City: Signing in starts with getting mind reading skills

Chapter 419 I Have No Choice

"Master Shi, if you want to get rid of me, you can do it on the way."

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "There is no need to let me know your identities."

"But you brought me here alive."

"There must be other purposes."

Shi Guipeng praised: "Smart."

"Master Zhou, actually we have no grievances or grudges."

"If you hadn't taken away my livelihood, I wouldn't want to do this."

"I heard that you are a martial arts genius. It would be a pity if you were destroyed like this."

"As long as you hand over the secret of alchemy, leave here immediately, and never deal with the martial arts family again, I will let you go."

Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned: "What's the secret to making alchemy?"

Shi Guipeng smiled lightly: "Master Zhou, everyone here is an alchemist, so you don't have to pretend to be confused."

"Everyone knows that alchemy skills require accumulation of experience to improve."

“Where does experience come from?”

"Of course I am constantly refining elixirs and piling up resources."

"Of course, talent is also important."

"I think I have a fair amount of talent. I have made countless alchemies for decades and devoted myself to it. No one can match me in terms of experience or understanding."

"Even so, my success rate of producing an elixir is only [-]%, and the probability of making a middle-grade elixir is no more than [-]%."

"You are 19 years old. Even if you made elixirs from your mother's womb, your experience is far less than mine. What's more, you are still a body refining realm warrior."

"But I have inquired about it. You can refine the first- and second-level elixirs effortlessly, and you can refine the middle-grade elixirs 100% of the time without any mistakes!"

"Even if you are extremely talented and far more talented than me, the gap won't be so huge."

"So I guess you must have some unknown secret that can greatly improve the success rate and quality of alchemy!"

Lin Qian and others nodded slightly.

They are all alchemists, and they know very well how difficult and slow it is to improve their alchemy skills.

Zhou Xiaoyu is 100% able to refine a middle-grade elixir at such a young age.

This ability is too incredible.

It cannot be explained by just four words: gifted.

Zhou Xiaoyu understood and couldn't help but sigh: "So this is your purpose."

"You really..."

"It ruined my plan."

Everyone was startled.

What does this mean?

"never mind."

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "That's it anyway."

"I'll just tell you."

"I do have a secret."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited.

Sure enough!

As long as they get Zhou Xiaoyu's secret, they can 100% refine the middle-grade elixir.

what does this mean?

Medicine gardens can earn far more wealth and resources than before.

Power will expand.

Their own martial arts cultivation can also be further improved.

……

There are so many benefits.

Zhou Xiaoyu spread his hands and said, "But I can't give it to you."

Everyone's face suddenly sank.

"You want to die!"

The old man sitting on the right side of Shi Guipeng slapped the table and shouted sharply.

"Who are you scaring?"

Zhou Xiaoyu was not afraid at all and smiled: "If I hand over the secret, you will kill me anyway, so why should I give it to you?"

The old man on the right was furious and stood up suddenly: "Do you really think I don't dare to take action?"

"Junior brother, calm down."

Shi Guipeng stretched out his hand to stop him and said in a gentle tone: "Master Zhou, you don't have to worry that we will kill you."

"If you hand over the secret, we can 100% refine the middle-grade elixir once we have it."

"Besides, you have to leave here and no longer do business with the family."

"This way there is no threat to us at all."

"Why should we kill you?"

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "It makes sense, but aren't you afraid that after you let me go, I will tell the Zhou family and other aristocratic families?"

Shi Guipeng smiled slightly: "I have worked with these aristocratic families for many years and understand their nature."

"No matter what you do, you must give priority to your own interests."

"After we have your secret, we need manpower, medicinal materials, and resources. The cost of refining a high-grade elixir will only be lower than yours, and of course the reward will be less."

"So for the sake of profit, these martial arts families will only cooperate with me in the end, and they cannot be hostile to me for your sake."

"The Zhou family is no exception."

"You don't really think that just because of a blood relationship, the Zhou family will stand up for you, do you?"

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's right."

"But I still think you're going to kill me."

"Because if you kill me, you will be completely no longer a threat, and there will be no subsequent trouble."

"And no one knows that you pretended to be Zhou's family and took me away."

"After the incident, others will only doubt the Wang family."

"After all, everyone knows that the Wang family and I have a grudge, so I can help divert your attention."

"Isn't this better than letting me go?"

The expressions of Shi Guipeng and others changed.

They really do.

The old man sitting on the left side of Shi Guipeng said coldly: "Master Zhou, I think there is something you didn't understand."

"You are our prisoner now and have no choice."

"Hand over the secret and you might live."

"If you don't hand over the secret, you will definitely die."

Zhou Xiaoyu sighed: "Yes, I have no choice."

"Logically speaking, I should have thought of you a long time ago."

"pity……"

"By the way, are everyone in the medicine garden here? Is there any fish that slipped through the net?"

The crowd was amazed.

What is this guy talking about?

very messy.

Zhou Xiaoyu waved his hand when he saw this: "Come on, I'll find it myself. The medicine garden is only so big anyway."

After finishing his words, Zhou Xiaoyu took out the transcendent realm experience talisman, activated his true energy, and put it against his body with his backhand.

The next moment, his martial arts aura burst into bloom.

boom!

Everyone instantly felt a monstrous momentum rushing towards them, and the huge sense of majesty was as real as a substance. It shocked their eyes and made their whole bodies freeze. They even felt like they wanted to kneel down in front of everyone.

Shi Guipeng and others' expressions changed greatly, and they all stood up.

They clearly felt that the martial arts aura blooming from Zhou Xiaoyu was not only at the pulse-opening level, but also deep, vast, and unparalleledly powerful.

Compared to this, their breath was as fragile as the grass that had just sprouted on the earth.

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled ferociously, strode forward, and grabbed the nearest old man.

The old man immediately waved his arm to block, but as soon as his arm touched Zhou Xiaoyu's hand, there was a click and a crisp sound of fracture.

He screamed, and his arms immediately dropped limply. Before he could react, Zhou Xiaoyu grabbed him in the chest.

An extremely powerful zhenqi entered the old man's body, instantly suppressing all his struggles.

"save……"

The old man screamed in fright, but he only shouted one word, and Zhou Xiaoyu slapped his Tianling Cap with his palm.

boom!

The old man was shocked and died instantly.

His eyes were wide open, showing a look of extreme fear, and black blood slowly flowed out of his seven orifices.

Zhou Xiaoyu casually threw the old man's body on the ground.

Shi Guipeng and others trembled involuntarily.

This old man has a second-level cultivation of Kai Mai, and he is also a top master in the entire martial arts world.

But in front of Zhou Xiaoyu, he was like a newborn chicken, unable to resist and was slapped to death.
