Chapter 252

"Is your Excellency the alchemist who refines Blood-Coagulating Pills for the Zhu family?" A somewhat nervous voice sounded.

Xu Yang's heart stirred; it was actually caused by the Blood-Coagulating Pills, not some petty thief who saw money and became greedy.

He had only cooperated with the Zhu family once, and someone had already traced it to him; it was feared that the appearance of the Blood-Coagulating Pills had moved someone else's cake.

He had anticipated this long ago, so he had always been careful.

"You have one more chance to speak."

Xu Yang snorted coldly, his five fingers exerting slight force; the scorching Gang Qi touched the skin, and the Su family scout's facial features twisted in pain.

"I am from the Su family; my Su family head wants to see you; as long as you agree to refine pills for my Su family, the conditions are guaranteed to be better than the Zhu family's." The Su family scout didn't hesitate at all and immediately revealed his identity.

Because the head's order was to find the alchemist who refined Blood-Coagulating Pills for the Zhu family, and then offer conditions to win him over.

If he didn't report his identity, how would the alchemist in front of him know that the Su family's strength was far greater than the Zhu family's?

"Su family..." Xu Yang pondered.

If there were better conditions, he would naturally be willing to cooperate with those who offered better conditions; after all, he didn't have much affection for the Zhu family.

It was just the Su family; as far as he knew, there was only one Su family in Qingyang City, which was the Su family where Su Man was.

The Su family had always been domineering, and their reputation wasn't very good.

Saying they could give better conditions, maybe once he showed up, he would be locked up and become a tool for the Su family to refine pills.

Besides, the Su family would most likely walk together with the Xiao Hua father and son; he couldn't cooperate with the Su family.

The Xiao Hua father and son were already on his little notebook, and sooner or later they would become enemies with the Su family.

Seeing Xu Yang didn't refuse, the Su family scout immediately said: "Your Excellency, my Su family sincerely invites you to cooperate; any conditions can be discussed with..."

"Crack!"

Xu Yang didn't wait for him to finish, twisting his neck off in one go.

He didn't let this person leave alive; with the Su family's domineering nature, if he wasn't their person, he was an enemy.

Letting this person leave would only bring more trouble.

Looting the silver from this person, he jumped onto the roof to retrieve the medicinal herbs and soon returned to the rented courtyard.

The medicinal herbs were bought, but what about next time?

Next time, the person sent by the Su family might not be a scout, but a killer.

"It seems I have to let the Zhu family prepare medicinal herbs for me."

Buying medicinal herbs himself had too high a risk of exposure; it was just that he hadn't fully trusted the Zhu family before, but now he had to risk trusting the Zhu family.

He had wanted to learn alchemy himself, and if he had his own means of livelihood, he wouldn't have to sell his life for others; where did he know he had thought too simply? Making money himself was snatching food from the mouths of these large families; he made money, but it was also more dangerous.

Now it was just low-end pills like Blood-Coagulating Pills, which had triggered such a crisis; when he learned more high-end pills like Origin-Returning Pills and Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills in the future, the crisis brought would only be greater.

Pondering for a while, he began to process the medicinal herbs, preparing for the alchemy matter.

In the alley, the Su family scout killed by Xu Yang was soon discovered, and then people from the Su family arrived to carry the body away.

Su Mansion, outer courtyard.

The scout's body was sent here, and soon an expert performed an autopsy.

"Killed in one move, the neck was easily twisted off, no signs of resistance; he should have been killed while being restrained; he probably met that alchemist and then was killed."

Su Jianye's face was livid as he listened to the words of the person performing the autopsy.

All the Su family scouts were sent out, guarding for nearly a month, but he didn't expect such a result; they offered generous conditions, and the other party even killed the Su family scout.

This clearly showed they wanted to continue cooperating with the Zhu family, not considering his Su family at all, not even talking to him, cautious to a fault.

Originally he had thought that as long as the other party dared to appear in front of him, if they couldn't talk, he would take action and kill them; the other party didn't give him a chance at all.

"Send all scouts to investigate for me; if he doesn't want to live, then kill him directly."

Not a friend, then an enemy.

Su Jianye shouted sharply: "Go and ask the pharmacies near where the incident happened; the people there should have seen his appearance, and check that area for me; maybe he lives there.

Pass a word to the law enforcement team, let them help keep an eye out; if they find the person, the Su family will reward them heavily."

He acted decisively and soon issued a series of instructions to find and kill the alchemist who refined Blood-Coagulating Pills for the Zhu family.
