Chapter 129: Chapter 126: Acquired Materials, Preparing to Forge Pill Furnace

Qin Zhao was about to step forward to inquire when two men in suits approached.

"Hello, we’re from Hengshun Auction House, and we’d like to buy that stone you have there. Can we talk?"

The middle-aged man, not doing so well at home, looked a bit apprehensive upon seeing them.

"Can this really be sold?"

"Let’s take a look first."

The middle-aged man handed over the stone, and one of the men inspected it carefully.

Qin Zhao clearly saw excitement in the man’s eyes, but he said, "It looks a bit like it, but unfortunately, it’s not Wu Rui Stone. This should be Black Iron Stone; we have a lot of it."

"Black Iron Stone isn’t valuable; it’s of no use to us."

Hearing their words, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "This stone feels different; it must be something good. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you at a low price."

The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes carrying a hint of triumph.

People from Hengshun Auction House?

Wasn’t this the auction house Qin Zhao just dealt with?

Qin Zhao hadn’t expected to run into these auction house people here again by such a coincidence.

"Would six hundred work?"

"Oh, six hundred is even too much."

One named a price, and the other showed a look of loss.

The middle-aged man hastily said, "Six hundred works!"

Seeing him as a sincere and simple person, Qin Zhao stepped forward to stop the transaction.

She took the Wu Rui Stone in her hand, "I also want to buy it. Why not sell it to me?"

"We already agreed on the price. Why are you randomly snatching it?"

The two men looked at Qin Zhao with dissatisfaction.

"I’ll offer five hundred thousand. Will you sell it?"

"What?"

The middle-aged man looked at her incredulously.

"Five hundred thousand? Did I hear that right?"

Qin Zhao nodded, "This is indeed Wu Rui Stone, and they are deceiving you."

She had just checked online about Wu Rui Stone, and this stone matched all its characteristics.

"Wow, you guys were actually deceiving me!"

The complexion of the two men from Hengshun Auction House turned sour.

They had intended to acquire this stone cheaply and then sell it at auction to make a huge profit.

But they hadn’t expected someone to disrupt their plan midway.

"So, can you sell it to me?"

Qin Zhao asked again, and the middle-aged man nodded hastily.

"Yes! I’ll sell it to you!"

Qin Zhao immediately transferred five hundred thousand to him and added his contact information.

Because she wanted to ask later where he had gotten this stone.

The middle-aged man left excitedly, while the two from Hengshun Auction House glared at Qin Zhao angrily.

"You just wait!"

Qin Zhao didn’t take their threats seriously and continued browsing the market.

When she left the antique market, she noticed someone was following her.

Qin Zhao stopped, her red lips curling into a sarcastic smile.

She left a spell behind as her silhouette suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Where did that woman go?"

"I don’t know, she was just in front of us."

The two men stood puzzled in the middle of the road, not noticing that the road was now empty of pedestrians.

Clang! Not far away, a manhole cover suddenly lifted.

"Are you looking for me?"

A sinister voice came.

The long-haired female ghost, dressed in bright red, slowly crawled out, staring straight at them.

"Ah! A ghost!"

"What the— Ahhh!"

The female ghost reached out with both hands and grabbed their ankles.

Thump, thump.

Two clattering sounds echoed as they both fell into the sewer.

In the dark environment, gusts of cold wind blew incessantly.

It seemed as though countless souls were lingering by their ears, causing the two of them to faint on the spot.

The illusion on the street vanished, and the bustling crowd continued as usual.

Only, the manhole on the street suddenly opened, revealing two unconscious people below.

To everyone else, it appeared as though these two people had walked over, opened the manhole, and then jumped down.

After Qin Zhao left, she went to buy some more artifact refining materials.

Wu Rui Stone could be used as the main material, and by purchasing some common materials, she could forge her own Pill Furnace.

Imperial Capital First District Hospital.

Xu Zhiwei suddenly fainted at home and was rushed for emergency care.

Due to her unique blood type and a congenital illness, Dr. Chu had always been managing her condition, so the emergency room called Dr. Chu over.

The surgery wasn’t complicated and was quickly resolved.

When Xu Zhiwei woke up in the hospital room, she found many people gathered around her.

Her gaze circled around but didn’t see Chu Yan, which inevitably disappointed her.

"Where’s Dr. Chu?"

Hearing her weak voice, Mr. Xu responded, "He saved you again this time. He has another surgery and had to leave. Dad will go thank him later."

"I know, only he can save me."

Noise came from the doorway as a young man walked in.

"Weiwei, are you okay?"

He held fresh flowers in his hand, looking worriedly at Xu Zhiwei on the bed.

This was the young master of the Mu Family, Mu Xuan.

Having grown up with Xu Zhiwei since childhood, he knew about her frail health and took extra care of her.

This care, over time, had developed into different feelings.

But Xu Zhiwei always kept him at a distance.

"I’m fine."

Xu Zhiwei smiled at Mu Xuan, "You don’t always have to be so anxious about me."

"Who else should I worry about if not you, always falling ill?"

Mu Xuan placed the flowers at her bedside.

Xu Zhiwei pursed her lips slightly and said, "I’m a bit tired, I want to sleep."

"Alright, then we won’t disturb you."

Xu Zhiwei’s parents and Mu Xuan left the hospital room together.

After chatting with them for a while, Xu Zhiwei’s mother returned to the hospital room to stay with her, while Mr. Xu went to handle the hospital admission procedures.

"Uncle, I’m going to leave now, I’ll come to see Weiwei again tomorrow."

"Alright, drive slowly."

They said goodbye and went in different directions.

As he was about to enter the elevator, a nurse ran over.

"Hello, are you Mr. Mu?"

"What is it?"

"This is for you, from Miss Xu."

The nurse handed him a note and then hurried off.

Mu Xuan unfolded the note and saw a line of words written on it.

"Meet me at Lizhu Garden tomorrow night, I need a favor from you. Don’t tell my parents, this is very important to me. I’m sick of it, I’m living in agony.

Also, don’t text or call me, I’m being watched.

Mu Xuan, I need your help."

Reading this, Mu Xuan’s expression turned complex.

Why would Weiwei say such things?

Aren’t her parents good to her?

In Mu Xuan’s mind, all sorts of scenarios were concocted.

Eventually, driven by his deep affection for Xu Zhiwei, he decided to go to Lizhu Garden tomorrow night to understand the situation clearly.

Lately, Xu Zhiwei seemed downhearted due to Chu Yan’s marriage.

Mu Xuan had asked her the reason, but she never disclosed why.

At this moment, Mu Xuan felt there was a huge secret surrounding her!
