357: Chapter 357 Using their own methods against them

"Leave Quan's side to me; I'll go ask around."

Liu Gui said in a deep voice.

Losing contact for three days was no small matter.

Especially since he was the Vice Chief of the City Patrol Bureau.

That position could not simply be lost like that.

"If you need to grease some palms, just say the word."

Liu Shu said.

"The Sea Demon Python Clan is visiting Dongchao City these days. For the time being, Liu Family, do not cause any trouble for me."

Liu Shu's gaze swept across the members of the Liu Family.

Specifically, at a certain son of his.

He did not want to bring disaster upon the Liu Family because of this.

"Yes."

Sea Race

As a Family power in Dongchao City, the Liu Family was not only protected by the Canghai Sword Pavilion.

They also had dealings with the Sea Race.

This was not uncommon in Dongchao City; it was normal for any power established in the city to have some contact with the Sea Race.

The Canghai Sword Pavilion also turned a blind eye to this.

But now, the situation was a bit different.

For some reason, Liu Shu had a strange, inexplicable premonition.

...

"Young Master Lin, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

When Lin Ming returned to the front of the inn, he was blocked by someone.

"Who are you?"

Lin Ming looked at the person before him.

He guessed he shouldn't know this person.

"I have been ordered to invite Young Master Lin to the City Patrol Bureau."

The person said.

"There's a result."

In fact, there had been a result by the second day of the matter.

However, because of Lin Ming's connection with the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, they had been unable to find his whereabouts.

But since she couldn't find him, she could only wait.

Now, she had finally waited for Lin Ming.

Immediately after, the two of them returned to the City Patrol Bureau.

"Junior Brother, you've certainly made your Senior Sister search for a long time these past few days."

Senior Sister Cui Mingxi said after seeing Lin Ming.

"My apologies, Senior Sister. I've been busy with other matters these days."

Lin Ming apologized.

"The matter has been clearly investigated. Junior Brother, you may dispose of those few people as you see fit."

Senior Sister Cui Mingxi changed the subject and said.

She hadn't expected her team to have such a corrupt atmosphere; it was because she was immersed in cultivation and ignored everything that things had reached this point.

Inside the Prison

Lin Ming had returned to this place once again.

Shen Ze and his companions were locked in one room.

Li Tao and Wang Er were the same.

Several people who had been corrupted by the Liu Family were no longer qualified to serve as City Guards.

And Senior Sister Cui Mingxi discovered it wasn't just one or two people.

For now, she was only dealing with these two first.

"Gentlemen, life these past few days hasn't been too bad, right?"

Lin Ming said to them.

"Sir, we were blind to have offended you. We know we were wrong, please let us go."

Wang Er hurriedly shouted at this moment.

"You two, you know you were wrong?"

Lin Ming suddenly walked to the cell where Li Tao and Wang Er were staying and asked.

"It was our fault, we will definitely change."

Li Tao said with a serious face.

Wang Er did the same.

"Letting the two of you go isn't out of the question."

Lin Ming revealed a somewhat playful smile.

"Sir, whatever you need us to do, we will surely comply."

Wang Er said.

"That day, these two said they would cut the meat off my body piece by piece."

Lin Ming said.

Death by a thousand cuts

"If you two cut the meat off their bodies piece by piece, I will let you go."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Tao and Wang Er were stunned.

They had never done such a thing before.

Just thinking about it gave them a hair-raising feeling.

Meanwhile, the expressions of Shen Ze and his companion changed abruptly.

Cut their meat off slice by slice?

Once the two of them learned of Lin Ming's identity, they knew they...

A saber and a sword

The saber was a Rank Six Medium Grade Origin Weapon

The sword was a Rank Seven Medium Grade Origin Weapon

And both were forged according to their requirements.

In other words, what was placed in the other Storage Ring were Origin Weapons, Origin Weapons forged by Lin Ming.

The Senior before them was not only a Rank Seven Alchemist, but also a Rank Seven Artifact Refiner?

A Dual Rank Seven Great Master?

This was somewhat hard for them to believe.

A Dual Rank Seven Great Master was something that had never appeared in the Qingxuan Realm.

Even in the records from ten thousand years ago, there had never been a Dual Rank Seven Great Master.

"Senior, did you refine these as well?"

President Fan Ling asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Nonsense."

Lin Ming said.

Alchemy and Artifact Refining together had taken him over three days.

If it were only one of them, a little over a day would have been enough.

After all, he was now a Saint-Grade Alchemist and Artifact Refiner.

Rank Seven Medicinal Pills and Origin Weapons were already familiar territory for him; they didn't take much of his time.

After receiving Lin Ming's confirmation, the shock on the two men's faces did not dissipate for a long time.

A Dual Rank Seven Great Master, a Rank Seven Alchemist and a Rank Seven Artifact Refiner.

They were witnessing history.

"Alright, this transaction ends here."

Lin Ming's words pulled them out of their shock.

"Senior, this is what we have collected."

President Fan Ling reacted immediately.

Meanwhile, Vice President Cheng Zhou turned around and quickly disappeared from their sight.

A moment later, he was seen walking in holding a wooden box.

He walked up to the two of them and opened the wooden box.

Upon opening the wooden box, a red fruit was seen placed inside; the surface of the fruit was inscribed with some special red patterns.

Wisps of flames were moving along these red patterns.

Rank Eight Spiritual Item—phoenix pearl fruit

"phoenix pearl fruit."

Lin Ming looked at this fruit and was also a little surprised.

He hadn't expected the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce to produce a Rank Eight spiritual item for him so quickly.

It was only used in a few specific types of Medicinal Pills.

This resulted in the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce having basically no stock of sea abyss flowers; they would only commission the Merfolk Clan to harvest them when a customer had such a demand.

But now, the Merfolk Clan's control over the sea abyss flowers was extremely strict, and not a single sea abyss flower could reach their hands.

To this end, he even used his own connections within the Merfolk Clan as well as his wife's connections there to try and get a sea abyss flower, but he was rejected.

This also gave him a piece of information: the matter of the sea abyss flowers was personally handled by the Nirvana Ancestor of the Merfolk Clan.

This information also left him incredibly surprised.

However, he still could not find the reason behind it; there was no way to know.

"If Senior still wants the sea abyss flower, you can start with the Merfolk Clan. The Merfolk Clan will visit Dongchao City in two days."

President Fan Ling continued.

"Oh, is the Merfolk Clan visiting Dongchao City because of the unrest in the Sea Race?"

Lin Ming said.

"I'm afraid so."

President Fan Ling nodded.

Although the intelligence System of their Wanfu Chamber of Commerce had not clearly found the purpose of the Merfolk Clan.

It was most likely for the sake of the Sea Race unrest.

And this time, it wasn't only the Merfolk Clan visiting Dongchao City.

That was what they felt was problematic.

"I understand."

Lin Ming nodded.

"The next transaction will be the same."

A wooden token appeared in Lin Ming's hand and flew in front of President Fan Ling.

President Fan Ling caught the wooden token smoothly.

And Lin Ming's...
