No one knows taboo better than me

Chapter 102
"It's done!" Chu Zheng looked at the ten pills in the pill furnace, and was extremely pleasantly surprised.

He did not expect that the first time he refined Zengyuan Pill, he would succeed.

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

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

"This elixir is so easy to refine successfully, why did that old man still think of using human sacrifice?" Chu Zheng looked at the elixir, wondering why the old man was so unwise back then.

"Moreover, I didn't kill anyone during the refining process, and I did it, which means that there is no need to kill people during the refining process of this pill." Thinking of this, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not a psycho, and he doesn't want to kill people if he doesn't have to.

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

As the elixir was swallowed, a burning sensation suddenly appeared in his abdomen.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

Immediately, the aura around him became restless and began to enter his body.

It seemed to form a small loophole, pouring towards his body.

After eating the Zengyuan Pill, the blood qi produced in the body merged with the spiritual qi, and continuously became true qi, which was absorbed by the tattoo on the back.

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

"Huh..." After a while, Chu Zheng opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.

He looked at his arm, the white color had almost faded at this time.

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

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng smiled, began to seal the pills with wax pills, and continued to refine pills.

Zengyuan Pill, this kind of elixir, cannot be taken quickly in a short period of time, otherwise, it will have little effect.

So he didn't plan to continue taking the pill, and he was going to wait for a while before the medicine took effect.

Four hours later, Chu Zheng stared blankly at the pill furnace in front of him.

At this time, the inside of the alchemy furnace was full of black ash.

This is already the 15th Zengyuan Pill he has refined.

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

Chu Zheng couldn't understand why the alchemy went so smoothly the first time, but he couldn't make it in the next round.

Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, he doubted life.

"It should be related to some subtle things." Chu Zheng recalled the whole process of his alchemy, and did not find any mistakes in himself.

Every time he concocted alchemy, he always followed the alchemy formula.

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

Then he put the thought behind him.

It was a bit of a coincidence that someone died when he was refining alchemy.

At this moment, Chu Zheng saw that the sky was approaching dusk, and 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 courtyard.

After going out, he saw couplets pasted on the front of many houses.

At this time, Chu Zheng suddenly realized that the end of the new year was approaching.

"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 not bad.

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

Not long after, he arrived near the Four Seas Building.

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

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

Once here, Chu Zheng saw that half of the street was covered with red lanterns, and the road surface 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 greeted him, bowed and said, "Guest officer, do you have a reservation?"

"I was invited by Xu Rong and Xu Butou to attend Wen Tong's banquet." Chu Zheng replied.

Hearing his words, the young man gave him a surprised look.

He also knew that Wen Tong sentenced everyone to a banquet, and he also knew that it was related to a recent case.

But he couldn't connect this banquet with such a brat like Chu Zheng.

"Maybe Xu Butou lifts up the younger generation." The young man thought in his heart.

But even though he thought so in his heart, he kept his face calm and said to Chu Zheng with a smile: "Guest officer, please come with me."

After speaking, he led Chu Zheng to go upstairs.

Along the way, Chu Zheng saw many high profile customers drinking and chatting.

Among them, there are heroes, merchants, and some princes of aristocratic families.

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

Surrounded by the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music, as well as the melodious libretto of the singer.

Chu Zheng used to think that the entertainment of ancient people was much worse than modern times.But now, it seems that he has underestimated the ancient times a little bit.

Apart from the absence of the Internet, the people here are nowhere happier than the modern general public.

"Brother Chu, you're finally here!" While Chu Zheng was observing the surrounding scene, a figure greeted him immediately at the stairway.

Chu Zheng looked over and saw Xu Rong who had changed into a costume.

"Brother Xu, I forgot the time during my cultivation, I'm sorry." Chu Zheng said apologetically 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 still very worried that Chu Zheng would miss him, so he planned to go to Chu Zheng's house and call Chu Zheng.

Now seeing Chu Zheng coming over, he felt relieved.

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

Then, the two came to an independent hall.

As Xu Rong closed the door, the sound outside suddenly became much less.

In the hall, many people have already been seated, there are people from the Jianghu, and there are nobles in fine clothes.

There are so many different things.

And when they saw Chu Zheng, they were all taken aback, and then someone showed contempt.

He was just a young man, and he did not pose any threat to them.

Some people even looked at Chu Zheng with contempt.

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

Chu Zheng didn't pay 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, some police officers greeted Chu Zheng.

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

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

"Brother Chu should seize this opportunity." Yan Fang said to Chu Zheng with a smile.

Chu Zheng smiled and nodded in response.

Then, everyone started talking.

Inevitably, the case of Li Ming was mentioned.

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

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

Not long after, the door was opened again, and a young man with a resolute expression came out from the outside.

The young man's face was cut like a knife, with sharp edges and corners, thick brows, and cold eyes.

As soon as this person came in, the arena suddenly fell silent.

"It's... Chen Ming from a hundred households with jade men." Xu Rong whispered beside Chu Zheng.

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

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

When the other party chased and killed the spy later, he was also there.

Moreover, at the beginning, Chen Ming did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and revealed some news in the city, so that he could prepare firewood in advance and survived.

Chen Ming naturally didn't notice Chu Zheng.

Moreover, even if they saw Chu Zheng, they would not recognize that the other party was the beggar back then.

After Chen Ming came in, he didn't care about the quiet atmosphere in the venue at all, but walked to the top table by himself, and ate peanuts on his own.

It's just that when he was eating peanuts, his eyes glanced at everyone from time to time. There was no emotion in his eyes, but for some reason, the people here felt restless.

The atmosphere in the arena became slightly quieter, and the voices of everyone chatting were much quieter.

"This is the power of a jade man." Yan Fang sighed softly, "Even if it's just a hundred households, sitting in front of this city full of nobles, these nobles dare not even speak loudly, for fear of being targeted."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng also nodded slightly.

This is the second time he has seen the power of the beautiful man.

At the same time, there was a slight movement in his heart.

If he becomes a beautiful person and holds power, it will be easier to deal with Fengyulou.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a beautiful woman entered the room holding various dishes and began to serve them.

Plates of delicacies were served on the dining table.

All of a sudden, because of the hot food, the steam rose up, spicy, salty, and various aromas intersected in the air, and then leaked out through the gap in the window.

People within a mile or two can smell this fragrance.

Chu Zheng looked at the dishes on the table, and finally understood why Sihailou was able to be number one in Qamdo Prefecture.

In this dish, there are those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, and those that swim in the water.

Even, even beef.

Chu Zheng looked at a plate of spicy beef three treasures and sighed in his heart.

After being introduced by Xu Rong next to him, the three treasures of beef are made of beef tongue, beef heart and tripe.

When making it, put fried celery on the bottom, and then put the marinated beef three treasures in special spicy ingredients and cook them, and put them into a large bowl together with the spicy ingredients.

When putting it in, there are still some skills. The meat must come out of the surface of the soup, so that people who eat vegetables must see the meat.

After that, put dried chili, Chaotian pepper, minced garlic, vine pepper, and chopped green onion on it, pour oil on it, and it's done.

Chu Zheng sighed in his heart when he heard Xu Rong's words.

This kind of dish, even in his previous life, was a big dish, and he couldn't make it without a day's work.

It's not a small project just to make stewed three treasures of beef.

At this time, Chu Zheng didn't know why he thought of those poor people he met in the West District.

For those poor people, not to mention rice, even the cheaper wheat and wheat flakes are difficult to eat.

"Huh..." Chu Zheng exhaled lightly, his eyes lowered slightly, he stopped thinking about those things, and started eating meat.
