Mo Fei shrugged. “I’ve heard there’s a shortage of black smoke stones on Wu Family’s side, while fewer and fewer people work on looking for the stones, so maybe they are too anxious.”
Xiao Chen’s mouth curved up into a mocking smile, “You find one, and the valley has one less. After all these years, the reserves of black smoke stones are becoming less and less, while on the other hand, Wu family’s needs of those stones are becoming bigger and bigger. In order to obtain more black smoke tones, they’d send a lot of human class masters to this hell-like place.”
Mo Fei frowned and said, “The reserves are fixed. It’s no use even if they send more people in.”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, “It should be of some use. It’s just that it becomes less and less useless as the stones are becoming less and less.”
Mo Fei frowned, heaved a sigh and said, “Forget it. Even the sky falls, those taller ones could hold it. Let’s focus on our potion.”
Xiao Chen nodded, “You are right.”
Flying Pigeon went forward and said with a headache, “It’s getting harder and harder to find black smoke stones these days.”
The potion of Wu Family’s poison-removing potion needed black smoke stones. People would only die if they couldn’t find those stones for a long time. So recently fights about those stones also became more.
Outside the Black Smoke Valley
“Elder, these days we have sent in so many people, but the black smoke stones produced are becoming less.”
“The black smoke stones in the valley are almost mined. Even if we send more people in, we will not change the fact that the stones are becoming less and less.” Wu Yaotian helplessly said.
“Speaking of which, I’ve had a vague bad feeling lately.” Wu Cheng frowned.
“What is it?” Wu Yaotian asked.
“I’m afraid someone in the valley has developed a potion against the poisonous smoke.” Wu Cheng said faintly.
Wu Yaotian frowned and looked at him with an unfriendly look, “Laosan (means the third brother in English), are you joking?”
The black smoke stones were very precious. Other forces had also meant to encroach on the valley, but pity that that didn’t have the poison-removing potion. Even if they occupied the valley, they couldn’t operate it at all, so finally they all gave up.
If someone else had developed the poison-removing potion, they could no longer threaten those cultivators in the valley to work for them.
Poison-removing potion was xuan class, which had cost an earth class pharmacist two years to work it out.
“You know how long that potion master has spent to develop it. How could it be that easy?”
Wu Cheng’s brow spread and he said, “Of course I know. Maybe I overthink things.”
…
“Boss, Wu Family has raised the price of the stones. One stone could exchange for two poison-removing potions.” Flying Pigeon’s eyes were beaming.
Ye Feng touched his chin, frowning, “They raised the price? That’s not like those son of a bitch’s style!”
“Yes! Those people are always stingy, and do not care about people’s life and death in the valley at all. I don’t know what ill intention they are holding this time. If they raise the price, the fight over the stones in the valley would only become fiercer.” Said Flying Pigeon helplessly.
Ye Feng touched his chin, “Mr. Chen has developed a substitute for their poison, although the effect is not as good as theirs, it’s still useful, so we are not in urgent need of the black smoke stones.”
Flying Pigeon nodded and said, “Mr. Chen is awesome, if it weren’t for Mr. Chen, at this time, I would have been fighting with others over the stones.”
“Even if there is an alternative, we must not relax in our search for the black smoke stones. We can’t let them sense anything wrong.” warned Ye Feng.
Flying Pigeon nodded and said, “I know. You can count on me, boss.”
“Things haven’t been right lately!” Ye Feng frowned, looking quite worried, “I always feel that those people are scheming something.”
Flying Pigeon looked at him and asked, “Boss, what do you think they are scheming?”
Ye Feng shook his head, “You ask me, who should I ask then?”
Flying Pigeon looked at the expression of Ye Feng and shut his mouth.
“Boss, that bitch Xue Luocha is here with her underlings.” A subordinate walked in to report.
Ye Feng frowned. Although Xue Luo Cha was a woman, she was one of the few badasses in the Black Smoke Valley. A lot of people had died in her hands. Not someone to be trifled with.
Those who worked for her were all women, who were exactly like Xue Luocha, vicious and heartless, very hard to deal with.
“Boss, we always care about our own business and never nose into each other’s thing. Why does she suddenly come? Is it possible those girls under her are craving for men, so she brought them over here.” grinned Flying Pigeon.
Ye Feng sneered, “Even if her underlings want men, dare you sleep with any of them?”
Flying Pigeon smiled awkwardly and said, “No…”
“Loser!” Ye Feng snorted.
Flying Pigeon scratched his head in embarrassment.
“No one comes to the Hall of Trinity without a reason. That woman wouldn’t come for nothing. Let her in.” said Ye Feng faintly.
