Chapter 27: Small Origin Pill

"Hehe! I didn't expect Hundred-Household Han to have such ambition. However, I can help you, but what can I get?" "Don't use my smuggling as a threat condition. You should know that in the entire Nine Borders, there is no one who doesn't smuggle. From the Commander-in-Chief down to the battalion commander, so do you dare to lift this lid? Even if you report me for smuggling, at most I will leave, losing at most some, but can you bear the consequences?"

Su Fan smiled coldly.

"So if you want me to help you, I can, but I have a condition. When you become a thousand-household, you must help me get a batch of craftsmen from Beijing. At the same time, I also want the *Treasure Ship Records* from when Zheng Gong went to the Western Ocean during the Taizong period."

"Treasure Ship Records? You want to build treasure ships and go to sea?"

Han Quan's eyes widened, looking at Su Fan.

"Naturally. How can smuggling be as simple as obtaining wealth from the ocean? Those major clans in the southeast, which one of them didn't obtain massive wealth by going to sea?"

"As long as you get the *Treasure Ship Records* and the craftsmen to build treasure ships, there will be a share for you in the wealth obtained from going to sea in the future. By then, I don't think a thousand-household will be your end point, and I can also help you obtain merit and let you be promoted continuously."

Su Fan continued to tempt him.

And the latter's eyes also revealed a look of being moved.

"I will think about it. I can help you find some craftsmen, but they might not necessarily be willing to come here?"

"Haha! As long as you help me find them, by then, I will make them come willingly. However, you are responsible for blocking the official side."

Unwilling to come? Just kidding. Smash them with silver; there is no one who is unwilling to come. Craftsmen are not a noble profession in the Great Ming; they are all at the bottom and don't live very well.

Han Quan also understood, so he didn't say anything more.

"The *Treasure Ship Records*, with my current position, it is very difficult to touch. Only when I become a thousand-household will it be possible."

"It doesn't matter. Help me find a batch of craftsmen first. I will help you become a thousand-household. Let's consider it a happy cooperation."

In the end, Han Quan had no objections and chose to cooperate with Su Fan. After the two discussed it, the latter took his leave.

Watching Han Quan leave, Su Fan's eyes flickered inexplicably. He must get the *Treasure Ship Records*.

Su Fan naturally knows that that thing is not something an ordinary person can touch. Don't look at the Great Ming always banning the sea, but do they really not know the wealth of the ocean?

As for someone always obstructing it, especially those major clans in the southeast, they even induced the Japanese pirates to invade in order to stop the Imperial Court.

So in the late Great Ming, capitalism had already erupted and was very strong. Saying that capital controlled the Imperial Court is not an exaggeration. After all, those officials were almost all the front stage for capital everywhere.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the wild boar skin, and then after the wild boar skin took down the Central Plains, this capital received a heavy blow.

In later generations, the *Treasure Ship Records* were burned, and some people said that some people secretly took them away.

Of course, right now, the *Treasure Ship Records* are still there. Su Fan naturally won't let go. Since he came to this world, he naturally won't let go of the ocean.

Whether it is the silver from the little devils or the Americas, those are countless wealth. Of course, the American ginseng is actually one of Su Fan's goals.

That is something that has rarely been used for thousands of years; that is the greatest wealth for martial arts practitioners.

Although there is ginseng in Changbai Mountain and Liaodong, after all, after thousands of years of collection, true hundred-year-old ginseng is still very scarce.

Su Fan had been here for a year and only acquired one from a mountain dweller.

Hundred-year-old ginseng has a great effect on first-rate martial artists. One hundred-year-old ginseng contains enough essence for a first-rate martial artist to open an extraordinary meridian.

That one, Su Fan didn't consume it and sent it to Huashan. As for who consumed it, Su Fan didn't care.

He doesn't need to use hundred-year-old ginseng now, but it was also because of this ginseng that Su Fan exchanged a *Small Origin Pill* prescription from the Sect Leader.

The *Small Origin Pill* is the Huashan Sect's treasure pill prescription, just like Shaolin's *Great Restoration Pill*. Of course, the medicinal effect certainly cannot compare to Shaolin's.

However, it can also increase a few years of internal energy.

However, configuring the *Small Origin Pill* is not that easy. The herbs used are all precious medicinal materials of several decades, including ginseng, astragalus, and so on.

The Huashan Sect can barely configure one or two furnaces every five years, and the cost of one furnace is tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even more expensive.

However, it is much better than Shaolin. Shaolin's *Great Restoration Pill* is probably only refined a few times in decades.

After all, that thing uses medicinal materials of several hundred years, and medicinal materials that have reached several hundred years are very rare. Being able to find one is already not bad.

It is the *Small Restoration Pill* that is said to be refined by Shaolin every year.

Getting the *Small Origin Pill* prescription, Su Fan was truly ecstatic. This thing allowed his "krypton gold" path to take off again.

Money, Su Fan has plenty. The Huashan Sect cannot refine it often, but Su Fan can. One *Small Origin Pill* can increase a few years of internal energy.

Consuming a few, Su Fan estimates that he can open the twelve standard meridians. Moreover, the *Small Origin Pill* has another effect, which is to help second-rate peak martial artists break through to the first-rate level and open the small heavenly circuit.

If Fan Ming and the others consume the *Small Origin Pill*, the possibility of breaking through to the first-rate level will increase to thirty percent. This is already very powerful.

After Han Quan left, Su Fan immediately sent someone to find Liu Tong.

When Han Quan left, he gave Su Fan a piece of news: someone was targeting him, and the person targeting him was none other than the thousand-household Hu Wei.

According to the information given by Han Quan, this Hu Wei was indeed calculating, uniting with the Jianzhou Guard to rob him of all his industries.

A bunch of rabble, Su Fan naturally didn't put them in his eyes. If Li Heng and the others hadn't come, Su Fan would still be a bit wary.

But Li Heng and them, plus Fan Ming's seventy martial arts experts, plus his two hundred regular soldiers.

Even if Hu Wei and the Jianzhou Guard united, what could they do? Even if both sides brought out over a thousand people, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to Su Fan.

"However, daring to target me, then be prepared to die."

Su Fan called Liu Tong and asked him to send a few people to watch Hu Wei, and at the same time, have a few people watch the Jianzhou Guard side.

The Jianzhou Left Guard is now commanded by that person called Xibaoqipian'gu. Before, his caravan was ambushed by this guy. Now it seems they can't help it again.

A bunch of wolves and dogs, then beat them until they hurt.

With the arrival of Li Heng and the others, Su Fan's power was getting bigger and bigger. Regarding the Jianzhou Guard, he no longer had too many scruples.

It just so happens that slowly wiping them out can also be considered eliminating a wish from his previous life.

Su Fan knows that the Jianzhou Left Guard is the predecessor of the wild boar skin, and that Nurhaci is the descendant of Xibaoqipian'gu and the others.

Wiping them out might lead to other tribes rising, but that is not within Su Fan's scope of consideration.

Su Fan gave the order, and the military households in the defense fort under Qipan Mountain moved very quickly. A dozen scouts left in batches very quickly.

At the same time, Su Fan also summoned the Huashan Sect's outer sect disciples.

This time, Su Fan was prepared to use a "capture the thief first, capture the king" strategy, a decapitation tactic. He wasn't afraid if the two sides gathered together, but it was inevitable that there would be losses.

Wipe out their leaders first, then slowly solve the rest of them, more secretly.

It would also reduce trouble for himself. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
