How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

The waiter quickly tried to explain, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Actually, with your great supernatural powers, sir, you could easily break open the furnace by force and escape from inside!"

"Oh, do you think I haven't thought about it?"

Hei Yang pointed to the alchemy furnace and said calmly, "But when I think about the amount of compensation I might have to pay, I don't dare to move!"

"Ah this..."

Faced with this unexpected yet reasonable answer, the waiter suddenly felt that the distance between himself and the high and mighty monk had suddenly shortened!

Because they have one thing in common: they are poor!

What's with this feeling of both pride and sorrow...?

"Forget it."

Hei Yang sighed, looked at the waiter, and couldn't help but ask, "Five hours should have been over by now, why are you only arriving now!"

Tell me, were you slacking off at work?!

"Oh, well, it's like this, we've reserved half an hour for each customer..."

Sweat dripped from the waiter's forehead as he explained, "So, in addition to the five low-grade spirit stones you already paid, you also need to pay extra for this half hour..."

"Ah, half a low-grade spirit stone, is that right..."

Hei Yang sighed, took out a low-grade spirit stone, and wondered where it would be most appropriate to cut it in half...

"Um, you can just give me all of them."

The waiter whispered, "No need to separate them."

"what?"

Hei Yang's eyes widened: "You little brat, you want to take a kickback?!"

"Ah, no, no, it's like this..."

The waiter quickly explained, "Because the extra time is charged at double the rate, it's written in our posted rules. It's definitely not something I did on my own!"

"..."

Hei Yang blinked, his expression subtle: "So, I spent an extra spirit stone not to refine pills, but to experience half an hour more of life in the pill furnace? Am I crazy?!"

"Ah this..."

The waiter whispered in protest, "Well, it wasn't us who shoved you in there..."

Hei Yang: "..."

"That makes sense, it's my problem."

Hei Yang looked sad as he handed over the spirit stones in his hand along with three more: "Here, this is the overtime fee, and I'll extend it for another three hours. Some pills haven't been processed yet..."

"Okay, I'll register you right away!"

The waiter quickly completed the registration, and the light in front of the alchemy room changed from red to green again.

"Well, I won't take up any more of your time, you go ahead with your work!"

The waiter quickly withdrew, saying, "You can call me anytime if you need anything!"

"Okay, I know. You go ahead and get busy."

"Um, please don't jump in anymore. Of course, I'm just suggesting it, if you like..."

"Climb! That's what you like!"

Hei Yang spat out the words through gritted teeth: "Get out of here, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing you!"

Chapter 69: The classic villain who hides in a dark room, secretly plotting and occasionally letting out a sinister laugh of unknown meaning.

"call---"

Hei Yang closed the door to the alchemy room again, his face expressionless as he looked at the furnace and herbs. He still needed to refine some Qi-Nourishing Pills, yellow-grade pills, white in quality.

Simply put, it's a small experience pill, but you definitely need to fully digest the medicinal power before it can add experience to your experience bar, which I won't go into too much detail about.

Hei Yang didn't care whether he used the Qi-Nourishing Pills he was about to refine; he mainly wanted to sell them.

A single ordinary Qi-Nourishing Pill costs five low-grade spirit stones, while the cost is only some herbs that can be bought with gold and silver in the mortal world. It's an outrageous profit!

In response, Hei Yang could only sigh that having technology really ensures you'll never go hungry, and that the imbalance between market supply and demand is terrifying. Fortunately, he is a beneficiary!

There's no need to worry about alchemy; Hei Yang can guarantee that. However, we'll need to put some thought into the sales afterward.

There are roughly two ways. One is to sell it through the Hei family's existing connections, but Hei Yang still has doubts about those connections.

Another simple way is to sell it directly to the pharmacist's workshop at the official buyback price. It will be lower than the market price, but it is safer and more convenient.

Moreover, ignoring the awful furnace lid design, Hei Yang felt that the service at the Pharmacist's Shop was indeed quite good and very humane!

Furthermore, it's said that the Medicine Master's Workshop is backed by the Medicine King Sect, so it's unlikely that any prestigious sect would try anything funny with it. It's a green and safe recycling organization.

"But then again..."

Hei Yang muttered under his breath, "If Hong Li finds out that I locked myself in the furnace and can't get out, she'll laugh at me until this time next year!"

So, absolutely, absolutely, we can't let her know about this!

Fortunately, I preemptively berated her, disrupting her rhythm, otherwise I would definitely have been interrogated about how she managed to level up so quickly!

"Ha, as expected of me, Black Sun, you're really clever!"

……

Inside the magnificent house, a sandalwood table was laden with various seafood and delicacies, and two people sat facing each other.

One of the men, who appeared to be middle-aged, was imposing and handsome, exuding an aura of authority in every move he made.

The other one was a fat man with a weasel-like face, wearing a ridiculously thick robe, and with an arrogant expression on his face.

Yet these two people, whose temperaments are worlds apart, sat together, and the fat man was subtly the leader. If others had seen this, they would probably have cried out in surprise.

The reason is simple: the middle-aged man was Zheng Dexin, the fifth son of the current emperor of Qiankun Kingdom. For a member of the royal family to lower himself like this would surely cause a lot of gossip.

"This cup is for the Taoist priest."

The Fifth Prince smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you for your support over the years, Master Shenji and all the seniors. You have made clear arrangements for my good brothers. Now that I am fully grown and deeply loved by my father, the throne seems to be within my grasp!"

"Fifth Prince, you must not be careless. Remember, the last leg of a journey is the hardest. The closer you get to the crucial moment, the less you can afford to relax!"

Although the so-called Master Shenji spoke modestly, his face was full of pride: "A few years ago, when my senior brothers worked together to calculate the location of that ominous place, and the prince spread the word through the merchant caravan, clipping the wings of all the princes, the outcome was already decided."

Therefore, Your Highness need not be impatient. Continuing to bide your time and secretly accumulate strength is the right path.

"The Taoist priest is right."

The Fifth Prince smiled obediently: "However, that time, I also sent quite a few of my trusted subordinates to their deaths, which really made me feel bad for a while."

"Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Aren't they the kind of people who should risk their lives for the prince?"

Master Shenji chuckled and said, "Moreover, with the assistance of all my fellow disciples from the Calculation Heaven Sect, does the Fifth Prince really need to care about those ordinary mortals?"

"Indeed, every time I think of the extraordinary and unpredictable methods of the Noble Immortal Sect, I am truly terrified."

The Fifth Prince said sincerely, "You should know that among the experts recruited by my brothers, there are also cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. My third brother even got lucky and had the support of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."

But with everyone's methods, let alone those Qi Refining stage cultivators, even those so-called Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were dealt with without making a fuss!

"It is human nature to be blinded by greed and driven by lust."

Master Shenji revealed a disdainful sneer: "Back then, those great immortal sects, with their slogans of acting on behalf of Heaven, severely damaged my Suantian Sect."

In my opinion, they were merely coveting my sect's unparalleled divination skills, which is why they committed such a bandit-like act—truly despicable!

"The Taoist priest is absolutely right. I have the utmost contempt for those guys who spout empty words of benevolence and morality!"

The Fifth Prince flattered, "If your sect hadn't suffered such a calamity back then, it would surely be the number one sect in the cultivation world by now!"

"We've gone too far. There are still three great holy sites above us."

Master Shenji smiled broadly: "It's just about becoming a new holy land, ranking alongside the other three holy lands."

"You're too modest, Daoist Master!"

"Your Highness is too kind!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a villainous laugh.

After laughing for a while, and getting tired of laughing, Master Shenji suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, what about that guy from the Hei family? How's it going? Did you take care of him?"

"This……"

The Fifth Prince's expression suddenly darkened. Originally, it was intended to target the other princes, but he couldn't appear too deliberate, so he ended up tricking quite a few unlucky souls into dying together, including the Hei family.

It wasn't a big deal originally; they just killed themselves because of their own greed. Once he wipes out that caravan, no one can trace it back to him, the Fifth Prince, since he also lost quite a few of his capable subordinates!

But the mistake was that, for some reason, a member of the Hei family named Hei Chen survived!

Although I heard that the person is mentally impaired, he is still a potential threat to me. If the other person were to regain consciousness one day and reveal what he saw and heard inside, it would be a huge disadvantage for me!
