“First Uncle, don’t listen to their bullshit. They’re all lying!” Su Mingxuan still tried to argue.
“I might believe it if only one person lied, but do you really expect me to believe that everyone is lying? Do you take me for a fool?” A livid expression appeared on Su Yunlie’s face.
“First Uncle, you didn’t personally witness what happened at Fiend Beast Mountain Range yourself… How could you rely on just their…”
Bam!
Before Su Mingxuan could finish, a dull sound arose, and he flew backwards, puking out fresh blood.
This startled Su Minghui, who was beside Su Mingxuan. However, before he could react, a shadow appeared in front of him before grabbing him by the neck and tossing him aside.
The two suffered heavy injuries in an instant, before anyone could respond.
“Hanny, you…” Su Yunming stared at Su Han with wide eyes.
Su Han dusted his hands off lightly and calmly said, “What’s with all the bullshit? Just deal with it directly.”
“Ridiculous!”
Su Yunchen yelled as he stepped forward and charged towards Su Han.
“You dare hit your own clan member in front of us? This is an act of rebellion!”
“Piss off!”
Su Yunming also sent out a punch to meet Su Yunchen’s fist as he coldly shouted.
Bam!
Dragon aura scattered and aftershocks fluctuated in the surroundings. Pang Qing and the others took a couple of steps back; only Su Han remained standing there.
“Su Yunming, you want to get in my way?” Su Yunchen said furiously.
Su Yunchen’s son had been heavily injured in the blink of an eye, so naturally, he was feeling extremely angry.
“So what if I do? Or am I supposed to stand and watch you beat up my son?” Su Yunming sneered.
Su Yunchen couldn’t help but look at Su Yunpeng. “Third brother, your son has been knocked unconscious. Are you going to do nothing about it?”
Su Yunpeng stood up, his face dark.
“You dare?”
Su Yunlie coldly snorted, “I won’t show any mercy to whoever dares lay a finger on Su Han!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yunchen’s and Su Yunpeng’s expressions changed. Su Yunlie’s cultivation was the highest among the four patriarchs. He was a late stage Dragon Spirit Realm cultivator, while the other three patriarchs were only middle stage Dragon Spirit Realm cultivators.
Su Yunlie could easily suppress them unless they had some extremely strong external advantage.
“Big brother, Su Han is indeed talented, but how could you favor him just because of that? What about the clan rules?” Su Yunchen gritted his teeth.
“Clan rules? Do you respect the clan rules? Does your son?”
Su Yunlie said, “I don’t know what happened to Su Han in Fiend Beast Mountain Range but we’re already very fortunate that he came back alive. If he had died there, then your two ‘good’ sons also wouldn’t deserve to live!”
“The clan rules state that sabotaging our own clansman calls for the abolishment of one’s cultivation!” Su Yunming snorted.
“This matter has still not been thoroughly investigated. Don’t talk to me about clan rules right now!” Su Yunpeng glared at Su Yunming.
“Since Su Han has already punished them, let’s put this down for now. I’ll make a thorough investigation.”
Su Yunlie thought momentarily before saying, “The Frost Cloud Sect’s recruitment day is about to come, so all you juniors better work hard on cultivating. If anyone causes any more trouble, then he’ll be banished from the clan!”
After Su Yunlie spoke, he flung his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
“Let’s head back as well.”
Su Yunming shrugged at Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng, angering them even more.
“This isn’t the end of it.” Su Han looked at Su Yunchen.
Su Yunpeng coldly snorted. “Isn’t the end of it? What are you going to do? Kill Mingxuan and Minghui?”
“You think I wouldn’t dare?” Su Han said calmly.
“I’d like to see you try!”
Su Han said indifferently, “If those two annoy me one more time, then I’ll make sure to take their lives.”
“You…”
Su Yunchen wanted to continue speaking, but Su Han had already turned around and left with Pang Qing, Hu Feng, and the others.
…
Time flew by and, in the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Su Han sat cross-legged in his room, in front of his numerous fiend crystals.
Aside from the fiend crystals, there were also some spirit items. However, the highest grade among them were only middle grade spirit items, and most of them were of low grade.
Su Han had traded some of his fiend crystals to his clan for these spirit items.
Aside from these, there was another thing—a pill furnace.
“While in Fiend Beast Mountain Range, I would not have swallowed all those fiend crystals if not for wanting to quickly open my meridians,” Su Han mumbled.
Fiend crystals were important ingredients for refining pills.
The tonic pills made from combining fiend crystals and spirit items sold for several times more than their components. Moreover, the benefits of the tonic contained within were also much stronger than just directly swallowing fiend crystals or spirit items.
Tonic pills were especially important and valuable items in the Martial Dragon Continent.
Of course, this was also because alchemists were extremely rare.
Every alchemist in the Martial Dragon Continent held an extremely prestigious status. Even ones of the lowest tier were well respected.
As for Su Han, one of the skills he had mastered in his past life was pill refining.
Pill refining, blacksmithing, formations…
With the hundreds of millions of years Su Han had lived, he had long since perfected these skills to their peak. Su Han could use the same pill brewing techniques and the same ingredients to brew a tonic pill that was far better than the pills made by other alchemists. Furthermore, his success rate was practically one hundred percent.
Today, Su Han decided to use these fiend crystals and the spirit items to refine a pill.
“It’s been a while since I last made one. Don’t know if I am going to be rusty…”
Su Han shook his head with a smile and mumbled at the ingredients in front of him, “There’re too few ingredients and their grade is too low; it’s incomparable to what I had in my past life… I guess I’ll brew some Ancient Spirit pills for now.”
Ancient Spirit Pills were the lowest grade of tonic pill Su Han had mastered in his past life.
When Su Han mastered brewing pills in his past life, his cultivation had already been extremely high. However, in the Martial Dragon Continent, this so-called low grade tonic pill was extremely useful for Dragon Spirit Realm cultivators.
“Pill refining, blacksmithing, formations… these all require a large amount of ingredients and materials. None of this can be obtained with the Su Clan’s background. In the entire Far Mountain Province, the Frost Cloud Sect would probably be a little bit better.” Su Han pursed his lips.
For Su Han, the Frost Cloud Sect was only slightly better.
This was also the sole reason that Su Han wanted to join the Frost Cloud Sect.
As for that bet he had made with Su Yunchen and the others, he had never taken it to heart.
“Phew…”
The flames rose, and a bright red flame emerged in the smoking pill furnace in an instant.
The flame was also something Su Han had bought. It was called ‘earth fire’.
The flame needed for pill brewing could not be substituted with any ordinary flame.
The flame Su Han used in his past life was ‘Hellfire of the Gods’, which he had obtained through much struggle.
“It’s too slow.”
Su Han looked at the earth fire dance. Then, he shook his head and mumbled to himself, “Looks like if I come across any special flames in the future, I’m going to have to obtain more of them.”
After an hour, Su Han’s heart calmed and he waved his hand, dropping several grade-one fiend crystals and grade-one spirit items into the pill furnace.
