Chapter 224 Harsh Conditions
It is rare to find such a young deputy director of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The Pharmacist King did not care about Chen Xian's identity. Anyone who came to see him had only one identity, and that was a patient.

"Take it out."

Chen Xian didn't say anything either. He spread out his palm and a white jade bottle floated towards the Pharmacist King.

Pharmacist Wang raised his hand to take it, opened the bottle cap and took a quick look, then looked up at Chen Xian in surprise.

When someone asked him to treat common tuberculosis, he just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that he could actually get the saliva of the black jade toad.

"I keep my word. Bring me the saliva of the black jade toad and it can cure any disease." He said calmly and snapped his fingers.

Chen Xian noticed that a thread of air instantly wrapped around Chen Quan's wrist.

After about three breaths, the Pharmacist King collected his breath and said calmly, "It's not a serious illness, just tuberculosis and qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Take the Jinling Lung Qi Pills I made, one pill a day for seven days, and the disease will be cured."

"As for Qi deficiency and blood deficiency, it will also be improved. After taking the pills, you can go to the medicine shop or the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion to get some Qi deficiency and blood deficiency herbs. Take care of it for a month, stop, and then continue to take care of it. After six months, you should be back to normal."

As he spoke, the Pharmacist King raised his hand and a white jade bottle floated towards Chen Xian.

Chen Xian took a quick look with his spiritual sense and found seven golden pills in the white jade bottle.

"Thank you, Pharmacist King, for the medicine." Chen Xian bowed.

The Pharmacist King was slightly stunned. He did not expect Chen Xian to be so polite. He waved his hand and said, "Nothing. I also have conditions."

"Junior is taking his leave!" Chen Xian nodded and prepared to leave with his father.

"Wait!" Pharmacist King suddenly spoke.

Chen Xian frowned slightly and turned back to ask, "Senior Pharmacist Wang, is there anything else?"

The Pharmacist King stared at Chen Xian: "I see that your mind is dark, your spirit is dull and dark, your soul body is damaged, right?"

Chen Xian was stunned: "Senior, can you cure it?"

The Medicine King shook his head: "No!"

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Xian's eyes.

The Medicine Master King didn't care about Chen Xian's look and asked, "Are you practicing a secret technique to repair your soul body?"

Chen Xian was a little surprised. How could this be seen?

He nodded and said, "Not bad."

The Medicine Master King said calmly: "It's a life-or-death struggle. If you succeed, you'll have magical powers. If you fail, you'll be reduced to ashes."

Chen Xian was secretly surprised. He did not see through the Pharmacist King, but the Pharmacist King saw through him. This old man was not simple!

"Senior, you know me very well, do you have any advice for me?" he asked.

Since the Pharmacist King has spoken, even if I can't repair his spiritual body, I'm sure there's something I can do to help him.

The Pharmacist King stared at Chen Xian for a long time and said, "I have a condition. If you agree, I can help you. If you don't agree, forget it."

Chen Xian said: "Senior, please tell me what the conditions are."

Pharmacist Wang Dao: "Help me kill one person."

Chen Xian frowned slightly: "Who to kill?"

Pharmacist Wang said: "Gu Qingyang."

Who is Gu Qingyang?
Chen Xian had never heard of this person's name, so he turned around and looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't know who Gu Qingyang was and shook his head at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian asked: "Senior, who is Gu Qingyang?"

Pharmacist Wang Dao: "You are still too young. I will not hide it from you. Gu Qingyang is a master of the Tianwu Sect and a master of the supernatural power realm. He is respectfully called Qingyang Martial Saint in the martial arts world."

"...!!"

Chen Xian and Wang Yan were stunned.

Chen Quan was also shocked. Only Chen Rong didn't know who the Martial Saint was.

"As a reward, I will give you a Nine-turn Life and Death Pill. I am the only one in the world who has this pill. Please consider it." The Pharmacist King also knew that it was very difficult to kill a Martial Saint, so he gave Chen Xian time to consider.

"Nine-transformation Life and Death Pill, kills the Martial Saint?" Chen Xian's eyes flickered, "How much help can this pill provide to me in repairing my soul body?"

The Pharmacist King knew that Chen Xian was tempted, and couldn't help but say: "This pill can increase your success rate of the Nine Transformations to Yang God by at least 70%. As long as you are lucky, you will reach the Divine Ability Realm within ten years."

"As for killing Gu Qingyang, I will give you 30 years. You can complete it at any time, but you must kill him and bring his head to me."

Chen Xian asked: "Senior, can you give me the elixir in advance?"

The Pharmacist King nodded and said, "In your situation, without the help of the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Pill, your chance of success in repairing your soul body through the Nine Revolutions Yang God Secret Art is only 30%. Taking the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Pill can help you reach more than 70%. Only when your soul body is repaired can you break through to the supernatural realm. Otherwise, you will never break through in your lifetime."

Chen Xian nodded secretly: "Senior, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word after taking the elixir and repairing my soul body?"

The Pharmacist King sneered: "The Nine-transformation Life and Death Pill was made by me. Although I can help you, I have a trick up my sleeve. If you kill someone and come to me with your head, I can still help you."

Chen Xian stared at the Pharmacist King: "Senior, you are so powerful, why don't you kill Gu Qingyang yourself?"

The Pharmacist King shook his head: "I am just a useless person, I just make some pills. If I could kill Gu Qingyang, why would I be here talking nonsense with you?"

Chen Xian didn't say anything, nor did he ask the Pharmacist King why he didn't ask other Martial Saints to kill Gu Qingyang.

He doesn't know much about Gu Qingyang, so he'll talk about it after he knows more about him.

"Senior, may I ask you a question? How did Gu Qingyang offend you?"

"He killed my first wife!"

"Is Gu Qingyang a great villain?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xian nodded secretly: "Junior, take your leave. If I have thought it through, I will come to see you."

He immediately left with his father, sister Chen Rong and Wang Yan.

He was still very concerned about the Nine-Transformation Life and Death Pill mentioned by the Pharmacist King, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that there was no mention of the Nine-Transformation Life and Death Pill in the information about elixirs in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Return to the inn.

Chen Xian asked his father to take a Jinling Feiqi Pill first. He and Wang Yan returned to the headquarters and immediately investigated Gu Qingyang's file. However, there was no file about Gu Qingyang in the headquarters' file library.

Then he looked for the Nine-Turn Life and Death Pill and found a record about it in a book called [Book of Strange Pills]. Taking this pill can allow one to make nine turns of yin and yang. With each turn, one's cultivation strength will undergo earth-shaking changes and it can also condense the soul and body.

Chen Xian was extremely excited as he watched, but in the end, he found out that the method of refining the elixir had been lost.

"Lost?" He was stunned.

How could the Pharmacist King know a lost method of alchemy?
Chen Xian closed the [Special Elixir Catalog]. No matter where the Pharmacist King got the method to refine the Nine-Transformation Life and Death Pill, he took the pill first. He would know whether it worked or not after taking it.

He just wanted to kill Gu Qingyang. He was a powerful martial saint. If he wasn't a bad guy, he would definitely not kill him.

Unless Gu Qingyang is a bad person.

Return to the East Hall.

Chen Xian called Peng Dazhuang.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down and talk."

Chen Xian smiled and asked Peng Dazhuang to take a seat. Wang Yan brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Peng Dazhuang.

Peng Dazhuang was a little surprised. He said, "Sir, there is no news about the three things you told me to do."

Chen Xian asked him to investigate the Black Corpse Sect and look for the [Black Turtle Secret Scroll] and information about the Immortal's Tomb.

Chen Xian waved his hand and said, "I asked you to come here just to chat."

Peng Dazhuang smiled and said, "Sir, this is not your style. Just say what you want to say."

From the past month that he had been in contact with Chen Xian, he knew that Chen Xian was definitely not the kind of person who would seek out his subordinates for tea and chat, so there must be something going on.

Seeing this, the smile on Chen Xian's face disappeared, "Do you know Gu Qingyang?" "Martial Saint Gu Qingyang?"

Peng Dazhuang was slightly stunned, wondering why this Lord Chen was investigating Gu Qingyang.

He shook his head and said, "I don't really understand."

Chen Xian said: "What's the basic situation?"

Peng Dazhuang said, "This humble official knows that Gu Qingyang is a martial arts master of Tianwu Sect, ranked second among the ten martial arts masters. He was a martial arts genius a thousand years ago. It is said that he has one foot in the ranks of martial arts emperors. I don't know if it's true or not."

"In the past five hundred years, we have rarely heard news about Qingyang Martial Saint, but I am sure that he is still alive and should be deep in the Tianwu Sect."

"Does Gu Qingyang have any descendants?" Chen Xian asked.

Peng Dazhuang asked, "My Lord, do you know Gu Yun, the second-ranked genius of the Tianwu Sect?"

"Gu Yun?"

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly. Isn't this the proud young man who followed Elder Mo Changqing when he went to Guantianjing last time?
"Gu Yun is the descendant of Gu Qingyang?"

"He is a great-great-grandson." Peng Dazhuang said, "After Gu Qingyang, there was only this Gu Yun. He is less than 30 years old, but he has already reached the second level of Tiangang. He may have supernatural powers before he is 100 years old."

Chen Xian nodded secretly: "What else do you know about Gu Qingyang?"

Peng Dazhuang glanced outside the hall and said in a voice transmission: Gu Qingyang's one son and two grandsons all died in feuds, leaving only Gu Yun's lineage.

"Vendetta?"

Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that Gu Qingyang had quite a few enemies.

He also sent a message: "Is the person who killed his son and grandson dead?"

Peng Dazhuang shook his head: "I don't know."

Chen Xian said: "Then do you know who they are?"

Peng Dazhuang shook his head. "How can I know what happened hundreds of years ago?"

Seven days passed in a flash.

Chen Xian did not investigate Gu Qingyang any further. In addition to handling daily affairs, he also paid attention to his father's tuberculosis condition.

The Golden Spirit Lung Qi Pills were really powerful. After taking them for the third day, my dad's cough was significantly relieved. On the fifth day, he almost stopped coughing. On the seventh day, he looked much younger. Combined with the body-refining elixir water he soaked in, he looked radiant.

Chen Quan was also very excited about this.

Who would have thought that his tuberculosis could be cured and his body gradually returned to its youthful state? As long as he maintained this condition, it would not be a problem for him to live another 30 years.

Recently, Chen Quan has also begun to pay attention to health preservation. Even though he knows that he cannot practice the [Qingshan Jue], he forces himself to memorize it every day and practice according to the [Qingshan Jue] Qi-nourishing chapter.

"Thousands of people missing in four counties?"

In the main hall, Chen Xian looked at the cases reported by the East Division and the Four County Demon Suppression Divisions and found that most of them were cases of missing persons, which had not been solved yet.

Chen Xian looked at Peng Dazhuang and asked, "Has this happened in other companies as well?"

Peng Dazhuang nodded: "I went to the other three divisions to ask about it. They also have missing persons cases, which are more serious than ours."

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the Red Wolf Gang in Fengyun County, which had captured hundreds of girls.

Could the missing people this time be the demons and evil creatures from the Black Abyss who entered Fengtian Realm and abducted living people for cultivation?
"You go and investigate it yourself to see if it was done by a demon." Chen Xian said.

"Yes, sir. I will go right away."

After Peng Dazhuang left, Chen Xian called Jing Xiuran.

Jing Xiuran is very young, in his early thirties, with a wheat-colored complexion. He is one of the two powerful Tiangang warriors under his command, the black-clothed Wanhu.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Jing Xiuran's eyes were bright and he saluted respectfully.

"You go to the Shiwan Mountains in person and check what the demons are doing."

"Yes, sir." Jing Xiuran nodded and left.

The next day was August 3rd.

Jing Xiuran came back and told Chen Xian that the number of monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was three times more than before. Many monsters came out of the Black Abyss. Those monsters were very ferocious and they started to kill each other in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

He discovered hundreds of auras beyond the Tiangang realm, but did not dare to pursue them and hurried back.

Half a day later.

Peng Dazhuang returned to the main hall and told Chen Xian two things: one was that the body of Mu Wanchen, a disciple of the Chiyang Sword Sect, had been stolen again, and the other was that the three young masters of the Yu family were missing.

Chen Xian frowned. The theft of Mu Wanchen’s body was definitely done by the remnants of the Black Corpse Sect. What about the three missing people from the Yu family?

"Why would someone from the Yu family go missing?"

"Sir, I don't know either. The elders of the Yu family are currently investigating. Someone has fallen into the abyss again." Peng Dazhuang said.

Wang Yan, who was standing aside, sneered in his heart, he deserved it!

He is not strong enough. If he were strong enough, he would take the opportunity to destroy the Yu family.

Chen Xian stared outside the hall without saying anything. It seemed that Feng Tianjing was going to be unstable!
"Are there any missing persons reports today?"

"There are... three thousand people."

"Three thousand?"

A cold look flashed across Chen Xian's eyes.

At this time, Wang Qinglin came hurriedly outside the hall.

"Meet Master Chen."

"explain."

"Lord Si Zheng has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation of the missing persons incident within Lord Chen's jurisdiction."

"Reporting to Lord Si Zheng, I will conduct a thorough investigation immediately." Chen Xian said calmly.

There were 1,000 people yesterday, and today the population has increased to 3,000. The situation has indeed become serious.

But before going for a thorough investigation, he still had to go to Yaowang Valley.

After settling his father and sister, Chen Xian took Peng Dazhuang, Wang Yan and hundreds of other demon-suppressing guards to Qingchuan County.

Since Qingchuan County had the most serious missing persons reports, we would start the investigation from there. Coincidentally, the Chiyang Sword Sect was also in Qingchuan County.

Leave Fengtian City.

Chen Xian asked Peng Dazhuang to take his men to Qingchuan County first, and he went to Yaowang Valley alone.

To his surprise, there were actually two spiritual eyes locking onto him.

Until the two spiritual eyes from Medicine King Valley disappeared, he never discovered who it was from beginning to end, but it was not difficult to guess that either the Sixth Prince or Prince Feng was going to attack him.

"Master Chen, please!"

As soon as Chen Xian appeared outside the Medicine King Valley, the medicine boy quickly appeared and took him away.

Deep in Yaowang Valley.

In the bamboo house.

Chen Xian looked at the pharmacist Wang Dao and said, "Can you change the conditions you proposed last time?"

The Medicine King shook his head: "No."

Chen Xian said, "Senior, you should know that I am the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Division, and Gu Qingyang is the Martial Saint of the Tianwu Sect. If I don't have solid evidence of his heinous crimes, then killing him at any time would not only violate the regulations of the Demon Suppression Division, but also go against the moral principles of the martial arts world."

Pharmacist Wang Dao: "I said he is a bad guy, but you don't believe me. It doesn't matter. I can give you the Nine Transformations Life and Death Pill. Thirty years is enough for you to find out all his evil deeds. Then it won't be too late to kill him."

Chen Xian frowned and said, "What if we don't find out?"

The pharmacist king said: "That's because you are incompetent."

Chen Xian had a blank expression on his face. He stared at the Pharmacist King for a moment and said, "After taking the Nine-transformation Life and Death Pill, can I use the Myriad Yuan Gang to protect my soul body?"
