Chapter 16 Great Vajra Pill

Unnamed tavern.

     Hua Xinzi poured a glass of wine for Zhao Mu: "Have you heard? Envoys from the Beimang Kingdom came to the capital. They offered the Great Diamond Pill in exchange for the Jin Dynasty opening up the salt and iron trade with the Beimang Kingdom."

     "Of course I heard about it. After all, no matter where I go in the past two days, people are talking about this matter."

     Zhao Mu shook his head and looked at Hua Xinzi: "I'm wearing so much today, isn't it hot?"

     "Not serious."

     Hua Xinzi rolled her eyes at him: "Seriously, do you think the court will agree to Beimang's conditions?"

     Zhao Mu picked up the wine glass: "I definitely wouldn't agree before, but now... not necessarily!"

     "I think the court will definitely agree!"

     Jiang Hongyun said: "I heard that the Great Diamond Pill was refined by Beimang State with the whole country. When it was made thirty years ago, there were only three pills, and one was used by the high priest of the Totem Temple. pieces."

     "It is said that the Great Diamond Pill can not only improve martial arts cultivation, but more importantly, it can add twenty years to a person's life."

     A sneer appeared on her pretty face: "Our emperor has been praying for immortality all his life and got nothing. Now that his life is about to expire, someone has sent him a magic elixir that can extend his life. How could he not agree?"

     "If this is really the case, I am afraid that in more than ten years, the Beimang Kingdom will go south to plunder again, and the people will suffer again."

     Hua Xinzi sighed.

     Beimang Kingdom is a nomadic country bordering the northern part of the Jin Dynasty. It believes in the supremacy of force and its people are brave and fierce.

     The domestic monarch has no real power, and all state affairs are controlled by the totem temple, and the high priest of the temple is the supreme leader of Beimang Kingdom.

     In history, the Beimang Kingdom went south dozens of times and invaded the Jin Dynasty, burning, killing, and looting. Although they were all beaten back in the end, each time they caused countless casualties to the people of the Jin Dynasty.

     Therefore, in order to restrict the development of Beimang Kingdom, the Jin Dynasty has always banned salt and iron transactions with Beimang Kingdom.

     After all, as long as there is not enough salt and iron, Beimang Kingdom will not have a good source of troops and sufficient weapons, and the threat to the Jin Dynasty will naturally weaken.

     But once the salt and iron trade is opened, the strength of the Beimang Kingdom will definitely expand rapidly.

     Could it be that the "immortal" emperor could really do such a thing to benefit the enemy?

     In fact, the reason why a foolish king is a foolish king is because of his absolute selfishness.

     What national interest!

     What a stable country!

     What a matter of life and death for the common people!

     In their opinion, it is not the most important thing. As long as they can get benefits, they can really do anything.

     So not long after, the imperial court ordered the opening of the salt and iron trade with Beimang Kingdom.

     No matter whether the people cursed the foolish emperor or loyal ministers died in court to remonstrate, they could not change the will of the emperor.

     So the envoy from Beimang Kingdom left the Great Vajra Pill and left the capital happily.

     The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty ordered the whole country to celebrate, hoping that everyone in the world would celebrate that he could extend his life by twenty years.

     But it's a pity that the people can't be happy, and the loyal ministers can't be happy.

     Even those who are flattering are not very happy.

     Because the emperor's life has been extended for twenty years, the demand for immortality medicine is naturally not so urgent. How can a man who is in love with his superiors be promoted to an official position?

     So an undercurrent began to surge in the court, and someone began to secretly connect with those who were flattering, asking them to steal or even directly destroy the Great Vajra Pill.

     That night, Zhao Mu left Jiaofangsi and prepared to go to sleep in the nameless tavern.

     Walking on the dark streets, he spread out his sravaka Gu, alert to any possible dangers.

     This was a habit he had developed over the years by walking at night.

     Suddenly a few faint wisps of wind came, and Zhao Mu's footsteps stopped abruptly.

     He knew very well that it was not a normal wind sound, but caused by a master using light skills to cut through the air.

     "The energy of each of the four of them far exceeds mine. They should all be masters of the Houtian Realm. Wow, the capital has become increasingly chaotic recently."

     Zhao Mu squinted his eyes slightly, leaned against a dark corner, and observed the movements of the four people through the Sound Hearing Gu.

     Two hundred feet away, four figures quickly passed over the rooftops.

     Three of them were dressed in black and masked, and they were chasing an old eunuch.

     "Old bitch, you can't escape anymore, so you'd better be captured as soon as possible and hand over the Great Vajra Pill."

     A man in black shouted coldly.

     The old eunuch looked ugly: "Who are you, and how do you know that the Great Vajra Pill is in our family?"

     "You don't need to know this, but your master is really audacious. He actually dared to steal the King Kong Pill. If the emperor knew about it, even if he is the biological father and son, he would probably die without a burial place, right?"

     "Humph, what kind of master? Where did our master come from? Don't talk nonsense."

     The old eunuch said coldly.

     "Really? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, we know who your master is."

     The three men in black sneered.

     One of them sped up several times in vain and passed directly over his head to block the old eunuch.

     "What a handsome swallow. With such light skills, you should have been able to catch up with us long ago."

     "I can indeed catch up, but the place before was not very convenient, and now... you deserve to die!"

     Before he finished speaking, the three men in black launched a siege on the old eunuch.

     The four of them were all masters of the acquired extreme realm. With three against one, the old eunuch fell into a desperate situation with only a dozen moves.

     Seeing that he was about to be killed by the opponent, the old eunuch seemed to have bitten something in his mouth and suddenly sprayed out a large mouthful of blue mist.

     The three men in black were caught off guard and immediately inhaled blue mist into their mouths and noses.

     "poisonous?"

     The expressions of the three people changed greatly, and they immediately attacked with all their strength, beating the old eunuch until he spit out mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground with serious injuries.

     But they themselves could not hold on any longer, and fell to the ground one after another, their faces turning blue and gradually losing their breath.

     "Ahem!"

     The old eunuch was still vomiting blood and stood up tremblingly while holding on to the wall: "Fortunately, we prepared the poison in advance, otherwise our family would definitely die if three acquired extreme masters attacked us."

     He touched his chest and took a deep breath: "But fortunately, I finally survived. Now we must send the Great Vajra Pill to the Lord as soon as possible. There must be no delay...who is it?"

     He changed color in shock and turned around hastily.

     He saw a figure rushing over quickly, his palms like a dragon rising out of the sea, and slapped him hard on the chest.

     puff!

     The old eunuch spurted out another mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew out and hit the ground hard.

     His face was as white as paper, and he looked at his attacker in shock: "Who are you?"

     "Do you think I will tell you?"

     Zhao Mu covered his face with a black cloth and walked into the old eunuch step by step: "I didn't expect that if I went out for a spin, I would have a chance to get the Diamond Pill. Tsk, tsk, it seems that my luck has been really good recently."

     "Damn it, you dare to rob the Great Vajra Pill, aren't you afraid of the emperor punishing you?"

     The old eunuch looked ugly.

     "As long as I kill you, who will know what happened tonight?"

     As Zhao Mu spoke, his body shot out again and came to the old eunuch in an instant.

     "Hahaha, you fell into the trap!"

     The old eunuch laughed wildly, waved his hand, and another stream of dense blue mist was sprayed out, trying to poison Zhao Mu to death as well.

     But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Mu ignored the poison and went straight through the blue mist and slapped him on the head.

     boom!

     The old eunuch's skull cracked due to the shooting, and he died.

     "Haha, a mere poison wants to kill me. Do you think I have learned the "Medicine King's Codex" all these years in vain?"

     Zhao Mu sneered and took out a small black box from the old eunuch's arms. When he opened it, it was revealed to be the Great Vajra Pill.

     He took out the corpse powder he prepared and sprinkled it on the old eunuch and the three men in black.

     The stench filled the streets, and the four corpses were quickly riddled with holes.

     It was only then that Zhao Mu left quietly.

     No one knew that the Great Vajra Pill had fallen into his hands.
