The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Half an hour later, Tang Rao removed his hands from the Pill Furnace with a shocked expression on his face.

There were actually forbidden seals!

In other words, as of now, he was completely unable to fully understand this Pill Furnace before his eyes.

"The Soul Power I can use is still too weak," Tang Rao muttered to himself. His soul was originally extremely ferocious, but now, he could only use a tiny bit of it.

"But fortunately, I was able to unlock the outermost first layer of the seal, which can be used to concoct Spiritual Medicine," Tang Rao exhaled a breath of relief.

This giant Pill Furnace was truly mysterious. According to the feedback from the furnace, unlocking the first layer of seals allowed him to concoct first-level Spiritual Medicine.

Yet, there were as many as twelve seals on the Pill Furnace.

Could it be that unlocking all twelve seals would allow the concoction of twelve-level Spiritual Medicine?

But as far as Tang Rao knew, the highest level of Spiritual Medicine was only ninth-level.

Ninth-level Spiritual Medicine was already considered the peak, so it was impossible for there to be as many as twelve levels.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it. This Blue Star itself is very strange," Tang Rao mumbled, and then he walked directly to the room next to him.

He moved out the things he got from Guan Zhendong.

With a Pill Furnace and Dan Fire, he could now start concocting Spiritual Medicine.

However, he could only concoct first-level Spiritual Medicine.

Of course, Tang Rao couldn't concoct second-level Spiritual Medicine either. The second-level required a lot of Spiritual Energy, and he currently couldn't bear such consumption.

Since there were barely any people at home and Tang Rao had locked the back courtyard door, there was no one to disturb him.

Tang Rao spent a full four hours in the back courtyard.

Within these four hours, Tang Rao concocted everything that could be concocted.

There were various types of Spiritual Medicine with different uses; some replenished Spiritual Energy, some treated external injuries, and there were also Poison, aphrodisiacs, and such. Tang Rao always believed that it was right to be well-prepared.

"Boom boom boom!" Just as Tang Rao had finished packing up, someone knocked loudly on the back courtyard door.

"Retrieve!" Tang Rao formed a hand seal and withdrew the Dan Fire into the Pill Furnace.

To strengthen the Dan Fire, apart from the nurture of time, continuously using it for concocting medicine was another way to grow.

After four hours of concocting medicine, this little cluster of Dan Fire had grown a bit.

"Who is it?" Tang Rao called out with a brisk tone, his voice jovial.

Most of the Spiritual Medicine concocted in the afternoon were first-level Qi Replenishing Pills. Each of these could provide about one hundred thousand units of Spiritual Energy. Together with the two hundred Blood Spirit Pills obtained from the Special Ninth Department, that totaled up to three million units of Spiritual Energy.

Tang Rao felt that if three million units of Spiritual Energy couldn't help him reach the later stage of Qi Gathering, then he might as well just die and be reincarnated promptly.

"Tang Rao, open the door! What are you hiding in there for? Playing with women?" A crisp voice sounded from outside the door.

Shangguan Ling...

Tang Rao felt a bit helpless; he had no idea who brought Shangguan Ling up, her personality was so explosive.

With a whoosh, Tang Rao opened the back courtyard door.

Shangguan Ling stood with her head raised, scrutinizing Tang Rao with a judgmental gaze.

"Is there something you need?" Tang Rao asked.

"Someone is looking for you," Shangguan Ling waved her hand dismissively, and then sniffed, "Tang Rao, there's a strange smell here. Oh my God, it must be the lingering scent of some wild woman! Tang Rao, let me tell you, you can only mess around with my little mom!"

Tang Rao: "..."

When Tang Rao arrived in the living room, a woman wearing a silver mask stood upright.

"Eh, Qing Chuan? What brings you here?" Tang Rao asked in surprise.

"It's been almost fifteen days," Qing Chuan said coldly. Previously, to control her, Tang Rao had fed her some unknown medicine, saying that she needed to take an antidote every fifteen days, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

These days, she's been on edge every moment, like walking on thin ice.

Finally, the fifteenth day arrived, but Tang Rao actually asked her what she was doing here?

"Oh my, you're talking about the medicine? Good heavens, I almost forgot." Tang Rao waved his hand, then took out a bottle from his embrace.

Carefully pouring a medicine pill from the bottle, he handed it to Qing Chuan.

"Eat this," Tang Rao said with a nonchalant tone.

Without any further words, Qing Chuan tipped her head back and swallowed the medicine pill in her hand.

Tang Rao just stared at Qing Chuan for a minute.

"What are you staring at me for?" Qing Chuan was a bit perplexed by Tang Rao's gaze.

"It actually succeeded..." Tang Rao muttered to himself at this moment.

Under the mask, Qing Chuan's entire face turned dark.

What do you mean it actually succeeded? What on earth did you feed me, Tang Rao? Are you using me as a guinea pig for your experiments?

Qing Chuan isn't stupid; otherwise, she couldn't possibly be the in-charge person of the Dark Net in Sui City.

The underlying implications of Tang Rao's words, she could not fail to guess.

"Tang Rao, what exactly did you make me eat? Are you testing drugs on me?" Qing Chuan's aura grew denser with anger.

"Oh, you noticed? Well, the thing I just had you take is indeed something new, something I fiddled and came up with," Tang Rao said, waving his hand generously.

"You!!" Qing Chuan pointed at Tang Rao, furious.

"You can choose not to take it in the future, I won't stop you. But speaking of which, you Dark Net people are all so gutsy, guessing you're not afraid to die. I truly admire you guys." Tang Rao gave Qing Chuan a thumbs-up.

The meaning was clear: either take it or die.

Qing Chuan took a deep breath; she originally thought Tang Rao would treat her more favorably due to her looks, but reality was completely different from what she had imagined.

Tang Rao showed her no mercy.

This goddamn insensitive brute!

"By the way, how is the investigation I asked you to do going?" Tang Rao grabbed an apple and started crunching on it.

"Can't find anything," Qing Chuan turned her head, her voice cold.

"Is that so, then you're not much use to me. Since that's the case, you might as well fend for yourself. Speaking of which, antidotes are quite hard to make," Tang Rao said, chewing on the apple.

Qing Chuan: "..."

"Bang!" Qing Chuan slammed a folder on the table, shaking with anger.

"See for yourself." Qing Chuan was collapsing inside; what sin had she committed to meet someone like Tang Rao.

Tang Rao leisurely picked up the folder and flipped it open.

"Oh, so that's what it is. Not a bad investigation, Xiao Qingchuan has potential," Tang Rao said with a smile, closing the folder two minutes later.

Qing Chuan had absolutely no desire to talk with Tang Rao.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. Look forward to seeing you again in fifteen days," Tang Rao said to Qing Chuan.

Qing Chuan: "..."

That's it, I'm dismissed? Do you have any idea how much time and resources I spent on this investigation!

"Tang Rao, what do you really want, to let me go?" Qing Chuan glared at Tang Rao, barely able to take it anymore.

Tang Rao stroked his chin, his gaze slightly focused.

"Hmm, actually, it's not impossible," Tang Rao said.

"What?" Qing Chuan immediately asked.

"Either I die, or you die," Tang Rao stated ten words.
