After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 596 Seeking Truth from Facts

At midnight, under the moonlight, Shen Xu arrived at the workshop area of ​​Dan Ding City.

The workshop area is located downstream of Danding City, and the entire area is neatly and uniformly planned, like a giant chessboard.

The wide main road is wide enough to accommodate large transport vehicles side by side, and the road is paved with solid black granite, which shines smoothly in the moonlight.

The entire workshop area is surrounded by thick, massive walls, which partially isolate the roar and heat waves inside.

But the most eye-catching thing in the whole area is the “Yuan Dan Furnace Cauldron” that can be seen from a distance, resembling a huge furnace. It is a magnificent crystallization created by weapon refiners, array pattern masters, and alchemists.

The furnace body is made of alternating layers of dark red and grayish-white materials, and its surface is covered with complex runes that constantly flicker and flow.

The furnace continuously emitted a nearly transparent, colorless stream of air carrying a faint heat wave.

Perhaps for this reason, a layer of pale golden haze, slightly distorted by the air, often hangs over the workshop area, especially noticeable at dusk.

Therefore, that kind of mist and haze is also known as Danxia.

Since the Pill Saint created the formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill, this formula, which can directly refine impure primordial stones into pills with an equal amount of primordial energy, has become the core foundation of the Pill Alliance.

The Yuan Dan Furnace and Cauldron rapidly extended the standards of the Pill Alliance to the entire human territory in the void.

From then on, there was no longer a distinction between superior, middle, and inferior Yuan Stones in the human territory; only the quantity of Yuan Stones remained, and the concentration of Yuan Qi within the Yuan Stones was comparable to that of superior Yuan Stones.

Currently, only top-grade elemental stones can be considered irreplaceable.

Shen Xu was going to a special workshop located on the outskirts of the workshop area.

"Senior, you've followed me for so long. Would you be willing to witness the outcome of this matter with me?" Shen Xu shouted loudly into the surrounding void.

Seeing that there was still no movement around him, Shen Xu smiled and said, "Senior, you don't need to think I'm lying to you. Ye Liufeng is worried about me, but he also knows that cultivators in the Yuan Dan realm can't keep an eye on me."

It's easy to guess what he'll choose.

"They all say that it's ridiculous for Fengyulou to let a greenhorn from the Qi Sea take charge of the Ming Pavilion in Dancheng. Now it seems that the rumors are not entirely true."

"I think what they said is quite accurate," Shen Xu said with a smile.

"At least 'naive' isn't quite the right word; at least you know what you're going to do." Elder Huang's figure appeared beside Shen Xu.

Sensing the dimming of the city's light, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what the kid in front of him had done.

"This junior greets the senior!" Shen Xu bowed.

"No need for formalities. Take me there and let me see what the result was when you handed it over to the Hall of Law Enforcement."

……

The workshops in the workshop area are primarily practical, with thick walls engraved with numerous constraint patterns, and light subtly flowing within the wall patterns.

Walking through the workshop, you can feel the continuous, deep rumble and vibration coming from the ground beneath your feet.

That is the life source of the workshop area—the Earth Fire Spirit-Attracting Array.

The formation extends deep into the earth's veins, guiding the raging power of the earth's fire upwards. Through a network of fire veins spread throughout the ground, composed of specially designed pipes and runes, the fire is precisely delivered to the furnaces in every workshop that requires a fire.

The workshops were not empty spaces, but were filled with a huge network of crisscrossing pipes.

Pipes shimmering with various runes meander along the massive support structure, like the roots of the workshop area, connecting the various workshops.

Meanwhile, in a workshop located on the outskirts of the workshop area, Ye Liufeng was carefully examining everything in the workshop with a gloomy expression, but he still couldn't find what he wanted.

Suppressing his anger, Ye Liufeng approached the young man who was being forced to kneel and asked, "Why did you steal the firefly grass?"

"In order to extract luciferin from firefly grass,

Seeing so many fireflies lying around unattended today, I got the idea to do something wicked.

"Besides, I was the one who bought up large quantities of firefly grass before, and the luminescent pigments I extracted in the workshop can prove it." The young man spoke without any fear.

"Then why did you set it on fire!" Ye Liufeng asked through gritted teeth.

"Because of jealousy, why should I be forbidden from buying a little firefly grass, while others buy so much firefly grass and you don't care? That's not fair!"

"Nonsense! You were clearly trying to illegally refine Nourishing Essence Pills. Take you back and interrogate you thoroughly," Ye Liufeng said sternly.

"Haha! This is the Enforcement Hall of Dan Ding City. If they can't get the information they want, they'll resort to torture, huh!" The young man laughed loudly.

"Pah!" The young man spat on Ye Liufeng.

"You're asking for death!" Ye Liufeng kicked the young man away.

"Ye Liufeng, have you gone mad!" Yu Xing immediately went to check on the young man's condition and frantically stuffed extremely precious healing pills into his mouth.

But the young man spat out all the healing pills mixed with fragments of internal organs and blood.

"This is... the Hall of Enforcement..." The young man clutched his chest, which was stained red with blood, and gave a bleak smile before losing all life.

Ye Liufeng's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. He had been set up.

At this time, people from the workshop area also arrived at the workshop here.

The leading alchemist rushed to the young man's side in a great hurry. After checking the young man's condition, his anger was almost overflowing.

He approached Ye Liufeng with a grim expression. "The Enforcement Hall must give us an explanation for this matter."

"This is entirely my fault, and has nothing to do with the Enforcement Hall," Ye Liufeng said calmly.

"Fine! One person does the deed, one person takes the blame, huh! Take him down!" the Grand Alchemist shouted sternly.

Just as the people from the Pill Alliance were trying to subdue Ye Liufeng, Elder Huang suddenly heard a sound outside.

"Master Liu, please wait. There are still many doubts about this matter, and we should not be too hasty."

"Huang Wan, your men killed the alchemists of the Pill Alliance. So many people witnessed it. Tell me, what are the suspicious points?" Liu An said coldly.

"What if the alchemist who died was already seriously injured, and thus took this opportunity to deliberately frame Captain Ye?" Shen Xu asked.

"Who are you?" Liu An looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he looked familiar.

"I am the new owner of Feng's Pharmacy. Uncle Qian once took me to visit you, Senior Liu," Shen Xu said, bowing.

"So it was you. Since you are Brother Qian's successor, why are you siding with the Hall of Law Enforcement?"

"I never take sides; I'm just stating the facts."

The younger generation neither wants this alchemist to suffer an injustice nor wants to see Captain Ye framed.

"So, could you two please calm down and allow me to examine that alchemist's original physical condition?"

Liu An hesitated for a moment, then said, "I trust your uncle's reputation and can give you this opportunity."

"I also hope that you can give Liufeng justice and a satisfactory answer to the Enforcement Hall," Huang Wan said at this moment.

"This junior thanks you both for your trust," Shen Xu said with a smile and a bow.
