"Damn it, what's going on? Why aren't people buying our Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion's He Dao Pills?"
In the Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion, within the Void Black Market.
Manager Huang Hao held a pill sales record booklet in his hand.
Looking at the pitiful few of the Po Breakthrough Pills sold each month, his face was filled with anger.
"Didn't those guys from before stop showing up in the Void Black Market? What exactly is going on!"
"Guards, go and investigate again! Find out if there's anything strange happening in the Void Black Market recently."
Huang Hao issued the command in extreme anger.
As expected, it wasn't long before a piece of news reached Huang Hao's ears.
It seemed that many cultivators who were previously stuck at the peak of the Void Return stage had reappeared during this period in the Void Black Market, now having reached the He Dao stage.
Simultaneously, these breakthrough Void Return cultivators, before their advancements,
seemed to have met with a He Dao stage cultivator.
According to the information obtained by the spies, that He Dao stage cultivator appeared to be the first person to transact with the merchant who was selling imitation Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion He Dao Pills.
The moment Huang Hao heard this news, he realized something was wrong.
"Damn it, that guy is still secretly selling He Dao Pills."
Huang Hao's gaze shifted to his side.
Beside him, Chen Fang and Wu Cangqing, the two captain generals, also wore grim expressions.
As the ones responsible for maintaining safety in the Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion in this area of the Void Black Market, any issues with pill sales were within their scope of responsibility.
Huang Hao looked at Chen Fang and Wu Cangqing, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Gentlemen, this time I'll need you to act again. Go and capture someone for me! Oh, and also call over the few fellow Daoists summoned by headquarters."
The person Huang Hao intended to capture was naturally the He Dao cultivator who was cooperating with Li Qi.
"Understood. Manager Huang, you can rest assured about this matter."
With that, the two of them left the Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion once more.
...
"Fellow Daoist, where are our He Dao Pills! I've already paid you!"
"Fellow Daoist, what about mine? I pre-ordered last time."
In an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the Void Black Market.
A group of Void Return peak cultivators gathered around the He Dao stage cultivator who was cooperating with Li Qi.
"Please don't crowd, everyone. Rest assured, I've brought all the He Dao Pills. Everyone who pre-ordered last time will get theirs."
With that, the He Dao stage cultivator brought out the He Dao Pills.
According to the pre-ordered slots from last time, he distributed the He Dao Pills one by one to those who had reserved them.
After distributing these pre-ordered He Dao Pills,
the He Dao stage cultivator was left with only two or three pills.
"Fellow Daoist, I didn't manage to pre-order last time. Since you still have a few He Dao Pills, why not sell me one? Six million two hundred thousand spirit stones, I'll give you an extra two hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"Fellow Daoist, I want one too. Can you go and pre-order some more He Dao Pills for us? We Void Return cultivators whose lifespans are nearing their end can only rely on these He Dao Pills to try our luck and break through to the He Dao stage."
A group of cultivators who hadn't pre-ordered or bought He Dao Pills were clamoring.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the He Dao stage cultivator's face. He was about to speak to appease them, telling them to take it slow.
But in the next moment, two terrifying pressures belonging to the third heaven of the He Dao stage completely enveloped the area.
The Void Return peak cultivators who were clamoring for He Dao Pills suddenly felt their hearts tremble, filled with immense fear.
The He Dao stage cultivator's expression also changed drastically, sensing that something was amiss.
But in the next moment, it was too late for him to escape.
"Stay right there."
A cold voice rang out.
These two He Dao third heaven auras instantly suppressed him in place.
In the next instant, Chen Fang and Wu Cangqing appeared.
The two of them cast cold glances at the trembling cultivators on the scene, their gazes simultaneously falling on the He Dao stage cultivator.
Under the chilling scrutiny of the two He Dao third heaven powerhouses, even he, a fellow He Dao stage cultivator, felt a tremor of fear.
"Heh heh... gentlemen, gentlemen Daoists, what important business brings you here?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You know where that guy who's selling our Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion's imitation He Dao Pills is, right?"
Upon hearing this, beads of cold sweat appeared on the He Dao stage cultivator's forehead.
Under the considerable spirit stone reward, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Heh heh, gentlemen, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
"Don't understand?"
Hearing this, Chen Fang and Wu Cangqing's eyes turned cold again.
They looked in a certain direction.
There, two more He Dao stage cultivators were approaching.
They were the experts from the Cang Yan Elixir Pavilion's headquarters.
At the same time, in the hands of the two He Dao stage cultivators, several Void Return peak cultivators were being held by spiritual energy.
Seeing this, the He Dao stage cultivator's expression changed even more.
Because those Void Return peak cultivators were none other than the ones who had just taken the He Dao Pills from him.
Following that, these Void Return peak cultivators were all directly thrown in front of him.
Chen Fang raised his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed from his palm. With a grab,
from the pockets of these Void Return peak cultivators,
pieces of imitation He Dao Pills were snatched into his hand.
