Chapter 105: New Terrain Inside the Alchemy Cauldron

  Anxious Wang Dahai urged the driver to speed up, and scolded other drivers on the road for not giving way in time. Although the police rushed with all their might, they still arrived more than ten minutes late. Seeing that there was no one at the intersection, Wang Dahai's heart sank to the bottom. In his view, Tang Jiaqiang must have sensed something was wrong and left first, now he only hoped this guy hadn't decided to escape, so there was still hope of catching him.

  Just as Wang Dahai was almost in despair, a sharp-eyed policeman suddenly shouted loudly: "Director Wang, it seems like there is someone lying on the side of the road!"

  Anyway, there's nothing good to lose, Wang Dahai thought for a second and said: "Let's go take a look!"

  A police car without a clear sign soon stopped by the road, and two policemen got out to check on the man's situation. Xiao Ping had deliberately avoided Tang Jiaqiang's small white face when teaching him a lesson, so although this guy was beaten quite badly, his appearance hadn't changed in the slightest. The two policemen had already looked at Tang Jiaqiang's photo repeatedly on the road and immediately recognized that this was the suspect they wanted to catch, and couldn't help but exclaim with surprise and joy: "Director, it's exactly the person we want to catch!"

  Wang Dahai felt that his luck today was simply against the sky, how everything went so smoothly. However, he couldn't afford to celebrate now, and let the detectives take Tang Jiacheng, who looked a bit confused, back to the bureau for an emergency interrogation.

  The benefits of Xiao Ping's deliberate restraint soon became apparent, and Tang Jiaqiang was taken back to the police station for a short time before he woke up. In fact, Tang Jiaqiang was just a spoiled child who relied on his family's power and didn't know how high the sky was or how thick the earth was. When he found himself really in the police station, even Little Seven was caught, and Tang Jiaqiang immediately wet his pants. Before the police had time to interrogate him, he confessed everything he knew.

  Although Tang Jiaqiang and Xiao Qi's confessions had some differences - one mentioned that Hu Qiang also participated, while the other said that this matter had nothing to do with Hu Qiang. However, in Wang Dahai's view, this was just a minor detail, as the planners and implementers of the case had already confessed, and it could now enter the prosecution procedure.

  Wang Dahai, under immense pressure, immediately reported the case to his superiors, who were also very satisfied with the rapid resolution of this heinous crime. The procuratorial organ also intervened in advance, and Tang Jiaqiang and Xiao Qi were quickly approved for arrest, marking the formal entry of the case into the judicial process.

  That night, Tang Zhen and his wife learned that their son had been arrested for the shocking case that shook the entire province. The couple was shocked and quickly went around to find connections and people to help get their precious son out of trouble or at least reduce his sentence. However, this case had already attracted high attention from the provincial authorities, with many leaders instructing a severe investigation, who dared to go against the wind and speak up for Tang's family?

  Mr. and Mrs. Tang made countless phone calls before they finally found out that their son had gotten into a terrible mess this time, and it was inevitable that he would end up in prison. The two of them could only stare at each other, hoping that the sentence wouldn't be too severe when the time came.

  At the same time that Tang Zhen and his wife were sighing, Xiao Ping had already returned to his hotel room and was lazily leaning on the bed watching TV. The provincial television station was broadcasting the night's news, with a well-dressed anchor reporting: "According to the latest news, the two suspects in the vicious case that occurred at Nan Da this afternoon have been caught, and they have confessed to all the criminal facts. The spokesperson for the Municipal Police Bureau officially announced that the case has been solved. The spokesperson said that the reason why the case was solved so quickly is inseparable from the large amount of meticulous work done by the police. At the same time, it also shows that the overall security situation is good, and it's just occasional..."

  Xiao Ping smiled and turned off the TV. He really didn't know how the security situation in the provincial capital was, but as long as he knew that Tang Jiaqiang and Xiao Qi hadn't run away, it was fine. As for what kind of punishment Tang Jiaqiang would receive under the law, that would depend on the judge's decision. However, this time Tang Jiaqiang had caused huge harm to Song Lei, and if this guy didn't receive sufficient severe punishment, Xiao Ping wouldn't mind waiting until Tang Jiaqiang came out and taking matters into his own hands to teach this scoundrel a lesson.

  But all these are things of the future, what Xiao Ping needs to do now is to get rid of the jade stones he bought from Mao Wenqiang during the day. When he first learned that Song Lei was injured, Xiao Ping didn't have time to take away the newly purchased jade stones. However, Mao Wenqiang is a big shot and naturally wouldn't be greedy for these jade stones, so he helped Xiao Ping collect them and gave them back to him when he left for the second time.

  These jade stones, worth over a hundred million, are also the largest number and highest quality that Xiao Ping has ever bought. He also has high expectations for these jade stones and is eager to know what changes the Lian Yao Hu will undergo after absorbing so many jade materials.

  The process of absorbing the jade stone was no different from before. The only change was in Xiao Ping's mindset, after several cultivations, he could now calmly watch as jade stones worth over a million turned to dust, without feeling the intense heartache he had felt before.

  After all the jade stones were absorbed, Xiao Ping eagerly entered the Lian Yao Hu and found that the environment inside had indeed changed again. The area of the space had expanded to nearly five mu in size, and the water pool had an area of one mu, which could already be considered a small lake. From the spring eye, a small river flowed and meandered on this five-mu-large flat ground, eventually flowing into the clear and calm small lake. On the small tree by the spring eye, another tender green bud appeared, and Xiao Ping believed that as long as he let the Lian Yao Hu absorb more jade stones, this little tree would soon grow a new leaf.

  The plants and animals in the Refining Demon Lake are still thriving as usual, presenting a prosperous scene. However, the space of the Refining Demon Cauldron has expanded significantly again, so Xiao Ping plans to plant two more oak trees to produce more truffles.

  Apart from these changes, what surprised Xiao Ping the most was that a small hill appeared at the edge of the Alchemy Cauldron space. Although this hill is only about 20 meters high and not steep, it is after all a new terrain in the Alchemy Cauldron following rivers and lakes. Xiao Ping felt that this hill would be like rivers and lakes, as long as the Alchemy Cauldron absorbs more jade stones, it will continue to change and may eventually become a towering mountain.

  Xiao Ping stood at the top of the slope, looking down at the entire Lian Yao Hu space with a sense of nostalgia. Although this small space could be seen at a glance, it was still surrounded by a thick fog that seemed to have substance, but after all, it was a space that completely belonged to Xiao Ping. In this bustling and noisy world, perhaps only he had such treatment.

  Xiao Ping deeply inhaled the fresh air from the Lian Yao Hu, savoring the delightful feeling that soothed his mind and body. He secretly made up his mind to protect this land well, making it even more vast and beautiful.

  However, Xiao Ping didn't stay sentimental for long. This worldly person soon thought of more practical issues and looked at the newly appeared hillside, muttering to himself: "This place is too wasteful if left empty, it must be utilized. But... what should I plant?"

  For a city youth like Xiao Ping, this problem was indeed a headache. He thought about it for half a day and still couldn't come up with any results. Remembering that he had to go gamble in Yunnan Province with Mao Wenqing and others tomorrow, Xiao Ping quickly logged off the Alchemy Vessel and went to rest.

  Xiao Ping had high hopes for this gamble, and partnering with Mao Wenqing to make money was a small matter. What he looked forward to the most was finding some high-quality jadeite that could help the Lian Yao Hu quickly evolve, and he must take it seriously.
