"My name is Xu Rao. I am one of the seven brothers of Wu Mountain," Xu Rao said indifferently.

    "Each of us seven excels in different abilities."

    "And I''m best at interrogation."

    "You have only one chance."

    "So... who is the Pharmacist?" Xu Rao''s eyeballs remained motionless as he stared silently at Shang Huan.

    The cold gaze was so piercing that Shang Huan''s scalp tingled.

    How did I come across these devils!?

    All the disciples in the Lower Courtyard knew that the seven brothers of Wu Mountain were ruthless and forced lower court disciples to farm and make money.

    Many rebellious disciples disappeared without a trace!

    What''s key is, they not only did this but also got away with it for so many years!

    "Looks like we have a tough guy here," Ai Ji said impatiently. "You better start soon, I hate wasting time."

    "You''ve made the wrong choice," Xu Rao said, his expression neutral.

    He made his fingers into a knife shape.

    Swipe!

    "I''ll talk!" Shang Huan shouted at the top of his lungs.

    A bead of blood emerged from Shang Huan''s neck on the right side and trickled down.

    His scalp exploded with fear, and his eyes filled with blood vessels; he felt like he was about to say goodbye to this world in that fleeting moment.

    I''ve made so much money and bought the most expensive Secret Techniques. I haven''t even started training!

    I can''t die, I must not die!

    Shang Huan''s face turned pale, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

    "Who is the Pharmacist?" Xu Rao''s voice was still even-toned.

    Shang Huan opened his mouth, feeling his throat dry and difficult to speak, as he clenched his fist hard. How did I end up in this situation?

    "Speak!" shouted Ai Ji, losing his patience.

    Xu Rao''s right hand lifted slightly, and the Jet Black Soul Strength suddenly transformed into a sharp knife edge.

    Shang Huan''s face showed struggle as he faced the increasingly dangerous gazes of the two men.

    I''m sorry... I didn''t want to...

    "It''s Mo Wuzhou!" Shang Huan''s face contorted, "The Pharmacist is brother Mo Wuzhou."

    "I''m just a salesperson working for him."

    "He always has his confidants deliver the medicine to me, then they take away the money earned that month."

    "No wonder," Ai Ji raised an eyebrow, "I had heard long ago that this young brother Mo is proficient in various skills. Now that he''s apprenticed in the Upper Court, it''s said that he is also learning Alchemy."

    "That''s not right," Xu Rao stared blankly at Shang Huan.

    "Mo Wuzhou is at the central Medicinal Field of the Lower Courtyard; you''re just a small-time vendor from the outskirts."

    "With your status, how could you possibly get close to him?"

    Shang Huan showed a bitter smile, "Indeed, I''m not capable of being in contact with brother Mo."

    "But I have an elder who helped brother Mo when he first arrived at the Lower Courtyard," Shang Huan added.

    "When he started planting Yellow Bud Rice, it was my elder who taught him hands-on."

    "So..."

    "Seems that the old man was telling the truth," Ai Ji glanced at Xu Rao and smiled.

    "What a pity for my twenty acres of Yellow Bud Rice Fields..."

    ...

    Inside the Shang Huan estate.

    Time passed bit by bit, and the sky grew darker.

    The young man in the black bodysuit with White Jade tied in his hair, had a gentle complexion. He stood up and gently tapped the hanging oval crystal ball.

    Immediately, the bioluminescent algae inside emitted a gentle, pearly white light.

    "It seems you''ve been abandoned," the gentle young man Lu Ku said softly.

    "Wait a bit longer, please wait! Maybe something has delayed them!" Shang Huan''s pupils involuntarily contracted.

    "Maybe..." Lu Ku was noncommittal.

    Then he said with a gentle smile, "Can you tell me how much White Jade Money you make in a month?"

    "Don''t worry, I''m just purely curious."

    Shang Huan''s heart skipped a beat. He was about to speak, but then held back.

    Facing the other''s smiling gaze, Shang Huan couldn''t help but feel his scalp tighten.

    He understood that if he didn''t say the right thing, his life would surely be over!

    But what to say to satisfy the other party?

    "Last month I just bought the Small Celestial Milky Way Spiritual Light Method."

    "Give me two more months, and I can buy another!"

    "Not bad," Lu Ku nodded with a smile.

    "But what if you don''t have the Medicinal Powders and Pills provided by Gongsun Sheng?"

    Shang Huan''s forehead suddenly broke out in a sweat.

    Thinking carefully, he realized that the substantial money he had made over the past few months all depended on those medicinal powders and pills that seemed fake but were actually just substandard products.

    That was the reason he was able to sell them and not have anyone trouble him!

    "It seems you can''t."

    As soon as the words fell, the door panel-like brawny man suddenly appeared behind Shang Huan and Old Hao.

    Palms like fan leaves, he quietly reached for the necks of the two men.

    "How about we do a test?" Lu Ku sat down again, smiling and looking at the two.

    "Let''s see if that Mr. Gongsun cares at all about your wellbeing."

    Bang!

    The two men were suddenly grabbed by the neck by the door panel brawny man and lifted into the air.

    The Soul Strength that automatically emerged in defense from the two men was crushed by the brawny man.

    "I was hoping to invite that Pharmacist to become one of our seven brothers," Lu Ku sighed and shook his head: "The lead has gone cold, what a pity... Hm?"

    "Yu Lin? What''s happening to you..."

    Holding up Shang Huan and the others, the door panel-like brawny man Yu Lin suddenly became as still as a mosquito in amber, his entire body static, as if the pause button had been hit.

    "Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles!" a detached voice suddenly rang out.

    Crack!

    The door panel brawny man''s arms, thick as thighs, suddenly snapped.

    Forearm bones pierced through the thick muscles, and strands of blood clung to the white bone, looking particularly gruesome.
