's guards, although he earned a good amount of silver every month, when faced with a life-threatening situation, he was the first to flee. What's the point of playing with his life? But now he was obviously poisoned, turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"You're Li Hongfei's lackeys, doing all sorts of bad deeds. Die!"

Qin Wang's eyes flashed with killing intent. He wielded the dagger and slashed the throats of two guards. Blood splattered, and the two guards died with fear and dim eyes.

To obtain the Dragon Blood Pills and Tiger Blood Pills, it was best to eliminate them once and for all. It would be troublesome if anything went wrong.

These two guards.

Following Li Hongfei, they must have done many bad deeds.

At the same time.

Two illusory figures floated up from their bodies and were sucked into Qin Wang's Soul Gathering Bowl.

Qin Wang then proceeded towards the four large wolf-like dogs. One by one, he dealt with them. He noticed that four faint shadows also floated up from the bodies of the four large wolves, sucked away by the Soul Gathering Bowl.

After eliminating the two guards and four large wolves, Qin Wang immediately headed towards Li Hongfei's pill refining room.

Li Hongfei was indeed the owner of a pharmacy.

The villa was quite large.

Inside were many luxurious rooms. According to the intelligence, Qin Wang headed straight for the last study room.

The study room was about three zhang in diameter, with cupboards on two walls containing some books.

On one wall hung a painting of eight horses.

Qin Wang approached and lifted the painting of eight horses, revealing a circular ring underneath. Qin Wang immediately pressed down on the ring.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

A series of mechanical sounds echoed.

The cupboard on the side of the study room slid backward, revealing a door in the side wall with eighteen stone steps leading downward.

In the underground room.

The design was very clever, with light coming in from the corners. Going down the steps, there was a corridor one zhang wide, with copper lamps embedded every one zhang on the walls.

Rooms lined both sides.

"The Dragon Blood Pills are stored in the third cupboard of the dan room in the underground room!"

"The copper lamp on the right side of the dan room's door can be pushed upwards to open the dan room!"

Following the intelligence, Qin Wang arrived at the door of the third dan room. Indeed, there was a copper lamp on the right side. The lamp appeared smooth on the outside, indicating frequent use. Qin Wang immediately approached and pushed it upwards!

Click!

As Qin Wang pushed the copper lamp, the door of the third dan room instantly clicked open. Qin Wang stepped aside, reached in, and pushed the door open. Inside, light from an unknown source shone.

The dan room was about three zhang in size, with a three chi tall black lacquered dan furnace inside. There were ashes in the furnace, and beside it was a stone table with writing brushes and inkstones. On the left side against the wall was an embedded nanmu cupboard with a palm-sized round handle.

"The Dragon Blood Pills are in this cupboard!"

Qin Wang looked at the cupboard, his eyes burning with excitement. He stepped forward and followed the instructions from the intelligence: "Press the handle of the cupboard three times to safely open it," and he pressed it three times in succession.

Click!

As Qin Wang pressed the handle three times, the cupboard door popped open. Qin Wang pulled it open and immediately saw four layers of compartments.

On the top layer were three palm-sized white porcelain bottles, each labeled 'Dragon Blood Pill'.

The second layer contained ten porcelain bottles, each labeled 'Tiger Blood Pill'.

The third layer held a porcelain jar with the words 'Qi and Blood Pill' on the lid.

The bottommost compartment contained a stack of silver bills, an unusually textured, yellowed ancient book, and a pile of gold bars inscribed with 'Emperor Kang's third year' and 'Zu Chi'.

"The Dragon Blood Pills!"

Qin Wang first picked up the bottle of Dragon Blood Pills, opened it, and saw three reddish pills inside, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance that filled the air!

"Wow, what a huge gain!"

Qin Wang took out a cloth bag he carried with him and swept all the Dragon Blood Pills, Tiger Blood Pills, Qi and Blood Pills, silver bills, ancient book, and the gold bars into the bag in one go.

He glanced around the dan room.

The dan furnace was too large to take away, so he had to give up on it.

Qin Wang exited the third dan room. Seeing many more dan rooms nearby, he decided not to continue exploring. With the goods in hand, leaving first was the priority.

"This old thing Li Hongfei wanted to sacrifice me as a young virgin to Li Tianhe. This residence of his, being a place for pill refining, it would be best to burn it down!"

Qin Wang left the underground room, entered the courtyard, dragged the two guards and four large wolves into the house, poured oil from the copper lamp onto the quilt, lit it, then leaped onto the wall and swiftly departed.

The flames gradually soared into the sky.

North of the city.

No. 12 Linjiang Residence.

A middle-aged man in green attire with a long sword at his waist opened the door briskly and walked in. If Qin Wang were present, he would surely recognize him as Zheng Kecheng, the Chief Constable of Yanyun County's Constabulary!

At this moment, in the main hall of the residence, sat a man who bore a striking resemblance to Zheng Kecheng, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Big brother, why didn't you announce your arrival earlier so we could prepare some wine and food? We could have had a good drink together?"

Zheng Kecheng entered the residence and warmly greeted the man. He was already tracking down clues about Bai Xiaoshen. His big brother, serving under General Li Jingzhong, had swiftly arrived at his Linjiang Residence.

"Why next time! I am here on the orders of General Li Jingzhong to deliver some materials to Liangzhou. I happened to pass by Yanyun County to bring you some good news!"

Zheng Keshou sized up his younger brother, Zheng Kecheng, visibly in a good mood as he spoke.

"What news?"

Zheng Kecheng's eyes lit up. "Could it be that big brother has achieved something great?"

"No, it's my nephew Lingyun. Because of his great merit and decent martial talent, he has been taken in as the thirteenth adopted son by General Li Jingzhong!"

Zheng Keshou said solemnly.

"What? Lingyun actually has such great fortune!"

"That's wonderful!"

Zheng Kecheng clapped his thigh in excitement, his eyes suddenly bursting with light.

He never expected.

That his son, raised under the protection of Li Jingzhong, would be favored to become his adopted son!

You must know.

General Li Jingzhong is highly skilled, one of the four guardians of the Tianyun Alliance—Azure Dragon Guardian!

For his son to become the adopted son of such a figure, his future was limitless!

"Yeah, our Zheng family has really hit the jackpot!"

Zheng Keshou was also very happy and continued, "Little brother, it won't be long before Youzhou falls. You should finish your mission and hurry back. When the time comes, we brothers will follow Prince Jin, and make achievements!"

"Well, I'll deal with one little mosquito and leave!"

Zheng Kecheng nodded.

West of the city, No. 88 Linjiang Residence.

One li away.

A luxurious carriage slowly moved forward. Li Hongfei, dressed in green robes, sat in the carriage, pondering what to do next?

He had already dealt thoroughly with all the pill refiners, leaving no trace.

He wasn't worried about anything else.

Just worried about the people from the Constabulary.

"Oh no! Master, there's a fire!!"

Just then, one of the guards driving the carriage suddenly exclaimed.

"A fire? What's there to be so surprised about?"

Li Hongfei furrowed his brows deeply. Was someone's house on fire that they were making such a fuss?

Suddenly, a gust of wind lifted the carriage curtain, and he saw flames soaring into the sky a li away from his own No. 88 Linjiang Residence. Many residents were carrying wooden buckets to fight the fire.

"What? Is my residence on fire?"

Li Hongfei saw the flames soaring into the sky at his own residence and was instantly shocked. His figure flickered, unfolding his martial skill, and rushed towards his residence.
