7 Chapter 7: The Turtle's Son and the Turtle's Grandson

After leaving Danfang, Long Yan took Zhang Yibai directly to the Wanbao Trading Company.

"A fixed price, five hundred spirit stones, do you want it or not?"

Long Yan directly found Deacon Yang and took out a Crimson Blood Elixir.

"Master Yan, five hundred spirit stones can buy a high-quality first-grade elixir, but this Crimson Blood Elixir..."

Deacon Yang smiled slightly. Long Yan had previously stolen Crimson Blood Elixirs and brought them here to sell, all at the price of one hundred spirit stones. This time, he had raised the price by five times. Wasn't this a joke?

However, when he saw the Crimson Blood Elixir, his expression changed instantly.

"This is... a supreme elixir, it's actually a supreme elixir."

In the cultivation of martial arts, elixirs are indispensable resources.

However, even the best elixirs are more or less contaminated with some impurities, called pill toxicity. If martial artists take elixirs for a long time, pill toxicity will accumulate in their bodies.

Pill toxicity is extremely damaging to the foundation of martial arts, like a bone maggot.

However, supreme elixirs are pure and do not contain any impurities, so they do not affect the martial arts foundation after being ingested by martial artists.

"Master Yan, where did you get this elixir?"

Deacon Yang asked.

Even a third-grade pill refiner might not be able to refine a supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill.

"Of course, my young master made it by himself."

Zhang Yibai proudly replied, feeling very proud that the young master could refine pills, and that his first attempt was a supreme elixir.

"Really?"

Deacon Yang looked at Long Yan, hardly daring to believe it.

"Is there anyone else in Ling Wu City who can refine a supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill?"

Long Yan directly admitted.

"You wait a moment, I will go and ask the Master."

Deacon Yang took the Crimson Blood Elixir and quickly entered the inner hall. About half a quarter of an hour later, Deacon Yang came out and said with a smile, "Master Yan, we will take this Crimson Blood Elixir. Five hundred spirit stones per pill, we will take as many as you have."

"You guys are not fools. Deal."

Long Yan smiled faintly. The supreme-grade Crimson Blood Elixir was worth at most four hundred spirit stones, but the Wanbao Trading Company was willing to offer five hundred spirit stones, clearly with other intentions in mind.

However, he would not refuse to take advantage of such a bargain. As long as he dared to admit it, he was not afraid of others coveting his secret.

...........

In the Long Family Assembly Hall, Long Cangqiong, the head of the Long Family, sat in the first place, followed by the five elders of the Long Family and a middle-aged man in a blue robe.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe was named Long Xinghe and he was Long Yan's uncle.

"Xinghe, what's the matter?"

Long Cangqiong looked at Long Xinghe, with a faint bad feeling in his heart.

Long Xinghe stood up with a serious expression and said, "Father, the elders, our Long Family's business has been shrinking greatly, and many of our sales channels have been cut off. I just got the news that this is all the Bai Family's doing. Bai Tianjun has taken a fancy to Lin Yuyan. In three months, the Lin Family and Bai Family will officially be married."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Long Cangqiong and the five elders' faces changed greatly. The Lin Family and Long Family were like fire and water. The Bai Family was one of the three major families of the Tianwu Dynasty. Once the Lin Family climbed up the Bai Family, the situation of the Long Family would be dangerous.

"Dammit."

Long Cangqiong's expression became extremely solemn, and he crushed the armrest of his chair with his five fingers.

"It is said that Bai Tianjun is a once-in-a-century pill refining genius of the Bai Family, who has already cultivated the pill fire and is now a second-grade pill refiner, striving for a third-grade pill refiner. He has an immeasurable future. How could he get involved with Lin Yuyan?"

Bai Tianjun was known as the number one pill refining genius in the Tianwu Dynasty, with a very famous reputation.

The three major families all lived in the Imperial City of Tianwu, and Ling Wu City was just a small city within the territory of the Tianwu Dynasty. There were hundreds or even thousands of such cities in the Tianwu Dynasty.

"I... I don't know."

Long Xinghe shook his head slightly, as he didn't know the specifics either.

"Father, we must think of a solution quickly. Once the Lin Family and Bai Family are married, I'm afraid the first thing they will do is take action against our Long family."

Everyone fell silent, as this was a matter concerning the life and death of the Long Family.

"Family Head, I have important news to report."

Just then, Zhao Baichuan rushed into the main hall.

"Zhao Baichuan, why did you leave the Pill Square and come here? Is this a place you can just barge into?"

The Great Elder immediately scolded.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Long Cangqiong also seemed annoyed.

"Family Head, just now, the Sixth Elder refined a Yuan Ling Dan."

Zhao Baichuan said.

"Hmm, I see. You may leave now."

Long Cangqiong nodded slightly and waved his hand to dismiss Zhao Baichuan.

Long Kun refining the Yuan Ling Dan was a joyous matter, but due to the current situation, no one could be happy about it.

"Huh?"

Zhao Baichuan was stunned, not expecting such a reaction from everyone. He then spoke again: "Family Head, there is another matter. The Third Young Master went to the Pill Square..."

"What?"

Before Zhao Baichuan could finish, Long Cangqiong suddenly stood up, his eyes flaring with anger. "That little beast! He never learns, daring to sneak into the Pill Square to steal elixirs? I'll break his dog legs!"

Long Yan going to the Pill Square must be to steal elixirs—that was Long Cangqiong's first thought.

"Family Head, the Third Young Master did not steal any elixirs,"

Zhao Baichuan hurriedly said.

"He didn't steal elixirs?"

Long Cangqiong's gaze darkened, and he suddenly thought of something. He quickly asked, "Tell me, did that little beast set fire to the Pill Square?"

"The Third Young Master did not set fire. He went to refine pills."

Zhao Baichuan could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead; Long Yan's character was simply beyond compare.

"What, refining pills?"

Long Cangqiong snorted coldly: "If he can refine pills, I'll be a turtle's son."

"Well... it seems you're going to be a turtle's son, sir."

Zhao Baichuan thought to himself and then carefully took out a jade vial from his bosom, saying: "Family Head, this jade bottle contains the elixir refined by the Third Young Master. It was the Sixth Elder who asked me to bring it."

"Could it be that the little beast really refined an elixir?"

Long Cangqiong was skeptical as he took the jade vial and poured out a pill. His expression changed in an instant: "Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill!"

"It really is a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill. There is no such thing as a Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill in Ling Wu City."

Long Xinghe and the five elders were also shocked.

"Are you sure this wasn't refined by the Sixth Elder?"

Long Cangqiong asked.

"It was refined by the Third Young Master. I can guarantee it with my head."

Zhao Baichuan said with certainty.

"Is it really refined by that little beast?"

Long Cangqiong's face changed; a supreme-grade elixir was not to be underestimated. If it was indeed refined by Long Yan, he could hardly imagine it.

"Let's go to the Pill Square."

At this point, not only was Long Cangqiong restless, but Long Xinghe and the five elders could not sit still either.

Subsequently, the group marched toward the Pill Square in a grand manner. Along the way, Zhao Baichuan recounted Long Yan's pill refining process in detail, of course, not without some embellishment.

"Dad, what you said just now... "

Long Xinghe looked at Long Cangqiong with ill intent.

"Hmph, what are you laughing at? If I become a turtle's son, then you're grandson of a turtle!"

Long Cangqiong snorted coldly and scolded Long Xinghe.

"I didn't say anything just now, nothing at all!"

However, his evasive eyes betrayed the embarrassment in his heart.
