When they got up in the morning, Arus and Pucci were asleep soundly next to them, and Shi Yan slowly breathed a sigh of relief after refining the last bottle of Golden Creation Medicine. The first bottle of gold sore medicine Shi Yan took a whole hour, and the second bottle only used half an hour...... It wasn't until the last bottle that Shi Yan used a stick of incense tightly to complete it. I counted the bottles on the ground, and there were 23 bottles in total. The remaining herbs are only 'Raw Fragrant Bamboo' and 'Bitter Lotus Roots', which is not enough for one bottle.

"Hard work," came the voice of silence in the ring.

"It's not hard, Aunt Jing, I refined 23 bottles, but unfortunately I failed twice in the process," Shi Yan said.

"If you don't get in the way, strong pharmacists will fail, this is a common thing, you don't have to worry about it," said Zhu Jing.

"I see," Shi Yan said with a smile.

This whole night, Zhujing has been paying attention to Shi Yan, she was surprised to find that Shi Yan's heart is as pure as a blank piece of paper, practicing medicine without distractions, will not be in a hurry, do not know what shortcuts to seek, no comparison, no pride, just simply do one thing well.

"Aunt Jing, I plan to sell these Jinchuang medicines, exchange them for some herbs, and continue refining," Shi Yan said.

"Take a break, with the ability to refine a pint of pills, life will be much better in the future, remember not to be proud," Zhu Jing said.

"Listen to Aunt Jing," Shi Yan said.

After waking up Arus and going to Guling Town, the owner of the pharmacy thought at first that they had come to buy herbs again, but he didn't know that since he had put 15 bottles of Jinchuang Medicine on the table.

"Two little brothers, what is this?" The pharmacy owner was curious.

"Jinchuang Medicine" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Yo~ This is refined, hahaha, come on, I'll take a look" The pharmacy owner first smiled, and then casually opened the medicine bottle in front of everyone and sniffed it. The more he smelled it, the tighter his brows became, and after smelling the medicine bottles one by one, he took out one and put it in his mouth, and Arus was just about to stop it, but was stopped by Shi Yan and signaled not to speak. A gold sore medicine went down to the stomach, and the boss understood everything, and immediately ordered the guys in the store to take 15 copper spars and handed them to Shi Yan personally.

"Little brother, it's the old man who has looked away, this medicine bottle is still warm, the medicinal fragrance is indeed true, to be honest, I have been selling medicine for many years, and it is the first time I have smelled this kind of quality Jinchuang medicine" The pharmacy owner sighed.

"Hehe, it's good if the boss likes it," Shi Yan said.

"Count you knowing, tell you, don't talk about gold sore medicine, it's just~" Arus was about to say it, but Shi Yan covered his mouth.

The boss smiled knowingly and didn't say anything, Shi Yan and the boss exchanged a few words, and then left Guling Town with Arus. The guys were curious as to why the boss didn't stop him and ask him to refine a few more bottles. The owner of the pharmacy just smiled and said, "If you can practice high-quality gold sore medicine, there must be a master behind you, who is giving me a guts, and I don't dare to offend him."

~~~~~

Shi Yan was a pharmacist, and it quickly spread in Guling Town. The news reached the president of Guling Town, who sent people around to find Shi Yan's whereabouts, and finally found Shi Yan's trace in the stone forest outside the city.

"I have long heard that there are two young and promising cultivators in this strange stone forest, and Shi Yan's name has been spread by various presidents in the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce, and it is an honor to meet Shi Yan's little brother himself," said the president of Guling Town.

"Uncle Chang is polite, I'm just lucky," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Uncle Tao's name is born, my surname is Tao, my name is Wangcai, you can call me Uncle Tao in the future," President Tao said.

"Huh?" Shi Yan was stunned, and Arus almost didn't squirt out.

Shi Yan looked at Arus, raised his eyebrows, and saw that Arus also immediately calmed down, and the two of them didn't say anything, but they both understood in their hearts, how to name a dog for a good president.

"What's wrong?" President Tao looked at the two of them and said curiously.

"It's okay, maybe my junior brother was in too much of a hurry to eat and choked," Shi Yan said.

"Yes, I can't get enough to eat with him, and I can't pull it out when I'm hungry," Arus said.

"He just likes to be straightforward where he shouldn't," Shi Yan said.

"It was," Arus disagreed.

"Hehehe, the two little brothers are really frank, no obstacles, and there are no outsiders here. Speaking of the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce, President Wan has a very high opinion of you," Chairman Tao said with a smile.

"Do you know President Wan too?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"That's, they're all old friends, and the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce has seen them, alas~ It's a pity that it's only a day or two," President Tao said.

"Yes, President Wan is a good person," Shi Yan also said silently.

"But don't worry, when President Wan went back, he specially told me to let me take care of you, I have a very good relationship with President Wan, and I have lived here these days, so that I can also learn from President Wan, and do my best to be a landlord," President Tao said with a smile.

"You and President Wan met when we were leaving? Why didn't I get it? Shi Yan said.

"Oh? Why, didn't President Wan tell you when he went back? Oops, maybe it was too chaotic at the time, I didn't have time, I still talked to him very speculatively that night, how did I know that something suddenly happened to Qishi Dacheng, and I only found him later, and he also explained that I must treat you well when I meet you" President Tao smiled.

Arus, who was eating on the side, suddenly stopped, looked at President Tao suspiciously, and was about to speak, but was lightly kicked by Shi Yan under the table.

"Haha, too, it was too chaotic at the time, but it's a pity that my junior brother was injured at that time, and I was busy taking care of him, so I didn't see President Wan" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Not really, but don't worry, with my relationship with Lao Wan, you can rest assured that you will stay here for a few days," President Tao said.

"Then you're welcome," Shi Yan said.

"This little brother Arus, it seems that he has something to say just now," President Tao asked, looking at Arus.

"I~" Arus looked at President Tao, then at Shi Yan, who was secretly glancing at him, and immediately smiled, "I want to say, after eating this meat, can you have some more."

"Oops, rudeness, come on, hurry, serve," President Tao immediately commanded.

Shi Yan and Arus continued to eat, because it was President Tao who personally invited the banquet, and no one else was invited, so there were only three people eating from beginning to end, and Shi Yan and Arus also chatted one sentence after another until the end of the meal.

After arriving at the room prepared by President Tao, Shi Yan broke everyone apart, leaving only Arus in the room.

"Senior brother, didn't you say that President Wan died? Why did people say that they had seen him leave? Arus wondered.

"I'm also strange, but I'm absolutely not mistaken, why did he say he had seen it? Could it be that President Wan is really not dead? Shi Yan said this, and seemed to have a hint of excitement.

As the "two little fools" spoke, the air in the room fluctuated slightly, and gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

"Aunt Jing, why are you scolding us?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"What you saw is true, then it proves that he is lying, fortunately you didn't ask directly just now, otherwise it would be really a goof," said Zhu Jing.

"Aunt Jing means that President Tao is lying to us? No way, we're all meeting for the first time, so why would he lie? Shi Yan said curiously.

"Don't worry, it's so much trouble, I guess there will be a big move soon," Zhu Jing said.

"You are suspicious of a president who invites us to a big meal, it is too bad," Arus wondered.

"But the reason why we doubt it is because he is worthy of our suspicion," Shi Yan said.

"Don't be anxious, it's better to be vigilant tonight," Zhu Jing said.

"Alas~ I was finally able to sleep in bed, but I didn't let me sleep well," Arus said as he lay on the bed.

~~~~~

In the dead of night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the door of the Tao family was opened, and a man in a black cloak hurried out and walked towards the stone ridge outside the town.

"Senior brother, he really has a problem, how can anyone run into the mountains in the middle of the night?" Arus whispered.

"Alas, I really let Aunt Jing say it right, it seems that he has another purpose in trapping us," Shi Yan said.

It turned out that after chatting with Aunt Jing, Shi Yan had been uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't meditate to cultivate internally, so he simply stopped practicing. But I couldn't sleep, so I simply didn't sleep, and pulled Arus out of Tao's house quietly, I didn't expect that something really happened in the middle of the night in this Tao family, and the two followed the black shadow all the way into the stone ridge.

Not long after entering the stone ridge, both of them recognized the black shadow in front of them, it turned out to be President Tao, I saw him walking cautiously, looking back from time to time, with a high sense of vigilance, fortunately, there was a careful mention of Zhujing along the way, and the other party did not find that Shi Yan and Arus were following him all the way.

"Senior brother, there seems to be someone up ahead," Arus said softly.

"Shh~" Shi Yan made a silent motion.

The two watched President Tao walk around the ancient mountains, and finally since they came to a boulder, the two of them didn't dare to step forward, only to see President Tao stop in front of the boulder~

"You're here" A woman's voice came from behind the boulder, because of the boulder's obscuration, Shi Yan and Arus could not see the speaker's face, only President Tao standing outside.

"Well, I told you to keep an eye on a kid named Shi Yan, and I found it, and it's in my house now," President Tao asked.

"Hehe, the leader's estimate is really right, Shi Yan has really arrived in Guling Town," the woman smiled.

"This kind of child, I solved it myself, why do you have to let you come over to deal with it?" President Tao asked.

"That's what the leader meant, and now that you're in a critical position, you can't afford to make any mistakes, so the leader has entrusted us with these little things," the mysterious woman said.

Behind the stone, Shi Yan and Arus hid not far away, listening quietly, but the more they listened, the more wrong they became, and they could tell by their voices that each other was not very old.

"How do you look like a girl?" Arus said softly.

"Hmm," Shi Yan nodded.

"Well, isn't the chief a little too careful," said President Tao.

"The leader said that Shi Yan has a good background, and if you are not careful, you may be exposed," the girl said.

"Well, since it's the leader's will, I'll follow it, I'll bring them here tomorrow night, and I'll leave it to you when the time comes," President Tao said, turning to leave.

Shi Yan and Arus quietly walked around the stone, and when they saw President Tao walking away, they quietly walked back and continued to crouch behind the boulder and listen.

"Sister Demon Heart, this Tao President is quite powerful, since he found Shi Yan so quickly, the leader must be very happy this time" Another girl's voice came from behind the stone.

"Yes, Shi Yan must not have imagined that he still couldn't escape the leader's palm when he turned around, but I heard that he became very powerful after leaving, and defeated a girl with 6 true qi in the bamboo forest town" Demon Heart said.

"So what, he's alone, oh no, forget that Arus, there are only two of us, and so many of us are afraid that he won't make it," the girl said.

"Don't be careless, have you forgotten his strength in the warehouse that day, we have only a 5-stage fighter here, and the rest are some 3-stage and 4-stage people, let's wait for the leader to come," Demon Heart said.

"Alas~ No matter what, let's thank him for it, if he hadn't led people out of the woods and killed and injured more than half of them, we wouldn't have a chance to survive," the girl said.

"Thank you, we could have lived, and if you want to thank you, it's also that group of children to thank you, but it's a pity, the weak are the weak, and the dead and injured who died after doing the task, it is estimated that it would be good to live two now" Demon Heart said.

Shi Yan and Arus roughly understood that the children behind the stone were none other than the two girls who were in the warehouse at the beginning, but they didn't expect that they would become subordinates of that group of mysterious people, and they would help that group of people kill themselves.

Arus pointed to the stone, then pointed to the stone, and made a motion to wipe his neck, and the stone rock understood that Arus meant that they were going to kill you. Shi Yan spread his hands, what does it mean? Arus pointed behind the stone, then shook his finger and made a striking motion, Shi Yan understood that he meant that the people behind him were petty, just hit them. Shi Yan felt bad and shook his head again. Arus pointed to the location of the Shen family again, and made a gesture to leave, meaning let's go, Shi Yan still shook his head.

"You're too hard to serve, you can't fight, you can't go, can't you really go back and wait to be killed?" Arus asked.

"Who?" A girl's voice came from behind the stone.

Shi Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Arus to be so anxious, seeing that it was exposed, Shi Yan had to walk out from behind the stone, and the two girls watched a black shadow slowly appear, the moon emerged from the dark clouds, and the moonlight shone on Shi Yan's face, and everyone was stunned.

"Shi Yan," Shi Yan said softly.

"Is that you? Could it be that President Tao betrayed us," the girl was surprised.

"Really, it's so hard, it's not over if you come out early and bring them down," Arus said and walked out from behind Shi Yan.

As soon as he came out, he was very proud, and when the moonlight completely illuminated the ancient ridge, Arus was directly dumbfounded, it turned out that there were not two girls behind the boulder, but about 10 children, but the others didn't speak.

"I didn't think you would have the courage to come here, but it's okay, we're looking for you everywhere," Moxin smiled.

As he spoke, the children behind him leaned over one after another, Arus swallowed his saliva, and secretly scolded himself for being too reckless, he knew that it would be good to look at the situation first, and then look at Shi Yan, just standing there quietly looking at the children in front of him.

"You could have escaped, so why did you stay here and work for those mercenaries?" Shi Yan asked.

"Why? How can there be so many whys? Why are we orphans, why no one cares about our life or death, why are you so powerful from birth, just because people live there is a class division, there is no fairness at all, joining the Dark Moon mercenaries is our only way to live" Demon Heart laughed.

"Darkmoon mercenaries?" Shi Yan said.

"Hmph, I'll let you die today, yes, it's the Dark Moon mercenary, the mercenary who was played by you," Moxin laughed.

"You still follow them, who know what they are like?" Shi Yan asked.

"Shi Yan, we also pinned our hopes on you, but what was the result. You, you left too early, I only know that they were cruel when they chose children, I don't know what the selected children are like, to tell you the truth, now we eat and drink well, and there are special teachers to train us, not only that, but there are also generous commissions for each task completed, which is much better than the days when no one cared about the death before" Moxin smiled.

"Oh? The treatment is so good? Arus was surprised.

"Do you regret leaving? Would you like to come back and join us? Demon Heart asked.

"Forget it, no matter how good the treatment is, it's also a life exchange, I'm not rare, I'll still follow Shi Yan" Arus smiled.

"Oh? So you must have learned a lot from Shi Yan, why don't you learn from it? Demon Heart looked at Arus and smiled.

"It's not me saying that even if you go together, you won't be able to beat my senior brother," Arus laughed.

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Arus, and wondered if this girl was two, even if he was stronger, the other party was more than a dozen people after all~

"What? Don't have faith? Arus asked, looking at Shi Yan.

"Can you ask my opinion before you speak?" Shi Yan said.

"Senior brother, you still have the face to say, we are in charge of this place," Arus said angrily.

"Hahaha~~" Everyone laughed, looking at Arus and Shi Yan in front of them, they were obviously about to be killed by them, and they still had time to fight there. But the children have also seen Shi Yan's strength, to say that there is really no chance of winning alone, but it is clear who wins and who loses in a group fight.

"Okay, it's up to you, but we can't bully you too much, so let's do it, you two can beat us up," Demon Heart laughed.

"Ah~ There's still something about me here?" Arus said.

"It's fair~" Shi Yan said.

More than a dozen children on the other side slowly surrounded the two, and Arus also regretted it very much, blaming himself for speaking too fast, and there was no way out at the moment, so he could only fight, I just hoped that there would not be too strong children in it.

"Up~" The devil heart gave an order, and all the children rushed up.
