124: 84 Blood Rhinoceros Pills, Yang Qingshu_3 124: 84 Blood Rhinoceros Pills, Yang Qingshu_3 Ye Hong’s face was full of envy.

“Speaking of which, if the Yu Family hadn’t been annihilated, they would definitely be the number one Cultivator family in Zhao Country,”

said Bai Bing.

“If you’re looking for someone to blame, blame the Yu Family for offending the Maniac Blade Ascendant.

Otherwise, how could they have been wiped out?”

Chen Hao disagreed.

“Hmph, what do you mean ‘offend’?

It’s quite possible that the Maniac Blade Ascendant committed murder for loot!”

Shen Long retorted with a cold snort.

“Who knows?

With so many disciples in the Yu Family, it’s not surprising that some of them unwittingly provoked a Core Formation Cultivator,”

Chen Hao said.

“When you want to accuse someone of a crime, any excuse will do.

Now that the Yu Family is gone, you can throw any sort of dirt on them,”

Shen Long said coldly.

He was doing it on purpose.

As Chen Hao had mentioned, Shen Long was an Alchemist and had also cultivated Wind Rolls the Remnants of Clouds to Great Perfection, indeed drawing some attention.

Naturally, Shen Long had thought of a strategy and planned to let others slowly discover his identity as a member of the Yu Family.

“Taoist Friend Shen seems to sympathize with the Yu Family a lot.

I heard that several members of the Yu Family managed to escape the disaster.

Could it be that Taoist Friend Shen is one of the Yu Family’s disciples?”

Chen Hao said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“If I say I am, would Taoist Friend Chen believe me?”

Shen Long responded with a laugh.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.

The Yu Family has long been destroyed, and there’s not much to talk about.

I propose we exchange goods!”

Ye Hong quickly changed the subject.

All the Cultivators had no objections, and Ye Hong was the first to take out items for exchange.

He brought out raw materials, Demon Cores, Monster Beasts Materials, Artifact Refining materials, and more.

The Cultivators took turns taking out items, announcing what they wished to exchange.

Shen Long took out several bottles of second-tier Elixirs, in exchange for second-tier Pill Formulas or second-tier Demon Cores.

Since there were no second-tier Pill Formulas among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, Shen Long used three types of second-tier Elixirs to exchange for some hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine and second-tier Artifact Refining materials.

An hour or so later, the Cultivators left one after another.

Shen Long hadn’t gone far when Chen Hao quickly approached him and politely said, “Taoist Friend Shen, I meant no offense just now; it was just idle talk.

Don’t take it to heart.”

“Taoist Friend Chen worries too much; it was just a normal chat.

Remember to come and get the Blood Rhinoceros Pill,”

Shen Long said.

Chen Hao nodded and agreed.

Back in Qingtang Courtyard, Shen Long entered a secret chamber, took out a blue Messaging Plate, infused a spell into it, and instructed, “Master Nephew Chen, find a way to spread a rumor that Sun Tianfeng acted upon lust and murdered a female disciple of the Liu Family.”

“Yes, Master Uncle Yu,”

Chen Li agreed.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate and muttered to himself, “This way, for the short term, Sun Tianfeng won’t be troubling Liu Yuruo.”

If the Liu Family got wind of this news, they would surely talk to Sun Tianfeng.

Even if it wasn’t Sun Tianfeng’s doing, he wouldn’t have the time to trouble Liu Yuruo anymore.

A day later, the news that Sun Tianfeng acted upon lust and killed a disciple of the Liu Family spread quickly.

In a tranquil courtyard with gray tiles, a handsome young man in white robes sat with Sun Tianfeng in a stone pavilion, talking about something.

“Slander, this is slander,”

Sun Tianfeng cursed.

“Taoist Friend Sun, I advise you it’s better to lay low for a while.

Quite a few Qi Refinement female Cultivators have disappeared mysteriously after following you.

No doubt you have many enemies.

Even if the Liu Family doesn’t believe it, if people keep bringing it up to the Liu Family, it’ll be troublesome for you even if you did nothing wrong.

You’re just a Loose Cultivator; if the Liu Family decides to destroy you, who would seek justice for you?”

the robed young man advised.

“Thank you for the reminder, Taoist Friend Yang.

I should leave the marketplace and find somewhere to hide!”

Sun Tianfeng said gratefully.

He practiced Yin Harvesting Yang Replenishing and had indeed killed many female Cultivators for his cultivation.

If the Liu Family traced it back to him, even if he hadn’t killed a disciple of the Liu Family, uncovering his murders of other female Cultivators would be problematic.

After all, he was a Loose Cultivator with no fixed abode; leaving the Profound Yin Marketplace was of no consequence to him.

“Don’t mention it.

I, Yang Qingshu, cannot bear to see a friend in trouble.

Leave as soon as you can.

The night is long, and dreams abound,”

the robed young man persuaded.

Sun Tianfeng nodded, got up, and left.

Yang Qingshu casually set up a soundproof shield, took out a sparkling Array Plate, infused a spell into it, and said, “Taoist Friend Han, follow Sun Tianfeng, find a place where no one is around, and get rid of him.

Make the rumor that he murdered the Liu Family disciple appear credible, absolving us of any suspicion.”

“Yes, Taoist Friend Yang,”

a slightly hoarse male voice responded.

“Make it clean, last time you were careless and the Liu Family disciples saw us murder and loot, luckily we finished them off.

This time, we can’t let anyone else witness it,”

said Yang Qingshu gravely.

“Don’t worry, Taoist Friend Yang.

Third time’s the charm, I’ll take care of it.

But we should consider changing our method of killing Cultivators.

If we keep using the same method, it’ll eventually lead to trouble,”

the man suggested.

“I’ve already considered it and have made arrangements.

Just take care of him first; otherwise, if the Liu Family continues to send people to look for their missing disciples, it will hinder our operations,”

Yang Qingshu said.

“Understood,”

the man agreed.

Yang Qingshu put away the Messaging Plate, removed the soundproof shield, and muttered to himself, “When you’re ready to sleep, someone sends you a pillow.

This works out perfectly for me.”

······

In Qingtang Courtyard, Shen Long, Chen Hao, and Bai Bing sat in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Chen Hao held a blue porcelain bottle in his hand and a blood-red pill lay in the palm of his right hand, his eyes burning with passion.

“Not bad, Taoist Friend Shen’s Alchemy skills are quite impressive!

I’ll be seeking your help with Alchemy in the future,”

Chen Hao said with a smile.

“It’s nothing, just a small effort on my part.

If there are second-tier Pill Formulas available, I hope Taoist Friend Chen and Madam Chen will give priority to Shen,”

Shen Long said.

“Certainly,”

Chen Hao promised.

After chatting for a few more moments, Chen Hao and Bai Bing took their leave.
