Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1275 - 49: Sect Hierarch Shen’s Commercial Empire
"You seem to be enjoying this..."
"That’s just a facade. My heart is actually riddled with wounds."
"Alright, what do you want me to do?"
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush with her.
If she were his own wife, it might be different. Sometimes saying a few flirty words can spice up life.
But the problem is that Shen Qingxi isn’t his wife, and she has her sights on his wife.
"Three tasks."
Shen Qingxi raised three fingers: "Let’s start with the less important one—you’ve been out of the loop for the past six months, so you probably don’t know what’s happening outside. Someone is secretly selling extraordinary characteristics..."
What the hell?
Are you kidding me? Did I end up in the wrong story?
They’ve even brought out extraordinary characteristics. What’s your sequence number now?
Wang Yunxiao was about to mock when an idea suddenly struck him, and he understood what Shen Qingxi was implying.
"That’s right, just as you thought, someone has cultivated the Twelve Laws and extracted their cultivation results for sale as merchandise."
"Can that stuff be extracted?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yunxiao’s first reaction was disbelief. Are you kidding me?
This doesn’t match the setting.
The cultivation of the Twelve Laws is based on perception. Personal perception determines the cultivation results; it could also be called talent.
Someone like Old Six, who always looks out for himself in danger and pushes others in front, would never be able to cultivate as a Garrison Soldier.
So how do you extract this? By transferring your brain to someone else’s?
The officials have not intentionally blocked the Twelve Laws’ cultivation methods. In fact, they’ve been actively promoting them since the new government was established.
They’re not afraid of you learning, only of you not being able to learn.
For the sake of prudence, they even revised the textbooks several times.
As long as you study diligently, you’ll encounter this knowledge eventually.
If you don’t, it only means your academic performance isn’t outstanding enough, or you lack the talent for cultivation.
"What does the extracted stuff look like?"
Shen Qingxi pulled out a metal syringe from the drawer and tossed it to Wang Yunxiao. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
The syringe was filled with a blood-red liquid... Yes, it was definitely blood.
But not ordinary blood.
Wang Yunxiao shook it in his hand and refreshed his memory.
"God’s Blood?"
This is what the Blood Cup Sect came up with?
"Exactly, it’s essentially God’s Blood extracted from a cultivator’s blood, containing the related Dharma Gate’s cultivation results."
Shen Qingxi pointed to her neck: "With a jab, you can instantly transform from an ordinary person to a cultivator, mastering the related Dharma Gate’s divine skills. Isn’t that impressive?"
Impressive, my ass!
If such a method were so effective, the officials would’ve...
"Who’s selling this stuff?"
"I am."
Huh?
Seeing Wang Yunxiao’s puzzled gaze, Shen Qingxi calmly explained: "Although I say it humbly, this young lady can be considered a dominant figure in Tianmen City’s underworld now. Besides me, who else could do this kind of business?"
Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment and realized his question was wrong.
She’s not wrong; currently, in Tianmen’s streets, apart from the outcast heretical sects already cleaned out by the Special Service Bureau, almost all the illicit cults are under Shen Qingxi’s control.
Longevity Sect, Mechanical God Sect, and the group of Fusang People who worship Pear Blossom Fairy.
No matter what rumors are on the street or what business is conducted, it cannot escape Shen Qingxi’s eyes.
"Who’s producing this stuff?"
"Shen Family."
Hmm...
Well, she talked all the way to the end.
Isn’t the Shen Family just you now? You’re the only branch left!
"Turns out this is the kind of business the Shen Family is doing. But it’s still under research and hasn’t produced a finished product. Do you remember that warehouse owned by Yamazaki Pharmaceuticals?"
Shen Qingxi explained: "Underneath that is the Shen Family’s secret lab, where they cultivate their own human skin painters and conduct this research... until Li Mumu blew it up."
Mentioning Yamazaki Pharmaceuticals’ warehouse left a deep impression on Wang Yunxiao.
Of course, at that time, he didn’t know Li Mumu was behind it, nor did Shen Qingxi.
Until she later discovered the missing Western medicine from the warehouse was all accounted for in the Longevity Sect’s smuggling logs; only then was this secret uncovered.
"The Shen Family is already annihilated, and their mastermind, Tartalos, has been captured. Now, someone is digging up past technical documents?"
"The main point isn’t who’s digging it up. The details of God’s Blood are widespread, so it’s not surprising for anyone to study it."
Shen Qingxi shook her head: "The real issue is, what’s the purpose of studying this stuff?"
Yes, what is it?
Why bypass official channels and engage in these illicit acts privately?
It can’t be because you don’t love learning, right?
Wang Yunxiao weighed the syringe in his hand and asked: "Has the Special Service Bureau been informed about this?"
"Of course they’re aware, but you know their working style."
Shen Qingxi spread her hands: "This stuff only recently hit the market. I only obtained two samples, one’s with me, and the other I handed over to Commander Xia. Given the efficiency of the Special Service Bureau, it’ll probably take another three to five months before they close the net."
Indeed, they’re old hands at fishing.
Wang Yunxiao agreed with this wholeheartedly.
"Since the Special Service Bureau is already investigating, why tell me about it?"
He looked at Shen Qingxi, who was also silently watching him, her lips slightly curled up.
"Currently, the circulating ones are only the three Dharma Gates: Garrison Soldier, Craftsman, and Demon Heretical Path, and those are just the most basic models."
"If this technique can really be applied..."
"Commander Wang, don’t you want to secure a backup for yourself?"
Bullshit! Is this what you call securing a backup?
Don’t speak so ambiguously!
Shen Qingxi touched her flat belly, jokingly: "A legitimate one is fine too."
So you do realize just how unscrupulous you are!
"What’s the second task?"
Wang Yunxiao decisively decided to skip this topic.
"Help me kill some people."
"Kill people? And some?"
Wang Yunxiao was further confused, thinking, do you really need to specifically find me to kill someone?
Miss Shen, can’t you as a fearsome witch wield a knife, or is it that time of the month making you unwell?
"If it were others, I wouldn’t trouble you."
Shen Qingxi smiled: "But the people targeted this time have some ties to your family."
This gave Wang Yunxiao a pause.
"What do you mean?"
"You know Eldest Miss Li grew up in Cypher and only returned to the country last year, right?"
"I know."
"Did she ever tell you about her social connections there from when she was younger?"
"..."
No, mainly because I didn’t ask.
Wang Yunxiao said coldly: "Feel free to speak directly."
"This matter, it’s hard to be clear-cut."
Shen Qingxi spread her hands: "Her father, Mr. Mu, you should be familiar with him, right? These days he’s known as an influential middleman in the Four Seas Commerce Guild. Rightly so, he’s raking in loads of gold every day."
"Currently, some respected veterans in the Four Seas Commerce Guild have moved to Tianmen concerning Mr. Mu..."
Wang Yunxiao thought: Here we go again, talking about the same old thing from back then.
Isn’t that just trying to take a bite of Boss Mu’s influence, thinking his force is too weak?
The distant relatives of King Mu’s Mansion already tried this once before.
Now those old farts from the Four Seas Commerce Guild want to try it too.
A man with wealth but lacking power is like a woman with beauty but no virtue.
Given that, Boss Mu should be able to handle it himself; there’s no need for me to help.
Especially when Shen Qingxi brought it up, talking about helping with murders.
"If Eldest Miss Li, before returning to the country, received an invitation from Yellowstone Throne..."
Shen Qingxi said seriously: "If Mr. Mu doesn’t comply with their terms, they’re prepared to expose Li Mumu’s dark past."
Right, and then what?
With the Four Seas Commerce Guild’s aggressive move into Tianmen, people are already quite upset. Some have even called the President’s office; the lid of this issue can’t be kept on much longer.
