Chapter 291 Preparing for Alchemy
The medicinal materials were found quickly, and the substitute took all the medicinal materials he could get within his authority. It was Su Daoyu who came here with him. If it were someone else, he might have thought he had met a robber.
"What do you want these for?"
Su Daoyu asked, then lost interest.
"Forget it, it's up to you. If you want to make alchemy, our Zhenwu Sect has an alchemy room. You can use it for free with my token."
As a Taoist sect, Zhenwu Sect naturally has its own alchemy room.
"Need not."
Wu Chong shook his head. If it was before, he wouldn't mind using the alchemy room of the Zhenwu Sect, but now that he has noticed the problem, it is a bit unsafe to continue to stay here. The Zhenwu Cult's target is too big, so it's better to find a hidden place to deal with it.
'This place can't be too close to the imperial city, and it can't attract anyone's attention.'
Wu Chong thought about where to place the next step.
He planned to wait until nightfall and let his real body, disguised as a guard, leave with the medicinal materials and go to the outer city.
Shangjing is a big city.
It is divided into outer city, inner city and imperial city.
The inner city is where they are staying now, and there are many masters hidden secretly. No matter what you do here, it is not safe. Compared with the outer city where ordinary people live, it is much safer. Not only is the place large, but the population is also very mixed, making it a good place to hide.
The 'third brother' who was blamed by Jingzhao Mansion was hiding in the outer city with a smile, and has not been caught until now.
Even if Emperor Qi was indeed as he suspected, and had been monitoring him since he entered Shangjing City, his attention should be on the 'substitute', and he would never pay attention to an inconspicuous guard.
The weird method of human skin is Wu Chong's biggest reliance for daring to do this.
After bidding farewell to Su Daoyu, Wu Chong returned to Prince Jinghai's Mansion.
To attract attention, the more high-profile the stand-in, the better. Prince Jinghai’s Mansion is a high-profile place. Firstly, this is the territory of King Jinghai, so it will be much more convenient for them to do some things here. Secondly, after entering the palace, they can also avoid many eyes and ears.
"Tonight's goal is to find a useful alchemy room. Concealment comes first."
In the study room.
After Wu Chong scolded all the servants, he said to the human skin who followed.
"yes!"
"Remember to change your image before going out."
Wu Chong reminded.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen human skins fell off the corpse like ghosts, turned into running water and merged into the darkness, disappearing. There were only a dozen dry corpses left on the ground in the study.
They were just casually captured corpses of assassins. Now that they have lost the support of human skin, these corpses have become what they are.
"With these human skins, trivial matters can be taken care of. All I have to do is sort out the medicinal materials and start a new round of drug-taking upgrade journey." This reckless upgrade method is to rely on the Zhenwu Cult. Only big forces dare to use it. Ordinary people would go bankrupt if they bought a precious medicinal plant. How could it be possible for ordinary people to be like Wu Chong, who could eat it by the pound?
A night of silence.
Before dawn, a group of human skins returned.
Possessed on top of the corpse on the ground, a group of 'guards' came to life again.
"Sir, this is a qualified alchemy room."
The leader, a human-skin shadow, handed over the information they had collected throughout the night.
Wu Chong looked through it.
There are a total of thirteen places that meet the conditions, including the kitchen of a brothel, the blacksmith's ironmaking room, etc. In the end, Wu Chong chose a relatively quiet merchant courtyard. This courtyard was built by the merchants themselves. There was an independent boiler kitchen in it, which was used to boil water on weekdays.
"Go and buy this place, don't use the capital's money."
Wu Chong took out a wad of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it to Shadow.
When he came to Beijing, King Jinghai gave him a lot of money, all of which were anonymous on the black market. In the past, King Jinghai used this money to cultivate party members secretly. However, after Wu Chong inherited it, the money became his, and he could use it now without being investigated.
"My subordinates will do it now."
The stand-in who received the mission shed its skin again, and the body lay back on the ground.
Outer city.
A naughty man was walking arrogantly on the street, with one hand sticking out of his sleeve and scratching his armpit. He looked like he was not a good guy.
"Huang San, you came out at dawn today? Where did you go to fight in the wild last night?"
Zhangtou, the bun seller, asked after seeing the rogue.
They are all from the village. Although Huang San is not a good person, they have watched him grow up.
"You just came out of Pan's house. Lao Zhangtou, please bring me three beef buns and a bowl of rice wine." He sat down at the bun shop and ordered something to eat. He did not forget to place the copper plate on the table to show off.
"Pan family? Widow Pan!"
Lao Zhangtou immediately became energetic. Men are always interested in this kind of topic.
"Last night I went to Pan's house to spend the night. What a taste of Widow Pan."
Huang San licked his tongue, as if he was still recalling the battle last night.
"really not bad."
While he was bragging, Huang San didn't notice that a black shadow strung up from the floor tiles next to him. In the blink of an eye, it merged into his body, and a faint layer of 'human skin' covered his body. His entire being was 'replaced'.
"Is it really that good?"
Lao Zhangtou did not notice this change and asked with envy on his face.
He wanted to hear more.
It's a pity that his yellow-faced woman came, held his ears and asked him to help in the kitchen.
The human-skinned shadow moved its body, and regardless of the copper plate on the table and the food that had just been ordered, it stood up and walked towards the direction of Pan's house.
"Pan's family. Just right."
After a while, Huang Sanzhong returned to Pan's house.
Staring at Huang San's face, Renpi easily finished the matter. In just an hour, the ownership of the yard was transferred to Huang San's hands. During this process, 'Huang San', who spent a lot of money, attracted Widow Pan's flirtatious looks. Unfortunately, Huang San had already changed her core, and her flirtatious looks were destined to be in vain.
After buying the house, Huang San directly dismissed all the servants in the yard.
Later, someone customized a large copper lock and locked the door. After doing all this, he left in a big way. The next thing to do was to let Huang San disappear for a while to cool down the heat.
Huang San's departure did not cause much disturbance. At most, Widow Pan muttered a few words. Some people were curious about where Huang San got his money, but soon rumors spread that Huang San's ancestral home was demolished and a lot of money was divided.
After learning the result, everyone just sighed that Huang San was lucky.
After that, no one asked anymore, after all, Huang San didn't even know where to go.
The government just made a note, and as long as they could find out, they didn't bother to take care of it. On the contrary, if an outsider comes to buy it, the government's inspection will be much stricter, and it will attract the attention of interested people.
