Chapter 69 The Red Thief
"Wang Yuan!"
Chen Wenjin said solemnly.
"I told you last time and even showed you the elixir he made, but you didn't believe me. Now..."
"Are you sure you're not kidding? The boy who studied with Han Sheng?"
Chen Zhizhou couldn't believe it and his face suddenly became serious.
"Where is he now? Ask him to come over so I can take a look!"
If it's true, then it's a big deal.
Such alchemy genius will at least be a top-level alchemy master in the future, and has a certain chance of becoming a grand alchemy master.
The value of an alchemy master...
No, a top alchemy master is enough to make the Chen family take off!
Help the Chen family improve its overall strength by at least one level.
Even to the point of truly moving out of Suzhou and the Northwest and becoming a continental force.
This is very possible and is by no means a delusion.
"He is in seclusion studying alchemy, and I told you not to disturb him for ten days!"
Chen Wenjin said quickly.
He was afraid that Chen Zhizhou would do something rash and offend Wang Yuan.
That little guy is stubborn, vindictive, and narrow-minded.
"Retreating to study alchemy? Yes, yes, this is an important matter, an important matter, you can't disturb me, you can't disturb me!"
Chen Zhizhou nodded repeatedly.
Only by being precise and pure, and striving for perfection, can we achieve even better results!
If you can refine high-quality pills before the retreat, then after the retreat...
Only this kind of person can become a top alchemy master in the future!
"That boy is only seventeen years old this year, right?"
"Ah."
Chen Wenjin nodded, a hint of pride appearing on her face.
It's as if it was her.
"You have lost all your relatives at home, but you seem to be pretty good?"
Chen Zhizhou asked again.
"Ah."
Chen Wenjin nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"That's it..."
Chen Zhizhou touched his chin and had some ideas.
"~~"
Chen Wenjin suddenly became a little panicked.
"Uncle San, you wouldn't..."
"Haha, Third Uncle has a brilliant plan!"
Chen Zhizhou smiled triumphantly and turned to leave the courtyard.
Such a great man must be kept in the Chen family and must not be allowed to escape.
The best way to bind is through marriage or marrying into the wife's family.
Of course, before that, he had to personally inspect it...
"!!"
Chen Wenjin's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
If there is a marriage alliance, it will definitely not be her, because the Chen family has many daughters of the right age, such as the fifth sister Wenxue, who is only 19 years old this year, or the ninth sister Wenyan, who is just 14 years old...
……
Although Wang Yuan was in seclusion, there was no peace in Yuanwu City.
The most intense event was the influx of 20,000 refugees into the city.
During the three-year drought, the population in other places dropped sharply, or even died out, but the population in main cities like Yuanwu City increased dramatically.
After all, it is full of vitality and is a gathering place.
Despite the control measures in the early stages, the population has nearly doubled over the past two or three years compared to before the disaster, with the total number approaching 800,000.
The pressure faced by the city can be imagined, and all aspects are overloaded.
——This was also one of the main reasons why the refugees were later arranged on the river beach.
Now another 20,000 people have suddenly poured in, making the city, which was already reaching its limit, even more crowded. The conflicts between the latecomers and the indigenous people and refugees have intensified, making the situation even more serious.
Nowadays, there are quarrels, fights, and even deaths and injuries in the West District every day.
The strong suppression by the City Lord's Mansion and the garrison was of little use.
Because there are too many contradictions and conflict points, and the entire West District is too large, there are always places that cannot be seen.
Before you know it, someone has already started doing it. Moreover, there are people who are trying to make trouble, deliberately instigate, disrupt, spread rumors, confuse the public, and so on.
In short, one word - messy, two words - extremely messy, three words - extremely annoying.
City Lord Tuoba and General Yuchi had to ask for help again from the four major families of Song, Chen, Zheng and Li, asking them to send more people to the western district to help maintain stability and give them special tokens.
The stability of Yuanwu City was in the interests of the four major families, so they sent people there without hesitation.
However, at this moment, the headquarters of the Dahe Gang was suddenly robbed.
Gold, silver, Yuanling stones, and treasures all disappeared.
The next night, the headquarters of the Jinta Society was also visited.
Fortunately, Vice President Guo Shan was at the headquarters at the time. After hearing the noise, he immediately chased out and finally saw only a glimpse of red clothes.
This matter could not be concealed, so Guo Shan quickly went to the Chen family to report it. Then the next day, the Chen family issued a notice and also offered a reward:
Anyone who has information about the Red Thief will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, and anyone with accurate information will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!
Not long after, someone from the Dahe Gang leaked the news that the Dahe Gang had also been robbed.
Afterwards, the Song family followed suit and issued a bounty. The conditions were similar to those of the Chen family, except that it was changed to ten Yuanling stones and an additional one thousand kilograms of beast meat!
For most ordinary people, a thousand kilograms of meat is far more shocking and tempting than one thousand taels of gold.
Warriors all value it and want it!
So the entire Yuanwu City started to move.
The residents who were originally listless came alive, with gang disciples walking the streets and alleys, and martial artists with cultivation jumping up and down, flying over eaves and walls...
It was as if there were two light bulbs installed under everyone's eyelids, making their eyes wider than bull's eyes.
They are all looking for a red thief.
"A bunch of idiots. Red clothes? I can't change colors, right?"
At night, on a rooftop, a girl in red said disdainfully, and then her brows suddenly frowned.
Because of these two wanted posters with bounties on their heads, her room for maneuver has indeed become much smaller.
Previously they could move around freely, but now there are warriors patrolling and searching everywhere.
With her strength, she is naturally fearless, but as the seventeenth princess of Tushan Kingdom, she should leave openly and honestly. Why would she be so sneaky and indecent?
"Shh-"
Tushan Beitang changed into white clothes, looked around, and finally landed on the quieter wealthy area.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Although there are many experts there, they all value their reputation and will definitely not let anyone search them at will...
"Just go over there!"
Tushan Beitang immediately crouched and quietly moved over there...
Three minutes later.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Suddenly, masters appeared one after another and surrounded Tushan Beitang from all sides.
The ground, the roof, the corner tower...
Some held swords and guns, some held bows and arrows, and some held chains.
Each of them has a long breath and condensed qi meridians. They are at least eighth-grade warriors.
"&%¥#@"
Tu Shan Bei Tang's mind was confused for a moment, and he suddenly realized:
She was fooled!
……
Blood transfusion not only requires Shengshengdan, but also requires a large amount of food energy supplement.
Fortunately, this is all normal, and Wang Yuan has already asked Chen Wenjin to replenish his supplies, so his current task, apart from the Vajra Marrow Cleansing, is to eat non-stop.
As I ate more meat, I gradually got used to it.
Perhaps because it is not a spiritual power pill, the Shengsheng Pill cannot increase the surplus points.
Wang Yuan was not disappointed about this.
Because each has its own function.
The value of Shengsheng Pill is to stimulate life and activate bone marrow. If we calculate based on the ingredients and process of refining, the energy contained in it may not be as good as half a pound of beef...
However, its value is incomparable to that of ten thousand kilograms of beef.
Yuan Lingshi Wang Yuan did not absorb it casually. It was not the right time yet.
Overdrawing your potential too early may not be a good thing.
and so……
“It’s almost done!”
Wang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
