Chen Chen stayed in the city for a whole day.
One day later, Nan Pinghai delivered a storage ring to Chen Chen, with a look of distress on his face.
I gave a huge sum of money to the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect before, but it didn’t matter if I didn’t get the elixirs. Now I have bought all the elixirs circulating in the market on the islands of the Endless Sea.
These are all undertaken privately by him and several ship owners.
But they didn't dare to complain.
Chen Chen took the storage ring and took out all the elixirs in it. There were more than a thousand elixir bottles spread all over the floor.
These elixirs cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. The value of this elixir can be imagined.
"Sir, can you tell which pills come from the intercepted batch?"
Nan Pinghai seemed to understand Chen Chen's intention and asked in shock.
There were more than a thousand bottles of elixirs and more than ten types. He was a little dizzy just looking at them, let alone distinguishing them.
"Do you think we alchemists are all just doing it for free? These are the basics."
Chen Chen said lightly, while he smelled it carefully with his nose, and occasionally opened the elixir bottle to observe it, as if he was carefully identifying it.
"System, where is the elixir with the shortest refining time within a ten-meter radius?"
"Thirty centimeters to the left of the host."
After hearing this answer, Chen Chen took out the bottle of elixir identified by the system and put it aside.
Due to the war, all the elixirs in stock of the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect had already been sent to the battlefield, so the elixirs transported to the Endless Sea were all recently refined.
He is not afraid that there is not a new bottle of elixir among them.
Because before using the system, he had already taken out a Foundation Establishment Pill that he had refined half a month ago from the storage ring.
Therefore, as long as the system does not identify the foundation-building pill, it can be concluded that the pill was refined within half a month.
In this way, Chen Chen kept searching through the system, and it didn't take long before he found more than a dozen bottles of newly refined elixirs.
The bottles of these elixirs have already been labeled by Nanpinghai, indicating the source.
Chen Chen glanced at it and sneered: "There are only a dozen bottles of elixirs from four different islands. This is definitely not the work of an individual, but the work of a certain force. Only a group of people can do this in such a short period of time." Time has spread this batch of elixirs to such a large area.”
Nan Pinghai on the side was already in admiration.
What kind of skill is it to find the stolen elixir just by smelling it and looking at it
And this meticulous thought... He could only sigh to himself.
"Sir, could it be that there are elixirs in this that you personally refined?"
Nan Pinghai asked curiously.
Chen Chen put away the dozen pill bottles and said with a slight disdain: "These pills are not worth my while."
Hearing this, Nan Pinghai became more and more admired, and Chen Chen's image became taller and taller in his mind.
"Let's go to Liufeng Island first and see where this elixir store got the elixirs from."
Chen Chen ignored Nan Pinghai's admiring gaze and walked outside.
But when I thought about it again, I felt it was inappropriate.
"Nanpinghai, find more people. Let's go to these four islands at the same time."
"As you command!"
…
An hour later.
Chen Chen took people to Liufeng Island and found the elixir store.
Liufeng Island is just one of the islands in the Endless Sea. It is unremarkable. The strongest one on the island is the Nascent Soul Peak.
Moreover, there is only one elixir shop on the entire island, which belongs to the island owner who is at the peak level of Nascent Soul.
Seeing the menacing approach of Chen Chen and his group, the shop owner almost knelt down in fright.
Chen Chen walked into the elixir store and placed four bottles of elixirs on the counter with a stern expression.
"Tell me honestly the source of these four bottles of elixirs, and I won't embarrass you."
Chen Chen spoke with a sense of shock, and the shop owner was so frightened that he trembled and said hesitantly: "It was a casual cultivator who lives on Liufeng Island who sold it to me at a low price... I saw that the quality of the elixir was good, so I accepted it. … Sir, that matter really has nothing to do with me!”
At this point, the shopkeeper knelt down.
Obviously, he also knew about the interception and killing of the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect monks.
Chen Chen pulled him up and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense and take me to see that casual cultivator."
"Yes Yes!"
The shop owner quickly agreed, closed the shop door, and walked out of the back door with Chen Chen and others.
Not long after, we arrived in front of a seaside compound.
"My lord...he lives here."
Hearing this, Chen Chen probed out his spiritual consciousness and soon found four monks in the courtyard. The strongest one was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The others were all Qi-training monks. They seemed to be serving as maids or servants. A role like a disciple.
After confirming that the person was there, Chen Chen rushed in and directly captured the Nascent Soul cultivator.
After learning Chen Chen's identity, the Nascent Soul cultivator turned pale and his eyes were full of despair.
Chen Chen sneered when he saw this.
With his wisdom, what could happen in this world that could escape his investigation
hehe!
"Where did these four bottles of pills come from? If it has nothing to do with you, I can spare your life."
Looking at the Nascent Soul cultivator, Chen Chen's tone was quite dangerous.
Although he said so, this person obviously had a guilty conscience, otherwise he wouldn't look so ugly.
You must know that this is the Yuanying monk, not the weakling who owns the elixir store.
"Come... from..." The casual cultivator hesitated, his eyes a little wandering, and then a strong wave emanated from him, and he was about to self-destruct on the spot!
However, with Chen Chen present, he would naturally not be so happy.
A huge coercion erupted from Chen Chen's palm, immediately suppressing the fluctuation.
"Who gave you the elixir!"
Chen Chen's eyes became very sharp, and the concentration beads in his mind turned his head slightly, directly shocking the Nascent Soul cultivator whose eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.
"Yes...it's Captain Zhao of the Merchant Alliance!"
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Chen loosened his hands suddenly and let the Nascent Soul cultivator fall to the ground.
To be honest, this answer was completely beyond his expectation.
Before coming, his first suspicion was of course the mysterious force that was gradually disappearing, but now this casual cultivator said that it came from within the Merchant Alliance...
"I oversimplified things."
Chen Chen muttered to himself, then took out the summons token and contacted Nan Pinghai.
"How's it going over there?"
A moment later, Nan Pinghai's words of annoyance and self-blame came from the summons token.
"Sir, my subordinates are incompetent... On the three islands, when we found the source of the elixir, the monks had already been silenced."
Hearing this, Chen Chen glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivator who was lying motionless on the ground, and continued to ask: "Nan Pinghai, do other people in the business alliance know about my relationship with you
Or, does anyone know that I am the master behind the business alliance? "
"I don't know. People in the Endless Sea generally think that the person behind me is a transformed sea monster... I don't have much explanation for this.
I didn't say the same to other ship owners. "
"Then I came this time and you were so polite to me, and they didn't doubt it?" Chen Chen asked again.
"Sir, the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect is an existence that we in the Endless Sea cannot afford to offend. When the envoy comes, we cannot be too polite. They will not think too much about it.
Sir... Do you suspect that several other ships took the initiative
If this is really the case, I will forgive my blunt statement. Those ship owners are all old acquaintances of my subordinates. I can guarantee that they will never do such a thing. "
Chen Shen did not speak again, but silently put away the summons token.
The Liufeng Island he came to didn't encounter any killings, but the monks who sold elixirs on the other three islands under the responsibility of the Merchant Alliance were silenced.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
If it wasn't for the Merchant Alliance's attempt to hide it from him, there would be a traitor within the Merchant Alliance.
Of course, besides this, there seems to be another possibility.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator who was lying on the ground, still in a daze... There was some hesitation in his eyes.
After a long time, Chen Chen sighed.
Who would have thought that, in his opinion, a matter that could be easily solved would now become complicated and confusing.
It seems that the energy of the person behind this is much greater than he imagined.
