Chapter 30

Since that day, Su Han has been living in the Su family.

Regarding the matter of the twenty meridians, Su Han had informed the old man and others not to spread the news.

The latter all understood the gravity of the situation; if anything went wrong, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

...

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During this month, Su Han had stayed in his room, cultivating using those pills.

If it were any other Dragon Vein Realm practitioner, it would take several days to refine a single high-grade pill, and even with their Dragon Vein strength, they might not be able to refine a high-grade pill.

However, for Su Han, in just one month, he had devoured and refined hundreds of Ancient Spirit Pills.

Only the Blood Generation Pills were left by Su Han, waiting to be used when he broke through to the Dragon Blood Realm.

After opening thirty-two meridians, Su Han's strength had undergone a tremendous change after refining these hundreds of Ancient Spirit Pills.

However, the more pills one refines, the less effective they become.

By now, the efficacy of the Ancient Spirit Pills on Su Han was almost negligible.

"Perhaps the Blood Generation Pills can help me open more Dragon Veins, but if I refine them now, their efficacy will be greatly reduced. It would be best to use them when I break through to the Dragon Blood Realm."

Su Han walked out of the room, the warm sunlight falling on his body, and he couldn't help but stretch.

"Let me refine some other pills first. I wonder what materials the Xiao family has." Su Han muttered.

"Master Han, you have come out of seclusion?"

Hu Feng saw Su Han walk out of the room and hurriedly ran over.

Pang Qing and Zhang Hai had been staying in the place for guest experts, while he had been guarding Su Han.

"Yep."

Su Han nodded slightly.

"Master Han, over the past month, Lian Yuzhe has come looking for you no less than five times, each time in a furious state, but I managed to send him away." Hu Feng said.

"Who is Lian Yuzhe?" Su Han asked, puzzled.

"He is the son of Lian Chong, a guest expert of the Xiao family. Lian Chong holds a high position among the many guest experts of the Xiao family, with cultivation at the late Dragon Spirit Realm, second only to Xiao Hengshan." Hu Feng explained.

"Why is he looking for me?" Su Han frowned.

"It seems to be because of... the second miss of the Xiao family." Hu Feng said.

"Oh?"

Su Han looked enlightened and smiled, "Indeed, Xiao Yuran is very beautiful and has a lively and innocent personality, which makes her very likable."

"But that's no reason to come looking for you! If Lian Yuzhe has the ability, he should pursue the second miss himself. Why come to you?" Hu Feng said with disdain.

"Just trying to scare me, I guess."

Su Han shook his head slightly and instructed, "You should focus on your cultivation. I'm going to the Xiao family's warehouse to find some materials."

"Understood." Hu Feng replied.

"Stop right there!"

However, just as Su Han was about to head to the warehouse, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Su Han paused, turned his head, and saw several people walking over from a distance. The leader was a young man in a green robe, with a decent appearance, but his somewhat harsh face was now somewhat gloomy.

"Master Han, that's Lian Yuzhe." Hu Feng whispered.

Su Han nodded and ignored him, continuing to walk.

"I told you to stop!"

Seeing that Su Han dared to ignore him, Lian Yuzhe immediately blocked Su Han's path in anger.

"Are you deaf? I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" Lian Yuzhe sneered.

Su Han raised his eyes slightly, "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else? Trying to act all high and mighty, are you?" Lian Yuzhe's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"I haven't provoked you, have I?" Su Han frowned.

"You haven't provoked me, but you've provoked someone you shouldn't!"

"Oh? Who did I provoke? Tell me." Su Han showed a look of interest.

"Xiao Yuran!"

Lian Yuzhe said directly, "Su Han, I hope you know your place. You live in my Xiao family, eat from my Xiao family, and use my Xiao family's resources. Even your life was saved by my Xiao family. Have you ever thought about what qualifications you have for us to do all this? Xiao Yuran, though not as talented as the first miss, is not someone you can covet. Give up on that idea!"

"I remember your surname is Lian, right?" Su Han suddenly said.

Lian Yuzhe countered, "Yes, my surname is Lian. What of it?"

"Then why do you keep saying 'my Xiao family'? Don't you feel ashamed? It sounds like you're really part of the Xiao family." Su Han shrugged.

"Insolent!"

Lian Yuzhe sneered, "You dare to speak to me like this?"

"Lian Yuzhe, you dare to speak to my husband like this?"

At that moment, Xiao Yuran's lively voice rang out.

Lian Yuzhe's face changed slightly, and he threatened in a low voice, "Su Han, this is just a warning. If you continue to纠缠 Yuran, I will make sure you pay the price!"

"Get lost." Su Han said impatiently.

"You!"

Lian Yuzhe was extremely angry, but in front of Xiao Yuran, he didn't dare to be too reckless.

"Su Han, you really have it, you damn well wait for it!"

With that, Lian Yuzhe turned and led his people away.

"Little Su Han, are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" Xiao Yuran asked with concern as she walked to Su Han's side.

"Just them?" Su Han shook his head disdainfully.

"Hehe, I knew my husband is very strong!" Xiao Yuran shook her little head.

"Don't keep calling me 'husband.' I haven't agreed to marry you yet." Su Han was really at a loss.

Xiao Yuran tilted her head, "Whether you agree or not, you are my husband."

"Indeed, as domineering as your sister."

Su Han sighed and then said, "The four things I asked you to find, did you find them?"

"I only found the Spirit Flower, but not the other three. I asked everyone, and they haven't even heard of them. What are these things you asked me to find?"

"Did you find the Spirit Flower?" Su Han's eyes lit up.

He had only mentioned it to Xiao Yuran, not really expecting her to find them, as these four things were extremely precious and probably very rare in the Dragon Martial Continent.

"But the Spirit Flower isn't mine."

Xiao Yuran pouted, "My father learned from the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion that in three months, they will hold an auction, and the main item will be the Spirit Flower. The Pavilion Master said that to bid for this Spirit Flower, one needs to prepare at least... ten million gold coins."

"Ten million, the Xiao family should be able to afford it, right?" Su Han smiled.

"You're kidding! Before Sister joined the Cold Cloud Sect, the Xiao family's annual profit was only fifty to sixty thousand. Ten million is equivalent to the Xiao family's income for twenty years!"

Xiao Yuran shook her head, "Not to mention whether the Xiao family has that much money, even if they do, Father wouldn't buy the Spirit Flower. Even if we buy it, it's only one of the four things. If the other three are as expensive, the family can't afford it."

"The main reason is that your father is afraid I'm deceiving you, right?" Su Han smiled.
