Ch 3: Small Revitalizing Pill
He hurriedly shook his head, “The evidence of our transaction is at my residence. Come with me to retrieve it, I absolutely won’t run away.”
“Is that really true?”
Jiang Chen stroked his chin, as if he was really considering his suggestion.
“It’s true, I definitely won’t lie to you. If I can’t produce it then, you can just kill me!”
Li Chengqi knelt on the ground and continued anxiously, “I also have one thousand taels of silver and three Demonic Blood Pills at home. I can give you all of these things, just beg you to spare my life.”
“It’s just that I haven’t been able to open my Governing and Conception Vessels for too long, and I was temporarily blinded by greed, so I did business with the Demonic Sect.”
Li Chengqi’s expression was sincere, and his tone was humble, as if he was really a good person who had made a mistake.
“Then lead the way.”
Jiang Chen’s voice was calm, as if he was really moved by Li Chengqi’s words. He waved his hand lightly, signaling Li Chengqi to get up.
However, Li Chengqi did not get up immediately. He lowered his head, and the broken hair in front of his forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.
But just under those drooping eyelids, a hint of sinister color quietly flashed.
How could he just surrender like this?
Li Chengqi secretly calculated in his heart that if he was caught by the Jinyiwei and taken back, what awaited him would be endless interrogation and cruel torture, and in the end, it would still be a dead end.
“When I get back to the Capital City later, I must find a way to find my uncle, and then directly falsely accuse him of killing his superior, saying that he colluded with the Demonic Sect and plotted wrongdoing. Hmph, whether he surrenders or resists desperately, I can use the Jinyiwei’s hand to slowly play him to death, making him unable to live, unable to die!”
Li Chengqi secretly calculated in his heart, while showing a smug smile, as if he had already seen the scene of Jiang Chen being tortured to the point of wishing he were dead.
However, just as he was immersed in his own fantasy and became carried away with himself, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, as if he had been hit hard by something heavy.
The chopstick in his hand, like lightning, accurately and unmistakably pierced into the back of Li Chengqi’s head, and then gently twisted, and flew out with a burst of blood, and was firmly inserted on the wall of this wine shop.
Li Chengqi’s body suddenly froze. He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief, as if he couldn’t understand everything that was happening in front of him.
The corners of his mouth opened slightly, but he could no longer make any sound.
Jiang Chen looked at Li Chengqi coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
He clapped his hands lightly, as if he was disgusted that killing Li Chengqi had dirtied his hands.
【Sin Points +132】
He never intended to let Li Chengqi go from the beginning.
What a joke, how could he be willing to give these 132 Sin Points to others.
Asking him just now was just to get the evidence directly, so he wouldn’t have to slowly search his body again.
“System, open the personal panel.”
As his voice fell, a light screen of light blue color suddenly appeared in mid-air.
【Name: Jiang Chen】
【Realm: Peak Houtian Realm】
【Sin Points: 132】
【Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Thirteenth Level(Mystic Grade ━ Low Rank, Perfected, upgrading again requires 360,000 Sin Points)】
【Treasures: None】
Looking at the 360,000 Sin Points required to upgrade the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Jiang Chen decisively turned his attention to the lottery interface.
“System, can I draw a lottery now?”
“Yes! The System Roulette is divided into six levels: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red. 100 Sin Points can open a white lottery roulette once.”
“Then let’s draw a white roulette once first.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white roulette appeared in front of him.
On this roulette, there are pills, cultivation methods, money, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and five blank areas. The probability of drawing each is one-fifth.
“System! Why are there still blank spaces on it?”
Jiang Chen asked with some doubts.
“Blank means there is no prize.”
“Damn! Isn’t this too much of a rip-off?”
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched twice: “Will there also be blank spaces on the higher-level roulettes later?”
“Yes! However, the higher the level of the roulette, the smaller the blank area. The roulette level decreases by five percent for each level it rises.”
“Will it disappear when it reaches the golden roulette? Forget it, let’s not talk about this, let’s start the lottery first.”
Although Jiang Chen was helpless, he could only pray that his luck would not be so bad.
“Are you sure you want to start the lottery?”
The System’s voice sounded again.
“Start!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the roulette started to spin rapidly.
After a few breaths, the roulette slowly stopped.
And its pointer also landed on the position of the pill.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Small Revitalizing Pill, which can treat injuries after taking it, and increase the proficiency of any martial art by ten years.”
The next moment, a small wooden box appeared out of thin air, lying quietly in front of Jiang Chen.
His eyes narrowed, and he slowly took it in his hand with some curiosity.
The texture of the wooden box was simple and unadorned, and some strange patterns were carved on it, exuding a mysterious aura.
Jiang Chen gently opened the wooden box, and saw a black pill lying quietly inside, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
The surface of the pill was round and smooth, as if it had been carefully carved, exuding a faint black light, which looked quite extraordinary.
The medicinal fragrance was refreshing, making people feel refreshed, as if even the fatigue in the body had dissipated.
He carefully picked up the pill and examined it carefully.
There were some tiny lines engraved on the pill, as if they were natural, or as if they were carved by humans.
These lines were intricate and complex, but orderly, exuding a mysterious charm.
“I didn’t expect there to be such good things in the white roulette!”
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, and he became even more expectant of the things he could obtain later.
After putting the Small Revitalizing Pill into his arms, Jiang Chen began to search Li Chengqi and Jueming’s bodies.
After a while, he found a total of eight hundred taels of silver notes, a few blood-red pills, and a booklet.
Just by smelling this kind of pill, one could detect that human essence blood was added inside.
Jiang Chen put away the silver notes, and put these pills and the booklet back into Li Chengqi’s arms.
This is not a good thing. Although the Demonic Sect’s things are useful, the side effects are unimaginable.
Jiang Chen has a broad road to take, so naturally he will not touch those things.
But in addition to that, he also found the antidote to the fainting powder.
This was a small nose-and-mouth pot. Jiang Chen turned it around under the noses of these Jinyiwei, letting them all smell it.
After about a cup of tea’s time, these Jinyiwei gradually woke up.
