Su Tu looked at the shopkeeper again, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. This person deserved to die, but just death would be too cheap for him.
For example... using one’s own thods against them.

Crash!!
The torrential rain poured down, and the Celestial City Star hadn’t experienced such an exaggerated downpour for decades. The continuous rain spread like a mist, blurring the boundaries between heaven and earth.
At the back hill of the City Box District.
A man wearing a raincoat hurriedly approached, carrying a black waterproof woven bag.
He arrived in front of a hill, pulled out a smoking pipe, and casually tapped it in mid-air.
Before long, a transparent "door" appeared on the once empty hill. The man cautiously looked around and then quickly stepped inside.
Within the door, there was a titanium alloy corridor, where countless neon lights crisscrossed in front, starkly contrasting the desolate hill outside.
"Shabato, it seems like there’s good stuff. You’re running out here personally in such heavy rain."
A man in a white lab coat ca forward to greet him.
"A fully loaded goods, impossible to find even with a light."
Shabato directly threw the woven bag over. The man opened it for a glance, and a hint of surprise imdiately flashed in his eyes.
"Not bad, I’ll wire the money to you later!"
With that, he turned around and left with the woven bag, and Shabato also turned to leave without wasting any more words.
However, what the man in the white coat didn’t notice was the hint of purple that flickered in Shabato’s eyes.
The man in the white coat, carrying the woven bag, sped through the corridor, passing layer upon layer of checks until he finally reached a laboratory deep within.
In the large laboratory, many people were bustling around frantically.
Surrounding them were many semi-cylindrical machines, each housing a child slowly floating, with countless data swirling around, and many staff mbers recording various things.
Not far from these machines was a blood pool that occasionally rippled; above it was a huge pill furnace, stained with blood rust, constantly ringing as if refining sothing.
The man in the white coat didn’t pause at all, bypassed these devices, and went straight to a machine at the front.
Carefully, he opened the bag and placed the drowsy boy inside it onto the display of the machine. Instantly, a series of data appeared on the monitor.
"Nice! Not only is this one’s appearance good, but his body’s potential is excellent too. He can be used for Experint No. 2!"
The man said excitedly.
Beside him, a few other n dressed similarly appeared.
"Great, the materials for the ’Heaven-Extending Pill’ experint are actually sufficient now. What we most lack is material for Experint No. 2. If our experint succeeds, the ancestor will undoubtedly reward us greatly."
"By that ti, I’ll surely return to the central area, possibly replacing Chen Zian’s branch, becoming the main branch of the Chen Family!"
"Hahahaha!! That’s right, once the pill is ford, the ancestor has a high chance of taking that step, and by then, our branch will be the greatest contributors!!"
These researchers spoke excitedly.
However, what they didn’t notice was that the child inside the machine seed to open his eyes for a mont, the coldness in his gaze exuding an extre chill.
"Alright, stop daydreaming and get to work. We have to finish this before the ancestor’s birthday, or we won’t have another chance."
"Chen Zian’s branch’s suppression on us is heavy. If not for the ancestor sealing the door with the main branch, we wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity."
The speaker, with a bushy beard, narrow eyes filled with unmistakable ambition.
"Don’t worry, big brother, this ti, we’ve paid too much. Trafficking with the Three Deceits Cult is intolerable to the Federation."
"If we’re successful, any consequences won’t matter. But if we fail..."
Another man spoke in a deep voice, his gaze directed at the pill furnace not far away, where a small imprint lay, resembling the shape of a balance scale.
The entire design twisted and coiled like crimson ink, giving an indescribable eerie feeling.
Everyone looked at the symbol with slightly cautious and fearful eyes.
"Rest assured, success is certain, it is certain!!"
"There are at least three Heaven-Extending Pills in the furnace already. Continued refinent is just for extra insurance."
The bushy beard said this, reassuring everyone.
Then, the bushy beard turned his gaze towards the child lying on the machine and said, "Not bad, this child’s appearance truly suits the word ’Immortal’."
"Not just any random person is worthy of such a title."
"I’ll personally take care of this one, you all go check the other areas, make sure nothing goes wrong."
The bushy beard instructed the nearby individuals.
They, hearing this, also said nothing further and moved towards other machines.
Tightening his gloves, the bushy beard spoke to the boy, "Child, don’t bla . To beco the vessel for ’Immortal’ is your honor."
"In the future, your bloodline, your family, will all be proud of you."
He spoke while taking out a syringe and aid it at the boy’s arm.
The sharp tip of the needle glead coldly.
However, to the bushy beard’s surprise, the needle fell on the boy’s fair arm yet seed to strike tal instead.
The man sensed sothing amiss imdiately.
The boy, who had been in slumber, suddenly opened his eyes, his black and white gaze carrying an indescribable chill, staring straight at him.
