Chapter 196: Chapter 196: The Martial Arts Grandmaster of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce Arrives at Jiangbei

"That two hundred-year-old ginseng was a gift from An Ran?" Su Luo said, his eyes wide with surprise as he looked towards An Ran.

An Ran blinked innocently at him.

Su Luo knew that now was not the time to ask An Ran, and he did not feign reluctance, instead, he accepted the century-old ginseng, "Thank you, President."

"No need to thank me," Cui Fengyi said with a smile, signaling Su Luo to sit down, "In the future, if you have any doubts about martial arts, feel free to come to me for advice!"

"Thank you, President!" Su Luo immediately bowed with his fists.

"Don’t be so formal," Cui Fengyi said with a smile.

Originally, Su Luo thought that Cui Fengyi would inquire about the details of the Southern Martial Association’s Grand Competition, or about his conflict with the Jinling Xia Family in Jinling, or even about him killing Jiang Hongying and the like. Su Luo had even prepared his responses before coming to the Jiangbei Martial Association.

But until he left, Cui Fengyi did not ask anything more.

This let Su Luo breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether Cui Fengyi respected his privacy or simply did not care about his affairs, not asking or interfering was, for Su Luo, the best outcome.

...

"Now it seems that to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill, only the Celestial Spirit Fruit is missing!"

Su Luo checked his home’s medicinal herbs and let out a small sigh of relief.

The Foundation Establishment Pill required the Jade Marrow Mushroom, ginseng, and Celestial Spirit Fruit as the main ingredients, and Snow Lotus, Black Peony Grass, Golden Essence Ginseng, among eighteen other herbs, as auxiliary components to concoct.

Of the eighteen auxiliary herbs, some didn’t exist on Earth, but Su Luo had already had Zhou Ye prepare alternative ingredients based on their similar medicinal properties.

As for the three main ingredients.

Su Luo had replaced the Jade Marrow Mushroom with Ganoderma, the ginseng was already in his possession, and now only the Celestial Spirit Fruit was missing!

"As long as I can concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage quickly and stand on the same level as the Grandmasters!" Su Luo thought to himself.

In fact, without the Foundation Establishment Pill, relying on his own talent, Su Luo was confident he could achieve Foundation Establishment successfully.

However, in an environment like Earth where nature’s spiritual energy was sparse, that would require a lot of time.

And now, facing threats from forces like Zhou Shihao, the Jinling Xia Family, and the Governor of Jiangnan, who could act against him at any moment, Su Luo did not have the time to slowly build his foundation.

"The Celestial Spirit Fruit isn’t available on Earth, so I will have to use deer antler and Cynomorium combined as a substitute. Fortunately, there is another drop of Divine Liquid in the Great Dao Treasure Vase, which can be used to increase the age and enhance the properties of the herbs, which should be enough to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill," Su Luo calculated inwardly.

Thus, after leaving the Jiangbei Martial Association, he straight away made a trip to Huichuntang and purchased some deer antler and Cynomorium from Wei Hongbo.

He then returned to the Su Family Ancestral House.

After diluting with that drop of Divine Liquid, he soaked the required deer antler and Cynomorium in it, allowing them to absorb and enhance their medicinal properties.

It must be said that the Divine Liquid produced in the Great Dao Treasure Vase was miraculous. Just by placing the deer antler and Cynomorium into it for a minute or two, they underwent significant changes. The medicinal properties increased by many folds, which made Su Luo very much look forward to the final result.

"Boom!"

Just then, a booming noise erupted from the front yard.

"A breakthrough?"

Su Luo quickly made his way to the front yard, only to see Zhou Ye practicing his punches there. Each punch carried fierce wind, with Inner Strength faintly emitting a few inches, forming fist prints in the air, making the air burst into sonic booms.

After completing a set of punches, Zhou Ye finally stopped.

Then.

Zhou Ye quickly came before Su Luo, dropped to one knee, his face filled with excitement, "Mr. Su, I’ve broken through! My Inner Strength has undergone a transformation, and I’ve ascended to a First-Grade Grandmaster!"

"Good, the effort I put into refining all those elixirs for you wasn’t wasted!" Su Luo smiled and motioned for Zhou Ye to rise.

After all, Su Luo had taken at least half of the medicinal ingredients he originally planned to use for himself, refined them into elixirs, and gave them to Zhou Ye. Zhou Ye consumed the elixirs like candy, which enabled him to break through from the Eighth Stage of Inner Strength to the Grandmaster Realm in just one day.

This was within Su Luo’s expectations. If Zhou Ye couldn’t break through to Grandmaster after consuming so many elixirs, his talent would truly be limited and hardly of any great use.

"You should still have some elixirs left in your hands, and with the medicinal effects accumulated in your body, I believe it won’t be long before you can at least become a Third-Grade Grandmaster!" Su Luo said after extending his Divine Sense and checking Zhou Ye’s condition.

This filled Zhou Ye’s face with an incredibly excited expression.

Third-Grade Grandmaster!

He wouldn’t have dared to even think about it before.

Forget Third-Grade; in the past, he wouldn’t have dared to think about becoming a Grandmaster at all.

And Su Luo had promised that within three years, he would make him a Grandmaster, but in reality, it didn’t even take half a year to make it happen.

Choosing to follow Su Luo was truly the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

"I would die for you, Mr. Su!" Zhou Ye declared immediately.

Su Luo nodded, "Keep cultivating. I estimate that in a few days there will be a tough battle."

Zhou Ye already knew about the conflict between Su Luo and Zhou Shihao, and he nodded at once, "Understood."

Then, he resumed his cultivation without further delay.

Su Luo watched him and thought to himself, how is Elder Lin Songbai progressing with his cultivation?

Indeed!

Not only did he provide Zhou Ye with elixirs, but he also took many elixirs to Elder Lin Songbai, urging him to cultivate urgently. After all, besides Zhou Ye, Elder Lin Songbai was the only other strong individual Su Luo could trust. Helping Elder Lin Songbai enhance his strength would not only assist Su Luo but also strengthen the Lin Family’s ability to protect themselves, so Su Luo didn’t have to worry about what was behind him.

"I hope Old Lin can break through to Fourth-Grade Grandmaster before Zhou Shihao and his people make a move!" Su Luo mused inwardly.

Because, Su Luo had received a message from Shen Qingzhi, Zhou Shihao had enlisted a helper, either a Fourth-Grade or a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster. In short, within one or two days, or at most three to five days, they would arrive in Jiangbei.

Once the Fourth-Grade or Fifth-Grade Grandmaster arrived, Zhou Shihao would likely make his move against them.

And now, it was nothing but the calm before the storm!

...

Three days later.

A helicopter arrived at the Zhou Mansion in Jiangbei, and Zhou Shihao, along with others, personally welcomed the arrival at the helipad in the backyard.

However.

When the helicopter was still thirty meters above the ground, a figure abruptly opened the cabin door. They leapt from the helicopter, crashing to the helipad like a missile.

The surface of the helipad cracked and splintered.

At the center of that rupture stood a middle-aged beauty in sportswear. Though of age, she still carried an enduring allure.

Immediately following her, another figure leapt down, landing beside her.

Zhou Shihao and the rest constricted their pupils slightly, a look of astonishment in their eyes, but soon, Zhou Shihao stepped forward with others, smiling at the middle-aged beauty, "Sister Chen, we’ve been waiting for you!"

The middle-aged beauty was the wife of Elder Wan from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, named Chen Lihua. Zhou Shihao had met her once before and called her "Sister" to express familiarity and warmth.
