Chapter 73: This is Simply Stealing Money
“Do you know him?” Xu Xiaoxuan looked at Zhou Ping suspiciously.
“I just saw him outside.” Zhou Ping nodded. “This man is very proud! Are you planning to cooperate with him?”
“Why not?” Xu Xiaoxuan smiled. “For us, money doesn’t really matter, but we must get the power. If we don’t participate in this matter, we don’t know how many powerful people will be created. There will always be so many people who don’t know the difference between the sky and the Earth and will go crazy.
“Especially those nouveau riche. They will get self-inflated one by one. This is not a good thing for the common people. After all, nouveau riche are rampant, but they can’t afford to offend the real powerful. In order to satisfy their inflated mentality, these people often do or unconsciously insult the common people.”
“This is what Cao Cao once said, “If it weren’t for me, I don’t know how many people will be king.” Zhou Ping nodded.
“Aping, you don’t seem to have a good impression of him?” Xu Xiaoxuan showed a gossip expression. “Aping, you are also called a peerless genius, and Zhang Bufan is also called a peerless genius. Could it be you…”
“What am I?” Zhou Ping smiled and shook his head. “A guy who hasn’t even broken through the seven major barriers is also worthy of being called a peerless genius?”
“That’s right, Aping. You have been tested.” Xu Xiaoxuan’s eyes looked at Zhou Ping. “But don’t underestimate others. The benefits of Ethereal Water are so huge that it is crazy. According to our investigation, there had been more than a hundred and fifty attempts of kidnappings and assassinations after the release of the Ethereal Water.”
“More than one hundred and fifty? Within a week? Doesn’t it mean that he did nothing in a week and just waited to be assassinated and kidnapped?” Zhou Ping had the final say. On average, he would suffer more than 20 a day. Wasn’t he being assassinated even when eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet?
“So you can’t underestimate Zhang Bufan.” Xu Xiaoxuan nodded. “None of them survived. They were all beaten to death by Zhang Bufan, without any exception.”
“Interesting.” Zhou Ping smiled.
At this moment, Zhang Bufan, who was originally quiet and lowkey, walked to the center of the private room.
“Everyone…” Zhang Bufan looked around the audience. The sound wasn’t loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears, showing a powerful inner strength cultivation. It’s just that most people were drunk, and no one cared about Zhang Bufan.
“Hehe, this is not the way to talk about things.” Zhang Bufan didn’t get angry when he saw that no one paid any attention. He nodded to Young Master Wu behind him. Young Master Wu immediately understood.
Young Master Wu took out a kettle. This kind of kettle was the kind of military kettle that one carried during the march. It looked small, but its capacity was amazing.
Picking up some disposable paper cups from the table, Young Master Wu poured some water from the kettle to the paper cup.
“Come on, take a sip and try.” Young Master Wu took the paper cup to a drunk and very powerful Yanping nobleman with a smile.
“What’s this?” the man asked dimly.
“It’s fun. You will know after you take a sip.” Young Master Wu passed the paper cup.
The guy who was already drunk and didn’t have a clear consciousness. He heard Young Master Wu say that that was a good thing and didn’t hesitate to drink it.
“Good?”
Only a few seconds after drinking the water, the guy’s originally blurred drunk eyes began to become sober. “What is this? It tastes good. Give me another cup.” The guy stretched out the paper cup.
Young Master Wu’s smile grew bigger, and he poured some more for him.
“That’s it? It’s not even enough to moisturize the throat.” The guy looked at the water in the paper cup, muttered, and drank again.
Blegh!
The guy let out a wine burp without any smell, but with a delicate fragrance instead. The spirits of the people around who smelled this scent were shocked.
“What is this? Give me a drink too,” several people asked.
“This is a good thing. As for the name, you’ll know it later. You can try it all first.” Young Master Wu poured several paper cups in succession, each with only a thin layer of water.
Those few people took the paper cup and finished it in one gulp. After drinking, a few drunk people suddenly sobered up.
“This, what is this? Am I not drunk? Why do I now feel that I am so clear.”
“Fantastic, what is this? I also feel sober.”
“Drink it well. It’s better than the top wine.”
For a while, the kettle in Young Master Wu’s hand became the focus. Young Master Wu poured a glass of that magical water for every powerful person in Yanping. Even Zhou Ping had a share. After drinking it, all the drunk people regained consciousness.
Zhou Ping did not rush to drink, but glanced at Xu Xiaoxuan.
“What kind of ethereal water is this?” Zhou Ping asked.
“Yes, the person who was sent to inquire brought back some Ethereal Water. I drank it and it was really good.” Xu Xiaoxuan drank the ethereal water in one sip. “Um… comfortable. The ethereal water brought by Zhang Bufan this time is much better than what is sold on the market.”
Zhou Ping looked at the ethereal water in his hand and smelled it first. A fresh fragrance entered Zhou Ping’s nose.
“Ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum… are some common medicinal materials. Huh? No, it seems… one of them is…” The raw materials used in the ethereal water flashed through Zhou Ping’s mind one by one. Basically, they were all common medicinal materials, but Zhou Ping was a little uncertain.
Lifting the paper cup, Zhou Ping took a sip. “It’s a blue blood flower.”
The blue blood flower in Zhou Ping’s mouth was a kind of plant that lives in extremely cold places. This kind of flower was also a treasure of martial arts, but the quantity was not so scarce, and it had been artificially cultivated.
“Although blue blood flowers can indeed nourish the body, the effect is not so strong, and it requires long-term consumption. Although other medicinal materials are also supplements, they are common medicinal materials that can be bought in any pharmacy.”
These things are all ordinary. But when combined together, they had incredible results. Even an old genius doctor couldn’t do this kind of thing. This… was the ability of the alchemist.
Zhou Ping’s pupils were slightly widened, revealing a hint of excitement.
“Zhang Bufan is an alchemist? Or is there an alchemist behind him? I didn’t expect to meet an alchemist after learning alchemy today.
“This kind of Ethereal Water is just the elixir that the alchemist dissolves in water. Moreover, the concentration is very low. I am afraid that it is at least a few tons of water to incorporate an elixir.
“The medicinal materials used on this one are ordinary. Even the only precious medicine blue blood flower in it is cheap and mass produced. Moreover, a single elixir can produce several tons of ethereal water. According to Xu Xiaoxuan, this effect is much higher than those sold outside.
“In other words, the ethereal water sold outside has a lower concentration. This is simply stealing money!” Zhou Ping stared at the energetic Zhang Bufan as his thoughts turned.
