Chapter 254 Mysterious Entrustor

“Then what do you think we should do next?”

Cen Yumou asked again.

“If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move.”

Liang Tingang said, “Although the Swallow Heron Sect has been rebuilt, its strength is extremely weak, and it is no threat to us. Plus, right now, we have important things to do, so we can’t be distracted.”

“But about the Harmony King Mansion…”

Cen Yumou seemed to have some concerns.

“The Harmony King Mansion will definitely not attack us directly.”

Liang Tingang was certain. “If the Harmony Prince wanted to take action, he wouldn’t have supported the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect. This is unnecessary. Moreover, if the Harmony Prince takes action, Princess Mo Lan will definitely not stand by and watch. If that happens, she will definitely protect us.”

“Moreover, in a few months, we will capture the Night Beast and make a contribution, then we will move to State Luzhi. At that time, the Harmony Prince would be able to do anything to us.”

“Good point.”

Cen Yumou said, “In this case, let’s not pay too much attention to this matter. The most important thing now is to find more Master Tamers.”

“Okay.”

Liang Tingang nodded.

Guanghe Canton. Shi Family Trading Company. Shi Chenghao was on duty at his company today.

Shi Chenghao was in a good mood. In the family meeting yesterday, he was praised by the family head and his status in the family had also risen.

According to the current trend, he would definitely become a clan elder after a few more years.

“Master, a guest is here.”

A manager of the trading company came to see Shi Chenghao. “Just receive the guest, why are you looking for

me?’

Shi Chenghao was a little annoyed. Seeing that Shi Chenghao seemed a little impatient, the manager quickly said, “The guest said that he wanted to see Master. I said that Master is busy, and in response he directly showed his strength. His realm seems to be at the sixth stage of the dao realm, and his strength is even stronger than Canton Governor Wei.”

“Dao realm sixth stage?”

When Shi Chenghao heard this, his expression turned serious. “Please bring him in.”

A dao realm sixth stage core transformation realm master. With this kind of strength, if he wanted to, he could completely dominate a region.

“Understood.”

He quickly walked out the door.

Soon, a man in a black shirt with short sleeves was invited in.

The black-clothed man had an ordinary appearance. His clothes were half open, and his exposed skin was covered with dense demon beast tattoos.

“You are the Head of the Shi Trading Company?”

The man in black glanced at Shi Chenghao.

“Yes, I am Shi Chenghao.”

Shi Chenghao felt uncomfortable being stared at by the man in black.

Although this person looked normal, there was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was a fierce beast locking onto its prey. “Senior, how should I address you?”

Shi Chenghao asked cautiously. “People call me Lie Ying.” The man in black was expressionless.

“Lie Ying…”

Shi Chenghao thought hard and realized that he had never heard of this name before.

He didn’t know if he was too inexperienced, or if this person was deliberately hiding his identity.

But on the surface, Shi Chenghao was still very polite.

“I wonder why Senior Lie Ying came to the Shi Trading Company?”

Shi Chenghao asked.

“Your trading company must have its own alchemy hall, right?” Lie Ying asked. “We do.”

Shi Chenghao nodded.

The so-called alchemy hall was a branch set up by the trading company to refine medicinal pills.

In the transactions of martial arts resources, medicinal pills took up the majority, so regardless of size, all trading companies basically had their own alchemy hall.

“In that case, help me refine a batch of medicinal pills.”

Lie Ying took out a folded list and handed it to Shi Chenghao.

Shi Chenghao took it, opened it, and read it.

“How is it? Can you refine it?”

Lie Ying asked.

“Senior Lie Ying, your batch of pills is quite unpopular…”

Shi Chenghao frowned slightly. “The alchemy hall under us is not too confident…”

When Lie Ying heard this, he shook his head gently, took the list from Shi Chenghao’s hand, and turned around to leave.

“Senior Lie Ying, wait.”

Shi Chenghao suddenly stopped Lie Ying. “Although the alchemy hall of the trading company is not confident in refining them all, I can contact another master alchemist for you.”

The other master alchemist Shi Chenghao was talking about was naturally Xu Ning.

When he left the Swallow Heron Sect previously, Xu Ning had told him that if he had any highly profitable pills to refine, he could come to him.

“Oh?”

Lie Ying stood still. “Sure, it does not matter who refines it, as long as I can get the pills.”

“However, Senior Lie Ying, these unpopular medicinal pills are extremely troublesome to refine, and they also require a lot of materials. Thus, the cost of refining medicinal pills is not low…”

Shi Chenghao was raising the price for Xu Ning.

“I will provide the consumables and the price can be discussed.”

Lie Ying looked very generous. “How long will it take to get the pills?” “One month.”

Shi Chenghao estimated and responded.

In his opinion, with Xu Ning’s alchemy skills, these medicinal pills could be refined in less than ten days. A month was definitely enough time for Xu Ning.

“Too long, twenty days.”

Lie Ying said.

Shi Chenghao pretended to be deep in thought and showed a conflicted expression. “Okay.”

After a long time, he responded.

After hearing this, Lie Ying took out two storage rings and threw them to Shi Chenghao.

“One of these two storage rings contains the materials needed for the pills, while the other contains half of the pill refinement fee.”

The stronger one was, the more precious the resources consumed.

Generally speaking, items were exchanged for other items of equal value.

Shi Chenghao took it and checked it with his dao realm power. These two storage rings already had their marks erased.

“That’s enough.”

Shi Chenghao looked at it and was surprised by how generous Lie Ying was.

This would definitely satisfy Xu Ning.

“Where does Senior live? After the pills are refined, I will personally deliver them.”

Shi Chenghao said.

“I will come and collect it in twenty days.”

After saying that, Lie Ying left without remaining for a moment more.

He did not take any receipt, nor was he afraid that Shi Chenghao would take the resources for himself.

“Strange person…”

Shi Chenghao muttered. He then left for the Swallow Heron Sect.

This was another opportunity to get close to Xu Ning.

At night.

Swallow Heron Sect

Inside a shabby pill room. Xu Ning placed the pill furnace in front of him. In his hand was the list that Lie Ying had given to Shi Chenghao.

Shi Chenghao came to the Swallow Heron Sect in the afternoon and handed this commission to Xu Ning

Seeing the abundant resources as payment, Xu Ning accepted the commission.

‘According to Shi Chenghao, the client named Lie Ying is in the dao realm sixth stage core transformation realm… Logically speaking, this kind of person will definitely know a larger faction and can easily find powerful alchemists to help refine medicinal pills. But why did he specially find the Shi Trading Company…’

Xu Ning was a little confused.

Although the Shi Trading Company was influential in Guanghe Canton, it was nothing compared to a dao realm sixth stage master.

“This Lie Ying either has a sensitive identity and can’t be exposed in front of big forces, or he doesn’t want some big forces to know about him refining these pills…’

Xu Ning guessed.

If this was in the past, Xu Ning would most likely refuse a request from an unknown person.

Because these people might have some problems clinging to them.

But now, Xu Ning no longer cared about this problem.

‘Forget about this…’

Xu Ning thought, ‘After refining these pills and receiving the other half of the payment, the energy resources I need to advance to the core materialization realm will be enough…’ Recently, people kept sending gifts to the sect, most of which were accepted by Xu Ning. The remaining small portion was used for the sect’s expenses.

“The pills that are to be refined are all for demon beasts…’

Xu Ning noticed this problem when he first read the list.

‘Some of them are helpful to demon beasts, while some can be used to deal with demon beasts.’

If it weren’t for the dao realm alchemy encyclopedia left behind by the Red Sea Demon Lord, Xu Ning really wouldn’t know how to refine these.

‘Maybe this person named Lie Ying is a Master Tamer…’

In State Wansheng, the strength of Master Tamers could not be underestimated. A Master Tamer was a powerful team with high combat power.

After making some preparations, Xu Ning began to refine the pills.

Twenty days went by. On the appointed day, Lie Ying arrived at the Shi Trading Company alone.

The manager recognized him and led him to Shi Chenghao. “Senior Lie Ying.”

Shi Chenghao stood up and greeted. “Where is it?”

Lie Ying was expressionless. He had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, so he went straight to the point.

“They are already prepared.”

Shi Chenghao took out a storage ring and handed it to Lie Ying.

In fact, Xu Ning had refined all of the pills in five days without taking a break and gave them to Shi Chenghao right after.

Lie Ying took them and checked them directly.

He randomly took out a few pills.

“Hmm?”

After Lie Ying looked at the pills, his calm face actually showed a look of surprise.

‘Is he shocked by the quality of the pills?’

Shi Chenghao saw the change and thought to himself.

After interacting with Xu Ning, Shi Chenghao felt that Xu Ning’s alchemy skills might not be worse than Master Alchemist Leng Ran’s.

Lie Ying straightaway pried apart one of the pills and checked its textures. He then completely crushed it, rubbed it a few times, and sniffed it.

‘If I’m not wrong, this should be the refinement technique of the Red Sea Pill Sutra…’

Lie Ying’s pupils shrank. ‘This small trading company can actually be in touch with the core of the Red Sea Demon Sect?’

He pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something.

“Who is the master alchemist that refined this pill?”

Lie Ying asked.

Shi Chenghao replied, “According to the request of the master alchemist, his identity cannot be revealed.”

Xu Ning had never asked Shi Chenghao to do this, but Shi Chenghao noticed that something was wrong with Lie Ying. Thus, in order not to trouble Xu Ning, he made an excuse.

“I see…”

After hearing this, Lie Ying did not suspect anything

‘It’s understandable that the person from the Red Sea Demon Sect is hiding his identity…’

Afterwards, Lie Ying took out another spatial storage ring. “The rest of the payment is here.”

With that, he left.
