Chapter 91

Leaving aside how fast Su Han’s refining speed was and how high his success rate was, what Ling Qinghai was most puzzled about was where Su Han got so many gold coins from.

According to his investigation, Su Han was indeed just a junior member of the Su family in Yuan Mountain County. He had once suffered a mental breakdown during cultivation, which led to the severance of his dragon meridian. Later, he somehow recovered, but because he had offended the Chen and Lin families, he was expelled from the Su family and had been living under the Xiao family ever since.

The total value of the items required for this sect mission was close to ten billion. Even if the four major families of Yuan Mountain County combined, they could not come up with it!

"Indeed, the professions of weapon refining and alchemy are truly the most profitable." Ling Qinghai sighed.

Although he had a bit of martial talent, he really couldn’t grasp the intricacies of alchemy and weapon refining.

Talent was something that couldn’t be explained. Even if he saw others making a lot of money, there was nothing he could do about it.

The only thing Ling Qinghai could think of was that Su Han first refined a batch of weapons and elixirs, then sold them, used the money earned to continue refining, and eventually gathered enough items for the mission.

But thinking about it, Ling Qinghai was shocked to realize how high Su Han’s success rate must have been in refining these weapons and elixirs.

How high a success rate would it take to gather items worth nearly ten billion gold coins in just three months?

"Are you really just at the Dragon Meridian realm?" Ling Qinghai couldn’t help but ask.

Su Han shrugged: "What do you think?"

Ling Qinghai fell silent. He could clearly sense that Su Han’s aura was at the Dragon Meridian realm, but none of the things Su Han had done could be accomplished by someone at the Dragon Meridian realm.

"Alright."

Su Han said: "This time I came to see you, not only to deliver the sect mission items, but also for other matters."

"Um, these items are indeed sufficient and meet the standards required for the mission. I will have someone prepare several land deeds for you, mostly resource-rich areas within ten thousand miles of Yuan Mountain County. As for where you want to establish your sect, that’s up to you."

Ling Qinghai nodded: "What else do you need to say?"

"First, Chen Feng was locked in the Mad Demon Hall, right? When he comes out, you must notify me immediately." Su Han said.

"Chen Feng?"

Ling Qinghai frowned. During the previous evaluation, he had seen clearly the grudge between Chen Feng and Su Han. If it weren’t for Su Han, Chen Feng would be an absolute genius.

Moreover, Chen Feng was his disciple. Su Han asking him to notify him clearly meant he wanted to deal with Chen Feng, which made Ling Qinghai somewhat conflicted.

"Chen Feng is my disciple. Do you really have to kill him?" Ling Qinghai asked.

Su Han shook his head: "For your sake, I won’t kill him, but he and I had a bet. If he loses, the Chen family will be eradicated from Yuan Mountain County. You should know about my past. The Chen and Lin families attacked the Su family to take my life. I won’t kill Chen Feng, but I won’t let the Chen family off."

"I see, then that’s fine, as long as you don’t kill Chen Feng." Ling Qinghai sighed in relief.

What he cared about was Chen Feng himself, or rather, Chen Feng’s talent.

As for the Chen family’s fate, what did it have to do with him?

If he were in Su Han’s position, after being hunted by the Chen family, he wouldn’t let them off either once he had the power.

"Second, among the ten sect establishment orders you issued, there’s one called the Blood Demon Sect, right?" Su Han said.

"How do you know?" Ling Qinghai countered.

Before obtaining a sect establishment order, one usually names their sect first, like Su Han’s God Slaying Pavilion or the Blood Demon Sect where Mei Jitian was.

However, few people knew which sects had received the orders Ling Qinghai issued.

"I encountered someone from the Blood Demon Sect."

A cold light flashed in Su Han’s eyes: "If the Blood Demon Sect establishes itself, you must notify me immediately."

"What are you planning to do?"

Ling Qinghai felt a chill when he saw the coldness in Su Han’s eyes.

This was the first time he saw the terrifying emotions hidden beneath Su Han’s calm exterior.

"Destroy the Blood Demon Sect." Su Han said.

"What?"

Ling Qinghai was directly shocked. Su Han wanted to destroy the Blood Demon Sect?

Others might not know, but Ling Qinghai was well aware that among the sect establishment orders he issued, the Blood Demon Sect was one of the strongest. Although it hadn’t established itself yet, it had already recruited thousands of disciples, and once established, it would instantly have tens of thousands.

Even the Cold Cloud Sect, after its establishment, wasn’t as strong.

"How many people are in your sect?" Ling Qinghai couldn’t help but ask.

Su Han thought for a moment and said: "At most, less than twenty."

"Twenty people? What are the strengths of these twenty people?"

"Master at the Dragon Core realm, three or four at the Dragon Blood realm, the rest are at the Dragon Meridian realm."

Ling Qinghai: "……"

Twenty people, to destroy a sect with tens of thousands of members?

This is ridiculous!!!

If Su Han were at the Dragon Emperor realm or even the Dragon Venerable realm, Ling Qinghai wouldn’t say anything if he claimed to destroy a first-class sect with millions of members.

At that level, human sea tactics were useless.

But at the moment, the highest realm among Su Han’s group was the Dragon Core realm, with most at the Dragon Blood and Dragon Meridian realms. The Blood Demon Sect could probably drown these twenty people with just a few spits!

"The Blood Demon Sect is very powerful, with several people at the Dragon Core realm, and thousands of disciples. I think, regardless of your grudge with the Blood Demon Sect, it’s best not to provoke them."

"Several Dragon Core realm? Then why is a peak Dragon Spirit realm person the deputy sect master?" Su Han frowned.

"Are you talking about Mei Jitian?"

Ling Qinghai smiled: "The true background of the Blood Demon Sect is not the Cold Cloud Sect, but the True Martial Sect, an eighth-rate sect. However, the True Martial Sect no longer has any sect establishment orders, so the Blood Demon Sect had to get one from me. I have a good relationship with the True Martial Sect’s master, so I gave them one, making the Blood Demon Sect fall under my jurisdiction."

"Mei Jitian was sent by the True Martial Sect to the Blood Demon Sect. Although his realm is not high, he has strong backing, so the Blood Demon Sect gave him the position of deputy sect master."

"I see." Su Han understood.

Ling Qinghai suddenly remembered something and asked: "How do you know Mei Jitian is the deputy sect master of the Blood Demon Sect? Have you met him?"

"Yes."

Su Han nodded: "We went to the Beast Mountain Range before and happened to encounter a hundred-person team led by Mei Jitian, and there was a conflict."

"Fortunately, you returned safely. Mei Jitian is a peak Dragon Spirit realm expert, just one step away from the Dragon Core realm, and he has the secret techniques of the True Martial Sect, making him very powerful." Ling Qinghai said.

"I killed him." Su Han said calmly.

Ling Qinghai: "……"
