Chapter 248 The Escape Operation Begins
In the room next to him, Niu Wanhe had just refined all the spiritual medicines.
However, his refining was a mess, and the amount of pills he made was not even 30% of the usual amount.
Niu Wanhe didn't care at all. He laughed and put the two pills in the pill furnace into the jade bottle, and then put the jade bottle in his arms solemnly.
"The last two pills~"
He exhaled a long breath, stood up and walked slowly in the stone room, then kicked the stone pillow away with one foot. Just as he was about to kick the stone chair to pieces, he suddenly remembered that Zhan Nianchuan's words were the same as usual, and quickly retracted his outstretched right leg.
Putting the stone pillow on the ground back on the stone bed, he forced himself to lie on the bed.
Ten years ago, he still seized every spare time to practice every day, but in the past ten years, every time he finished refining pills, he lay on the stone bed motionless, and sometimes rolled around on the ground when he was bored, rolling from one end of the room to the other.
The life he had been used to seemed so difficult today. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"Why are there still four hours?"
"Little bastard, if you can't take me out, I'll crush your balls!"
......
Yandang City.
North City Auction House.
A huge auction house that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
On the huge round platform, dozens of people are nervously placing moonstone pieces. These things can illuminate the entire round platform when the auction house is closed, and the effect is shocking.
In the largest box above, a cultivator who looks like a rich old man put his hands on the window, looking at the busy people below, and asked lightly:
"When will Lu Gui arrive?"
A beautiful woman in the foundation building realm beside him bowed her head and replied respectfully: "General Manager Lu said that we should prepare the auction items, and he will arrive two hours in advance."
"Well, remember to remind him that there are many Jindan realm cultivators present this time, and there must be no mistakes."
......
Yingxianju.
The largest and most luxurious inn in Yandang City.
In a spacious and bright room.
"Alas, I have sifted Yandang City like a sieve several times. The Holy Son is probably not here, otherwise how could he not be found?" Yan Guilai, dressed in green, sighed.
"Yes, even the Thousand Machine Yin refined by Elder Dugu was not found, which means that the Holy Son cannot be in Yandang City." Chu Ziyi also agreed with her point of view.
For a moment, several Jindan-level elders of Taiqing Palace looked at the Thousand Machine Yin on the table.
Above the round magic plate, a puff of smoke was slowly jumping, but it was always upwards without any deviation.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
If they can't find the Holy Son, their fate will not be much better. They will definitely be on the list of people sent to Jinghai City next time.
After a long time, a kind-looking old man spoke up, still insisting on his point of view:
"Everyone, the Holy Son was missing for only a quarter of an hour, and I immediately had people guard the four city gates. It is unlikely that he left Yandang City in such a short time. And everyone has looked at the image stone many times. Are there any monks who have come in and out for such a long time who are worthy of suspicion?"
No one said anything, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and depressing.
Only the small red clay teapot on the table was steaming.
Finally, a middle-aged man in green clothes and with a majestic appearance gently picked up the teapot and poured a cup of spiritual tea for everyone present.
"What Elder Ge said makes sense, and we have no other choice. If the Holy Son escaped from the Yandang Mountains, we can't catch up with him after such a long time. We can only look for him here."
"If we can't find him in ten days, we will teleport to all the big cities within 100,000 to 500,000 miles to look for him. If we still can't find him," the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "we can only go back and report to the sect master, and ask him to issue a Taiqing Order to announce to the world and seek the whereabouts of the Holy Son with a large sum of money."
Everyone nodded and drank tea silently.
"After drinking this cup of tea, brothers and sisters will look for him separately. Maybe the Holy Son is hiding in the cave of a cultivator in the city."
The middle-aged man looked at the smoke on the stone table without any deviation, and a trace of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
......
The weather was clear and cloudless.
Just after noon, Wu Lei, as usual, pushed a cart full of spiritual medicines under the escort of guards and walked towards the prison.
There were so many pedestrians along the way, all in a hurry, heading towards the North City.
Not only was the North City going to hold an auction today, but it would also clear several streets near the auction site for free stalls for casual cultivators. Under such circumstances, more than half of the people in Yandang City gathered in the North City.
However, although there were many people on the street, people still avoided the flag with the three characters of Wanbao Pavilion flying high.
This is a powerful dragon in Yandang City, and you can't afford to offend it.
"Tsk tsk, the auction once a quarter is attractive, and I have to escort this damn elixir." The guard cursed a few words and urged Wu Lei, who was pushing the cart.
"Cold-faced boy, push faster, I'm in a hurry to attend the auction."
Wu Lei responded in a muffled voice, and then he pushed the cart towards the prison quickly with more strength. He had been eager to get to the prison as soon as possible to rescue Raymond as soon as possible, and the guard's words just met his wishes.
A quarter of an hour later.
Wanbao Pavilion prison gate.
"Hey, why are you here so early today?"
The short and fat guard nodded to the escort, and was a little surprised to see the other party leave in a flash.
"You don't know this? Today is the day of the auction. This guy must be forcing the cold-faced boy to speed up." The tall and thin guard looked at the sweaty Wu Lei, and a trace of envy appeared in his mouth.
"Alas, guarding the prison is really not a job for humans. The daily practice is intermittent, and I am trapped here and can't move. It's so troublesome." The short and fat guard complained.
"Don't worry, it's time to change shifts in half a month. Just hold on for a few more days. Cold boy, do your own thing." The tall and thin monk comforted him. Seeing that Wu Lei was still standing here, he waved his hand to drive him away, and asked him to distribute the spiritual medicine and collect the pills made by the Dan slaves.
Wu Lei walked aside with an expressionless face and began to do the work he had done countless times.
He took out the list and showed it to the short and fat guard. Wu Lei began to distribute the spiritual medicine. His expression was natural and his movements were smooth. There were no problems.
After all the spiritual medicines were divided, the tall and thin guard called him over again and told him the rewards that would be given to all the Dan slaves who exceeded the task of refining the elixir.
Wu Lei listened quietly without any reaction. Then he pushed the cart towards Lane A. It was a short distance, but he felt it was as long as thousands of miles.
The footsteps exploded in his ears like thunder. He shook his head, threw away the strange emotions, and trembled slightly as he took out the jade card and opened the stone door of Jiayi.
Half an hour later, he walked to the door of Jiashiwu.
With a flash of white light, the stone door opened with a bang. Wu Lei picked up a large pile of spiritual medicines and walked quickly into the stone house.
