Chapter 41

No room left

Author: Taxue Zhenren

No room left

"One hundred and ten Gu Yuan Pills, ninety White Dew Pills, sixty Qi Restoring Pills..."

Zhu Hongan was sitting behind the counter, calculating his income from selling medicine today.

Because his face was a little ugly, the four clerks in the shop all lowered their heads while working, and no one dared to look at Zhu Hongan.

"What the hell, it's getting less and less." Zhu Hongan suddenly slapped the counter and cursed.

Pegasus is so big, and the casual cultivators are all poor. With the sales of Lujiaosan and Tiangui Pill, they will naturally reduce their expenses in other areas. Not only pills, but other businesses will inevitably be affected. Only the drug store is affected.

has the greatest impact.

Zhu Hongan turned to look at Yang An who was smiling apologetically beside him, "Why are you laughing!"

Yang An had small eyes, a flat nose, and dark spots all over his face. He was thin and wearing a black monk's robe. He looked like a big mouse when he stood with his waist hunched over.

Even though Zhu Hong'an was scolding him, Yang An still laughed along with him, with a humble and flattering look on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Shopkeeper, all the spiritual stones are in Gao Xian's. His spiritual stones are just your money."

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Hongan liked hearing this, and he couldn't help but feel very good.

It turned out that Zhou Ye secretly sold deer antlers powder, which didn't have much impact on him. The teacher behind Zhou Ye was the elder of Chuan Gong, so it was hard to offend him. The key was that he went to Zhou Ye, who was very nice and only said he would try selling it for a few months.

.If business is good, I will cooperate with him then.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but when Huang Ying came out to buy Tiangui Pills, he knew something was wrong. After some investigation, it turned out that Gao Xian was the one behind the scenes! After learning about this, he was not angry but happy.

As long as Gao Xian is in his hand, all the money belongs to him. Moreover, Gao Xian can only make elixirs for him in the future.

Lujiao San and Tiangui Dan will become his cash cow. As for Zhou Ye and Huang Ying, without Gao Xian providing elixirs, they are nothing.

Zhu Hongan patted Yang An on the shoulder and praised: "Thank you for finding out the situation. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

As for not treating him unfairly, Zhu Hongan felt that giving him a few words of praise was pretty good.

Yang An nodded happily: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."

As soon as Yang An looked up, he saw Zhu Qiniang coming in from the back door, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little dryer.

Yang An was a little afraid of Zhu Qiniang, who looked cold all day long. He knew very well that Zhu Qiniang was the number one thug of Changsheng Hall, with a cold personality and ruthless attacks.

What's even more frightening is that he never understands this woman's thoughts.

He has always stayed away from this woman.

"Mrs. Boss, you're back." Yang An hurriedly greeted him respectfully, and at the same time reminded Zhu Hongan.

Zhu Hongan closed the account book, turned around and looked at Zhu Qiniang, "Did someone bring it back?"

"Um."

Zhu Qiniang responded: "In the backyard."

"This kid is timid. If you let him go for a while, he will become afraid."

Zhu Hongan said with a smile: "Let's go and deal with him after we have eaten and drank enough."

Yang An reminded in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, don't let him get away."

"He didn't dare."

Zhu Hongan sneered: "Such a small Pegasus, where can he run? If he dares to run around, his master Xu Mingyuan can kill him without me taking action!"

He took out a spiritual stone from his sleeve and threw it to Yang An: "Go to Lao Li Liquor Shop to buy some good food. Today is a good day, so I have to drink a little..."

By the time Yang An bought the food and wine, it was already completely dark.

Yang An sat at the bottom, drinking with Shopkeeper Zhu and his wife. He didn't dare to eat, so he poured wine for Shopkeeper Zhu diligently and chatted with them.

Zhu Qiniang ate a lot but didn't drink any alcohol. After she was full, she left first.

After Zhu Qiniang left, Yang An relaxed. He drank a few glasses of wine with Zhu Hongan, and he felt a little intoxicated. He and Zhu Hongan discussed the beauties in the flying garden.

Speaking of those enchanting slender waists and long legs, Zhu Hongan also became excited, "I asked Gao Xian to sign a death contract today, and I will take you to Feihuayuan to have fun. Yun'er, Feng'er, that skill is really amazing..."

The two old men became more and more excited as they talked, and they were already thinking about how to have a romantic and happy time.

After drinking until half a month into the sky, Zhu Hongan took Yang An to the backyard room.

In mid-September, the weather has turned cold.

The wing room was originally used for storing sundries, but it did not face the sun, and the window paper was torn. When the night wind blew, the room became even colder.

The light from the oil lamp swayed gently in the night wind, and the light flickered on and off. Sitting at the back of the table, Gao Xian's face looked neither yin nor yang under the bright and dim lights, and there was something indescribably strange about his calmness.

Zhu Hong'an was a little surprised. In his impression, Gao Xian had always been very timid and would be at a loss after being frightened a few times.

How could this be so peaceful?

He turned around and was a little unhappy. Did this kid really think he didn't dare to take action?

Zhu Hongan walked over with a sullen face and slammed the table, shouting: "Gao Xian!"

As a practitioner at the eighth level of Qi training, Zhu Hongan's voice was full of energy and his voice was high-pitched.

Gao Xian, however, acted unusually calm. He sat still without any frightened expression on his face.

He looked up at Zhu Hongan and asked calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhu, what do you want to do by arresting me?"

"You still have the nerve to say it!"

Zhu Hongan was still a bit pretentious at first, but now he was really angry.

Seeing him coming, Gao Xian still dared to sit down and asked him why!

"Let me ask you, did you refine Huang Ying's Tiangui Pill and Zhou Ye's Lujiao Powder?"

Gao Xian nodded: "I refined it."

He then asked, "What's the problem?"

"You have the nerve to ask!"

Zhu Hongan got excited and pointed at Gao Xian and yelled, "The medicinal materials are mine, the alchemy furnace is mine, but you secretly make alchemy and sell it. Is this how your master taught you?"

"In the entire Pegasus Collection, I am the only one who can sell elixirs. This is a rule set by the sect!

"You are stealing and betraying me. If I send you back to the Lianyun Sect's Discipline Hall, you will definitely die."

Zhu Hongan's tone slowed down a bit when he said this, "For the sake of your master, and because you are young, ignorant and a first-time offender, I will give you a chance."

Gao Xian's mood was also a bit complicated. He never knew that Changsheng Hall had the power to sell elixirs. Qiniang didn't even mention such an important matter...

The problem is that he has no choice. Zhu Hongan is too greedy and difficult to cooperate. Lujiaosan and Tianguidan are related to the aura of humanity and must be sold in large quantities.

He recalled that Qiniang had asked him, what if Zhu Hongan did not allow him to sell pills? It turned out that he had warned him a long time ago...

Gao Xian sighed softly, "Please tell me shopkeeper Zhu clearly."

Zhu Hongan was about to say something, but found that Gao Xian had been sitting there. He went over and grabbed Gao Xian's collar and lifted him up, "Young man, you dare to sit in front of me. Who are you?"

Gao Xian did not resist. He comforted the other party softly: "Shopkeeper Zhu, don't get excited. If you have anything to say, speak slowly."

Yang An looked on and felt that Gao Xian was a little too calm. Although he had never dealt with Gao Xian, he felt that something was wrong.

He suddenly felt someone coming in and turned his head to look, but it was Zhu Qiniang.

Zhu Qiniang was a full head taller than him. She stood quietly at the door, silent, but naturally showing a strong aura.

Yang An hurriedly nodded to Zhu Qiniang and smiled, then took two steps and hid to one side.

Letting Zhu Qiniang stand behind him was not only rude, but also insecure.

Zhu Hongan was grabbing Gao Xian and spraying him wildly. He was spitting foam and flying stars, and Gao Xian had a look of helplessness on his face.

This middle-aged man didn't take good care of his oral cavity, and he had just drank alcohol, so his mouth smelled terrible.

Zhu Hong'an thought Gao Xian was scared, and he felt a little proud. This boy was quite good at pretending, but in his hands, all these little tricks were useless.

He took out a contract from his sleeve and slapped it on the table, "If you sign this contract, I won't care about the past with you."

Gao Xian took the contract and read it over. The content was very simple, that is, Changshengtang signed a hundred-year contract with him. Within a hundred years, every pill he refined would belong to Changshengtang.

Once the contract is violated, Changshengtang has the right to deal with him at will.

As for treatment and remuneration, not a word is mentioned.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, this contract is too long, and it doesn't say how to share the benefits of refining the elixir..."

Gao Xian shook his head. The contract conditions were too harsh. If he really signed it, he would become a slave of Changsheng Hall.

Zhu Qiniang really didn’t lie to him!

He actually didn't fully believe Qiniang's words. The main reason was that Qiniang obviously had deep ill intentions towards Shopkeeper Zhu.

Now it seems that Zhu Hongan is really greedy and cruel, and he doesn't leave any room for others.

Zhu Hongan grabbed Gao Xian's collar and lifted him over. The two looked at each other face to face, and there was a fierce light in Zhu Hongan's little eyes.

He sneered solemnly: "You secretly used my medicinal materials and alchemy furnace to earn so many spiritual stones. You really thought I was running a charity!"

"Today you can either sign a contract or die. Make your choice!"

Gao Xian sighed again. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Qiniang who was standing at the door. Zhu Qiniang pursed her lips slightly, with a cold expression and a murderous look in her eyes.

Zhu Qiniang noticed Gao Xian's gaze and nodded slightly to Gao Xian.

Zhu Hongan turned his back to Zhu Qiniang and could not see Zhu Qiniang's movements.

Yang An on the side saw the interaction between Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian, and he was full of surprise and anxiety: "What are Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang doing? Something seems wrong..."
