If it were only Elder Su Chang and Elder Su Ruosu at work, it would be hard to say whether or not they could stand against Guo Chudong.
But with the multiple layers of formation in the medicinal garden, even if Guo Chudong is a first-order Land Master at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he would inevitably be trapped to death here.
Outside the medicinal garden.
Lin Kui is trying to lead the Cultivators of the Lin Family to attack the formation of the medicinal garden. Although they could shake the defensive formation barrier, causing ripples to spread across it.
But trying to break through the formation to rescue Guo Chudong and Lin Hai, it was far from enough.
Lin Kui was both horrified and furious, his face constantly changing. He gnashed his teeth and bellowed out: “Su Chang, I know you can hear me.”
“Release Lin Hai, my Lin Family will no longer be adversaries with your Su Family from now on, and we will not lay hands on this first-order Spirit Vein.”
“I, Lin Kui, always stand by my words.”
However, after waiting for a while, there was no response from the formation, and the surrounding hills were deathly quiet. There were no birds; the silence was intimidating.
Unable to hold back his fury, Lin Kui bellowed: “Su Chang, if you dare lay a hand on Lin Hai, don’t blame my Lin Family for holding a grudge against your Su Family to the death!”
“If you want to die, make your move!”
Lin Kui was ranting outside the medicinal garden. He tried everything, but the people inside the formation ignored him.
Seeing that a considerable amount of time had passed, Lin Kui clenched his teeth and turned on his heel, barking out: “Let’s go!”
“Return to the clan!”
They had been had.
Murderous intent was flickering in Lin Kui’s eyes; he even considered killing Guo Chudong, the Land Master.
Because he suspected this was a conspiracy between Guo Chudong and the Su Family, aimed at dealing with their Lin Family.
But on second thought, it didn’t add up.
If Guo plotted with the Su Family against their Lin Family, he should have trapped all of them into the garden.
Only then, with numerous ambushes in place, could they deal severe damage to the Lin Family.
Only one of them, Lin Hai, was trapped now. Although the Lin Family lost an elder, their loss was still manageable.
Therefore, Guo Chudong must have not betrayed the Lin Family.
So, what exactly was going on?
Didn’t Guo say that the Monster Group of Earth Rock Rats hiding beneath the Spirit Vein was already stirring up trouble against the Su Family?
“Could it be possible that their Medicinal Garden’s formation could also suppress so many monsters? Impossible, even if it could handle a few dozens of monsters.’
“But those are hundreds of monsters, even if Su Chang controlled the formation and used up all his mana, he would only be able to deal with some of them.”
Lin Kui was confused: “Moreover, didn’t Guo say that he had tampered with the formation of the Su Family’s Medicinal Garden?”
“Logically speaking, they should be left to deal with the revolt of the Earth Rock Rat Monster Group.”
If that was the case, there would have been no problem in controlling the Su Family with an alliance between the Lin Family and Guo Chudong.
But why did the Su Family have no trouble at all?
The formation was also not destroyed.
Of course, Lin Kui and the others could not think that what they saw as the most threatening Earth Rock Rat Monster Group was effortlessly controlled by a younger generation of the Su Family with medicine.
Not only was there no loss, but almost two hundred monsters were also captured for the Su Family.
Lin Kui led the Lin Family members to retreat.
Inside the garden, the trapped Guo Chudong was surprisingly composed and even started chatting with the members of the Su Family.
“So, by causing the Earth Rock Rat Monster Group to riot, I am actually doing you guys a favor?” Guo Chudong was surprised.
Why didn’t you get rid of the Earth Rock Rat Monster Group in advance? What the hell were you keeping it for?
Guo Chudong was a bit upset.
He did not expect this, otherwise, he would not have plotted against the Su Family like this.
After more than an hour.
The head of the Su Family, Su Peng, arrived in person, along with several Su Family elders. In no time, they captured Guo Chudong who was trapped within the formation, controlling him.
Inside the medicine tower.
After hearing what Su Chang had said, Su Peng was left with lingering fear.
If Guo Chudong and the Lin Family had succeeded, their Su Family would have definitely suffered greatly.
Not only would the medicinal garden be unable to be saved, they would also face the risk of extermination.
By then, they could only ensure the survival of the Su Family seeds by escaping far away from River City.
Thinking of this, Su Peng’s gaze towards Su Yu became extremely gentle.
Knowing Su Yu’s character and moderation from the Third Elder, he asked, “Little Yu, what reward would you like? Just say it, as long as our family can afford it.
Su Yu shook his head and said, “Family Head, there’s no need for that. I am a member of the Su Family. The family has raised me since I was little. Now that our family is facing a threat, I should naturally do everything in my power to protect our family.”
Su Peng interrupted: “I’m very comforted that you think this way, but rewarding merit is still necessary. If there’s a merit, there should be a reward. The family can’t be without rules.”
“Take some time to think about what you want.”
Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, “I should be able to break through to the fourth layer of Qi Refinement within one or two years. At that time, I want to find a master to learn Alchemy, and I hope that the Family Head can help me achieve this.”
Su Peng, Su Chang, Su Ruosu, and the others were all taken aback for a moment.
This
What kind of reward is this?
Su Peng looked at Su Yu deeply, then said, “Forget it, I will discuss the matter of rewards with the other Elders when the time comes.’
“As for your wish to learn Alchemy, you can talk to the Third Elder about it
then. It’s not a big deal.”
He waved his hand and dismissed Su Yu.
Su Peng looked at the family elders and laughed helplessly: “This kid is crafty, not making any demands for a reward, but it actually gives us a headache.”
Su Chang chuckled: “Family Head, he previously handed over the formula of the Beast Attraction Powder to the family. The effect of the medicine is truly remarkable. Even a late-stage Earth Rock Rat in a frenzied state couldn’t resist the lure of the medicine, and upon eating it, it fell to the ground instantly.”
“I’ve never heard of this medicine before, which means that none of the families within the Yunjian Sect have this medicine.”
“And the Earth Rock Rat monster — almost every Spirit Vein has them — Upon hearing this, the eyes of Su Peng, Su Ruosu and the others lit up.
In that case, the value of this medicine formula is not small.
But considering this, the problem of how to reward Su Yu became even more vexing.
After a long silence.
Su Ruosu suddenly said, “It’s not advisable for Su Zhi to return to the family as she has her own path to follow in the Yunjian Sect.”
“Then, who will succeed the Su Family in the future?”
When Su Yu got back to his own room, he chatted for a while with his master, Su Changyu, and his three senior disciples. They were all extremely shocked by Su Yu’s performance in the crisis this time.
After his initial shock, Su Changyu was actually quite pleased. He was happy for Su Yu.
This time, he saw clearly that Su Yu was truly extraordinary and his future achievements were definitely beyond his own.
Perhaps Su Yu could even become one of the elders in the family in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Changyu was very happy. After all, having a disciple who becomes an elder would reflect well on him as a teacher.
After Su Changyu and the others had left, the sky was beginning to lighten.
Su Qingyi came to find Su Yu. His face looked a bit complicated as he said,
“Now I see, you have as many secrets as I do.”
Su Yu chuckled, didn’t explain, and said, “I don’t suppose you came to see me just to say this?”
Su Qingyi nodded and said, “I initially planned to tell you in a couple of days, but I didn’t expect this to happen today. I’ve already secured an opportunity to become an Alchemy apprentice at the Yunshan Market Pill Pavilion. I’ll be leaving at the end of the month.”
“That’s a good thing.” Su Yu said, sharing Su Qingyi’s joy.
Two friends who once participated in the Yunjian Sect’s entrance examination together, one chose to stay in the sect to cultivate, the other achieved one goal after another with the family’s support.
As for himself, he was also going through phases of cultivation methodically.
Each had their own experiences, their own highlights..
