C4390 The Source of the Black Stone
C4390 The Source of the Black Stone
This was not the first time he had done this. Submitting the Evil Pill was a mandatory procedure every month. Steward Liu had been watching him closely.
However, this time was different, because the Evil Qi Stone was used up.
"Steward Liu, these are the pills refined this month."
Wang Kun handed over the dozen bottles of pills.
Steward Liu glanced at them and laughed, "Good, you did well. Keep working hard and get paid a total of two hundred immortal jades. Take it."
When he got two hundred immortal jades, Wang Kun's eyes immediately lit up, revealing a look of greed.
If Chen Xiao hadn't exposed the Evil Qi Stone, he would have been completely unaware and fallen into a trap step by step.
After all, it was not wrong to be greedy.
"Thank you, Steward Liu. I will do my best."
"Yes, very good."
"Right, Steward Liu, I have used up all the medicinal herbs in my pill refining room, especially the black stone like medicinal herbs. They are all gone. You see..."
"The black stone is gone?" The smile on Steward Liu's face deepened, but it was strange.
"Yes, they are all gone." Wang Kun said truthfully.
"Oh, this is good. It's fine. I still have a lot here. Take it."
As Steward Liu spoke, he took out a large box and immediately filled it with all kinds of medicinal herbs. They were mixed together, including the black stone, which was contaminated with evil Qi. It was placed in front of Wang Kun.
When Chen Xiao saw this scene with his Spiritual Sense Imprint, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"As expected, there are still a lot of black stones. It seems like there is no end to them. There must be a source, but where is the source? Is it on Steward Liu?"
He began to think, but he did not make a move.
The more he thought about it, the calmer he became. He was not in a hurry.
When Wang Kun saw this, he revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, "What a big box? Steward Liu, our Divine Sect has refined so many pills. Could it be that something big is going to happen?"
Steward Liu's face turned cold, "You should not ask. Don't ask too much. Knowing too much is not a good thing. Remember this, Wang Kun, you just need to refine pills well. The Divine Sect will not treat you unfairly. Don't you think that these immortal jades are enough?"
After being scolded, Wang Kun immediately withdrew.
"Yes, yes, yes. Steward Liu, you are right. I shouldn't have said too much."
"It's good that you know. Alright, bring the box back and refine the pills."
"Yes."
Wang Kun turned around and left, returning to his pill refining room.
Steward Liu stared at Wang Kun's back and began to think, "Could it be that this brat has discovered something? Heh, it can't be. I should have been overthinking."
"All of you, be careful. Keep an eye on it. Don't let any wind blow through the grass."
Steward Liu's face was gloomy as he lectured the guards.
"Yes."
"Understood, Sir Manager."
Manager Liu nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "This is an important matter that concerns the survival of our Divine Sect. We must not make the slightest mistake or be careless. We must be fully focused and guard it with all our might. We must not leak anything out."
"Yes."
The guards responded in unison. Their morale was high, as if they had been possessed.
Chen Xiao saw this scene through his Spiritual Sense Imprint and could not help but sneer in his heart, "Sure enough, it's an evil sect. Their slogan is loud, but they don't do anything. This black rock is too evil. We must kill it. Where is the source of the evil?"
After that, Manager Liu did not make any more movements. Everything was as usual.
After Chen Xiao watched for a while, he was disappointed, "It seems that time is not enough. Or is it that the black rock on Manager Liu's body has not been used up?"
Previously, it was only the black rock in Wang Kun's pill refining room that had been used up. He only needed to find Manager Liu to get a new one.
Then where did the evil black rock on Manager Liu's body come from?
At the same time, in the pill refining room, Wang Kun carefully placed the big box away. He looked uneasy and called out, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you there?"
"I am almost scared to death. I feel like I can be killed at any time. When will this be the end of this?"
"Brother Chen, where are you? Don't scare me."
Wang Kun kept on shouting, and it reached Chen Xiao's ears. It was like countless mosquitoes were flying around. He was annoyed.
"Shut up."
Wang Kun was not angry, but happy, "Brother Chen, you're here. I knew you wouldn't let me down."
Chen Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "Continue refining pills. After using up this batch of blackstones, go and ask Steward Liu for more."
"Ah ~ I still need to continue refining pills. I'm about to die of exhaustion, and I still have to follow your instructions and leave a bottle of pills. What use is that?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Just do it." Chen Xiao said indifferently, not saying much.
Wang Kun was a little discouraged, but he was unwilling to give up, and he asked, "Brother Chen, when are you willing to make a move?"
"Do it?"
"That's right, save me. I can't just stay in this damn place for the rest of my life, right? I can't even go out. This time, I fell for a trap. I shouldn't have come here for the two hundred immortal jades, and I even put myself in a dangerous situation. Brother Chen, I can only count on you now. Only you can save me."
Wang Kun sighed, looking very pessimistic.
Chen Xiao snorted and said, "What I said will be true. After finding the source of the blackstone, it will be your time to leave."
In order to calm Wang Kun down, he had made some promises, so he would not go back on his words.
Hearing that, Wang Kun heaved a sigh of relief. He chuckled, "Alright, Brother Chen, I believe you. Alright, I'll continue refining pills. I can still earn some immortal jades while doing so."
"..." Chen Xiao was silent.
This time, it couldn't really be a reincarnation of a money-grubber, right? At this critical moment, he was still thinking about that little bit of immortal jade. Heh, but this was also good. He didn't want to waste any more time talking.
And so, another three months passed.
The black stone in Wang Kun's hand was used up again. He found Steward Liu again and said, "Steward Liu, I've used up all my black medicinal herbs."
"Used up again? So fast?" Steward Liu frowned and asked.
Wang Kun chuckled and took out a pile of medicinal bottles that he had refined. He said, "That's right. Sir Steward, please take a look. In order to earn immortal jade, I have worked very hard. I worked hard day and night to refine pills and dedicate myself to the Divine Sect."
Hearing this, Steward Liu smiled strangely and did not say anything more.
He took out two hundred immortal jades and threw them to Wang Kun. He checked the stock in his storage ring and his expression changed slightly.
"I've used up all the black stones?"
"This..." Wang Kun was shocked, and his eyes lit up.
Brother Chen was right.
Seeing this, he hurriedly asked, "Sir Steward, is there a problem?"
Steward Liu's face was dark as he glanced at Wang Kun. This person gave him a strange feeling. He looked honest, but in reality, he was cunning.
However, this person was just an early-stage Prominent Divine Realm cultivator. What could he do? He was overthinking it.
