“This is a small problem.”
Han Zhao left the alley and walked unhurriedly on the street.
He did not go to Su’s Medicine Store according to his original plan. Instead, he directly turned around and went to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
He was originally prepared to hide his alchemy progress, but he did not expect Yan Baichuan to expose him.
There was no need for him to disguise himself now. He could buy medicinal herbs in batches and directly go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to buy them. It was cheaper.
He could foresee that someone would invite him next.
There might not be many people like the Furious Flood Dragon Gang who were prepared to kidnap them directly.
However, there were probably many threats and bribes.
Fortunately, no one knew his true alchemy progress. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
As for the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, he was not afraid.
Three months ago, it was rumored that a flood dragon had appeared in the vicinity of Twin Moons County’s Sky Pillar Mountain.
The flood dragon was a spirit beast and its entire body was a treasure.
Flesh and blood were more nourishing to martial artists than any spirit pill.
Skin and scales could be used to forge armor, and teeth and claws could be used to forge Spirit Artifacts.
Most importantly, first-generation martial artists who bathed in spirit beast blood could greatly increase their physique and increase the probability of breaking through.
If he could completely refine the spirit beast blood, then from the next generation onwards, the bloodline of the future generations would possess the power of the spirit beast. A new star in the spirit beast aristocratic family would slowly rise.
In at least five generations, the direct descendants of spirit beast families would have a physique that far exceeded martial artists of the same level because of the flood dragon bloodline in their bodies.
The first-generation spirit beast bloodline martial artist even had a chance to break through to the Divine Power Realm.
However, most bloodline martial artists would mainly dig out the potential of their bloodlines. Even if they broke through, their bloodlines would basically undergo atavism and become spirit beasts comparable to the Divine Power Realm. They would not purely rely on the power of the spirit beast bloodline to break through to the Divine Power Realm.
The difference in difficulty was huge and incomparable.
Taking shortcuts was the first choice of most people.
It was not only the locals of Twin Moons County. The Martial Saint-level experts from the nearby prefectures all rushed to Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
Among them was naturally the Academy Head of the Martial Arts Academy and the old leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang.
Although the flood dragon was only a descendant of the True Dragon’s bloodline and did not have the terrifying Divine Power of the True Dragon, it was still comparable to a Martial Saint at the Seven Fiend Greater Mastery Realm.
Without a few top Martial Saints taking the lead, it would be wishful thinking to rely on numbers to kill a dragon.
Even if they succeeded in slaying the dragon, how would they split the spoils? It would probably be another b.l.o.o.d.y battle.
Even if the old leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang escaped unscathed, he would not be able to return in a short period of time.
Han Zhao bought the herbs from the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and returned to the martial arts academy.
“I can lay my cards on the table with Senior Sister Lu.”
He lacked a safe channel and a powerful backer. The key was that this person had to be trustworthy.
Lu Yingxuan was the only one who could satisfy such harsh conditions.
With Lu Yingxuan backing him, he had a way to sell the medicinal pills in his inventory.
As long as he had money and bought more medicinal herbs, he would definitely be able to learn how to refine the Fire Marrow Pill in half a year.
At that time, it would be the time for the Vajra Technique to break through.
In a year or two, he would be able to resolve the imbalance of the Yin and Yang Qi in Lu Yingxuan’s body.
“As long as there are no problems with time management this time, the harem will not backfire on me again.”
Han Zhao laughed in his heart and rushed back to the Martial Academy.
He pa.s.sed by the paG.o.da-shaped building in the center and was about to turn around to go to the Sword Rain Courtyard when trouble came looking for him.
Three young men walked towards him. They looked like they were coming for him.
“Brother Han, it’s an honor to meet you.” The young man in the lead smiled warmly.
“You are?” Han Zhao asked in confusion. He was sure that he had never seen the other party before.
“I’m the third brother of the Dong family. My name is Dong Qianxing. It’s fine if Brother Han doesn’t know me. I often hear Brother Baichuan mention you,” Dong Qianxing said with a smile.
“So it’s Senior Brother Dong. I’m sorry.” Han Zhao cupped his fists and bowed. He had already guessed the other party’s intentions.
The Dong family was also a large family clan in the county city. Dong
Qianxing’s grandfather was an expert at the Two Qi Grandmaster realm. With the 49-Style Soul Severing Saber, he made a name for himself in Yuan Chang County.
“I heard from Brother Baichuan that Brother Han only used half a year to learn how to refine two basic medicinal pills. You’re indeed an alchemy genius!” Dong Qianxing changed the topic.
“Senior Brother Yan, you’re exaggerating. I’ve only completed the initial refinement of the Military Grain Pill, and the success rate is less than 10%. As for the Hemostatic Pill, I’ve only succeeded once so far.” Han Zhao waved his hand repeatedly.
Dong Qianxing smiled faintly. “Brother Han, you don’t have to belittle yourself. With your background, I don’t think you can obtain a large number of medicinal herbs to practice at a high frequency.”
“It is already very rare to have such a success rate. If Brother Han is willing, you can sign a contract with our Dong family. We promise to nurture you into a low-grade alchemist.”
“The pill formula and medicinal herbs will be provided by our Dong family. You only need to use finished pills to repay the resources you consumed when learning alchemy in the future. Brother Han, what do you think?”
“This…” Han Zhao pondered for a moment. Just looking at the conditions proposed by the Dong family, it was considered generous for ordinary new alchemists.
However, he was already a low-grade alchemist now. His goal was to become a middle-grade alchemist as soon as possible and refine the Fire Marrow Pill to allow the Vajra Technique to break through to the Third Level.
Therefore, Dong Qianxing’s conditions were not attractive to him at all.
However, one should not slap a smiling person. The other party knew Yan Baichuan, so he had to reject him tactfully.
“Brother Han, if you’re willing, you can sign a contract with us now. I’ve already brought the contract.” Dong Qianxing saw Han Zhao’s hesitation and guessed that he was already tempted..
