Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

"His name is Zong Zhengcai. He is proficient in wood-attributed fighting spirit and is extremely powerful. Even Yao Sheng couldn't take a single move from him." Liu Fei sighed, "My cousin is still in seclusion, and even if he comes out, he won't attack. His target has always been Lin Xiuya."

"Zong Zhengcai is the second in command of Yumen. The first in command is Yan Hao, and Yan Hao has a close relationship with Lin Xiuya."

"Zong Zhengcai..." Lu Yu ignored Liu Fei's other words. Knowing this was enough.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Xun'er asked in a deep voice. She didn't think that Lu Yu would swallow his anger.

"I said, uproot them all!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "Senior Liu Fei, can you tell me about the Medicine Gang?"

The Medicine Gang is the key. It is the hub that connects everyone together, the number one enemy of the Holy Gate, and the root of trouble.

Zong Zhengcai is not important, he is just a man with some strength, and Lu Yu can knock him down with just one slap.

"Let me tell you about the medicine gang. I have a lot of connections with the group that sells fake medicine." At this time, a powerful businessman appeared at the door. The people in the room looked up and found that it was Lin Yan.

There was a flash of surprise in Liu Fei's eyes. How could Lu Yu be related to the tenth on the strong list?

Ignoring Liu Fei's surprised look, Lin Yan pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "The Medicine Gang is a group of people who sell fake medicine."

"Hey... a year ago, Han Xian and I bought a [Beast Power Pill] and planned to go into the mountains to hunt a fifth-level monster. As a result, the effect of the [Beast Power Pill] was only half of what Han Xian said, and the effect lasted only a minute. I almost died under the claws of the monster."

As he spoke, Lin Yan rolled up his sleeves, revealing three hideous scars on his left arm.

"The Medicine Gang not only sells fake medicine to me, but also to others. Sometimes we would rather take leave and go out to find the alchemy department than purchase pills from the Medicine Gang in the inner courtyard." Lin Yan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice.

"This...can you tolerate it?" Liu Fei swallowed and couldn't help asking. A fifth-level magical beast...this level is too high, and she is just a great fighting master.

"He was beaten back by Zong Zhengcai." Lin Yan sneered. If he had completely eliminated the fire poison, would he still need to be afraid of Zong Zhengcai?

He will definitely get back at this nemesis, and it’s not far away!

Doo doo doo!

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a member of the Holy Gate walked in with a gold-plated red invitation in his hand.

"Master, it was sent by the Medicine Gang, saying that Gang leader Han Xian wants to host a banquet for you." The member of the Holy Sect said with a sullen face. This behavior of the Medicine Gang was simply excessive.

Lü Yu opened it and said, "My brother Lü Yu, I am writing to you personally. Han Xian of the Medicine Gang has arranged a banquet at Hongyun Tower. I beg you to come and attend the banquet. I believe I have something to discuss with you!"

"Haha... Hongmen Banquet, you're treating me..." Lu Yu patted the invitation with a gloomy face. The words in it were full of condescension!

"Lü Yu, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the banquet!" Lu Yu snorted, "I want to see what they are going to do!"

Chapter 130 I, Lu Yu, am not Zhang Mazi!

All the foundations of the Inner Court are built on the Fallen Heart Flame. The best manifestation of this is the economic foundation of the Inner Court: fire energy!

In the inner courtyard, all economic activities are run through fire energy. Here, not only are there the sale of elixirs and battle bets, but all kinds of daily necessities are also traded through fire energy.

It's a very simple thing: there are gangs engaged in real estate and catering in the inner courtyard. In the inner courtyard, many buildings are built by several gangs. The threshold for this kind of thing is not high compared to selling pills. Several gangs are doing this kind of thing, and students in the inner courtyard have many choices.

Of course, since these matters involve the basic living supplies of inner college students, the inner college officials will charge a certain tax rate.

There was such an incident in the original book. After Xiao Yan's Panmen obtained the medicine business license, he was told that he needed to pay a tax rate of 0.2%. This was done to prevent excessive concentration of fire energy and to prevent inflation caused by excessive distribution of fire energy in the inner courtyard.

"These situations are much better than the medicine industry..." Lu Yu walked on the street, slowly heading towards Hongyun Tower, but he was thinking in his mind.

The Medicine Gang must be disbanded, and Han Xian must pay a price, otherwise he will no longer be able to continue as the leader of the Holy Gate, but what happens after that?

If such a huge market is seized by the Holy Gate, it may very likely turn the Holy Gate into a waste like the Medicine Gang. Is it possible to support a new gang in the medicine industry?

Lu Yu doesn't want his Holy Sect to become something as disgusting as the Medicine Gang. The dragon-slaying boy must not become an evil dragon!

Hongyun Tower is the favorite place for some leaders of the inner courtyard to talk. It is luxurious, elegant and quiet.

On the top floor, in a luxurious private room, three men sat together bored.

One is an old acquaintance of Lu Yu, Bai Cheng from the Bai Gang.

A man wearing a golden alchemist robe and with a medicine cauldron badge with four silver ripples on his chest. He looks golden and noble. This man is none other than the leader of the Medicine Gang, Han Xian!

However, the person sitting on the main seat was a burly man with a strong build. He was two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. From time to time, a hint of green flashed in the depths of his eyes. He sat on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, slowly looking at Bai Cheng and Han Xian in front of him.

This person is none other than Zong Zhengcai, who is well-known on the powerful list and ranks eighth!

"Are you sure that kid will come back?" Zong Zhengcai asked calmly. His voice was muffled and low like a bear, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

A mere rookie who had just entered the inner courtyard for a month actually needed him to be in charge and suppress others?

Han Xian didn't say anything, but looked at Bai Cheng. Among the three of them, only Bai Cheng had dealt with that kid.

In his opinion... a mere Dou Ling might have already become a turtle with its tail between its legs.

"I will." Bai Cheng nodded, gritted his teeth, and said in a cold voice: "That kid is arrogant and domineering. He relies on his status as an alchemist and his cultivation talent to look down on everyone. He doesn't take us seniors seriously at all."

"And don't forget, that guy relied on his pretty face to get Liu Fei's favor, so we have no way to start with him."

"Hey... then let him see the rules of the inner courtyard tonight!" Han Xian had a sneer on his face:

"No matter who it is in the inner courtyard, if it's a dragon... it has to coil up, if it's a tiger... it has to lie down! As long as Liu Qing doesn't come out, it doesn't matter who backs that kid up!"

Zong Zhengcai nodded slightly: "But this kid has great talent. If he is trained well, he will be a talent. Don't hurt him."

"If he had known what was best for him, we might not have had so much trouble..." Bai Cheng sneered.

However, this new rookie has never experienced a beating, does not know the dangers of society, does not know how to compromise, and does not know that sometimes kneeling down can make his life better than before!

Han Xian chuckled and said, "We are very sincere in our cooperation. I think he will know what to do!"

At this moment, Zong Zhengcai's eyes flickered, and a hint of teasing appeared on his rough, bear-like face: "Hey... here you come, you're quite brave, you really dare to come..."

……

Downstairs in Hongyun Building, Lu Yu looked up at the most luxurious restaurant in the inner courtyard. To be honest, most students actually don’t like to come to this place.

The students in the inner courtyard are all geniuses from various families. Everyone knows that practicing hard and working hard to improve strength are the bottom line, so the students in the inner courtyard are basically hard practitioners. They are either working hard to earn fire energy, or using fire energy to practice hard.

Those who like to come here are basically the people from the Medicine Gang. These people are pampered alchemists. They don’t need to rack their brains every day to think about how to earn fire energy. As long as they sit at home, the fire energy will come to them.

As for practicing... that's something only trash do. As long as I know how to make medicine, why would I be afraid of any master who won't obey me?

“Heh… As expected of the Medicine Gang…” Lu Yu chuckled. Since he came to the Fighting Continent, the Medicine Gang was the people he enjoyed the most, apart from the Jia Ma Royal Family.

Of course, the Gama royal family lived in such luxury in order to demonstrate their majesty and consolidate their rule, but this medicine gang... simply enjoyed themselves for the sake of enjoyment!

There are no waiters in Hongyunlou, so you can do whatever you need yourself.

This is normal. In the inner courtyard, no one would think of being a waiter to earn fire energy. Everyone is a child of destiny. Why should I beg for mercy to serve you? I can earn more by fighting monsters, and it is more prestigious!

So... although Hongyun Tower is the most luxurious restaurant in the inner courtyard, there are only a few people maintaining basic operations and no waiters to serve.

Lu Yu stepped up and went straight to the top floor, which was the address of the Medicine Gang's Han Xian's banquet.

……

As soon as Lu Yu walked forward, a figure followed closely. He was dressed in black, thin, and his temperament was... somewhat feminine.

Yao Sheng! Ranked 17th on the Strongest List!

A trace of helplessness flashed across Yao Sheng's handsome and somewhat feminine face. Being sent by the person he liked to protect another man...this was really depressing.

But...it has to be done. Who made him not know how to say no?

Yao Sheng raised his leg and prepared to step forward, but at this moment... another figure walked out of the darkness, tall and dressed in a gray robe.

"Lin Yan?"

"Yao Sheng?" Lin Yan looked at the somewhat feminine man in front of him in surprise: "You were also called to protect Lu Yu?"

"Yes... Fei'er asked me to come." Yao Sheng sighed.

"...Then let's come together. I was also urged to come here." Lin Yan sighed. It was Hu Jia who called him. Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran seemed to have great confidence in Lu Yu and were not worried about his safety at all.

"Okay!" Yao Sheng felt slightly relieved. With Lin Yan around, he wouldn't have to worry so much about facing Zong Zhengcai.

The two men walked side by side toward the top floor.

……

As soon as Lü Yu walked into the top floor, a loud laugh was heard: "Hahaha, this must be the famous leader of the Holy Sect, Lü Yu!"

"I have long heard of your great name!"

In a flash, a two-meter-tall burly man appeared in front of Lu Yu. Lu Yu, who was only 1.78 meters tall, had to tilt his head back to see his face.

"Eighth on the Strong List? Zong Zhengcai?" Lu Yu looked at the burly man in front of him with great interest. Logically speaking, this kind of person should be preparing for the Strong List Competition, so why is he so active?

Is he so confident that he can keep his place in the top ten?

The Inner Court's Strongest Ranking Competition is held every five years. The prize for the top ten is the Body Tempering with Heart Fire. Once you obtain it, it can basically be said that there is no bottleneck in advancing to the Dou Wang level.

Therefore, everyone is keeping an eye on the top ten rankings, especially those ranked eleventh and twelve. They are more eager to enter their previous life than anyone else. Some of them are so anxious that their eyes are almost green. They desperately seize the time to practice and prepare for the competition, vowing to regain the honor they failed to achieve in the last competition.

With so many wolves surrounding them, let alone the others, even the top five would feel a little guilty, but... this eighth-ranked Zong Zhengcai doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?

"Haha, good brother, just call me Brother Zong." Zong Zhengcai patted Lu Yu's shoulder with his big hand like a palm leaf fan and laughed heartily, as if Lu Yu really had a good relationship with him.

"Let's talk about business!" Lu Yu smiled faintly, patted off Zong Zhengcai's hand on his shoulder, walked past Zong Zhengcai, and said to Han Xian and Bai Cheng.

Zong Zhengcai narrowed his tiger eyes, and he was indeed arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone... This little brother really deserves a beating!

Zong Zhengcai stood behind him, his thick arms with bulging veins and his eyes flashing with cold light.

Han Xian and Bai Cheng looked at each other. As expected, this kid refused to accept the toast and was punished with a drink!

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the leader of the Holy Sect, you are so extraordinary!" Han Xian laughed: "Please come in, let's talk over the table!"

Let’s talk first, and then fight if the conversation doesn’t work!

Bai Cheng didn't say anything, but just nodded to Lu Yu, but a look of gloating flashed in Bai Cheng's eyes from time to time.

Although Zong Zhengcai looks rough, he is very concerned about his reputation. This kid Lu Yu dared to offend him... Hehe, he will suffer the consequences!

With their own thoughts, Lu Yu, Han Xian and Bai Cheng sat at the table, while Zong Zhengcai, who was ranked eighth on the strong list, quietly left and went to a private room next door.

"Han Xian, you guys in the Medicine Gang are quite courageous... How dare you injure someone so badly?" Lu Yu didn't look at the various dishes on the table, but stared at Han Xian coldly and said. The chilling murderous intent slowly enveloped Han Xian who was sitting opposite him.

Han Xian's face turned pale immediately. His fighting spirit was for refining medicine, not for fighting. He had always lived a life of luxury. When he was hit hard by Lu Yu's murderous aura, his hands and feet suddenly became cold and his breathing became rapid.

The sudden show of force almost made him lose his composure, but fortunately...

"Hehe... Master Lu, why bother brother Han Xian? He's just an alchemist!" Bai Cheng's words sounded indifferently, and the aura around him spread out, instantly enveloping Han Xian and helping him get rid of the oppression of Lu Yu's aura.

Han Xian took a deep breath and looked at him with lingering fear. He was already a five-star Dou Ling, but he had no power to resist this kid's momentum?

Didn’t he just start fighting spirits?

"Hehehe..." Bai Cheng laughed softly. His calm and composed voice made Han Xian feel at ease.

Humph... So what if he's strong? Is he stronger than Bai Cheng? Stronger than Zong Zhengcai?

"Han Xian, your medicine gang injured four people from my Saint Sect, and you must give an explanation!" Lu Yu forced in a cold voice.

Han Xian took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said with a laugh: "Okay, I invited Master Lu here today just for this matter!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and a compartment slowly opened, revealing a man who was tied up and wearing a green badge.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes. He didn't recognize the person, but he recognized the badge. He was from the Qing Gang, the party that attacked the Shengmen.

"This man is the one who injured the Sect Master's men. He is the second in command of the Green Gang. Now, the Sect Master will deal with him." Han Xian laughed and said, "As long as he doesn't kill him or chop off his hands and feet, the Sect Master will do whatever he wants."

Lu Yu did not say anything and just looked at the two men quietly. In this world, everything has a price, and the current incident is no exception.

"..."

Han Xian, who had been waiting for Lü Yu's reaction for a long time, smiled awkwardly, then cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lü Yu, we did have some conflicts before, but now I solemnly invite you to join us!"

"Join you?" Lu Yu had a strange look on his face.

"Please rest assured, you are cooperating with us. We have no intention of annexing you." Han Xian said in a deep voice: "The Holy Sect will always be the Holy Sect and will not be merged with other forces."

"cooperate?"

Lu Yu's brows sank. Did these people do so many things just to get him to join them? What did he like about me? Did he want me to be their laborer?

"Yes, cooperation!" Han Xian asked in a deep voice: "As long as you share the recipes of Ice Spirit Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Marrow Cleansing Ice Spirit Liquid, and Marrow Cleansing Cold Spirit Liquid, we will work together..."

"Join hands to make money?" Lü Yu's face showed a hint of amusement, and his expression was like a smile: "Then...how do we divide the profits after we succeed?"

"Hahaha...Brother Lu is a smart man!" Han Xian gave him a thumbs up. This kid is quite sensible.

But Bai Cheng on the side frowned. This guy doesn't want to give in easily.

Han Xian didn't notice this, and said excitedly: "After this is done, we'll split it 70% and make a lot of fire energy!"
