Nine Dragons Supreme God

For the past few days, everyone in the Alchemist Guild, from alchemists to apprentices, has been busy refining the Meridian Expansion Pill.

After his wounds were bandaged, Huang Shan inevitably fell into despair, but under Cui Shiyan's coercion, he had no choice but to join the team that was making medicine.

Three days later, the quantity of the Meridian Expansion Pills finally reached a certain scale.

Due to the previous advertising effect, as expected, the Kuo Mai Dan was snapped up as soon as it hit the market. Within just one hour, the Kuo Mai Dan became so popular that it was in short supply and there was a shortage of supply.

With such momentum, if the Alchemist Guild and the Mo family were to increase production, they would surely make a fortune.

In response, apart from Huang Shan, who still harbored resentment towards Mo Yihan, no other voices of doubt were raised within the Alchemist Guild.

Soon after, news spread that Jin Dongliang, a rising star of the Jin family, had opened up two more meridians in a short period of time after taking the Meridian Expansion Pill, which shocked all the martial artists in Jianye City.

In addition, Meng Zhiyong of the Meng family opened up three meridians!

In an instant, the entire city was shaken, and all the warriors in Jianye City went crazy for it!

All the major and minor forces in Jianye City sent out spies to find out who the mysterious big shot behind them was who provided the Meridian Expansion Pill.

Time passed quietly, but the popularity of the Meridian Expanding Pill not only did not diminish, but intensified.

On the fifth day after Jun Ruma's death, Jun Ruyi rushed to Jianye City at breakneck speed.

Upon arriving in Jianye City, Jun Ruyi did not delay for a moment and went straight to the residence of the Minister of Works to open the coffin and examine the body.

"Second Young Master, how is the situation?"

A young man in white robes, whose demeanor was in no way inferior to that of a nobleman from the imperial city, asked with a slightly solemn expression.

"Judging from the second brother's body, the fatal wound does not seem to be from the Jin family's Plum Blossom Hand technique."

Jun Ruyi stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

A sharp glint flashed in the white-robed youth's eyes: "Does the Second Young Master mean that Jin Shiming was framed?"

This made the young man in white look a little strange. If the cause of the Third Young Master's death had nothing to do with the Jin family's Plum Blossom Hand, then how did the murderer frame Jin Shiming?

“That’s possible,” Jun Ruyi said calmly. “However, the palm technique that my second brother was hit with is similar to the Jin family’s Plum Blossom Hand, as if they are from the same lineage.”

The young man in white asked in confusion, "Second Young Master, what do you mean by that?"

"The palm technique that struck my second brother is far more profound and exquisite than the Jin family's Great Plum Blossom Hand. Its grade is probably no longer limited to mid-grade Xuan-level martial arts."

Jun Ruyi frowned slightly: "On the surface, my second brother's body seems to have only left a palm print shaped like a plum blossom. However, everything inside his body was already broken and riddled with holes before he died. Even the Jin family's Great Plum Blossom Hand can only cause the meridians and blood vessels in the person who is hit to become disordered. For those of the same level, it can only affect their combat power. It is impossible to reach such a terrifying level."

The young man in white suddenly felt a chill run down his spine: "Although Jianye City is a provincial capital, the highest-ranking martial arts among the three major families is only mid-level Xuan-grade. Could it be that a more powerful force is involved in this matter?"

“Indeed, there were external forces involved in this incident.” Jun Ruyi’s expression quickly returned to calm: “The guards responsible for protecting my third brother all lost their lives to the Poison Palm of the Transformation Fire.”

"Transformation Fire Poison Palm?" A hint of surprise flashed across the white-robed youth's eyes: "It is said that only martial artists who have cultivated the Transformation Forbidden Technique can use the Transformation Fire Poison Palm. Its palm technique is vicious, ruthless, and can kill even a high-level expert with a single blow if the opponent is caught off guard."

"According to Junmin's intelligence, there are only two people in the world who can use the Transformation Fire Poison Palm."

“Indeed, they are a master and disciple.” Jun Ruyi nodded slightly and said, “One is the Poison King Du Tian, ​​who is known for his fear of pills, and the other is his disciple Hong Yan. These two have served the Blood-Clad Marquis for generations and are his most trusted confidants.”

"No wonder Yu Fan, the Third Young Master's bodyguard, reported that when the Third Young Master went to the Mo residence, he was held back by the devils under the Blood-Clad Marquis's command."

The white-robed youth's expression and voice had become quite grave: "If the Blood-Clad Marquis is involved in this matter, the situation and its implications will likely escalate several levels..."

"With the limited clues we have so far, it is not enough to determine whether Jin Shiming is involved in this matter."

Jun Ruyi's young and bright eyes revealed a sense of experience as she slowly spoke: "Jin Shiming isn't that stupid, but that possibility cannot be ruled out. Another possibility is that the Blood-Clad Marquis and his collaborators have joined forces to weaken the Jin family's power. However, in the Blood-Clad Marquis's eyes, the Jin family is nothing but ants. Logically speaking, the Blood-Clad Marquis should disdain to take action against such a family..."

"It seems my guess was correct. This matter is undoubtedly complex and far-reaching, and the Blood-Clad Marquis's target may not be limited to the Jin family..."

At this point, the young man in white paused before saying, "The Blood-Clad Marquis is very likely to take action against our Jun family this time."

"Jun Ling, what do you think of the Mo family?" Jun Ruyi suddenly asked, changing the subject.

"The Mo family?" Jun Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The Mo family seems to have been very well-behaved over the years. They have never neglected or overlooked the tasks assigned by the Jun family. On the surface, it seems that the Mo family has truly submitted to the Jun family and the royal family."

“Jun Ling, you used the word ‘seems’.” Jun Ruyi smiled slightly, her smile somewhat enigmatic: “The Mo family appears calm and law-abiding on the surface, but the death of my third brother made me realize that the Mo family seems to be hiding something very deep.”

"My third brother died on his way to the Mo family. Even though there is no evidence to suggest that the Mo family is involved, they cannot escape suspicion. This matter must be thoroughly investigated to comfort my third brother's spirit in heaven!"

"Has the Second Young Master found any clues?" Jun Ling asked.

Having followed the Second Young Master for many years, Jun Ling knew that Jun Ruyi was actually a very formidable person, and he always held him in deep respect and awe.

What's frightening is not Jun Ruyi's illustrious noble status. He holds no official position in the court or among the people, yet he is highly regarded by the head of the Jun family and even the current empress. He has solved many long-standing mysteries that have shocked the nation and has also accomplished many major events that have caused a sensation across the country.

But these are all superficial!

Even Jun Ling, who follows Jun Ruyi, still doesn't know Jun Ruyi's position in the court and among the people of Cangyi Kingdom.

All he knew was that Jun Ruyi's work was extremely confidential, and she enjoyed immense power in the court and among the people, even having the power to control the life and death of others with a wave of her hand.

Within his storage ring was an edict personally written by the Empress, which clearly stated: Jun Ruyi is a high-ranking official of the court, and all officials, families, and sects in the various cities that belong to the Cangyi Kingdom are subject to his orders.

It's clear how terrifying Jun Ruyi is, even at such a young age!
