Chapter 326: Chapter 134 Dragon Blood Pill! The Omnipotent Su Tailai!_3
Upon learning of Su Changkong’s circumstances, Hong Zhenxiang mentioned that Su Changkong’s potential was no less than his, naturally sparking Pei Yang’s interest in winning him over. Hong had conveyed goodwill to Su Changkong, seeking to form a friendly bond with him.
“Fortunately, Pei Yang doesn’t know I once gave his brother a beating…” Su Changkong inwardly rejoiced that he had been cautious enough, because back then, Pei Chen had suffered a great loss at his hands. If Pei Yang were aware of this, it was uncertain whether he could easily laugh it off.
“There’s no need for such formality, what do you need? In this Dafeng State City, I do have some influence!”
Hong Zhenxiang laughed heartily.
Su Changkong knew that both Hong Zhenxiang and Pei Yang intended to curry favor with him. If he didn’t accept it, it would actually be awkward for them.
After some contemplation, Su Changkong said, “Brother Hong, I indeed have a favor to ask. I want to purchase some medicinal ingredients, but these are quite hard to come by on the market.”
With that, Su Changkong took out a list from his bosom.
The list was naturally for the ingredients needed for concocting the Dragon Blood Pill.
The Dragon Blood Pill was a high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Medicine, sufficient for a Martial Artist at the Qi-Blood Long Dragon realm to advance to the Qi-Blood Furnace realm. For the current Su Changkong, the Qi-Blood Pills were somewhat lacking in effectiveness.
To obtain the recipe for the Dragon Blood Pill, Su Changkong had indeed paid a significant price, accepting the commission from Blood Smoke Tower, killing Huangfu Honglang, and consequently running into the persistent Mu Jin, which eventually led to a series of events.
The ingredients for concocting the Dragon Blood Pill were very rare, many of which were monopolized by various large clans within Dafeng State City. To acquire them, one would have to pay an exorbitant price!
And among the major powers and families in Dafeng State City, the strongest was naturally the State Governor Mansion!
Asking Hong Zhenxiang for help in purchasing these ingredients was a simple task for Hong, but vitally important for Su Changkong, who was unfamiliar with the local area and lacked connections, saving him a great deal of trouble.
“Are you planning to concoct Qi-Blood type Pill Medicine?” Hong Zhenxiang took the list and glanced at it, seeing many ingredients beneficial for reinforcing Qi and replenishing blood. He immediately said cheerfully, “No problem, if you have the Pill Recipe, I can even ask our army’s Alchemy Master to directly concoct it for you, without any charge!”
Hong Zhenxiang readily agreed, even offering to let the army’s Alchemist concoct the pills for him free of charge.
In reality, the Alchemists in the army were trained by the Pei Family and were among the top in Dafeng State City.
“I’ll do it myself, no need to trouble them,” replied Su Changkong, shaking his head.
Having another Alchemy Master concoct the pills might not necessarily diminish the success rate compared to Su Changkong, but he also needed to improve his own Alchemy skills; it was definitely better to do it himself!
“Brother Su, do you know some impressive Alchemy Master?”
Hong Zhenxiang was slightly surprised, thinking that by ‘do it myself,’ Su Changkong meant finding a trusted Alchemist. It took him a moment to understand that when Su Changkong said he would handle it personally, he really meant it.
“Okay, no problem! Once we obtain the ingredients, I will have my confidant deliver them to your door!” Hong Zhenxiang nodded and agreed.
Su Changkong then took out his savings, the money he had accumulated from selling Qi-Blood Pills, about two million taels, and handed it all to Hong Zhenxiang to purchase the ingredients.
After talking with Su Changkong for a while, Hong Zhenxiang stood up to leave. His days were usually busy dealing with the rebel issues, and it was a squeeze to find time for this visit.
“Having good relations with the State Governor Mansion, at least for now, is very advantageous for me.”
Having seen Hong Zhenxiang to the gate and watching him disappear at the entrance of the street, Su Changkong shut the doors of the manor and thought to himself.
The State Governor Mansion was willing to befriend Su Changkong and do him favors. Su Changkong understood that if they needed his help for something, it would be difficult for him to refuse—there were no one-sided favors that didn’t require repayment! This was only fair!
It had to be said that as the rulers of Dafeng State City, their efficiency was terrifying. The evening of the following day after Su Changkong gave Hong Zhenxiang the list for the medicine, someone knocked on the gate of his residential manor.
Standing outside was a plainly dressed man, but with a distinctive soldier’s aura, always standing at attention. Upon seeing Su Changkong at the door, the man respectfully said, “My name is Di Hen, and Commander Hong sent me to deliver some items to you.”
Di Hen took out a sizable package filled with the ingredients required for the Dragon Blood Pill and handed it to Su Changkong, adding, “If there’s anything else you need, please let me know.”
Di Hen was also secretly astonished, wondering who this young man was that could command such respect from Hong Zhenxiang?
“If you’re free in a month, come back again, and please convey my thanks to Commander Hong.”
Su Changkong accepted the package full of ingredients and said this to Di Hen.
“Understood, I won’t disturb Mr. Su any further,” Di Hen nodded in agreement, then took his leave.
“It’s time to advance my Refining Blood realm!”
Looking at the package in his hands brimming with ingredients, excitement filled Su Changkong’s eyes.
In the nearly one year that had passed, Su Changkong had spent most of his time traveling, and his cultivation in the Qi-Blood realm had remained stagnant at Qi Blood Seven Transformation. However, for someone like Su Changkong who cultivated the Giant Whale Technique and had a digestion capacity far exceeding that of his peers, advancing his Qi-Blood realm would be no difficulty with sufficient resources!
