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

Chapter 592 Past Exam Questions

Just after Shen Xu and the woman agreed on a meeting place for the evening, two enforcers dressed in the armor of the Enforcement Hall arrived beside him.

"Please come with us. We suspect you are connected to people who have recently disrupted the order in Dan City."

"Do you even know who I am? How dare you come and arrest me?" Shen Xu sneered.

“We don’t care who you are, don’t force me to take action,” one of the law enforcement officers said coldly.

Shen Xu kicked the law enforcement officer in front of him away. "Open your dog eyes and look! I am a special envoy dispatched by the Dingyuan Avenue Law Enforcement Hall, and I have the authority to handle this matter in Dan City. Ye Liufeng works under me."

"You've come to arrest me, but did your leader agree to it?"

His actions immediately drew wide-eyed stares from the surrounding merchants and residents, plunging the area into an eerie silence.

They've been here for so long, and beatings are quite common, but this is the first time they've seen someone dare to kick a law enforcement officer.

Who exactly is this person?

The two law enforcement officers were clearly surprised by the young man's aggression, and what he said sent a chill down their spines, leaving them momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"We apologize, sir. We didn't sleep well last night, so we didn't open our dog eyes to see your identity clearly."

"Please, sir, have mercy on us this time." Another law enforcement officer hurriedly apologized.

"You've got some sense! I'm taking over what you've been keeping an eye on. Remember to mind your own business from now on!"

After Shen Xu finished speaking in a cold voice, he left Dan City directly, leaving a large group of onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.

The woman holding the baby was deeply moved by this scene; she had never imagined that the man was of such high status.

As long as she completes the task assigned to her by that official, Old Ma will definitely be released.

Shen Xu dared to do this for a simple reason: since the person behind him had given him three days, as long as he didn't go too far during those three days, everything would be settled after three days.

Otherwise, it would be better to just lock him up for three days.

In addition, it also serves as information to other vendors that he holds a high position and that they need not fear threats from the law enforcement team, so they can confidently sell all their firefly grass to him.

Based on the price of ten Qi-Nourishing Pills per Firefly Grass, and 30% higher than the market price, that's thirteen Qi-Nourishing Pills per grass. With less than one million Qi-Nourishing Pills in his possession, he could buy at most seven million Firefly Grasses.

He simply couldn't believe that the entire city of Danding could transport so many Firefly Grasses in such a short time.

……

"Damn it! When did it become the business of Dingyuan Avenue to interfere in the affairs of our Dan City!"

"How dare they hit my people! It's unforgivable!"

Inside the law enforcement hall in Dan City, a black-haired young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes smashed the desk in front of him into pieces with a single punch.

“Captain, the organization has indeed entrusted this matter to ‘Dingtang,’ even the most crucial personnel,” a middle-aged man beside him said.

"When? Why don't I know!" the black-haired youth frowned.

"It seems that the order was given personally by the hall master. You weren't in the hall at the time, Captain."

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" The black-haired youth kicked the middle-aged man against the wall.

The middle-aged man clutched his chest and smiled obsequiously, "It was indeed my fault. I should have reported such an important matter the moment you returned."

"Don't let this happen again!" The black-haired youth tossed a bottle of healing medicine to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, Captain." The middle-aged man immediately bowed respectfully.

“I can accept handing things over to ‘Dingtang,’ but this isn’t over yet that he beat up my men.” The black-haired youth’s eyes turned cold.

"You remember you saying Ye Liufeng was his subordinate? That's interesting."

……

On the other side, as soon as Shen Xu returned to Feng's Pharmacy, Manager Wei came to greet him.

"Boss, someone wants to buy our local medicinal herbs and has been waiting here all morning."

Shen Xu was taken aback; he had almost forgotten about the important matter.

Even though Chi Xiaorou stayed on the third floor and refused to come out, she couldn't just not help him in this situation. Otherwise, he would really have to consider whether Fengyu Tower was a worthwhile place to stay.

"I'll go over first, you can bring him here later."

Sitting back in Lao Qian's seat, looking at the lush greenery outside the window, Shen Xu let out a long sigh of relief.

For the first time, he realized how difficult it was to sit in this position, and he gradually began to understand what Lao Qian had said to him at Zuihonglou.

But now that he's in this position, he can't let Lao Qian down, nor can he lose to those who look down on him.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Xu straightened his posture. "Come in!"

Upon seeing the double cauldron pattern on the young man's dark blue robe, one knew he was a true alchemist.

The three white fire patterns on the cuffs indicate that the highest grade of pills he had ever refined was seventh grade, and that was the lowest quality one. Indeed, there are differences among pill refiners.

But to become an alchemist before the age of thirty is already a genius.

In other words, alchemists are not valuable in Dan Ding City. You should know that even in a sixth-rank power, an alchemist is a rare talent.

As for Grand Alchemists, they are beings that even fourth-rank forces would vie for.

"I wonder what this gentleman would like to buy from our pharmacy?" Shen Xu asked.

"I'd like to buy this year's Danby exam questions. Do you have any here?"

"cough~"

Upon hearing this question, Shen Xu almost choked. "Brother, you think too highly of Fengyulou. Even if I knew, I wouldn't sell it to you!"

"I'm sorry, this kind of thing is too sensitive, we don't collect it here."

"I knew it. Do you guys even know when this year's Danby competition starts?"

"I do know that, but are you sure you want to buy it since it's something you'll find out sooner or later?"

"I'm just asking," the young man replied timidly.

Shen Xu took a deep breath. "I think you didn't wait for me at the pharmacy all morning, did you?"

"No, what I really want to buy are the past Danby exam papers. I know you have them here."

"Yes, we do have that. I don't know which year you want, or do you want all of them?"

"How much did the previous year's cost?" the young man asked somewhat nervously.

"Please wait a moment."

Shen Xu put the written note into the drawer under his desk. A short while later, Chi Xiaorou brought him a quote. When he saw the number on it, Shen Xu's eyebrows twitched.

"Most of the previous Danmeng competitions consisted of five questions, and we offered different prices for each question."

The first question is worth five thousand, the second question is worth ten thousand, the third question is worth twenty thousand, and the fourth question is worth fifty thousand. Of course, they are all Nourishing Essence Pills. Shen Xu smiled.

"So expensive!"

"You should have known our style and pricing before you came here."

We won't just give you the problem; we'll also provide you with some of the best solutions from that year's contestants, including even the solutions from the top three. I think that's your real purpose, isn't it?

"What about the price from the previous two years?"

"Sorry, this price has been the same for the last five Danmeng Grand Competitions."

What about five sessions before the last one?

"Price halved!"

However, how much reference value do exam questions from a hundred years ago still hold is something you, the guest, must consider for yourself.

Gritting his teeth, the young man said, "I want the second question from the last five sessions!"

Shen Xu raised an eyebrow, not realizing that this person was a tycoon.

"I must remind you, guest, that what you want is sensitive and precious, so we need you to swear a blood oath not to reveal it to anyone."

"If the guest can accept this, then I can write up our contract," Shen Xu reminded him.

“I understand your rules,” the young man said coldly.

"That's good. I don't know the guest's name; I need to draft a contract."

According to the standards Lao Qian told him, he would receive 10% of the revenue for every piece of intelligence he sold.

In other words, he could get five thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills just by talking, and he could predict that there would be no shortage of alchemists coming to buy the pills.

I have to say, this money is really easy to come by!

No wonder so many people want to sit in his position.

For the first time, Shen Xu had a clear understanding of his location.
