Chapter 28

【PS: Happy holidays everyone! Please follow!】

"Stop the long-armed stone ape, or I'll kill your aunt." Su Tianhong grabbed Zhao Wan'er by the neck and shouted.

"Xiao Yu, don't worry about me, kill them, kill them." Although Zhao Wan'er was restrained, there was no trace of fear in her eyes; instead, she said.

"Shut up, you stinking woman." Hearing this, Su Tianhong became extremely angry and slapped Zhao Wan'er's face hard. A bright red palm print immediately appeared on her pale face.

"Damn, Su Tianhong, you're dead? Seeing Zhao Wan'er being hit, Huang Yu was completely enraged. Although he was not the real Huang Yu, ever since he came to the Huang family, Zhao Wan'er had been very good to him, like a mother. Now, seeing her beaten so badly, how could he not be angry? His eyes widened, and his hands clenched tightly, with veins bulging like winding vines, and his fingernails digging into his flesh, showing just how furious he was.

"Hmph, Huang Yu, make the long-armed stone ape retreat, or I'll kill your aunt." Seeing Huang Yu's fierce expression, Su Tianhong did not dare to go too far. If he overstepped, it might force Huang Yu to act rashly, which would be bad. So, Su Tianhong knew his limits and did not want to push too hard for the sake of his own life.

"Are you crazy, Su Tianhong? Release my aunt immediately, and I'll spare your life." Huang Yu, seeing Su Tianhong calm down, spoke in a cold tone.

"Make the long-armed stone ape stop first." Su Tianhong was worried that the long-armed stone ape might attack him. The long-armed stone ape was a third-grade mystic beast with terrifying strength, and he was only at the peak of the innate realm, not even reaching the yuan dan realm, so he could not possibly resist the long-armed stone ape.

Huang Yu was also anxious. If the time dragged on, the effect of the long-armed stone ape would disappear, and he would not be able to completely destroy the Su family. The most critical person was Su Tianhong. This old man was too cunning, and if he did not die, the Huang family would never be at peace.

"Alright." Huang Yu waved his hand and gave the long-armed stone ape the order to retreat. At the same time, he contacted the system spirit Lulu to see if she had any way to save people.

"Master, what's the matter? You haven't even given me pretty clothes or delicious food yet." Lulu, woken up by Huang Yu, was somewhat dissatisfied, only thinking about her pretty clothes, and muttered.

"Lulu, is there any way to save people?" At this critical moment, Huang Yu did not waste time and asked directly.

"Yes, there's a potion called 'Mihun Dao' (Soul Confusion Potion)."

"Mihun Dao? What is it?" Huang Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Mihun Dao is a sedative. This sedative is colorless and odorless and can incapacitate warriors below the yuan dan realm." Lulu explained.

"Then what are we waiting for? Lulu, give me the Mihun Dao." Huang Yu was delighted and said impatiently.

"No, Master. To obtain Mihun Dao, you need to pay a price. Lulu can't do it for free." Lulu shook her head.

"Lulu, what price do I need to pay? Just say it. This is an emergency, don't be so hesitant. Once my aunt is saved, whatever you want, I'll have someone buy it for you, okay?" Huang Yu urged anxiously.

"Because the all-in-one cultivation system has not yet activated the exchange function. If you want to exchange items, you need to activate the exchange function first." Lulu explained.

"How can I activate the exchange function?"

"You can use life energy or spirit stones." Lulu said.

"How much life energy?" Huang Yu asked.

"Five hundred thousand points of life energy."

"Five hundred thousand points?" Huang Yu's eyes widened. Five hundred thousand points of life energy was not a small amount. If he had five hundred thousand points of life energy, he could easily advance several realms and reach the yuan shen realm.

"Yes, if you want to forcibly activate the exchange function using life energy, you need five hundred thousand points of life energy." Lulu nodded.

"Then how about spirit stones? How many?" He still had some spirit stones. Heiyanzi had left him thirty medium-grade spirit stones, which was a huge fortune.

"One thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"What?" Huang Yu was shocked. Although he was prepared, he was still taken aback. One thousand low-grade spirit stones was a significant amount. One low-grade spirit stone was worth at least two million gold, so one thousand low-grade spirit stones equaled ten billion gold, a huge sum, equivalent to ten medium-grade spirit stones. He had thirty medium-grade spirit stones, but using ten of them at once would be painful, "Lulu, are you sure?"

"No mistake, one thousand low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to ten medium-grade spirit stones." Lulu said.

"Lulu, are you doing this on purpose?" Huang Yu asked.

"Hmph, Master is so bad. Lulu is not that kind of person. If you keep saying that, I won't talk to you anymore." Lulu pouted, dissatisfied.

"Sorry, Lulu, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Huang Yu was startled when he saw Lulu was angry. If Lulu ignored him, it would be a huge loss. A mere one thousand low-grade spirit stones was nothing compared to the value Lulu brought.

"Alright, since it's your first mistake, Lulu will forgive you." Lulu said.

"Lulu, can you give me a discount?" The cost of ten medium-grade spirit stones was too high. If it could be reduced, it would be better. After all, spirit stones were not easy to obtain and were rare.

"No, if Master wasn't in a hurry and didn't need to forcibly activate it, it wouldn't require so much." Lulu explained, "But since Master is forcibly activating it, it's different. Although Lulu wants to help, the system rules prevent it."

Huang Yu sighed, "Alright, ten medium-grade spirit stones, then ten medium-grade spirit stones. Activate the system exchange function."

Although it was painful, he had no choice. Otherwise, he would have to let Su Tianhong go. Although Su Tianhong was not worth ten medium-grade spirit stones, even one would be a huge loss. But to save Zhao Wan'er, Huang Yu gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Alright, Master, I'll activate the exchange function." Lulu said.

"Beep, does the player want to consume ten medium-grade spirit stones to forcibly activate the system exchange function?" As Lulu spoke, Huang Yu heard the system's prompt.

"Activate."

"Beep, congratulations on activating the system exchange function, consuming ten medium-grade spirit stones."

Hearing the system's prompt, Huang Yu was in pain. Ten medium-grade spirit stones were gone just like that.

After activating the exchange function, Huang Yu opened the exchange interface. There were many items available for exchange, including various potions, pills, herbs, minerals, weapons, and cultivation techniques, among others. The items were quite comprehensive, but most of them were gray, meaning they could not be exchanged.

After a quick look, he saw that to exchange these items, one needed to use life energy or spirit stones, and life energy and spirit stones could also be exchanged for each other.

One low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for five hundred life energy points, meaning one low-grade spirit stone could raise his cultivation from the fourth layer of the innate realm to the fifth layer. This ratio made Huang Yu somewhat depressed, as the exchange rate was too low. However, he then thought that life energy could also be exchanged for spirit stones, with five hundred life energy points for one spirit stone, which was a good deal.

After checking many items, none of them were what Huang Yu wanted. He had paid such a high price to activate the exchange function, and he needed the Mihun Dao. Without it, it would be meaningless. Time was short, and Huang Yu searched and found it should be in the drug category.

Mihun Dao, Mihun Dao.

Sure enough, Huang Yu quickly found the Mihun Dao.

To exchange for Mihun Dao, he needed fifty points of life energy.

This was not too much, just fifty points. He had already spent ten medium-grade spirit stones, so fifty points of life energy was nothing.

"Beep, does the player want to exchange for Mihun Dao?"

"Exchange."

"Beep, exchange successful. Congratulations on obtaining Mihun Dao, consuming fifty points of life energy."

After the successful exchange, Huang Yu took out the Mihun Dao, looked at Su Tianhong, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He thought to himself, old man, your time is up.

"Su Tianhong, release my aunt, or you will only have one way out, and that is death. I'll give you one more chance." Huang Yu shouted.

Hearing Huang Yu's words, Su Tianhong's heart tightened. This kid cared so much about his aunt Zhao Wan'er and was now becoming strong again. Was he not concerned about Zhao Wan'er's life? No, that's not right. He was trying to trick him. If he let his guard down, the long-armed stone ape would take advantage and save Zhao Wan'er. Then the Su family and his own life would be over.

Therefore, Su Tianhong did not relax. Instead, he tightened his grip on Zhao Wan'er's hand and focused his mind, "Huang Yu, step back and behave yourself, or I'll kill your aunt. Also, we can coexist peacefully, can't we? You have good relations with the Jade Alliance, and my son, Su Guang, is now an inner disciple of the Central Yuan Sword Sect. If our two families cooperate, the Chen family of Willow Forest Town will be nothing. Not just Willow Forest Town, but the entire Seven Waters County will be ours. Our two families working together is a perfect match, don't you think?"

"Su Tianhong, do you think I'm a fool?" Huang Yu laughed coldly. At this moment, Su Tianhong was still talking nonsense. Why didn't he say this before? He only said it now because his life was threatened, just to save himself. Besides, Seven Waters County was not that simple. Although it was the poorest county in Central Yuan, its martial power was not weak, and even compared to other counties, it was not inferior.
