After leaving the attic hall, Qin Feng, who was in a relaxed mood, casually looked around.
It was rumored that the highest-security Nine-Fold Prison was located in the Demon Slaying Department of Imperial City, but after looking around for a long time, Qin Feng didn’t see any similar buildings.
“Brother Qingfeng.” Qin Feng called out.
Zhan Qingfeng, who was leading the way, was shocked when he heard this. Then he turned around and replied with a dry smile, “No need to call me Brother Qingfeng, just call me Little Zhan is fine. By the way, this is the money Brother Qin gave me earlier. I didn’t touch a single coin, and I returned it as is. Besides, this is my own thirty taels.”
“Earlier, I was ignorant of the rules and neglected Brother Qin. Please forgive me,” he added.
This reaction was unexpected for Qin Feng, but after a moment of thought, he understood the reason.
He was the son-in-law of the Liu family, supported by Duke Liu, and the recent conversation had obviously won Chief Deng’s appreciation.
This guy is afraid that I might say something bad about him to someone influential. Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, realizing that anyone who could stay in the capital’s Demon Slaying Department for seven years must be quite cunning.
“Hey, Little Zhan, take this money back. Consider it a token of our friendship! I’ve only been in Imperial City for a short time. If there’s anything I don’t understand or need help with in the future, I won’t hesitate to ask,” Qin Feng said with a smile.
After carefully assessing Qin Feng’s expression and making sure that there was no danger, Zhan Qingfeng put the money bag back into the Demon Slayer Token and gratefully said, “Brother Qin, no need for such words. If you need me for anything in the future, I will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation!”“Okay, okay. By the way, everyone says that the Nine-Fold Prison is located in the capital, Imperial City. Why haven’t I seen it all the way here?” Qin Feng asked.
Zhan Qingfeng promptly replied, “Brother Qin, you might not know, but the Nine-Fold Prison is divided into nine levels, and inside it are heinous criminals or demonic spirits who will unleash terrifying powers after death. Once they regain their freedom, they will undoubtedly cause incalculable damage to the Great Qian.”
“Therefore, the Nine-Fold Prison cannot be built in the open like ordinary prisons. Instead, it is located…”
He pointed down.
“Underground?” Qin Feng asked in surprise.
“Yes. Although the Nine-Fold Prison is under the Demon Slaying Department, it is not under their jurisdiction, but rather under the Prison Division.”
“Every time there’s a need to escort prisoners or demonic spirits, personnel from the Prison Division will personally lead the team and activate the seal to open the entrance to the Nine-Fold Prison.”
“I’ve had the privilege of witnessing this once, and I can only say that it’s magnificent. The shadow of the Nine-Fold Prison materializes, and after the prisoner is pushed into it, the shadow returns underground,” Zhan Qingfeng recalled with a fascinated expression.
“Since the Nine-Fold Prison houses formidable beings, aren’t you afraid that the prisoners or demonic spirits might escape during the escort? Can the prison division alone be foolproof?” Qin Feng asked curiously.
Lan Ningshuang on the side also nodded in agreement.
“Brother Qin has just arrived. So it’s normal that you don’t know. The Prison Division is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.”
“Those who can enter the Prison Division are not ordinary people, their strength must be at least at the level of thirty-six stars. Among them, the best are not inferior to even the Twelve Divine Generals of the Demon Slaying Department,” Zhan Qingfeng explained.
“Moreover, some of them may have been former Divine Generals!”
“Why do you say ‘may have’? The Twelve Divine Generals of the Demon Slaying Department are famous throughout the Great Qian, and many people should recognize their faces. Can’t you tell at a glance?”
Zhan Qingfeng shook his finger, “Once you decide to join the Prison Division, you have to give up your identity and family just to protect Emperor Ming and the Nine Fold Prison.”
“It is precisely because of this rule that those who enter the Prison Division will wear white masks as their code names, cutting all ties with their past.”
Qin Feng frowned; giving up his identity and becoming a stranger to his family was something he couldn’t accept.
If it were him, even if the Prison Division offered great privileges, he would never choose to join.
Of course, considering his mediocre strength, the Prison Division would probably not be interested in him anyway.
Unconsciously, three days passed quickly.
During this time, in addition to checking on the restaurant’s progress, Qin Feng spent his time in the Listen to Rain Pavilion, reading books, and searching for ways to enter the fifth stage of the Magnificent Virtue Realm.
It’s worth mentioning that on the second day after returning from the Demon Slaying Department, Gong Liang from the Divine Workshop came to report that the production of gunpowder had made significant progress.
However, a few more days of observation and production were needed in order to repeatedly test its strength and safety.
On the fourth day, the restaurant was built and ready to open its doors.
However, Qin Feng wasn’t in a hurry to open the restaurant; he wanted the business to thrive, so proper publicity was essential.
The method of spreading rumors in Jinyang City would undoubtedly have to be used again. To attract some high-end customers, he needed the help of one person, and that person was Ya’an!
Because these two days were the days when the Gathering Treasure Pavilion held its auction!
As noon approached, Ya’an arrived as scheduled under Wang Xu’s guidance.
“This time, in addition to the flavor-enhancing spice, there will also be a barrel of naturally brewed Drunken Immortal, all under the name of your restaurant, Moonlit Pavilion.” Ya’an said as she walked towards the auction site.
Qin Feng was somewhat moved, “The auctions of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion have always been anonymous. You must have gone to a lot of trouble to use the name of Moonlit Pavilion. Unfortunately, I am a man, otherwise, I would have to sacrifice myself for such a kindness.”
Lan Ningshuang showed a strange expression at these words, and Wang Xu, who was still leading the way, stumbled upon hearing this.
Ya’an’s eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, then she coldly said, “Smooth talker, you know it’s not easy for me. I’ve put a lot of effort into getting your restaurant up and running smoothly. Even if your monthly profit increases by three percent, it’s still worth it.”
Qin Feng immediately interrupted, “It’s getting late. Hasn’t the auction started yet? Let’s hurry up.”
Even an extra five percent isn’t enough, and now an extra three percent?
Of course, women are greedy and can never be fed enough!
Qin Feng was not used to this girl disguised as a man, so he quickly quickened his pace to escape.
Those who could participate in the auction of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion were naturally either rich or noble.
The carriages parked outside the auction, based on their levels, would have been at least Lamborghinis in the previous life.
At this auction, Qin Feng not only wanted to confirm the reaction of the spice and the Drunken Immortal, but also wanted to buy some things for himself.
As a physician, it was obvious that there were precious and useful medicinal materials, as well as those rare and unusual formation materials.
Back in the Myriad Sword Sect, if he hadn’t obtained a dragon’s eye from Mu Youqian and set up the Water Marsh Heavenly Dragon Formation, his wife would have been in serious danger.
And in Shuliang City, if he had a suitable formation core, he wouldn’t have to risk his life and let Miss Cang sacrifice the Dragon Bead to save him.
From this, you can see that it is very necessary to be well prepared!
