After another two days, after Ling Jiuqiu had refined enough pills, he came to the Thousand Crane Trading House.

The shopkeeper Mei, who was settling accounts behind the counter, inadvertently raised his head, and happened to see Ling Jiuqiu wearing a fake beard, and his jaw was about to fall off in shock.

Ordinary passers-by are not familiar with Ling Jiuqiu's appearance, so Ling Jiuqiu usually disguises it a little, so that everyone can not recognize it, but Shopkeeper Mei has had many transactions with him, and they are quite familiar with each other, and they can recognize Ling Jiuqiu from his figure and face at a glance.

"You...... You're not dead?! ”

"Let's go, let's go to the inner hall."

Ling Jiuqiu lifted the pill box in his hand and said indifferently.

When the two came to the inner hall, the shopkeeper Mei also reacted, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just said something unintentionally, and I didn't mean to offend." ”

Ling Jiuqiu nodded, didn't say anything more on this topic, and directly handed the pill box in his hand to the other party.

"This is the elixir I have refined in the past few days, and by the way, I have also made up the previous share, you can order it."

Shopkeeper Mei took the wooden box and counted it, and then ordered someone to come over and inspect it in person.

The person in charge of testing the quality of the pill was a white-haired old man, he poured out the bottles of the pill, took them to his eyes one by one, looked at them for a while, smelled them for a while, and suddenly sighed: "This little brother's alchemy level has really improved a lot, I can't see that I was just a novice alchemist more than a month ago, presumably the success rate of refining Qi and Blood Pills should reach more than ninety percent now, right?" ”

Ling Jiuqiu nodded: "That's right." ”

Hearing their conversation, Shopkeeper Mei suddenly became interested and said, "Since Brother Ling's refining power has increased, the efficiency must have also improved, I wonder if Brother Ling is interested in further deepening cooperation?" ”

The corners of Jiuqiu's mouth turned up slightly: "What does Shopkeeper Mei mean by deepening cooperation?" ”

"Of course, it is to increase the quantity, after all, the scale of the Qianhe Trading House is very large, and all kinds of pills are often in short supply, so we naturally need as many pills as possible."

Shopkeeper Mei said with a smile: "We have cooperated for so long, we are very familiar with each other, and the cooperation is also very pleasant. ”

Ling Jiuqiu pretended to think for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "My main task now is cultivation, and I don't have much time to focus on alchemy, if I continue to increase cooperation, I'm afraid I won't be able to supply something, so forget it for now." ”

Shopkeeper Mei said with some disappointment: "Since this is the case, then I will not force Brother Ling." ”

Soon, the white-haired old man finished testing the pills one by one, and nodded to the shopkeeper Mei: "The pills are no problem, they are all of good quality." ”

Shopkeeper Mei immediately took out a small stack of silver tickets, counted them and handed them to Ling Jiuqiu.

After the transaction was completed, Ling Jiuqiu said goodbye and left, and came to the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce on the other side to buy some Enlightenment Pill and Tongmai Pill.

In fact, Qianhe Trading House also has these pills, and for Ling Jiuqiu, a cooperative alchemist, the selling price must be discounted, but Ling Jiuqiu knows that the other party is actually hostile to him, how dare he eat the other party's things?

To be on the safe side, he decided to buy it at the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, he bought a superb Xuanqi-level long sword by the way, and some other materials for survival in the wild, just in case of emergency.

In the days that followed, Jiuqiu's life once again returned to the previous three points and one line.

Either he practiced in retreat in the dormitory of the academy, or he practiced alchemy in the Alchemist Association, and occasionally went to the Thousand Crane Trading House to deliver the pills.

With the assistance of a large number of Tongmai Pills and Enlightenment Pills, it only took about a week for Jiuqiu's True Martial Mixed Yuan Gong to successfully break through to the fifth level.

Of course, considering that Ling Jiuqiu's martial arts realm had been staying in the fourth level for several months, this breakthrough was just a matter of course, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

And just when Ling Jiuqiu thought that life would continue to be quiet for a while.

In a meeting hall of Yanlong Martial Arts Academy.

Twelve vice presidents and three representatives from the Bafang Martial Arts Arena gathered here.

"What do you think about the identity of Shi Bin, the man in black?"

The person in charge of presiding over the meeting was An Zhide, known as the first vice president, who looked around with a solemn face and asked in a deep voice.

One of the hot-tempered vice presidents suddenly spoke: "What else can you think!" Since Shi Bin is a member of the True Dragon Gang, then it must be the True Dragon Gang who secretly started it, but I have heard that when Ling Jiuqiu killed Shi Huili in the entrance competition, Chi Jiang, the deputy leader of the True Dragon Gang, openly expressed his dissatisfaction. ”

"If it were someone else, for the sake of Ling Jiuqiu's identity, it would be impossible to make a big deal out of this trivial matter, but Wei Chijiang's ruthless temperament that must be repaid must be well known to everyone here."

"In addition, Ling Jiuqiu injured Dongfang Rui before, which also implicated the reputation of the True Dragon Gang, and Dongfang Rui was also introduced to the gang by Wei Chijiang, which can be regarded as his descendant."

"These two things together made Wei Chijiang angry and angry, and he sent someone to assassinate him in anger, which is absolutely reasonable and in line with Yu Chijiang's style of dealing with the world."

The other person said: "But if it is really Wei Chijiang's doing, since he has already sent a strong man, then he will definitely kill Ling Jiuqiu with the power of thunder, but, according to Ling Jiuqiu, Shi Bin did not be ruthless at first, but wanted to arrest him." ”

"Judging from this behavior, I think this group of people in black is more in line with the logic of Heaven's behavior, they want to seize Ling Jiuqiu, forcibly take him under his command, and use all kinds of brainwashing methods to subdue him."

"Although the dead Shi Bin is the head of the True Dragon Gang, there are already many members of the Heavenly Kingdom lurking in the major forces, and it is also possible that one of the strong people they sent, one of whom happens to be from the True Dragon Gang."

"Wait...... Maybe there is another possibility, this is not a coincidence, but the Kingdom of Heaven deliberately did it, they knew that the True Dragon Gang and Ling Jiuqiu had a disagreement, and deliberately arranged for Shi Bin, who was lurking in the True Dragon Gang, to make a move, intensifying the contradiction between us and the True Dragon Gang......"

As the vice president spoke, he smiled and shook his head:

"This is not right, no matter how well the Kingdom of Heaven arranges, it is impossible to calculate it so accurately in advance, just let Shi Bin die in our hands, so that we can investigate the true identity."

"Of course, even if it wasn't intentional, I still think that Shi Bin is a member of the True Dragon Gang on the surface, but he is actually a member of the Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise I can't explain why he didn't kill him."

Another person retorted: "Maybe Shi Bin actually wanted to kill Ling Jiuqiu, but he just misestimated his strength, and his shot was too casual, and he easily dodged it, which caused Ling Jiuqiu to misunderstand the other party's original intention." ”

"That's right, this is just Ling Jiuqiu's one-sided statement, which is already subjective and can't be taken seriously."

"If we keep grasping this point and believe that Shi Bin is a member of the Heavenly Kingdom, then what's the point of us spending so much effort investigating his identity?"

Several vice presidents retorted.
