Duan Ping, who was somewhat at a loss, asked subconsciously.

"Then what should I do?"

Wang Yu saw this and comforted him.

"Don't worry, you can't escape responsibility, and neither can I. I came to you for this matter. Can you let me meet the True Master in person?"

"Good good."

Duan Ping agreed without saying a word, and after asking for some details, he hurriedly left the Bingxue Tower.

Lan Ji saw it and asked curiously.

"What happened to him? He seems to be frightened."

"Small things."

Wang Yu didn't say much and quickly returned to the ordinary cave in the Evil God Square.

While waiting for notification, I was also practicing and planning silently.

This wait lasted another half a month.

Instead of waiting for the news I had thought of, an unexpected guest came to my door. I couldn't help but sigh that things were happening at the same time, and I was so busy that I didn't even have time to breathe.

The person who came was Zhou Tao!
Considering the Alchemist Association, Wang Yu could guess the other party's purpose to some extent.

"Brother Wang, how are you?"

"I heard that you have been back for a while. Why don't you go to the association? After all, this is the association you built with your own efforts."

Zhou Tao came to visit alone, and he even had a gift in his hand, which he did not put in the storage bag.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu looked unhappy.

He also considered the people he interacted with based on their background. For people like Liu Jinxian and Zhuo Shouqing who came from prominent families, he would behave himself like a subordinate.

Zhou Tao has the ninth level of Qi training, but in his eyes he is a fool who doesn't know what he is doing and can't see his own position.

Therefore, speaking is very impolite.

"Why, are you in trouble? The society is my hard work? I see you are doing a great job, why do you come to see me?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tao did not feel embarrassed and kept smiling.

"Yes, it's my problem."

"However, I do need your help with something. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect."

He placed the basket on the table. Inside was some of the more high-end spiritual food and pastries in the market. They were not cheap, and there was also a storage bag at the bottom.

Wang Yu took it out and glanced at it with his spiritual sense.

Wow, there are at least 20,000 spirit stones. This number is comparable to most of his fortune. It can be seen that the trouble he encountered is not small.

Putting the storage bag back into the basket, Wang Yu said:

"Tell me what it is. I may not be able to help you."

Zhou Tao nodded and quickly explained what had happened recently. Generally speaking, it was similar to what he had guessed before. Pills were a monopoly business, and they were owned by the alchemy hall opened by the sect.

It was originally a small association of four people, and the pills they produced did not flow into the market. Instead, they entered the Ice and Snow Tower and were digested by some inner disciples. It did not cause any splash, highlighting its low profile.

Since Zhou Tao took over the association, he still cooperated with Zhao Shang in the first year and even kept the dividends given to Wang Yu.

But over time, Zhou Tao's ambition began to sprout. He wanted to expand the number of members of the association, increase the output of elixirs, and make more profits from it.

Zhao Shang disagreed, so what happened three years ago happened, and someone reported Zhao Shang for being a traitor. This gave Lan Ji the opportunity to come to the fore.

The two reached a new cooperation. Using Lan Ji's identity, Zhou Tao expanded the channels to other true buildings of Hanxuefang, taking the low-price route.

The number of members of the association continued to expand, eventually exceeding a hundred.

The production capacity has been greatly improved. Some individuals have violated the rules set by Zhou Tao and privately sold low-priced pills to their fellow disciples in the name of association.

This move disrupted the stable pricing of the sect's elixirs.

It attracted a large number of low-level monks, who took the initiative to buy cheap pills from them.

At this time, another group of people, relying on Zhou Tao's connections, couldn't resist the temptation of the spirit stones and were bewitched, thus causing a small group of people to become the majority.

The expansion of the private market, in turn, led to the downfall of all the members of the association, including Zhou Tao himself, who were unable to withstand the large amount of spirit stones that flowed in and out every day.

Completely ignored the rules set by Wang Yu earlier.

The snowball kept getting bigger and bigger, and finally reached a critical point. At this time, Lan Ji was scared. She didn't dare to make any more money, so she took the initiative to break off her relationship with Zhou Tao.

These people in the association value money more than their lives.

The channels for true transmission were gone, but the market for lower-level fellow disciples grew bigger and bigger, eventually leading to some people being caught by the Law Enforcement Hall while conducting private transactions.

This kind of behavior is expressly prohibited in the sect's rules.

During the call, Zhou Tao spoke in great detail, not even hiding the parts that were unfavorable to Wang Yu. Instead, he chose to tell everything. It seemed that he was really panicked.

No wonder he was willing to spend 20,000 spirit stones to seek help from him. He was desperate.

After listening quietly, Wang Yu sighed.

"I can't help you. When Lan Ji left the stage, you should have realized that Su Zhenchuan couldn't save her, at least that's how she thought.

"Why do you dare to continue doing this?"

Zhou Tao slapped the table unwillingly, his face extremely gloomy: "Brother Wang, I can give you 30% of the profit, help me this time."

"I know you have connections in the Law Enforcement Hall. You were the one who was behind the Xu's Alchemy Shop incident. Zhou can see that."

"As long as we can get those arrested people out and keep it a secret from the Law Enforcement Hall for now, the Alchemist Society will be disbanded overnight!"

Wang Yu glanced at him speechlessly.

"It's too late. Do you really think they don't know? They are just waiting for you to get fat. You are too thin...you can't eat enough."

The members of the Alchemist Association came from the bottom of the Nixue Ten Workshops. Those bottom-level alchemists who had difficulty making a name for themselves were probably being targeted by many people.

What can Wang Yu do? He is not the sect leader.

The words were spoken very bluntly. Zhou Tao was not stupid, otherwise he would not have insisted on abiding by the rules he set. It was a pity that he was still dazzled by the large amounts of spirit stones.

After all, knowing is one thing, but practicing it is the key.

Everyone understands the big principles, but not everyone can become a saint. This is the bad nature of human beings, and it is hard to avoid!

Maybe the last hope is shattered.

Zhou Tao turned ferocious, and the aura of the ninth level of Qi training pressed down on him, threatening:

"You must help me, Wang Yu. Don't forget that you are the true founder of the Alchemist Association. If I tell the people in the Law Enforcement Hall about your collusion with Zhao Shang, will they deal with you as well?!"

Wang Yu slammed the table and stood up, without concealing the aura of the late stage of Qi training, and confronted Zhou Tao head-on.

"you dare?!!"

"Ah--

"I'm going to die soon, why should I be afraid?"

Not everyone has the same escape route as Zhao Shang, at least Zhou Tao doesn't. Under the threat of death, he can do anything.

Wang Yu hated this kind of coercion the most. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. It was a group of people's greed that caused the trouble, and he didn't get any benefits. Why should he clean up the mess?

Zhou Tao was somewhat shocked when he noticed Wang Yu's strength at the seventh level of Qi training. After all, he had three spiritual roots and had a lot of resources to support him, but it still took him more than fifty years to break through to the ninth level of Qi training.
