If you are lucky enough to be reborn, develop first and then take revenge.

The Cao family sent a convoy to purchase medicinal materials and investigate their own affairs, but the mercenaries on duty informed Xiao Muyu on the same day. Xiao Muyu sent two more people to follow the Cao family's team on their way back to the city. Once they found out that the other party was about to return to the city, they would immediately inform them.

Shui Yuehua has not been idle these two days. After getting to know Li Boyan, the young master of the Li family, he proposed to deal with Cao Xueqian. Li Boyan was originally unwilling to cause trouble, but when he heard that the target was Cao Xueqian, he immediately agreed. It's just that he asked to be more concealed and not to reveal his identity.

Shui Yuehua's strategy is very simple, to poach people. The Cao family relies on those alchemists and elixirs for survival. Without alchemists, they are nothing. Xiao Muyu's method was to make them unable to keep up with the elixirs. Without the elixirs, it would be useless even if they had an alchemist. Shui Yuehua wanted to poach all the alchemists, and even if they couldn't get them, they would destroy them.

So she went to Yaowang Pavilion to buy medicine, which was familiar to her once and twice. After several times, she used the excuse that the medicine was very useful and wanted to meet the alchemist. Because I was very happy to get along with the staff at Yaowang Tower, the staff agreed to pass on the message to the alchemist. There happened to be an alchemist taking a rest, so he agreed to meet. Shui Yuehua successfully met the alchemist.

The staff excused themselves and let them chat by themselves.

"The alchemist is here, please bow to me."

The alchemist was almost middle-aged and quickly stood up to help Shui Yuehua.

"You, an expert in forming pills, salute the foundation, which really offends me."

Shui Yuehua chuckled and said: "It's amazing. You can see through my cultivation level at a glance. How can you make elixirs for others in this small Wenshan City?"

"If you want to pursue a higher realm, you need materials. If you are from a bad background, you can only make money by relying on crafts."

"You are an alchemist. Wouldn't it be better to make your own elixirs and sell them to other people with magical powers?"

"That's what the rich do. We poor people like us can't even get together the medicinal materials, so how can we sell elixirs. Furthermore, a foundation-building alchemist is not famous enough for people to come to ask for elixirs. If you don't do business with a big power, How do you say you survive?”

"Haha, that's it. Now that you are also a person who has perfected the foundation, you must have accumulated a lot of wealth. Isn't it enough for you to form a pill?"

The alchemist gently stroked his beard and said, "It's coming soon, it's coming soon. It will be enough in a few years."

Shui Yuehua asked: "How about we do business?"

The alchemist asked curiously: "I don't know how to do business. If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

"I want to ask you to be my personal alchemist, just to make alchemy for me. I can give you double the reward!"

The alchemist was a little unbelievable. Double reward? ! He didn't believe his ears and was stunned.

"Then the Cao family treats me well. I'm enjoying my stay here very well."

"It's good? Don't you know how bad the reputation of the Cao family is? Sooner or later, if you stay in the Cao family, you will be implicated. Their little boat will capsize sooner or later. It's better for you and me to change to a bigger boat sooner."

The alchemist thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. The Cao family has been quite arrogant recently and will provoke many unnecessary enemies. But I have a request. Pay the money first and sign the agreement later."

"Okay! If you can help me bring more alchemists out, I can give you a third-level alchemy prescription."

"really?"

"If you bring out ten people, I will give you a prescription. They can work with me, and the reward will be the same as you, double."

"Then it's settled. I'll give you a summons when the matter is done." The two signed the agreement, leaving the messenger behind and said goodbye in a hurry. A second-level alchemy master's daily reward is about one-tenth of the profit from making elixirs. Those with a high elixir success rate can only take one second-level elixir a day. The market price is 500 low-grade spiritual stones. If it is a special elixir, it may be more expensive. Fifteen thousand low-grade spiritual stones a month, double reward is thirty thousand. Sure enough, tutors are still very profitable.

About five days later, Xiao Muyu got the news. The convoy of the Cao family purchasing medicinal materials is on its way back. The strength of the escort team has also been found out. In addition to the guard captain who has completed the foundation building, there are also three masters who are in the late stage of foundation building. The remaining personnel include eight foundation builders and twenty late-stage Qi refining people.

Xiao Muyu called the two mercenaries who were on sentry duty, and after questioning them carefully, they left in a hurry.

The escort escorted ten carriages. There are too many low-level medicinal materials, and the personal storage space is basically about one square meter, which is really hard to fit. So a carriage is needed. They are all very familiar with this road, after all, they have traveled a lot.

Wenshan City was still fifty miles away, and they wanted to rush back and rest again. Suddenly, the carriage ahead stopped.

"Who are you? Why did you stop our convoy!"

At this time, Xiao Muyu had finished her disguise and was standing in the middle of the road holding a big knife.

"I built this mountain and planted this road. If you want to pass by this way, I will leave money to buy the road."

It was also the first time that the escort met the robbers outside the city. It's so close to Wenshan City, but he doesn't even know the Cao family's motorcade!

"We are the Cao family's team in Wenshan City. Please be accommodating, fellow Taoist."

"There is no need to accommodate me. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I still have to pay for the toll!"

The guard captain didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked: "I wonder how to collect tolls?"

"In the Qi refining stage, one person has one hundred thousand, and in the foundation building stage, one person has one million. You do the math yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the guard captain knew that the other party was playing tricks on him and shouted: "Do it!"

All the guards moved upon hearing the sound. They cooperated tacitly and quickly surrounded him. Xiao Muyu was not polite, and kept pumping out her fists, sending countless fireballs flying towards everyone. They didn't want the goods to be burned, so they tried their best to resist Xiao Muyu's fireballs.

Although they tried their best to suppress their cultivation, the rich quality of vitality was not something that these Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks could compete with. After several rounds, each of the escorts was injured. Only the guard captain persisted.

The guard captain also knew that he was in trouble this time because the opponent was stronger than him. Although he tried his best to attack, the opponent seemed to have no need for energy, and the strategy of attacking while he was out of strength was completely unworkable.

Xiao Muyu activated the mist, and before the guard captain could react, she came to his side and knocked him out. All the storage spaces on the body were opened and the goods were poured out. The materials used in the storage space are all second-grade and are of higher value.

Xiao Muyu put the first-order and second-order materials into the Crystal Palace, and then destroyed the carriage. As for the people in the escort team, they were injured and couldn't get out of bed for ten and a half days. Xiao Muyu ignored them and went straight back to the mercenary camp.

When the guard captain woke up, he felt like crying. Of the entire team, he was the only one who was still intact. After bringing everyone back to Cao's house, they were inevitably scolded and punished! Cao Yuanliang also knew that someone was deliberately targeting him, so he did not punish the escort too much.

What he is anxious about now is sending people to purchase medicinal materials. Yaowang Tower no longer has any medicinal materials in stock. From tomorrow on, it can only sell the old elixirs, while the alchemist needs to take a good rest.

The people sent out to investigate responded that the Li family had taken no action. It seems like someone else is targeting the Cao family!

Cao Yuanliang felt dizzy for a while. He decided to go out in person and take the disciples of the Cao family to purchase medicinal materials. Presumably with his Jiedan here, there will be no more problems.
