Chapter 219: Chapter 105: Qi and Blood 6 Transformations! 6th Realm Giant Whale Technique!_2
“How dare you!”
The moment these words were uttered, Gong Yuhu’s complexion changed, and the anger of the white-robed young man surged. His palm pressed against the hilt of the sword at his waist.
However, before the white-robed young man could draw his sword, Su Changkong, who was seated in the chair, moved without warning. His speed was so fast it surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could capture. With a downward press of his palm, he struck the right hand of the white-robed young man, which was grasping the sword hilt.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
In the midst of the dull exploding noise, the white-robed young man felt as if his right hand had been smashed by a hammer weighing thousands of pounds, emitting a piercing scream. His right hand’s bones shattered into pieces, with fragments piercing through the flesh and protruding out.
“My hand… my hand!”
The white-robed young man let out a piercing scream, in such pain that tears and snot flowed down his face.
This white-robed young man was not weak in the Martial Arts Realm, having completed Blood Refining more than once. He ought to be a genius Martial Artist cultivated by the Gong Family, but thinking of drawing his sword in front of Su Changkong was simply asking for trouble!
“A small punishment for a big lesson, let it not happen again! Cry out again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Su Changkong sat in the chair as if he hadn’t moved at all. His voice was cold and filled with a sense of murderous intent, which made the white-robed young man forcibly stop his howling. However, the pain was so intense that his body convulsed, he staggered backward, and he looked at Su Changkong with eyes filled with fear.
Only then did he remember that this ‘Sikong Yong’ was the frightening person who could single-handedly defeat over twenty Qi-Blood Realm sea pirates with ease!
Gong Yuhu felt a chill in his heart. This Sikong Yong was audacious to the extreme. They were from the Gong Family, and yet the other party struck without a moment’s hesitation, not giving any quarter?
Gong Yuhu gritted his teeth and said, “Gang Leader Sikong, your Giant Whale Gang has great power, but do you truly wish to make an enemy of our Gong Family?”
Su Changkong replied coldly, “It is your Gong Family that has grown too accustomed to looking down on others. If you really wish to fight, then I am more than willing to keep you company until the end! In my life, there is nothing I enjoy more than facing challenges!”
Su Changkong cared not whether he would offend the Gong Family. Previously, there had been no ill will between the Giant Whale Gang and the Gong Family. However, the Gong Family’s clandestine support for the sea pirates against the Giant Whale Gang had already made it clear that the Gong Family regarded them as enemies!
What’s more, this was not merely a matter of enmity between the Giant Whale Gang and the Gong Family but between him and the Gong Family!
“The same terms as before, one million taels of Silver and bring back the eight Divine Arm Crossbows.”
Su Changkong smiled.
The Gong Family had already treated the Giant Whale Gang as an enemy; showing a firm attitude might make the Gong Family understand that the Giant Whale Gang was not one to be trifled with and was always ready for war!
“I shall relay Gang Leader Sikong’s message to my elder brother… Let’s go,” Gong Yuhu took a deep breath, his expression very gloomy as he stood up and cupped his fist in the other hand.
“You are not dismissed. But if you wait too long… the price for the Divine Arm Crossbows might not be the same when the Gong Family decides to buy them back.”
Su Changkong spoke indifferently.
Gong Yuhu and the white-robed young man both quickened their steps, leaving the parlour and heading out of the Giant Whale Gang’s territory.
Outside the Giant Whale Gang’s premises, the white-robed young man clenched his teeth with resentment and said, “Uncle Yuhu, are we really going to let Sikong Yong be so insolent? Our Gong Family has never been provoked like this!”
Gong Yuhu responded calmly, “Enough, this Giant Whale Gang is not so easy to provoke, being a group that dares to fight and kill. They are currently very influential, and our Gong Family has more important matters at hand. It’s not wise to fall out with the Giant Whale Gang just yet.”
The Gong Family indeed had great influence, their power overwhelming in Ink Forest Prefecture City. However, the Giant Whale Gang was also one of the top gangs in Ink Forest Prefecture City, not to be taken lightly. And given the Gong Family’s way of pursuing their interests, they wouldn’t hastily enter into a war with such a powerful gang.
Of course, if the other party deliberately challenged the Gong Family’s authority, they would not shy away from the challenge!
The white-robed young man, not satisfied, muttered to himself with a cold huff, “The Giant Whale Gang? They will weaken sooner or later, whereas our Gong Family, well-established in the prefecture city, will forever prosper!”
The two gradually faded into the distance.
Having dealt with Gong Yuhu, Su Changkong did not know whether the Gong Family would obediently spend the money to buy back the Divine Arm Crossbows, but he felt quite relieved and refreshed.
“Next, I must transform the money obtained into strength!”
Su Changkong calmed his emotions, not forgetting his main task.
No matter how much money he had, it was all external to Su Changkong, who knew that real strength was the foundation.
Su Changkong asked Sikong Wen to help purchase the materials for the Qi-Blood Pills, and he began to practice Alchemy.
That’s the advantage of mastering Alchemy, taking matters into his own hands without worrying about being cheated by others.
Although Su Changkong was still an Alchemist in the Giant Whale Gang, Sikong Wen knew Su Changkong would not stay with the gang for long and was already training their own Alchemists.
Su Changkong then quietly began his Alchemy alone. When he first arrived in Ink Forest Prefecture City, Su Changkong had been worried about obtaining even a single batch of materials for the Qi-Blood Pill. Now, he was financially robust!
All kinds of materials were processed and tossed into the Alchemy Furnace by Su Changkong, whose Alchemy had reached the 6th Realm, ranking him among the top Alchemists in the entire Ink Forest Prefecture City!
In one day, Su Changkong could refine up to five furnaces of pills.
On the first day, Su Changkong’s luck wasn’t very good. Out of five furnaces of Qi-Blood Pills, only three pills were successfully made. Over ten thousand taels of Silver were consumed, but Su Changkong was not discouraged. As he grew more skilled, the yield rate of Qi-Blood Pills would increase, and with his current wealth, he could easily afford it!
“Eat them first.”
Su Changkong opened his mouth directly and swallowed one of the refined Qi-Blood Pills.
Before advancing to the Qi-Blood Realm, Su Changkong needed five days to assimilate a powerful Qi-Blood Pill.
But now, having reached the Qi Blood Four Transformation and with his Whale Technique at the 5th Realm, Su Changkong had a capacity for food and a speed of pill assimilation that far exceeded those of his peers!
