560: Chapter 560: Acquiring the Earth Rune_1 560: Chapter 560: Acquiring the Earth Rune_1 “If we add the two thousand-year-old dicinal herbs from the Jin family today, it is a quite fruitful harvest.
Let’s go find Yan’er and prepare to pack up,” Su Chengyu said to Lin Chuxue.
“Alright.”
Lin Chuxue nodded.
At this mont, the voice of Qingxu Zi echoed in Su Chengyu’s mind.
“Boy, co get your Earth Rune.”
Su Chengyu asked Lin Chuxue to return to the trade hall first to find Yu Yanshu, while he took the elevator to the ground floor to et Qingxu Zi outside the convention center.
Qingxu Zi flicked his finger, and a symbol flew into Su Chengyu’s hand.
“I’ve given you the symbol, I’ll take my leave.”
“Master, why the rush?” Su Chengyu asked.
“I am very busy.
You think I roam around all day like you?” Qingxu Zi replied.
“Master, what are you busy with?
Exorcising demons?” Su Chengyu inquired.
Qingxu Zi stroked his beard and said: “Exorcising demons is the duty of the Demon Slayer Departnt.
Such trivial matters, I couldn’t be bothered!
I am busy with very important matters.”
Su Chengyu was surprised.
Whatever could make Qingxu Zi regard it as an important matter, must certainly not be simple.
Su Chengyu then asked, “Do I still have two chances to seek your help?”
“Yes,” Qingxu Zi nodded.
“Then I want to use one of them.
Please help find my sister.”
Su Chengyu had always worried about Su Xiaoxiao.
Although he knew she was alive, he didn’t know where she was, whether she was being bullied, whether she was struggling.
Retrieving Su Xiaoxiao was also very important to him.
“I can’t help,” Qingxu Zi shook his head.
“How can you not help?” Su Chengyu complained.
“Finding people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it’s very troubleso and ti-consuming!
Even if it’s for you, I am too busy to spare this much ti,” Qingxu Zi replied seriously.
“What about the promised three instances of help?” Su Chengyu stated with frustration.
Qingxu Zi said, “Helping three tis depends on the specific situation.
If I can, I will.
But if I can’t, there’s nothing I can do.
To find your sister is actually quite simple, the Primordial Eye of your apprentice can help you.
Once she enters the Foundation Establishnt Realm, the special ability of the Primordial Eye should be able to locate your sister.”
“However, let remind you again, since your apprentice has the Primordial Eye, the heavenly tribulation she will face will be exceptionally strong.
The higher the talent of the person, the stronger the tribulation they face.
Therefore, unless you’re absolutely certain, do not let her try to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, or else she will very likely die under the tribulation.”
After saying that, Qingxu Zi disappeared at the stroke of his horsetail whisk.
He left pretty fast, and it made Su Chengyu curious about what important matter he was dealing with.
Su Chengyu was sowhat disappointed, but he quickly cheered himself up so as not to feel discouraged.
Yan’er was already at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, not far from the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
But as Qingxu Zi also ntioned, the tribulation that Yu Yanshu would face would be incredibly powerful.
Even with the protection of the True Dragon Reverse Scale, it would be extrely risky.
She currently shouldn’t try to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, otherwise, her survival rate would be incredibly low.
After Qingxu Zi had left, Su Chengyu returned to the trade hall.
The person from the Zhuo family who had been assigned to tail Su Chengyu realized that he had vanished.
He quickly searched for Su Chengyu in the hall.
“Darn it!
This brat managed to slip away, what should I do if the Second Master blas it on ?”
This mber of the Zhuo family was anxiously looking around, when soone tapped on his shoulder from behind.
“Are you looking for ?”
The man turned around and saw Su Chengyu, which gave him quite a scare.
He quickly denied, “Who are you?
I don’t know you.”
“Go back and tell your young master, if he wants the secret manual, he needs to exchange it with dicinal herbs!
Considering Zhuo Family’s influence in Danyang, getting two or three more thousand-year-old dicinal herbs shouldn’t be a problem.
But don’t think about seizing it by force, I can destroy the secret manuals any ti.”
The man from the Zhuo family stopped pretending and quickly replied, “Of course not!
Our Zhuo Family is an established and reputable family in Danyang and the host of this trade conference.
We’ve always been above board and would never resort to robbery!
Our Second Master has already returned ho to discuss collecting herbs with the family head.”
“Once you have the herbs, contact on this number.”
Su Chengyu left his phone number with the Zhuo family mber, then left the convention center with Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu.
With the Earth Rune in his possession, he planned to visit Libo Garden that night, dig out the treasure buried underground, and find out exactly what it was.
After Su Chengyu left, the mber of the Zhuo Family promptly contacted Zhuo Kun to report.
“You should return, the surveillance must continue,” Zhuo Kun said and hung up.
The Zhuo family was determined to acquire Su Chengyu’s two secret manuals.
While they were indeed thinking about collecting dicinal herbs, the rarity of thousand-year-old dicinal herbs made this a challenging task even for the Zhuo family.
Using force as a last resort would damage their reputation, Zhuo family did care about appearances afterall.
However, if they couldn’t gather enough dicinal herbs, the Zhuo family wasn’t going to abandon the idea of forcibly seizing the manuals.
“To my knowledge, the Jin family has two thousand-year-old dicinal herbs and the Shen family has one.
We could just buy the herbs from them,” Zhuo Kun suggested.
“I’ll personally call Jin Zhenghao and Shen Yongji to discuss this.”
The Zhuo family head, Zhuo Qian, decided to intervene personally to put pressure on the Jin and Shen families, both of which were Martial Arts families.
Although the thousand-year-old dicinal herbs were expensive, their family wasn’t short on money.
An Earth Rank secret manual is an inheritance, it has the power to reinvigorate a family.
No matter how expensive the dicinal herbs are, they can’t compare to the value of a secret manual.
Jin Zhenghao knew that the Zhuo family had already obtained one of the secret manuals and was quite anxious.
The Jin family had originally planned to snatch them by force, but it seed the Zhuo family was eyeing the sa prize, making the plan difficult to execute.
After discussing, Jin Zhenghao also decided to buy the herbs from the Shen family.
This way, they could directly exchange for the secret manual.
When Jin Zhenghao received a call from Zhuo Qian, and heard him suggesting buying the herbs, Jin Zhenghao imdiately understood his intention.
“Brother Zhuo, you have already obtained one secret manual, you should leave so for as well.
The other manual should be mine.
I have two herbs in my possession, and Shen has agreed to sell his herb to .
As for this manual, I am also determined to have it.”
Jin Zhenghao replied on the phone.
Hearing this, Zhuo Qian understood that there was no way he could get the herbs from the Jin Family.
He hung up the phone with a look of anger.
“Good one, Jin Zhenghao, you’re pretty quick.
You’ve even discussed it with Shen Yongji already.
It seems like if we want this secret manual, we have to snatch it.
We really don’t have any other choice,” Zhuo Qian said with a gloomy face.
“Why would Shen Yongji readily agree to sell the herbs to Jin Zhenghao?
When it cos to an Earth Rank secret manual, Shen Yongji is not one to be trifled with,” Zhuo Kun questioned.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.
Even if Shen Yongji hasn’t agreed, Jin Zhenghao will definitely not sell the herbs to us!
Anyhow, the option to exchange is now off the table!” Zhuo Qian declared.
“Then, we can only snatch it!” Zhuo Kun imdiately decided.
“While I am considerably gentle and peace-loving and do not resort to violence, the situation leaves no other choice.
The secret manual must not land in the hands of the Jin family.
Let’s plan on how to snatch it!” Zhuo Qian said with a malicious glint in his eyes.
