Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Is this a Top-Grade Qi Blood Pill? (Please Subscribe)
"Top-grade Qi Blood Pill?"
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Hui blurted out from across.
"Top-grade Qi Blood Pill?"
Chen Fan widened his eyes. Was his guess correct? Is there really such a thing as a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill?
"Sorry, Brother Chen, let me take a look first," Lin Hui said apologetically.
"It’s okay, it’s okay," Chen Fan handed over two bottles of elixir.
The latter carefully received the bottles, poured out one pill, placed it in his palm, and his eyes immediately widened, his breathing grew a bit rapid.
He then poured out the remaining pills from the bottle, totaling six.
Lin Hui took a deep breath and put the six pills back into the bottle.
He then opened the second bottle, repeating the same process.
A moment later, he nodded, his voice trembling with excitement, "That’s right, Brother Chen, the pills in these two bottles are all Top-grade Qi Blood Pills."
"There really are Top-grade Qi Blood Pills?"
Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise.
If it’s true, then why hadn’t this item appeared in the association’s resource list before?
"Yes." Lin Hui sighed as he saw through Chen Fan’s thoughts, "Brother Chen, you might not be aware, but both the Martial Arts Association and the Awakeners Association fight for humanity, yet it is undeniable that we are two distinct powers, and the relationships within are inevitably varied."
"Varied relationships?"
"Exactly." Lin Hui paused for a while, "For instance, within the Martial Arts Association, some remain closely aligned with the Awakeners Association, while others keep a certain distance."
Our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association collaborates with the Awakeners Association quite a bit, yet there is also competition; doing so might cost us some support but allows us to remain independent.
However, the Jiangbei District Martial Arts Association is closely allied with the Awakeners Association. In fact, you could consider it a subordinate department of the Awakeners Association, hence their support far exceeds ours."
"So, that’s how it is?"
Chen Fan pondered.
Indeed, where there are people, there are factions. Even within the Martial Arts Association, it wasn’t as harmonious as imagined.
"Yes, take this Top-grade Qi Blood Pill. Our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association spent years researching, finally mastering the proportion, timing, and use of machinery to mass-produce Top-grade Qi Blood Pills. Yet, the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill has always eluded us."
But the Jiangbei District Martial Arts Association managed to refine the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill a year or two ago."
"Is it provided by the Awakeners Association?"
"Yes." Lin Hui nodded helplessly.
This technology isn’t a secret within the Awakeners Association. So buying a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill isn’t difficult. Many Entry Force Martial Artists in Anshan City choose to affiliate with businesses, partly due to the allure of the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill."
Chen Fan understood.
Indeed, those Entry Force Martial Artists who joined the businesses weren’t fools. Why would they refuse the great conditions of the Martial Arts Association and instead embrace the businesses?
However, having decided to join the branch, he wouldn’t regret it.
Moreover, he was beginning to form a thought.
Perhaps he could master the refining technique of the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill?
At that time, whether he himself refined the Top-grade pills for use or sold this technology back to the central association, he could certainly make a fortune. Even adopting a share system—so long as someone buys the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill within the association, he could receive a part.
"Brother Chen, here you go,"
Lin Hui handed back the two bottles of Qi Blood Pills to Chen Fan.
The association had obtained finished products before, analyzed the proportions, but couldn’t master the timing.
Chen Fan accepted them, asking, "Brother Lin, how much would it cost to buy a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill in the market?"
"A Top-grade Qi Blood Pill? Quite expensive, at least a hundred thousand per pill, similar to the price of an ordinary True Qi Pill," Lin Hui replied without hesitation.
"A hundred thousand? Similar to the price of a True Qi Pill?"
Chen Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
So, a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill provides an amount of Potential Points similar to an ordinary True Qi Pill?
That’s excellent.
He had two bottles of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, totaling 14 pills, which calculated to 1.4 million.
Not to mention the ten bottles of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills in the space items?
"Brother Lin, I’ll trouble you with the Contribution Points matter, I’ll head to the wilderness again."
"You’re going again?"
Lin Hui was caught off guard, staring at Chen Fan dumbfoundedly.
"Yes?"
Chen Fan was instead puzzled, looking back at him.
It was still morning; after lunch, he planned to continue hunting.
With a High-level Fierce Beast worth millions, he was tempted just thinking about it.
"Cough cough," Lin Hui coughed, "Brother Chen, you just finished hunting, must be exhausted, why not rest first?"
"No need, don’t worry, Brother Lin, I know my limits."
Finishing, he opened the door and walked out.
"..."
Lin Hui wanted to say more, but Chen Fan was already gone.
"Brother Chen, really, such energy."
He didn’t know what to say.
"I need to inform the president quickly."
He hurriedly took out his phone.
The call was answered within seconds.
"Old Lin, what’s the matter?"
In the office, Sun Wei asked absently while looking at documents, using his shoulder to hold the phone.
"President, it’s serious,"
Lin Hui lowered his voice, "Brother Chen just visited."
"Oh?"
Sun Wei paused, intrigued, "Did he slew dozens of Mid-level Fierce Beasts like last time?"
"No!"
Lin Hui responded quickly, "That was his first visit this morning, just now was the second; this time, he only brought one Fierce Beast."
"Only one Fierce Beast?"
Sun Wei was taken aback.
"Yes, a High-level Fierce Beast, Violent Bear!"
Lin Hui’s words stunned Sun Wei.
"O-Old Lin, you’re joking, right?"
Sun Wei quickly picked up the phone, his voice trembling.
This young man was hunting Mid-level Fierce Beasts, so why did he bring back a High-level Fierce Beast?
Could he have encountered a High-level Fierce Beast while hunting by chance?
Even if that was the case, it is too surprising! He recalled reports stating Chen Fan left alone, indicating he might have done this solo?
A High-level Fierce Beast, a Violent Bear no less; even Sun Wei himself struggled to take one down.
Yet Chen Fan did it?
"President, do I seem like someone who would joke with you?"
Lin Hui retorted.
"The Violent Bear Brother Chen hunted is right here in the yard. If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself."
"Alright, I’ll come over right away!"
Sun Wei stood from his chair eagerly, his expression both expectant and apprehensive.
Lin Hui sounded positive, and he wasn’t known for being unreliable—it was likely true.
Plus, Chen Fan was strong. He wielded a bow with one thousand pounds of draw weight that even Sun Wei couldn’t manage.
Solo hunting a High-level Fierce Beast? He might indeed have that capability.
But still, it was shocking!
Just joined the association, and on the second day, hunted a High-level Fierce Beast solo?
Wait!
Sun Wei remembered something, asking while walking, "Where is Chen Fan? Is he with you?"
Lin Hui answered helplessly, "President, I meant to tell you that Chen Fan left the Violent Bear and departed."
"Left? Where did he go? Could it be?"
"You guessed it right." Lin Hui sighed, "He plans to continue hunting High-level Fierce Beasts; I tried persuading him to rest first, but he wouldn’t listen."
"That guy, he’s too impulsive."
Sun Wei didn’t know what to say.
"There’s more, but I’ll explain once you arrive."
"Alright, I’ll be there soon."
Sun Wei hung up, took the elevator down, and ran outside.
A few moments before, in the merchant guild.
Lu Yang and his group stared in shock at the informant.
"You said," Lu Yang stammered, "he just returned, bringing a High-level Fierce Beast?"
"Correct,"
The martial artist stuttered, "We saw him dragging a Violent Bear into the Martial Arts Association’s yard."
"Alone?"
"Alone."
The hall went silent.
A Violent Bear!
That creature’s tough hide can withstand machine gun fire, smashing people into pulp, even destroying armored vehicles with a swipe!
Even when hunting High-level Fierce Beasts, they avoid targeting it if possible.
But the masked guy soloed a Violent Bear?
Impossible.
"I think there must be some hidden truth," someone spoke up.
"Indeed, probably sheer luck caught a dead bear," another agreed.
"Wait, hasn’t Jiang Xiong been watching this guy from outside the city? Why isn’t he reporting now?"
"Maybe lost track?" someone laughed.
People wanted to laugh but, seeing Lu Yang’s dark face, held back.
The guy appeared repeatedly, causing significant commotion each time, essentially slapping Lu Yang’s face.
"Brother Lu, seems Jiang Xiong and Huang Hanquan’s group are inept," an elder with a beard remarked.
"Given their failures, should we handle it ourselves?"
"Indeed, young people are unreliable," agreed a stern elder. The comment angered many martial artists but they dared not speak.
Those two elders entered the Transformation Realm years ago and were close to reaching the Meridian Refining Realm.
Moreover, they were unique within the guild, using cold weapons instead of firearms.
Elder Feng wielded a knife, Elder Guo used a sword; together, their strength was formidable.
Lu Yang’s expression eased, "Handling this small matter ourselves is unnecessary. Let’s wait; maybe Jiang Xiong will return soon."
The elders exchanged glances, shaking their heads.
Dealing with a Martial Arts Association member shouldn’t be so complicated, even if they were a powerful Martial Artist.
What were Jiang Xiong and his men doing, unable to handle such a minor task?
"Thump, thump, thump."
Hurried footsteps approached.
Another martial artist arrived, "Brother Lu, that guy left again, alone."
Everyone turned to Lu Yang.
"Brother Lu," the elder insisted, "timing is key."
Lu Yang hesitated but nodded, "Alright, Elder Feng, please handle it, capture or kill, and find those teams; I want explanations."
"Understood,"
Elder Feng smiled, "Leave it to us."
