The villain is right beside me

The junior sister spit out a flame, the flame was bright red, and the whole room seemed to be shrouded in terrifying high temperature. It felt like you would be melted if you got any closer.

"All weapon refiners can gather spiritual energy to form true fire, but mine is not ordinary true fire. I rely on it to refine pills and weapons." The junior sister retracted the flame and looked at him proudly.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Then tell me, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Well, smart." The junior sister walked up to him and touched his head with an expression that showed that he was a teachable boy. Mu Qing was so scared that he quickly hid away.

"Since you can refine spirits, then, please help me refine a magic weapon."

Oh, so you want to refine a magic weapon...what?

Mu Qing suspected that he had heard correctly.

"Of course, but you have to wait until you have the ability to refine a magic weapon for me." said the junior sister.

Mu Qing suddenly realized: "It's a long-term investment."

“…That seems to be what you meant. However, in order to ensure that you can survive until that time, I will first strengthen your strength.” The junior sister put the twenty weapons into her bag.

Mu Qing: "Are you so sure that I have this potential? What if I fail halfway one day..."

The junior sister rolled her eyes at him and said, "So you must make sure you survive. Of course, your current strength is useless. I can't predict the future, but I think you can kill a few people and still come out alive and well, without being noticed by the monks in the Wheel Sea Realm..." She suddenly shut up, as if she had said too much.

Mu Qing was stunned and asked her, "How do you know I killed someone? Or was it Sanqing Dao..." He immediately shut up, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said.

The junior sister was stunned: "Did you really kill those disciples of the Three Pure Ones?"

Damn it, you are trying to trick me here!

The junior sister explained: "After a person has committed murder, his entire being will undergo a huge change. No matter how well you hide it, there are some things that cannot be covered up, such as... your personality changing."

Mu Qing was shocked. This could be seen? Why didn't he feel that?

The junior sister said, "Traitors will eventually experience killing, no matter how much you resisted. If you don't learn how to kill, others will come to kill you. I can see your determination and even a hint of coldness in your eyes, but you don't seem to be able to hide your murderous intent. When I came in, your whole body relaxed and your breathing was different, which shows that you were still tense before."

Mu Qing was stunned.

The young senior sister in front of her has never been naive. She is observant and speaks sophisticatedly, which is not what a girl of her age would have.

"No wonder, this is your first time killing someone, but you hid your emotions very well. Well, that's not right. The Three Pure Ones know a method called "Tianming Dafa", which they often use during interrogations. They use their spiritual thoughts to intimidate cultivators who are weaker than themselves, so that they can't help but speak the truth under mental pressure. You, who are in the Kaiqiao realm, will definitely not be able to withstand the spiritual pressure of a cultivator in the Lunhai realm." The junior sister looked at him with suspicion, and there was an involuntary scrutiny in her eyes.

Mu Qing felt goose bumps all over his body, as if he had been stripped naked and violated. He covered his chest and said in a filthy voice, "You bitch."

The junior sister couldn't help but raise her fist to hit him.

"Forget it, I don't want to know whether you are lucky or determined, or if you really have some secrets. I'll go back first and return the magic weapon to you after I refine it." The junior sister closed her eyes, with a bored expression, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Mu Qing threw a storage bag to her.

"What? I don't accept bribes." The little sister said, and her fingers moved quickly, grabbing it and stuffing it into her arms.

"I don't want to owe you a favor, so these are my rewards. Although they are worthless things, ineffective pills and damaged magic tools, since you can refine tools and pills, I'll give them to you for research. Maybe you can even perfect some powerful magic tools."

"…So you're treating me like a garbage dump!"

Although Junior Sister had a look of disgust on her face, the movements of her hands still betrayed her.

"What are you talking about. These pills are priceless. If you can research the recipe, will you still need pills in the future when you have the technology? If you can refine the magic weapon, it will be yours. I just want my set of sword weapons." Mu Qing knew nothing and treated refining pills and weapons as simple as eating and drinking.

Studying the recipe is a hundred times more difficult than refining the elixir! Countless elixirs are the result of the thoughts of various alchemists and their proud technical strength. Even if there are ready-made elixirs to deduce the recipe, how can they let others know the secret of their recipe?

Smart alchemists will add some small things to their works. These things will not affect the efficacy of the medicine, but they are trying to fight for the elixir and deduce the recipe. Haha... This group of people will never know how the previous alchemist came up with the recipe!

Many pill recipes in later generations have been modified by many alchemists today. For just one Zhutian Pill, there are eight different recipes circulating on the market!

It sounded as if the junior sister had gotten a great deal, but when she took them out, she found that the pills were so useless that they turned into slag with just a slight pinch.

Not long after the junior sister left, there was another knock on the door.

"What's the matter? Um..." Mu Qing's face froze. It was Lan Yue. He guessed that she would come, but he didn't expect her to come so soon.

Mu Qing suddenly understood what the junior sister said. It is indeed possible to see murderous intent in a person's eyes.

"Junior Sister Lan, you came to see me in the middle of the night, is there something wrong?" Mu Qing deliberately made the atmosphere so ambiguous.

Lan Yue said directly: "Give me my things. Forget about the other treasures you got, but you must return two items, the Heaven Building Pill and a sealed box! The box is the treasure of my family, or you can make a condition and exchange it for other treasures."

Mu Qing realized that the Zhutian Pill was not important to her. What was really important was the thing in the box. She came here just for this thing, and she was willing to give up other treasures.

If he didn't agree, Mu Qing didn't know what other background she had, but it was not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation to have people do something behind her back.

"Come in and talk." Mu Qing wanted to keep her hanging first and then figure out how to blackmail her.

Lan Yue was a little hesitant. Once she went in, she would really be alone in a room with a single man and a single woman... Moreover, she now had a psychological trauma, as if taking one step inside would be like falling into an abyss.

"Why, don't you want to ask for the treasure? You don't even dare to do this." Mu Qing said as he went to make tea.

Lan Yue's face was filled with shame and anger. She stepped into the house and Mu Qing had already brought her tea.

"Don't worry, there's no drug in it." Mu Qing took a sip first.

Even so, Lan Yue did not move the teacup at all and said, "It seems that Pastor Brother is really willing to let go."

Mu Qing said, "That depends on your sincerity..." He tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking, and said, "How about a magic weapon?"

Lan Yue's face turned black. You are asking for too much. Besides, even if I give you the magic weapon, you have to live to enjoy it.

Mu Qing said, "Why? It seems that the things in this box are not even as good as a magic weapon. Or are you simply unable to afford the price? Not necessarily."

Lan Yue's heart trembled. Could it be that he knew something? Although she would rather believe it than not. The murderous intent in her heart was gradually subsiding.

How could she know? After Lao Wang looked at the box, he said that the restrictions and talismans on it were so complicated that it was obvious that the person who could put a seal on it must be very powerful, at least stronger than the elders of Piao Miao Sect.

Mu Qing also realized that Lan Yue’s background might not be simple.

In this case, he didn't want to continue offending them. He was only in the small enlightenment stage now and was far from having the strength to negotiate with them.

Now, Mu Qing only has the leverage over Lan Yue.

Lan Yue said: "You want a magic weapon, but that's impossible. Let's change the conditions. With your current situation, you can exchange it for some elixirs that can increase your cultivation. And I seem to have heard that your talent is not that high."

Mu Qing glanced at her. There was something behind this sentence. She actually knew so much about it? This shows that she has investigated me and even has some threatening meaning.

"I'd like to know what your background is?" Mu Qing asked curiously.

“Is this a condition of the deal?”

"Since you dare to come and negotiate with me, you must have received instructions from someone. Hmm? The elders of your family? It seems that if I don't agree, maybe one day as soon as I leave the gate of Piao Miao Sect, you will put a knife to my head."

Lan Yue admired his honesty, but was also shocked that he had guessed so far. This sentence also stopped her from making any threats.

Mu Qing could choose to stay in Piao Miao Sect for ten or a hundred years. As long as Piao Miao Sect is not destroyed, they will be really helpless.

Lan Yue was a little impatient. She guessed that Mu Qing was definitely not an ordinary little fox. However, she didn't know that there was an older fox teaching him behind him.

Mu Qing smiled and said, "If Junior Sister Lan hasn't made up her mind yet, you can go back and discuss it. I'm always at your service." The implication was that if you are not sincere, then there is no need for us to engage in intrigue and we can go back now.

Lan Yue said helplessly: "Brother Pastor, how about we each take a step back?"

Mu Qing said: "Then I will change the condition... I want a pill that can repair the soul, and the quality must not be low."

Lan Yue was stunned. Although soul-repairing pills were rare, they were not unavailable. "But..."

"Prepare another 100,000 Yang Yuan Pills, gold element treasures, and then..."

"Stop, stop, stop, your conditions are even more excessive!"

"Then these three, 100,000 Yang Yuan Pills, the soul repairing pill, and the gold element treasure."

Although none of these are as valuable as the Dharma, but... they are indeed a bit too much to ask for.

Mu Qing added: "You only want the box, right? If you still want this Building Pill, you can exchange it for something else."

It was originally hers, but now she had to pay to redeem it... Lan Yue was so angry that her teeth itched and she slammed the table: "Send the things over another day!"

Mu Qing said: "Don't go back on your words."

Lan Yue staggered, snorted coldly, and quickly left this place of trouble.
