Attending the Banquet

"It's done!" Chu Zheng looked at the ten pills in the pill furnace and was extremely surprised.

He did not expect that the first time he refined the Zeng Yuan Dan, he would make it.

Moreover, there are no black impurities on the surface of the ten pills inside.

These are obviously all finished pills, not low-grade pills.

"This elixir is so easy to successfully refine. Why did the old man still think of using human sacrifice?" Chu Zheng looked at the elixir and wondered why the old man was so unwise.

"Moreover, I didn't kill anyone during the refining process, and it was made. It means that there is no need to kill people during the refining process of this elixir." Chu Zheng thought of this and felt relieved.

He is not a pervert, and he doesn't want to kill anyone unless necessary.

"Try one first." Chu Zheng took out a warm elixir from the elixir furnace and swallowed it.

As he swallowed the pill, a burning sensation suddenly appeared in his abdomen.

Upon seeing this, Chu Zheng immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice meditation.

The surrounding spiritual energy immediately became restless and began to enter his body.

It seemed as if a small loophole was formed, pouring towards his body.

After eating the Zengyuan Pill, the blood energy produced in the body merges with the spiritual energy, and continuously becomes true energy, which is absorbed by the tattoo on the back.

The pale color on his body began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Huh..." After a long while, Chu Zheng opened his eyes and breathed out softly.

He looked at his arm, and the white color had almost faded away.

If this continues, he will recover in about two or three days.

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng smiled, started to seal the elixir in wax pills, and continued to refine the elixir.

Zengyuan Dan, this kind of elixir, cannot be taken quickly in a short period of time, otherwise, it will have almost no effect.

Therefore, he was not going to continue taking the elixir, and was going to wait until the effect of the medicine had passed for a while.

Four hours later, Chu Zheng looked blankly at the alchemy furnace in front of him.

At this time, the inside of the alchemy furnace was completely filled with black ash.

This is already the 15th batch of Yuan-Zeng Dan that he has refined.

Except for the successful refining of the first furnace, the remaining 14 furnaces were all wasted.

Chu Zheng couldn't understand why the first time he made the elixir so smoothly, but he couldn't make it in the next one.

He sat in front of the alchemy furnace, somewhat doubting life.

"It should have something to do with some subtle things." Chu Zheng thought back on his entire alchemy process and found no mistakes on his part.

Every time he made an elixir, he always followed the recipe.

"Is it possible that there are still people dead around here?" An idea suddenly popped up in Chu Zheng's mind.

Then he put the thought out of his mind.

It was a bit too coincidental that someone died while he was refining the elixir.

At this moment, Chu Zheng saw that the sky was approaching dusk, and he suddenly remembered that it was already afternoon and it was time to go to the banquet.

Then, Chu Zheng packed up the alchemy furnace and the remaining medicinal materials and walked out of the hospital.

After going out, he saw couplets already posted on the front doors of many homes.

At this moment, Chu Zheng suddenly realized that it was almost the New Year's Eve.

"Have you been in this world for so long?" He was slightly touched in his heart.

However, in this life, he has relatives by his side, which is good.

Chu Zheng shook his head, stopped thinking about some things, and walked towards Sihai Tower.

Not long after, he arrived near Sihai Tower.

Sihailou, Sihai refers to the world, and also means bold and open-minded. It is a restaurant founded by Shu Hong, a famous businessman in the world.

The restaurant occupies half a street in Qamdo Prefecture and is extremely luxurious.

As soon as he arrived here, Chu Zheng saw that half of the street was covered with red lanterns, and the road was clearly illuminated, which made him feel like he had returned to the night market in his previous life.

When he arrived near the restaurant, a young man came up to him, bowed and said, "Sir, can you reserve a table?"

"I was invited by Captain Xu Rongxu to attend Wen Tongpan's banquet," Chu Zheng replied.

After hearing his words, the young man looked at him in surprise.

He also knew that Wen Tongpan entertained everyone at a banquet, and he also knew that it was related to a recent case.

But he couldn't connect this banquet with a young boy like Chu Zheng.

"Perhaps Xu Baotou will lift up the younger generation." The young man thought in his mind.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he remained calm on his face, smiled and said to Chu Zheng, "Please come with me, sir."

After saying that, he led Chu Zheng upstairs.

Along the way, Chu Zheng saw many wealthy people drinking and chatting.

Among them, there are heroes, merchants, and some young men from aristocratic families.

In addition, there are some women who accompany these people and drink with them.

There are also the sounds of silk and bamboo wind instruments and the melodious lyrics of the singer.

Chu Zheng used to think that the entertainment of ancient people was much worse than that of modern people. But now it seems that he looks down on ancient times.

Except for the fact that there is no Internet, people here have more fun than the general public in modern times.

"Brother Chu, you are finally here!" While Chu Zheng was observing the surrounding scene, a figure immediately came up to him at the top of the stairs.

Chu Zheng looked around and saw Xu Rong who had changed into a fancy dress.

"Brother Xu, I forgot the time while practicing, I'm sorry." Chu Zheng apologized to Xu Rong.

"It's okay, it's okay, just come. And the banquet hasn't started yet." Xu Rong shook his head.

Originally, he was worried that Chu Zheng would miss him, so he planned to go to Chu Zheng's house to call Chu Zheng.

Now that I saw Chu Zheng coming, I felt relieved.

Xu Rong led Chu Zheng through the hall, came to a door, and pushed the door open.

Then, the two of them came to an independent hall.

As Xu Rong closed the door, the sounds outside suddenly became much quieter.

Many people were already sitting in the hall. There were people from all walks of life, as well as nobles in fine clothes.

To name a few.

When they saw Chu Zheng, they were all startled, and then some showed contempt.

He is just a young man and poses no threat to them.

Some people even looked at Chu Zheng with a look of contempt.

They didn't understand how Chu Zheng, who was dressed so ordinary, came here.

Chu Zheng didn't pay too much attention to the sight of these people. He followed Xu Rong and found a place to sit down.

"Brother Chu, long time no see." After entering the position, a police officer greeted Chu Zheng.

These people had met Chu Zheng before, so they naturally knew him.

Chu Zheng was also here and met Ma Heng, Ma Yong's cousin.

"Brother Chu, please take advantage of this opportunity." Yan Fang said to Chu Zheng with a smile.

Chu Zheng smiled and nodded in response.

Then, everyone started talking.

Inevitably, Li Ming's case was mentioned.

According to everyone, there is still no progress in the case.

Obviously, Xu Rong kept the progress of the case confidential.

Not long after, the door was opened again, and a young man with a resolute look walked out.

This young man's face is as sharp as a knife, with sharp edges, thick brows, and cold eyes.

As soon as this person came in, the place suddenly became quiet.

"It's... Chen Ming, the man with the beauties." Xu Rong whispered beside Chu Zheng.

Hearing Xu Rong's words, Chu Zheng nodded slightly.

Naturally, he recognized the other party. When he was outside the city, he had seen the other party calling the door.
