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

Chapter 586 Continuous Targeting

"Nephew, have you made up your mind? My time is very precious." Qi Jing couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"May I ask Master Qi a question? The Pill Alliance Competition is held every fifty years, and the Pill Tasting Conference is held every ten years."

Given that the two events are held a year apart, there should be a recurring pattern regardless of which one is held first or last. How has the Dan Alliance handled this situation in the past?

Upon hearing this, Qi Jing's gaze turned cold. "What's past is past. Do you want this news or not?"

“Master Qi, there’s no need to be angry. Of course I need your information. Considering that you are Uncle Qian’s friend, I can offer you a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills. I wonder if Master Qi is satisfied with this price?”

"A thousand! Are you trying to fetch a beggar?!"

"It seems that Boss Qian's hard-earned Feng's Pharmacy is about to be ruined by you, a mere brat." Qi Jing sneered.

"A thousand it is. I won't argue with you this time. Anyway, this is our last deal. Let's write the contract!"

"Then please wait a moment, Master Qi, I will draft a contract right away." Shen Xu smiled.

After a while, Shen Xu handed the contract to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing smiled upon seeing the text above, and then signed his name with Yuanmo ink.

After Qi Jing left, Shen Xu couldn't help but shake his head.

From the moment Qi Jing entered, he sensed Qi Jing's malice. The leaf blade, after being enhanced by the goddess, was clearly stronger.

But the people behind Qi Jing are using an open scheme against him; whether he accepts Qi Jing's intelligence or not, he will ultimately be the one who suffers.

Buying Qi Jing's information at a high price would make the organization think very little of him and even make him look like a fool.

Refusing to buy or purchasing Qi Jing's information at a low price can be interpreted as him being arrogant and deliberately humiliating Lao Qian's collaborators.

It's estimated that he won't be able to use any of the intelligence network that Lao Qian left him.

Buying the information with a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills is a compromise between the two options, and it can be used to eliminate those in the intelligence network who already distrust him.

It's certain that Qi Jing will use that contract to slander and defame him, but he doesn't know how many people will choose to believe him.

Shen Xu frowned as he glanced at the empty drawer again.

At this moment, Shen Xu suddenly saw the red crystal on the table begin to flash, and his face instantly darkened.

No sooner had Old Qian left than some people were eager to trip him up.

They're even going so far as to target the Feng family's medicine business; it's outrageous!

Moreover, the timing was perfect. With An Ge out of town and Chi Xiaorou unreachable, they were really taking him for a fool.

……

When Shen Xu arrived at the shop on the first floor, he found the center of the hall crowded with people, and noisy arguments were coming from there.

"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"

"Where's your boss? Tell him to come out here! I want to see how he explains this to me!"

A middle-aged man with a fierce face and imposing manner pointed at Manager Wei, who was trying to dissuade him, and angrily cursed him.

"I am the owner of Feng's Pharmacy. What happened?"

Shen Xu pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the middle-aged man, blocking Manager Wei's path.

"This is the new owner of Feng's Pharmacy, and he looks so young!"

“Being young is not a good thing when doing business in Danding City.”

"I don't know why Boss Qian would entrust Feng's Pharmacy to such a young upstart. Isn't he afraid that he'll ruin it?"

"That's how it is in Dan Ding City. If you want to do business, you need a powerful backer. After Boss Qian left, who can Feng's Pharmacy rely on? Boss Qian's friends won't acknowledge him as their nephew."

"That depends on how he handles today's situation. This person is clearly a testing knife."

If he can't handle today's situation, such incidents will only increase in the future, and Feng's Pharmacy will be unable to continue operating.

Many people in Dan Ding City are eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Manager Wei spoke up to explain: "Master, he insists that he bought counterfeit medicine here and outside, and demands that we compensate him tenfold."

We asked him to show us the purchase receipt and the corresponding medicinal herbs, but he couldn't produce anything. The other workers had never seen him before either. I suspect he's just here to cause trouble.

"Why do you say I'm causing trouble! I threw away the receipt, and I've already eaten the medicine."

Let everyone be the judge. I spent 10,000 Yuan-Nourishing Pills to buy ten Shoumei red dates from them to replenish my Qi and blood, but instead of replenishing my Qi and blood, it caused my vital energy to become disordered and my cultivation level to drop drastically. Do you think there's a problem with their medicinal materials?

Young man, since you say you're the owner here, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll compensate you ten times the market price, a total of 100,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills.

As long as you give it to me, I'll leave immediately and won't delay your business.

"If you're unwilling to pay compensation, then I'll have to have a serious talk with you." The middle-aged man reached out to slap his face.

"what--!"

The middle-aged man suddenly grasped the hand that was dripping blood. His hand had been pierced with a large hole, the edges of which were smooth and charred.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. "When?!"

None of them saw when or how Shen Xu made his move.

"You brat, you're asking for it!" Pain and hatred made the man's eyes bloodshot, and he immediately kicked Shen Xu.

But with two sharp sounds, both of the man's thighs were pierced, and a large amount of blood flowed out, staining the floor red.

boom--!

The man fell heavily to the ground. He tried to use his remaining hand to support himself and get up, but the residual lightning in his wound continued to damage his soul and meridians, making it impossible for him to stand up.

At this moment, veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat mixed with blood dripped down his forehead. The intense pain gradually brought him back to his senses from hatred.

He was a body-refining cultivator at the peak of the Qi Sea realm, but he was powerless against the young man in front of him. Even his proud physique was as fragile as paper in front of him.

What kind of person is this?!

Those around him looked at the young man with extremely solemn expressions. It wasn't that there weren't cultivators at the Yuan Dan realm among them, but they could only barely see a single arc of electricity.

The young man before them was definitely not a pushover, but a prodigy of extraordinary talent!

"Who sent you?" Shen Xu squatted down and asked calmly.

"Is this how Feng's Pharmacy treats its customers? I believe the Enforcement Hall will take care of things for me after I die."

Looking at the indifferent young man before him, the man clenched his remaining hand and revealed a mocking smile.

"Not good!" Shen Xu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to subdue the man.

But the man was clearly faster; after severing his own meridians, he slowly fell silent.

"Damn it!" Shen Xu's gaze was terrifyingly gloomy. He knew that killing was strictly prohibited in Dan Ding City.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at the young man with a hint of sympathy. No matter what the young owner of Feng's Pharmacy did today, he probably wouldn't have a good ending.

But who would go to such lengths to frame him by sending a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm?

They all knew that the law enforcement team would soon find out the truth, but in the meantime, the owner of Feng's Pharmacy would probably have to spend some time in jail.

"Manager Xiao, how should this situation usually be handled?" Shen Xu asked another manager who had brought the enforcement team to the store.

Shopkeeper Xiao swallowed hard. "Returning to the master, it's usually handled by the enforcement team in Dancheng."
