Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Alchemy

“Great Uncle, don’t listen to their nonsense, they’re all lying!” Su Mingxuan still tried to argue.

“I might believe one person lying, but everyone? Do you expect me to believe that? Do you really think I’m a fool?” Su Yunlie’s face showed anger.

“Great Uncle, you didn’t witness what happened in the Demon Beast Mountain Range with your own eyes. Just based on what these few…”

“Bang!”

Su Mingxuan wanted to explain, but before he could finish his sentence, a muffled sound suddenly rang out, and his figure spurted blood and flew backward.

Surprised, Su Minghui beside him didn’t get a chance to react before a figure appeared in front of him, grabbed his neck, and harshly threw him out.

In an instant, both men were severely injured!

Only at this moment did everyone else come to their senses.

“Han’er, you…” Su Yunming’s eyes widened in shock.

Su Han lightly patted his hands and calmly said, “Why waste so much breath? Just settle it directly.”

“How dare you!”

Su Yunchen bellowed as he charged towards Su Han with a step.

“You dare to harm your own clan right before our eyes, have you lost your mind?”

“Get lost!”

Su Yunming also made his move, coldly shouting as his punch collided with Su Yunchen’s.

“Bang!”

Dragon Qi dissipated and the remaining force rippled outwards, causing Pang Qing and others to step back several paces, but Su Han remained unmoved.

“Su Yunming, you dare to block me?” Su Yunchen said angrily.

His son had been severely injured in the blink of an eye, so naturally, he was extremely angry.

“What if I block you? Or should I just watch you injure my son without interfering?” Su Yunming returned with a cold laugh.

Su Yunchen involuntarily looked at Su Yunpeng, “Youngest brother, your son has been knocked unconscious, and you’re still indifferent?”

Su Yunpeng’s face also darkened as he stood up.

“You dare!”

Su Yunlie coldly huffed, “Anyone who dares lay another hand on Su Han will not be spared, regardless of sentiment!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng’s expressions changed; among the four Family Heads, Su Yunlie had the highest cultivation base, being in the late stage of the Dragon Spirit Realm, while the three of them were all at the mid-stage.

Without extremely powerful methods, Su Yunlie could easily suppress them.

“Big brother, it’s true that Su Han has some talent, but are you going to favor him like this? Completely disregarding our clan rules?” Su Yunchen ground his teeth.

“Clan rules? You still know what clan rules are? Ask your son if he knows the clan rules!”

Su Yunlie said, “I don’t know what Su Han encountered in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but the fact that he returned alive is lucky enough. If he had died there, the deaths of your two precious sons would not have been regrettable!”

“The clan rules stipulate that deceiving fellow clan members shall result in the loss of one’s cultivation base!” Su Yunming coldly laughed.

“The matter is not yet clear; don’t come to me with clan rules!” Su Yunpeng glared at Su Yunming.

“Since Su Han has already taken action to discipline them, let’s put this matter aside for now. I will investigate it thoroughly.”

After pondering for a moment, Su Yunlie continued, “The day of Cold Cloud Sect’s disciple selection is approaching, and I want all family juniors to cultivate diligently. If there’s any more trouble from anyone, they will be directly expelled from the family!”

With these words, Su Yunlie swept his sleeves and left the hall.

“Let’s go back too,” Su Yunming said to Su Yunchen, shrugging his shoulders, which infuriated the latter.

“This isn’t over,” Su Han said, looking at Su Yunchen.

Su Yunchen scoffed, “Not over? What else do you intend to do? Kill Mingxuan and Minghui?”

“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare?” Su Han said calmly.

“Then try me!”

Su Han said indifferently, “If those two dare to do one more thing that displeases me, I will certainly take their lives!”

“You!”

Su Yunchen wanted to speak again, but Su Han had already turned around and left with Su Yunming, Pang Qing, Hu Feng, and others.

…

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days went by.

In the room, Su Han was sitting cross-legged with a large number of demon crystals in front of him.

Besides the demon crystals, there were also some spiritual objects, but the highest was only intermediate spiritual objects, and most were low-level spiritual objects.

These spiritual objects were all exchanged by Su Han within the clan using demon crystals.

Besides these, there was another item, a pill furnace.

“If it weren’t for the need to quickly open meridians in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I wouldn’t have devoured all the demon crystals like that,” Su Han muttered to himself.

Demon crystals are an important material for alchemy.

The pills refined from demon crystals combined with spiritual objects are worth many times more, and the medicinal effects contained within are much stronger than swallowing demon crystals and spiritual objects separately.

On the Lingwu Continent, pills are extremely important and also extremely precious.

Of course, this is also due to the extreme scarcity of alchemists.

Each alchemist on the Dragon Martial Continent holds a very lofty status, even the lowest-level alchemist is highly respected.

And in his previous life, one of the skills that Su Han mastered was alchemy.

Alchemy, artifact refining, formations…

Having lived for nearly a hundred million years, Su Han had already enhanced these skills to the pinnacle; with the same alchemy techniques and pill refining materials, the pills refined by Su Han were far stronger than those made by other alchemists, and the success rate was nearly one hundred percent.

Today, Su Han was planning to use these demon crystals and spiritual objects to refine pills.

“It’s been a long time since I last did alchemy, I wonder if I’ll be rusty.”

Su Han shook his head with a smile, looked at the materials in front of him, and murmured, “The materials are too scarce and too low-level, nothing like my previous life. This time… I’ll refine some ‘Ancient Spirit Pills’ then.”

Ancient Spirit Pills, the lowest level of pill that Su Han mastered in his previous life.

However, when Su Han in his past life mastered the art of alchemy, his cultivation base was already very high, and this so-called lowest-level pill, if placed on the Dragon Martial Continent, would still be extremely useful even for those in the Dragon Spirit Realm.

“Alchemy, artifact refining, formations… all these require a vast amount of materials, and the mere resources of the Su Family are far from enough. Even looking at the whole Yuanshan County, probably only the Cold Cloud Sect might be a little better,” Su Han said with a curl of his lip.

To him, the Cold Cloud Sect was just a bit stronger.

That was also his only reason for joining the Cold Cloud Sect.

As for that so-called bet with Su Yunchen and others, Su Han never paid it any mind.

“Whoosh~”

Flames soared up as the pill furnace was instantly heated to the point of emanating a fiery red color.

This flame, too, was purchased by Su Han and was known as ‘Earthfire’.

The flame needed for alchemy couldn’t be satisfied with just any ordinary flame.

In his previous life, the flame Su Han used was the ‘Hellfire of the Divine Flame’ that he obtained after overcoming countless hardships.

“Too slow.”

Su Han watched the surging of the Earthfire and shook his head, talking to himself: “It seems that in the future, if I come across some special flames, I should gather more of them.”

Half an hour later, Su Han made up his mind; with a wave of his hand, several First Order Demon Crystals and First-Level insight were immediately placed into the pill furnace.
