Zhou Xuzi was excited that he immediately drank the vial on the spot.

Yin Chen didn’t bother him as he just watched silently from the side.

In his heart, he also knew where Zhou Xuzi’s excitement came from.

Although Yin Chen had never experienced this kind of suffering himself, his elder sister did.

At that time, he was desperately looking for a way to cure the poison in his elder sister’s body. Until later, Master came to him and brought him a miracle.

One can imagine how excited he was back then.

Because of this, he knew very well how Zhou Xuzi was feeling at this moment.

Not long after, under Yin Chen’s spectacle, Zhou Xuzi’s unwell face rapidly became rosy and healthy; even his aura and breath became more stable than before.

It looks like the vial is working fine.

Yin Chen is feeling happy for the other party.

“Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, the poison in your body has been completely neutralized.”

Zhou Xuzi almost cried in tears; it was tears of joy. He hoarsely said, “Thanks to you, Mr. Yin, and also Sir Collector, I am finally free from the poison that has been tormenting me for the past five years. If it weren’t for that miraculous vial, my cultivation base would no longer be able to advance, and I would stay in the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm for the rest of my life.”

Yin Chen shook his head and said, “This is your fortune, Mr. Zhou. My Master and I are only doing business.”

“Regardless, I still have to thank you two.” Zhou Xuzi smiled as he said courageously, “If Mr. Yin needs me in the future, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I will do my best to help you. Although this old man only an Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, this The old man has a lot of influence in this town.”

“Then I’ll trouble you when the time comes, Mr. Zhou.”

“Hahaha…”

Suddenly when they were talking, a man in valiant armor entered the tavern causing many people in an uproar.

“It’s Shao Changfeng, Major Liu’s personal guard. What is he doing here?”

“I heard he has invited many powerhouses in the town to go on an expedition…”

“Wrong! From what I heard, Major Liu invited the powerhouses to hunt a Magical Beast.”

“Hunting a Magical Beast? What kind of Magical Beast requires many powerhouses to hunt?”

“It’s Poisonous Giant Snake, a Rank 2 Magical Beast. Haven’t you heard? This Magical Beast is currently wreaking havoc on the Monkey Mountain, causing cultivators to dare not to go there anymore.”

“What, seriously? Doesn’t that mean we can’t collect Monkey Wine anymore in the future?”

“Can you even collect it? I remember that you ended up naked after coming out of the Monkey Mountain. Many people saw your white ass; it’s shameful behavior.”

“You-…”

The one who gets taunted suddenly gets embarrassed as he recalls how disgraceful he was back then.

Meanwhile, the main character of the people talked walked into the tavern and stopped in front of Zhou Xuzi.

“It’s been a while, Fellow Daoist Zhou. I trust you’ve been doing well.”

Shao Changfeng gave a friendly greeting and quietly scrutinized Zhou Xuzi’s body.

The aura emitting from Zhou Xuzi’s body was much more stable than the last time they met.

The two of them had known each other for years. Thus, Shao Changfeng knew very well what had happened to Zhou Suzi in recent years.

However, from what he observed from Zhou Xuzi’s current condition, it seemed that he had recovered well.

This is obviously a piece of good news for him and Major Liu.

Zhou Xuzi nodded and replied, “It’s been a while Shao Chanfeng. Actually, I haven’t done well until now.”

???

Although Shao Changfeng was a little confused by Zhou Xuzi’s reply, he did not inquire further as he had more important business with him now.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, sorry to disturb your time. I came here to inform you that Major Liu invited you to see him.”

“Oh?” A hint of surprise appeared on Zhou Xuzi’s face.

In the past, he had met Major Liu several times. However, this was the first time he had received an invitation from

After all, he was only the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm loose cultivator while Mayor Liu is at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Moreover, the other party’s status is nobler than him.

He heard that Major Liu was not an ordinary person— he was an Inner Disciple of the Sleeping Dragon Sect.

“I wonder what Major Liu needs from me?” Zhou Xuzi tentatively asked.

Shao Changfeng smiled as he did not answer the question right away, “Fellow Daoist Zhou will naturally find out once you arrive at Major Liu’s Mansion.”

Zhou Xuzi fell into silence as he silently looked at the youth beside him.

Yin Chen, of course, noticed Zhou Xuzi’s gaze. He cupped his hands toward the other party and said, “Since my business here is finished, it’s time for me to take my leave, Mr. Zhou.”

“Thank you once again, Mr. Yin. I hope I can trade with you again next time.” Zhou Xuzi said.

“I’m looking forward to it~.”

After those words fell, Yin Chen instantly turned into a shadow, and then it swiftly moved out of the tavern until it disappeared under the watch of the people.

“This is…”

Shao Changfeng was astonished. He wanted to say something, but Zhou Xuzi interrupted him before he could finish.

“He’s just a good trader.” Zhou Xuzi meaningfully smiles at Shao Changfeng.

“…”

Shao Changfeng looked at Zhou Xuzi thoughtfully.

***

Late at night, a surprised voice was heard in a certain room.

The voice came from Qin Yi after he heard the news from Yin Chen that the major of this town was recruiting high-level cultivators to eliminate the Poisonous Giant Snake.

Yin Chen nodded in affirmation, “This is indeed the case. I have gathered information and paid a certain price for more in-depth and detailed information from a reliable informant. So, I’m pretty sure about this news, Master.”

It was said that many cultivators no longer dared to collect Monkey Wine ever since the appearance of the Poisonous Giant Snake on Monkey Mountain.

The Monkey Wine is a unique product from Monkey Town.

As such, Major Liu was worried that if there were no more cultivators who collected Monkey Wine, this town would lose its specialty.

Consequently, it will also significantly affect the economy of Monkey Town.

Not only that, but some cultivators also reported that the environment in the Monkey Mountain was severely damaged because of Poisonous Giant Snake and the monkeys’ fight.

Apart from that, the air and spiritual energy there were also deeply contaminated with poison.

If this problem is not resolved soonly, it won’t be long before the Monkey Mountain becomes the Poisonous Giant Snake’s nest entirely, and it would be dangerous for cultivators to venture it.

Therefore, Major Liu decided to eliminate the source of the problem as quickly as possible.

However, relying on Major Liu’s strength alone would not be enough to defeat a Rank 2 Peak Magical Beast. Only by recruiting the available cultivators would he have a higher chance of success.

“What about Major Liu and the group’s strength?” Qin Yi asked.

“According to the information I have, Major Liu has cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the rest are only Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realms.” Yin Chen replied.

“A Middle Stage and bunch of Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realms…” Qin Yi frowned. He tilted his head in confusion, “Even if he were to gather many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, it would be quite unlikely they could take down the Poisonous Giant Snake.”

Yin Chen also agreed with his Master’s estimate.

That Magical Beast not only had a high rank, it also had a poison attribute and a sturdy body.

As such, it would be difficult for anyone under its rank to defeat it. Let alone killing it.

Qin Yi rested his chin on his palm. He was silent for a moment before saying, “However, since Major Liu intends to make a move, that means he is quite confident. Maybe he has a plan or method or treasure that can help him defeat the Poisonous Giant Snake. So, what could it be? I’m so curious~.”

Hearing this, Yin Chen couldn’t help but put on a hesitant expression.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows as he looked at Yin Chen’s face.

“If you want to say something, just say it!”

Yin Chen coughed and hesitantly said, “Master, why don’t you just participate? With your help, perhaps Major Liu’s hunting operation success will have a higher chance…”

Qin Yi looked at the youth for a second, seemingly thinking of something.
