Chapter Twenty-Two: Sneak Attack

  Just as Yue Cheng was recuperating from his injuries, the Huang family arrived at the Yue residence with a menacing attitude, only to be driven away by Yue Zifeng and Yue Zishan. The power of the two families is roughly equal, and the Huang family is still unable to do anything about the Yue family. This time, the two families have truly fallen out.

  Yue Zishan also knew some things about Yue Cheng, but Yue Zifeng still didn't tell him that Yue Cheng practiced alchemy, which was also what Yue Cheng had told Yue Zifeng not to say for the time being.

  Feeling that the injuries on his body were no longer a major issue, Yue Cheng took out the Wan Shou Furnace he had purchased from Yuan Bao Zong from his spatial storage bag. Next, Yue Cheng planned to first help Yue Zi Feng refine a batch of elixirs; otherwise, the Yue family would be in trouble.

  Yue Cheng immediately pulled out a large pile of medicinal materials from his spatial storage bag, all of which were brought by Yue Zifeng. It should be enough to refine thirty or forty third-grade elixirs. The twenty-two third-grade elixirs that Yue Cheng refined last time had been sold out by Yue Zifeng, not a single one left. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to give Yue Zishan so many gold coins.

  He took a deep breath, and in his hand, a familiar hand seal formed. Refining third-grade elixirs was already second nature to Yue Cheng, and after breaking through to the initial stage of Open Brightness, he could easily refine third-grade elixirs.

  Two strands of Supreme True Fire condensed into shape from Yue Cheng's hands and immediately poured into the Wan Shou Furnace. As the Supreme True Fire was injected, the Wan Shou Furnace suddenly emitted a series of buzzing beast roars, which seemed somewhat mysterious and eerie. With the Wan Shou Furnace in hand, Yue Cheng also knew that a good dan furnace could make the alchemist consume much less true energy, while also greatly helping the quality of the dan medicine.

  A month later, Yue Cheng finally left the mountain cave with the help of Wan Shou Furnace. Refining three-grade elixirs was now effortless for Yue Cheng. During this month, Yue Cheng refined a total of 36 various three-grade elixirs, including six Foundation Establishment Pills, which were specifically entrusted by Yue Zi Feng to be made. The Foundation Establishment Pill had become the signature elixir of the Yue Family's military camp.

  Among these elixirs, Yue Cheng only made mistakes with two of them, which is already a pretty good result. After a month of secluded healing and elixir refinement, Yue Cheng's injuries have all healed, and his cultivation has also made some progress, although he is still some distance away from the middle stage of the Radiant Qi. After all, the higher one's cultivation, the slower the progress, so it's already pretty good that he can make such rapid progress.

  Leaving the secluded mountain cave, Yue Cheng first returned to his own room to pack up his luggage. He was just about to go to the Yue family's military equipment shop to deliver the medicinal pellets to Yue Zi Feng when Yue Zi Shan's figure appeared in Yue Cheng's room.

  "Honestly, I heard that you killed a four-star great Dou Shi from the Huang family and also injured Huang Zhi Liang, is that true?" Yue Zi Shan asked softly, although Yue Zi Feng and Su Xin Er had already told him many times before, he still couldn't believe it.

  "Yes, they provoked me, so I took action." Yue Cheng replied faintly, it seemed that the bodyguard who was beaten to a pulp by himself had already died.

  "You can't cultivate Qi, could it be that Tong Jing Dan is really effective?" Yue Zishan suddenly became suspicious, could it be that Tong Jing Dan was indeed effective.

  "Well, I don't know what's going on either. After taking the Tongjing Dan, there was a surge of energy inside me." Yuke Cheng could only find an excuse to placate Yuezishan.

  "I didn't expect Tong Jing Dan to actually work." Yue Zishan's heart was filled with joy, if he had known that Tong Jing Dan really had such a miraculous effect, he should have found it for Cheng Er earlier. Fortunately, a miracle finally appeared now.

  "Cheng Er, you'd better be careful lately, the Huang family might look for trouble with you." said Yue Zishan.

  "Oh, I see." Yue Cheng replied faintly. It seems that he really needs to be more careful lately. If the Huang family sends a master with nine or ten stars or above, he won't be able to handle it. He should focus on enhancing his cultivation and strength as soon as possible.

  After sending off Yuezishan, Yuecheng left the Yue family mansion. The three hundred and sixty Sanpin Dans on his body could only be given to Yuezifeng, who would definitely make nearly a thousand gold coins from them. Now, in all of Liting Town, probably only the Yue family's military equipment shop sells Sanpin Dans.

  After giving Dan medicine to Yue Zifeng, Yue Zifeng brought up another situation to Yue Cheng, to see if he had a way to solve it.

  Huang's family recently lowered the price of first-class and second-class elixirs to a very low level in order to strike at Yue's family, causing Yue's business to decline again. However, Yuezi Feng cannot lower the price of first-class and second-class elixirs because they are all made by alchemists invited by Yue's family, who will take a certain percentage of profit regardless of the selling price. Originally, Yue's family didn't have much profit from first-class and second-class elixirs, and if they lowered the price again, they would lose money.

  The Huang family, because they have a second-grade alchemist in their own family, will never lose money no matter how they do it. If this continues, the Yue family's military equipment store will be in trouble. Relying solely on Yue Cheng's third-grade medicinal pellets won't last long.

  Yue Cheng couldn't think of a solution for the time being, he himself couldn't also refine a large batch of second-grade and first-grade elixirs to compete with the Huang family on price, this way there wouldn't be any benefits for the Yue family either, it seems like he needs to come up with a good plan.

  After leaving the Yue family's military barracks, Yue Cheng slowly walked along the way back home. When he passed by a quiet small path, a figure blocked his way.

  "Listen up, kid. The Huang family is not to be trifled with." The man standing in front of Yue Cheng wore a blue long gown and had a middle-aged appearance. He was staring coldly at Yue Cheng, having followed him all the way from the Yue family's armory to this place.

  "It's bad!" Yue Cheng's face changed slightly, feeling that the green-robed man's cultivation should be at the level of a Seven-Star or Eight-Star Great Dou Shi, much stronger than that bodyguard. With his current cultivation, he was no match for him.

  "What do you want to do?" Yue Cheng asked the man in green, but his mind was thinking of how to escape, this revenge can be reported next time.

  "Kill you, and I don't think Yuezi Mountain will dare to do anything to my Huang family?" The man in the green robe said coldly, and his figure flashed with a phantom shadow. His left palm carried a strong aura of Dou Qi and slapped towards Yue Cheng. His strength was more than one level higher than that of the bodyguard Yue Cheng had faced a month ago.

  "Blazing Inferno Orb" Yue Cheng shouted, his hands forming a strange hand seal. A scorching hot fireball rapidly took shape between his hands and shot towards the man in green robes. The intense energy within the fireball was only slightly inferior to the man's attack...

  With a loud "bang", two forces collided, releasing a massive explosive sound. Immediately after the explosion, a ripple of energy spread out from the center, and Yue Cheng's body was suddenly blown backward by the spreading ripples. Just then, a broadsword with a cyan color appeared in Yue Cheng's hand.
