Chapter 177: Superior Blood Qi Pill

"So that's how it is." Lu Yu was quite moved after hearing this, thinking that those people must have believed Wang Shu was certain to die, which is why they did not continue the pursuit.

Fortunately, it was not Wang Shu's time to die.

"Wang Shu, do you still remember the names of the people who hunted you down back then?"

Wang Liang was slightly startled, instantly understanding Lu Yu's meaning, and a warmth welled up in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past. Besides, the Shengda Merchant Guild is a merchant guild on the surface, but it actually has those few Awakened backing it from behind. Even the President of the Headquarters would not want to provoke them lightly."

"Wang Shu, there are some things where it isn't a matter of us not wanting conflict; the other side won't just let us go."

Lu Yu said helplessly, "You also know that the conflict between the Shengda Merchant Guild and the Branch is becoming increasingly intense. Of the thirty-some Internal Strength Martial Artists from back then, plus those who joined in the years since, only six remain now."

"Most of them died at the hands of those people from the Shengda Merchant Guild. My choice to join the Branch is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Merchant Guild. When I returned earlier, someone was following me."

"What!" Wang Liang asked anxiously: "What happened later? You didn't run into any trouble, did you?"

"I shook them off. But next time I go to Yongan City, I will definitely run into them again."

Lu Yu shrugged and said, "So, Wang Shu, you should understand now that it is not a matter of us not provoking them and them letting us go."

Wang Liang's expression became very ugly.

He had originally been worried about Lu Yu getting involved in this dispute, so he had never mentioned the Martial Arts Association.

But he hadn't expected that, through a twist of fate, Lu Yu had joined anyway.

In this way, the enemies they would have to face next would likely not just be Fierce Beasts, but also the lackeys of those Awakened, and they might even clash directly with the Awakened themselves. This situation was truly extremely perilous.

"So, Wang Shu, which bastard was it that harmed you like this?" Lu Yu pressed.

Since he had already decided to stand on the opposite side of the Merchant Guild, he was very willing to eliminate those enemies for Wang Liang to avenge this grudge.

Seeing Lu Yu's serious expression, Wang Liang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

He recalled for a moment and said slowly, "There were quite a few people present at the time, and I don't have much of an impression of most of them, but I clearly remember the name and appearance of the person who led them, even now."

"Who is it?" Lu Yu asked hurriedly.

"Sheng Yuan." Wang Liang spat out these two words clearly.

"So it was him." Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, isn't this that arrogant and domineering leader? At the time, he had that insufferably arrogant look and even spouted wild words to threaten him, telling him not to regret it.

Hmph, perfect. Next time I run into him, I'll settle the new and old scores together.

"Little Yu, although that's how you say it, you must not act against him lightly."

Wang Liang advised with a face full of worry, "If you were dealing with others, that would be one thing, but if you take action against him, it will definitely alert the Awakened behind him. Regardless of their motives, those people will not sit idly by."

"Mm, don't worry, Wang Shu, I won't act impulsively." Lu Yu replied with a smile, knowing in his heart that Wang Shu's warning was very reasonable.

That Sheng Yuan was at most a Transformation Energy Martial Artist; dealing with him would indeed be effortless.

But once that was done, one would have to be prepared to confront C-Class, or even several C-Class Awakened.

By then, I'm afraid that even if I hid in the Yongan City Branch, it would be hard to protect myself.

Therefore, I must collect as many resources as possible to improve my own strength.

Although he said that, the next second, Lu Yu still reached out and took out a small bottle, pouring out a Superior Blood Qi Pill from it.

"This... what is this?" Wang Liang's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

He saw that the pill before him was as round as a pearl, its color deep red like fire, and it emitted a unique and alluring fragrance.

A Superior Blood Qi Pill!

"Wang Shu, this pill is for you." Lu Yu handed it over with a smile.

He still had two Secret Manuals on him, which were the "Qianyuan Technique" and the "Cloud-Piercing Arrow Technique".

It was just that these two martial arts had quite high cultivation thresholds and required one to reach the Vein Refining Realm.

Let alone Wang Liang, even he himself had not yet met this condition and could only set them aside for now.

"No, no." Wang Liang waved his hands to refuse, saying, "This pill is too precious; you need it more than I do."

"Wang Shu, just accept it; it's only a pill." Lu Yu continued to smile and insist.

Come to think of it, this pill was bought at a discount anyway.

Right now, he was indeed in urgent need of various resources, so he was truly embarrassed and could only give one to Wang Shu first.

However, once his own Realm improved in the future, Superior Blood Qi Pills would be like the Low-grade Blood Qi Pills of today to him, having no value.

At that time, he could just give a few more large bottles of Superior Blood Qi Pills as compensation.

"Alright then, I will accept it." Seeing Lu Yu so insistent, Wang Liang had no choice but to take the pill.

On the east side of the training ground, Qin Hai was practicing his blade technique with focus.

He felt that this blade technique had an inexplicable compatibility with him; it was simple and direct to use, and full of a sense of power.

"Qin Hai, are you free right now?" Just then, a voice came over.

Qin Hai turned his head and saw Lu Yu standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Mm." Qin Hai responded, put away the blade in his hand, and walked toward Lu Yu.

"Want to go for a walk together?" Lu Yu invited.

Qin Hai was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"I went to Yongan City this morning." Lu Yu said as he walked forward.

"I know." Qin Hai glanced at him and continued, "It won't be long before I can go to Yongan City on my own too."

"I also joined the Martial Arts Association."

Qin Hai was slightly startled; he didn't quite know what this Martial Arts Association was, but he still responded quickly: "It won't be long before I can join the Martial Arts Association too."

"No." Lu Yu stopped in his tracks, looked at Qin Hai seriously, and said, "Compared to the Martial Arts Association, I hope more that you can join the Awakened Association."

"The Awakened Association?" Qin Hai frowned slightly and asked, "You mean, you want me to go to Yongan City?"

"Not Yongan City; other cities are fine too." Lu Yu's gaze was deep as he said slowly, "I understand that you want to stay here to protect your family, but you must realize that the strength of the Fierce Beasts is beyond our imagination."

"If you stay here, your growth speed is too slow. That's right, you can protect everyone well now, but what if one day in the future, the Fierce Beasts launch another large-scale attack?"

By that time, I fear even Yongan City could be destroyed in an instant, let alone a small Zhai like ours."
