“Alright, the outsiders have all left. Let’s get back to the topic.” Han Zhao changed the topic and looked at Shui Jingfeng, who was sitting on the right.
“Water Envoy.”
“Young Sect Master,” Shui Jingfeng stood up and replied.
“Have you counted all the brothers who died in the battle on Fallen Phoenix Island?”
“Yes, a total of 237 members died in battle. Among them, four Hall Masters
and Vice Hall Masters died in battle, and 27 Incense Masters died in battle,” Shui Jingfeng said in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the field instantly became much heavier.
“The compensation for all those who died in battle will be paid double according to the gang rules. You must hand it over to their families in full. If you leave behind an orphan and a widow, the middle generation of the gang will take care of them. If anyone bullies their families, they will definitely not be tolerated!”
Han Zhao said in a low voice.
He checked the rules of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang and understood
Shangguan Yunfei’s style of doing things through Yan Jing and Shui Jingfeng.
Although this person was not stingy, he was domineering and liked to live an extravagant and luxurious life. Most of the money earned by the gang was squandered by him.
When the world mentioned the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, they all said that it was the Shangguan family’s Furious Flood Dragon Gang.
“Thank you, Young Sect Master!”
“On behalf of our families, we thank Young Sect Master for your kindness!” The gang members in the field cheered loudly.
They risked their lives so that they could set up a cone in this cruel world and let their families live a good life.
Han Zhao’s words hit the nail on the head.
They did not want to hear any impassioned nonsense. Money was the most practical!
“Young Sect Master, this…” Shui Jingfeng looked troubled.
“What’s wrong?” Han Zhao glanced at him.
“Young Sect Master’s suggestion is naturally to benefit the members. I agree. However, in order to support Young Sect Master in refining pills, the sect has expended a lot of money, and there’s not much money left in the accounts,” Shui Jingfeng explained.
Everyone’s faces fell.
There was no point in giving false promises.
“That’s simple.” Han Zhao smiled confidently. “My alchemy skills have improved greatly recently. I don’t have to worry about not having a way to earn money.”
He waved his right hand, and dozens of porcelain bottles immediately appeared on the ground in front of him. “These are the pills I’ve been practicing for the past year. Most of them are low-grade pills, but they’re basically of middle-grade quality. I don’t have to worry about their sales.”
“Mainly middle-grade?”
“Young Sect Master is only 23 years old this year, right?!”
Everyone in the field was stunned. Even if they were not alchemists, they knew the huge difference between low-grade and middle-grade medicinal pills. The medicinal strength of a middle-grade medicinal pill was twice that of a low-grade one.
Everyone’s efficiency in refining medicinal pills was different. middle-grade medicinal pills had better effects and were easier to absorb.
“In addition, there’s also this bottle of Blood Qi Pills. I recently refined four pills in a furnace. One of them is of middle-grade quality.” Han Zhao took out another porcelain bottle.
“Middle-grade Blood Qi Pill!” This time, even Shui Jingfeng could not sit still.
To be able to refine a middle-grade Blood Qi Pill, it meant that Han Zhao’s alchemy skills had already surpassed Yan Jing’s. How old was he?
The most important thing was that it should be able to satisfy the Sect Master’s recovery requirements.
“My current success rate in refining the Blood Qi Pill is about 40%. My success rate in refining the Five Elements Pill is 35%. The lack of compensation will be quickly filled,” Han Zhao added.
Everyone’s eyes lit up. To an early-stage martial artist, money was more important than aptitude and talent.
A pig could be fattened up with money.
However, as his realm increased, many resources had to be queued up to buy even if they had money. They could not even be bought.
The Blood Qi Pill had a miraculous effect on breaking through to the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. It could greatly shorten the process of accumulating blood qi.
Furthermore, Han Zhao could refine middle-grade Blood Qi Pills.
“Young Sect Master…” Someone couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Han Zhao raised his hand and interrupted him. “I know what you want to say. As long as you collect enough materials, I can help you refine medicinal pills for free.”
“Of course, it’s only limited to middle-grade medicinal pills. Low-grade medicinal pills can no longer improve my alchemy skills.”
“Thank you, Young Sect Master!”
The gang members in the field were overjoyed. Many people bowed to him.
Compared to money, medicinal pills were what many people dreamed of.
Although there were two middle-grade alchemists in the sect, Yan Jing was highly respected and not someone ordinary people could disturb.
As for the other alchemist, Zhang Huang, he had a strange temper. The success rate of middle-grade pills was only about 20%.
Most of the time, they spent a lot of time and money, and spent a lot of effort to gather three to four sets of medicinal herbs. In the end, they all failed. It was better to add more money to buy them.
“Everyone, there’s no need to be so polite.” Han Zhao waved at everyone and looked at Shui Jingfeng. “Let the Water Envoy draw up a regulation for this matter.”
Han Zhao didn’t want to be a saint, but after defeating a large number of pirates in the Jambu Sea, the Furious Flood Dragon Gang’s sphere of influence would expand rapidly in the future. If he couldn’t increase everyone’s sense of belonging to the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, there would be a huge problem in the future sooner or later.
He would not stay here forever. There was a wider world waiting for him outside.
However, the Furious Flood Dragon Gang was a treasure bowl, so he naturally had to hold it firmly in his hand.
“Yes, Young Sect Master!” Shui Jingfeng said seriously. Han Zhao’s current alchemy skills could already help Grandmaster-level martial artists like them refine pills to break through. At this moment, he treated Han Zhao as an equal existence from the bottom of his heart, or even slightly higher.
The Furious Flood Dragon Gang had the technology to salvage the Five Elements Divine Sand in the Long Forest River and the Southern Viewing Sea, so Grandmasters like them did not lack resources for Visceral Tempering.
Although Grandmaster-level experts could no longer be considered mortals, their internal organs were still weak.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The characteristics of each Five Elements Qi were different. They had to be careful when fusing with different organs.
Once the Five Elements Qi injured their internal organs, they would recuperate for a year and a half at best. At worst, they would suffer internal injuries and have no hope of breaking through.
All of them were geniuses of the same realm back then, but after reaching the Grandmaster Realm, their cultivation speed still decreased greatly.
After all, the human body was made of flesh, and the body had a limit.
Unless he swallowed some spiritual herbs or pills to protect his internal organs, he could greatly increase his Visceral Tempering progress.
The middle-grade Five Elements Pill happened to have this effect.
“Yes.” Han Zhao nodded and walked out of the Furious Flood Dragon Hall.
Si Zhu jogged after him.
“Goodbye, Young Sect Master!” The gang members behind him shouted in unison.
If Han Zhao could really become the next leader, it would be much better than Shangguan Yunfei becoming the leader.
However, many people were worried. Even if he was the new disciple of the Sect Master, could he really successfully ascend to the position?
The position of Sect Master had always been passed down in the Shangguan family. It was very difficult for others to have a chance to get involved.
Although Shangguan Yunfei didn’t have any children on the surface, who knew if he had an illegitimate child?
Unless Han Zhao could obtain the old Sect Master’s favor, it would not be so easy for him to rise to the top.
Han Zhao did not know these people’s worries. After he returned to his room, he closed the door tightly.
He took out the Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon fragment from the
Sumeru Pouch.
As the Yin energy needed to simulate it was still lacking, he wanted to discuss with the divine weapon fragment and pay the regular Yin energy in advance. After he promised to let the divine weapon fragment drink the blood of a martial artist next time, the divine weapon fragment agreed.
“It’s really an easy divine weapon to deal with.” Han Zhao put the divine weapon fragment back into the Sumeru Pouch and couldn’t help but smile.
After absorbing the Yin energy, he began to prepare for the simulation. Soon, he had accumulated enough.
“System.”
[Collected 100 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]
[Each synthesis will consume 100 Notification Fragments and 600 taels of gold…]
[Current Balance: 1,800 taels of gold]
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[23 years old. You intimidated Xue Han, He Xuan, and Gao Baijie. The factions behind the three of them did not dare to act rashly.]
[A month later, the Sun Chasing Bow divine weapon appeared. The Martial Saint behind the four factions attacked. In the end, they were all injured and the divine weapon shattered.]
[Xue Han, He Xuan, and Gao Baijie were searching for the Sun Chasing Bow fragment with the demons of the Nine Nether Mansion.]
[You secretly took action and snatched two of the fragments. You also threatened the Sun Chasing Bow divine weapon to provide you with Yin energy regularly. Otherwise, you would destroy it.]
[The divine weapon was sentient and agreed to your conditions.]
[24 years old. You found the third fragment of the Sun Chasing Bow and requested the divine weapon to provide you with more Yin energy. The divine weapon spirit agreed again.]
[Therefore, you fused the three fragments into one and gathered the Sun Chasing Bow.]
[After the Sun Chasing Bow gathered again, although its power was greatly reduced, it still had the remaining power of a high-grade pseudo-divine weapon. It went back on its word and took the initiative to attack you.]
[You used all your methods and paid the price of being severely injured before breaking the Sun Chasing Bow into pieces again.]
[While you were recuperating, the demons of the Nine Nether Mansion came looking for you.]
[Although you used all your remaining strength to kill it, you also paid the price of your life.]
“Looks like I underestimated the divine weapon too much.”
Looking at the information displayed in the simulation, Han Zhao’s expression darkened.
How was this a divine weapon? It was clearly a cunning old fox.
According to Ji Baiwei, the power that an ownerless divine weapon could unleash was less than a third of the power of a divine weapon controlled by a Weapon Master.
After the divine weapon shattered, even if all the fragments were gathered and reassembled, its power would only be about a quarter of its original.
In other words, the power of the reorganized Sun Chasing Bow divine weapon was less than one-twelfth of the complete divine weapon controlled by the Weapon Master.
Even so, it could still severely injure him.
It was too ridiculous!
“Perhaps the Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon fragment also has this thought. However, it’s only a low-grade pseudo-divine weapon and doesn’t have enough spirituality,” Han Zhao pondered and said.
The Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon’s cowardice made him subconsciously think that the divine weapon was nothing much.
Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the complexity of the problem.
This was a lesson that had to be learned.
[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]
[1: Obtain Trait (Selectable)]
[2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]
[Current Balance: 1,200 taels of gold]
“The Trait is here?”
Looking at the last option of the simulation, Han Zhao became energetic.
“I’m not greedy. Just give me a golden one.”
“Red at least?” Han Zhao said angrily when he saw the system’s stingy attitude.
“Can you not waste my Yin energy?!
Han Zhao cursed.
“Just tell me how to obtain a higher-level Trait!” [If you don’t charge gold now, you’ll regret it later.]
[Only spending money is the way to go.]
“Alright, alright!” Han Zhao had a look of disdain. Was there a need to remind him? Sometimes, he dreamed of getting money and Yin energy at night.
“One.”
[Received Trait: Three Wonders Origin Returning]
[Three Wonders Origin Returning]: Red Trait. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth derive the power of the Three Wonders, wind, ice, and lightning. The Three Wonders Origin Returning can balance and transform the power of wind, ice, and lightning. It can also decompose them into the power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. (It can be upgraded to a Golden Trait through cultivation. The upper limit is a Platinum Trait.)
“The upper limit is Platinum Trait!”
Han Zhao looked at the Trait effect and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“System, you’re really a f*cking genius! You can get whatever you want!”
The simulation showed that he had extracted the Lightning Flood Dragon blood in Shangguan Lie’s body to refine the Dragon Blood Pill. After consuming it, his strength increased greatly, but his body could not withstand more Lightning Flood Dragon power.
With the [Three Wonders Origin Returning], he could transform the lightning attribute power in the Lightning Flood Dragon’s body into the power of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and ice.
This way, not only could he greatly increase the speed of Visceral Tempering, but he could also obtain the power of wind and ice.
Other than the Divine Firmament Seal, the Mystic Ice Claw could also unleash its strongest power.
Moreover, if his Wind Riding Leg Technique could fuse with wind attribute power, he would probably have to change its name to Wind God Leg!
[After the paid simulation, the quality and effect of the Trait extracted will depend on your luck.]
“That’s true. It’s all up to me!” Han Zhao was in a good mood.
“Nine Nether Mansion, just you wait!”
