When Wang Qing saw me come up to ask questions, he nodded to me and pulled me aside: "This pharmacy does have problems. I actually found some information about it."

I looked at Wang Qing with some surprise: "The people of Fengmen Village are known for being cold and unapproachable, how come they told you the news?"

"Of course, the other party wasn't that kind; I just managed to extract information from them."

Wang Qing shook his head and explained to me, "The poison that Qu Xuelin gave me before had several ingredients that are quite rare. I went to the pharmacy to buy these medicines just now, but they told me that they were sold out."

"This isn't exactly valuable intelligence."

I shrugged and replied, "Fengmen Village is a black market, and the things it sells are rare items. The things you mentioned are hard to find in the secular world, and you can't even buy them with money. Under these circumstances, it's possible that someone knowledgeable in pharmacology could come here, pack up these things, take them back to the surface, and sell them to make a profit."

"This situation is certainly possible, but I think the possibility of such a coincidence is not high, because of the seven kinds of poisonous flowers I need, five of them are missing here, and two of them have no other use except for being used in the Seven Flowers in One Stem poison."

Wang Qing paused for a moment: "According to the person at the pharmacy, their medicines are replenished every seven days, but the medicines I need will not be back on the shelves for another four days. Based on the timing, it just matches the time when I need to buy medicines from Qu Xuelin and prepare the poison."

I gradually realized the seriousness of the situation. As a medical expert, Wang Qing certainly had a deeper understanding of poison than I did. After thinking for a moment, I said, "If what you say is true, and Qu Xuelin really bought the raw materials here, then if we stake out here every day, is there any chance we can catch him?"

"Remember when I was poisoned before, and I asked you to help me buy medicine? If Qu Xuelin also has someone else buy raw materials for him, how would we know which one is his person? Besides, the buying and selling information here is completely confidential, and we have no way of finding his whereabouts."

After Wang Qing finished explaining his analysis, he looked at me with a fierce expression and said, "Actually, I have another idea. We can kidnap the people at the pharmacy and force them to tell us the buyer's information. What do you think of this method?"

“I just thought of this method too, because it’s the only way we can get in touch with Qu Xuelin, but there are two difficulties.”

I held up two fingers: "First, this is Fengmen Village, and we are completely under their control. If anything goes wrong, the people of Fengmen Village will want to deal with us, and we won't even have a chance to run away! Second, we probably won't be able to control the pharmacy owner either. When I saw Wang Hong last time, she was preparing to threaten him with poison, but the people at the pharmacy didn't care. It seems that the people who work here are not only selling medicine, but also experts in pharmacology."

"Then we'll have no choice but to take it by force."

Wang Qing clenched his fist: "As long as we catch the people at the pharmacy and force them to reveal Qu Xuelin's whereabouts, we can act quickly and find a way to catch this bastard and resolve this matter once and for all! If it's too troublesome, we can hide the people we catch first. As long as we do things discreetly, the people of Fengmen Village may not be able to find him in a short time."

"Okay, let's proceed with your plan."

I hesitated for less than five seconds before agreeing to Wang Qing's conditions.

My purpose in entering Fengmen Village was to find Duan Jinyan's whereabouts. Now, I can't get any information about Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, and I can't confirm Wang Qing's identity either.

I've always suspected that Qu Xuelin, whom Wang Qing is looking for, is working for some powerful force and holds a much higher position than us ordinary villagers.

If I can help Wang Qing capture Qu Xuelin, I might be able to extract some information from him that I wouldn't otherwise have access to.

As for whether this would offend Fengmen Village, I, in my youthful arrogance, didn't consider it.

After all, I don't have the qualifications of a villager in Fengmen Village. This is my only chance to come here. Even if I offend them, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Wang Qing and I hit it off immediately, and then we divided up the tasks.

The five of us, excluding Wang Hong, split into two groups: Wang Qing and Man Jing in one group, and me and Monkey in the other. We took turns keeping an eye on the pharmacy in Fengmen Village.

Wang Hong was responsible for keeping an eye on us from a distance. If our operation failed or encountered problems, she would contact Lin Que and ask Jiang Man and the others to leave Fengmen Village as soon as possible.

In my mind, this plan should have been quite simple to carry out. We just needed to keep an eye on the people at the pharmacy and find a suitable opportunity to kidnap them when they weren't looking.

After waiting for seven or eight hours, there was still no movement from the pharmacy.

This situation really worried me. When Wang Qing took over the shift, I said to him, "All the shops in Fengmen Village are open day and night, but we've been waiting all day and no one has come out. They can't possibly be eating and sleeping inside, can they?"

"I'll go take a look."

When Wang Qing heard that the people inside had never come out, he went in and took a look around. When he came back and saw me, his face turned ugly: "We underestimated Fengmen Village. I originally thought that the people inside would be like pharmacies on the ground, with everyone working on time and leaving on time! But when I went in to take a look, I found that all the shopkeepers at the counters had been replaced."

I instantly understood what was going on: "When we were in the residential area, why did we hardly see anyone wearing different clothes except for the people patrolling Fengmen Village? It turns out that these people don't live with us at all!"

The monkey scratched his head: "But their pharmacy doesn't have a backyard at all, so where do these people live? Do they have a basement or something?"

"No, even if they have a basement, they can't live in one place year after year. Otherwise, these people would probably go crazy from the long-term repression!"

I pondered for a moment, then strode away into the distance: "I roughly know what's going on here."

Seeing me move, Wang Qing quickly caught up: "Duan Tao, what did you find out?"

"Fengmen Village is said to be a world independent of the world, but I think it's more than that. To be precise, there are at least two other worlds within Fengmen Village."

Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, I said in a deep voice, "The people of Fengmen Village must live in a world that we cannot see."
