Chapter 49: As Much as Possible

Su Yan, dressed back in her usual green dress, wandered around the Yu Clan.

One circle after another circle, she kept walking.

An hour later…

The old woman named Feng Lanyun couldn’t help asking, “Miss, what’s up with your interest in the Yu Clan? If you really want to find out about something, shouldn’t you go inside and take a look?”

“You don’t understand.” Su Yan said calmly.

Feng Lanyun said, “Your uncle already started the battle with the Yu Clan, he even ordered the surrounding clans in our business to avoid purchasing anything from the Yu Clan.”

After hesitating, she said softly, “You ask your uncle to do all that?”

She thought that Su Yan must have hated Yu Yuan for that time at the Hall of Treasures.

“Do you think I’m that kind of a person?” Su Yan shook her head. “My uncle must have been dissatisfied with the Yu Clan because of other matters. However, it’s obvious that the Yu Clan won’t have many calm days left.”

“Not only chaos, but I also have a feeling that the Yu Clan will be disbanded soon.” Feng Lanyun sneered. “That’s what they get for not serving us well. Their herbs are worthless now!”

“I also want to know what the Yu Clan will do next.” Su Yan said.

“What else can they do except for begging your uncle to reverse his orders?” Feng Lanyun laughed. “A few days at most, Yu Can will be going to our place begging for mercy.”

“You really think so?” Su Yan looked at the Yu Clan’s walls. She was still thinking about what happened last night, “Or do they have another way to get out of this.”

“Just sit back and watch, seven days at most!”

…

The news of the Su Clan’s oppression of the Yu Clan spread through the city in a matter of days.

Those from the Yuan Clan and Zhao Clan were all shocked upon hearing the news.

Yu Can tried to stop the panic from spreading, but that proved to be impossible.

Everyone from the Yu Clan, from retainers to elders, was restless.

The Su Clan was against them!

Where else could they sell the herbs?

Without their only source of income, how else could the clan survive?

These cultivators in the clan all need spirit stones to purchase the various materials they needed to advance realms.

“What should we do?”

“Leader, a new batch of herbs will be ready to harvest soon. If there is still no one to purchase then, the spiritual energy in those would soon be gone.”

“Should we negotiate with Su Yin?”

“By staying in the city for additional days, Su Yin is waiting for you to bow down.”

“Leader, please consider the desperate situation right now!”

Many members of the Yu Clan, especially the elders, were scared to lose what they have.

They all hoped that Yu Can could agree to whatever terms that Su Yin wanted them to agree with.

At least that will be able to save the clan for a moment.

…

Yu Clan’s old house.

“Huff!”

Yu Yuan released a long breath. He felt that his power was surging like the Yangtze River.

He stood up slowly, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Finally, the twelfth stage of the Meridian Establishment Realm!”

With the medicinal effect of the extension pill, he was able to break through the last one of his meridians in a matter of days.

Contained Spirit Realm was just an inch away.

Once he enters the Contained Spirit Realm, his strength will significantly increase, and he had already thought of a better method for him to cultivate to advance faster.

But for now, the “Nine Bright Heavenly Cycles” was enough.

That was because, in the Meridian Establishment Realm, there were a lot of restrictions.

Without the full support from all twelve of his meridians working together cohesively, it would be impossible to fully manipulate the energy around him.

In this first realm, the focus was to develop one’s physical abilities.

He had planned his future out as much as possible.

“Let me go try something different.”

He took out the white paper fan, and, for a second, he felt again that the four words were about to such his souls in.

The sadness returned.

To avoid having this sadness spread out of control again last time, Yu Yuan had been living in the Yu Clan’s old house.

Without that weird amplifying device, the sadness from the fan was not that terrifying anymore.

But consequently, his Soul of Heaven wasn’t able to get as much done as compared to that of the first night.

However, since it did seem to help with his Soul of Heaven still, he was willing to continue.

Any item that could assist with purifying one’s soul was considered rare.

“Master Yu…”

When he was about to soak into the sadness from the fan, Ning Yue suddenly shouted.

Yu Yuan was forced to stop. “Mr. Ning, weren’t you supposed to return to the clan for a few days?”

“That’s right.” Ning Ji nodded and said, “But they are in great trouble.”

“What’s the trouble?”

“Let me explain.”

Ning Ji carefully explained everything that had happened in detail.

“Ah, that’s no big deal.” Yu Yuan smiled and said, “I had expected that to happen. Even without them taking initiative, I was about to ask my grandpa to stop selling our herbs for such a cheap price!”

Ning Ji didn’t know much about the Yu Clan’s business, so he didn’t have much opinion on that.

“Please bring my aunt here to take me around our clan’s fields. I want to see what kind of herbs we have that are about to be ready.”

“Sounds good.”

…

Soon, three more days passed.

That day, Zhao Dongsheng met with his father, displaying a few yellow round pills on the table, and said, “This is the Condensed Spiritual Pill, level seven pill of the Common Class, very well designed for cultivators in the Contained Spirit Realm.”

“I don’t need you to teach me a lesson on pills.” Zhao Zhenghao waved his hand and said, “Just tell me how effective it is compared to those we have right now.”

“These pills are of the top quality, much more concentrated than the normal pills.” Zhao Dongsheng replied.

“Are these from the Yu Clan?” Zhao Xi asked curiously.

“Yes, Yu Li came by herself to give these to me.” Zhao Dongsheng nodded. “She offered to sell use for fifty spirit stones each.”

“Fifty?” Zhao Xi said, “If I remember correctly, the market price for these is at least eighty spirit stones each!”

“That’s exactly right!” Zhao Dongsheng grinned, and said, “Moreover, those pills from the Su Clan are probably not even as good as these.”

“Then what are we waiting for?” Zhao Xi rushed to ask. “No matter if we need it or not. If we simply flip these on the market, we will get a decent profit regardless!”

“There is only one problem.” Zhao Dongsheng frowned and said to his father, “We might provoke the Su Clan by doing this.”

“What cares.” Zhao Zhenghao took a deep breath and said, “Now that my daughter successfully swallowed the dragon spirit, we might be able to find more powerful allies!”

“With their help, Yinlong Lake is nothing to be feared, not to mention a Su Clan!”

Zhao Zhenghao seemed confident in his words.

“That’s a deal then!”

…

Also the same day.

Five Condensed Spiritual Pills were presented to Yuan Lianyao by a member of the Yuan Clan. He said the same thing as Zhao Dongsheng.

The price was also the same for the Yuan Clan: fifty apiece.

Yuan Lianyao studied every one of the pills carefully, holding them close to her eyes.

Then she said, “Tell Yu Li, we will buy as much of these as they can offer!”
