Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Black Crow Makes a Move _1

Xu Nanzhi brought Su Chengyu to the basement of Hong Zhen Ting’s house, pointing to the robust anti-theft door of the basement and saying, "Only Hong Zhen Ting and Ren Qianzhong know the passcode for this door. Can you unlock it?"

"Let me first see what treasures are inside."

Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense pierced through the anti-theft door and explored Hong Zhen Ting’s collection room. The room indeed had a spacious area, and just as Xu Nanzhi had said, Hong Zhen Ting loved collecting.

In his collection room, there were antique jades, porcelain paintings that were all worth a fine amount. In addition to these, Hong Zhen Ting had also collected quite a few good wines. Even some of the furniture in the collection room had significant value.

Su Chengyu wasn’t interested in these items. His Divine Sense discovered herbs in the cupboards of the collection room. Ginseng, Purplevine, Lingzhi, these were all essential herbs for Su Chengyu’s Alchemy.

Su Chengyu’s face revealed a pleasant expression. He was rather satisfied with Hong Zhen Ting’s collection and soon opened the heavy anti-theft door of the collection room with a slap.

"Hong Zhen Ting has left me quite a generous gift."

Su Chengyu took out these medicinal herbs one by one. With these herbs, and those he had stored before, he had enough to refine another batch of Heavenly Pills. Plus, he had the Snake Gallbladder from the Black-scaled Python. The quality of the Heavenly Pill would be higher, and the medicinal effects would be even better. He entirely had the opportunity to break through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm in one go.

"This Lingzhi is huge. It should be the highest quality among all the herbs here."

Xu Nanzhi said, holding a stalk of Lingzhi.

Su Chengyu took it and glanced at it, "This Lingzhi must be at least two hundred years old. But unfortunately, it has lost its spiritual essence. It’s of no use now."

The value of these herbs didn’t lie in their medicinal properties, but in the fact that they possessed a spiritual essence.

Ginseng and Lingzhi can absorb nature’s spiritual energy and form a spiritual essence. The older they are, the richer the spiritual essence.

Plants that can generate a spiritual essence can also be called spiritual medicine. Harvesting and preserving spiritual medicine requires careful handling. Otherwise, if the spiritual essence is destroyed, they become ordinary herbs and can no longer be used for Alchemy.

This Lingzhi’s spiritual essence had been destroyed, and thus it was of no use to Su Chengyu.

"According to what you said, wouldn’t those hundred-year-old trees be even more useful to you?" Xu Nanzhi asked with doubt after hearing Su Chengyu’s explanation on spiritual medicine.

"If a tree could nurture a spiritual essence, of course, it could be used for Alchemy. However, trees generally don’t have the ability to nurture a spiritual essence, which is the unique property of herbs like Ginseng and Lingzhi. Of course, nothing is absolute. If a tree does nurture a spiritual essence, it could turn into a spirit tree. If an animal acquired a spiritual essence, it would naturally turn into a beast."

Su Chengyu patiently explained.

"So that’s how demons come about. I understand now." Xu Nanzhi nodded.

After stripping the collection room of all the spiritual medicine, Su Chengyu was eager to return home and start making the pill, whereas Xu Nanzhi stayed behind to deal with Hong Zhen Ting’s belongings with the housekeeper, Xie Wanrong.

After Su Chengyu returned home, he took out all the herbs from his storage bag and immediately started making the pill.

The man sent by Feng Huaqiang from the Black Dragon Commerce Association, Hei Ya, arrived in Lin Jiang. This person was even stronger than Ren Qianzhong, a genuine Fourth Level Grandmaster, a rare rival in the same level.

After Hei Ya arrived in Lin Jiang, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Yuan Cang, where are you?" Hei Ya asked.

"Master? Why are you in Lin Jiang?"

Li Yuancang was taken aback. When Ren Qianzhong sent him to Jiangyang for martial arts practice, he was taken under the wing of Hei Ya.

"On a mission." Hei Ya replied coldly.

"To kill Su Chengyu?" Li Yuancang’s heart thumped. Hei Ya was sent to Lin Jiang on a mission at this time, which had to be related to Su Chengyu.

"Yes! Do you know where he is? Tell your master."

Hei Ya had absolute confidence in his abilities, Li Yuancang hesitated and muttered, "I...I don’t know."

"Useless thing, what use are you to me?"

After saying that, Hei Ya immediately hung up the phone, but Li Yuancang was left somewhat helpless and quickly dialed Su Chengyu’s number.

At this time, Su Chengyu was making the pill, and his phone was on silent. No one answered, so Li Yuancang had no choice but to quickly consult Zeng Yifan.

"If your master is indeed a Fourth Level Grandmaster, then Su Chengyu is in danger. I didn’t expect the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s retaliation to come so quickly." Zeng Yifan said, raising an eyebrow.

"Not only is he strong, but he’s also ruthless and relentless. He’s someone who would use any means to kill Brother Yu. Initially, there were over thirty of us who became his disciples, but in the end, only three of us survived. The rest of my fellow apprentices all died by his hands."

Li Yuancang couldn’t help but recall the time he was learning martial arts under Hei Ya and felt a chill run down his spine.

Although it was a master-disciple relationship, Hei Ya never treated them as disciples. Instead, he trained them brutally. He initially made all the disciples fight each other to eliminate the weakest.

Then, Hei Ya trained them again, each of them had to spar with him. Those who couldn’t resist would be killed by Hei Ya on the spot.

Every time Li Yuancang fought with Hei Ya, it felt like walking on thin ice, sparring with Hei Ya meant life or death. Even a lighter injury would lay him up for a month or two.

Being able to successfully graduate felt like a great fortune. Li Yuancang didn’t have much respect for Hei Ya—only fear.

Hei Ya’s methods were too cruel and ghastly.

"Did he really use such brutal methods to teach his disciples? Indeed, a ruthless person who is somewhat twisted." Zeng Yifan also found it chilling after hearing it.

"What disciples? In his eyes, we’re nothing more than ants! In his words, only the people who have undergone such brutal training are qualified to serve the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Otherwise, they’re all waste."

Li Yuancang bitterly laughed, "Hei Ya is very strong. Even though he’s a Fourth-Level Grandmaster, he has the power comparable to a Fifth Grade. Brother Yi Fan, try to find Brother Yu and discuss a plan. I’ll go find Hei Ya. I’ll buy as much time as possible."

"Alright! You are still recovering from severe injuries. Be careful."

Zeng Yifan nodded and split up from Li Yuancang.

Zeng Yifan rushed to the Jade View Garden and saw Su Chengyu had put up a ’Do not disturb’ sign on his door. He knew that Su Chengyu was refining a pill and absolutely couldn’t be disturbed, or else the pellet would be ruined. Thus, he could only wait in place.

Before coming, Hei Ya had read Su Chengyu’s profile and knew that his sister attended Lin University. Although there’s a rule in the martial world that you can’t harm another’s family members, Hei Ya didn’t care about it at all.

Rules of the martial world were bullshit to Hei Ya. Only the powerful have the right to talk about rules.

Hei Ya didn’t want to waste time looking for Su Chengyu, so he decided to go straight to kidnap Su Xiaoxiao. Su Chengyu would naturally appear before him. Hei Ya had seen a picture of Su Xiaoxiao. The innocent-looking young girl appealed to him.

Since it was Su Chengyu’s sister, Hei Ya had no intention of being polite. He intended to enjoy it as he should.
