In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
A few days later, Chen Shen, who got the agreed answer, smiled widely. However, when Bai Yong asked him who refined Kong Chaoming, he was stunned for a moment and didn't want to answer.
"If you don't tell me, I won't cooperate with you. I might be dissatisfied and make trouble when I'm trying to help you." Although Bai Yong is impulsive, he also knows how to use his advantages.
Chen Shen hesitated for only a moment before accepting the threat. "She's an ordinary person, and a woman."
"Ordinary?" Bai Yong didn't believe it. "If she was ordinary, how did she manage to refine Kong Chaoming?"
"I used to think she might be a hidden master, just like you. But recently, after observing her closely, I found that besides being ruthless and cruel, she is really just an ordinary person, without any internal strength at all."
"Nearby?" Bai Yong found the key words. "Did you kidnap this woman?"
Chen Shen stared at Bai Yong in surprise.
Bai Yong glared at him, "What are you looking at? Every failure is a learning experience. You've been putting me here for nearly thirty years, and can't you use your brain a little?"
"Yes, of course," Chen Shen replied. "Yes, I kidnapped them. I kidnapped both of them."
"I want to meet this person." Bai Yong asked, not worried at all by the suspicion in Chen Shen's eyes. "Since you've kidnapped him, he definitely won't tell you everything. I want to ask him some questions and see if there's anything I need to pay attention to."
When Ling Ran opened the door and saw the person knocking, he was really startled, "Who are you?"
The person in front of him was at least two meters tall, but he was so thin that his bones were just visible, no different from a bamboo pole.
Bai Yong looked over Ling Ran's shoulder at the woman in the room, "Zhou Xiang?"
This hoarse and raspy voice definitely did not belong to the person who kidnapped them.
Zhou Xiang walked over to his lover, "Looking for me? Who are you?"
Bai Yong carefully examined the woman in front of him. She was indeed an ordinary woman as Chen Shen had described. "I'm Bai Yong. I was abducted by Chen Shen in the name of a fight."
Zhou Xiang wasn't surprised. Instead, he looked back at the roof. "You've exposed the coward's name. Why isn't he talking?"
Coward? Bai Yong laughed. This woman is interesting. No wonder Chen Shen dared not show up. He would rather agree to his condition of shutting down the surveillance in this room than to face this woman directly.
"The name you gave him fits perfectly. Isn't he a coward? Back then, when he challenged his opponent to a duel, he used the environment and drugs to drug his opponent, then tortured him to a point where he was worse than death."
"You definitely didn't come here to tell me about his despicable behavior, nor did you come here to tell me about your sorrows. Just say what you want to say." Zhou Xiang didn't want to listen to nonsense. This man must have been tortured by Chen Shen, but he still came to talk to her. He must have a purpose.
Although Bai Yong was choked, he was happy in his heart. "The Chen family is an alchemy family. He plans to refine the blood pill. He said that Kong Chaoming was refined into a blood pill by you. I was curious, so I came to take a look."
Zhou Xiang looked him up and down. "Why did he choose you as his partner, a man he had kidnapped as a test subject? Don't you have any idea?"
You believe the words of a despicable villain who will do anything to achieve his goal? Even if the refining is successful, what good will it do you? Is he using the blood pill to tempt you? You're already a prisoner, so what good will it do to increase your power? Will you be able to break out of here? Or beat Chen Shen, that coward, to death?
"Have you ever considered that by helping him refine the Blood Pill, your power will increase, and you will become the material for a higher-level Blood Pill?"
Is this really an ordinary woman? Bai Yong didn't believe it. He hadn't even mentioned his cooperation with Chen Shen, but this woman guessed it and tried to sow discord between them. "Haha, people like us have different pursuits than you."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "Don't be so righteous. Do you think you have to sacrifice other people's lives to pursue a higher realm? You know the ingredients of the blood pill, yet you still talk about it so casually? I don't agree with you. Please! If the blood pill was so easy to refine, haha, the world would have been in chaos because of you long ago."
Ling Ran stretched out his hand and pushed the defenseless Bai Yong away, closing the door with a bang.
Looking at the locked door, Bai Yong's eyes flickered.
Zhou Xiang lay back in bed and covered himself with the quilt.
Ling Ran sat down on the edge of the bed. "Wife, what others want to do is none of your business. Let them do whatever they want! Those people who were abducted didn't have a good ending at all. Isn't it just right that Bai Yong is willing to collude with Chen Shen? If they make some noise, we'll have a chance too!"
Zhou Xiang wanted to lift the quilt from his head. "I just hate these people's attitude of disregarding other people's lives in pursuit of realm. It's very similar to the Kong family's attitude towards me. It's disgusting."
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, let's pay attention to the recent movements."
After waiting for a few days, there was no movement in the building. I wondered if it hadn't started yet, or if they had chosen another place to refine the elixir.
Just when Zhou Xiang had given up hope, he heard a sound similar to an explosion. The house shook a few times. Ling Ran quickly opened the door, but Zhou Xiang sat still. "It's useless. Even if it's an earthquake, we are the same indoors and outdoors. We are still in the same building outside."
Ling Ran looked around and saw no one, so he closed the door and went back inside. "I wanted to see if the explosion was a furnace explosion or a self-destruction. Aren't these two common occurrences when refining pills?"
Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. This man asked her to teach him some common sense about cultivating immortals for no reason. Was it because he wanted to deal with such a situation that might happen at any time?
"Both the self-detonation and the furnace explosion are quite powerful. Sigh~ I wonder who got tricked by that coward and became the material for the blood pill. How is this any different from cannibalism?"
"This is called dog-eat-dog," Ling Ran disagreed with his wife's opinion. "They all look so high and mighty. It would be great if they could bite each other. Maybe we can come out on top."
"How long do you think we can continue living like this? When that cowardly coward can no longer make trouble for us, he'll come and make trouble for us," Zhou Xiang said, resting his hands under his head. "I wonder where Jiang Weizhong and Luo Mingyuan are?"
"How about we take a look around while he's refining the elixir?" Ling Ran suggested.
Zhou wanted to refuse, "No, I still insist on staying the same in the face of all changes. Just because that person doesn't have time to monitor us doesn't mean others won't monitor us. I don't want to move. I'll wait for him to move."
This wait lasted for several months. After the explosion sounded four times, Zhou Xiang's room was disturbed by the sound again. "Zhou Xiang."
"Haha," Zhou Xiang chuckled, "What? Can't you refine it?"
Chen Shen was not surprised by Zhou Xiang's words. After all, it was not easy for him to go out and refine the spirits in a big way. He could only do it in this building. "Yes, I want to negotiate a deal with you."
"No conditions are negotiable." Zhou wanted to know what Chen Shen's plan was, and she refused without hesitation.
"Don't you want to leave here?"
Chen Shen threw out what he thought was the most favorable condition, but Zhou Xiang didn't believe it.
"Do you think I'm that fool Bai Yong? Cooperating with you is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. I don't trust you."
