'Medicine Person' Trap, Qi and Blood Pill Formula! Killing Intent!

Flying Eagle Martial Arts School.

The once-gilded signboard was gone, the great stone lions had been smashed to pieces, and the entire martial arts school lay in ruins. Smoke stains were everywhere, and people occasionally entered to look around.

Qin Wang followed them inside to have a look as well.

He deliberately passed through the room where Du Xiang had lived. The house had been flattened, and there was no trace whatsoever of a secret passage.

I've toured Flying Eagle Martial Arts School. Next, I'll visit Tongrentang Pharmacy, then take a look around the Four Great Families.

Having made up his mind, Qin Wang left Flying Eagle Martial Arts School.

Tongrentang Pharmacy.

East City Main Hall.

That afternoon, patients and martial artists coming to buy medicine streamed through the pharmacy without end. The Pharmacists inside were extremely busy. At the entrance, Qin Wang saw a notice.

Three bright and clever medicine apprentices wanted.

"Little brother, if you're applying to be a medicine apprentice, come with me."

Hearing that Qin Wang wished to apply, a warm-looking young Pharmacist of around twenty-four or twenty-five enthusiastically led him toward the rear hall.

They went through the back door of the pharmacy, crossed a thirty-meter wooden covered walkway, and arrived at a square courtyard roughly three hundred meters across. More than fifty youths around seventeen or eighteen years old were inside, sorting medicinal ingredients.

Waves of medicinal fragrance wafted toward them.

"Master, this little brother has come to apply as a medicine apprentice."

The warm-looking Pharmacist led Qin Wang before an elder in blue robes, around fifty years old, reclining in a lounge chair. He respectfully cupped his fists, then said to Qin Wang, "Qin Wang, this is Tongrentang Pharmacy's chief, Alchemist Li Hongfei!"

"Qin Wang pays his respects to Alchemist Li!"

Qin Wang promptly bowed respectfully to Li Hongfei.

"Mm."

"To serve as this old man's medicine apprentice, one must have a calm disposition. I do not accept the impatient. Read this book first, then we'll talk!"

Li Hongfei looked Qin Wang over, asked about his age, address, and other details, then nodded. After speaking, he pointed at a book on the tea table, signaling for Qin Wang to read it.

"Yes, thank you, Alchemist Li!"

Qin Wang respectfully took the medicinal text from the tea table and began reading it off to the side.

It was a book introducing medicinal ingredients.

Qin Wang had already read it at Doctor Bai's place. He was merely reviewing it once more.

Time passed.

At half past five in the afternoon.

Qin Wang finished the book in his hands, only to find that Li Hongfei was gone. He went to the front hall and found the warm-looking Pharmacist, Ding Dian. He learned that Alchemist Li Hongfei had gone to refine pills and had told him to come early tomorrow to familiarize himself with medicinal ingredients.

"Thank you, Brother Ding!"

Qin Wang cupped his fists to Ding Dian and left the pharmacy.

Ding Dian watched Qin Wang leave, then turned and went to a side room in the rear hall. He respectfully cupped his fists toward Li Hongfei, who was seated cross-legged in cultivation. "Master, this Qin Wang lives alone in the county town. He meets the conditions for becoming a 'Medicine Person'!"

"No, this Qin Wang meets President Li's requirements."

"Find another Medicine Person."

Li Hongfei waved his hand and said.

"Yes. He has gone back. To prevent him from failing to come tomorrow, this disciple deliberately sprinkled tracking powder on him. Even if he does not come, this disciple can still find him and drag him back."

Ding Dian respectfully cupped his fists.

"Mm. What I admire most about you is that cleverness of yours. Work hard, and when I have time, I'll refine Qi and Blood Pills for you! I'll let you observe from the side!"

"Go take care of your business!"

Li Hongfei patted Ding Dian's shoulder, his face showing approval.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ding Dian was overjoyed. He respectfully cupped his fists, retreated several steps, then turned and left.

Qin Wang left Tongrentang Pharmacy.

He bought some food on the street, then ate as he passed the residences of the Chen Family and the Su Family. He also stopped by Tongrentang Pharmacy's other two branch halls and bought six Qi and Blood Pills in two separate purchases.

As for the Black River Gang, the Lin Family, and the Zhang Family, he could only observe them from afar for a while. By the time he finished all this, it was nearly eight o'clock.

Later than that, there would be few pedestrians on the streets. Walking at night then would be far too conspicuous.

It would be bad if he were suspected of being the exposer.

Qin Wang returned home and opened his bundle. Bai Fenghuan had sent him a roast chicken, two pork knuckles, a packet of peanuts, and some rice candy.

Qin Wang went to the kitchen, reheated the roast chicken and pork knuckles, and began eating.

After eating and drinking his fill, he practiced the Minor Scarlet Sun Cultivation, Flying Eagle Movement Technique, and Ancestor's Long Fist in rotation. When he finished, he went to inspect the place in the back room where Du Xiang had been buried.

Midnight.

"That old dog Li Hongfei!"

"He recruits medicine apprentices to make Medicine People?"

"He plans to prepare me into an obedient virgin boy and give me to Li Tianhe for the River God Sacrifice?"

"His disciple Ding Dian sprinkled tracking powder on me?"

Looking at the first and second pieces of intelligence, Qin Wang's face darkened at once, fury surging within him.

Damn it, life at the bottom was simply too hard.

Pits everywhere, schemes everywhere!

Strength!

He still needed strength!

If he did not have the Intelligence Panel, wouldn't Li Hongfei and Ding Dian have plotted against him without a hitch? In the end, he would not have escaped the same fate as his sister—becoming a virgin boy for the River God Sacrifice?

"I must expose Tongrentang Pharmacy! I must expose Li Hongfei for refining Medicine People—576 of them!"

"And that Ding Dian must die too!"

A fierce glint flashed through Qin Wang's eyes.

He had wanted to learn pill refinement at Tongrentang Pharmacy, starting as a medicine apprentice. Who could have imagined there would be another pit waiting for him?

Qin Wang had no time to inspect the remaining intelligence. He immediately stood and examined himself, swiftly stripped off the clothes he was wearing, and threw them into the stove. At the same time, he heated water and washed his hair and body.

He even cut up the bedsheet he had sat on after returning home, threw it into the stove, and burned it to ashes.

"I'll have to wait a few days before exposing Li Hongfei!"

After thinking for a while, Qin Wang silently said to himself.

These past few days, the Chen Family, the Black River Gang, and the Arrest Bureau had all been investigating him, the exposer. If he surfaced now, then with his current third-rate strength, he would certainly die miserably.

Therefore.

He needed to wait until the heat died down somewhat before exposing Li Hongfei of Tongrentang Pharmacy for refining Medicine People!

"No, I need to move again!"

After some thought, Qin Wang still felt that burning his clothes and washing himself was not safe enough. What if, after he had returned, some tracking powder had fallen onto the floor?
