Chapter 125: Dragnet! Wei's Plan

…

As the days passed, a dragnet was laid against Wang Shouye, but Wei Donglai became more and more angry.

The investigation of Ji Lingxiao, Princess of Luojia, became more and more undisguised. In the beginning, she would find excuses to cover up, but later it became more and more simple and crude. Once any clues were found, she would die like a mad dog. Biting and holding on.

A few days ago, she even had a public conflict with the Wei Prince's Mansion, saying that she would arrest Wei Yuansheng and Wei Dong and interrogate them severely. Fortunately, Wei Prince Wei Boyu personally came forward to stop them.

But if this continues, the situation will inevitably become worse and worse. As long as that bitch Ji Lingxiao persists and continues to investigate at all costs regardless of the conflict between the two parties, Wei Donglai will be killed sooner or later.

Even if Wei Donglai's dealings with the Mo Dynasty were secretive and elaborate, there would still be no clues.

damn it! We must seize the time to resolve this matter.

But is Wang Shouye crazy? Furnace after furnace of elixirs are being refined, when will this end?

Wei Donglai was so distressed that he almost couldn't help but take extraordinary measures.

That's when.

Wei Donglai's "eyes" installed in Princess Luojia's mansion finally sent back some exciting information.

It turned out that Princess Luojia, who had always been good-tempered, finally couldn't help but lose her temper in Wang Shouye's alchemy workshop after not seeing Wang Shouye for more than a month, preventing Wang Shouye from continuing to refine a furnace of six elixirs. The thought of tasting [Ling Yuan Bao Dan] made me determined to take him out for some fresh air.

She even said harsh words, saying that if Wang Shouye didn't agree, she would cut off his supply of all alchemy raw materials.

Wang Shouye had no choice but to compromise.

This time, Wang Shouye and Ji Lingxiao didn't seem to want to make a big fuss when they went out. They specially disguised themselves as children of ordinary aristocratic families, traveled lightly, and were very low-key.

However, Ji Lingxiao seemed to dote on Wang Shouye. After briefly browsing the Dongqian clothing store, skin care store and other shops, she went straight to the largest trading market for cultivation materials in Muxian City.

This cultivation material trading market is a market that integrates shops of aristocratic families and street stalls of casual cultivators. On weekdays, people are mixed, and the scope of transactions is quite wide. Whether it is materials used by low-level Xuanwu monks for cultivation or cherished treasures, they can be purchased. Find it here.

This is an imitation of the Immortal Dynasty system. Each city will have an area specifically for casual cultivators to set up stalls, which can be regarded as a way for casual cultivators to survive.

There are special areas like this all over the world. For various reasons, there are all kinds of bizarre stories of getting rich overnight almost every day. But more often than not, there are various scams that emerge one after another. If you go there with the intention of picking up the slack, you will probably They are all eye-catching.

Wang Shouye would occasionally visit the casual cultivator market when he was resting.

With his sharp eyesight, the probability of being blinded is extremely low, and he can occasionally pick things up to adjust his mood. After all, this is the third time he has visited the casual cultivator market after coming to Muxian City.

Probably because the environment was suitable and the mood was relaxed, Wang Shouye even talked a lot more than usual here.

Ji Lingxiao, the low-key Princess of Luojia, who was wearing an ordinary women's Xuanwu battle skirt, followed him and watched him bargain with the vendors.

Although the veil on her face covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly, her eyebrows were relaxed, her eyes were smiling, and there was a sense of comfort and contentment in her eyes. She was obviously enjoying this moment.

"Old man, the prices of elixirs and elixirs have dropped sharply recently. The price of your batch of small Peiyuan Dan medicinal materials is 30% higher." Wang Shouye said patiently to an old stall owner of Lingtai Realm, "This way Come on, I'll give you two hundred Xiao Pei Yuan Dan to wrap up this batch of elixirs for you."

He could tell at a glance that this old man must be the ancestor of Lingtai from a low-ranking family in another place. He had harvested a batch of family elixirs and brought them to the capital to sell them at a high price. He also brought a young man and woman with him to gain experience.

"Can I exchange it for two hundred pieces?" The old man Xuanwu's face was slightly excited, "Okay, okay, it will be at the price of the young master."

Now that Donggan elixirs have entered Dazhou, they are constantly impacting Dazhou's elixir price system. However, Xiaopeiyuan elixirs are hard currency, so there is no loss in exchanging medicinal materials for elixirs.

Soon, the two parties completed the transaction.

"Master, this batch of Little Peiyuan Dan is in very good condition." The old man Xuanwu completed the transaction with satisfaction and thanked him repeatedly.

After Wang Shouye returned the gift, he walked to the next stall and continued shopping.

"Sir, according to the current market price, you can exchange for that batch of medicinal materials with one hundred and eighty coins." Princess Luojia laughed and joked, "Besides, it is quite a waste of time for you to collect such low-grade medicinal materials."

Nowadays, Wang Shouye has a high chance of success in refining a batch of sixth-grade elixir. Usually, he can earn at least tens of thousands of immortal crystals by refining a batch in ten days. If you refine elixirs every day, you will have a net profit of at least one million immortal crystals in a year.

It is said that every high-level alchemy master is a large-scale spiritual stone mine that cannot be excavated. This saying is most appropriate when applied to Wang Shouye.

Just relying on the income from his alchemy alone, he can easily support an entire third-grade family who does nothing.

In other words, if a normal second- or third-grade family can cultivate such a master of alchemy, as long as the head of the family has a normal mind and manages it carefully, the family will gradually take off. If you are lucky enough to get a treasure book and directly enter a first-class family in one fell swoop, it is not impossible to achieve a class leap.

Not to mention that Wang Shouye is still so young. When he reaches the magical power realm and Lingxu realm, the income from alchemy will be even more terrifying. [Seventh-grade Holy Pill], [Eighth-grade Immortal Pill], [Ninth-grade Dao Pill], the profits will be higher than the last high.

Especially the ninth-grade Dao elixir. There are very few people in this world who can refine the ninth-grade Dao elixir, and it is difficult to refine it alone. You must rely on the immortal spirit energy of the Immortal Lord or Immortal Emperor.

As a result, a considerable part of the profits from the Ninth Grade Dao Pill will be taken up by the Immortal Lord and Immortal Emperor. But even so, the ninth-grade Dao Pill is the highest-grade pill that humans can currently refine. Due to its extremely rare quantity, the profit is still extremely high.

"Lingxiao, the purpose of going to the market is to relax, so why bother chasing profits all day long?" Wang Shouye smiled calmly, "Besides, as soon as I saw these honest and responsible little aristocratic families, it reminded me of the time when our Wang family was weak. , the scene of brothers and sisters giving in to each other for a small Pei Yuan Dan. Looking back now, although the days at that time were sad, they were also extremely warm."

"It would be great if I could get to know you earlier. Maybe I can help you make elixirs." Princess Luojia was also sighing.

When she first met Wang Shouye, she thought the Wang family belonged to the old Zifu family. After all, how can an ordinary Zifu family cultivate a peerless talent?

But she didn't expect that she later found out after careful research that the rise of the Wang family was less than two hundred years ago. The speed of her rise was so fast, and the gap between before and after was so earth-shaking, it really exceeded the limit of her imagination.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed that there was an aristocratic family in this world that could do this.

Wang Shouye smiled.

With Princess Luojia's background, the possibility of the two of them meeting at that time was too low.

What's more, he has always understood that he is not the kind of genius who is naturally better than others. Everything he has now relies on the support of his family and the alchemy skills he has honed through hard work.

If he had met him in advance, Princess Luojia might not have noticed him at that time.

Not far away, the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, who was pretending to be a female guard to protect the two of them, couldn't help but roll his eyes quietly when he heard this, feeling secretly contemptuous in his heart.

Princess Luojia, this is complete nonsense.

If she had known that Wang would be successful today, she would have gone to Wang to invest two hundred years ago. At that time, the Wang family was only a ninth-grade family. Even if she plucked out the hair of the nine-tailed demon emperor, it would be enough for the Wang family to fly away from where they were. They were so grateful.

It's a pity that with the current wealth and power of the Wang family, she, the nine-tailed demon emperor, plucked all her fur and presented it with both hands. Wang Shouzhe would not take a serious look at you, and would only think that you are a psychopath.

Wang Shouye wanders around, buying some low-end medicinal materials from time to time. Occasionally, he encounters honest people selling high-priced materials at low prices. He does not play pick-up tricks to take advantage of others, but buys them at high prices after breaking them. What he wants is a Peace of mind.

This point naturally made Princess Luojia nod secretly in her heart.

The business owner of our family is steady, down-to-earth, and kind-hearted. He is different from those guys like Wei Donglai who are aloof and eager for quick success.

At this time, suddenly an old man from the Lingtai realm with a simple temperament and an ordinary appearance came over and mysteriously took out a leaf: "Sir, please take a look at this."

Although the leaves are slightly dry, they can be seen with distinctive characteristics. The leaves are like palms, the texture is thick, and the meridians show a light purple color.

"This is?"

Wang Shouye's heart moved slightly, and he took the leaf and looked at it carefully.

"Young Master, please take a moment to speak." The old man from Lingtai, who looked honest and honest, looked around and invited Wang Shouye to a quiet place before whispering, "I think the Young Master is kind-hearted, so I took out this treasure and asked the Young Master to take a look. "

"Yes. These are the leaves of Scrophulariaceae." Wang Shouye said, "I look at the leaf wheel. I think this Scrophulariaceae must be at least ten thousand years old."

"Ahem~ Young Master is indeed a discerning person. In fact, Lao Chan doesn't know the specific details of the fire." The old man from Lingtai said in a low voice, "To be honest, Lao Chan is from a seventh-grade family of Chang Chunwei in Nanshan County of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our family is within the jurisdiction of the territory. While mining, I accidentally excavated a ley line and found a ley line scrophularia plant in it.”

Then, the old man described the shape and size of Scrophulariaceae in detail.

"I'm afraid that these ten thousand years of fire are far from being able to stop it." Wang Shouye said with emotion, "Your family is really lucky. This treasure starts with hundreds of thousands of fairy crystals. With good luck, if it is older, it will be worth hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals." Nothing can stop it.”

This huge amount of money is not a small amount for a third-grade family, and it is an astronomical figure for a seventh-grade family.

"I wonder if the young master is interested in buying?" The old man at Lingtai saw that he knew the goods and was very excited. "I have been observing the market for several days, but I have been afraid to reveal the information for fear of being remembered. If I didn't see the young master as a man of justice and kind-hearted nature, I would I don’t dare to take out this thing.”

"That's fine. Scrophulariaceae with this level of heat can be the main ingredient of the seventh-grade Holy Pill [Tongtian Holy Pill]. I just need it." Wang Shouye agreed, "Let's find a place to look at the condition and year. , I will make an offer based on the actual situation.”

[Tongtian Holy Pill] is an auxiliary holy pill taken by Xuanwu monks in the Purple Mansion Realm when they break through the supernatural power realm. It belongs to the same series as Tianling Pill, Immortal Ascension Pill, and Psychic Treasure Pill.

Peerless geniuses like Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye, because of their strong bloodline, can naturally break through without relying on auxiliary elixirs when they are promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm. However, if they are promoted to the magical power realm, unless they are the peerless goddess or emperor, they still have a The Tongtian Holy Pill guarantees a relatively safe success rate.

Once this elixir is refined, it will almost always go to the auction house, and the final transaction price is usually around 300,000 immortal crystals.

"This... Young Master, it's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly." The old man from Lingtai said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Our family did discover that Earth Vein Scrophulariaceae, but we are too weak and have no relevant experience, so we don't dare to collect it randomly. I'm afraid that if you accidentally break it and lose the medicinal properties, you will suffer a big loss. If you are willing to go to the government with me to do justice and pay a deposit to the government, I will take you back to the family to have a look. As long as you give me the Sell ​​it if the price is right.”

"It makes sense. Scrophulariaceae that are over 10,000 years old are extremely rare. Collecting them without experience will easily destroy the medicinal properties, so it will definitely not work." Wang Shouye nodded and said, "Okay, then go to the government to be fair and make a contract."

There is no reason why Wang Shouye is not interested. Nowadays, although he can make money by refining the sixth-grade elixir, the difficulty of refining the seventh-grade holy elixir is greatly increased. Even with the guidance of the mysterious elixir book, he can only save his capital.

If you want to increase the rate of elixir formation, there is no good way, just one word "refining".

The biggest problem with holy elixirs is that the raw materials are too scarce, so you can’t just make them if you want to.

Although I have harvested several elixirs of ten thousand years in the ruins before, there are never enough elixirs of this level to be used. Now that I have encountered them, I will definitely take them if I can.

"Sir, Nanshan County is not close. Even if you take a flying chariot, it will take several days for a single trip." Princess Luojia frowned slightly when she heard the old man's suggestion, obviously "hesitant", "Why don't we send How about one of my men go and buy it?"

"No." The old man at Lingtai flatly refused, "I am willing to trade because I see this young master's honest nature. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Moreover, this young master's price is fair and honest, so I am only willing to sell to him."

"Forget it, let's just go out and relax." Wang Shouye appeased Princess Luojia, "Besides, the Scrophulariaceae that are waiting to be heated are too precious, and there are many taboos when collecting them. I don't feel safe if others go there."

"Since the young master has made up his mind, I will accompany you to relax and take you to see the spring-like scenery in Nanshan County all year round." Princess Luojia nodded and agreed, but the corner of her mouth under the veil was It evoked a sneer.

After the final word.

According to what the old man at Lingtai said, both parties went through the process under the witness of relevant government agencies and completed the justice and contract.

Afterwards, two ordinary flying chariots flew straight to Nanshan County.

It was not until the chariot took off that the old man from Lingtai realized that the person in front of him was actually the famous Princess Luojia. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say any unnecessary words along the way.

Princess Luojia and Shouye's trip was quite low-key, and they were traveling in a light vehicle.

Except for an old woman, two maids, and a little girl, there were no more people accompanying him.

After five full days.

The flying chariot arrived deep in a remote mountain range near Changchunwei in Nanshan County.

This place is inaccessible, and the nearest human villages and towns are far away from each other. There are only some scattered small mining areas that are still producing and working.

"Master, please come here." The old man from Lingtai led Wang Shouye all the way to a mining area. As he led a few people inside, he explained, "This mining area is our family's mining area, because the geophylla Scrophulariaceae was discovered. , has been sealed up now. Young Master, let’s go in.”

"Wait a minute." Wang Shouye scanned the surrounding environment and frowned, "The landscape here doesn't look beautiful enough, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of such high-quality earth veins underground."

"Ahem, Master, that place is quite deep." The old man from Lingtai explained, "If the signs can be revealed so easily, how can we get this treasure?"

"Since there are earth-line spiritual treasures, why don't we use formations to isolate them and send elite tribesmen to secretly watch and protect them?" Wang Shouye was not easily fooled by him. Instead, he discovered more doubts. He stared at him and shouted angrily, "You are lying. What is my intention in coming here?"

Although Wang Shouye usually doesn't get angry and looks like a good gentleman, he is a strong man in the Purple Mansion Realm, or he is of fire blood. When he is angry, his power is as blazing as fire, his voice is majestic, and his terrifying power can overwhelm anyone. One can't breathe.

Under this terrifying power, the old man at Lingtai's knees became weak, and he couldn't help but slumped to the ground in an instant, with a frightened expression on his face: "Sir, please spare your life~ I, I..."

Just when he wanted to say something.

Suddenly.

In the sky, a gloomy sneer suddenly came from afar.

"Wang Shouye, Wang Shouye, I didn't expect that you are just a master of alchemy skills, but your senses are quite sharp. Unfortunately, it is too late to wake up now. Today, this remote place in the countryside is where you will die."

The words have not yet finished.

A young man in brocade clothes slowly stepped out of the darkness.

This young man has a tall and straight figure and is considered handsome, but the expression on his face is extremely cold, with a dark and murderous intent like a poisonous snake in his eyes, which makes his temperament darker.

Who is it if it’s not Wei Donglai?

Behind him, there were five mysterious people wearing masks, hiding their heads and tail.

They were all wearing similar black robes. They were silent from beginning to end. They just kept a certain distance and followed Wei Donglai unhurriedly. However, the powerful aura that was inadvertently revealed made people feel as if they were facing an abyss, almost suffocating them. .

Divine power realm!

Each of those five is actually a monk in the magical power realm!

"Wei Donglai?" Wang Shouye raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Are you preparing to take revenge on Wang?"

"Haha, just think of me as revenge." Wei Donglai sneered, "If it weren't for your sabotage, how could my Wei family's reputation have plummeted? How could I, Wei Donglai, have almost been ruined?"

"Justice is in the heart of the people." Wang Shouye said coldly, "If you compete in a down-to-earth manner, no matter whether you win or lose, the impact on your reputation will be limited, so why have you reached this point? It's because you are not upright and your reputation is ruined. Who’s to blame?”

"Okay, you are upright. Are you upright?" Wei Donglai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "Anyway, if you ruined my plan to marry Princess Luojia, I will let you die without a burial place."

"Presumptuous!" Princess Luojia on the side heard this and was immediately furious. "Wei Donglai, you are really crazy."

"Hey, isn't this Princess Luojia?" Wei Donglai sneered, "You don't want a good young talent, but you like a married woman. You are really worthy of giving face to our Zhou royal family."

"You dare to compete with Mr. Shouye?" Princess Luojia sneered and retorted, "Yes, I just like Mr. Shouye, so what? I don't want a guy like you to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy. Look at you for a second. Even with your hidden magical powers, you want to take us down. It’s just an idiot’s dream!”

"Okay, okay! The princess's words made Wei Mou enlightened." Wei Donglai laughed angrily, and the expression on his face suddenly became ferocious, "Aren't you always looking for evidence that I colluded with the Demon Dynasty? Today, I will let you See it all at once. Ancestor, don’t hide it anymore. Let’s fight quickly to kill Wang Shouye who is colluding with the Demon Dynasty and rescue Princess Luojia.”

It was very obvious that he not only wanted to kill people but also wanted to frame them and frame them.

"well!"

A soft sigh sounded.

Amid the sigh, space ripples appeared in the air.

An imposing old man in brocade robes tore apart the space and slowly walked out.

Under the sun, he stood in the air wearing a black robe, his clothes flying, and he looked extraordinary.

The terrifying power spread with his appearance, and it seemed that the whole world was completely filled in an instant.

The domineering power of the Lingxu Realm master was clearly revealed at this moment.

It was Wei Boyu, King of Wei.

Wei Boyu stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Princess Luojia coldly and said: "Lingxiao, I have watched you grow up, and I fully thought that you would become the daughter-in-law of my Prince Wei. But I never expected that. , today we will reach the point of fighting each other, it is really unpredictable."

"Your Highness the King of Wei." Princess Luojia also sighed, "Lingxiao has always treated you as an elder. I never expected that your Prince Wei's Palace would be so closely colluded with the Demon Dynasty, and even you Get stuck in it.”

"It's not collusion, it's just about each getting what he needs." Wei Wang Wei Boyu looked cold, and remained unmoved even in the face of Princess Luojia's accusations, "You Ji family have controlled the government for so many years, but you... Each generation is worse than the last. Why should we, the Wei family, always be inferior to others? It’s time for this great emperor to change his family."

"Wei Boyu, do you think His Majesty the Immortal Emperor will stand idly by if you collude with the Demon Dynasty to usurp the throne?" Princess Luojia was so angry at his brazen tone that she replied coldly, "You are just wishful thinking."

"Since ancient times, winners and losers have always been victors. How to deal with His Majesty the Immortal Emperor is our own business." Wei Boyu said calmly, "But Lingxiao, you'd better just surrender and capture him. Don't think that you have a secret photo disk hidden secretly. It can be used as evidence. With me here today, none of you can even think of leaving."

The words fell.

Wei Boyu waved his long sleeve, and a burst of fiery energy exploded.

As long as Princess Luojia is taken down first, there is no need for the others to stay!

The Lingxu realm monks are so domineering, even the peerless genius-level Zifu realm is nothing more than a mantis trying to act as a chariot.

"Roar~!!"

In the high-pitched and majestic roar of Qilin, the billowing profound energy condensed into a huge fire claw that could cover the sky and the sun, and it attacked Princess Luojia with great arrogance.

In an instant, half of the sky was dyed red by the fire reflected by this claw.

The fire claws are everywhere, and the blazing flames are wrapped in boundless power and come out wantonly. Even if it is just a casual blow from the Lingxu Realm monk, the terrifying power seems to be able to burn everything around it into ashes.

Princess Luojia's face turned pale.

Even though she had been mentally prepared and her mind was extremely firm, she still felt as vulnerable as an ant under this terrifying power.

"Princess, be careful."

Wang Shouye's expression also changed, and he immediately summoned the blue flame gourd, a Taoist weapon, and was ready to resist.

But that's it at this moment.

In the sky, a low beast roar like thunder suddenly came.

Appearing at the same time as the beast's roar, there was also a thick and powerful giant palm that covered the sky.

This giant palm, like the fire claw, was completely made of condensed profound energy, but it was solid and thick, as solid as a solid body.

This giant palm came with boundless majesty and majestic righteousness.

Wherever the palm print passed, boundless water vapor gathered, dissipating the scorching heat brought by the fire claws almost instantly.

Almost instantly, the giant palm passed over Princess Luojia's head and hit the fire claw that was heading down.

"boom!!!"

The deafening roar instantly resounded across the sky.

The terrifying energy suddenly swept out like a gust of wind, rolling and sweeping in all directions.

Under the raging energy storm, the surrounding woods were completely destroyed almost instantly. The surrounding area was filled with flying sand and rocks, and even the mines under their feet almost collapsed under the violent tremors.

If Princess Luojia and others were not powerful, it would be difficult to stand firm in this environment.

"Oh~ Wei Boyu, Wei Boyu, our Ji family is not kind to your Wei family. How did we get to this point?"

With a heavy sigh, a figure walked out of the raging energy storm and caught everyone's eyes.

He was a thin old man with a wide robe and big sleeves and a majestic demeanor.

Although from the outside, he showed his age, his back was still straight, his attitude was majestic, fierce and domineering, and he carried an air of majesty like the power of God.

Under the protection of his power, the energy shock waves raging around Princess Luojia and Wang Shouye subsided almost instantly.

Wherever he passed, everything was calm.

"Emperor Yuanping!"

Wei Boyu's expression changed, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart: "No, I've fallen into a trap!"

Wei Donglai looked even more horrified, his face turned pale, and he could hardly control himself and fell to the ground.

It’s over!

…
