As soon as Lu Yu returned to the room, Medusa opened her eyes from her training, her expression indifferent: "How did you harvest?"
"Not bad." Lu Yu chuckled and took out a few jade boxes and placed them in front of Medusa.
"A little more than I thought." A hint of surprise flashed across Medusa's pretty face. She opened the jade box casually, only to find that some of the ingredients contained in it were the Soul-Melting Pill, but some were not.
Although she was not an alchemist, she had read the recipe and knew what medicinal ingredients were needed.
"These medicinal herbs...are you planning to make other pills?" Medusa couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the Po Zong Dan." Lü Yu smiled and said, "I prepared it for Yun Yun. With Senior Yun Shan's guidance, I believe she will be able to reach Dou Zong in a few years."
"The medicinal materials needed for the Pozong Pill are very precious. I will prepare them in advance to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes."
"..."
Medusa didn't say anything and closed the jade box silently. If she breaks through... hum, it's just a Po Zong Dan, no big deal.
It is ultimately a bad idea for Yun Yun to rely on elixirs to break through. She cannot compare to someone like her who has gone through hardships and broken through and has a solid foundation... Therefore, this king does not envy her at all!
Medusa sneered in her heart, pushed open the jade box, and prepared to continue practicing.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Medusa's eyes suddenly became sharp. She looked at Lu Yu and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. They both had no friends here!
Lu Yu took a quick look and saw soul power emanating from the person. It was a waiter in the inn.
With a frown on his face, Lu Yu opened the door and walked out: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, a distinguished guest wants to see you. Please go down to the hall to meet him." The waiter said respectfully.
"The distinguished guest wants to see me and wants me to go down to meet him?" Lu Yu had a strange look on his face. Wasn't this guest a little too arrogant?
"Lead the way!" Lu Yu raised his chin and said.
Behind her, Medusa frowned but didn't say anything. This kid's fighting ability was not inferior to hers. It would not be too late to go if something happened. If he disappeared without a word, there would be no point for her to follow him.
Soon, led by the waiter, Lu Yu came to the hall and saw the person waiting for him.
Fan Ling, with a pale and gloomy face!
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. What did he want to do?
"Mr. Lu, my name is Fan Ling, the young master of the Blood Sect. I was blind and offended you before. Please forgive me!" Fan Ling suddenly clasped his hands together, bowed, and said loudly.
All of a sudden, everyone in the hall was extremely surprised and stunned by this scene. Fan Ling of the Blood Clan has always been extremely domineering. When would he... apologize to others?
"This is my apology!" As he said this, Fan Ling took out three jade boxes from his ring, opened them, and presented them with both hands in a very humble manner.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and took a quick look. The three medicinal herbs with yin and cold properties were considered to be of medium to high rarity, which was quite good.
"What does Young Sect Master Fan Ling mean by this?" Lu Yu asked with a frown. He had never thought that Fan Ling would be like this. He had just killed the Blood Sect elder half an hour ago and threw his body on the street.
No one can tolerate this.
"I had someone follow me before, which was actually an offensive act. It was my fault for disturbing you, sir. Please accept my apology." Fan Ling held the jade box high above his head and said in a deep voice.
Lu Yu was speechless for a while. He felt a little at a loss as to what to do after hearing such frank words. This was a bit out of place. The villains in the Fighting Continent were not like this!
But now... Lu Yu's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to take the thing: "Tell me why you came."
"I would like to invite you to join the Blood Sect and become our Blood Sect's priest. Our Blood Sect is willing to support you with the treatment of a fourth-grade alchemist!" Fan Ling said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were all extremely shocked. The treatment of a fourth-grade alchemist... Is the Blood Sect going to open another medicine hall? !
This young man actually has such great abilities?
"I accept the apology, but I have no interest in joining your Blood Clan." Lu Yu said lightly, and then walked back.
"Sir, I will not give up. This is my father's order!" Fan Ling shouted, but Lu Yu had already left, leaving only Fan Ling's voice echoing.
Fan Ling shrugged, looked regretful, and left with his men.
"Young Sect Master, what does this mean?" The white-haired old man couldn't help but ask. He couldn't understand Fan Ling's operation.
Given the arrogant and domineering character of his young master, what he should really do is to bring people to block the door and then hack him to death with swords.
"Humph... There are always people in this city who can't bear to see us live well." Fan Ling sneered, "They don't dare to do anything to me, the young master of the Blood Sect, but they dare to attack a young boy!"
"Driving a tiger to devour a wolf... So that's how it is..." The white-haired old man suddenly realized.
"Let's go, let's just watch the show!" Fan Ling sneered, "How can my things be so easy to take? You don't know how to live or die, kid!"
This matter soon spread to the ears of all the big and small forces in Black Seal City, and for a while, there was a storm.
"The Blood Sect and the Eight Gates are fighting... Lu Man, it seems to be very interesting, shall we go and take a look?" A powerful voice was heard from a room.
"No, it's troublesome." Lu Man said lightly.
"What are you afraid of? Is there anyone in Black Seal City who can be our opponent? And even if there is, can't we run away if we can't beat them?"
"Huh? That sounds familiar. I think you said that before in the Tagor Desert."
"..."
……
Inside the room, Lu Yu frowned, unable to understand Fan Ling's actions. Although it posed no threat to him, he still felt unhappy.
"You don't look like you're fighting anyone?" Medusa asked doubtfully.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and then told Fan Ling about the relationship between himself and Fan Ling, including his own doubts and confusion.
After listening quietly, Medusa's eyebrows also slowly frowned: "In your opinion, how sincere is Fan Ling's words?"
"Zero." Lu Yu said. In Qianyaofang, Fan Ling was the most arrogant person. Then, for unfounded reasons, he sent people to follow him with ulterior motives.
To say that such a person would admit his mistakes...haha, that's wishful thinking!
Medusa thought for a moment and said slowly, "The Eight Gates of Black Seal City and the Blood Sect are at odds. Some time ago, an elder of the Eight Gates was abducted by Fan Ling and tortured to death using secret techniques."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "How dare he come here?"
"The leader of the Eight Gates, Yuan Yi, is a two-star Dou Huang, ranking ninth on the Black List, while the leader of the Blood Sect, Fan Lao, is a four-star, ranking fifth on the Black List. The overall strength of the Blood Sect is stronger than the first-tier of the Eight Gates." Medusa said in a deep voice:
"The Eight Sects dare not vent their anger on the Blood Sect, but you, a young man who has just arrived, are different. You can kill someone with a borrowed knife. This is a good move."
As she spoke, Medusa revealed a gloating smile, and it was unclear whether she was laughing at Lu Yu's troubles, or at the fact that the Eight Gates and the Blood Sect had hit a wall.
Lu Yu was slightly stunned, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast. When Medusa smiled, she looked really...pretty.
"What are you looking at?" Medusa suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted coldly.
"Ahem... let's continue." Lu Yu suddenly came back to his senses and coughed softly with his fist: "How do you know all this?"
"Humph, you kid, you don't think that I can only use a sword to kill people, do you?" Medusa sneered:
"This information can be obtained by asking anyone. And since you are staying in Black Seal City, there must be something attracting you. After thinking about it, it can only be the auction in a month. Even if it is not, it must be related to the Eight Gates, the largest force in this city."
So that’s how it is…Lü Yu suddenly understood.
"Tsk... a smart woman..." Lu Yu was a little unhappy. He didn't like the feeling of being seen through. "No man likes such a smart woman."
"Hmph, I have been in charge of the snake people for more than fifty years. When have I ever needed a stinky man like you?" Medusa smiled coldly and disdainfully.
"Oh~ more than fifty years..." Lu Yu dragged out the word, slightly surprised.
"Boy, you are looking for death!" Medusa suddenly raised her hand and slapped out, and the sharp palm wind slapped towards Lu Yu's handsome face.
Lu Yu laughed and slapped with his backhand. With a bang, a strong wind blew violently, instantly making the whole room messy.
However, nothing was damaged. Both of them were Dou Zong level figures with extremely accurate control of their energy, so no extra trouble would be caused.
"Hmph!" Medusa shook her hands. This time it was her turn to be unhappy. "So, what are you going to do? Go to their house to talk, resolve the misunderstanding, and make peace?"
How could Mr. Lu do such a cowardly thing?
"Don't you know my goal?" Lü Yu said with a smile, picked up the list of auction items scattered on the side, shook it, and said with a smile:
"He is using a knife to kill someone, so I will use the same trick to lure the snake out of its hole and have a chat with the leader of the Eight Gates. I think he should be happy to lend me the things on it to have a look."
"Your Majesty, you will be the surprise attack force. The people in the Black Horn region are not simple. Don't let him escape."
"This is the first time you and I work together, so don't let me down." Lu Yu chuckled.
"Hmph!" Medusa was very frugal with her words.
Chapter 96: Lu Yu’s “love rival”?
In Canaan College, in a room full of bookshelves, three or four old men sat together.
An old man on the main seat slowly put down a letter in his hand: "A letter of introduction from the Yunlan Sect of the Jiama Empire. Their young leader wants to come to our academy."
"Oh? Didn't Sect Master Yun Yun already introduce a disciple here?"
"This time it's the old leader of the Yunlan Sect, Dou Zong Yunshan."
"Douluo... The Yunlan Sect has introduced disciples here twice in a row. Is there something big going on?"
"Indeed, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Jia Ma Empire has recently begun to mobilize troops, and the target seems to be the Mulan Empire in the northeast."
"Tsk, they are sending the disciples to our Canaan Academy for refuge..."
"That's not the case. The Gama Empire has become stronger recently, and the domestic situation has changed. It makes sense to send disciples abroad."
"So what should we do with these two students from Yunlan Sect?"
"Of course we follow the rules. A Dou Zong is not capable of asking us to change the rules."
"Okay, first we'll look at his talent and aptitude, and then... arrange for him to go to Yellow Rank Class 2? Xiao Yan, who took two years off, is in this class, right?"
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that there are many troublesome students in the Jiama Empire!"
"Hehehe... being a thorn in the side is a good thing!"
"..."
……
The City Lord's Mansion of Black Seal City is also the headquarters of the Eight Gates.
On the main seat, a man in black with a gloomy face like an eagle sat upright. He was serious and intimidating without even getting angry.
The ten fingers hanging on the armrests of the chair sparkled with a faint golden luster, as sharp as a blade.
At this time, a middle-aged man came running over: "Master, the matter of the Blood Sect has been investigated!"
"The major pharmacies replied, saying that the young man had indeed purchased a lot of medicinal herbs from their stores. According to the list provided, this person would habitually put herbs with similar medicinal properties together when writing the list of herbs."
"It can be confirmed that the man is indeed an alchemist!"
Yuan Yi's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes gradually became more focused and sharp.
The middle-aged man did not stop and continued, "Just an hour ago, that person sold two two-striped Qingling pills to our auction house. According to our judgment, these two pills should have been refined by a pharmacist who had just entered the fourth level."
"Master, I can confirm that the boy is indeed an alchemist! The Blood Sect... is very likely recruiting him!"
Having said this, Yuan Yi's doubts have not disappeared. It is very wrong for Fan Ling to recruit people in his territory in such a high-profile manner. And as I said before, the arrogant and domineering Fan Ling will never bow his head.
"Master, I understand your concerns." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Although Fan Ling is domineering, there is someone who can keep him down."
"Who?"
"His father, the leader of the Blood Clan, Fan Lao!" the middle-aged man said, "If the order came from Fan Lao, then everything Fan Ling did was valid and reasonable."
Yuan Yi tapped the seat with his fingertips, and nodded slowly after a moment: "If that's the case, then go ahead and remove his legs. We still need him to make pills."
"Hehehe...Master, please rest assured." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just a Douling ant. Isn't it easy to catch it?"
"However, the woman beside him..." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands: "Can you give her to me?"
"Okay." Yuan Yi nodded, not caring about it at all. All of Lu Yu's actions during the past two days since he came to Heiyin City had been fully understood by the local tyrants, the Eight Gates.
"I have another request..." The middle-aged man licked his tongue, a morbid pleasure appeared on his face: "Master, you know my hobbies. I want this boy to see how his woman accompanies me."
Yuan Yi waved her hand: "Just don't ruin things."
"Thank you, Master!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed and turned around and left quickly.
……
A house, this is the headquarters of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. Such a powerful force would buy several houses as headquarters in some larger cities, some for collecting intelligence, and some for collecting various natural treasures.
At night, the Eight-Winged Black Snake King curled up his body and snored sweetly. He had shrunk his body at this moment, otherwise, no house would be able to accommodate him.
But at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his pair of yellow vertical pupils looked in one direction with a little surprise.
Lu Man, who was practicing next to him, also opened his eyes: "The people from the Eight Gates have finally taken action."
