Early the next morning.
The sky had just brightened.
"Sir, not good!"
Chen Guhong came to Zhou Fu's courtyard with a pale face and said in panic, "Sir, not good, my family's alchemists were all killed last night!"
"What!?"
Zhou Fu's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Guhong, "Speak clearly!"
Chen Guhong paused for a moment and said, "Last night, a servant suddenly came to report that the alchemist's courtyard was on fire. This subordinate hurriedly brought people over.
But when I rushed over, everything that could be burned was almost burned. I asked people to put out the fire while looking for people. When I found them, the three alchemists were all dead, killed by someone. "
Zhou Fu asked, "Did you find out who did it?"
"Not yet."
Chen Guhong shook his head, "The other party acted quickly and neatly, and also set fire. We didn't find anything at the scene."
The alchemists were actually gone. A tyrannical mood rose from the bottom of Zhou Fu's heart. He was not reconciled and continued to ask, "Then does the Chen family have any enemies?"
How could there be no enemies when doing business?
After the incident, Chen Guhong also thought about it, but then he immediately denied it. Doing business, everyone followed the unwritten rules.
If there was anyone who didn't abide by the rules, by killing the other party's alchemists, using a drastic move to defeat the other party, they would definitely be jointly attacked.
Moreover, at this time, the medicinal herbs merchants in the east of the city had already moved. They put in money and effort to find the culprit. The rules were the rules, this example could not be broken!
Not only the medicinal herbs merchants, but the alchemists also relied on their connections to investigate. This was related to the lives of people in their line of work, so they definitely couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Facing Zhou Fu's question, Chen Guhong explained, "There are a few in the same line of work, but they won't do this.
All trades and professions have their own rules. In our line of business, we can only use normal means to win.
If anyone dares to go down the evil path, then he will be facing all the medicinal herbs merchants. "
Zhou Fu clenched his fists a few times before quickly releasing them.
He was furious. Last night, there was a problem with his body. After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of a way.
Who knew that on the second day, he would receive news that the Pill Master he had just accepted yesterday was gone. How could he not be angry?
Since he still didn't know who the murderer was, he could only wave his hand helplessly and order, "Go and investigate first."
"Yes!" Chen Guhong turned around and left.
"Sigh ~" Zhou Fu leaned against the back of the chair, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Good move. It should be directed at me, right?
Shi Long, is it you?! "
He looked at the scenery outside the window. Suddenly, a name appeared in his mind. He narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger on the armrest of the chair. "Could it be Sex Gang?" he thought.
At this moment, Jin Peng ran in in a panic.
"Sir, there's a letter from the headquarters." After saying this, he took a small package and placed it on the table near Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu looked at the package and froze. Didn't he say there was a letter?
Why was it a package?
He waved at Jin Peng, and the other tactfully left the room.
He opened the package and found a half-sized wooden box inside. It was more than twenty centimeters in length, width, and height.
He took off the lid and found a letter on the first layer.
He then took off the first layer, revealing the bottom layer. Zhou Fu looked at it and frowned.
The second layer of the wooden box was filled with pills wrapped in wax. They were stacked on top of each other.
On top of the pills was a note with the words "Qi Condensation Pill" written on it.
On the side was the effect of the pill. The general idea was that taking this pill before cultivation could increase the efficiency of internal strength condensation. For people in Zhou Fu's realm, it could increase by at least sixty percent.
Zhou Fu stretched out his palm and slid it on the pill. He sneered in his heart, "Didn't I find the culprit?"
He then picked up the envelope on the first layer and opened it to read.
Zhou Fu took the letter and read it line by line. His face slowly darkened. After reading it, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Good!
Good!
Good!
Very good!
I can't go to the Combat Cultivation Tower. I can't go to the headquarters without the Sect Leader's orders.
How ruthless! "He put down the envelope and felt a sense of helplessness. In the end, he was still too weak. Otherwise, even if the culprit did it, they wouldn't dare to do it so brazenly.
Then, he placed his gaze on the medicinal pills. "Restricting me while giving me cultivation resources. Hehe, this is a good plan!"
He also knew that no matter how angry he was, it was useless. Cultivating hard and increasing his strength was his top priority.
Zhou Fu burned the letter from the headquarters, picked up the wooden box, and walked into the cultivation room.
…
Two months later.
Zhou Fu walked out of the cultivation room with a satisfied smile on his face.
Now, he had opened his ninth meridian, and his body had been strengthened again.
"After strengthening my body this time, the burden is much less. Even the strength I used to fight Zhao Wanshan won't be a problem."
When he was in a good mood, everything he saw was beautiful.
"Greetings, Sir!
Greetings, Sir and Young Master. "
Ma Shouping, Huang Feng, Chen Guhong, and Jin Peng bowed to Zhou Fu.
"Alright, alright. Who came up with this idea? There's no need to be so polite." Zhou Fu waved his hand and gestured for them to stand up.
Although that was what he said, who could withstand such a situation? He was still very happy.
"You guys came together. What's the matter?"
Ma Shouping said, "Young Master, your house is ready. It's not far from here.
It only took me a little more than 15 minutes to come here.
Moreover, Yuzhu has already set it up there. "
"Alright, let's go take a look."
After getting on the carriage, the group rushed to the new house.
After less than ten minutes, the carriage stopped.
Zhou Fu walked down the carriage and his eyes suddenly lit up. The six-meter wide vermillion door was very eye-catching. On the door, there was a black plaque with golden words on it. The words "Zhou Residence" were written on it. Zhou Fu's eyes twitched when he saw it.
What he wanted was just a convenient place to cultivate. He didn't expect these people to make it so ostentatious.
After entering the door, what entered his eyes was a large projector wall with exquisite carvings.
Behind the projector wall was a medium-sized courtyard. There were three paths that led to the main hall and two corridors on both sides.
Zhou Fu looked at them and was a little dissatisfied. Where was the training ground that he wanted?
Ma Shouping was indeed Zhou Fu's appointed butler. He immediately understood the young master's thoughts. He said, "Young Master, the training ground is at the back. After passing through the main hall, it will be there."
They continued to walk inside and met many servants along the way.
After passing through the main hall, a spacious open-air training ground appeared. On both sides of the training ground, there were two rows of weapon racks that were already full of weapons.
"Young Master," Ma Shouping pointed to the house facing the training ground and said, "The first floor of the house is a training room. When the weather is bad, it won't affect the young master's training.
Moreover, the floor is made of three horizontal and three vertical bricks. The top is paved with a layer of bluestone bricks. It's absolutely solid and won't have water vapor.
The second floor is for the young master to meditate and cultivate Qi. It's clean, comfortable, and bright. "
The few of them chatted as they walked in.
On both sides of the house, there was a study room and a bathroom. They were both connected to this place.
The bathroom was very large. There was a place for steaming, a place for medicinal baths, and even the bathrooms were divided into wooden buckets, showers, and baths.
Zhou Fu nodded as he looked at all the facilities.
Further inside the courtyard was the main house and the rest area. Yuzhu was busy leading the servants.
After walking around, Zhou Fu sighed in his heart. This is my own house. It's so luxurious. I'm so happy.
Ever since he came to this world, this should be the first thing that truly belonged to him.
"Thank you for your trouble."
After receiving Zhou Fu's affirmation, a smile appeared on their faces. "This is what we should do. It's what we should do …"
Huang Feng opened his mouth and said, "Sir, my Huang Family and the Chen Family will each send out two Bone Forging guards to live here. They will be able to help sir deal with some minor problems."
As for the big problems, of course, they would be solved by Zhou Fu himself.
Zhou Fu nodded in satisfaction. He took out the "Armor Breaking Blade" and handed it to Huang Feng. He instructed, "In the future, use this cultivation method to train the guards." This secret manual was handwritten by Zhou Fu.
"Yes!"
Huang Feng respectfully took it and thanked him together with Cheng Guhong. "Thank you for your reward, Sir."
Then, they accompanied Zhou Fu for a while and then left one after another.
After calming down, Zhou Fu went to the study room and began to write a letter.
After two months of consumption, he had used up all the Spirit Condensing Pills in his hand. For the next cultivation, he needed to ask for medicine from the headquarters.
Looking at the letter he finished writing, Zhou Fu sighed. "In two months, I didn't even manage to invite a single alchemist. Haha … The Chen family's channels have collapsed by half. Huang Jia's business is also being secretly messed with. One by one, they are forcing me."
