No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 91 Is This Me
A weasel seeking a title is just a small scenery on the journey.

Xu Shun has been very cautious these days. He already knows the influence Huang Dan will have in this area.

If we kill someone from Huang Danhui, Huang Danhui will definitely not let it go.

As a result, he was very careful for seven or eight days, but he didn't see anyone from the Huang Dan Society, which made him very confused.

Could it be that Huang Danhui is a kind and innocent organization that treats people with kindness?

impossible!

One day, Xu Shun came to the outskirts of a small town and saw a Taoist priest from the Huangdan Society wearing purple-gray Taoist robes, sitting outside the town and looking at passers-by.

He looked very young, probably in his twenties, but his cultivation level made Xu Shun feel slightly pressured.

The ninth level of spiritual enlightenment, or the dragon-tiger stage?

Xu Shun stared at the man cautiously, preparing for a fierce battle, and then he saw that man saw Xu Shun, then looked at the scroll next to him and said, "Don't be nervous, fellow Taoist, the Huangdan Society is looking for someone! Fellow Taoist is not that person, please do as you please."

"?"

Xu Shun was confused. Could it be that the people from Huang Danhui were here to cause trouble for him?

"I wonder who you are looking for?" Xu Shun asked, keeping a certain distance from the man.

The Taoist saw that Xu Shun was quite polite and had a good cultivation level, so he said, "I am Qian Kai from the Huangdan Society! I am grateful to the leader for looking up to me and letting me be in charge of this area."

"Half a month ago, someone not only pretended to be from the Huangdan Society to sell fake pills, but also killed one of our fellow Taoists. It was really abominable!"

Xu Shun asked calmly: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

Qian Kai took the scroll beside him, pointed at the person in the scroll, and said, "That person is wearing a purple-gray Taoist robe, which is similar to the clothing of our Huangdan Society."

Xu Shun looked at his clothes, still the purple-gray Taoist robe.

"That man has a yellow gourd on his waist, which is similar to our Huang Danhui!" Qian Kai said again.

Xu Shun looked at the yellow gourd around his waist and found that it was indeed similar.

"That man has a sword on his back, but we in Huangdan don't have that." Qian Kai continued.

Xu Shun touched the sword on his back and said, "Is this person you are talking about me?"

"No, it's not you, fellow Taoist!" Qian Kai turned the portrait around so that Xu Shun could see it.

I don’t know who painted this, but the person in the painting is a fat man.

The fat man had a face full of flesh and a fierce look, with a big belly and a round waist. He was wearing a purple-gray Taoist robe, a gourd belt, and was holding a long sword and dancing with sword flowers.

Xu Shun looked confused.

Who is this?
"Looking at your expression, I know you have never seen this person before!" Qian Kai looked at Xu Shun's confused expression and said, "This is the murderer who committed the crime that day. He is now an enemy of our Huangdan Society!"

"I...you...ah..." Xu Shun didn't know what to say.

What happened?

Wasn't it me who killed him?

"Is there a possibility that you might have made a mistake?" Xu Shun said after thinking for a while.

"Impossible!" Qian Kai waved his hands and said, "Absolutely impossible! This was drawn by a painter in the guild based on the description of the witnesses."

eyewitness?
Are they the fat man and his two henchmen from that day?

Draw it according to his description?
Isn’t this precision too abstract?
Is this how I look in his eyes?

What could Xu Shun say? He could only say, "I see. I wonder why you are only looking for this person now, half a month after this incident?"

"Isn't it a little late?"

Qian Kai chatted with Xu Shun for a while and felt that Xu Shun was quite pleasing to the eye. He said, "The leader of the association came to our place a few days ago. Who can take care of this matter?"

For the flatterer, tracking down the murderer becomes secondary. The benefits of the two are completely different.

Xu Shun approached Qian Kai, and the two were about as close as a person. Xu Shun said, "I wonder which leader is coming this time? I heard that your association has two leaders?"

"Of course it's the Master of the Ma Club!" Qian Kai said, "Although our Huangdan Club has two masters, the Master of the Wen Club is mostly responsible for refining elixirs at the headquarters. I once had the honor of meeting the Master of the Wen Club, and receiving his guidance in refining elixirs opened my eyes."

"And the club owner is responsible for all matters of the club."

Xu Shun asked again: "Who has higher authority, the Jockey Club leader or the Literature Club leader?"

"Of course it's the owner of the Jockey Club!" Qian Kai said.

"I wonder what level of cultivation the Jockey Club Master has? I'm sure he has reached a very high level, and must be a real person!" Xu Shun pretended to flatter.

A true person is a cultivator who is at the Yuanshen realm or above.

Qian Kai sighed and said, "A true cultivator enjoys a thousand years of life. How enviable! It is said that the master of the horse club has reached the level of a golden elixir."

"Even so, he still has to live for 500 years. That's really enviable!"

"The path of cultivation is so difficult. So..." Qian Kai suddenly changed the subject and said, "Daoyou, do you want a pill?"

He had just talked so much with Xu Shun just for this question.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well make some alchemy friends.

"What kind of elixir?" Xu Shun asked, "Immortal elixir?"

"Although the magic pill can improve thinking and make people have great wisdom, the magic pill is for ordinary people to take!"

"But how can cultivators like us eat that kind of pill?" Qian Kai said.

"Then eat..." Xu Shun asked.

"Yellow Bud Pill!" Qian Kai took out a yellow pill bottle from his arms and poured out a pill that was yellow in color, like a yellow pearl.

"After eating it, I became more inspired and my mind became sharper. I could now understand some of the problems that I couldn't understand before!"

"After eating it, you will be free from worries and feel light-headed, like a god. Some troubles will disappear."

"After eating it, I am united with God, and God is united with my mind, so my practice will be smoother!"

Qian Kai said in a bewitching tone: "I feel like I've known Daoist friends for a long time, so I'll give this Huangya Pill to you!"

As he spoke, he handed over a bright orange pill.

Xu Shun didn't answer.

Huangya is a term in external alchemy, which refers to the sign of the beginning of "vitality" produced by the elixir in the cauldron. It symbolizes the changes in medicinal properties and the germination of vitality during the alchemy process.

Naming the elixir after the yellow bud naturally implies helping the monks and initiating their cultivation.

It’s just that... the pill in Qian Kai’s hand isn’t very genuine.

What inspiration is constant, worry-free...

"I wonder how much this pill costs? I'll just buy it." Xu Shun said as he looked at the pill.

He wanted to buy it and study it to see what Huang Dan was up to.

It can't be that he really is cultivating immortality by taking drugs, right?
"Although the elixir is expensive, how can it compare to the fate with fellow Taoists?" Qian Kai said: "When I say I will give it to you, I really mean it."

“After eating one, will you want to eat again?”

"After taking one, will you still need to buy more from the Huangdan Society? In the end, you will have to rely on the Huangdan Society's pills, or even sell yourself to the Huangdan Society?" Xu Shun stared at Qian Kai and said.

　Qian Kai is still the pseudonym of the book friend of the previous book.
