Chapter 408
After half a stick of incense.
Fang Qianqian's brows were furrowed so deeply they were almost like a knotted rope. Just now, Zhong Ming had asked him about "eating, drinking, and having fun," mentioning brothels, auction houses, and other high-class places to have fun. He patted his chest and started bragging.
Who told him to start visiting all sorts of entertainment venues on his very first day in Cliff City?
When Zhong Ming wasn't in charge, he often sneaked out to play, and no one dared to stop him.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a combination of bamboo, Pixiu, and numbers.
"It's definitely not an official rank, nor is it from any of the major auction houses. I've been to all the major auction houses; even though there were no signs, I've basically looked through them all."
Fang Qianqian was only at the Qi Refining stage after all. She didn't have that much money to go to some luxurious area, but she had to put on a show of wealth and act all high and mighty. She would look at all the other party's tokens and even if she only had a thousand military merit points in her pocket, she would still dare to ask what a jade token with a million military merit points looked like.
"Hmm, you seem to know your stuff well," Zhong Ming said in an unfriendly tone, and Fang Qianqian immediately straightened up.
He was about to explain, but considering Zhong Ming's personality, perhaps... it would be better to resolve the issue immediately?
"I've been to most casinos, so I don't think I've found any. Could it be a brothel?"
"Why don't you go and investigate?"
"No, Captain, I am a virtuous young man who has kept himself pure." Fang Qianqian said with righteous indignation.
Zhong Ming stared at him for about three seconds, then he deflated and said dejectedly, "Not many times, really not many times, but don't tell my sister."
“No,” he suddenly realized, “I’ll check for you, right away, wait for my good news.”
He immediately went back to his room to pack his things, seemingly planning to "stay" abroad.
Hehe, I was ordered to visit a brothel, and my sister got furious and came to find me. I told her it was Captain Cuihong who ordered me, and she'd beat me to death.
Zhong Ming stopped him before he could leave, "Walking so fast? Aren't you worried about your sister's injuries at all?"
"My sister... hey, I'll tell you in a secret, her injuries are mostly healed, but some of her important magical artifacts are broken and she's worried about that. Oh, by the way, take this."
He handed Zhong Ming a very small jade necklace. The necklace was so thin that it was almost transparent and could not be seen unless you looked closely.
"what is this?"
"Surveillance... Ah, my sister gave this to me for self-defense. Sometimes when she's in the mood, she'll use it to locate me. If you crush it, it will send out an emergency location... I can't let her know I'm in a brothel. Captain, you can wear it for now. If there's a problem, I can use this to contact her."
He waved his hand, revealing the ring on his hand.
Zhong Ming looked at him speechlessly and casually hung the necklace around his neck.
Anyway, he'll be patrolling the warehouse from now on, so his sister probably won't have time to come looking for him.
.....
A few hours ago, in the weapon-refining room of True Immortal He Li.
"What did you say? The target has contacted you? Why? There's absolutely no reason for this. We haven't even started the operation yet." The speaker was the guy from the report who was completely covered up.
"Shut up your raspy voice, there's no one else here." Master Heli seemed quite confident at this moment.
The other person's voice changed, becoming a gentle, womanly tone. "Get down to business. What exactly happened?"
"What happened? Of course, it's because my weapon-refining skills are superb. He somehow got the information and asked me to help him refine a magic weapon and a wine pot."
"A wine jug? Hmm, he does have some connection with a master brewer... Heh, too bad she's in seclusion, so she won't affect us."
"Drinking is good. You can live a life of drunkenness and forget when you'll die."
Both of them showed expressions of pleasure.
"In that case, he will definitely leave the warehouse at the agreed time and come here to pick up the goods?"
"That's right, and they will definitely come in. I can complete the task easily as a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
The two almost decided to open a vat of fine wine on the spot to celebrate.
"That's wonderful, I'll leave Chong'er's matter to you."
"Of course, I'm his second uncle... that's how you count the generations, right?"
Don't let his youthful appearance fool you; he's actually almost a hundred years old. Foundation Establishment cultivators typically live for around two hundred years, so he's still considered middle-aged.
"Don't be too happy yet." The woman changed the subject. "We still don't have a Golden Core cultivator on board, so it's not safe enough."
"If it succeeds, we'll soon have a Golden Core cultivator. Sometimes, the rise and fall of a family is a gamble; you have no choice but to take the risk."
The True Man of He Li sighed, "The path of the Great Dao can only be fought for, only seized."
"But he's at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and also a very powerful guard captain. You..."
Once the discussion turned to truly risky plans, the woman also expressed concern, worry about any eventuality.
"Are you trying to say I'm not good at fighting? Hmph, what's the point of fighting in my own weapon-refining room?"
Master He Li had a sudden inspiration, "How about we set up a teleportation array right here and teleport them directly to the secret chamber?"
"Ah, inside this fortress? Is that alright? This is Obsidian Fortress."
He wore a mysterious expression.
Long-distance teleportation is generally achieved by mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which results in what is known as a teleportation beam.
Short-distance teleportation requires a large amount of spirit stones and is difficult to pass through places protected by restrictions, especially places like the Obsidian Fortress with its many layers of restrictions and defenses.
He pointed down.
"You mean, walk out of the fire?"
“That’s right. We often use sky teleportation and forget about earth teleportation. We always say that it should be called long-distance earth escape or underground flying boat, but it is indeed a teleportation technique.”
Master Heli patted his chest and said, "The intensity of flames has decreased too much now. Powerful spiritual artifacts can withstand fire for a long time, let alone my fire magic teleportation as a master of fire-type artifact refining. You'll be waiting underground then."
Hearing this, she felt relieved and said sincerely, "After this is done, you will be Chong'er's godfather."
"Ah, this," he unconsciously looked the woman up and down, knowing full well what a horrifying sight lay beneath her clothes. He silently recited, 'If you do not accord with the Great Dao, you will seek death; only by purifying your heart and reducing desires can you achieve the path to immortality.'
"No, no, no, don't mess up the seniority. I'll still need Chong'er's help in the future."
"You're too kind, but then again, aren't we still relying on you now?" The two of them burst into laughter, filling the small room with a cheerful atmosphere.
