Chapter 246

The Zhu family announced that from now on, there would be two hundred more Blood-Coagulating Pills every month; this was clearly not the work of the Zhu family's current alchemist; it must have been obtained through other channels, or they had recruited a new alchemist; otherwise, it would be impossible for two hundred Blood-Coagulating Pills to appear out of thin air.

In the medicinal herb market, whoever had the pills had the say.

Although the market seized wasn't much, in business, not advancing was retreating; if this matter wasn't resolved, as time passed, the Su family would slowly decline.

"Send people to the Profound Heaven Sect and ask if they obtained the Profound Heaven Sect's pill share," Su Jianye said angrily.

Opposite him, his second brother, Su Jiangong, said in a deep voice: "We have already gone to the Profound Heaven Sect to ask; these are not the Profound Heaven Sect's pills; no one in the Profound Heaven Sect refines Blood-Coagulating Pills.

The Profound Heaven Sect's alchemists all refine Qi-Benefiting Pills, which have better cost-effectiveness; no one in the Profound Heaven Sect refines pills like Blood-Coagulating Pills, which have higher costs."

Alchemy was for making money; with Qi-Benefiting Pills that had better cost-effectiveness, who would refine Blood-Coagulating Pills with higher costs?

A flash of light appeared in Su Jianye's eyes: "That is to say, this alchemist only knows how to refine Blood-Coagulating Pills and doesn't know how to refine Qi-Benefiting Pills."

Su Jiangong nodded: "It should be, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he has deep research into Blood-Coagulating Pills; if the success rate is high, for this alchemist, refining Blood-Coagulating Pills might be more cost-effective than Qi-Benefiting Pills.

I obtained a Blood-Coagulating Pill from the Zhang family and gave it to the family alchemist to look at; he said this alchemist's attainment in Blood-Coagulating Pills is very high, and the success rate of refining Blood-Coagulating Pills might reach ten pills per furnace."

Su Jianye said: "I don't care, find the person for us, and check if there are any outside alchemists in Qingyang City recently."

Su Jiangong shook his head: "We have already checked; there are no outside alchemists recently, and the family intelligence has found nothing."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Su Jianye said angrily: "Trash, an alchemist won't carve the word 'alchemist' on his forehead; keep an eye on the materials for refining Blood-Coagulating Pills for me.

As long as this alchemist still refines Blood-Coagulating Pills, he will inevitably have to buy medicinal herbs."

Su Jiangong's eyes lit up: "Big Brother is wise, I will send people to keep an eye on all the major pharmacies."

Su Jianye showed a smug look: "Find him for me; no matter what conditions the Zhu family gives him, my Su family can give him better ones and let him cooperate with my Su family."

Speaking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "If he doesn't know what's good for him, kill him for me."

If he couldn't be used, then destroy him; as for the Zhu family's reaction, the person would be dead, and would the Zhu family start a war with the Su family for a dead person? The Zhu family didn't have the guts.

"Yes!"

Su Jiangong said again: "Big Brother, the Profound Heaven Sect outer sect deacon Xiao Hua sent someone to pass a message, wanting to propose marriage to Su Man for his son; what are your thoughts?"

Su Jianye frowned: "A mere outer sect deacon, what is he? He wants to be in-laws with my Su family."

The outer sect deacons of the Profound Heaven Sect were all disciples who couldn't make it in the inner sect and were sent to the outer sect to serve; besides being able to bully the outer sect disciples, they had no say in the Profound Heaven Sect.

For such a person, the Su family could associate with him, but to be in-laws and marry into the family, he wasn't qualified.

Su Jiangong said: "He recently broke through to Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing; otherwise, how would he dare to propose marriage to Su Man for my Su family? And Su Man seems to fancy his son too."

A fierce light flashed in Su Jianye's eyes; this was acting first and then notifying them.

However, hearing that Xiao Hua had reached Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing, his brows relaxed: "Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing, he is somewhat qualified; let him come over when he has time to talk; wanting to marry my daughter, although she is not the legitimate daughter, it is not that simple."

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yang had been refining black iron at the Fire Peak for half a month, maintaining the speed of refining one piece of black iron every day to earn contribution points.

At the same time, his cultivation hadn't fallen behind, it was just that the progress of his martial arts cultivation was a bit slower.

This day, after the refining ended, a group of outer sect disciples walked out of the Fire Peak.

"Senior Brother Xu, please wait a moment!"

Just after descending the Fire Peak, Xu Yang heard someone calling him; looking back, he found it was Yun Feng and Hu Fengyi.

Although this person Yun Feng and he both came from Qingyuan County, the two had no interaction.

"Does Senior Brother Yun have something?" Xu Yang stopped his steps.

Yun Feng walked over in large strides: "This is not a place to talk; could we borrow a step to talk?"

Xu Yang glanced at Chen Chao and the others walking in front, immediately nodded, and stepped into the forest on the side: "Senior Brother Yun, what is the matter? Speak."

Yun Feng smiled: "Then I will speak directly; I want Senior Brother Xu to sell me some refined black iron; don't worry, I will give you the contribution points, and at the same time, I will pay you two taels of silver more for each piece of black iron; I just need your black iron to register."

This was probably related to that so-called selection; Yun Feng hadn't practiced the Mountain-Shaking Hammer, and his refining speed was very slow; he probably wanted to take a shortcut from him.

It was just that Yun Feng wanted to take a shortcut, but wasn't he taking away his path?

Although he still didn't know what the so-called selection was, Yun Feng was so attentive and didn't hesitate to spend money to buy his black iron; there should be great benefits.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Sorry, I don't intend to sell."

He needed a large number of registered contribution points to facilitate the use of the contribution points obtained from Kong Yu and the others, so he didn't intend to trade with Yun Feng.

And in a while, he would have to go to the city to refine Blood-Coagulating Pills; if he handed in less black iron, it wouldn't be easy to find Gao Lin to ask for leave.

Although this would offend Yun Feng, so what? It wasn't the first time he had offended people from the Poxiao Society lineage; one more Yun Feng didn't make much difference.

Compared to Jin Lei last time, Yun Feng was nothing.

The smile on Yun Feng's face faded, his voice slightly cold: "Xu Yang, you have already taken a great advantage of the conditions I offered; don't be ignorant; giving you two taels more is already giving you a lot of face."

As the young master of the Yun family, one of the four major families in Qingyuan County, he had a natural sense of superiority over Xu Yang; he thought that giving two taels more was enough face for the mud-legged person in front of him.

If it weren't for the Profound Heaven Sect, let alone giving two taels more, he wouldn't even give contribution points.

The smile on Xu Yang's face also faded: "You don't have to give me face."

At the martial arts preliminary examinations and the Qunlong Society, he had already seen Yun Feng's domineering nature, so he wasn't surprised; he couldn't sacrifice his own interests to fulfill Yun Feng.

A cold light erupted in Yun Feng's eyes, and he sneered: "Daring to fall out with me, very good; in the Profound Heaven Sect I can't do anything to you, but don't forget you still have family in Qingyuan."

This was his confidence; it was the reason why disciples from Qingyuan like Jiang Ping and Zhang Yong allowed him and Cao Rong to exploit them, because they weren't just themselves, they also had family.

But he didn't expect Xu Yang to dare to refuse him.

"Seeking death!" Killing intent surged in Xu Yang's heart.

This wasn't just domineering, it was base and shameless; threatening with family, an ordinary person would absolutely not do such a thing.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had Lin Cheng's protection, and the Yun family couldn't touch Xu Qing; otherwise, he would really have to bow his head temporarily.

Suppressing the impulse to kill Yun Feng on the spot, Xu Yang turned and left.

He didn't say harsh words to further provoke Yun Feng; Xu Qing had Lin Cheng's protection, but his uncle's family and the Qiu family didn't.

In his heart, Yun Feng was already on his must-kill list.

Regardless of whether Yun Feng was just saying harsh words or would really write a letter to have his family take action, he must kill Yun Feng.

Once these words were spoken, Kong Yu only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his aura was in great disarray. So many of his close friends had actually been killed by Xu Yang!

The killing intent in his heart was almost impossible to suppress; this was the second person besides Li Hu who could provoke such killing intent in him.

"I said he wouldn't even give Jin Lei face, he wouldn't agree; now you believe it, right?" Hu Fengyi laughed.

He had advised Yun Feng not to come looking for trouble, but Yun Feng wouldn't listen.

He thought that since his Yun family was one of the four major families in Qingyuan, Xu Yang dared not give Jin Lei face, but wouldn't dare to offend him.

"Mud-legged person, daring not to give me face."

Yun Feng slapped out with his palm, leaving a palm print on the large tree beside him.

If it weren't for the Profound Heaven Sect, he would have almost been unable to suppress his killing intent; a mud-legged person who walked out of a mud puddle dared to reject his, Young Master Yun's, face.

"Don't waste time here, hurry and find others to talk to, otherwise if you don't get selected, the loss will be huge," Hu Fengyi reminded.

Yun Feng's expression changed, and he hurriedly went to find other people refining black iron.

"Hoo!"

Taking a long breath, it wasn't until he had walked several hundred meters that Xu Yang suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Near the outer sect disciples' residence, his mood had calmed down, and he turned to enter the peach forest to practice martial arts.

He vented all the killing intent in his heart into his fist intent; for a time, Gang Qi surged in the peach forest, and wild winds arose.

"Bang bang bang..."

Half an hour later, he struck out with a punch, and three solid fist imprints emerged, shattering a peach tree in front.

The phantom images produced by his fist finally possessed powerful attack power.

Xu Yang stood with his fists retracted, his whole body steaming like mist, his restless blood and Qi gradually calming down.

【Phantom Star Gang Fist · Minor Success (1/2000)】

【Blazing Sun Gang Blade · Minor Success (574/2000)】

【Stepping on Gang, Chasing the Wind · Entry Level (866/1000)】

After some venting, the Phantom Star Gang Fist finally stepped into the Minor Success realm; of the three martial arts, only Stepping on Gang, Chasing the Wind had not yet reached Minor Success.

"With the Diamond Body Technique plus the Minor Success Phantom Star Gang Fist and Blazing Sun Gang Blade, I should now be able to fight someone at the Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation level."

There was no joy of realm improvement, only the impulse to kill.

If it weren't for the Profound Heaven Sect, he would be confident in killing Yun Feng in ten moves.

After practicing Stepping on Gang, Chasing the Wind for a while, Xu Yang returned to his residence.

The next day, he learned from Chen Chao that Yun Feng had bought refined black iron from someone else; as for the conditions, Chen Chao didn't know.

However, from then on, whenever the two met, the look in Yun Feng's eyes carried undisguised killing intent, and Hu Fengyi also carried a cold sneer.

Xu Yang turned a blind eye and did his own thing.

Two days later, Stepping on Gang, Chasing the Wind also reached the Minor Success realm, and his speed greatly increased.
