I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

This old man could not be blamed for thinking this way. After all, he had just seen what Wang Mang did to Gong Yang, and had no reason to believe that he would not receive the same treatment next.

If his stall was eliminated too, then Wang Mang would be left with no business competitors in this area.

This was also what the old man was worried about. He no longer had any hope to break through and advance to Tier 5. The only reason he was running his stall was to accumulate resources.

Once he had enough, he would leave the Sacred Emperor Academy, as he wanted to establish a peak-level Tier 4 clan in a remote corner of this world.

This was because he had tried to break through to Tier 5 before, and knew how dangerous it was.

There was a one in ten thousand chance of breaking through to Tier 5 the first time, but after the first failure, the failure rate would multiply!

It was a one in ten thousand chance for the first time, but it was a one in a hundred thousand chance the second time!

This was also the reason why many students were unable to graduate from the Sacred Emperor Academy, and were stuck at the peak of Tier 4. After they tried the first time and failed, almost no one would risk a second attempt, as death was almost certain.

Forget it! After doing business for a little longer, he would leave.

After thinking for a while, the old man had already made a decision in his heart.

He did not want to fight Wang Mang to the death, nor did he want to end up like Gong Yang for the sake of a business.

Of course, Wang Mang did not know what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Wang Mang was just as rhe old man had expected, and naturally would not give up on dealing with the old man. After all, the business world was a dog-eat-dog world!

After Wang Mang set up his stall, he realized that business had improved significantly. Many of Gong Yang’s customers all came to his stall to buy pills instead.

Naturally, the business was split between Wang Mang and the old man.

In just one morning, Wang Mang had successfully sold three Tier 3 pills, low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade, for a total of 500,000 immortal stones!

This meant that he had earned a profit of 150,000 immortal stones!

If this continued, he might be able to accumulate enough immortal stones to evolve multiple times in a row.

Wang Mang successfully made two more deals in the afternoon, selling two types of middle-grade Tier 3 pills worth 200,000 immortal stones.

By the time it was time to close the stall at night, rhe Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor arrived.

After seeing Wang Mang, the two of them felt a little awkward, mainly because they had not expected this outcome either.

Gong Yang had gone crazy, and even killed so many people.

This scared the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor so much that they had not dared to come out until now.

However, after seeing that Wang Mang was fine, they were completely relieved.

“How is it, Brother Wang Mang? Has the matter been resolved?” The Dog Emperor could not help but ask.

As he spoke, he did not forger to look up at the stall next door, which used to be Gotur Ypnsn,

Gong Yang.

After Wang Mang explained the matter to the two of them, the Dog Emperor and Black Bear Emperor finally heaved a sigh of relief. He then tasked them with taking care of the stall tomorrow.

Thus, on the morning of rhe third day, the two of them took over the running of the stall, which gave Wang Mang the time to improve his alchemy skills.

“Watch the stall carefully. Don’t disappoint me!”

After parting their shoulders, Wang Mang prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Wang Mang suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out from the rear entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy.

This familiar voice was none other than the little girl, Tong Xin!

Upon seeing this, Wang Mang’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this little girl had successfully stolen some pill formulas?

Thinking of this, Wang Mang hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Tong Xin’s path, who was stunned at first, but then said excitedly, “Senior, i did it.”

Wang Mang was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Tong Xin to a remote place where there was no one around.

“How many pill formulas did you get?”

Hearing this, she handed the copied pill formulas to Wang Mang and said smugly, “There are five types of pill formulas, three of which are Tier 2 pill formulas, and two of which are Tier 3 pill formulas!”

After reading the pill formula, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction. Giving her a look of approval, he praised her, “Not bad at all! Little girl, you should continue to work hard in the future and steal more pill formulas!”

Upon hearing this, the little girl raised her chin proudly, looking a little smug.

“It was too simple. My sister wasn’t around, so i found these pill formulas in her residence.¹¹

Wang Mang’s eyes lit up, and he could not help but ask, “Did you not find any high-tier pill formulas?”

She shook her head helplessly and said,

“No! My big sister probably hides them somewhere only she knows.”

“It’s alright,” Wang Mang comforted her gently, “i believe you can do it.””

Hearing this, the little girl’s eyes lit up. She looked at Wang Mang and asked expectantly, “If I really manage to steal a high-tier pill formula, will i get a reward?”

Stunned, Wang Mang subconsciously asked, “What kind of reward do you want?”

“No immortal stones though! Don’t even think about it.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Xin snorted unhappily and said, “Why would I want immortal stones? I don’t care about those!”

Wang Mang immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed smile, “That’s good! Speak, but don’t go too far, I’ll try my best to reward you!” Hearing this, Tong Xin’s face turned red. She looked at Wang Mang shyly and said, “Senior, then, can you be my Dao companion?”

“Senior, you’re so evil, so if you become my Dao companion, no one will be able to bully me.”

After saying that, the little girl looked at Wang Mang shyly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Wang Mang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the smile on his face froze..
