Never mind how fast Su Han’s refining speed is or how high his success rate is, what puzzled Ling Qinghai the most was where Su Han got so much gold coin from?
According to his investigations, Su Han truly was just a junior member of the Su Family from Yuanshan County, who had once suffered a disruption in his Dragon Vein due to cultivation deviating into madness. Somehow he had recovered later on, but after provoking the Chen Family and the Lin Family, he was expelled from the Su Family and had been living under the care of the Xiao Family ever since.
The items required for this sect mission, when added up, were valued close to one billion. It’s not just the Su Family or the Xiao Family that couldn’t afford this sum—even if all four of the Four Great Families of Yuanshan County were to pool their resources together, they still couldn’t come up with the amount!
“Indeed, the professions of artifact refiners and alchemists are truly lucrative to the extreme,” Ling Qinghai sighed.
Although he had some martial talent, when it came to alchemy and artifact refining, he really couldn’t grasp it.
Talent is something you can’t explain, even if you see others making heaps of money, there’s nothing you can do about it.
The only explanation Ling Qinghai could think of was that Su Han first crafted a batch of weapons and pills and then sold them, using the profits to continue crafting until he’d accumulated enough items for the mission.
But thinking of this, Ling Qinghai was shocked to realize, just how high must Su Han’s success rate in crafting these weapons and pills be?
How high must the success rate be for him to gather items worth nearly one billion gold coins within three months?
“Are you really just at the Dragon Vein Realm?” Ling Qinghai couldn’t help but ask.
Su Han shrugged, “What do you think?”
Ling Qinghai fell silent. He could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Su Han was that of the Dragon Vein Realm, but none of the things Su Han had done was something a cultivator of the Dragon Vein Realm could accomplish.
“Alright.”
“I came to find you this time, not just to deliver the sect mission items, but also for other matters,” Su Han said.
“Hmm, these items indeed suffice, and they meet the mission’s requirements. I will have people prepare some land deeds for you, which are basically within ten thousand miles of Yuanshan County, rich in resources. As for which place you want to make your sect residence, it’s up to you,” Ling Qinghai nodded and said, “What else do you need? Just tell me.”
“First matter, Chen Feng was locked up by you in the Mad Demon Hall, wasn’t he? When he is released, you must notify me immediately,” Su Han said.
“Chen Feng?”
Ling Qinghai frowned. He had clearly seen the grievances between Chen Feng and Su Han during the previous assessment. Setting aside Su Han, Chen Feng was definitely a genius.
Moreover, Chen Feng was his disciple. Su Han asking him to notify him was obviously an intention to trouble Chen Feng, which made Ling Qinghai a bit conflicted in his heart.
“Is Chen Feng my disciple? Do you really have to kill him?” Ling Qinghai asked.
Su Han shook his head, “Out of respect for you, I can choose not to kill him. But he made a bet with me, and if he loses, he will have the Chen Family expelled from Yuanshan County. You should also know what happened with me; the Chen Family and the Lin Family attacked the Su Family, all to take my life. I can choose not to kill Chen Feng, but I won’t let the Chen Family off.”
“I see, that’s acceptable, as long as you don’t kill Chen Feng,” Ling Qinghai breathed a sigh of relief.
What he cared about was Chen Feng the person, or rather, Chen Feng’s talent.
As for the life and death of that damn Chen Family, what did it have to do with him?
If he were in Su Han’s shoes, having been hunted down by the Chen Family like that in the past, he wouldn’t let them off either once he had the strength.
“Second matter, among the ten Sect Founding Orders you issued, there’s one called the Blood Demon Sect, right?” Su Han said.
“How do you know?” Ling Qinghai countered.
Before obtaining a Sect Founding Order, one would usually name their sect first, like Su Han’s God-Slaying Pavilion, or the Blood Demon Sect that Mei Jitian was part of.
However, it was rare for someone to know about the sects that Ling Qinghai had issued the founding orders for.
“I’ve encountered someone from the Blood Demon Sect.”
A trace of cold light flickered in Su Han’s eyes, “If the Blood Demon Sect is established, you must notify me immediately.”
“What are you going to do?”
Ling Qinghai felt a skip in his heartbeat when he saw the icy coldness in Su Han’s eyes.
It was the first time he witnessed the terrifying emotions hidden beneath Su Han’s calm exterior.
“Exterminate the Blood Demon Sect,” Su Han said.
“What?”
Ling Qinghai was shocked. Su Han wanted to destroy the Blood Demon Sect?
Others might not be aware, but Ling Qinghai had a clear understanding. Among the Sect Founding Orders he issued, the Blood Demon Sect was definitely one of the strongest. Although they had not yet established a sect, they had already recruited thousands of disciples, and once they were officially established, their numbers would skyrocket to over ten thousand.
Even the Cold Cloud Sect had not been this strong when they were first established.
“How many people are in your sect?” Ling Qinghai couldn’t help but ask.
After thinking for a moment, Su Han said, “If I count them all, there’re less than twenty people, I suppose.”
“Twenty people? What is the strength of these twenty people?”
“The Sect Master is in the Dragon Pill Realm. There are three or four in the Dragon Blood Realm, I guess, and the rest are in the Dragon Vein Realm.”
Ling Qinghai: “...”
Twenty people were going to destroy a sect of over ten thousand?
This is fucking ridiculous!!!
If Su Han were in the Dragon Emperor Realm or even the Dragon Venerate Realm, Ling Qinghai wouldn’t say a thing if he claimed he could destroy a first-class sect with millions of disciples.
Because at that level, the tactic of overwhelming numbers becomes meaningless.
But at this moment, Su Han and his people had a maximum cultivation of the Dragon Pill Realm, with most in the Dragon Blood and Dragon Vein Realms. Even if a single disciple from the Blood Demon Sect spat at them, they could probably drown all twenty of them!
“The Blood Demon Sect has grown strong. There are several people in the Dragon Pill Realm alone, and the number of other disciples has already reached the thousands. I think, no matter what grievance you have with them, you shouldn’t provoke them for now,” Ling Qinghai advised.
“Several in the Dragon Pill Realm? Then why would someone at the peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm be the Deputy Sect Master?” Su Han frowned and asked.
“Are you talking about Mei Jitian?”
Ling Qinghai laughed, “The real backing of the Blood Demon Sect isn’t the Cold Cloud Sect, but the eighth-rate Sect of True Martial Arts. It’s just that the Sect of True Martial Arts doesn’t have any Sect Founding Orders left, so the Blood Demon Sect came to me for one. I have a decent relationship with the Sect Master of the Sect of True Martial Arts, so I gave them one, which means the Blood Demon Sect is under my jurisdiction.”
“That Mei Jitian was sent to the Blood Demon Sect by the Sect of True Martial Arts. Though his realm isn’t high, he has strong backing, and so the Blood Demon Sect made him a Deputy Sect Master.”
“I see,” Su Han realized.
Suddenly remembering something, Ling Qinghai asked, “How do you know that Mei Jitian is the Deputy Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect? Have you met him?”
“Yes.”
Su Han nodded, “We had been to the Demon Beast Mountain Range previously and happened to encounter a hundred-man team led by Mei Jitian, where a little conflict arose.”
“Fortunately, you came back safely. Mei Jitian is a high-level expert at the Peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Dragon Pill Realm. Plus, with the Dragon Techniques secret teachings from the Sect of True Martial Arts, his strength is formidable,” said Ling Qinghai.
“I killed him,” Su Han said indifferently.
Ling Qinghai: “...”
