Chapter 179: Experiencing the Feeling of Sudden Wealth Again (1/2)
Late at night, the New Adventist City was dark and silent.
Yan Manzhong, who had just come out of [Huichun Tower], was walking quickly on the street.
Suddenly, he ran into a group of patrolling soldiers.
"Stop, who is it?"
More than a dozen soldiers all pulled out their swords, and then quickly surrounded Yan Manzhong. If Yan Manzhong made any move, they would attack with their swords.
Another person quickly moved away from here, holding a long object in his hand.
It seemed to be a signal flare that would alert the whole city if something happened.
Obviously, this is a group of well-trained soldiers.
Yan Manzhong has encountered this situation many times, so he is very skilled in dealing with it.
Yan Manzhong took out the token, threw it directly to the team leader, and said flatly: "Let's take a look."
Such a confident look made the captain a little confused.
So, he quickly waved his hand and asked one of his men with a torch to come closer.
In an instant, the front of the squad leader was illuminated by the light of the torch.
A token reflecting bronze light appeared in front of the squad leader.
The four characters "Bafangxing" are deeply engraved on this bronze token.
Seeing these four words, the team leader felt as if he was electrocuted and quickly returned the token to Yan Manzhong.
"Excuse me, sir, please."
The squad leader said respectfully, and asked his men to sheath their swords, and at the same time opened a passage for Yan Manzhong to leave.
Seeing this, Yan Manzhong just said "Yeah" and left without looking back.
After Yan Manzhong walked far away, someone asked the captain: "Captain, what is the token? Are you letting him go like this?"
The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied impatiently: "I don't know either, but there is an order from above. Anyone holding this token will be allowed to pass without collision."
This answer made his team members look at each other in shock.
After that, they continued patrolling.
After encountering three waves of patrolling soldiers, Yan Manzhong finally arrived at his destination, the house he bought in Xinjiang City.
"Master, you are back."
The guard at the door hurriedly welcomed Yan Manzhong in, and then the housekeeper hurried over to greet Yan Manzhong.
"Master, you smell of alcohol because you drank a lot. The kitchen has prepared hangover soup. Would you like some?"
"And Madam has already gone to bed. If you come back smelling like alcohol, I'm afraid Madam will tell you. Why don't you take a shower after drinking the hangover soup to get rid of the alcohol smell."
The butler suggested thoughtfully.
Yan Manzhong was a little moved after hearing this. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to answer, he suddenly heard a short and strange voice, which made his face change.
So, he took back what he almost said just now, and then said something like this:
"There's no need for sobering up soup. I'm not drunk yet. As for the hot bath, I'll go to the bathroom on my own in half an hour. There's no need to send someone to notify me."
"By the way, I'm going to stay in the study today. I have something to check. Remember not to let anyone disturb me."
Yan Manzhong ordered with a serious expression.
To this, the butler replied seriously: "Okay, sir, no servants will disturb you tonight."
"Okay." Li Yanzhong nodded slightly, and then walked towards the study.
After a while, Yan Manzhong came to his study.
As soon as he entered, he found a dark figure sitting on the chair in the study.
However, he did not panic. Instead, he saluted respectfully and said, "I have met the Xinchen priest."
It turned out that this person turned out to be Yan Manzhong's superior, the New Moon Priest of the Moon Temple in the New Advent City, Lin Xinchen.
"Well, light the oil lamp."
Lin Xinchen's voice was hoarse and feminine, giving people an eerie feeling in the darkness.
"Yes, Lord Priest."
Yan Manzhong, who looked very majestic outside, seemed very obedient at this time.
After all, most of his power and status come from the person in front of him.
When Yan Manzhong lit the oil lamp on the desk, a handsome man in black robes, who looked about thirty years old, appeared in front of Yan Manzhong.
"How's the deal going?"
Lin Xinchen asked while tapping the solid wood desk.
Yan Manzhong quickly took out the bulging [storage bag] from his arms, but without thinking, he took out the other two bags and dropped them on the ground.
There was a "click" sound, and the collision sound between the spirit beads in the bag and the ground was dull and powerful.
Suddenly, a large amount of cold sweat broke out from Yan Manzhong's back.
"Bring the [storage bag] over yet."
Lin Xinchen didn't seem to see the two bags on the ground, and kept staring at the [storage bag] in Yan Manzhong's hand.
"Yes, yes", after Yan Manzhong handed the [storage bag] to Lin Xinchen's hand, he quickly touched his forehead.
At that moment, a large amount of white hair sweat broke out on his body, and the back where he sweated the most was already a little wet.
As for the two bags on the ground, Yan Manzhong didn't dare to look at them and just stayed there.
After Lin Xinchen took the [storage bag], he tossed it up and down without any intention of opening it. He just asked Yan Manzhong: "How many spirit beads are there in it?"
"Reporting to my lord, there are a total of eight thousand five hundred kilograms of inferior spirit beads, which is more than 30% more than the number of spirit beads last time."
Yan Manzhong answered honestly.
Hearing Yan Manzhong's words, Lin Xinchen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Why, how much evening primrose do they want now?"
"It's 30% more than last time."
"Thirty percent more!" Lin Xinchen murmured, and the work on his hands did not stop. His fingers kept tapping on the table of the desk, making a "ta-ta-da" sound.
Just when Yan Manzhong was panicking, Lin Xinchen said: "Three more will make 30%. Anyway, more and more [Evening Primrose] have been sent here from the church recently. Please do more. No one will see it at this time." 's out."
After Lin Xinchen finished speaking, Yan Manzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"However," as soon as these two words were spoken, Yan Manzhong's heart lifted again after he had just put it down.
Lin Xinchen stared at Yan Manzhong and said jokingly: "However, I want to know one thing, how much benefit did you get from the other party in this transaction."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Manzhong knelt down on the spot, with his head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Priest, please forgive me. I was confused for a moment, failed to withstand the temptation, and took the other party's money. I deserve to die. Damn it."
As he spoke, Yan Manzhong began to slap himself hard.
It was so powerful that it made a loud sound in the study.
"Okay, stop first."
Lin Xincheng stopped Yan Manzhong's self-mutilation behavior when he slapped him for the tenth time.
At this time, his face was swollen greatly, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had really exerted himself.
Looking at Yan Manzhong's pig-head-like cheeks, Lin Xincheng's eyes were full of teasing, satisfaction, and contempt.
He said in a condescending manner: "Pick up those two bags on the ground and give them to me."
After hearing this, Yan Manzhong quickly grabbed the two bags, walked to the other party on his knees, held the bags in both hands, and handed them to Lin Xincheng.
Lin Xincheng picked up a bag, tipped the weight, and then picked up another bag, doing the same behavior as before.
"It seems that these people from the Great Zhou Dynasty are quite generous with their gifts. They gave away more than two hundred kilograms of spirit beads just like this."
"It seems you get along well with them!"
Lin Xincheng said meaningfully.
When Yan Manzhong heard this, he immediately explained quickly: "Master Priest, you think highly of this villain. I am in the Yunzang realm. Although I am a third-class attendant of the Moon God in the sect, in the eyes of their great Zhou people, , especially since those two are both Xiantian realm warriors, how could they like me?"
"If I weren't the go-between between you and them, supplying them with evening primrose, I wouldn't even be qualified to talk to them."
"And the reason why they are so generous is because of your face. Without your tiger skin covering my body, I would be nothing."
"So in the final analysis, you are actually the most powerful."
Lin Xincheng enjoyed listening to Yan Manzhong's flattery, and the smile on his face lasted until the moment Yan Manzhong's words ended.
Patting Yan Manzhong's blood-red face covered with slap marks, Lin Xincheng said lightly: "Remember this lesson, I don't like someone lying to me, and if I find you accepting things from the other person in private, it won't be like this time. ”
"I understand, I understand, if there is a next time, even if you don't take action, you will kill yourself."
Yan Manzhong's words were very sincere, as if he almost showed his heart to Lin Xincheng.
Lin Xincheng chose to believe Yan Manzhong's words and let the matter end here without pursuing further.
However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. In the end, Yan Manzhong was unable to receive the share of the transaction because he accepted Ji Chen's benefits.
"Of course, you still have some merit, so if you don't give me a spiritual bead, you can't justify it."
"Now, here is a spiritual bead, which I gave to you as a reward."
Before leaving, Lin Xincheng dropped a spiritual bead and left here with Yan Manzhong's voice of thanks.
After Lin Xincheng left, Yan Manzhong frowned in the room, complaining to himself about why he was greedy and accepted the other party's benefits.
That was it until more than half an hour later, Yan Manzhong ran into a pool filled with hot water.
The expression in Yan Manzhong's eyes changed, and hatred and calculation became the background of his eyes.
"Have you finally left?"
It turned out that Yan Manzhong had been pretending just now. It was not until he entered the pool that he dared to reveal his true colors through the mist of water vapor.
"Lin Xincheng, just wait for me. When I get this spiritual bead and break through to Xiantian, I will definitely pay it back twice as much."
Yan Manzhong roared in his heart, but in reality he buried his head in the pool, showing a ferocious expression on his face.
In fact, the price of this batch of [Evening Primrose] has not increased at all. Even because the number of [Evening Primrose] sent by the Moon God Sect is increasing, Lin Xincheng hinted to Yan Manzhong before this transaction, When necessary, lower the price a bit.
Who would have known that Yan Manzhong did the opposite and instead of lowering the price, he directly raised the price by 30% on the grounds that Ji Chen needed 30% more [Evening Primrose].
With just such a little change, Yan Manzhong earned 1,500 kilograms of spiritual beads in one night.
If this were calculated based on Yan Manzhong's current earning power, he would never be able to earn so many spirit beads in his lifetime.
And he just exposed himself to accepting the benefits from the other party, and it was also deliberately exposed.
You know, this benefit was obtained after he hinted to Ji Chen during the transaction.
So, he could actually avoid such humiliation, but he took the initiative to stage such a play just to reassure Lin Xincheng.
He helped Lin Xincheng trade with Ji Chen and others several times, and the accumulated spirit beads were almost enough for him to make a third innate breakthrough.
However, once he became innate, the relationship between Lin Xincheng and him would not be superior and subordinate, but equal.
The Moon God Cult has a rule that as long as the third-class Moon God attendant breaks through the innate, he will be directly promoted to the New Moon Priest.
Then, how should this deal be done, should more profits be given to him?
It was precisely because of this understanding, combined with Lin Xincheng's increasingly weird attitude towards him recently, that Yan Manzhong staged such a good play.
"Wait, wait until I get the 1,500 kilograms of spirit beads. So many spirit beads are enough for me to buy higher breakthrough resources, so that I can break through without any mistakes."
"When I reach the Xiantian, I will make myself disgraced and die a miserable death."
Just when Yan Manzhong was imagining how to plot against Lin Xincheng after he achieved Xiantian, he didn't know that Lin Xincheng had been plotted against by others.
"Who are you? How dare you kidnap the priest of the Moon God Cult? Do you want to confiscate the family and exterminate the three clans?"
In a very remote ruin, Lin Xincheng was trapped by Li Yan and lay weakly on the ground.
Even the fierce shout he made seemed very weak and without any momentum.
Perhaps he himself couldn't figure out why he, who was so high and mighty the moment before, ended up in such a situation the next moment.
In fact, what he didn't know was that when he followed Yan Manzhong, he had already become Li Yan's target.
Li Yan predicted Yan Manzhong's route to determine his trajectory, and then arrived at the place they might pass by one step ahead of them.
Then sprinkle [Tracking Powder] in these places, so that it is convenient for Li Yan to track.
After Lin Xincheng came to Yan Manzhong's study, Li Yan followed Yan Manzhong to the bushes outside the study.
Because of Li Yan's clone, as long as he wants, he can completely become a dead person without any sense of existence.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xincheng has never found anyone outside.
And it was the conversation between the two of them that made Li Yan change his target, from Yan Manzhong to Lin Xincheng.
Afterwards, Li Yan used the same trick again, came to the place where Lin Xincheng was going to pass in advance, and sprinkled various powders, this time various poisonous powders.
Finally, about three miles away from the Moon God Temple, he successfully captured the weak target.
Li Yan did not say any nonsense to Lin Xincheng, and directly took out his most effective and powerful second-grade medium-level elixir-[Self-examination Pill].
Stuffed it into the other party's mouth to obtain the information he needed.
After a full hour, Li Yan got everything he wanted.
Thus, Lin Xincheng died, and turned painlessly into a pool of blood.
"The storage bag is a good thing, but what's even better is the 8,500 kilograms of spiritual beads inside, as well as more spiritual beads in Lin Xincheng's own home."
Li Yan's face once again showed a smile of sudden wealth.
