Chapter 106 Discovering the Neighbor's Secret

"I finally succeeded. I didn't expect that the last step, the fusion of medicinal properties, would be so difficult."

Li Yan looked at the opened alchemy furnace with bloodshot eyes. Three round, light red elixirs the size of thumbs were suspended in the air.

This is the result of Li Yan's control through the [Qi and Blood Stone]. His left hand is still holding the handle of the alchemy furnace tightly.

Then he took out a fine-mesh net bag from the side and fished out the three light red pills like fish.

"It's not easy. It took nearly half of my medicinal materials to refine these three pills."

Li Yan pinched a [Qi and Blood Pill] that was still a little hot and sighed.

"But the quality is pretty good, not defective."

Li Yan carefully observed the three [Qi and Blood Pills] he had practiced for the first time in his life, and his face showed a hint of satisfaction.

After the elixir is refined, different elixirs have different identification methods for defective products, good products, and high-quality products.

The identification method of [Qi and Blood Pill] is to check the redness of the skin of the pill.

Defective products have almost no red color; good products are light red; high-quality products are naturally red.

If the efficacy of a good product is one, the efficacy of a defective product is only 70%, while that of a high-quality product can be 150%.

As for the price, a good product costs 5 taels of silver, a defective product costs 2 taels of silver, and a fine product costs 10 taels of silver.

However, because [Qi-Blood Pills] are too common, most of the [Qi-Blood Pills] on the market are good products, and defective products will only be circulated in villages and towns below the county seat.

The high-quality ones will flow directly to the major forces, and only these major forces will digest the high-quality [Qi and Blood Pills].

Ordinary people don't have this kind of money, so they can pay twice the price in exchange for a 50% improvement in their cultivation progress.

"Put the elixir away, take a rest, and continue refining the elixir at night."

Li Yan yawned and put the three [Qi and Blood Pills] in his hand into the jade bottle he purchased.

These jade bottles are all made of [Zhou Baiyu], and [Zhou Baiyu] veins are everywhere, so [Zhou Baiyu] is not valuable, and these secondary processed jade bottles naturally cannot be sold at a high price.

Li Yan spent fifty taels to buy two hundred of these jade vases. Seeing that he was a big customer, the boss gave Li Yan ten as gifts.

When he bought these jade bottles, he was thinking about when he could fill them with elixirs.

Now it seems that the time required is not short.

After cleaning the newly cooled alchemy furnace, Li Yan picked up the alchemy garbage in the trash can and walked up.

Coming to the kitchen, Xiao Zhao was already making dinner.

"Yeah," Xiao Zhao said hello with a smile after seeing Li Yan, and then continued to stir-fry the food in the iron pot.

Li Yan looked over and saw, yo, the pot was full of meat and vegetables. When Xiao Zhao wasn't paying attention, Li Yan picked up a piece of meat with lightning speed and put it into his mouth.

"Venison still has the tender meaty texture of a young deer."

After eating too much, Li Yan's mouth obviously ate a lot more than in his previous life, and he could tell the variety and age of the meat as soon as he ate it.

"Xiao Zhao, where did you get the deer meat? I didn't see you buying it this morning."

Li Yan asked casually while pouring the alchemy garbage in the trash can into the stove and burning it.

"Hey," Xiao Zhao was cooking with his right hand and gesticulating with his left hand.

"I didn't eat it secretly, I just helped you taste the saltiness. Well, it tastes good."

"Yeah," Xiao Zhao smiled happily after hearing Li Yan's answer, and then pointed out the source of the venison.

"You said it was from your next door neighbor, because you gave them some vegetables, and they gave you deer meat."

Hearing this answer, Li Yan nodded and said nothing more.

Although he didn't have much contact with his neighbor next door, he still met him a few times.

They were a couple. The man hunted for a living and only came home once every few days.

The woman is a clerk in a jewelry store. She goes out at sunrise and returns home at sunset every day.

The couple seemed to be getting along very harmoniously. When Li Yan met the two of them, all he saw was the scene of the woman walking around holding the man's arm.

However, as a warrior in the blood refining realm, Li Yan has such a hearing that he often hears the voices of different men appearing in his home when the man goes hunting.

The gossip about assisting others made Li Yan guess that this woman should have stolen the man while her husband was away, unable to bear the loneliness.

However, Li Yan didn't want to care about such trivial family matters.

After eating a meal of venison from this man today, Li Yan decided to tell the honest man the truth of the matter.

As for what he would do next, it was beyond Li Yan's control.

After dinner, usually after Xiao Zhao washes the dishes and pots, and has nothing else to do, he will come to Li Yan and take out a short storybook to read.

But today Li Yan wanted to continue refining elixirs, so he ran to his practice room after dinner in the evening.

The disappointed Xiao Zhao had no choice but to go back to his room to rest after finishing his work.

As for the story books she likes to read, they are not interesting anymore.

What Xiao Zhao didn't see was that not long after she returned to the room, the door to the training room opened, and the person who came out was not someone who looked like Li Yan.

After gently closing the door, Li Yan stood on his toes and spread his wings like a roc, crossing the ten-foot-high wall and reaching the roof of his neighbor's house.

At this time, the lights were still on in the house. Li Yan stretched out his little finger, and the energy and blood gathered on it. He lightly poked the tiles on the roof, and a small hole appeared silently.

Li Yan moved his eyes closer and began to observe the situation inside the house.

As long as the man's wife leaves, he will pass the note with something written in his hand through the small hole to the man's eyes.

However, when Li Yan looked down, he did not see the two figures. Instead, he saw two dummies sitting on chairs.

In this way, looking from the outside, you can see the figures of the two people.

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong. They must have a secret."

Li Yan saw the problem at a glance. Ordinary people would use a dummy to pretend that they were still in the house.

However, Li Yan did not act rashly. Instead, he blocked the small hole in the tiles with a weed growing in the gap between the tiles.

After that, he lay motionless on the tiles, barely even breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a mechanism opening reached Li Yan's ears.

"It's really not that simple. It also has a hidden secret passage."

Li Yan thought to himself.

"Shouyong, are you still going to look for it in that place tomorrow? You've almost searched the area and still can't find it. Why don't you find it somewhere else?"

A woman's voice said with a questioning tone.

"Yufeng, let me search for a few more days. I have a hunch that I will definitely find it there."

After being silent for a while, the man said to the woman.

"Okay, then be careful and don't let people from the Jin family discover your traces. My scattered spies told me that people from the Jin family have begun to appear in your area."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. I am just an ordinary hunter now. As long as I don't show any flaws, the Jin family will not lower their status to embarrass a humble person like me."

"On the contrary, the Jin family is also looking in my direction. Doesn't this mean that the direction I am looking for is correct? Maybe I just didn't look carefully enough before."

The man's voice became a little excited when he said this.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

The woman's tone was helpless.

"By the way, I recently heard rumors from people around me that you stole people while I was away. Do you think I don't know?"

"You are obviously just meeting the spy."

"It's really hard for you. For the sake of the family's mission, you are being chewed by these people and your reputation is ruined."

The man said with some distress.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you find that place, our mission will be completed. When we return to the family, we will be people from two different worlds. Their rumors will not have any impact on me."

"On the contrary, their rumors at this time put a layer of disguise on my behavior of meeting the informant, reducing the risk of exposure."

There was an indifferent attitude in the woman's voice.

"Well, since you don't care, then it's okay."

"However, before I leave, I want to kill a few of the ones with the longest tongues. What do you think?"

The man asked the woman in a harsh tone.

"Whatever, just kill a few ordinary people. Keep it hidden and don't make people suspicious of us."

"Don't worry about me doing my job."

After that, the two stopped talking and began to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

"Family? Are you on a mission? Looking for something? Are the Jin family looking for it too?"

"I want to see what you are looking for?"

Li Yan thought to himself.

Afterwards, he left the roof, returned to his training room, and rummaged through his things.

After finding the thing, he went to the roof next door again, poured the lit drug into the crack of the previous hole.

Li Yan pressed against the tiles and listened carefully to the breathing of the two people.

After his breathing became long and steady, Li Yan got off the roof, came to the back door, unlocked the door, and walked in without hesitation.

After Li Yan came to this world, he specially learned lockpicking skills from professionals in order to be prepared.

Seeing the two people sleeping on the bed, Li Yan was still a little worried, so he stepped forward to check their condition carefully.

He was sleeping soundly, not pretending to be asleep.

At this time, Li Yan felt relieved and began to carefully rummage through the boxes.

Soon, he found the switch to the secret room.

Li Yan opened the secret room and walked in. It was an underground secret room built downwards.

In the secret room, Li Yan saw many maps, including Linjiang City and topographic maps around Linjiang City.

Some maps also have big red crosses drawn on them, which are obviously abandoned places.

Then, there is a bookcase. There are books on the bookcase with names of people written on them.

Li Yan opened the book and took a look and knew that these names were the woman's spies, and the booklet should be the information provided by those spies.

Then, Li Yan saw another wooden box, which was locked.

The lock was very simple. Li Yan used a needle to pry it open. Inside were banknotes and a ledger.

"This seems to be their activity funds."

After reading the account books, Li Yan came to this conclusion.

"The funds are quite sufficient."

Even though part of it was used, there were still more than 5,000 taels of silver notes in the wooden box.

However, Li Yan still resisted the desire to reach out and put the things back to their original positions intact.

Now is not a good time to take action.

After that, Li Yan found nothing else here.

Regarding the news about the family and that thing that the two people mentioned, there is no information here, which makes the two people very cautious.

After that, Li Yan left their house and returned to his basement.

"Pay special attention to these two people in the future, and then I will start moving."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Since he knew there was danger nearby, he naturally could not wait foolishly for the danger to come, but avoided the possible danger as quickly as possible.

"Bang", because of a moment of distraction, the alchemy failed again this time.

"Try again."

Li Yan would not go to bed until he finished refining the remaining medicinal materials today.

And the reason why he worked so hard was to make the clone of Guiyuan Sect into an alchemy genius, in order to get Xia Lingshuang's attention and Guiyuan Sect's strong cultivation.

He had already learned from Hu Meirou that the spiritual medicines of Guiyuan Sect were all kept by Xia Lingshuang.
