After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 602 This is a Trap

After seeing Yun Mulin off, Shen Xu chuckled. Yun Mulin alone was equivalent to Lao Qian's century-long network of connections within the Pill Alliance.

However, Yun Mulin's identity is too sensitive, so he'd better not expose his relationship with Yun Mulin.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for either him or Yun Mulin.

"Master, this is the price list of the pills you requested. I have compiled a list according to quality and price. Please take a look."

At this moment, Manager Xiao came to his side and handed him a list of pills.

"So thoughtful?" Shen Xu was somewhat surprised.

"Very detailed, I'm very satisfied. Manager Xiao, you've put a lot of thought into this." Shen Xu praised after receiving the list.

"You're too kind, sir. It's all what we should do," Manager Xiao said with a smile.

After leaving the hall, Shen Xu clenched the paper in his hand. "Yun Mulin, if you don't pay me back, I'll go to your master and see where your imperial family's face will be."

He could have afforded the pills, but Yun Mulin's arrival made him penniless, and most of the pills became expensive.

When he returned to his study, he found a strange man leaning against the wall by the door, seemingly waiting for him.

Moreover, this person is very strong; just standing there gives off an invisible sense of pressure.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Shen Xu asked, frowning.

"I thought you'd be a bit smarter?" the man said coldly.

"Senior Song?" Shen Xu asked uncertainly.

“It seems Lao Qian has already introduced me to you, so I won’t introduce myself. This isn’t the place to talk, let’s go inside.” Song Xi stepped aside.

"Okay!" Shen Xu opened the door.

"Old Qian really likes you; he left you so many things." Song Xi said with a light laugh as she looked at the decorations around her.

"Uncle Qian really helped me a lot."

"Old Qian should have told you my habits, when I can see you, and how to contact me. Do you understand?" Song Xi looked coldly at the unusually young man in front of her.

"I understand basically. I'd like to know if you've gained anything during the days you've been missing?"

"no!"

"So, senior, are you planning to continue the investigation?"

"nature."

"Then I wish you success, senior," Shen Xu said with a smile.

When Song Xi saw Shen Xu's smile, he thought that this popular young man at headquarters would force him to do things, but now it seems that he is quite sensible!

"Let's formally get to know each other today. I hope you can stay in Dancheng for a long time. I have a feeling our cooperation will be very pleasant."

After Song Xi finished speaking, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Shen Xu smiled as he watched Song Xi leave.

He knew that apart from tasks mandated by headquarters, Song Xi wouldn't do anything he assigned, since his strength and Song Xi's were not equal.

Why not make things easier for them both, which just means they'll have to do fewer unimportant tasks?

He has always been very self-aware.

Taking out the medicine catalog that had been stuffed into his pocket again, Shen Xu thought of the Azure Nether Pill that Yun Mulin had mentioned.

It is a kind of pill that can extend the lifespan of cultivators. The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the less lifespan is extended. For mortals, the lifespan is extended by about fifty years.

Like the Longevity Pill, theoretically a person can only take the Azure Nether Pill once, so the quality of the Azure Nether Pill is very important.

If he could obtain a high-quality Azure Nether Pill for Uncle Wang, he wouldn't need to worry about Uncle Wang's lifespan for a very long time.

However, he was very troubled by the five million Yuan-Nourishing Pills that Yun Mulin mentioned. Even if Yun Mulin returned the money to him, he would still have a shortfall of more than three million.

Although there are still six months until the Spring Festival, and he holds an important position in the money-making machine that is Fengyu Tower, it is really wishful thinking to earn three million Nourishing Yuan Pills in six months.

Shaking his head to dismiss these unrealistic ideas, Shen Xu rubbed his dizzy head. What he needed to address most right now was his soul problem.

After carefully examining the prices of the pills, Shen Xu decided to spend all his money to buy the cheapest one and try it out.

wrong!

He runs a pharmacy and has a close relationship with a great alchemist from an imperial clan like Yun Mulin. Wouldn't it be cheaper to prepare the medicinal materials in advance and have Yun Mulin refine pills for him?

You could even try the elixir formula passed down through Yan Zihuai's family.

……

On the second floor of Feng's Pharmacy, Yan Zihuai handed him the written prescription.

That's all!

However, I didn't write down the most important ingredient, so this pill formula looks like poison. This pill is only non-toxic when taken with the ingredient.

This is also a measure taken by the Yan family to protect the pill formula from being leaked; we hope Brother Wu can understand.

"It's alright, Zihuai, I'm already extremely grateful that you're willing to help me," Shen Xu said with a smile.

"Also, due to the lack of medicinal ingredients, the probability of failure in refining is very high, so Brother Wu should find a renowned alchemist to refine it."

"If it's from the Pill Sect, that would be even better, since these spiritual herbs are quite expensive," Yan Zihuai reminded her.

"Approximately how many Nourishing Essence Pills are needed?" Shen Xu's heart tightened.

"Most of these medicinal herbs are in stock at Feng's Pharmacy. At the internal price, they would cost around 500,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, but for Brother Wu, their effects would be well worth the price."

"This……"

Shen Xu sighed softly. Yun Mulin had really messed up his life completely. It was true that without money, it was impossible to do anything.

"Brother Wu, don't you have enough Nourishing Essence Pills?" Yan Zihuai asked with a light laugh.

"I really don't have enough Nourishing Essence Pills," Shen Xu said with some helplessness.

"I can lend it to you, Brother Wu, but there is one condition I hope you can agree to."

"you say!"

"I hope that when it comes to choosing the Mirror Master in the end, Brother Wu will choose me." Yan Zihuai looked at Shen Xu's face with her eyes crinkling.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your pill formula, Zihuai, but I may not be able to enjoy it." Shen Xu put down the pill formula and prepared to leave.

"Brother Wu, do you like Xiaorou that much? She chose to stand by and do nothing when you were going through the most difficult time."

“Fair competition should not be mixed with the ugliness of transactions, and I will treat you all equally,” Shen Xu said.

"What if I told you that it was my father who sent Brother Wu to the prison?" Yan Zihuai's dark pupils looked into his eyes.

Shen Xu smiled. "So you were sent by your father to cause me trouble?"

Yan Zihuai gently shook her head.

Shen Xu said in a deep voice: "I have always believed that an individual cannot represent a family, and a family cannot represent an individual. An individual's will should not be swayed by the collective will."

As long as you do your own thing and don't cause me any trouble, I won't have any prejudice against you because of your father.

"Brother Wu, would you still dare to take this pill after knowing my identity?"

"I remember you weren't very resistant to this pill before, but without the medicinal guide, its toxicity is unbearable even for a Transcendent Realm cultivator," Yan Zihuai said with a smile.

"Hiss... This is a dead end!"

He never expected this girl to be so vicious, setting a trap for him so early on.

After a moment's thought, Shen Xu picked up the prescription. "I will take responsibility for what I said, but you will also have to pay the price for your actions."

"It doesn't matter, I look forward to Brother Wu taking responsibility!" Yan Zihuai's eyes flashed with an eerie light, making Shen Xu feel a little uneasy.
