"None of your business."
Xiang Sheng regained his composure, his expression warmed up a little, and he pulled Sijiu up.
"I know you've recently gained Elder Wen's favor, and you'll have a good life in the building. Wouldn't it be a pity if you lost your life in vain?"
Sijiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his expression changed slightly: "Sister, you mean, the City Lord's Mansion is in danger? But Lord Ling is protecting it, and City Lord Ji is controlling the formation."
"Nothing is absolute."
Xiang Sheng said lightly, "If you're willing to listen to me, don't go to this flower viewing banquet."
"Of course I listen to my sister."
Sijiu quickly agreed, but his doubts did not diminish at all.
Although my sister didn't say it explicitly, her words and actions clearly implied that she didn't trust City Lord Ji and was certain that the flower viewing banquet would be very dangerous.
Why didn't she tell Lord Ling about her idea, but instead agreed to Lord Ling's plan and go to the flower viewing banquet together?
The adult world is so hard to understand...
Sijiu retreated dazed, and the room fell silent.
Xiang Sheng returned to the table and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea. The ripples on the tea surface reflected her slightly cold eyes.
Taoist Yuan came to Zhiyao Star three months ago and said that the transaction date would be soon.
The flower viewing banquet of City Lord Ji that Ling Ying mentioned was also prepared three months ago. It was too much of a coincidence.
Moreover, in order to help them, City Lord Ji was willing to use even the formation that made him safe and secure. Was he truly enthusiastic, or... was he the trading partner of Blood Pill, and was using sweet words to trick them into coming to the Hongmen Banquet?
Of course, all this is just her speculation.
Maybe City Lord Ji is really a kind-hearted person, but all the clues now point to something that has misled her, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else.
However, she always prepares for the worst, and this time is no exception.
If things really develop in the direction she speculated...
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly flicked his sleeves and released a restriction that enveloped the entire room. Then he opened his red lips and said, "Nier, bring Taoist Yuan to see me."
"yes!"
The spirit of the Hunyuan secret realm, Xiang Nie immediately replied crisply, and then a secret realm vortex appeared out of thin air, and Yuan Dao Ren was kicked out directly by Xiang Zhu.
Yuan Dao Ren waited in the secret realm for many days, but he never saw the owner of the secret realm die, and he felt uneasy.
Being kicked out at this moment, he suddenly saw Xiang Sheng sitting in front of him unharmed. He had no time to hide his feelings and his face changed instantly.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Yuan is surprised that I am still alive."
Xiang Sheng looked at Taoist Yuan with a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Is it because I didn't take the blood pill?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Daoren trembled violently and lost his voice in horror: "How did you know..."
"The matter of the blood pill was naturally told to me by fellow Daoist himself."
Xiang Sheng's smile remained unchanged. "I also know that the Blood Pill transaction will be taking place soon."
Taoist Yuan's breath was choked, his eyes widened, and he stared at Xiang Sheng, unable to speak.
How does she know everything?!
Did I really tell him? Why doesn't he have any memory of this?
“Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you know that the distinguished guest who wants the blood pill is looking for you all over the city.
If he can’t find it for a long time, he will report this to Huacheng…”
When Yuan Daoist heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Xiang Sheng and burst into tears:
"Senior, I was wrong! I should never, ever plot against you.
I have no choice but to do this. If I were trapped by you and unable to complete my mission on time, I would be neither able to live nor to die!"
"So you want to use the blood pill to harm me?"
Xiang Sheng's tone was light and emotionless, "Do you know the correct way to use the blood pill?"
"I'm telling you, can you let me go?"
Taoist Yuan's eyes showed a pleading look. "After this deal is done, Huacheng will reward you with a great deal of cultivation resources. I don't want a single cent, I'll give it all to you."
Xiang Sheng sneered: "Are you bargaining with me?"
"How dare I?"
Taoist Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "But if I don't go out and complete the deal, I will have no way to survive! Either way, I'm going to die. I have no choice but to give it a try!"
I know that Senior has many methods, and he must have the ability to forcibly search my soul. But if Senior doesn't leave me a way to survive, I will risk my own soul to explode and not give you any information!
"In that case, then that's it."
Xiang Sheng sighed softly, "I don't like to force people to do things against their will. You should just commit suicide and make amends."
Taoist Yuan was completely stunned when he heard this.
No...why doesn't this female cultivator play by the rules?
If she died, she would get nothing.
And if she chooses to let herself go, she can get a large amount of cultivation resources.
Weighing the two options, she actually chose the former?!
"wrong."
Xiang Sheng's tone suddenly changed. Just when Taoist Yuan thought she had changed her mind, he heard her laugh again:
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, self-destruction is so boring. You'll die anyway. Why don't you keep your useful body and use it for an experiment for me?"
Taoist Yuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this: "Experiment?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Sheng raised his hand and a light flashed, and a jade box containing the blood pill appeared.
"You want to use the blood pill to plot against me, but unfortunately I am a cautious person by nature. I will never easily swallow things I get from others.
But after seeing you, I suddenly became curious: what would be the effect of taking this blood pill directly without refining it in the correct way? "
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Daoren's body trembled violently, and his defenses were finally completely broken. He collapsed and shouted:
"I say! Senior, I say!
This blood pill requires human blood as a medicine to suppress the violent blood power and gradually refine it.
If you take it directly, your blood power will break through your immortal body, disturbing your spirit and soul, causing you immense pain and torture until you die!"
"Human blood medicine?"
Xiang Sheng thought of the two drained corpses and asked, "Any human blood will do?"
Taoist Yuan numbly shook his head, "You have to feed the sacrifice with ghost grass, and the blood you release will be useful."
"What are the benefits of the blood pill?"
"I have no idea."
Taoist Yuan had a bitter look on his face. "I'm not worthy of that divine pill. I only heard from an elder that after eating it, one can touch the avenue and practice, making rapid progress!"
"One last question."
Xiang Sheng stared at his pale face and said, "You have both the Ghost Grass and the Blood Pill in your hands. Why don't you take them and strengthen yourself?"
"I have ghost grass in my hand?"
Taoist Yuan was stunned, and then quickly thought of the Soul-Refining Pill.
There was no other reason. The only things he gave to Xiang Sheng were the Blood Pill and the Soul-Refining Pill.
That was the reward Huacheng gave him, but he put the ghost grass in it...
"Hahaha...I see."
Taoist Yuan laughed softly, and soon the laughter turned into crying, and then he cried and laughed again, with a hint of madness.
It turns out Huacheng had no intention of letting him go from the beginning.
In this transaction, he was also sold as a sacrifice, and he even thought about joining Huacheng after the transaction was completed.
He's a complete joke!
