I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Yuan Feng gritted his teeth and said with a bit of embarrassment:

"Dude, your liking for a fox demon is a bit against good morals, but there's no need to throw you in jail, right? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"No misunderstanding." Feng Shaotian shook his head seriously. "I was arrested because when I was eating at a restaurant, the food was served slowly, and I got angry and beat the restaurant owner to death."

Oh my god... Yuan Feng’s three views were completely shattered.

It turns out that this guy is not King Zhou, but Cao Shaolin who doesn't eat beef.

One should stay away from people like this. Yuan Feng doesn't want to be beaten to death for no reason.

Feng Shaotian obviously noticed Yuan Feng's nervousness and said with a laugh:

"Brother, don't be afraid. I have my reasons for killing people. I am not the type to kill people randomly. Look, from the time you came in until now, have I not killed you?"

It seemed to be the case. So far, the other party's emotions were relatively stable. Yuan Feng felt relieved and found a relatively clean floor to sit down.

Feng Shaotian unceremoniously moved his butt over and said, "Brother, we are in the same cell. We are destined to be together. So we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. Tell me the truth, do you really not have the foundation-building pill?"

"Of course I don't." Yuan Feng shook his head affirmatively, "But... I know how to make pills, and there happen to be some herbs in my storage bag."

After thinking it over carefully, Yuan Feng felt that he could not pin his hopes on the wise judge to make a wise decision, and he had to find a way out himself.

He didn't know whether Feng Shaotian was a person worthy of hope, but since breaking through the foundation-building stage could reduce his sentence, and he was the son of the King of Dongzhou, he could still give it a try.

"Can you really make pills?" Hope lit up Feng Shaotian's eyes.

“Yes….”

Yuan Feng's tone suddenly became firm. It was already this time, he had to learn it even if he didn't know how. He had practiced it several times in the past few days, and it was time to test the results.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and make the elixir. I'll cover you." Feng Shaotian became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Now there is still a problem. I have the alchemy furnace and the materials for alchemy, but I don't have the recipe for refining the foundation-building pill. I don't know how to refine it."

"Then what are you talking about!" Feng Shaotian instantly lost his temper and slumped aside.

"I was thinking that since you are of noble status and your father is the King of Dongzhou, you should have a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"I have a lot of experience, but can't you tell what kind of person I am? I am a playboy who spends most of my time playing. How could I possibly know the recipe for an elixir?"

Brother, you still have a clear self-awareness... Yuan Feng couldn't help but secretly complain, and at the same time he was very discouraged.

Since there is no recipe for the elixir, there is no way I can gamble even if I want to. I can only pin my hopes on tomorrow's trial.

After a long silence, Feng Shaotian suddenly looked up.

"Hey, I figured out a solution!"

"Oh?" Yuan Feng looked over in surprise.

"Come closer, I'll talk to you in a low voice." Feng Shaotian waved his hand.

Yuan Feng quickly leaned over to listen.

"Don't we have the recipe for the pill?" Feng Shaotian asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Feng nodded quickly.

"There are plenty of them out there. We can bribe the jailer and ask him to buy them for us."

"It's a good idea, but...will the jailer agree to buy the recipe for the pill for us?"

Yuan Feng had rarely been out of the house and didn't quite understand the unspoken rules of this world. Are the jailers here so irresponsible?

"I'll just ask the jailer to buy the recipe. The jailer isn't stupid, so of course he won't agree. But... I have a roundabout way."

"You say." Yuan Feng listened attentively.

"When I was a kid, my father forced me to study, but I just couldn't get into it..."

"Can you please get to the point? We don't have much time. The jailer may take my storage bag away at any time."

It’s no wonder Yuan Feng didn’t have the patience to listen to him reminiscing about his childhood; time simply didn’t allow it.

"Don't worry, the key point is at the end. Later, I read a book, a travelogue, and I got so into it that there happened to be a passage that talked about people in a certain place who had a very good method for refining pills. It mentioned a recipe for a foundation-building pill."

"The book is called...?"

"Don't worry, let me recall. It's been a while, and I can't remember clearly."

Is this what you call seeing deeply?

Yuan Feng now doubts the authenticity of Feng Shaotian's words?

But things have come to this point, and he has no choice but to give it a try.

After a while, Feng Shaotian suddenly exclaimed:

"I thought of it!"

His sudden startled movements made Yuan Feng's heart beat fast, for he was afraid that the jailer would be alarmed.

"What's the title of the book?" Yuan Feng asked quickly after calming down.

"It's called... "Travels in Eight Directions"."

"Sure?"

"Sure, it was after reading this book that I fell in love with traveling. It can't be wrong."

"That's good. Now we should think about how to bribe the jailer. Do you have any idea?"

"I didn't." Feng Shaotian spread his hands naturally, "It's always others who bribe me, there's no reason for me to bribe others."

I see. No wonder you're doing so badly in this cell. Even your shoes have been taken off.

The problem now is that Yuan Feng has no experience in this area.

It is true that he has lived two lives, but he has not been a smooth person since his previous life.

"How about this? I haven't confessed my identity as the prince of Dongzhou to the jailer yet. I will confess it now and promise him wealth and glory, and ask him to bring us a copy of "Travels in Eight Directions"?"

Yuan Feng looked at Feng Shaotian like a fool: "Have you ever thought about this? If someone reports to the higher-ups and hands you over to the Southern King, you can also gain wealth and glory?"

"It seems to be the case?" Feng Shaotian scratched his head, suddenly realized something, and said nervously, "Brother, you are not going to report my identity in order to get out, right?"

Yes!

It can be done this way, why didn’t I think of it earlier... Yuan Feng suddenly realized.

But if you think about it carefully, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can report it, but people have to believe it. How can I prove to them that Feng Shaotian is the prince of Dongzhou? It can't be just based on one sentence, right?

"Don't worry, I am a principled person. Since you are willing to tell me your identity, I will never betray you." After thinking it through, Yuan Feng said righteously.

Since reporting it is not realistic, just do a favor.

Sure enough, Feng Shaotian was deeply moved by Yuan Feng.

"Brother, from now on, you are my real brother. When we get out, I will make you extremely wealthy!"

Feng Shaotian almost cried.

Yuan Feng thanked him for the kindness. The last person who made promises to him was his boss in his previous life.

Under the current circumstances, Yuan Feng can only eat this big pie if he can get out.

Reaching a stalemate, the cell fell silent again.

"Brother Feng!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice made Yuan Feng stunned.

"Mu Xin? Why are you here?"

"Brother Feng, it really is you." Zhao Muxin threw herself on the railing with tears in her eyes.

"What are you doing here? Where's Jiu'er?"

"She is outside, chatting with the jailer. It was Sister Jiuer who persuaded the jailer to let Xiner in to visit Brother Feng."

Yuan Feng opened his mouth in surprise. He had long thought that Hu Jiuer was a person who could do great things, and she did not disappoint him.

It's really amazing that he can easily convince the jailer.

"Who is this?"

Feng Shaotian suddenly interrupted, fixing his hair and posing.

"This is my sister." Yuan Feng checked with Zhao Muxin before going out. The relationship between the two outside is that of brother and sister.

As for Hu Jiuer, she is the eldest sister.

"Your sister? She doesn't look like you."

Nonsense, there's no way it looks like that.

"She takes after her mother, and I take after my father." Yuan Feng said casually.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm a good brother your brother just met. If we have time, can we have a deeper exchange?" Feng Shaotian directly bypassed Yuan Feng and flirted with Zhao Muxin.

Yuan Feng looked at him with peach blossoms in his eyes and had the urge to punch him.

Don’t you fucking like fox demons?

Why do I have to flirt with a pretty girl when I see her now?

So you're just a face lover, right?

Complaints aside, the most important thing is to get down to business.

"Brother Feng, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat later. Let's get down to business first. My sister can come in, so she should be able to help us carry things."

"Yes!" Feng Shaotian suddenly realized.
