Translator: 549690339
So, a peaceful month had passed, and Pei Shiliang finally began to feel uneasy, sensing that something was wrong.
As for Liang Sheng, he kept to his routine, occasionally visiting the spiritual field and using high-quality Qi Cultivation Pills to appease Huang Yifan and his brothers into working hard on their farming.
In his spare time, Liang Sheng naturally cultivated, drew talismans, refined pills, and practiced symbol charms, living a life of utmost tranquility…
Until one night, when the entire Pei Family was wiped out, shocking the entire Market!
Market, Hua Tian Sect’s store.
Liang Sheng had once again flawlessly completed his task, refining a batch of high-quality Qi Cultivation Pills. Yang Zhaoyu was naturally very pleased with this, as it was a very profitable business.
At this time, watching Liang Sheng, who was still diligently working, Yang Zhaoyu couldn’t help but feel even more satisfied. However, at this moment, a panicked Outer Sect disciple rushed in.
He whispered a few words to Yang Zhaoyu, immediately making his face change and his heart fill with shock.
The Pei Family had been wiped out?
Wasn’t Pei Shiping at the Pei Family’s residence?
At this moment, Yang Zhaoyu didn’t care about anything else. Whether the Pei Family was wiped out or not was not important; what mattered was Pei Shiping.
If he had also died, then the situation would be completely different, as it concerned a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and no matter what, it was not a trivial matter.
The managers from the other three sects and six orders had the same reaction as Yang Zhaoyu at this time, and they all naturally appeared at the Administration Office.
Yao Mu also appeared before them at this moment. As the only Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed at the Hundred-Year Market, he was now the most serious of them all.
This was because he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed in the Market by the Three Sects and Six Orders, yet he had no sense of the Pei Family’s extermination.
It was clear just how extraordinary the people behind the scenes were, as such a situation had never occurred in the Market before.
Yao Mu quickly reached a unanimous agreement with the managers of the Three Sects and Six Orders, and then they all hurriedly left to cooperate in the investigation.
Although Liang Sheng seemed indifferent to this situation on the surface, he couldn’t help but calculate in his heart if there were any loopholes in his plans.
After confirming several times that there were no omissions, he completely relaxed and continued to refine pills in the store. However, the other Alchemists in the store were occasionally having their furnaces explode.
This was because they were not calm at the moment. The sudden annihilation of Pei Shiping’s family, which concerned a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, was a major event that they could not ignore.
This involved a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, after all!
Therefore, they couldn’t help but admire Liang Sheng for being so composed. No wonder he was known as the Pill Maniac amongst the Loose Cultivation Alchemists in the Market.
He could remain undisturbed even amidst such a major event, which probably had a lot to do with the depths of his alchemy skills.
In addition to Liang Sheng, there was one other person who remained calm in the store, and that was naturally Zhou Kang. His natural talent for Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil told him that this matter would not affect him at all.
Since that was the case, why should he worry? This matter wouldn’t affect him, and besides, it wasn’t his concern to begin with.
However, precisely because of this, he became even more interested in Liang Sheng, who, unlike him, did not possess the ability to Seek Fortune and Avoid Evil.
Completely absorbed in refining pills, he was utterly oblivious to the outside world. This level of focus couldn’t help but make Zhou admire him even more.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Yang Zhaoyu returned to the store. However, his face was even more unsightly now.
He didn’t hide anything from Zhou Kang, and soon Zhou found out what had happened to the Pei Family and why Yang Zhaoyu’s face looked so bad.
Poison Master!
An Alchemist that refines poison pills!
The Pei Family was destroyed by poisoning!
With a terrifying Poison Master like this in the Market, how could Yang Zhaoyu not be worried? Therefore, all the store’s Alchemists, including Liang Sheng, were summoned by Yang Zhaoyu.
“Everyone, have any of you ever heard of a Spiritual Pill capable of killing Qi Cultivation Cultivators instantly? This pill is colorless and tasteless, and after infecting a cultivator for a month, it suddenly erupts, causing instant death.”
The Alchemists looked at one another, as they were all Sect alchemists who refined pills for cultivation purposes and had never researched poison pills before.
On the other hand, it was Liang Sheng who spoke up slowly, “Manager, 1 happen to know of a poison pill that can instantly kill Qi Cultivators. However, I don’t know of any pills that suddenly erupt after a month.”
Liang Sheng volunteered this information, but it only made Yang Zhaoyu’s face even more unsightly. Even Liang Sheng didn’t know, which meant the situation was even more complicated than he had thought.
However, Yang Zhaoyu calmed down and continued to ask Liang Sheng, “Daoist Chen, what kind of cultivation level is needed to refine the poison pill you mentioned?”
“At least the Qi Cultivation 8th Layer State is required. 1 initially came across this pill formula from other Daoist friends in the Market.
1 actually tried refining this pill myself, as I’m obsessed with elixirs, but unfortunately, 1 ended up failing in the end.
But I’ve compared the difficulty of refining this poison pill with that of other mid-to-high-level Spiritual Pills and concluded that it requires at least the Qi Cultivation 8th Layer State to potentially succeed in refining.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhaoyu nodded slightly, and the other Alchemists did not raise any objections at this time, as they had long stopped doubting Liang Sheng’s words.
In their hearts, they had already formed a consensus: if Chen Sheng’s cultivation aptitude was a little better, he would undoubtedly be an Alchemy Master.
“Alright, thank you, Daoist Chen, for clearing up my confusion. You all may continue with your work, as I have some matters to attend to. I won’t disturb you further..”
