Chapter 1890 - 1890 1880 Chu Family in Crisis

1890: Chapter 1880: Chu Family in Crisis 1890: Chapter 1880: Chu Family in Crisis “The Muye Clan won’t make a move against the Chu Family for now.

Given Muye Xingdong’s usual cautious style, he’ll only proceed step by step and won’t take any rash actions,”

Chu Yuqin pondered for a moment before speaking.

She understood Muye Xingdong well.

He was always cautious in his actions, and even though he knew that the Patriarch of Chu Family, Chu Yunxiao, was poisoned with high toxicity, he would not aggressively attack the Chu Family unless he was absolutely certain of success.

“We must find a way to suppress the Muye Clan.”

The Third Elder said in a deep voice.

The top priority was to find the Lifeless Poison Fruit to cure the clan leader, Chu Yunxiao, and next, to find a reliable power to depend on—preferably one that could counterbalance the forces of Demon Desolation Mountain.

“After that matter, I will go to Medicine King Valley.

With the deterrence of Medicine King Valley; the Muye Clan probably won’t dare to cause chaos,”

Chu Yuqin said.

As long as she entered Medicine King Valley, she was confident that she could become their core disciple.

At that time, getting Medicine King Valley to protect the Chu Family wouldn’t be difficult.

“What about Second Young Master’s vengeance?”

The Great Elder asked.

Currently, the Chu Family faced a dilemma.

If they did not seek revenge, it would boost the Muye Clan’s arrogance, but taking action was something the Chu Family dared not do lightly.

“Second brother’s vengeance must be sought, but not now.

Let us put it aside for a while,”

Chu Yuqin said, her fists clenched tight, her knuckles turning white.

The Chu Family absolutely couldn’t make a move against the Muye Clan now, but not taking action would definitely boost the Muye Clan’s arrogance, further confirming their belief in Chu Yunxiao’s imminent danger.

But for the Chu Family, there was simply no other choice—they had no options.

“Young lady, there is one more thing.”

The Great Elder said, “Not too long ago, the Muye Clan somehow hired an Alchemist who concocted the Blood Lotus Pill for them.

With the appearance of the Blood Lotus Pill, the Muye Clan has nearly monopolized the entire Elixir Market.

Many Commercial Associations are intending to cooperate with the Muye Clan, and our store is deserted.”

The Blood Lotus Pill is an authentic middle-stage pill that is extraordinarily effective for healing wounds, and its quality is so high that it surpasses all other pills previously available on the market.

Ever since the Muye Clan introduced the Blood Lotus Pill, they’ve faced overwhelming demand, and various Chambers of Commerce are also interested in cooperating with them, putting pressure on the Chu Family’s business.

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin, whose expression was originally solemn, suddenly looked alarmed.

If the Muye Clan were to seize control of the Pill Market, the economic downturn of the Chu Family could lead to a situation where resources would run out, and as their strength diminished while the other side’s increased, the danger to the Chu Family would grow even greater.

The Muye Clan’s move was ruthless, comparable to pulling out the cornerstone from underneath a pot.

“The Alchemist hired by the Muye Clan must be at the True Grade Peak level.

How could such an Alchemist be swayed to join the Muye Clan?”

The Chu Family and the Muye Clan both had their own Alchemists, but they were only at the middle stage of True Grade.

To concoct a highly-qualified Blood Lotus Pill was nearly impossible, so the Alchemist that the Muye Clan enlisted must surely be at the peak of True Grade.

“I will go to Savage Ancient City tomorrow to see the situation for myself.”

Chu Yuqin declared.

She decided to personally visit Savage Ancient City, as she could not allow the Muye Clan to dominate the Pill Market.

The next morning, Long Yan, Long Chen, and Brother Zhan Wushuang had just awoken from their cultivation when Chu Yuqin arrived in the Courtyard.

“Miss Chu, your timing is perfect.

We have two matters for which we need your assistance,”

Long Yan approached and said to Chu Yuqin.

He was about to look for Chu Yuqin himself.

“What matters?”

Chu Yuqin inquired.

“Miss Chu, please take a look at this first.”

Long Yan took out a piece of beast hide and handed it to Chu Yuqin.

He had studied the beast hide but couldn’t discern anything, and since he was unfamiliar with the Eastern Wasteland Plane, he couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Perhaps Chu Yuqin could discover something.

“What is this?”

Chu Yuqin asked with curiosity.

“This is a treasure map I traded from Tie San.

Unfortunately, it is only a partial map.”

Long Yan replied truthfully.

“A treasure map?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin carefully examined the animal hide and saw some patterns and lines sketched on it, but could only make out a rough outline.

“This treasure map is missing the most crucial part.

From what can be seen here, it closely resembles Sky Burn Valley.”

Chu Yuqin’s tone was also somewhat uncertain.

“What is Sky Burn Valley?”

Long Chen asked.

Just by the name alone, it didn’t sound like a simple place.

“Sky Burn Valley is a perilous area.

It is said to be inhabited by a Demonic Beast comparable to a God King.

No one dares to approach it,” Chu Yuqin explained, and then said, “This treasure map is missing a part, it’s not necessarily Sky Burn Valley.

Even if it is, with that Demonic Beast there, I wouldn’t dare take the risk.

You should abandon this idea.”

After speaking, Chu Yuqin returned the animal hide to Long Yan.

“Let’s go have a look anyway.

We should act according to circumstances,” Long Yan said.

Since there was a chance that Sky Burn Valley had a treasure, he naturally wanted to try his luck.

If it turned out as Chu Yuqin said, with a powerful Demonic Beast lurking there, they would play it by ear.

It wouldn’t be too late to give up if it was truly impossible to get close.

“If you insist on going, I’ll accompany you,” Chu Yuqin said.

“But not now.

You’ll come with me to Savage Ancient City first, and we can talk about it after solving the troubles there.”

She had decided to take the three Long Yan brothers to Savage Ancient City.

Long Yan was an Alchemist and might be of use.

“What happened in Savage Ancient City?” Long Yan inquired.

“It’s like this, not long ago, the Muye Clan invited an Alchemist of True Grade Peak Level…” Chu Yuqin narrated at length, briefly recounting the situation in Savage Ancient City.

“I see.”

After listening, Long Yan, Long Chen, and Zhan Wushuang all understood.

The move made by the Muye Clan was indeed clever, leaving Chu Family with no grounds for argument.

“If the Muye family gets control of the Pill Market, the Chu Family will be in danger.

Almost all of Chu Family’s Alchemists are gathered in Savage Ancient City.

We’ll head over now to see if we can figure out a way to turn the tables,” said Chu Yuqin.

“In that case, let’s accompany the young lady to Savage Ancient City,” Long Yan said.

He was preparing to earn Divine Stones by selling Elixirs, and now the opportunity had arisen.

Savage Ancient City seemed even more appropriate than Sky Punishment City.

“By the way, you mentioned there were two matters.

What’s the second one?” Chu Yuqin asked.

Just now, Long Yan had only mentioned one matter.

“It’s embarrassing to say, but we brothers are short on funds.

We wanted to buy some cultivation resources, but we couldn’t get the Divine Stones.

We thought to ask the Chu Family for some,” Long Yan did not conceal anything and stated directly.

“No problem,” Chu Yuqin agreed immediately and said, “I don’t have many Divine Stones on hand at the moment.

How about this, you accompany me to Savage Ancient City first, and I will give you the Divine Stones once we get there.”

As Guardians of the Chu Family, requesting some Divine Stones from the family wasn’t excessive for the three Long Yan brothers.

“Thank you, young lady!” Long Yan nodded and thanked her.

Immediately, the three Long Yan brothers followed Chu Yuqin, left Sky Punishment City, and set out towards Savage Ancient City.
